anyone living illegally in this country who could help our investigation. please come forward and speak to us without fear. i can assure you that your information will be received in the strictest confidence and no criminal action will be taken against you. that was the detective chi's constable of the essex police. with more on this story our correspondent ed thomas has this report. this is pham tra my, 26, from vietnam. tonight, she is missing, and her family fears she was one of the 39 people to lose their life in the refrigerated container found in essex. at the exact time the container was crossing from zeebrugge, she sent this disturbing message. "i'm really sorry, mum and dad. "my trip to a foreign land has failed. "i am dying, i can't breathe. "i love you very much." her brother wanted to broadcast this appeal on the bbc.

the bbc has also spoken to the family of nguyen dinh luong, a 20—year—old man also missing tonight. the vietnamese embassy in london is now working with uk authorities to identify any victims suspected of being from vietnam. today, this investigation moved to cheshire. police arrested a 38—year—old man and a 38—year—old woman from warrington on suspicion of conspiracy to traffic people and manslaughter. in essex, detectives are continuing to question the 25—year—old lorry driver, named locally in northern ireland as mo robinson from county armagh.

while the delicate process of private ambulances under police escort remove all 39 bodies from the refrigerated container, postmortems will be carried out one by one, as police try and find out who they were and how they died. what is this noise? the fridge working. the fridge working? yes. that's the sound of the fridge? yes, i show you. wojciech has been transporting refrigerated lorries for two years. it goes 20,21. temperatures can get as low as minus 25. what's inside it? i don't know. you don't know what's inside? i don't know. sealed here, and i can't open this and check. he is not allowed to break the seal but, every move he makes, he is followed by a gps tracker. because it's expensive and they show where i am. the trailer has this? where is this trailer. and we've learnt more about the gps

movements of the refrigerated container found in essex. sources say tracking gps data shows the container left monaghan in ireland on october the 15th, then made trips to dublin and wales before crossing from dover to calais on the evening of october the 16th. on mainland europe, it appears the container travelled between belgium and france, visiting dunkirk, bruges and lille, before making its finaljourney from zeebrugge to purfleet. around half an hour later, it had been picked up by a lorry and all 39 bodies discovered inside. for three years, there have been security concerns over purfleet, warnings that smuggling gangs were targeting the port. they are dishevelled. some of them have got phones and they're smart. janet has lived opposite for more than 35 years. what is the largest number of people you've seen come off a container? probably about 30. two dozen at least.

this is now an international investigation as police search for the truth and answers for all 39 victims. ed thomas, bbc news, tilbury docks. explain how the travelling lines we re explain how the travelling lines were between vietnam and the uk. the statistics to see for themselves. for number of years now the vietnamese for a number of vietnamese for a number of vietnamese victims or suspected victims has been increasing to the point where it is number two for foreign victims behind albania and of course uk citizens being number one and of course number one and number two for children as well. this is the trade that's been going on for decades now. since 1990s after the end of the vietnam american war. so so it seems like

it's shocking for the vietnamese and the smugglers operate in a very clandestine way. from the way that they smuggle people over the routes and also to the camps themselves. in that france, there used to be one called vietnam city that was around for almost ten years before attention being paid to it. the french government dismantled that book for ten years it operated on its own and only for vietnamese people. so it is shocking but not shocking because it has been going on under the radar for very long time. just remind us why they feel the need to leave and travel afield. it's a combination of geography, culture, history and tradition in economics. most of them come from

just a handful of provinces in vietnam, essential north. provinces the since the 1990s has been sending 01’ the since the 1990s has been sending or these of the origin provinces of people going abroad to earn money and then sending money back home. post-1975 and then sending money back home. post—1975 after the war, vietnam through multiple waves of migration, lots had many people go abroad and former community who then would earn money and send it back to their families. so vietnam begin this country so last year were the top ten country or maybe number eight for the total number of legal people seeing being sent back to vietnam. even though vietnam is a fast developing country, lots of foreign investments and growing, it's the jewel of southeast asia in terms of development and investment, people from these particular provinces, because they are proven the putting

is that the homes and the motorbikes, and built and bought by the money that was sent home from overseas, most of the families are unaware of exactly how their family members over the years have earned this money, they think it is the working and nail salons or emergent, and they are not being told the truth that is a struggle. or that they are being held in virtual slavery conditions as long as the person oversees consent the money back home to the family. we understand it was a number commit to some of those dead in that container we re some of those dead in that container were vietnamese. and we understand that some of the money being paid to the traffickers have been paid back to the families. is that usual? what's of the reaction has the story seenin what's of the reaction has the story seen in vietnam? that is unusual for its speed. in the fact that it happened. and that should be

verified in vietnam. it's getting traction here and it was already just because it was the name of one of the young women expected to be a victim and one of the victims was released in vietnam, so it's making news here definitely. people are concerned. i don't really think this is going to deter anyone from going. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:40 and 11:30 this evening in the papers. our guestsjoining me tonight are michael booker, deputy editor of the daily express, and dawn foster, who's a columnist at the guardian. borisjohnson has told jeremy corbyn to ‘man up‘ — and back his call for a december election. mr corbyn says he wants a general election — but he and his mps are thought

unlikely to vote for one — unless the prime minister rules out a no—deal brexit. in brussels eu officials have agreed in principle to grant britain a further extension — after mrjohnson was required by parliament to request one — but it's not yet known for how long. there is some flash photography in this report from our deputy political editorjohn pienaar. it looked easy enough. i can't make the scissors work. can't make the scissors work, can't get an early election either. you run the world. i do. no, no, idon't. run the world ? as if! he needs labour votes to make a quick election happen, and jeremy corbyn's holding back, so... we can have more debates on brexit, if that's what he really wants, but they've got to agree a deadline. time for corbyn — man up, let's have an election on december the 12th. he is campaigning as if the election's started.

downing street even suggested the government would just ask again and again for an election if mps said no, virtually go on strike from doing anything else. really? isn't that an irresponsible way to go about things? i think you are totally confused here. we are going to be governing in the interests of the country. so maybe no government strike after all. hello again, welcome back... but what will labour do? the party's split, and jeremy corbyn's in no hurry to give the pm the quick election he wants. for now, he's saying no election until there is no chance at all of leaving with no deal. i hope the eu grants an extension. my position is we've got to get no—deal taken off the table first, because it would be catastrophic forjobs and businesses. for brexit, as one door opens, another is closed. have a good day. no comment. it was a very good discussion.

brussels' chief negotiator was meeting eu ambassadors and keeping the uk guessing. while mps wait to see what kind of extension's offered, the eu is waiting to see what westminster decides. westminster already seems paralysed. if an election's blocked next week, politics could be reduced to a game of who blinks first. an early contest seems inevitable, but who will yield? the snp want to seem more up for the fight than the others. the lib dems want a contest, too, but if brexit is approved first, how can they campaign as the party to stop brexit? we need to have the extension secured and implemented before we can consider a general election so that borisjohnson does not use the time available to take the country out on no—deal. what i want is the opposition parties to come together with a vote of no confidence and bring this government down to move to a quick election. how long has he got to stay? hopefully, we can have him out at the end of next week... out by next week — the young boy, that is, not the uk.

the pm can wish and wait. john pienaar, bbc news, westminster. our political correspondent, helen catt is at westminster. how likely is it that borisjohnson will get his election when he wants it? borisjohnson has tried twice to get an early election through parliament, and on both occasions he has failed. fell short of that magic 434 number, that's two thirds of the mps in the house of commons. is that likely to change on monday? well, for context borisjohnson has 288 conservatives, so you can see the gap that he needs to bridge and as you heard in the piece there it does not seem the opposition parties are particularly minded to vote for it at this stage particularly in the absence of any more detail from the eu on any extension. we also know the dup has not committed to voting for this either. it will take time over the weekend. it does look like he may fall short particularly if labour abstains once again as the did the last two times and it's

where the best gas work is in westminster for what they might end up westminster for what they might end up doing on monday. so where does that leave boris johnson? up doing on monday. so where does that leave borisjohnson? it's an uncomfortable position in that he has no majority, refusing to put his break the bill back before parliament and yet he will be effectively stuck in downing street because he cannot trigger the election. to try and change the parliament tree math in his favour. for all this talk of manning up it is labour that is in the position of power here. not that that means it's a comfortable position for them to be in either. this is highlighted some of the divisions internally within the party between those that think we should be pushing for another election, those that think they should be pushing for a second referendum, a new referendum first and there are those mps who want to back it civilly because they don't believe the parties are necessarily ina believe the parties are necessarily in a position to win it. one thing we do know is that monday is unlikely to be the last time we will see borisjohnson try unlikely to be the last time we will see boris johnson try to unlikely to be the last time we will see borisjohnson try to get an election. said that he will keep her emotions back day after day until he

does, and there are other routes he can try all they do carry a lot more risk. thank you very much thank you very much for that. the headlines on bbc news. families in vietnam say they fear their loved ones are among the 39 people who died in the refrigerated container in essex. the prime minister tells jeremy corbyn he should back an election — as the eu agree to another brexit a report has blamed a catalogue of errors for an air crash in indonesia last year in which 189 people died and coming up — the young lynx wild cats who've beaten a brexit deadline tojoin a breeding programme in the uk sport and for a full round up,

from the bbc sport centre, thank you very much, good evening. all the rugby but up to come. but we're starting with the premier league. and leicester are a goal up. ben chilwell the scorer. and it got worse for southampton because whilst checking the goal var picked up a bad tackle from ryan bertrand who was retrospectively given a red card. leicestrer have just added a second, youri tielmans the scorer.) 18 minutes and already to up and you would say heading to second to the table. there's a huge weekend of rugby ahead for both england and wales as they prepare for their world cup semi—finals. but as our sports editor dan roan explains, preparations injapan have been dampened slightly by the weather. the conditions that we have chosen to train him but nothing was going to train him but nothing was going to prevent final preparations for the biggest game of their lives. the

reign of eddie jones the biggest game of their lives. the reign of eddiejones began after the last world cup ended in failure but after guided this team to the brink of the final of the head coach told mejust how much it of the final of the head coach told me just how much it meant. i'm pleased to put pride back in the english rugby can i'm pleased with this group of them had to endure 2015, it was a tough time for them, to have been exceptional in the way they've attacked the world cup and said it's a great opportunity for us to attack the new zealanders. 24 yea rs to attack the new zealanders. 24 years ago them at the full force of the all blacks in the world cup semi final. the trial scored with the late greatjoe final. the trial scored with the late great joe not final. the trial scored with the late greatjoe not giving her some of its most iconic moments and adding to the mystique that surrounds a team known as the greatest in sport. from tv commercials to billboards, the all blacks popularity here injapan is obvious is the amphora third successive world cup triumph. one of the team who look to the trophy in 2011 told me the reigning champions

have their work cut out. you believe you can win this game against new zealand? absolutely. i'm nervous, really. i played england before and see how it they are throughout the world cup. it's going to be a cracking. whales also trained at the stadium earlier and have their semi final against south africa. the champions have struggled with both form and fitness injapan but are intent on giving their legendary coach the perfect sendoff in his final tournament. can coach the perfect sendoff in his finaltournament. can you coach the perfect sendoff in his final tournament. can you sum coach the perfect sendoff in his finaltournament. can you sum up what it would mean to you to get wells to the final end the first time in world history? will play the numbers that we've got and it would be some achievements. probably the greatest optimists in terms of i always go in the end and believe something is possible. japan gearing up something is possible. japan gearing up to mea something is possible. japan gearing up to me a while to host a defining weekend for british rugby. we've had the bad game and let's put that behind us, and that we can go all

the way to the final. the fact that they are switching their team around which they did not do on the whole of the last world cup i think they are on the back foot. the challenge facing both of them is formidable. england and wales have the chance to change the course of rugby history and will believe they can give this tournament its first all british final. lewis hamilton was fastest in first practice at the mexico grand prix. the championship this weekend. to do that he needs to score 14 points more than his mercedes team mate valtteri bottas. ferrari's charles leclerc finished second fastest in the first session, red bull's max verstappen was third. scotland's josh taylor takes on the usa's regis prograis bidding to become the unified superlightweight world champion this weekend. the pair weighed—in earlier today, but the american was an ounce over the ten stone limit. so he dropped his under pants to make the weight... thankfully a towel was on hand to keep his modesty.

no problems for taylor — who kept all his clothes on. both the ibf and wba titles are on the line in london tomorrow night. quick score update, leicester city now 3—0 up at southamptoin in the premier league. ayoze perez with the third, just over 20 mins played. that's all the sport for now. more in sportsday at half past ten. officials in indonesia have said that a series of failures were responsible for the lion air plane crash that killed 189 on board last year. investigators said faults by boeing, the airline and the pilots created a complex chain of events that led to the disaster. in response, boeing said it has taken action to correct the issues highlighted — in particular, redesigning the way crucial sensors on an automatic control system work to correct the plane's positioning.

earlier i asked our business correspondent theo leggett about the report. it isa it is a long report, more than 300 pages, but what it shows that a whole catalogue interlinked failures contributed to this disaster. such is to select a few of them, the maintenance failures. the plane was fitted with a sense of that was fa u lty fitted with a sense of that was faulty and their suggestions of the ground crew did not test it when they fitted it to the aircraft. then on top of that there was a flawed design can with this aircraft at a flight design can with this aircraft at a flight control system which relied on data from a single sensor in the case of crashed aircraft the sensor was faulty so when it obtained incorrect information it deployed at the wrong time, it forced the nose of the aircraft down when the pilots we re of the aircraft down when the pilots were trying to gain height. then there were failures in the part of there were failures in the part of the pilots. that did not communicate with one another in the way that would have been expected to. in order to diagnose what was wrong and try and come up with some kind of

solution to fly the plane. the report does suggest as well that the first officer, the copilot was lacking some basic flying skills and support all of this together and you have a chain of events as you said that created a disaster in which 189 people were killed. they are saying they have taken corrective measures, is that enough? they've taken corrective measures to get the aircraft back flying, that needs to because they have 4500 on order and needs saw them. the question is why this aircraft was flying at all because because this report suggests there was a whole catalogue of failures lien air does not come out very well. a second accident occurred a few months later with almost identical aircraft implicated in the accident was the same design flaw and problem with the flood control software that caused the first accident. i think is legitimate to ask why after the first accident in which these feelings were picked up on pretty quickly was this aircraft still

flying months later the second accident occurred in which 157 people were killed. is that the next step? the boeing chief executive will be facing us politicians in congress, questions are being asked about the relationship between boeing and the regulator for the federal aviation authority which cleared the aircraft a flight was certified and whether there was too much coordination or to close, that kind of thing is going on and of course legal repercussions will be going on for years. anti corruption protesters have taken to the streets in the capital beiruit for a ninth day. demonstrators have cut off major roads, and have promised to keep up a campaign to paralyse the country, despite an offer from the president to meet their representatives. protestors have filled towns and cities across lebanon, forcing banks and schools to close. activists are demanding the removal of the entire

political class, accusing it of systematic corruption. commuters travelling through euston station in london have faced major disruption this evening, after boy was injured falling from a bridge. all services from the central london station were suspended during rush hour while police dealt with what network rail described as a ‘serious trespass incident‘ near wembley central. all lines have now been reopened, but they've warned of "serious disruption" for passengers until end of service on friday. parents are being warned that they are oblivious to the way children and teenagers are being targeted by drug dealers on social media, and how accessible cheap class—a drugs now are. it follows the deaths of at least a dozen children under the age of 16 across the uk since 2017 after taking ecstasy. our correspondent, hywel griffith, has this special report. you do, you think you're invincible as a child, you know? still grieving, still confused.

it's six months since tatum lost her little boy. i think i didn't want it to be real. you don't want to believe it or something. i was thinking, no, this is somebody else, it's got to be. it can't be carson. 13—year—old carson price died after taking ecstasy in this park. his mother's been told it was sold to him through a snapchat message on his phone forjust a few pounds. when they told me the cost as well, to know what my son's life, how much that cost... it was too easy, as easy as going to buy sweets in a sweet shop. you know, it was advertised on snapchat, meet someone openly, in broad daylight... here? and that's how easy it was. carson is one of at least a dozen children who have died in the uk since 2017 after taking ecstasy, in a trade which has passed most adults by. but not these teenagers in cardiff, who tell me children are being targeted by drug dealers

online and in the classroom. i've known people take them as young as 12, and it can start off like marijuana, but it can really quickly grow to ecstasy. that person who's in the library who is revising is also a drug dealer part—time, because it's such fast money. you can look outside your window, there's about eight kids running back and forth. you know exactly what they're doing. a lot of drugs are actually sold off snapchat, just simply, so accounts would be made, they're kind of hard to track, they'll approach you and they'll deliver to you as well. snapchat has told the bbc there is no place on its messaging service for drugs. it encourages users to report illegal activity. when the police carry out raids, this is what they find. ecstasy tablets are now at least double the strength and 80% cheaper than they were in the 1990s, making them more accessible than ever. you don't have to go to an unknown house any more. there are no drug dens.

it's almost become respectable. it's a text message, an arrangement made very often by phone for a cost, really visible to the public, often not to the police. what is visible is the harm to young lives and the helplessness some families feel. carson was only 13. it's going to get younger if they don't start making an example of it. it's just going to go on and on and on and spiral, and people are going to get away with it, making money. from what? from families being torn apart. the home office says it is concerned by the rise in use of class as. it's awaiting the findings of a major review to understand exactly who is most at risk. hwyel griffith, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello there, heavy outbreaks of rain will continue to affect parts of england and wales but it is across the south of wales that the met office have issued their amber weather warning. we could get around hundred 20 millimetres of rain, more

than enough to cause flooding problems. it is not the only place that was a heavy rain, overnight and into saturday logically relations of rain across the south—west england, the peaks and pennines, and even lower down into the mid loads of northern england will be enough rain to cause some localised surface water flooding issues. a mild night in the south, quarterly patchy frost in the north—west and showers at time affecting the high ground in north—west scotland. into saturday, as the band of rain slowly ease away from those worst affected areas they what will still be running down off the hills into the river catchment so flooding will get worse before it gets better. sunshine and blustery showers across the north—west of the country and for most of us, it is a cold day, the milder airjust clinging on because if i south—east of inwood. —— across the south—east of england, that is your weather.

hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... families in vietnam say they fear their loved ones are among the 39 people who died in the refrigerated container in essex. the lorry driver remains in custody and police have now made 3 more arrests as they continue their investigation. how are you getting your election? the prime minister tells jeremy corbyn he should back an election — as the eu agree to another brexit

delay — but don't say for how long. a report into the crash of a boeing 737 ‘max lion air‘ flight uncovers — a catalogue of failures — which led to the deaths of 189 people. teenagers buying class a drugs on social media — parents are warned that they're oblivious to the way children are being targeted by drug dealers online. twenty—two members of notorious drugs gang that terrorised a liverpool suburb for months have been given lengthy prison sentences. their leader was jailed for more than 30 years. they'd used guns and stockpiled home made bombs to protect their patch, and didn't hesitate to use violence against potential informers. they were rounded up after a big police operation. sentencing them took two days. dave guest has the details. the net closes in on a notorious gang who terrorised a whole community.

the community were unable to go about their daily activities through fear of intimidation or being assaulted. lives were blighted. here they are trying to ditch drugs as they run, desperate to rid themselves of incriminating evidence. for the people whose lives they disrupted, this day could not come soon enough. i would know i would not go out. even in the day. we live in a community and things are going on, it becomes commonplace, doesn't it, after a while? the police operation to bring them to book was called bombay. christopher wallace ran a garage business but supply drugs and guns to criminals. callum and his brotherjake were key players, too. and they were ruthless. you only have to look at what the

recoveries were. ten viable firearms, loads of rounds of ammunition and to improvised explosive devices. the people in this neighbourhood were terrified of the gangsters were also afraid of going to the police, going to the police, fearing repercussions. as people for the police were serious about disrupting the activities of the group, they began to nod my goal you want your kids to grow up in a safe environment, not seeing that element. through a combination of undercover where, overt taxes, high visible —— visibility policing and we were able to get to these key individuals. christopher has been locked up for firearms and explosives offences.

his brother got 25 and a half. sentencing them to two full days. in all, jail terms totalling more than 300 years were handed down. alzhiemers is the most common form of dementia — and there's no cure for it. but now scientists believe they could be on the cusp of a breakthrough — after a drugs company said it had the first treatment for alzheimers. in the uk, dementia is the single biggest cause of death. 850,000 people are living with some form of it — and that figure is expected to rise to around two million by 2050. our medical correspondent, fergus walsh, reports on the alzheimer‘s drug which just six months ago was deemed a failure. i was there, right there, in the chair. charman was in the middle of receiving biogen's experimental alzheimer's drug in march when her consultant ran

in and said the trial was being halted immediately. i was shaking, and this was devastating. yes, it was. and very unexpected news. it was. it was a big shock. biogen said the drug, called aducanumab, simply didn't work, but after analysing more data, it now believes it does slow alzheimer's in higher doses. did you feel it was working? yes... ..yes, idid. if you can you tell me the name of this animal? she was diagnosed with alzheimer's three years ago. and that's one of those... you know. . .! it affects her language skills and she often struggles to find words. i do know it but i can't say it. her husband philip is relieved her condition has not got significantly worse, maybe because of the drug. i think it made a difference. she's still the person i was married to for 35 years and we're still doing things like this.

i don't know whether the drug worked but what i know is that my wife is still the person i knew. yeah. biogen said patients on a high dose of aducanumab had 23% less cognitive decline after 18 months than those on a dummy drug. it helped them retain life skills, like being able to do household chores. abnormal amyloid, then it will show up as red... aducanumab is designed to clear amyloid, an abnormal protein which ravages the brain, so could it be the wonder drug scientists have spent decades searching for? i have to be cautious here because of what's happened in the past. so, i hope we have the first drug that's going to slow alzheimer's, but i have to see more to be fair to my patients and the people that have got hope. but if we do, it would be enormous? yeah, it would be the biggest thing that's happened in alzheimer's, ever.

and medical regulators will be poring over all of biogen's as—yet unpublished trial data before they decide whether to grant it a licence. they'll be very cautious indeed. it's relatively immature data. they'll be looking incredibly closely at that and normally what they would want to see is a second study, to confirm those results. if aducanumab passes all its regulatory hurdles, it's still likely to be another two to three years before it comes on the market here in the uk. it will undoubtedly be expensive, but it could also be transformative for patients, giving them crucial extra years of quality life. and enjoying life together is what matters to charman and philip — living with dementia, not defined by it. fergus walsh, bbc news. the former us president barack obama has paid tribute to the prominent democrat, elijah cummings, who died last week. the clintons and house

speaker, nancy pelosi were also among the speakers at the congressman's funeral in baltimore. here's a clip from mr obama's eulogy. the honourable elijah e cummings. you know, this is a title that we confer on all kinds of people who get elected to public office. applause we are supposed to introduce them as honourable. applause but elijah cummings was honourable

before he was elected office, there isa before he was elected office, there is a difference. there is a difference, if you were honourable and treated others honorably. outside of the limelight. former us president barack obama there. conversations about gender equality "can't happen without men". that was the message from the duchess of sussex when she met youth ambassadors from around the world at windsor castle today. and to underline her argument, prince harry turned up as a surprise guest — as sarah campbell reports. it was a short drive in their electric car for prince harry and the duchess of sussex, from home to windsor castle. good to see you guys, how are you? this, the first time they have both faced the camera since their revealing interviews aired on sunday night. the focus of discussion today between young people from countries including south africa, nigeria, malawi and bangladesh, was one meghan is passionate about.

gender equality, which has been something i have championed for quite a long time. harry hadn't originally been invited, but his wife explained why he was there. you can't have a conversation about women's empowerment with just women. right, and, so, for that reason, it made complete sense for him to join today, so thank you for letting him crash the party. laughter. they both made clear their discomfort with the press. prince harry wasn't expected here today, but he came to support the cause and his wife. it was the safest of spaces, behind the thick walls of windsor castle, with just a handful of journalists. is there a bit of a generational gap, as well, as in the older men not necessarily wanting to change their habits? their attendance was appreciated by the inspirational young people who'd come together, like 29—year—old amir ashour, sitting next to the duchess, who's spent the last five years campaigning to help the lgbt community in iraq.

it's easy to say we should stand for gender rights, but it's harder to actually take the action and do it, and it's inspiring to see that both of them are willing to take that action. this was a meeting of minds from across the commonwealth and beyond — and, giving them a global platform, the duke and duchess of sussex. sarah campbell, bbc news, windsor. in a race against the brexit clock, two young lynx wild cats have been hastily shipped to the uk from france. they're fast becoming star attractions at a wildlife park at herne in kent. it was feared a no—deal brexit might have halted plans to transport the young brother and sister from the continent. the lynx has been extinct in this country for fifteen hundred years. robin gibson has the story. finding theirfeet, pushing the boundaries. they may look like soft, cuddly bundles of fun, but in nature, the lynx doesn't

really do fun. it's a wild cat, exterminated in this country, no doubt for its elegant fur, 500 yea rs before the norman conquest. they're solitary hunters, top drawer predators. so, lynx are carnivorous animals, so here we are feeding them rats, chickens, rabbit. particularly they like the rabbit. and mice. and in terms of the enclosure, they like to climb in captivity, so we make sure there's lots of platforms for them to climb on the outside and denning areas. we provide them with shelter in captivity as well, so they've both got two beds that they can sleep in. the unnamed brother and sister were captive bred in a french zoo. at five months old, it was thought they were ready to be transferred here to become part of a breeding programme to preserve the species, but things didn't go without snags. so, here with two beautiful wild creatures you'd think were about as far away from any

mention of brexit as you can possibly be. but no. if we had a no—deal brexit on the 315t of october, we were informed that it was likely that animal imports would be delayed by five to seven months, and obviously these are five months old now. that would have meant we would potentially be delayed in bringing them over for another five or seven months, so we built the enclosure now to bring them over before brexit happened just to make sure that we had them on sight and safe before there was any risk of that delay. they are of course blissfully unaware of any of this political wrangling. they're here to stay, hopefully playing a part in seeing their species survive for future generations to appreciate. robin gibson, bbc south east today, herne. a reminder of the headlines on bbc news... families in vietnam say they fear their loved ones are among

the 39 people who died in the refrigerated container in essex. how are you getting your election? the prime minister tells jeremy corbyn he should back an election — as the eu agree to another brexit delay — but it hasn't decided how long the delay will be. a report has blamed a catalogue of errors for an air crash in indonesia last year in which 189 people died. now on bbc news it's time for the film review. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. so mark, what do we have this week?
