Hello and thanks for joining us on bbc news. The president of the european council, donald tusk, has confirmed hes received a formal request from borisjohnson to delay brexit for three months. Mr tusk said he would start consulting eu leaders on how to respond. The british Prime Minister sent the letter after mps voted not to approve his dealfor the uk to leave the eu until all the legal steps had been completed. Mrjohnson also sent a second letter telling european leaders that a further brexit delay would be a mistake. Our Political EditorLaura Kuenssberg reports on a dramatic day in parliament. Before it was official, the moves in the middle, then the cheers on the right. Order . Showed borisjohnson was thwarted. The ayes to the right, 322. The noes to the left, 306. By a margin of 16, mps said not never to his deal, but not today, not yet. So the ayes have it. The ayes have it. Unlock hes now obliged by law now to ask the eu for a delay, but hell kick and scream. I will tell our friends and colleagues in the eu exactly what i have told everyone in the last 88 days that i have served as Prime Minister, that further delay would be bad for this country, bad for our European Union, and bad for democracy. Warnings of big trouble, though, if he wants to frustrate the law. Today is an historic day for parliament, because it said it will not be blackmailed by a Prime Minister who is apparently prepared once again to defy a law passed by this parliament. Any failure of a Prime Minister who thinks he is above the law, well, Prime Minister, you will find yourself in court. From early this morning this was a lwa ys from early this morning this was always going to be a huge and fraught 2a hours. Not a cue for a saturday match, but for parliament. Would mps just rush saturday match, but for parliament. Would mstust rush headlong into more confusion . The tensions torn by referendum in plainview. But many of them agonising, genuinely wondering what the best thing to do. Even stretching family ties. For the Prime Minister, though, only one aim to try to force this to a conclusion any way he could. Statement. The Prime Minister. Mr speaker, today this house has an historic opportunity to show the same breath of vision as a european neighbours. The same resolve to reach beyond past disagreements by getting brexit done. Decrying attem pts getting brexit done. Decrying atte m pts by getting brexit done. Decrying attempts by mps to postpone, saying yes or no, legally, to the deal, until all the laws that go along with it a past, too. A further delay is pointless, expensive, and deeply corrosive of public trust. Labour, though, resistant not just corrosive of public trust. Labour, though, resistant notjust to the deal. This government cannot be trusted and these benches will not be duped. But denying to Boris Johnson any chance to move forward. Labour is not prepared to sell out the communities that we represent. And we will not back this sell out deal. Just as the former Prime Ministerfound, deal. Just as the former Prime Minister found, though, theres deal. Just as the former Prime Ministerfound, though, theres a range of opposition parties who will rage against brexit. A deal that would see scott lund shafted by this United Kingdom government. Today, hundreds of thousands of people will will be outside, demanding a final say ina will be outside, demanding a final say in a peoples vote. How could play camry ever support his billionaires brexit . This still ta kes a billionaires brexit . This still takes a wrecking ball twell social and economic standards. And without his Northern Irish allies on board, the Prime Minister simply could not be sure of the numbers. This will do a great deal of damage to the union. Look, though, who was coming to help, with a joke. Look, though, who was coming to help, with ajoke. Standing here a have a distinct sense of deja vu. And a rebuke to those who voted against her now planning to do the same to Boris Johnson. Against her now planning to do the same to borisjohnson. Remember, though, once upon a time that included him. When this house voted overwhelmingly to give the choice of oui overwhelmingly to give the choice of our membership of the eu to the british people, did we really mean is . Ithink british people, did we really mean is . I think they can only be one a nswer to is . I think they can only be one answer to that and that is yes, we did mean it, because if this parliament did not mean its that it is guilty of the most egregious contract on the richest people. 360. Crowds who want another referendum are delighted and the delay gives them another chance to stop brexit. The Prime Minister s allies wanted today to at least be the beginning of the end, a conclusion. But look at this, mps and ministers protected by the police from protesters on their way out. Theres nothing going on theres nothing final about whats happened today. Animosity still all around. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. Earlier our europe editor, katya adler, summed up the reaction to the latest developments from brussels. First of all, i can confirm that the letters have arrived here in brussels, take a look at a tweet from donald tusk, the president of the european council, the man who represents all eu leaders here in brussels, he as he has received the letters from borisjohnson and he will now be able to start consulting eu leaders as to what next. I can tell you that here in the eu there is zero appetite to drag out the Brexit Process any further at all. In fact, we heard from the french president Emmanuel Macron evening saying that he did not think an extension was anyones interest. The fact that the Prime Minister has an accompanying letter tonight, expressing again his opposition to an extension, that will help eu leaders drag their feet a little bit. First and foremost they are going to look to the Prime Minister to make good on his promise to them, just two days ago here in brussels, that they nearly negotiated brexit deal would definitely pass through parliament. And time, relatively speaking, is on borisjohnson and the eus side, because the brexit deadline is not today, it is at the end of the month under eu law. And eu leaders want to keep pressure on mps, they want to help focus the mind before they say yes you absolutely have a lot of time. In fact if they want to do, eu leaders could hold their emergency brexit summit to decide a new extension even on the morning of the 31st of october. But all of that said, if push comes to starve and time is running out, no deal looks like the only option, then after all these years, two Prime Ministers, two brexit deals, i cannot see eu leaders at this point closing the door in the uks face. I think at that point they are likely to grant another extension but probably as short as possible and they will want to know what is for. Is it to pass final legislation, to hold a second referendum, a general election or even a referendum on their nearly signed off brexit deal . The chilean general in charge of security has announced a curfew in the capital. The president , sebastian pinera, has announced the suspension of a planned rise in public transport fares which sparked the protest. Earlier, the military was deployed onto the streets of the capital to help police controlled the protest. Water cannon and bigas we re the protest. Water cannon and bigas were use against protesters after building and vehicles were satellite in over and over a0 metro stations vandalised. Jane joins us from san diego. The curfew will start in less than an hour. What is going on . The curfew will start very soon and will go on until seven oclock tomorrow morning. But there is still protest going on in the streets. Just recently there have been reports of looting in shops and lots more damage being done. How dramatic is a move to announce a cu rfew dramatic is a move to announce a curfew by a chilean government . Is it done financiallys democracy . Curfew by a chilean government . Is it done financiallys democracy . No, absolutely not. It is a very dramatic move. And also having military patrols on the streets today. Im in people are talking about it seeming like the time of general pinochets military dictatorship, which was 17 years long, and lasted until 1990. So there has been very much criticism about what is going on. You talk about what is going on. You talk about criticism, of course, sebastian pinera, the president , has announced he is backing down on those price rises in the metro. Will that change things in santiago, will that change things in santiago, will that appease protestors . Well, im not sure that it will. He thought it would, but these protests are still continuing. And they are notjust protesting about these price rises with the metro. A lot of them are very unhappy about the inequality thatis very unhappy about the inequality that is in chile. It is a very expensive country to live in and yet many people the normal waits for them is Something Like a00. So a lot of that is taken up with the metro costs, but also with medicine, with private healthcare, which is very expensive, with education. They are complaining about pensions as well, that they dont think a good enough. So there are many things that they are angry about, which is why the idea that these protests are still going to go on. And when you talk to ordinary people, perhaps people who are not protesting, are they sympathetic with the demonstrators . Well, like much in chile, there is real division. Some people are sympathetic with them, some people are not at all. They spoke about the criticism of having trips on histories, but some people are saying that is completely necessary. A lot of them are anarchist, delinquent, out to damage things, they are very angry about the amount of damage that has been done to public property in the last few days. Were talking about stations completely ruined and, at the moment, the metro system is closed and also the buses. And there isa closed and also the buses. And there is a lot of worry about quite how long it will take to repair these metro stations and obviously people are going back to work on monday morning and how difficult that will be for them. Jane chambers in santiago, thank you very much.

Still to come after another day of brexit drama in westminster, what next . We look at what might happen in the days and months ahead. 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 britains Prime Minister, borisjohnson, has written to the European Union asking for a further delay to brexit. He wrote the letter, which he left unsigned, after losing a key vote in parliament on his withdrawal deal. So things are looking more complicated for Boris Johnson. Our political correspondent, ben wright has been looking at what might happen in the days and months ahead. Ministers never tire of saying its time to get brexit done, but leaving the eu was always going to be a hugely complex and time consuming process, and it is farfrom being over. This is how the next few days and even years might unfold. Borisjohnson and the eu have agreed a new Withdrawal Agreement the terms of divorce. The Prime Minister wanted mps to approve it in principle today, but they havent. And so, after this setback for the government, it needs to change tack again. Next week ministers will publish the Withdrawal Agreement bill that is the legislation which puts the deal into law. Expect an early battle over its timetabling, as well as its content. There will be many votes over many days, and the government may even ask mps to back the brexit deal in principle again, as soon as monday. The government still wants the bill to be law by october 31st and for the uk to leave the eu then, but after today all that could slip. Lets look even further ahead. A whole new phase of brexit will begin, if and when the uk leaves the eu with a deal. A transition period, during which little actually changes. This is the time both sides are meant to hammer out their future relationship on trade, security, and more. Ministers will set out the negotiating aims to parliament, and then the talking with brussels begins again. This transition period will last until the end of december 2020, but could be extended for another two years, if both sides agree. Some tory mps hate that idea, and today borisjohnson said he wouldnt want that either, but complex trade deals can take several years to negotiate. The deal mps are arguing about now sets out how the uk leaves the European Union, but explains relatively little about what comes next. That will be the focus of wrangling and negotiation for a long time yet. Hilary benn hasjust treated the reaction. Of course, this is the mp that pushed through the law, the law is named after him, forcing the Prime Minister to ask for an extension if there is no agreement. He says after all the bluster, the Prime Minister has said a letter to the eu asking for an extension. While mps were debating inside the chamber of the commons thousands of demonstrators were outside calling for a public vote on any deal thats agreed. The protest organised by the Peoples Vote Campaign converged on parliament square, as our home editor mark easton reports. And youll never walk alone. It had been billed as a march to give confident voice to those who want the Brexit Debate put back to the people. But as they set out, the mood was more resolute, anxious, even pessimistic. I think its too late. Yeah, i think it is a bit too late. But were just here to. Try to give it a go. Yeah. The argument could be decided before you get to parliament square. It could, it could. I know it could. We all know that. Its in the back of our minds, but we are going to still keep marching and saying what we believe in. The organisers claim a Million People snaked their way from marble arch, that symbol of british triumph against the continental might of napoleon, past wellingtons home at hyde park corner, past nelson, on his column, in trafalgar square. The architecture of the nations capital, reflecting historical tensions with european neighbours. A significant part of the country mayjust want to get a deal done, get onto the next stage of the Brexit Process. But these are the faces of people who are saying not in my name, not yet, or not at all. Details of every growl and groan from the debate inside the house of commons rippled through the crowds outside as they headed towards parliament. Stop brexit now this long planned event provided a noisy soundtrack to attempts by government to bring the brexit argument to an end before the march reached its destination. Pictures from inside the palace of westminster were relayed to the vast crowd watching outside, and then the moment when it was clear there would be no brexit deal today. Applause the news from parliament is greeted less with rejoicing, i think, and more with relief. The long march that they hope leads from one peoples vote to another peoples vote, well, that can go on. Its not a defeat. Were still in the fight. At least it gives us hope that something can be slowed down. Slowed down . The slower it goes, the better. It means the agony continues, though, doesnt it . I know, yes, thats boring. But thats the position that hes put us in, so. But what will the final destination look like . For people on all sides of the argument, that remains frustratingly unclear. And you will find plenty more on the bbc in bbc and you will find plenty more on the bbc in bbc news website including more from our correspondence and updates. At the Rugby World Cup injapan, it was the first day of the quarterfinals england took on old foes australia. Our Sports Editor dan roan reports. If england wanted to lay down a marker, they have done it. It was a hugely impressive performance. They got onto an excellent start against the old rivals australia, thanks largely to wingerjonny may who scored twice in two minutes. The captain and Flyhalf Owen Farrell extending his sides lead with some importing kicks too. But the advantage at half time was just eight points thanks to the boot of Christian Lealiifano who scored some important points of his own. Immediately after the restart australia reduced the deficit to just one point at that moment in the game the match was very much in the balance. But then enter kyle sinclair, the powerful england prop storming through, he proved unstoppable. And after that england rear really reasserted their authority. Thanks to Owen Farrells boot, he ended up 20 points and significant defence. Anthony watson secured a try which sealed victory. England didnt look back, a margin of victory over australia. Who not a matter of lost rock up on english soilfour years ago, the site of secured revenge and they can look forward to a semi final, that was the target. I think given the manner in which it has been achieved, england will now believe they can go all the way, and secure its first world cup victory since 2003. In the days other quarterfinal ireland took on new zealand. Andy swiss was watching. This is a night when new zealand shows just why they havent lost a world cup for some 12 years. And also why there are still many people s favourites to lift the trophy again. It was an utterly emphatic when over ireland, ireland remember looking to reach the semifinals for the first time in their history. But really from the moment that aaron smith scored two early tries, to put new zealand in control, there was only going to be one winner. Beauden barrett added a third travel new try for new zealand just before the break, it was 22 0 at halftime. After the break new zealand just went on extending the lead, ireland did get two consolation scores from Robbie Henshaw and then a penalty try butjordi barrett rounded things off for new zealand in the closing minutes to complete a ruthless victory over ireland. Irelands disappointment at the world cup continues once again, they have been knocked out at the quarterfinal stage. Remember they had gone to this tournament as the world number ones, as for new zealand, what a performance from them, and what a mouthwatering semifinal it sets up against england in yokohama next weekend. Dont forget you can get in touch with me and some of the team on twitter. We will be following all events throughout the next few hours, and do stay with bbc news. Hello there. Saturday was a day of contrast, we finally got some much needed sunshine across central and southern england. And in fact in hampshire, we had over seven hours of sunshine. Thats not bad for this time of year. It was a different story though further north across the scottish borders. There was some heavy persistent rain at times, and some blustery winds and in fact, edinburgh had 3a millimetres of rain, around an inch and a half of rain, throughout the day. The radar shows where that rain tended to sit through much of saturday, it is starting to weaken off now as the area of the pressure is drifting into the north sea and its allowing a northerly flow to start to dominate across the country. So as the showers fade away and the northerly air kicks in, we will start to see those temperatures falling away so it could be potentially a chilly start to sunday. Particularly in rural parts of scotland and lincolnshire and south east england, we are going to see low single figures, maybe low enough for some pockets of frost. We start off on a chilly note, that low pressure sitting out in the north sea could feed a little more cloud along the east coast and a few scattered showers. So here it could be cold and disappointing, but further south and west away from the low we should see the cloud breaking up, sunshine coming through and highs peaking at 9 1a degrees. So thats the story on sunday, just need to draw your attention to whats happening across the near continent, this frontal system ever moved towards essex and kent coast overnights sunday into monday, and produce some wet weather, but the High Pressure is building in from the atlantic, so that is the dominant force to the weather story. On monday as you can see largely fine and dry but we will need to keep a close eye on events down into the south east. That could be a little bit of a fly in the ointment. Generally speaking though, highs are likely to peek again at 9 1a degrees. As we move out of monday into tuesday, that area of High Pressure pushing in from the atlantic will just slip its way steadily southwards and thats going to allow weather fronts to topple across the high and push into the far north west. So potentially bringing the risk of some wet weather and certain windy weather at times as well. So only up into the far north of scotland potentially on tuesday, elsewhere with a south westerly feed, might be a little more cloud along west face coasts, but a bit milder with it as well. You can see the theme is generally a dry one across the country with highs of 11 15 celsius. So we you move out of tuesday into wednesday and thursday, its a similar feel to things. We keep the potential for wetter weather into final, much of england and wales instead right and a little milder. Take care. This is bbc news.
