this is bbc news, with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. polls have closed across russia on the third and final day of voting in controversial parliamentary elections. a volcano has erupted in la palma in the canary islands, spewing out lava, ash and a huge column of smoke. after almost a week of tremor, small ones and big ones, the volcano decided to start today, without much warning. decided to start today, without much warning. you can see the eruption continuing live as night falls on the island — we should stress there's a two kilometre wide stay—clear zone now around that lava flow. the england and tottenham

footballing legend jimmy greaves has died. he was 81. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. russia's marathon parliamentary election is over, and the authorities insist it was transparent and fair, despite widespread allegations of electoral fraud. according to an exit poll quoted by russian media, vladimir putin's united russia party has scored a resounding win — but many prominent opposition politicians were barred from standing, with some even forced to flee the country. this report is from our correspondent steve rosenberg in moscow. there's something rather odd about a russian election.

polling stations turn into musicals. buses turn into polling stations. we found this one just outside of moscow. they were surprised to see us. and across russia, they have been voting for three days. it looks like a regular election. there are voters and there are parties to vote for, but most opposition politicians and activists — in other words, the kremlin�*s most vocal critics — are banned from the ballot. at polling station 475, a hooded woman was caught on camera apparently stuffing ballot boxes. when she had finished one pile, out came another. and so it went on and on. and here, someone is using a mop to cover up cctv but they forgot about the other camera that caught them pushing up the handle.

at the moscow call centre, an independent vote monitor says it's been made aware of more than 4,000 possible instances of fraud in this election. if you talk about standards, some european standards that was assigned by russia as well, russian elections are not free and fair when we compare it with the standards. russia's state election commission concedes there have been some issues at some polling stations and says it has taken appropriate action but it denies violations are widespread. the official view here is that criticism of this election is a western plot to tarnish russia's image. mark galeotti is a russian affairs analyst and author of "we need to talk about putin". welcome to bbc news, mark. it does

look as if vladimir putin's party will easily win this election, so why does the contest still matter so much? ~ , ., , why does the contest still matter so much? ~ , . , , , much? well, it still matters because this is not a — much? well, it still matters because this is not a total, _ much? well, it still matters because this is not a total, totalitarian - this is not a total, totalitarian enrichment, this is not like the chinese elections where he gets elected with 100%, but there is still some debate. there is room for opposition particularly within the so—called systematic opposition parties like the communists who have polled very strongly this time round, so, in some ways the importance of a russian election is not the result because the result will be whatever the kremlin decides it will be, it is how much effort does the kremlin have to put in to getting that. and this shows there is considerable resistance to putin's party, within the russian people. 50 putin's party, within the russian ”eole. ., putin's party, within the russian --eole. ., i. putin's party, within the russian --eole. ., ., people. so would you say that vladimir putin _ people. so would you say that vladimir putin and _ people. so would you say that vladimir putin and his - people. so would you say that vladimir putin and his party i vladimir putin and his party politicians are having to respond to the needs of the people in some way? absolutely, i mean the interesting thing is we know that the kremlin

polls all the time, it is very concerned about whatest people are think, not because of any particularly positive reason but because it wants to avert the kind of open basically rebellion that we have seen in neighbouring belarus, so, you know, whether it is in terms of the fact it is stepped up its repressive attempts to crackdown on the opposition, or whether it is going to be because it has to offer different sweeter ins to different elements, one way or the other, because the kremlin doesn't want to have to rule purely by an iron fist, it does still from the to look at what the russian people want. it’s a what the russian people want. it's a stranue what the russian people want. it's a strange shadow— what the russian people want. it's a strange shadow world, _ what the russian people want. it's a strange shadow world, isn't it, that you write about with this gap between what is genuinely the case, and what is out there for public consumption.— and what is out there for public consumption. yes, absolutely, i mean, consumption. yes, absolutely, i mean. and _ consumption. yes, absolutely, i mean, and again, _ consumption. yes, absolutely, i mean, and again, this _ consumption. yes, absolutely, i mean, and again, this is - consumption. yes, absolutely, i mean, and again, this is really i mean, and again, this is really because, in some ways, although it is made something of a swing towards the authoritarian direction this is still what you could call a post modern authoritarianism, it doesn't above all want to rule by force, it

wants to rule by control of the narrative, it wants to convince russians that although things may not be great, any change would be for the worse, and so far at least, putin has been successful about that. this election, though, gives us a few hints, a few signs that is is really wearing thing, that the patience of the russian people is beginning to wear out and that will pose a problem for the kremlin in future. 50 pose a problem for the kremlin in future. ., pose a problem for the kremlin in future, ., , ., pose a problem for the kremlin in future. ., . ., , future. so for younger politicians in opposition. — future. so for younger politicians in opposition, do _ future. so for younger politicians in opposition, do you _ future. so for younger politicians in opposition, do you think- future. so for younger politicians in opposition, do you think they l in opposition, do you think they have a genuine hope they will be able to widen the cracks, to get through, if not now, you know, in the foreseeable future? let through, if not now, you know, in the foreseeable future?— the foreseeable future? let us be blunt, putin _ the foreseeable future? let us be blunt, putin is _ the foreseeable future? let us be blunt, putin is 68, _ the foreseeable future? let us be blunt, putin is 68, and _ the foreseeable future? let us be blunt, putin is 68, and although l the foreseeable future? let us be l blunt, putin is 68, and although he can rule for years to come, constitutionally, in terms of the law, in terms of his own personal contusion we will have to see. —— constitution, it is built round vladimir putin himself. so time is on their side but also this is one of the importances of elections like

this, it does give that new generation of politicians a chance to cut their teeth, a chance to begin to learn the skills and build constituency, sure, this time round they won't get anywhere but the point is they begin to prepare themselves for a future election that might be much more open. that is fascinating- _ that might be much more open. that is fascinating. thank you for joining us. thank you forjoining us. let me bring you some spectacular live pictures from la palma, one of spain's canary islands where a volcano has erupted, spewing out lava, ash and a huge column of smoke. it follows warnings from scientists of the rising risk of an eruption after days of tremors, sparking the evacuation of people living nearby. the cumbre vieja volcano last erupted 50 years ago. spain's prime minister pedro sanchez is now on his way to la palma, instead of his scheduled departure for the un general assembly in new york.

a little earlier i spoke to jonas perez who is on the island — right at the scene. approximately 2.00 today the island started with a new eruption, the last one was in 1971 in the south, after almost a week of tremors, small ones and big ones, the volcano decided to start today, without much warning to be honest, because the tremors were not, not very intense and at the moment, i don't know if you can see the image, over there, it is still very much active. i mean, it is day number one, who knows how longmore it is going to be. yes, we can see some the image, i am going to ask you to move your camera, to show us some more of the picture there, may be tilt it down a bit. so we can see the scale of the

smoke and i imagine with all those farms, houses round, a lot of people will have been asked to evacuate? correct. i will say that the south section of the west side of the island, centre south, has been evacuated, has been evacuated, because the volcano's erupting in an area where there are a lot of houses, we were expecting to have the volcanic eruption further down there, that is what the tremor, the concentration of all the tremors were taking place, but then eventually, just happened right up there, right at the base of a massive volcano, already with this one, the eighth time it erupts in the last 550 years or quite a lot. are you still getting tremors, are you worried about more? tremor, they are still there. —

you worried about more? tremor, they are still there, they _ you worried about more? tremor, they are still there, they haven't _ you worried about more? tremor, they are still there, they haven't been - are still there, they haven't been above two in the richter scale? more, two, two—and—a—half, something like this, but, now, the most amazing thing which i never experienced obviously, is that the noise coming from the volcano, it sounds like, i don't know, 20 fighterjets taking off, right now, and it is extremely loud, it is amazing. i and it is extremely loud, it is amazing-— and it is extremely loud, it is amazinu. ~ ., amazing. i think that is proof we were really _ amazing. i think that is proof we were really in — amazing. i think that is proof we were really in the _ amazing. i think that is proof we were really in the middle - amazing. i think that is proof we were really in the middle of- amazing. i think that is proof we were really in the middle of the| were really in the middle of the action withjonas there. we just lost the picture but we have got it back. 0bviously, lost the picture but we have got it back. obviously, you, you are probably too young to have experienced eruption like this before, but for older people who remember, was it 1971, presumably, there is quite a lot of fear? remember, was it1971, presumably, there is quite a lot of fear?— there is quite a lot of fear? yeah, correct. there is quite a lot of fear? yeah, correct- the _ there is quite a lot of fear? yeah, correct. the fear _ there is quite a lot of fear? yeah, correct. the fear comes _ there is quite a lot of fear? yeah, correct. the fear comes from - there is quite a lot of fear? yeah, l correct. the fear comes from where the volcano is taking place, you see, because it is taking place in a dangerous area, i mean, you can see all those white little dot, those are houses and the volcano is coming

towards these area, who knows what is going to happen, because being a volcanic island, sorry, it is actually the lava flow is going to move in different directions, see? but right now the danger, and the worry of people is what is going to happen with their own houses, because i am afraid that many houses are going to be taken down, because of the lava flow and it's tragic really. of the lava flow and it's tragic reall . . ., ., of the lava flow and it's tragic reall . . . ., ., , ., really. yeah, and what matters above all, is really. yeah, and what matters above all. is peeple's _ really. yeah, and what matters above all, is people's safety _ really. yeah, and what matters above all, is people's safety and _ really. yeah, and what matters above all, is people's safety and what - all, is people's safety and what happens to their homes, butjonas, i am thinking, la palma and tenerife and so many island in the canary islands that rely on people coming in for their holidays so it is a problem for the economy in a bigger scale as well. problem for the economy in a bigger scale as well-— scale as well. yes, i mean, here in la palma. — scale as well. yes, i mean, here in la palma, obviously— scale as well. yes, i mean, here in la palma, obviously we _ scale as well. yes, i mean, here in la palma, obviously we are - scale as well. yes, i mean, here in la palma, obviously we are kind i scale as well. yes, i mean, here in la palma, obviously we are kind ofj la palma, obviously we are kind of finishing the spanish tourist season and we are about to start the

foreigners, orthe and we are about to start the foreigners, or the central european and english tourist season, and it is obviously going to have a knock—on effect this week, but on a larger scale, knock—on effect this week, but on a largerscale, in knock—on effect this week, but on a larger scale, in the next coming weeks or let's say months, it will be a massive tourism attraction for the island, so, taking away all the tragedy that is going to happen, with houses taking down and everything else, the bigger picture for la palma, is going to be positive, because many people come already to the island of la palma just to see that eruption. one of england's greatest and best—known footballers, jimmy greaves, has died at the age of 81. he was tottenham hotspur�*s record goalscorer with 266 goals. his former club said today they were extremely saddened to learn of his passing. greaves began his career with chelsea, before spells at ac milan, spurs and west ham. he was also part of england's 1966 world cup—winning squad and is one of the side's

all—time top—scoring strikers. andy swiss looks back at his life. he was one of the most natural finishers ever to play the game. perhaps even the greatest goal—scorer that england has produced. it's greaves! oh, and a hat—trick for greaves! he was devilishly funny as well, with his wit and his personality. so charismatic. but on the field of play, people will remember him most, those of us who are old enough to have witnessed his magnificence at times. he could score all sorts of goals. he was a beautifully graceful footballer and a wonderful finisher. jimmy greaves made his name at chelsea, before moving to ac milan in 1961. his european adventure was brief, and he soon returned home to tottenham hotspur, the club which would define his career. the goals kept on coming. his 266 at spurs remains

a record to this day, and he scored 44 in just 57 games for england. he used to say to me, you do all the running, i'll do all the scoring. and that's what he was. he was a great, great goal—scorer. and in time to come, with stories known aboutjimmy greaves, people will rememberjimmy greaves, because there's been nobody better. greaves was a key player, heading into the 1966 world cup but early in the tournament, he was injured. and although he recovered by the final, he was left out in favour of geoff hurst. a disappointment which proved hard to take. i couldn't force myself to join the festivities, because i'd built, in my own mind, i'd built myself up that i was going to be in the side and i was going to be one of the key people. and suddenly it wasn't there. this is greaves! after retiring in 1971, greaves struggled. alcoholism was followed by bankruptcy. but he battled back from both to reinvent his career on television.

good day! now, saint. what happened ? there you are, favourites to qualify... alongside ian stjohn, his show saint and greavsie was a huge hit with viewers. although the programme ended in the early 90s, the affection for greaves certainly didn't. and in 2009, the man who famously missed out on the world cup final at last received a winners medal. today, england manager gareth southgate confirmed that they'll pay tribute to him at england's next match, saying jimmy greaves was someone who was admired by all who loved football. the former tottenham player 0zzie ardiles said jimmy epitomises what spurs is. to dare is to do. while another great top goal—scorer, england captain harry kane, described him as a true legend. this afternoon, fans gathered at the tottenham hotspur stadium and gave their reaction. jimmy! absolutely gutted. just an incredible player, fantastic on saint and greavsie. i think a lot of us grew up watching that.

he'll always be remembered for| the great footballer that he was. his record, goal—scoring record, absolutely stands up against anybody. perhaps fittingly, spurs hosted chelsea this afternoon. there was a minute's applause, both here and at west ham another club where his popularity endures. applause. greaves said all he ever wanted was to play the game and play it well. at times, he played it better than anyone, and made it look so easy. jimmy greaves, who's died at the age of 81. it's the final day of campaigning in canada's parliamentary election ahead of monday's vote, and the latest opinion poll indicates it's an extremely tight race. the poll shows prime minister justin trudeau now slighty trailing his conservative rival. it gives the liberal leader 32%, with his conservative party rival erin 0'toole one point ahead at 33%. because of the covid pandemic, voter turnout is expected to be lower that usual, making it even more difficult to predict who will win. in either case, a minority government is expected, in which the left—wing

new democratic party may hold the balance of power. i'm nowjoined by david ljunggren who is the national political correspondent for reuters in canada. i know you have seen through many elections david, this is one where justin trudeau did not have to go to the country, chose to, do you think he might be regregt it? —— regretting it? he might be regregt it? -- regretting it?— he might be regregt it? -- regretting it? he might be regregt it? -- reuarettin it? ~ , regretting it? when he called they were ten points _ regretting it? when he called they were ten points ahead _ regretting it? when he called they were ten points ahead of- regretting it? when he called they were ten points ahead of the - were ten points ahead of the conservatives but they discovered to their chagrin early on the canadians were not in the mood for an election at all, and the conservatives and the new democrats both hammered him for what they called unnecessary $600 million election in the middle of a pandemic. from what we are hearing from the conservatives and the liberals it will be super super

tight, so as of now, the majority he wanted seems elusive to say the best. 50 wanted seems elusive to say the best, ., wanted seems elusive to say the best. ., ., ,., wanted seems elusive to say the best. . ., ,., ., best. so all about getting out the vote? yes. _ best. so all about getting out the vote? yes, now, _ best. so all about getting out the vote? yes, now, voter— best. so all about getting out the vote? yes, now, voter turn - best. so all about getting out the vote? yes, now, voter turn out . best. so all about getting out the vote? yes, now, voter turn out is auoin to vote? yes, now, voter turn out is going to be — vote? yes, now, voter turn out is going to be key. _ vote? yes, now, voter turn out is going to be key. in _ vote? yes, now, voter turn out is going to be key, in general- vote? yes, now, voter turn out is going to be key, in generalthe i going to be key, in general the lower the turn out the more the conservatives benefit, because their supporters are seen as more committed. we have had a record number of mail it ballots, 1.4 mail in ballots have been issued. the challenge with those they are counted at the very end, so it is possible that unlike normal election where you know the winner within three or four hours because they are quick at counting the votes it could be thursday before we know who won. we will hold other breath. something i want to ask you about. i think you have reached your fourth wave of coronavirus now, and, the issue of mandatory vaccinations, seems to be quite sparking quite a lot of emotion there.— quite sparking quite a lot of

hello, and thanks forjoining us. a true legend. the greatest english goal—scorer that ever lived. a charismatic warm man. just some of the tributes paid on sunday tojimmy greaves, the former england and tottenham hotspur striker who has died at the age of 81. around england, a minute's applause was held in memory of the man who remains the leading goal—scorer in the english top flight. his former sides tottenham, chelsea and west ham all paid their respects. greaves also scored 44 goals in 57 games for his country. well, on the pitch in the english premier league, chelsea have gone joint—top of the table after they thrashed tottenham 3—0 at the tottenham hotspur stadium. after a tight first—half it was chelsea that took control, with goals from tiago silva and n'golo kante shortly after the break. before antonio rudiger rounded off a convincing win. but despite that, manager thomas tuchel still thinks there's room for improvement. everybody will get better, i don't

think we see the top teams on the highest level, the preseason was unique, there are and will will be a national breaks, so, i don't think that we see the big teams on the highest level but don't get me wrong, we are competitive and it is absolutely necessary we get better, the first half is again proof of that because everybody will get better i am pretty sure. but manchester united had to count on their goalkeeper david de gea to beat west ham united. he saved a stoppage time penalty from mark noble — brought on specifically to take that kick. the match finished 2—1 to manchester united and sends them level with liverpool and chelsea. brighton are a point behind after beating leicester 2—1. plenty of football across europe on sunday, let's take a look at some of the scorelines. first of all in france, where paris saint—germain are in action against lyon. it's currently 1—1 with around 15 minutes to go. neymar drawing psg level. elsewhere on sunday there were wins for marseille and nantes, while nice and monaco drew 2—2.

in the bundesliga, leverkusen beat stuttgart 3—1, and borussia dortmund went up to second by beating union berlin. there were two 0—0 draws in spain's la liga earlier, while it's goalless just into the second half between valencia and real madrid. in serie a, jose mourinho's roma were beaten 3—2 by hellas verona — it's their first defeat of the season. meanwhilejuventus are on the hunt for their first win of the season they're up against ac milan — who have three wins from three. it's1—1 with about quarter of an hour left (morata fourth minute, rebic has just drawn milan level in the last few moments. italy's filippo ganna has successfully defended his world time trial title on sunday. the team ineos rider was last out on the course in belgium, pipping home favourite wout van art byjust five seconds and beating him for the second year in a row. britain's ethan hayter finished eighth.

a rain delay and some exemplary spin bowling from charlie dean helped england go 2—0 up in theirfive match women's 0di series against new zealand. after being bowled out for a modest 197, new zealand were heading for victory before the heavens opened in worcester. when the players returned, dean took centre stage with four wickets as new zealand fell 14 runs short of their revised target. ireland's hopes of qualifying for the women's rugby world cup received a huge boost as they beat table toppers italy in their latest qualifying match. tries from bibin parsons and amee—leigh murphy crowe saw ireland win15—7 in parma. ireland are now level with italy on five points at the top of the table and play scotland in their final group game next weekend. all four teams have won one and lost one games so far after scotland beat spain in the other match on sunday. that's all the sport for now. four space tourists have returned safely to earth after spending three days in orbit in a capsule operated

by the private company space x. they were the first all amatueur crew to go into space without a professional astronaut aboard. as duncan kennedy reports, their craft landed in the atlantic — just off the coast of florida. approximately 15 mph, when they touch the... this is the flight that's reinvented space flight. applause the spacex mission, coming down in the atlantic, is the first all—civilian crew to have orbited the earth. on behalf of spacex, welcome home to planet earth. your mission has shown the world that space is for all of us. they were led by jared isaacman, a 38—year—old billionaire who paid for all four seats on board. the four—day mission began last wednesday, reaching a height of around 360 miles. whoa! among the crew was a cancer survivor, hayley arceneaux, who made the most of the craft�*s uniquely large window.

we can see the entire perimeter of the earth, which is so beautiful! the crew did six months training, but it was the on—board computers that controlled everything — except the floating toy dog. i think the idea is that there is an awful lot that still needs to be accomplished in space. there's an awful lot of it. we know so little about it. there may be some really interesting answers to questions we have all been asking for a long time out there. spacex is run by elon musk, swapping astronauts for highly trained amateurs in a new world — an outer world — of space tourism. duncan kennedy, bbc news. leaving you with more of those live pictures of the volcanic eruption on the spanish island of la palma, in the canaries, magma spilling downhill towards a residential area and destroying a few houses. there's a two—kilometre—wide zone around the lava flow. evacuations have taking place since seismic activity started — there are no reports

of any casualties. thank you for being with us for our developing stories on bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with stav. hello there. we saw a reverse of fortune today, weather—wise. it was the eastern side of the country which saw the cloud and the showers. further west, we had the best of the sunshine. this week is also going to be a tale of two halves. we are starting the week off on a fine note with a ridge of high pressure, plenty of sunshine and it will be quite warm. by the end of the week, low pressure takes over, bringing a risk of gales and it will feel cooler for us all as well. eastern england continues to see these weather fronts through the evening and the overnight period, lingering around east anglia and the south. thunderstorms will fizzle out, but there will still be some heavy bursts of rain there. some heavier cloud pushing into western scotland, perhaps northern ireland by the end of the night.

but elsewhere, under clear skies and light winds, temperatures will dip into single figures for many with mist and fog developing. still quite mild in the south—east with that weather front — 13 or 14 degrees. this is the pressure chart for monday. we will still have the weather front in the south—east, a new cluster of weather fronts pushing into scotland and northern ireland as the day progresses, turning increasingly cloudier, breezy with a few showers. we'll continue with a few heavy showers in the south—east through the day. this also tending to fizzle out, but elsewhere, lots of sunshine. feeling quite warm, maybe 21 or 22 degrees in the warmest spots. now, our area of high pressure continues to build in on tuesday, so i think at this stage, it looks like tuesday could be the best day of the week, regarding widespread sunshine and also warmth. a bit of mist and fog to start the day, and then many places will be dry with lightish winds and some good sunny spells. but it will be breezier for scotland and northern ireland, variable amounts of cloud, even some splashes of rain for western scotland. so, the high teens here, but further south, 20 or 22 celsius. feeling very pleasant.

now we start to see some changes. by mid week, we will see this area of high pressure pull away from the south. a deep area of low pressure to the north of the uk will begin to exert its force across scotland and northern ireland. turning very windy here, with a weather front sinking into the south—east, so outbreaks of rain, followed by sunshine and blustery showers. it could be windy with gales. england and wales — not a bad day again, i think, for wednesday. we will see some good sunny spells around and it will be quite warm as well, but it will be breezier than monday and tuesday. and then, for the end of the week, thursday and friday, all areas look windier, particularly across the north of the country, where we will see further showers and it will feel noticeably colder in the north.
