South africa are the Rugby World Cup champions for the third time in the tournaments history. The spring boks took the title in japan beating england 32 points to 12 in the final overpowering the english in the second half of the game. It was a historic win for the rainbow nation and for many it was more than just a rugby match as Andrew Harding reports from johannesburg. The final whistle, and across south africa, the sense of a nation coming together, celebrating more than just a rugby match. It means unity, it means unity to south africa. We have been needing this. So it wasjust an amazing atmosphere. Really the peoples enjoying it, everybody together, south africa as one nation. This is actually something positive that we can actually celebrate as a country, and yeah, well done to the boks. After years of slow racial transformation, south africa finally has a rainbow team. This is what we can do as a team when we decide on one goal and one dream and we give it our best, so thank you very much. Cheering it is 2a years since Nelson Mandela celebrated south africas first Rugby World Cup victory, but that team was overwhelmingly white. Today, captain siya kolisi has become a new symbol of hope and progress in a country still facing huge challenges. For years, the news from south africa has been relentlessly bad corruption, inequality, a country losing its way. Does today change that . Of course not, but this victory is a reminder of the Bigger Picture of how much has changed here since the days of racial apartheid. This is, after all, a vibrant, young democracy with a world beating rugby team. Andrew harding, bbc news, johannesburg. A bomb has exploded in a town in Northern Syria occupied by turkish forces, killing at least 13 people. The Turkish Defence ministry has blamed the kurdish ypg Militia Group for the attack in a region controlled until last month by the kurdish Led Syrian Democratic forces. No group has said it carried out the attack in tal abyad, which is close to the turkish border. Heres the bbcs middle east analyst, alan johnston. The moments after the blast. Amid the smoke and the debris they try to take in what has just happened. This was a car bomb that went off near a market. Civilians were among the casualties but also syrian arab militiamen who were allied with the Turkish Military. The turks, in a major offensive, recently took this town from local kurdish fighters. Turkey regards them as terrorists, and it has been determined to drive them away from border areas like this. The turks have blamed the kurdish ypg militia for the bombing. The ypg hasnt responded to the accusation. Tal abyad town is in its first days under Turkish Military control and what has just happened suggests that making it secure may not be easy. Another story coming from the region turkey says it will send fighters from the Islamic State group that its captured in syria, back to their home countries. Its criticised european states for being reluctant to take the fighters and their families back. Translation concerning the foreigners, we will keep them under our control for some time to come. Then, well send them back to their countries. Were not a hotel for daesh members. This new method where they say, we took his nationality away, now its your problem. Thats unacceptable in our view. Thats totally irresponsible. Lets be clear, what do you want me to do with your terrorist . Lets get some of the days other news.

Airbnb says it will ban so called party houses after five people were killed in a shooting at a California Home that had been rented through the service. Airbnbs Ceo Brian Chesky tweeted that the company would redouble its efforts to combat unauthorized parties and get rid of abusive hosts and guest conduct. 0ur correspondent Chris Buckler has the details. For anyone who has not used airbnb, its a website that allows people to go on and advertise their rooms or their houses for generally a short term let and other people can go on and rent them. But there have been some Horror Stories in the past. For example, there was a man who was banned from airbnb after renting a property and cramming 200 people in it and cramming 250 people in it for a new years eve party. And there have been many stories of houses being badly damaged by those who have rented them. And parties have been a big issue for the company for a very long time. But what has led them to act is a party that was thrown at a home in 0rinda, which is an affluent suburb in San Francisco last week. A woman rented the house, claiming she wanted to find a place to allow her asthmatic family to escape from the smoke from the california wildfires. In fact, she threw a Halloween Party in which 100 people turned up and it descended into violence, in which there where shootings and five people died in their 20s and their late teens. Now, airbnb has said that is completely unacceptable and they say they are going to put in place new policies that will ban party houses. That might prove difficult to do, but brian chesky, who is the co founder and chief executive officer of airbnb has set out a number of things that they are going to do. He says, they are going to create a dedicated party house Rapid Response team and that they are going to screen high risk reservations, among other things. Hes pretty blunt in these posts on twitter.

The decision to suspend fracking came after a Technical Report said it wasnt possible to predict the probability or seriousness of earth tremors caused by extracting shale gas from the ground. Our Business CorrespondentKatie Prescott reports. Its farewell to fracking, for now. These campaigners in lancashire couldnt be happier to see the back of it. Were delighted about it, its what weve been hoping for all the time. We dont trust them, of course. They could change their mind yet. Its good news, obviously. Its good news for the whole country, but in particular here, where people have put up with this for the best part of three years now. All this stuff going on for no apparent gain. So, three years, all that money pumped in, all that effort, and theyve produced next to nothing. The process of extracting shale gas is one of the most controversial of our time. Using pressurised water and chemicals to break up rock causes minor earthquakes. Today, the oil and gas regulator says the impact on these communities is unacceptable, which Means Companies must stop the operations. In the past borisjohnson has called fracking glorious news for humanity. But the government says it has changed its mind. There is no doubt that extracting more natural gas in the United Kingdom would be very attractive but weve always been clear, we can only do that if it can be done safely. We will follow the science, so in future, should the ability to be certain about seismic events and so on, we will look at it again. The government had hoped sites like these would transform our energy policy. Creating home grown sources of power that would reduce our gas imports. Frackings industry body says. But the green party says fracking is a fantasy and want to see a permanent ban. Labour say they fear the governments stance could be an election ploy. I think it sounds like fracking would come back on the 13th of december if they were elected back into office. We are quite clear, we will end fracking. The big question now is whether the industry will be willing to invest any more money here, in the hope that the science will one day find in their favour and the regulation could change. Katie prescott, bbc news. A women has died after her car was hit by a falling tree in dorset. Strong winds and rain have also suspended passengerferries in and out of dover. Gusts of more than 80 Miles Per Hour brought down power lines and caused transport disruption across large parts of southern england. Met Office Warnings about heavy rain remain in place for wales and North Eastern scotland. Boris johnson is under pressure to release a report on alleged Russian Election interference. The chairman of parliaments intelligence and security committee, dominic grieve, has told the bbc it was essential to publish the report before mps are sent away on tuesday for the start of britains five week election campaign. I cannot think of a reason why he should wish to prevent this report being published. This report is germane, because we do know, i think it is widely accepted, that the russians have sought to interfere in countries democratic processes in the past. 0ur security correspondent Gordon Corera says the amount of information about whats actually in the report is limited. What we know is that the report is called russia, so it is pretty broad. One part is this issue of electoral interference. Weve had a lot of evidence and inquiry to the us issue of electoral interference, particularly the miller report in 2016 and so on. Nothing like that has ever been done in the uk in terms of the level of investigation. No one is sure whether there has been the same scale of potential interference in the uk but this report would be the closest thing to a Mueller Report to find that out. It will set russian espionage and subversion and other forms of russian influence but what we dont know although there have been some rumours, are what its conclusions are, whether there was a high level of russian interference and whether it was successful or not, we simply dont know that. In the next parliament, so a new committee would be formed. It could be a few months. It is that issue of whether it has information, as some have suggested, which is relevant to the way people might think about voting, even if it is not party political, about the electoral process and what is happening in elections. They feel that that needs to be seen this side of a general election so there will be more pressure in the next couple of days and we will see if the government gives in, and whether we see this report. This is bbc news, the headlines. South africa have won the Rugby World Cup, thrashing england in the final injapan. Its the third time theyve won the trophy. At least 13 people have been killed in a car bomb attack in a Syrian Border town occupied by turkish forces. Astronauts on board the International Space station will soon have the chance to test their baking skills. A rocket carrying a cargo craft has launched from the us state of virginia carrying nearly four tonnes of freight, including an oven and baking ingredients to make chocolate chip cookies. The scientific experiment will observe what affect the weightless conditions will have on the shape and consistency of the biscuits. Ken kremer of space upclose was at the launch in virginia and he joins us now from there. And often in space . how does it work . Oven. And often in space . how does it work . Oven. It has some heating elements, bait coil around it and in that they will put the cookies inside. Itll take one hour to heat up inside. Itll take one hour to heat up the oven, about half an hour to bake it, half an hour to let it cool then they will take it out. So it is going to take quite a bit longer than here on earth. How will they taste . Than here on earth. How will they taste . Thats the big question, roll the astronauts actually taste them . Ive actually got some of those cookies right here that we got from the company that is sponsoring this experiment. And they taste pretty good to me. How they will taste in space we dont know. It is an experiment. It is a good experiment. We are doing this because we want to bring the comforts of earth after space. The astronauts will be up there for quite a long time. It is nice for them to have fresh food. Was this a request from the astronauts themselves that they wa nted astronauts themselves that they wanted chocolate chip cookies to bake themselves . I dont think it was a request by the astronauts are a lwa ys was a request by the astronauts are always always looking for improvements to the menu. What happened was that in the zero g kitchen, marseille gets very many experimental proposals, and they said that they would work with the tea m said that they would work with the team to make these zero g cookies. So there was a suggestion from the outside but the astronauts are a lwa ys outside but the astronauts are always looking for something good to eat, just like you and i. How important is good food to astronauts important is good food to astronauts in space . Im glad you asked. It is critical. You want meals ready to eat everyday . I dont think so, you wa nt eat everyday . I dont think so, you want a little variety and have a little fresh stuff. This is good their psychological comfort. And their psychological comfort. And their taste. So it is really important to have the comforts of home up there in space and to eat something that is fresh instead of just reconstituted or you add water 01 just reconstituted or you add water or you just heated, so it is fresh so or you just heated, so it is fresh so it should be really nice. In england you can buy that freeze dried ice cream. It tastes kind of money but i guess what they wa nt kind of money but i guess what they want in space is fresh food. Where does this then . Will they be able to roast joints of meat does this then . Will they be able to roastjoints of meat in space, new barbecues . Actually, they are doing an experiment to create artificial meat and we have experiments are ready to grow vegetables so we are growing lettuce and the astronauts get to taste that and they are happy when they get to taste that, something fresh, from home. We are already doing other kinds of things but this is the first cookies in space. I bet they are looking forward to that. Thank you for joining us. Thank you for having me. Police in hong kong have fired tear gas to try to disperse pro democracy activists gathering for an unofficial protest. Its the 22nd weekend of demonstrations in the semi autonomous territory. Protesters gathered at Victoria Park after the leading activistjoshua wong called for 100,000 people to attend the rally. Hes been disqualified from standing in forthcoming District Council elections. 0ur correspondent Stephen Mcdonell reports from downtown hong kong. Well, its sort of quietened down and there is not as many protesters around. The police have adopted what you might call a kind of zero tolerance approach to marching today. Now in their thousands, many thousands, protesters turned out today and you will hear people, by the way, shouting out at the police who were kind of mopping up what there is left off tonights protest. But they have come in very quickly, grabbing people and just marching. Thats enough to see people being detained today. We have seen these officers moving in, now they are sort of fanning out down the road and down here. And telling people that they have to get out of the streets and if we come round here now, spraying pepper spray at people. So we are having these kind of tense scenes like this. The world famous caves in the northern province of chiang rai in thailand have officially re opened to tourists. They had been closed to visitors since the Wild Boars Football Team and their coach were rescued alive last year after nearly three weeks trapped inside. Tiffany sweeney reports. Tourists in thailand have entered the tham luang cave for the First Time Since the dramatic rescue that captivated the world. Over a year ago, 12 boys entered the vast cave in northern thailand, with their football coach to relax after training. A trip that went horribly wrong. Flooding left the team trapped inside the cave for 17 days. They were eventually freed in an International Rescue effort that involved more than 90 divers. More than Million People have visited the cave in the past year, but they have not been allowed to go inside. Translation we have been gradually improving this area. Today is one of new beginnings. We are now in a trial phase to see how many tourists we can take into and out of the cave. At the moment, we think we can safely control the entrance to the cave and, therefore, we opened it for visitors to come and see. The world famous cave reopening has attracted 2,000 tourists in a single day. Translation its fascinating. Its a total miracle that the boys were trapped inside the cave and they were still unharmed. I think its to do with their luck. The death of a former Thai Navy Seal and rescue volunteer, who ran out of air while returning through the caves, highlighted just how dangerous the mission was. A year later, the boys have had their story detailed in books, documentaries and have secured the rights to a netflix series. Tiffany sweeney, bbc news. Its almost six decades since the brutal war of independence in algeria came to an end and france was forced to withdraw from its former north african colony. Left behind were thousands of algerians who had chosen to fight on the side of the french army. They then faced brutal persecution. 0ur colleagues at witness history have been hearing from one algerian man, serge carel, who sided with the french, but was left to his own fate when the europeans went home. Translation the harki were local forces on the side of the french army in algerias independence war. We gave everything for france, but what we didnt know was that france would abandon us. Archive as tension rises in french north africa, france arms her algerian supporters for defence against rebels. The prefect of the province personally hands out weapons to Muslim Recruits at madroma, where hundreds are being enrolled daily. Translation i was about 17 and a half, 18 years old at the time. You had to choose between france and the fln rebels. My father had been in the french army and had fought in world war i. My brothers were also in the french army so i chose france. I was proud of what we did. Proud of serving france. We were always sent out in front of the french troops. If there was an attack, the harki would be the first to die. We had to get rid of the fln fighters who were terrorising the population. We always knew that one day algeria would gain its independence. What general de gaulle should have done is take all the harki and theirfamilies to safety in france. But when independence was declared in 1962, the french disarmed the harki and left us defenceless. The fln took advantage of this and began to round us all up. They took me to a barracks where there were about 50 other harki prisoners. There was blood everywhere. They stripped me naked and started torturing me with electric shocks. Each time, a new group of soldiers came on shift, they began again. The same thing every day. The fln even made us dig our own graves. Some people were thrown in alive, some were thrown into the river and the jackals did the rest. I was arrested onjuly the 8th 1962, and i escaped on september the 10th 1962. It took me a long time to feel welcome here in france. I decided to change my name and convert to catholicism. I wanted to make a fresh start. I could say that i was born under a lucky star and that i am lucky. But not all the harki were so lucky and thats the fault of france. As wildfires have raged across parts of eastern australia there have been concerns over the fate of hundreds of koalas. Many are believed to have died in the flames centred around 400km north of sydney. But as the bbcs tim allman reports, there have been some survivors. His name, for reasons unexplained, is corduroy paul, and hes been very, very lucky indeed. He was found curled up in a ball, dehydrated and clinging to life. Along with another koala called anwin, corduroy paul survived the fires that have ravaged his habitat. Thousands of hectares of land destroyed, trees and foliage turned to ash. Koalas are especially vulnerable, often defenceless in the face of the flames. Its just gone straight through and very little would actually survive in there unscathed. Wallabies, kangaroos, deer can get out because they can run, but koalas just really cant. In the last few days, sydney has been shrouded in smoke. The strong winds have fanned dozens of bushfires. They are an annual occurrence, but they have come unusually early this year. There are no reports so far of any injuries to people at least, but the scale of whats happening is frightening, nonetheless. Very scary. Weve been clearing out as much as we can of leaf litter and stuff like that, but what else can you do . This whole area is home to a very rare, genetically diverse koala population. As these fires recede, they will look to see how many remain. Corduroy paul may have survived, but for others, it could well be a different story. Tim allman, bbc news.

Some strong gusts to the far north of scotland. Temperatures between ten and 1a celsius with some dry areas, some sunshine to be had in places, but as we go on through sunday, that the pressure makes another push at us with this rain coming in through england and wales and Northern Ireland and we could see some heavier downpours, with further rain pushing on across eastern scotland. Some of that looks quite heavy. Nowhere particularly cold as we start the day on monday. Clearly, low pressure is in charge. Quite blustery through parts of scotland, with an easterly wind coming in, again towards the south coast of england, and heavy showers across southern parts which may come with a rumble of thunder.
