time now for a story about a friendship that travelled further than hogwarts. harry potter star daniel radcliffe and his stunt double david holmes became close while working on the films together. and when david broke his neck during a stunt, they formed a lifelong bond, which is explored in a new documentary. lizo mzimba has been speaking to them both. my first day's work was being the world's first quidditch player. we put a broomstick on the back of a truck and drove it down the runway at leavesden studios with chris columbus looking down a camera lens, whooping and hollering, saying, "yes, i think this is how we're going to do quidditch." the teenage david holmes became daniel radcliffe's stand—in for the movies, doing stunts deemed too risky for the film's young star. but in 2009, while rehearsing for the seventh film, david was badly injured and permanently paralysed from the chest downwards. he's now the subject of a documentary about his life

after the accident. how did it feel reflecting on the last ten, 15 years? ijust want to be honest, you know. and honestly, yeah, living with a broken neck is hard. but i've said before, breaking my neck made a man of me. and looking back, i'm very grateful that i've managed to retain my sense of self. the documentary details how he's found such positivity, thanks to his strong personality and a close group of friends surrounding him, a group that includes daniel radcliffe. how close are you and dan? he was like my little brother on the films, and then grew to be one of my best friends, you know? and we still talk like, on a regular, you know, whether it's me sending him house plants for him moving into a new place, or making playlists for him for when he's unpacking boxes, and he does the same for me. he's always been there for me, and i've always been there for him. dave still is one of the most

important people in my life, as he...as he has been for the last like, 20 years. he was somebody that was so incredibly fun to hang out with when i was young, but then, as i grew up, became like, a real guide to me and kind of a mentor and someone who really looked out for me. and that really has sort ofjust continued as we've grown up. as well as appearing in the documentary, radcliffe was the person who instigated the project and is an executive producer on the production. dave is, has always been an extraordinary person, before and after the accident. i want people to get to know my friend because he's like, he's so much fun. he's so funny, he's so smart, he's so kind and so generous, and just like, an amazing person to be around. that's why i have wanted to, like, share dave with the world for, for so long. how important is it that a project

like this focuses on the person, not the disability? well, in life, you're either a victim or a survivor, right? i choose to be a survivor. and if that has a knock—on effect for other people that are living with any hardships in life, then that's got to be a positive thing. right now, the world's not the nicest of places to live in, and spreading positive stories is only a good thing, right? the documentary also shows how david works to help others. every year, a fundraising cricket match is held to raise money for charity and for hospitals. you must be really proud that you've helped raise tens of thousands of pounds? wonderful thing, right? like a silver lining on a very dark cloud. and to give back has always been important to me, and to highlight the heroes that work in the nhs is something that we've been able to do on this project and i'm really, really proud of that.

the documentary, a programme that david hasn't yet watched, is also stark about the fact that his health is slowly deteriorating. there will be a time in my life i'll probably get in a bed and won't get out of it. so i would like to watch the film then, so i can look back and reflect on myself, with all the hope and optimism that i feel like i've got in me now. dave, thank you so, so much. mate, it's been a pleasure. let's end this edition of news now as we began it, with a bit of a bang. i'm referring of course to the ceremonial gun salutes, fired in the uk, in honour of king charles' 75th birthday. he's spending the day carrying out royal duties as normal, but we're told he will be getting a transatlantic birthday phone call from his younger son, prince harry. with the details here's our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. a gun salute in london's green park, to mark the king's 75th birthday. a further milestone

in the year of his coronation. but the celebrations are deliberately low—key. yesterday at highgrove, his home in gloucestershire, hejoined others, individuals and members of organisations who are marking their 75th anniversaries, among whom were representatives of the windrush generation. # happy birthday to you... # the king cut a rather grand birthday cake for distribution to the guests. "let no food be wasted", that is the royal command, as the king launches his birthday initiative, the coronation food project. i'll get a pallet from the chiller, yeah? every single day, as the king has seen himself, many tonnes of food from britain's retailers potentially go to waste. the king's initiative is to set up distribution centres to close the gap between food waste and food need. under his leadership, i'm seeing

the food industry come together, retailers and manufacturers, putting aside their competitive differences to focus on both reducing waste, but also increasing the amount of product is circulated amongst the charities. so, a birthday with all the customary trappings, but which the king hopes will yield practical benefits. nicholas witchell, bbc news. a working day for king charles on his 75th birthday, but we understand he will celebrate this milestone later on privately with his family and friends. as i mentioned, he is expecting a call from the duke of sussex, from prince harry, we understand, a little later. sussex, from prince harry, we understand, a little later. stay with us here on bbc news.

hello there. good afternoon. it's very mild at the moment for this point in november. you can see the mild air marked in yellow on our air mass chart here, but that mild air clears away to be replaced by something cooler as we head through the next couple of days. then the mild air makes another return, with some very unsettled conditions as we head into the weekend. into the start of next week we draw in more of a northerly wind, so again the map likely to turn bluer. this is the pressure chart for today. you can see those heavy, thundery showers clearing away gradually from the south coast of england. it's been a very wet start to the day here, but still possibly some more showers lingering on for a time through the afternoon. scattered showers, sunny spells developing from the west across much of england and wales, it does stay quite blustery here, particularly towards the south coast. scattered showers, sunny spells for northern ireland. more cloud, outbreaks of rain across much of scotland but perhaps some brighter skies towards the far north. temperatures a little lower for most than they were yesterday.

through this evening and overnight, again the cloud, the rain continues across much of scotland. some clear skies perhaps to the far north here, maybe a touch of frost in sheltered glens for tomorrow morning. largely dry further south across much of england and wales. you can see on tuesday night into wednesday the area of low pressure clears away into the north sea once again. so these weather fronts starting to slip a little further southwards and weakening, perhaps some showery outbreaks of rain across parts of northern ireland, stretching down into lincolnshire as we head through the afternoon, but a ridge of high pressure building in from the south and the west, so much of england and wales should stay dry, feeling a little cooler, there will be quite a lot of sunshine around with lighter winds. so maybe a more widespread frost on wednesday night into thursday for certainly a few spots, and then weather fronts push in from the south and west as we head through thursday morning. there is still a lot of uncertainty particularly regarding this rain towards the south, but it's quite likely that we're all going to be seeing some wet and some windy weather as the day wears on.

temperatures are lower than they have been, high single figures in scotland, 11 to 13 celsius further south, but we are going to start to draw in that milder air again as we see this deep area of low pressure approach from the south—west, so turning wetter and windier with perhaps coastal gales by the end of the day on friday. bye—bye for now.

live from london, this is bbc news. the head of gaza's biggest hospital says a mass grave is being dug there as it runs out of fuel. israel says it's co—ordinating the transfer of incubators to gaza, but it's unclear whether hospitals will have enough power to use the extra equipment. a secret report by london's met police and uncovered by the bbc claims a senior officer involved in the stephen lawrence murder case was corrupt. the boss of mcdonald's in the uk tells mps the company has fired 18 workers following a bbc investigation into its workplace culture. and a royal gun salute to mark the 75th birthday of king charles.
