to the bbc news at one. nigel farage has said his brexit party will contest every seat in england, wales and scotland in next month's election unless borisjohnson drops his deal with the eu and signs up to a leave alliance. mr farage said the prime minister's withdrawal agreement with the eu is "simply not brexit." the brexit party say they have 500 candidates ready to fight the election. the conservatives have responded by saying a vote for nigel farage risks letting jeremy corbyn into downing street by the back door. our political correspondent jonathan blake reports. thumbs upfor thumbs up for brexit, that has a lwa ys thumbs up for brexit, that has always been his message, nigel farage launched his party's election campaign this morning with a warning that it hasn't happened yet, and u nless that it hasn't happened yet, and unless things change, it might well not. it is november one, still we are members of the european union. yet more broken promises, and,

indeed, a breakdown of trust and faith, not just indeed, a breakdown of trust and faith, notjust in politics but actually in our entire democratic system in this country and. the party, he said, is ready to take on labour and the tories and make the case for what he calls a clean break brexit but first, an appeal, to work with, not against, the other main party. the only way to solve this is to build a leave alliance across this country. that doesn't mean just conservatives and the brexit party. there are labour figures out there that i have spoken to who would more than happily stand in the selection if we could put this coalition together. but, if it was done, boris johnson would win a very big majority. and, on that manifesto, we really could get "brexit" done, in fa ct, really could get "brexit" done, in fact, to quote a friend of mine," we've become an unstoppable force". nigel fry said that the brexit party

was ready to stand in every seat in england, scotland and wales, if borisjohnson did england, scotland and wales, if boris johnson did not england, scotland and wales, if borisjohnson did not ditch the exit deal and the former leave alliance. —— and form a leave alliance. —— nigel farage. the chances seem slim. we are not interested in any pact, we are in this to win it and we know that only a vote for the conservative party will deliver brexit, only a vote for the conservatives will protect the union so we conservatives will protect the union so we do not have two referendums next year, causing the end of brexit and potentially the end of the union, and ultimately it is only a vote for parish banned borisjohnson that. jeremy corbyn walking into downing street on friday, 13th december. top targets would be labour held constituencies that voted to leave, but labour is focusing on its own offer, with something it claims for everyone. what we are saying is, whether you are remain or leave, there is a route through for you by voting labour, for the other parties, one side or the other, very divisive, and one thing we ought to do is try

to reunify an angry country, this is the way forward but there is much more than brexit on the agenda in this election and i am sure that we will begin to move on to some of the other debates about the nhs, jobs, poverty, and the other countries faced by the country. support for the brexit party is easy to find in places like thurrock, essex, which voted overwhelmingly to leave. the challenge for nigel farage will be to turn that into electoral success. i think there is something about the man, nigel farage, he says he's going to do something and he generally goes out and does it. we should have been out yesterday and i'iow should have been out yesterday and now we are still in. everyone i talk to, near where i live, they are all going to go for the brexit party, because they think that tory government done wrong by not passing it through. and to have another election. i don't see any discussion happening now, i see rowling, lots of turbulence, and plenty of people

in dire straits. i see some bad times coming for this country at the moment. brexit won't be the only issue on which voters make up their minds but so far, it seems set to dominate the campaign. and jonathan is at westminster now. i suppose this is an offer from the brexit party with an alliance with the tory party but also a threat. this offer from the tory party but also a threat. this offerfrom nigel farage is clearly designed to appear as reasonable as possible, and to put the higher purpose, if you like, of leaving the european union, over and above and beyond any party loyalty, but, this is a general election campaign, nota referendum. the but, this is a general election campaign, not a referendum. the idea of some sort of grand leave alliance looks like wishful thinking at this point, because boris johnson looks like wishful thinking at this point, because borisjohnson is not about to ditch the brexit deal that he has negotiated with the eu and sta ked he has negotiated with the eu and staked his premiership on getting through parliament, and labour appear in no mood from the top down

at least to do any deal with the brexit party either. so, nigel farage will have to follow through with stumping up the hundreds of candidates across england, scotland and wales, as you saw, promising to challenge every seat, and he will be taking on the tories but also labour, indications are he will be putting a lot of energy and the brexit party will be focusing on seats in the north of england and wales and the midlands as well. those are seats which the conservatives have in their sites as well, so there is a risk that both parties could see their support split, and the labour party will be able to come up through the middle and keep hold of those seats and potentially win some others, something which neither the brexit party nor the conservatives would wa nt to party nor the conservatives would want to see happen. the snp leader nicola sturgeon has said she'll make a formal request before christmas

for a second independence referendum whoever is the new prime minister. our scotland correspondent james shaw is in glasgow. james, what is the significance of this statement? well, she did spell it out, it was very clear that she will ask for that formal authorisation to hold a second independence referendum before christmas, almost an early christmas present for whoever is the new prime minister of the united kingdom. the significance is it shows that the snp are determined to go for independence, they want to hold a referendum if they can next year, thatis referendum if they can next year, that is part of the election pitch. it is two pronged. on the one hand it appealed to remain voters, people who don't want the united kingdom to leave the european union, and, it intends to appeal to people in favour of independence as well, to hoover up all the voters in scotland, if the snp possibly can. here is a little bit of what nicola sturgeon said earlier this morning:

i have made pretty clear, sticking to the section 30 demand, it will be delivered to downing street, whoever happens to be in it, before christmas. that is because it is vital that scotland takes control of out vital that scotland takes control of our own vital that scotland takes control of our own future. right now our future is being dictated by borisjohnson, who himself is in thrall to donald trump, that is not the future. that is not the future the majority of people in scotland one. we can have a better future by being independent and that is one of the bigger issues oi'i and that is one of the bigger issues on the line at this election. nicola sturgeon also talked to this issue of the post "brexit" trade deal between the united states and britain, said that she was concerned about that, whatever donald trump says now, about the nhs not being on the table, she believes it will be. she also said she thinks there will bea she also said she thinks there will be a risk to environmental food standards, and also to work workers' rights. those are the issues the snp will be stressing through this

campaign. —— risk to environmental, food standards and also to workers' rights. it's just under six weeks until the general election and if you're unsure how to register to vote, you can find out how by visiting our website or on the bbc news app. the chief coroner is calling on the government to consider new laws banning the possession of extremist propaganda. his comments come in a report after the inquests into the deaths of those killed in the london bridge attacks. our home affairs correspondent dominic casciani is here. tell us more about the recommendations. 18 recommendations in the formal report aimed at trying to prevent future deaths, it goes to the home secretary, head of the metropolitan police, the head of mi5, a number of other agencies. three of the key ones: number one, he questions the criteria for protecting public spaces, saying the criteria are weak. what he means by

thatis criteria are weak. what he means by that is there is a secret test behind—the—scenes of what makes a crowd and space vulnerable to a terrorism attack, there have been concerned that london bridge could bea concerned that london bridge could be a target but nothing was done to protect it before the attack. if you remember, the three attackers came down the bridge in a van, killing two pedestrians and hitting others before stabbing people in borough market. number two, he before stabbing people in borough market. numbertwo, he thinks before stabbing people in borough market. number two, he thinks there should be a new crime of possession of terrorist material, this may come asa of terrorist material, this may come as a surprise to people. you can be prosecuted for passing on terrorist material, for the specific purpose oi’ material, for the specific purpose or possessing document such as a bomb—making manual, but pure possession of it is not a crime. in the case of the ringleader, he had an enormous volume the case of the ringleader, he had an enormous volume of material on his phone, mi5 knew this and there was very little they could do in the circumstances because they could not prove intent. the third interesting area, talks about a possible plan for instant reporting of vehicle rentals to security services, because the attackers rented a vehicle. he wonders whether the uk

could come up with a system between government and industry to instantly flag a rental with the security services, they know about that and they can tap into the database to see if this is a terrorism suspect. wider question for mi5 and also the manner in which the emergency services responded, all the agencies involved have until mid—january to respond to the coroner about what they will do to prevent further deaths. england's rugby team are a day away from world cup glory. they meet south africa in the final tomorrow morning, and head coach eddiejones has challenged his players to "inspire the whole country" by beating the springboks. jones has named an unchanged side for the big match, keeping faith with the team who crushed the all blacks in the semi—final. more on the buildup to that in a moment but first the latest on wales, who've been playing new zealand for third place. our sports correspondent andy swiss is at the stadium in tokyo.

the third—place play—off, never an easy occasion for teams after the disappointment of losing in a semifinals, but wales certainly had plenty of incentive. could they give their coach, warren gatland, the perfect sendoff? in the end, sadly for them, it was not to be, new zealand winning 40—17, to take the bronze medal. cheering it wasn't the finale they had hoped for but wales's fans did not seem to mind, high spirits and high hopes, that they could end their tournament in style. and also end an era, their coach, warren gatland, final game in charge, but for all the passion, there was a problem: wales had not beaten new zealand in some 66 years, and that record soon seemed in little danger. early tries from joe moody and then from beauden barrett,

the all blacks reminding everybody that for one more day at least, they are still the world champions. wales can battle the best in the business, and back they came. commentator: lovely try! a scything through to give fresh hope, but improved short lived, ben smith handed them a rather uncomfortable lesson. —— amos. smith handed them a rather uncomfortable lesson. -- amos. what a way to finish from the man who knows how to finish. 26-10 at half—time, surely no catching the all blacks now. on a night off farewells, it was soon the wales captain's, farewells, it was soon the wales ca ptain's, standing farewells, it was soon the wales captain's, standing ovation for alun wynjones, captain's, standing ovation for alun wyn jones, surely captain's, standing ovation for alun wynjones, surely his last world cup win —— last world cup game. josh adams, seven tries this tournament, one short of the all—time record, but new zealand were too powerful, and an emphatic victory was rounded off by ritchie mo'unga. and understated exit for the wales coach, a12 year reign, in which he

has transformed the team, ending in a fourth placed finish. all blacks we re a fourth placed finish. all blacks were outstanding tonight, congratulations. our boys never gave up, congratulations. our boys never gave pt trying congratulations. our boys never gave ' to congratulations. our boys never gave lay congratulations. our boys never gave up, kept trying to play some good by up, kept trying to play some good rugby in the second half. i'm pleased with that. disappointed, probably a game too far for us. wales head home with heads held high. for them and their coach, the night when there was to be no fairy tale ending. —— a night. it has been a tough tournament for wales, awful lot of injuries, and despite reaching the semifinals here injapan, they despite reaching the semifinals here in japan, they will despite reaching the semifinals here injapan, they will perhaps wonder what might have been, if they had had just a little more luck. thank you very much indeed. well, back in england rugby fever has broken out ahead of tomorrow's final — with bars and pubs preparing to open early for the 9 am kick off and stocking up on extra supplies

of beer, bacon and sausages for a world cup breakfast. danny savage is in leeds to see the preparations there. —— world cup breakfast. in pubs up and down england, the beer pumps are being primed. if england win the rugby union world cup, it will be a super saturday. the time difference between here and japan means this will be a breakfast experience. somebody will surely come up with a number for how many bacon sandwiches will be consumed. landlords expect queues at the door from 8:00am. busy, it's going to be busy, a lot of interest, a lot of phone calls, a lot of people interested, so we're opening at eight o'clock, busy, busy for breakfast and, you know, we have a big rugby union community here, we sponsor leeds university, we sponsor trinity, big links with the rhinos and the rugby league with the rhinos and carnegie, so there's a lot of interest. for england rugby fans, there's only one thing to be doing tomorrow — watch, hope and to be inspired. i think it's massive for the whole country, for rugby, sort of going from grassroots level

right up until the top, really. i think a lot of, like, local clubs are really getting behind the national team as well, and it'sjust really exciting to watch us do well. and for some fans of the union code, it will be their first sight of england in a world cup final. it's amazing, because it tells you what you could be when you're older, what position you could be, how good you are, and you get to watch all the other good players, you might meet up with them in the future and see them, yeah. do you think they'll win? yeah, they'll probably win. it's really special, because i've never watched a rugby final before with england in it, and i think it's going to be really exciting to see how they play and how they cope with the intensity of it. a number of the england players attended st george's school in harpenden — rugby is in the blood here, you better believe they'll be glued

to the tv in the morning. everyone is inspired by them, and it's great we've got that connection with four world cup finalists, so everyone is really aware of what they've achieved. every one of the england players started offjust like this. tomorrow, a sport with discipline and respect at its heart will be showcased. 80 minutes of play will decide if it's going to be disappointment or elation. danny savage, bbc news, leeds. well, many lucky england fans have made the trip out to japan for tomorrow's game, spending thousands of pounds on flights, hotels and of course match tickets. our correspondent wyre davies is with some of the fans in tokyo now. wyre! yes, ben, ifeel wyre! yes, ben, i feel welsh wyre! yes, ben, ifeel welsh fans commiserating behind me, but many more england fans celebrating perhaps prematurely, there is massive confidence that they can win

a second world cup tomorrow. a lot of them have paid a lot of money to be here, some for the entire world cup, so confident were they. we met a couple of guys who work here for early rounds, they saw the semifinals, then they went back to come back to japan for the final as well. many excited england fans, as you can see! it has been a wonderful world cup, the japanese have been fantastic hosts, 500,000 people have been here visiting japan to watch those games, but these england fans, asi those games, but these england fans, as i say, a very, very confident. one person i spoke to said she was offered several thousand pounds on the train for her ticket, but she decided to hang onto it because she was so confident england are going to win. again, it has been a wonderful world cup, let's hope these england fans behind me are going to bejust these england fans behind me are going to be just as boisterous, just as friendly and just as happy this time tomorrow night. the night indeed, thank you very much, where davies there. our top story this lunchtime:

the brexit party says it will fight every seat in england, scotland and wales — unless boris johnson drops his deal with the eu. and coming up — putting on her apron, the duchess of sussex drops into a unique bakery workshop. coming up in the sport in the next 15 minutes on bbc news, we'll have more from japan ahead of the rugby world cup final tomorrow, as england get some kicking tips from the 2003 winnerjonny wilkinson. the first funerals have been held in pakistan for victims of yesterday's train fire, in which more than 70 people died. many of the victims were pilgrims from the same area in sindh province, travelling to a religious festival. secunder kermani sent us this report. tears for the dead — mourners pay their respects to one of the more than 70 victims

of this horrific tragedy, a young father of five children. translation: i went into one room, there were two dead bodies. then i went into another, there were 15 or 20 bodies there. they showed me one — it wasn't my cousin. then i looked at another one, and i recognised him. this town has been particularly ha rd—hit. a large group was travelling from here to a religious gathering on the train. a number of other funerals are taking place pretty much at the same time nearby. it's thought that many more of the victims were from this area, but the authorities are still trying to identify their bodies. it's now known more than 70 people lost their lives in the fire on the train that was travelling yesterday from karachi to rawalpindi. officials say the fire began when a gas cylinder some passengers were using to cook food exploded. others refuse to accept that, blaming an electrical fault.

either way, many hold the government ultimately responsible. translation: what will they do, suspend the driver, arrest him? what's the driver's fault? who is in management? it is the railway minister. they should get rid of him, he should resign. there have already been half a dozen funerals in this town today, and more are expected. the prime minister has ordered an inquiry. people here want answers, but they aren't sure they'll get them. secunder kermani, bbc news, mirpur khas. a man has appeared in court in dublin in connection with the deaths of 39 people in lorry in essex last month. it comes as police call on two brothers, wanted over the deaths, to hand themselves in. our correspondent mark lowen is here. multiple developments on this

investigation today. yeah, the investigation today. yeah, the investigation is continuing to move pretty fast. we have heard in the last half hour that eamonn harrison, 23 from county down, is now facing charges of multiple counts of manslaughter, conspiracy to commit human trafficking, and conspiracy to assist unlawful immigration. now, it is alleged that he delivered a trailer to the belgian port of zeebrugge before it continued its journey to britain. he was arrested in dublin after a european arrest warrant. now, this all comes at the essex police this morning called on two brothers, ao—year—old ronan hughes and 34—year—old christopher hughes, to hand themselves in to essex police. they wanted on suspicion of manslaughter and human trafficking. ronan is said to have called in to police after maurice robinson was arrested last week. now, you will remember he is the man alleged to have driven the lorry in which the 39 migrants were stowed. the company that owns the trailer, global trailer rentals, said that

ronan hughes signed the papers for that rental, and both men are known to have links to haulage and shipping in the republic of ireland and northern ireland. two people have been arrested on suspicion of people smuggling, their identities have not been revealed. as for maurice robinson, he remains in custody facing 39 counts, including manslaughter, people trafficking and money—laundering. so nine days on from this tragic incident, police boat here and 6000 miles away in vietnam are coordinating to try to win it all the moving parts of this complex international murder investigation. argue very much indeed. —— thank you very much indeed. mps and peers say mental health legislation must be changed, to stop what they call the "horrific" and inappropriate detention of young people with autism or learning disabilites. thejoint committee of human rights says conditions in mental health hospitals across england inflict "terrible suffering" on those who are detained and cause anguish to their families. our education and family correspondent frankie mccamley reports.

the only physical contact jeremy and his daughter bethany had was through a hatch in one treatment unit. she has autism and was placed in isolation 2a hours a day, seven days a week. she was made to stand at the other side of her room when her meals were being served. she has to sit on the floor, three members of staff come into the corridor outside, almost as if they're expecting beth to explode out of the door like a wild animal. at that point, the door is opened, the food is laid inside, and they shut the door again. bethany, who we can't fully identify, was doing well inside an adolescent unit. when she turned 18, though, she had to move to a treatment centre for adults, where things turned from bad to worse. it's a unit that has no autism provision whatsoever, and once again my daughter is locked up in a cell that does not even have a hatch, i cannot hold her hand.

it's horrific. she is falling apart in there. the lack of human contact is damaging her already fragile state. she asked me if i could find her dolls that smelt like real babies, that looks like real babies, because she's lonely. that broke my heart. completely broke my heart. today a report from the joint committee on human rights says that seclusion and restraint is the horrific reality for too many young people with disabilities and autism who too often face inappropriate detention in brutal circumstances which inflict terrible suffering. the breaches that we heard about, whether from parents or from young people themselves who have been subject to detention, were appalling. the committee was really traumatised by the evidence that it heard. the inquiry is calling for urgent change to the system

and an ovehaul of the care quality commission's inspection regime. the cqc says it's been implementing changes but admits there is much more to be done. frankie mccamley, bbc news. the government wants to close a legal loophole that's enabled some drivers to escape prosecution for holding a mobile phone while driving. the existing laws are mainly designed to stop people making calls and texting behind the wheel. but the transport secretary grant shapps wants to tighten the rules to stop drivers filming, taking photos, or browsing the internet. he's ordered an urgent review and says any changes could be in place by spring next year. whirlpool has been criticised for the time it's taken to deal with potentially dangerous tumble dryers that have been linked to a spate of fires. mps on the business select committee say it's disgraceful that some customers who've been the victims of fires have been made to sign non—disclosure agreements to get compensation from the company. our personal finance correspondent simon gompertz reports.

i've got some washing for you. caught up in the four—year process so far of whirlpool sorting out its danger dryers, steviejo from west london battled to get hers replaced then found even the replacement was one of the models at risk of catching fire. it's scary to think that they've taken so long to sort this problem out. eventually, after hounding them, i received a free—of—charge replacement. i checked online to make sure that it wasn't on the recall list, after all the hassle that i'd had. lo and behold, it was on the recall list. this has been the fear — a spate of fires like one in london's shepherd's bush, blamed on faulty dryers. the brands affected include hotpoint, indesit and swan. the company revealed to mps in the summer that up to 800,000 could still be in use. so i apologise to you... in their evidence, whirlpool said

sorry to one customer they'd made sign a nondisclosure agreement, attempting to silence her in exchange for getting compensation. when it came to adding up the cost of everything, i felt like a criminal, like i were being questioned. gemma had had to get her baby and toddler out of the house when her dryer caught light. as i opened the door and saw the flames, i had to grab him and get out, and i had to get my son to help me grab my daughter out. i think it is absolutely appalling that whirlpool not only was responsible for fires in people's homes but then tried to stop them from speaking about it, because we all know that the most powerful thing in terms of getting those machines out of homes is others speaking about their experience, that is what encourages people to check their own machine. whirlpool told us, "we have resolved this potential safety issue which concerns tumble dryers produced by the previous owner of the company for more than 1.75 million people."

their factory near bristol is producing every ten seconds to provide the safer replacements it's now obliged to offer. that's under the terms of the full product recall which the government imposed three months ago. simon gompertz, bbc news. before the weather, the duchess of sussex has been rolling up her sleeves in the kitchen. in footage posted on instagram, the duchess donned an apron as she helped celebrate the opening of new premises for a bakery for vulnerable women in north london. the luminary bakery featured in vogue when the duchess was made when a guest editor of the magazine's september edition. time for a look at the weather, here's tomasz schafernaker. no laughing matter, it will be pretty nasty over the next 2a hours, this is a warning from the met office of high winds and potentially

disruptive winds across
