are they excited to welcome tourists into the area? as rwandans, welcome people is part of our culture. so they are excited to see — most of the people — you see the kids running around, trying to grab your kayak. it's been an incredibly wild and exciting day and i am certainly off the hook for any more exercise this year, that's for sure. while the history of the genocide will never be forgotten, the travel experience really shows a different side of rwanda. everywhere you turn, there is just something new on offer. this place really is amazing. the people here have been so eager to welcome me on my first ever trip to this country. tourism is providing an excellent opportunity for rwandans to reshape their country's image. and you can only hope the dark days are well and truly in the past.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with chris mason and rachel burden. our headlines today: unsigned, but sealed and delivered — borisjohnson sends a letter to brussels seeking a delay to brexit — but without his signature. in a second, signed letter the prime minister says a further extension would damage the interests of not only the uk but also the eu. can wales join england in the rugby world cup semi—finals? we are just 15 minutes away from their match against france in japan, but they've had a late injury blow, jonathan davies has had to pull out of the game. and we'll ask if mike's hip thrusting take on the samba

is enough to see him through to next week's strictly... the weather today isn't looking too bad at all. for most of us some sunshine on offer and the forecast for the beginning of the week is not looking too bad either. it's sunday the 20th october. our top story. after defeat in the commons yeterday, borisjohnson has sent a letter to the eu, asking for an extension to the uk's withdrawal date — but he's refused to sign it. the prime minister did sign a second letter warning against any further delay. he was legally obliged to ask for an extension after mps voted yesterday to withhold approval of his brexit deal, until all the necessary legislation was in place. so what happens next? eu leaders will now consider the prime minister's request for an extension to the brexit deadline. ministers will publish the withdrawal agreement bill,

which would put the deal into law. the government may even ask mps to back boris johnson's agreement — in principle — as soon as tomorrow. if a deal is approved, the transition period will last until the end of december next year, but could be extended for another two years if a new trade deal proves complicated to negotiate. it all feels complicated. let's speak now to our political correspondent jessica parker who's in westminster this morning. good morning, jessica. theatrics, evenin good morning, jessica. theatrics, even in the art of posting a letter! 7 even in the art of posting a letter!? yes, absolutely. after super saturday, it did not turn out the way borisjohnson hoped. he had to send a letter asking the european union for a delay to brexit but as he was saying, he sent the letter but did not sign it. i am highlighting where you would expect to see his signature, it is absent that he signed another letter

basically saying he thinks the idea ofa basically saying he thinks the idea of a delay to break set is a bad idea. some mps in westminster would be infuriated by what he has done overnight —— brexit. downing street saying that what they have done is lawful but borisjohnson has written this letter to donald tusk, the european council president, saying he plans to bring forward the legislation needed to get the brexit deal over the line and intends to get the uk out the eu by the end of the month. it is a noble mission to try and explain what will happen next but frankly the bottom—line is still that there are so many options that could end up happening? that is absolutely true, a lot of people will be keeping an eye on what the eu decide to do. donald tusk european council president, tweeted last night he received the letter and would consult eu letters about the of an extension but they said

the of an extension but they said the leaders may be ambiguous as to whether they want a delay or not and whether they want a delay or not and whether they want a delay or not and whether they will permit one. that can pile on pressure on mps in westminster to get the brexit deal over the line. that is what boris johnson will be hoping. meanwhile, as you mentioned before, the government is set to try for a meaningful vote tomorrow, weather john bercow the speaker will allow that we will have to wait and see but we've had super saturday, may be we are heading to manic monday, to mulch to mulch was tuesday? it can go on and on! —— to —— to mulch us tuesday. wobbly wednesday? thrilling thursday? if it was mike, it would be thrusting thursday! mps on both sides of the brexit debate were heckled by demonstrators as they left the houses of parliament yesterday.

cabinet ministers andrea leadsom and jacob rees—mogg were both given a police escort. the shadow women and equalities minister dawn butler tweeted that she'd felt intimidated. labour's jess phillips — who says she had to be escorted out of parliament by nine police officers — called the heckling ‘wrong and counter—productive', and said that those responsible should ‘pack it in‘. it is worth pointing out that it was a minority. hong kong's anti—government protest leaders have urged for a big turnout in a planned marches today, despite the risk of arrest. police declared the planned march illegal on friday, citing concerns over public safety. let's speak to our correspodent nick beake who is in hong kong. iam i am curious to know whether the momentum behind these marches is dying away at all? i think today will be a big test of that. let me show you the scene. thousands of

people are on the streets defying that ban not to come out today or protest. potentially this is an illegal act, authorities have said and people who wear a facemask face up and people who wear a facemask face up to and people who wear a facemask face uptoa and people who wear a facemask face up to a year injail now but and people who wear a facemask face up to a year in jail now but people are still on the streets. moments ago we saw some hardcore protesters attacking a metro station, the underground here. you get the sense that the mood is changing, like it does on so many weekends here. this is the 20th consecutive weekend to protest. remember that most protesters here say they want more democracy and they are worried china is eroding their freedom. this used to bea is eroding their freedom. this used to be a british colony. fight for freedom, that is what people have been shouting here in english. it is directionless here at the moment, people are walking and stopping and going back the other way because the whole protest has been characterised as leaderless, a lot of people making decisions on social media and sending messages to one another. we

heard sirens a short while ago, i think some people will melt away soon. think some people will melt away soon. some families. the way it is going there may be some more violent confrontations with police later today. thank you very much indeed. the yellow stars and the red flag being distorted into swastikas there, on the flag of china. three people are dead after riots in the capital of chile, santiago. the demonstrations began in response to a planned rise in metro fares. a state of emergency has been declared, as gareth barlow reports. what started as a protest against travel fares has escalated, with chileans angry over huge wealth inequality. the capital should be quiet as there's a state of emergency, but instead the streets are ringing with the sound of pots and pans — a symbol of dissent which continued into the night amid the military controlled curfew. the announcement that soldiers

would be used to protect people and their property marks the first time troops have been deployed to the streets since chile returned to democracy in 1990 following the military dictatorship. the protests have brought chaos to parts of the capital. more than 300 people have been arrested and the metro is closed after it was heavily damaged. in an effort to quell the unrest, chile's president announced the fare hikes would be reversed. the protests are the worst in decades and the signs are it will take more than cheaper travel to restore calm to one of the region's wealthiest countries. gareth barlow, bbc news. the duke and duchess of cambridge have paid a second visit to the sos children's village in lahore in pakistan, after thunderstorms prevented their return flight to islamabad. it's understood that the duchess was particularly keen to return to the organisation, which provides support to more than 150 orphans in boarding homes.

after a quick game of cricket, william and kate were given friendship bracelets — a pink one for the duchess and a blue one for the duke. it isa it is a mike progress update! and on last night's strictly, guestjudge alfonso ribeiro revived a classic scene from the fresh prince of bel air, and who better to show it off with, than mike. mike and his partner katya danced a samba to ‘jump on it‘ by the sugarhill gang. but it was alfonso who brought a bit of the carlton magic with him. look at that! blimey! what we are going to do... 0h, hello! we are going to come out here and let's do it together one time. so... #jump on it, jump on it, jump on it! and then you've got to get... cheering.

applause. thank you! he ended up second from bottom, mike, on the leaderboard, and... we saw a lot of his bottom there! i recoiled in horror, darling, that is what craig revel horwood said. he does, quite frequently! the future of life on the island of ireland has long been at the heart of brexit negotiations — particularly the issue of the border. late last night, borisjohnson sent an unsigned request to the eu, asking for a brexit delay. let's try and figure out how brussels will react with the irish mep and vice—president of the european parliament, mairead mcguinness. good morning. good morning, it is a

little calmer here this morning! perhaps only for a short period of time before it gets noisy again. your reflections, first of all, on what happened in the building behind you yesterday? i suppose nobly could anticipate what happened so when the vote ca m e anticipate what happened so when the vote came through with a majority of 16 for the amendment, it had eve ryo ne 16 for the amendment, it had everyone thinking what would happen next. there is no ratification process going through the house of commons and we have to wait until tomorrow to see what emerges here but from the eu's side, i don't think people were rolling out that there would be a letter looking for an extension but people have to be cool an extension but people have to be cool, calm and collected about this because that's how we've been up to now. look at what is happening on the ground here in uk politics, it's a second deal with another prime minister and both sides of europe and the uk represented by boris johnson were happy with this outcome and we need to be ratified so all of us can and we need to be ratified so all of us can get on with life and talk

about the future and relationships between the eu and the uk. it is interesting that tomorrow, the european parliament sits in strasbourg and we anticipated a change in our agenda to ratify this deal had it gone through the house of commons yesterday. now, we will be looking to see what decisions we make, because if we were to delay, and out of respect to the house of commons that may be the decision, we will have two, at another stage, we don't normally meet in full session just once a month, that would be november. why couldn't you in the european parliament crack on with the ratification process now and then let westminster catch up? that might be the decision. that will be talked about my with all of those possibilities on the table. we a lwa ys possibilities on the table. we always took the view that out of respect to the house of commons and the parliament here, we would wait until ratification happened but perhaps our colleagues, when they meet, i'm on the constitutional affairs committee and they may take

affairs committee and they may take a different view, it is important to say that one of the letters requesting an extension has gone in. we do have time before the 31st of 0ctober. it doesn't mean that the deal will not be ratified by that stage. i think we just need to be calm about it. and also say that this is 2019, the referendum happened in 2016. it's a busy political agenda in europe, and we would like to move on. although we are conscious of the deep divisions in the house of commons and british society. how much significance do we attach to the noises we have heard in the last 12 hours? from the likes of the french president, saying, as you were reflecting there, a desire to get on with things? is it reasonable to guess that we may get a week or so of the european union and the british government saying we have to get on with this and get it sorted, and then you get to five to midnight, a minute to midnight, or

for thursday the 31st of october, and if it isn't close to being there, hey presto, there's another delay? that's one of the possibilities, i think. delay? that's one of the possibilities, ithink. there delay? that's one of the possibilities, i think. there was a lot of calls and context tween the british prime minister and leaders around europe. the president of the council has said they would take time to reflect on the next steps, which is quite right. there is no urgency or rush to decide on another date, another exit date and there is time, even up to the very close margin of october the 31st for europe to say that we need a technical extension. as we listen to commentators and politicians here and get divisions about that, the british prime minister does not want an extension. that was clear. but i am minded to be calm, but there is a wea ker am minded to be calm, but there is a weaker politics in the house of commons and european parliament and eu leaders, but i think there is a desire to move from this stage, the divorce settlement, which is taking much longer and is more difficult

than the uk anticipated, or indeed ourselves at an eu level because then we can move on to the future relationship which is what a lot of us relationship which is what a lot of us would like to do. you say there isa us would like to do. you say there is a need for calm, suggesting perhaps behind—the—scenes in europe there is less calm? th like a lot of people watching this, nobody could have anticipated the twists and turns of the votes and the amendments of court cases and all of the unrest that has happened since the unrest that has happened since the referendum in 2016. no one day—to—day would have anticipated this and that is why we have to be calm. if we reacted like yesterday with a degree of urgency or frenzy, tomorrow may give a different outcome and we have to be balanced. if you look at the style and manner of michel barnier throughout this process. . . of michel barnier throughout this process... the chief brexit negotiator. yes, his experience and depth of vision, he has always been

calm. he has always been respectful and understands the complexities and iimagine and understands the complexities and i imagine that this morning, i haven't spoken to him this morning that he would have hoped the divorce settle m e nt that he would have hoped the divorce settlement would have been ratified and we could move on and that hasn't happened. i don't think there's any point in us getting excited or boisterous about this. that is why i am delighted it is calm here this morning. i've not been on the ground here in london since yesterday and now i know the amount of tension in the airand we now i know the amount of tension in the air and we need to defuse it. everywhere. and realise... good luck with that! we need to respect the vote and try and move on. people understand that, i have spoken to many members of parliament meps who would actually like to remain. i'm hearing both sides but clearly from an eu side, a deal is done and we would like to see it ratified as soon as would like to see it ratified as soon as possible in a calm manner. mirroraid,

if we want to escape all of that and achieve that kind of calm, i know we need to turn to tomasz schafernaker. look at that picture! let's look at the sunrise. let's look at the sunrise. let's pause for a few seconds and ta ke let's pause for a few seconds and take all of that in! i tell you what, it is a nice start to the day. of what, it is a nice start to the day. of us. it is chilly though. temperatures in the last hour or so have been barely above freezing in areas. close to freezing in the south—east. in the last hour also, three degrees in tunbridge wells. liverpool is less cold, in the north of the country it isn't as cold as in the south—east. a fresh morning run which should perk you up and get you ready for the day ahead. which is looking fairly promising. plenty of fine weather around. low pressure which upset the weather for the last few days in the north say. that is

pulling away. clouds to the south, heading in the direction of the south—east. there could be a fly in the ointment for folks in the south—east and london. for the vast majority of the uk, the weather will settle. high pressure building in, a large area in the atlantic. before that happens we have a few showers across the north and the north—east of scotland, some remnants of the low pressure that was over us but there are clouds here across the continent. these clouds are heading in our direction. through the evening and overnight, clouds increasing in the south—east and by early in the morning we could have rain in kent, sussex, greater london and essex, suffolk, norfolk quite possibly. it will be the south—east. a vast majority of the country will have a dry night. it will be nippy first thing on monday, you can see the blue. this weatherfront

first thing on monday, you can see the blue. this weather front may bring some spots of rain to london on monday, we think, it is difficult to predict. this is a little unsure, you may need your umbrella in london tomorrow morning, you may not. it may be sunny. it is that close. the rest of the uk, we are confident the weather is looking absolutely fine and the afternoon as well. temperatures up to an average of 12 or 11 degrees on monday. tuesday is fairly similar, a lot of settled weather. dry start to the day, pretty much come around the northern and western isles, there could be dribs and drabs of rain in the morning and afternoon. that is pretty much it. let's have a look at the outlook for the next few days. up the outlook for the next few days. up until thursday, steady as she goes. the weather is more or less the same. these weather icons with

temperatures of 13 or 1a degrees. end of the week, a different story. the weather may change, things may change. back to you. studio: i think thatis that is a picture of salford behind you? is it? no. idon't think it is... there are too many votes! -- boats. with water! you need to come up more often and have a proper look around, then you will know! too much time in london. the mother of a junior doctor who went missing off the devon coast two years ago, says her daughter has been let down by the nhs. dr lauren phillips mother, andrea graham, who is herself a former nhs manager, has called on the health secretary to do more to support those on the front line of our hospitals. marie ashby reports. andrea graham comes to woolacombe bay in devon to feel close to her daughter.

this is where her car was found abandoned. dr lauren phillips, who was 26, had told her mother she was worried about starting a newjob in a&e in bristol. doctors have a fear that if they admitted they had struggled with a particular situation at work, or if they admitted that they were struggling from mental health problems, that that might be taken into account in future career, or it might demonstrate that actually, they're not strong enough to be a doctor. lauren did seek help, and was advised to sign up with a gp. the nhs practitioner health service has supported thousands of doctors in london over the last 11 years. this month, it has been extended across england to cope with demand. its medical director is a government advisor. every year, if we compare it with the last year, we have had 100% more patients, so we are doing something to these

wonderful young people, and i think what we are doing to them is not showing them kindness and compassion, and we are treating them as if they don't matter. one doctor every three weeks takes their own life in england. currently, the nhs is struggling with record demand and a shortage of 10,000 medics. do you accept that understaffing has put more pressure onjunior doctors? yes, of course i do, and i see it in hospitals. and we are hiring more doctors, partly because of the pressures on them. and i want to make sure that everybody who goes into work as a doctor gets the support they need but also, people you know, when they sign up to become a doctor in the first place, they are signing up to work and give their working life to the care of others,

and we need to care for them. dr lauren phillips‘ body has never been found. i don't have anywhere to go to grieve for lauren. i can't sit beside a grave. but this has to be a more beautiful place to be and to think about lauren. marie ashby reporting — and you can see more on that story on inside out, south west, at 07.30 on monday and later, on the bbc iplayer. you're watching breakfast from bbc news, time now for a look at the newspapers. let's look at the front pages. "the house of fools" is the headline in the mail on sunday, referring to the decision made in the commons yesterday to approve the letwin ammendment and further delay brexit. the telegraph reports on borisjohnson's decision not to sign the letter sent to eu leaders asking for a further delay to when we leave the eu. it also refers to another letter the prime minister has sent to donald tusk in which he says

a futher delay would be "deeply corrosive." the observer says mrjohnson could face "fresh court action"after rejecting a delay to brexit — it also features a photo of crowds of pro—eu protestors in westminster yesterday. and the sunday mirror refers to saturday's commons drama with one word — humiliated — saying there are new doubts over whether the prime minister will get his deal approved. tom harwood, reporter with the westminster news and gossip wesbite guido fawkes, is here to tell us what's caught his eye. totally enmeshed in all of the politics at westminster at the moment. the letwin amendment, a brief reminder of what it is, and also, here is a politician and some mps who are prepared to back boris johnson, but not if the threat of no

deal is still lingering. that is what it comes down to? as well as the fact with any newspaper who can dredge out an embarrassing photo, this is oliver letwin in a... a toga, before a debate into thousand and one but this piece is about how oliver letwin has been branded by many in numberio oliver letwin has been branded by many in number 10 as the useful idiot of the remain campaign. they are saying he did not actually draft his amendment, it was written by lord pannick, the qc working for gina miller in her case, a big remainer who has redrafted legislation and used oliver letwin as the face of it to get through parliament. from his perspective, he has kind of got what he wanted, at least up to now? it is curious, oliver letwin is saying he supports the deal that his amendment did not signal support for the deal. what numberio were signal support for the deal. what number 10 were trying to do yesterday was get him to amend his amendment to say yes, we will take a

no deal off the table but also approve the deal and he would not do that. he was phoning lord pannick from within number 10 and really taking instructions from these quite hard—core... taking instructions from these quite hard-core. .. that is one account. in the sunday times. i'm sure he would put it quite differently if he were here himself! but it brings us back to the point that it could potentially be helpful for the prime minister. there are a few potential labour mps minister. there are a few potential labourmps and minister. there are a few potential labour mps and some conservative mps who would back a borisjohnson deal but this removes the threat of no deal, they may be more inclined to support the legislation? the prime minister would always say it is a choice between this deal or no deal which is likely to bring a remain heavy house of commons on side to support a deal to get this over and done with. let's draw a discreet veilfor 30 done with. let's draw a discreet veil for 30 seconds over brexit, this story and an arresting image from the observer, pardon the pun. extinction rebellion, and the essence of this is the business with

any sort of campaign, whatever the topic, the extent to which you take the public with you. there was a moment with protesters getting on a tube train in london. this was at canning town station, protesters, commuters trying to get to work in the morning were halted by quite harsh climate change protesters. they were dragged down in heroic scenes that got millions of views on social media and this story in the observer is about the fact extinction rebellion say that perhaps they have used the wrong tactics, going after the wrong people and are rolling back slightly on what was universally received as a low moment for protesters. there was one moment when one of the climate change protesters that stood up climate change protesters that stood up on climate change protesters that stood up on one climate change protesters that stood up on one of the trains kicked someone up on one of the trains kicked someone in the face who was trying to drag them down. what is sad about this was that police were standing by, commuters felt like they had to ta ke by, commuters felt like they had to take it into their own hands so they

could get to work. it was ugly on the part of the people involved in that. what is depressing, when you stand back and look at this, the public anger surrounding this, and people are emboldened to express that. saw it in the marches at westminster yesterday. this is a short piece, we don't want to show a picture ofjacob short piece, we don't want to show a picture of jacob rees—mogg's short piece, we don't want to show a picture ofjacob rees—mogg's sun. —— jacob rees—mogg's sun. childcare issues, it isn't unreasonable to ta ke issues, it isn't unreasonable to take your son. jo swinson had hers as well. there was a lot of shouting and aggression from some protesters, which we can see on our screens. and aggression from some protesters, which we can see on our screensm was violent, i was behind jacob rees—mogg leaving parliament yesterday and the abuse was incredible. there was such loud and violent language. incredible. there was such loud and viole nt language. they incredible. there was such loud and violent language. they followed him right from westminster to his street, the police had to blockade it to stop people going right up to his front door. intimidating and nasty behaviour. a minority were out

overall but it was intriguing, they we re overall but it was intriguing, they were going after people on the full range of the spectrum concerning brexit, not just range of the spectrum concerning brexit, notjustjacob range of the spectrum concerning brexit, not just jacob rees—mogg, range of the spectrum concerning brexit, notjustjacob rees—mogg, a passionate advocate for brexit, but others making argument? the temperature has risen to an extent where people are incredibly frustrated and angry and the best thing we need to do to let out all of that tension and heat is to get this sorted this week. that is one way of looking at it. we always appreciate and value your input, thank you for your time. and a quick one, keeping half and i on wales and france in the rugby world cup. they made a blistering start, 12 points up, they have scored two tries so far already. wales will need to come back on that but they will, and they can, for sure! the headlines next.

hello, this is breakfast with chris mason and rachel burden. here's a summary of this morning's main news. borisjohnson has responded to his brexit setback by sending a letter to the eu, asking for an extension to the uk's withdrawal date — but he's refused to sign the document. the prime minister did send a second letter warning against any further delay. mrjohnson was legally obliged to ask for an extension, after mps voted yesterday to withhold approval of his brexit deal until all the necessary legislation was in place. earlier on breakfast, vice—president of the european parliament, mairead mcguinness, told us there was still time to get the deal done.

there is no urgency or mike to decide now on another date, another exit date, and there is time even until the very close margin of october 31 for europe to say, perhaps we need a technical extension. as i listen to commentators and politicians here, again there are divisions. clearly the british prime minister does not wa nt the british prime minister does not wantan the british prime minister does not want an extension. that was absolutely very clear. but i am still minded to be calm because there is another week of politics in there is another week of politics in the house of commons, in the european parliament and eu leaders. let's get some more reaction from brussels and our reporter adam fleming. how have yesterday's events in london gone down there? does it matter this letter didn't have boris johnson's does it matter this letter didn't have borisjohnson's on it? does it matter this letter didn't have boris johnson's on it? no, not onejot. it have boris johnson's on it? no, not one jot. it probably matters at home where you are for the domestic politics and borisjohnson's ego but

it doesn't matter here. this is a process driven city and this has kick started the process. it is not a process getting off to every quick start. donald tusk, the president of the european council who would have to chair the meeting of eu leaders to chair the meeting of eu leaders to agree an extension, has said he will spend the next few days consulting with other eu leaders. i think that is to give them a bit of space, to let the politics unfold in london, because if there is a meaningful vote on monday or tuesday in parliament and of the deal is approved and the process of starting legislation being implemented goes quite smoothly, then the eu may not even have to consider having an extension request. however, if everything goes wrong at westminster, the deal is not approved, there is a hold—up with passing the law is needed to make brexit happen, i suspect eu leaders will be here potentially a week today on sunday, the other day that is mooted is a week on tuesday, to have that emergency summit that

would extend the brexited process for a third time. nobody is particularly enthusiastic about doing that. but if it has to happen, i think they would probably say yes. i love the line about a process driven city. it speaks to the politics of now. nice to chat to you. cheers. hong kong's anti—government protest leaders want to see a big turnout in planned marches today, despite the risk of arrest. police have declared the protest illegal, citing concerns over public safety. thousands of people took part in a peaceful vigil yesterday. the protest is organised by the civil human rights front. its leaderjimmy sham was attacked by men with hammers in hong kong on wednesday. three people are dead after riots in chile's capital santiago. a state of emergency has been declared in places where violent protests are continuing. the demonstrations began in response to a planned rise in metro fares. they have since spread to other cities, despite presidential promises to suspend the price increase.

that is the news. straight to the sport. and as we have mentioned, we are keeping an eye on wales against france in the studio. i don't think you have been com pletely i don't think you have been completely focused for the last few minutes! if the game carries on like this it is going to be really entertaining. wales looking to get through to their third world cup semifinal. france beat them 80 years ago. france came out absolutely flying. two tries inside the first ten minutes, both from forwards. aran wainwright has just come back for wales. 12—7 to the french at the moment. we will keep an eye on that. the last of the quarterfinals is later this morning, hosts japan against two—time champions south africa. japan famously beat the springboks in a pool match at the last world cup. andy swiss is at the match in tokyo. japan have really been the story of the tournament so far. this is the first time they have ever reached

the quarterfinals. there are wins over ireland and scotland have ca ptu red over ireland and scotland have captured the imagination injapan. more than half the country watched the scotland game on television. that is more than 60 million people, which is an amazing feat when you bearin which is an amazing feat when you bear in mind rugby is not traditionally one of the biggest sports here in japan. traditionally one of the biggest sports here injapan. that said, south africa will be a big step up for them. they have looked ominous in the group stages. they have scored more points and more tries than any other team. some other world cup news. michael cheika has stood down as australia's head coach following yesterday's heavy defeat to england in their quarterfinal. his contract was due to expire at the end of the year anyway. that england win set up a mouth—watering semifinal against new zealand next weekend. the reigning champions thrashed ireland, but speaking this morning, england head coach eddiejones thinks they reigning champions are beatable.

the all blacks are a great side. they have got a good leadership team, they are well coached. if you give them the sort of ball they want, they are hard to defend against. like any team they have got weaknesses. are they beatable? every tea m weaknesses. are they beatable? every team is beatable. nobody has a 100% record in test rugby. nobody wins every grand slam 6—0, 6—0. every tea m every grand slam 6—0, 6—0. every team has weakness. manchester city narrowed the gap on premier league leaders liverpool with a 2—0 victory at crystal palace. city's goals came from gabrieljesus and david silva. city are five points behind liverpool and have played a game more. deli alli rescued a point for out of form tottenham at home to bottom club watford. the video assistant referee reviewed the late equaliser with a hint of handball. it was allowed. however, the big screens at the stadium said no goal. the team who run var apologised for the confusion. it was definitely 1—1.

just that one game in the premier league today, but what a game it is — manchester united hosting leaders liverpool at old trafford. united will be desperate for a win. their worst start to a season in more than 30 years. liverpool looking to maintain their perfect start to the season and make it nine wins out of nine. commentary on bbc radio five live. this afternoon, andy murray will play in his first singles final on tour for two and a half years. he's in antwerp at the european open, he beat the frenchman, ugo humbert, in three sets in the semi—finals. the three time grand slam champion is currently ranked number 2113 in the world after a long lay—off following major hip surgery. he'll play stan wawrinka in today's final. we will keep an eye on that one as

well. more than one eye on the by. wales have scored a penalty. so 12-10 to wales have scored a penalty. so 12—10 to france. very tight. cheers. an fa cup tie was abandoned after haringey borough's manager took his tea m haringey borough's manager took his team off the field over allegations of racism and spitting from visiting yeovil fans. the football association is investigating. it comes days after the england game in bulgaria was stopped twice because of racist abuse. haringey‘s manager, tom loizou joins us on the phone now. when england play the game in bulgaria people in bulgaria were saying, you have got a problem by calm, so don't point the finger at us. calm, so don't point the finger at us. tate seems to have been born out of this weekend, doesn't it? yes, definitely has. it is unbelievable

what has happened in bulgaria and in north london. it's disgusting behaviour by a minority. again. was that in your mind, tom, the fact that in your mind, tom, the fact that the england players did walk off the pitch in sofia when you decided to take strong action? look, i have full support for the england side and gareth southgate. what you have got to understand the two differences between england and my football club, england were regulated by rules. and i'm pretty sure if there wasn't they would have done exactly the same as what i did with my football team yesterday afternoon. just tell us what happened exactly? have you encountered anything on this level before? i have. i have. i have been in football for a long time. but i suppose not at this level. things

have happened in the past but because we are a small non—league side, nobody takes any notice of us. no matter how many times we have complained and moaned about it, nothing has happened. it wasn't on my mind because we are playing in the fa cup, let's make the team makes headlines. what made me pull my football team off was the lock on the faces of of my players. they we re the faces of of my players. they were disturbed, they were frightened. and i had to make the decision off my own back. we are just going to have to live with that decision whether it was the right or wrong thing to do. it does look like you have received widespread support. we should also mention there were incidents involving fans from northampton, ithink, overthe weekend, bristol city fans as well. this was not an isolated incident. i know that yeovil town, their manager and players also supported your decision to walk off the pitch. how

important was that to you? that was very important to me. and all credit to the manager and the yeovil football team. may i say the majority of the yeovil town supporters. they left the ground because they didn't want to be associated with the minority behaviour. it was fantastic to see that. thank you very much for your time. iam that. thank you very much for your time. i am sorry we have to talk about such concerning matters but we appreciate you talking to us. thank you very much. the manager of haringey borough. the fa have said they are going to look into the incident as a matter of urgency. they say they are deeply concerned about it and there is no room for discrimination in our game. they are working with match officials and will take appropriate steps. there's lots to discuss after events in westminster yesterday, and possibly tomorrow. let's see what two seasoned parliamentary hacks make of it all. kevin maguire, associate editor at the daily mirror. and andrew pierce, consultant

editor at the daily mail. he is dick! i am a dom. morning. always the easiest question to ask about brexit, what is happening next? what will happen now is tomorrow borisjohnson next? what will happen now is tomorrow boris johnson wants a second vote for mp5. he doesn't want a second vote for the people. he doesn't want the public to have a second vote but he wants one for mp5 to try to overturn effectively his saturday shambles and his humiliating defeat. he is still in a difficult area. he has had to send the letter he said he would never sound. he has had to seek the extension after losing his extension rebellion. and try to get his legislation through. brexit may well yet happen but he has now created a big enemy in northern ireland's ten

mps, the dup. that would be very difficult for him. it will make it a lot harder. everything is in the air. maguire keeps going on about a second referendum. what is the point about a second referendum? they have ignored the first one. why do we need a second one? we have had a referendum. what is the point of a second referendum ? referendum. what is the point of a second referendum? ithink referendum. what is the point of a second referendum? i think what will happen this week is borisjohnson's withdrawal deal will be put to mps andi withdrawal deal will be put to mps and i actually think you will get it over the line. that will be an amazing achievement. people like rory stewart, who was a tory leadership contender, said he would go down and bended knee if boris johnson came up with a new deal. he has got one. we should give him credit. it is notjust about embarrassing a tory leader. it is about trying to get the will of the people done, which is brighter. despite this setback yesterday, oliver letwin, who we know wants to stop brexit, he wants to stop it not delay it, i still think we are

closer than we were. people just wa nt to closer than we were. people just want to see this over the line. yes, there is a big discussion to, better future arrangement. but people are fed up with the likes of us three co nsta ntly fed up with the likes of us three constantly banging the same drum.|j am fed up, i frustrated too. it wasn't anything to do with people like me. people watching will know that borisjohnson's like me. people watching will know that boris johnson's deal, like me. people watching will know that borisjohnson's deal, which is worse than theresa may's deal, is nothing like what was promised three years ago. where is your £350 million a week for the nhs? where are all those easy to get a trade deals? they are just not there. if he is so convinced that his brexit is going to help the country, and of course there are no treasury economic assessments published because we know they will be negative and they will make us poorer, but if you are so convinced by it, put it to the people. this is

the reality. tory boy here is frightened because he knows, he knows what is promised now bears no relation to three years ago. moraine mcguinness, the irish mep, called for serenity and then we invited you to grind! actually if there was a second public vote, i think that my side would win it with a bigger margin. a poll last week showed 54% of people wanted done. let's just get on with it. let the prime minister's deal be put to the house of commons this week. the eu are fed up of commons this week. the eu are fed up with it. they are fed up with people like him who won't accept the deal. a short extension is all we need. maybe a week or two. let's get on with making the country poorer, weaker, employment rights... let me plea for a brief outbreak of brevity. as opposed to what you want

to happen, what you think will happen? starting with you, andrew. with the prime minister to be able to deliver brexit by a week on thursday? i think you will get his vote across the line. i think the withdrawal deal will be approved by the house of commons. that is an amazing achievement. whether he can get it done by the 31st, i think it will be very close because he needs to get a lot of legal stuff through. it may require a short extension. it should be no more than a week. do or die, die in a ditch? he won't do. you are a tory boy. you are the most partisan person! you call yourself tory boy on twitter. thank you, gents. appreciated. thank you both. nice to see you. they could go on a national tour, those two. they really could. this is what happens when you come to sit on the sofa. this is where we say goodbye to chris. he will be back on bbc one

with andrew marr. before that, the weather. are they cumulus clouds? yes, you are right. we have got fine weather on the way today. most of us at least. some sunshine. the chance ofa at least. some sunshine. the chance of a shower or two in the north and east. that is pretty much it. this is what it looks like this afternoon. showers around newcastle, may be some in edinburgh. further west and south looking fine. a nip in the air. a chilly start to the day. temperatures were close to freezing in some areas. tonight we are watching this area of cloud reaching the south east. that means the focus in the morning in london, could be done, could be raining. milder at 10 degrees. in scotland we have got some clues. a touch of frost. the weather is settling down for the start of the working week. high pressure is building in off the

atlantic. that means that we will have predominantly dry weather, apart from that little south—eastern corner. that should clear out of the way come the afternoon. for most of us, munger is looking absolutely fine. scattered cloud. temperatures around 12 degrees. thank you. have a lovely sunday. during their ten day tour of southern africa last month, the duke and duchess of sussex celebrated the continent's people and culture. it was also their first official overseas trip with their four month—old son, archie. it was a tour we can see more of in an itv documentary tonight. let's take a look. for meghan this has been quite some year. she has a new husband, new country, newjob, new family, new life, new baby.

so, in part, this colourful, vibrant tour was a chance for her to focus on the work she wants to do. like here, in nyanga, where a charity called thejustice desk, supported by the queen's commonwealth trust, is teaching women how literally to fight back against endemic violence. oh my goodness, it's the most inspiring. we just got here and to see everything that they are doing. but also that it's not just the girls feeling empowered, it's the role of the man and the young boys who are also helping them. joining us now is the royal historian and commentator victoria howard. do you think in general terms that it was a great success? it was. they highlighted some amazing causes close to their hearts. gender

equality, or inequality, hiv aids, which is something harry has championed, and of course landmines, which was some of diana's work. the end of the tour was slightly overshadowed by the lawsuits they we re overshadowed by the lawsuits they were pursuing. yeah. it was a curious decision to take to put that out right at the end of the tour. there had been so much positive press coverage around the kind of people that they spoke to, the courses they were talking about. but thenit courses they were talking about. but then it seemed almost like they immediately got themselves back in a battle with the media? yeah, and of course the media were happy to highlight these causes. so it was a slightly strange timing. it seems like they did it from a position of strength. we are in this position, people are listening, let's tell them what is actually going on.|j people are listening, let's tell them what is actually going on. i am interested to know how the public react to this. they do bare their souls in this documentary. we can see a clip of meghan talking about

the impact of motherhood. any woman when they are pregnant, you are really vulnerable. that was made really vulnerable. that was made really challenging. and then when you have a newborn, you know...m isa you have a newborn, you know...m is a long time ago but i remember. and especially as a woman, it's a lot. you add this on top ofjust trying to be a new mum or a newlywed, it's... and also, thank you for asking. not many people have askedif you for asking. not many people have asked if i am 0k. it's a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes. and the answer is, would it be fairto scenes. and the answer is, would it be fair to say, not really ok? it's really been a struggle? yes. for people who support them in their cars, it's quite emotionally, you know, putting it out there. it is

very touching. there will be others who say, look, you are in a very uniquely privileged position, you have a whole army of support around you, but that doesn't necessarily count of the five you can still feel valour —— very isolated when you have got the gaze of the world on you? absolutely. some people say meghan was an actress before she was married to harry, so she should have been used to this and known what was expected. it has been so intense for them as a couple, i think it probably came as a bit of a shock. you can understand why this must have been quite emotional for them. you can hear it in her voice in that clip. we have seen that from harry as well. let's remind ourselves of that. this is harry talking about the impact of parenthood on him. last year when my wife and i attended, we knew we were expecting

our first child. no one else did at the time but we did. and i remember... applause. i think it isjust a more i think it is just a more emotional individuals and perhaps his brother, isn't it? i think so. individuals and perhaps his brother, isn't it? ithink so. it is reflected in their personalities. william has always been more shy, more reserved. harry has always been more reserved. harry has always been more open about things like that. we have had recent interviews with him expressing his difficulties with his own mental health. this isjust another step in that. i am sure a lot of people would agree that when you become a parent you react more emotionally like that. many people will relate to him talking about inspirational children with limiting

illnesses and reflecting on your own family. victoria. thank you very much for coming in. harry & meghan: an africanjourney is on itv tonight at 9pm. there was a salsa that was "off the chart", a near—perfect foxtrot, and a standing ovation. but it was mike and guestjudge alfonso ribeiro who stole the show, rolling back the years to the days of fresh prince of bel air. let's look back at week five of strictly. it is the samba. our returning guest judge, alphonso, danced to this song in the fresh prince of bel air and it became an iconic scene. music.

let's do it together at one time. cheering. i think it was an amazing crowd pleaser —— pleaser. i think it was an amazing crowd pleaser -- pleaser. i recoiled in horror, darling. you made me need therapy. honestly. let's chat now to heidi stephens from the guardian. thank you so much. looking back at that from my, is it surprisingly got a seven from alfonso ribeiro?” think so. what it lacked in some content and more than made up for in

enthusiasm. but that does not win strictly, unfortunately.” enthusiasm. but that does not win strictly, unfortunately. ijust wonder if his entertainment value will be enough to see him through next week? i hope so. i think it could be. i'd love to see mike in hollowing. i think he really needs to get more dance content in there if he is going to go any further. to get more dance content in there if he is going to go any furtherlj was impressed by your technical knowledge in your blog last night. you have either had some experience of this in your past or you have been watching strictly for far too long?! i have no experience. i have been a fan of strictly for ten yea rs. been a fan of strictly for ten years. iam been a fan of strictly for ten years. i am starting to spot some of the details. that is why so many people identify with someone like mike because we all feel like we dance like that. that is where maybe he will get his support from. but the standard of dancing this year, it feels like we say it every year, but it really does feel like it is on another level. we had a town last night. the first alphonso town for saffron. again, a fantastic

performance from karim. it is a great show. my favourite thing this year is just how we are seeing some of these dancers develop and some of them get better every week. and viscountess emma had another beautiful dance with the viennese wa ltz. beautiful dance with the viennese waltz. she was in the dance—off last week. we were having a discussion in our house about whether there is a sense of it because she comes from a position of privilege, again she doesn't need our vote. is that of the case? no, i think everybody needs the votes this year. we saw that with dave leaving the show last week. emma weymouth is a beautiful, elegant dancer. she struggles more with the latin. as the weeks go on i think that is where she needs to improve. she did an amazing viennese wa ltz improve. she did an amazing viennese waltz last night. thank you for joining us this morning, heidi. and you can find out who will be sashaying off

into the sunset on the strictly results show tonight at 7:15 on bbc one. that's it from us. dan and nie tao here in the morning. bye—bye.

this is bbc news, i'm ben brown. the headlines at nine: borisjohnson has sent the eu an unsigned letter, requesting a brexit extension, and a signed one saying a delay would be a mistake. labour accuse the prime minister of acting like a spoilt brat... not signing the letter? he is behaving a bit like a spoiled brat. parliament made a decision, he should abide by it and the idea that you send another letter contradicting the first? it flies in the face of what parliament and the courts have decided. the european council president, donald tusk, says he will now consult other eu leaders about how to respond to the british request for an extension. the mother of a junior doctor — who took her own life two years ago
