this is bbc news. the headlines... nearly 30 flood warning are in place as heavy rain from storm callum continues to cause disruption across south wales. the head of the un demands "the truth" over the disappearance of the saudi arabian journalist jamal khashoggi. it's absolutely essential to make sure that the international community says clearly that this is not something that can happen. patients are urged to return crutches, walking frames and wheelchairs to the nhs so they can be reused or recycled. also coming up this hour — is it time to say "ta ta" to the supermarket till? how customers may soon have to get used to a new way of paying for their shopping. an outbreak of myxomatosis is being reported in british hares for the first time — scientists fear it could kill off huge numbers. and in half an hour here on bbc news, it's an egypt extravaganza as the travel show visits cairo to check in on the construction of the grand egyptian museum. 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 flood waters — 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. our correspondent tomos morgan is in south wales — he sent this update on the disruption caused by storm callum. this rain has caused significant issues for travel across the whole of south wales. many roads closed, notjust this one, the a470, many others. arriva trains wales have also said there will be a reduced service today and advise passengers not to travel because of the bad weather. if the things continue we will see heavy flooding and this amber alert will still be in place until about six o'clock this evening across the whole of south wales. we were just speaking to the guys behind me that are trying to clear the roads. they were saying a bit further across the heads of the ralleys road, the flooding has

completely closed the main road that connects the top of the valleys because of the water that has come across it. of course, there are ways to clear it, they have some vehicles that can brush up and move the water. but really, if the rain does not stop, it will persist and the flooding willjust reoccur. as this rain continues, things will not get better until later on today. but of course there are other areas gci’oss south wales that have borne the brunt of storm callum. there's a village, aberdulais, in the neath valley where people were asked to evacuate their homes as a precaution due to the significant weather coming in overnight. as this weather continues, expect more scenes like this across the whole of south wales. as you've been hearing storm callum is expected to cause further disruption today. an amber warning for rain remains in place for parts of south wales until 6pm, with further flooding

and power cuts likely. as you can see here, there are currently 29 flood warnings in place in wales — most of them in the south. we'll keep you updated with all the latest weather warnings as and when we get them the united nations secretary general, antonio guterres, hasjoined growing international calls to reveal the truth about the disappearance of the saudi journalist, jamal khashoggi. turkey says it has audio and video 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. bill hayton reports: 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 essential 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. david hearst is the editor of the news website, middle east eye and knew jamal khashoggi. hejoins us now from north london. thanks forjoining us. did jamal khashoggi have any sense his life was in danger? not immediately before this happened. we were at a conference together in london and he seemed his normal, cheerful, honest self. he did say to another friend in londonjust before self. he did say to another friend in london just before that he was worried about surveillance that was around him. but he thought he knew the rules. jamal khashoggi was in a

sense not just the rules. jamal khashoggi was in a sense notjust a the rules. jamal khashoggi was in a sense not just a journalist the rules. jamal khashoggi was in a sense notjust a journalist but the rules. jamal khashoggi was in a sense not just a journalist but an insider, he worked with saudi embassies in london and washington. he made a calculated risk. what he didn't appreciate, i think, was what this particular regime would do and the lengths they would go to silence him. you've heard the remarks from the saudi interior minister saying this is all lies, that the saudis maintained that he entered the consulate and then left. turkey is saying you have do provide evidence of that, they have recordings a p pa re ntly of that, they have recordings apparently to the contrary. it is an incredibly murky business but if what is believed to have happened has indeed happened, hasn't this massively backfired for the saudi authorities? completely and no more so authorities? completely and no more so than in washington. i think donald trump and jared kusher, his son—in—law, have got a real problem if the turks do what they say and release the audio and video tapes. the turks have been extremely consistent thread the way, from the

very beginning, even when they thought he was still alive, that he never left the building. they had the place surrounded by cameras. they probably know what's going on inside the building itself because they were linked to the internal security system there. they are very insistent that he never left the building. there is no evidence of him having done so. there was his fiancee waiting his outside until ipm but the place was surrounded by cameras. they were insistent that treble did not leave on the flight into istanbul, —— jamal treble did not leave on the flight into istanbul, ——jamal khashoggi did not leave. the murder team, ifi can call it back come -- if --if| —— if i can call it that that, but their bags through. turkey have

effectively accused the saudis of killing this man inside the consulate with the saudi authorities deny. they are building 28 confrontation even though they are saying they are cooperating in an investigation? that is true but i think that is really a piece of window dressing. what is really happening is that the turks are claiming this out in the course of washington and are really putting pressure on the white house. they have already put a lot of pressure on the washington, dc establishment. we have had media organisations pulling out of this investment company in riyadh. the conference. we have had lobbyists pulling out and this is an undoing of all the millions that mohammad bin salman

has spent promoting himself in london and washington. but turkey now has to come up with this very grim evidence. if it does release it, this would put a grim complexion on the whole affair. if they have privately told turkish newspapers and the bbc and others that they have, whether we go from bad? it is very well to get produce an audio recording that alleges some one has been killed, to link that to the death of a name to individual, is a long stage further down the line? death of a name to individual, is a long stage further down the line7m is. if it is established that was jamal khashoggi was murdered. they say they know the room he was murdered. they know how he was cut up. they have the details of this and claim to have the details. if

this is established, the next argument will be about who is the murder team. what this something, who word murder team. what this something, word a? we know which part of the armed services they were drawn from, there were special forces people there, there were top forensic surgeon there that was sent in. we don't know who ordered the killings. then i think there will be this whole game about building a firewall around the crown prince. but me ask you... he has been promoted in the west as a reformer. we should be clear that saudi authorities are saying they know of no killings of jamal khashoggi, they are saying these of lies. let me ask you family, if he is dead, was steve think journalism family, if he is dead, was steve thinkjournalism has lost an critical comment has lost? —— what

do you think. the jamal i knew, i knew him forfour years, do you think. the jamal i knew, i knew him for four years, he was not a dissident when he hated the word, he was a patron and a normal voice. he didn't even want to overthrow the monarchy. he wanted them quietly and slowly to perform, to become a constitutional monarchy. it was asking for, as he put it, just the minimum. not asking for democracy or the end of the family, he is asking for free speech. that is what we deserve and that is what the reform plans, which he backed, deserve. he said is very moderate message that economic reform has to go in tandem with political reform. thank you. 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. rescue workers have uncovered the first body in the rubble of the florida town of mexico beach, which was nearly obliterated by hurricane michael when it tore into the south—eastern united states on wednesday. rescue teams, hampered by power and telephone outages, have been using dogs, drones and heavy equipment to hunt for hundreds of people unaccounted for in devastated communities across florida, virginia, georgia and north carolina. at least 18 people are thought to have died. michael has now been downgraded to a post—tropical cyclone. a man has died and another is seriously injured after a stabbing in hainault on friday night. one man was pronounced dead on the scene, and another was taken to hospital in a critical condition after the incident in north—east london.

meanwhile, in a separate incident in hackney, a man suffered gunshot injuries and was taken to hospital. police said it is believed he was shot at by two people on a moped. last month the total number of murders in london reached 100. 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 a 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 £6.4 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.

the headlines on bbc news... forecasters are warning more strong winds and torrential rain are on the way in northern ireland and western parts of britain from storm callum. the head of the un demands the truth over the disappearance of the saudi arabian journalist jamal khashoggi. patients are urged to return crutches, walking frames and wheelchairs to the nhs so they can be reused or recycled. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's mike bushell. i hope the weather is not disrupting your action too much. but this time into cricket because the first one date international was washed out by the weather but this latest one is in sunshine and hot. england's bowlers have put the tourists on top,

in the second one day international against sri lanka in dambulla. despite a knock of 92 from captain eoin morgan, it seemed england's total of 278—9 might not be enough however the hosts' openers have fallen apart. 3 wickets for chris woakes and one for olly stone, have reduced sri lanka to 35—4 in the 10th over. and don't forget you can keep across the action from dambulla on the bbc sport website and connected tvs with our new cricket social. thierry henry has in the last half an hour been confirmed as the new manager of french side monaco. the former arsenal striker had been linked with the managerial position at aston villa but will instead replace leonardojardim. monaco are third bottom of the french ligue1 withjust one win. henry says he's very happy to come back to the club he played for before joining arsenal. 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 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 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. great cross here. but nobody could get on the end of it. he is 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 ah, now—tovich, condemned them to a 1—0 defeat in austria. their second defeat in as many games. it's been a brilliant day for england's charley hull in the golf, and after round three of the lpga championship in south korea, she shares the lead. she birdied the last hole to finish 12 under par, so joint top of a leaderboard, that is packed with major wiinners. hull who's still only 22 years old, hasn't faltered from the first round, despite the experienced players around her. 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 seann cronin sprinting 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. today, bath have a tough challenge hosting toulouse at 1pm. english champions

exeter meet munster. in pool 4, scarlets host racing whilst leicester travel to ulster and at 3.15pm, edinburgh play montpellier less than a mile down the road from us here in salford, final preparations are being made at a soggy old trafford for super league's grand final. warrington play wigan in a repeat of the 2016 final — that wigan won. it's a swansong for wigan coach shaun wane who's departing after more than 30 years with the club as coach and player. for the wolves, they hope to win a first domestic title since 1955. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. you can update the cricket score by looking at the latest school work. the billboards for there as well. sri lanka are struggling in the

causing inflammation of the eyes, ears and lungs with death following extensive convulsions. it's been present in uk rabbits since the 1950s, often killing 99% of the population in an infected area. but now, similar symptoms have been seen in brown hares in different areas across east anglia with hares in distress, dying and unable to run from humans. britain's leading authority on hares and rabbits, dr diana bell from the university of east anglia is leading the investigations. i wasn't expecting myxomatosis in hares. and i really hope that... hres have no protection in this country. 0n the continent, there is a closed season for shooting hares, not in the uk, so what i would hope for is an immediate ban on hunting. the scientists are awaiting postmortem confirmation of the virus. that could tell them how itjumped

from one species to another and, most importantly, how virulent it could prove. tom heap, bbc news. bringing you a bit of breaking news. this has come from west midlands police. it is that a murder investigation has been launched in deadly after a man in his 20s was found stabbed to death in a car park in the town early on saturday morning. no more details on that at the moment but it's a man in his 20s, stabbed to death of a car park in dudley in the early hours. we will bring you more on that as soon as we get it. 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 0rkney and shetland. previously, lights went out between 11.30 at night and 7.30 in the morning. but now, thanks to wind turbines and solar panels,
