this is bbc news. the headlines at 3. president trump has a warning for saudi arabia — if claims it's involved in the murder of a saudi journalist are stood up. we are going to get to the bottom of it and there will be severe punishment. more than 30 flood warnings are in place, as storm callum continues to bring heavy rain and strong winds to many areas. the chancellor is coming under growing pressure from his own mps to find extra funding for universal credit. also in the next hour — worries about the hare population. an outbreak of myxomatosis is being reported in british hares for the first time. scientists fear it could kill off huge numbers. the first ever national album day — celebrating the country's love of vinyl across all genres of music. and in half an hour here on bbc news — click speaks to director sir peterjackson about his work bringing archive footage from world war one into the 21st century.

president trump has told the us tv programme 60 minutes that there will be severe punishment for saudi arabia if it's proved that its government was behind the disappearance of the journalist jamal khashoggi. but said he won't cancel big us military contracts with the kingdom. turkey says it has audio and video evidence that he was murdered inside saudi arabia's consulate in istanbul, but the saudi interior minister described allegations that his country was responsible — as lies. the united nations secretary general hasjoined growing international calls to reveal the truth about mr khashoggi's disappearance. 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. the 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. but the head of the united nations says that he's 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. let's hear what president trump had to say — he's been speaking to the us television show 60 minutes on cbs. jamal khashoggi, that the saudi journalist, was he murdered? by the

saudis, and did the prince give the order to kill him? nobody knows yet but we will probably be able to find out. it is being investigated, it is being looked at very strongly and we would be upset and angry if that we re would be upset and angry if that were the case. they deny it and deny it vehemently. could it be them? yes. your son—in—law got on the phone and asked the prince. did he deny it? they deny it every way you could imagine. in the not too distant future i think we will know an answer. let's say they did, what are your options, would you consider sanctions as a bipartisan group of senators proposed? it would depend oi'i senators proposed? it would depend on the sanctions. i give an example. they are ordering military weapons. everybody in the world wanted the order, russia, china, we wanted it. we got it and we got all of it. would you cut that of? what i do not

wa nt would you cut that of? what i do not want to do, boeing, lockheed martin ido want to do, boeing, lockheed martin i do not want to hurtjobs. i do not wa nt i do not want to hurtjobs. i do not want to lose an order like that and there are other ways to use a harsh word. but it is true. tell everybody what is at stake. there is a lot at sta ke. what is at stake. there is a lot at stake. maybe especially so because this man was a reporter. you will be surprised to hear me say that. there is something really terrible and disgusting about that if that were the case. we are going to get to the bottom of it and there will be severe punishment. aled scorefield is in south west wales which is feeling the brunt of storm callum. we will come back to that story later. but an update in the weather forecast also coming up at

half—past. pressure is mounting on the chancellor, philip hammond, to find extra money in the budget to support universal credit. the new system involves merging existing benefits into a single payment. this morning, one conservative suggested around 30 of her colleagues are concerned about how universal credit is working. the work and pensions secretary has admitted that some claimants will be worse off. political correspondent matt cole explained how the system is changing, and where the chancellor might be able to find the money for it. all existing claimants of the six benefits that will be rolled into universal credit will be moved onto the new all in one system next year but despite government promises of money to ease the transition there are fears some families could lose maybe £1800 per year per family. it is claimed they could be a need for up is claimed they could be a need for up to £2 billion to be pumped in by the chancellor to fix that. today we

heard from the conservative member of the work and pensions committee heidi allen who said she and at least 30 tory mps support the idea of pushing money in and that could spur the chancellor to act, not least as there are votes on the issue in the commons next month. it would give an opportunity for unhappy mps to rebel. the chancellor is also under pressure because theresa may said in her conference speech austerity was over so people are expecting. if he goes ahead and invests, where will the money come from? that is the big question, where he finds the cash. he intimated that while he is what he would call a low tax tory he has intimated he would put up taxes in the budget but while this would make these supporting cash into universal credit happy, it could make some tory mps who do not like taxes going

up tory mps who do not like taxes going up unhappy. we heard him mooted the idea that perhaps he would cut some relief on pensions savings. that has gone down badly. he has a fine balance tojudge. gone down badly. he has a fine balance to judge. some suggested the ma nifesto balance to judge. some suggested the manifesto commitment to raise the threshold of income tax might be quietly dropped to make more money but it is difficult decisions to make. we can return to the story of the storm. parts of the uk are facing a second day of travel disruption with 30 flood warnings currently in place — including 2 in scotland — as storm callum continues to bring heavy rain and strong winds. 2,000 homes and businesses in england are without power, with some flood defences breached. people in one village in south wales spent the night on evacuation alert because of rising water levels and passengers had to be rescued from a train stranded by flood water. tomos morgan reports. yeah, so it's streaming

through the middle of the house at the moment. and you've made a drainage way by taking out all of the... yeah, trying to keep it as central as possible. vicky's home has been ruined by storm callum. 0vernight the torrential rain that caused havoc across south wales has decimated herfamily home. i don't know how long it is going to take for it to go down. it is just waiting for everything to dry out, i guess, and see what happens from there. but a lot of people on the street don't have insurance or anything so i don't know what they will do. i'm not sure. the 29 houses on canalside where vicky lives were offered a voluntary evacuation last night, but all the residents refused and stayed with their belongings and homes. it is south wales that has borne the brunt of the storm. travel has been severely affected, with several roads remaining closed. here on the a470

between merthyr tydfil and the brecon beacons, ajcb has been called in to create extra drainage as water pouring down the mountain has been bringing debris with it, creating a huge risk for vehicles trying to pass on the road. train services have also been affected. a revised service is in place today. last night, these passengers had to be rescued from this train as the river burst its banks near aberdare. 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 the flood water. in carmarthen, thousands of homes have been without power and almost 80 flood alerts or warnings remain in place with the met office remain in place with the met office issuing an amber warning for heavy rain until this evening. for vicky and her neighbours, they are boxed in.

water flowing from the back of the houses and at risk of the canal overflowing from the front. their clean—up operation won't be able to begin until this latest storm has run its course. tomos morgan, bbc news, the vale of neath. let's take a look at other stories making the news this afternoon. small demonstrations have been taking place near a site in blackpool where fracking was scheduled to begin today. on friday, the high court rejected a last—minute challenge by environmental campaigners. the energy firm cuadrilla says bad weather has forced it to postpone drilling. it hopes to begin extracting gas from shale rock at the site on monday. thousands of patients with incurable breast cancer are being denied a dedicated specialist nurse, according to a leading charity. the government promised all cancer patients would have access to their own nurse by 2020. but according to figures gathered by breast cancer care, almost three—quarters of nhs trusts across the uk are not providing them. the department of health said it's "committed to increasing the capacity".

a man has died and another is seriously injured after a stabbing in hainault last 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. so far this year, the total number of murders in london has reached 100. thousands of people are taking part in an anti—far—right demonstration in the german capital of berlin. it's been organised by an alliance of political parties, trade unions and organisations all calling for solidarity and an open and free society. it comes after a number of far—right protests were held in cities across the country in recent weeks. let's speak to our correspondent, jenny hill, who's at the demonstration in berlin.

this demonstration is huge. even organisers have been rather surprised by the number of people who turned out on the streets of berlin today. we have spoken to a lot of them and they feel it is important to be here. there are tens of thousands. police thought maybe 40,000 but from the number we have seen 40,000 but from the number we have seen today i would say it may have exceeded their initial estimations. people are marching officially under the slogan that means indivisible. the official aim is to promote a free, fairand the official aim is to promote a free, fair and open society. it is organised by hundreds of groups and individuals, many of whom have different political leanings and agendas but almost without exception

eve ryo ne we have agendas but almost without exception everyone we have spoken to has said they are here because they are concerned about the impact and influence of the far right on german society and politics. there have been a number of big demonstrations loosely against the far right in germany and it comes at a time when germany and it comes at a time when germany has seen protests by the far right. think back to september and the violent scenes on the streets by far rightanti—migrant the violent scenes on the streets by far right anti—migrant protesters. this is designed to counter those attitudes. 0ne this is designed to counter those attitudes. one woman said in the crowd that she is ashamed germany is getting back reputation, those pictures that were beamed all over the world from that protest. she and others came out today because they wa nt to others came out today because they want to counter that reputation. what is key here is three years after angela merkel welcomed refugees into germany, migration politics is still a divisive subject and still has the power to bring

people onto the streets like this. 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 as a donation to charity. hospital bosses say it's to reduce costs and the 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 £6.4 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. the headlines on bbc news: president trump says

saudi arabia will be punished severely if claims it's involved in the murder of a saudi journalist are substantiated. strong winds and heavy rain brought by storm callum have continued to batter northern ireland and western parts of britain. the chancellor is coming under growing pressure from his own mps to find extra funding for universal credit. in sport, 0lly morgan leads by example as england win the second one—day international in sri lanka. morgan makes 92 in the rain affected game. bath were narrowly beaten by toulouse in the opening match of this season's european champions cup. and getting ready for the grand final, wigan and warrington and prepare to face each other in a super league season ending showdown at old trafford. we will have more sport in one hour.

bbc music is supporting the first ever national album day. the album was 70 years old earlier this year. i think it was injune. the aim of the day is to celebrate the uk's love of the album across all genres of music. despite competition and change in the music industry, sales of albums are holding up. as part of the celebrations we're being asked to play a track from our favourite album and post it on social media at 3:33pm. i hope you get that. joining me now is gennaro castaldo from the bpi, which represents the uk's recorded music industry. what a lot of fun, so many memories you will be voting today. absolutely and we are doing this with our partners, the entertainment retailers association, who have helped to coordinate it all, the whole industry has come together, and it is led by the artist, who tell their stories through the

albums, all sides of who they are, their whole life comes together, and gets given expression through the albums and this is why we need to celebrate it. it is part of how we like to consume music. cds, vinyl, which has had a revival, and we are streaming albums now as well. let's get straight to your favourite because you're very kindly brought this in. mr david bowie. yes, it is a struggle to choose which one. can i ask you to turn it around, that way. there we are. hunky-dory. 1971, but it has life on mars in it, my favourite all—time single, the first one i bought as a single. it has so many great tracks, it is my favourite. when you talk about that, you're holding a physical album, todayis you're holding a physical album, today is a celebration, sorry, i will ask you to put it down. today isa will ask you to put it down. today is a celebration of all forms of the

album, so like you said, you have got the downloading aspect of it, cds, streaming, but there is something about vinyl? when you hold that, what do you think? first and foremost, you see the artwork on the sleeve and there is a wonderful exhibition at waterloo station at the moment of 70 years of album art work. it will go on to glasgow and manchester stations as well. varies the lyrics, the packaging, the weight and the smell of it, the ritual of finding an album, i was just at a record shop, and it was rammed. everyone has lots going on because all the fans want to celebrate the album, but you can consider the physical properties, ultimately, but it is about an idea, a body of work, that is how the artist chooses how to define themselves and tell their story. looking into the future, well i think the physical album will remain and be at the heart of our music and

how we want to discover it, there is nothing to stop an artist releasing a series of streams and saying that collectively thatis streams and saying that collectively that is a body of work, that is an album. kanye that is a body of work, that is an album. ka nye west that is a body of work, that is an album. kanye west is very much in the news now. he brought out life of couple of years ago and he has added more tracks, he has remixed tracks and called that album a living body of work. the album can be an organic thing as well as a physical thing as well. i believe the number one album of all times, most people, i think can get it. it might be a certain band you have heard of, the beatles, sergeant pepper, 1967. people say it was the very first concept album of the modern period. you can probably go back and make cases for other albums as well but that sleeve also features in this exhibition. designed by the great peter blake. it is at period defining album. that

particular opinion poll has the greatest hits removed because normally queen pen to sit on top, and it has streaming removed, but adele and ed sheila narine, but the beatles are still reigning supreme. my beatles are still reigning supreme. my favourites are the household favourites, kallis greece, meatloaf, bat out of hell, and marvin gaye for me as well. particularly with marvin gaye, it is quite monumental, for the artist. —— greece. it is a moment in their lives, in their journey, and you're going along with it. is the album still financially viable? it is incredibly viable. a large part of the music industry revenue still comes from the album and that allows record retailers to invest in the next generation of talent as well. it is the linchpin for the ecosystem but it is finding different forms of expression and thatis different forms of expression and that is the wonderful thing. streaming can prove an even bigger

ca nvas streaming can prove an even bigger canvas for it. young people can discover classic albums and recordings, and we have seen a relationship with the physical album, when they have discovered it online they can go to the local store and buy it on cd or online as well. we are encouraging the public to post their albums. at 3:33 p:m.. that is the speed of vinyl album. posted online. i have done mine. have you done years?|j posted online. i have done mine. have you done years? i have. thank you so much, you have evoked so many lovely memories. thank you. 3:33 p:m.. do not lovely memories. thank you. 3:33 p: m.. do not forget. 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. 0n the continent, there is a close 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. at least 12 people have been killed in an explosion at an election rally in afghanistan. police say explosives were stored in a motorcycle near the event in the province of takhar. officials say dozens of people have been injured in the attack. some are critical. this latest attack comes after a wave of others in recent weeks ahead of next saturday's parliamentary elections. the taliban and other islamist groups are opposed to the election process and have targetted campaign rallies to deter people from voting. this latest attack comes after a wave of others afghanistan is one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world. people are now growing increasingly disillusioned with politicians. secunder kermani reports now from herat. every day this five—year—old collects water from this pump for his family. this poor neighbourhood

on the outskirts of herat is not directly affected by the fighting elsewhere in the country, but hardly anyone has piped water, and electricity only runs for around four hours a day. the boy's father, a shopkeeper, says he will vote in the upcoming elections, but he does not have much faith politicians will improve life for his family. translation: in afghanistan, no one who has been in power has ever done anything for the country. they are just corrupt. poor people have nothing. despite billions of dollars of aid, afghanistan is a country still facing massive challenges. outside a united nations office in herat, a sum of around 200,000 people recently displaced from surrounding provinces by drought. translation: there was no water at all and no food to eat. all the streams and wells dried up.

now we are helpless. last year, around a quarter of the entire afghan population faced crisis levels of food insecurity. this year, because of the drought, that figure will be even higher. the country has a long way to go before it can address people's basic needs. there has, of course, been some progress over the past two decades. as a woman, naheed would not have been allowed outside her home alone under taliban rule. now she's an mp and is fighting for real action. we are experiencing a very new era of politics as women, but according to the money that came to improve the situation, and the human rights, we actually are not satisfied, and i think part of this money went to the corruption,

to the pockets of a few people that they really did not have the willingness. internationally, these elections are seen as a dry run for the more important presidential elections scheduled for next year. will enough people feel safe enough to vote? will the results be marred by fraud? this is a young democracy, but already people's faith in it needs reviving. goody bags filled with commemorative fridge magnets, ponchos and chocolate coins from yesterday's royal wedding have been put up for sale on auction site ebay forup to £1,000. the bags were given to 1,200 members of the public who were in the grounds of windsor castle to follow the marriage of princess eugenie, the queen's granddaughter and ninth in line to the throne, to jack brooksbank. now, it's an awfully long time since he left aunt lucy back in peru.

paddington bear is 60 years old. to celebrate, the royal mint has released two new 50p pieces. the coins depict the peruvian bear in two locations from his adventures, sitting on his suitcase at paddington station, and on a day out at buckingham palace. i will be hunting those down. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz. the weather still dreadful across many western parts of the uk and you do not need me to tell you if you live there but the heavy rain will continue through the rest of today into this evening. it may ease briefly before it turns heavy once again overnight. i think, for the rest of this afternoon, still the amber warning in force for southern parts of wales, where we have seen the worst of the effects from the tail end of storm callum. tonight, briefly, there is a lull in the rain and then the rain returns, so by 5 o'clock in the morning on sunday, it is raining out

towards the south—west, all the way into the midlands, throughout wales once again, but other parts of the country, you can see here in northern ireland, and the extreme further east, some drier weather, and tomorrow, we will see the rain splashing its way across the uk before clearing towards the north sea, and then, look at that, it improves across many western parts, so tomorrow, for many, it will be much better weather. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines. president trump says saudi arabia will be punished severely if claims it's involved in the murder of a saudi journalist are substantiated. strong winds and heavy rain brought by storm callum have continued to batter northern ireland and western parts of britain. the chancellor is coming under growing pressure from his own mps
