this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall, the headlines at 7pm: we can and will not make this certification. we will not continue down a path whose predictable conclusion is more violence. within minutes, the eu hit back at president trump — insisting the deal with iran is not his to break. it does not belong to any single country and it is not up to any single country to terminate it. the chancellor philip hammond says he regrets his poor choice of words after describing the eu's brexit negotiators as the enemy. more accusations of sexual assault have been made against the hollywood producer harvey weinstein. the us actress rose mcgowan is the latest star to publicly accuse him of rape. england's top doctor calls for an international to put more effort into stopping the over—use of antibiotics. and in the next hour — fanning the flames in california. fears that high winds this weekend could whip up

the wildfires that have killed 30 and left hundreds missing. and a fishy tale — the one that didn't get away. we hear from the angler who nearly choked on a dover sole that jumped down his throat. good evening and welcome to bbc news. us president donald trump in the last hour has said he wants to "adjust the flaws" in the iran deal that's supposed to stop the country developing nuclear weapons. and, in a statement at the white house, he said that if he can't get congress to agree, he's ready to terminate

the deal completely. providing relief from the intense pressure, the sanctions had created. it also gave the regime an immediate financial boost. and over $100 billion its government could use to fund terrorism. the regime also received a massive cash settlement of $1.7 billion from the united states. a large portion of which was physically loaded on to an aeroplane and flown into iran. just imagine the sight of those huge piles of money being hauled off by the iranians waiting a the airport for the cash. i wonder where all that money went? worst of all, the deal allows iran to continue developing certain elements of its nuclear

programme and importantly, injust a few years, as key restrictions disappear, iran can sprint towards a rapid nuclear weapons break—out. in other words, we got, weak inspections in exchange for no more than a purely short—term and temporary delay in iran's path to nuclear weapons. what is the purpose ofa nuclear weapons. what is the purpose of a deal that at best only delays iran's nuclear capability for a short period of time? that was president trump speaking within the last hour. britain, france and germany say they stand committed to the deal and are concerned by president trump

president trump refusing to back it. they said, "the deal is in ourjoint national interest." they aren couraging the us administration and congress to take into consideration the implication of that decision." earlier, within minutes of the president's speech the eu's foreign policy chief spoke out against his threat to scrap the deal saying it wasn't his to terminate. she said the mully lateral agreement had been welcomed by the whole international community. it is not a by lateral agreement. it does not belong to any single country and it is not up to any single country to determinate it. terminate it. it was unanimously endorsed by the united nations security council resolution 2231. it is a robust deal that provides guarantees and a strong monitoring mechanism so iran's

nuclear programme is and will remain exclusively for civilian purposes only. we cannot afford, as international community, as europe for sure, to dismantle a fuke collar agreement that is working and delivering especially now. the international atonic agency has verified eight times that iran is implementing all its nuclear related commitments following a comprehensive and strict monitoring system. there have been no violations of any of the commitments included in the agreement. let's take a look at some of the details of the deal, under which iran restricted its nuclear activities in exchange for an easing of sanctions. pushed through by president 0bama, iran signed a landmark agreement with six powers — the us, the uk, france, china, russia and germany — injuly 2015, marking the end of 12 years of on—off negotiations. under the deal, iran agreed to reduce its stockpile

of enriched uranium, used to make nuclear weapons by 98%. as well as drastically cutting its nuclear research and development facilities. in return, tough trade sanctions imposed by the un, us and the eu were eased and more than £75 billion in iranian assets frozen overseas were released. when the deal was announced in vienna, president 0bama hailed it as "one more chapter in our pursuit of a safer, more helpful and more hopeful world" and said it would stop iran developing a nuclear bomb. but president trump has condemned it as "one of the most incompetently drawn deals" he'd ever seen. "we got nothing," he said. let's talk to our chief international correspondent lyse doucet. quickly look at the american situation. he has got congress to convince? there was one view this will be a heavier cake and eat it too. that president trump can keep

his election promise, that he would rip up the iran deal. a deal he said was the greatest embarrassment, was a very one—sided deal with the murderous regime of iran and then he would kick it down the road to congress, but what we have heard todayis congress, but what we have heard today is that not that simply he wa nts to today is that not that simply he wants to do his bit and not certify, and that congress be the one to say well, we are still not going to impose sanctions, in other words we are not going to i will can kill the deal. president trump suggested if they don't re—open the state, secretary of state tillerson said that, they want to add on to the deal, they want to include things that weren't included ballistic missile programme which iran, which the un security council resolution said it was never part of the deal. they want to put greater restrictions on iran so they won't develop a nuclear weapon. they have sworn they will not develop a

nubbing cloor weapon. 0n sworn they will not develop a nubbing cloor weapon. on top of that, i think, nubbing cloor weapon. on top of that, ithink, much more nubbing cloor weapon. on top of that, i think, much more important than what, although what he said on the nuclear deal is important, was his broader strategy. he started with the broader strategy about the nuclear deal which is to impose greater sanctions against the revolutionary guards to take more action to say curb iran's behaviour in the rejn. that's president trump's main concern. that is the main concern of those who will back him today israel, saudi arabia, the emirates, bahrain and it is a concern of the rest of the world as well, but they think that is not the right way to go about it. russia is also saying it has a key role in trying to hold it all together? also saying it has a key role in trying to hold it all together7m was extraordinary to watch. week in and week out, month after month the nuclear negotiations where we would sit there, day in and day out, the russian foreign minister would walk by, the german, the chinese, the american, the british, all of those

major world powers, all the permanent members of the un security council's, foreign ministers cleared their diaries and spent every waking minute and indeed the there are many more waking than sleeping moments on a deal which mattered. it was when it was signed hailed as the greatest achievement for diplomacy in a quarter of a century, the most important non proliferation agreement, not perfect. the iranians wa nted agreement, not perfect. the iranians wanted things they didn't get. the russians are saying this is not your deal america. they will try to save the deal, the big question is without the united states fully committed can you save it? france, britain and germany, more statements coming out from them saying they expect iran to commit to dialogue to seek negotiated solutions. are they not happy with the way tehran is behaving? the nuclear deal was under

aun behaving? the nuclear deal was under a un security council resolution we re a un security council resolution were world powers were mandated to discuss the nuclear deal and only that. during the negotiations we would say did you talk about syria? no, we are only discussing nuclear. the deal was meant to open up new channels of negotiations about ballistic missiles, iran's behaviour in the region, iran's support for shi'ite militia ins iraq and syria which has caused concern in many capitals, the way the allies will look at this and president trump referred to his allies horks, you he had consulted his allies, when the allies look at the map of the middle east, when they look at yemen, they don't think what iran is doing. when they look at syria and iraq and the main threat there for the united states is islamic state. now, president trump is saying the list

has changed, the main global list is iran and islamic state second. not eve ryo ne iran and islamic state second. not everyone will agree him on that. thank you very much. let's speak to a lecturer in iranian history at the university of manchester. thank you very much forjoining us. let's cast our mind back first of all if we can, at what point in recent teumtion have there been good relations between tehran and washington? well, the relationship between tehran and washington has been very poorfor between tehran and washington has been very poor for the best part of the past four decades. there was an u pta ke the past four decades. there was an uptake at the beginning of the rahane presidents when when there was the famous phone call between president 0bama and rahane took place in 2013, but i think it is safe to say now that it was a

question of personalities, aligning and the willingness of the then white house to establish dialogue with iran. this has not really survived the 0bama administration and what we see today is donald trump pretty much disregarding what his european allies were saying regarding a nuclear deal and aligning himself with the hard—line approach that israel had ever since the nuclear deal was struck in 2015. we understand that president rahane is going to appear on television to react and respond to what president trump has been saying very soon. how will tehran position itself in reaction to what we've heard from washington? i think tehran will claim the moral high ground. it will say that it has stet fastly stuck to the details of the deal. the international atomic agency has repeatedly certified that. no

european side has claimed that iran is reneging on it and it will claim that it is reneging on it and it will claim thatitis is reneging on it and it will claim that it is simply not the one that is putting the deal in peril and all this attitude by trump is unwarranted. so, iran will try hard to drive a wedge between the rest of the five plus one group, russia and china and the three european countries and the united states and claim that they should stick to the deal as it is and no form of revision is necessary. what are iran's options in how it can respond diplomatically or strategically? iran has a range of options that it can lean upon. they range from a robust diplomatic initiative, intended to secure the continued approval of the rest of the five plus one nations to the deal as it is. through to acting for

example on the persian gulf, acting on american military naval activities in the persian gulf and possibly carrying on this sort of conflict or skirmishes and attrition that we can see between the two sides in the persian gulf from time to time. kwonned that iran could carry on with the missile tests which have proven to be controversial. iran has a range of options and i think iran has been preparing this. this has been coming. it will not be seen as a surprise in tehran that trump has hardened his attitude to the extent, but at the same time, i think the response will be measured and iran will not want to put the relationship with the european countries in peril. thank you very much for talking to

us thank you very much for talking to us this evening. donald trump condemned iran as a fanatical regime and refused to continue certifying an international nuclear deal. britain, fans and germany responded by saying the preservation of the deal is in our joint national interests and asks the us to think before taking measures such the us to think before taking measures such as the us to think before taking measures such as reimposing sanctions. philip hammond says he regrets his poor choice of words after describing the eu ace brexit negotiators as the enemy. the chancellor philip hammond says he regrets his poor choice of words after describing the eu brexit negotiators as "the enemy" and "the opponents" during an interview today. speaking in washington, where he's attending a meeting of the international monetary fund, mr hammond described accusations that he is talking down the economy over brexit as i. - from washington, here's our economics editor kamal ahmed. a man under pressure.

challenged on brexit, challenged on the performance of the economy and briefings there is a split with number ten. but today, an upbeat tone from the chancellor. philip hammond, calling allegations he is just too gloomy bizarre and absurd. i asked him first about lord lawson's claim of sabotage. lord lawson is entitled to his view on this and many other subjects. he isn't afraid to express it, but i think he's wrong. what i'm doing here in washington is talking britain up, talking about britain's future as a champion of free trade in the global economy. what is the brexit process effect on the economy in the uk? we always knew that the process of negotiation was going to create some uncertainty. that is undoubtedly true. if you talk to businesses, they would like us to get it done quickly. but they are not getting that? the prime minister at florence, just a few weeks ago, made a very bold and clear proposal to the european union.

she has made that offer and it is for the european union now to respond. he called the eu the opponents, the enemy. later, taking to twitter to apologise for a poor choice of words. in europe, the talk is still of the divorce bill, the rights of citizens and ireland. if you are sitting in a bar and if you are ordering 28 beers, some of your colleagues are leaving, that is ok. that's not feasible. they have to pay. i met the new french finance minister who said he wanted a good deal, but there was a need for patience. progress is not enough to move to the next stage. but there has been some progress. you know our will is not to have a hard brexit or a soft brexit, it is to get a fair brexit which would be in the interests of

both the uk and european countries. philip hammond is here amongst some of the most powerful people in politics and economics, and a change of tone. he says he's not here to talk down britain, he says, to worry about britain but to talk up the country's prospects. but he knows brexit is not the only problem he is facing. next month he will have the budget next month and the problem of the british economy. obviously a downgrade of productivity forecast is disappointing, but it is only one of the moving parts. the 0br is an independent body, it will produce a comprehensive report on the economy and the fiscal position before the budget. we'll need to look at the whole picture and respond to that. they are packing up at the imf tonight and mr hammond heads back to london to face his critics. he's optimistic he says, but he knows his last few days in america have been anything but smooth. let's speak to our political correspondent leila nathoo who joins

us from westminster. a rowing back. how accidental was the choice of those words? well, i think philip hammond clearly recognised that such language talking about then me on the other side sitting over there in brussels was likely to be perceived as extremely inflammatory coming from a chancellor at this delicate point in the negotiations. it sounded like he went a little bit too far in his comments there. he said on twitter as you heard that he greted his choice of words. he did say them in the context of talking about cabinet unity. he has been trying to fend—off accusations from brexiteers in his own party that he is somehow

doom mongering. so i think philip hammond did sort of miss speak if you like. i don't think he intended to be that aggressive towards the brussels side, but clearly, a bit of a big slip—up there coming from the chancellor at this point in the negotiations, but his argument is that he is merely trying to pressure brussels on to get the talks going, by saying look, all this uncertainty is going down badly with business. he is trying to add on the pressure if you like to brussels to say look, we need to get going on discussing our future relationship and we need to get going on discussing ourfuture relationship and notjust dealing with divorce matters, the citizens rights, the bill and the irish border. he wants to get those talks going and he is trying to present a united front amid the cabinet squabbling have has been going on, that's real, but now, the incentive is to get the trade talks moving and brussels really saying no, there is still not, not yet

enough progress, the hope was the talks would be able to move on next week at a summit of eu leaders, but it is now looking highly unlikely that they will agree so that, so it is looking like december at the earliest and that's of great concern to the chancellor. thank you. an islamic school in birmingham has been found guilty of sex discrimination for segregating boys from girls in lessons, during break — even in corridors — from the age of ten. in a landmark ruling, the court of appeal said the policy at the al—hijrah school was unlawful. the ruling could affect around 20 other schools with similar segregation policies. sima kotecha reports. al—hij rah, a school for four to 16—year—olds, a school that caters for muslim students. now, the court of appeal has ruled its segregation policy is unlawful sex discrimination. but many of the parents here do not think there is anything wrong with separating boys and girls. if being in a gender specific school is going to impact on being part of british society, why do they exist?

should all gender specific schools be closed ? i do not believe the school is making pupils breathe different oxygen based on their gender, and i believe that islam has a lot for society. i don't believe that rampant western liberalism has done a great deal for gender equality, for the family unit and social cohesion. last year the school was put in special measures after inspectors said it was discriminatory, but then a high court judge overruled the decision, calling it erroneous. today three appeal judges said segregation meant less favourable treatment for both male and female pupils. they start segregating pupils here when they reach the age of nine. the lawyers at 0fsted had argued that by doing that the girls were left unprepared for life in modern—day britain. boys and girls were losing out because the way segregation was applied meant they did not get the opportunities to learn and socialise. they were not properly prepared

for the next stage of education. the students are separated during lessons, brakes, the students are separated during lessons, breaks, school clubs and trips. this school had been inspected many times in recent years and various issues emerged, but never had 0fsted, until june 2016, raised gender segregation as an issue. so what had suddenly changed, we ask ourselves? this ruling is likely to have an impact on other schools that also have a segregation policy. in a letter, al—hijrah has told parents it will not be making any immediate changes. the american actress rose mcgowan has become the latest woman to make accusations of rape against the hollywood producer harvey weinstein. she says she repeatedly told the boss of amazon studios, who worked with weinstein, that she'd been raped, but he'd done nothing about it. mr weinstein denies the allegations. 0ur north america correspondent

nick bryant reports. harvey weinstein‘s star has plummeted, brought down by some of the biggest female names in the movie industry, who have accused him of harassment and worse. actress rose mcgowan has said she was raped by the film producer in a growing scandal that has now affected one of the world's biggest companies, amazon. in a series of tweets to the company's chief executive, mcgowan said, "i told the head of your studio that he raped me. over and over again i said it. he said it hadn't been proven. i said i was the proof". the amazon head of studio in question is facing an accusation from a female producer that he legally propositioned her in 2015. in a statement, amazon said he was on leave of absence effective immediately. "we are reviewing their options for the projects they have with the weinstein company".

in new york, one of america's banks, goldman sachs, said it was considering options for its stake in the weinstein company, whose headquarters is near wall street. on sunday, the company sacked its co—founder. the weinstein name has long been a hallmark of quality in the entertainment industry, but in the past week it has been trashed. creative partners are trying to pull out of projects with what is left of the weinstein company. it has been likened to a run on a bank. the oscar—winning director oliver stone initially said that weinstein should not be judged prematurely. if he broke the law, it'll come out, there will be a trial. i believe a man should not be condemned by a vigilante system. but later on facebook he said, "after looking at what has been reported in many publications in the last couple of days, i am appalled and i commend the courage of the women who have stepped forward. i will therefore recuse myself from the guantanamo series as long as the weinstein company is involved". long—time politicalfriends are now

distancing themselves from this big dollar democratic fundraiser, too, hillary clinton here speaking with andrew marr. it was just disgusting and the stories that have come out are heartbreaking. and i really commend the women who have been willing to step forward now and tell their stories. but i think it'is important that we not just focus on him and whatever consequences flow from these stories about his behaviour, but that we recognise this kind of behaviour cannot be tolerated anywhere. the show must go on is the motto of the entertainment industry. it was lights, camera, action at this movie premiere in new york last night, but many women like the british actress carey mulligan, hope this will be a watershed moment in what is a male dominated business. it starts with women having opportunities behind the camera, and then in front of the camera, and then in the boardroom and it

all comes down to money. so i think it is about the industry catching up with the idea that you can put a woman in a female role and make a fortune. harvey weinstein has denied any allegations of nonconsensual sex. he is now believed to be in a rehab clinic in arizona. i am not doing ok, but i'm trying. i've got to get help. an iraqi teenager has been ordered to stand trial in march over the parsons green tube terror attack last month which left 30 injured. 18—year—old ahmed hassan mohammed ali from surrey appeared in court via video—link from belmarsh prison on two counts of attempted murder and of using an explosive to endanger life. the taxi service uber has filed an appeal against a decision by transport for london not to renew its licence to operate in the capital. last month, tfl refused uber a new private hire licence, saying the company was not "fit and proper". the appeal process could take months, during which time uber can

continue to operate in london. an angler who accidentally swallowed a fish he'd just caught says he's lucky to be alive after he collapsed and stopped breathing. sam quilliam was trying to celebrate his catch by kissing the dover sole! but it wriggled out of his hand and jumped into his throat. chi chi izundu reports. thankfully, this fish is larger than the one sam quilliam caught. his friends had jokingly referred to his catch as a postage stamp. size didn't matter. sam still wanted to kiss his dover sole with pride. but the fish was not up for that kiss. it wriggled free and jumped straight down his throat,

blocking his airway. i'm all right. just a bit shaken up by it all, really. you just don't expect it to happen. people do things like this all the time. you don't expect it to happen to you. his friends noticed his panicked and started to give him cpr. i turned my back, before i knew it he was choking. he got halfway down the pier and collapsed. by that point i was already on the phone to emergency services. paramedics were finishing a job around the corner before they got the call. after 17 years of doing this job, i've never seen anything like it, i've never seen a foreign body quite like that. with small forceps, it took six attempts to get the fish out, which did come out whole. once they got his heart going again, he was rushed to hospital. but he is not the only fishermen that could be caught in this danger. apparently, there is a tradition among fishermen that when they get their catch they give it a quick kiss before they throw it back in the sea. sam says the whole incident has not put him off and he will be back here soon with his friends, fishing as soon as he gets the sign off from doctors.

so, will sam be kissing his catch any time soon? probably, yeah. just a bit bigger, and not a sole. no talk of slippery characters. here is tomasz schafernaker with the weather. there will be warm weather around across england and wales during saturday, sunday and monday. it is very mild out there right now with some rain. we have had a lot of rain in the north—west in the last few days, but we are watchen an ex—— watching an ex—hurricane out there. that could be approaching us during monday. in the short—term, nothing too stormy. saturday is looking fine. there will be bright spells and temperatures into the 20s, and

possibly in the south 17 for newcastle and they may peak depending on how much sunshine we get a lot of the forecasts are suggesting cloudy skies, but if the clouds break and we get some of the sunshine, i wouldn't be surprised if on sunday and monday the temperatures get up to 2a celsius, but stormy across the west. hello. this is bbc news with martine croxall. the headlines: president trump has refused to certify the international nuclear deal teheran signed in 2015, but has stopped short of pulling out of it. we cannot and will not make this certification. we will not continue down a path whose predictable conclusion is more violence. britain, france and germany say they stand committed to the iran nuclear deal and are concerned by the possible implications of donald trump's refusal to back it.

philip hammond says he regrets describing eu negotiators as the enemy during an interview about brexit. at least 31 people are known to have died and hundreds are still missing in what are now the most deadly fires in california's history. the chief medical officer for england has called for goverments around the world to put more effort into stopping the overuse of antibiotics. england's chief medical officer has called on governments around the world to put more effort into stopping the over—use of antibiotics. professor dame sally davies is warning of a growing threat of resistance, and that if antibiotics lose their effectiveness, it could "spell the end of modern medicine", making procedures such as caesarean sections and some cancer treatments more difficult. adina campbell reports. with infectious diseases becoming increasingly difficult to treat, the fight against bacteria is essential. for decades we've relied on antibiotics to prevent and treat infection,

the bedrock of modern medicine. but now there's a new warning that the drugs we often turn to to protect us could become less effective due to drug—resista nt infections. well, what we want is patients to recognise that if they have flu or common colds, viruses, antibiotics are absolutely no use. so, please, if a doctor says, "it's a virus, you don't need an antibiotic," listen to them and don't push them for something that's not going to make a difference to you, but could make it much more risky as medicine goes forward for your children and your grandchildren. it's estimated 700,000 people around the world die every year from drug—resistant infections such as tuberculosis, hiv, and malaria. without antibiotics, it's feared common medical procedures, such as caesarean sections, cancer treatments and hip replacements,

would become too risky. the uk government and the wellcome trust, a global charity that supports scientists and researchers, have now organised a meeting of health experts around the world. it's as a new project has been announced to map the spread of death and disease caused by superbugs. if no action is taken, it's estimated that drug—resistant infections will kill 10 million people every year by 2050. adina campbell, bbc news. we can speak to the president of the royal pharmaceutical society, who joins us from croydon. thank you for joining us this evening. how alarmist is the chief medical 0fficer —— chief medical officer for england's warning? not at all. we

really are at that point of crisis. if you look at the uk risk register, number one is terrorism, and number two is antimicrobial resistance. the who have issued a statement saying that if we do not protect the antibiotics we have today, we run a real risk that we will run into a mass of emergency. what are the cases where we have seen that this is becoming apparent? we've seen this in cases where we know, in certain parts of italy, bone marrow transplants aren't carried out because there are no antibiotics that will work. there was case of a woman in nevada who died because there was no antibiotic that could treat her. some infections are becoming much more difficult to treat, and we're having to use stronger and stronger antibiotics to treat them, and eventually they will stop working. is it localised? in certain parts of the world, certain

antibiotics don't work for certain things? bacteria are not specific in saying, i live in italy, germany or whatever. given the travel that most of us now do, where we visit many countries, the likelihood is that we will bring a superbug back with us, so will bring a superbug back with us, so it's not a problem of one country but of the globe. so it's no good one or two countries acting on their own, but how feasible is a truly global effort? that is the challenge that sally davies has laid down today. this is a global problem, and we can all do something to help. it is easy to say that it's someone else's problem and let them deal with it. we have to deal with it ourselves as well. reducing the use of antibiotics will help us reduce that risk. thank you very much. of the 774 million adults who still

can't read, two thirds of them, 493 million, are women. literacy is transformative million, are women. literacy is tra nsformative and can million, are women. literacy is transformative and can increase employment opportunities, health outcomes, reduce inequality and break the cycle of poverty. 0n the final day of week two, for the bbc‘s 100 women challenge 2017, our reporter divya ayra reveals what some of india's best experts in the field of education have come up with as possible solutions to female illiteracy finally, we are at the culmination of the second of the 100 women challenges — trying to find a solution to female illiteracy. 0ur experts have been hard at work and have come up with two solutions which we are revealing here, in a slum school in new delhi, the capital of india. this e—book uses illustrations as aids to words. the

idea is that the semiliterate person can have better comprehension. to find out how effective this is, we have met the mother of bollywood superstar. she has spent the week with us, and we have just revealed the solution to her, and we will ask what she thought. but we all know that technology and internet access is limited in our country, even though it is growing, so country, even though it is growing, so there is another solution the experts came up with, and that is the medium of street theatre, which these children are rehearsing. they have developed a place where a

father and daughter have a dialogue. they see a puppet show and a butterfly, and the daughter says she feels her life is like that of a puppet but she wants it to be like that of a butterfly, and she explains to her father that, that of a butterfly, and she explains to herfather that, for that, he needs to get her education, just like for her brother, and he agrees. that solution of using street theatre was shown to this young girl who has had intermittent access to education. she is shy, and i think she has opened up in the week she has spent with us. she is saying that unlike learning from books, learning by rote, this is interactive, easy to

understand and remember. female illiteracy can be reduced across the world, not just illiteracy can be reduced across the world, notjust in india, and these solutions will lead to more ideas in the future. at least 31 people are known to have died and hundreds are missing in the most deadly fires in california's history. thousands of fires are dealing with fires covering more than 300 square miles. richard lister reports. day five of the most lethal wildfires in california's history. at least 30 dead, more than 400 missing, almost 200,000 acres destroyed. whole communities erased — like this. the images are apocalyptic. comfortable neighbourhoods reduced to rubble and silence. all that remains in this part of santa rosa are ash—filled swimming pools and the charred wreckage of cars parked day five of the most lethal

wildfires in california's history. all that remains in this part of santa rosa are ash—filled swimming pools and the charred wreckage of cars parked in double garages, all now consumed by the flames. the destruction continues for street after street. pepe tomayo almost didn't escape. a rescue helicopter took his family, but there was no room for him. he was holding jesse up and he didn't want to leave his dad. i could hear him yelling, no, get in, it will be ok. it took two more trips to find pepe. it was ugly, it was close. it was really close. i called my daughter and told her, mika, if i don't see you again, remember i love you. at least 20 fires are still raging. 8000 firefighters are working around the clock to contain them. evacuation orders are in place and there's a strong message for those who ignore them. your choice to stay, and there have been very few of them, is a distraction to ourfirst responders.

you will not be given life safety support at this point. you are on your own. this is what awaits anyone hoping to ride it out, a hellish inferno consuming everything in its path, filling the air with choking black smoke. most did get out in time. but recovery teams are still searching the rubble for those who simply can't be found. many of those killed are said to have been elderly people, for whom escape was more difficult. after an unusually hot summer, california is a tinderbox and more high winds are expected this weekend, leaving more neighbourhoods wondering whether they too will end up like this. richard lister, bbc news. a high court judge a high courtjudge has ruled that the remains of moors murderer ian brady must be disposed of with no

ceremony and no music. brady and myra hindley, who died in prison in 2002, tortured and murdered by children in the 1960s. now it's time for newswatch with samira ahmed. this week, the choice of a lead story for the news at ten comes under scrutiny. hello, welcome to newswatch with me samira ahmed. this week's special report about heroin abuse made for hard—hitting viewing — but was it right for it to lead and dominate the news at ten? and this crash in london last saturday turned out not to be a terrorist attack, as was first feared. so was the news channel right to spend an hour and a half non—stop reporting on it? first, recent news reports have featured allegations of sexual abuse in areas such as politics, sport, and broadcasting — and now it's hollywood that faces the unwelcome headlines,

in the person of harvey weinstein. the film producer, who denies the charges, has been accused of a number of assaults, and of rape, and bbc news has covered the case extensively all week. with allegations of abuse against sir edward heath and cyril smith also in the news this week, neville dalton felt: "news reports are rapidly turning into ‘sewer news' in which broadcasters are taking a disproportionate and very unhealthy interest." hazel murie wanted to know: "why is this deemed worthy of endless coverage on your news broadcasts, and why must i endure the lurid details of this person's revolting perversions? i think the bbc needs to consider very carefully, both what you cover on the news but also how much detail it has been your top story for days now.
