Yahoo News The 8 things you might have missed this weekend
Boris Johnson has warned of a cabinet mutiny over Theresa May's Brexit plans, the world has come together to mark the centenary of the Armistice, and the California fires are on track to become the deadliest in the state's history.
Meanwhile Man City convincingly beat rivals Man Utd and England narrowly lost to New Zealand at Twickenham.
If you've been away from a screen or newspaper all weekend or want a summary, here's a quick recap of the main events.
1. Boris Johnson calls for Cabinet mutiny
Theresa May's Brexit plans will force Britain to "remain in captivity", Boris Johnson has warned as he says the Cabinet should stage a mutiny.
Writing in The Telegraph, the former foreign secretary says the Prime Minister is "on the verge of total surrender" to Brussels and says her plans are a "recipe for continued strife".
Urging people to "savour the full horror of this capitulation", he says Mrs May's plans for a customs union backstop are "shameful" and cannot be "conceivably" supported by any of her Cabinet.
It came as Eurosceptic Cabinet ministers warned Mrs May she will "feed the narrative of betrayal" and be defeated in Parliament if the UK is "trapped" in a customs union after Brexit.
Over the weekend the EU rejected the Prime Minister's plan for an "independent mechanism" that would enable Britain to break off temporary customs arrangements with Brussels after Brexit.
2. Macron's dig at Trump as world marks Armistice centenary
The Queen and President of Germany heard prayers for a time of "harmony" during a service at Westminster Abbey marking the centenary of the Armistice.
President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and the Queen were joined by the Prime Minister, the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for the remembrance service.
The service was one of many events worldwide marking 100 years since the end of World War 1. In France, Emmanuel Macron, the French president, said the grim weather was fitting for an occasion that was not a celebration of victory but a ceremony marking the end of four years of horrific bloodshed.
Donald Trump, the US president, who has tweeted days earlier that he was in France to "celebrate the end of World War One, was criticised the previous day for cancelling a scheduled visit to a US military cemetery because of rain.
Mr Macron delivered a politically-charged speech warning of the dangers of rising nationalism and praising the European Union and the United Nations for their contribution to peace. “Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism," he said. “Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism.”
Mr Trump, who has proudly declared himself a nationalist, sat stony-faced.
3. Death toll in California fires rises to 31
The number of dead in a wildfire raging in California has risen to 29, matching the deadliest in the state's history as recovery teams found six more bodies in the grim search through the wreckage.
The "Camp Fire" is the largest and most destructive of several infernos that have sent 250,000 people fleeing their homes across the tinder-dry state, razing 6,400 homes in the town of Paradise and effectively wiping it off the map.
"Today, an additional six human remains were recovered, which brings our current total to 29," Sheriff Kory Honea told a news conference at the end of the fourth day in the struggle to contain the blaze, adding that all were found in Paradise.
In fire zones in north and south California - where a total of at least 31 people have died - acrid smoke blanketed the sky for miles, the sun barely visible. On the ground, cars caught in the flames were reduced to mangled metal carcasses, while power lines were gnawed by the flames.
At the southern end of the state, where the "Woolsey Fire" is threatening mansions and mobile homes alike in the coastal celebrity redoubt of Malibu, the death toll has been limited to two victims found in a vehicle on a private driveway.
4. Governor files lawsuits amid Florida recount
Florida Republican Governor Rick Scott, whose lead has narrowed in the state's U.S. Senate race, filed more lawsuits against local election officials on Sunday, asking a judge to order police to impound voting machines and ballots when they are not in use.
On Saturday, a machine recount began in the race between Scott and incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Bill Nelson in one of the most closely watched swing-state contests in last Tuesday's congressional elections.
Each side has accused the other of trying to subvert democracy in an echo of the drama in the 2000 presidential vote recount that unfolded for weeks in Florida.
By the time the U.S. Senate election recount was ordered, Scott's lead had shrunk to 12,500 votes, or 0.15 percent, below the threshold under which a machine recount is automatically triggered under state law.
5. 'Tax on age' considered to fix social care funding crisis
A new levy targeted at the over-40s is being considered by ministers to help solve the social care funding crisis.
Matt Hancock, the Health and Social Care Secretary, told the Telegraph he was “attracted to” a cross-party plan for a compulsory premium deducted from the earnings of the middle-aged and over-65s to fund the cost of their care in later life.
The proposals, set out by two Commons committees, are based on the system in Germany under which all workers over 40 pay 2.5 per cent of their wages into a pot formally earmarked for social care.
The plan also includes offering cash payouts to young and elderly adults receiving care, to enable them to pay carers, including family members.
6. Man City dominate in 3-1 derby win
With the Manchester derby over Pep Guardiola wrapped an arm around Raheem Sterling before upbraiding him out on the pitch. The Manchester City fans loved the step-overs in the dying seconds, the ‘oles’ gleefully rang around, but the manager did not. Not at all. There was no need to mock Manchester United in that way. The score-line, the dominance, the 12-point advantage in the Premier League, the condemning of eighth-placed United to a negative goal difference had done it already.
This was a Manchester mauling; a derby mis-match that confirmed the gap between these two sides. Yes, United were still in it until the 86th minute when substitute Ilkay Gundogan scored City’s third goal but the nature of it merely highlighted the gulf. There were 44 passes leading up to the goal and every City player was involved. United did not get close and, as with the two other goals they conceded, were at fault with Nemanja Matic failing to track Gundogan as he ran onto Bernardo Silva’s pass before stroking the ball home from close-range past a helpless David De Gea.

7. Furious Max Verstappen confronts 'idiot' Esteban Ocon
A furious Max Verstappen confronted Esteban Ocon after the two collided at the Brazilian Grand Prix.
Verstappen was leading the race and looked certain for victory when the Force India of Esteban Ocon tried to unlap himself in turns one and two.
Ocon was on fresher tyres and was keen to pass. He put a move down the outside of the Red Bull.
But leader Verstappen, most likely not expecting to be unlapped by the Frenchman, turned for the apex of the corner and the pair made contact, spinning them both and losing Verstappen first place. Lewis Hamilton profited from the crash, taking the lead and eventually the victory.
8. Heartbreak for England in 15-16 defeat to New Zealand
So close. So gut-wrenching. Yet also promising and uplifting even if England came up short. Eddie Jones implored his men to be directors of the movie, not bit-part extras.
The England head coach got what he wanted. It was the movie that Twickenham wanted, too, a thriller that could have been scripted by Alfred Hitchcock and even if it left them bereft when a hair-line call by TMO Marius Jonker denied them what looked to be a legitimate, match-winning score from Sam Underhill, they had great value for money.
The call went against Courtney Lawes for offside as he blocked a kick by TJ Perenara on the ten metre line. It looked a tight decision, too tight for the circumstances and England had every right to feel aggrieved.
