good morning. welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and jon kay. our headlines today: warnings of travel disruption and floods as storm callum brings a second day of heavy rain and strong winds to parts of the uk. residents of one welsh village spend the night on evacuation watch as water levels rise. good morning. there's more rain to come today, particularly for wales where we still have that amber warning. it's another windy day. meanwhile, across eastern parts of england, we could see temperatures up to 25 celsius. all the details in the next 15 minutes. the head of the united nationsjoins calls for a proper investigation into the disappearance of a saudi journalist at the country's consulate in istanbul. the sound of silence on and off the pitch as england draw 0—0 with croatia in front of an empty stadium. and the awkward question at the royal wedding for the duchess of york. more on old data bit later.

—— more on all of that a bit later. it's saturday 13th october. our top story: parts of the uk are facing a second day of travel disruption and flood warnings as storm callum continues to bring heavy rain and strong winds to many areas. one village in south wales has spent the night on evacuation alert because of rising floodwaters and passengers had to be rescued from a train yesterday after it became stranded. ben ando reports. gently, a man in his 90s is stretchered up a steep bank by firefighters — the last passenger to be rescued from a train left stranded by flooding after the river cynon burst its banks at penrhiwceiber, nearaberdare. earlier those on the train had recorded the waters rising around them as they waited for help. very dangerous for the train to move forwards or backwards at that point in time. the rail incident officer

from network rail quickly assessed the validity of the line and made a decision at that point that it was wiser to evacuate the passengers rather than attempt to drive the train through floodwater. south wales has had the worst of storm callum so far. roads are closed, trains are cancelled and thousands of homes have been hit by power cuts as high winds and heavy rain caused waters to rise and trees to fall. residents of this row of houses in aberdulais have been advised to leave and the rest of the village is on standby to evacuate, too, if conditions worsen. there were high winds and high seas elsewhere too. here at penzance in cornwall, and on the west coast of ireland. the forecasters and the emergency services are continuing to monitor storm callum on its slowjourney north and there could well be more delays, disruption and damage for those on the west side of the british isles. ben ando, bbc news. more on that throughout the

programme, a weather forecast is coming up in about ten minutes time. the united nations secretary—general antonio guterres hasjoined growing international calls to know the truth about the disappearance of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi. turkey says it has evidence that he was murdered inside saudi arabia's consulate in istanbul. turkey says it has evidence that he was murdered inside saudi arabia's consulate in istanbul. but the country's interior minister described allegations that his country was responsible as lies. our reporter bill hayton has the details. jamal khashoggi walked through this door 11 days ago and was never seen again. leaks to localjournalists suggest turkish police have documented evidence that he was interrogated, tortured and murdered within these walls. translation: government officials say they are going to publish the evidence soon. police have all the evidence, except for one thing — where is the body? that is what they are investigating. as investigations continue

into what happened in these buildings, senior saudis have denied the claims. interior minister prince abdulaziz called them "baseless allegations and lies," but the head of the united nations says he is concerned about a breakdown in international law and order. i'm feeling worried with this apparent new normal because these kind of incidents are multiplying and it's absolutely central to make sure that the international community says clearly that this is not something that can happen. and the fact that khashoggi was an american resident has also put the us government in a difficult position. donald trump has said he won't cancel a $110 billion arms deal with saudi arabia, despite the allegations. the country is an important partner for western governments — many will attend a big investment summit there later this month. however, as several major media organisations and business leaders have already pulled out,

more may follow, depending on the news from istanbul. bill hayton, bbc news. an amnesty is being launched by the nhs to stop thousands of nearly new crutches and wheelchairs going to waste. patients will be able to return equipment for re—use or donation to charity. hospital bosses say it's to reduce costs and impact on the environment. jo black reports. crutches, walking frames, wheelchairs. if you're injured or struggling to walk, they're invaluable, but many of us are hanging onto these devices and cluttering up our homes. now, we're being encouraged to give them back. health bosses say returning equipment like this not only saves the nhs money but also helps to reduce waste. within our budget, that's £125 billion. to date, this perhaps has been seen as a small value item, that the cost of things like crutches is relatively low compared to many of the other things that the nhs is dealing with,

so i don't think it's had sufficient priority within the nhs. a set of crutches costs approximately £7. a walking frame, around £18. figures provided by the department of health show that last year, 212 trusts spent £61; million on walking aides, and half of that was on crutches. here at the mid essex hospital trust, reusing and recycling equipment is a big thing. around 2,000 pieces have been returned this year — that's a saving of £25,000. but returning nhs equipment can be confusing. there's no national policy. some hospitals tell people they don't need the items brought back, and quite often, patients forget they have even got them. yes, they are some of the cheaper and smaller items used by the nhs but if returned, they could make a big difference. jo black, bbc news. thousands of incurable breast cancer

patients are being denied a dedicated specialist nurse, according to a leading charity. three years ago, the government promised all cancer patients would have access to a designated nurse by 2020, but figures from breast cancer care show that almost three quarters of nhs trusts across the uk are not providing them. the department of health said it is "committed to increasing the capacity" of specialist cancer nurses, but the charity says more needs to be done. people with incurable breast cancer are going through a lot of different treatments from a lot of different departments within the nhs and what they need is a single point, single person that can support them through thatjourney. they need someone who they can call hour — out of hours whenever they have a question, and they need someone who can provide the emotional support around the medical treatment that they're also getting. without this, unfortunately, people are being left in the dark. at least eight climbers have died on a mountain in nepal

after their camp was devastated by a violent snowstorm. it happened on mount gurja in the west of the country. some of the victims were members of a south korean expedition team. an outbreak of the disease myxomatosis is being reported in british hares for the first time. scientists at university of east anglia fear it could infect them in a similar way to rabbits, killing huge swathes of the population. they want members of the public to help by reporting sightings of obviously sick and dead hares. fracking for shale gas could begin today in lancashire after a failed legal challenge against energy firm cuadrilla. campaigner bob dennett took his fight to the high court but lost the case. it will be the first instance of fracking in the uk since 2011 when it was linked with earthquakes. wedding celebrations will continue today for princess eugenie and jack brooksbank, who married yesterday at st george's chapel in windsor.

the queen was amongst 850 guests at the ceremony and watched as the ninth in line to the throne was given away by her father, prince andrew. daniela relph has more. the very public first kiss as husband and wife for princess eugenie and jack brooksbank. and the young bridal party coped well with all the attention, on what was a blustery berkshire day. looking on was the bride's mother, sarah duchess of york, very much back in the midst of the royal family on her daughter's wedding day. the ceremony was a mix of celebrity and royalty. alongside the queen and duke of edinburgh in st george's chapel were younger members of the royal family and showbiz friends of the newly—weds. i, eugenie victoria helena... ..take thee, jack christopher stamp...

..to my wedded husband. this is a wedding of several receptions and parties. yesterday, the couple left their first reception, hosted by the queen, in an aston martin. clearly not designed to accommodate a wedding dress. the car is one ofjust eight made for the james bond film spectre. there was then an evening party hosted by prince andrew at his home within windsor great park. it was windsor‘s second royal wedding of the year — a more low—key affair, but with a familiar choreography. and it isn't quite over. today comes the final celebration — a more informal party, rumoured to have a fairground theme. daniela relph, bbc news, windsor. there were lots of guests at the ceremony and lots of photographs coming through. robbie williams was one of the celebrity guests at yesterday's service but it was his daughter theodora who made the headlines.

she has! there she is in the middle. she was clearly enjoying her big day at the royal wedding as a flower girl and was involved in a cheeky exchange with sarah, duchess of york. what are you doing here?|j what are you doing here? i am the bright‘s mother. —— bride. what are you doing here? i am the bright's mother. -- bride. get her on the x, i think! -- get her on the x factor, i think! back to one of our main stories. un secretary general antonio guterres is demanding a proper investigation into the disappearance of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi. saudi arabia has repeatedly denied responsibility. last night, the saudi interior minister described claims his country was responsible as "baseless lies" but turkey says it has documentary evidence mr khashoggi was murdered inside the kingdom's consulate in istanbul. the editor of the news website middle east eye,

david hearst, knewjamal khashoggi. he joins us from central london now. good morning and thank you for joining us. i know you knew him well and she saw him recently. colourful little bit about the sort of person he was. a modest man. he was a good journalist, extremely well connected. we worked closely together on stories about saudi arabia. it was a friend for four yea rs, arabia. it was a friend for four yea rs , we arabia. it was a friend for four yea rs, we always arabia. it was a friend for four years, we always met at conferences and he was the sort of guy who really did not pretend to know something he didn't. he was good on his sources, he obviously had a purpose in speaking out. he hated being called a dissident. he regarded himself as a saudi loyalist. but he eventually broke with the regime in saudi arabia over some mild comments he made about donald trump so i was really shocked

when he disappeared. had that at all made him fearful? he did not express fear to me when i saw him the saturday before he disappeared but he met another friend saturday before he disappeared but he met anotherfriend in london and he met anotherfriend in london and he was uneasy. he was always very wa ry he was uneasy. he was always very wary about traps or walking into them. and he was also an insider, it has to be remembered he worked for two saudi embassies in london and washington. so he knew the system from the inside. and he thought he knew the rules but he obviously made a huge, huge mistake walking into a trap. and what do you make of what happened, and were it happened? well, i get my information from the turks and turkish intelligence and they are absolutely sure they know what happened. they have video, they have audio. jamal was wearing an apple watch which was sink to an

iphone and the iphone had lived with his fiancee who was outside —— synced. apparently they got audio through that and there were cameras in the rooms of the turks tell me he went straight to the consul general‘s offers with the consul general in it. he was then dragged by two men to another room where they beat him up, tortured him and killed him. he was dragged to another room where he was dismembered with a bone saw. it is extremely harrowing details. we will get those details, i think next week. selected journalists will be shown this stuff. i don't want to see it. it is horrendous. but they are absolutely certain jamal see it. it is horrendous. but they are absolutely certainjamal died and they know the room in which he died. i mean, the details which you have told us are truly shocking. what do you make of the fact that this happened in a consulate as well? well, it really does show what this

regime is capable of doing. well, it really does show what this regime is capable of doingm well, it really does show what this regime is capable of doing. it has happened to other people, but this time it has been documented. it has been documented to someone who has a very public profile with lots of friends in washington. what is really going to happen is, really, the court in which this is being played out is in washington. the turks are trying to persuade the us to put pressure on the saudis. but it shows you the nature of what is going on in saudi arabia. a huge difference between the reality and the pr image of this guy being a young reformer who lets women drive. this is the sort of thing, this is the reality of what is going on in saudi arabia... sorry to interrupt you. saudi arabia have repeatedly

denied these allegations. they insist that he left the building. what do you think happens from here? we can see that the international community, getting more and more involved in the story, what do you think happens next?|j involved in the story, what do you think happens next? i think these tapes and the audio will be released, in some form. and there will be an attempt by, i think, the king to put a firewall around his son. the next question is, who ordered this murder? 15 guys turned up ordered this murder? 15 guys turned up in two private planes. they were from an elite unit. some of them from an elite unit. some of them from an elite unit. some of them from a bodyguard around mbs, mohammed bin salman, the crown prince, then having established the fa ct prince, then having established the fact that a murder took place on the consulate premises, in this fashion, in its question will be, who ordered it? and there will be an attempt to

put a firewall around the crown prince and his advisers... sorry. we are slightly short of time. thank you very much indeed. david hearst, editor of middle east eye. obviously so editor of middle east eye. obviously so many editor of middle east eye. obviously so many unknowns editor of middle east eye. obviously so many unknowns with regard to what happened. we will continue covering the story on bbc breakfast. a lot of people waking up to, a lot of mess out there today after some or high winds overnight. and more blustery rainstorms. there is more to come, alina. we are not out of the woods yet. good morning to you. storm callum may have exited the uk, but in its wa ke may have exited the uk, but in its wake it has left storm went —— strong winds. across east anglia and south—east england, warm conditions. storm callum is well away to the north. there is this trailing slow—moving fronts across southern scotland, down through england and

into wales and the south—west single. in south wales we have an amber warning for further heavy rain in excess of 160 millimetres by the end of the day. this is the earlier rainfall radar. it keeps on feeding in through the worst england, wales, northern england, and slowly this whole area of rain will shift further north through the day. the heaviest rain will continue across other parts of wales. heavy rain for this spa south—west of england. a little showery further east, towards somerset. heavy rain is going through the day. moves into cumbria, at rates of rain for northern ireland. not as windy. the wind is not as strong for scotland. gusts of up not as strong for scotland. gusts of up to 60 mph for parts of wales and south—west england through the afternoon. meanwhile, south and east, sunshine. temperatures up to 25 celsius. the west, more like 18 or 19. northern ireland and scotland, 12— 1a celsius. for a time

this evening, the rain eases off for a bit, continues across northern ireland and scotland. more heavy rain arise in parts of south—west england and wales lead in the night. imild if england and wales lead in the night. i mild if not warm night. temperatures not as high as the night is gone. —— and other warm. another friends are still with us. it is starting to shift eastwards. the warm air still with a —— front. behind it something cooler and fresher through the afternoon. slowly that rain will move eastwards into parts of north—east england. it may linger across east anglia and south—east england in the afternoon. behind it spells of sunshine. much dry. the winds ease. temperatures will slide away. 12— 17 celsius by tomorrow. the wrinkled across parts of south—east england. —— the rain could linger. outbreaks of rain riding into the north and west through tuesday. should be drierfor

the south and east. this is what is happening deceiving. this is hurricane leslie heading towards iberia. it should bring some very strong winds and heavy rain across portugal and spain. it moves through fairly quickly at that i built in behind it. it is all happening weather wise over the next 2a hours. back to you. isn't it. thank you for giving it all under control. we have talked to people who have been on flood watch an evacuation watch in south wales. i hope we can get the latest from their very shortly. as most of us probably know, as we get older our bodies become more stiff and it becomes harder to move. now a hospital in cambridge has come up with a plan to alleviate the problem, by getting their patients to dance. and findings suggest it's improving morale as well as mobility. katie silver went along to take a look. are we ready? this is what we are

doing. we arejust are we ready? this is what we are doing. we are just finding ways, twinkling fingers, bringing in a little bit of movement. the class sta rts little bit of movement. the class starts at slow, but after not too much time there is feet tapping, partner dancing, and even a singalong. all the tunes of rock instruments. it is part of a that has been going on for two years at cambridge university hospital. bringing professional dancers to regular sessions on wards. some of it was around improving balance and co—ordination and muscle strength. a lot of it around well—being. the bat somebody feels the more likelihood there is they won't fall. -- be better. dance sessions are done in a number of wards, mostly with the elderly. it is strange. we haven't done it before. did you enjoy the dancing? yeah. a lot of a little bit? a little bit. while it is not

yet convinced, preliminary research suggests it is having an impact. we found that for those taking part over 75% of people's mood improved from the beginning of the session to the end of the session. they are also finding it may help with physical rehabilitation after a stroke. good afternoon, mr ford. this consultant geriatrician says he is in the dark sessions make a real change in some of his patients. one patient that really strikes me, as though a light had flipped on in his brain, and he was a different man. —— dance sessions. feel what it is like to be in an old person's body and what it is like to dance, alistair has the frailty suit. how does it work? the weights will give you this sensation of having arthritis and issues will give you the sensation of neuropathy. you won't know where your beta and will feel more unsteady on your feet. along with the weights and shoes,

there are earplugs for deafness, glasses that stimulate cataracts, and gloves that give a park in some slight tremor. waiting down everywhere, i have roots that are hard to walk in, i am shaking in my hands, i cannot even see a “— shaking in my hands, i cannot even see a —— weighted down. i will take is. iama see a —— weighted down. i will take is. i am a bit dizzy. ifound the suta really difficult to bear. it is programmes such as suta really difficult to bear. it is programmes such as this one that are working to make the physical changes of growing old that little less challenging. katie silva, bbc news, cambridge. it looks like a really good idea. oyster reefs are amongst the most endangered marine habitats on earth. around 85% of them have been lost over the last two centuries. now, a team in scotland is attempting to change this by rebuilding oyster reefs in the dornoch firth that were fished to extinction more than 100 years ago. it's the first time it's ever been attempted and bill sanderson who is leading the project is here. bs air. good morning to you. you

have brought in some examples. —— he is here. you'll make the seabed looked more like this. that is right. we have embarked on this project to restore oysters in dornoch firth. what is missing is the actual habitat itself. we have had to rebuild the habitat with weight shell material. this week we have been feeding adults, european flat oysters onto the seabed. you have done an experiment before, with just a few of them, but the numbers we are talking about are huge. we are revving up at the moment. we have done some survival studies first to make sure they would survive. we established that oysters used to be in the system, for up to wa ke yea rs. used to be in the system, for up to wake years. now we have started to rebuild those habitats —— up to 8000 yea rs. rebuild those habitats —— up to 8000 years. yours rebuild those habitats —— up to 8000 yea rs. you rs oysters rebuild those habitats —— up to 8000 years. yours oysters are going out in the next few months. we will ramp up in the next few months. we will ramp up to 200000 and then millions. why is this important? this is part of a

project between ourselves, a university, and a distillery on the edge of dornoch firth. and with the marine conservation society. the protected area, dornoch firth, is in quite good condition. but what we wa nt to quite good condition. but what we want to do is to restore the biodiversity. oysters are filter feeders. they will improve water quality as well. just explain to us, the ones you are putting in are called european flat oysters will stop is that right? there is an invasive species, is there? that is right. by security is very important. we are introducing the flat oyster. this is the pacific oyster. we don't want to bring this species in. neither do we want any other hitchhikers along the way. hitchhikers! that would be the invasive species. that is the invasive species. that is the invasive species. that is the invasive species. and it is important they are not here. that is right. we are try to create a

natural habitat where it has long been lost. that is the novelty of this. we are notjust enhancing biodiversity, we are going back to a blank canvas and putting in a mystic —— missing jigsaw piece. blank canvas and putting in a mystic -- missing jigsaw piece. the figures, 85% of oyster reefs have been lost over the decades. you have a loss of making up to do, haven't you? is a loss of making up to do, haven't you ? is it a loss of making up to do, haven't you? is it possible to get close to that again? we are going one step at a time, obviously. we are starting with dornoch firth. there are places like the firth of forth near edinburgh, where the oyster bed used to be about the size of the present city of edinburgh. it was huge there. just tell us, as well, they won't be fixed, will they? they are just there to restore the environment, not to be taken out and eaten. that is right. there are two main functions we are interested in. one is the biodiversity, they create structure on the seabed and places for other things to live in, and because they are filter feeders they

improve water quality. that is why the distillery is interested. they wa nt to the distillery is interested. they want to become neutral in terms of detrimental effects. when we talk about environment or projects, often the ones that capture imaginations involve cute animals or creatures. looking at these figures, be shell isa looking at these figures, be shell is a nice, but they don't give us that emotional connection in the same way. is that a battle for you in try to persuade the general population that oysters matter any to be reintroduced ? population that oysters matter any to be reintroduced?” population that oysters matter any to be reintroduced? i don't know. i suppose out of shellfish they are one of the species we connect to, we do connect to oysters. there are other species that live in these habitats. they are probably other commercially important species that would happily take a home for it. they become self seeding and you start it and they will grow under roman vitello that is the idea. we believe once we get to about 4 million oysters it will become self—sustaining. —— they will grow on their own. they will link

together. i suppose the challenge will be making sure they are not fished, that they are protected. will be making sure they are not fished, that they are protectedm the dornoch firth there are conservation orders that prevent extraction. that will protect them. and the entrance to dornoch firth is a bombing range for the raf. they do live firing. it restricts a vessel movement in and out. we are co mforta ble movement in and out. we are comfortable that the chances of it being poached are quite low. very interesting talking to you. thank you for bringing in the props as well. it is nearly 7:30 a.m.. stay with us. it is nearly 7:30 a.m.. stay with us. the headlines are coming hello, this is breakfast with louise minchin and jon kay. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. storm callum is continuing to cause flooding and high winds as drivers and rail passengers in some parts of the uk are being warned not to travel. one village in south wales is on evacuation alert because of rising floodwaters and passengers had to be rescued from a train yesterday after it became stranded. around 3,000 homes are without power. the united nations secretary—general

antonio guterres hasjoined growing international calls to know the truth about the disappearance of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi. turkey says it has evidence that he was murdered inside saudi arabia's consulate in istanbul but the country's interior minister described allegations that his country was responsible as lies. patients are being urged to return crutches, walking frames and wheelchairs to the nhs so they can be reused or recycled. £6.4 million was spent on new equipment last year. the department of health says the amnesty will help it save money and reduce the impact on the environment. thousands of patients with incurable breast cancer are being denied a dedicated specialist nurse, according to a leading charity. three years ago, the government promised all cancer patients would have access to a designated nurse by 2020, but figures from breast cancer care show that almost three quarters of nhs trusts across the uk are not providing them. the department of health said it is "committed to increasing

the capacity" of specialist cancer nurses, but the charity says more needs to be done. at least eight climbers have died on a mountain in nepal after their camp was devastated by a violent snowstorm. it happened on mount gurja in the west of the country. some of the victims were members of a south korean expedition team. fracking for shale gas could begin today in lancashire after a failed legal challenge against energy firm cuadrilla. one campaigner took his fight to the high court but lost the case. it will be the first instance of fracking in the uk since 2011 when it was linked with earth tremors felt near by. —— when it was linked with earth tremors felt nearby. for the first time in its history, britain's most remote community will finally have a reliable 24—hour electricity supply.

fair isle has a population of 55 people and sits halfway between the islands of orkney and shetland. previously, lights went out between 11:30 at night and 7:30 in the morning. but now, thanks to wind turbines, solar panels and a set of batteries, power can last around the clock. we are trying to get hold of them this morning. seeing if they are up and watching us. clicking those switches must be a novelty. you must admire the dedication of those england fans, even though it was a punishment for croatia, they we re was a punishment for croatia, they were not allowed inside the stadium survey found the hillside to watch the game, you can watch it over the stadium through the fence. we have some shots of it. i suppose it was nice weather and croatia is a nice place to visit for a weekend away. a long wait to go though. —— way.

england's first match behind closed doors was lacking in goals as well as atmosphere but they should have won their uefa nations league match in croatia. fans were locked out of the stadium, in rijeka because croatia were being punished for the appearance of a swastika on their pitch a couple of years ago. as for the match, england hit the post and the bar and twice, marcus rashford forgot how to finish when had only the keeper to beat. and so, it was england's 21st century boy jadon sancho, making his much—anticipated debut, who came on as a sub to add some late sparkle — the first england player to be born this century. i think the application of the players was superb, really. you know, there was no letup in their work ethics throughout the game. defensively, they were really strong. showed good enthusiasm to play. and i thought our performance was really good. so the only disappointment is that we didn't take one

of the chances that we had. but i'm really pleased with the way that we played. northern ireland's nations league hopes suffered a major setback as west ham's marko arnautovic condemned them to a 1—0 defeat in austria, their second defeat in as many games. after the rain washed out england's first match in sri lanka, the second one—day international is providing a proper test. it is nicely poised as well. afterjason roy was out in the first over, jonny bairstow steadied england with 26 before he was also dismissed. captain eoin morgan has been showing how it's done, sending a six into the dambulla crowd. he is unbeaten on 55. he was being supported byjoe root, with a fantastic 71, before he caught. so england, “iii/3 off 30 overs. maybe a little short of where they need to be. rugby union's european champions leinster have shown they won't give up their title lightly with a 52—3 mauling of wasps. the leinster fans didn't have to wait long for the first try as sean cronin sprinted

through the wasps' defence. in fact, the irish side ran in eight tries as they crushed wasps and secured a winning bonus point. jack mcgrath was the last to cross the line for the champions. it's the climax of the rugby league season today — wigan warriors against the warrington wolves in the super league grand final. the two met in this match two years ago with wigan coming out on top. it'll be the end of sam tomkins' wigan career after two spells with the club. and for warrington, a chance to banish a 63—year wait for a domestic title. as soon as i had decided i was going to leave the club, my focus was to wina to leave the club, my focus was to win a trophy and leave the way i did in 2013 which was really special and it isa in 2013 which was really special and it is a dream come true and if i could do it this year, it would be even more special but i'm not going to get ahead of myself, i know

exactly have the task at hand and it isa exactly have the task at hand and it is a big one because they have been good recently. it is massive, would be big for the club, a few of our lads have played in two or three and come up short so the club has never won it so to be pa rt of the club has never won it so to be part of it and make a bit of history would be massive to the club, for the players and something that we are really striving for. so that is the seasoning. —— so that is this evening. it will soon be the end of an era, on the slopes, because olympic skiing legend lindsey vonn says she will retire at the end of the season. the american had previously said she would only stop skiing once she had broken the world record, of 86 world cup victories. vonn, so far, has 82. that is really whetting the appetite for anybody on a skiing holiday this winter. with three holes remaining of her third round, england's charley hull is tied for the lead at the lpga event in south korea. she's on an 11—under par with a leaderboard packed with major winners.

while at the british masters, eddie pepperell has a 3—shot lead at the halfway mark. he followed up thursday's hole in one with another solid round at walton heath. the likes ofjustin rose, francesco molinari, and tommy fleetwood are well down the leaderboard. this is why fleetwood is struggling. a wayward shot from the overnight leader. into the bushes and the rough and the crowd couldn't find it so he slipped right back. not sure what the wildlife is like in surrey, they don't have many of these monotremes there. disk beauty! this is an event in malaysia. —— thatis this is an event in malaysia. —— that is a beauty! you would let him have his way on the course, wouldn't you. absolutely. usain bolt could be one step closer to his dream of being a professional footballer — he's scored his first goals! he scored twice for the central coast mariners in australia, unsurprisingly leaving the defence standing as he claimed his first. different sport but same trademark celebration. and he even managed a second as mariners won 4—0. you may have spotted, if you are

very eagle eyed, be assessed. —— the assist. providing the assist, former leeds and villa striker ross mccormack. the metropolitan police is defending a senior official accused of being a coward as the westminster terror attack unfolded around him. sir craig mackey witnessed the murder of pc keith palmer from a locked car, staying inside because he had no protective equipment. although the inquest heard sir craig had not been to blame, there are continuing calls for his resignation. joining us now from central london is dal babu, former chief superintendent with the metropolitan police. and chris phillips, former head of the national counter terrorism security office. thank you both indeed forjoining

us. thank you both indeed forjoining us. chris, it is hard for anyone to know how they would react in a situation like that but how would you like to think you would have handled the city had been in the car and scene is unfolding in front of you on westminster bridge?” and scene is unfolding in front of you on westminster bridge? i think the most thing to remember is it was the most thing to remember is it was the terrorists who did the bad deed that day but from a police perspective, it would have been nice, as the leader of the metropolitan police, to show a little bit more leadership on that day. i think he had the opportunity to become a hero in the eyes of his collea g u es to become a hero in the eyes of his colleagues and officers and instead of that, he kind of locked himself into the car and drove to a place of safety a nd into the car and drove to a place of safety and i think there is a bigger picture to this, i think the rank and file police officers have been looking for a lot of leadership, they feel as though the police have been decimated in the last ten years by the government that really have done a lot of damage and they were looking to leadership and i do not think he showed it on that day. and

what do you think? i worked in the house of commons and courage gate has been a vulnerable site also and if craig had got out, he would have been stabbed and killed. the two civilians in the car would have potentially been killed as well. because this terrorist, chris is right, we mustn't lose sight, the evil individual was the terrorist here. he was set on killing individuals. the whole incident was about 82 seconds, probably less than ten seconds in the area of the palace of westminster, and what the police need to now do is have a look at how the security ranges are around but, there was a lot of confusion in the inquest as to where the armed officer should have been, if they had been and courage gate, they would have taken out the terrorist as he entered or attempted to enter westminster sol terrorist as he entered or attempted to enter westminster so i think we need to shine a light on the security arrangement and i think it is very unfair that craig, akrotiri, a decent night, a committed police

officer, a public servant, 38 years, has been portrayed in this way —— sir craig mackey. if he had got out, and this is important, would he have beena and this is important, would he have been a hindrance when you have armed office rs been a hindrance when you have armed officers and you have somebody who is unfamiliar with the area and hey, what we need to be doing is taking out the terrorist and the armed office rs out the terrorist and the armed officers who were from the plot team, they were able to kill the individual who was carrying out the attack. going on from that because chris, the coroner agreed with what dal were saying, she defended his actions. does that satisfy you? let's be honest, i don't think it could have done anything to stop the terrorist attack taking place or keys being killed, no doubt about it. the rank and file would have wa nted it. the rank and file would have wanted is this leadership, he could have tried to do some first bad or hung around with his team and tried to bea

hung around with his team and tried to be a leader —— keith being killed. i think if you look at the social media of police officers and retired and serving police officers, it is the leadership that appeared to go missing on the day and of course, poor old craig would be feeling terrible about this because he was, you know, he saw a murder, he was, you know, he saw a murder, he thought of his team ‘s murdered. the officers at the scene probably would have liked more from him. resident dick said it is ignorant to attack so craig in the wake he acted. are you being ignorant —— cressida dick. i don't think so, i am voicing the feelings of the rank and file police officers and this is ata time and file police officers and this is at a time when the government has decimated uk policing. there has been a lack of leadership and i think there is a real feeling within the police service at the thing and managers have gone missing habitually vital time when the police is under pretty much a sustained attack from the old home secretary and prime minister and

they are looking to leadership, they wa nt they are looking to leadership, they want leadership, in cressida dick they have a great leader and i think they have a great leader and i think they would have a little bit more on that day. dal, can you understand the anger and some of what chris is saying, even if you do not agree with his entire argument? absolutely. the difficulty is there will be a lot of armchair heroes who saidl will be a lot of armchair heroes who said i would go out and do a bruce willis, but the reality of the situation is the terrorist who is pumped up, who has killed four people, who has no intentions of negotiating, is carrying two large knives, approaches pc keith palmer and pc keith palmer was a decorated officer, a copper's copper. even though he had a stab proof vest on and had a baton with him and gas spray, the difficulty here is if sir craig mackey had of got out, i'm certain he would have been murdered and the two civilians would have been and if i look back at some of

the things i did, i remember as a young officer going into a cafe and i was with an old team, there was a guy with a gun, we knew he had a gun, and he aims the gun at me and fired it and the bullet was stuck in a barrel. i look back at it and was ita a barrel. i look back at it and was it a pretty brave or stupid thing andl it a pretty brave or stupid thing and i think sometimes when you are a little bit older and more measured you look at what you can do in the bigger picture and if we could be, if we could have a different story here, if sircraig if we could have a different story here, if sir craig mackey had to the ca rd here, if sir craig mackey had to the card door and khalid masood had attacked him and then the two police office rs attacked him and then the two police officers who were not —— the two civilians who were not police office rs civilians who were not police officers or used to dealing with this situation, we could have had an entirely different outcome. you are watching breakfast. a good morning to you. here's alina with a look at this morning's weather. is all upside down. good morning. good morning. starting with some very high temperatures. further

the inter—governmental panel on climate change was the latest in a series of warnings about the risks of rising global temperatures. reflecting the scientific concensus on this controversial issue. among the guests discussing the panel's findings on that evening's newsnight was myron ebell who used to be donald trump's environmental advisor and now runs a think tank which campaigns on behalf of the us energy industry. he was questioned by evan davis. do you think the scientists, who reviewed these 6,000 papers to produce this latest publication — 86 lead writers — do you literally think they don't believe what they have said? is that your contention? they're climate campaigners first, at the highest level. wow! but you're a climate campaigner more than they are. they're not even paid, these guys. you're paid. they're not paid. it's absolutely... go on. the study says that we've had

about one degree of warming already. they don't consider the tremendous benefits that have flowed to humanity. sorry! again, you're trying to show you know more about the science than the scientists! some viewers thought myron ebell had no place as a guest on the programme, with dr mike ward writing... and the author philip pullman tweeted his agreement. the editor of newsnight, esme wren, took to twitter before the programme aired to say... that charge of false equivalence

refers to the bbc‘s perceived practice in the past of balancing the views of the majority of scientists, that significant, man—made climate change exists, with the minority who challenge that analysis. but achieving a balance of that kind is not now the bbc‘s policy, as was made clear by an internal briefing memo, sent to news staff last month, which found its way into the newspapers. one passage said... but that advice and monday's coverage did not go down

well with everyone. and nigel burn—murdoch seconded that. well, let's discuss how bbc news handles this contentious issue with richard burgess, its uk news editor. thank you for coming to newswatch. can you just sum up what exactly is the policy on giving airtime to climate change deniers now? i think the policy is clear

that the science is settled on climate change — it exists, there is no debate around that. so we're not going to create a false balance or a flase equivalence by getting a scientist on and then always getting a denier on. but that doesn't mean that we won't occasionally hear from dissenting voices within this debate, because there's debate beyond the actual science, there's debate around the intensity of climate change and then what to do about climate change. just to be clear — bbc news regularly did have on more climate change deniers in the supposed interests of balance. are you now admitting that you'd got that wrong? no, i think what we're saying is that the science is really clear and that we do not need to get on a denierjust to give some kind of, what we would describe as false equivalence. so the science is clear, we report the science. but there will be occasions where we get dissenting voices on. we're not going to shut out all viewpoints. there is some dissent on the science and that newsnight programme that viewers were commenting on,

the moment you have a denier on — even though it's supposed to be about policy — it always ends up being a debate about the science. so the question comes down to, should the bbc be giving climate change deniers any air time any more? i think that was really interesting that interview, because actually i think it was more interesting around the policy and the politics of the trump administration, which is important in the whole climate change debate. and evan asked him, "actually, is there anything the scientists can say that will change the opinion of the trump administration?" and he was really clear — "no." and when he tried to get into the scientific debate, evan closed him down really quickly, "you're not a scientist so we're not going to discuss that." so i think we really did gain some insight and some interesting perspective from that interview. the trouble is, some viewers are frustrated because — some of them contacted newswatch — they feel there is scientific doubt and they are unhappy at the assumptions made in the bbc‘s climate change reporting.

they were unhappy with the way evan davis was pressing. can you satisfy them? i think the point is, is that the vast majority of scientific... the science is settled over this, the vast majority of scientific opinion admits that climate change is happening, it's a man—made phenomenon. but can we satisfy everybody? no, but are we going to shut out dissenting voices? equally, no. but we're not going to create some kind of false equivalence between them. you say there's a scientific concensus and we're not going to have a debate about that, but because the effects of it are still being discussed as something that will happen and not something that has happened, necessarily, there are people and there are viewers who say, i'm sorry, i think there's still a legitimate debate about the science. and ijust wonder if the bbc can ever win this? i think we have to reflect the debate around what we're going to do about this and the intensity of it, but when you have the overwhelming majority of scientific opinion being really clear that man—made climate change exists, then i think it's

important we relfect that. as we said at the beginning, the bbc has now put out a new memo and there is training guidance happening for news staff. so can you explain what that involves and what difference viewers might see and read in their coverage? i think it's an attempt to explain to staff some of the changes in policy, research, science and to try and counteract some of the misconceptions that can be made around global warming and climate change. we have offered some guidance, there's some training, as well, and it's just to make sure our staff are making informed decisions on this important issue. would it include things like "these people are not to be booked"? for example? no, no. as i said before, we're not excluding viewpoints from this discussion. what we're also not doing is creating this false balance that i've been talking about. richard burgess, thank you very much.

if last week's news was dominated by theresa may's dancing at the conservative party conference, it was two other dancers who hit the headlines this week. i made a mistake. which i'm very sorry for. i'm sorry for the hurt that i caused. you never think about the extent of the damage that you're going to do. strictly come dancing contestant seann walsh and katya jones were photographed kissing on a night out in london. the attention given to their encounter by bbc news was judged excessive by many viewers. finally, audiences tuning into the news channel on wednesday

might have seen this introduction from ben brown. hello, you are watching afternoon live, today at 2:00. the trouble was, it wasn't 2:00, it was 3:00, and as you could see from the caption at the top of the screen, that with the recorded repeat of the previous entry's output. why wasn't afternoon live actually live? a statement was put out saying... it emerged that the problem lay with the failure of open media, the new software which was brought in to create scripts and running orders and to generate video clips and camera instructions. although the news channel was back live at 11:00, it became clear as six o'clock

approached it would not be possible to broadcast the early evening bulletin from here, new broadcasting house, as normal. so fiona bruce along with mark easton hotfooted it to westminster from clear she presented the news that six in an unfamiliar studio with a different backdrop, but not before the two of them had flagged down a passing police car and been given an escort after getting stuck in rush—hour traffic. thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions on bbc news and current affairs or appear on the programme, you can call us on... ore—mail us at... you can find us on twitter and have a look at our website. that's all from us, we'll be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news
