Borisjohnsons brexit deal. What matters is mps coming together, across the house tomorrow, to get this thing done. Rare criticism of President Trumps decision to withdraw troops from syria by a Republican Party heavyweight Mitch Mcconnell calls it a grave mistake. And making history thats out of this world, two astronauts take part in the first ever all female spacewalk. Police and protestors clashed late into the night in barcelona. Officers fired tear gas and rubber bullets at youths who responded by throwing stones and setting makeshift barricades on fire. During the day 500,000 people held a peaceful demonstration in the spanish city, against the jailing this week of catalan separatist leaders. Damian grammaticas sent this report from barcelona. Central barcelona. Parts of it are a battleground tonight. A full scale confrontation under way, between police and protesters. Round after round, fired by the riot officers. In return, stones, bottles and fireworks, hurled back at them. This is now the fifth night in a row of these clashes in barcelona, and whats clear is that they are becoming worse and worse. More violent, more protesters on the streets and more response from the police as well, who tonight have used tear gas for the first time and rubber bullets as they are trying to protect the National Police headquarters which are just down here. The day began with huge columns of people, converging on barcelona from across catalonia. Some had been walking for three days to get here. A general strike had shut down the city. Now, they took over the streets. These are Pro Independence supporters, putting on a huge show of force after spain jailed on monday nine catalan leaders who tried to declare independence for the region two years ago. Its only going to stop once we achieve what we want, that are changes, real changes. Not all catala ns want the region to split away. Thereve been counterprotests by those who want to stay part of spain. They have been tiny by comparison. They dont speak for the majority, because the support for independence is not majoritarian. This was the spark for the violence today, protesters hurling eggs and cans at Spanish Police officers. Eventually, police patience snapped. Every day this week, there have been scenes like this. Police action, fuelling tempers on the street. The severity of the jail sentences for the catalan leaders has caused real anger. But so too have police tactics, which the protesters see as heavy handed. Spains Prime Minister has warned those involved in any violence will face the full force of the law. There has now been a week of unrest with no sign of it ending. And catalan leaders say their hopes of independence are undimmed. In just a matter of hours borisjohnson will be asking mps across westminster to unite behind his brexit deal. And while parliament is deciding the fate of britains departure from the eu thousands of protesters are expected to march through london demanding a new referendum. The stage is set for a Super Saturday but no one knows quite what the outcome will be. Its expected to be a knife edge vote but in the last few hours a number of hardline tory brexiteers say that they will back the agreement. Laura kuenssberg has the latest. 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 hell meet victory or defeat. Weve got a deal that allows us to get out of the backstop, thats abolished, and we can do free trade agreements as one whole United Kingdom around the world. Now, 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, youve 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 of the people of Northern Ireland, if theres 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. No, but there are extra checks. Thats in the agreement. There 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. The deal brokered by brains in whitehall and in brussels contains 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. You can watch all the developments at westminster across bbc news on saturday with special live coverage outside the houses of parliament. Dont miss it. On thursday, turkeys president erdogan agreed to suspend the military operation against kurdish led forces in Northern Syria for five days. But those forces have accused ankara of breaching the ceasefire. They say turkish air and artillery attacks are still being carried out against border towns. Well, in washington, the majority leader of the us senate says President Trumps decision to withdraw troops from syria was a grave mistake. In a rare criticism of President Trump, senator Mitch Mcconnell has warned that that there are significant dangers in america abandoning its allies. Peter bowes is our north america correspondent. Peter, they are allies, what is going on here . Why is mr mcconnell writing this article . Well, this is clearly something he feels strongly about and there is a lot of people analysing why hes written the article and gone so public about it. 0ne article and gone so public about it. One theory as hes actually signalling to republicans, look, it is ok to criticise the president on this issue, such as the strength of feeling. A lot of republicans havent spoken out up until now, but maybe they will in the future. And just to summarise what he is saying in this article is that he is really focusing on the implications of withdrawing American Forces from syria. He has grave concerns about the rise of groups like Islamic State and the possibility that in future, attacks could be staged on the united states. He says, if permitted to regroup and establish havens, they will bring terror to oui havens, they will bring terror to our shores. And he ends with this fine. He says americas wars will be endless only if america refuses to win them. That is direct criticism of what President Trump has been saying, talking for many months now about the fact that he wants to end these and this was around the world. Peter, is there a day late now between senator mcconnell and President Trump as mark and if there is that daylight, does not have any implications for the impeachment investigation . Does that . In the background, this impeachment investigation launched by the democrats in the house of representatives at the moment is going on. We could go to a trial in the senate, which is controlled by the senate, which is controlled by the republicans, and it will be those republicans, like Mitch Mcconnell, who will be deciding the president s fate. You wouldnt think the president would want to keep those colleagues and those republicans on his side. And this does perhaps suggest that there is light emerging between those republicans and what the president things on this key issue, but it could extend to other matters as well. We will keep an eye on that was the peter bowes, thank you very much. 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 Coalition Partners three days to commit to a programme of economic reforms. Local journalist Timour Azhari has told the bbc what hes been seeing on the ground. Well, on the ground we have been seeing thousands of people on the streets of beirut, expressing their angen streets of beirut, expressing their anger. They have been calling for economic justice, they anger. They have been calling for economicjustice, they have been calling for the downfall of the regime, which is a slogan side to the 2011 arab spring, as you know. People have been extremely hopeful, which is interesting to see in this country. For the last few years we have had smaller protest movements happening, and they would usually fizzle out after hours in the square. Now we are seeing staying powers of the protests. They have been basically going on non stop for two days. Now it is 2 20am in the morning and there are hundreds of people in the main square of beirut, hundreds more across the country. Stay with us on bbc news. Still to come stepping out in space two nasa astronauts complete the first all woman spacewalk. A historic moment that many of his victims have waited for for decades. The former dictator in the dock, older, slimmer, and as he sat down, obedient enough. Dawn, and as the sun breaks through the piercing chill of night on the plain outside korem, it lights up a biblical famine, now, in the 20th century. The depressing conclusion, in argentina today, its actually cheaper to paper your walls with money. Weve had controversies in the past with great britain. But as good friends, weve always found a good and lasting solution. Concorde bows out in style. After almost three decades in service, an aircraft that enthralled its many admirers for so long taxis home one last time. This is bbc news, the latest headlines protestors have clashed with police in barcelona, after a huge demonstration by catalans against jail sentences imposed on separatist leaders. Super saturday in the British Parliament just hours before mps decide whether to back borisjohnsons brexit deal in a special sitting. Mexicos president has been defending the actions of his Security Forces after they first captured and then released the son of drug kingpin Joaquin El Chapo guzman. 0vidio guzman has run the Notorious Sinaloa Cartel along with his brothers ever since his father was sentenced to life in prison in the us. He was detained during a routine patrol but when Cartel Members opened fire in a deadly street battle, he was set free. Mr lopez 0brador says the Security Forces took the right decision to protect civilians. Will grant reports. The scenes were reminiscent of a war zone. Heavily armed Cartel Gunmen prowling the streets and engaging armed forces in battles in a sustained firefight across the city. And those caught in the middle of the conflict have no idea what is happening. Fearing for their lives, parents and children cowered in shopping malls and restaurants, behind their cars, anywhere they could find cover. Once the smoke lifted, the explaining began. One of the heads of the sinaloa cartel, 0vidio guzman, son of el chapo, had been briefly obtained by the authorities. 0verwhelmed by the firepower, police handed the drug lord back to the astonishment of many mexicans. An embarrassed State Government who first said they found him by chance, admit now it was a bungled operation. At the federal level, red faces were not much better. The president said he had approved the decision to let guzman go. Translation the capture of a criminal cannot be worth more than peoples lives. They took that decision and i supported it. It was a stunning admission. To say that he supported the decision to release 0vidio guzman are the sort of words can come back to haunt a presidency. But his strategy of nonviolence towards cartels remains the right one, according to the president. But many feel it is not working. But this week alone there have been huge gun battles in western states which left around 30 dead between them. One was an ambush of police patrols, the other a clash between the army and a cartel. The violence still plaguing so much of mexico, the president s claims to be pacifying cartels does not ring true to those people whose streets descended into gunfire and flame. At least 62 people have been killed and Dozens Injured by a bomb during friday prayers at a mosque in afghanistan. The blast, which destroyed the buildings roof occurred near the city of jalala bad, in the countrys east. No one has immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, as katie silver reports. A friday press service gone horribly wrong. A sacred time in the week for most muslims. Instead, these afghans rush to get wounded worshippers medical attention. Translation rush to get wounded worshippers medical attention. Translatiosz was time for friday prayers and eve ryo ne was time for friday prayers and everyone had gathered in the mosque and suddenly a bomb exploded and many people were hurt. Eyewitnesses report hearing the preacher before his voice was silenced by a loud boom and the roof caved in. Translation there was a big explosion and it all became dark in the villages rescued me. I was under the villages rescued me. I was under the debris and the mosque was destroyed. So many People Killed and wounded. When the explosion happened i was near the mosque. We went there and the entire mosque was destroyed. We dont know if it was a rocket attack or a bomb blast. Children we re attack or a bomb blast. Children were among the injured. Local Authorities Say the number of casualties is likely to rise as people work to bring bodies out from the rubble. There has been a surge of violence in the country in recent months. With the un saying it has reached unacceptable levels. There have been almost 1200 civilian casualties in the three months to the end of september. About 1. 5 times higher than the previous year. Much of this, the un says, was caused by the taliban disrupting does not proceed. The report not only documents the harm to civilians caused by the teller bands determination to disrupt the election but also highlights a pattern carried out against civilians. No one has claimed responsibility so far for the attack. The eight laying the blame on Islamic State. The taliban. The first all women space walk has taken place, in another milestone for Space Exploration. The american astronauts Christina Koch and jessica meir replaced faulty equipment on the outside of the International Space station. More than 200 people have carried out spacewalks since 1965 but only 1a were women and until today they were always accompanied by men. Gareth barlow has the details for almost eight hours, they made history. The first all women spacewalk in history. Christina koch, and jessica meir stepping outside the International Space station, 400 kilometres above the earth. We hope we can provide an inspiration to everybody, not only women, but to everybody who has dreams and is willing to work hard to make the dream come true. Watching from solid ground as they made repairs to the space station, President Trump held the moment. This and i just want to congratulate you, what you do is incredible. And so, youre very brave people. I dont think i want to do that, i want to tell you, but you are amazing people. Earlier, what would have been the worlds first all womens spacewalk was cancelled because nasa did not have enough medium sized spacesuits. In the early days of human space flight, in the early days of human space flight, women were not astronaut. There were only a couple selected as russian cosmonauts. It took nasa until 1978 to start selecting women. Proving that there is space for us all. Dr carly howett is assistant director in the department of space studies at the South West Research Institute and she joins us from boulder, colorado. Good to see you. They finally got the right spacesuits they must be relief for everyone. They did. Fundamentally these are professionals doing the work they have been trained to do and so they we re have been trained to do and so they were the right people at the right time to do the job and they did it amazingly well. It is a difficult job and they have been training for six years to do it. Above all they are professionals. But this is a significant moment and i dont want to ta ke significant moment and i dont want to take away from that at all. This is the first time that two women have done a spacewalk together and does your report already said, women have done spacewalk the first was in 1983. This is the first time that two women have done it and i think thatis two women have done it and i think that is a significant milestone in terms of Space Exploration for women and all minorities. About 600 people have gone into space and only 65 women are among them. Why are women only just women are among them. Why are women onlyjust beginning to catch up . Well, i think it was to do with opportunity. When Space Exploration began, most of the people who flew had heritage in the air force it traditionally test pilots and traditionally test pilots and traditionally men. Has been changing slowly. And as we go forward, women will continue to play an important and perhaps a dominant role in a struggle. If you think about even the language that we use, manned space flight is still used very widely and it has that heritage. But as we move towards the future, these events and the courage you give them show that women have been involved and always have been but now we are taking a prominent role. If humanity returns to the moon goes to mars, can we expect that it will be a woman to plant the flag on the surface of the planet . woman to plant the flag on the surface of the planet . I hope so. But there are a good scientific reasons to send women on these long missions. They are lighter which makes them lighter to launch but they need fewer calories so you needless to use less oxygen which means less about. They produce less Carbon Dioxide and so there is a lot of reasons why we should send women instead of men to do a longer duration flight. And if we want to populate the solar system, we will have to send women. We cannot reproduce without women. But possibly the future of space flight is in the hands of women. Lets get some of the days other news. Floods caused by eight days of torrential downpours in North Eastern 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 emerged that boeing employees exchanged messages about possible problems with the automated Safety System on its 737 max jet nearly two years before the plane was involved in its first crash. The max planes have been grounded pending an investigation because of two accidents which killed more than 300 people. A federal court in new york has found the brother of the president of honduras guilty of Drug Trafficking charges. Tony hernandez was arrested last year in miami. Prosecutors accused him of using his honduran government connections to smuggle 200 tonnes of cocaine into the us. The first all women space walk has taken place, in another milestone for Space Exploration. The Rugby World Cup hits the quarter finals this weekend to the host country has been the surprise success story. In the back streets of tokyo, sumo training still draws a crowd to just down the road, the nation s new heroes are busy creating their own history. This is what rugby is doing to japan. More than half the country watched the win on sunday over scotla nd watched the win on sunday over scotland and some 60 Million People. And now they believe anything is possible. On sunday, these players will face south africa, hoping for a repeat of the famous win quarter yea rs repeat of the famous win quarter years ago. But already there blend of speed skill and spirit has defined this tournament. A reminder of our top story. Protesters have clashed with lease in barcelona after a huge demonstration by catalans against jail sentences imposed on separatist leaders. And dont forget you can get in touch with me and the team on twitter. Good morning. This time last week the World Weather story was typhoon hagibis. In fact, we were watching this powerful typhoon barrelling its way towards the shores of japan. Weather warnings were enforced, several of the Rugby World Cup matches were cancelled, including the england france match. Im pleased to say fast forward seven days and yes we have some shower cloud across japan but the weather story looks much better for the quarterfinals. In fact, it should be relatively dry, bright and warm, with temperatures into the mid 20s for the england australia match. I wish i could say the same, however, for the uk on saturday. It does look as though were going to have plenty of showers, some of them heavy with the odd rumble of thunder. But there is an improvement for the second half of the weekend. We are still under this influence of low pressure with this weather front enhancing the rain fall across eastern scotland. Well also see plenty of showers out of the west as well. Some of these showers will push further inland as we go through the day, perhaps not as many as we have seen across england and, the rain fairly persistent through eastern scotland, drifting down towards the Scottish Borders as we go through the day and then a northerly breeze kicking in behind. So top temperatures on saturday of 10 15 degrees. But as we go to the overnight period, the showers will start to fade away and the northerly wind will start to kick a little bit further south. That is going to allow temperatures to fall away. Low single figures in a few spots, a chillier start to sunday morning but a quieter start to sunday morning. That im sure will come as welcome news. In fact, the second half of the weekend looks drier and there will be fewer showers around as well. A better day for getting out and about. So we start off on a chilly note. That northerly wind would be a future, albeit light, a few showers along the is closed, a little more cloud here, damp and drizzly in places. Further south and west we will see a little more sunshine and after that chilly start temperatures will recover 9 11; degrees, the high. Again, we could have an issue with some fog and frost through the night, but the story into the early half of the week is High Pressure building from the west. There is this weather front that could just be a little bit of a fly in the ointment for the extreme south east, maybe some rain close to the kent coast. But generally across the uk on monday, that quieter theme of weather is set to build. There will be light winds, there would be a little bit of fairweather cloud and it will feeljust a little bit cooler. But with the sunshine compensating, hopefully a better feel. 9 11; celsius. Take care. This is bbc news, the headlines violent clashes between protesters and riot police have continued into the night, in the spanish city of barcelona.
