Dead in a lorry in essex. Wales are out of the Rugby World Cup after losing to south africa in the semifinal. Well have a full sport round up at 5 30pm. Donald trump says the leader of the so called Islamic State group, abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, has died after a military operation, conducted by Us Special Forces. Hed been described as the worlds most wanted man, and mrtrump said capturing or killing him, had been the Top National Security priority of his administation. Al baghdadi had been under surveillance in Northern Syria for weeks, and was eventually cornered, in the village of barisha. Hes said to have detonated an explosive vest, as his compound came under attack. Heres our middle east correspondent, quentin somerville. Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi died in the dark in Northern Syria. The ferocious sound of the firefight was heard for miles. Pictures of donald trump watching the operation live have now been released by the white house. He later described how baghdadi he had fled into a tunnel wearing a suicide vest, taking three of his children with him. He reached the end of the tunnel as our dogs chased him down. He ignited his vest, killing himself and the three children. A brutal killer, one who has caused so much hardship and death, has violently been eliminated. He will never again harm another innocent man, woman or child. He died like a dog. He died like a coward. The world is now a much safer place. This was the scene this morning. Donald trump thanked russia, turkey and the syrian kurds, but said only americans were involved in the raid. A neighbour told the bbc what he saw. Translation around 11pm, they started shooting the house of abu mohammad. The house was completely destroyed. We recovered seven bodies from under the rubble and two others on the main street. Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi was last seen earlier this year in a rare propaganda video, very much still in command of is. A number of his followers and two wives were also killed in the raid. This caps a terrible year for the group he commanded. Their last remaining territory was lost in a bloody battle in the spring, leading to the capture of thousands of its supporters and their families. This killing brings an end to the reign of a man whose empire of terror stretched across the middle east and clawed at the capitals of europe. His followers crowed earlier ths year, when he appeared alive in a propaganda video. Today, theyre mostly silent. Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi was thought to be far from here, possibly in iraq. But it was in these olive groves that one of the most brutal and successful extremists of modern times met his end. Quentin sommerville, bbc news, beirut. We can speak now to our security correspondent, frank gardner. Inevitably theres been some skepticism in political circles about the timing of this operation. But presumably the hunt has been going on for a long time . For years. The man had a 25 million, £19 million bounty on his head. At the time, he was the worlds most wanted for fugitive entire rest, time, he was the worlds most wanted forfugitive entire rest, which is how the fbi referred to him. This is someone how the fbi referred to him. This is someone who has been on the run more 01 someone who has been on the run more or less since 2010. He was a key figure in notjust the so called Islamic State, but also of the Islamic State, but also of the Islamic State, but also of the Islamic State in iraq. It was born out of alqaeda, he galvanised what was left of alqaeda in iraq, he had the religious credentials for this but he presided over the most disgusting, brutal, sadistic campaign of beheadings, torture, rape, abduction, sex slavery you name it. And this was at its height a group that was able to actually establish itself as a physical entity, it actually had territory and towers . It did, and i think that was really the failure of the world backin was really the failure of the world back in 2014. It had taken its eye off the ball in baghdad. Im told that iraq was never mentioned at the Cabinet Office at that time back in 2014. There were hardly any Intelligence Officers in baghdad dashed from baghdad in the west. They put iraq to the side. At the time, the government had adopted a very discriminatory policy against the sunnis. He capitalise on that, telling them that they were there champions. The iraqi army fled, there were mass executions. So they we re there were mass executions. So they were able to establish this caliphate that covered 88,000 square kilometres, about 8 Million People we re kilometres, about 8 Million People were underneath it. They made that money from oil wells and extortion, from wheat fields, bribery and so on. The policy of actually having a physical caliphate is quite controversial, so 0sama bin laden before he was killed in 2011 said his advice tojihadists before he was killed in 2011 said his advice to jihadists was that now was not the time. The time a comment yea rs was not the time. The time a comment years ahead, but not now, because you present a target to your enemies. And sure enough, that is what happened. Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi overreached himself, he made two fundamental errors. They advanced eastwards towards the kurdish capital, where there is a lot of oil and us interests. They enslave the use cds, horrifying the whole world, and they beheaded aid workers and journalists in those horrific snuff videos. And that basically lead to a military campaign that saw the end of caliphate. In terms of motives left behind, abu Bakr Al Baghdadi was quite low elusive, you only saw him twice in recent occasions, once on video. Apart from having a symbolic value, in his actions make much of a difference to what is left . Operationally there is very little, but spiritually it is important. While he was still at large, it gave Islamic State followers something to aim for, the fa ct followers something to aim for, the fact that every now and then, they would trail a big announcement from him, whether it was in vision or wherever it was recorded. And the fa ct wherever it was recorded. And the fact that he appeared in a video in april very much emulating 0sama bin laden, him with a blank background, an Assault Rifle aside him, with long beard, wisdom. All that was very much a symbolic spiritual leadership propaganda. That is all gone, they will have trouble finding someone gone, they will have trouble finding someone with the same credentials as him. They will replace him, it will be someone youve never heard of. They are not gone, there are ruminant sleeper cells, there will be calls for revenge, and deftly therell people out for revenge as therell people out for revenge as there was after bin laden. This underlines the point that you can kill people but you dont kill an idea and philosophy, anything like that as easily. Is there a risk for the United States and this that having this rather convenient timing, meaning trump has said its done, its fine to leave syria, but actually these things come back to bite you in the bottom years later . Use you would word words you would use, but i wouldnt. Theres definitely a risk of triumphant. A lot of people are unnerved by Donald Trumps language because it is reminiscent of george bushs language. But the collapse of the caliphate has been achieved. But until there is Good Governance and people in syria and iraq are fairly and humanely govern, which they are not. What make you only have to look at the scenes in the last few days. Most countries are still in a state of turmoil. There will always be an opportunity for isis to jump in there, and it will unfortunately go on. But lets not forget, the absence of their leader is significant, it was a big blow to them. He had a huge amount of knowledge it experience, and dont forget the special forces spent two hours on the ground gathering up intel. That will be processed and there will be a rest after this. Thank you very much. Lets go to the turkey syria border now and speak to our International Correspondent 0rla guerin, shes on the turkish side of the borderjust a few miles from where al baghdadi died. What are you hearing from within the region about the operation . 0bviously region about the operation . Obviously we had the us describing in colourfor obviously we had the us describing in colour for colourful obviously we had the us describing in colourfor colourful detail, sparing no detail what happened. But presumably there was lots more going on behind the scenes before this took place . Donald trump describes what was a Daring Mission that took place six km just across the border inside syria in a village called berisha. Clearly there were lots of moving parts, it is a crowded arena there. You have turkish and serious for dashed syrian forces, russian forces. The turks have said they we re forces. The turks have said they were proud to have played a part, but they have not told us what part they played. They said there was an exchange of information and coordination between the militaries of both countries. The interesting details coming from the syrian kurds the way theyre portraying it, it seems like they had a major part to play in all this. They have issued a statement saying that the raid came after five months ofjoint efforts. They have said that they were involved in tracking the presence of all baghdadi. Yesterday donald trump was. The syrian kurds have said today that in fact, the raid against all baghdadi, the mission had to be delayed for a month because of that turkish assault which began here in the region less than a month ago al baghdadi. The region less than a month ago albaghdadi. In terms of those players who still have a presence in syria, donald trump was making much of having spoken to the russians and having to ensure that they could operate through basically being controlled by russia on the behalf of president aside at the moment. The Russian Defence ministry is being a bit sceptical about some of the details of this. How do you think the details will play out in terms of the value america justifying their withdrawal, and whats left behind . Justifying their withdrawal, and whats left behind . I think for the russians, clearly this is not a development that they particularly can claim ownership of. They werent pa rt can claim ownership of. They werent part of it, they were sort of pouring cold water, saying lots of people are rushing to claim that they were part of this, and an operation like this will have many fathers as soon as it has completed successfully. But i think the reality is this does not change the power balance in the region which has shifted significantly in recent weeks. There is now a new middle east order in russia is sitting at the top of the pyramid. The americans under donald trump have surrendered a lot of their leverage in this region. He has pulled out the majority of us troops from syria, that has already happened. And critics would say they kind of intelligence cooperation with the kurds that made the raid against al baghdadi possible will be far more difficult in the future. So the americans do not have the presence or the leverage, nor the influence they had here in the middle east. Donald trump has made it very clear that he wants to be out of this region as quickly as he can to leave other people to fight over what he is described as all that sand. Thank you very much forjoining us from the turkey syria border. Lets cross to washington now. We can speak to our correspondent chris buckler. This has now been absorbed by people in the United States for the last few hours, they are getting the news is they wake up on the east coast. What sort of political response has there been . This was time for the clinical programmes that go out on the sunday morning here in washington. Donald trump spoke for an hour, he really delivered what sounded like a victory speech. But the fact that he has gone ahead with this will not attract criticism that ultimately he allowed chaos into this region and still we have those questions that democrats will raise time and time again about his Long Term Strategy in the middle east. We just the truth is he wa nts east. We just the truth is he wants troops out and wants nothing to do with the region. During the speech he gave earlier, he suggested that as far as he was concerned, they were only there to protect oil. And there will be people who say, as faras trump is and there will be people who say, as far as trump is concerned, that he has not worked out what to do in this region if conflict emerges again. And there are dangers, of course, in the months ahead. Beyond that, democrats are also a little upset that frankly, their leadership we re upset that frankly, their leadership were not told that this raid was taking place. It seems some republican members of congress were told that the raid was happening, but not democrats. And they wont be happy with Donald Trumps reasons for that, that as far as he was concerned, there was always a danger of lea ks if people concerned, there was always a danger of leaks if people in washington we re of leaks if people in washington were told, that leaks happened in washington. But fundamentally, donald trump will use this as a campaigning tool. Election isjust a year away, and as commander in chief, hes not just claiming victory, but personal credit for this. You listen to the language here, it was personal, vivid, and triumphalist. He talked about al baghdadi crying and whimpering ina about al baghdadi crying and whimpering in a state of panic, dying like a dog and a coward. That is laying which we are not used to from an american president. At least until this administration. With the election coming forward, you can imagine that donald trump will be saying time and time again that he has been responsible for killing the worlds most wanted terrorist leader. Being congratulated internationally, few people are cautioning that president Emmanuel Macron has just treated saying that al baghdadi is a hard blow against Islamic State, but it is just estate. This is the fight from which the United States has largely now absented itself. On one hand, donald trump took complete credit for in his words, obliterating Islamic State. And yet at the same time, there was also these little hints and mentions of the fact that there we re and mentions of the fact that there were potentially problems going forward. For example, he did say that america was watching and identified potential successors to al baghdadi. That indicates that the organisation may be trying to regroup and reorganise, and that is something that will worry americans going forward. And in fact, inside congress, they have been very critical of the white house for essentially taking their eye off the ball on this by saying that they dont want any part of the middle east. They say Islamic State remains a threat, and theres been a statement from the us secretary of state, mike pompeo, that reflects on some of that. He says in a statement, there is still work left to do to ensure Islamic States feet. But he says. And can no longer commit heinous activities we re longer commit heinous activities were spread their vile ideology of hatred, poison, and recruit vulnerable mines. Hatred, poison, and recruit vulnerable mines. But hatred, poison, and recruit vulnerable mines. But that is the worry, therell be other leaders as they were in the past that come forward and try to stir up that hate and ideology which potentially could bea and ideology which potentially could be a danger to america and so many other countries. Thank you very much, chris. The headlines on bbc News Donald Trump announces that Us Special Forces have killed the fugitive leader of the so called Islamic State group, abu Bakr Al Baghdadi. The us says al baghdadi detonated an explosives vest, after being cornered in a compound, in North Western syria. The Government Presses ahead with attempts to get a december general election. Ministers will put a vote before parliament, tomorrow. The government says it will press ahead with efforts call for a general election tomorrow, but hasnt ruled out working with opposition parties to get one if that fails. It follows an attempt by the liberal democrats and the Scottish National party to get a election on 9 december. 0ur Political Correspondent Jessica Parker is in westminster and we can speak to her now. Why all this fuss over three days . Thats a very good question, because im sure some people are wondering, the government are suggesting till december, the snp and liberal democrats are suggesting nine december. 12 december. The snp and lib dems dont really want to be seen as and lib dems dont really want to be seen as dancing to borisjohnsons tune on this one, and there is also the crucial difference between their plan and the governments plan. The governments plan centres on looking at the Withdrawal Agreement bill, scrutinising that, trying to get at the parliament before that snap poll on 12 december. But the snp and lib dems are saying theyre not interested in passing the bill, they dont like brexit, and they want to secure a three month delay to a brexit from the eu and have that snap election. Some key differences there. Also intriguingly, there has been talk as to whether there might been talk as to whether there might bea been talk as to whether there might be a few more students still around in their University Towns on nine december as opposed to 12 december, which could be helpful to the lib dems. In terms of the potential for a general election, absent of the Labour Party Supporting one, does borisjohnson Labour Party Supporting one, does Boris Johnson have much Labour Party Supporting one, does borisjohnson have much chance of getting a 12 december election, and similarly, to the lib dems and snp have. Ive gotten them wrong, now im confused. Its a confusing picture. In terms of the numbers, borisjohnson is obviously going for this vote tomorrow where he needs two thirds of mps to back his till december plan on the fixed term parliaments act. He might not get it because he would need labour on board in order to reach that threshold. The interesting thing with the lib dem snp proposal is that it with the lib dem snp proposal is thatitis with the lib dem snp proposal is that it is a bill. There are plenty of o bsta cles that it is a bill. There are plenty of obstacles in the way of getting that done. You need a majority government to get that done or see mps to control the order paper. Im not sure they have time to do that. But if they can get a bill on the floor, they would need a simple majority. Just over 50 of the mps who turn up on the day to vote for that idea. However it is a bill so it would need to pass through commons and the house of lords could be subject to the them as well thought but they wouldnt need labour to get behind it, they have enough mps for the conservatives in the lib dems if that happened. Downing street are not ruling out looking at a plan tonight, but i think they still for now trying to stick to plan a. Jessica, thank you. Three people arrested after the discovery of 39 bodies in a refridgerated container lorry in essex have been released on bail. The driver, maurice robinson, whos 25, is due to appear in Court Tomorrow charged with manslaughter. Meanwhile, the families of those feared dead have been holding vigils and ceremonies back in vietnam. Many are thought to have come from the village of yen thanh, from wherejonathan head has sent us this report. Singing. A community overwhelmed by shock and despair. They havent heard from sons and daughters who were en route to britain, four days, and they all fear the worst. Earlier this year, a relative left vietnam to seek his fortune in europe. Since he left, his wife has given birth to their second child. He was the great hope of this family. News from britain has left them stunned. His wife cant eat or speak. His father is inconsolable, constantly hugging his eldest grandchild. Hes lost notjust his son, but his livelihood, as well. He mortgaged all his land to borrow the money he paid for his sons journey. The debt he left us is huge, he said. We dont know when we can pay it back. I am too old now and my health is poor. It has been a day of prayer here, and of neighbours doing what they can to offer comfort. They are used to saying goodbye to their young men and women in this part of vietnam. Remittances are important to the local economy. But not loss on this scale. A 19 year old is another one who dreams of something better. They are almost certain that she too was inside the ill fated container. Saving and borrowing to send their young folk overseas has become a routine practice in these villages. It has also become a richly profitable business for the traffickers a pitiless and dangerous one. Few people here realised, as they surely do now, just how dangerous it could be. Jonathan head, bbc news, yen thanh, vietnam. Power has been cut to almost a million homes and businesses in california in an attempt to stop damaged cables starting more wildfires. More than two million homes are expecting to lose their electricity over the next few hours in the biggest blackout in the states history. Theres a warning that fires which have already seen 90,000 people moved from their homes could spread with winds of up to 80 mph forecast. Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of barcelona in support of spanish unity. Marchers carried banners bearing the slogan enough it follows protests by supporters of Catalan Independence yesterday that ended in violent clashes with police. Heres sarah rainsford. Today, they raise the spanish nationalflag in barcelona alongside the catalan colours. Unity was the message. Catalans who insist theyre spanish, too, and will stay that way. But two years on from an independence vote, and with nine of its leaders in prison for sedition, this is a society deeply divided. Some have even lost friends over the issue. They feel that you are against catalonia, and we are not against catalonia. We love catalonia but we love spain. This crowd has not been out on the streets in these numbers since the referendum, but they say they want to be here to make sure their voice is heard and to make it clear that not everyone here in catalonia wants independence. But last night, this same street was in flames after a crowd of independence supporters were charged by police. They fired rubber bullets to scatter the crowd after being pelted with paint and bottles. There were ugly scenes after a much bigger and peaceful rally. Hundreds of thousands in the street, insisting on their right to split from spain and calling for those they call Political Prisoners to be freed. Passions are heated on both sides. Todays pro unity rally called for healing the divide, but no one can agree here how to do that. Sarah rainsford, bbc news, barcelona. Chiles president , Sebastian Pinera, has dismissed his whole cabinet in order to form a new government and introduce social reforms demanded by protesters. Mr pinera said hed heard the demands from the streets. More than a Million People joined a peaceful rally on friday in the capital, santiago, calling for social justice. Aru na iyengar reports. Where people protested, now they paint. After days of demonstrations which have brought death and destruction, there is a greater sense of calm in santiago. Translation it is legitimate to protest, it is legitimate to want changes. We all want them but lets not destroy the things that affect all chileans. Translation we have to clean up, its our city we live here and destroying it is the worst way we can protest. On friday, a reported one Million People marched through the capital, a largely peaceful demonstration despite some scuffles with police. In response, president Sebastian Pinera says the night time curfew will be lifted and the cabinet will resign. Translation i asked all ministers to resign in order to form a new government and to be able to respond to these new demands and take charge of these new times. In the past days, at least 17 people have been killed and over 7,000 arrested. Chile is one of latin americas wealthiest countries but also one of the most unequal deep rooted issues that cant be swept away. Aruna iyengar, bbc news. Some breaking news, the leader of the curtis military in syria has talked about, the Syrian Defence force, a rebel group, anti asad, made up of kurdish fighters and other groups he is in charge of the kurdish side of that. He is saying that the spokesman for the group that calls itself Islamic State was killed in a joint us stf raid in syria. So whether it was pa rt raid in syria. So whether it was part of the operation against al baghdadi or whether it was a separate operation in a different location, we dont yet know. But clearly the kurds are suggesting, as they have been throughout this day, that they were actively involved in the efforts to suppress Islamic State. Worth remembering, putin contacted putting in context of the things trump said earlier, 11,000 kurds died in the fight to break Islamic State from syria. Five us personnel were killed because largely the western presence was more intelligence based, providing logistics and air support, rather than troops on the ground. Most troops on the ground were local troops on the ground were local troops fighting to end Islamic State, we saw them doing so much damage to those two countries. According to the white pg, the Kurdish Militia dashed white pg, the spokesperson for Islamic State was killed in a joint us raid. A cardigan described as one of the most famous sweaters in Music History has been sold for more than a quarter of a Million Pounds at auction. The olive green garment, which belonged to the late nirvana frontman, kurt cobain, features burn holes and stains and was worn in the bands famous mtv unplugged concert in 1993. It was bought for more than 334,000, making it the most expensive sweater ever to go under the hammer. The cardigan hasnt been washed for 26 years. The auction house says all those stains have helped raise the price. This sweater was actually a one he bought in this thrift shop. It was made in the 1960s, lots of cigarette burns, it was very used. Its easily identified because of the stains and burns, and he were on the most important performance, in my opinion. Its a holy of articles of clothing for kurt cobains they could ever come up for auction. One thing i can tell you, he wont be increasing its value, he always keeps him actually washed and pressed. Pa rt part two of the week and certainly better than part one. It was extremely wet across england and wales with a number of flood warnings remaining in force, though these will abate over the next few days because we have dry and sunny weather, but it will be colder overnight with cold weather. Fairly windy conditions across scotland and the Northern Isles with some showers, easing away as low pressure pulses off towards scandinavia and High Pressure continues to build. But for most, its been a fine afternoon with plenty of sunshine. Clear skies, light winds, afternoon with plenty of sunshine. Clearskies, light winds, no showers, clearing away from the northeast in scotland, easing down overnight. But it will be a cold one, notice the blues appearing across northern and central areas, meaning widespread frost is expected, in towns and cities. It seems expected, in towns and cities. It seems scenes like this on monday morning, blue sky of a cold and crisp with frost around. It should bea crisp with frost around. It should be a lovely sunny day, and it will stay dry and bright for most of us. A bit more of a breeze, towards the north of scotland. The area of low pressure northwest nearby will send those fronts in. High pressure continues to dominate as we head on a tuesday. Youll notice that weather fronts associated with this low system continue to plague the southwest corner, so it will stay breezy here with more clout, lots of showers pushing into the Channel Islands into cornwall and devon. But elsewhere it should be another dried day after a cold and frosty start with plenty of sunshine around. A bit of clout affecting more seacoast, thats because theres more of an on sea breeze here. Temperatures at 9 12dc, around 1213dc to the temperatures at 9 12dc, around 12 13dc to the far southwest. Mid week onwards, we see subtle changes, the area of low pressure comes in further. Still dry and chilli with sunshine in the east, then by thursday and friday, it looks like low pressure thursday and friday, it looks like low pressure wins out to bring cloud and rain, more of a breeze and also turning milder.

There was heartbreak for wales at the Rugby World Cup. They lost 19 points to 16 in the semi final to south africa, wholl now play england in the final next weekend. Andy swiss reports from yokohama. The anticipation was deafening. Wales fa ns the anticipation was deafening. Wales fans hoping for history. Could theyjoin England Wales fans hoping for history. Could they join england in wales fans hoping for history. Could theyjoin england in the World Cup Final . Well, their passion was obvious. But they would need poise as well. A scrappy first half will not have revealed much to watching england coach eddie jones, not have revealed much to watching england coach eddiejones, but the springboks edged it. Pollard booted them 9 6 ahead at the break. After it, wheelss task got even tougher. A bulldozing performance put south africa in command. But wheels are a side of remarkable resilience and back they came. I world cup semifinal try josh adams gave the fa ns semifinal try josh adams gave the fans fresh hope. Suddenly it was 1616. What fans fresh hope. Suddenly it was 16 16. What drama. With less than five minutes left, though, a penalty to south africa and under the fiercest pressure, pollard held his nerve. It had not been pretty from the springboks, but it was enough and while they celebrated, for wales, the dream was once against dashed. A third world cup semifinal defeat in desperate disappointment. Proud of us when we went 16 16, but obviously, we had a penalty and south africa took advantage, so congratulations to them. Really proud of these guys. They gave 100 and they continue to do so. We got ourselves back in that game, really close context. Absently gutted. It could have gone either way. How close was it . This is the fourth defeat ive been to, so fingers crossed one day we will get there. Agonisingly close, then, for wales, but for the fancier, that wont be much consolation. Instead, south africa will face england here next weekend in the World Cup Final. In the early game in the premier league, ten man newcastle drew 1 1 with wolves at st jamess park, keeping them just above the relegation zone. Jamaal lascelles gave newcastle the lead just before half time with this header. Jonny then equalised for wolves after an errorfrom martin dubravka. But newcastle went down to ten men after Sean Longstaff was shown a straight red in the 82nd minute for this high tackle on ruben nevez, and despite a late barrage from wolves, steve bruces side held on for a point. The second half is just getting under way in the other three games. At carrow road, Manchester United are 2 0 up against norwich. Goals from Scott Mctominay and marcus rashford.

At anfield, tottenham captain harry kane scored in the very first minute to put spurs ahead of League Leaders liverpool. Defending champions arsenal beat title rivals Manchester City in the womens super league. Top scorer vivianne miedema got the goal of the game to end citys unbeaten run this season.

Meanwhile the scottish champions celtic scored four unanswered goals at pittodrie to beat aberdeen by the biggest margin at their ground for 11 years. Joe lynskey reports. For celtic, the lead league title needs a special focus this time. They faced revitalised rivals and play in europe most thursdays. Come sundays, that means they want the work done early. As aberdeen, this was the start of a first half throughout. The first of four different goal scorers and the one it meant the most who was their teenage full back, forcing this over the line. 18 and signed from Manchester City this summer, this was his first senior goal. Aberdeens european dream ended in august. They are now a long way from where they want to be. As James Forrest strolled through for 3 0, the fans walked home and celtics biggest win here this decade was sealed in 44 minutes. Perhaps more importantly, it is their first away win for six weeks and in the title race emerging as the closest in yea rs, race emerging as the closest in years, celtic, once again, have momentum.

Taylor is now undefeated in 16 fights. Lewis hamilton will start from third place at the Mexican Grand Prix after red bulls Max Verstappen was stripped of pole position.

The front row, but an incident in the qualifying session saw a crash and then a slowdown. He was penalised and dropped back three places, so once again, it is six consecutive ferrari pole positions. Can that team Work Together and turn that into a win . I suppose the lead of that situation, we know that the dynamics going on our fluid we know that the dynamics going on ourfluid to say we know that the dynamics going on our fluid to say the least. Will hamilton get that sexy championship . He must finish on the podium to do that and the points to score big this weekend. 14 points between them. As you can see, the fans are pouring in and it should be a fantastic race. Fingers crossed, we should be in for a corker. Its exactly one year since the devastating Helicopter Crash at Leicester City which killed the clubs chairman. Four others died when the aircraft suffered a catastrophic fault as it left the king power stadium. Simon hare looks back on the events of that night, and the tributes which continue to be paid. 0ctober october 27, 2018 was the darkest day in history of leicester football club. The chairmanHelicopter Crashed outside the power stadium as it collected him after a game. Also on board, two pilots and two of his staff. It was very surreal to see these flames. You dont normally see big fires like that and people were running around in a confused state. 0h, running around in a confused state. Oh, my god, a helicopter hasjust crashed next to the stadium. Ambulances and police and fire were coming flying past. I was travelling on my way home when it was interrupted on the radio that there had been an accident. I never for one minute conceives that it had been such a tragedy. Nick and i were actually in the back of the appliance on the way, so we had a discussion between us about what it could be. Probably halfway into the journey, ctrl came on to us over the radio to confirm what it was. We kind of hoped that it was not the helicopter and that nobody had been hurt, but then, obviously, we started getting more information and piecing everything together. It was just the most frightening experience for everybody. This surely cant be happening. There were literally members of the public coming to help. All levels of services, staff, you name it. Its reassuring to see that when things go pear shaped, which sometimes they do, there are a lot of people out there willing to step forward and help out. But despite everyone has my efforts, no one on board could be saved. Earlier this month, another fans walk to the grounds was held to mark the anniversary. 0nce walk to the grounds was held to mark the anniversary. Once again, they turned up in their thousands. We will never, ever forget what that man did for ourclub. Will never, ever forget what that man did for our club. Never. We just wa nt man did for our club. Never. We just want to commemorate him as best we can, make sure that we show our support not only for him but for the club. He will always live on in everybodys heart in leicester a nyway everybodys heart in leicester anyway because he gave such a lot to the city and he gave us a dream that we never thought we would have. Just aim to update you on the football and Jordan Henderson has levelled for liverpool against tottenham, now 11 for liverpool against tottenham, now 1 1 after 55 minutes and at the emirates, Crystal Palace have equalised against arsenal. 2 2 for them. Thats all the sport for now. Its now time for the film review. Hello and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. To take us through this weeks cinema releases is mark kermode, as ever. Hello, mark. Hi. We have a very, very interesting week. We have the last black man in San Francisco, which is a Sundance Film Festival hit. We have monos, an extraordinary feature from alejandro landes. And black and blue, a thriller starring naomie harris. Theres been quite a lot of talk about all of these, actually. There has so, San Francisco features . Yeah, so this was a film that was funded initially by crowdfunding. They appealed for crowdfunding with an idea and they did really, really well. It is co written by and stars jimmie fails, who plays a man who is desperate to retrieve his family home in the upmarket filmore district of San Francisco. He has a very good friend with whom he tours around the city with and they have been pushed to the outskirts, and visit this house regularly, which is now lived in by a white couple. He believes they dont look after the house properly. He turns up and starts painting the windowsills. Theyre going, go away its and he says, well, youre not looking after it properly. He arrives there one day to discover that they themselves have been thrown out of the house there has been an inheritance problem, theyre not longer living there, so the house is now empty. He decides were going to move back in and he goes to see his aunt to get all the furniture and all the furnishings that used to be in the house before they moved out. Heres a clip. Your daddy didnt send you here, right . No. You sure . I swear to god. Because i hope hes done dragging you into his schemes. Auntie, this is for us. 0k. Im proud of you. I really am. Thank you. I miss that city. 0h ooh you still look good though, baby you still look good. Mmm. What i love about this and i think you get a little sense from that is it has a surreal comic element to it, but it also has a lot of pathos and element of tragedy about it. 0n the one hand, it is about how place changes through gentrification, because the whole thing is his grandfather made the house and they want to get back to it. 0n the other hand, it is about how any place changes, depending on the way you look at it. There is this lovely thing about the two main characters skateboarding through the city and you see the city passing by them but you also see the bond between them, because one of them has to put his hand on the others shoulders in order for them to skateboard together. And it is about how people and places are intertwined. Funnily enough, the director described it as a love story between a man and a house. It is partly about history, partly about personal relationships. It has the most wonderful score by emile mosseri, who i hadnt come across their work before. This score lends a fairytale aspect to this story. Because on the one hand, it is a story about a prince being exiled from his castle. It could be quite an angry film, because gentrification makes some people, you know, quite upset. Yes, and it absolutely isnt although there is a thread of anger in the narrative but what is lovely about it is its actually strangely gentle, strangely serene almost dreamy. And i spent a long time watching it thinking that the real genius of this on the one hand, the music is fabulous and it has this look about it which is that you get into the rhythm of the piece, that you learn to slightly slow yourself down and attune to the frequency of the film. It is very rich, very rewarding, often very funny, but also it has a real tragicomic dark heart to it. It is about a very real thing about something changing, about memory, about history and about gentrification but also it is kind of a fairytale. It was made from the ground up for very little money and it was backed by brad pitts plan b. And its really remarkable. Interesting. Really interesting. I dont even know how to begin to describe the second film. Yes thankfully, youre here have you seen monos . I havent seen it yet. I am bemused trying to read about it. Monos almost defies description by words because it is a audio visual experience. So it is directed by alejandro landes, who is a colombian ecuadorian film maker. It is a story about teenage guerrilla soldiers in an unnamed location atop of a mountain above the cloud line where they are basically being trained and theyre looking after an american prisoner. We dont have geopolitical details of where they are, even when this is and how this got there. At the beginning, they are being trained by somebody called the messenger, who leaves and leaves them to their own devices. There is a motive in the film of a pigs head on a stick there is a motif in the film of a pigs head on a stick which of course immediately makes you think lord of the flies. Lord of the flies, yes. There is a lot of lord of the flies. There is a lot of heart of darkness and, by extension, coppolas apocalypse now. Also, this reminded me of theres a really strange movie about child soldiers called johnny mad dog, which is very hallucinogenic, very moving, very upsetting and horrifying. I also saw echoes of other films. It reminded me of barbet schroeder, that film la vallee. It is a film which is so kaleidoscopic that despite the fact it is about, on the one hand, child soldiers, it is about so much more. It is a coming of age story. It has this universal feel because you never know where the story is taking place, or when. It is about the Group Dynamics between this cast fracture and splinter. The cast is made up of, on the one hand, people who have never done any on screen work before and on the other hand, at least one cast member was a regular on Hannah Montana and is the comic lead in the kings of summer, which is my favourite coming of age movie, and who i did not recognise until halfway through the film. It has a score by mica levi that is quite the most astonishing thing i have heard in years. It is brilliant. It is absolutely brilliant and indescribable. I was about to say defies description. Defies description, yes. The third choice, naomie harris, i love her. She is great. Tell me its great, please. Shes the best thing in it. It is a very a nuts and bolts thriller with a nice set up. Which is that she is a rookie policeman, there is racism in the force. But the film is called black and blue, and she is told she has to decide between being black or blue. Now, she is blue, she is a policewoman. Very early on, she sees her colleagues committing an appalling act which she accidentally films on her body cam. Then they are after her, and she is in an area in which the criminals are after her as well. So she is on the run from everyone. Heres a clip. Hello . Its me. Its me. The hell is going on . Is that blood . I need sugar. Look, i dont know whats going on, but you cant be in here. Ive been shot. What . What do you mean . Can i use your phone . Who shot you . Can i use your phone . You got to go i dont want no part to this the police is riding around here all the time theyll help you. It was the cops that shot me. So thats a great set up and she is really terrific and she elevates it from being essentially a nuts and bolts b movie thriller into being something more than that. Narratively, theres a weird echo of do you remember that film set in belfast called 71, about basically a british squaddie who is suddenly separated from his fellow and finds himself trapped in this area where he doesnt understand the situation, doesnt understand the landscape and it kind of takes place over one night . This has a similar sort of claustrophobia to it. It is very efficiently put together. So there are some very tense set pieces. As the narrative goes on, it becomes slightly more and more unbelievable, and in the end, it becomes rather ridiculous but all the way through it, you believe in her. And because you believe in her, you believe in the story. And i am a real sucker for a well executed genre picture. You know, a well executed, stripped down genre picture which is what this is. It may well be more at home on dvd or in streaming. I dont think it will be a huge cinema hit, by any means, but i think she is really great and it is done efficiently by someone who understands i mean, its interesting that the director comes from a horror thriller background and you know how i feel about that and that is a great thing, thats a really good training ground, and i think she really elevates it to the next level. 0k, best out is probably something we all need to cheer us up in these dark times. 90 minutes of pure goodness the shaun the sheep movie, farmageddon. Which is just what i am a huge aardman fan anyway. Yes, yes, me too. Ijust smiled and laughed and giggled all the way through. It is a shaun the sheep movie with a kind of et twist to it. It doesnt matter what age you are, it is just so charming and funny and moving, and made with real care and love, and i am a huge silent movie fan. Because there is no dialogue in it. So much of it is just to do with silent movie humour. Incidentally, the combine harvester youre seeing is a set up for a gag which i laughed about for about three minutes. Honestly, it will make everyone feel the world is a better place. It is so lovely. I think we should have that on prescription then, the whole nation. Really should. Dont feel very well . See farmageddon. You will feel better. Quick thought about dvd as well. Very quickly, brightburn did not take a huge amount of money in cinemas. It is a dark take on the superman origins myth. I do not know much about it before i saw it and consequently, i really enjoyed it. I like the idea of taking a story that people know quite well and flipping it. It is not the most original thing in the world it takes a lot of influences from predecessor writing and also films but i liked the fact that it has the strength of its convictions and it seemed to take itself seriously enough to work. So it is a dark take on the superman origins myth. I know you have a certain fondness for superhero movies. Im certainly married to someone who loves all of that, so, yes, that will be on our shelf. Yeah, exactly. But farmageddon, farmageddon, farmageddon. Double bill farmageddon and monos. Your mind will be blown. Thats my weekend sorted thank you very much enjoy your cinema going, whatever you see. Really, really interesting week. Thanks for being with us. See you next time. Bye bye. Hello there. Part two of the weekend certainly better than part one. It was extremely wet across england and wales with a number of flood warnings remaining in force although these will abate over the next few days. Why . Because we have High Pressure dominating, lots of dry and sunny weather but colder with overnight frosts. High pressure has been pushing in from the atlantic through the course of sunday. Fairly windy conditions across scotland and the Northern Isles and some showers as well, eating away as low pressure pushes off towards scandinavia and High Pressure continues to build in, but for most, a fine afternoon with plenty of sunshine. It is going to bea plenty of sunshine. It is going to be a finer night as well with clear skies, light winds, though showers clearing away from the north east of scotla nd clearing away from the north east of scotland or easing down, i should say, by the end of the night, but a cold one. Notice the blues are clearing across central and Northern Areas and in towards the west, a widespread frost expected and even called, as you can see, further southin called, as you can see, further south in towns and cities. Do not be surprised to wake up to scenes like this on monday morning. Blue skies, but cold and crisp with some frost around. The flusher tend to live quite quickly through the morning as it will be a lovely, sunny day and it will be a lovely, sunny day and it will be a lovely, sunny day and it will stay dry and bright for most of us. More of a breeze again, some cloud, the odd shower for the of us. More of a breeze again, some cloud, the odd showerfor the north of scotla nd cloud, the odd showerfor the north of scotland and we will also see some cloud building in towards the far south west with an area of low pressure nearby here sending its weather fronts in. Temperatures between nine and 12 degrees, a few degrees cooler than what we had on sunday. High pressure continues to dominate as we head on into tuesday but you will notice the weather fronts associated with this low pressure system continue to plague the south west corner sourcing breezy here. Mcleod, perhaps a few showers pushing into the Channel Islands, cornwall and devon, showers pushing into the Channel Islands, cornwalland devon, but elsewhere, another dry day after a cold, frosty start. Plenty of centring around with just a bit of cloud affecting some north sea coast with a bit more of an onshore breeze here. Temperature wise, again, nine to 12 degrees, around 12 or 13 perhaps in the far south west. Mid week onwards, subtle changes with the area of the pressure beginning to encroach in further. It could bring wetter, windier weather to the west of the uk. Still dry in chile with some sunshine in the east and then by thursday and, indeed, friday, High Pressure winning out to bring cloud and rain, more of a 00 59 00,740 4294966103 13 29,430 breeze and also getting milder
