Of a meeting with the woman involved in the crash. Ann sacoolas the wife of aan Intelligence Officer left for the us after the accident in northamptonshire. Heres andy moore with the latest. On her way to the states, harry dunns mother. She now has an apology from the woman who killed her son. But she said sorry just wasnt enough. Harrys father is on the same flight. The parents want to lobby politicians and raise the profile of their case in america. They also hope to meet Anne Sacoolas, who now has agreed to a meeting. In a statement, through her lawyers, she said. No loss compares to the death of a child. She would like to meet with mr dunnes parent so that she can express our deepest sympathies and apologies for this tragic accident. Harry dunn was riding his motorbike when he was hit by mrs sacoolas, reportedly driving out of an american base on the wrong side of the road. She initially cooperated with the police investigation, before getting a flight to the us the next day under the protection of diplomatic immunity. This is an incredibly tragic case, and the foreign secretary has been working with his american counterparts and been in touch with the Us Administration on this. The fact of the matter is right now, it very much seems that the lady in question wants to start cooperating with the discussions and obviously the investigations. And i think we should support that. Now that mrs sacoolas is back in the us, the government here has confirmed that diplomatic immunity no longer applies. Well, everybody knew that all along. Diplomatic immunity only applies when you are in the host country, in this case the uk. It never applies once you go back to your own country. And i think it was the threat of the dunns hauling her into court in america that has actually brought forth this suggested meeting. The family of harry dunn are hoping mrs sacoolas will return voluntarily to the uk to face justice. If not, she could face extradition. Andy moore, bbc news. Hundreds of family members of Islamic State fighters are reported to have escaped a camp in Northern Syria after turkish air strikes nearby. Kurdish forces guarding the camp, which contains thousands of people displaced by fighting across syria, say that more than 700 people, mostly women and children, have fled the camp. Our correspondent martin patience is on the turkish side of the border. Martin, the kurds had been warning that they wouldnt be able to guard all of the Islamic State prison in syria. Thats absolutely right. There had been warnings, so in many ways, this shouldnt come as a surprise. What we have seen this morning happened ina camp we have seen this morning happened in a camp in North Eastern syria. It was home to more than 10,000 people. Some of them had links to Islamic State, but many didnt. According to kurdish officials, they are saying the camp was attacked by turkish warplanes, and that perhaps Islamic State fighters were also involved. Again, we simply cant confirm the details yet, although it appears that some kind of break did take place. Martin, thank you very much. Boris johnson is briefing the cabinet this afternoon about the intensive brexit negotiations that have resumed in brussels between british and European Union officials. Ambassadors from the 27 other eu countries will be given details by the chief brexit negotiator, michel barnier, this evening. 0ur Political Correspondent peter saull reports. Its been a while since we last saw this in westminster the pomp and ceremony of the queens speech. It will be showtime in parliament tomorrow. The real action, though, is in brussels. And until there is a brexit breakthrough, these uk officials are sworn to secrecy. Ministers know that further compromises may be needed. I trust borisjohnson to ensure the relationship the uk has with the European Union is one where we are not a vassal state. And that is the point that we are leading towards in all these discussions. Its a blockbuster week for brexit. Tomorrow, there is the queens speech, on thursday and friday, a crucial eu summit, and then an extraordinary sitting of parliament the first on a saturday in more than three decades. Even if there is a deal to vote on, its unlikely to please labour. The problem areas are of regulation and deregulation, which come from whatever trade arrangement there is with europe and the wider world. But also, perhaps very seriously, is the irish border issue. Westminsters Third Largest party is also gearing up for a fight. The snp has a clear stop brexit message, and the leader doesnt mind how its done. This brexit fiasco is in such a mess, the implications and the consequences are so potentially damaging that i think any responsible leader wanting to do the right thing for the people they represent would keep all options open. Back in london, preparations for the state opening of parliament are almost complete. Who knows what theyll be getting ready for this time next week . Peter saull, bbc news. An anglican priest who converted to roman catholicism in the 19th century has been declared a saint at a ceremony in the vatican today. Cardinaljohn henry newman is the first english person in almost 50 years to be declared a saint. Hes been credited with two miracles by the vatican curing a mans spinal disease and healing a womans unstoppable bleeding. Prince charles joined the mass in st peters square, in which four women were also canonised. Injapan, the death toll from super typhoon hagibis has risen to 26, with another 21 people missing. The huge storm has ripped across most of central and northern japan, last night dumping record quantities of rain. 0ur correspondent Rupert Wingfield hayes has travelled north of tokyo, where rescue efforts are still under way. This is the town of chikuma in the japanese alps. Much of it now enveloped by brown, dirty floodwater. On saturday night, the levies burst, unable to withstand the onslaught from typhoon hagibis. All day, the military has been racing to pluck those stranded from roofs and balconies. It is a story that has been repeated over and over. This afternoon, we made it to kawagoe, an hour north of tokyo. Here, too, the rivers have burst their banks. This behind me is an old peoples home where 220 people were stranded last night when the flood waters came in here. You can see they are still taking people out 18 hours later. Whats truly remarkable about this typhoon is its scale. There are floods and rescues like this going on in at least eight different prefectures right across the main island ofjapan. People we talked to are shocked and numb. Translation i have lived here 32 years. It is the first time ive seen anything like this. I was shaking with fear last night. Translation i watched the live camera of the river and i could see it coming up and up, getting closer and closer to the top. I never thought Something Like this would happen in my neighbourhood. I was so surprised. Japan is just starting to count the Economic Cost of this single storm. Outside nagano city, a line of shiny bullet trains, swamped by the floodwaters. Each one of these trains costs 29 million us dollars. Rupert wingfield hayes, bbc news, in kawagoe, eastern japan. Well, the typhoon had threatened scotlands crucial game against japan in the Rugby World Cup, but the match was given the go ahead and is now under way. It means scotland still have a chance to qualify for the quarterfinals. Andy swiss is in yokohama. We are midway through the second half, and a later score, i can tell you, isjapan, 28, half, and a later score, i can tell you, is japan, 28, scotland, 1a. The fa ct you, is japan, 28, scotland, 1a. The fact that this match is happening at all is fairly remarkable. Just hours after the typhoon. In fact, before kick off, there was a minutes silence to remember those affected. Scotla nd silence to remember those affected. Scotland have to win this match to have any chance of going through to the quarterfinals, and i got off to a perfect start with an early try, but japan hit back a perfect start with an early try, butjapan hit back in quite a perfect start with an early try, but japan hit back in quite dazzling fashion, three superb tries before half time, including this one. They led 217 half time, including this one. They led 21 7 at half time. Since the break, both teams have scored tries, but as things stand, japan are going through to the quarterfinals, and scotla nd through to the quarterfinals, and scotland will be heading home. Earlier own, wales finished top of their group with a 35 13 win over uruguay, meaning they will face france in the quarterfinals. You can see more on all of todays stories on the bbc news channel. The next news on bbc one is at 5 50. Hello, youre watching the bbc news channel with ben brown. Its1. 10pm. Lets get more on the the family of harry dunn, the nineteen year old killed in a crash involving an american woman, are flying to the united states, to raise their concerns about the case with politicians there. Anne sacoolas, the wife of a us Intelligence Officer, left the uk after the collision in august. Shes now said she wants to meet the teenagers parents. Earlier, i spoke to mark stephens, the lawyer representing harry dunns family, who you saw a few minutes earlier in our report. He explained what they are hoping to achieve by going to washington. One of the things they are hoping to achieve is that, by fleeing britishjustice, Anne Sacoolas effectively denied them the opportunity to understand what happened in the last seconds of harrys life and, as a consequence, theyve been seeking for some weeks now an explanation from her, an opportunity to talk to her so that they can get psychological closure on that part and move to the grieving part. At the moment, theyve been held in limbo and suspension so they are going to washington in the hope that Anne Sacoolas will see them. Her lawyers have put out a statement saying that is possible and, if it is, that should be a good thing for them. Her lawyers saying that she would like to meet harry dunns parents so she can express her sympathies and apologies for this tragic so so that she can express our deepest sympathies and apologies for this tragic accident, so it looks like a meeting is probably quite likely. One would hope so. The other thing is youve got to remember that Anne Sacoolas, and it is a tragedy for that family, too, so it is important. The problem i think here is that we are seeing yet another mealy mouthed politicians letter from the Foreign Office here where they are saying mrs sacoolas, because she is in america, doesnt have diplomatic immunity. Everybody knew that all along. Diplomatic immunity only applies when you are in the host country, in this case the uk. It never applies once you go back to your own country. And i think it was the threat of the dunns calling her into court in america that has actually brought forth this suggested meeting. But do harry dunns parents want her to return to the United Kingdom . I think they would like to see justice followed. The usual course here, and her behaviour has been quite exceptional, almost unique, if you go to court, you say, i have diplomatic immunity, that is scrutinised by the court and if the court thinks that is right, then you are discharged and you carry on like a diplomat living in the country. In this case, the americans, british knew full well she wasnt entitled to diplomatic immunity, it wouldnt have withstood proper scrutiny in british courts and, so, she fled on a us transport plane back to america. I hope her letterfrom her lawyer says she wants to cooperate with the police. But, ultimately, that is not a matterfor the dunn family, that is for northamptonshire police, the chief constable, if she is to stand charges for manslaughter or whatever it is, then in those circumstances that is a completely separate issue. As far as the dunn family are concerned, they need this psychological closure on this particular stage so they can move to grief and some measure of healing within theirfamily. Mark stephens, lawyer for harry dunns family. The bbc has discovered three british orphans trapped in a camp for Islamic State families in syria. They are believed to be from london their parentsjoined the Islamic State group five years ago, and were subsequently killed in the fighting. There are thousands of children in camps across the region whose parents supported is and most of their countries dont want them home. Quentin sommerville has this report. You might find some of these images distressing. Beyond this fence are the lost children of the caliphate thousands locked up and abandoned in camps across Northern Syria. Their only sin their parents supported the Islamic State group. They came from across the globe, leaving schools and homes and safety behind and are now stranded on syrian soil. Countless childhoods violated and put on hold. Their parents died fighting for is. This group are all orphans. It is here where we found amira, a little girl who almost forgot who she was. This is her brother, hamza. Here is her sister, heba. Amira was taken from britain when she was just five years old. Now ten, she struggles to write in english. The words london, the uk, do not come easily, but the memories of the life that she had taken from her shine brightly. Go to a park, i go to a funfair. I go to a centre and go to my grandmums house. Her kurdish guardian says amira is british. But after the trauma of the last five years, she cant even remember her grandmothers name. This is no place for children. They need to be rescued. Many are sick or injured. Amiras sister heba is eight years old. Her body bears the marks of an almost unimaginable horror. It is too upsetting for them to describe. The mental scars of the last days of the caliphate in baghuz run even deeper. When we were in baghuz, we were living in tents. And there was not that much food. And they bombed. They bombed one tent. And our dad told us to get out before our tents caught fire. The onslaught in baghuz saw hundreds die as coalition bombs set off is weapons stores. The children cowered in shallow pits. Amira lost her mother and father in the onslaught, as well as two sisters and an older brother. We are going to pack our stuff and get out. The aeroplane came and bombed. My mum died, my lttle brother and my sisters. After that, it was all going on fire, so we just got out. There was a little house and a big mountain and behind it, everybody stayed there, everyone not killed. I saw my brother, he was walking up, running across as my mum was dead there. There were bombs and guns. Yeah, he just ran and went down. When he was running, the little house broke and that is when i think he died. The children in this camp face another risk. There are many women here who still cling to is ideology. When i grow up, i want to get a fruite from the tree. Fruit from the tree. Amira wants to come home. She dreams of having her own garden. Id like to get watermelon. Id like to get strawberries. Id like to get cherry. Id like to get blueberries. Apples, oranges and bananas. These children who have been through so much face a new threat they are not far from the turkish lines. The bbc has informed the government of their plight and if theyre set to drink it can be proved, they may be rescued. If their citizenship can be proved, they may be rescued. We have not been able to find any of their relatives, but surely somewhere in london there is a grandmother waiting, not knowing if they are alive or dead. What of the thousands of other children here stranded in syria . Who will give them sanctuary . They too are victims of the Islamic State. Quentin somerville, bbc news. He made history yesterday by becoming the first person ever to run a marathon in under two hours. The kenyan athlete, eliud kipchoge, covered the 26. 2 mile course in one hour 59 minutes a0 seconds in the vienna, austria. This morning he spoke to bbc brea kfasts sally nugent, who asked him how he celebrated his historic feat. We celebrated as a team. The whole team from the local organisation, all the organisers from ineos and my management and even vienna city marathon. The local organiser celebrated in a positive and in a good way at night. So it was cool and i enjoyed. Is there any chance now that you might try and do the same thing on a competition course . For now, i am purely concentrating on my recovery. After recovery, then i am working with the team and will follow my team, we will discuss what next and then in one or two months i will relate my programme and let you guys follow us. What were the hardest moments for you . Were there any moments that were really challenging along those nearly two hours . Yes, when i woke up and from the time of waking up until starting the race i think was the hardest time i have had in my life. It was about 30 minutes, but all in all from the start, eight oclock or 815 until ten or 1014, i try to have the pace, be calm and concentrate on the distance. Concentrating on the time, and actually listening to my team, actually listen to my body, listening to the distances and taking fluids. That is how it goes. That momentous feat achieving the milestone in under two hours, well done to him. California has become the first us state to ban the manufacture and sale of animalfur. From 2023, residents will no longer be able to sell or make clothing, shoes or handbags from fur. The move has been celebrated by Animal Rights groups who have been calling for a ban for some time. But opponents say the measures will affect local businesses and could lead to a black market. For decades, scientists have been debating the benefits of animal therapy. Many suggest that in Depth Research is still needed to ensure the effectiveness of such treatment, but thats a view disputed by one physiotherapist who works with disabled children in the brazilian amazon. Over the last 13 years, hes helped more than 600 youngsters to swim with dolphins with some incredible results. Take a look. Now its time for a look at the weather. A wet awet pumpkin a wet pumpkin feel behind me and as i was saying earlier, find me a try when if you can. It is not that great, if you do not go a long way up great, if you do not go a long way up scotland. It is still pretty dry there. Once his whole body of the frontal system, the most easterly future moves toward the new continent, there are brighter skies likely to break out. Do not get caught out banners across the cut than counties of england. Perhaps pa rt than counties of england. Perhaps part of the midlands and wales too. It is quite slow, but we will get in the end. Now the parts of england, east side of Northern Ireland and southern parts of scotland, it is one of those afternoons. 1011 degrees at best. Further south gusty winds, ten or 11 degrees at best. Overnight, pushing much of this runaway and the front in the south comes again with a new low pressure bringing rain back perilously close to the west of cornwall. It may be a chilly out there and into pembrokeshire as well. Monday, a busy chart. The long and short of it is that this most westerly feature 01 is that this most westerly feature or got to the western side of the British Isles and the rain at the southis British Isles and the rain at the south is still open to a little bit of doubt. The doubt is how far north 01 of doubt. The doubt is how far north or how far west it is going to come. Do not bank on it being a dry day com pletely do not bank on it being a dry day completely in birmingham, for example, or indeed in hull. You may see the rain a little bit earlier than i am showing here. Monday evening, it could get very wet indeed across the central and eastern parts of england. That could be several tens of millimetres of rain, but at least it is a mobile situation and that rain eventually comes to effect the eastern side of scotla nd comes to effect the eastern side of scotland as we get on through the day on tuesday. Just eventually, after a not too promising start turns out to be a decent sort of day, although you will notice out towards the western side of the British Isles another set of weather fronts coming in from the atlantic. These look like they will get their skates on for the most part and could be through the British Isles for the most part. And could lead a happy sunday. They were not quite the fine artist or the far south east. For the latter part of the week, we go into a mixture of sunny spells and showers. More details on the website. Enough of me, lets have a bit more of ben. Sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, heres jon watson. Bring us the latest and the all important bring us the latest and the all importa nt scotland and bring us the latest and the all important scotland and japan by all important scotland and japan rugby match. Scotlands quarter final hopes are in the balance, theyre thrilling final group game with japan at the Rugby World Cup nearing its conclusion, a match they have to win to stand any chance of reaching the knocut stage. Andy swiss is there in yokohama, andy what a match. What a contest we are being treated to. Scotland trailing 28 21. With ten minutes remaining. That is right. What incredible drama we have seen over the last half hour 01 so. We have seen over the last half hour or so. As you say, scotland currently trailing by 28. 221 to japan. They are other contacts are quizzing for this is that scotland have two win this match, but they will need bonus points as well. They have an awful lot of work to do, not just to overtake japan, but to get the bonus point that they need as well. It was an incredible start to the first half when scotland got off to the perfect start with an early try from fenner russell, but japan hit back in incredible style. Three tries before half time and 1121 27 in early try from finn russell. It seems that japan were strolling through to the quarterfinals, but back have come scotland with two tries of their own to reduce the deficit to just 28 21. Around ten minutes left. Scotland still have a chance of pulling off what would be a quite extraordinary comeback. Remember, japan have never reached the quarterfinals of this tournament. They won three matches at the last world cup. Became the first team to win three matches, but not get through to the quarterfinals and now they have a real chance of doing it, but it is going to be a nail biting final ten minutes.
