eyeballs today at 5pm, the husband and wife guilty of planning a terror attack in birmingham. the wife had bought a combat knife for the husband to use. she was found guilty today. experts say that case presents at new perspective. today. experts say that case presents at new perspectivem challenges what we think of our woman's role. the woman told bilic crown court she did not know what the knife was intended for. in barcelona, thousands demand independence from spain but the cata la n independence from spain but the catalan president refuses to call for new regional elections. 300,000 people leave theirjobs every year in the uk because of mental health issues. we will have the results of a new survey. 11 people arrested across the uk as pa rt 11 people arrested across the uk as part ofan 11 people arrested across the uk as part of an international operation against people smuggling.

more than half a century after president kennedy was assassinated in texas, the last secret files on his killing will be released. and poetry and poppies, the british legion spells out the remembrance bursts in locations across britain and northern france. our main story is that a woman who brought her husband a weapon that he planned to use in a terror attack in birmingham has been found guilty of preparing an act of terrorism. the woman had denied assisting her husband earlier this year. woolwich

crown court heard they had developed their plans and the woman had bought a combat knife and training dummy for her husband to use. dominic cassie arnie has the latest. a week after the westminster attack in march, this man wants to rampage in his home city. now convicted alongside his wife, who helped him and his sister, who went covered the planning via social media. he was obsessed with knives and replica guns and wanted to fight in syria. instead he turned his attention to home. his pregnant wife bought this combat knife on her credit card and he trained on this martial arts

dummy. finally he went to an outdoor shop to buy cod to create a hidden shoulder harness. the attack plan was not fully formed when he was arrested but he has admitted preparing an act of terrorism by researching targets in the city. it is one of seven world plots so far this year but detectives say he could not have planned it without his wife. i think it's sort of typical of the kinds of terrorist threat we're now seeing in the united kingdom — small groups of individuals, in this case family members, it could easily be friends, sharing very explicit extremist material, using apps downloaded from social media, inciting and encouraging each other to be able to carry out an attack, being inspired by other attacks they've seen in the united kingdom and abroad. taheer told her trial she'd become besotted at 17 with mirza, as she tried to escape her abusive father. she admitted she'd supported the self—styled islamic state group, claiming she had been brainwashed by her future husband. but prosecutors said her own words

from social media gave her away. as their wedding approached, taheer messaged her boyfriend, saying, "i want you to kill people for me, i have a list." mirza said, "on the day of the marriage, i will kill them all, give me the list." her reply... "you can't have it until you put a ring on it." radicalisation experts say her conviction is symptomatic of the new role that some women now play. in this particular case, what we've seen is a woman who seems to be in control, she's confident, she's not someone who is going to stand there, she's actively encouraging. so, i think that needs to be borne in mind in terms of a shift in gender roles that's also occurring, but the fact is, it also challenges our notion of what a woman's role within these movements has to be when we look at it in a broader global context. the jury concluded madihah taheer was no naive young woman. she was her husband's willing partner in crime. she had wanted a hero

like the painting she placed on her facebook profile, and she found him, and now they both face jail. joining me now from our westminster studio is joana cook, an expert on women in violent extremism, at the international centre for the study of radicalisation and political violence at king's college london. what does this case highlights for you? it represent a trend we've seen with women involved with violent extremism for a while. women have played diverse roles in the past. they have been anything from perpetrators, supporters, facilitators, and we have seen them play roles like this. in marriages, as well. we only have to look at the jamaica saint case to recognise that couples have played these roles before. —— junaid hussain.

couples have played these roles before. ——junaid hussain. there was another case in san bernardino. the marital unit has been one way for women to participate in organisations like this. i wouldn't suggest this is anything unique. we've seen women participate either through marriage or other roles in other terrorist groups throughout history, as well. unique, as you say, but are you able to say, based on your expert analysis of these cases, that we are seeing more cases where women are playing a more assertive role in plotting of this kind, but they are less deferential as the traditional narrative would have it, but they are taking less of a second every role? i would say a couple of things in relation to this. if we look at the deep radicalisation programme in the uk, it was only around 10% of women that we re it was only around 10% of women that were participants going through this. we've seen this number go up

to 30, a0%. there has been an increased trend of the number of women at risk of radicalisation. i'd keepin women at risk of radicalisation. i'd keep in mind that this is considering right—wing organisations, as well, including islamic extremism, as well. the other thing i would say is that one thing that has been very distinct by the so—called islamic state is their role online. that opened up an entirely new area where women can participate and be more assertive, where in organisations earlier they have been restricted from these roles. when we look at how these terror organisations, are they taking a deliberate strategy to get more women involved in their activity than they would have done in the past? this has been something distinct with the islamic state which we have seen. in their publication since 2014 they've reached out to women. they've been prescriptive of the roles they have had for women encouraging them to be

supported —— supportive of their husbands. focusing on the domestic side, and the nonviolent roles. but we've seen indications that there is a shift in this posture. we only have to look at the recent plot that was interrupted in notre dame. there was interrupted in notre dame. there was a female cell. there have been cases in iraq and kenya where we have seen women attempt to take up more violent roles, as well. as for the prescribed roles the women have had, the so—called islamic state has tried to restrict these nonviolent roles, but i think there is an indication that this is being restricted. around 300,000 people in the uk leave theirjobs every year because of insufficient support for mental health problems — that's the finding of a review commissioned by the government. the government has said two of the country's biggest employers — the nhs and civil service — will adopt the review‘s

recommendations. our health correspondent rob sissons has more details. at this insurance company, they're proud of their record supporting workers. today's report recommends more places should be like this. aviva in sheffield said it has tried to change the way people think about mental health, training managers and encouraging openness. james tringham was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, something the firm was aware of when they took him on. i was terrified. i had to be coaxed in and the support team that were training me at that stage weren't sure if i would make it through, although they could see there was potential there. and work has a great benefit. it has a normalising effect. the government—ordered review, which covers the whole of the uk, suggests what is been held up as good practice has yet to catch on. it concludes poor mental health costs businesses £42 billion a year in lost work days and low productivity. the cost to the uk economy is put

even higher, at £99 billion. that takes in nhs costs of caring for people, the payment of benefits and lost taxes. employers generally have really got to grips with the idea of how you support the physical health of your staff, whether it's with adaptations or particular approaches to the health of your staff, but we haven't yet seen the same level of commitment towards the mental health of your staff. today's report, we are told, is a wake—up call to some businesses, whatever their size, across the uk. one of co—authors of the report has told me what really lies behind it is the need for a culture change in some organisations across the land to do more. that, of course, could be easier said than done. royal mail says it is convinced money spent on staff wellbeing does pay off. it's really important we look after their physical and their mental health.

obviously, there is a cost associated with that, but it is a cost that we see as well worth spending. we rely really heavily on our people and protecting their healt, safety and wellbeing is really of the utmost importance to us. the prime minister, who commissioned the report, said it underlines the need for action. she is asking the nhs and the civil service to lead the way. some of the changes, creating support online and more training, will cost — easier perhaps for big firms to afford than small ones, of course. but the message of today's report is not all the changes will cost money. a major police and home office operation against people—smugglers has been carried out overnight. 11 arrests were made in the uk and a further 15 in other parts of the european union. the raids in london, birmingham and gateshead targeted a gang which used secret compartments in vehicles to smuggle people across europe and into britain. our home affairs correspondent

daniel sandford reports. it was 5.00am this morning, the moment when officers launched a series of simultaneous raids across europe targeting a suspected people smuggling gang. immigration! stand clear! in west london. birmingham. and gateshead. as well as the raids here in britain, 15 people were arrested in bulgaria and belgium. in today's raids, immigration enforcement are targeting a group of men suspected of smuggling people into britain using hidden compartments in vehicles. the gang specialised in concealing people in vans and even in the bases of flat—bed trucks. what we have is families, we've had young children.

it's quite upsetting to see the photographs of how these people are held within vehicles. they're specifically built hides and concealments in vehicles and they can spend a number of days in those locations before they're recovered. as part of the uk operation, two men were arrested in birmingham, two in gateshead and seven in london. many of those arrested were afghans, as were many of the people they're accused of smuggling, although there were people from pakistan and vietnam too. the international part of the operation was co—ordinated be a by a task force set up by eurojust — part of the european union. this operation today has been a piece of work done by a wide group of people across countries in different organisations over a period of time to get to the point to be able to have the kind of success with theseseries of arrests. despite close to 100 prosecutions for people smuggling each year, it is still a multimillion pound criminal industry. catalonia's leader carles

puigdemont says he will not call a snap election — as the crisis over the question of independence from spain continues. the government in madrid says it's ready to take direct control of the region — but the catalan president said he had not obtained sufficient guarantees from central government over whether direct rule could be averted. the spanish senate is widely expected to grant that powers when it votes tomorrow. my colleague tim willcox is in barcelona. in cost and what was in the bag? and talk about the statement from the president? the is due to speak about five hours ago. it was delayed, then suspended. all of his

coalition partners, including hard—line separatists, coalition partners, including ha rd—line separatists, thought coalition partners, including hard—line separatists, thought he would call for a snap —— call for snap elections. that annoys them. there were several resignations from the coalition. when he finally spoke he said he had thought about calling snap elections but decided not to. in the last half an hour he arrived at the catalan parliament. we are now hearing that his coalition will say that they will go to a vote tomorrow morning, presumably before the senate in madrid vote at 10am, to actually enact the result of that referendum back on the 1st of october. just to remind you, that was a referendum where 90% of people who took part voted to leave spain, but only on a 43% turnout. according to catalan law that needs to be voted on. but it seems now, but nobody is 100% sure, that they might go for a vote tomorrow morning and

declare independence, but that could bea declare independence, but that could be a few minutes before spain. plug on their institution and basically sacks —— that could be a few minutes before spain pulls the plug on their institution and basically sacks the catalonian president. what would be the outcome? as you know, this society is divided. already today when it was thought that carles puigdemont wouldn't declare independence but would declare snap elections, many ha rdliners independence but would declare snap elections, many hardliners and stu d e nts elections, many hardliners and students took to the streets angry that he stepped back from the brink. when madrid imposes director role they will need to be very careful or as sensitive as they can about it. because there are millions of people in this region who want independence. on the other hand there are millions of people here who do not. up until the last few

weeks they have considered themselves the silent majority because they say it's difficult to because they say it's difficult to be living in catalonia while being a catalan. the hard—line supporters of ca rles catalan. the hard—line supporters of carles puigdemont in his coalition have called for demonstrations outside every town hall in catalonia tonight in order to show support for separatism. it is a difficult situation. it's a messy situation. it's one madrid will have to be careful about and i think they will be conscious, even though they haven't really apologised officially for the scenes of police moving in on the 1st of october, but they will be conscious that those images did not do them any favours at all in spain and around the world during that referendum on the 1st of october, which madrid, of course, considered illegal. thank you for the latest. this is bbc news at five —

the headlines: the husband and wife team — guilty of planning a terror knife attack — in birmingham. in barcelona — thousands demand independence from spain — but the president refuses to call for new regional elections. some 300,000 people leave theirjobs every year in the uk — because of mental health issues rangers have sacked their manager after seven months in charge. the clu b after seven months in charge. the club dropped to fourth in the scottish premiership after 84 with kilmarnock last night. martina hingis has announced her retirement from tennis. she won 25 grand slam singles titles. the finals in singapore will be her last tournament. the chairman of the fa, greg clark, says the national body has lost the trust of the public over their handling of the discrimination claims made against the former england women's manager

mark sampson. i will be back with more on those stories at around half past the hour. a woman has told a jury in winchester that she blacked out — as she fell 4000 feet to the ground — after her parachute failed to open properly. her husband, army sergeant emile cilliers, is on trial for attempting to murder her by sabotaging her parachute as well as causing a gas leak at their home in amesbury. the accident happened on april 2015

in wiltshire. the video —— in the video she said that her main parachute failed to open then she had a problem with her reserve chute. —— reserve parachute. she said she was spinning, she said it was like a centrifuge. she said she used her whole body. she could not work out why she couldn't gain control. she said she was trying to keep hold of as many cells as she could, then it went black. she was asked what her chances were of a main and reserve parachute failing, she replied one in a million. the jury she replied one in a million. the jury have already seen this demonstration video to see if it was possible to tamper with a parachute ina possible to tamper with a parachute in a cubicle at the airbase in

around five minutes, including removing five nylon ties called slinks. in court she said: when askedif slinks. in court she said: when asked if he thought the whole incident surrounding the job was an accident, she said i don't think it can be an accident, slinks do not break. she said she suffered several injuries. her husband denies two cou nts injuries. her husband denies two counts of attempted murder. she will be back in court tomorrow. duncan kennedy, bbc news at winchester court. more than half a century after the assassination of presidentjohn f kennedy — most of the remaining files on his killing are being released. conspiracy theories have led to the publication of hundreds of books, films and web sites. but experts have warned not to expect many revelations from the thousands of classified documents being released this afternoon. our correspondent jane o'brien reports from washington.

time has not dimmed america's fascination with the kennedys, a fairy tale family cursed by fate. newsreel: president kennedy has been assassinated. it's official now, the president is dead. more than half a century after his assassination in dallas, many americans still believe that jfk's killer, lee harvey oswald, was not acting alone. donald trump had his own conspiracy theory once that the father of his campaign rival senator ted cruz was somehow involved. what was he doing with lee harvey oswald... right. ..shortly before the death — before the shooting? it's horrible. crazy. donald trump alleges that my dad was involved in assassinating jfk... now, let's be clear, this is nuts! mr trump has come under pressure from congress to allow the latest

batch of documents to be released. some relate to oswald's mysterious trip to mexico, where he met cuban and soviet spies. but he himself was murdered before he could stand trial. he has been shot — oswald has been shot. the 1992 law which ordered some fbi case files to be kept secret was intended to quell growing speculation. even now, parts of the evidence will be redacted. those who are expecting to see a bombshell about the assassination are likely to be very disappointed. it's time to do this so that everybody can believe that all the records that are in the hands of the federal government are released. what might have been,

had kennedy survived, is still the subject of a national debate that will never be settled. it's unlikely that these documents will end the equally passionate obsession with his death. jane o'brien, bbc news, washington. is it your view that we are likely to find out something today that will change the narrative or not? that would be very optimistic. i don't think there will be a bombshell document with any revelations. but you might find some important information in there that we did not know about the assassination previously. will that be about lee harvey oswald? word

eating the areas of interest will be? —— where do you think the areas of interest will be? i think there will be a lot around this mysterious trip that lee harvey oswald went to mexico and he was in contact with a lot of people who wanted to see kennedy dead. we know that the cia had those people under surveillance. ijust wonder how much information cia had at the time about lee harvey oswald. do you think there has been some cover—up over the years?” don't. there was clearly a cover—up which has been documented, but it isn't the one people think of, but there was a cover—up to hide just how much the cia and the fbi know about lee harvey oswald before the assassination. the possibly bungled information that could have saved the life of the president. that's the life of the president. that's the question, could this have been stopped from happening? exactly. there is a lot to be made about

these turning point in us history. something different could have happened if the government had acted upon the information they had in their own files. this team that have been looking at these documents which are due to be released, do you think they have spotted something which makes them think releasing them is not wise? i understand the cia was alarmed about the release of some of these documents. they may have gone to the president in the last 24 hours and made that plea again. for people joining us who are not familiar with the entire background of what happened and lee harvey oswald's network of contacts, if you like how would you describe him as an individual? a delusional misfit. a committed marxist. he publicly declared his links to castro. he said he was motivated because he suspected kennedy was trying to kill castro and he wanted to avenge castro. he wanted to kill

kennedy before kennedy could kill castro. given all that, what's your assessment of the state of public opinion in america today about whether they have been given the full truth or not about what happened there. every public opinion polls since the late 19605 has shown poll5 since the late 19605 has shown that the american people are convinced they've not been told the truth and that there was some conspiracy and it went beyond lee harvey oswald. final point, do you think it is wise to be releasing the5e think it is wise to be releasing these documents? absolutely. i call myself a historian the5e these documents? absolutely. i call myself a historian these days. this i5a myself a historian these days. this is a turning point in american history. the american public is entitled to know, 54 years after it happened, how their president died. thank you so much for coming in. we are still expecting the5e documents about the assassination of

jfk. they were meant to have come out at about lunchtime our time today. we will see. if there is some initial sense of what is there when we get them, we will bring them to you —— we will bring the information to you. pope francis has made a call to the international space station. the iss, which has been manned continuously since 2000 is home to six astronauts. the pope asked the crew a variety of questions, including their views on man and the universe. but it's not the first time a pontiff has made a phone call, pope benedict — predece55or to pope francis — called the space station in 2011. we will take a look at the headlines ina we will take a look at the headlines in a moment and catch up with the latest sport, but first the weather. it's been a pretty cloudy day today. we will lose a lot of that cloud tomorrow but at the same time it'll turn cooler and fre5her. here is our view from space. lot5 turn cooler and fre5her. here is our view from space. lots of cloud, particularly acro55 view from space. lots of cloud, particularly across southern areas. that cloud has been bringing

outbreak5 that cloud has been bringing outbreaks of that cloud has been bringing outbrea ks of patchy that cloud has been bringing outbreaks of patchy rain and drizzle. we have seen some brightness further north. over tonight that cloud will peel away to the south, taking spots of rain and drizzle with it. behind that the sky i5 drizzle with it. behind that the sky is clear and it will turn quite chilly, particularly acro55 northern england, northern ireland and scotland. we are looking at 6 degrees even in the big town5 scotland. we are looking at 6 degrees even in the big towns and cities. clo5e degrees even in the big towns and cities. close to freezing in rural spots and the odd touch of frost. shaping up to be a beautiful day, maybe just the odd shower clipping into the coast of east anglia but i am clutching at straws. e55entially am clutching at straws. e55entially a fine day with sunny spell5. temperatures ju5t a fine day with sunny spell5. temperatures just a notch down from where they have been today, and saturday looking milder again, but with cloud and rain in the north—west by sunday things start to turn much, much colder, particularly in the north. the headlines at 5:30pm:

the husband and wife team convicted of planning a terror attack in birmingham. madihah taheer was found guilty today of buying a combat knife for her husband to use. in barcelona, thousands demand independence from spain but the president refuses to call for new regional elections. some 300,000 people leave theirjobs every year in the uk because of mental health issues, a new study finds. 11 people are arrested across the uk as part of an international operation against people smuggling. and coming up, poetry in poppies — the british legion spells out the iconic in flanders fields in locations across britain and northern france. let's catch up with the sports news.

another day and another managerial sacking, this time at rangers, who have parted company with manager pedro caixinha afterju5t seven months in charge. last night's draw with kilmarnock his last match in charge. chris mclaughlin is in glasgow. it never really got going for pedro caixinha when he was appointed. just 232 days ago, some sword a5 a progre55ive 232 days ago, some sword a5 a progressive move, 232 days ago, some sword a5 a progre55ive move, others sought as a strange appointment. he was defeated in the best red cup final by motherwell in the semis at the weekend and last white knight that draw to kilmarnock. the rangers board met this morning, after that pedro caixinha took training but then rangers released a statement saying that pedro wa5

then rangers released a statement saying that pedro was disappointed in march but results had been disappointing and not commensurate with the level of investment, and that was key because he brought in 11 players and spent around £9 million, not a lot in the english premier league but a lot in the scottish premiership, so rangers will now have to write this off as an expensive mistake, but you could 5ay an expensive mistake, but you could say they can ill afford to make many more. andy woodward, the whistle—blower whose revelations about his experiences as a young footballer led to multiple accusations of historic child sex abuse in football at the end of last year, has told the bbc he felt devastated by the way in which he said he was described by the fa chief executive greg clarke. clarke was speaking earlier this week to a parliamentary committee and said one of the victims, which woodward believes to be him, "cried like a baby". i was devastated. i would like you,

it's deeply upset me because that was a confidential meeting between myself and two other members of the fa and greg clark, who came into the room, so i felt let down. i did contact the fa the following day when i had seen it for a response from them but i didn't receive one. that must be disappointing. from them but i didn't receive one. that must be disappointingm from them but i didn't receive one. that must be disappointing. it was upsetting but he has contacted me since and apologi5ed upsetting but he has contacted me since and apologised for what he said. former world number one martina hingis has announced her retirement from tennis. she's said she'd like to go out at the peak of her career, following 25 grand slam titles, including winning the mixed double5 at wimbledon with jamie murray this summer. she'll retire after the current wta finals in singapore, where she is playing double5 with partner yung jan—chan. the pair are the world number one pairing in double5. it isn't the first time she has

announced her retirement. she did at 22 after suffering injuries. she posted this message on social media today. james haskell is the notable omission from eddiejones's 34—man england squad named today ahead of next month's three internationals at twickenham. the wasps back—row, who has 75 england caps, started the season with a hand injury and has been replaced by exeter‘s sam simmonds, who receives his first call—up. but england's head coach says there is a future for haskell and northampton‘s tom wood, who was also left out. ireland have named their 38—man squad for the autumn internationals and simon zebo has been dropped — just days after it was announced he was leaving ireland to play in france next season. connacht centre bundee aki, who has recently qualified on residency, is included. that's all the sport for now. many thanks, john.

a key plank of the government's brexit policy, the eu withdrawal bill, is to return to the commons for detailed scrutiny on the 14th of november. there has been a delay in considering it because so many amendments have been proposed. mp5 have proposed nearly 400 amendments to the bill, which transfers eu law into uk legislation. joining me now is our chief political correspondent vicki young. now we have a date for this, is this bill manageable with all these amendments being tabled? that has been the problem for the government, they have been going through all these changes mp5 want to make, hundreds of them. this is the line by line examination of the withdrawal bill which brings all that eu law and regulation into uk

law so there is not this gap when we leave in march 2019, but mp5 have a long list of grievances with it. many of them think it is not in a fit shape to be legislation, they have problems with the transition, they want a comprehensive league writing into the bill that there will be this transition period, they are upset about the so—called henry viii powers that ministers will have two get through the workload, they say it's a power grab and i will not be enough scrutiny, devolved administrations want assurances that any powers that come back from brussels will go straight to them, and then the big one about a meaningful vote, the idea that should also be written into law, what is the vote that mp5 will get? will it be meaningful and when will it happen? they want that in there,

so the government have to work out how to deal with these issues, and today david davis, the secretary of state for an exiting the eu, was given a reminder by one of his own backbenchers, who said we have heard rumours that you were not serious about all this, she said we are deadly serious about it. the question is how far conservatives are willing to go to oppose their own government. there was talk about rebellions before article 50 was triggered, but in the end just one conservative, ken clarke, voted against the government. the question is how far they are prepared to go this time. let's talk about public opinion on brexit. despite voting to leave the eu, welsh voters still appear to be deeply divided over what the consequences of brexit will be — and what form the uk's exit from the eu should take. a major new study by cardiff university has found that

just under a third of leave voters in wales believe they would be better off after brexit, whilst more than half said there would be no difference. professor roger scully of cardiff university has analysed the findings and is here. what should we take away as the principal message of this research? the main thing which comes clearly from the major survey and focus group work we have done is that not many people are changing their minds and deep divisions remain between people who voted remain and leave, not just people who voted remain and leave, notjust on people who voted remain and leave, not just on how people who voted remain and leave, notjust on how they people who voted remain and leave, not just on how they would people who voted remain and leave, notjust on how they would vote if there were another referendum but in terms of what sort of brexit we should see, what their expectations are of what brexit will deliver and even on matters of political process , even on matters of political process, so if there is an agreement between the uk and the eu, how

should it be ratified? should parliament have to vote on it, devolved chambers, maybe even a second referendum ? it, devolved chambers, maybe even a second referendum? ringmain voters think things will be different from what leave voters expect, they are much more optimistic and think we should go ahead, remain voters are more cautious. are you saying that since the referendum, there has been no noticeable major shift in public opinion? we are seeing very few people change their minds on either side, and not only by the same place on brexit but people on the two sides aren't different places on how they view the subject, it says if you have two sets of people looking at different worlds. what about whether there will be economic benefit or damage at the end of the

process , benefit or damage at the end of the process, whatever the shape of the deal is? remain voters are pessimistic, they think brexit will be bad news for their communities and for wales, bad news for the uk's global influence, they think we will not get more money to spend on the nhs, but leave voters do not necessarily think brexit will make them better off but by a clear majority most do not think they will be worse off, so i think because they have deep objections to the eu in principle, as long as they don't think they will be worse off, they are still happy to leave. can we say what their view would be if they thought they would be immeasurably worse off? those sort of hypotheticals are difficult for people tojudge. they hypotheticals are difficult for people to judge. they are much less convinced that they will be worse off and also we saw in focus groups

that even though some people think there may be a short—term cost, lots of people who voted leave still think brexit will be worth it, even if there is a short—term cost they think in the long the uk can prosper they seek the eu's infringements on sovereignty is so objectionable that some short—term cost has been priced m, some short—term cost has been priced in, and they still think it's worth it. on the debate, as to her people's priorities were, whether it was sovereignty or the economy or immigration, what have you learned on that? is immigration still a high issue? it is, and we did a detailed analysis on leave voters in the south wales valleys, which are seen eu funding but they all voted to leave, and to clear things come out, there is concern about immigration

but also a deep feeling amongst a lot of people that they had received all this money but what have we got for it? a feeling that money was spent on projects done to them rather than with them and a lot had been on vanity projects, things that did not deliver tangible benefits to local people. they were struggling to see what they got for this money. thank you for coming in, professor roger scully from cardiff university with a major survey on the opinion of people in wales on brexit. some of the other stories making bbc news at 5pm: the electoral commission in kenya has postponed voting in four western counties in the re—run of the presidential election because of what it calls security challenges. at least two people have been killed in clashes between protesters and police in the western city of kisumu. the main opposition party is boycotting the vote, calling it a sham. at least 47 people have been killed and dozens more injured and missing after an explosion at a fireworks factory in indonesia.

more than 100 people worked at the factory, west of the capitaljakarta. the blaze is under control, but the exact number of casualties is still being confirmed. four people have died after a train and army lorry collided on a level crossing in southern finland. the defence ministry said three of the dead were soldiers, thought to be conscripts doing compulsory military service, and one was a passenger on the train. at least seven people were injured. huge crowds have lined the streets of bangkok to mark the funeral ceremony of the late king bhumibol, who died in october last year aged 88. hundreds of thousands of mourners wearing black watched the funeral procession. buildings on the route were draped in yellow marigolds. the cremation ceremony is now under way. our correspondentjonathan head sent this report from bangkok. strict laws there mean he is restricted in what he can say. monarchy matters in thailand more than in most countries.

so their kings get a lavish sendoff. king bhumibol reigned for 71 years. he shaped modern thailand and restore the monarchy to godlike status. no expense or effort was spared in this intricately choreographed procession taking an ornate royal urn from the palace to the cremation site. it was moved at a snail‘s pace in a 14—tonne chariot dating back to the 18th century. those able to get close to the procession went down in the traditional thai gesture of deference. tens of thousands more who had come were kept at a distance, unable to seek. many of these people have been waiting overnight for a chance to say goodbye to their king. king bhumibol was a powerful political figure who anchored a conservative social order in thailand, often worked

with military governments, and you cannot doubt the intense emotional bond that he established with ordinary thais. that's what you're seeing here. they call him simply father. from birth they've been told they owe their country's stability and prosperity to him. it is a profound sense of loss. it is very difficult to express in words, because it means that is he really going away? is the king really going away? we have been preparing for this for a year already, and now today is the day, and it's very hard to accept. there are dissenting views on thailand's monarchy which can't be heard here. but under the strict guidance of an ultra—royalist military government, this funeral will help to ensure that monarchy in this country remains centre stage. the headlines:

a husband and wife are found guilty of planning a terror knife attack in birmingham. in barcelona, thousands demand independence from spain but the president refuses to call for new regional elections. some 300,000 people leave theirjobs every year in the uk because of mental health issues. an update on the market numbers for you — here's how london's and frankfurt ended the day. and in the united states, this is how the dow and the nasdaq are getting on. a rocket—powered car which is expected to challenge the world land—speed record has received its first public outing this afternoon in cornwall. the arrow—shaped bloodhound, which is designed to travel at 1000 miles per hour, was tested at the relatively sedate speed of about 200 miles an hour on the runway

at cornwall airport in newquay. helena lee reports. the supersonic car brought out for its first test, a huge moment for the bloodhound team. more than 3000 people were there to watch at newquay airport. a last—minute check by the raf wing commander before getting into the cockpit. and off it went, using just the thrust of its jet engine, it tookjust eight seconds to reach up to 200 mph. this is the chance to say here we are, 200 mph cap car, it is gone up to that speed and slowed down again twice today. the car and team are ready and we will go much faster next year. this journey began in

october nine years ago, a journey which has reached one of its most important milestones. this is complex technology, a 7.5 tonne vehicle that would generate six times more power than an entire formula 1 grid and cover a mile in 3.6 seconds. a car which sprang from the genius of ron ayres, now 85, who had already worked on to successful land speed record attempt.“ had already worked on to successful land speed record attempt. if we break 1000 mph, that will be 31% faster than last time, which is massive. the quest for a land speed records stretches back across the decades. to date takes another card designer one step closer to his vision. i'm proud we have got this

far but i will really start getting proud when it really starts breaking records and what i really want it to do is make nice load supersonic bangs that will reverberate around the world. today's trials are a major step forward but the team are already looking ahead to hire and fire is speeds, leading to that record attempt in south africa. prince harry has warned of the dangers of social media for young people as he met ambassadors for a mental health charity on a visit to denmark. the prince is on a two—day visit to copenhagen — the latest in a series of european trips being made by the royal family. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell‘s report contains some flash photography. he's 33 now and the working side to his life has settled into a rhythm. harry is now fully committed to royal duties, in britain and representing britain abroad. the burden of royal duty has shifted significantly to the younger generation, so in copenhagen it's harry representing his grandmother meeting denmark's queen margrethe,

and then seeking to emphasise the importance of long—standing european links between britain and denmark. our two countries have an unbreakable bond, which is as strong now as it ever has been. there are also serious messages harry wants to convey. on mental health, for example. he spoke to one group about the dangers of social media. people are spending far too much time online, he said, causing mentalfatigue. but the impression is of a prince who's at ease and enjoying himself. this part of the equation is settled. harry's working life is pretty much sorted and he seems to be enjoying it, but of course that leaves the big question about his personal life. there is no doubt that his relationship with the american actress meghan markle is a serious one — they were seen together in toronto last month, but questions about a possible royal engagement are off the agenda

among his officials. for now, the public face of harry is this — a working prince who seems noticeably content with the way his life is moving at the moment. lines from the familiar great war poem in flanders fields have been spelled out in clusters of poppies in iconic locations across the uk and northern france, as the royal british legion launches this year's poppy appeal. the poem, written by the canadian army doctorjohn mccrae, is familiar worldwide, and the passages are being displayed in several locations, including the national memorial arboretum, the white cliffs of dover, and the beaches of dunkirk. our correspondent sophie long has this report. in flanders fields the poppies blow between the crosses row on row... written as poppies bloomed on the battlefields of the first world war, despite the death and

destruction all around them, john mccrae's in flanders fields is being brought back into the nation's consciousness. we are the dead, short days ago we lived, felt, dawn, saw sunset glow. it's the poppy as life, growing in the most difficult of circumstances, the poppy notjust a symbol of remembrance of the past, but of hope for the future as well. take up a quarrel with the foe, to you from failing hands we throw... it's hoped that the poppy appeal for 2017 will encourage people to remember the armed forces of the past, but also of the present, and remind people that the work of royal british legion is as vital today as it was in the aftermath of first world war when it was founded. the torch be yours to hold it high, if you break faith with us who die. there is so many service people now coming out of military life that

are struggling with the physical injuries or mental injuries or just the transition. on my final tour of afghanistan, it got really bad. on my return, it got that bad that i got told i was going to get medically discharged from the army. which destroyed me. i went to a very, very dark place and without the legion, you know, i can't hand on heart say i would still be here today. he'd always been there for us as a family unit. he was the rock and to not have him there, as a body he was there, as a soul he wasn't. he wasn't mike. we needed him back, and with the support and help from the royal british legion, we got him back. the poppy as a symbol of remembrance was born out of first world war, which gave us the liberty to choose — whether to wear a poppy or not is a personal choice,

and the royal british legion says there is no right or wrong way to wear it, other than with pride. cameron kilgour is the great—great—nephew ofjohn mccrae, and we can speak to him now from winnipeg, canada, via webcam. good to talk to you, cameron, and you must be so proud of this connection. when were you first aware of it? i think cameron can't hear us. can you hear me? no, i don't think he can. cameron is the great great—nephew ofjohn mccrea, the poet and canadian army doctor

who wrote one of the most famous of war poems, focused around the great war. he was going to tell us about his link and is since he has been a schoolboy he has been a work of the link, our thanks to cameron for at least trying to talk to us. the winner of the royal institute of british architects' most prestigious award, the stirling prize, will be announced next tuesday. the nominations to become britain's best new building 2017 include a new college campus in glasgow, a london housing development and a rejuvenated seaside pier on the south coast of england. today, we look at the british museum world conservation and exhibitions centre in london by rogers stirk harbour and partners. the museum had a very complex master plan for the site. it was supplementing the front

of house experience and offering conservation and science special exhibitions, logistics and other things left over from being in the compound as the work that's been available for 250 years. so what we did was spend a tremendous amount of time with the museum understanding their wants and needs to try and respond to this. essentially, we wanted to create a world conservation and exhibition centre for the whole of the museum campus. this is really a celebration of all the background work that maintains this collection. it also creates a fantastic vehicle within which those wider world contributions can exist. the building is a state—of—the—art facility for conservation and scientific research. it has helped to bring all of those staff together, to work together, and it has also help us to design new laboratory facilities that help to preserve the collection, to better understand the collection and to communicate that

to the wider public. i think what's unique about this building is that it's a strikingly modern building in a very sensitive conservation environment. for me personally, spending seven years at the british museum, by the end of the process, i felt like i work here, rather than at rogers stirk harbour and partners. and you can see all the nominated buildings on the bbc arts website and find out who is the winner of the riba stirling prize for architecture live on the bbc news channel next tuesday between 8:30pm and 9pm. it's a pretty intense competition this year, so keep an eye out for that. we will have bbc news at six pm andi that. we will have bbc news at six pm and i will be back at 10pm, but let'sjoin them for the pm and i will be back at 10pm, but let's join them for the weather. temperatures will take a tumble in

the next couple of days, today it was mild but also cloudy, especially across the southern half of the country, slickly produced some patchy rain, something brighter further north and this evening we will take that area of cloud and roll it down to the south, the cloud hanging on across the south of england but further north where the skies are clear, expected touch of frost and some fog patches to take us frost and some fog patches to take us into tomorrow. tomorrow is shaping up to be a beautiful day, early fog lifting quite quickly and then we will see plenty of sunshine, just a bit of patchy cloud, maybe the odd shower in northern scotland and for east anglia but generally a nice day, temperatures down a little bit. saturday will turn a touch milder with more cloud and rain in the north west, on sunday we start

to see the effects of some pretty cold air working its way in from the north. a government report says mental health remains a taboo subject in many workplaces — and employers must do more. i was already feeling quite low at that point, i was quite promptly dismissed. and we'll be looking at the challenges that mental health issues pose to police services. also tonight... the husband and wife convicted of terror offences — prosecutors say they put terror at the heart of their marriage. moments before the murder that shocked the world — today all documents related to the killing ofjohn f kennedy are being released. a five—day funeral ceremony for the king of thailand, who died last year — huge crowds of mourners take to the streets.
