hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. could it take even longer for the uk to completely leave the european union? the eu says it is ready to extend the length of the post—brexit transition period if the uk wants to. but theresa may has come under pressure from across her party after suggesting she's prepared to consider delaying the uk's departure from the eu. what i have heard from leaders around the table over the last since i arrived here in brussels yesterday is a very real sense that people want the 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 a saudi journalist. and we'll hear from lyse doucet in kabul, where violence has escalated ahead of the crucial parliamentary elections on saturday. more brexit.

theresa may says the uk's transition out of the eu could be extended by "a matter of months". it's currently due to run from the end of march until the end of 2020. here's what she said today. this is an idea that's been around before. i've been asked about the potential of an extension in the house of commons recently. i've a lwa ys house of commons recently. i've always been clear that we negotiate an implementation with the eu, and we negotiate that period would end at the end of december 2020. what has now emerged as the idea that an option to extend the implementation period could be a further solution to this issue of the backstop in northern ireland. what we are not doing, we are not standing here proposing an extension to the

implementation period. what we are doing is working to ensure we have a solution to the backstop issue in northern ireland, that enables us, which is currently a blockage to completing the deal, to get on with completing the deal, to get on with completing a deal that delivers on the vote of the british people, and is good for the people of the uk. you might remember that the summit in salzburg ended with a bitter taste. now the tone is kinder. the eu says it would extend the transition period if the uk wants to. here's european council president donald tusk. we are in a much better mood. what i feel today is that we are closer to... final solutions, and the deal. but this may be a more emotional impression that a rational one. but as you know, emotions matter in politics. kind words all well and good,

but the fact is the saga continues without solution. the timetable is slipping away, as the bbc‘s rob watson explains. what theresa may had promised us living in britain and everyone around the world was that by this time, we would have the divorce agreement, withdrawal treaty, and an agreement, withdrawal treaty, and an agreement about print‘s future relationship with the eu, and that so—called transition period from march of next year to the end of 2020, it was all about and for letting that. we are absolutely nowhere near that. this is where reality comes in, it's the idea that it may well take more than from now until 2022 negotiate the future relationship. the length of the transition period will be included on the withdrawal bill that the uk parliament will vote on, so may needs her party's support. and she's on shaky ground. pro—brexit mps have expressed their displeasure at being tied to the eu for longer. let me show you this.

and this story from the express, pro—brexit paper. "brexit betrayal: may considers eu plot to keep uk locked to brussels for three years." i've been speaking to christian fraser in brussels. i asked him, how would extra time help with the irish border issue? the simple answer it won't, because all it really does is push the issue further issue further and further down the line. now if you are to be

an optimistand down the line. now if you are to be an optimist and perhaps those who voted to remain at my see it this way, some of them could say that what they're doing is extending the negotiation period by another year to almost three years, and that should give you a future trading partnership that makes the backstop redundant. that would be the optimistic reading of it. the other way is that the chequers plan that she has but on the table, this idea of staying in a customs relationship, that does not solve theissue relationship, that does not solve the issue itself. because as angela merkel said just the other day, if you are leaving the single market and you are a third country, you can never have truly frictionless trade with the single market. so at some point, you have to face up to the fa ct point, you have to face up to the fact that there will have to be some regulatory customs checks between great britain and northern ireland. you can make those light touch, but at some point the british political establishment must face up to that point. now either you have a very free trade agreement like canada, or

you have to sign up to the customs union and the single market with no say. and who really wants that? neither side wants that. you've been talking to lots of european politicians over the last few days, is there more appetite for more talks reaching into the future? brexit support in the eu, it is not the only issue the eu is wrestling with. no, quite the reverse. they have the italian budget problem, immigration at the moment, they have lots of talks on cyber security and terrorism, security in general. all those things preoccupy the european union, and on the sidelines here, they're probably very much focused on their 12th asian summit, the eu asian summit which brings in 51 heads of state of government together representing two thirds of the global population. that is big fish for the european union, so brexit at the moment is very much a

narrow issue for eu. having said that, of course you want a deal with the fifth biggest economy in the world. it has applications for britain as it does the eu, so they will keep talking. that november summit isa will keep talking. that november summit is a go if they can get some movement into negotiation in the next few weeks, but that is a big if at the current time. is there a deadline, and actual deadline by which they have to do this deal? or is it just to which they have to do this deal? or is itjust to late? there are some people who say they have kept the european parliament so involved in the process throughout that once they get an agreement, it could go through the parliament very quickly, because it is the british and european parliaments that have to sign off and ratified. but i spoke to the vice president of the european part —— department,... in her view, it needs to be done by christmas. i don't want to be sitting down to my christmas dinner

with nothing on the table, she says. if you want to get more on brexit, visit the bbc news website. this is a tweet from us treasury secretary steven mnuchin. he's talking about this, an event that has been dubbed davos in the desert. companies and politicians from round the world were scheduled to come. less so now, that's because of the disappearance of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi. the washington post has published what it says is his last column. it's headlined, "what the arab world needs most is free expression." at the top of it is a note from the opinions editor karen attiah, saying... she spoke to the bbc earlier. he can't see how much of an impact

his pieces already having around the world, translating into arabic, seeing that it is spiking in traffic on our side right now. this is the exact audience he wanted to reach. in some ways, this was his dream. and i'm heartbroken that he is not here to see it. mr khashoggi walked into the saudi consulate in istanbul more than two weeks ago. he hasn't been heard from since. turkish officials say they have evidence he was killed. here's mark lowen in istanbul. details have been leaked from them over the last week or so to the turkish pro—government media. macabre details of how jamal khashoggi was dismembered. he is said to havertz creams from outside the consulate. there are reports that, for example, the torturer was told by the consular general, "please don't do this

inside the room", and he barked back, "if you want to stay alive and go back to saudi arabia, shut up"! we simply don't know whether all this is an attempt by turkey to exert pressure over saudi arabia to have leverage over them, or whether it is actually factitious. or whether it actually does exist, but the turks are not releasing it other intelligence agencies and governments because turkey does not want to show that perhaps it bugs its consulates. it is very murky indeed, but if they were to be released, i think that would be the game changer here because it would point to incriminating evidence, both of mr khashoggi's killing, but also who was behind it. and i think that would make attempts by donald trump to try to engineer a way out for the saudis, which he seems to be doing at the moment, increasingly difficult for him to do. helping the saudis out of this situation will be harder now that the us treasury secretary has pulled out of davos in the desert. that event is part of a broader saudi initiative called vision 2030. that's trying to position

saudi arabia as an "exemplary nation in all aspects". the khashoggi disappearance makes that hard. so does its resistance to democracy, institutionalised discrimination against women, obstruction of human rights, limits on freedom of speech, and recent record of killing significant numbers of civilians in yemen. ealier i spoke to sebastian usher, bbc middle east analyst, and joshua cheetham, bbc business about how hard this latest incident will hit saudi arabia. this event was started last year as a way to bring in a huge amount of foreign investment into saudi arabia. as i'm sure you know, since the 19705, the country has been tried it over its economy away from oil, which it is hugely reliant on at the moment. it is that arab world's largest economy, it has huge

hitting power in this conference, which represents a real opportunity to expand on its strengths forward and build new ones. forgive me for being 5ceptical, but saudi arabia doe5 quite a few things which generally the west in particular doe5 generally the west in particular does not approve of, yet the west are so does not approve of, yet the west are so quite happy to do business with it? well you know, the simple answer to that is that this is such answer to that is that this is such an extraordinary event that has happened at the details that western allies of saudi arabia have been unable to basically see off the pressures as they have done so many times before and smoothed over. that is still what the effort is, trump remarks he has made, even those made in western capitals trying to do the same thing. but the trip —— pressure is so strong that we saw today for the first time, talking about the conference, we the first time, talking about the conference , we saw the first time, talking about the conference, we saw business leaders pull—out, media moguls pull out. today was a day for the politicians to pull out. we saw four ministers

pulling out, a british minister, french minister, a dutch minister, and most importantly the us secretary of treasury, steven mnuchin, saying now is not the right time to be seen in rehab. message is it is not the right time and month or so it is not the right time and month or so later. was about to say, because i understand this get—together i5 because i understand this get—together is important, but we don't see deal5 being cancelled, are we? i've been speaking to dozens of companies over the last few days, and what a lot of people are saying i5 and what a lot of people are saying is that although a lot of big names and chief executives are ducking out of this conference in public, a lot of this conference in public, a lot of these companies will still be sending people to the conference itself. so in some ways, they get to have their cake and eat it. they get to present themselves as moral, upstanding firms, whilst also making money off this conference. saudi arabia i5 money off this conference. saudi arabia is not just money off this conference. saudi arabia i5 notjust important for having lots of money, but its

position in the region which is why the5e position in the region which is why these relationships matter? yes. the first answer to that is that it used to be seen in the west —— us as a source to be seen in the west —— us as a source of stability in the us, that has been shaken in the last three years. and there'll be something which people are concerned about in western capitals, perhaps it has gone too far now, that this instability which we have learned to live with over the last three years is too much, we need to go back to the way things were before. the other side is the security links, the information that the saudis give, which are useful to intelligence agencies dealing with jihadist threats, those sorts of things. as mike pompeo was saying just today, this is a relationship that goes back decades and decades. and it is one that until now has been pretty firm and rooted. and it

seems unlikely, however awful this event is, that it will be shaken that strongly. so diplomatic terms unlikely, in business terms, the companies you talk to off the record are not turning up next week, but are not turning up next week, but are any of them talking about a long—term 5hift are any of them talking about a long—term shift in strategy?m depends on the strategy. a really big hitter in the defence sector has not changed his plans at all. why would they? 20% of its exports go to saudi arabia alone. but you have lots of other companies like uber, tech giants like google who are trying to make much more of an inroads into saudi arabia. but also energy firms like bp, whoever presents there already. saudi arabia is already thinking about diversifying its economy away from oil, so they will be looking into ways to keep that stake in saudi arabia, notjust ways to keep that stake in saudi arabia, not just in ways to keep that stake in saudi arabia, notjust in oil, but perhaps in other energy sectors and commodities, infrastructures. so it isa commodities, infrastructures. so it is a really mixed bag and a very interesting time to be in business

right now. stay with us on outside source — still to come. a group of hondurans who say they're escaping poverty and violence are making their way to the us border. president trump doesn't want them. you can imagine what he thinks about that. the parts of san francisco least affected by the earthquake are returning to life. but in the marina area, they're more conscious of than ever about how much is been destroyed. in the 19 years and she was last year, he has gone from being a little—known revolutionary to experience 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 hotel. 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 on her. this catholic nation held its breath for the man they call the 33. and then... bells told nationwide to announce the first rescue. in chile let out an almighty roar. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story. the eu says it could extend the length of the post—brexit transition period, if the uk wants to. but theresa may is under pressure from across her party after suggesting she's prepared to consider delaying the uk's complete departure from the eu. let's bring you more stories from the bbc world service. one of the main promoters of women's football in mexico, marbella ibarra, has been killed.

she was the founder of mexico's first professional women's football team. that story is on bbc mundo. the high—profile vietnamese dissident and writer known as mother mushroom has arrived in the us with her children and mother after being released from jail. m5 nguyen left vietnam on wednesday. in 2017, she was sentenced to ten years in jail for distributing propaganda against the state. that's from bbc vietnamese. and the most—watched video on bbc.com features this lion cub. it was rejected by its mother in a sri lankan zoo, but a dog that had just given birth to puppies came to the rescue. what a happy ending. take a look at these pictures. they show a group of honduran migrants travelling towards the united states. they say they're escaping violence and poverty. certainly we know that gang culture, drug wars and corruption are problems in honduras, and that more than half the population there lives in poverty. fewer than 200 people originally set off on friday from san pedro sula,

a honduran crime hotspot. some 3,000 hondurans joined them along the way. on monday, they pushed across the border into guatemala, despite a heavy police presence and government order to block their route. they've now arrived at the border between guatemala and mexico, and they hope to reach the border with the us. president trump is not happy. he says... arturo wallace, bbc mundo on the plight of those hondurans. we have seen this happening before

her, like the migration from central america into the united states has been taking place for decades now. currently, some one tenth of the population already lives in the us, like1 million population already lives in the us, like 1 million hondurans. population already lives in the us, like1 million hondurans. they are fleeing from very horrible conditions. this time they're doing it quite openly, because they also wa nt to ta ke it quite openly, because they also want to take a political stance and make their plight a little more visible. at the same time, they are fleeing from horrible things. san pedro sula was long known as the murder capital of the world. there are nearly 500,000, that gives you an idea. they're also looking for more opportunities, their the third poorest country in the western hemisphere. we have already seen images of anti—riot police arriving

to the borders, but it is a very difficult border. if they stop to caravan, which is soon to be seen, migrants will always find ways to cross into mexico, and probably to cross into mexico, and probably to cross into mexico, and probably to cross into the us, as well. stocks have been falling today while german and us bond prices are on the rise. investors are looking for safer assets in the wake of the issues like the us—china trade war, italy's budget concerns and saudi arabia's current situation. samira hussain in new york. where are they deciding is a safer place to put their money? you pretty much encapsulated exactly why we are seeing such big drops on markets. us markets are disclosed for trading, and we are seeing that they have fallen by more than 300 points. so it isa fallen by more than 300 points. so it is a bit ofa fallen by more than 300 points. so it is a bit of a drop, and the volatility really is coming because

some of the things that you have mentioned, fears about the us— trade relations, but also interest rates. so investors a re relations, but also interest rates. so investors are moving away from the market going in the bonds, because that is probably going to yield them more money than they would on the stock market, at least thatis would on the stock market, at least that is why you're seeing some of those trends. but as ever, there is lots of volatility these days, especially in the lead up to the midterm elections. thank you very much. a quick update today, we will talk next week about it. another victim of the cut throat competition in the low—cost airline business. cobalt, which has operated flights in and out of cyprus since 2016, including flying uk holiday—makers to the island, has suspended operations. leisha sa ntorelli reports. the collapse of cobalt air comes after it was unable to strike a new long—term financing deal with a new investor. now the company's main backers are actually chinese, but it is believed that the trade tensions between the us and china is causing knock—on effects in businesses around the world. because according to reports, chinese investors are finding it very hard to export capital

or to take money out of mainland china due to new government restrictions. now the collapse of cobalt air isn't particularly news because we have seen other budget airlines collapse in recent months. just two weeks ago, the danish budget airline primera air went into administration, as did the belgian airline skyworks. to give you some background, cobalt air actually began operations in 2016 after cyprus's national carrier went bankrupt. since then, it has expanded its roots and fleets really rapidly, therefore requiring a lot of money to keep going. cyprus‘ government has said they will pay for the passengers to make their way back home, but there was no word yet as to what will happen to cobalt air's 200 employees. the white house has started the process of withdrawing from an international postal treaty which it says lets china ship goods at unfairly low prices. celia hatton has more.

a lot of american companies have been complaining about this for a long time. from big huge retailers like amazon, down to little businesses. they say that it is an unfair advantage that china has over a lot of countries, including the us. so let's take a package, a two kilo package. if you ship it from china to the us, they cost $5 in postal fees under this 144—year—old treaty. within the united states, if you are going to ship the same package, it would cost at least double that. and if you were to send that same packet back to china, it would cost way more, through the roof. so a lot of retailers have been saying for ages, "this is a big problem, the united states is basically subsidizing cheap shipping from china to the united states". i think a lot of countries around the world are saying it that in 1969, this treaty was revamped to give developing countries cheaper ways to post packages out to richer countries. and they're saying, "look, we need to take e—commerce into account.

it has changed everything on its head." so now a lot of companies in china can undercut companies from around the world. its shipping rates are so cheap, the products themselves are cheap, and it makes it much more difficult for companies around the world. thanks to celia. in a couple of minutes, we will be talking about the elections in afghanistan. parliamentary elections on saturday, oui’ parliamentary elections on saturday, our chief correspondent, we have been speaking to her in the last few minutes, i will play the discussion. you'll not be surprised to know these elections are taking place with serious violence going on. we will concentrate on a very high—level attack in kandahar, which left a security official said. that's coming up in a couple of minutes. good evening. it is a time of day,

we ta ke good evening. it is a time of day, we take a look weather around the world. first off it is north africa, flooding across parts of tds you. if we look at a satellite image, it shows a lump of cloud here producing really heavy torrential downpours of rain. that cloud is shifting further north into the mediterranean, but it will continue to be a bit of a troublemaker, shifting across into eastern parts of spain. so we could see flooding parts across eastern spain, some heavy rain for barcelona on friday. gibraltar seeing heavy rain, we have warnings across southern and eastern parts of spain. all that heavy rain will be lasting through friday and into the weekend. further north in the central parts of europe, we have some warm and sunny weather on the cards. france, switzerland and into italy. further north, unsettled across parts of western scandinavia, and wet and windy weather develops here during the course of the weekend. the other

side of the atlantic, the last couple of days, this clown has been slow—moving, causing devastating flooding in parts of texas. we have already seen 150 mm of rain and one 01’ already seen 150 mm of rain and one or two spots, making it in parts of texas already the wettest autumn and earth. —— on record. with more rain is coming across texas over the next few days. but the high pressure holds on in the east, a much drier picture for florida, georgia and up towards new york, but that cool breeze is developing here. blue colours and cold air across eastern parts of canada into the northeast all stop contrast that with the northwest us and western canada, where temperatures are warm for this time of year. a dip in those two pitchers in montreal as cool and breezy conditions develop. los angeles, sunshine with highs of up to 30 degrees. across australia, dry

weather, but a front is bringing cool conditions in. after those heavy recent downpours of rain on my we are in for a bit of a drier spell. showers aiding away, and as we crossed new zealand, this big area of high pressure will be dominating the weather to the weekend, bringing plenty of some spring up on offer. a few showers through sunday and monday in the wellington in new zealand. sunny spells lasting over the next five days or so. closer to home, the outlook in the uk is dry. some cloud and rain at times across the far northwest of the country, and we are looking at mist and fog developing overnight. high pressure in charge for many of us, this weather front brings more clout and if you spots of rain into scotland. goodbye for now. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. could it take even longer for the uk to completely leave the european union? white

the eu says it is ready to extend the length of the post—brexit transition period if the uk wants to. but theresa may has come under pressure from across her party after suggesting she's prepared to consider delaying the uk's departure from the eu. what i have heard from leaders around the table over the last hours that i have been... since i arrived here in brussels 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 a saudi journalist. and... shredding half an expensive painting is extravagant enough, but banksy now says he intended to rip up the whole thing. it did not go to plan. let's turn to afghanistan now.

we ta ke we take an extended look at the afghanistan elections. violence has escalated ahead of parlimentary elections on saturday. in the southern province of kandahar, a rogue gunman, posing as a bodyguard has wiped out much of the leadership in the region. one of afghanistan's most powerful security officials — general abdul raziq was killed. the taliban claimed responsibility — calling him a "brutal police chief". the head of intelligence was also murdered and the governor himself is critically injured. they were attending a high—level security meeting, with top us commander general scott miller. he escaped unhurt. this comes just one day after a candidate was killed in helmand province. a bomb was placed under his office chair. amid the violence and intimiation, afghan president ashraf ghani has appealed to his people to vote. translation: my wish for the people of afghanistan, especially for those who are over 18 and nominated for the election, is to vote and participate.

holding this election is going to be a victory for the brave afghan security forces. it will also be a victory for the people of afghanistan and for democracy. but the reality is that voters are scared. this is the website of "the armed conflict location and event data project" — it collects data on political violence in the middle east and asia. it says that since the election date was announced on april 1st, more than 100 civilians and security personnel have been killed — and at least 10 candidates have been murdered. the bbc‘s chief international correspondent lyse doucet is in kabul — she sent this report. we will hear from her in a we will hearfrom her in a minute but first here latest report. the palace of, a place of peace became a symbol of a painful war. now it's being restored to its full splendour.

—— old splendour by a new generation. these two women were barred from school when the taliban ruled, now they're engineers. everyone outside afghanistan sees the crisis we are going through, but we are staying here, daring to stand with our brothers to rebuild our country. next door, forbidding security wraps around the american university of afghanistan. law students prepare for their exams, in a country often lawless and corrupt. two years ago their peaceful oasis was stormed by gunmen. nazia bears the scars of that battle, glass sliced herface. i remember each and every second of that night. my father wanted me to go to dubai university, but ijust wanted to stay here just

because to show the taliban that they cannot scare us or intimidate us by taking our schools. along the avenue outside, a blizzard of posters for parliamentary polls. more young, educated afghans are running than ever before. taking on old warlords and their sons. but at this roundabout, no one is looking at posters. they are looking for work, any work, as the day begins. desperation written all over this road of last resort. 18—year—old yasser says he only gets a job a few times a week. most of the people you see here are educated. you basically have two choices, join the army, in a week, a month, ora year, you die, or you leave the country. this begins to tell you why so many young afghans are choosing to leave afghanistan,

a place which offers them little work or safety, or even some hope that their life here will get any better than this. the story of a country's pain is told in kabul‘s emergency hospital. mohammed, attacked by a warlord, a leg chopped off. abdellah, shot by local police, and this one came under caliban fire, all in the last week, all in their 205. and fahreed, just a bystander during a family feud, shot in both legs, still scared to show his face. he came back to afghanistan after ten years as a refugee to marry, to be a gardener. "it won't get any better," he tells me, "just worse." all eyes are on saturday's elections. in this police control room we watch their cameras across kabul.

more forces on the streets to stop threats of violence and vote rigging. afghanistan's new war between dark forces of the past and people fighting to move forward. earlier i spoke to lyse, and asked what the main issues at stake in the election were. security is undeniably a main issue. afg ha ns a re security is undeniably a main issue. afghans are literally risking their lives to go out and cast their ballots. people are dying on a daily basis, either candidates or election officials or innocent bystanders, and this last 48 hours is absolutely crucial. there is this feeling but caliban could be preparing for another spectacular attack. we have rdc miss in kandahar, killing the officials responsible for bringing a measure of security and stability not just to kandahar measure of security and stability notjust to kandahar but measure of security and stability not just to kandahar but to measure of security and stability notjust to kandahar but to the south —— we have already seen this in kandahar. across social media

tonight afghans are hailing the dead in kandaharas afghan tonight afghans are hailing the dead in kandahar as afghan heroes and patriots, but so much is at stake in these elections, especially for a generation of young, educated afg ha ns. generation of young, educated afghans. they are running in record numbers against the warlords and the sons of warlords, hoping against hope that these elections and new policies, new faces can move this country forward, but tonight i can say a lot of them must be thinking of, my goodness, we are being pulled back again into the darkness. how can we possibly move forward? back again into the darkness. how can we possibly move forward ?|j would like to hear more about b's new faces and new policies. what are the new entrants into afghan politics offering the electorate? literally new faces. they are offering... this is the generation that came of age after the fall of the taliban and in 20 —— 2001. they grab the opportunities for education in afghanistan and in the west, they grab the opportunities forjobs and experience, and now you across the

government and across society. they are now women who are deputy finance ministers, deputy foreign ministers. you have afghans setting up their own consultancies. i went to the american university of afghanistan this week which came under attack two years ago and to a student they said yes, we remember every second of that dreadful night. some of them still showing the scars, but we're not going to let the caliban scare us. not going to let the caliban scare us. i have heard this time and again here over the past week —— let the taliban and scare us. they say they are not afraid, but they know the risks are real, but they are not joining the large numbers of afg ha ns, joining the large numbers of afghans, thousands of afghans every week leading this country. they are determined to stay put, but will the space, the political, security space be opened up for them? this is the new war in afghanistan now. in the last minute of the programme i have been lucky enough to cover lots of elections around the world but never one of afghanistan. what is it like? are there posters everywhere? is eve ryo ne are there posters everywhere? is everyone talking about it? when you go down the streets of kabul, and we

have only been there this time, there is no space. the telephone poles, the billboards, the sides of buildings, it is a blizzard of posters everywhere you go. the enthusiasm is extraordinary, and what they call serious billionaires, and there are many of them, they are spending millions on this chance to go into the next parliament. it is an extraordinary show of commitment and courage here in this country. i covered the first afghan elections after the fall of the caliban, many afg ha ns after the fall of the caliban, many afghans cried. they have lost that sense of hope, and this time they are vigilant. they want to make sure that their vote count. thank you very much. more information on that story and all the others on our website. president putin said yesterday's deadly gun and bomb attack on a college in crimea was influenced by american school shootings. 15 students and five teachers died. some more images and information have emerged. these images caught on mobile

phone inside the college show the moment of the attack, and the panicked students running for their lives. the teenaged girl who shot that footage made it out alive. next i want to show you this image. it's of the attacker, 18—year—old vladislav roslya kov. he was said to be a shy student, a loner. after his killing spree he then turned the gun on himself in the college library. today this cctv footage emerged apparently showing vladislav roslya kov buying ammunition in a local gunshop two days before the attack. he'd obtained a weapons licence a month ago. here's crimea's leader sergei aksyonov. we must find out what it was that

made this monster commit this crime. when i spoke to the college director she told me he was never in trouble, he never aroused suspicion. from what —— for more on what vladimir putin has been saying about the connection here is our bbc russia correspondent. his idea was that the russian students are taking the american shooting in the schools and universities promoted and due to the lack of positive information, that is what the police said, this is more of the influence on the americans to the russians. in russia there have been until now seven incidents in schools with all kinds of weapons, including firearms and including one with at least one with a fatality when the school boy in moscow shot a teacher and a been a policeman and eventually he was taken into

policeman and eventually he was ta ken into custody. policeman and eventually he was taken into custody. what have we learned about how the attacker in this case managed to get a bomb and guns as well? that is sort of a puzzle. with the guns as far as the russian media reports, he shortly before the incident obtained a hunting license. in russia a private firearm district we prohibited, but there is a gap in that band. you can become a professional licensed hunter, and you can buy firearms and thatis hunter, and you can buy firearms and that is what he presumably did. he bought a gun and 250 cartridges. then with the bomb, and how he managed to get all of this stuff into the school, into the college, thatis into the school, into the college, that is a bit puzzling because we have the photographs and we have the witnesses that there have been metal

detectors. they walk metal detectors, all three entrances, main entrances to the school and they we re entrances to the school and they were just recently installed, but have the same time witnesses say that they either were not working or at nobody cared about them. that is typical for russia, i can tell you. they are everywhere, those frames, but in many places they simply do not work and in other places there are no people to care about them buzzing or beeping, whatever they do. thank you very much for that. switching to india now to bring you the latest on india's me too movement. a court in delhi has admitted a defamation case brought by india's former junior foreign minister, mj akbar — it's against a journalist who's accused him of sexual misconduct almost 20 years ago. mr akbar was a prominent newspaper editor and now, india's top media editors are asking him to withdraw the case. he's already resigned — he says in order to fight the defamation case in a personal capacity. this comes after a number of other

allegations were made, all of which he denies. devina gupta has this report. ina in a country where women are considered only 25% of the workforce, the me too movement has triggered movement in the public a cts triggered movement in the public acts —— offers on the existing sexual—harassment laws and what constitutes consent and what is not. now the movement is going from the social media to the local —— legal domain. one of the most high—profile name is that of ninja —— mj akbar who stepped down yesterday from the post of is junior who stepped down yesterday from the post of i'sjunior foreign minister and has now challenged one of the womenjournalist and has now challenged one of the women journalist who's accused him of sexual misconduct in the court. he's filed a defamation case today against the accuser when he was the editor in chief of the leading in this news daily. she says she feels vindicated and will be fighting this

battle in the court. she's already got support of almost 20 women journalist who have worked with mr akbar before and have leveled similar allegations. the next hearing will be on a sober 31st when hearing will be on a sober 31st when he will be presenting his side of the story. the outcome of this case is being watched closely because for the first time the country's court will be deciding on the legal boundaries of social media will stop staying in india because there's an outbreak of the zika virus. injaipur in rajasthan state, there are now close to 100 cases. it's particularly serious for pregnant womenbecause of the birth defects that the virus can cause. india's health minister held a meeting in new delhi this week. he said: "constant monitoring is underway." and that there's "no need to panic but to be vigilant." sangeetha rajan has more and tells us how common zika is, in india. the first case of the zika virus was

reported by the who last year between november 2016 and 2017 three cases in india have been reported to the zika positive —— to be zika positive and that was the first week came to know about. the second was later last year in the southern state, another case of zika positive reported. this time, this is the third outbreak and is the biggest so far, so as you know it is affecting 94 people so far, which includes at least —— at least 22 pregnant women. what can the authorities do to try to contain this particular outbreak? the health ministry has said it has sent a team of health officials, health workers and doctors on ground to the state of rajasthan to try and stop the spread to monitor people and to give travel advice and the state government as well have taken equal measures. it has said that it's monitoring at least 400,000

people in the locality, and it is monitoring more pregnant women and is isolating people who have been tested positive for the zika virus in places, and there's another big problem like mosquitoes, which is a big problem in india, controlling mosquitoes and there's lots of breeding grounds. there's lots of puddles, small puddles, and i think that can be a big challenge, but the government is saying it is taking a lot of measures to kind of stopped this from spreading, monitoring people and giving advice and campaigning to the public. people and giving advice and campaigning to the publiclj people and giving advice and campaigning to the public. i think for a lot of us when we think about the zika virus would think about brazil because of the seriousness of the situation there relatively recently. is india getting advice from countries which have experienced the zika virus were from organizations like the whl? india has the public health ministry announcing in the past that the top few diseases that the health

ministry is having an eye on and one of those diseases with the zika virus. it had given out advice when it happened in brazil, giving advice if it comes to india what kind of measures will be taken. it had published the kind of projects that we re published the kind of projects that were taken in brazil, the kind of measures taken were taken in brazil, the kind of measures ta ken so were taken in brazil, the kind of measures taken so the government is aware and it is in touch with organizations like who, but when it comes to india if it's going to be ona comes to india if it's going to be on a big scale of the indian government does have a big task ahead of it. you might recognise the brand del monte. it's a multinational food corporation — it deals mainly with tinned food. and it's currently locked in a land battle in kenya — over the renewal of its lease for a giant pineapple farm north of nairobi. the bbc‘s ferdinand omondi reports. at the age of 85, she should be

enjoying her senior years in her home but she spends days in this place built on land that does not belong to her expecting to be evicted any day. she says it is a familiar story which started many yea rs familiar story which started many years ago when is a little girl she watched colonial settlers drive her family off the property. when the white man came they drove away the locals with their livestock. since then we have moved from place to place, but all i want is a place to stay in a place that i will be —— bequeath to my children. if anything just a space they can lay their heads. just across from this land are vast areas of private farmland on which they dare not trespass. but this event represents the big divide thatis this event represents the big divide that is the leading question in kenya today. on my left eye hundreds of crammed into small spaces on land which they do not even on. am i

right, hundreds upon hundreds of acres owned by a few individuals with the rights to this property. it is an issue in a big contrast that has been made largely difficult to solve in kenya today. many landless people who live here say it is the plantation that was their ancestral land. the land is currently went at least two multinational company that processes ca n least two multinational company that processes can fruit. the land is renewable upon expiry, the lead six players next year and much of the local community does not want a renewed. —— the lease expires. local community does not want a renewed. —— the lease expiresl slant are they talking about? at a public hearing the national land commission listens to public information. the majority of locals wa nt information. the majority of locals want them to give back some land for housing as part of any renewal deal. they claim the company is about 5000 acres of land it has never used,

most of their leaders also back a conditional renewal. yes, you can renew, the land you are occupying we are utilising which is productive, but not... when you have huge plots of land which remain idle, i think that does not make sense for the company to continue holding onto those plans. we reached out to the company who declined to comment on the matter at the moment. the farm employs about 8000 local workers on a vast plantation and the company is a vast plantation and the company is a major taxpayerfor a vast plantation and the company is a major taxpayer for the kenyan economy. how the government solve this was set a marker for future land —— future land cases between the people and multinationals which have invested in the country. your member what things he did a couple of weeks back we saw one of his paintings go up for auction at seven be called the girl with the balloon and almost immediately after it sold for £860,000. it started to

be shredded by the frame. today, ba nksy be shredded by the frame. today, banksy posted a video saying that did not go entirely to plan and perhaps the plan a was that the whole cannabis would be shredded, not just whole cannabis would be shredded, notjust some of it. here is the video. per moment —— remember the woman who paid that money decided to keep it evenif paid that money decided to keep it even if two thirds of the picture had been shredded. back to a story we have been covering in detailfor the back to a story we have been covering in detail for the last few weeks, the list —— disappearance of the saudi journalist. the washington post published an argue that's become one of the most widely read in the world in the last 24 hours —— report —— published an article. it's entitled what the world the gas needs most is free expression and along with the article is a post from the opinion editor saying: she also spoke to the bbc. he cannot

see how much of an impact his piece has already had around the world, translating it into arabic seeing that it translating it into arabic seeing thatitis translating it into arabic seeing that it is biking in traffic on our site right now, this is the exact audience he wanted to read. in some ways this was his dream, and i am heartbroken that he is not here to see it. all the while the pressure mounts on saudi arabia. one significant announcement came from the us treasury secretary who initially we thought was still planning to go to a major investment gathering in saudi arabia next week. not so. he has tweeted: we know three european ministers have also dropped out of that event. that is it for us this week. thank

you for watching. we will see you back on monday. goodbye. hello. thank you forjoining me. let's see what mother nature is up to over the coming days. now that we are well into october. this time of year mist and fog tends to be more ofan year mist and fog tends to be more of an issue and in fact over the coming days we will have problems with bob, but there's also going to bea with bob, but there's also going to be a lot of fine, sunny weather. this is what's happening more or less right now with the weather front moving off the atlantic bringing bigger crowd and freshening winds to northwestern parts of the uk, but to the south i pressure. that means early hours of the morning on friday we will have seen clearer skies and quite nippy in some towns and cities a few degrees above freezing. in london around 8 degrees and for our friends in stornaway 10 celsius because of the atla ntic stornaway 10 celsius because of the atlantic breeze and that is approaching weather front. a look at

friday's weather map. i pressure to the south so probably across england and wales whereas in northern ireland and scotland we have a hacked —— whether from ireland and scotland we have a hacked —— whetherfrom moving through, briefly of setting the weather in the western isles and maybe other parts of scotland so i would not be surprised if light rain for a time would not be surprised if light rain fora time in would not be surprised if light rain for a time in class brett —— glasgow and edinburgh and basically the front all the way and fall the part and we're left with partly cloudy skies. to the south is dry, bright if not sunny. 17 in london, not bad at all around 14—15 on the north sea coast. i mention mist and fog earlier on and it could be the case that we might have a pea soup at first thing on saturday morning. really thick fog at least for a time across parts of england and wales stopped not sure to say what town and city but it will be a little hit and city but it will be a little hit and miss. some of it may struggle to clear, and lingering into the afternoon, but for those of us that get the sunshine should be a decent day. 18 degrees in london, even eastern scotland could be warming up to around 17 celsius. saturday night into sunday the weather front across

the northwest of the country spells rain. to the south we have higher pressure, but here, sunday morning when the —— where the winds are later there could be thick fog around including the london area through the m4 corridor down and toward this out as well. in the north we have a weak weather front moving through sunday so there could bea moving through sunday so there could be a little rain across yorkshire, middle of the afternoon but those temperatures are not bad at all. early next week let's call this monday, tuesday. we have a big high pressure here across this part of the atlantic. to the north of the high pressure we have a jet stream and when that bulges like that usually we get a high pressure to the south. look what happens to that jet stream and the clouds, the weather fronts here. jet stream and the clouds, the weatherfronts here. they sort jet stream and the clouds, the weather fronts here. they sort of poor into scotland and northern ireland so we are not exactly getting high pressure everywhere on monday. to the south england and wales has the fine weather, little misty in the morning, but in the north, closer to that jet misty in the morning, but in the north, closer to thatjet stream bulging around high pleasure we have weather fronts and rain so cool here

and quitea weather fronts and rain so cool here and quite a bit cooler for all of us. no more of that 18 degrees, more like 13 or 14. the reason for it is the air is increasingly coming from the air is increasingly coming from the north. that is because of the jet stream pattern you can see diving down so it tends to drag some of the airfrom diving down so it tends to drag some of the air from the north southwards. i know on this map where you have the yellow colours that might mean it is warm but that could be quite deceiving. during this time of the year when we have high pressure this sort of orientation and winds blowing around it like so normally the winds tend to bring brisk conditions but bright conditions. it could feel a little on the chilly side, but i think overall the weather next week is not looking too bad at all. that is it for me, thanks for watching. tonight at ten: the prime minister under renewed attack from colleagues, following the outcome of the eu summit in brussels. mrs may suggests she's prepared to consider delaying the uk's departure from the single market and customs union after brexit, buying more time to finalise a deal. there's a lot of hard work ahead.

there will be more difficult moments, as we enter the final stages of the talks, but i'm convinced that we will secure a good deal that is in the interests of the uk and of the european union. but as the prime minister's suggestion was being reported, back at westminster, there was mounting anger among some conservative colleagues. for those 17.4 million who voted to leave and for all those conservative voters who voted to leave the single market, leave the customs union and leave the remit of the european court ofjustice, they'll be just exasperated. we'll have the latest from brussels, and we'll be looking
