building barricades and pulling metal barricades across the street. this was a peaceful protest at the beginning, a couple of hours around about 10,000 people were here on the streets in the centre of barcelona, just throwing insults at the police. then they began throwing rocks, they began throwing firebombs and eventually the police lost their patients doesn't like fireworks. do you think the process will change anything? we hope so. if we don't do anything? we hope so. if we don't do anything for sure it will stay the same. i think the only ways to go out on the street and protest and do like this. this fire is burning right in the rich, smart part of barcelona. these smart bins set on fire. the pro—independence leaders here have called for today's rallies

to be peaceful. the main rally was just that, some 350,000 people, and the leaders are talking about how this independence movement is a peaceful one. but yet again here in the centre of barcelona tonight, there are fires on the street and protesters clashing with the police. that was sarah rainsford on the streets of barcelona there. british police say a 25—year—old man, maurice robinson, has been charged with 39 counts of manslaughter and conspiracy to traffic people. this was after 39 bodies were found in a refrigerated lorry trailer in essex. a fifth person was arrested today in dublin in connection with the deaths. a number of vietnamese families believe their relatives could be among the dead. and that country's prime minister has ordered an investigation into people smuggling networks. here's bbc‘s jon donnison. 25—year—old maurice robinson, from northern ireland. arrested on wednesday, he's now facing multiple charges,

including 39 counts of manslaughter, conspiracy to traffic people, and money laundering. he was the driver of the lorry. detectives say identifying those who died will take time, but the focus is now on the vietnamese community. i've met with the vietnamese ambassador and we are building a really good and rapid rapport. but underlying all that, of course, we don't know exactly the nationality of our individuals, but at the moment, i'm going to focus and engage as much as i possibly can 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 and sons travelled on that day. they know about the news, but they don't want to believe it. they are waiting for a miracle. in central vietnam, a makeshift shrine has been set up at the home

of bui thi nhung. her relatives are also fearing the worst. another heartbroken family, who can only wait for confirmation of what they think they already know. this morning, at tilbury docks, more bodies were driven away by private ambulance. all 39 have now been removed from the container. they've been taken to broomfield hospital, in chelmsford, for postmortem examinations. jon donnison, bbc news, in grays, in essex. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news: catholic bishops have voted to recommend allowing married men to become priests in remote places. it would break the centuries—old tradition of celibacy. the vote came at the end of a vatican synod on the amazon region, where there is a severe shortage of priests. torrential rain has caused flooding and landslides in japan, leaving at least ten people dead. thousands have been forced to spend the night in tokyo's narita airport. eastern coastal areas are the worst hit. the prime minister, shinzo abe, has said everything is being done to help those affected.

to iraq now. at least three protesters have been killed in iraq. it means more than 200 people have now died in anti—government protests this month. the violence comes in spite of protest leaders announcing a pause in demonstrations until the new year, to give the government time to respond to their demands. 0ur middle east correspondent tom bateman has the story. protesters were back on the streets in their thousands. they chanted for freedom, they demanded jobs and an end to corruption. in the southern city of nasiriyah, a group of protesters tried to storm the house of a local official. at least two people died in the violence. in the capital, baghdad, security forces were ready to protect the green zone — the fortified area that hosts iraq's parliament. protesters blame a political system put in place after the us—led invasion of 2003, when government

jobs were handed out on religious and ethnic lines. they say it has impoverished the people, but enriched their leaders. "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's 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's 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.

the chilean president sebastian pinera has promised to lift a state of emergency that's been in place in several cities after widespread protests about living standards began a week ago. he said the emergency decree would be revoked at midnight local time if circumstances permitted. with me is our americas editor, leonardo rocha. so the state of emergency, just tell us so the state of emergency, just tell us why it was put in? it's been a week, seven nights of violence in chile, and it all came unexpectedly after the government announced a hike in the public transport fares in santiago, the metro, the underground fares. but there was a lot of discontent about inequality in chile, which is south america's richest country. but many believe that only the wealthiest, the wealthy elites of chile were benefiting from that. so we have an

unexpected sequence of events, 17 people killed over that we, and what the government has announced now as the government has announced now as the curfew being lifted from overnight in santiago, the capital, where congress is, and a state of emergency which means troops on the ground in the streets of san diego and the other cities probably, on sunday —— santiago. and the other cities probably, on sunday -- santiago. and there have been huge numbers of people coming out onto the streets, very significant? on friday evening we had the biggest demonstration in chile since the end of the military regime in1990. 1.2 chile since the end of the military regime in 1990. 1.2 million people according to the mayor of santiago took to the streets, marching for the end of inequality, for social justice, and i was a big turn of events. because after several days of violence, many people expected trouble, and that is when president

in —— pinera praised the demonstration and sucked his entire cabinet and is appointing a new cabinet. i measures they are going to be enough for the people? many people doubt he will be able. he is a billionaire, a conservative, his right wing, many people say how is he going to do that? is he buying time for himself or has he seen that chile is not ready to accept that. but chile is a wealthy country and has been going for three decades, he has been going for three decades, he has the wealth and resources to perform the reforms that people are demanding. thank you very much, we will see. 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. 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 vardy — 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. he's just going to have to go back and think very hard about how he will get back our ten votes. it's as simple as that, there's arithmetic to be played. if he doesn'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.

stay with us on bbc world news. plenty more to come from around the uk and the world. indira gandhi, ruler of the world's largest democracy, died today. 0nly yesterday she'd spoken of dying in the service of her country and said, "i would be proud of it, every drop of my blood would contribute to the growth of this nation". after 46 years of unhappiness, these two countries have concluded a chapter of history. no more suspicion, no more fear, no more uncertainty of what each day might bring. booster ignition and lift—off of discovery, with a crew of six astronaut heroes and one american legend. this is beautiful.

a milestone in human history. born today, this girl in india is the 7 billionth person on the planet. minutes later this is bbc world news. the latest headlines: another huge protest in barcelona as the backlash over spain's jailing of separatist catalonian leaders continues. a man has been charged with 39 counts manslaughter over the deaths of migrants found in a lorry in england. officials in california are warning that historically strong winds expected this weekend are likely to fan the destructive wildfires that have taken hold. a state of emergency has already been declared in los angeles and sonoma counties. millions of people in california face having their power cut as the emergency services continue to battle rapidly spreading

wildfires. a local power company p&g says it intends to turn off power in 36 counties after one of its transmission towers developed a fault near one of the fires. in several parts of california, thousands have been made to flee as fire hits residential land. we got a knock on the door at 3am from the sheriffs telling us we needed to leave and leave now. the fire in los angeles county has already caused a huge amount of damage but it's dwarfed in size by the kincaid fire which is spread across the sonoma cou nty which is spread across the sonoma county wine region and threatens homes in the san francisco bay area. if 2000 people there have been ordered to leave. we are evacuating because this fire is very dangerous and it's expected to move before towards fields bergen windsor this evening. the winds were going to experience is like what we

experienced in 2017. we only have a fire burning and have advance notice now and that is why we are taking these precautions. we want you to start evacuating now. water is continually being dropped by planes as firefighters continue to fight the blaze on the ground but days of forecast strong hot dry wins are going to make theirjob much more difficult. we are potentially going to see historical wind events. it has is highly concerned that the vulnerable areas of california could see some explosive buyer so that's why we are reiterating this kind of schedule that we are preaching to everybody. power is expected to be cut to almost a million homes in the state as a precaution. there are concerns that sparks from electricity lines combined with the extreme winds could prove dangerous. but the power outages are causing their own problems. we believe that

although the shutoffs are projected to be much shorter, we should be prepared for an extended shut off. that is the worst case scenario. it could be 5— seven days, if they are not able to resume power or with changes. smokers rising and spreading across california found by those strengthening wins. it's forecast it will reach up to 70 miles an houras forecast it will reach up to 70 miles an hour as so much of the state's land is scorched once more. mike dewald is a reporter in sonoma county, which is under a state of emergency. it is a critical day here in sonoma county. the next 2a hours, as crews prepare for that wind event, with very high level winds, up to 90 miles an hour in high elevations, they are really looking to make gains, to get those containment lines down before those winds come through and potentially push it towards more developed areas. 25,000 acres is the size of the fire, currently. 10% containment is up to. there has been criticism over pg&e not modernising a lot

of its infrastructure and technology two years ago. the northern california supplier pg&e was found at fault for many of those, last year's campfires, they were found at fault for a transmission line failure there. this year's fire, there is a lot of speculation about a 43—year—old transmission line that had an error the night of the fire a few minutes before in the same area where the fire was recorded. the speculation also hit the company stock price, about 30% on friday, down to $5, so just more criticism as the company plans to turn off power to nearly a million customers here in the states. the people of sonoma county are probably the most prepared for wildfires of anywhere in the country. the residents here have gone through this five years running. there was a preparedness event a few months ago, 5000 people showed up.

argentinians go to the polls on sunday to choose their next president. after shock primaries earlier this year, populist alberto fernandez is expected to beat president mauricio macri, who has been blamed for worsening the country's economic crisis. 0ur south america correspondent, katy watson, reports from buenos aires. there is no clear sign of crisis. every week, this queue gets longer and longer. more people relying on charity to get themselves through the week. every day, single mother antonella waited soup kitchens like these to feed her and her little boy. translation: i pick up my son from school every day and cure for food. before i had a cleaning job but they let go and this is my last resort. for me and lots of people, this isn't the only one. there are loads of places where people get given food. people get into fights for it. ariel walks the streets every day looking for work and picking up odd jobs that he can. i have to pay rent but have no means to buy food, he says, so it's no coincidence they are queueing up

outside congress. 0rganisers are making a point. politicians need to do something about it. the biggest issue on voters minds is the economy. inflation is around 50%. 0ne economy. inflation is around 50%. one in three people here now live in poverty. the question is, which candidate is going to pull the country out of the crisis. do they stick with liberal mauricio macri or return to populism once again? much of the appeal of frontrunner alberto fernandez is this woman, former president cristina fernandez de kirchner is someone with a huge following but being accused of corrupt and irresponsible fixed —— responsible. meanwhile under mauricio macri, the argentina pacer has plummeted in the crisis has only gotten worse. these two men run this small business creating locally designed products. with rising inflation it's hard to own a profit. it's not been easy since they started nine years ago.|j it's not been easy since they started nine years ago. i worry with what will happen to us after sunday.

we like a lot of the mauricio macri politics because transparent, we believe in those kind of politics. the truth is that when we were with christina before, everything was a little bit stable but it was fake maybe? we don't know, it's difficult to politics in argentina. while many argentines are divided over politics, others just want this ought to be over. translation: the most important thing is stability. i'm 61 years old and i've been dictatorship, everything. whati hope is that at some point we leave this cycle of stagnation, poverty and we have the model of a country we all want. sunday's boat could change the direction of argentina and for many, they hope their fate as well. johannesburg has been celebrating the 30th anniversary of its pride parade. thousands of people from the lgbt community took part

in this year's march through the streets of south africa's biggest city. it's the longest—running pride event in on the african continent, where many nations still have some of the world's most prohibitive laws governing homsexuality. same—sex marriage has been legal in south africa since 2006, and the slogan for this year's parade is "pride of africa". here are some participants on why they took part. it's just really nice to see, you vibe with your tribe so it's really nice to see people sharing the same interests in coming to one place and enjoying themselves. it's a celebration of diversity and a celebration of diversity and a celebration of diversity and a celebration of your individuality and humanity. i am here because i'm 95v and humanity. i am here because i'm gay but also ijust think it is a cool vibe seeing people around that sort ofjust like me. white's important is because people need to feel comfortable in their skin. we
