this is bbc news. the headlines at 5pm. president trump has a warning for saudi arabia if claims it's involved in the murder of a saudi journalist are stood up. we're 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. the first ever national album day — celebrating the country's love of vinyl across all genres of music. also in the next hour, an amnesty on hospital equipment. patients are urged to return crutches, walking frames and wheel chairs to the nhs so they can be reused or recycled. president trump has told the us tv programme 60 minutes
5:01 pm
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
5:02 pm
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
5:03 pm
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, 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 were the case. they deny it and deny it vehemently. could it be them? yes.
5:04 pm
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 on the sanctions. i give an example. they are ordering military equipment. 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 off? what i do not want to do, boeing, lockheed martin i do not want to hurt jobs. i do not want to lose an order like that and there are other ways to use a harsh word. but it is true.
5:05 pm
tell everybody 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're going to get to the bottom of it and there will be severe punishment. we will be getting more on this story from our washington correspondent chris buckler later on in the programme. do stay for that. parts of the uk are facing a second day of travel disruption with 30 flood warnings currently in place, including two 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
5:06 pm
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 her family 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. or what i'll 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.
5:07 pm
travel has been severely affected, with several roads remaining closed. here on the a470 between merthyr tydfil and the brecon beacons, thejcb 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 issuing an amber warning for heavy rain until this evening. for vickie and her neighbours, they are boxed in.
5:08 pm
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. for more on this we can speak to our washington correspondent, chris buckler. for more in our top story. let's speak to chris buckler. president drunk speaking earlier. he himself saying that there is a lot at stake here. —— president trump speaking earlier. what can america do or work and abc in the bc and a quiz obvious thing would be to impose sanctions. but president trump sees rotten to do that and although he came out ha rd do that and although he came out hard suggesting there would be consequences and spear punishment... it was much more difficult to find
5:09 pm
out exactly what he was prepared to do. because the greatest leverage that watford —— washington potentially has is to stop arms sales and put in place sanctions but he does i want to do that because there are tens of billions of dollars of arms sales to saudi arabia and to stop them would ultimately jeopardise jobs arabia and to stop them would ultimatelyjeopardise jobs in the us. so you get a sense that although president trump is talking tough, it doesn't seem that he is really saying exactly what they would do against saudi arabia and if you take against saudi arabia and if you take a look at his presidency he has been very careful and intent on fostering a relationship with riyadh. and you get the impression his careful comments is hand not trying to jeopardise that. him talking to cbs there he came across as having quite a reasoned tone in that interview. we have seen a lot of pressure from american businesses to offence or rather what saudi arabia and this
5:10 pm
investment summit coming up. what about everyday americans are there where the implications of this?|j think where the implications of this?” think when you touch everyday americans, they not necessarily concerned that connect at this stage. if this were to impactjobs, thenit stage. if this were to impactjobs, then it would become an issue for them. but what you are seeing in washington is growing pressure from senators. they have already triggered an official investigation that could potentially lead to sanctions. and what you are going to see is increasing pressure on president trump from within the us particularly from within congress as the midterm elections approach. but also beyond that i can internationally as well. i think thatis internationally as well. i think that is likely to be the case particularly if the turkish authorities produced evidence. they have talked about how they have recordings that suggest that jamal khashoggi was killed inside the embassy. if they were to produce those recordings that could put real pressure on president trump. as it is there are multiple agencies inside the us already investigating
5:11 pm
this. ultimately it depends on what they emerge with. if there is evidence, i think president trump is going to have to be seen to do something. there is another name thatis something. there is another name that is been founded to all this as well, the pastor andrew bronson he will be meeting mr trump in the over office. what is going on there with relations between the us and turkey? it seems to be quite a little triangle, is this going on behind? we do not know. there have been some reports that have suggested that there is a secret deal being done between turkey and the us. i can say thatis between turkey and the us. i can say that is going on for two years. he is been in house arrest for two yea rs is been in house arrest for two years and turkey and prevented from being able to come home and pivoted of spying in tears and charges. the
5:12 pm
pressure on president trump and vice president mike pence in particular has been to try to get his it has suddenly happen. president trump says there is no day but he has thanked president air to one. and you get the sense relationships are improving there. but president trump says it could be allowed for good or great relationships to foster. at the moment given what happened inside the study consonant in san bol or what is alleged to have happened inside the saudi consulate in istanbul, you get the sense america would like to speak to turkey and find out the information they have an relationships there would perhaps be something that are worth fostering at this time somewhat interesting stuff. chris buckler, thank you. you're watching bbc news. 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
5:13 pm
universal credit is working. the work and pensions secretary has admitted that some claimants will be worse off. 0ur 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 perfamily. it 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.
5:14 pm
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 unhappy. we heard him moot the idea that perhaps he would cut some relief on pensions savings. that has gone down badly. he has a fine balance to judge. some suggested the manifesto commitment to raise the threshold of income tax might be quietly
5:15 pm
dropped to make more money but it is difficult decisions to make. more than 100 thousand people took part in a demonstration against the shift to the right in german politics and society. -- 100,000 —— 100,000 people. 0rganisers of the rally for an open and free society say that there were 240,000 people there. police in berlin haven't confirmed that but say that the number of participants is "in the low hundreds of thousands". it comes after a number of far—right protests were held in cities across the country in recent weeks. earlier i spoke to our berlin correspondentjenny hill who was following the demonstration. people are marching officially under the slogan "unteilbar" which means indivisible. the official aim is to promote a free, fair and open society. it's been organised by hundreds of groups and individuals, many of whom have different
5:16 pm
political leanings and agendas but almost without exception everyone we have spoken to here says 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 has seen protests by the far—right. think back to september and the violent scenes on the streets by far—right anti—migrant protesters. this is designed to counter those attitudes. one woman said in the crowd that she is ashamed that germany is getting that reputation, those pictures that were beamed all over the world from that protest. she and others came here on berlin's streets 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
5:17 pm
a divisive subject and still has the power to bring people onto the streets. that time is 70 minutes past five. -- 17 that time is 70 minutes past five. —— 17 minutes past five. 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. 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.
5:18 pm
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.
5:19 pm
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. 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.
5:20 pm
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 in his 20s has been stabbed to death in a car park near a shopping centre in dudley, in the west midlands. the victim was fatally knifed in dudley, in the west midlands, in the early hours of saturday. west midlands police say three men have been arrested on suspicion of murder and remain in custody. 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.
5:21 pm
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. but security is not the only thing affecting people — 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
5:22 pm
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.
5:23 pm
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?
5:24 pm
will the results be marred by fraud? this is a young democracy, but already people's faith in it needs reviving. 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
5:25 pm
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 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. jewellery that once belonged to france's queen, marie antoinette, has gone on display in new york, ahead of an auction next month. thejewels have been held in private collections for more than 200 years. sotheby‘s has described the lot as "one of the most important royal jewellery collections ever to come to auction" and estimates its value at almost £4 million.
5:26 pm
tim allman reports. for many, she is the ultimate symbol of opulence, decadence and self—indulgence. marie antoinette, queen consort of france, casualty of the revolution, victim of the guillotine. more than 200 years later, some of her jewellery is going up for sale. these are items that have a unique place in history. this collection has been in the family since she owned them. so there are records of her wrapping the jewels the night before he went to prison, her last night of freedom was spent caring for these jewels and sending them back to first i think belgium and then austria, where she was from. the collection includes brooches, hearings and necklaces, also monogrammed ring
5:27 pm
here on the left, that contains a lock of her hair. i think she probably was one of the original, the original it girl. honestly, in terms of her style and her relationship with fashion and jewellery, i think that still holds a lot of allure. the entire collection is estimated to fetch anything up to $3 million. you could certainly buy a lot of cake with that. proof that this is a woman who continues to fascinate and entice, centuries after her death. wow one. now, it's an awfully long time since he left aunt lucy back in peru.
5:28 pm
paddington bear is 60 years old. to celebrate, the royal mint has released two new 50 pence 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. now it's time for a look at the weather. i think the main messages the weather will improve over the next 24 hours. we still have had the rain under way. hopefully this next i will not last as long as the one we have had the good news is the winds are starting to ease her is we go through the night we are really going to lose those gale force winds as this tail and of storm —— storm callu m as this tail and of storm —— storm callum starts to clear way. but there is so a number of warnings from the met office. this is where we have seen troublesome weather with all that flooding rain. we'll see... 0ut towards the east and
5:29 pm
southeast it has been a completely different story. this is eight o'clock. this is extraordinary. temperatures still in the 20s. just how very warm this error is coming from the south is what is driving this extreme weather front. by the early hours of sunday morning, 5 degrees in western scotland, 15 in nor rich and we had that smell in between of heavy rain once again. starting tonight early hours of the morning, this is morning on sunday and then in the afternoon, it moves further northwards. and you can the contrast in the temperature here between the northwestern sleights of the uk and east and we we and the southeast. then we will have warm weather on sunday. raining in the south splayed across the midlands and wales in the yorkshire. areas that had nothing measuring will get
5:30 pm
some. whereas to the northwest a totally different story. rainy here at the moment. tomorrow you will get the sunshine in belfast and glasgow. above—average in nor rich and above what we have had. i pressure stress build across the uk. there is a weather front in the southeast. could be a little but of rain around for a bit of time. i think overall the message is that the weather is improving later on sunday and into monday. well there. they did all the hard work in the build—up. you used the word patience. they were, but these centres have got to come in. looking at this, once again leon andrews under pressure. they are putting a lot of pressure on him at the moment. good evening. a 32—year—old man has died after falling into
5:31 pm
penarth marina yesterday — as parts of wales have suffered their worst flooding in 30 years. more than 30 flood warnings are still in place. the heavy rain and strong winds have also left 2,000 homes and businesses in england without power — with some flood defences breached. people in one village in south wales spent the night on evacuation alert because of the rising water levels, from where tomos morgan reports now. yeah, so it's streaming through the middle of the house at the moment. yeah, and you've made a kind of drainage by taking up all the panels. yeah, we're trying to keep it as central as possible. vicky's home in aberdulais has been ruined by storm callum. 0vernight the torrential rain that caused havoc across south wales has decimated her family's home. ijust don't know how long it's going to take for it to all go down, so is just waiting for everything to dry out, i guess,
5:32 pm
and then see what happens from there, but now a lot of people on the street haven't got insurance or anything, so i don't know what they are going to do or i'm going to do. i'm not sure. the 29 houses on canal side where vicky lives were offered the voluntary evacuation last night, but all the residents refused and stayed with their belongings and homes. it's south wales that's borne the brunt of storm callum. travel has been severely affected, with several roads remaining closed. here on a470 between merthyr tydfil and the brecon beacons thejcb 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 this road. in lampeter businesses have been severely disrupted the. some of the smaller cars are trying to get through and then, well, they're going through but at
5:33 pm
they‘ re just breaking down because it's so deep on the road. i've been here 26—27 years, i was born here. i've never seen it this bad. it's quite bad. across the uk thousands of homes have been without power. flood alerts remain in place across wales and the north of england. and the met office has warnings in place for heavy rain in these areas until midnight this evening. for vicky and her neighbours in aberdulais, 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 on until this later storm has run its course. and tomos joins me from the vale of neath now. what's the latest updates with the bad weather? well, one of the other things that the villages have had to contend with today in aberdulais is this rising river neath, dangerously close to bursting its banks and causing flooding in aberdulais, but it is not just
5:34 pm
causing flooding in aberdulais, but it is notjust in wales it has been causing havoc, storm callum causing problems across other areas of the uk, trouble with planes landing in airports in the north, severe delays in trains going from preston to a southern scotland, and around 2000 homes and businesses without power across england. the flood warnings have been lifted in scotland but several remain in place across england and wales. as the met office has put a yellow warning out for heavy rain until midnight this evening across wales, northern england and scotland, and the advice is to only trouble is completely necessary. tomos, thank you. donald trump has said the us will inflict "severe punishment" on saudi arabia — if its found to be responsible for the death of a journalist. jamal khashoggi a critic of the saudi government, vanished after visiting its consulate in istanbul earlier this month. turkey says it has audio and video evidence proving that he was murdered inside the building. but the saudi interior minister described the allegations as lies. mark lowen‘s report contains
5:35 pm
some flashing images. what dark secrets of jamal khashoggi's end lie within these walls? saudi arabia's istanbul consulate, a place of diplomatic protection that, it seems, became a site of horror. turkish sources say they have recordings to prove he was murdered here by a saudi hit squad. jamal khashoggi... president trump today warned of consequences if saudi arabia had killed mr khashoggi, but said he wouldn't cancel arms deals with them. i don't want to lose an order like that and, you know, there are other ways of punishing, to use a word that's a pretty harsh word — but it's true. we're going to get to the bottom of it, and there will be severe punishment. it's 11 days since jamal khashoggi entered the consulate to get papers for his wedding. he's not been seen since. it's alleged the body of the critical journalist was dismembered. the saudi interior minister
5:36 pm
repeated his government's denial of what he called "baseless allegations and lies." rallying his supporters, president erdogan is being cautious, and hasn't echoed accusations of murder. he's even accepted the saudis‘ request for a joint inquiry, but says they must provide evidence. turkey's strategy is two—pronged. it's treading carefully to protect an important relationship with riyadh, especially amid economic problems here. but at the same time it's leaking incriminating evidence to build international support and to warn the saudis "co—operate or else." after other killings, not least in salisbury, the un secretary—general told the bbc he fears a pattern. i'm feeling worried with this...apparent new normal. because these kind of incidents are multiplying, and it's absolutely essential to make sure the international community says clearly that this is not
5:37 pm
something that can happen. as they investigate the missing journalist, turkish police haven't managed to search the consulate — reportedly because the saudis limited their scope, prompting the question, will we ever really know the awful truth hidden here? mark lowen, bbc news, istanbul. let's take a look at some of today's other news stories... 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." 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 one single payment. this morning, one conservative mp suggested around 30
5:38 pm
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. 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. banksy‘s artwork girl with a balloon, which shredded itself after going under the hammer last week, has gone back on display. the renamed love is in the bin was sold at sotheby‘s auction house for more than £1 million, before destroying itself moments later with a device built into the frame. here's ian palmer with more. applause the moment banksy‘s girl with a balloon became love is in the bin. sold for £1 million before spontaneously shredding itself inside the auction house. today the artwork went on public

display for the first time. it was a great piece of work in the first place, but now it's just had something added to it. it'sjust interesting, how they did it — like, does it go around and down, or...? but, no, it was amazing. banksy installed the shredder into the frame before donating the painting in 2006. the stunt has turned the art world upside down because no one knows how he managed to pull it off. the auction house denies any involvement. who other than banksy could create so much excitement by he never shies away from making bold and often political statements. in this instance, by destroying his work he's created a

5:46 pm
the buzz when one of the world's best netball players lands on your shores. during her career, sharni layton won two world cups and a commonwealth gold medal. she is widely regarded as one of the best defenders in the game but it was her character, intimidating on the court yet approachable off it, which made her a global superstar. my persona was angry, i had to go for every ball, i wanted to intimidate my player, stand in theirface ball, i wanted to intimidate my player, stand in their face and annoy them. that determination is what got me into netball teams sometimes over my skill level. last year she took a six—month break after suffering from depression. the candid way in which she spoke about it only endeared her to netball fans even more. i'd always been such a headstrong person that i prove
5:47 pm
people wrong. i get myself out of sticky situations. i'm strong. when i had to be like, i actually can't get through this myself, because i'm the one he got me here... that was a really ha rd the one he got me here... that was a really hard conclusion to come to. sharni layton did return to netball in australia but announced her retirement injuly in australia but announced her retirement in july this in australia but announced her retirement injuly this year. one week only, she is back, saying a final farewell to the sport with surrey storm in the british fast 5s. we cannot overestimate how iconic it is to have sharni layton with us for our players to be around. a personality be size of sharni layton cannot keep quiet for long. she's now to play australian rules football. they take the absolute mickey out of me. come on, giraffe.
5:48 pm
but light hearted sense of humour which i have as well. it is really fun. it is not about me going out and being successful at it, just me going out and having the best crack at it going out and having the best crack atiti going out and having the best crack at it i possibly can. who would bet against her mastering another sport? her smile is hopefully here to stay. that's all the sport for now. we have a full update at 6:30pm. the grand final is going on tonight between wigan and warrington. join us between wigan and warrington. join us then on bbc news channel. goodbye. bbc music is supporting the first ever national album day. the album was 70 years old earlier this year. 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 day, the uk's all—time favourite studio album, based on sales, downloads and streams in the uk —
5:49 pm
has been unveiled. earlier i spoke to gennaro castaldo from the bpi , which represents the uk's recorded music industry, about album day. we're doing this with our partners, the entertainment retail association. they've helped to coordinate it all. they and the association of independent music. the whole industry has come together and it's artist—led, that is the important thing, because it's artists who tell their stories through the albums, all sides of who they are, their life comes together and gets given expression to in the albums, so this is why we need to celebrate it and it's at the heart of how we like to consume music. cds, still, vinyl, which has had a real revival, and of course we're streaming albums now, as well. let's get straight to your favourite, because you have very kindly brought this in for us. yes, indeed. mr bowie. yes, mr bowie. it's a struggle to actually choose which one... can i ask you to turn it around just a little bit? that way.
5:50 pm
there we go. perfect. hunky dory, from 1971, because it's got life on mars on it, which is my favourite all—time single, the first song i actually bought as a single, and it's wonderful. it's got kooks on, and so many other tracks on as well. it's my favourite. when you talk about that, you are holding a physical album there. today is a celebration... it's ok, i'll ask you to put it down now. today is a celebration of all forms of the album. so like you said, you've got the downloading aspect of it... streaming. cds, streaming... but there's something about a vinyl copy. absolutely. when you hold that, what do you think? well, you see first and foremost the sleeve artwork, and i should say that there is a wonderful exhibition on at waterloo station at the moment, of 70 years of album artwork. it's going to go on to glasgow and manchester stations as well. so that is a key part of it.
5:51 pm
there's the lyrics, there's all the packaging. there's the weight of it, the smell of it. there's the whole ritual of actually finding an album. in fact, i was just at sister ray records, and it was absolutely rammed. just about to go to hmv. everyone's got lots going on right now because all the fans want to celebrate the album, but ultimately, yes, you can consider the physical properties but it's really about an idea, it's about a body of work, that's how the artist chooses to define themselves to tell their story. so looking into the future, whilst i think the physical album will remain, while it may be at the very heart of how we want to enjoy our music and discover it, there's nothing to actually stop an artist from releasing a series of streams, for example, and then collectively saying, that is actually a body of work, that is an album. and what we'd seen... kanye west, who is very much in the news right now, but he brought out life of pablo a couple of years ago. he has since added more tracks, he has remixed tracks. he has called that album a living body of work, so actually, the album can be an organic thing as well as actually a physical thing as well. i believe the number one album of all time... most people, i think, can guess it. well, it might be a certain band you've heard of, the beatles?
5:52 pm
yes! sergeant pepper, 1967. imean... people say it was the first kind of concept album of the modern era. you could probably go back and make cases for other albums as well. interestingly, that sleeve features in this particular exhibition i was talking about, designed by the great peter blake. so it is an era—defining album. i should say, that particular poll has the greatest hits removed, because normally queen's greatest hits tends to sit on top, and it's got streaming involved for the first time as well, but despite that, even though i think adele is in there, ed sheeran is in there, still the beatles reigning supreme. the weather. the main message is that the weather will improve over the next 24 hours but until then we still have very
5:53 pm
heavy rain on the way. hopefully this next spell of rain will not last as well as the —— as long as the one we have had currently. the wind is starting to ease as well. tonight we will lose those gale force winds as the tail end of storm callu m force winds as the tail end of storm callum slowly starts to clear away from the uk. but for the time being, there is still an amber weather warning in force for southern parts of wales. we have seen here very troublesome weather with that flooding and rain. still the chance of encountering very heavy rain falls in the south just now. in the east and the south—east it has been a different story, very warm. these temperatures are extraordinary at 8pm this evening. still in the 20s. a very mild area coming in from the south, driving this extreme weather front, the warm air from the east
5:54 pm
and the colder air coming in from the atlantic. by the early hours of sunday, 5 degrees in western scotland, 15 in norwich and in between we have the spell of heavy rain once again, so this is the next speu rain once again, so this is the next spell of heavy rain starting tonight, early hours of the morning, and then in the afternoon it moves further northwards. you can see the contrast in the temperature between the north—west of the uk and east anglia and the south—east. so we will store has a more member —— we will store has a more member —— we will still have some warm weather on sunday. then the rain coming through into some areas that had not seen much. in the north—west it is totally different. it is raining here at the moment, tomorrow you will get sunshine in belfast and glasgow. still warm in norwich and london. above the average for the time of year but lower than what we have had. 0n time of year but lower than what we have had. on monday, high pressure is finally starting to build across the uk temporarily. there is a weather front in the south—east.
5:55 pm
there could be a bit of rain around overall but the message is the weather is improving. later on sunday and into monday, that is. this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 6pm. president trump has a warning for saudi arabia — if claims it's involved in the murder of a saudi journalist are stood up. we're going to get to the bottom of it and there will be severe punishment. a 32—year—old man has died afterfalling into penarth marina as parts of wales suffer their worst flooding in 30 years. more than 30 flood warnings are still in place. the chancellor is coming under growing pressure from his own mps to find extra funding for universal credit. the first ever national album day celebrating the country's love of vinyl across all genres of music. also in the next hour, an amnesty on hospital equipment. patients are urged to return crutches, walking frames and wheel
