0:00:22 > 0:00:23Good afternoon.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets
0:00:26 > 0:00:28of Harare in Zimbabwe calling for the resignation
0:00:28 > 0:00:32of President Robert Mugabe.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34He's been under house arrest - apart from one public
0:00:34 > 0:00:36appearance yesterday - since the army seized
0:00:36 > 0:00:37power on Wednesday.
0:00:37 > 0:00:42Our Senior Africa Correspondent, Anne Soy, reports from Harare.
0:00:42 > 0:00:49This is not the typical coup, it's more like a carnival.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Zimbabweans here are already celebrating the end
0:00:50 > 0:00:57of President Robert Mugabe's rule.
0:00:57 > 0:01:03This is an unprecedented show of defiance against the strong man.
0:01:03 > 0:01:13These soldiers are the new heroes in town.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Zimbabweans are ecstatic.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20They say the soldiers have granted them their second independence.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22A moment they've all been waiting for.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Years of emotion poured out on the streets.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25What does this mean for you?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28New Zimbabwe, freedom has finally come!
0:01:28 > 0:01:33CHEERING
0:01:33 > 0:01:37What about you?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39I don't have to express it because I can't believe it,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41it's like I'm dreaming.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46CHEERING
0:01:46 > 0:01:48First Lady Grace Mugabe hasn't been seen in public
0:01:48 > 0:01:54since the military took control of the country.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Neither has the former vice president, Emmerson Mnangagwa,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00the man tipped to succeed Robert Mugabe.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03These people fought for independence led by Robert Mugabe.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04Now they are asking him to resign.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07This is all choreographed to put pressure on the president
0:02:07 > 0:02:17to leave and to give the transition some legitimacy.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Like many Zimbabweans, Rachel has only ever known Robert Mugabe has
0:02:23 > 0:02:29president.It means a new Zimbabwe, a new era, and I'm fighting for my
0:02:29 > 0:02:33children so they can have a better future. I'm happy that she will grow
0:02:33 > 0:02:39up knowing a different president from the one I grew up knowing. Yes.
0:02:39 > 0:02:46Thousands of Zimbabweans are out to make a strong statement. They want
0:02:46 > 0:02:49change. For now, any change would do.
0:02:51 > 0:02:58Live now to Harare and our correspondent, Shingai Nyoka.
0:02:58 > 0:03:03Is there any sense that that pressure and was talking about being
0:03:03 > 0:03:07brought to bear on President Mugabe might force the president to leave
0:03:07 > 0:03:16office?It's difficult to see how he wouldn't be affected by the scenes
0:03:16 > 0:03:21he is no doubt watching from his home under house arrest. Probably on
0:03:21 > 0:03:26TV. Hundreds of thousands of people have been pouring through the
0:03:26 > 0:03:30streets with one message that President Mugabe must go. Moments
0:03:30 > 0:03:35ago we understand that some of those protesters not only marched to the
0:03:35 > 0:03:41official residence, but also his private house, that they were
0:03:41 > 0:03:46singing at his gate, telling him that his 37 years in office is up.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51We've not heard anything for more from him. But his nephew, also a
0:03:51 > 0:03:56Cabinet minister, spoke to the voters agency earlier today. The
0:03:56 > 0:04:00latest we have is that he said President Mugabe will not legitimise
0:04:00 > 0:04:03the coup and he won't break the constitution by stepping down. --
0:04:03 > 0:04:09spoke the Reuters news agency.Thank you very much.
0:04:09 > 0:04:15Richard Leonard has been elected the new Leader of Scottish Labour.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Mr Leonard, who's backed by most trade unions,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19replaces Kezia Dugdale who resigned in August.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22In his victory speech, he called for "a vision for the future -
0:04:22 > 0:04:23and a vision for hope again."
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Our Scotland Editor, Sarah Smith, reports.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28APPLAUSE.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Electing Richard Leonard as their leader marks a left turn
0:04:30 > 0:04:31for the Scottish Labour Party.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34He says his victory means they will now follow
0:04:34 > 0:04:41a more radical agenda.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44There is now a settled consensus established around a radical policy
0:04:44 > 0:04:46agenda for the Scottish Labour Party of extending public ownership,
0:04:46 > 0:04:48tackling inequality and poverty, a more progressive taxation system.
0:04:48 > 0:04:55APPLAUSE.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Hello, Ben, it's Richard Leonard...
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Richard Leonard was only elected to the Scottish Parliament last year.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03He is a Yorkshireman who has spent his adult life working
0:05:03 > 0:05:06in Scotland as a trades union organiser and he is
0:05:06 > 0:05:09a committed Corbyn loyalist.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12There are times in the past where it has appeared
0:05:12 > 0:05:14that the Scottish Labour Party has looked to pick fights
0:05:14 > 0:05:17with Jeremy Corbyn.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I certainly will not be doing that.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21We cannot afford the luxury of splits and divisions.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23We need to work together and I am determined
0:05:23 > 0:05:26that the Scottish Labour Party, from whom today I have received
0:05:26 > 0:05:29a mandate, will be working closely and in step with Jeremy Corbyn
0:05:29 > 0:05:34and the entire Labour Party.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Anas Sarwar, the defeated candidate in a fractious race,
0:05:37 > 0:05:41says the party must now unite around their new leader.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43The departing leader, Kezia Dugdale, has surprising
0:05:43 > 0:05:49news of her own today.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52She is to appear on "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!",
0:05:52 > 0:05:55a decision that has been sharply criticised by members of the party.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Sarah Smith, BBC News.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Air accident investigators are trying to find out what caused
0:05:59 > 0:06:01a light aircraft and a helicopter to collide over Buckinghamshire
0:06:01 > 0:06:02yesterday afternoon.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Two pilots and two passengers died near the village of Waddesdon.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Let's speak to our reporter Dan Johnson who's there now,
0:06:07 > 0:06:13Dan what's the latest?
0:06:13 > 0:06:21Is there any update at all on this investigation? Not really. The
0:06:21 > 0:06:25police say it is too early to tell what caused this crash. They are
0:06:25 > 0:06:29piecing together what happened but it will take more time. It is
0:06:29 > 0:06:33difficult, complicated work and it isn't being helped by the conditions
0:06:33 > 0:06:37on a wet, miserable day. Air accident investigators have been
0:06:37 > 0:06:41going through the piece of wreckage this morning, which are spread
0:06:41 > 0:06:45through woodland down the road on the edge of a country estate. People
0:06:45 > 0:06:49who were here yesterday at midday described how they heard a loud bang
0:06:49 > 0:06:53and saw two objects spinning out of the sky to the ground before there
0:06:53 > 0:06:55was another loud crash and the wreckage is now spread through that
0:06:55 > 0:07:01woodland. Work for investigators to do. Police he said it would be
0:07:01 > 0:07:04releasing the identities of the four people who died in this crash until
0:07:04 > 0:07:09they have spoken to their families and until they have been officially
0:07:09 > 0:07:14identified. Investigators expect to be here at the crash scene, probably
0:07:14 > 0:07:17over the weekend, and until Monday. Thanks very much indeed.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Hundreds of volunteers have are helping Dorset police search
0:07:19 > 0:07:22for the missing teenager Gaia Pope, who disappeared 11 days ago.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24The search is focussing on three locations around Swanage.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Miss Pope's family confirmed that an item of clothing found
0:07:26 > 0:07:29earlier this week matched what she was believed to be wearing
0:07:29 > 0:07:30on the day she went missing.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Yesterday, detectives released a 49-year-old man who'd been
0:07:32 > 0:07:40arrested on suspicion of murder.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Tens of thousands of people on low incomes are facing the prospect
0:07:43 > 0:07:45of receiving no Universal Credit payments in December.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47The government has confirmed that claimants who work and are paid
0:07:47 > 0:07:50weekly could find their benefit stopped, as there are five
0:07:50 > 0:07:52paydays in the month - which could tip them
0:07:52 > 0:07:59over the threshold.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Now, with all the sport - here's Katherine Downes
0:08:01 > 0:08:05at the BBC Sport Centre.
0:08:05 > 0:08:11Good afternoon. Good afternoon, Matthew.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13The North London derby is the big fixture in
0:08:13 > 0:08:15the Premier League this lunchtime - Arsenal hosting Tottenham
0:08:15 > 0:08:17at the Emirates.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19It is currently 1-0 to Arsenal approaching half-time.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23There's another full schedule of rugby union's
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Autumn Internationals.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Scotland face the toughest test of the day -
0:08:27 > 0:08:28they take on New Zealand,
0:08:28 > 0:08:30while Wales face Georgia and Ireland play Fiji.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33For England, its Australia at Twickenham - our correspondent
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Joe Wilson is there for us:
0:08:35 > 0:08:40It is a measure of how far Eddie Jones has raised the bar as
0:08:40 > 0:08:43England's coach. People don't just expect England to win these days but
0:08:43 > 0:08:47to win with style. Last time out against Argentina they did not need
0:08:47 > 0:08:51to be at their best for victory. Today against Australia I think they
0:08:51 > 0:08:56will need to be. Farrell comes back into the team to maybe install
0:08:56 > 0:08:59fluency, but it is a grey and slippery day at Twickenham, not the
0:08:59 > 0:09:03occasion to be throwing the ball about. Remember, Eddie Jones has won
0:09:03 > 0:09:07all of his games as England coach at Twickenham. And that proud record
0:09:07 > 0:09:11will be tested here this afternoon. Thanks for now.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13England's women have thrashed Canada 79-5 in the opening
0:09:13 > 0:09:16match of their three test series - Harlequins wing Jess Breach scoring
0:09:16 > 0:09:18six of their 13 tries, on her debut.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22The sides play again next Tuesday and Saturday.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24English motorcyclist Daniel Hegarty has died after crashing
0:09:24 > 0:09:25at the Macau Grand Prix.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26He was 31.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29The race was stopped and leader Glenn Irwin declared the winner
0:09:29 > 0:09:35but there were no anthems played or celebrations on the podium.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38The Para Badminton Championships get underway in South Korea this week.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Great Britain is one of the leading nations in the sport,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43which will make its Paralympic debut at Tokyo 2020.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Krysten Coombs is hoping for medals at both events -
0:09:46 > 0:09:51Kate Grey has been to meet him.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Game Of Thrones is one of the biggest TV shows
0:09:54 > 0:09:57in the world, watched and loved by millions.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00But I bet you didn't know it's also featured one of the world's best
0:10:00 > 0:10:02para-badminton players, Krysten Coombs, hot favourite to win
0:10:02 > 0:10:12a medal in Tokyo when the sport makes its Paralympic debut.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15There is a real focus now.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Before, obviously you wanted to do well and still go
0:10:17 > 0:10:19to World Championships and Europeans, but to be able
0:10:19 > 0:10:22to go to the Paralympics is the biggest and best
0:10:22 > 0:10:23thing, isn't it?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25For now, he's training towards the World Championships
0:10:25 > 0:10:30and his coach is feeling pretty confident about his chances.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33He's dominated in the last 12 months, he has done really well,
0:10:33 > 0:10:35he's world number one in singles and doubles.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Moving forward, he's got to be looking to becoming
0:10:37 > 0:10:38double world champion.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Krysten moved to Sheffield this time last year to play alongside
0:10:41 > 0:10:42many of his British team-mates.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44But it is challenging times for these players as para-badminton
0:10:44 > 0:10:47currently has no funding to support its elite programmes.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50It has been really tough, you know.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54It has meant I have had to have a job at the same time,
0:10:54 > 0:10:56which, you know, I have managed to balance it out.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59I have got a great job at IKEA which is awesome
0:10:59 > 0:11:00and they are really supportive.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03As well as his day job, to help fund his badminton caree,
0:11:03 > 0:11:09Krysten has become known for his acting abilities.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I have done panto for the last five years at Christmas.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15I've also done Game Of Thrones.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Being on the set was amazing.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20We went out to Croatia to film as well which was awesome.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22What are your future plans for acting?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Is that something you want to have alongside your para-badminton?
0:11:25 > 0:11:26Maybe, I suppose.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29There is a lot of waiting around, I find, because there isn't hundreds
0:11:29 > 0:11:31of dwarf roles every year, it is very small, specific things.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35At the moment, I think I will put it on hold a bit and concentrate
0:11:35 > 0:11:39now on the badminton.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44But with winter coming, will it be enough to take that world title?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49That's all the sport for now but there's much more
0:11:49 > 0:11:52on the BBC Sport website, including news of the Rugby League
0:11:52 > 0:11:54World Cup quarter-finals, and England's final Ashes warm-up
0:11:54 > 0:12:02match - plus all the latest scores from today, of course.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05It is now 2-0 to arsenal in the north London derby, just approaching
0:12:05 > 0:12:06half-time.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10You can see more on all of today's stories on the BBC News Channel.
