Footballing legend Jimmy Greaves has died. He was 81. Hello and welcome if youre watching in the uk or around the world. Russias marathon parliamentary election is over, and the authorities insist it was transparent and fair, despite widespread allegations of electoral fraud. According to an Exit Poll quoted by russian media, Vladimir Putins united Russia Party has scored a resounding win but many prominent Opposition Politicians were barred from standing, with some even forced to flee the country. This report is from our correspondent Steve Rosenberg in moscow. Theres something rather odd about a russian election. Polling stations turn into musicals. Buses turn into Polling Stations. We found this one just outside of moscow. They were surprised to see us. And across russia, they have been voting for three days. It looks like a regular election. There are voters and there are parties to vote for, but most Opposition Politicians and activists in other words, the kremlin� s most vocal critics are banned from the ballot. At Polling Station 475, a hooded woman was caught on camera apparently stuffing ballot boxes. When she had finished one pile, out came another. And so it went On And on. And here, someone is using a mop to cover up cctv but they forgot about the other camera that caught them pushing up the handle. At the moscow call centre, an independent Vote Monitor says its been made aware of more than 4,000 possible instances of fraud in this election. If you talk about standards, some European Standards that was assigned by russia as well, russian elections are not free and fair when we compare it with the standards. Russias State Election Commission concedes there have been some issues at some Polling Stations and says it has taken appropriate action but it denies violations are widespread. The official view here is that criticism of this election is a western plot to tarnish russias image. Mark galeotti is a russian Affairs Analyst and author of we need to talk about putin. Welcome to Bbc News, mark. It does look as if vladimir Putins Party will easily win this election, so why does the contest still matter so much . ~ ,. , why does the contest still matter so much . ~ ,. , , much . Well, it still matters because this is not a much . Well, it still matters because this is not a total, much . Well, it still matters because this is not a total, totalitarian this is not a total, totalitarian enrichment, this is not like the chinese elections where he gets elected with 100 , but there is still some debate. There is room for opposition particularly within the so called systematic Opposition Parties like the communists who have polled very strongly this time round, so, in some ways the importance of a russian election is not the result because the result will be whatever the kremlin decides it will be, it is how much effort does the kremlin have to put in to getting that. And this shows there is considerable resistance to Putins Party, within the russian People. 50 Putins Party, within the russian eole. , Putins Party, within the russian eole. , i. Putins party, within the russian eole. ,. , People. So would you say that Vladimir Putin People. So would you say that Vladimir Putin and People. So would you say that Vladimir Putin and his People. So would you say that Vladimir Putin and his party i Vladimir Putin and his party politicians are having to respond to the needs of the People in some way . Absolutely, i mean the interesting thing is we know that the kremlin polls all the time, it is very concerned about whatest People are think, not because of any particularly positive reason but because it wants to avert the kind of open basically rebellion that we have seen in neighbouring belarus, so, you know, whether it is in terms of the fact it is stepped up its repressive attempts to crackdown on the opposition, or whether it is going to be because it has to offer different sweeter ins to different elements, one way or the other, because the kremlin doesnt want to have to rule purely by an iron fist, it does still from the to look at what the russian People want. Its a what the russian People want. Its a stranue what the russian People want. Its a strange shadow what the russian People want. Its a strange shadow world, what the russian People want. Its a strange shadow world, isnt it, that you write about with this gap between what is genuinely the case, and what is out there for public consumption. And what is out there for public consumption. Yes, absolutely, i mean, consumption. Yes, absolutely, i mean. And consumption. Yes, absolutely, i mean, and again, consumption. Yes, absolutely, i mean, and again, this consumption. Yes, absolutely, i mean, and again, this is consumption. Yes, absolutely, i mean, and again, this is really i mean, and again, this is really because, in some ways, although it is made something of a swing towards the authoritarian direction this is still what you could call a post modern authoritarianism, it doesnt above all want to rule by force, it wants to rule by control of the narrative, it wants to convince russians that although things may not be great, any change would be for the worse, and so far at least, putin has been successful about that. This election, though, gives us a few hints, a few signs that is is really wearing thing, that the patience of the russian People is beginning to wear out and that will pose a problem for the kremlin in future. 50 pose a problem for the kremlin in future. , pose a problem for the kremlin in future,. ,. , pose a problem for the kremlin in future. ,. , future.

Constitution, it is built round Vladimir Putin himself. So time is on their side but also this is one of the importances of elections like this, it does give that new generation of politicians a chance to cut their teeth, a chance to begin to learn the skills and build constituency, sure, this time round they wont get anywhere but the point is they begin to prepare themselves for a future election that might be much more open. That is fascinating that might be much more open. That is fascinating. Thank you for joining us. Thank you forjoining us. Let me bring you some spectacular live pictures from La Palma, one of spains Canary Islands where a volcano has erupted, spewing out lava, ash and a huge column of smoke. It follows warnings from scientists of the rising risk of an eruption after days of tremors, sparking the evacuation of People living nearby. The Cumbre Vieja Volcano last erupted 50 years ago. Spains prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is now on his way to La Palma, instead of his scheduled departure for the Un General Assembly in new york. A little earlier i spoke to Jonas Perez who is on the Island Right at the scene. Approximately 2. 00 today the island started with a new eruption, The Last One was in 1971 in the south, after almost a week of tremors, small ones and big ones, the volcano decided to start today, without much warning to be honest, because the tremors were not, not very intense and at the moment, i dont know if you can see the image, over there, it is still very much active. I mean, it is Day Number one, who knows how longmore it is going to be. Yes, we can see some the image, i am going to ask you to move your camera, to show us some more of the picture there, may be tilt it down a bit. So we can see the scale of the smoke and i imagine with all those farms, houses round, a lot of People will have been asked to evacuate . Correct. I will say that the South Section of the West Side of the island, centre south, has been evacuated, has been evacuated, because the volcanos erupting in an area where there are a lot of houses, we were expecting to have the volcanic eruption further down there, that is what the tremor, the concentration of all the tremors were taking place, but then eventually, just happened right up there, right at the base of a massive volcano, already with this one, the eighth time it erupts in the last 550 years or quite a lot. Are you still getting tremors, are you worried about more . Tremor, they are still there. You worried about more . Tremor, they are still there, they you worried about more . Tremor, they are still there, they havent you worried about more . Tremor, they are still there, they havent been are still there, they havent been above two in the Richter Scale . More, two, two and a half, something like this, but, now, the most amazing thing which i never experienced obviously, is that the noise coming from the volcano, it sounds like, i dont know, 20 fighterjets taking off, right now, and it is extremely loud, it is amazing. I and it is extremely loud, it is amazing and it is extremely loud, it is amazinu. ~. , amazing. I think that is proof we were really amazing. I think that is proof we were really in amazing.

We just lost the picture but we have got it back. 0bviously, lost the picture but we have got it back.

The fear comes from where the volcano is taking place, you see, because it is taking place in a dangerous area, i mean, you can see all those white little dot, those are houses and the volcano is coming towards these area, who knows what is going to happen, because being a volcanic island, sorry, it is actually the Lava Flow is going to move in different directions, see . But right now the danger, and the worry of People is what is going to happen with their own houses, because i am afraid that many houses are going to be taken down, because of the Lava Flow and its tragic really.

One of englands greatest and best known footballers, Jimmy Greaves, has died at the age of 81. He was tottenham hotspur� s Record Goalscorer with 266 goals. His former club said today they were extremely saddened to learn of his passing. Greaves began his career with chelsea, before spells at Ac Milan, spurs and West Ham. He was also part of englands 1966 World Cup winning squad and is one of the sides all time top scoring strikers. Andy swiss looks back at his life. He was one of the most natural finishers ever to play the game. Perhaps even the greatest Goal Scorer that england has produced. Its greaves oh, and a Hat Trick for greaves he was devilishly funny as well, with his wit and his personality. So charismatic. But on the field of play, People will remember him most, those of us who are old enough to have witnessed his magnificence at times. He could score all sorts of goals. He was a beautifully graceful footballer and a wonderful finisher. Jimmy greaves made his name at chelsea, before moving to Ac Milan in 1961. His European Adventure was brief, and he soon returned home to tottenham hotspur, The Club which would define his career. The goals kept on coming. His 266 at spurs remains a record to this day, and he scored 44 in just 57 games for england. He used to say to me, you do all the running, ill do all the scoring. And thats what he was. He was a great, great Goal Scorer. And in time to come, with stories known aboutJimmy Greaves, People will rememberJimmy Greaves, because theres been nobody better. Greaves was a key player, heading into the 1966 World Cup but early in the tournament, he was injured. And although he recovered by the final, he was left out in favour of geoff hurst. A disappointment which proved hard to take. I couldnt force myself to join the festivities, because id built, in my own mind, id built myself up that i was going to be in the side and i was going to be one of the key People. And suddenly it wasnt there. This is greaves after retiring in 1971, greaves struggled. Alcoholism was followed by bankruptcy. But he battled back from both to reinvent his career on television. Good day now, saint. What happened . There you are, favourites to qualify. Alongside ian stjohn, his Show Saint and greavsie was a huge hit with viewers. Although the programme ended in the early 90s, the affection for greaves certainly didnt. And in 2009, the man who famously missed out on the World Cup final at last received a winners medal. Today, England Manager Gareth Southgate confirmed that theyll Pay Tribute to him at englands next match, saying Jimmy Greaves was someone who was admired by all who loved football. The former Tottenham Player 0zzie ardiles said Jimmy Epitomises what spurs is. To dare is to do. While another great top Goal Scorer, England Captain Harry kane, described him as a true legend. This afternoon, fans gathered at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and gave their reaction. Jimmy absolutely gutted. Just an incredible player, fantastic on saint and greavsie. I think a lot of us grew up watching that. Hell always be remembered for| the great footballer that he was. His record, goal scoring record, absolutely stands up against anybody. Perhaps fittingly, spurs hosted chelsea this afternoon. There was a Minutes Applause, both here and at West Ham another club where his popularity endures. Applause. Greaves said all he ever wanted was to play the game and play it well. At times, he played it better than anyone, and made it look so easy. Jimmy greaves, whos died at the age of 81. Its the final day of campaigning in canadas parliamentary election ahead of mondays vote, and the latest Opinion Poll indicates its an extremely tight race. The poll shows prime Minister Justin trudeau now slighty trailing his conservative rival. It gives the liberal leader 32 , with his conservative Party Rival Erin 0toole One Point ahead at 33 . Because of the covid pandemic, Voter Turnout is expected to be lower that usual, making it even more difficult to predict who will win. In either case, a Minority Government is expected, in which the left wing new Democratic Party may hold the balance of power.

From what we are hearing from the conservatives and the liberals it will be super super tight, so as of now, the majority he wanted seems elusive to say the best. 50 wanted seems elusive to say the best,. , wanted seems elusive to say the best. ,. ,. , wanted seems elusive to say the best. ,. ,. , best.

They were the first all Amatueur Crew to go into space without a professional astronaut aboard. As Duncan Kennedy reports, their craft landed in the atlantic just off the coast of florida. Approximately 15 mph, when they touch the. This is the flight thats reinvented space flight. Applause the spacex mission, coming down in the atlantic, is the first all civilian crew to have orbited the earth. On behalf of spacex, welcome home to planet earth. Your mission has shown the world that space is for all of us. They were led by jared isaacman, a 38 year old billionaire who paid for all four seats on board. The four Day Mission began last wednesday, reaching a height of around 360 miles. Whoa among the crew was a cancer survivor, hayley arceneaux, who made the most of the craft� s uniquely large window. We can see the entire perimeter of the earth, which is so beautiful the crew did six months training, but it was the on board computers that controlled everything except the floating toy dog. I think the idea is that there is an awful lot that still needs to be accomplished in space. Theres an awful lot of it. We know so little about it. There may be some really interesting answers to questions we have all been asking for a long Time Out there.

Leaving you with more of those live pictures of the volcanic eruption on the Spanish Island of La Palma, in the canaries, Magma Spilling Downhill towards a residential area and destroying a few houses. Theres a two kilometre wide zone around the Lava Flow. Evacuations have taking place since seismic activity started there are no reports of any casualties. Thank you for being with us for our developing stories on Bbc News. Now its time for a look at the weather with stav. Hello there. We saw a reverse of fortune today, weather wise. It was the eastern side of the country which saw the cloud and the showers. Further west, we had the best of the sunshine. This week is also going to be a tale of two halves. We are starting the week off on a fine note with a ridge of High Pressure, plenty of sunshine and it will be quite warm. By The End of the week, low pressure takes over, bringing a risk of gales and it will feel cooler for us all as well. Eastern england continues to see these Weather Fronts through the evening and the overnight period, lingering around East Anglia and the south. Thunderstorms will fizzle out, but there will still be some heavy bursts of rain there. Some heavier cloud pushing into western scotland, perhaps Northern Ireland by The End of the night. But elsewhere, under Clear Skies and light winds, temperatures will dip into single figures for many with Mist And Fog developing. Still quite mild in the South East with that Weather Front 13 or 14 degrees. This is the Pressure Chart for monday. We will still have the Weather Front in the South East, a new cluster of Weather Fronts pushing into scotland and Northern Ireland as the day progresses, turning increasingly cloudier, breezy with a few showers. Well continue with a few heavy showers in the South East through the day. This also tending to fizzle out, but elsewhere, lots of sunshine. Feeling quite warm, maybe 21 or 22 degrees in the warmest spots. Now, our area of High Pressure continues to build in on tuesday, so i think at this stage, it looks like tuesday could be the best day of the week, regarding widespread sunshine and also warmth. A bit of Mist And Fog to start the day, and then many places will be dry with Lightish Winds and some good sunny spells. But it will be breezier for scotland and Northern Ireland, variable amounts of cloud, even some splashes of rain for western scotland. So, the high teens here, but further south, 20 or 22 celsius. Feeling very pleasant. Now we start to see some changes. By mid week, we will see this area of High Pressure pull away from the south. A deep area of low pressure to the north of the uk will begin to exert its force across scotland and Northern Ireland. Turning very windy here, with a Weather Front sinking into the South East, so outbreaks of rain, followed by sunshine and blustery showers. It could be windy with gales. England and wales not a bad day again, i think, for wednesday. We will see some good sunny spells around and it will be quite warm as well, but it will be breezier than monday and tuesday. And then, for The End of the week, thursday and friday, all areas look windier, particularly across the north of the country, where we will see further showers and it will feel noticeably colder in the north.
