11:02 pm
the murder of pc keith palmer, who was stabbed by masood within the grounds of the palace of westminster. his colleague pc nick carlisle who was standing next to pc palmer has told the bbc how he tried to save his friend. from the old bailey, daniel sandford reports. the second phase of last year's westminster attack began when a 4x1; smashed into the fence around parliament and the driver, khalid masood, ran through the main gates of the house of commons. he was clearly coming into parliament, and i believe he was coming in with intentions, the sole intention to kill police officers. pc nick carlisle was guarding the gates with pc keith palmer. he saw khalid masood knock his colleague to the ground. he'd known keith palmerfor ten years, and suddenly masood was stabbing his friend with two large knives. action clearly needed to be taken, i had already started running forward, his right hand side was to me, i had lined him up
11:03 pm
and i was going to strike him with a shoulder barge, and rugby tackle to his right side and put him to the floor. but when i was almost upon him, he seen me come in, and he turned to face me, knives up, and i had to veer away to the side. pc palmer escaped, and both officers ran towards parliament, pursued by khalid masood. and already in sight, coming up the cobbles, were two close protection officers with their handguns drawn. there was a warning, there was a volley of shots and they put him to the ground, they shot him. the pistol shots echoed around westminster. gunfire. this was the momentjust after the officers opened fire, pc carlisle can be seen just to their left, but then he stepped forward again, to deal with khalid masood. to prevent him getting back into the fight, i got forward and handcuffed him in the rear, making sure if he had a detonator that it couldn't be used. so you handcuffed him, even though you were worried that he might be wearing a suicide vest.
11:04 pm
yeah, to take him out of the fight. the inquest jury found today that khalid masood was lawfully killed. and the chief coroner said the then acting commissioner of the metropolitan police, sir craig mackey, who saw the attack and was driven out of the gates seconds afterwards, had acted properly. his force dismissed recent criticism of him. there is nothing that craig could have done to have stopped masood or to have saved pc palmer or any others from being injured. craig was in a car, accompanied by two civilian staff members. neither he nor the two civilian staff had any protective equipment with them. pc carlisle, seen here bottom left, went on to help in the effort to save his injured colleague, but pc palmer died, protecting parliament. a student and drill rapper from london has been sent to prison for seven years for trafficking drugs into barrow—in—furness in cumbria.
11:05 pm
daniel olaloko was jailed alongside peter adebayo. both were part of a so—called county lines gang, where city gangs use addicts in smaller towns and rural areas to deal drugs. an unprecedented 15 people have died from overdoses in barrow since december. our social affairs correspondent, michael buchanan reports. # i was raised in the gutter and it's ‘bout time i shine. # still serving sunday specials...# like many teenage boys, trigga t imagined what it would be like to be a criminal. his drill music videos glorify money, weaponry and misogyny. # got this tool upon my waist...# pursuing such a fantasy, however, usually ends in failure. police! stay where you are! as we watched on, trigga t, real name daniel olaloko, was arrested in halls of residence at the university of central lancashire. police, keep your hands up.
11:06 pm
in his room, police found a sword, knives, illegal drugs and hundreds of pounds. the 19—year—old pharmacology student was today sentenced to seven years in prison after pleading guilty to supplying heroin and crack cocaine, a key link in a supply chain spanning 300 miles from london to barrow—in—furness. as we reported earlier this year, the town is plagued by drug dealers and their deadly consequences. there have been an unprecedented 15 drug—related deaths since december. one of the key breakthroughs in this case was when police arrested a vulnerable 17—year—old girl in one of these flats. she'd been sent from london to barrow to sell drugs. when they searched her they found more than 50 wraps of heroin and crack cocaine inserted in her. alongside olaloko, another man with links to the london gang, peter adebayo, was also sentenced to seven years in prison. they were in the upper echelons of
11:07 pm
this organised crime group, so these convictions and sentences today are a real positive boost for us and the community. as quickly as any particular dealers are jailed, however, more head to barrow. and over the past year, increasingly, they come from the capital. the main lads have not even been touched, they're still booming, their business is still there. this local drug user, who wishes to remain anonymous for his own safety, told me londoners have taken over. their willingness to flash off weapons and weaponry of automatic calibre, as a gun instead of a knife. they've brought guns in. they are now the top people in barrow. this dilapidated block of flats has long offered rich pickings for drug dealers. but this flat will open shortly as a community centre. so, we're only weeks away from this place opening? supporting people to say no while
11:08 pm
police arrest the pushers. counsellors like dave, who once himself sold illegal drugs in barrow, will offer recovery and rehabilitation. i've been on the other end, i've sat in the prison cells, i've been in the grips, i've overdosed. and now i have a life beyond my wildest dreams. it's my passion and my desire to say, look, i've got this, you can have this. so you came to barrow from liverpool to sell drugs, to sell misery on one level... mm—hm. and now you've come back because... to bring hope, yeah. you start getting a bit fidgety... when we met bobby in april, hope was in short supply. you know the chances of you reaching old age are very slim. i know, it's pretty limited. very limited, in fact. you're 0k you're ok with that? yeah. but this is bobby now. seeing himself on tv, drug—addled and dispirited, appalled him. he's been clean since 3july. i just don't want to become a statistic, i want to be able to live my life, enjoy what's left of it, because you only get one life. i'm so glad i'm not doing that no more.
11:09 pm
i am really, really happy not to be in that world. different bobby. yeah. yeah, completely. bobby's success is due to courage, commitment and community. if barrow can bottle his resolve, fewer criminals will successfully prey on its most vulnerable residents. the government has further outlined what could happen if we leave the eu without a deal, as part of its contingency planning. eurostar might be suspended and tickets no longer valid, and the electricity supply to northern ireland could be disrupted. our deputy political editor john pienaar reports. the picture's building and it's not pretty. but brexit with no eu deal could disrupt british life and british business, according to government warnings. 106 now and counting. the latest? could the lights go out in northern ireland? energy suppliers would need protection if eu rules suddenly fall away.
11:10 pm
could the eurostar keep running? international rail deals would have to be replaced — maybe quickly. and trade — notjust with the eu, but a0 odd trade deals with other countries. no deal with them could mean more costs, ta riffs and checks on business. but theresa may has a big problem now. some ministers fear ending up bound by eu customs laws, unable to strike trade deals after any transition time, if no brexit trade agreement is ready by then. her own brexit secretary is one of them. it would have to be finite, it would have to be short and it would have to be, i think, time limited, in orderfor it to be supported here. what we cannot do is see the united kingdom locked in via the back door to a customs union arrangement which would leave us in indefinite limbo. that would not be leaving the eu. no more resignations — yet. i do think we have to give the prime minister the opportunity to be able to do a good deal for the united kingdom, something that she's absolutely determined to do. brexiteer ministers
11:11 pm
are staying loyal. at least in public. the immediate barrier to progress is here. all sides say no hard irish border after brexit, but some checks between northern ireland and the mainland are on the table, so the democratic unionists are threatening to turn on mrs may. the one red line in relation to the united kingdom is one that we will stand by, come what may. it's very important for us that we keep the constitutional integrity of the united kingdom, but also the economic integrity. mrs may is trying to bridge the divisions, downing street saying she will never allow britain to be trapped by eu customs laws permanently. brussels want to say the uk will follow those rules until a fully fledged trade deal is in place. so another tough cabinet meeting next week with the possibility of more resignations, then another difficult eu summit. could mrs may console herself with the thought that life couldn't get any tougher? not really. it could, and it probably will. princess eugenie has
11:12 pm
married jack brooksbank at st george's chapel in windsor. the royal family and celebrities were among 850 guests at the ceremony. eugenie, the ninth in line to the throne, was given away by her father, prince andrew, watched by her grandmother, the queen and by her mother sarah ferguson. nicholas witchell reports. hold on to your hats, it's another royal wedding — though this was one not quite in the same league at harry and meghan‘s. as the guests, celebrities among them, struggled through the autumn winds to st george's chapel, the sussexes slipped in quietly through a side door, more grateful than ever, perhaps, that their day had been one of spring sunshine. and then three guesses who the next arrival was. low—key was never quite sarah ferguson's way. the mother of the bride made an exuberant entrance outside the chapel. there are those within the royal family who can't forget
11:13 pm
the embarrassments she's caused over the years, but this was the yorks' day and the duchess was clearly delighted to be part of the family again. the queen was there for the wedding of one of her granddaughters, and alongside her the duke of edinburgh, a rare appearance by him, at the age of 97. they took their places just behind the duchess of york, the first time it's thought that the duke of edinburgh has been in such close proximity to his erstwhile daughter—in—law for 26 years. it was time for the bride. princess eugenie, ninth in line to the throne, arrived with her father, the duke of york. waiting inside the chapel, the groom, jack brooksbank, a drinks company manager. the bride joined him at the altar, where they exchanged their vows. i, eugenie victoria helena... take thee, jack christopher stamp...
11:14 pm
to my wedded husband. 0n the steps of the chapel, there was a kiss. and then a carriage ride through windsor. concerns have been expressed about the cost of providing security. in the event, it was a much smaller occasion than the sussexes' weeding, with a shorter route, and crowds which were respectable, rather than large. will that have mattered to the couple at the centre of it all? 0ne assumes not. turkish security sources have told the bbc they have audio and video evidence proving that the journalist jamal khashoggi was murdered inside the saudi consulate in istanbul last week. his disappearance has prompted alarm among investors, and the kingdom's western allies. riyadh has dismissed the allegations as baseless. mark lowen has more from istanbul. i've been told by a source close to
11:15 pm
the turkish that turkey has documented evidence that jamal khashoggi was killed inside the saudi concert some ten days ago. and while the official line in ankara remained that he is missing, turkey knows for sure that he was killed. and that tallies with other media reports that turkish intelligence 110w reports that turkish intelligence now has audio and video recordings to show that jamal now has audio and video recordings to show thatjamal khashoggi, this high profile saudi general list and not was interrogated, tortured, and murdered inside the saudi concert. and despite all of that, today turkey welcomed in saudi officials for a joint inquiry at riyadh's request. why? because the turkish gamut is treading carefully so as not to blow the part of diplomatic progress at this stage, while putting rasher on its western allies
11:16 pm
by leaking ever more important evidence to the media. the saudis art denying everything., but it is becoming more obvious that something happened here it is leaky district of istanbul. —— are. the headlines on bbc news: an inquest finds the man who carried out the westminster bridge terror attack, khalid masood, was lawfully killed by the security services. a drill music rapper from south london has beenjailed for seven years for his part in a so—called county lines drug operation in cumbria. eurostar rail services could be suspended if a brexit deal with the eu can not be reached — according to the latest government papers released. with the budget just over two weeks away, the chancellor has opened the door to tax rises, saying the government "may have to raise a little more tax" to pay for the nhs. philip hammond has also told the bbc that britain could see an economic
11:17 pm
boost if it successfully negotiates a brexit deal with the european union. 0ur economics editor, kamal ahmed reports from bali, where the imf is meeting. hello, chancellor, very good to see you... in just over two weeks' time, you deliver the budget. you've got high levels of debt, you've got the risk to the economy from the brexit process, and you have a prime minister saying that austerity is over. can i start with that austerity issue? when the prime minister says that austerity is over, what does that mean? well, what the prime minister was saying was that when we get a good deal from our negotiations with the european union, then as well as being able to continue reducing our debt, which is very important for the future, we will also be able to provide more support for our public services. look, we've made a very large commitment to the nhs, because we know that it is the british people's number one priority. by '23—'24, we will be putting
11:18 pm
an extra {20.5 billion a year into the nhs in england alone in real terms — and that has to be paid for. does that commitment to the nhs trump any manifesto promise to cut taxes? we've said that we may have to raise a little more tax in order to support the nhs and deliver on our pledge. but there are many ways in which we can do that. it's important that we do it in a way that minimises any negative impact on the economy, minimises the effect on people. i am a low tax tory. chancellor, on brexit, some more positive noises, possibly, from the government in britain and also the rest of the european union — are you feeling more optimistic that there will be a brexit deal? and if there is, could there be some form of dividend for the uk economy? what has happened over the last week, ten days, is that there has been a measurable change in pace. there's a real sense now of engagement from both sides, of shared enterprise in trying to solve a problem, rather than posturing towards each other.
11:19 pm
so, if we are able to get to a good dealfor britain, as we leave the european union, i believe there will be a dividend, a deal dividend for us, of higher economic growth and better outcomes than were otherwise anticipated. whatever the chancellor's positive words on a deal dividend, what is clear is that austerity is still with us today. public service cuts, benefit cuts, are ahead. the chancellor calls himself a low—tax tory. but he's left the door open to tax rises in the budget in two weeks' time. kamal ahmed, bbc news. police have confirmed that the driver of a minibus involved in yesterday's crash with a lorrry on the m4 has died from their injuries. two other people died at the scene of the collision. the other victims from the bus were staff members at prior‘s court school for autism in thatcham. police said there have been no arrests as a result of the crash. a man from lincoln has pleaded

guilty to sending a series of highly offensive letters and packages after an investigation by counter—terrorism officials. as part of a two—year hate campaign, david parnham called for a "punish a muslim day" and targeted mosques, muslim politicians and public figures including the queen and the prime minister. today at the old bailey, the 35—year—old admitted 15 offences including hoaxes involving poison and bombs, soliciting to murder and sending letters with intent to cause distress or anxiety. health officials say seven palestinians have been killed by israeli troops near the border between gaza and israel during the latest protests there. the gaza health ministry says that more than a hundred other palestinians have been injured. the israeli military says some of protestes were throwing fire bombs and explosive devices. the demonstrators are calling an end to an israeli and egyptian blockade on the narrow coastal strip, and a right to return to lands that
11:21 pm
palestinians fled in 19118. the head of the company at the centre of the controversy about stockpiled medical waste has hit back against claims of mismanagement. speaking for the first time garry pettigrew, of healthcare environmental services, told the bbc that bodyparts were not stored any longer than they should have been. the company has been stripped of some nhs contracts after hundreds of tons of clinical waste piled up at its sites. mr pettigrew was speaking to our health editor, hugh pym. he's the boss at the centre of a national row over hospital waste and garry pettigrew‘s company has lost disposable contract with some hospitals in infant because he was storing too much waste at his sights, he claims to me in some cases,
11:22 pm
medical waste was now not being handled safely. i know now that waste is being stored at hospitals in shipping containers and shipping containers are being lined with black liners, to stop liquids, whatever else, coming out, that has been put into skips. the department of health denied this and said there were strong governance to ensure safe disposal of waste. and no gap in service provision. mr pettigrew says his company has a backlog because of a lack of incinerators around the uk to burn it. in a statement today, the regulator said: in e—mails seen by the bbc, mr pettigrew wrote to the agency in may, advising: an official responded: the agency said today, planned shutdowns did sometimes
11:23 pm
occur for maintenance. the company says it has been vilified for providing an excellent service. what do you say to someone who says that there are body parts stored at your sites, that it is unhygienic, that it is not safe? none of that is true, every single part people refer to there is dealt with securely, professionally, and any anatomical waste is stored in fridges, and at the same time prioritised for outward bound. in response to allegations from former staff that there had been a range of practices at sites which might be worrying to the public. the boss said they operated in line with official permits. patisserie valerie's chairman has said it will be "business as normal" after securing a rescue deal saving the cafe chain and almost 3,000 jobs. the company's finance chief had been arrested on suspicion of fraud , and was later released on bail.

—— fraud, and. earlier this week, the firm said it had discovered significant irregularities in its accounts. an environmental campaigner has lost a legalfight to block fracking at a site near blackpool. the high court dismissed a claim by bob dennett that lancashire county council's emergency procedures were inadequate. the energy firm — cuadrilla — will begin fracking there tomorrow. judy hobson reports. it was quite outside the gates of cuadrilla's shell gas site today. after midday, campaigners heard their case to delay fracking had failed. we will continue to resist this industry with every fibre of oui’ this industry with every fibre of our being. we are not going anywhere. if they think putting us through the legal system and the legal system failing us will deter us, it won't. we have three political prisoners to get free as well, too. we were let them rot in jail. two campaigners have taken their case to the high court in london. they claimed there was no
11:25 pm
plan for evacuating residents are suddenly went badly wrong at the site, such as a gas explosion. the judicial in has failed us. how they can say this is not require an emergency plan, that if a siren sounds now, where are you going? do you know where you're going and where is safe? cuadrilla plebiscite was medium risk, and no evacuation plan was needed. today the judge agreed and said there was no serious issue to be tried. a commonsense decision from thejudge. issue to be tried. a commonsense decision from the judge. i issue to be tried. a commonsense decision from thejudge. i don't think it really had any merit in the first place. this site is no different to myriad other industrial sites across lancashire that don't have sophisticated publicly available evacuation plans for an emergency. and i don't think is different. despite their disappointment, campaigners say they won't give up. they haven't been fracking for seven years. somebody said what will it be like when you lose? there said what will it be like when you lose ? there is said what will it be like when you lose? there is only going on price,
11:26 pm
no losing, until we succeed. lose? there is only going on price, no losing, untilwe succeed. the court heard that it is costing cuadrilla £94,000 a day to keep the kit and equipment on site. clearly they want to begin fracking as soon as possible. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers sebastian payne, from the ft, and the broadcaster, lynn faulds wood. that's coming up just after the headlines at 11:30. now it's time for the weather with nick miller. storm kal hit the uk on friday, and much of the north and west will be in the thick of it on saturday. why? the centre of callum is to the north. a wedding weather front with polls in rain. as boss of rain are in the same area on saturday. 0n sunday, it moves east. a far north pulse of rain will tell whether in the east of england. but in the
11:27 pm
west, finally it will be dry. we'll talk all about that in a moment, but first i want to stress the impact of the rain across western parts of uk, especially south wales. met office amber warning especially south wales. met office amberwarning in the especially south wales. met office amber warning in the wettest parts. so that a portion of that. some flooding there. this area of rain on saturday, western england, through wales, it is southern scotland. rain extending into northern ireland. but there is an area to the east that holds onto some sunshine. lighter winds for scotland and northern ireland. these are wind gusts. still some gusts around 60 miles an hour towards wales and south—west england. big range of temperatures, though. look at the warmth in the sunshine in the east. this could be a record at this stage of october, at around 25 celsius. it will all change for part two of the weekend on sunday. this way the weather front is starting to move covered
11:28 pm
behind that we could see a change of wind direction from the atlantic. it will turn cooler where it has been so warm. will turn cooler where it has been so warm. but the far north pulse of rain will make for a very wet sunday morning across the eastern parts of england. some uncertainty about the clea ra nce england. some uncertainty about the clearance of the rain, but if only mercy far east of england, clearing northern scotland, where it has been so northern scotland, where it has been so wet in the west. it will be much,. it has been so warm, it will be cooler. i'd been talking for a while about the remnants of hurricane michael and where it will go next week. this is what is left of it, tracking across the atlantic. at one stage it looked like it would come close to us, but it now looks legal move to iberia, it during the re m na nts of legal move to iberia, it during the remnants of hurricane leslie. we will get regular low pressure coming into the atlantic. that means that without the influence of michael, some quiet weather across the uk, with some rain affecting western
11:29 pm
parts of scotland. the average is close to average for the time of year. not particularly windy. but as that next area of low pressure, remember, not including the remnants of michael, this low pressure comes in on tuesday. they will bigger wind to the north and west. it the centre of pa rt to the north and west. it the centre of part of the system to scotland. so really this is the north—west of the uk. most likely to see our press of rain in these areas, with the risk of gales further north. to the rest of the country, it you will be worn at 17 or 18 degrees. the peru two next week, after that low pressure, another area of high pressure, another area of high pressure and then another low pressure and then another low pressure coming through. the closer you are to these low pressure systems, occasionally a bit windy, not all the time. the south of these, the closer to the high pressure, you are more subtle. but it looks a typical, fairly average week of weather next week. after last week's extremes, that may fit
