Hello and welcome to world news today. The british Prime Minister has been meeting his cabinet and mps as he tries to secure enough support for his brexit deal ahead of saturdays crucial vote in the house of commons. Borisjohnson says theres no better outcome than the deal he has negotiated but he needs 320 votes to get it passed with only 287 voting conservative mps. That means he must persuade members from across the house to support him, including labour rebels, ex conservatives, and brexiteers in his own party. The deal would see the uk pay around £33 billion pounds in a so called divorce bill when leaving. Eu and uk citizens will retain their residency and Social Security rights. And a transition period, during which time the uk would abide by the eus laws, would last at least, until the end of 2020. The agreement would see the whole of the uk leaving the eu customs union, but there would be customs checks on some goods entering into Northern Ireland from great britain. 0ur political editor, Laura Kuenssberg reports. Thats not the real borisjohnson. Its a fancy dress version, a climate protester who had scaled the scaffolding around big ben. The actual Prime Minister is teetering on an even narrower edge, he has to take a leap not knowing if he will meet victory or defeat. Weve got a deal that allows us to get out of the backstop, that is abolished, and we can do free trade agreements as one whole United Kingdom around the world. Clearly, what matters is mps coming together across the house tomorrow to get this thing done. And ijust kind of invite everybody to imagine what it could be like tomorrow evening if we have settled this. But in order to get this deal, though, you have given some concessions, you have accepted quite a significant Customs Border between Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom. That is something you said you would never do, you said no british Prime Minister could do that. No, on the contrary, nobody wants to have checks at the Northern Irish border. So, what weve agreed with the eu is that temporarily, temporarily and by consent with the people of Northern Ireland, if there is stuff that is coming from gb into ireland or from anywhere else in the world via Northern Ireland into ireland, then, yes, there can be checks. But that, of course. And those checks can be levied by uk authorities. But that is very far from having a tariff border. By your admission, and its there in black and white in the deal, there will be extra customs checks and for some people, including your allies, thats just not acceptable, that puts the union at risk. No, there are no tariffs going from gb to ni. But there are extra checks. They already are, as you know. But of course it is also going to be superseded, as we come out, as i hope we do at the end of this month, as we get on to negotiate the uk eu free trade agreement. So, all these arrangements are in fact going to be obsolete once we do that big eu uk free trade deal. You hope they will be. You have made a compromise to get a bigger prize of the deal but do you accept that is what has happened here . That you have broken a promise he made to the dup for the bigger prize of the deal . Thats what they feel. Well, i think what you have is a fantastic deal for all of the uk. The deal brokered by brains in whitehall and in brussels contains a concessions from the eu and the uk. It leaves the future more open between the two sides, compared to the previous agreement, and in theory gives the uk more ability to trade round the rest of the world. But it does contain what could be significant changes to how Northern Ireland fits into the jigsaw of the rest of the uk, and thats not the only reason why the Prime Minister faces an uphill struggle to get this through mps. Hello, can i give you a leaflet . In wakefield, around 70 of people voted to leave the eu butjust like the vast majority of labour mps, mary cray here has no intention at all is backing mrjohnsons brexit. 0bviously off to london tomorrow. What do you think we should be doing . About the brexit deal . Renegotiate. She is one of many who would rather have another referendum instead. Ill be voting against the deal tomorrow. This is not what people voted for. People have told me they want their vote back, they want to vote on this deal, it is too important to be left to the politicians. Even though party bosses are trying to talk them out of it. On behalf ofJohn Mcdonnell. There is a clutch of labour mps whose votes might help the deal sneak through. Ive been lobbied this morning by John Mcdonnell and Jeremy Corbyn through ian lavery, the chairman, to abstain. I am a 100 leaver, and they expect me with a flick of a finger to turn around. No, im not going to do it. Even if there is a sprinkling of labour help, number ten still tonight needs to work to make sure all of their own side are lined up. Some of the most resolute brexiteers may yet hold out. I am very glad that we have had such constructive discussions, nothing is concluded yet. There is a good chance this will not pass. If it does not pass, do you still say we will leave the European Union at the end of this month . I think thats. I do. I think we should leave the European Union. Saying i think we should is very different to saying we will. We are, let me say, we will leave the European Union on october the 31st. Not all of his colleagues are privately so sure. Leaving in two weeks might seem very plausible this time tomorrow. But for now, every single minister has onejob and onejob only, to get this deal over the line. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. Pundits and politicians across the uk and europe are crunching the numbers to try and predict which way the vote might go. Ive been getting the thoughts of our uk politics correspondent rob watson. It is looking immensely tight. Thats the only question that people wa nt a nswered thats the only question that people want answered here. Is mrjohnson going to win, and will the deal get approved . I suppose the honest a nswer approved . I suppose the honest answer is i dont know. I dont think at this point that the Prime Minister knows, but certainly all the number crunching the bbc and others have done suggests it is immensely close. With just hours to go now and the clock ticking that we have heard so much about over the past few years, work in the Prime Minister, borisjohnson, past few years, work in the Prime Minister, boris johnson, do past few years, work in the Prime Minister, borisjohnson, do to persuade those undecided or wavering . Not much i think to repeat a central message. His message to hardcore enthusiastic brexiteers is looking may not think my deal is perfect but for Goodness Sake you better get behind it because otherwise who knows what might happen. You might lose briggs altogether. I think his message to those who are fundamentally immensely sceptical about break the altogether and think its a thoroughly daft project has large, at least you have my deal thats better than a no deal brexit and surely its best whatever reservations you have about my policy to get on with it rather than disappoint 17. 4 leave million voters. Thats the message and the central dynamic if you like. We will follow all the twists and turns throughout the day tomorrow. In barcelona there have been clashes between police and some of the at least half a million catalan separatists whove taken to the streets in mass protests triggered by the jailing this week of some of their leaders. As you can see here the confrontations became increasingly violent as evening drew in. Riot police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at youths who had set makeshift barricades on fire in the heart of the city. This is where the protests have been taking place in the city. Earlier, hundreds of thousands of people converged at the well known Central Square placa de catalu nya. That was a peaceful protest. But a very short distance away, on a main road, the clashes are continuing. Damian grammaticas reports on events earlier today from barcelona. This was an outpouring of outrage. Catalan independence supporters filling barcelona. Capping a week of protests following the jailing of the leaders of their movement to split from spain. Columns tens of thousands strong marching for the past three days converged on barcelona today. Earlier this week, they blocked the airport and set fires in the streets. The focus of their anger . Spains National Government and police. Hurled at them today, eggs, bottles and cans. Police patience snapped. Every day this week they have reacted like this. Police violence fuelling tempers on the streets. There have been counter protests. Tiny by comparison but a sign that not all catalonian is one to split away. They dont speak for the majority because the support for independence is not the majority. This weeks events have stirred passions in catalonia. Independent supporters want a new vote but spains government is not for compromise. Damian grammaticas, bbc news, barcelona. This is the scene live in barcelona this evening with those fires is still very much burning, those barricades set alight earlier and a very heavy Police Presence that we have in the past few moments seen a lot of people running and throwing things towards the lines of police as well. A short time ago spains interior minister had this to say about the situation on the ground there. Translation to these minority groups i want to send these message. We are going to apply this violent Independence Movement the penal code in all its force. And i remind him that this can attract the penalty of six years in prison. So far this week we have detained 128 people. Spains interior minister, Fernando Grande marlaska. Lets take a look at some of the other stories making the news. Lebanese riot police have fired tear gas during clashes with Anti Government protestors in beirut. Its the second day of demonstrations the biggest in years. Theyre angry at unemployment, high prices and the poor state of public services. In response, Prime Minister, saad al hariri, gave his partners in his governing coalition three days to commit to a programme of economic reforms. Floods caused by eight days of torrential downpours in northeastern ghana have left 28 people dead and displaced hundreds. Relief items are being transported 800 kilometres by road from the capital accra to the affected region on the border with burkina faso. Meteorologists warn the rains could last into november. Its 24 hours since turkeys president erdogan agreed to suspend the military operation againdst kurdish led forces in Northern Syria for five days. But today those forces have accused ankara of breaching the ceasefire. They say turkish air and artillery attacks are still being carried out against the border town of ras al ayn, as Barbara Plett usher reports from the turkey syria border. There is a cease fire in place, but not all was quiet. In the Syrian Border town of ras al ayn, the sound of artillery shattered the morning, sporadic gunfire was heard throughout friday. Kurdish forces accused turkey of shelling the area. The turkish president denied it. Translation i dont know where youve got this information from, but according to my own defence minister, there are no ongoing clashes. All of this is speculation and misinformation. The Kurdish Militia deeply entrenched in the city can adjust a day earlier, still fighting hard to keep it. Turkey says they are a terrorist thought and is determined to expel them away from the border for so what happens here will likely be an early test of the accord. What the americans brokered was a positive violence and it was enough or President Trump to declare victory he needed one. His decision to withdraw us troops has been strongly criticised as abandoning americas kurdish allies and paving the way for turkeys incursion. Weve all agreed on a pause, or a cease fire, in the Border Regions of syria. And it was unconventional what i did, i said, theyre going to have to fight otherwise. Sometimes you have to let them fight a little while you got to let them fight and then you pulled them apart. This was definitely not a victory for the kurds. And kara has agreed to suspend military operation for five days and to eventually make that permanent. It only if the kurdish fighters pull out and give up their heavy weapons. You cannot solve your refugee problem by making new refugees, by displacing people from their homes. So its really, really serious military problem which requires more, because the people have nowhere to go because the people are the local people of the region. In fact, the americans have accepted what the turks were traded to any region. Already, the human cost has been great on the some 300,000 people displaced. Kurdish civilians are wondering what will happen to them even if the fighting stops. President erdogan is insisting. Syrian government soldiers have moved into some of the other areas but mr erdogan says he would rather have them there then Kurdish Militias. Youll probably about when he meets syrias ally, president putin of russia, next week. Barbara plett usher, bbc news, at the Syrian Border. Stay with us on bbc world news, still to come.

We dont know if it was a rocket attack or a bomb blast. Local authorities of the number of casualties is likely to rise as people work to bring bodies out from the rubble. Theres been a surge of violence in the country in recent months. With the un saying it has reached unacceptable levels. Theres been almost 1200 civilian casualties in the three months to the end of september, about one and a half times higher than the previous year. Much of this, the un says was caused by an effort by the caliban to disrupt democracy. The report not only documents the harm to civilians by the violent offensive of the caliban to disrupt the election but i lets a pattern of threats and intimidation and harassment carried by the taliban against civilians and leading up to the elections. So far no one has claimed response ability for the attack. The taliban are laying the blame on the Islamic State group. Gavin has all the sport. Hello and thanks forjoining us. Excitement is building ahead of the Rugby World Cup quarterfinals which get under way on saturday. England and australia kick things off in 0ita, with england hoping to make it seven wins in a row over their opponents. Our Sports Editor dan roan reports on one of the most anticipated weekends of action in world rugby. Here in the south ofjapan the pressure is rising. The volcanic town of beppu, famous for its numerous hot springs, is where england have been preparing for a defining moment. Earlier they let off steam themselves here in nearby 0ita, where tomorrow they will play their first world cup knockout game for eight years. Straight through the middle. England go into the match on a six game winning streak against australia, but there are painful memories too, having been eliminated by them four years ago on home soil, and nothing is being taken for granted. We have the best eight teams now in the world playing four games, so we have worked four years to get here, we have done a lot of hard work, the players have been absolutely brilliant in terms of their preparation on and off the field, and we feel like we have prepared well for this game. But england arent the only home nation in action here in 0ita this weekend. Six nations champions wales are also in town and ahead of their quarterfinal against france on sunday. Plenty of time then for the welsh fans to make more friends in 0ita, having already tasted victory here earlier in the tournament. It is a huge game for us, there is no underestimating that. But we are confident. The welsh boys, what they have done in the past, they are not going to take france lightly, but it is a massive game and we cant wait for it. You are grand slam champions, you must be very confident of victory against the french. You never know how the french are going to turn up, do you . Weve got faith in the team. But its ireland who face the toughest challenge this weekend, taking on reigning champions new zealand in tokyo. But having beaten the all blacks twice in their last three encounters, the underdogs will believe they can reach the semifinals for the first time. The all blacks are always raising the bar and everyone else is chasing the bar and trying to get to the same height. I guess it is genuinely something we will find out on saturday. But the action starts here, 600 miles away where two world cup quarterfinals will provide a new attraction this weekend and with the losers going home the heat is on. Dan roan, bbc news, 0ita. The Bulgaria National coach Krasimir Balakov has resigned. He was in charge of the team for the 6 0 defeat to england in sofia on monday night which was marred by racist chanting from home supporters. The Bulgarian Football Association say he has left his role because of unsatisfactory results in recent months. The match, which was a euro qualifier, had to be stopped twice because of monkey chants and nazi salutes among the home support. After first saying that he didnt see any abuse, he later apologised to the england players. Lets have a look at of some other sports stories around.

Thank you two female astronauts have made history with the first ever all women spacewalk. Christina cook and jessica meir replaced faulty equipment on the outside of the International Space station, in an operation that tookjust over seven hours. More than 200 people have carried out spacewalks since the first one in 1965, but only 14 were women and theyve always been accompanied by men. This all female spacewalk was originally scheduled for march, but nasa had to scrap it because they realised they didnt have the correct sized space suits for the women. Donald trump has spoken to the two women. The call had a bumpy start, but he went on to congratulate the female astronauts. Station, this is president donald trump. Do you hear me . We can hear you. Thats great. Laughter. Applause. I was starting to get worried about you, youre in an interesting place. I just want to congratulate you. What you do is incredible. Youre very brave people. I dont think i want to do it, i must tell you that. But you are amazing people. And we, of course, want to give credit to all those who came before us. Theres been a long line of female scientists, explorers, engineers, and astronauts. And we are following in their footsteps to get us where we are today. Our country is very proud of you, and we are very proud of you. Millions and millions of people are watching you right now. But i will tell you, what you do is something really special.

Its been the longest and most expensive equal pay battle in the country, and the headlines would have you believe that the women won. Reporter Samantha Poling discovers that is far from the case. Tonight on disclosure, the battle waged by thousands of Council Workers for equal pay. We meet the winners. I can go in and get what i want, do you know what i mean . Never been able to do that, just go in and say, right, im paying it off, cash. And the losers. Theres people worked for 30 years and not even knew to put in a claim. We ask whether the unions did their best for the women theyre meant to represent. Women members. Have they lost out . No. Really . No. I dont believe thats the case at all. Well, thats not what they say. Well, they might say that, but i dont think theyre right. We investigate the secret deal done behind closed doors. Why are you making such a fuss about it . Well, because. The women arent. I know what the promise was. And ask why it has taken the council so long to do the right thing. Do you think Glasgow City Council failed the women . Yes, corporately, Glasgow City Council, as a body, undoubtedly did. Theres no question. Im on my way to meet a woman i havent seen in almost 15 years. Hers was a landmark case. It was the case that i think everybody was watching and waiting for. So it will be interesting to see. Find out what actually happened. That case was evelyn imries. A schooljanitor in edinburgh, i first met her in 2005 when i was investigating equal pay. I de litter the grounds on this side of the hedge and the janitor from the Primary School next door de litters at this side of the hedge. And we dont get the same rate of pay. Evelyn earned a lower hourly rate and was denied the same perks as the men doing exactly the samejob. A clear cut example of a council flouting the principles of the equal pay act. Equal pay for work of equal value. Evelyn launched legal action and won. Oh, my goodness. Youve not changed at all neither have you, sam. You havent changed at all either. How nice to see you. How are you doing . Oh, its lovely to see you. I remember talking to you at the time, and it really affected you. Yes. You know, the fight really affected you. Yes, of course it did. Because i was on my own. I was on my own. Yeah, because today there are women in their numbers fighting this. Yes. So thats the difference. Yes. What would you say to the women today who are having that fight . Keep fighting. And, you know, evelyns case really was a landmark case. It was the watershed moment. And yet here we are, 14 years and millions of pounds later, and women Council Workers are still being discriminated against and underpaid. And they want to know why. I want to know why. The equal pay battle has been fought in almost every council in the country. The longest running . Glasgow, where, after 14 years and one of the biggest strikes ever
