this is bbc news. the headlines at 11am: nearly 30 flood warning are in place as heavy rain from storm callum continues to cause disruption across south wales. as you can see, the river is still a lot higher than it usually is. usually you can see about a 12 foot drop down to the river but at the moment it is almost reaching the top of the bridge. the head of the un demands "the truth" over the disappearance of the saudi arabian journalist jamal khashoggi. it is absolutely central to make sure that the international community says clearly that this is not something that can happen. the fracking firm cuadrilla has confirmed it won't carry out fracking today at its site near blackpool, citing bad weather as the cause of the delay. also coming up this hour. a nurse shortage for terminal breast cancer patients. new figures reveal nearly three quarters of nhs trusts across the uk fail to provide dedicated nurses. and dateline london in half an hour looks forward to

next week's european summit, which could produce a brexit deal. 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 valleys 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. i'm joined in the studio by one of our weather presenters, alina jenkins. it's a very confusing picture

nationally because they see terrible disruption in parts of south wales and the west of the country but in the east of the uk it feels like a very pleasant october day. the east of the uk it feels like a very pleasant october daym the east of the uk it feels like a very pleasant october day. it is all about contrasts. you have got 25 celsius across east anglia. it is windy across the uk and we have seen guests windy across the uk and we have seen gu ests of windy across the uk and we have seen guests of 86 mph yesterday. storm callu m guests of 86 mph yesterday. storm callum has now actually moved away to the north. if we look at the graphics, it is an area of low pressure well to the north of the uk. it is a bit of tug of war between those two systems, so you have this really slow—moving front, and this is where the concern is. we still have this amber warning across south wales because the rain will keep on piling in along the front and we could see in excess of 160 millimetres across parts of the brecon beacons. it gives you the

idea of the amount of rainfall in 48 hours. people are being told they could face evacuation overnight. presumably if the water levels continue, the problem is the risk of rivers bursting their banks. that could well be an issue. we have this amber warning could well be an issue. we have this amberwarning in could well be an issue. we have this amber warning in place until six o'clock this evening. the figures we are talking about is around 160 millimetres, what the potential impact it will be when it hits the ground, it can change from hour to hour, but at the moment there are 32 flood warnings, that is the second level of flood warning. we could see from the picture is a little earlier. what is the picture looking like as this front moves away, once we get beyond six o'clock this evening? the warning is valid until six o'clock but the rain eases off for a six o'clock but the rain eases off fora time, and six o'clock but the rain eases off for a time, and then another pulse comes through the early hours. it is not going to be clear until tomorrow

morning, when we will start to see that rain easing away, the wind will drop, it will become drier, and then the rain will linger across eastern parts of england, but we have got another 2a hours of rain, notjust gci’oss another 2a hours of rain, notjust across south wales, but england and scotland. but the main concern is for southern parts of wales. so people need to keep an eye on you information on the bbc weather website. listen to local radio, keep up website. listen to local radio, keep up to date with your forecasts as well because it is a changing picture. we will have a forecast every half an hour. but it does look like the greatest concern is going to be across south wales and north—west england as well. to be across south wales and north-west england as well. after all that balmy and benign weather during the summer, we had almost started to take it for granted. thank you very much. 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. fracking for shale gas will not begin today after bad weather caused delays. energy firm cuadrilla has drilled

two wells at its site in lancashire, and will try to start again on monday. the company was given the go ahead to start fracking after a failed legal challenge. 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. let's go now to linsey smith, who joins us from the preston new road site. it is pretty windy there, no great surprise that they have had to call it off. it is, as you say, though whether it is the only thing that stopped fracking commencing today and there will be many attempts to stop it over recent years and weather permitting it shall go ahead on monday. if we take a few steps back, fracking is the process of forcing a liquid underground at high speed, high pressure, to break the shale rock underneath the earth's service, and in doing that it releases gases and oil that can be

harnessed as fossil fuels. they have been many attempts to stop it over the years. it was temporarily banned in 2011 for what was believed to be causing minor earthquakes in lancashire and that was the last time that it happened here. you can see the protesters behind me. the failed attempt in the high court yesterday has not put them off. it wasn't only those minor earthquakes that caused concern here, there are also concerns that it can cause pollution to the waterways and noise and traffic pollution, but yesterday in court, thejudge said and traffic pollution, but yesterday in court, the judge said there was no grounds for that, no evidence, and that fracking could go ahead. some people will say the uk should be focusing their attention on more green, renewable energies, but the counter argument is that as a nation we do use fossil fuels and it is more favourable to use the resources we have in the uk rather than relying on foreign imports. there is

a lot of tension here and there is a police presence and you can only imagine that is going to increase as we head towards monday. fracking will not happen tomorrow as the license does not allow it to happen ona license does not allow it to happen on a sunday, but mendes, weather permitting, it could start. thank you very much. cuadrilla is hoping to beat fracking on monday. 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. 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. i'm joined now by gunes kalkan, breast cancer care's head of policy and campaigns. thank you for being with us this morning. were you surprised when you did this and saw the figures that came back? i think we were. we did this research which has shown that almost three quarters of health boards and hospital trusts across great britain are not providing a dedicated specialist nurse for people with in durable breast cancer. what this means is that thousands of people are being denied access to crucial case that will help them to feel supported and live well for as long as possible and as a result we are calling on the government to provide funding to

train and recruit more specialist nurses. what is the problem? is it a lack of will or is it a lack of the qualified people to do this job?|j think what we have found is, with the nhs being overstretched at the moment, there is a lack of funding and that means there is a lack of specialist nursing for the group we are talking about. at the same time, at the hospital level, that is also need to be more priority given to people with in durable breast cancer and we want to work with those hospitals to try and help train up their nurses. why does this dedicated nurse, set matter so much to people with them in durable disease? we know that it is absolutely vital. we know that having access to a dedicated nurse is the most important factor in improving people's experience of having cancer. they are the single point of contact of people with in durable breast cancer. people are being passed from pillar to post,

having ongoing treatment in different departments. that is the person they can get to know to provide that emotional support, that you can call out of hours, and that makes a huge difference. the government made this commitment and put a date on it of 2020, so we are still 18 months of. is there time to close the gap or does it now have to acknowledged that it can't meet this particular target and perhaps it needs to shift the timetable a bit? i think it is unlikely it will be met. we did a similar piece of research two years ago and there has been very little movement so it will been very little movement so it will be difficult in 18 months to meet that pledge. at the same time there is an nhs long—term plan that is being developed and there is a real opportunity through that to make sure there is funding. and what about the desire among nurses to do this work? do you have a sense of, it is obvious to see the value to

the patient, but do you detect a desire for nurses to want to undertake this? absolutely. we support a number of nurses across hospital trusts that tell us they wa nt to hospital trusts that tell us they want to do more of this work but they simply don't have the time or they simply don't have the time or they haven't been given the training, and when that is the case, people with the disease are not being given the support they need. thank you very much. 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. 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 aids, 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. 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. the indonesian government has ordered a stop to the search and rescue operations in palu city, hit by a devastating earthquake and tsunami two weeks ago. more than 2000 people died when sulawesi island was struck — and thousands more are still missing. the government says they will now concentrate on rebuilding the region. aid groups say the lack of clean drinking water and medical supplies remains a very real concern for 200,000 people in urgent need in palu. an outbreak of the disease myxomatosis is being reported in british hares for the first time. scientists fear it could infect hares in a similar way to rabbits, killing huge swathes of the population. countryfile's tom heap reports. myxomatosis is a viral disease 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... hares have no protection in this country. on 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.

sport now, and a full round up from the bbc sport centre. good morning. england's cricketers are on course to win 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 for nine might not be enough. however the england's bowlers are making sure it should be. three wickets for chris woakes and one for olly stone, they are 31 runs short of their target

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 ligue 1 with just 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 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 feel like the performance was really positive as a whole. obviously there is a lot of young players in the squad, looking to get their chance, keeping everyone on their chance, keeping everyone on their toes. i think you saw sancho, when he came on, was really positive. had a really positive impactand positive. had a really positive impact and was brave and took people on and that's what you want from young players. 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. it's been a brilliant day for england's charley hull in the golf. 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 winners. hull, who's still only 22 years old, hasn't faltered from the first round, despite the experrienced players around her. 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, well, they hope to win a first domestic title since 1955. great britain have picked up their first couple of medals at the youth olympics, in argentina, with bronze for windsurfer finn hawkins, and silver for gymnast amelie morgan. the 15—year—old was lying in fourth, at the halfway point of the all around competition, but her consistency earned her a place on the podium and she'll return today for the final of the vault and uneven bars.

iam i am absolutely over the moon. i came out here just expecting to do my best and to come away with a medal is even better. going into the beam routine, iwas medal is even better. going into the beam routine, i was so nervous, but i think beam routine, i was so nervous, but ithinki beam routine, i was so nervous, but i think i have learned how to control my nerves and think back to training, and just keep it under control. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's all the sport for now. now for the weather, with alina jenkins. we have seen some torrential and in places disruptive rainfall over the last 2a hours. more to come today. still some very strong winds. but across south—east england, it's going to be very warm. storm callum is now well to the north of the uk but it has left in its wake this almost stationary front. more rain through the day. particularly for

south wales, where we still have an amber warning from the met ‘s office, —— met office, valid until six o'clock. here is how the rest of saturday looks. always wettest through the north and west you are. some showers ahead of that rain. the further east you are, mainly dry with the best of the sunshine and temperatures reaching 2a or 25 celsius. but it is a windy day for all of us. these are the gusts this afternoon. further rain across south—west england. a little bit patchy for northern ireland but becoming more persistent as it works its way through scotland through the afternoon. not as windy for scotland and northern ireland. temperatures reaching 12 celsius. in england and wales, 22 celsius, south—east england, 2a or 25 celsius. very warm for the middle of october. the rain

continues to work its way northwards, easing off for a while across parts of wales, but more returns later in the night so a wet end of the night. mild for england and wales is. this front is still with us on sunday, slowly starting to clear eastwards. and it is also the dividing line between the warmth we have got across eastern areas and something cooler and fresher further north and west. but there will be more rain through the morning. slowly pushing its way northwards and eastwards through the day. the rain likely to linger for eastern counties. a cooler feel on sunday. temperatures between 12 and 18 celsius. still some rain lingering across south—east england on monday. but on tuesday, sunshine for the south and east, wetterfor the north and west. hello and a very warm welcome to dateline london. i'm jane hill.

this week we're asking what the west should do about the disappearance of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi, and looking forward to next week's european summit — which could produce a brexit deal. with me is iain martin, columnist for the times here in london. the frenchjournalist agnes poirier. the writer on arab affairs abdel bari atwan. and annalisa piras, the italian writer and filmaker. as we go to air, jamal khashoggi hasn't been seen for 11 days — since he entered saudi arabia's consulate in istanbul. the saudi government says accusations that it ordered the killing of the 59—year—old, who writes for the washington post and has been critical of the regime, aren't true. the secretary general of the united nations has demanded the truth and says whoever is involved must be held legally accountable. what should be the international response? abdel bari atwan, you've known khashoggi for 30 years. soa so a difficult topic for you to talk about. to be honest, as a middle

eastern journalist, i am sad and scared. sad because i know the man for the last 35 years. he's very decent. he is actually very objective, sometimes he takes a position which is pro—government, but when he realised the situation in saudi arabia when it comes to the freedom of expression, of human rights, when he realised it was unbearable, he raised his voice to say enough was enough. scared because it seems if this
