The British government will "test to the limit" a new law designed to force it to seek an extension to the Brexit deadline if a deal is not reached by 19 October. We have an explainer on the latest developments. The funeral of the former President of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, will take place over this coming weekend, but there seems to be some disagreement between the family and the government over where he should be buried. And the man who ran across America tells us why he's published a book to help children deal with rejection.
