We are in the wrong bodies myjoints feel like butter. I feel loose myself. Dwayne johnson and jack black are back in body swap sequel jumanji the next level. See what mark kermode thinks of that in the film review. After weeks of campaigning, voting is under way in the general election. This morning, the Party Leaders were out casting their ballots. Its the third election in less than five years, and the first to be held in december for nearly a century. The first results are expected before midnight. Heres our Political Correspondent ben wright and a warning his report includes some flashing images. Voting began at seven oclock this morning. The prime minister, borisjohnson, had some canine company as he cast his ballot at this polling station in westminster. Have you all got your pictures, are you all right . Thank you. The labour leader, jeremy corbyn, posed for the cameras too after voting in his north london constituency. It was dawn in scotland when the liberal democrat leader, jo swinson, arrived at the polling station in her constituency. While in glasgow, the snp leader Nicola Sturgeon cast her ballot at a community hall, one of tens of thousands of polling stations across the uk. Many people have already voted by post, including the brexit party leader, nigel farage. In wales, plaid cymru leader, adam price, had a soggy walk to the polling station in carmarthenshire. Morning. As did the Green Party Co leader Jonathan Bartley in london. We are not used to wrapping up for polling day, and in the highlands voters have faced snow on their way to cast their ballot. The last december election was almost a century ago, in 1923, and the most recent winter election was in 197a. The way we have voted hasnt changed much since putting a cross on a ballot paper, but taking snaps of dogs at polling stations is a much newer election day tradition. This is the third general election in less than five years. There are 650 constituencies in total and the candidate who secures the most votes in each seat is elected to the house of commons. Polling stations are open until ten oclock this evening and we will start to see results soon after that. Ben wright, bbc news, westminster. Tens of thousands of polling stations are open across england, wales, scotland and northern ireland. Christian fraser has this simple guide with the dos and dont of voting. It is decision day, time to cast a vote. This is what i hope will be a short but helpful guide on how to vote if youve not done it before, and what you can and cannot do once you are inside the polling station. So, they are all open and they close this evening at 10pm. Remember, if you are in the queue at the polling station but not inside the booth by the deadline, you will still be allowed to vote. Hopefully, you will have had a polling card sent to you if you are on the electoral register. If you have lost it or it didnt arrive, you can go to the Electoral Commission, put in your postcode, and they will tell you where to go to vote. And it will be a public building like a school or library. You must go to the polling station assigned to you. You do not need to take your polling card with you. When you get there, you will be checked off a list and issued with a voting paper that looks like this. Take it into the voting booth, there will be a pen or pencil in there, and put a mark next to the candidate you are selecting, preferably a cross, just one. If you spoil your ballot paper by accident, and you need to get another one, they can issue that so long as you havent put it in the box already. And if it is your wish, you can spoil their ballot paper as well, some do if they dont like any of the candidates provided. We are also asked sometimes whether you can take a selfie inside the voting booth. We do live in this age. The Electoral Commission urge you not to do that. They would prefer you to take a picture outside the polling station to encourage people to go and vote. The reason they say that is because there is a risk that you might reveal how other people have voted and that is punishable by a £5,000 fine or six months in prison, so, you dont want to do that. You are also not allowed to take a photo of your ballot paper. But once you have done it and it is in the box, you can tell people, family, even tweet it, how you have voted. There you go, a very simple process, i hope that helps a little bit. One word of advice. Take a brolly with you, its going to be very wet in some parts of the country. Our results coverage starts just before polls close tonight. On tv, huw edwards and the team will be on bbc one and the bbc news channel from 9. 55pm; theres full coverage online at bbc. Co. Uk news and on the bbc news app; and special programmes on bbc radio 4 and radio 5 live. There are also results programmes for listeners and viewers in scotland, wales and northern ireland. A former prisoner who fought off the London Bridge attacker has told bbc news he was prepared to die to protect others. John crilly used a fire extinguisher to tackle usman khan, even though he thought he was wearing a suicide vest. Mr crilly has been speaking to our legal correspondent, clive coleman. Nearly two weeks ago, ex offenderjohn crilly found himself at the centre of mayhem and butchery at a Prison Education event at fishmongers hall, where his good friend jack merritt was murdered. Yeah, just a very high pitched wail like, a scream. John saw a woman sprawled on the stairs, bleeding, then usman khan, two knives out, wearing what looked like a suicide belt. John attacked him first with a wooden lectern, then a fire extinguisher, shouting at khan to blow his belt. He said he was waiting for the police. He said he was waiting for the police . Before he blew it, yeah. I was prepared to lose my life, yeah, iwas. Did it seem like he was targetting anyone in particular or any group . No, itjust seemed like anyone there was fair game. Ijust assume now, hed just seen a big target a room full of. Probably in his mind, and to a certain degree its true, a room full of establishment people. Judges, police, security they was all in that room. With others using makeshift weapons, john pursued kahn onto the street, spraying him with the extinguisher. Within minutes, police arrived, john shouting at them to shoot khan because of the belt. They did. Johns thoughts then turned to his friend jack merritt, the cambridge graduate who changed johns life, and who, along with saskia jones, had been murdered by khan. Can you tell me what he meant to you . Jackjust basically meant hope. People think of you as a hero. Do you think of yourself as a hero . A hero . No. Jack gave up his life. Hes. He would be my hero. Police in new zealand are launching an operation to return to white island in a few hours time to retrieve the bodies of those killed in mondays volcanic eruption. Two people who were being treated for their injuries in hospital have now died, taking the confirmed death toll to eight. Until now, rescue teams have stayed away from the island because of the danger of further eruptions. Shaima khalil has sent this report eight bodies have been stuck on this island since mondays eruption. And now there is a chance that finally they could be recovered. Members of new zealands Defence Force will attempt to reach the volcano to get the job done. They will go on to the island, and they will make every effort to recover all of the bodies from the island. A lot has to go right for this to work. Let there be no mistake, there is not a zero risk with regard to this plan. We flew close to the island to get a sense of what its like. The heavy plumes of smoke still billowing. A sign of how precarious the situation is. We are five nautical miles away from whakaari, or white island. Theres a restriction zone around it, so this is as close as we can get. Theres been quite a bit of volcanic activity in the area toxic gases, ash, tremors and of course the risk of another eruption. Police have said theyre quite confident they know where the bodies are. They say they are within a 200 square metre area. The Deputy Police commissioner said that, technically, they can go in, get the bodies and get out quickly, but its a trade off. The compromise here is that this could mean that they lose evidence that would help them to identify those bodies. But he said it was a trade off that he, the police and the families would consider if it meant recovering the bodies. Tour guide hayden inman is among those missing on the island. His brother says hes frustrated that its taking so long to recover his body. Red tape, bureaucracy, leadership has failed. Were trusting experts that sit behind a desk making calls based on statistics. Jason hill is one of the pilots who went in and helped rescued people after the eruption. He says the bodies should have been recovered more quickly. Its been a little bit frustrating but hopefully we might get something happening soon to get those loved ones back. Would you go on the island and get the bodies . Definitely, 100 , yeah, without a doubt. Theres been growing desperation among families who just want their loved ones home. Now, for the first time, there is hope this may happen. Shaimaa khalil, bbc news, whakatane. In swansea, seven people have been hurt after a double decker bus crashed into a railway bridge. One person was taken to hospital by helicopter with life threatening injuries. David grundy from bbc wales is at the scene for us and sent us this update. Now, this bus service was taking students from one end of swansea to the other, part of the University Campus bus service and the park and ride route is just around the corner. It struck the rail bridge around 940 this morning, eight people were injured. Two were taken to the Minor Injuries Unit but one that had what has been described as life threatening injuries has been airlifted to the University Hospital of wales for treatment. Eyewitnesses described seeing the rich come to the top deck of the bus before loud crunching noises were heard. Half the roof was torn off. A number of people have been taking to a nearby social club to be treated for shock. It took several hours to get eve ryo ne it took several hours to get everyone off the bus and the bus was only moved from here at around for a pm. The bus company says it is shocked and its sympathies and thoughts are with those affected but it is not just thoughts are with those affected but it is notjust the bus route that has been affected. This railway bridge, lines in and out of swansea have been severely impacted. The bus was not on its normal route, there was not on its normal route, there was speculation it was diverted because of a voluntary. The Railway Lines are still affected and there are delays. A number of roads around here remain closed and police are asking people to find other routes. The main accident and Emergency Department in swansea is already under pressure and very busy, it is asking people to stay away and go elsewhere while they deal with this incident. The investigation and work to make this continues tonight. To make this continues tonight. To make this bridge safe. Harvey weinstein has reached a tentative 25 Million Dollar settlement with dozens of his alleged victims. His lawyers have not commented and some say the deal will punish those holding out. Mr weinstein faces a separate criminal trial next month on rape and Sexual Assault allegations from two women, which he denies. However, this deal in the civil case still needs signing off by all parties. It would not require the movie mogul to admit wrongdoing. He wouldnt be paying money out of his own pocket, thats for the Insurance Companies to do. And dozens of plaintiffs as well as any others who choose to join the suit would share the settlement. Jonathan handel is an entertainment attorney and contributing editor for the hollywood reporter. Hejoins us now from la. Thank you for being with us. What do you make of this tentative settlement . Well, it is one of those situations where it is very difficult and perhaps for people looking at it, it can be off putting. The Harvey Weinstein matter two years ago was reported in the New York Times and new yorker magazine and it got the industrys attention and nations attention to as the abuses of woman that can go on. To see this ending any situation civilly where weinstein is not paying anything out of his own pocket, i think has some people concerned and unhappy. This doesnt affect the criminal trial. There is affect the criminal trial. There is a separate criminal trial to determine guilt and if found guilty, he is presumed innocent untilfound other ways, but if found guilty he could go to prison. There is no admission of guilt or culpability as pa rt admission of guilt or culpability as part of this settlement. With the alleged victim who are part of the settlement, would they be giving evidence in the criminal proceedings . Well, some of them might or might not, that depends on who gets called by the prosecutor as witnesses and two is permitted to appear by the judge. The testimony is not considered direct testimony except when you are talking about the actual woman and the contact being charged in the criminal case the conduct being charged. Evidence of past behaviour are sometimes omitted and sometimes excluded. Whether or not these women will be asked or permitted to testify is a completely independent matter. Is the reason why some of them have settled is because they felt that perhaps this was the only way they were going to get any kind of compensation, even if it is through the Insurance Companies rather than three weinsteins own pocket . That is exactly right. The Weinstein Company which is also a defendant here declared bankruptcy. That throws everything into a whirl where people become Unsecured Creditors competing with business creditors. Even though the settle m e nt creditors. Even though the settlement would bring an estimated about money for a person once you cou nty lawyers about money for a person once you county lawyers fees, that may be the difficult truth. That might be the difficult truth. That might be the most they will see. In terms of the most they will see. In terms of the criminal proceedings, when you think they will happen. When will we get a final verdict on Harvey Weinstein . I dont have the date firmly in mind although i believe it is soon. Probably i believe in january but you cant tell me to that. After which there could be appeals and so forth depending on the results of the case. So, it may oi the results of the case. So, it may or may not be a fast process and it has been two years already. Indeed, thank you very much indeed. The headlines on bbc news. Voting is under way across the country in the general election its the first to be held in december, in nearly a century. The man who fought off the London Bridge attacker with a fire extinguisher says he was prepared to die. Police in new zealand prepare to retrieve the bodies of those killed by the white island volcano. And in sport, it is the managers first european match in charge of arsenal. The championship is a bubble waiting to burst, according to the former wigan chairman is more than half of the leaks clubs are spending more on wages than they bring in. And ferrari say they have spoken to the six time formula i champion Lewis Hamilton about driving for them in the future. I will be back after half past. In india, thereve been violent protests against a new bill which would fast track citizenship for immigrants from neighbouring countries, unless they are muslim. 0pposition parties say the bill is another move by the hindu nationalist bjp party to marginalise the countrys 200 million muslims. This report is from prateeksha ghildial, in delhi. Anger on the streets of north east india. The people here do not want immigrants from neighbouring countries to settle here. Locals feel that their ethnic identity is under threat, and that the implementation of the new law will lead to demographic changes. But thats not the only reason this new law has divided india. Rights groups are furious because the new law will not allow muslim migrants to become citizens. The government says it is not discriminatory, but aims to help minorities fleeing persecution in pakistan, afghanistan and bangladesh. All islamic countries. Campaigners like these say that by excluding muslims, the government is undermining the values on which india was founded. Secularism, and religious tolerance. And that faith should not be a consideration for citizenship. Many are suspicious, and see it as a tool to marginalise the muslim community. This just seems to be the framework for a hindu nation. And in general, if youve seen the last five years, the anti muslim rhetoric has been huge. There is a large number of Violent Attacks going on against the community all over the world. This will put them in a further vulnerable spot. There have been heated scenes in the parliament as the government tried to defend the move. Translation this is not meant for taking away anyones rights. It is to give people rights. Thats the difference between a refugee and an infiltrator. But critics say this sends out a negative signal to the countrys 200 million strong muslims. Clearly, you are catering to your hindu base, by telling them that this country is only for hindus. The Worlds Largest democracy had a big heart, that it could accommodate people. Right now we are coming across to the world as petty, vindictive civilisation. Thats not what india stood for. There are concerns about what this means for indias secular democracy as it grapples with this complex issue of religion, citizenship and identity. Pratiksha ghildial, bbc news, dehli.

When sticking up elsewhere, gale is likely in the far south west as the night goes on. The elite miles, a bit chilly for western scotland as the sky is clear and winds are lighter, nearly one or two icy patches. For eastern and North Eastern scotland it will be a wet day on friday. Sunshine elsewhere, showers packing into wales, increasingly for north england and northern ireland. Some sunshine further east across england where it should be largely dry but not especially warm, winds easing down. As we head into the weekend, we have got some blustery winds around which means sunshine and some showers. It is going to be caught enough for a bit of snow over the house. This is bbc news. The headlines. Voting is under way across the country in the general election its the first to be held in december, in nearly a century. The man who fought off the London Bridge attacker with a fire extinguisher says he was prepared to die. Police in new zealand prepare to retrieve the bodies of those killed by the white island volcano. Theres been quite a bit of volcanic activity in the area toxic gases, ash, tremors and of course the risk of another eruption. Dwayne johnson and jack black are back in body swap sequel jumanji the next level. See what mark kermode thinks of that in the film review. Before all that we have the latest board. A busy night in the europa league. The first european match for arsenal, with the club albert through to the knockout stages. They would have to lose five nil to their opponents. They go into the game on the back of an important win on monday. Their first victory in ten matches. And the first for the interim boss. He to hold talks with the club about taking a job full time. The club about taking a job fulltime. That is not a conversation i have had. Myjob is to go from day to day, game to game. Try to help this fantastic club and thatis try to help this fantastic club and that is what i try to do. Then, others decisions are up to the top dogs. Meanwhile, celtic, rangers, wilts and Manchester United are all in action, too. United have already qualified for knockout stages, but need to draw against the dutch side tonight. To guarantee top spot in the grip. After it has started the season, they had a turnaround in form of late. Back to back wins over tottenham and manchester city. The results, that is the proof in the end. Inside we have always believed what we are doing. Yes, it is going to be ups and downs, we have said that, as well. We are on the right track. We see, i see these boys everything a day in training. The attitude, the skills and the quality they have got. So, i have not been that worried. The championship is a bubble waiting to burst, thats according to former wigan chairman david sharpe. New figures have shown that clubs in the league are posting record losses in a gamble to reach the premier league. Analysis from bbc radio 5 live; the accountants deloitte; and football finance experts, visible, found that the sides recorded pre tax losses of 307 Million Pounds in the 2017 18 season. The Research Also found that more than half of clubs are spending more on wages than they make in income. The Football League says its set up a working group to look at possible changes that could help the sustainability of clubs in the long term. Former chairman of wigan david sharpe says its not sustainable. Nobody is thinking about the worst case scenario, what we do not get there. The out break if you do get there. The out break if you do get there, their play. Plenty of other teams that will not get there. It is worrying. It is a bubble, it will burst. Waiting to burst, but it will burst. Waiting to burst, but it will burst. Waiting to burst, but it will burst. Unless something dramatic changes. Richard masters has been named as the premier leagues new chief executive. It comes just two weeks after david pemsel resigned before hed even started the role, following newspaper allegations about his private life. Masters was the fourth person to be offered thejob.

Hamilton will be in the seat for mercedes next year, but hes out of contract at the end of 2020. Ferrari have admitted that their chairman met hamilton at a social event, which they say was totally blown out of proportion. But they did also admit they were flattered that a driver like hamilton would consider racing for them. And well leave you with this, as organisers of the paris 2024 0lympics have announced that the surfing events will take place almost 10 thousand miles away in tahiti. The small island in the middle of the pacific boasts some of the biggest waves on the mens circuit. Now, its not the first time weve seen such a big distance. The Equestrian Events at the 1956 melbourne 0lympics were held in stockholm. Well have more for you in sportsday at half past six. Thank you, jane. A three year salvage operation to save one of the most important naval vessels of the 18th century has come to an end. Hms invincible sank in the solent in 1758. Items recovered range from a 6 tonne bow section, to small ceramic hair curlers used by the ships officers to style their wigs. Duncan kennedy has more. Lets talk to the maritime archaeologist, tom cousins. He was a senior diver on the expedition and now looks after the finds. Thanks to much of a witness. Tennessee event about invincible and why she is such a special ship. She is the only really mid 18th century ship that survived and she also set the design for most of the british and the rest of yours warships ventilator 18 into the 19th century. Defence came up with the design, we stole it and we copied the pattern, two thirds of the ships and all sides of trafalgar from this pattern. How did she sing . In wasnt it . She was on her way to canada to fight the french, as we did back then. And a series of events went wrong, her anger got stuck in the amount, by the time they freed it a got stuck under the water. They went was going wrong way, all these things happen. It was nobodys fault, lots of Little Things added up fault, lots of Little Things added up and she ran aground on the sandbag just outside portsmouth. Tells about the dive to sell the show. What was it like the first time is it eisenhower . They person we set eyes on her, there is only, like, the gun deck sticking out at was completely eroded away. As we dug down we started to see more pristine timber that had never been exposed. Looking down the decks of ships and all sorts. Being on an 18th century worship, looking down the deck is quite significant, even if have to disappeared. You found some extraordinary things on there. I mentioned colours and so on, hair colours used by the ship of to style their wigs and shoes, i have seen shoes with buckles and so on. Yes, we have got everything from what the officers retire. Lots of buttons of uniforms, bits of clothing that you not tend to survive well. More personal things, tables and spins, monogrammed bowls. Ammunition boxes with which is marxist on them, a bit assisted dishing. We also ammunition boxes with the marks of a witch on them. All the rigging is marked, all a nice standardised rate. 0ne marked, all a nice standardised rate. One of the things that made the royal navy the efficient fighting machine it was in the 19th century to such battles like trafalgar and all these things that lead us to dominate the ocean at the time. So, how much is been salvaged 110w time. So, how much is been salvaged now into much remains to be selfish . Remains to be salvaged, there is lots and lots down there. Our project has come to an end. We have salvage, i say salvage, we have excavated the first six metres of the bow and the last section in the stern. As well as some other big bets around it, like midship and only area of rigging. We rebury it, cover it in sandbanks, so can still stay safe. In the future people can good back and do my work, it is unlimited the amount of work on the sea bed. But it cost a lot of money. So, at the moment we were just keep working away with the pines, having them concerned and having any exhibit going up in the museum which will travel in the new year. And you described in detail what it was like on the ship, so well organised, or the personal possessions of the sailors. When you see all that, is it slightly hunting in some ways . Invented is a bit different, because she ran aground just outside of portsmouth. It was not a dramatic racking. There were no deaths abroad. It was just that people had to abandon their things below decks. Too dangerous to recover them. So, there is not related aspect that you get on some of other wrecks. But still, an extraordinary work to be down there and looking at that very important vessel. Yeah, a really great site to work on. Everything there. One of the best sites we have worked on in the last ten years. Good to talk to you, thank you so much. Christmas can be a lonely time for many people and the bbc has been talking to one man terrence who has spent every Christmas Day alone for twenty years. This year, as a volunteer with age uk, he will be other people. But when it emerged that terrence didnt have a Christmas Tree, bbc breakfast launched an appeal to get him one. Dan walker has been to see him. I think the thing that really struck home is when you were mentioning how many times she had been on your own on Christmas Day. Yes, a lad said, what used to happen, i used to around to my mothers on Christmas Day because i always cooked a mealfor her here and i always took the things round to her, and one day i neverforget her saying to me she said, do you know, she said, without you, she said, bringing me my presents at christmas, i wouldnt have any presents, would i .

So who are you going to go for christmas dinner with this year . Im going to go with our nancy. Shes your good friend youve been talking to through age uk. She is, yes.
