During their National Anthem, protesting against racism in the us. Donald trump says theyre unpatriotic. And an exhilirating 53 ball century from moeen ali inspires englands cricketers to a comfortable win over west indies in the Third One Day International in bristol. Good evening and welcome to bbc news. Exit polls in germany suggest Angela Merkels party will once again be the largest in parliament after nationwide elections. That means she looks set for a fourth term as chancellor. Her christian democrats came out ahead of the second placed social democratic party, but with a significantly reduced level of support. Perhaps the shock of the day was the success of alternative for germany, now on course to become the first far right movement to enter the bundestag, since the second world war. Our berlin correspondent jenny hill is in the german capital for us tonight. Angela merkel knew shed win this election, but its not the victory shed hoped for. Exit polls suggest support for her party is now lower than its ever been under her leadership. A verdict perhaps on her decision to open germanys doors to hundreds of thousands of refugees. Translation lets not beat about the bush. Of course wed hoped for a better result, but lets not forget weve just had a very challenging four years. Thats why im happy to say we achieved the strategic goal of our campaign. We are the strongest party. For mrs merkel, a well trodden path. Arriving to vote with her husband today. Not so much a victory march, just the quiet confidence of a woman whos done 12 years in the job. Even so, they still checked her id. Just in case. Mrs merkel casts herself as a symbol of stability, security in a shifting world. For many a vote for Angela Merkel is a vote for the status quo. Her campaign has focused on herfamiliarity, her experience, and yet, it seems, that alone is no longer enough. Because this is todays real success story. Afd, anti islam, anti immigrant, anti euro, is now part of the german establishment. What is the political norm elsewhere in europe was unthinkable here. Not any more. Its a huge success. It will change the political system in germany and it gives back the voice to the opposition, which has not taken place in the German Parliament in recent years. Its a profound shift in post war german politics. Today, running together in berlin, but in the heart of this country there is division. Discontent. Translation they were like the nazis under hitler. I was born in 1939. I am a war child. I grew up in the ruins and now we get this again. They are criminals. I have always voted cdu and i want Angela Merkel again. Translation its difficult, there arent many alternatives to Angela Merkel. Translation she doesnt do much on her own initiative. She reacts a lot to what others do and thats a kind of stagnation. Angela merkel must now find a coalition partner. Dont expect afd to be included. That the party is in parliament at all horrifies the political mainstream. Exhausted, bruised, at the end of a long campaign. Angela merkels conservatives may be the winners, but this doesnt feel much like victory. Jenny hill, bbc news, berlin. The performance of the right wing, anti islam party afd led to dozens of protesters gathered outside their headquarters in berlin. A little earlier, our correspondent damien mcguinnesss gave us this update on those protests. So behind me you can see a row a police. See a row of police. There are quite a few. It goes all the way down street. It goes all the way down the street. There are hundreds of demonstrators, mostly young people. Lots of signs, anti afd signs. Now, these demonstrators are calling the afd neo nazis. They said that this party is a right wing extremist party. They are here because the afd has just been celebrating what it sees as an electoral victory. As you know, they have scored, according to the latest exit polls, more than 13 . They have gone from not being in parliament at all, to becoming the Third Largest party in parliament. That gives them a lot of seats. That is why these people are angry, because they feel this is a right wing populist party with views against muslims, against migrants, against minorities of all sorts. And they are not happy about it. I think this protest just goes to show how controversial this party is, this new party, that was only founded a few years ago. It started out as an anti europe party and, during the migration crisis, when germany saw more than 1. 5 million migrants and refugees coming to this country, it morphed into an anti migrant party. And that is where it sees its success. Now, we are going to have to see what the other parties do about it, because this has rocked the german establishment and no other German Party Leader in the other parties wants to work with this party, because it is seen as so toxic. But still, we have to face it, it looks like more than 13 of the population voted for them. So that is the debate that germany is going to have to have now. The labour Leaderjeremy Corbyn has resisted calls from some in the party to pledge to keep britain in the european Single Market after brexit. With their annual conference beginning in brighton today, 30 labour mps were among those who signed a letter suggesting workers would suffer if Market Access was restricted. But mr corbyn told the bbc that staying in could hamper a future Labour Governments ability to protect jobs. There will be no brexit vote during the conference. Heres our Political Correspondent eleanor garnier. You can take your partys conference out of westminster, bring it to the beach front in brighton, but brexit will follow you everywhere. Ok, here we go. He doesnt mind. Hes got a spring in his step after a better than expected election result. Jeremy corbyn is no longer fighting for his leadership, but pitching himself as a Prime Minister in waiting. We need at least two terms of a Labour Government to start to address issues of poverty and justice and inequality in britain and to build the houses that we need in this country. Jeremy corbyns certainly safe in hisjob, but hes dealing with division in his party over brexit. He argues leaving the Single Market will make it much easier to protect british workers and industry. We need to look very carefully at the terms of any trade relationship, because at the moment we are part of the Single Market, obviously. That has within it restrictions on state aid and state spending. That has pressures on it through the European Union to privatise rail, for example, and other services. I think we have to be quite careful about the powers we need as national governments. But more than a0 senior labour figures are pushing the leader to commit to staying in the Single Market after the uk leaves the eu. If you want frictionless trade and you want to put jobs first, the only way in my view you can do that is by staying permanently a member of the Single Market. Jeremy corbyns position and his policies in the party are now almost unchallenged, but you dont need to come far at this conference to see where division does actually lie. On the crucial issue of brexit. I support corbyn. I support momentum. I want a socialist programme in this country, but you need money for that, and if we leave the Single Market and the Customs Union well be an impoverished country and we wont have money to maintain things as they are. Jeremy corbyn as Prime Minister would be great, but parties come and go and we need to be in the eu. Thats the most important thing. No doubt theres high spirits among party members, but even withJeremy Corbyns now tight grip on labour, the Biggest Issue of the day the uks journey out of the eu will ensure there will be plenty of disagreements too. Eleanor garnier, bbc news, brighton. Well, speaking to us a little earlier, vicki young, our chief Political Correspondent, said that there is now a clear split within the Parliamentary Labour Party on the issue of brexit. We had 30 of them signing this open letter calling for the party to adopt a policy of staying in the Single Market even after any kind of transition period. That is not Labour Party Policy at the moment and relief through the gauntlet down to the leadership. Listening to Jeremy Corbyn this morning, maybe it shouldnt be surprising. Throughout his career he has been pretty eurosceptic. He will not go as far as saying we should stay in the Single Market, raising some of the problems he does have with it. This has caused fury among some labour mps. The reaction tonight on twitter and fringe meetings and some of them saying exactly that, that this is the Biggest Issue facing the country. Heidi alexander says she is gobsmacked and that they are a laughing stock for not discussing it. Chuka umunna says they should not that the debate but lead it and ben bradshaw says it undermines the claim that they are listening to members. In the last couple of minutes there has been an indication from labour sources that there may be something tomorrow. We know kia starmer, the shadow brexit secretary, will make a speech tomorrow. There seems to be a suggestion that could be broader and might bea suggestion that could be broader and might be a vote of some kind. I dont think it will be about many labour mps want about the Single Market in particular. This is a conundrum not just for the market in particular. This is a conundrum notjust for the tory party, we know they have had their issues with europe over the years and have seen a lot of it over the summer, that labour clearly has an issue as well. The headlines on bbc news exit polls in germany show Angela Merkel has been re elected chancellor for a fourth term. The labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, resists calls from within his own party to commit to keeping britain in the european Single Market and Customs Union indefinitely after brexit.

He says the American Football League should fire players who refuse to stand during the National Anthem. In a tweet, the president withdrew a white house invitation to a star player of americas basketball champions because he voiced concern at being in the white house with mr trump. Now one of americas greatest basketball stars, lebron james, has joined in the criticism of mr trump. This guy that weve put in charge has tried to divide us once again. We all know how much sports brings us together, how much passion it has, how much we love and care, and you know, the friendships and everything that it creates, and for him to try to use this platform to divide us even more is not something i can stand for, and is not something i can be quiet about.

Anyone who wants to take a knee, take a knee, but at the same time youve got to respect the troops, so. Respect the National Anthem, respect the flag, respect the country. But you know what, freedom of speech is an important thing. As an american, i dont think it is disrespectful to the country. Itsjust that they dont share the same opinion with the president , i guess, and theyve got different opinions, and they dont stand for this National Anthem at that particular point. Its not criminal. Its their right, and i think its symbolic of. Its very similar to what Martin Luther kin
