of a record crowd at wembley. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewersjohn rentoul and penny smith — stay with us for that. good evening. after some of the worst flooding in recent years, residents in parts of northern england and the midlands, are still being rescued, from areas inundated with water. some roads remain impassable and train services have been affected throughout the day. there are seven severe flood warnings still in place, meaning a threat to life, on the river don in south yorkshire, which burst its banks. one of the places worst hit is the village of fishlake,

where all day, rescue teams have been helping evacuate people from their flooded homes. here's fiona trott. the village residents are leaving behind. the roads in fishlake are like rivers tonight, unless you have a boat the only way to travel is by tractor. at times like these, the local farmers are happy to help out. it's how emergency supplies have been reaching residents, all of them alarmed by how quickly it happened. i've never seen it like this all my life. apparently it did flood in 1933 or so. i've never seen it this bad. some people here have decided to stay, but for one woman that's not an option. the prospect of being trapped could not be more serious. we only moved in five weeks ago. i'm waiting for a transplant. 13 miles away in bentley, residents are counting the cost of the clear—up.

all this has got to be replaced. diane cordon‘s family were flooded in 2007 and couldn't afford new insurance. they say they want help and the council isn't providing it. as soon as possible, we need skips. they say that the wagons cannot go through because of the water. cars are managing to get through, as you can see, so can a wagon with a skip on the back of it. what are we supposed to do with this? get on with it? leave you to it? what are we supposed to do with all this rancid, smelly, contaminated stuff? doncaster council has described the situation is highly complex and says it's been very difficult to predict and control future events. in derbyshire, matlock has been one of the worst—affected areas there. the woman who died after being caught in floodwater near darley dale has today been named as the former high sheriff annie hall. she's been described as a great leader who will be hugely missed. it will be weeks before this village

and others like it reach some kind of normality. in the meantime, the government says it's launched an emergency fund so local authorities can help safeguard people's lives and property. this is the village of stainforth, just a mile away from fishlake, and the police are going to stay here throughout the night. they've got to stop people from crossing that bridge. the river don is a tidal river and it remains dangerously high. fiona trott, bbc news, doncaster. i have been speaking to a doncaster east farmer who has been warned that his farm could flood tomorrow. asked him he felt there was any point trying to protect his farm. not really. there are some ancient flood defences around the village which

have repeatedly been asked to have been restored and preserved but no—one knows who's responsibility that would be. and then they are only soil banks and such like but at the moment they are holding the water out of the village. and while they are there i don't think we will flood. what more for next time would you like the government and various agencies to do? i want them to come and talk to us and tell us what we could and couldn't do and what they are prepared to do. right now we have a main artery drain that takes the water from the village but it is blocked. and it has been for some

time, probably. someone should look at that. little things like that. they don't matter so much to me but certainly they do to neighbours who are concerned because the water is seeping around them and normally it would go down this drain but it cannot because it's flooded. you have been a farmer for a long time, i guess. what are you seeing in terms of frequency of floods and other patterns of the weather is changing? it is more severe storms and things in short spells. we have had a dry summer and then a very wet october. and that is not normal, not a lwa ys october. and that is not normal, not always normal. and these 24—hour continuous rains are very rare stop oi’ continuous rains are very rare stop or have been in the past. nancy

fielder is the everton editor of the sheffield style. there is some frustration at the level of a response on the national scale of what the council can do. but that is understandable. if your houses under underwater you will be frustrated and asked king who could help you and asked king who could help you and who can give immediate response. emergency services have been fantastic but they are limited in what they can do. there are fewer of them than there were ten years ago and it is challenging for everybody, honestly. i think we can show your latest front page and how you have reflected this story. the day sheffield came together to keep city safe. what is the extent of the damage in the city? in sheffield, and it was not as bad and most of sheffield as it is now and as it was yesterday in a large part of doncaster and derbyshire. in sheffield, the roads, many roads became rivers, it was that simple.

people had to sleep overnight in the shopping centre. it was an awful situation and there were many people who spent most of the night working to help their neighbours or to save their own homes, with buckets and mops against the water getting in. overall, sheffield has rallied and managed to get back on its feet and the flood defences put in after the last awful flood of 2007, in large did makea last awful flood of 2007, in large did make a really big difference. so asa did make a really big difference. so as a reporter back in 2007, i went into the stadium when it was com pletely into the stadium when it was completely underwater and sheffield wednesday, although the water came close, they didn't reach there and we played at home today which is great. the shopping centre last time was completely underwater and a lot of the shops and the central area of the shopping centre you just could not see through the water. again, it did not reach inside but it did come

very close. in sheffield it was awful. awful right through the night and there were many scared people but it was not as bad as it could be and certainly not as bad before the flood defences went in. in doncaster east, your house is underwater and frustrated. you cannot get back home. and it took years sometimes for people to get into the house last time. once gets into the floors in the plaster of your walls, it is a really long time to dry out and start again and then get back to where you were and move back in. this is not days or weeks, i'm afraid. it's been a busy day on the election campaign trail, with the main parties unveiling new policy pledges. the conservatives have announced plans to train more gps, while labour and the liberal democrats are focussing on more support for childcare. here's our political correspondent, iain watson. it's enough to raise

your blood pressure. you know what it's like. try to get a non—urgent appointment with your doctor and you can wait days, sometimes more than a week. today, the conservatives promised an injection of more gps into the health service in england by 2025. the package will deliver 6000 more doctors in primary care and that will lead to 50 million more appointments. i know how frustrating it is when you cannot get a gp appointment fast enough. but hang on — what happened to the 5000 gps the conservatives promised at the 2015 election? that target has not been reached. the reality will be seeing these delivered on. whichever government we have it a few weeks' time, we need to recognise the stressed state of general practice and we need them to recognise that these promises are solid and should be delivered on and they should be delivered on swiftly. labour claim public services

have got worse since the conservatives came to power. jeremy corbyn was at a children's arts project in leeds but says many facilities have closed in recent years. he is pledging to set up 1000 preschool sure start centres and extending entitlement to childcare. he says we will be told how this will be paid for later in the campaign. we are determined to open children's centres so that sure start can be a reality, as it was in the past for so many of our children. all of our funding commitments will be clearly there in the grey book that will be published alongside our manifesto. not to be outdone, at a rally in london the lib dem leader had her own offer on childcare. a liberal democrat government will provide working parents with free, high—quality childcare from when their child is nine months old until their first day at school. there has not been too much talk of the b word for the politicians today although "stop brexit" is part of the official lib dem campaign slogan and jo swinson has tried to convince us — and, indeed, some of her own party members —

that she has a much broader agenda. usually at elections politicians never miss the opportunity to kiss a baby. today, though, it is the parents who are being love bombed — but high—quality childcare does not come cheap. certainly whoever is in power will have a struggle between making sure the funding rate is high enough that providers can deliver the high—quality care that they want to but at the same time keep control of the overall cost. there is clearly an appetite for policies other than brexit on the political menu. today, there was plenty of sweeteners for the voters. but there is still no such as a free lunch. in the run—up to polling day we'll be bringing you an essential guide to the various campaigns in a daily electioncast. starting on monday night, adam fleming and the bbc‘s politics team provide a round—up of the day's events and will look at the twists and turns of the campaign so far. watch it here on the bbc news channel or listen to it on bbc sounds app. now, the annual royal british legion festival of remembrance has been taking place this evening, in the presence of her majesty

the queen and members of the royal family. our correspondent simonjones has been watching the festival and is with me now. can you describe what you have seen tonight? it an is annual event and there is a lot of ceremony, moments of testimony and moments of quiet contemplation and also a lot of entertainment. taking a look at the pictures you can see this is the culmination of it when the poppies are released from the roof and they all come down. it is a moment that makes people think. the theme this year is remembering together full a focus in particular on the year 191m because we are 75 years on from then on that was the year when there were crucial battles in the second world war including the d—day landings. a focus on the and how countries come together. 13 different nations, allies involved in the d—day landings and the idea, to give you an example of how these countries still work together and how that

very much shapes the modern world. one of them to perform at the event is colin succarieh, the chelsea pensioner who unfortunately britain's got talent. # where are the boys of the old day # who fought with a side—by—side # shoulder to shoulder, blade by blade # fought till they fell and died at x0 who till they fell and died at xo who was with the queen and the royal box? i think the queen enjoyed that. a night for royal watchers. the focus on the veterans and the role they played but this was the first time we have seen the public that you can duchess of cambridge and the duke and duchess of sussex together since harry and meghan did that tv documentary where they spoke of the pressure they felt being in the public eye and prince harry talking about the fact that he and prince william were very much on different

paths at times and had good days and bad days. i think the eyes were on then. camilla was also in the royal box. it was doubt about her attendance because she has been suffering from an illness and had to cancel an event on thursday. she was there, the prime minister was there and there were many things for people to think about in the quiet moments of reflection. a busy couple of days ahead. tomorrow is remembrance sunday at the cenotaph. one of the key people there will be a veteran, 104 years old, who fought in the second world war. his father was killed in the first wall wall. there will be a reef laid by the ambassadorfrom there will be a reef laid by the ambassador from the paul for the first time to mark upon the things that the gurkhas have done for the british army over the years and then on monday, armistice day. it will be the 100 years since we first had the two minutes silence. and what the royal legion is saying is that they are asking people to put aside their

mobile phones, put away the lap tops and any sort of distraction, really appreciate the silence and take a moment away from technology and the pressures of modern life and think about the sacrifice that people have made over the years. the headlines on bbc news: the environment agency says flooding in parts of south yorkshire still poses a risk to life, even though water levels are expected to drop. the conservatives lay out plans to train and employ thousands more gps, despite failing to meet a previous recruitment target. labour and the liberal democrats promise to fund more hours of free child care, but providers express scepticism over funding. sport and time for a full round up from the bbc sport centre. good evening. wembley stadium set a new attendance record for an england women's game tonight, but a last minute goal saw

phil neville's lionesses lose 2—1 in their friendly with germany — extending their run to just one win in seven. these fans braved the damp and drizzly conditions, hoping to witness a bit of history as the lionesses walked out of wembley for only the second time. a sold—out game and an expected crowd. however, an early goal from the german captain threatened to dampen spirits. since the world cup semi—finals england have been suffering from somewhat of a hangover. paris could not find the tonic from the spot. on the big stage, england needed a big player. step up ellen white. back from injury and back on the scoresheet. the world cup's joint top scorer picking up where she left. a cheer from more than 77,000 fans, a new record for an england women's football game in this country. but

with a draw on the horizon, germany scored a late winner, leaving england crust and were just one win in seven. —— crust. off the pitch are delivered, 77,000 fans braving the wet weather to come and watch england play. on the pitch, it was another lacking performance from the lionesses. questions will be asked about the direction of this team moving forward. jo currie, bbc news, wembly. leicester are up to second in the premier league after beating arsenal by two goals to nil. jamie vardy‘s 11th goal of the season put the home side on their way. and james maddison clinched the victory as he added a second, making it a fourth consecutive premier league wins for leicester. a great victory for us against players that can really hurt you. la cazette, players that can really hurt you. lacazette, of ian, top, top players.

but we were able to manage that throughout and, like i say, play some grateful all. awesome. chelsea are third after beating crystal palace 2—0. tammy abraham scored his 10th league goal of the season in the 52nd minute, before christian pulisic sealed all three points for frank lampard's side. its chelsea's sixth consecutive premier league win, moving them above manchester city who play the leaders liverpool tomorrow. there were wins for burnley, newcastle, and everton. and sheffield united are fifth after a draw at spurs. edinburgh's two managerless clubs had big wins. hibs went to stjohnstone and beat them 4—1. it was just their second league victory of the season, as it was for hearts at home to bottom club st mirren. elsewhere, aberdeen won at ross county and kilmarnock and hamilton drew. saracens played their first game since being docked 35 points and handed a £5 million fine for breaching the premiership salary cap.

they were greeted with some boos by the crowd at gloucester and a few cries of "cheat". but it didn't seem to affect them. nick tompkins ran in the first of their two tries as they won 21—12. england's women began their autumn internationals with an impressive win over france. they had to come from behind, but eventually found their form to win 20—10. sarah hunter crashing over for the second time to give the roses the lead going into the second half. world player of the year emily scarratt cemented the win with a penalty kick. britain's olivia breen won bronze in the t38 long jump at the world para—athletics championships in dubai. the 23—year—old from wales who won the title in london two years ago, recorded a bestjump of 4.93 metres. that put her 38 centimetres behind newly crowned champion luca ekler of hungary, who set a new championship record.

that's all the sport for now. thank you very much. india's prime minister, narendra modi, has welcomed the supreme court's decision to award a bitterly disputed religious site in the northern town of ayodyha to hindus. the ruling rejected a claim to the land made by muslim plaintiffs — clearing the way for a hindu temple to be built on the site where the babri mosque stood for hundreds of years before it was destroyed by hindu extremists in 1992. earlier i spoke to ravi agrawal, the managing editor of foreign policy magazine. he explained just how significant this verdict is, given the contentious nature of the case. well, this is immensely significant, not only because it is arguably the world's most contentious property dispute in one of the longest—running as well, but also because it involves religious sentiment in a country like india,

which are secular constitutionally, but four years has seen tensions between hindus and muslims. and what this decision means now is there is legally some closure, at least, to the long—standing question of whether hindus can build a temple to the hindu god rama at the sight of a mosque that was demolished in 1992. this ruling now will allow hindus to build the temple they wanted to build the temple they wanted to build for so long because they claim that the god ran was born at the very site thousands of years ago. and party of narendra modi had included a pledge to build this temple to the god ram in their campaign manifesto in the recent elections in may. they will move very quickly to construct this temple. and that'll have immense ramifications well. remember this is an issue that has led to riots in

india in1992 an issue that has led to riots in india in 1992 when this mosque was torn down 2000 people were killed, eventually, in riots across the country. so it's highly contentious. on the point to make today is that, in part because of government claim downs and security being ramped up, there have so far been no clashes. so that, at the very least, is a good thing. there is one part in this which will be potentially deeply troubled, the muslim plaintiffs who saw their mosque torn down in 1992. how are their sensitivities managed to ensure there isn't an increase in religious tension was yellow well, that's the biggest question, really. tension was yellow well, that's the biggest question, reallylj tension was yellow well, that's the biggest question, really. ithink most commentators and observers are quite rightly calling for no triumphalism on the part of hindus as they mark this very important moment for them. and, meanwhile, as they mark this very important moment forthem. and, meanwhile, i thinkjust maintaining the peace across the board, maintaining

discourse is very important in the coming days. there is a separate case about whether the 1992 tearing down of the mosque was illegal or not and it has been ruled as illegal. but who should be punished for that and that is a separate case that may end up bringing some more closure. but for muslims, ithink, this comes amid a climate where they feel persecuted, where they feel that their rights are often questioned. as the bbc has been reporting for quite a while now, there have been lynchings of muslims, muslims often feel that they are second—class citizens, to some extent. those are all things that will need to be kept in mind. but really, i think, this moment is very important for both sides to walk away from this calmly. this, after all, is the highest court in the land that has made a decision. it will have to be abided by in that there is no other recourse. ravi

agrawal, the managing editor of foreign policy magazine. bushfires in southeastern australia have left at least three people dead — with officials saying the number of casualties is expected to rise. thousands in new south wales have been forced to flee their homes while firefighters work to tackle the blazes — now into their second day. ceremonies have been taking place in germany, to mark 30 years since the fall of the berlin wall, a potent symbol of the cold war divide, between east and west. the chancellor angela merkel, who grew up in east germany, said the anniversary should be a call for europeans, to stand up for freedom, tolerance and human rights. jenny hill reports from berlin this city set the world alight 30 years ago. tonight, berlin is still on fire. cheering. the wall was loathed, feared, resisted. in the end, it couldn't hold them back.

cornelia was 11 when communist east germany came tumbling down. i remember also when we could go to the west part, the smelling. i will never forget about the smelling in the shops because it was such an amazing smell, i never had before. in 1961, the world looked on as brick by brick east berlin became a prison, its citizens sealed off from friends and family in the west, trapped in an oppressive communist regime. monika was among them. the wall, she told us, tore her family apart. she never knew her grandfather, who lived in the west. by the time the wall fell, he was dead. angela merkel, leading commemorations today, also grew up behind the iron curtain. it shaped her politics, her aversion to borders and walls.

but even she admits divisions remain between the old east and west. the revolution was astonishingly bloodless. this, many declared, the birth of a new world order, one which some warn is at risk today. translation: the values upon which europe is founded — freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law, the preservation of human rights. they absolutely cannot be taken for granted and must constantly be defended. for germany, this is a bittersweet day. a commemoration of hardship endured, a celebration of freedom won, but a chance too to reflect on new divisions. but tonight, lit up with celebration, berlin will simply remember the day so many never dared to hope would come. jenny hill, bbc news, berlin. now it's time for a look

at the weather with nick miller. high there. it has been another wet day for some of us. a cold and frosty start of the weekend but the rain has been falling in northern ireland, around 40 millimetres in some spots here. it is notjust rain. we have seen some snow into the welsh hills. more of us have had oui’ the welsh hills. more of us have had our first snow of the season. of course it is the effects of recent rain still causing major flooding across parts of south yorkshire and derbyshire in particular. head to the website for details of the flood warnings and weather warning ‘s as well. as you can see, outbreaks of rain with hill snow in their across parts of england and wales. very relu cta nt to parts of england and wales. very reluctant to clear away. slowly slipping south—west was as the no clear zone. there is goes for much of england. a frost here, a risk of ice, especially in northern ireland where it has been so wet today. temperatures holding up to the south we have still got the damp weather. most of this area of low pressure,

slowly pulling way southwards. then for tomorrow there is a gap or —— between weather systems. there are more coming in from the west lead in the day. could be quite damp across parts of southern england and south wales to start the day tomorrow. fog patches around as well. let's get rid of that rain. by the odd shower around the moray firth, for most of us around the moray firth, for most of us remembrance sunday is going to be a dry day. plenty of afternoon sunshine. it is technically chilly but where you are getting rid of today's rain and snow, replacing it with sunshine tomorrow, it will feel a bit better. but then be aware rain coming back to northern ireland into the evening. this weather system is at least moving across the uk as we go through the night and into the morning. some snow, high parts of the pennines, more especially north of the central belt and for highland scotla nd of the central belt and for highland scotland the temperatures, a bit as in i goes on. why tricky first thing monday morning north of the central belt. elsewhere we get some blustery showers following the wet weather. some sunshine in between the showers. the most frequent to the

north—west, there will be a chilly wind around on monday. it will feel a bit colder. still quite blustery on tuesday as well. still some bands of wet weather around on tuesday. low pressure is still close by. by the end of tuesday we will have another gap between weather systems, but then there are more weather fronts going to be coming in from the atlantic stop some rain at times again on tuesday. a cold and frosty stuff for many of us on wednesday before it turns wet from the west. and for the rest of the week low pressure looks to be staying close by. as ever there is a forecast for where you are or where you are going available on our website and on the up. but for me, bye—bye.
