the england team is preparing for tomorrow's big match. will they lift the rugby world cup trophy for the first time since 2003? they take on south africa tomorrow morning and the queen has wished the players the very best for a "memorable and successful" match. what are you doing? giving the people they're money's worth. what are you doing? giving the people they're money's worth. felicityjones is reunited with eddie redmayne in the aeronauts, about the 19th century pilot of a hot air balloon. find out what mark kermode thinks of that, and the rest of the week's top releases, in the film review. it's five o'clock, i'm jane hill, our top story — nigel farage has
5:02 pm
called on boris johnson to scrap his deal with the eu or face a challenge from the brexit party in every seat in britain. speaking at the launch of the party's election campaign, mr farage said the pm should join "a leave alliance", and seek a free trade agreement instead. the conservatives have dismissed his threat, saying a vote for the brexit party could allow labour into government. here's our political correspondent, jonathan blake. thumbs up for brexit — that's always been his message, but nigel farage launched his party's election campaign this morning with a warning that it hasn't happened yet and, unless things change, it might well not. it is november the 1st and, yes, still we are members of the european union. yet more broken promises and indeed a breakdown of trust and faith, notjust in politics but actually in our entire democratic system in this country. the party, he said, was ready to take on labour and the tories
5:03 pm
and make the case for what he calls a clean—break brexit. first, though an appeal — to work with, not against, the other main parties. 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 this election if we could put this coalition together. but if it was done, borisjohnson would win a very big majority. and on that manifesto, we really could get brexit done, in fact, to quote a friend of mine, we'd become an unstoppable force. nigel farage said the brexit party was ready to stand in every seat in england, scotland and wales, if boris johnson didn't ditch his brexit deal and form a leave alliance. the chances of that seem slim. we're not interested in doing any pacts with the brexit party,
5:04 pm
or indeed with anybody else. we are in this to win it, and we know that only a vote for the conservative party will deliver brexit, only a vote will protect the union so we don't 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 borisjohnson that will stop jeremy corbyn walking up downing street on friday the 13th december. the brexit party's 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. to the country as a whole, what we're saying is, whether you're remain or leave, there is a route through for you by voting labour. for the other parties, it's one side or the other, it's very divisive, and one of the things we want to do is try to reunify quite an angry country. i think this is the way forward, but there's much more than brexit on the agenda, as you know, in this election, and i'm sure we will begin to move on to some of the other debates about the nhs, jobs, poverty, and all the other problems
5:05 pm
which the country faces. support for the brexit party is easy to find in places like thurrock in essex, which voted overwhelmingly to leave. but the challenge for nigel farage will be turning that into electoral success. farage. ijust think there is something about the man, he says he's going to do something, he generally goes out and does it, do you know what i mean? hopefully, it will do. i mean, we should have been out yesterday and now we're still in. everyone i talk to, near where i live, they are all going to go for the brexit, because they think tory government done wrong by not passing it through and to have another election, why? i don't see any discussion happening now, i see rowing, and i see lots of turbulence, and i see plenty of people in dire straits, and i see some bad times coming for this country at the moment. a leave alliance seems like wishful thinking for nigel farage so his party will prepare to put up a fight and voters will again
5:06 pm
have to decide. let's cross to westminster now, we can speak to our political correspondent, helen catt. that's quite a promise, the party could have 500 candidates ready to stand. yes, if you want to stand a candidate in every single seat, he'll need more than that, 630. but it mightfind he'll need more than that, 630. but it might find out is it saying he has five ended ready to go. this is no small task for a party that has only been in existence for the last six months. he will be hoping that he'll be able to repeat some of the success he'll be able to repeat some of the success the party did see at the european elections, we have seen for success european elections, we have seen for success there doesn't mean it will translate to success here. talk to a little bit more about the governments response to the best so
5:07 pm
far because it seems hard to imagine that this going terribly far. the conservatives have said they will not form an electoral pact with the brexit party, they have been keen to dismiss the idea that nigel farage has said this is not brexit. they said they will be out of the customs union, we will be able to do trade deals. they've addressed the idea that there is a risk of splitting the lever vote and allowing the remaining backing parties through. that is something nigel farrant admitted is at risk. the conservative party chair said a vote for nigel farage means letting jeremy corbyn into number 10 downing st through the back door. he said it will not get brexit done and it will create another gridlocked parliament that doesn't work. helen, thank you very much. well, at 5.30pm we'll be speaking to professor matthew goodwin from the university of kent
5:08 pm
to try and understand the brexit party's strategy in this upcoming election, stay with us for that. the snp leader nicola sturgeon has said she'll make a formal request before christmas for a second independence referendum whoever wins the election. 0ur scotland correspondent james shaw is in glasgow. the significance of that statement today from nicola sturgeon. the significance of that statement today from nicola sturgeonm the significance of that statement today from nicola sturgeon. it has been a long—standing policy from the snp they would seek, they would request this order to allow a second independence referendum before christmas. what is new is the general election has interviewed and nicola sturgeon has made it crystal clear that it remains their policy, they want to go to the new prime
5:09 pm
minister, whoever it is, whether it isjeremy minister, whoever it is, whether it is jeremy corbyn minister, whoever it is, whether it isjeremy corbyn boris minister, whoever it is, whether it is jeremy corbyn boris johnson, minister, whoever it is, whether it isjeremy corbyn borisjohnson, and for that formal request then. we know boris johnson for that formal request then. we know borisjohnson has been pretty categorical and say he will not exceed to that request and jeremy corbyn‘s response is a bit more nuanced. labour has said it isn't a priority for them, it isn't something we can imagine in the early months of a labour administration but they haven't ruled it out. for nicola sturgeon, still the case that independence is her top priority. i have made pretty clear that section 30 demand will be delivered to downing street, whoever happens to downing street, whoever happens to be in it, before christmas. that is because it is vital that scotland ta ke is because it is vital that scotland take control of our own future. i future has been dictated by boris johnson who is in thrall to donald trump, that is not the future of the people of scotland want. we can have a better future by being independent and that is one of the big issues thatis and that is one of the big issues that is on the line in this
5:10 pm
election. it is interesting nicola sturgeon picks up on this issue about post—brexit trade talks that might take place with —— between the uk and the us. she says there were where is their concerns about the nhs, what impact american firms might have on the nhs and she also said she believed there were risks forfood said she believed there were risks for food standards, environmental standards and also workers' rights. you can expect there to carry on pushing those buttons particularly on the nhs, protecting it in scotland. james, for now, thank you. we are hearing the details of the first leaders debate as well as part of this election campaign. we are hearing the first debate is going to be on the 19th of november. as you can see there, it is going to run on itv and it will be borisjohnson and
5:11 pm
jeremy corbyn. that is as much as we know at this stage. that is the first debate that has been announced. a couple of weeks away, the 19th of november, is the first debate. if we get more details about that we will let you know. 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 at bbc.co.uk/news or on the bbc news app. essex police have started extradition proceedings to bring a 23—year—old man from ireland to the uk to face charges of manslaughter over the deaths of 39 people in the back of a lorry. two men have also been arrested in vietnam and charged with organising illegal emigration.

5:14 pm
you hear from the vietnamese families in vietnam, many of them, half of the migrants victims are thought to be from one single village. the wealthiest are managing to fly to china and travelling to europe over land. the least wealthy have to travel on the road from vietnam to western europe, it can ta ke vietnam to western europe, it can take three months. these families are pawning their houses to try to get their children over to western europe. not only have they had the tragedy of their children being found in this container truck but also losing their entire life savings at the behest of these vietnamese checking —— trafficking gangs. thank you very much. the headlines on bbc news — the brexit party says it will fight every seat in england, scotland and wales —

next 15 minutes. 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 paid their respects to one of the more than 70 victims of this horrific tragedy. they're laying to rest 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
5:17 pm
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. 0thers 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.
5:18 pm
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. 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. 0ur 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 24 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
5:19 pm
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.
5:20 pm
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 time is 5:20pm. a few other stories now. a postmortem examination has revealed that the british backpacker, amelia bambridge,
5:21 pm
died from accidental drowning after going missing in cambodia. officials said the 2i—year—old's death was not related to any other crime. the chief coroner says new laws are needed to ban the possession of extremist propaganda. mark lucraft qc has issued a raft of advice in the wake of the london bridge terror attacks, in which eight people died. he also said the system for triggering extra security measures was "too rigid". 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. the rugby world cup final between england and south africa is almost upon us. england fans are hoping that their team will lift the trophy for the first time since 2003.
5:22 pm
0ur tokyo correspondent, rupert wingfield—hayes, has been talking to fans who have been following the tournament, the first to be held in asia. the mists swirl across the slopes of mount fuji. this is japan's most famous mountain and symbol of the rugby world cup, and for andy, helen, scott and tracy, getting here is the high point of theirjapan odyssey. well, almost... we had a number of things to tick off when we came to japan and we only had two left on our list, as of this morning. one was to see mount fuji, done. the only final one to tick off now is watching england win the world cup final! and we have to wait till saturday. come on! cheering. andy and scott are two of the lions in pink, a group of british rugby superfans. for the last month, they've been crisscrossing japan, making friends
5:23 pm
everywhere they've gone. the minute we landed, i think, from the minute that policeman helped us get onto the limousine bus to right now, sitting here doing this, the whole experience has been absolutely great. crazy. it is an experience in itself, you wouldn't find anywhere else in the world, i think. we've just been wowed from the moment we stepped off the plane. but travelling to the other side of the world for a month is not cheap, so how much has all this cost? we're lucky, we're not getting divorced or anything yet! bear in mind that we'll have done just over four weeks, and then our wives will have come out for 14—15 days, as well. so... with tickets to pretty much every game whilst we've been here, including all the finals, i'd put it in the ballpark of about 8000—9000. has it been worth it? 100%. every penny. every single penny, yeah. as england and south africa make their final preparations for saturday's final, only one question now remains. england have to be the favourites, surely?
5:24 pm
um, you'd like to think so, yeah, on the performance they gave against the all blacks, definitely. but, you know, never, never disrespect the south africans not to put a good performance out on the day. awesome! whatever the result on saturday, for the 500,000 rugby fans who've come here, and forjapan, this rugby world cup has been a huge win. it's nearly as good as when we're going to be in that stadium in yokohama on saturday. come on, england! rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news, on the slopes of mount fuji. here, the queen has sent her best wishes to the england rugby team ahead of tomorrow's final. in a letter, which prince harry will present to the team in japan, her majesty writes "your performances "during the tournament have delighted supporters "and inspired many people throughout the country. "i send my congratulations to the england team, "management and support staff on reaching the final, "together with my very best wishes for a memorable "and successful match".

5:26 pm
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
5:27 pm
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 bet 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. time for a look at the weather. it's probably best to stay indoors tomorrow because the weather outside is not going to be great. in fact,
5:28 pm
an autumn gale is impending, rain and wind expecting to sweep across southern parts of the uk tomorrow. starting in the early hours of sunday and the met office has issued a warning for high winds and the winds could prove disruptive and even damaging. it's the big low pressure that's bringing unsettled weather in. in the short—term, its weight in places there right now, most of us will catch rainfall during the course of the evening and overnight. all eyes to the south—west, is this area here, this is where the swathes of strongest winds is, it'll be approaching cornwall and devon and southern parts of wales in the morning on saturday. the onset of the gale force winds and it will sweep across the south of the country. but northern england, northern ireland and the lowlands of scotland, some sunshine here in the wind won't be as near as strong sunshine here in the wind won't be as near as strong but batten down the hatches, it is going to be

the brexit party says it will fight every seat in england, scotland and wales — unless boris johnson drops his deal with the eu. boris tells us it is a great new deal, it is not. it is a bad, all the treaty and it is simply not brexit. a man faces extradition from ireland, as part of the investigation into the deaths of 39 migrants in a lorry in essex. the england team is preparing for tomorrow's big match — will they lift the rugby world cup trophy for the first time since 2003? they take on south africa tomorrow morning — and the queen has wished the players the very best for a ‘memorable and successful‘ match. let's talk about the latest sports news. let's start with a game that nobody wants to play at the rugby
5:31 pm
world cup. the bronze medal match for the losing semi—finalists. wales were heavily beaten by new zealand in tokyo 40 points to 17. that also marked warren gatland's last game in charge of wales after 12 years in the role, during which time he turned the teams fortunes around. i really hope for what we have achieved in the last ten or 12 years and we felt that we have earned respect and put respect into wales as an international team. that they continue, the new coaches continue to build on that because i think what we've done and what we've achieved, it would break my heart if, you know, wales went back into the doldrums, i think. so one more match to play at the world cup, tomorrow's final in yokohama between england and south africa. jonny wilkinson won
5:32 pm
the trophy with his drop goal in 2003 and was also a losing fianlist against south africa in 2007. he was at engliands final training session today, he's worked with the team on a consultancy basis and was giving some tips to the kickers inclduing the skipper 0wen farrell. wilkinson says how they have recovered from their semifinal victory against the all blacks will be key. physically i think they can recover no problem and their cousin at the skate. in the knowledge and everything —— their fitness is great. mentally and emotionally, just to accept that yes, it was a phenomenal game, but it is done now and it is almost that you start again. and you start again and when you have nothing to compare it to there is nothing no such thing as complacency, you can prepare when the for this one game.
5:33 pm
granit xhaka has been left out of the arsenal squad for tomorrow's match against wolves. he swore at fans after being sustituted in their 2—2 draw with crystal palace last weekend. in a statement he said that repeated threats to his wife and daughter had pushed him to "boiling point" and though he knows he acted "disrespectfully", he says that he had been "hurt deeply" by comments made on social media and at matches. he was also left out of the midweek league cup tie against liverpool. liverpool managerjurgen kjopp has attacked the fixture schedule which leaves his players facing 17 matches in the next nine weeks. liverpool beat the gunners to reach the quarterfinals of the league cup, but because of their participation in the club world cup in december, they don't know when they can play it. it is obvious that it is too much. absolutely obvious. everyone involved in the game with tell you that and you not as well, premier

lewis hamilton should win his sixth world title. we will get the latest in sports at 6:30pm and a little bit of rugby from japan. you're very busy, thank you very much. you're almost as busy as political journalist. we have the film review coming up at quarter to, but now we're going to talk a little bit more about politics. because there isa more about politics. because there is a general election next month. nigel farage calling on borisjohnson to drop his brexit deal and sign up to a ‘leave alliance‘. the brexit party leader says he is ready to put up candidates in every uk seat if mrjohnson refuses his offer. so what kind of a threat does the brexit party pose for the conservatives? with me now is matthew goodwin, professor of politics and international relations at the university of kent, and the author of six books.
5:36 pm
what do you make of them what you have heard nigel farage thing of the strategy? potentially this is an important intervention. nigel farage is trying to influence the direction of the selection. effectively trying to get as many committed no deal eurosceptics in the house of commons as possible. zeta borisjohnson eventually the softer brexiteer and commit toa eventually the softer brexiteer and commit to a more meaningful clean break no—deal brexit, whatever your preferred terminology and if you do not, then he will field candidates in every seat it up and down the country. and he has a 500, does he? the breaks party has been batting and fielding candidates that make the brexit party has been vetting candidates since the beginning of the year, so they do have significant resources behind them. it are they going to stand down against etihad erg eurosceptics who are saying that they are committed
5:37 pm
toa are saying that they are committed to a more pure from of brexit —— against the die—hard e r g eurosceptics. if they send out these candidates, what impact is that going to happen borisjohnson‘s fortu nes going to happen borisjohnson‘s fortunes at the selection? to that point, how what it is borisjohnson and team today? 0r point, how what it is borisjohnson and team today? or should they be, perhaps i should say? they are going to be worried because they will know that this is going to have an effect if it transpires that farage will stand all of these candidates. they are going to be, one hand, confident because they will know from the polling that we have had over the last month that that brexit party vote is being squeezed down. we now haveit vote is being squeezed down. we now have it at seven or eight or 9% in some of the pulse. i would suggest there are a number of conservative voters going away from the brexit party back to the conservatives. what if nigel farage had a good election campaign and begins to win
5:38 pm
those voters back? even if the brexit party were to get seven, eight, 9% of the vote, it makes a competition in those all—important marginal constituencies, especially those pro—brexit constituencies, all the more complicated because boris johnson really want is a clear run at which he can just take the seat and say, thank you very much, i have and say, thank you very much, i have a big majority, without this obstacle that mr farage is presenting. what do the conservatives say to the voters about this? and getting a sense that we are already hitting a line we will hear a lot. that is if you vote for the brexit party, you‘re letting jeremy corbyn in by the back door. we are going to hear that a lot. it has a return to david cameron‘s messaging in 2015, if you vote for nigel farage, you will get an ed miliband government. a government of chaos or perhaps even the snp and power with labour. it is something ofa power with labour. it is something of a return to that strategy. the
5:39 pm
