0:00:06 > 0:00:08Unprecedented scenes in Zimbabwe, as tens of thousands march,
0:00:08 > 0:00:14demanding the resignation of their President of four decades.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16As crowds fill the streets of Harare and Bulawayo,
0:00:16 > 0:00:18the pressure's on Robert Mugabe, who's meeting military
0:00:18 > 0:00:22commanders tomorrow.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25This is a new beginning for the people of Zimbabwe.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27What I am seeing is the death of a dynasty.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28It is so special.
0:00:28 > 0:00:35We have been waiting for this for 37 years.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Amid reports Mr Mugabe is refusing to stand down,
0:00:37 > 0:00:39it's believed his own party will consider sacking him
0:00:39 > 0:00:40as leader tomorrow.
0:00:40 > 0:00:45We'll have the latest live from Harare.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Also tonight...
0:00:47 > 0:00:50A body's found in the search for the missing teenager Gaia Pope.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Tonight, her sister paid this tribute.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55She is, I'm not going to say "was" and I never will,
0:00:55 > 0:01:02she is the absolute light of my life.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04A generational change for Sinn Fein.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Gerry Adams announces he's standing down as the party's President.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13And a fifth successive victory for England over Australia
0:01:13 > 0:01:23in their rugby union International at Twickenham.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Good evening.
0:01:36 > 0:01:46Tens of thousands of people marched in the Zimbabwean capital, Harare,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53and the second city of Bulawayo, calling on their President
0:01:53 > 0:01:55for almost four decades to stand down.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Crowds have been singing at the gates of Robert Mugabe's
0:01:57 > 0:01:59official residence, urging him to go.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01He's been under virtual house arrest since the army took control
0:02:01 > 0:02:03of the country four days ago.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05The country's ruling party, Zanu-PF, has said it'll dismiss Mr Mugabe
0:02:05 > 0:02:08as its leader tomorrow and reinstate the ousted Vice-President.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Our Africa editor, Fergal Keane, reports from Harare.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Something happened inside the people today. The shared energy that swept
0:02:15 > 0:02:26them along the streets. They were there on the big streets and small.
0:02:26 > 0:02:33A common purpose, in a place so long divided. Voices that would not have
0:02:33 > 0:02:38dared speak of Robert Mugabe a few days ago now sank his political
0:02:38 > 0:02:46requiem.It is so special, we have waited for this for 37 years.You
0:02:46 > 0:02:51have come back from England, you are happy to see this, I am sure.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Indeed, I am very happy. This is a new beginning for the people of
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Zimbabwe. What I am seeing here is the death of a dynasty.
0:02:59 > 0:03:07All the faces of the nation came into Harare. Joy was unrestrained.
0:03:07 > 0:03:16And exuberantly expressed. We watched passing soldiers being
0:03:16 > 0:03:22enveloped by eager hands and arms. Who knows what freedom the military
0:03:22 > 0:03:27coup will deliver? But an army that was once an instrument of oppression
0:03:27 > 0:03:32is now celebrated. This tells you everything. This is what the people
0:03:32 > 0:03:40feel about the Army. It may not last, these moments of genuine
0:03:40 > 0:03:46liberation. Seeing the soldiers as their saviours. Fear has been cast
0:03:46 > 0:03:50off and expectations awakened. Watching the march, I met this man,
0:03:50 > 0:03:54a paramedic with a young family. Do you believe that the Army will
0:03:54 > 0:04:01really allow you to be free now? Yes, they will. And if they don't?
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Well, it is kind of difficult for them not to allow us to be free
0:04:05 > 0:04:11because of late, we have been free, we just never exercised our freedom.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15The people of Zimbabwe! Those who force this moment included many who
0:04:15 > 0:04:18were once ardent supporters of Robert Mugabe. Now they called for
0:04:18 > 0:04:22the departure of the President and his wife.The people of Zimbabwe
0:04:22 > 0:04:26have spoken and the people of Zimbabwe have said, you and your
0:04:26 > 0:04:32husband should go today and not tomorrow!
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Robert Mugabe is under intense pressure, yet this afternoon was
0:04:35 > 0:04:43refusing to stand down. At one of his official residence, the Army was
0:04:43 > 0:04:48pushing back demonstrators. But they would not leave the area. So people
0:04:48 > 0:04:55are very angry and they want to get through. Past these Army lines to
0:04:55 > 0:04:59this official residence. One of the President's official residences. A
0:04:59 > 0:05:04man told me, we want to get in there and tell these people what we think
0:05:04 > 0:05:09of them. The Army will remain on the streets. And tomorrow, the generals
0:05:09 > 0:05:13will meet President Mugabe to tell them that their guns and the
0:05:13 > 0:05:16people's sympathies have turned against him. But there is no more
0:05:16 > 0:05:21time to play for. Everybody here now is certain the moment of Robert
0:05:21 > 0:05:22Mugabe's departure is drawing close.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24And Fergal is live in Harare tonight.
0:05:24 > 0:05:31Your assessment, then, Fergal, of what's likely to happen tomorrow?
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Well, basically, you have got three processors now running in parallel.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40The people have been on the streets, they have shown that anger to
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Mugabe. You have got the generals to meet him in the morning telling him
0:05:43 > 0:05:46again that time is up. And critically come his own party
0:05:46 > 0:05:52preparing to vote on a notion which would see him expelled. Robert
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Mugabe always said down the years that if the people wanted him to go,
0:05:56 > 0:06:01then he would not stand in the way. Today, and you can still hear horns
0:06:01 > 0:06:05blaring in the background of people who are angry about the situation,
0:06:05 > 0:06:09today, he got a very loud message and that is what he was reflecting
0:06:09 > 0:06:13on in his official residence just across the city tonight.Thank you,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15from Harare.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18The family of Gaia Pope have said they are absolutely devastated
0:06:18 > 0:06:20after police searching for the missing teenager tonight
0:06:20 > 0:06:23said the body of a young woman had been found and they were confident
0:06:23 > 0:06:29it was that of the 19 year old.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31The discovery, in Dorset, was made by specialist search
0:06:31 > 0:06:33teams close to a coastal path near Swanage.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Edina Campbell reports.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37The search for Gaia Pope has been going on for 11 days.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39But tonight, that search has come to an end.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42She is...
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I'm not going to say was and I never will,
0:06:44 > 0:06:48she is the absolute light of my life.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50So beautiful.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52So emotionally wise and intelligent.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54And, erm...
0:06:54 > 0:06:56So passionate.
0:06:56 > 0:07:02And artistic, and creative, and understanding.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05The teenager's body was found around three o'clock this afternoon,
0:07:05 > 0:07:08near the coastal path and field where some of her clothes
0:07:08 > 0:07:12were discovered earlier this week.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Just hours before the body was found, hundreds of volunteers
0:07:16 > 0:07:21took part in mass searches, in three areas around Swanage.
0:07:21 > 0:07:27We want to thank each and every one of you for everything you've done.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30If there is one ray of light in this nightmare, it is the compassion,
0:07:30 > 0:07:35humanity and community spirit that you've shown over the last ten days.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Your dedication and selflessness for a girl who many of you don't
0:07:38 > 0:07:41even know has been staggering, and one of the few things
0:07:41 > 0:07:47that kept us going.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Three people arrested on suspicion of murder
0:07:48 > 0:07:52earlier this week have all been released under investigation.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Police say for the time being, Gaia Pope's death is being
0:07:54 > 0:07:56treated as unexplained.
0:07:56 > 0:08:03Edina Campbell, BBC News.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06He's led Sinn Fein for 34 years but, tonight, Gerry Adams announced he's
0:08:06 > 0:08:08to stand down as the party's President.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10The veteran republican made the announcement at his party's
0:08:10 > 0:08:13conference in Dublin this evening.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18From there, Chris Buckler sent this report.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Tonight, Sinn Fein paid tribute to one of the men
0:08:20 > 0:08:23who built the party.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28Martin McGuinness was a key figure in its divisive leadership.
0:08:28 > 0:08:33Martin was a proud member of the IRA.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38But that was a generation ago.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40And Sinn Fein's other key figure, who has been party President
0:08:40 > 0:08:45for three and a half decades, announced this evening
0:08:45 > 0:08:52he'd stand down next year.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54I've complete confidence in the leaders we elected this
0:08:54 > 0:08:56weekend and in the next generation of years.
0:08:56 > 0:09:03And I want to thank everyone who has welcomed me into their homes
0:09:03 > 0:09:07and communities, and have made me part of countless campaigns.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Gerry Adams was the leader of Sinn Fein when the party was seen
0:09:10 > 0:09:12primarily as the political face of the IRA.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15And he was a hate figure for unionists, who saw him simply
0:09:15 > 0:09:16as an apologist for violence.
0:09:16 > 0:09:21They haven't gone away, you know.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24But the IRA has now gone away.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27And with a rise in electoral support in the Republic,
0:09:27 > 0:09:35Sinn Fein's new ambition is to be part of government in Dublin.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Not if Gerry Adams is still leader, I would think.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38That makes a difference?
0:09:38 > 0:09:39I think so.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Why?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42To a lot of people.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43Because he is tainted.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45People do believe that he was the leader of the IRA.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47He has always denied that.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50But Sinn Fein's IRA past still hangs over the party,
0:09:50 > 0:09:55both North and South of the Irish border.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Sinn Fein's new Stormont leader, Michelle O'Neill, has been unable
0:09:58 > 0:10:01to agree a deal to go back into power sharing with unionists
0:10:01 > 0:10:02in Northern Ireland.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07And there is a challenge for the next generation of leaders
0:10:07 > 0:10:13of leaders here in Dublin, like Mary Lou McDonald.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15In order to go into Coalition Government,
0:10:15 > 0:10:17they have to build relationships with parties that have been keen
0:10:17 > 0:10:19to distance themselves from Sinn Fein in the past.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Chris Buckler, BBC News, Dublin.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27The colleagues of a helicopter pilot who died in a crash with a light
0:10:27 > 0:10:29aircraft in Buckinghamshire yesterday have paid tribute to him.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Captain Mike Green was conducting a flight instructor course
0:10:31 > 0:10:33with a student when they both died.
0:10:33 > 0:10:39Two other men were also killed in the collision, which happened
0:10:39 > 0:10:40near the village of Waddesdon.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Air Accident Investigators are still trying to establish
0:10:42 > 0:10:45the cause of the crash.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47The Lebanese politician Saad Hariri, who shocked his country
0:10:47 > 0:10:49when he resigned as Prime Minister, says he will return
0:10:49 > 0:10:52to Beirut within days.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Mr Hariri announced he was standing down while in Saudi Arabia
0:10:54 > 0:10:58a fortnight ago, and he hasn't been home since.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01He was speaking in Paris today, after talks with President Macron.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06Here's our Paris correspondent, Lucy Williamson.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Having the President greet you at the Elysee Palace sends a message.
0:11:10 > 0:11:17In this case, that Mr Hariri is for France still
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Lebanon's Prime Minister - not, as some would have it,
0:11:21 > 0:11:23a political exile, fleeing Saudi-Arabian control.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25It was a show of support both political and personal.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29After the meeting, Elysee sources said France would
0:11:29 > 0:11:31continue direct contacts with the Middle East's key players.
0:11:31 > 0:11:37Mr Hariri said he was finally going home.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39TRANSLATION:I will return to Beirut in the coming
0:11:39 > 0:11:41days and will take part in our Independence
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Day celebrations.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45I will make my position known on all subjects,
0:11:45 > 0:11:50after talking to our President, Monsieur Aoun.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54President Macron wants France to have greater global influence.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Old colonial ties to Lebanon no doubt played a role
0:11:57 > 0:11:59in his invitation to Mr Hariri, but he's also stepping
0:11:59 > 0:12:02in to a delicate situation between Saudi Arabia and Iran -
0:12:02 > 0:12:09two regional powers with conflicting ties to Lebanon.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Mr Hariri had been in Saudi Arabia for two weeks since announcing his
0:12:13 > 0:12:16surprise resignation, accusing Iran and its ally,
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Hezbollah, of threatening stability in Lebanon,
0:12:18 > 0:12:28and saying he feared for his life.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Mr Macron's invitation to the Hariri family offered
0:12:31 > 0:12:34a way out of the impasse, but not a solution.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36This was like, you know, a very important meeting,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39but no solution because anyway, the solution are among the Lebanese
0:12:39 > 0:12:40and not with France.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42France can play a role, definitely, in the Middle East.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Er...
0:12:44 > 0:12:49Between Iran and Saudi Arabia, and also perhaps between the Lebanese.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52But I think that the main issues are going to happen in Lebanon
0:12:52 > 0:12:54in the next few weeks.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Mr Hariri left the Elysee Place with his family today, having tasted
0:12:57 > 0:13:05French diplomatic power.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06He's about to test his own.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Lucy Williamson, BBC News, Paris.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10With all the sport, here's Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes,
0:13:10 > 0:13:12at the BBC Sport Centre.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13Good evening.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Thanks very much.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Good evening.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Well, today's Autumn Internationals had everything for home
0:13:18 > 0:13:19nations' rugby union fans.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23There was a record-breaking win for England over Australia.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26A brave Scotland pushed world champions New Zealand all the way.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Wales survived some nervous moments on their way
0:13:28 > 0:13:29to victory over Georgia.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34And Ireland had to dig deep to overcome an enterprising Fiji.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Our correspondent, Joe Wilson, reports from Twickenham.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39At Twickenham, there was one Australian smiling.
0:13:39 > 0:13:45England's coach Eddie Jones could grin in the end.
0:13:45 > 0:13:51Second half, an England clearance kick turned into attack.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Rugby's eternal unpredictable is the bounce of the ball.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Australia Curly Beale waited for it to go out.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Elliot Daly kept it in.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01And the England player had just enough energy to finish
0:14:01 > 0:14:02it all off.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04From one end to the other.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08With the match in the balance, Australia
0:14:08 > 0:14:12crossed the line, officials decided the bald-headed Moore was offside.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13In the way.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14No score.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Australia's coach Michael Cheika choked.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18And then England ran away with it.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19Slid away with it.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Jonathan Joseph using the conditions.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Wet grass was made for this.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Jonny May scored a try and then made one for Danny
0:14:25 > 0:14:26Care.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27Suddenly, England had 30 points.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29To win in this style would make anyone smile.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Sometimes, you have to wait until the final minutes and
0:14:31 > 0:14:34earn the right to make an impact on the try line.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36These Autumn Internationals are meant to be a
0:14:36 > 0:14:38test against the best.
0:14:38 > 0:14:46And that was certainly the task for Scotland.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48New Zealand needed some exceptional performances
0:14:48 > 0:14:48from their elite players
0:14:48 > 0:14:50to get past Scotland.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51Barrett scoring here.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Even when the All Blacks led, how the home side reacted, Scotland
0:14:54 > 0:14:55played some scintillating stuff.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Here comes Huw Jones.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58In the end, the difference was just five points.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00To be so near can be hard to bear.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Ireland were close to being humbled by Fiji.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05This penalty gave them victory by just three points.
0:15:05 > 0:15:14In Cardiff, an experimental Welsh side
0:15:14 > 0:15:17had to cling on against Georgia, in white, who were attacking
0:15:17 > 0:15:21until the whistle.
0:15:21 > 0:15:2613-6, a day of if onlys for rugby's underdogs.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28There were 26 goals in today's eight Premier League games.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Match of the Day follows the news, so if you want to wait
0:15:31 > 0:15:33for the results, please avert your attention now.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34In the early kick-off...
0:15:34 > 0:15:37The North London derby went the way of Arsenal for the first
0:15:37 > 0:15:39time in three years, as they comfortably
0:15:39 > 0:15:40beat Tottenham 2-0.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Mustafi and Sanchez the scorers at the Emirates.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43Elsewhere, there were wins for Bournemouth, Burnley,
0:15:43 > 0:15:44leaders Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea
0:15:44 > 0:15:46and Manchester United.
