khashoggi's and windies walls? saudi arabia upon site istanbul consulate, a place of diplomatic protection, it seems became a site of horror. turkish officials say they have recordings to prove he was murdered here by a saudi hit squad. jamal khashoggi. president trump warned today of consequences if sundre they had killed him. but he said he would not cancel arm deals with them. had killed him. but he said he would not cancel arm deals with themli don't want to lose in order like that and there are other ways of punishing, to use a word that is a pretty harsh word but it is true. we're going to get the bottom of it and there will be severe punishment. it's 11 days since jamal khashoggi and to the consulate to get papers for his wedding. he has not been seen this. it's alleged that the body of the criticaljournalist seen this. it's alleged that the body of the critical journalist was dismembered. the saudi interior

minister 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 has even accepted the saudi's request for a joint inquiry but says they must provide evidence. turkey's strategy is 2—pronged. it's treading carefully to protect an important relationship with riyadh especially amid economic problems here. but the same time it is leaking incriminating evidence to build international support and warn the saturdays "co—operate or else". after other killings that wiese in salisbury, the un secretary general told the bbc he feared a pattern. am feeling worried. it is an apparent new normal. and because these kind of incidents are multiplying. and it is absolutely essential to make sure that the international community says clearly that this is not

something that can happen. as they investigate the missing journalists, turkish police haven't managed to search the consulate reportedly because the studies limited the scope product in the question, will we ever really know the awful truth hidden here? a 32—year—old man has died after falling into 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 2000 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. vickie leclerc‘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, 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 vickie 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

due to the heavy rain. the local superstore and its car park under a foot of water. some of the smaller cars are trying to get through and then, well, they're going through but at the other end 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 vickie 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. tomos was able to give us the latest from the vale of neath. 0ne

one of the other things that the villagers and aberdulais it had to deal with is the raging river which has become dangerously close to bursting its banks and causing further flooding here in bursting its banks and causing furtherflooding here in aberdulais. ido furtherflooding here in aberdulais. i do decide southwest that is just been affected by storm has been wreaking havoc across other areas of the uk. -- wreaking havoc across other areas of the uk. —— storm callum. there had been severe delays across airports and trains going from press and the southern scotland. around 2000 homes and businesses have been 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 the yellow warning out for heavy rain until midnight this evening across wales, northern england and scotland and the advice is to only travel is com pletely the advice is to only travel is completely necessary. 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. 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 there 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 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 dropped to make more money but it is difficult decisions to make. let's take a look at some of the 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 in his 20s has been stabbed to death in a car park near a shopping centre 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 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. more than 100,000 people took part in a demonstration against the shift to the right in german politics and society. 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 here 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 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 a divisive subject and still has the power to bring people onto the streets. 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. it isa it is a quarter past six. 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. 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. 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 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 huge 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 farid would not have been allowed outside her home alone under taliban rule. now she's an mp and is fighting for re—election. 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. secunder kermani, bbc news, afghanistan. hyperinflation has returned to zimbabwe, a decade after it destroyed the country's economy, and a year after robert mugabe was forced out of office. local and international businesses have been closing their doors and the value of the fragile local currency has plummeted. 0ur correspondent, andrew harding, reports from harare. zimbabwe is supposed to be on the mend, but right now,

it doesn't feel like that. 0n the streets, hyperinflation is back. how much for one carrot? ten cents each. yesterday, how much for one carrot? five cents. as prices soar, people are panicking about how to feed their families. inflation here is too much. every day, every hour, every minute, the prices are changing. so what's going wrong? the politicians who kicked robert mugabe out of power last year insist they are taking tough steps to fix a broken economy. that means new taxes, and changes to a fragile local currency. people have to be patient, and this is the starting of bigger things. we have started on a very good note and the government is committed to reforms, so we need people to really be patient. but zimbabweans are not reassured.

i remember coming here a decade ago. empty shelves and devastating hyperinflation. people's savings were wiped out. well, i have just spent nearly a trillion dollars and i have got three tins of baked beans and some tomatoes to show for it. no wonder a nation cheered when president mugabe was finally pushed out a year ago. but the same party is still in power, and euphoria has turned to alarm. it is a complete dog's breakfast, a man—made dog's breakfast and one which is ridiculous because we have gone through this pain before, so it is a very depressing situation. there is no quick fix. cholera has now erupted in harare, the result of collapsing infrastructure, a reminder of the looting and the misrule of the mugabe era. it is no wonder that zimbabweans are worried. they fear that inflation will destroy their savings, again,

they fear that this government will prove as corrupt as the last, and they fear that getting rid of robert mugabe may have been the easy part. for now, long queues for scarce petrol. and plenty of disillusionment. i was really, really optimistic. and now? it does not look like much has changed. instead, security is being tightened here as the new zimbabwe struggles. andrew harding, bbc news, harare. to bring you more information about a fire that has run brought out. emergency services have been called to a "large fire" at a b&m store in clifton moor retail park in york. residents have been

advised to stay indoors and close their windows until the incident has been dealt with. north yorkshire police said the blaze broke out in the building's storage yard and that the store was evacuated. that is the latest news following that fire at the store in new york. 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 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. bbc music is supporting the first ever national album day. the album was 70 years old earlier this year.

—— before donating the painting. 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 destroying their own works? the conception and execution of this elaborate stunt was such that it's probably worth more now than it ever was. banksy‘s identity remains unknown. he never shies away from making bold and often political statements. in this instance, by destroying his work he's created a new installation in its own right. ian palmer, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather. the
