Sure. Borisjohnson tells his cabinet a brexit deal is on the horizon, but a statement from European Commission says a lot of work remains to be done. Stephen moore known as the voice of hitchhikers guide to the galaxys marvin the paranoid android has died aged 81 and well be taking an in depth look at the papers with our reviewers caroline frost and tony grew stay with us for that. Good evening. The United States is to withdraw all its remaining troops up to a thousand soldiers from northern syria, as turkeys offensive against the kurds intensifies. The us defence secretary said kurdish fighters would now be backed by syria and russia and america could not be caught between two opposing armies. Tonight Syrian Government troops are said to be heading towards the border after agreeing a deal with the kurds. The Turkish Operation is aimed at creating a so called safe zone in that area. The un says more than 100,000 people have been fleeing and families of is fighters are said to be among those whove escaped from a camp that was guarded by the kurds. Aleem maqbool reports from inside northern syria. The anguish that only comes from loss. This brother and sister mourn theirfather, who was killed in the shelling by turkey of their residential neighbourhood. The kurds here have already suffered so much, and every day of turkeys offensive brings new chaos. These are thought to be just a handful of the hundreds of women and children who, as turkeys attacks got closer, escaped a kurdish camp that held them. Most were relatives of Islamic State group fighters. It is not the first massive Security Breach brought on by the turkish aggression. Five captured is fighters escaped from a prison here, too, after it was shelled. We found it abandoned, the remaining prisoners moved into other already overwhelmed facilities. The authorities here say they are already struggling with the resources to hold many thousands of what are among the most dangerous prisoners in the world, from the so called Islamic State group. What they warn is that with any further destabilisation caused by this assault from turkey, many more could escape and potentially regroup, undoing the massive effort it took to capture them and take their territory back. Already, is says it was behind this car bomb that killed three people. The fear is that far worse is to come. All the while, turkeys offensive goes on. This evening, a convoy travelling close to the border was attacked with more kurdish casualties, and with us troops having now been ordered to leave this part of the country, and syria saying it is sending troops into kurdish areas, more turmoil is on the horizon. The parents of 19 year old harry dunn who was killed in a Road Accident involving an American Woman with diplomatic immunity have arrived in the United States where they hope to raise awareness about the case. The driver Anne Sacoolas left the uk shortly after the crash in northamptonshire in august. 0ur correspondent Duncan Kennedy was on board the plane with harrys parents and sent this report. Harrys parents left heathrow in what has now become a transatlantic search for justice. Harry died last august after his motorbike collided with a car. The car was driven by Anne Sacoolas, who left britain for the United States shortly after the accident. She has now issued a statement through her lawyer, which says but speaking to me on board their flight to new york, charlotte and tim said while they want to meet mrs sacoolas too, its the British Police she should be talking to. We felt like weve really got a breakthrough, we finally had confirmed that the immunity that we didnt think she had has been confirmed, that she doesnt have it. Certainly since she absconded back to the usa. The statement from her lawyer is promising, that we perhaps can hopefully get a meeting put together. I am unsure, if i am honest. Im more shocked. But hopeful that something can come of this. At the place where harry died in northamptonshire, new signs have been put up to warn motorists to drive on the left. Its alleged that mrs sacoolas, the wife of an american diplomat at a nearby base, was driving on the right at the time of the accident. Finding out what happened on that road in northamptonshire is why harrys parents have come to new york. Yes, they want to meet Anne Sacoolas to hear her explanation face to face, but most of all, they want her to return to britain. Charlotte and tim didnt want to come here. But they say they have to do something for harry and will go any distance to honour him. Duncan kennedy, bbc news, new york. Borisjohnson has told his cabinet theres significant work ahead if a Brexit Agreement is to be reached. His comments were echoed by the eus chief negotiator, following a second day of intenstive talks. Tomorrow sees mps return to parliament for the queens speech and on thursday the eu summit begins in brussels the last such gathering before the brexit deadline. 0ur political correspondent, nick eardley says it looks like a decisive week ahead for brexit. The next few days could well be bumpy. Those talks tomorrow will resume with a loud clock ticking because there are just three days for the uk because there are just three days forthe uk and because there are just three days for the uk and the eu to come to a compromise to put to european leaders at that summit next week. Borisjohnson leaders at that summit next week. Boris johnson updated leaders at that summit next week. Borisjohnson updated his cabinet earlier and made clear there is still a significant way to go. Thats a view echoed in brussels tonight. Mrjohnson does still think that there is a pathway to a deal. Im told on that call he did seem genuinely confident they could be a breakthrough in the next few days and yet there are many here at westminster prepared to pour cold water on that idea. They think the distance between the uk and the eu is too great and that there just isnt enough time to get this done by the end of the month. We set a number of times recently that its a good week in westminster but come this time next week, we should know the answer for this time next week, we should know the answerfor some this time next week, we should know the answer for some big this time next week, we should know the answerfor some big questions. Can Boris Johnson get the answerfor some big questions. Can borisjohnson get that new brexit deal. If so, can he persuade mps to back it and if not, can they force him to do something he said he would and extend the Brexit Process . The truth is, tonight, nobody, not here or brussels, can definitively know the answers. Scotlands first minister, nicola sturgeon, has said shell ask the uk government by the end of the year for a second independence referendum. And at the start of a crucial week for the Brexit Process the snps leader at westminster said he plans to move ahead with a parliamentary vote of no confidence in Boris Johnson. 0ur scotland editor sarah smith reports. The snp have arrived in aberdeen ready for battle. They want to fight a general election as soon as possible, and are preparing to try and make that happen, daring labour and the lib dems to join them in a vote of no confidence against the government. Jeremy, jo, the clock is ticking. The snp is ready to act. Are you . The snp leadership hope an election will leave them holding the balance of power. If so, they wont consider keeping the tories in office, and will only support a Labour Government if it allows another referendum on scottish independence. I say this tojeremy corbyn or any westminster leader who is looking to the snp for support. If you dont accept scotlands right to choose our own future at a time of our own choosing, dont even bother picking up the phone to me. The snp are hugely buoyed by a new opinion poll that suggests 50 of scots now support scottish independence. But that brings a couple of problems with it. It makes it less likely a westminster government would ever allow another independence referendum, and it increases the impatience of activists who dont want to wait for that vote. So there are demands here for whats being called plan b. Either holding an unofficial referendum, or declaring that if the snp again wins over half the parliamentary seats in scotland, they should start independence negotiations. Its simply unacceptable for us to just sit back and accept that this unelected tory government is dragging scotland out of the eu against our will, and its imposing policies on scotland, but when we have a democratic mandate for a referendum, he can simply tell us, no, youre not having one. We need to be in a position that we can make sure scotlands voice is heard, and thats exactly what plan b will do. It would be easy for me, and it would make my life easier in the short term just to tell my supporters what they want to hear, but ive watched brexiteer leaders doing that over the past three years and it doesnt end well. I have to deal in reality. Im determined to lead my country to independence, and that means doing it properly. An attempt to force a conference debate on plan b was defeated in the hall. The additional business falls overwhelmingly. For now it seems the party are prepared to bide their time, believing independence is in sight. But they wont wait forever. Sarah smith, bbc news, aberdeen. A demonstration has been held at stormont to mark one thousand days since the collapse of the Northern Ireland assembly. The event took place as it was revealed that Assembly Members claimed more that two hundred and eighty thousand pounds in travel expenses between april 2018 and march this year. Jayne mccormack has more. Singing. Stop their wages. It is an unwanted milestone, 1,000 days without any form of government in Northern Ireland. Mlas have not been able to pass laws or hold debates since stormont collapsed but they are still entitled to their salaries and travel expenses. No action, no work but theyre getting paid and i am fed up. Whats your message to the politicians . Get up off your backside and go back to work, stop sweating the small stuff and get on with the things that are important. New figures show that from april 2018 until march this year, mlas claimed £283,161; for travelling to stormont and their constituencies. The further their constituency from parliament buildings, the more they can claim. The parties still use stormont for meetings, talks to restore power sharing and constituency business. But a former member of the body which set rules back in 2016 regarding mlas expenses is sceptical. I think this is now a disgrace, 1000 days and they are still claiming it. I have no doubt the members get a lot of facilities at stormont, they have offices there. And many of them are going to stormont every day to use those facilities and use those offices but the public is paying for all of that. And is the public really getting the service they deserve . Right now the rules on travel expenses are being overseen by the Northern Ireland office. They require mlas to attend stormont for a minimum of 100 days and keep a record of their travel in order to qualify for the full allowance. The government says it will continue to keep mla pay and expenses under review. Jayne mccormack, bbc news, belfast.

Iam i am feeling good, and i was happy. Because i was not expecting to run like this. But today i run my best time, which i could not ever run, and then i was happy again. The mens marathon was won by kenyas Lawrence Cherono but it was a disappointing day for mo farah as he failed to defend his title.

Wales will play france in the quarterfinals of the Rugby World Cup but scotland are coming home. They lost an enthralling final pool game 28 21 to japan in yokohama. Japan will play south africa next while scotland will look back on where it all went wrong. We knew it was always going to be a challenge, given the way that japan were playing, given our turnaround, but we had the team and we had the ability and the start of that game to go on and win it by the necessary amount of points. That we didnt, its hugely disappointing and we will have to learn from that and. You dont get another shot at the world cup for four years, but weve got to improve as we hit the next tournament, which is going to be six nations. Dan evans is set to replace kyle edmund as britains number one male tennis player when the rankings are released in the morning.

He will play Bernard Tomic in the first round of the stockholm 0pen tomorrow night. Thats all the sport for now. Have a good night. The word brexit sparks very different reactions. The political row over whether we should leave the eu or not has broken friendships, divided families and the nation. If youre fed up hearing about it, youre not alone. New research by yougov suggests that almost half the country thinks its been bad for their Mental Health too. Marc ashdown has been looking at its impact. It has been loud, it has been divisive, and it seems brexit has also been bad for our health. Even politicians have reached new levels of exasperation. Pure selfishness and political cowardice. This prime minister, to talk about morals, and morality, is a disgrace 0n the streets, on social media, the debate has at times got out of hand. Now the first case has been confirmed of a man suffering a psychotic episode triggered by brexit. 0ne psychotherapist has seen a rise in patients. People get physical symptoms of nausea, headaches, people who had previous illnesses get flareups of those illnesses. We have seen quite a few people who have suicidal ideas. New polling suggests 40 of britons have had their Mental Health affected by brexit, and 45 of londoners. Had their Mental Health affected by brexit, and 4596 of londoners. Im really quite concerned. It wasnt something i had voted for or hoped for. Not good, sorry. I dont Pay Attention to that. Just too much effort. Just sort of looking forward to it being over, however that happens. Good luck with that. Deal 01 no happens. Good luck with that. Deal or no deal in the coming weeks, the uks future relationship with the eu will take years to sort out. This isnt going to disappear. This is pa rt isnt going to disappear. This is part of our daily lives. If you hear people say, oh, brexit will be gone if we leave 31, or even if we have another referendum and it is remain we can get rid of issue, thats nonsense. The man who got seriously ill did make nonsense. The man who got seriously illdid makea nonsense. The man who got seriously ill did make a full recovery. He said he was in an area dominated by an opinion different to his own, something people on both sides of theissuer something people on both sides of the issuer having to come to terms with. Lets get morre on this with professor emmy van deurzen, professor of psychology and psychotherapy at middlesex university, who has been researching the impact brexit has had on peoples Mental Health. Professor, thank you forjoining us at this late hour. Tell us, how have you gone about this research . What sort of questions have you asked people . Well, the main way in which i have researched it, despite having runa i have researched it, despite having run a clinic for the last two and a half years for you 27 citizens who have had panic disorders, who have felt suicidal, who have felt desperate, who have felt unable to sleep, unable to eat. For eu 27 citizens. Basically, who had lost all their sense of security, because they have been at the sharp end of this terrible situation. When you hear about the impact of something political on people, it is easy to sort of laugh and think that it is a joke, but the impact is pretty severe for some, isnt it . Absolutely. And this is not unknown, of course. We know that people who go through wars suffered terribly. Refugees suffered terribly. And what is so incredible is that we have now created a situation in this nation in the 21st century were 5 Million People were not given a vote, lost their democratic sense of being able to change their own future, and then found themselves without a voice and without the possibility of planning for our future. Without the possibility of planning for ourfuture. Without the possibility of planning for our future. Their future. Without the possibility of planning for ourfuture. Theirfuture. So they are simply not knowing what is going to happen to them. And i think that what we see in the 5 million is what is going to be happening too many other british people if we go through with this mad plan. Well, you say it is mad. A lot of people, of course, wanted it. Majority of people did say we wanted to leave. And they would probably take exception with the idea of comparing it with refugees under wartime situation. What about those believers, then, who were on the sides that run the referendum . Leavers. Are they better off mentally . It is just leavers. Are they better off mentally . It isjust as bad for them. I think we need to beware, this is a bad situation for all of us now. This is a bad situation for all of us now. This has gone on for way too long. Everybodys patients has been tested to the health. We are all facing a future that is worse than what we have known for many decades, and it is quite an irresponsible thing to do. Many leavers are changing their minds and rue the day they voted for leave, and they did this quite often, because they believed it would make the future better, because they were misinformed. We are well aware of this now. I practised in yorkshire for 22 years, and so i was well familiar with the way in which, for instance, in the north of england, people lost the steel industry, they lost their minds, mines, they lived in terrible conditions, and when the referendum came around, they really thought they could note their vote of protest, and so they did. And so my heart goes out to them every bit of every bit as much as to the 5 Million People who we re much as to the 5 Million People who were excluded from democracy and whose lives have been missed with so terribly but they are feeling desperate. They must be another side to this, because we also hear a lot of voices of people who say it is going to be fine, britain will cope, we will strike trade deals, we will have a Better Future if we are not shackled to the eu, which many people find to be bureaucratic. There has to be another side to this. Yes, but that is based really on fear mongering about the European Union and in not knowing the effects of how essential all these links with these other countries are for us. With these other countries are for us. Most of our. But we will still have a lot of those links, if we get a deal and we leave and have an ideal situation, which some people do say would be difficult economically, is avoided . A no deal situation. Unfortunately, we have to realise that the reality of all that is nothing like what was promised, and this is why so many leavers are now in pain as well and are very worried about what they are bringing upon themselves, because this will not be good for anybody. It will only be good for a very small percentage of people. So the large majority of people who live in this country are going to find themselves deprived of their rights, by going to not be able to have Free Movement and go wherever they want in europe, and not be able to be trade. They are losing this capacity of sorting out conflicts with the other countries in europe. As a person who was born in a european country and whose parents were devastated by the second world war, i. 0f devastated by the second world war, i. Of course, many people will say that we strike a deal, we will have resolved a lot of the issues that you are talking about. Just briefly, an answer to that . It is simply not true. The deal that we are about to strike this far, far worse than the deal weve got now, and it wont involve peacekeeping, it wont involve peacekeeping, it wont involve research, it wont involve security, it wont involve the same level of safety for all of us. Professor, there is certainly a lot to unpick. Thank you very much for joining us. Now its time for a look at the weather with phil avery. Weve got clear skies out there across many parts of the country. Fantastic conditions for viewing the hunters moon. That is the first full moon that occurs after the autumn equinox. This picture comes from one of our weather watches and other also got pictures from up and down the country. Good visibility, great conditions for that lunar view, if you can look outside. Weve got low pressure approaching from the west. Weve also got a waiting when front sitting close to the south east. A couple of areas of rain arriving later tonight. The first one clearing away from the north east of scotland. A few showers just pushing into the likes of essex and kent, first thing. Could be a bit of mist and fog with those temperatures falling to between about 5 10 degrees. Monday morning starts with some showers in the south east. This front will push slowly north through the day. Could bea slowly north through the day. Could be a bit ofa slowly north through the day. Could be a bit of a troublemaker. This fairly slow moving area of low pressure will bring some quite persistent rain across Northern Ireland. We could have some lying surface water with those heavy downpours across central and eastern parts of england in particular, later in the day. Thunderstorms likely with this batch of showers. The rain across Northern Ireland will continue into the afternoon. Slowly pushing northwards into south western scotland. I think eastern scotland and much of Northern England should stay largely dry with some sunshine. Generally light winds in the north but we could see some blustery conditions in association with some of those heavy showers. Temperature wise, pies between 12 and 17 degrees, so fairly typical of the time of year. Highs between. Central england could see lying surface water on the roads as we head into monday evening. 0vernight and into tuesday, the first batch of rain most of the north east, perhapsjust lingering into Tuesday Morning in the far north east of england and forest in scotland. Tuesday brings us a window of drier, brighter weather. Scotland. Tuesday brings us a window of drier, brighterweather. Enjoy scotland. Tuesday brings us a window of drier, brighter weather. Enjoy it while it lasts on tuesday. A fairly short window of dry weather. About 1215 with short window of dry weather. About 12 15 with those sunny spells, more rain working its way into the west later on. So through tuesday night and overnight into wednesday, some wet and windy weather working from west to east as this waterfront pushes its way across the uk. That is going to bring us a soggy start to wednesday. Most of the rain should clear away. As you can see from the outlook, 20 more in the forecast, with the low pressure in charge. Plenty more. Temperatures generally in the mid teens for much of the week ahead is low pressure brings lots of showers, and it looks like things
