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. he's said he will call king salman to try to establish what happened to jamal khashoggi. the journalist vanished 11 days ago after visiting the saudi consulate in istanbul. turkey claims it has audio and video recordings proving that he was murdered inside the building, an allegation that saudi arabia strongly denies. our 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'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. 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. chris buckler reporting. ali al ahmed of the gulf institute

joins us now from washington. thank you for speaking to us on bbc news. from what you know about saudi arabia and how the ruling family operates, you think these accusations being levelled are remotely plausible? absolutely, they are plausible. every week basically you have similar condition when the saudi government choose to execute people in the streets instead of inside prisons because, and this limit them. sometimes leaving them today. so this kind of behaviour is common to send a message. it is to use this type of killing to control the population and spread terrifying fear, andi the population and spread terrifying fear, and i think this crime and basically the isis style murder was

lent to send a message to other followers of the royal who dare to ci’oss followers of the royal who dare to cross them. you think they would wa nt to cross them. you think they would want to send a message despite the international embarrassment that is now bringing? i think sometimes people take risks, and here, they a p pa re ntly people take risks, and here, they apparently did not calculate or they think the reaction would be the strong. i think they did not care about the turkish reaction, obviously, because they always have —— already have bad relations with them, but they did not think the international committee, especially the united states, would react this way. it doesn't fit in with the narrative we have had this last year of the crown prince, all maybe we just haven't been paying closer attention. what you think? i think it is really fitting, but the word is selective about what they react to, nobody is reacting, or very few people have reacting to the

starvation, that colorado, the crisis in the world, they did not react to the improvement —— collar —— cholera. i think he felt he can do this again, and that is why this happened. you are in washington. donald trump and there has said there will be severe punishment if it is proven, but also, that he won't threaten any deals. leaves them? there are other things besides military deals. expelling uber, and there are, for example, i don't think the saudi ambassador will ever come back again to washington, and they might ask others to leave and they might ask others to leave and they may not welcome salman for many

yea rs. they may not welcome salman for many years. some escalations include, i had to be publicly about human rights in saudi arabia, something the us has never done in 60 years, so the us has never done in 60 years, so maybe this is one of the things to spread democracy in that country, and the act divesting that country will want to have democracy —— the activists in that country. now international brands are pulling out of their big investment conference later this month. will that really embarrass the family?” later this month. will that really embarrass the family? i think it is an international image of the saudi arabian family is very important to them, they spend a lot of money. i remember when i first came to the united states actually is to organise protests against something that king salman, this multimillion dollar exhibition that he was

basically showing saudi arabia as a modern country that is beautiful and modern, and that this is something that they spend a lot of money, millions of dollars over the years to give themselves the image of a progressive monarchy that is very kind. that is not the case however because i think people are much more aware of what is going on inside that country. interestingly, some of those image makers are now refusing to work with saudi arabia. good to speak to you. thank you so much. as we heard earlier, president trump's comments on jamal khashoggi came as he welcomed the freed american evangelical pastor andrew bru nson to the oval office. he left turkey on friday after being detained for two years, leading to a diplomatic rift between washington and ankara. pastor brunson said he was grateful to all those who helped work for his release. this is a time to thank the

administration and people in government who supported us, and thatis government who supported us, and that is especially what we want. 0ur gratefulness. we love this country. last night we arrived in germany on a plane that president trump sent to us a plane that president trump sent to us to take us from turkey, and the ambassador met us at 1:30am and he had an american flag to give us that had an american flag to give us that had flown to the embassy in berlin. i took it and i kissed it. i love this country. andrew brunson there. let's get some of the day's other news. reports from the east of syria say so—called islamic state fighters have abducted more than 100 families from a camp for displaced people. those taken are said to include relatives of is members who had defected or been killed. the jihadists have been attempting to hit back against us—backed forces in heavy fighting around the town of hajin. more than 20 people have been killed

made some roads impassable. the only way to reach the stranded was from the air. we took a helicopter ride with a coastguard team from detroit, and the wreckage below was staggering. this is pretty much devastated. wow, look at that. yeah. pretty amazing to see the level of destruction caused by a storm like this. some parts look like someone literally came down with a hammer and smashed some of those homes and buildings. as of last night, the us coastguard has rescued approximately 63 people and assisted nearly 300. 0n the ground, we found people clearing away the debris from four feet of storm surge. eastpoint business owner michael malanda who rode out the storm says he's lucky to be a live. we've been blasted of here. the rest of them, you know, there's a lot of them who have lost

lives, i've heard. people like jason carpenter are now without a home, power and reliable cell service. we leant him our phone so he could contact his family for the first time since the storm hit. the storm, it tore the roof off and knocked trees down. i've had somebody help me with a chainsaw. ijust wanted to let you know that i was, you know, still alive. hurricane michael cut a destructive path through panama city. hundreds of utility workers are now here, ready to restore power. but the debris in this neighbourhood stopped crews from reaching a gas line that ruptured during the height of the storm. weary residents literally held their breath while gas company repairmen capped the leak. we don't have to breathe it anymore. i mean, that was one more hazard that we didn't need. today, we expect to see a couple more of the big stores open. yesterday, there was an incredibly long line for sam's club. some people reportedly waiting

at least five hours to get supplies. today, a local 0utback is expected to give out free lunches. we now know that this is the time, in the aftermath of a hurricane like this, where people in this community will be relying on anyone who can lend a helping hand. at least 22 people have been killed in an explosion at an election rally for a female candidate in afghanistan. police say explosives were stored in a motorcycle near the event in the province of takhar. officials say 32 people have been injured in the attack, some are critical. this latest attack comes after a wave of violence in recent weeks ahead of next saturday's parliamentary elections. the taliban and other islamist groups are opposed to the election process and have been targetting campaign rallies to deter people from voting. but security is not the only thing affecting people. afghanistan is one of the poorest countries in the world and people are growing increasingly disillusioned with politicians. secunder kermani reports from herat.

every day, this 6—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. stay with us on bbc news. still to come — thousands protest in the german capital against racism. it follows far—right demonstrations across the country in recent weeks and comes before crucial elections in bavaria. parts of san francisco least affected by the earthquake

are returning to life. but in the marina area, where most of the damage was done, they're more conscious than ever of how much has been destroyed. in the 19 years since he was last here, he's gone from being a little—known revolutionary to an experienced and successful diplomatic operator. it was a 20lb bomb which exploded on the fifth floor of the grand hotel, ripping a hole in the front of the building. this government will not weaken. democracy will prevail. it fills me with humility and gratitude to know that i have been chosen as the recipient of this foremost of earthly honours. this catholic nation held its breath for the men they call the 33. and then... bells toll bells tolled nationwide to announce the first rescue, and chile let out an almighty roar. this is bbc news.

german politics and society. jenny hill on the demonstrations against the far right in germany. motor racing, and a famous name is celebrating after winning the formula 3 european driver's championship. mick schumacher, the son of legendary driver, michael schumacher, clinched the title at hockenheim. some are now wondering if schumacherjunior might follow in his father's footsteps and make the leap into formula 1. the bbc‘s tim allman reports. there is something about this that looks so familiar. title has been won, soa looks so familiar. title has been won, so a mick schumacher must be celebrating. it means everything, to be honest, it is the first real championship that i have one and i have one with a lot of hard work. a lot of hard work, not only from myself, but really, the most work came from the team and reallyjust grateful for what they have done. mick schumacher went into mick schumacher with a big lead over his

nearest rivals p he didn't have to do anything too dramatic, just stay in the race and get to the chequered flag. no plans, acting that is the best plan you can have on the race weekend because you can never predict what is going to happen. you can have a strategy of what you're planning to do in what situation, i think i have that. planning to do in what situation, i thinki have that. but planning to do in what situation, i think i have that. but imagine the pressure, being michael schumacher‘s sun. his father, arguably the greatest driver of all time, who was then truly injured in a freak skiing accident. this title, likely to be in many ways, a tribute. genius isn't necessarily inherited, there isn't necessarily inherited, there isa isn't necessarily inherited, there is a guarantee his son will match the father, but this is a start, and after all, winning is the schumacher way. banksy‘s artwork, girl with a balloon, which shredded itself after it was sold at auction last week has gone back on display. the renamed, love is in the bin, was sold at sotheby‘s auction house

for more than one million pounds, before destroying itself moments later with a device built in to 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, now it's 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 destroying their own work? 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. he knows exactly what he is doing, doesn't he? you are watching bbc news. you can reach me on twitter. i'm @duncan golestani. back very soon, for now, thank you very much for your company. hello.

some parts of south wales have seen in excess of 200mm already since friday morning when the rain began. there are numerous flood warnings still out, notjust in wales, and yet more heavy rain to come through the day today. though eventually it does dry up in the west. it was really miserable in the rain and cold, only eight degrees in dalwhinnie. contrast that with 26 degrees in the sunshine in lincolnshire. that makes it the warmest day so late in the year. the reason for that is the air is being drawn up from the south. i need to point out this massive cloud which is the remnants of hurricane leslie. it has been bringing very powerful winds, 100mph, in across iberia. a real battering from those winds and potential flash flooding from the rains. with our weather front, we have another pulse of rain heading northwards along that weather front through the day as it edges eastwards. we are hoping it will have cleared away from northern ireland by the time we get to the morning

and then we have this fresher atlantic air coming in. it means a chilly start. still another day of really warm weather in eastern areas but not as warm as it was yesterday because we've got the rain. chilly start from northern ireland, potential for mist and fog, and then our weather front is sitting a little bit further east with further pulses of heavy rain running northwards so that may well exacerbate the flooding situation. we'll keep an eye on that. further west, some drier weather coming in. still met office yellow warnings out for the rain across wales, north—west england, southern scotland. you can see further east, a very different day. even if it stays mostly dry in east anglia and kent, we could get 20 degrees. we'll have a lot more cloud here and across central and north—eastern parts of england. western scotland, northern ireland, much brighter, 13 degrees. pleasant in the light winds. but even as we go through the night and into monday, the rain is still potentially hanging on across the south—eastern areas. but as it eventually clears away and we get under a ridge of high pressure, we will see temperatures dipping away overnight but but by day, nowhere near as high on monday. a fresher air stream.

it does mean some chilly nights. the weather front still close by to the south and east but under a ridge of high pressure, at this time of year, we can expect some fog and frost problems before we get the next atlantic weather system in. generally speaking, as we go into the start of the new week, the weather slowly improves. not for the short term, not through sunday, lots of heavy rain to come. but hopefully monday and a much weaker weather front on tuesday. bye— bye. this is bbc news. the headlines: president trump demands answers from saudi arabia about the fate of the missing journalist jamal khashoggi. he said he would call king salman and threatened the possibility of severe punishment if the country is responsible for mr khashoggi's disappearance and death. president trump says no bargain was reached with turkey to secure the release of the american evangelical pastor, andrew brunson, who had been held in detention

there for two years. mr brunson prayed with president trump during a meeting in the oval office. rescue teams are renewing efforts to find hundreds of people still missing after hurricane michael struck in the us state of florida on wednesday. at least 17 deaths are confirmed. there are fears the death toll will rise. tens of thousands of anti—racism demonstrators have been marching in berlin. an outbreak of the disease myxomatosis is being reported in british hares for the first time.
