parliament, tomorrow. vigils are held in vietnam by families who fear their loved ones are among the 39 people found dead in a lorry in essex. wales are out of the rugby world cup, after losing to south africa in the semi final. good evening. welcome to bbc news. donald trump says the leader of the so called islamic state group, abu bakr al—baghdadi, has died after a military operation, conducted by us special forces. he'd been described as the world's most wanted man, and mrtrump said capturing or killing him, had been the top national security priority of his administation.

al—baghdadi had been under surveillance in northern syria for weeks, and was eventually cornered in the village of barisha. he's said to have detonated an explosive vest, as his compound came under attack. here's our middle east correspondent, quentin somerville. abu bakr al—baghdadi died in the dark in northern syria. the ferocious sound of the firefight was heard for miles. pictures of donald trump watching the operation live have now been released by the white house. he later described how baghdadi he had fled into a tunnel wearing a suicide vest, taking three of his children with him. he reached the end of the tunnel as our dogs chased him down. he ignited his vest, killing himself and the three children. a brutal killer, one who has caused so much hardship and death,

has violently been eliminated. he will never again harm another innocent man, woman or child. he died like a dog. he died like a coward. the world is now a much safer place. this was the scene this morning. donald trump thanked russia, turkey and the syrian kurds, but said only americans were involved in the raid. a neighbour told the bbc what he saw. translation: around 11pm, they started shooting the house of abu mohammad. the house was completely destroyed. we recovered seven bodies from under the rubble and two others on the main street. abu bakr al—baghdadi was last seen earlier this year in a rare propaganda video, very much still in command of is. a number of his followers and two wives were also killed in the raid. this caps a terrible year for the group he commanded.

their last remaining territory was lost in a bloody battle in the spring, leading to the capture of thousands of its supporters and their families. this killing brings an end to the reign of a man whose empire of terror stretched across the middle east and clawed at the capitals of europe. his followers crowed earlier ths year, when he appeared alive in a propaganda video. today, they're mostly silent. abu bakr al—baghdadi was thought to be far from here, possibly in iraq. but it was in these olive groves that one of the most brutal and successful extremists of modern times met his end. quentin sommerville, bbc news, beirut. well, our international correspondent orla guerrin gave me this update from the turkey/syria border, just a few miles from where al baghdadi died. the night—time raid, which donald trump has described as a daring mission, took place very close to

where we are now. it was about six km or3.7 where we are now. it was about six km or 3.7 milesjust across where we are now. it was about six km or 3.7 miles just across the border inside syria, in a village called berisha. clearly there were a lot of moving parts. it's a very crowded arena there. you have turkish forces and syrian forces, and russian forces. for example, the turks have said they were proud to have played a part, although they are not telling us what part they played. they said they had advance knowledge and said there was an exchange of information and coordination between the militaries of both countries. interesting details coming from the syrian kurds, though. the way they are portraying it, it seems like they had a major part to play in all this. they have issued a statement saying that the raid came after five months ofjoint effort. they have said that they were involved in tracking the presence of al—baghdadi. well if they did play a key role, there's a bitter irony in that. today, donald trump was thanking them, and three weeks ago he was clearing the way for a major

turkish offensive against them. the stf, the syrian kurds have said today that the raid against al—baghdadi, the operation had to be delayed for a month because of that turkish assault which began here in the region less than a month ago. our correspondent in washington chris buckler gave us the view from there. this was timed for the political programmes that go out on a sunday morning here in washington. in donald trump spoke for an hour, he really delivered what sounded like a victory speech. but the fact that he has gone ahead with this will not detract from the criticism that ultimately, he allowed some chaos in that region by allowing turkey to invade northern syria. still we have those questions that democrats will raise time and time again about his long—term strategy in the middle

east. we just heard orla talk about it, the fact is he wants troops out and nothing to do with the region. in fact, he suggested during the speech he gave earlier that as far as he was concerned, they were only there to protect oil. and there will be people who are saying, as far as donald trump is concerned, that he has not worked out what to do in the region if conflict emerges again. and there are dangers, of course, in the months ahead. beyond that, democrats are also a little upset that frankly, their leadership were not told that this raid was taking place. it seems that some republican members of congress were told that the raid was happening, but not democrats. and they won't be happy with donald trump is my reasoning for that — he said as far as he was concerned, there was always a danger of lea ks if people concerned, there was always a danger of leaks if people in washington we re of leaks if people in washington were told, that leaks happened in washington. but fundamentally, donald trump will use this as a campaigning tool. an election is just a year away, as commander—in—chief, he's not just

claiming victory but personal credit for this. and you listen to the language, it was personal and vivid, and you could argue it was triumphalist. he talked for example about al—baghdadi crying and whimpering ina about al—baghdadi crying and whimpering in a state of panic, dying like a dog, and a coward. that is language we are not used to from an american president — well, at least until this administered in. and with an election coming forward, you can imagine trump will be saying time and time again that he has been responsible for killing the world's most responsible for killing the world's m ost wa nted responsible for killing the world's most wanted terrorist leader. earlier, i spoke to our security correspondent frank gardner who explained how the search for al—baghdadi had been going on for some time. the man had a $25 million, £19 million bounty on his head. at the time, he was the world's most wanted fugitive and terrorist, which is how the fbi referred to him as. this is somebody who has been on the run really since 2010. he was a key

figure notjust in an islamic state, but also before that, the islamic state in iraq was born from a rack. he galvanised what was left of al-qaeda, turned into a fighting force, he had the religious credentials. he turned it into one of the most sadistic, brutal... and this was, at its height, a group that was able actually to establish itself as a physical entity. a provocative claim to be a caliphate, but it actually had territory? provocative claim to be a caliphate, but it actually had territory7m did, and that was the failure of the world back in 2014. it had taken its eye off the ball in baghdad. i'm told that iraq was never mentioned in cabinet office at that time back in 2014. there were hardly any intelligence officers from the west in baghdad. they basically put iraq

to the site. at the time, the shieh government had adopted a very discriminatory policy against the sunnis. al—baghdadi championed that and said, we are your champions, swept into most will be just a few hundred soldiers. they were able to establish this caliphate that has covered 88 km2, about 8 million people were underneath that, they made their money from oil wells, extortion, wheat fields, from bribery and so on. the policy of actually having a physical caliphate is quite controversial, so 0sama 0sama bin laden, before he was killed in 2011, said his advice to jihadists in the syria own iraq was, 110w jihadists in the syria own iraq was, now is not the time. the time will day, it may be years ahead. but now is not the time because you present a target to your enemies. and sure enough, that is exactly what

happened. al—baghdadi overreached himself, making too big fundamental errors. they advanced eastwards towards the kurdish capital, and thatis towards the kurdish capital, and that is where there's a lot of oil in us interests. so they enslaved the use cds, horrifying the whole world, and they beheaded western aid workers and journalists in those horrific snuff videos. and that basically lead to a five year military campaign that saw the end of their caliphate. and in terms of what is left behind, al—baghdadi was quite an elusive figure. you only saw him in the public on two occasions — once when he declared it, and once on a video months ago. apart from having a symbolic value and a big morale boosterfor the countries fighting islamic state, will his absence make a big difference to the organisation, or what is left of the organisation? know, operationally very little. spiritually and wrote —— emotionally, it is very important. because while he was still at large,

it gave isis followers something to aim for. the fact that every now and then, they would trail a big announcement from him. and when he appeared ina announcement from him. and when he appeared in a video in april, very much emulating 0sama bin laden — him with a blank background but a stubby machine gun next to him, a large beard — all that was a symbolic leadership propaganda effect. all thatis leadership propaganda effect. all that is gone. they will have trouble finding someone with the same credentials as him. they will replace him with somebody we haven't heard of it eventually. but it isn't gone. there are remnants cells, sleeper skills, there will be calls for revenge. there will definitely be people out for revenge for this the same way they were for 0sama bin laden. nicolas henin is a journalist who was taken hostage by islamic state for 9 months.

my my reaction is relief. i would not say i am happy about the news, because it is difficult to be happy over the death of anyone. but i am definitely relieved and satisfied that this person who has done so much harm to so many people will not harm anyone any more. this is done, and this is good news. it was an enemy, the chief of an enemy group, and he has been removed from the battlefield. he was the man who had found a way to inspire a lot of people, many of them from europe. of course the group that held you, captive hostage was a group made up of british people who had travelled to the region to support islamic state. in the time you were in captivity, how much was he spoken of as an inspiration? did you get any sense of him as a figure when you we re sense of him as a figure when you were held there? well, the fighters

who were holding us because of our captivity was mainly manned by frank fighters, so mostly europeans. and while this book about him a couple of times, i don't know if i did encounter him or if we encountered him. we received at some point a visit of very high ranking leaders of the group. but without knowing much about them. what did they say about him? you said you heard about him from the group. they were saying that he was their leader, and they we re that he was their leader, and they were respecting him. it was not yet the caliphate at the time, because it was before the restoration of this caliphate. but he was seen as a very inspirational leader by the

fighters, obviously. in some ways, it was a very sophisticated operation. at one point they had their own media office, encouraging on some occasion journalists to go in to see how they were running this new caliphate. do you think he was kind of a different order of leader of jihadist kind of a different order of leader ofjihadist groups then some of the others? because they are so many others? because they are so many other groups. exactly. well, i don't think abu bakr al—baghdadi invented anything. but it was successful at taking all the good tricks that worked before and optimising things. in terror tactics. it did not invent anything. the major change, i think,

with this group, with is, is the change in proportions. never in the past have we had so many of our countrymen and westerners involved into such terrorist projects. nicholas was held captive for nine months by the group that calls itself islamic state. the headlines on bbc news... donald trump announces that us special forces have killed the fugitive leader of the so called islamic state group, abu bakr al—baghdadi. the us says al baghdadi detonated an explosives vest, after being cornered in a compound, in north western syria. the government presses ahead with attempts to get a december general election. ministers will put a vote before parliament, tomorrow.

some breaking news coming into us this evening, this is from our correspondent alan fleming and brussels. he is saying that new eu text on brexit extension, the date that you may offer this country, because it is unlikely to be the 31 0ctober deadline, will be to spot the micro discussed by ambassadors of the eu at 9am greenwich mean time tomorrow. that is when investors will meet, 10am our time. they will be discussing a draft text of a decision to extend the article 50 period until 31 january. meanwhile, the government says it will press on with efforts for a general election, but hasn't ruled out working with the opposition parties to try to get one if that all fails. it follows an attempt by the liberal democrats and the scottish national party to get a election on 9 december. here's our political correspondent tom barton.

what jessica parker. the government suggest 12 december, the smp and lib dems are suggesting nine december for some there are couple things you need to discuss. they don't want to be seen dancing to borisjohnson's tune on this one, but there is also a crucial plane between their plane and the government's plan. the government's plan centres on looking at the withdrawal bill, scrutinising and trying to get it through parliament before that snapple. the snp and lib dems say they are not interested in passing the withdrawal agreement bill, they don't like brexit. they want to secure a three month delay to brexit from the eu, and have that snap election. i think some key differences there. also intriguingly, there has been talk as to where there will be a few more stu d e nts to where there will be a few more students still around in their university towns on december the

micro nine december as opposed to 12 december, which could be helpful to the lib dems. in terms of the potential for a the lib dems. in terms of the potentialfor a general the lib dems. in terms of the potential for a general election, absent the labour party supporting one, does boris johnson absent the labour party supporting one, does borisjohnson have much chance of getting a 12 december one? sorry, i've gotten them wrong, now i'm confused. it's a confusing picture. in terms of the numbers, borisjohnson is lavishly going for this vote tomorrow where he needs two thirds of mps to back his 12 december plan. it is not looking like he will get that because he would need labour on board in order to reach that threshold. the interesting thing with the lib dem and snp proposal is it is a bill. there are plenty of obstacles in the way of getting that done, you would need the government to get behind that done it for it to get introduced or cmp is taking control of the order paper. i'm not sure

they have time to do that. but if they have time to do that. but if they can introduce a bill onto the commons floor, they would need a simple majority, just over 50% of mps who actually turn up on the day to vote for that idea. however it is a bill that would need to pass through the house of commons and the house of lords could be subject to amendments, as well. but they wouldn't need labour to get behind it, they have enough mps in the lib dems and the mps democrat snp if that happened. downing street is not looking at deaths ruling that out, but i think they are now trying to stick to plan a. jessica palmer there. three people arrested, after the discovery of 39 bodies in a refridgerated container lorry in essex, have been released on bail. the driver, maurice robinson, who's 25, is due to appear in court tomorrow charged with manslaughter. meanwhile the families of those feared dead, have been holding vigils and ceremonies back in vietnam. many are thought to have come from the village of yen thanh, from wherejonathan head has sent us this report.

singing. a community overwhelmed by shock and despair. they haven't heard from sons and daughters who were en route to britain for days, and they all fear the worst. earlier this year, a relative left vietnam to seek his fortune in europe. since he left, his wife has given birth to their second child. he was the great hope of this family. news from britain has left them stunned. his wife can't eat or speak. his father is inconsolable, constantly hugging his eldest grandchild. he's lost notjust his son, but his livelihood, as well. he mortgaged all his land

to borrow the money he paid for his son's journey. "the debt he left us is huge," he said. "we don't know when we can pay it back. "i am too old now and my health is poor." it has been a day of prayer here, and of neighbours doing what they can to offer comfort. they are used to saying goodbye to their young men and women in this part of vietnam. remittances are important to the local economy. but not loss on this scale. this 19—year—old is another one who dreamed of something better. they are almost certain that she too was inside the ill—fated container. saving and borrowing to send their young folk overseas has become a routine practice in these villages. it has also become a richly profitable business for the traffickers —

a pitiless and dangerous one. few people here realised, as they surely do now, just how dangerous it could be. jonathan head, bbc news, yen thanh, vietnam. power has been cut to almost a million homes and businesses in california in an attempt to stop damaged cables starting more wildfires. more than two million home are expecting to lose their electricity over the next few hours in the biggest blackout in the state's history. there's a warning that fires which have already seen 90,000 people moved from their homes could spread with winds of up to 80 mph forecast. 0utside leicester city fc was football stadium which killed five people, including the owners. to mark the date, the club opened a memorial garden outside the ground. a reporter was there. 12 months ago, the scene of carnage, shock, and

devastation. now a place of peace, remembrance, and reflection. a private multi—faith ceremony for the clu b staff private multi—faith ceremony for the club staff and invited guests mark the opening of the memorial garden. supporters can come here and take solace, may be, from their own lives, their own situations, as well as paying their respects to the reason why this garden is here. after the service, hundreds of people queued up outside the stadium to pay their respects. we were at the night when it happen. just here to pay our respects to a lovely man. i think what they've done is captured everything about the history and with the owner was about. many people can come here as about. many people can come here as a way to remember what the owner did

for lester. absolutely stunning. i just can't believe it. named in honour of the owner's former chairman, this garden features flowers a nd chairman, this garden features flowers and items of significance to his family. it also remembers the four other died — two members of staff and two pilots. thousands of floral tributes left outside the stadium last year will be turned in the compost and used in this garden. it is the latest in a series of lasting tributes to a man who made so many dreams come true. samir kalyani, bbc news, lester. —— lay sister. tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of barcelona, in support of spanish unity. marchers carried banners bearing the slogan "enough!" it follows protests by supporters of catalan independence yesterday, that ended in violent clashes with police. here's sarah rainsford.

today, they raise the spanish nationalflag in barcelona alongside the catalan colours. unity was the message. catalans who insist they're spanish, too, and will stay that way. but two years on from an independence vote, and with nine of its leaders in prison for sedition, this is a society deeply divided. some have even lost friends over the issue. they feel that you are against catalonia, and we are not against catalonia. we love catalonia but we love spain. this crowd has not been out on the streets in these numbers since the referendum, but they say they want to be here to make sure their voice is heard and to make it clear that not everyone here in catalonia wants independence. but last night, this same street was in flames after a crowd of independence supporters were charged by police.

they fired rubber bullets to scatter the crowd after being pelted with paint and bottles. there were ugly scenes after a much bigger and peaceful rally. hundreds of thousands in the street, insisting on their right to split from spain and calling for those they call political prisoners to be freed. passions are heated on both sides. today's pro—unity rally called for healing the divide, but no—one can agree here how to do that. sarah rainsford, bbc news, barcelona. exit polls show the far right alternative to germany artie has more than doubled its votes in the eastern states. in a sign of increased political polarisation, the party received about 24% of the vote in the state of thuringia ——

avf, wild exit polls show germany's far left party won with 29% of the vote. angela merkel‘s democrats, the party appear to be pushed into third place. a 13th century masterpiece that had been hanging above a cooker for years has fetched more than $26 million — that'sjust over 20 million pounds — at auction, four times the estimate. the painting by the pre—renaissance italian artist cimabue was found in a kitchen this year, but was spotted just before it was due to be take to the rubbish dump. makes you wonder how it ended up there in the first place. window cleaners in canada had a lucky escape after strong winds forced their platform to swing violently out of control. the cleaners were working on the stantec tower in edmonton when the platform they were on, which was suspended by a crane, swung away from the building.

it then crashed into windows on the fifth story several times and one of the workers was left hanging by their harness in mid air. i have to say, the story ends happily. he was successfully brought down, nobody was injured or hurt. rescue workers say they were pleased there were no casualties is all dashed at all, but it reminds you of that michael crawford sketch, hanging out shouting for betty. the only good news for this poor man was that there were at least fewer windowpanes to clean. now it's time for a look at the weather. pa rt part two of the weekend certainly better than part one. it was extremely wet across england and wales with a number of flood warnings remaining in force, these

will abate over the next few days because we have high pressure dominating the scene, a lot of dry and sunny weather but it will be colder with overnight frosts. high pressure pushing in from the atla ntic pressure pushing in from the atlantic through the course of sunday. fairly windy conditions across scotland and the northern aisles, and some showers easing away as low pressure pushes off toward scandinavia and high pressure continues to build. but for most, it's been a fine afternoon with plenty of sunshine. a finer night with clear skies and light winds. those showers clearing northeast of scotland, or easing down by the end of the night. but it will be a cold one. notice the blues appearing across central and northern areas, which means towards the west a widespread frost is expected. don't be surprised if you wake up to scenes like this on monday morning. blue skies but cold and crisp with some frost around. the frost should lift quite quickly through the morning as it will be a lovely sunny day, and it will stay dry and bright

for most of us. a bit more of a breeze, some cloud and the odd showerfor breeze, some cloud and the odd shower for north of scotland. 0nce we see the cloud building in the far southwest, the area of low pressure nearby here will send this weather front in. temperatures 9—12dc, perhaps a few degrees colder than what we had on sunday. high pressure continues to dominate as we head into tuesday. you will notice the weather fronts associated with this low system continue to plague the southeast corner. so it will stay breezy here, more cloud with a few showers pushing into the channel islands into cornwall and devon. but elsewhere it should be another dry day after a cold and frosty start with plenty of sunshine around. just a bit of cloud affecting some north sea coast, that's a bit more than an onshore breeze here. temperature wise, 9—12dc, around 12—13dc across the far southwest. mid week onwards, we start to see sudden changes. the area of low pressure starts to encroach further, bringing where

wetter and windier weather. still dry and chilly, then by thursday and friday, low—pressure comes out to bring more of a breeze and also turn milder. hello this is bbc news. the headlines: president trump says the leader of the so—called islamic state group, abu bakr al—baghdadi, has died after a military operation, by us special forces. a brutal killer, one who has caused so much hardship and death, has violently been eliminated. the us says al—baghdadi detonated an explosives vest, after being cornered in a compound, in north western syria. the government presses ahead with attempts to get a december general election.

ministers will put a vote before parliament tomorrow. vigils are held in vietnam by families who fear their loved ones are among the 39 people found dead in a lorry in essex. now on bbc news, it's time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm jane dougall. the dream is over for wales at the rugby world cup as south africa win in their semifinal by a narrow margin. liverpool come from behind to take all three points in a thrilling game at anfield. and four goals for the bhoys. celtic‘s rout at pittodrie is the biggest in more than a decade. also coming up in the programme: can lewis hamilton win his sixth drivers' championship?

well, he's been given a boost ahead of the mexican grand prix which gets underway shortly. hello and welcome to sportsday. but we start with the rugby world cup and wales' devastation after losing in their semi—final to south africa. the two sides were evenly matched for most of the game, but the springboks just edged it 19—16. it means there now won't be an all—british final as our sports correspondent andy swiss explains from yokohama. the anticipation was deafening, wales fans, hoping for history, could they join england in the world cup final? well, their passion was obvious.

but they would need poise as well. a scrappy first half won't have revealed much to watching england coach, and jones, but the springboks edged it. andre pollard booting them 9—6 ahead at the break. after it, wales' task got even tougher, as de allende bulldozed through to put south africa in command. but wales are a side of remarkable resilience, and back they came. commentator: world cup semifinal try! josh adams giving their fans fresh hope. suddenly it was 16—16. what drama. with less than five minutes to go, a penalty to south africa, and pollard held his nerve. it had not been pretty from the springboks, but it was enough, and while they celebrated, for wales, the dream was once again dashed, a third world cup semifinal defeat and desperate disappointment. proud of us when we went to 16—16

but obviously we piggyback to the penalties down the park and south africa took advantage so congratulations to them. really proud of these guys, they've given 100%, they continue to do so and we got ourselves back in that game, really close contest. absolutely gutted, it could have gone either way. was it a bit of a sickener? a third one? fourth for me, to be honest, i went to the football well! agonisingly close for wales, but for their fans, it won't be much consolation. it is south africa who will face england here next weekend in the world cup final. a controvertial penalty gave liverpool the win at anfield against tottenham. the league leaders came from behind to beat spurs 2—1 after captain harry kane had given his side the lead in the first minute. liverpool now equal the premier league record of 28 points after the first ten fixtures. nick parrott reports.

liverpool and tottenham have had contrasting fortunes since they last met in the champions league final in june. victory bitterjurgen klopp's men who came into this match unbeaten in the premier league while the ritual pochettino's side appear to have struggled to get over the disappointment, but there were no ha rd disappointment, but there were no hard feelings at anfield, just a determination from spurs to rebut their season. and with just 47 seconds gone, they were on their way. harry kane nowjoint third all—time leading goal—scorer for his club. it took liverpool a well recover their composure, but once they had, they attacked relentlessly. more than adequate replacement for the injured hugo lloris. having scored early in the first half, tottenham almost did it again in the second. when you get chances against liverpool, you need to ta ke chances against liverpool, you need to take them, because sooner or later, they will score. though few would have expected caps and jordan henderson to be the saviour, this

was his first goal at anfield for almost four years. liverpool kept applying the pressure and eventually forced spurs to put a foot wrong and, as happened in madrid, more sell—out made it count. relief for liverpool —— muhammad sala made it count. disappointment for tottenham at the hands of clot's men. in the early game in the premier league, ten man newcastle drew 1—1 with wolves at st james's park, keeping them just above the relegation zone. jamaal lascelles gave newcastle the lead just before half time with this header. jonny then equalised for wolves after an errorfrom martin dubravka. but newcastle went down to ten men after sean longstaff was shown a straight red in the 82nd minute for this high tackle on ruben nevez, and despite a late barrage from wolves, steve bruce's side held on for a point. in the other games, an away win for manchester united at carrow road. it finished 3—1.

goals from scott mctominay, marcus rashford and antony martial. 0nel hernandez got one back for norwich. at the emirates arsenal were denied a late winner against crystal palace, sokratis's goal ruled out by var. he had scored earlier in the match along with daivd luiz to put arsenal ahead. lucas milivojevic scored a penalty for palace and jordan ayew equalised to make it 2—2. defending champions arsenal beat title rivals manchester city in the women's super league. top scorer vivianne miedema got the goal of the game to end citys' unbeaten run this season. arsenal have now won 15 of their past 16 home games. in the other results, manchester united beat reading 2—0 and everton also beat brighton 2—0. in the london derby it finished 3—1 to chelsea away at west ham. in scotland, rangers stay level on points at the top of the table after coming from behind to beat motherwell 2—1. meanwhile the scottish champions celtic scored four unanswered goals at pittodrie to beat aberdeen by the biggest margin

at their ground for 11 years. joe lynskey reports. for celtic, the league title needs a special focus this time. they face revitalised rivals and play in europe most thursdays. come sundays, that means they want the work done early. at aberdeen, this was the start of a first half rout. 0dsonne edouard, the first of four different goal—scorers and the one it meant the most who was their teenage full—back, jeremie frimpong, forcing this over the line. 18 and signed from manchester city this summer, this was his first senior goal. aberdeen's european dream ended in august. they are now a long way from where they want to be. as james forrest strolled through for 3—0, the fans walked home and celtic‘s biggest win here this decade was sealed in 44 minutes. perhaps more importantly, it is their first away win for six weeks and in the title race emerging

as the closest in years, celtic, once again, have momentum. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the sports headlines today. josh taylor is now the unified ibf and wba super—lightweight champion after beating the undefeated american regis prograis at london's 02. it was an incredible display from both boxers over 12 rounds, but the scottish southpaw fought through to beat prograis on points. that's despite his right eye being swollen shut. taylor is now undefeated in 16 fights. saracens have their first league win of the season beating leicester tigers 24 points to 10 at welford road. both sides without their england stars — who are still injapan — ben earl scored twice for the english and european champions as they eased to victory. england's steven brown shot a blemish—free final—round 66 to finish on 17 under par and win his first title on the european tour by a single

stroke at the portugal masters. in the nfl, the cincinati begals are playing the la rams at wembley. the rams are winning 17—10 after a 65—yard touchdown from cooper kupp. it's half time. you can watch live coverage on bbc 2. lewis hamilton will start from third place at the mexican grand prix after red bull's max verstappen was stripped of pole position. it gives hamilton a boost in his quest to win his sixth drivers championship this weekend. verstappen was given a three—place penalty for failing to slow after valteri bottas crashed. it means the ferrari's lock out the front of the grid with charles leclerc on pole. jennie gow is there for us. it's race day here in mexico, round 18, and it is leclerc and vettel locking out the front row for ferrari but it did not end

like that yesterday. verstappen held the front row, but an incident in the qualifying session saw bottas crash and then a slowdown. verstappen was penalised and dropped back three places, so once again, it is six consecutive ferrari pole positions. can the team work together and turn that into a win? i suppose the lead of that situation, we know that the dynamics going on are fluid to say the least. will hamilton get that sixth world championship? he must finish on the podium to do that and for bottas not to score big this weekend. 14 points between them. as you can see, the fans are pouring in and it should be a fantastic race. fingers crossed, we should be in for a corker. all the coverage is on bbc radio

five live. today is the anniversary of the death of leicester city's former chairman vichai srivaddhanaprabha. he was killed last year along with four others in a helicopter crash outside leicester's king power stadium. the club has paid tribute to the thai businessman who was central to their incredible premier league title win in 2016. the wounds are still there, definitely. you know, obviously, it's been a year, but the boss is constantly on our minds still and every time we go onto the field, we think about him and we want to, you know, do him proud. you know, what he wanted from the club and from the players and that's success, so, you know, we want to do him proud and every town we call out there, we try and win. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. now on bbc news it is time for the travel show.

turkey's aegean coast. it's where you will find some of history's big hitters. ancient and evocative ruin settlements, like pergamon and troy. we are hardly off the beaten track here. you may well recognise the names of some of the local towns. bodrum and marmaris are now as well known for their holiday resorts as they are for their classical heritage. more than 400 of the homes here in tepe neighbourhood were colourised last year, as part of a project run by a paint company. it looks great from a distance, but it's also lots of fun close—up. whoa! high five, high five! yeah!yeah! the aim was that it would make tepe a much more liveable environment. these homes had been earmarked for demolition.

i have moved a few hours down the coast to the mula region, to the junction of the aegean and mediterranean seas. welcome to iztuzu beach here, just a few kilometres away from the sleepy little beach town of dalyan, here in turkey. 30 years ago, no—one really knew about the beach, but 30 years ago, they also were not paying much attention to what was happening underneath the sands. this is one of the most important nesting sites for europe's population of endangered loggerhead turtles. every summer, thousands of hatchlings push their way up onto the beach and crawl down into the ocean. that is still the case largely because of the work of this woman. june haimoff, who is now 96, stopped a hotel development

in the late ‘80s that would have spelled total destruction for the breeding grounds. she has devoted the last three decades of her life to the turtles, winning turkish citizenship and an mbe along the way. the government had a plan to develop this for tourism and it included — not only included, a vital part of it — was a road down the middle of the beach. i spoke up, i said, "please, don't put a road" and i was helped — i did not do it alone. some said i was mad. others said i was a spy! a spy? a spy for greece. it's true! it sounds funny to us but that was actually written in a newspaper at that time. and what's happened here now? what is the situation like? very good. the government here respects and knows about this beach. it is under protection. no—one can come here at night and start flashing lights around, looking for the turtles,

ordigging up nests, because there would be curious people who would like to do that. but it would take a lot of fire in your heart to put all that energy and time into saving these turtles? i do have some fire in my heart! i can tell. i've still got it. i can tell. well, i think if turtles could erect statues, there would be one of you just right over there, just off the coast, built by loggerhead turtles. it is interesting what you say because, in the village, they plan some kind of edifice to me, i think, in dalyan village. i said i would rather have it at the beach if they do one and could they, please, you know, not make it too big or grand. not you riding a turtle...? 0r anything like that? because that is not allowed. well, actually, now that you mention it, that would not displease me. no.

these are pictures from the old days on the beach. june has become known as ‘captain june' here by the locals. she set up a foundation that has paved the way for others to make this stretch of coastline an important part of turkey's conservation scene. and about ten years ago, just a few minutes' walk from june's hut down the road, they opened this facility. the locals call it a turtle hospital, because the sick and injured turtles are brought here for rehabilitation and hopefully released, if things go well. 0oh! what happened here? 0uch. a boat crash, unfortunately. so, can you see the wound? yeah. it has a big wound and i can show you the rest. wow. the rest of the shell is ok but the wound is too big. unfortunately, a boat crashed this side and break... the propellerjust cut, cut, cut...

probably. new arrivals come from all over this stretch of coastline, chiefly loggerheads and green turtles. for many, like this guy being patched up with beeswax, it is the same old story. in a fight between a shell and a boat propeller, there is only ever one winner. that looks like it's a really deep wound. so was it much worse when the turtle first arrived? yeah, it was worse. it is an important and a deep injury still, i can say, but when it came to us, we could see the intestine inside. the intestines? we put some cream which is antibacterial and then we use beeswax to close... seal the shell. yeah, so it is good for infection again. you first. like this? yeah. as night falls, i am offered scrubs and a rare insight

into a turtle postmortem. this one has been dead for 20 days. the team here are looking for the cause. i know plastic pollution is something we talk a lot about these days. how often do you find plastic inside the gastrointestinal tract? 35% to 40%, unfortunately. it is general marine litter, not only plastic, but most of it was plastic. 35%, 40% is a big number, so that shows us that turtles are in danger. but happily, however this one died, it appears ocean litter was not to blame. when the team does not find a cause of death, how does it make everyone feel? if you do not find any plastic, which is good for us, then we feel happy the turtle didn't eat any plastic. but if we do not know why it died,

of course, it feels a bit weird because we are curious and we are thinking maybe the turtle might drown in the sea because of fishing net. a stray fisherman's net? or maybe there was an infection but we did not see it. of course, we want to know. with a little smile, because there is no plastic. yeah! sure. but let's not forget why we are here — the turtles under iztuzu beach. the beach itself actually closes at 8pm to the public, but we have been given special permission by the authorities to join the team here tonight to uncover some nests. we have to keep some precautions in mind. no bright lights — only these red ones which are invisible to turtles' eyes, and we have to be a little bit quiet, so let's continue and zip it. this is a real privilege. vulnerable nests have cages put around them to protect them from foxes.

it doesn't take long for the volunteers to find one that's recently hatched. 0ne empty turtle egg. that one probably hatched and left. uh-huh. eggshells are counted and there is a thorough search for any casualties. and then, just a few more yards along, one of the volunteers disturbs a fox sniffing around another cage. oh, and there's actually — you can see babies moving inside. oh, yeah, they are hatching! whoa! what a lot! there's a lot! wow! all right! there are so many. mike, this wasn't... this was not part of the plan. no. because fox dig it, the babies havejust woken up. uh-huh. put me back inside,

it is scary out here. be safe, little guys. watch out for big fish and plastic bags. i'll see you in a while, hopefully. what an incredible wonder of nature to witness to end the programme. coming up next week: rajan heads into the arabian desert to explore a hidden city that's lain relatively untouched for thousands of years. if you enjoyed the programme today, there is a longer version of it on the bbc iplayer. and if you are on social media, so are we — just search bbc travel show. from myself, mike corey, and the rest of the travel show team here in turkey, it is goodbye.

hello, once again. i still think they need a weatherman, but that is just my opinion. very good evening to you. gloriously across the british isles. why travel when the weather is as good as this right here and it will stay in a similar vein for the next few days, drier, sunnier, but you will have noticed that it sunnier, but you will have noticed thatitis sunnier, but you will have noticed that it is colder, and for that you have to thank the high pressure which chased the frontal system away but introduced cooler, fresher weather coming along those eyes buyers from iceland, so no surprise it has actually feel about it, but at least drier. still some showers to be had across northern parts of the british isles. the odd shower running down the coast and more cloud with a little bit of rain in the very far south—west, but overnight, as the night progresses, those colours really drain away. we will end up with a pretty chilly start to the new week, the new day on monday could well look like that.

yes, it could be frosty. you might be scraping the car for the first time this season. 0nce be scraping the car for the first time this season. once a day gets going, i think it will be a gloriously fine, sunny, chilly sort of day. still a noticeable northerly to north—westerly just of day. still a noticeable northerly to north—westerlyjust urging the showers into the north—west of scotland, may be some on the eastern shores, all the while with frontal systems in the very far south—west and temperatures on a par with what we got today. cool issue despite the sunshine. another chilly start as we go from monday into tuesday. that is set upa go from monday into tuesday. that is set up a little bit more familiar today, isa buyers opening up across the north of britain, so less in the way of wind so maybe a tad warmer as you will see from the temperatures, it will not be, but still a chance of being robbed of the sunshine across the south of wales, and south—west of england with some rain west of the tay mark down towards as far as the channel islands. you will see what i mean, nine to about 12 or cover it for most of us. as we get to watch wednesday, you will notice a change across the western side of

the british isle, turning wetter and windier. through central and eastern parts, you will keep dry and chilly until you get through wednesday night and into thursday when a set of front rocks up and delivers quite a bit of rain there. these may well rock up in the far south—west. that could be really quite wet down in that neck of the woods. in between them, thursday, forget all about the sunshine. it is back to the milder phase of our time, so mild and really quite murky, i would have thought, between frontal systems, but it is milder. somebody could be looking at 14 or 15 degrees. a real mishmash of weather, but chilly and bright to start with, then milder and cloudier and better. see you.

this is bbc news, i'm martine croxall. the headlines at 7pm. donald trump says the leader of the so—called islamic state group, abu bakr al—baghdadi, has died after a military operation, by us special forces. a brutal killer, one who has caused so much hardship and death, has violently been eliminated. the us says al—baghdadi detonated an explosives vest, after being cornered in a compound, in north western syria. his brutal self—proclaimed "caliphate" lasted five years and attracted thousands ofjihadists from around the world. the government presses ahead with attempts to get a december general election. ministers will put a vote before parliament tomorrow. vigils are held in vietnam by families who fear their loved
