Wildfires whipped up by fierce winds continue to sweep california the authorities declare a statewide emergency more to come if you thought englands performance couldnt get any better at the world cup coach eddiejones says, yes, it will and coming up on bbc news, booed by his own fans and now criticised for his reaction, arsenal capital granit xhaka is asked to apologise for his behaviour during the draw with crystal palace. Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. The eu has extended the deadline for brexit meaning the uk will not now leave this thursday, as promised repeatedly by the Prime Minister. Eu leaders have put forward a flextension making the new deadline the end of january 2020 but meaning that brexit could happen before then if Parliament Approves a deal. Mps will vote later on Boris Johnsons plan for a general election on december 12 with opposition parties proposing one on december 9th. Lets go over now to simon mccoy, whos in westminster. Thanks reeta yes, so borisjohnsons do or die, no ifs or buts pledge to leave the eu this thursday looks dead. With many here believing that the option of a no deal brexit is now parked until at least that eu extension date of january the 31st. So now mps here have to make a decision on whether there should be an election before christmas. And labour . Well all eyes will be on them this afternoon to see what they do. Our Political Correspondent chris mason reports. Walking towards us, right now, another delay to brexit. It will be another delay to brexit. It will be a short and efficient meeting and i am happy that the decision has been taken. Is this extension to long . Will it drag on . The eu has given the uk until the end ofjanuary to work out what it once, despite the Prime Minister saying this sort of stuff for the last few months. Id rather be dead in a ditch. Come out of the eu on october the 31st, no ifs or buts. We are coming out of the eu on october the 31st, come what may. But here he is, his central promise broken. Not my fault, he says, blame parliament, so he wants a new parliament, via an election in december. The last time there was a general election just before christmas was nearly a century ago incidentally, the conservatives led by Stanley Baldwin won the most seats back then but guess what . It was a hung parliament. Anyway, lets not put off today s tories, it looks like they will lose a vote later, calling foran they will lose a vote later, calling for an election. Part the numbers there . Well, it is without a doubt a challenging vote. You say its a challenging vote. You say its a challenging though, is that code for no chance . No, no, not at all, i think theres a good chance we can get this through but its going to be challenging. So what is happening here . All of the parties will tell you they want a general election. But whisper it, they on their terms, so but whisper it, they on their terms, so conservatives want an election but they want a crack at getting their brexit deal sorted first. The labour party once an election but one day no deal brexit ruled out first in the Scottish National party and the liberal democrats, they want and the liberal democrats, they want an election but they want the government s brexit deal shelved first. Let me welcome the fact we have an extension to the 31st of january but i think theres a responsibility on all of us to make sure we use that time to get out of the brexit mess we are in. We want to stop brexit, actually the snp wa nt to stop brexit, actually the snp want to do that too but our primary goal of stopping brexit and the only way we can do that is through a democratic mandate of the people. The critics of the lib dems and snp say theyve given up on another referendum. I hope the lib dems and snp get back around the table with those of us who do one day people spoke, a Million People didnt march round election, they marched for a new site. So how long untilwe round election, they marched for a new site. So how long until we see pictures like these again . Can you come back to me on that . Chris mason, bbc news. In a moment well speak to adam fleming in brussels, but first lets speak to our assistant Political Editor norman smith. Just how likely is that there will be an election before christmas . Simon, i think the prospect of a pre christmas election have just gone up and up and up, why . Because we are seeing emerging the most unlikely of alliances between Boris Johnson and the liberal democrats and the snp. Borisjohnson fervently in favour of brexit, the liberal democrats and snp fervently opposed to brexit but they too, now want a general election because they believe there is no chance of getting a second referendum in this parliament so they think have an election, change the arithmetic, maybe you get a pro referendum parliament. Boris johnson maybe you get a pro referendum parliament. Borisjohnson draws the opposite conclusion, he thinks have an election, you get a much more pro brexit parliament, clearly they cant both be right. But, the Prime Minister tomorrow is expected to introduce a simple bill which would only need a majority to trigger a general election and crucially, it will be a lot like one already tabled by the liberal democrats, in other words, it will have a good chance of getting their backing. Meanwhile, standing humming in the background as the labour party, with some aroundjeremy background as the labour party, with some around Jeremy Corbyn saying we cant stand on the sidelines, it looks defeatist, it looks like we are on the defensive, others are saying like this long, the more it drags on the weaker borisjohnson gets but you just sense the chess pieces on the brexit board are beginning to move around. And the odd couple alliance could yet trigger a pre christmas election. Norman, thank you. Lets go to adam fleming. This word, flexible extension, explain it. It is a clever bit of branding by donald tess, the president of the european council, because article 50 of the eu treaty which sets the ground rules for the Brexit Process set a maximum end date but if the deal had been approved on both sides earlier than that maximum end date the uk could always have left at an earlier date. What has happened is the eu has extended the article 50 deadline until the 31st of january at the latest, but its just been made abundantly super clear to every mp at westminster that if you vote for the deal before that, the uk could leave before that. Which gives us potential brexit dates of the 30th of november, the 31st of december, new years eve, or at the 31st of january. What the eu is trying to balance here is two competing things, applying just the right amount of pressure at westminster to get the deal through, to appeal to mps. But also, to have the minimum amount of impact on british domestic politics and i think theyve found the right balance certainly in their own minds and there was a massive sigh of relief, you could almost hear it in the buildings around here when this decision was made this morning, very quickly, a meeting that lasted 30 minutes because the next time all the diplomats, the officials, Civil Servants and leaders have to think about brexit is either because the deal has gone through at westminster fairly quickly or because we are back at the end of the extension injanuary which means if the stalemate continues in the uk they do not have to worry about dealing with that until the new year. The start of the new year. But you do hear a few people muttering, hang on, what of the discussion has to be had again if the stalemate continues and needs to be another extension . Adam, thank you. Adam fleming in brussels. As norman said the government once the election on the 12th of december. Meanwhile the snp and lib dems are calling for an election on 9 december. Whats the difference . Our reality check correspondent, chris morris is here. The vote later today is about the 12th. Its about the government proposal, the election on december the 12 having already pushed the brexit withdrawal legislation through parliament, they hope by the 2nd of december. This is under the fixed Term Parliament act which means you need a two thirds majority in parliament to get it through. So that really needs the labour party on board so unless we see labour pirouetting unexpectedly in the next few hours, that gambit is going to fail. The advantage of the government as they can turn around and say, once again we get the opposition the chance to vote for the election they say they want and once again they have turned it down. In the meantime, the lib dems and the snp had got together and they suggest december the 9th, what is that about . Earlier in the same week. One of the reasons for this slight change in days perhaps his stu d e nts slight change in days perhaps his students in key marginal constituencies are more likely to still be in those constituencies where they vote just a few days earlier but the biggest difference with the lib dems plan is that this would not be under the fixed Term Parliament act, it would be under a new piece of legislation, a simple one line bill and that would only require a simple majority, 50 plus one in parliament so if you had a couple of opposition parties along with the government, a pretty good chance of succeeding. There are two dangers for the government, the first is because its a new bill it could be amended, for example, to say 16 year olds can vote or eu citizens who have been here and had permanent residents can vote and that would probably go against the government and a general election. Of course the second danger is we hear perhaps the government itself if it fails today, will put forward a simple bill tomorrow for a simple majority. The danger there of course, big gamble for Boris Johnson, if he went to an election before passing the brexit legislation and lost it, then brexit itself could be lost altogether. Chris, thank you very much. That vote on the 12th proposal, but shortly after 5p pm this afternoon, coverage on the bbc news channel but back to the studio. Simon, thank you. Instagram says it will remove all images showing people how to hurt or kill themselves, including explicit drawings and cartoons. The move follows concerns raised by the death of molly russell, the 14 year old who killed herself in 2017 after viewing graphic material online. Some viewers may find angus crawfords report upsetting. Ian russell in the heart of Silicon Valley. To get to some answers about what the tech giants are doing on harmful content. Molly took her own life after viewing graphic material about self harm and suicide. Mainly on instagram. Despite a crackdown on those posts, look hard enough and they are still there, graphic and dark. I think im probably disappointed that there is so much material still just so easily found. But today, revealed to bbc news, new, tougher measures against a wider range of material. Images of methods and materials used in self harm. That is a significant step forward. Im proud of that step forward. It will take time to implement fully throughout the product. But its also not going to be the last step that we take. So thats a new commitment, notjust to remove the graphic images of self harm but the dark memes and pictures about suicide, nooses, pills, razor blades. Success wont be measured in the words of the chief executive, but whether in time, genuinely, instagram becomes a safer place for young people. Safer social media by design. A message embraced by a new generation of tech entrepreneurs. This app, squad, built by a mum for her 14 year old daughter. Its like hard, honestly, for me to hear you talk about this because i feel like this is my industry and we are not doing enough for parents and families and kids to keep them safe on these platforms. And we should and theres really no excuse. So, some change in Silicon Valley but for now, for molly, ian russells journey goes on. Angus crawford, bbc news.

A lorry driver has appeared in court via video link, charged in connection with the deaths of 39 people found in a refrigerated container in essex. Maurice robinson, whos 25 and from county armagh, faces 39 counts of manslaughter and conspiracy to traffic people. He has been remanded in custody to appear at the old bailey on november the 25th. Richard lister reports. The Prime Minister in thurrock today signing a book of condolence for the 39 people who died in the back of a lorry bound for britain. He wrote that the whole nation was shocked by what had happened and by the cruelty suffered by innocent people hoping for a better life. After laying flowers in their memory, he and the home secretary were briefed by the Emergency Services as the investigation continues. And, 20 miles away in chelmsford, the first person to be charged in this case appeared in court via video link. 25 year old Maurice Robinson from craigavon in northern ireland, is accused of 39 counts of manslaughter, conspiracy to commit Human Trafficking and assist unlawful immigration, as well as money laundering. His Court Appearance lasted just four minutes, he spoke to confirm his name to come, age and address and the fact that he is british but there was no application for bail and he was not required to enter a plea. Thejudge ordered him to appear next at the old bailey in four weeks time. The investigation is moving on severalfronts. On saturday essex police said a man arrested at dublin port on other charges was also a person of interest in this case. The belgian authorities believe he was one of the drivers. Three other people have been arrested and released on bail in the uk. I want to pay tribute if i can to all of the Emergency Services, to all of the Emergency Services, to all of the agencies, to the local council and of course, to the communities in essex and in thurrock who have been so supportive and we work and we continue to try and bring justice for these families to bring justice for these families to bring these people, put them in front of the courts, to answer for their crimes wherever they might be in the world. Police are still examining the lorry where last weeks grisly discovery was made. They are working with the vietnamese authorities to identify some of those who died here. But its a slow process, and the extent of this Human Trafficking operation is still not clear. Us intelligence agents say theyve collected valuable information from the compound in syria where the Islamic State leader Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi died on saturday. This is thought to include plans for future attacks around the world. Al baghdadi blew himself up after being cornered by us special forces. There are also reports that another senior Islamic State figure was also killed. Chris buckler reports. Us forces carried out this raid with orders to capture or kill. The deliberate and carefully planned strike left the compound where Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi was hiding as little more than rubble. As others surrendered or were shot, the Islamic State leader tried to escape, running into a tunnel with three children, where, cornered, he blew himself up. We believe we knew where he would be, by thursday afternoon the president and i were informed that there was a high probability he would be at the compound in idlib province. The president immediately directed our commanders to develop military options. Watching in the white house situation room was President Trump. And during a News Conference the us commander in chief was keen to take credit for the death of a man he called sick and depraved. A brutal killer, one who has caused so much hardship and death, has violently been eliminated. He will never again harm another innocent man, woman or child. He died like a dog, he died like a coward, the world is now a much safer place. Baghdadi was last seen earlier this year in an Islamic State propaganda video. The us and others hope the loss of his leadership will make it less likely that is will be able to regroup. It once controlled a significant amount of territory in syria but all that is gone. Translation i am happy because i was imprisoned three times by is, i have problems with my back and nervous system. Until now, because of all the torture. Thank god i am happy today, very happy. But many are warning that while the is leader is dead, the ideology that inspired him and others to commit countless atrocities is still a threat to the middle east and the rest of the world. And Chris Buckler is in washington now. Looking at the politics of this, it will not do donald trump any harm. This is a president facing impeachment inquiries and battered by claims that he doesnt have a grasp of foreign policy, particularly, after that decision to allow turkey to invade Northern Syria and giving up in some respects his american allies, the Kurdish Forces to allow them to be attacked by the turks. What is interesting about this is that the kurds help the americans to find Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi. They were central and that. He can claim a victory. If you listen to that speech, it was full of language that was perhaps not president ial but certainly making the most of what had happened, talking about him whimpering and cowering, and Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi dying like a dog, like a coward, all language designed to attract and american voter. If you look at the stat
