Last night in Milton Keynes. I was so terrified, i got so terrified, and it was so disappointing, because this never happened in the area, weve lived in the area for six years, next year it will be seven years, and ive not seen such a thing. Further violence on the streets of hong kong as Police Fire Tear gas at demonstrators marching in defiance of a police ban. And at 3 30pm, the Victoria Derbyshire programme investigates the shops selling vaping products to under 18s. Good afternoon. The government says its pressing ahead with efforts to pass a brexit deal this week in spite of a letter the Prime Minister was forced to send to brussels last night asking for a delay. Ministers today insisted that the uk will leave the eu at the end of this month. It comes as labour says it will push for a new Eu Referendum when the government brings its brexit plans to the commons. Heres our political correspondentJessica Parker. Theres no point pulling the tents down just yet, not after yesterdays events. Westminster is setting up for more battles to come, but ministers say they are confident that the Prime Minister wont be steered off course. The game changer this week, which was hardly talked about at all, is that he has defied the doubters and got a deal. We appear to have the numbers to get this through. The only question is, why arent we getting on with it . It is after borisjohnson had to, by law, send this letter asking for a delay. But where a signature would normally be a blank. Another letter makes it clear he thinks any extension would be damaging. Labours not impressed. The law is very clear. He should have signed one letter in accordance with the law. Hes being childlike. As the government is set to introduce the legislation needed to turn its bricks to deal into law, there are opposition plans again to try for a further referendum. We need an amendment to say that whatever deal gets through, it should be subject to a referendum where that deal is put to the public and they are asked, do you want to leave on these terms, or would you rather remain in the eu . So next week is going to be busy. The ayes to the right, 322, the noes to the left, 306. Mps have made it clear that they are no pushover after voting yesterday to withhold any approval of Boris Johnsons deal. But this lot isnt easily pushed around either. Will eu leaders grant a further delay . Here comes the architect of yesterdays manoeuvre which meant that borisjohnson had to at least ask for an extension. My own gut instinct has been all the way along that if we got to the end and we were going to crash out otherwise, and we had made a request for extension, very probably you would say you would have an extension. Super saturday has left its mark, though some think it was all a waste of time. A clear way forward hasnt shone through just yet. Jessica parker, bbc news. Earlier, i spoke toJessica Parker, who told us what we can expect in the coming week. Monday, tomorrow, the government will at least try again for the idea of a meaningful vote, that is what they tried to do yesterday, a straight up and down, in principle, do mps back this deal . Of course, amendments started being put in, things became confused, they didnt have that binary vote, so they will try to do that tomorrow. However, Speakerjohn Bercow will get to decide whether that goes ahead, and i think ministers are feeling nervous because they think that he may not rule in their favour. So that might happen tomorrow, we should find out in the early afternoon. We also know the government will try to introduce the legislation that is needed to implement the brexit deal, so they are going to introduce that, we might get a vote on that on tuesday, and they will keep trying to push through this legislation over the coming days. Ministers today voicing some confidence that they do have the numbers to get this through, but as ever nothing so simple, you could see amendments tabled to that legislation that made things so complicated. 0k. And labour have also been saying a lot, we are getting, again, this dialogue about a second referendum, another referendum. One of the amendments likely to be put forward in terms of the legislation is the idea of a further referendum, so shadow brexit secretary keir starmer confirming that this morning, not saying that the labour front bench would table that amendment, i do not think we are necessarily going to see Jeremy Corbyns name at the top of that amendment. Whether the numbers are there, they havent been before, well have to wait and see, but that will be on the agenda, and other ideas will likely come forward as well, trying to influence the eventual relationship that we have with the eu, such as whether we should be in a Customs Union or aligned to the single market. Those ideas will come out. That is why the Governments Task of getting this legislation through very quickly could be made even harder. The tone of the letters that were sent, it was never going to be straightforward, what is it . Could we end up in the courts with these . Well, there is a hearing scheduled for tomorrow in scotland at the court of session, my understanding is that is still due to go ahead. A couple of different views on this matter. The benn act specified that borisjohnson had to send a letter, he has done that. Obviously, he hasnt signed it. He did sign a second letter saying he didnt think an extension was a good idea. So there is an argument to say that he sent it, the eu received it, they are considering it, so he has met the provisions of the benn act. But another argument is that by sending the second letter, by not signing the first one, he has gone against the spirit of the law, and those are the kind of arguments you could see played out tomorrow. That was Jessica Parker speaking to me earlier. Meanwhile, eu ambassadors met in brussels this morning. Our correspondent adam fleming sent this update. Eu ambassadors met for a grand total of 15 minutes this morning to talk about brexit, so they did not want it to occupy a lot of their weekend. The main subject was the ratification process on the eu side, which requires a few bureaucratic and legal steps, and a big vote in the European Parliament in strasbourg, which could happen as soon as next week. They got an update from michel barnier, the eu chief negotiator, who summed up the events of yesterday as a hold up rather than a rejection of the deal. Of course, the eu would rather have seen an approval of the deal. And in the meantime, donald tusk, the president of the european council, who chairs the summit, is going to embark on a couple of days of consultation with eu leaders about the uks request for an extension to the brexit process, a delay beyond october the 31st. That consultation period has bought the eu a bit of time to sit back and watch and see what unfolds in the political process in the uk. They may not need an extension at all, if all goes to plan. There may have to be a short, technical extension if the uk needs just a little bit more time, perhaps to finalise the legislation that implements the deal into british domestic law. Or if there is a real problem, if the stalemate persists and just cannot be unblocked, then perhaps we could be looking at a much, much longer extension, either to the end of january, as specified in the british law that forced Boris Johnson to write the letter some people here suggesting maybe even tojune next year, because that is the point at which the eu has to start making Big Decisions about its future and they would prefer to not have the uk hanging round the table influencing those decisions. But but if that is to be a big extension, we could see another summit of eu leaders before the halloween deadline for brexit. The leader of the alliance party, naomi long, has confirmed that her partys representatives will not attend tomorrows recall of the Northern Ireland assembly, describing it as a political stunt. A number of mlas, most of them unionist, will attend a sitting at stormont to demonstrate opposition to the decriminalisation of abortion in Northern Ireland at midnight. The move will be largely symbolic, as the assembly cannot fulfil its functions without a power sharing executive in place, which collapsed two and a half years ago. More violent clashes have taken place between police and protesters on the streets of hong kong, with thousands of people marching despite a police ban. The pro democracy protestors are increasingly concerned that china is seeking greater control over hong kong. Officers fired tear gas and used water canon, after shops, banks and metro stations were vandalised. Our correspondent nick beake is in hong kong. For the 20th consecutive weekend, hong kongs police have faced a battle to reclaim the streets. We saw violence on again today. Earlier, there was a mass rally, thousands of people defying a ban on gathering and wearing masks, and they made their way through as part of hong kong, kowloon, normally a busy shopping district, but today we saw petrol bombs being shown at Police Officers and at the police station. Officers fired tear gas from the top of a building, eventually water cannon was used to clearly demonstrate as a way. The police fired really powerful jets of blue water, and eventually the people moved away. As you can say, they still havent reclaim to the streets tonight, the big question, what happens next . China has said that people who interfere in the situation here, they will be crushed, anybody who does that, so very hard to see a situation. The protesters and politicians seem as far apart as ever, all the while the violence continues. Two 17 year old boys have died after being stabbed at a house in Milton Keynes in buckinghamshire. Two men were also seriously injured in the incident. Thames Valley Police say they were called to the scene just before midnight. Yes, i am standing just up from archford croft, which is where police and the Ambulance Service were called just before midnight last night. One 17 year old boy died at the scene, and another was taken to hospital, but he also sadly died. The police were called after reports there had been a stabbing, and neighbours have said there was some sort of gathering, a party going on at one of the houses. Now, it was notjust there two boys who were harmed in the incident, two other men were also hurt. They were taken to hospital with serious injuries, but they are not believed to be life threatening. We have seen a big Police Presence all morning, as you can see, a cordon in place, lots of police cars are still here. Detectives have launched a double murder inquiry, no arrests have been made. You can just see the police behind you there. Have you got a sense of how the locals are reacting to what has happened . Absolutely, this is a quiet residential area, and we have been speaking to some people who lived just next door who told us about their shock that two lives have been lost to the night. I dont know if it is a family feud or gang related or what. Until you find out more about it, you just keep your doors shut, it is scary. I was so terrified, i got so terrified, and it was so disappointing, because this never happened in the area, weve lived in the area for six years, next year it will be seven years, and ive not seen such a thing. Until today, and it wasjust a shock and a blow. So a lot of shock and sadness around here at what has happened. We are told by police that is next of kin of those two boys who lost their lives have been informed, and they are being supported at this time by specialist Police Officers. So the latest here is a double Murder Investigation has been launched, no arrests have yet been made. At least three people have died after a supermarket was set on fire in the chilean capital, santiago, as violent protests there continue. A curfew has been imposed in parts of the city after demonstrations began in response to a planned rise in metro fares. Protests have since spread to other cities despite president ial promises to suspend the move. The military was brought onto the streets of the capital to help Police Control the protests. The headlines on bbc news the government says its determined to press ahead with efforts to approve Boris Johnsons brexit plan, even though hes been forced to ask for an extension to the deadline. A double Murder Investigation has begun after two 17 year old boys were stabbed to death late last night in Milton Keynes.

And in sport, wales edge their way into the semifinals of the Rugby World Cup after a dramatic 20 19 victory over france. Theyll play south africa in the finalfour, who knocked out the hosts japan, comfortably winning 26 3 in tokyo. And andy murray has just stepped out onto the court for his first atp tour finalfor two years. Hes taking on Stan Wawrinka at the european open. Ill be back with more on those stories later. Lets return to our main story. The government says its determined to press ahead with efforts to approve borisjohnsons brexit plan, even though hes been forced to ask for an extension to the deadline. Michael gove, whos in charge of planning for a no deal departure, said preparations were being stepped up, as there was no guarantee brussels would accept another delay. But both mr gove and the foreign secretary, dominic raab, believe the Prime Minister has enough support to get his deal through parliament. We can speak now to catherine barnard, professor of eu law at the univeristy of cambridge and senior fellow at the uk in a changing europe. Shejoins us from bla keney in norfolk. Thank you for speaking to us. First off, what on earth is going to happen next . You would be mad to make any really concrete predictions. What we know is that, following the letwin amendment yesterday, no meaningful vote will go through until they would and implementation bill has gone through parliament, and it is an important piece of legislation because it converts the withdrawal agreement, Boris Johnsons text, converts the withdrawal agreement, borisjohnsons text, into domestic law, and without it hit wont have legal effect in the uk. It is a really major piece of legislation, and yet nobody has seen it, it is likely to be laid for the first time on tuesday, probably quite long because there is an awful lot of heavy lifting that it has got to do, and it needs careful scrutiny. The question is whether borisjohnson can get it through by the 31st of october. That is my next question, because legal documents need to be scrutinised, can legislation be passed that quickly . Well, we certainly know it can, the benn act itself was passed with remarkable speed, in less than a week, but the benn act was a matter of a page or so, it is very likely this will be about 100 pages, and so, it is very likely this will be about100 pages, and i so, it is very likely this will be about 100 pages, and i will be things in it which will cause concern on the part particularly of the brexiteers. For example, it continues to give supremacy to eu law, you during the transition period, it continues to give circumscribed roles to the European Court ofjustice, something that brexiteers really do not want to have, and of course it lays bare the fa ct have, and of course it lays bare the fact that we have to pay 39 billion to settle our debts, and again a number of people dont like that either. As four amendments to be laid, and the question is how many and how long it will take two to bow to those amendments. Could use a of the eu position at this point . Essentially, they want ideal, they have worked hard over the last few weeks to try to accommodate Boris Johnsons position, and indeed have called upon a lot of the text that they were working before on theresa may asked for the uk as a whole to stay in the customs territory, so they really want ideal, because they know, despite the rhetoric that a no deal would be very bad for the eu, very bad indeed for the uk, but a number of eu states would be badly affected. What will happen now is you have got that request, albeit in a slightly unusual form, and the eu will spend time pondering, deliberately taking it slowly because they want to know what will happen in parliament this week, and so all eyes will be on parliament, we have still got a bit of time, but remember too it is notjust donald tusk and michel barnier, it is also the council of ministers and also the council of ministers and also the European Parliament, they have all got to vote, and they wont start voting until it has gone through the house of commons. So how does the possibility of a second referendum, as labour are calling for, how does that then muddy the waters . Well, it muddies the water ina number of waters . Well, it muddies the water in a number of ways, not least in terms of time, because in order to have a second referendum, you need to have an act of parliament, and the act of parliament also needs to have the question determined and set out in the act of parliament. It is not the quickest it could be done, a second referendum, is 22 26 weeks, and that pretty much takes us up to may of next year, so that impacts on the question of how long an extension of the eu might give us. What we know as labour is helping to amend the withdrawal and implementation bill, the legislation i was talking about, and men to say that the approval of it would be subject to a confirmatory vote, essentially a second referendum. It is not clear, though, that there are enough votes in the commons to get that amendment through. For some it is the way forward, for others it is not, not least because it prolongs the process. From your position, how would you analyse the fact that they is this huge mismatch, not only within parliament over brexit, but also possibly with Public Opinion . Theres so much technical language, so much legal language out there, how is this affecting the country . Well, of course, it is quite understandable that lots of people wa nted understandable that lots of people wanted to get brexit done, it is almost wall to wall coverage, and while perhaps you and i are deeply fascinated by it, a lot of people think it is an incredible turn off, and so theyjust want it done. However, mps have a duty to make sure that it is done properly, and to make sure that the legislation thatis to make sure that the legislation that is passed is robust and withstands scrutiny, and also remember that this is legislation which is going to dictate quite a lot of our relationship with the eu for decades to come, so essentially what some of the mps would be arguing, people like dominic grieve, oliver letwin, we need to let parliament do its job to scrutinise is properly over the next few weeks, and then once we are happy, it becomes law, then we leave the eu, then we go into a period of transition, and during that period of transition we start negotiating the future relationship. Ijust remember, as we keep hearing, this is just the end of the beginning, not the end, because the negotiations over the future relationship will be extremely protracted, will be difficult, never before has a stage tried to negotiate to get further away from its nearest partner, it will be difficult to negotiate, and of course it will require a lot of skill on the part of the Prime Minister to explain the trade offs which lie ahead, and none of these us which lie ahead, and none of these us has been discussed so far. So for those who are hoping we can get it done by the 31st of october and move and talk about other things, whether the nhs, schooling, im afraid they are going to be in for rude shock. On that point, catherine barnard, thank you very much indeed. You are watching bbc news. The us secretary of defence says all remaining american troops in Northern Syria are expected to be relocated to iraq. Turkey has been carrying out an offensive against Kurdish Forces in Northern Syria, following President Trumps decision to withdraw us forces from the border region. A temporary ceasefire has been declared, but both turkey and the kurds have accused each other of breaches. Its reported that up to 300,000 people have fled their homes since the offensive started. Our correspondent Barbara Plett usher is a couple of hours from the border in the south of the country. Earlier, she told me there are sporadic reports of attacks but largely the ceasfire is holding. This is a temporary suspension of the turkish offensive, they stopped the advance for five days to allow the kurdish militias to pull out a very large zone along the border. That hasnt happened yet, the kurdish commanders say that is because one of the towns that has seen some of the heaviest fighting, ras al ayn, is besieged by the turks and their militia allies, and they want to evacuate fighters as well as the injured, primarily, from this town, and i say that they would pull back once the evacuation had been complete. Now, we understand that that evacuation has proceeded today, a large convoy of vehicles, 50 of them at least, including ambulances, have visited the town and taken out wounded and perhaps other people as well, and so we will see if this is enough for the Kurdish Forces to say that is it, now we are going to pull out from this zone. They have until the end of tuesday to do that. To watch those coming to see whether civilians leave, because the forces taking over the town a syrian militias, which are allied to the turks, and they have a reputation for thuggery and abuse, and people will be afraid, i think, afraid of them as the Kurdish Forces leave. Barbara, this was partly instigated by the withdrawal of us troops by President Trump which allowed for the offensive to take place by turkey, where are those troops, and what is it doing to that battle against so called is . Yeah, the troops are consolidating, actually, this is in Northern Syria, consolidating from various outpost into larger bases, and over the next couple of weeks they will be pulling out by aircraft, by ground convoys. They are not going home, now, as mr trump said, bring them home. The defence secretary has said they will be moving to western iraq, and, yes, they had been in Northern Syria for the last couple of years, working with the kurdish fighters to combat the Islamic State group, and in the process they have provided a protective umbrella for the kurds against the turks, who see them as terrorist groups. That has been lifted, we have seen what has happened, but what will happen to the fight against the Islamic State group . Well, the defence secretary has said that is being discussed, one option might be for special Operations Forces to carry out Counterterrorism Operations in syria from iraq if necessary, but also the kurdish commander, the commander of the Kurdish Forces have said they will continue the fight against Islamic State in the territory that they still control, which are still quite considerable. President trump has said the turkish government, the turkish forces, needed to take control of the prisons in the area where they have invaded, the prisons that are holding Islamic State militants. We are not entirely sure what the picture is there, but the turks have said over the past 24 48 hours they have captured around 250 people, most of them women and children, family members of Islamic State militants who escaped from a camp during the fighting. So the picture is still quite uncertain, and the defence secretary will be looking at ways to keep the battle going, even though the troops are pulling out, against Islamic State. The longest nonstop commerical passenger flight has landed successfully in sydney. The qantas plane tookjust over 19 hours to fly direct from new york.

Hello there. Its been a little chilly today underneath the cloud, and with a northerly breeze a lot of these showers or longer spells of rain that weve had in the north east of england tending to fade away, clouds thickening, though, towards the south, threatening to bring some rain in from the near continent. And it should blow in a lot of cloud and keep the temperatures up across this part of the uk further north. Weve got clearer skies, and its going to be cold enough for a frost in parts of scotland. Quite sunny here, though, to start the day, some sunshine for Northern Ireland. Quite a cloudy start for most of england and wales. Weve got this threat of showery rain towards east anglia, in the southeast, especially near the coast in the morning. Elsewhere, a few if any showers around by the afternoon, probably a bit more sunshine too, ten in the central belt, 1a for southern parts of england and wales. Colder start to think on tuesday for england and wales, some fog patches lasting well into the morning. After those clear, there should be a good deal of sunshine still largely dry. Further north a bit more cloud but a decent day for eastern scotland and also around the murray firth. Hello this is bbc news with lu kwesa burak.
