Stephen moore known as the voice of hitchhikers guide to the galaxys marvin the paranoid android has died aged 81. Good evening. The family of 19 year old harry dunn, who was killed in a motorbike accident, have arrived in the United States where they hope to meet the driver involved in the crash. Ann sacoolas, who had diplomatic immunity as the wife of an american official, left the uk shortly after the crash in northamptonshire in august. The bbc spoke to harrys parents during the flight, as andy moore reports. Ha rrys pa rents left Heathrow Airport on what has now become a transatlantic search for justice. Harry died in august after his motorbike collided with a car in northamptonshire. The car was driven by ann sacoolas, who left britain for the United States shortly after the accident. She has now issued a statement through her lawyer, in which she says no loss compares to the death of a child. Anne would like to meet with harry dunns parent so that she can express her deepest sympathies. But on this flight to new york, harrys parents, charlotte and tim, say that while they do want to meet anne sacoolas, they are not convinced she is sincere. We felt like we had the breakthrough, we finally had confirmed the immunity we didnt think she had has been confirmed, that she doesnt have it, certainly since she absconded back to the usa. The statement from her lawyer is promising that we may be able to hopefully get a meeting put together. Harrys father said he was still trying to digest the news. Im still unsure, if im honest. Im more shocked, but hopeful that something can come of this. On wednesday, donald trump made the death of harry dunn a president ial matter, suggesting he would talk to anne sacoolas. Since then nothing much has happened to persuade her to return to the uk, even though the Foreign Office has said she no longer has diplomatic immunity. Tim and charlotte say they did not want to come to new york, but they say they will do anything for harry, and would go any distance to honour him. Andy moore, bbc news. And well find out how this story, and many others, are covered in tomorrows front pages at 10 30 and 11 30 this evening in the papers. 0ur guestsjoining me tonight are the journalist and author, caroline frost and the parliamentary journalist, tony grew. Kurdish forces say that the families of men who fought for the Islamic State group are among those reported to have escaped a camp in northern syria. It held thousands of people displaced by fighting across syria but there was a breakout after turkish air strikes took place nearby. Turkey launched an assault last week aimed driving out kurdish led forces from the syrian side of the border in order to create a buffer zone. From there our correspondent Aleem Maqbool sent this report. The anguish that only comes from loss. This brother and sister mourned their father who was killed in the shelling by turkey of their residential neighbourhood. The kurds here have already suffered so much, and every day of turkeys offensive brings new chaos. These were just a handful of the hundreds of women and children who as turkish attacks got closer today escaped a kurdish camp that held them. They were mainly relatives of Islamic State group fighters. The bbc team had access to the camp just last week, where they found amira who was brought to syria five years ago by her british parents. Her two sisters, brother and both her parents were killed in the final onslaught against is. My mum died, my littlest brother, my little brother and my sister. Her fate and also that of scores of female is members is now unknown. Its not the first massive Security Breach brought on by the turkish aggression. Five captured is fighters escaped from a prison here too after it was shelled. We found it abandoned, the remaining prisoners moved into other already overwhelmed facilities. The authorities here say they are already struggling with the resources to hold many thousands of what are among the most dangerous prisoners in the world from a so called Islamic State group. What they warn is that with any further destabilisation caused by this assault from turkey, many more could escape, potentially regroup, undoing the massive effort it took to capture them and take their territory back. Already, is says it was responsible for this car bomb that killed three people. The fear is far worse is to come. And the atrocities against the kurds here are now coming from so many angles. All the while, turkeys offensive goes on. This evening, a convoy travelling close to the border was attacked. And the number of kurdish casualties continues to mount. Aleem maqbool, bbc news, in North Eastern syria. The government says they have held constructive discussions with the eu this weekend but there is still a significant amount of work to do to achieve a brexit deal. Intense negotiations have been taking place between british and european officials in brussels. Our correspondent gavin lee says talks will continue tomorrow. Weve had roughly 1a hours of talks this weekend between the british Civil Servants and the eu side as well. Michel barnier, the chief negotiator for the eu, has been in and out of those talks. Were told there were several rooms with a dozen on each side on a technical level. The terminology, weve been told, it was an intense technical discussion. Whats it all achieved . A short while ago Michel Barnier drove into this building. We think he was avoiding the press because usually he walks across and gives us a brief soundbite, nothing. Weve had what they call a read out from the eu side in the last half an hour. A quick update which says talks will continue but a lot of work needs to be done, according to the eus negotiator, to reach that deal. So just put this into perspective, to step back a second, we have an eu summit on thursday where there has been pressure from eu leaders, including the french president emmanuel macron, to say that if they want to achieve a deal, actually that has to happen anytime soon. In fact, the original deadline given by emmanuel macron, was to say that he wanted to know by two days ago, on friday, otherwise operationally there wouldnt be time, you hve to translate any documents into 25 different languages. You need to bring this, for example, to the german parliament, so Angela Merkels parliament are happy and that she comes back to the summit with a deal. Now, it looks like theyve got potentially one, two more days maximum to talk and whilst there are no official deadlines being set, i am told by the eu side at least, any time after the wednesday morning, its too late to get a deal by then. Of course, that leads onto saturday in westminster, if theres no deal by the morning of the 20th, technically, legally, a letter has to come from borisjohnson in the uk asking for an extension to the brexit talks. Borisjohnson has been briefing ministers this afternoon about the brexit talks that have been taking place in brussels. Officials have been meeting ahead of a significant few days ahead in both westminster and brussels. Tomorrow, mps return to the house of commons for the queens speech, setting out the governments future plans. On thursday, the eu summit begins in brussels the last such gathering before the brexit deadline. And on saturday there will be a special sitting of parliament to debate the way ahead. 0ur Political Correspondent nick eardley, said downing street was still preparing for britain to leave the eu without a deal. Were not totally sure at the moment, because so many of these discussions are taking place behind closed doors, away from journalists, with very little being said about the potential concerns that either side might have about the compromise which is on offer. And some are taking that as a good sign. Because what we have seen a lot in the last two and a half years is when one side has a concern, it makes it perfectly public that it doesnt like whats on offer. Were not seeing that here and some believe that is a sign that instead of airing public grievances, both sides are trying to figure them out in private and see if theres a way forward. Now you mentioned that borisjohnson had that cabinet Conference Call earlier this afternoon and his message there was that there is still a lot of work to do, a significa nt amount of work to do, was the phrase that number ten used. But also that the path to a deal is there. And yes, it might be littered with debris and yes it might be hard to negotiate, but there is clearly a feeling in number ten that it is still possible to get from the start of that path to the end. Im told by someone who was on the call that the Prime Minister did sound confident that breakthrough was possible in the next few days. Now that doesnt necessarily mean that there is going to be run that there is going to be one and there are many people around westminster who are perfectly prepared to pour cold water on the idea that this process could soon see a eureka moment that leads to an agreement. But i think at number ten there is optimism with a heavy dose of caution. Scotlands first minister, nicola sturgeon, has said shell ask the uk government, by the end of the year, for a second independence referendum. And at the start of a crucial week for the brexit process, the snps leader at westminster said he plans to move ahead with a parliamentary vote of no confidence in boris johnson. 0ur scotland editor sarah smith reports. The snp have arrived in aberdeen ready for battle. They want to fight a general election as soon as possible, and are preparing to try and make that happen. Daring labour and the lib dems tojoin them in a vote of no confidence against the government. Jeremy, jo, the clock is ticking. The snp is ready to act. Are you . The snp leadership hope an election will leave them holding the balance of power. If so, they wont consider keeping the tories in office, and will only support a Labour Government if it allows another referendum on scottish independent. Say this tojeremy corbyn or any westminster leader who is looking for the snp for support. If you dont accept scotlands right to choose our own future at a time of our own choosing, dont even bother picking up the phone to me. The snp are hugely buoyed by a new opinion poll that suggests 50 of scots now support scottish independence. But that brings a couple of problems with it. It makes it less likely a westminster government would ever allow another in the independence referendum, and it increases the impatience of activists who dont want to wait for that vote. So there are demands here for whats being called plan b. Either holding an unofficial referendum, or declaring that if the snp again wins over half the parliamentary seats in scotland, they should start independence negotiations. It is unacceptable for us to sit back and accept that this unelected tory government is dragging scotland out of the eu against our will, and it is imposing policies on scotland. If we have a democratic mandate for an independence referendum, you can tell us, we are not having one. We need an independent voice, that is what plan b will do. It would make my life easier in the short term to tell my supporters what they want to hear, but i have watched brexiteer leaders doing that in the last three years and it doesnt end well. I have to deal in reality. Im determined to lead my country to independence, and that means doing it properly. An attempt to force a conference debate on plan b was defeated in the hall. The additional business falls overwhelmingly. For now it seems the party are prepared to bide their time, believing independence is in sight. But they wont wait forever.

Sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, heres holly hamilton. Good evening. Theres a new world record in the womens marathon after Kenyas Brigid Kosgei eclipsed the previous record in chicago earlier. She stormed to victory in the chicago marathon, knocking over a minute off the record set by Paula Radcliffe back in 2003 in london, and radcliffe was on hand to congratulate the kenyan at the finish line. Iam i am feeling good and i was happy because i was not expecting to run like this. But today i make wonders to run my best time which i could not ever run and i was happy again. The mens marathon was won by kenyas Lawrence Cherono but it was a disappointing day for mo farah as he failed to defend his chicago title.

More euro 2020 qualifying action tonight with a better result for scotland earlier. Theyve moved up to fourth in their group after a 6 0 victory over san marino at a rather soggy hampden park.

John mcginn scored his first career hat trick. While Lawrence Shankland and Stuart Findlay marked their first starts with goals and stuart armstrongs free kick added a late sixth.

Wales will play france in the quarterfinals of the Rugby World Cup but scotland are coming home. They lost an enthralling final pool game 28 21 to japan in yokohama. Japan will play south africa in the quarterfinals while scotland will look back on where it all went wrong. We knew it was always going to be a challenge, given the way that japan were playing, given our turnaround, but we had the team and we had the ability and the start of that game to go on and win it by the necessary amount of points.
