gillham—rice this is bbc news. the headlines... the government says it will push ahead with efforts to get a brexit deal through parliament this week. borisjohnson is expected to seek the backing of mps tomorrow or tuesday. he's defied the doubters, got a deal. and we also now, notwithstanding the shenanigans in parliament, appear to have now the numbers to get this through. all this after the prime minister was forced in a letter to ask the eu for another brexit delay. labour says the public should have its say. whatever deal gets through, it should be subject to a referendum where that deal is put to the public. a double murder investigation has

begun in milton keynes after two 17—year—old boys were stabbed to death at a house party late last night. we are doing all we can to gather all the information. we know there were a number of people present at the party last night so officers are deployed and they will be speaking to all the people, trying to piece together exactly what happened. kurdish—led forces in syria say they have left a strategic border town under a truce with turkey. further violence on the streets of hong kong as police fire tear gas at demonstrators marching in defiance of a police ban. 30 wooden coffins of men, women and children, thought to belong to the families of high priests, have been found in egypt. after a nail—biting finish, wales beat france by one point to book a their place in the rugby world cup semi—final. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers, financial times chief feature writer henry mance and the uk correspondent at the french broadcaster france 2a, benedicte paviot.

there are reports tonight that the speaker of the house of commonsjohn bercow is set to rule out a vote on boris johnson's brexit withdrawal deal. the government had been planning to put the agreement before mps for a meaningful vote tomorrow, before more detailed scrutiny of the terms of the deal this week. ministers say they have enough support in the commons to get the deal agreed and insist the uk will leave the european union by october 31st, but labour says it will push for a new referendum on the government's brexit deal. here's our deputy political editor, john pienaar. they don't seem to know when they are beaten, even when they have been defeated. 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 to brussels seeking another brexit delay wouldn't stop them. the game changer this week, which we partly talked about, is that he has defied the doubters, got a deal, and notwithstanding the shenanigans in parliament, 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, the noes to the left, 306. what he called parliamentary shenanigans, others called an embarrassing defeat yesterday. that vote forced the prime minister to send a letter to brussels seeking to extend brexit for as long as it takes to parties deal into law and avoid a no—deal brexit on october the 31st. the prime minister didn't like it and didn't sign it. his opponents aren't impressed. the law is clear. he should have signed one letter in accordance with the law. he is being childlike.

tomorrow, the speaker will decide whether ministers can try again to win the vote they lost yesterday. but either way, the commons will debate the detailed legislation that's also needed to pass a deal. now labour looks like pushing for another brexit referendum. we need an amendment to say that whatever deal gets through, it should be subject to a referendum 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? next week is going to be busy. today, the minister for brexit preparations chador planning sessions and conceded that extending brexit or refusing to is up to the eu. it means we are triggering operation yellowhammer, preparing to ensure that if no extension is granted, and we cannot guarantee that it will be, that we have done everything possible to prepare to leave without a deal.

the architect of the government's defeat yesterday, the mp who drew up the request to extend, can't see the eu saying no. my instinct was that if we got to the end, we were going to crash out otherwise, and we made a request for an extension, very probably, you would say, you will have an extension. eu leaders want to see how the political struggle at westminster plays out. they want brexit settled, but they will just have to wait, like the rest of us. and asjohn has been explaining — ministers are hoping mps will be able to vote on borisjohnson‘s brexit deal as early as tomorrow. it will be a big moment tomorrow and they will need faith becausejohn virgo will have to decide and make a decision on whether to allow a rerun of yesterday's debate and vote the government lost and from all i hear, the smart money at westminster is thatjohn bercow will say no and

deny that request. that will cause a reaction on those who have a problem with the speaker on the brexit site at the best of times. it kicks forward into another big vote on the legislation, the law, to enact brexit and that looks like a gruelling job for the government with big arguments on a referendum, may be a big one on britain's relationship with the eu when it comes to customs, customs rules, gruelling stuff, may be as gruelling as it has been for so many people watching this saga unfold over the last 1213 days. our europe editor, katya adler, sent this update from brussels. the letters did arrive and donald tusk has said he is going to start consultation with eu leaders but the reality is that all those eu leaders are stopped, watching and waiting to

see events unfold at westminster because whatever happens in parliament could affect what kind of extension, if any, parliament could affect what kind of extension, ifany, eu parliament could affect what kind of extension, if any, eu leaders grand. borisjohnson promised those eu leaders that there are newly negotiated brexit deal would be approved by the majority of mps and if he is proven right, maybe we don't need an extension, think the leaders, or perhaps a short one to tie up legislation. but if he is wrong and mps reject the new deal, 01’ wrong and mps reject the new deal, or there is a call for a general election, a longer extension is needed and there is such a stark contrast here in the eu to the times of theresa may wanting an extension because then you still had leaders like president tusk and angela merkel of germany who thought if we give a longer extension to the uk, maybe it will change its mind and choose to stay. if the uk did that and the eu thinks it is stronger with the uk on the inside but the main concern for eu leaders is basically to move on, they want to put the uncertainty behind them, they have sailed too close to the

possibility of a no—deal brexit lately so they would like mps to vote in favour of this deal so the uk and the eu can go forward. katya adler. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10.30pm and 11.30pm this evening in the papers. our guests joining me tonight are the financial times chief feature writer, henry mance, and the uk correspondent at the french broadcaster, france 2a, and president of the foreign press association, benedicte paviot. 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 and 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. 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. there was nothing. 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. kurdish forces in syria say they've pulled out of a key strategic town in the north east after a temporary truce put an end to fierce fighting. turkey says it's attempting to create a 20—mile ‘safe zone' in areas of kurdish control after president trump pulled us troops out of the area. kurdish fighters are now reported to have left ras al—ain on the syrian side of the border along with huge numbers of fleeing civilians. our correspondent, aleem maqbool, has sent us this report, from inside northern syria. 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, 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

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.

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. and over recent years, so many thousands of kurdish mothers have already had to bury their children. aleem maqbool, bbc news, in north—eastern syria. after two weeks of relative calm in hong kong, hundreds of pro—democracy protesters have clashed with police firing tear gas and using 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.

then 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 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 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. the headlines on bbc news... the government says it's determined to press ahead with efforts to approve boris johnson's brexit plan.

a double murder investigation has begun in milton keynes after two 17—year—old boys were stabbed to death at a house party last night. kurdish— led forces in syria say they have left a strategic border town under a truce with turkey. sport and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here's mark edwards. —— with connie. good evening. the line—up for the second semi—final of the rugby world cup is complete. south africa will take on wales next sunday. south africa defeated hosts japan 26—3 whilst wales came from behind to dramatically beat france 20—19. our sports editor, dan roan, was there to watch it. a second home nation is through to the semifinals of the rugby world cup, wales securing a last—gasp, very dramatic victory against their french opponents. it was france who started by far the better, two early tries, wales then responded through aaron wainwright, who scored a try of his own.

at that point, it was anybody‘s, france were 19—10 up at half—time, but then the turning point, early in the second half, sebastien vahaamahina, the giant french lock, elbowed wainwright during a maul on the wales line, there was no need for it, but during the remaining half hour, of course, there were reduced to 1a men. it looks like time was running out, wales struggling to make that advantage count, but in the final reckoning, moriarty it was who popped up to score the decisive try, dan biggar converted to edge wales head for the very first time in the match, and so they are through to a second semifinal in the last three world cups, and they will now believe, having not been at their best but somehow finding a way to prevail, they can go all the way, reaching a first world cup final and give coach warren gatland the defining moment in this,

his final tournament that his long and successful tenure deserves. andy murray has described his victory in the european open as one of the biggest wins of his career. the former world number one broke down in tears after winning his first singles title since career—saving hip surgery. he came from a set and a break down to beat three—time grand slam champion stan wawrinka in three sets. i mean, obviously it means a lot. the last few years have been extremely difficult, both actually me and stan have had a lot of injury problems in the last couple of years, and amazing, obviously, to be back playing against him in a final like that. liverpool now have a six point lead at the top of the premier league after being held to 1—1 draw against manchester united. a late equaliser from adam lallana cancelling out marcus rashford's first half goal at old trafford. hearts have opened

an investigation after claims that rangers striker alfredo morelos was racially abused during their 1—1 draw earlier. the colombian was allegedly targeted as he celebrated his equaliser in front of the hearts supporters at tynecastle. rotaro mishino put hearts ahead afterjust six minutes before morelos equalised later in the first half. the point leaves rangers second in the table, level on points with celtic but behind on goal difference. the player draft‘s been made for the hundred — cricket's inaugral competition which begins next summer. surprisingly, though, west indian batsman chris gayle failed to be picked up but australian ashes pair steve smith and mitchell starc will both play for welsh fire. the league will consist of eight city—based franchise teams, each of which will field both a men's and women's side. england's world cup—winning captain, eoin morgan, will play for london spirit.

the opportunity that this brings is extraordinary, you see the names of the coaches in the room today making the coaches in the room today making the selections, the guys who have been selected and all of those players have put in applications, they are world class. the big opportunity for us is to give it to a young liam lewis, who has not played a lot of international cricket, he is a well—known name by the end of next year. so you will have guys becoming better performers in high—pressure situations simply by playing at some of the best in the world. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. thank you. 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. 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 our 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. 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. trudeaumania 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 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. in egypt, 30 ancient wooden sarcophagi have been put on display following their recent discovery near the nile. the historically significant find of well—preserved and ornately

decorated coffins for men, women and children are around 3,000 years old, as nina nanji reports. it is the biggest find of its kind in more than a century. perfectly preserved mummies discovered in 30 ancient wooden coffins in the valley of the kings — the egyptian city of luxor. the trove was unearthed by a team of egyptian archaeologists on the west bank of the river nile. the coffins date back around 3000 years but despite this they were found in good condition — sealed and intact and adorned with vibrant colours and inscriptions. it is believed to contain the remains of high priests and their families. this will enrich our knowledge about the belief of the afterlife and the workshops that make these beautiful scenes, the colour and the religious scenes. it is for the common people, for a king orfor a priest? and that is why i believe this discovery is very important.

egyptian authorities will be hoping the discovery, along with other finds of ancient relics, will help revive the country's tourism sector — hit in recent years by political instability. the sarcophagi will undergo restoration before being moved to a showroom at the grand egyptian museum, due to open next year. the international kite and wind festival has come to an end above the maltese island of gozo. the three—day event included a competition for more than 20 international teams of professional kite masters. around 2000 kites filled the skies over the three days, some of them heavily engineered, while others entered a competion for the best handmade kites — a local tradition. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick.

the winds will pick up again as we go through the week here but especially across the northern half of the uk. it is going to be quite quiet to start the week, down to something which has not featured much recently — high pressure. there has been lighter winds and low pressure is close by, the south—east of england in particular during monday so it's not going to be quite for everyone. we still have cloud and breeze overnight for england and wales were showers keeping temperatures up but northern ireland and scotland will be chilly, —3 and parts of aberdeenshire to start tomorrow. this is where we see most of the sunshine in scotland and northern ireland, the rain for shetland later with a freshening south—westerly. the north and north—easterly across england and wales were showers on the other area of low pressure getting rain out of that. parts of east anglia and the sarr —— south—east of england. further east you are. it does look

chillier overnight on monday through tuesday in england and wales and fog patches around, could be dense and slow to clear through tuesday morning. that is because the winds are light, the pressure is still high, more isobars indicating one of a breeze for northern england and scotla nd a breeze for northern england and scotland and northern ireland as tuesday begins and is a weather front is close by on sat —— tuesday for scotland, and the fog clears away from the midlands and southern england with dense patches but then once that is gone there will be sunny spells for england and wales, cardiff or scotland and northern ireland but away from northern scotla nd ireland but away from northern scotland most places are dry. the bigger picture for wednesday... low pressure getting closer, taking weather fronts into scotland and northern ireland and a weak one further south in england as well. that might produce showers here and more substantial rain coming to northern ireland and northern and western scotland on wednesday and in between the two weather fronts there isa between the two weather fronts there is a zone of dry and sunny weather to come and as temperatures around about mid to low teens, it does turn

milder later in the week across the southern half of the uk. the weather this week does start quiet but for a mid week for scotland and northern ireland it is low pressure coming back with brisk winds and there will be rain at times whereas throughout the week pressure remains higher in england and wales, some will see a bit of rain but not very much compared to recent days, the winds light compared to scotland and northern ireland and maybe some mist and fog patches around, especially on tuesday morning. that's a forecast — more online or through the weather app.

hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines. the speaker of the commons, john bercow, is expected to reject an attempt by the government to put its brexit agreement to a meaningful vote later today. the government says it's determined to press ahead with efforts to approve boris johnson's brexit plan. a double murder investigation has begun in milton keynes after two 17—year—old boys were stabbed to death at a house party last night. kurdish—led forces in syria say they have left a strategic border town under a truce with turkey. there's been more violence on the streets of hong kong as police fired tear gas at demonstrators marching

in defiance of a police ban. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the financial times chief feature writer, henry mance, and the uk correspondent at french broadcaster france 2a and president of the foreign press association, benedicte paviot. most of tomorrow's front pages are now in. let's start with the metro. it says borisjohnson‘s brexit deal will again be put to parliament, amid rising confidence in number 10 that he has the numbers to get it through. the same story is in the financial times. the newspaper has crunched the numbers, and suggests the government is on course to win by a majority of five. but not so fast — the times says labour is planning to hijack borisjohnson‘s deal, with amendments for a second referendum and customs union with the eu.
