a payday also i have never been a player who was going to just play and not care, i'm a player who ca res, and not care, i'm a player who cares, i care about what i do. that is me. i don't anything for granted, i will come out working and did my best and that is what i do. your relationship with the bands, one said he had named his cat after you so you must be making an impact! that is good to know! no, i think the fans have been brilliant and important to us as players. every week it is getting better. with the fa ns week it is getting better. with the fans one over on the side winning games, it seems the rooney revolution is in rude health. now, finally, pakistan should win the test series in abu dhabi. they've set australia 538 to win with two days to play. but that's not really what everyone is talking about. it was this peculiar dismissal. nice stroke from azhar ali — he was unbeaten on 64 at the time. he thought he'd picked up another

four but the ball stops just short of the boundary. by this time he's wandered to have a chat with fellow batsman asad shafiq. he's run out. the ball had not gone dead. pakistan still have that huge lead so the aussies will need to buckle down over the next couple of days. that's all from sportsday. the mind of the top story, eddie jones has named his england squad for the autumn internationals with eight uncapped players in there but no danny cipriani. full reaction to that on the website. from me and the rest of the team, goodbye for now. hello, you're watching bbc news.

the international development secretary, penny mordaunt, has been heckled at a conference about sex abuse in the aid sector. it follows a series of high—profile abuse scandals. one former aid worker and whistleblower from save the children confronted the cabinet minister on stage, alleging the government was trying to control women in the sector. naomi grimley reports. it was the scandal that shook the aid sector. this year we learned how some of oxfam's staff had severely compromised its dearly held values. they'd used young prostitutes in the aftermath of the 2010 haiti earthquake. the charity dismissed four members of staff and let three quietly resign without properly flagging up what had happened. and sexual harassment... today at a special safeguarding summit, the government made it clear it wants to turn the page on the sex abuse scandals in the aid sector. let there be no doubt that that is what we are here to do. notjust tinker around the edges

but to fundamentally rewrite the way this sector operates from root to branch. amongst the announcements were a new project with interpol to let charities access criminal records more quickly, and support for a so—called passport for aid workers, meaning charities can voluntarily pool information about job applicants. that is an excellent time for me to intervene, secretary of state. but as the minister was in full flow, she was interrupted by a protester who had been an aid worker but had quit in anger. this is about giving truth to power and i don't feel i have seen anything from what you have been coming out with with your pre—cooked summit solutions to tackle that. 0k. thank you for saying that. some of the anger is because save the children are helping to deliver the reforms when they have had their own scandal of sexual harassment in head office.

but the charity itself believes change is happening. it's not a silver bullet, other things need to happen alongside it, including organisations working together to share information inculding tough external scrutiny, and actually ensuring that cultures inside organisations change to put survivors and communities first. if nothing else, this eventful summit shows that the aid sector is still contorted about the way it has been run in the past. what sounds like a cat but looks like a bird? it's not the start to a bad joke, but a genuine description of a north american bird that has turned up in cornwall. the grey catbird has drawn thousands of keen birdwatchers to fields near lands end. it's only the second time it's been spotted in the uk. naomi dymond has been to take a look. binoculars and telescopes to hand.
6:55 pm
they came today to catch a glimpse of the catbird, a species native to north america. we have stepped away from the group because the name of the game is not only patience, but also silence. the twitchers are poised with their cameras and it really is a waiting game. what's it like when you are waiting and you actually spot it? it's not pleasurable, i have to say. ooh, there it goes. it's just gone past. oh, it has flown right over our heads. that was timing! it's extremely stressful, i have to say. when you have over a ao—minute wait and then it pops up, it is like relief. their patience was eventually rewarded. it's been blown across by the winds we've had recently and the conditions have brought it, it doesn't belong here,
6:56 pm
it is a rare bird. it is a migratory species in america and it mimics a catlike noise, which is why it is called a catbird. we didn't get close enough to hear it, but you can hear its call in this footage captured in florida. many travelled hundreds of miles today, so a lot depended on this little bird. i think it is about the longest i have had to wait for a bird without giving up. relief. i set out at 5am, so it is a relief. going to drive back now. it's not known how long the bird will survive here, but that's not stopping those keen to catch a glimpse while they can. naomi dymond, bbc news, cornwall. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz schafernaker. hello. most of us ended the day on a final note, it will be clear and chile for most of the night. a

little bit of rain on the way but not a lot. it is heading to western scotla nd not a lot. it is heading to western scotland and northern ireland —— chilly. this is the weather front that will bring the cloud and spots of rain to the north—west. elsewhere, high—pressure is driving the weather and we will see the clearer skies and chilly conditions this evening and overnight. let's look at the forecast. you can see the clear skies in many parts of the country, the winds freshening up by midnight in the north—west and maybe up midnight in the north—west and maybe up to gale forced. because of the rain reaching the northern isles. not quite so cold, 10 degrees in stornoway but elsewhere it will be five or six in most major towns and cities. the weather front will continue to move across scotland and northern ireland on friday. to the south, the high—pressure pretty much driving the weather. a lot of fine
6:58 pm
weather across england and wales. the weather front briefly brings some cloud and maybe some rain in glasgow and edinburgh and perhaps belfast. in the end, just a bit of cloud in the north. on the whole, dry foremost on friday and not bad, i7 dry foremost on friday and not bad, 17 in london, 11! in newcastle. saturday morning, the problems we could run into is the fog and it could run into is the fog and it could be very thick indeed. saturday morning, particularly in england and wales, the central areas, there could be some dense fog first thing. takeit could be some dense fog first thing. take it steady if you're travelling. it could cause some delay is not just on the roads but at the airports. it could even linger into the afternoon which means some of these temperatures would be lower. saturday into sunday, the weather front effecting the north—west, that means it will be windy with those isobars. some rain coming into
6:59 pm
scotla nd isobars. some rain coming into scotland and northern ireland. in the south, on sunday morning, there could be some fog and very little wind so it means in the morning it will be cloudy and foggy and possibly some sunshine after. you're watching beyond 100 days. could it take even longer for the uk to leave the european union? the eu says it's ready to extend the transition period if the uk wants to. but would those who voted for brexit sign off on a plan that would take another year and in return for billions more in contributions? what i've had from leaders around the table, over the last hours since i arrived here in brussles yesterday, is a very real sense that people want that deal to be done. the us treasury secretary pulls out of an investment conference in saudi arabia, but the white house is giving riyadh more time to investigate what happened to jamal khashoggi. they also assured me that they will conduct a complete,
