within the vietnamese community. in vietnam, the family of nguyen dinh tu is already grieving. he was trying to reach the uk, while his wife and young son stayed behind at home. his father said he feels certain his son was inside the lorry. translation: he was on that truck, all 39 are dead and he must be one of them. he's gone now. father anthony dang huu nam s a vietnamese priest who has been speaking to families whose relatives are missing. they were on their way to a new life, but they lost their lives, he says. the district is in sorrow. it's a tragedy for the whole country to bear. 21—year—old pham thi tra my is another feared victim. in glasgow, we managed to speak to a friend who was hoping to see her once she arrived in the uk. he didn't want to be identified and spoke to us through a translator. translation: i have spoken to some of the families. they told me their daughters

the all blacks were clear favourites before the game, but england dominated, winning by 19 points to 7. they'll face either wales or south africa, who play each other tomorrow, in the final. our sports editor, dan roan, reports from yokohama. capturing the moment. 12 long years, they have had to wait to say "we were there", to witness their team playing a game of such magnitude. opponents more used to such occasions arriving quietly confident. taking on rugby's dominant force is always special, but with a place in the world cup final on the line, this was a match of truly epic proportions. from the start, there was an edge to england, encroaching into all black territory before the action had even begun. making a formation of their own during the haka. v for victory. if they were intimidated, they certainly didn't look it. the tone had been sent. england starting with such

ferocious intensity, manu tuilagi able to pick and drive over within two minutes. this the quickest try new zealand and had ever conceded in a world cup. england were in no mood to loosen their grip. george ford's penalty giving them a precious ten—point lead at half—time. the only points new zealand could muster came from an england mistake, a poor line—out pounced on by savea. but that was as good as it got for the reigning champions. this england team does not buckle like it has in the past, defending like men possessed. their relentless hunger earning crucial points from the boot of ford. new zealand were running out of time. they had not tasted defeat in this competition since 2007. but they had been outplayed, their dream of a third successive world cup triumph over, along with their reign. coach eddiejones masterminding one of the great england performances in any sport. rugby‘s world order had a new power.

i'd like to pay the greatest compliment who've won two world cups in a row and it been a great team so we had to dig really deep to beat them. and having seen their team secure a first—ever world cup win over new zealand, england's fans can continue their celebrations for another week. that's how we thought they were going to play and we hoped they'd play and they did. the way the boys played today out there for us was incredible. it was relentless, from start to finish. not since 2003, when the world cup was won, has england rugby enjoyed a moment quite like this. four years on from their failure at the last tournament, pride has been restored and the superpower of the sport has been dethroned. tomorrow, england will discover if they will face wales or south africa in next weekend's final, but whoever it is, they'll start as firm favourites, after a win they will never forget. dan roan, bbc news, yokohama. the democratic unionist party in northern ireland has vowed to oppose the prime minister's brexit deal in the coming weeks unless he negotiates changes. the dup leader arlene foster told the party conference today her mps would use their votes to defeat

borisjohnson in westminster. here's our ireland correspondent, emma va rdy. and a warning, there's some flash photography in her report. what a difference! this time last year, it was boris johnson walking onto this stage to rapturous applause. today, he was scolded by the dup leader. rather than have boris with us today, we have had to send him to the naughty step in parliament twice in this last week. twice! the party has refused to back the government on crucial brexit votes, saying borisjohnson sacrificed commitments he made to the dup in order to get a deal. we will not give support to the government when we believe they are fundamentally wrong and acting in a way that is detrimental to northern ireland and taking us in the wrong direction. last year, borisjohnson was warmly welcomed when he said no government should put a border down the irish sea. but his revised brexit deal requires

new checks at northern ireland's ports to keep frictionless trade over the irish land border. it's a concession that, for the dup, undermines northern ireland's place in the united kingdom, which arlene foster has promised to uphold. now more than ever, let us stand strong for the union. thank you very much. arlene foster was keen to remind delegates the dup‘s votes in westminster have made a difference in recent days. and despite what members see as borisjohnson‘s betrayal of promises that he made here last year, they continue to hope the party can wield enough influence to get the prime minister to change course in the days ahead. just going to have to go back and think very hard about how he'll get back our ten votes. it's as simple as that, there's arithmetic to be played. if he don't, i don't see any future for boris, i have to say. the price for an agreement with the eu has been losing the support of allies here.

emma vardy, bbc news, belfast. two days before mps vote on a government plan to hold a general election, a new proposal has emerged from two opposition parties — to hold an election on december 9th. 0ur political correspondentjessica parker is here to explain more. what are they proposing, and why? well, it is first important to say it could be another turbulent week in westminster and there are a lot of moving parts, but this is from the liberal democrats and the snp. they have things in common, they think they could do well out of an early election, they don't like brexit and they don't want to be seen dancing to the tune of boris johnson. they have written to european council president donald tusk sein, give us that longer extension of three months and we will push for a general election on december ninth and they have crafted legislation and it is a big if, if it hit the commons floor, it would require a simple majority to pass. they are worried if brussels thinks parliament won't do anything with a

longer delay to brexit, they will go toa longer delay to brexit, they will go to a short one to pass pressure on mps to pass borisjohnson‘s brexit deal. this is one plant like a lot of planas deal. this is one plant like a lot of pla nas in deal. this is one plant like a lot of planas in westminster, it might not work, and the government might wa nt to not work, and the government might want to have an election on their own terms and not someone else's. 0k, jessica, thank you. the family of a british student who disappeared after a party on a cambodian island has flown out to join the search for her. 21—year—old amelia bambridge, from worthing, was last seen in the backpacker resort of koh rong on wednesday. her handbag has been found on a nearby beach. more anti—government demonstrators have died in iraq, where protests have continued, despite a call for a pause until the new year. protesters are demanding more jobs, better public services and an end to corruption. three people were reported dead after security forces fired tear gas canisters in the capital, baghdad, and at least two more were killed in the city of nasiriyah.

"these are my brothers," this woman said. "if i don't protect them, i can't protect my country." more than 50 people died

in clashes yesterday, as security forces used live ammunition to break up protests. today, they buried the dead. it is the second serious bout of violence this month, with the government's handling of the demonstrations only fuelling more unrest. iraq's prime minister, adil abdul—mahdi — in office for only a year — finds himself under growing pressure. he has promised a cabinet reshuffle and a package of reforms, but it has done little to quell the anger. it's likely to take far more from the government to calm iraq's streets. tom bateman, bbc news. now, with a look ahead to whether wales can join england in the rugby world cup final — and the rest of today's sport — here's lizzi greenwood—hughes, at the bbc sport centre. yes, reeta. it's less than 12 hours until wales take on south africa in the second semi—final at the rugby world cup, and the tantalising prospect of a possible place in the final. patrick geary has been following the build up.

is sapped, they will rely on spirit. these are the games you deal with the half —— hard graft for, the altitude and the heat camps, every othercamp we altitude and the heat camps, every other camp we have been on until now! and these are the ones that you give anything and everything to be pa rt give anything and everything to be part of. wales now know a familiar enemy awaits should they make the final. absolutely sensational! they beat england earlier this year, on their way to the grandson. but now for the big one. history may be less than a week away —— to the grand slam. match of the day follows the news, so avert your attention if you don't want to hear today's premier league results now. manchester city closed the gap on leaders liverpool to three points, after beating aston villa. christian pulisic scored a perfect hat—trick for chelsea, as they won 4—2 at burnley. elsewhere, var helped brighton beat everton. and watford v bournemouth and west ham v sheffield united were both draws. bottom side in the scottish premiership stjohnstone beat hamilton.

hello, this is bbc news. police in barcelona say 350,000 people have turned out for another protest against the jailing of nine catalan separatist leaders. at least 200 people have been arrested at demonstrations across catalonia since the supreme court handed down sentences of up to 13 years. 0ur correspondent sarah rainsford has been on the streets of barcelona this evening. well, i think you just saw their one man with his face covered in blood being led away by the dryer police.

he is one of two that we have seen arrested by police here. for a long time, that two and a half hours, things were very calm on the streets. there are 10,000 protesters in the centre of barcelona, they are mainly focused on the national police headquarters here, they have been chanting, they have been throwing bottles, butjust in another ten minutes or so, the riot police clearly had had enough, they moved in on the crowd, they sent in these police buses, these vans you can see behind me, and they pushed the crowd back up the state —— straight. you can taste to get in the air, we have this evening firecrackers grown from the crowd, the police appear to have lost their patience, essentially, and have moved in to try to clear the streets. certainly, last week there we re streets. certainly, last week there were extremely violent scenes here, burning barricades in barcelona, and the pro—independence leaders here had called for the protests here today to remain peaceful, and it had been that way, as you mentioned

350,000 people had a separate protest earlier today and this crowd of 10,000, protest earlier today and this crowd of10,000, again mainly protest earlier today and this crowd of 10,000, again mainly peaceful, lots of them sitting on the streets protesting just by their presence here, but just protesting just by their presence here, butjust in the last few minutes, the police, as i can say —— as you can see, the police try to clear the streets as best they can. but the mood here is obviously angry, people very angry that the pro—independence leaders, nine of them, were prosecuted and sentenced to long terms in prison. that is what this protest is all about and obviously as we see today, again, it has begun to descend in the violence on the streets here in barcelona. we'll continue this conversation. they have been calls for dialogue. what has happened? well, there is not a lot of dialogue here. i can see the police right in front of me trying to detain another couple of protesters that are lying on the

streets, i think you can see it, the police trying to bundle them away. there was a small demonstration today, people saying that they needed to be dialogue, people who came without flags, either catalan 01’ came without flags, either catalan or spanish, saying both sides really need to sit down, precisely because of the violence, they are saying things are becoming too radical, it is going too far, there is time for talk and unity, but this is an issue that so divides catalan society in spain asa that so divides catalan society in spain as a whole and is one that people feel extremely passionately about. we have been hearing the protesters hear shouting at the police calling them fascists and occupiers. very strong feelings on both sides of this issue, this divide. and there have been, i understand, other protests taking place as well? in favour of staying unified. can you tell us what they have been saying, the narrative there? because not everybody

supports the independence protesters. no, that is right. in fa ct, protesters. no, that is right. in fact, the majority, according to polls, would want catalonia to stay a part of a united spain. there is another major rally planned for tomorrow when those who support catalonia's staying are expected to ta ke to catalonia's staying are expected to take to the streets. the organisers of the pro—independence... there is a man kicking a police van as it pulls out. the pro—independence politicians and leaders had called for as many people as possible to ta ke to for as many people as possible to take to the streets today because i wa nted take to the streets today because i wanted to get bigger numbers of those in favour of remaining part of spain on sunday. a third man been arrested over the deaths of two teenagers at a house party in milton keynes, last weekend. 17—year—olds ben gillham—rice and dom ansah died after being attacked at a birthday party in archford croft. two suspects have now appeared in court.

eventually, the frontal system will gradually work its way that little bit further towards the south and east, and what is left behind, still some pretty gusty conditions so do watch out if you are moving later on tonight or into the first part of sunday, the wind really noticeable, particularly across northern parts of scotland where we'll keep the showers going into the west of scotland, may be parts of northern ireland, the western side of the pennines. eventually, that frontal system will pull away towards the near continent. so, it takes the rain away but it will also take the last of the milder air, one or two spots on saturday in kent got up to in excess of 18 degrees. we won't be seeing that sort of thing again for a good few days to come. and the nights are pretty chilly as well starting with tonight. two, three, four degrees in the south will come as a shock, there could be a touch of frost where the windfalls light. the nightjust that little bit longer to cool things off as well because remember the clocks

are going to back one hour. this is how we start the new day on sunday. england, wales, the greater part of northern ireland, the southern portions of scotland — dry, fine, sunny, crisp, it is the other face of autumn. what is also noticeable is it stays windy and very showery across northern and eastern parts of scotland, one or two showers into the northern coast of ireland and the western side of the pennine. but much cooler, forget about 18, it is hello, 12 or 13. at the very best. and that is the way we proceed into the first half of the forthcoming week. it is drier, for the most part it is sunnier, and it is also noticeably colder. from about the middle part of the week, we'll see some cloud and rain getting into the far south—west and in the second half of the week, it turns milder again. it turns wetter and much windier too.

let's have a look at the what the papers are bringing tomorrow. nigel mason is here. we'll chat in a moment, folks, first off, quick look through the front pages. a rousing image and headline for england rugby fans tops the sunday telegraph. it also claims that an establishment stitch—up is protecting speakerjohn bercow from a bullying investigation. the observer says brexit means the uk could be removed from the organisation that's leading international inquiries into the 39 people who died on a lorry in essex.

the mail on sunday has carried out an undercover investigation in which its reporter spoke to a people smuggler based in the uk. comments made byjustin welby about borisjohnson's use of inflammatory language is the sunday times' lead. a claim from the prime minister that the eu is holding britain hostage over brexit is the sunday express' headline. and the daily star has reminiscent thoughts from suggs who compares skirmishes as a football hooligan to the battle of agincourt. it is our lead story, and the tragic deaths in the lorry. the observer goes with that lead. do you want to kick us of? this is a new line because we know that the police

investigation
