on the government's brexit deal hit in recent years when it comes before the commons. by political instability. the sarcophagi will undergo here's our deputy political restoration before being moved editorjohn pienaar. to a showroom at the grand egyptian they don't seem to know when they're beaten, even when they've been defeated. museum, due to open next year. senior ministers marched into tv studios today with a defiant message. they will deliver brexit on time, by october the 31st, and being forced to send a request the longest non—stop commerical passenger flight has landed to brussels seeking another brexit successfully in sydney. delay wouldn't stop them. the qantas plane tookjust over 19 hours to fly direct from new york. the game changer this week, the airline is considering whether to begin regular nonstop which we've hardly talked about, flights between the cities and it's is that he has defied the doubters, enlisted the help of university researchers to find out how such got a deal, and notwithstanding the shenanigans in parliament, a long flights affect passengers and crew. we now appear to have the numbers to get this through. the only question is, why aren't we getting on with it? the ayes to the right, 322, alanjoyce is the ceo of qantas. the noes to the left, 306. this is part of project sunrise and the first of three test flights what he called parliamentary that is going to come up shenanigans, others called an embarrassing defeat yesterday. with recommendations of how we manage pilot fatigue, how we actually manage passengerjet lag, and after 19 hours that vote forced the prime minister on the flight, i think we've gotten this right. to send a letter to brussels seeking to extend brexit for as long as it takes to pass his deal into law and avoid a no—deal exit
10:03 pm
on october the 31st. the pm didn't like it and didn't sign it. the papers are coming his opponents aren't impressed. up with henry mance and benedicte paviot in a few the law is very clear. minutes — but first, time for a look at the weather with nick miller. hello there. he should have signed one letter some quieter weather in accordance with the law. he's being childlike. on the way to start the week. something we haven't seen tomorrow, the speakerjohn bercow for a while, an area of high will decide whether ministers can pressure builds in across the uk, and for most it will try again to win the vote mean a dry monday. but this area of low pressure they lost yesterday. will spoil things towards parts but either way, this week of southeast england, the commons will debate the detailed as we'll see in a moment, legislation that's also needed with some rain heading in. to pass a deal. later in the night, we'll see some outbreaks of rain now labour looks like pushing pushing in towards kent. for another brexit referendum. lots of cloud across england and wales, a northeasterly breeze, we need an amendment to say that a few showers still, whatever deal gets through, so temperatures hotting up here. lighter winds, clearer skies it should be subject to a referendum in northern ireland and scotland allow temperatures to dip away. where that deal is put to the public and they are asked, do you want to leave on these terms, or would you rather remain in the eu? so next week is going to be busy. in rural aberdeenshire could be down to minus two or minus three degrees celsius as we start the day tomorrow. today, the minister although cloud is going to increase from the west, it'll be a fine day for brexit preparations chaired across much of scotland and northern ireland. some rain heading towards a planning session and conceded that extending brexit the northern isles late in the day. or refusing to is up to the eu. remember that area of low pressure? east anglia, south east england, it means we are triggering operation yellowhammer, the chance of seeing some rain,
10:04 pm
preparing to ensure that if no especially the further east you are, some heavier bursts into kent extension is granted — and we cannot guarantee that it will be — and essex, for example, maybe coastal suffolk. and as for the temperatures, well, that we have done everything possible to prepare most of the places will see some sunny spells developing, and we'll be around to leave without a deal. ten to 1a degrees. now, a cooler night in england and wales monday night the architect of the government's and into tuesday with a few fog defeat yesterday, the mp who drew up patches developing in places, parts of the midlands the request to extend, and southern england. they could be slow to clear, can't see the eu saying no. and perhaps dense in a few spots, because winds are light here, and into tuesday high my own gut instinct has been pressure is holding on, all the way along that low pressure getting closer to northern scotland on tuesday if we got to the end, morning, so more cloud we were going to crash out here and some outbreaks of rain. otherwise, and we made but for most of us it's looking dry, a request for an extension, very probably the eu and after any of that fog clears from england of wales, we'll see some sunny spells would say, have an extension. developing, so for the most part tuesday is looking like another fine eu leaders are now watching to see day, and actually temperatures are how the political struggle starting to creep up a degree or so. at westminster plays out. they want brexit settled, now as we go on through the rest like everyone else, but they'lljust have to wait, of the week, low pressure does get like the rest of us. closer to us and starts to feed in, john pienaar, bbc news. our europe editor, especially across parts of scotland and northern ireland. it's only wetter katya adler, is in brussels. for some of us here. and there's another weak weather front heading towards east anglia they have received these two letters and the south east on wednesday, it may produce a few showers. from borisjohnson. they have received these two letters from boris johnson. what they have received these two letters from borisjohnson. what now? so two things going on on wednesday, they have received these two letters from boris johnson. what now? well, in between there's a slice that's right, i think we will watch of sunnier weather and as for those temperatures, again
10:05 pm
mid to low teens. eu leaders move in very slow motion, so some quieter weather around to start the week, clive. the letters did arrive in but from midweek in scotland and northern ireland expect brussels, to donald tusk, the the wind to pick up, and you will be seeing some president of the european council. he has said he is now going to start rain at times. for england and wales, we'll get to see the quieter face of autumn. consultations with eu leaders, he says. but the reality is that all of it's not going to be dry all week, but it's going to be those eu leaders are stopped still, drier than it's been. but remember there'll be a few fog they are watching and waiting to see events unfold in westminster, because whatever happens in patches around at times. parliament over the next few days, it could affect what kind of extension, if any, it could affect what kind of extension, ifany, eu it could affect what kind of extension, if any, eu leaders grant. for example, boris johnson promised those eu leaders that their new lead negotiated brexit deal would be approved by the majority of mps. if he is proved right, maybe we don't need an extension, think eu leaders, or possibly just need an extension, think eu leaders, or possiblyjust a short want need an extension, think eu leaders, or possibly just a short want to need an extension, think eu leaders, or possiblyjust a short want to tie up or possiblyjust a short want to tie up legislation. but if he's wrong, and mps reject this new deal, or if there is a call for a general election, a longer extension would be needed. clive, there is such a stark contrast here in the eu to the times of theresa may, when she wa nted times of theresa may, when she wanted an extension. because then you still had leaders leaders like
10:06 pm
president merkel, who thought, maybe if we give a longer extension, may be the uk will change its mind and choose to stay in the eu thinks it is stronger with the uk on the inside. but now, the main concern for angela merkel, who thought, maybe if we give a longer extension, maybe if we give a longer extension, maybe the uk will change its mind and choose to stay in the eu? the eu thinks it is stronger with the uk on the inside. but now, the main concern for it behind them, they have sailed too close to the possibility of no—deal brexit of late, so they want mps to vote in favour of this deal so the uk and the eu can go forward now. katya adler, in brussels. john pienaar is here. lots of focus on the speaker of the commons, john bercow, in this whole process ? commons, john bercow, in this whole process? that could be a big moment tomorrow, clive. today, senior minister saying whatever happens they will take the country out of they will take the country out of the european union on time before october the 31st. that is partly about sending a message to brexit supporters that their party, boris johnson, they are the true
10:07 pm
heavyweight champions of brexit. it is also about an act of faith. if they are nothing else, they are fully paid up members of the brexit faithful. but there is a big moment tomorrow when they could need that faith. becausejohn virgo, the speaker of the house, will have to decide and make a decision about whether to allow a rerun of yesterday's debate and vote, and the government lost that vote. from all iam hearing, government lost that vote. from all i am hearing, the smart money at westminster tonight is thatjohn virgo will say no and denied that request, which will cause something ofa request, which will cause something of a reaction. —— john request, which will cause something of a reaction. ——john bercow. it kicks forward on another big vote, on brexit. it looks like a gruelling vote for the government, big arguments on a referendum, may be a big one for the european union, when it comes to customs rules, gruelling stuff. maybe as gruelling as it has been for so many people, watching
10:08 pm
the story, watching this saga unfold over the last 1213 days. a double murder investigation is underway in milton keynes after two 17—year—old boys were stabbed to death late last night. police and paramedics were called to a house in the emerson valley area, just before midnight. the teenagers have been named locally as dom ansah and ben gillham—rice. katy austin reports. forensic investigators gathered evidence today at a crime scene that started as a party for friends. on the front door of this house, a visible reminder of the violence that unfolded. police in the ambulance service were called to archford croft, a residential street, just before midnight last night, after reports there'd been a stabbing. the two teenagers have been named locally as ben gillham—rice and dom ansah. his cousins came to the scene to lay flowers and said many people's hearts had been broken by his killing.
10:09 pm
two other people, a 17—year—old and a 23—year—old man, were seriously injured. today, neighbours expressed their disbelief at the loss of life. i've not seen such a scene, until today. and it was just a shock and a blow to us, for such young people. when we moved here, five months ago, the lady said it was quiet. she'd lived here for quite a while. just on our doorstep, it's quite scary. a double murder investigation has been launched by thames valley police. i fully appreciate the concern that this will cause in the local community and beyond. but at this early stage i believe the people directly involved in this incident are all likely to have known each other. no arrests have been made at this stage. the families of the teenagers who died are being supported by specialist officers, as they deal with the devastating impact of knife crime. katy austin, bbc news. after two weeks of relative calm in hong kong, hundreds of pro—democracy protesters have
10:10 pm
clashed with police firing tear gas and water cannon. shops, banks and metro stations have been vandalised. mass protests began back injune against proposals to allow extradition to mainland china. critics worried the move would undermine hong kong's autonomy. the city's chief executive put the plans on hold but the protests developed into wider demonstrations forfull democracy and an inquiry into alleged police brutality. last month the extradition bill was finally withdrawn but protestors continue to march, despite restrictions. our south east asia correspondent, nick beake, has the latest from hong kong. they were told they weren't allowed to march today. they were threatened with prison if they wore a mask. and they were warned by china's leader there would be broken bones for those who try to break up his country. but this is a pro—democracy movement that believes the world is on its side
10:11 pm
and it's not backing down. we are here to fight for freedom and we are not scared about the chinese communist party. we want our freedom and human rights. but once again, peaceful protest gave way to petrol bombs, with police stations under attack. this is what eventually cleared the hardcore activists, who then rampaged through the streets, targeting chinese businesses. they fought the police late into the night. for a 20th consecutive weekend of unrest here in hong kong, the police are really struggling to control the streets here. they brought out the water cannon. the protesters are not going home. the question is the one we've been asking forfive months now. when does this end? how does this end? hong kong's government claims a housing crisis has unleashed
10:12 pm
this cycle of violence, but these protesters say it's their deep fear of the type of place they'll be living in under greater chinese control, which means they won't be giving up. nick beake, bbc news, hong kong. kurdish forces in syria say they've pulled out of a key strategic town in the north of the country after a temporary truce put an end to fierce fighting. turkey says it is attempting to create a 20—mile ‘safe zone' in areas of kurdish control after president trump pulled us troops out of the area along with huge numbers of fleeing civilians. kurdish fighters are now reported to have left ras al—ain on the syrian side of the border. our correspondent, aleem maqbool, is in northern syria and sent this report. souad mohammed is numb. she's been that way since seeing in the morgue the mutilated body of her daughter. the brutal killing of havrin khalaf, a kurdish politician,
10:13 pm
by turkish backed militants, is now being investigated as a war crime. "i feel i want to burn down this home", she tells me, "because the memories of my daughter are everywhere, and it's too hard to bear. her whole life is playing like a movie in my mind." she told me she blamed turkey and america for her loss. it was the announcement of the withdrawal of these american troops from northern syria that precipitated this crisis and, in effect, gave turkey the green light to invade. that us withdrawal is now very much in motion, a sorry end to what had been an effective partnership that won back all the territory controlled by the islamic state group. kurdish forces lost thousands
10:14 pm
of fighters in that campaign. now, some of the same combatants who survived the long battle against is are dying at the hands of turkey. i think we managed to defeat isis all over north and east syria. and it was not something easy. and i think what is happening now is a betrayal for the sacrifices that they have gave and they provided for the security and stability of the area. for all the talk of ceasefires on the front line and diplomacy, people here are still very much in shock atjust how quickly their lives were turned upside down. and those we speak to tell us they have very little faith that the world will come to help relieve their suffering. so, instead, they continue to flee for their lives in huge numbers.
10:15 pm
camps for the displaced near the iraq—syria border, that were all but emptied, are full again. some families here told us they didn't leave their homes in the days of is, but felt compelled to now. they're afraid of meeting the same fate as havrin khalaf. when over recent years, so many thousands of kurdish mothers have already had to bury their children. aleem maqbool, bbc news, in north—eastern syria. campaigning for tomorrow's elections in canada has seen the prime minister, justin trudeau, fight a fierce battle to cling onto power. as leader of the liberal party, he took office four years ago but has recently been implicated in a series of scandals that have left him neck—and—neck in the race with the opposition conservative party. our chief international correspondent, lyse doucet, reports from the campaign trail. the big smile, the style that shot a political star into power and onto the world stage.
10:16 pm
but now it's back to basics. justin trudeau, cradling babies as he fights for his political life. why is it so much harderfor you, prime minister trudeau, this time, than it was four years ago? what went wrong for you? i would tend to disagree. four years ago a 79—day campaign was extremely difficult. and campaigns should be difficult. this is an opportunity to get out and speak with as many canadians as possible. his conservative challenger, andrew scheer, calls him a fraud. on the left, the ndp's jagmeet singh is trying to claim trudeau's progressive mantle. the greens also look set to gain. climate change epitomises trudeau's trouble. he approved a new pipeline to move canada's vast oil wealth to this western shore, and offset it with environmental safeguards and a big climate plan.
10:17 pm
but critics say climate champions don't build pipelines. over 200 people were arrested, standing right here. 22—year—old hayley zacks is a leading activist. the under—35s are now the biggest voting block, and some feel let down. i think a lot of us were persuaded byjustin trudeau in the last election. he was young, he was making all of these great promises. he hasn't come through on the promises that we voted him for, for climate action. he said he was a feminist, we haven't seen that in action. trudeau—mania hasn't died. he still draws crowds. supporters ready to forgive, even scandals like the brownface photos which surfaced. everyone deserves a second chance. i know certain things like this can happen. and that's with everyone. i mean, nobody‘s perfect. of course, i don't agree with those things. but i really, really see a better side of him right now. in many ways, this election is a referendum onjustin trudeau. on the world stage, his star
10:18 pm
still shines on issues like gender equality and refugees. here in canada, his brand has taken a beating. the celebrity who once promised a different kind of politics is now battling just to stay in power. trudeau may still prevail, with a much smaller margin and with less magic. in one of the closest races canada has ever seen. lyse doucet, bbc news, montreal. now with all the sport, here's lizzie greenwood—hughes at the bbc sport centre. thanks very much, clive. good evening. wales have reached the semi—finals of the rugby world cup after a dramatic fight—back against france. they won 20—19 in oita, from where our sports editor, dan roan, reports. wales arrived here full of expectation. six nations grand slam winners, unbeaten in japan.
10:19 pm
these days, they are firm favourites in such big games. now they had to live up to that status and extend the farewell of their legendary coach, warren gatland, in this, his last tournament in charge. he won't have enjoyed this though — france starting superbly as first the giant sebastien vahaamahina, and then charles ollivon put them 12—0 up inside eight minutes. which france would turn up? wales needed to respond and, in a frenetic opening, immediately did so. aaron wainwright pouncing and then bursting clear. with officials under pressure to clamp down on high tackles, ross moriarty was always going to pay for this. and, while he was in the sin bin, his team were punished too. virimi vakatawa's try giving the french a nine—point lead at the end of a thrilling half. now france needed to keep their discipline. instead, an act of violence as daft as it was dangerous by vahaamahina. france would play the last half an hour a man down. but, with the final whistle approaching, the ball bubbled loose and moriarty rescued his team. dan biggar‘s conversion edging wales
10:20 pm
ahead for the first time. they'd left it late, they'd ridden their luck but wales had dug deep into their resolve and somehow found a way. a second home nation through to the semifinals. all of wales will be breathing a huge sigh of relief tonight after one of their team's most important and dramatic victories. they were far from their best here but, having found a way to prevail, they will now believe they can reach a first—ever world cup final and give warren gatland's long and successful tenure its defining moment. dan roan, bbc news wales' opponents in the last four will be the two—time world champions, south africa, who knocked out hosts japan 26—3. our correspondent, andy swiss, reports from tokyo. go,japan! they are the hosts who have lit up their very own tournament. japan's first world cup quarterfinal — high emotion and high hopes. four years ago they famously beat south africa, but when makazole mapimpi put
10:21 pm
the springboks ahead, a repeat seemed unlikely. japan's pace and poise were soon causing problems. he is electric. a penalty reduced the gap to 5—3 at the break. they couldn't, could they? in the end, it wasn't to be, as south africa's bruising style reaped its rewards. first faf de klerk and then mapimpi again taking the springboks out of sight and into the last four. while japan's journey may be over, their skill, speed and spirit here will long be remembered. for japan's fans, what a world cup this has been. their team has given them so much to be proud of, but it is south africa into the semifinals. andy swiss, bbc news, tokyo. match of the day and sportscene follow the news, so if you don't want to hear the football results, please avert your attention now. liverpool's 17 match winning run has come to an end. the premier league leaders could only manage a late draw
