news. president trump has promised to inflict severe punishment on saudi arabia if it's found to be behind the disappearance of a journalist in turkey. jamal khashoggi vanished in ii jamal khashoggi vanished in 11 days ago after visiting the saudi consulate in istanbul to obtain paperwork to marry his fiancee. turkey claims it has audio and video recordings proving that he was murdered inside the building, an allegation that saudi arabia strongly denies. 0ur washington correspondent chris buckler has this report. it contains some flashing images. a consulate is supposed to be a place of diplomatic protection, but the turkish authorities believe that behind these walls, jamal khashoggi was lured to his death and they're said to have recordings of the washington postjournalist being murdered by a saudi hit squad. there is pressure on donald trump to take action. lord god, i ask that you pour

out your holy spirit on president trump, that you give him supernatural wisdom... inside the oval office, he prayed with an evangelical pastor released after months of detention in turkey. but the questions were about what action he would take against the saudi government — if they were involved in mr khashoggi's death. he said there would be severe punishment, but ruled out sanctions that could prevent tens of billions of dollars of arms sales. i actually think we'd be punishing ourselves if we did that. there are other things we can do that are very, very powerful, very strong, and we'll do that. now as of this moment, nobody knows what happened — as of this moment. we're looking into it very seriously, turkey is looking into it at a very high level, at the highest level. and so is saudi arabia. jamal khashoggi went to the consulate to get papers for his wedding. his fiancee was waiting outside, but she never saw him

leave the building. the saudi interior minister insists claims that his body was dismembered are baseless allegations and lies. speaking to his supporters, turkey's president erdogan was careful with his words, but while he hasn't accused riyadh of murder, the authorities here have been leaking potentially incriminating information, and there may be more to come. this death along with other killings, not least the poisonings blamed on russia in salisbury, are concerning the un. i am 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. the turkish police have not been allowed to search the saudi consulate, but it's notjust the authorities in istanbul now investigating — this is an international incident, and potentially a crime with global consequences. earlier, chris told us it is still

unclear how far president trump will go with his threats against saudi arabia. dumont trump's language has hardened and he says he will speak directly to saudi arabia's king salman. —— donald trump. he is talking about severe punishment but it is difficult to know exactly what he means. he has already ruled out economic sanctions because it would stop lucrative arms sales and potentially put jobs stop lucrative arms sales and potentially putjobs at risk in the us. when asked what his alternatives would he, he simply said there was a long, long list. he would not be specific. there is growing pressure for him to act, which is true internationally but also here in washington. a group of senators have launched their own investigation and that could potentially lead to sanctions anyway. donald trump does wa nt to sanctions anyway. donald trump does want to keep a good relationship with riyadh, and that is understandable, because they are an

important ally for america in the middle east. but he knows that if turkey does produce evidence of the murder of a journalist inside a consulate, and they do say they have evidence, that could put him in a very difficult position indeed. that was chris buckler in washington. the leasing can other sharp have confirmed one person has died ina sharp have confirmed one person has died in a landslide as wales suffers its worst flooding in 30 years. —— police in caernarfonshire. 0ver its worst flooding in 30 years. —— police in caernarfonshire. over 2000 homes and businesses in england have also been left without power, as flood defences were breached. more than 30 flood warnings are still in place. people in one village in south wales are readying to evacuate because of rising water levels. it is streaming through the middle of the house at the moment. this home in aberdulais is has been ruined by a storm callum. 0vernight, the torrential rain which caused havoc across south wales has devastated this family's home. havoc across south wales has devastated this family's homelj don't know how long it will take for a two or go down. we arejust waiting for it to dry out, i guess,

increasing capacity. a man in his 20s was stabbed in a car park in a shopping centre in dudley in the west midlands in the early hours. west midlands in the early hours. west midlands in the early hours. west midlands police say three men have been arrested on suspicion of murder and remain have been arrested on suspicion of murderand remain in 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 goater in the west of the country. some of the victims were members of a south korea next edition team. 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 reuse or as a donation to charity. hospital bosses say it is to reduce costs and the impact on the environment. joe black reports. crutches, walking frames, wheelchairs. if you are injured or struggling to walk, they are invaluable. but many of us are hanging onto these devices and cluttering up our homes. now we are being encouraged to give them back.

health bosses say that returning equipment like this not only saves the nhs money, but also helps to reduce waste. within a budget that is 125 early in pounds, to date, this has been seen as a small value item. —— 125 billion pounds. the cost of crutches is relatively low contagion many other things the nhs is dealing with. i don't think it is a high priority in the nhs. a set of crutches cost approximately £7. a walking frame, around £18. figures provided by the department of health showed 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. thank 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. more than 100,000 people are believed to have taken part in a demonstration against the shift to the right in german politics and society. the rally took place after a number offar society. the rally took place after a number of far right protests were held in cities across the country in recent weeks. our berlin correspondentjenny hill sent this update. 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 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 a lot of protests by the far—right. think back to september and the violent scenes on the streets of kemnitz 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 from kemnitz that were beamed all over the world. 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 very

divisive subject and still has the power to bring people onto the streets — like this. the headlines on bbc news: president trump says saudi arabia will be punished severely if claims it is involved in the murder of a saudi journalist are substantiated. parts of wales suffer their worst flooding in 30 years as storm callum causes chaos. 20 people died in a bomb attack in afghanistan as the country prepares for its parliamentary elections. time for sport. a full round—up from the bbc sports centre withjohn. we can have rugby league's super the first time after a win over warrington. it was the perfect sendoff. our sports correspondent adam wilde reports. old trafford is a rugby league

reaches its big crescendo. this season's swansong, no encores or second chancers. wigan or warrington, only one good finish the year on the very highest note. it's ourtime again! it's going to happen. for some, the final was more final than others, for 30 years wigan coach shaun wane says goodbye to his hometown club but warrington, desperate to achieve what they have not in more than 60 years, there is was a better start asjosh charnley slid in. these sides are so evenly balanced it was not long before the scores were even again. when tom davis just managed to get his hand on this one, wigan had the lead before half—time. sam tomkins is another, ending his wigan career here. he was perhaps lucky it did not end sooner. escaping serious punishment for this but that only ramped up tensions even higher.

the break could not cool them down. it took until the dying breath of the season to win it. it came in the form of a wigan rorer, dom manfredi with the decisive score. and so a grand finalfairy tale finish for the wigan warriors. as they say goodbye to some of their biggest names. they finish on the ultimate high. super league champions again. adam wild, bbc news, at old trafford. this is my last time in his famous jersey. there is only one way to leave and that is with a win. just seeing the embrace between you and your coach. that's the special relationship, isn't it? my coach has been a big part of my life, since i was 15 years old. it was fitting that we got him another wind. and the success didn't end there as wigan beat leeds in the women's grand final. the match was tied at 16—16 heading into the final minute, charlotte foley's penalty

dozens more wounded at after an explosion after an election rally at north—east afghanistan. the people have been killed, mostly in targeted attacks. on the one in five people are registered to vote in harrer after people are growing increasingly disillusioned with their politicians. —— 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 many 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. emergency services were called early this afternoon to a large fire at a store in york. people were advised to stay indoors and close their windows until the incident had been dealt with. north yorkshire police said the blaze which broke out in the storage yard created habitants —— hazardous conditions. fortu nately, —— hazardous conditions. fortunately, nobody needed to be taken to hospital. an outbreak of the disease myxomatosis has been reported in british head for the first time. —— hares. it could kill huge swathes of the population. mix in the ptosis is a viral disease causing inflammation of the eyes,
