the painting in 2006. —— 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 weather so dreadful across many parts of the uk. the weather will continue through the rest of the day

into this evening, and may ease briefly before it turns heavy once again overnight. for the rest of this afternoon, so the amber warning in force therefore some parts of wales where we have seen the worst effects of the tail end of storm callum. there is a brief lull in the rain and in the rain returns by five and sunday, it is raining out towards the southwest into the midlands throughout wales once again. other parts of the country as you can see here in northern ireland and the extreme further east there, drier weather. you see the rain splashing across the uk before clearing towards the north sea and thenit clearing towards the north sea and then it emperors across many western parts. tomorrow for many of us eventually much better rather. 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 party's mps to find extra funding for universal credit. the fracking firm cuadrilla has confirmed earlier it won't carry out fracking today at its site near blackpool, citing bad weather as the cause of the delay. now on bbc news it's time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday, with me lizzie greenwood—hughs, and john watson. win or lose for warrington or wigan — expect emotions to run high at old trafford on grand final day.

morgan shows his mettle to steer england home in sri lanka. and halloween arrives early as bath's freddie burns has a horror show at the rec. for the neutral it's a case of pick your fairytale ending as wigan and warringtom meet in tonight's super league grand final — the game kicked—offjust after six at old trafford. it's the last match in charge for wigan coach shaun wane — but for warrington, there could, at long last, be a new name on the trophy. three times they've made it

to the sport's showpiece, three times they've fallen at the last. the match is a repeat of the 2016 grand final. wigan already have one win to their name today, they beat leeds it is for— four after 30 minutes at old trafford. wigan already have one win to their name today, they beat leeds in the women's grand final for the first time. the match was tied at 16 all heading into the final minute, charlotte foley's penalty handing wigan victoryt at the manchester regional arena. the warriors had been in front thanks to rachel thompson's hat trick and georgia wilson's try. this is only the second women's grand final after bradford won the inaguraul event last year. england's one—day cricket captain eoin morgan laid the groundwork for his side's victory in the second one—day international in sri lanka. in another rain—affected match, he top—scored but was quick to praise his bolwers

chris woakes and olly stone, as england won by 31 runs, to take a 1—0 lead in the series. alex ewing reports. the players walked out in the sunshine in dambulla, hoping the rain would hold off. sri lanka still rely on veteran bowler malinga. first over, malinga delivered. jason roy out. joe root had no such problems as this, showing his team—mates how it's done. england were building a good platform and when eoin morgan arrived, he produced shots like this to to race to 92. but back came malinga. a century missed. sri lanka knew they could not miss early wickets. in their early pursuit of 279. chris woakes had other plans. in monsoon season, rain is always a threat — covers at the ready. and with sri lanka well behind,

ferreira teed off. it was too little, too late, as england head off with a 1—0 lead. he has been doing it for quite some time now. but i thought he really did set the tone. he made quite a relaxing impression early on for ollie to come in and do exact to what he does. captain eoin morgan looking for a win in this series to underline his side's status as favouirites to win next year's cricket world cup. this is one of three series england play before hosting the tournament next may. henry moeran is in dambulla and has been reflecting on their first win of the tour. victory for england, just about, with the rain coming down. but not before england had asserted their authority. simon mannjoins

simon mann joins me. simon mannjoins me. rain affecting it once again but enough time in this game as seeing england as a dominant side. yes, they played well but not perfectly and you wouldn't necessarily expect that because many of the players have not done anything, in practice, on this trip. it isn't, workable school and then they had something for defence and they had something for defence and they have done really well with the new ball and then the rain came. sri la nka new ball and then the rain came. sri lanka never really looked like threatening. eithertype lanka never really looked like threatening. either type of total. 92 for eoin morgan, england captain. there was talk of him not contributing to this side. he does contribute to this side. perhaps even dell but he is not as dynamic as he was at the start of his career and there are other players playing ina more

and there are other players playing in a more dynamic way but he is integral to this side. he is setting the template for the way they played. it is unthinkable really that he would drop himself. england changed their captain last time before the world cup and look where that got them. morgan is 100% in, as faras that got them. morgan is 100% in, as far as his tea is concerned —— as far as his tea is concerned —— as faras far as his tea is concerned —— as far as his tea is concerned —— as far as his team is concerned. and ollie looked promising. only stone, great way to take first wicket, short ball lobbed to the keeper. don't put too much pressure on him. it ignores his first one—day international, so let's see how he goes, but very promising. the next one—day international is on wednesday. we may have similar weather there as well. onto rugby union and baths freddie burns couldn't blame the weather for what turned out to be a horror show for him in his side's opening champions cup match against toulouse.

firstly, with his team two points behind, the fullback missed a penalty in front of the posts. but worse was to come when he was through to score, and began celebrating, only for the ball to be knocked out of his hands as his side lost 22 points to 20. he was substituted by his coach, who said he was a little bit mentally shot. he said you can't celebrate early at any level and called it a mistake he will never make again. edinburgh produced a spirited comeback in the second half of their opening match but couldn't do enough to beat french side montpellier. gabriel ngandebe extended their lead with the pick of the days tries. edinburgh mustered a bonus point. 21-15. exeter drew io—all with munster, they were leading until munster‘s perseverance paid off when cj stander scored in the second half

and there are two more games under way. also coming up in the programme. we meet one of netball‘s biggest stars, who talks success and struggles. and we hear from the para table tennis champion who's been tuirning his the bat to the games controller. i don't know the buttons or anything. i hide in the corner of the room. you are supposed to go around shooting people and stuff. i just hide in the cupboard. an unpopular appointment for many scotland fans, alex mcleish is already feeling the pressure after an embarassing defeat to israel in the nations league, a side ranked 55 places below them. they face the european champions portugal in a friendly at hampden

tomorrow, without several players who've withdrawn from the squad. troubling times, as jane lewis can tell us. the scotland squad behind me at hampden are being put through their paces at head of the friendly tomorrow against portugal. scotland manager alex mcleish has lost for mac players from his squad for this. he will be without snodgrass, mulberry and one other. they are all injured. one player has been sent back to his club because he is effectively being rested. three players have been brought in, devlin and christie among them. it was ruled out. the medical team said that he had a bit of fatigue. it was right and proper that he should go back to his club. scotland face

portugal tomorrow in the friendly tomorrow, hoping to bounce back against the disappointing defeat in israel. obviously we will be looking to bring us back from thurso. that is crucial. —— to bring us back from thursday. now our focus is on tomorrow night, and hopefully we can put ina tomorrow night, and hopefully we can put in a better performance. earlier today the portuguese squad trained here, their manager confirming that cristiano ronaldo is not part of their squad to face scotland tomorrow. he will also not be part of the squad for the next two nation's league matches, taking place next month. all eyes here tomorrow night for portugal against scotla nd tomorrow night for portugal against scotland and despite the fact it is the european competition, this place will only be half full, with the sfa saying they only expect 23,000

tickets to be sold. it may be the international break but there was no shortage of skill on display this afternoon at oakwell as mamadou thiam scored a brilliant goal as barnsley climbed to second in the table. he found himself in the right place at the right time to curl home to give his side a two—goal advantage against luton, although they would pull one back. league one with a 3—2 victory over luton at oakwell. they trail portsmouth who top the table. thierry henry is back at monaco, the club where he began his senior career — but this time as manager. he'd been linked with the job at aston villa but he's chosen to take the post at monaco, who are third from bottom of the french first divison with just one win so far this season. england's eddie pepperell is still in the lead at the british masters golf, with just one round to play. he's been at the top of the leaderboard since the opening day and he fired a 71 today to move to nine under par, which kept him three shots clear of the field. the chasing pack includes another englishman, jordan smith, but matt wallace slipped back with a one—over—par round of 73. and it's been another good day for england's charley hull —

she shares the lead after three rounds of the lpga event in south korea. a birdie at the last left her on i2—under—par, alongside the american danielle kang. hull is chasing a first win since the 2016 tour championship. roger federer is out of the shanghai masters after losing to borna coric in the semifinals. the world number two was beaten 6—4, 6—4 by coric, who also beat the 20—time grand slam champion in their last outing at halle in june. that means he will play novak djokovic in the final. that is after he beat fourth seed alexander zverev. 6—2, 6—1 the score in little more than an hour. regardless of the result, djokovic willjump above federer to number two in the world rankings. the teenage son

of formula one legend michael schumacher has won the formula three european championship. mick schumacher finished second in race two at the hockenheim to leave him with an unbeatable lead in the standings, with one race still to go. that also means he's qualified for an fia ‘super licence', which is needed for a driver tojump to formula one. michael schumacher won the f3 championship 28 years ago. he went on to being a seventh formula 1 world titles. now, who could forget this — in england beating the hosts australia to win commonwealth games gold back in april. it was one of the moments of the games. it's led to a huge rise the the number of women playing the game in this country and there's a big crowd at the copperbox in london today, watching the fast5 series — more on that later. one of the sport's biggest stars is there — sharni layton, who's dominated netball in australia, is playing for surrey storm, before leaving the sport for aussie rules. she's been very open about her struggle with mental health issues — and she spoke to emily croydon during her short trip to the uk. there you go.

absolutely. this is 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 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've always been such a headstrong

person that i prove 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 that got me here... that was a really hard conclusion to come to. layton did return to netball in australia but announced her retirement in july this year. now for 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 the size of 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. that 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 i possibly can. a cult figure in netball. who would bet against her mastering another sport? her smile is hopefully here to stay. and clearly she has a sense of humour. sharni layton had promised to wear an england kit at the fast5 event today, if england beat australia in the commonwealth games final — and they did, of course, so — there she is. her side surrey storm lost to wasps in the semi—finals at the copperbox — and they went on to beat benecosmavericks by 42 points to 32 to take the title. will bayley provided one of the most memorable images from the paralympics in rio two years ago. his celebration after he won table

tennis gold was a real highlight. next week he takes part in the biggest event on the para table tennis calendar — the world championships in slovenia. ben croucher looks at where the british medals might come from. we have already had the swimming in dublin and the european para athletics in berlin this year, where britain 120 cult medals. this time it is the turn of the table tennis world championships. not so many medals up for grabs. for athlete it is the third largest paralympic sport. slovenia is not too foreign to the team. they regularly practice and play here. the competition is around about an hour away. so who is going? 1a athletes in total. the majority of them have real medal

prospects. one of them is ranked sixth in the world. paul ward european team gold last year. the two gingers, as they call themselves, fleece piccard and shackleton. they are roommates. but where it should be focus our attention? here are four but i have picked out. brooke davies fulfilled his goal of getting paralympic gold in rio de janeiro his goal of getting paralympic gold in rio dejaneiro and the word is he's keen to avenge the defeat he suffered in the 2014 final. iamjust i am just looking forward to seeing what i can do more than anything. there is not so much expectation on me from those around me, so i'm just going to go there and enjoy it and

see what i can do. paul has flown under the radar a bit. not masses of expectation but he says he best will be good enough to beat anyone since rio. he has had to come to terms with the loss of his biggest supporter and wife, who died shortly after the paralympics. he has paid tribute to his table tennis family. the support has got me through a lot without the support i don't know where i would be today. i owe a lot to table tennis. a couple of kent lads are expected to challenge for top honours as well. ross wilson is 17. he won paralympic bronze in london. he won a first commonwealth title in the spring. but injury and illness means this will be his first world. when he is out on tour at these major championship is, how does he alleviate any potential boredom? i take my place station --

playstation everywhere. so do the boys and we all play together. a lot of my friends on the team as well play so become kind of play when eve ryo ne play so become kind of play when everyone is in different countries, when everyone is away of stuff, eve ryo ne when everyone is away of stuff, everyone can catch up together. lastly, will bayley, famed for jumping on the table and hugging an official after winning gold at the rio paralympics. he is widely tipped to add to his 2014th world medal. so is he part of this group?|j to add to his 2014th world medal. so is he part of this group? ijust hide in the corner. you are supposed to go around on playstation shooting people and stuff. ijust hide in the cupboard and hope no one finds me and a content or something like that. they played six hours a day or something like that. ijust play when i go to camp. we've heard before about athletes who were inspired to take up

sport professionally, after volunteering at the london 2012 olympics. dina asher—smith famously went from kit—carrier to sprint champion. signing up as an admin assistant gave a young nekoda smythe—davis the opportunity to watch the judo in the exhibition centre six years ago — and that was enough to push her into taking her hobby seriously. after winning silver at last month's world championships, she has her eyes on tokyo 2020. here's her story. commentator: has she made a mistake? she's definitely in trouble. my goodness. she's got through to the final. it has definitely sunk in 110w. final. it has definitely sunk in now. it is a good feeling to back of my result from last year. i was really here and a contender. i definitely believe it now.|j

really here and a contender. i definitely believe it now. i am up at the ceiling and i cannot come down. it was so good when she won that semifinal. it broke my heart. i'm still ona that semifinal. it broke my heart. i'm still on a high. i'm so proud of her. i got the opportunity to be a volunteer at london 2012 olympics for two weeks. it was one of the best two weeks of my life. actually working in thejudo best two weeks of my life. actually working in the judo and best two weeks of my life. actually working in thejudo and being in and around everything, i got to see how it all runs on the senior circuit. i didn't know any of the players at the time so i was completely sta rstruck the time so i was completely starstruck and especially on the day whenjenna gibbons won her medal. that was amazing because she was a com plete that was amazing because she was a complete underdog. nobody was talking about her winning a medal. nobody could she could do it. for me that was like, ok... maybe this is what i should do, maybe i should go to full—time training and see i can

achieve something like that.|j to full—time training and see i can achieve something like that. i was determined for her to go... i didn't know it was going to take over. it wasjust for them know it was going to take over. it was just for them to defend themselves. but then she said, mum, you have spent so much money, let's go you have spent so much money, let's go for it. ifi can you have spent so much money, let's go for it. if i can get this right on the day, and train... i'm not a japanesejudo on the day, and train... i'm not a japanese judo player so i on the day, and train... i'm not a japanesejudo player so i have to train my way. if i can get my head around it... any athlete would be lying if they said the journey is easy. medals like this make it worthwhile but it is definitely not easy. it is difficult. there were times i wanted to quit and i thought, maybe i should take a break. you start doubting yourself a little bit. there is not long left 110w little bit. there is not long left now until tokyo and i will do my best. an update from old trafford,

wigan are leading warrington 8—5. we promised you pictures of the women's grand final — and here they are wigan beat leeds in the final, the match was tied at 16 all heading into the final minute. wigan getting victory at the manchester regional arena. that's all from sportsday. a real day of contrasts. you will all have heard about the excessive amounts of rain we have had particularly in wales. numerous flood warnings are still in force. although the amber warning has now lapsed from the met office, there will be raining tonight, just not as

heavily. this is the weather front responsible. pushing northwards today. further pulses wriggling along the weather front before it leaves our shores. what a contrast. if you have been sit in the rain... this area has the warmest day so late in the year. beautiful sunshine in the east. really heavy, persistent rain, in northern ireland and scotland and western parts of england and wales. the rain keeps coming down. it will continue through the evening and night, eventually fishing through the midlands and central and southern england. it will be quite chilly in some rural spots of northern ireland. a bit of patchy fog. for most of us a mild night but not as mild as last night. daytime temperatures overnight nonetheless.

further rain pushing northwards across that weather front as we go through the day on sunday. more rain so through the day on sunday. more rain so unfortunately it has a lot of energy which means it will give a lot of rain before it moves away. fresh air behind. a more promising date tomorrow for northern ireland after today. sunshine. similarly across scotland. the rain will clear the mainland around lunchtime but at the mainland around lunchtime but at the same time it will sweep east anglia. much brighter tomorrow but much further west. come monday, high pressure still with us in the west keeping it fine and dry. rain out towards south—east england. it may be that once we catch the rain there in the east it will go for the next few days. it

just looked like the next few days we'll see drier and brighter weather, just if you shall is developing in the west. we will keep you up—to—date. are some weather warnings on our website. this is bbc news. the headlines at 7pm. 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. parts of wales suffer their worst flooding in 30 years. as storm callum causes misery with torrential downpours. the chancellor is coming under growing pressure from his own mps to find extra funding for universal credit. 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.
