and how a thermal camera — a military secret until a few years ago, is transforming the way we see the natural world. good morning. welcome to bbc newsroom live. the radical preacher, anjem choudary, who's blamed by security chiefs for inspiring a long list of extremists in the uk, has been released from prison. choudary left the maximum security belmarsh prison in south—east london at dawn in a police convoy. the 51—year—old was jailed for inviting support for islamic state in 2016. he was halfway through a five and a half year sentence and will be subject to a strict supervision regime now he is leaving prison. our home affairs correspondent, dominic casciani is here with me.

why has he been released halfway through this sentence, given he is considered to be so dangerous. back is because that's what the law say should happen. he was charged with inviting support for the islamic state in syria and iraq. he was sentenced to five and a half years and that required his automatic release at the halfway point. as long as he behaved himself during his time in prison and now he is on a tyke in the community. he has come out slightly earlier than the halfway point because he spent so much time prior to trial curfew at home on an electronic tag, they have had to credit him for him for months for that. otherwise, now

had to credit him for him for months forthat. 0therwise, now he's had to credit him for him for months for that. otherwise, now he's out, the list of conditions he is on, 25 conditions. it is worth saying in many respects, they are very similar to the kind of conditions you would see on any other serious offender and anyone convicted of terrorism offence. some of these include like a ban on preaching. he is barred from unsupervised contact with anyone under 18. barred from organising meeting, meeting people who were part of his bands groups. meeting people who are also convicted of terrorism offences. and then a requirement to report regularly to probation and the police. he cannot leave the m25 and travel abroad. there is a lot in there. he needs permission if he wa nts to there. he needs permission if he wants to use the internet? absolutely. and we'll what he looks out when he does use the internet be monitored? at the moment he is only

allowed one phone and if he wants to use the internet he has to ask permission to do so and he can't clear the history from the device. he is not a bomb maker or a plotter, but anjem choudary‘s riske, is his ability to spread messages online. this morning, we heard from mark rowley, the head of counterterrorism at the metropolitan police. he summed up quite neatly what the concern was, i think we have a clip of him now. the views of some and the ability of people like choudary to get more influence than they deserve, is often down to that. so in the last couple of days something occurred to me, i did some research online. if you put into google, i put into google two days ago, 'uk muslim spokesman', choudary comes up top. i put it into youtube and he's four of the ten, he features in four of the ten top videos. for goodness' sake, we've got a very impressive muslim mayor of london, a very impressive muslim home secretary. uk muslim spokesman — him?

that's disgraceful. that's because these companies are chasing our attention with algorithms that puts to the top of the tree, the contentious and the extreme because it holds attention, rather than the accurate or the responsible. that's a massive concern to me. because if i'm doing that, there's vulnerable people in bedrooms doing that and being influenced by it. how long is anjem choudary going to be kept under these conditions? effectively another two and a half yea rs. effectively another two and a half years. he has six months in a bail hostel where he arrived this morning in north london and he cannot talk to the media while he is there. there is a bigger picture at play, which is about abeid disruption of the network, the band network choudary once headed. since he went to jail two and choudary once headed. since he went tojailtwo and a choudary once headed. since he went to jail two and a half years ago, there has been a big push to try and curtail and control the influence of

his followers. some have been under house arrest, some have beenjailed and some have left the uk to go on fight will probably never be getting back into the country. there has been a family court action to remove children from homes where choudary‘s followers are said to be radicalising and influencing those children. so i think in the short term, i think the security services are not concerned about choudary himself. he is under surveillance and control for now but they were concerned about other people like him around the country who continue to spread the message, like he did for so many years. thank you very much. the father of a man who died after being assaulted at a block of flats in south london, has said his son frequently confronted drug dealers on the estate. a murder investigation was launched after the 16—year—old, named locally as ian tomlin, was killed in battersea on wednesday afternoon.

police were called to reports of a fight. mr tomlin‘s father said his son's demands, that the dealers leave the area, may have led to a confrontation. let's go to our reporter lauren moss, who's on the scene for us. have local people been talking about this, been talking about the reports from ian tomlin‘s father of drug dealers in the area and the fact this may have led to his son's death? i have spoken to a few people in the community and they are very shocked by what has happened. 0ne man has told me the area does seem to have a large problem with drugs. he claims that he has called the police numerous times over the last year. but everyone, regardless of this, is very shocked this has happened. as you say, mr tomlin was found on wednesday evening and police were called around 5:30pm to reports of a fight between a group

of people in the block behind me. when they arrived they found a man lying injured on the floor. paramedics and the air ambulance we re paramedics and the air ambulance were called but he was pronounced dead at 6:15pm on wednesday evening. he has been named as a father of two, 46—year—old ian tomlin. it is understood he was assaulted after getting into an argument with a group of people hanging around outside his flat. no arrests have been made but there is a deep feeling of shock in the community. some flowers have been laid around the corner on the other side of the building and a sign that says, stop poisoning our neighbourhood, our children live here. that sign has been put up very recently, perhaps in response to what has happened here and the issues of drugs we have been told about. a bit about mr tomlin, he was a father and there are reports he used to be a boxer as well. but he had been working as a lorry driver for well. but he had been working as a lorry driverfor a well. but he had been working as a lorry driver for a waste contract at

wandsworth council. the leader of the council has given me a statement. he says, this was a truly shocking incident that has happened here, that has caused upset and sadness across the community. he says his thoughts go out to the family and friends of mr tomlin and is asking the people who lived here to get together and help the police catch those responsible. he has called on the london mayor to do more to tackle knife crime. this murder happened the evening before the latest crime statistics were released revealing how there have been 15,000 knife related incidents in london in the last 12 months. that is a 15% rise on the year before. the area behind me is closed off. the police are due to give an update later on this morning but for now, the investigation is very much ongoing. lauren moss, thank you very much. a cross—party group of mps has

criticised the government's targets for increasing the use of electric and other low emission cars, describing them as unambitious and vague. the commons select committee for business, energy and industrial strategy says ministers need to be bolder in developing a network of charging points for electric vehicles. the government's current policy is for the sales of petrol and diesel cars be have ended by 20110, but the committee wants the target brought forward to 2032. our business correspondent theo leggett has the details. 0ur city streets are heavily polluted and traffic takes much of the blame. the government says it wants to ban the sale of conventional diesel and petrol powered cars and vans by 20110, and to make sure that all new cars are effectively zero—emission. the committee thinks that plan's too vague and doesn't go far enough. it wants the target brought forward by eight years, and to ensure the ban covers all but the cleanest hybrid cars as well. mps also think the charging network for electric vehicles is simply not fit for purpose, and they've condemned the government decision to reduce the grants available for buyers of electric cars. electric is the future,

so the challenge is, how do we make electric possible? that means rolling out the charge points, which will encourage manufacturers to manufacture more cars if they know that people are going to buy them because people no longer have that range anxiety. but bringing the ban forward would be farfrom easy. sales of electric cars have been rising fast, but they still make up a tiny percentage of the market. plug—in hybrids, which have normal engines but can run on electric power for short distances, also have a very small share. with more than 31 million cars on the road, phasing out petrol and diesel will certainly be a challenge. in fact, the society of motor manufacturers and traders says bringing the target forward by eight years would make it nigh on impossible to meet. the government hasn't responded to the criticisms directly, but a spokesman said it wanted the uk to be the best place in the world to build and own an electric vehicle,

and it outlined measures for a major improvement in charging infrastructure. theo leggett, bbc news. theresa may will pitch her vision for a post—brexit uk to a global audience today, when she meets the leaders of asian countries at an eu—organised summit in brussels. but it's likely to be only a brief respite from her increasing domestic problems , as unhappiness grows among conservatives over her brexit strategy. the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, has urged tory mps to get behind theresa may — amid a backlash against suggestions the brexit transition period could be extended. live now to our correpondent, gavin lee, in brussels. theresa may meeting these asian leaders today. they know she hasn't got her house in order at home with regards to brexit, let alone a final deal hammered out with the eu so that's going to make that pitch very

difficult for her? it is but bear this in mind, it is the biggest gathering of world leaders in europe this year. 53 leaders from asia sapo pacific and russia as well. it is the third day in brussels and they are not technically talking brussels. but when you have structured summits like this, there is always room because the same eu leaders, emmanuel macron, angela merkel are all there, so there is still room for talks on the sidelines. the fact this, singapore, the chinese premier is here, the japanese prime minister, they all countries where theresa may is talking about new trade deals. so there is potentially the roots of a fruitful deal theresa may will be looking to. they will want to know about the conundrums, if you look at the transition period, if theresa may is now saying it might have to be more, even though she said it is

just an option. we had jean—claude juncker saying it is more than likely to be more than the normal transition period. what does that mean for other countries looking on? the wider principle here is, you have got all of the asian, eu leaders talking about better trade in what they see is increasingly protectionist us and donald trump. so for theresa may, it is a difficult balance. she wants to do with americans and donald trump after brexit but also embrace asian countries and australia and that is why today is very important. let's hear a clip from the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt who has been appealing for unity and asking tory mps to get behind the prime minister. the strength of the eu in these negotiations is all 27 countries have remained united throughout. we need to do the same, stand behind the prime minister so she can get

the prime minister so she can get the best deal for britain. in terms of that extended transition period and the willingness of the 27 to extend that to the uk, it seems the ball is back in theresa may's court to try to get things in order domestically? yes, where we are now, the whole point of the summit over the whole point of the summit over the past few days is try to work out whether there is enough of what they call convergence, whether they agree enough there will be another summit in november where they formalise the divorce treaty and there can be a transition period. that is not set in stone. i spoke to emmanuel macron and he said every day it is simple maths. if it goes by longer, the risk of no deal is greater. but there are newspaper reports that the french are asking the british tourists and expats in case of a new deal they might face visas. i asked him this yesterday and he said it was fake news to suggest they would

be stopped from having visas. he said they will deliver visas for british people. we are checking and it appears he should have said, we will not start visas. i spoke to the luxembourg prime minister earlier he said, this should be eu business at the moment, i am not sure i can speak out of turn on this issue. thank you very much for that in brussels. and we want to know what you think about this story, you can tweet us using the hashtag bbc newsroomlive or text us at 611211. the headlines on bbc news: radical preacher, anjem choudary, jailed for inviting support for the so—called islamic state group, has been released from prison. theresa may is in brussels, where she's due to pitch her vision for a post—brexit uk to a global audience today. the father of a man who died after being assaulted at a block of flats in south london,

has said his son frequently confronted drug dealers on the estate. president trump says he believes the missing washington postjournalist, jamal khashogee, is dead and the consequences for saudi arabia could be severe if its involvement is confirmed. it comes more than two weeks after mr khashogee was last seen — he was entering the saudi consulate in istanbul, where turkish officials say he was murdered. police are searching forests and farmland nearby. we're waiting for some investigations and waiting for the results. and we will have them very soon and i think we will be making a statement, a very strong statement, but we're waiting for the results — about three different investigations. the us treasury secretary, steve mnuchin, has pulled out of a high—profile investment conference in riyadh next week.

0ur washington correspondent, chris buckler, is following developments in america. the president is still pushing for a pause. he says he wants to see the outcome of these different investigations that are ongoing. and we know that there are still very active investigations in turkey at the moment. but there is definitely a hardening of language. and you get a sense that is partly because donald trump has seen the details of multiple intelligence reports. he said that to the new york times and he says that if saudi arabia were involved them, ultimately, there will be severe consequences. but, again, he's still not saying what those will be. but i think there is pressure growing notjust on saudi arabia, but also on president trump to be seen to act on this, because he has talked about the potential of it being rogue killers, of really wanting to stop and take a break and not point the finger at saudi arabia at the moment. but, at the same time, there does seem to be growing suspicions that saudi arabia

could have been involved. and the longer thatjamal khashoggi is missing, the more that there are questions being asked over the saudi government itself. health care professionals need to improve the way they talk to patients about death, according to a new report. nearly half of all lives end in hospitals, but the royal college of physicians says many health workers lack confidence when it comes to telling a patient of a terminal diagnosis. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes reports. talking about death is never easy, but linda knows how important it can be for patients who are dying and their families. when her husband graham was seriously ill four years ago, linda found medical staff struggled with the conversation. they literally just said you've got weeks to live. and sadly, it was done in an environment that wasn't private. as i say, there were five people round the bed. pages were going off at the same time.

it was very chaotic. it left a real feeling of guilt, because i felt i should have done more. i should have done more because that was a private moment, a really significant moment for him. nearly half of all deaths in england are in hospitals. one in three adults admitted to hospital as an emergency is in the last year of their life. but only 4% of patients have talked about end—of—life care with a doctor. as doctors they will be seen as a failure for saying we can't necessarily prolong your life and they are worried about the reaction they'll get. the second is we don't always have the confidence as doctors or the training or the experience to have those conversations sensitively and the third thing is we don't always have the time or the privacy, or the right information, we worry about rushed conversations done badly. so i think there are some practical considerations. the royal college says talking honestly about dying is an essential part of making sure there is compassionate care at the end of life.

dominic hughes, bbc news. with me is damejane dacre, who until very recently was the president of the royal college of physicians. thank you for coming to talk today. how much training to medical stu d e nts how much training to medical students get about having these conversations, because that's presumably where it should begin?m does begin there. all medical stu d e nts does begin there. all medical students are given communication skills training these days. they didn't use to be. part of that training is training about what we call a breaking bad news, which is talking about giving people news that they have life limiting diseases. perhaps the difficulty is they do it in simulated settings. so they do it in simulated settings. so the bad news is broken to an actor and they then receive feedback on how they performed the task. you

can't possibly simulate, with the best will in the world and the best actors in the world sitting in the chair, you cannot simulate what it is like to deliver the news in a real situation i would have thought? how much of these conversations that are not handled well, how much is borne out the sense of awkwardness and a natural desire not to have to tell someone such terrible news? you can give someone as tell someone such terrible news? you can give someone as much simulated training as you like but it doesn't equip them for doing it in real life. in a hospital setting these days, where a lot of people do end up days, where a lot of people do end up dying, ora days, where a lot of people do end up dying, or a lot of people end their days, it is often very busy, it is very crowded and noisy. there isa it is very crowded and noisy. there is a feeling amongst everybody that you want the patient to live for a little bit longer. so doctors tend to sometimes shying away from having that difficult conversation because

the conversation is sad, difficult and uncomfortable. yet they know, in this vocation will have to have those conversations. if things don't go well, is there any opportunity within a hospital setting for example, for doctors to give some feedback and say i want some more assistance, more support and training? 0rdoes assistance, more support and training? or does it get passed over and they move onto the next patient? they should be able to ask for help and they should get training and feedback from their peers when things don't go well. but trainee doctors also are asked to do things under observation, so that they can get feedback from their peers at the time. so there are those opportunities, but you cannot take away from how difficult the situation is when somebody is terminally ill. you are depending, presumably, on feedback from other doctors and medical staff because u nless doctors and medical staff because

unless a family makes a complaint, they feel that news wasn't handled well, you are not necessarily going to get feedback from the families of the patient, or the patient themselves? quite a lot of complaints that come into hospitals are about poor communication. so we do work very hard to improve the communication skills. that is coming from patients and families themselves? absolutely they are. we try to minimise bad. there was a time when doctors were quite brutal in the way they spoke to their patients, but over the last 20 years a lot more emphasis has been put on good communication, honest conversations and equal conversations. things are significantly better now and postgraduate doctors are actually assessed in communication skills. admittedly, not necessarily in a live situation, to make sure they have the skills to do the task. as

you say, it is more difficult when you say, it is more difficult when you are in a busy ward, when you don't have time, you don't have privacy and that situation is a difficult one for the doctor emotionally, as well as for the people they talking to. we make effo rts people they talking to. we make efforts to make sure they do it in the most compassionate way possible. finally, is that what is being done, our hospitals making sure there is a gold standard, if you like, that when this terrible news is being delivered to a patient perhaps with theirfamily along delivered to a patient perhaps with their family along of them, it is donein their family along of them, it is done in the most private setting as possible, calm and compassionate? absolutely, there are lots of guidelines to try and raise the standards and make sure people do this as compassionately and as in a timely way as possible. thank you very much. government borrowing last month fell to its lowest level for september

in more than a decade. borrowing for the year—to—date is at its lowest amount since 2002 at £19.9 billion. economists say it's good news for the chancellor ahead of the budget in just over a week's time. about 13 million adults in the uk live in areas where at least half the local banks and building societies have closed. bbc anaylsis of data from the office for national statistics has found nearly 6000 local branches have shut since 2010. the banking industry says closing a branch is only used as a last resort. david rhodes reports. this is sowerby bridge, market down. the closure of bank branches have made him angry. it is getting hard, they close the cash machine. cash

still plays a big role in this community and many others like it but this bike shop and cafe sit opposite a former bank and it underlines how many bank closures impact businesses and real lives. the lloyds across the road was busy. trying to get change and things like that when you are a small business and you are by yourself, the post office cannot meet the demand. and you are by yourself, the post office cannot meet the demandm and you are by yourself, the post office cannot meet the demand. it is ridiculous. they are just going, one after the other, disappearing. 0nline banking, it is the future, thatis 0nline banking, it is the future, that is what the banks tell us. not for me it isn't, and for people my age. as a nation, we use debit cards instead of cash but consumer groups say they are alarmed by the rates of branch closures. there is still a huge number of people that rely on face to face services that are reliant on cash. don't have the capability or the desire to do online and mobile banking and a

group of people that are at serious risk of being financially excluded. uk finance says branch closures are only used as a last resort and millions of people can access banking services at a post office. but ten years after the banks were bailed out by taxpayers, some feel forgotten bailed out by taxpayers, some feel fo rg otte n by bailed out by taxpayers, some feel forgotten by in industry that once needed rescuing. the government bailed the halifax out, and eight yea rs bailed the halifax out, and eight years on bay have been bailed out, they have been paid back and this is they have been paid back and this is the way they have repaid you, closing branches and losing staff. david rhodes, bbc news, sowerby bridge. the duke and duchess of sussex have visited bondi beach in sydney, on their tour of australia. they saw a mental health project, where people go to the beach wearing fluorescent clothing, in order to encourage others to open up about their problems. later, prince harry launched this year's invictus games for sick and injured service personnel by climbing the city's harbour bridge, where he raised the games' flag. 0ur sydney correspondent, hywel griffith, is following the couple's tour.

barefoot on bondi, the day started with a relaxed feel... if that's possible with hundreds of people watching every step. the royals came to experience fluro friday, a way of supporting people tackling mental health problems by meeting up for a chat and a surf at the beach, as well as a group hug, of course. prince harry said something that really stuck out for me, if you're struggling, reaching out for help is not a weakness, it's a sign of strength so it's going to show people around the world that mental health does not discriminate. prince harry may be sixth in line to the throne, but in australia, he polls as the nation's favourite royal. while a clear majority of the people here want the country to become a republic, with every visit, the crowds have still turned out. the trip here to bondi was another example of the royal couple wanting to be seen to be approachable, hands—on, huggable even. in reality, every step of the tour

is tightly choreographed and it happens under intense security. the helicopters circled as prince harry ascended sydney harbour bridge to raise the invictus flag, the games for wounded service men and women are they real reason for this visit. tomorrow's opening ceremony may, for a little while at least, move attention away from his impending parenthood. now it's time for a look at the weather. simon king has the latest. i am not sure it is beach weather here. maybe with a few layers? we have the sunshine but not the temperatures. it was another chilly start and we had a patch of frost around. many started with some sunshine and the mist and fog we had this morning,

tending to clear and left. this is the scene in hampshire in gosport. lovely blue skies and we will continue with blue skies across many parts of england and wales. more in the way of cloud across the far north of england. maybe one or two spots of rain moving into west wales. in scotland, the cloud clearing to give some sunny spells and the maximum temperature getting up and the maximum temperature getting up to 13 to 16 degrees. tonight, we will continue a patchy cloud across northern parts, more cloud spilling into northern ireland and scotland. mostly clear skies but there will be fog developing tomorrow morning and back could be extensive and it could be stubborn to clear for some around wales and the west midlands on saturday, but plenty of fine and dry weather to come over the weekend. hello this is bbc newsroom live. the headlines. the radical preacher anjem choudary has been released from prison after serving half of his sentence for encouraging support

for the islamic state group. he was jailed for five and a half years in 2016. jeremy hunt has urged the conservatives to get behind theresa may's brexit strategy as the prime minister faces a backlash against the idea of extending the uk's transition period. the strength of the eu in these negotiations is that all 27 countries have remained united throughout. we need to do the same, and stand behind our prime minister so she can get the best deal for britain. the father of a man who died after being assaulted at a block of flats in south london, has said his son frequently confronted drug dealers on the estate. ian tomlin, who was a6, was found outside his flat in battersea on wednesday. mps call for a ban on new petrol and diesel cars to be brought forward to 2032 — eight years earlier than planned. pa rliament‘s business select committee says ministers need to "get a grip" and tackle a lack of electric car charging points. a bbc study reveals nearly 6000

local bank and building society branches have shut since 2010 — a fall of a third, with roughly 13 million adults in the uk living in areas where at least half of their local branches have closed. sport now. good morning. the all england club have just announced a significant rule change for wimbledon next year. final set tie—breaks will be introduced. it means the end to final sets going on into the dark. it is off the back of the mammoth semifinal this year between anderson and john isner. kevin anderson were so tired, he could not celebrate.

another, the fifth set between nicolas mahut and john isner it lastest over eight hours. this will come at 12—12 in the final set. willjose mourinho be in the dugout for the big game of the weekend? mourinho and his manchester united side face chelsea tomorrow, as the premier league returns after the international break. mourinho has until 6 o'clock today to respond to a charge of using "abusive, insulting or improper language" after manchester united's 3—2 win over newcastle earlier this month. he's likely to leave his response to the last minute to avoid a disciplinary hearing convening before the game at game at stamford bridge. if he is on the sidelines he'll face a chelsea side that's bang in form under new boss mauricio sarri. so what's he changed? there's some great analysis

of what's been dubbed sarri—ball from the former chelsea player pat nevin on the bbc sport website right now. well worth a watch. tottenham are doing better than ever. that's the message from the boss at least. mauricio pochettino's side face west ham on saturday, 3 o'clock kick off. and after losing in europe and recently two games on the spin in the league, spurs have now won three in a row and are enjoying a good start to the domestic season. something he is keen to note. i need to remember everyone that is our best start, after the game. the premier league, start after eight games for tottenham, of course the perception it is we lose again in the champions league but we have one point more than last season and i am

not happy with that because we are fifth of the table and the ambition is to be on top. spurs might be enjoying a good start but it's not as good as their rivals arsenal. the gunners — who are fourth — have won their last 9 games and play leicester on monday. last time out they beat fulham 5—1, the fans then were chanting "we've got our arsenal back". but boss unai emery‘s keen to play down expextations. down expectations. a supporter can enjoy that. but also, we are speaking of the reality every day and we need to improve because for example the match against fulham is a good result. a good game in 90 minutes but the first 45 minutes, we need to do better. the fa has urged the police and social media companies to act after death and rape threats were sent to the chelsea and england player karen carney. the threats came after chelsea beat fiorentina in the champions

league on wednesday. england boss phil neville says another player has received threats overnight. the fa saying it is "appalled" and "dismayed" and wants police to do more to deal with abuse. the metropolitan police said it "takes allegations of threatening and abusive behaviour very seriously". and christian wade has dramatically left rugby union and his side wasps to pursue a career in the nfl. the winger, who won one england cap in 2013 and toured with the british and irish lions that year, is understood to have played his last game of rugby union. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in the next hour. let's get more now on calls by a group of mps for a complete ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars to be brought forward to 2032. the government is already planning to implement a ban from 2040 but the business select committee says ministers need to be bolder. i am joined in the studio by peter campbell who is

the motor industry correspondent for the financial times. is this new target, is it feasible's the car industry works on a seven—year cycle and every seven yea rs seven—year cycle and every seven years produces new model so 2032 is not far away on that basis but it is a global industry. car-makers are developing electric vehicles for china and europe and other parts that have stricter emissions rules coming in, so there will be a huge number of electric vehicles on sale and many makers say they will sell millions in the next decade am moving back to 2032 is therefore not much of a push but it will need the industry to make more planners than they plan to make. these electric vehicles, other types of vehicles, costis

vehicles, other types of vehicles, cost is a key consideration. it sounds like there will be more electric cars on the market and therefore more second—hand vehicles, potentially, to purchase? there is a growing second—hand market as they have been on sale since 2010 and early adopters are trading. for consumers right now they are concerned about high prices and lack of availability and charging. 0ver the next two years dozens are coming to market and the choice will get wider and the price will come down as technology improves and that leaves infrastructure, where you charge them and in the long—term that will be the bigger problem because many people who own driveway would charge at home or work but you need to be able to charge on the move for long journeys and the mps' report calls for the to spur a bigger increase in charging points

and to make them simpler so you can charge anywhere. what will it take to get more charging points that will allow motorists to charge vehicles faster? there is already a building boom of charging points. bp has bought a company that makes them and so has shell and they will. to put them in petrol stations but you will need far more points because it ta kes two will need far more points because it takes two to three minutes to fill your car with petrol but sometimes several hours to recharge and electric car. do you think we need to move to a situation where every new home that is built has its own charging point or every home has it retrofitted ? charging point or every home has it retrofitted? it is cheap to put in a charging point at home. you can charge from a plug socket but it is better to get a custom—made point put in and i imagine most new homes will have these installed. the big challenge for almost half the

country that do not have a driveway means more charging on public roads which is an issue, because that is decided by councils, for whom it is not a priority. when the committee says it is the government that needs to get a grip, do they? they need to either push local councils to have a quota of charging points or to take the decision—making back and say we need a certain number of charging points by a certain date to spur public adoption. nobody wants to put in charging points but motorists do not want to buy electric cars until there are enough charging points to charge them. an interview by bbc look north's business correspondent, spencer stokes, has gone viral after he asked the boss of a housing company about his 75 million pound bonus.

jeff fairburn, who runs persimmon, received the highest bonus earned by an executive in the uk last year... but when spencer challenged him on it, he and his pr adviser weren't too happy. let's go live to the reporter in question, who's in leeds. this started as a discussion about a brick factory. they had become the first home—builders to open their own brick factory, persimmon, so we went along to cover the story and the factory opened in an area that has suffered job losses in the past and persimmon creating 40 newjobs. the story was to demonstrate home—building in the past five years has taken off and business is booming. we did an interview about that but i could not ignore the fact that but i could not ignore the fact that back in may, shareholders at persimmon gave the go—ahead to a £75 million bonus for the chief executive and asked if he had any group —— any regrets about that the

furore about it months ago.|j group —— any regrets about that the furore about it months ago. i think, yeah. i'm sorry, we are talking about the brick factory. obviously the construction of bricks follows on from how well persimmon is doing soi on from how well persimmon is doing so i think they tie together well.|j would rather not talk about that, it has been well covered. you do not wa nt to has been well covered. you do not want to discuss that? are there lessons to be learned about that, the biggest bonus in the country? no. i think that is really unfortunate, actually, you have done that. spencer, sometimes press officers asked journalists in advance not to discuss a particular subject, what happened in this case? before the interview the press officers said to me we are talking about bricks and not brexit. she did say we were not going to discuss brexit, but she did not mention the pay award so i thought there is an

opportunity to ask him about that. if you watch the clip it is interesting because it does appear as if he is about to defend it, or at least comment on it. it is the press officer who steps in and ends the conversation. he refused to say more and walked out of shot and she asked afterwards if we would use that section i said we'd probably would do because of what had happened. this was an issue at the time that politicians got involved in the business select committee in the house of commons. they were looking at corporate pay—outs and it was discussed in may and vince cable the lib dem leader was talking about it ten days ago so it is an issue in and out of the news of the summer but this was the first broadcast interview he had done since then so why felt it was an issue that could not be ignored. as you maybe that is

what you would say to someone who would accuse you of ambushing him? that is a word he used and people described it as an ambush, but, as i say, this was a question i could not not ask. it happened to be asked because nobody else had had the opportunity to ask the question since the pay award was made in may andi since the pay award was made in may and i think if i had not asked, people would say isn't he the guy from persimmon, why did the reporter not asked the question? so it had to be done. spencer, thank you. with 11 grammy awards and hundreds of millions of record sales, it's fair to say, at nearly 79, tina turner is the original queen of rock and roll. despite her success, tina's life story is one of trauma and turbulence, battling life threatening illness, suicide and an abusive marriage, as she now reveals in her new autobiography. the bbc‘s arts editor, will gompertz, visited the music

you see in 1968, you try to take your life. at that time when i tried to commit suicide my life was down. 0bviously to commit suicide my life was down. obviously the ike and tina days. you are 79 next month, how are you?” obviously the ike and tina days. you are 79 next month, how are you? i am happier than i have ever been in my life. i am happier than i have ever been in my life. iam happierthan happier than i have ever been in my life. i am happier than i ever thought that life would become for me. idid thought that life would become for me. i did fall a couple of days ago broke something so i was in a

excluding public—sector banks. it was £4.1bn in september. £0.8bn less than september 2017. that's according to the latest data from the office for national statistics. so far this year the government has borrowed £19.9bn, more than £10bn less than for the same period last year. a warning from the ferry firm stena line. it says a no—deal brexit could affect food supplies and see traders bypass great britain. stena is the largest ferry operator in the irish sea operator in the irish sea and owns three uk ports. the government said it had proposed an ambitious future relationship with the eu to keep trade flowing. a ban on sales of new petrol and diesel cars should be brought forward by eight years to 2032, that is according to mps. a report by parliament's business select committee says the government's current plans to ensure all new cars are "effectively zero emission" by 2040 were "vague and unambitious".

government borrowing fell by more than expected last month, to £4.1 billion from £4.9 billion a year earlier. it was the lowest borrowing figure for the month of september since 2007. borrowing for the year to date is 35% lower at £19.9 billion, potentially giving chancellor philip hammond room for manoeuvre in the upcoming budget on the 29th october. the 0ns said it was the lowest year—to—date total since 2002. these figures are important because they show how much the government has to spend and whether taxes will need to be increased. yael selfin, chief economist at kpmg, and joins us. how surprised were you? we were expecting good news this time because we knew revenue was relatively stronger over the summer. was relatively stronger over the summer. in terms of looking ahead to

the budget, how much room for manoeuvre do the figures give him if any? from the last fiscal year we know he has 5.4 billion already and if everything continues the way it is in terms of the spending pattern he may have 11.2 billion extra to spend compared, which would give him 16 billion extra to spend in the budget. will it be enough to fulfil promises we have had. the prime minister talking about the end of austerity and more money for the nhs. will there be enough? there is so nhs. will there be enough? there is so much the government wants to spend, the prime minister already saying they want to spend more on health and that could be 25 billion in total. 0verall, health and that could be 25 billion in total. overall, it is probably not enough to end austerity, if you like. he would eventually need to raise taxes if we do not want public

finances to derail from where he wa nted finances to derail from where he wanted it to go. what are you expecting from the chancellor when he introduces the budget?” expecting from the chancellor when he introduces the budget? i expect him to be relatively cautious, given we are still... there is still some time before we know brexit will land. he is probably likely to want to save a little bit in the pot for later, if needed. i would also expect him to spend a little more on the essential day—to—day spending of government, as well as on investment, in increasing productivity and improving the prospects of growth in the uk for longer periods. and q. -- thank you. shares in shopping centre owner intu have soared today. the owner of the arndale centre in manchester and lakeside in essex, said it had been approached

to give you an idea ofjust how sensitive the camera is, it can pick out changes in temperature down to 0.001 degrees. so, if i put my hands on my chest, like this, iam heating myjumper. and, hopefully, when i take them away, you will see that. let me introduce paul. hello, paul. hello, richard. i know you are out there somewhere in the dark. we can even see a mouse from a mile away, searching for food in a ploughed field. wow, you can see a mouse in a field? yes, you wouldn't be able to identify what mouse species it is, but you can definitely tell it's a mouse running around. lights. paul is a wildlife enthusiast, and he was using the military camera to photograph owls at a local aerodrome when he got chatting to someone with connections at the bbc. he sent some of the footage off to the natural history unit in bristol and, within 48 hours, i had the producer on the phone — could he come down and see this kit? because it was so, so much of a leap forward to the technology

they were using already. she is nervous. and this is why. the faint glow in the grass is her hidden baby. a leveret, just a day or two old. the team spent a year adapting the system from something that was hooked onto the front of an raf helicopter to something that was portable enough for wildlife filmmakers. one of the reasons this camera has been able to capture previously unseen animal behaviour is that it can see a very, very long way away. if you compare it to our normal tv camera, that brown water tower on the horizon is six miles away. here's the view on the thermal—imaging cam. or how about these coffee—roasting chimneys? look at the heat coming off. finally, we used it to film a bbc reporter at a watering hole nearly a mile away. spot the heat from the coffee. just a few years ago, this camera

was still a military secret. now, it's transforming the way we see the natural world. richard westcott, bbc news, essex. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello, the weather looks fairly settled over the next days and into next week. this morning we started with fog and a bit of frost in places but for many we have sunshine and that is most prevalent in central and southern areas of england. further north more cloud moving south and out of scotland still showers, becoming drier with brighter skies developing a maximum temperature is getting up to 16 degrees. tonight we will continue with patchy cloud, especially

towards scotland and northern ireland. elsewhere, clear spells towards scotland and northern ireland. elsewhere, clearspells and extensive fog developing into saturday morning so bear that in mind if you are travelling. the fog may be stubborn to clear across east wales and west midlands but it should and for many on saturday a dry day with sunny spells. rain moving through scotland and northern ireland on sunday but for england and wales, sunny spells and temperatures over the weekend similarto temperatures over the weekend similar to today, 14—18. you're watching bbc newsroom live — these are today's main stories: radical preacher anjem choudary, jailed for inviting support for the so—called islamic state group, is released from prison — having served less than half of his sentence. jeremy hunt urges conservatives to get behind theresa may's brexit strategy — as the prime minister faces a fierce backlash against the idea of extending the uk's transition period. the strength of the eu in these

ago, is transforming the way we see the natural world. good morning. welcome to bbc newsroom live. i'm anita mcveigh. the radical preacher anjem choudary, who's been blamed by security chiefs for inspiring a long list of extremists in the uk, has been released from prison. choudary left the maximum security belmarsh prison in south—east london at dawn in a police convoy. the 51—year—old was jailed for inviting support for islamic state in 2016. he was halfway through a five and a half year sentence and will be subject to a strict supervision regime now he is leaving prison. earlier on our home affairs correspondent, daminic casciani, explained why anjem choudary has been released so early. he was charged with inviting support for a terrorist group, in this case, the islamic state millitant group

in syria and iraq. he was sentenced to five and a half years. that particular offence required his automatic release at the halfway point, assuming that all else was fine with his time in prision, he behaved himself and so on. he's now on a tag in the community. he has come out slightly earlier than the halfway point because he spent so much time prior to trial on a curfew at home on an electronic tag, they have had to credit him for him about four months for that. otherwise, now he's out, the list of conditions he is on is pretty long, 25 conditions. it is worth saying in many respects, they are very similar to the kind of conditions you would see on any other serious serious offender and anyone convicted of terrorism offence. some of these include like a ban on preaching.

he is barred from unsupervised contact with from the under 18s. barred from organising meetings, meeting people who were part of his banned groups. meeting people who are also convicted of terrorism offences. and then the usual ones, you know, a requirement to report regularly to probation and the police. he cannot leave the m25 and travel abroad. there is a lot in there. he needs permission if he wants to use the internet? absolutely. and we'll what he looks at when he does use the internet be monitored? at the moment he is only allowed one phone and if he wants to use the internet he has to have permission to do so and he can't clear the history from the device. he is not a bomb maker or a plotter, but anjem choudary‘s risk, is his ability to spread a message online. this morning, we heard from mark rowley, the head of counterterrorism at the metropolitan police. he summed up quite neatly what the concern was, i think we have a clip of him now. the views of some and the ability of people like choudary to get more

influence than they deserve, is often down to that. so in the last couple of days something occurred to me, i did some research online. if you put into google, i put into google two days ago, 'uk muslim spokesman', choudary comes up top. i put it into youtube and he's four of the ten, he features in four of the ten top videos. for goodness' sake, we've got a very impressive muslim mayor of london, a very impressive muslim home secretary. uk muslim spokesman — him? that's disgraceful. that's because these companies are chasing our attention with algorithms that puts to the top of the tree, the contentious and the extreme because it holds attention, rather than the accurate or the responsible.

that's a massive concern to me. because if i'm doing that, there's vulnerable people in bedrooms doing that and being influenced by it. how long is anjem choudary going to be kept under these conditions you have been describing? basically another two and a half years. he has six months in a bail hostel in north london and he cannot talk to the media while he is there. there is a bigger picture at play which is about in the security world's jargon about in the security world's jargon about a wider disruption of the network, the band network that choudary once headed. since he went to jail two and choudary once headed. since he went tojailtwo and a choudary once headed. since he went to jail two and a half years ago there has been a push to try to control and curtail the influence of his followers. some have been put under house arrest and others have been jailed. 0thers under house arrest and others have been jailed. others have under house arrest and others have beenjailed. others have left under house arrest and others have been jailed. others have left the under house arrest and others have beenjailed. others have left the uk to go and fight will probably never be able to get back into the country. there has been family court action in an attempt to remove children from homes where choudary‘s followers are attempting to

influence and radicalised those children. the idea is to continue to disrupt the network. in the short term, the security services are not overly concerned about choudary himself, he is under a lot of control, monitoring and surveillance for now. the bigger risk is lots of other people like him around the country who are continuing to spread the message, which he did for so many years. theresa may will pitch her vision for a post—brexit uk to a global audience today, when she meets the leaders of asian countries at an eu—organised summit in brussels. but it's likely to be only a brief respite from her mounting problems over brexit. there's said to be deep disquiet among conservative mps at the idea of extending the brexit transition period. however, the foreign secretary jeremy hunt has urged his colleagues to get behind the prime minister and said extending the transition 'might help' and was not a capitulation. the strength of the eu in these negotiations is all 27 countries have remained united throughout. we need to do the same,

stand behind the prime minister so she can get the best deal for britain. live now to our correpondent, gavin lee, in brussels. the problem for theresa may is a lot of conservatives do see an extended transition period as exactly that, a capitulation. and that isn't even sorting out the irish border question? this is theresa may's new conundrum and she is coming here on day three in brussels and to a different summit. it is about meeting asian leaders from the south asian pacific and russian, dmitry medvedev is here in what is the biggest collection of world leaders in europe this year. 53 world leaders inside this building. the one thing to bear in mind is lots of briefings going on at the moment. but for theresa may you could argue where it is another day where she

could talk trade deals with the chinese premier and the japanese premier. the new conundrum follows her around because she has to go back to talk to her party about this idea of an extended transition period, which he says could potentially be a few months, but only as an option. jean—claude juncker, the head of the european commission said it is more likely they will need this transition period. why? we had michel barnier saying 90% of the brexit agreement is done. they have still to look at making sure there is no border between northern ireland and the uk. the eu has said they trust theresa may's idea of this temporary solution. can you do it alongside a new trade deal in the transition period? it new trade deal in the transition period ? it needs new trade deal in the transition period? it needs more time and more time means more money in billions to

the eu. i havejust been told on the 13th floor where the leaders are sitting in a huge circle, theresa may, close to the irish to shop, the prime minister. right next to dmitry medvedev, the russian prime minister. they haven't exchanged words but this is the first meeting post the poisoning case in salisbury. given the context which you have outlined, how difficult is it going to be for theresa may to make that post brexit pitched to the asian leaders gathering today? it is difficult, you get around and there are journalists from all around the world. i am told there will be a bilateral meeting with singapore and possibly south korea as well. they are here to talk about wider european trade, not trade with the

uk. the idea is in this world where we are looking at protectionism, greater protectionism with donald trump, can they strike up a new trade deals and they will be strike at one with singapore. they want to know if it can be done with great britain in two years. a few of them have come out to give press conferences. thank you very much. police in turkey investigating the alleged killing of a saudi journalist have expanded their search area. forests and farmland close to the saudi consulate in istanbul are being examined. it's now more than two weeks since jamal khashoggi was last seen enterting the saudi consulate in the turkish capital, where turkish officials say he was murdered. the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt has warned of "consequences" for saudi arabia if it is proved that the missing journalist was murdered. president trump has hardened his stance, saying all the evidence he's seen

so far leads him to believe that mr khashoggi is dead and has also warned of consequences. we're waiting for some investigations and waiting for the results. and we will have them very soon and i think we will be making a statement, a very strong statement, but we're waiting for the results — about three different investigations. the us treasury secretary, steve mnuchin, has pulled out of a high—profile investment conference in riyadh next week. 0ur washington correspondent, chris buckler, is following developments in america. the president is still pushing for a pause. he says he wants to see the outcome of these different investigations that are ongoing. and we know that there are still very active investigations in turkey at the moment. but there is definitely a hardening of language. and you get a sense that is partly because donald trump has seen the details of multiple intelligence reports. he said that to the new york times and he says that if saudi arabia were involved them, ultimately, there will be severe consequences. but, again, he's still not saying what those will be.

but i think there is pressure growing notjust on saudi arabia, but also on president trump to be seen to act on this, because he has talked about the potential of it being rogue killers, of really wanting to stop and take a break and not point the finger at saudi arabia at the moment. but, at the same time, there does seem to be growing suspicions that saudi arabia could have been involved. and the longer thatjamal khashoggi is missing, the more that there are questions being asked over the saudi government itself. government borrowing last month fell to its lowest level for september in more than a decade. borrowing for the year—to—date is at its lowest amount since 2002 at £19.9 billion. economists say it's good news for the chancellor ahead of the budget in just over a week's time. officials in vienna have started removing nearly a quarter of a million name signs

from people's doors. they're replacing the names for numbers in what they say is the correct interpretation of new eu data protection laws. the move has been criticised and even the eu commission has dissociated itself from the decision. more on today's main stories coming up on newsroom live here on the bbc news channel, but now we say goodbye to viewers on bbc two. the father of a man who died after being assaulted at a block of flats in south london, has said his son frequently confronted drug dealers on the estate. a murder investigation was launched after the 46—year—old, named locally as ian tomlin, was killed in battersea on wednesday afternoon. police were called to reports of a fight.

mr tomlin's father said his son's demands, that the dealers leave the area, may have led to a confrontation. let's go to our reporter lauren moss, who's on the scene for us. are the police saying anything about that particular claim from ian tomlin's father? not at this moment. we are expecting an updated statement from the metropolitan police. but in the last 15 minutes the police called and has been pulled back to here. but forensic are still visiting the scene in the block behind me there. officers, police, paramedics and the air ambulance were called here on wednesday evening around 5:30pm to reports of a fight involving a man and a group of people. when they arrived they found a man slumped on the floor severely injured. he was pronounced dead at 6:15pm on wednesday evening. he has been named locally as 46—year—old father of

two, ian tomlin. i have been speaking to people in the community and they are very shocked. there has been a still and silent feeling because mainly because the police investigation is still going on. people i have spoken to have told me there seems to be a problem with drugs in the area and drug dealing and so on. but that hasn't been confirmed by the police. quite a significant sign has been put up near some flowers round the corner behind the murder scene. there are some flowers and a sign that says, "stop poisoning our neighbourhood, our children live here". just to give you some idea of the area we are in, there are a number of children's nurseries, lots of pa rents children's nurseries, lots of parents coming and going with their children. and grandparents saying they are concerned about what has happened and they are shocked about the violence we have seen. a bit more about mr tomlin himself. we know he was a father of two and his

own father has spoken out to pay tribute to him. mr tomlin was a boxer and had been working as a lorry driver for wandsworth council. the leader of wandsworth council has given a statement and says, this is a truly shocking incident that has caused deep upset and sadness across the community. this murder happened the community. this murder happened the evening before the latest crime statistics were released. they revealed that has been an almost 15,000 knife related incidents in london in the last 12 months, an increase of almost 2000 since the year before. the area behind me is still cordoned off and the police investigation, very much on no one has been arrested in connection with mr tomlin's death, but we are expecting an update later this afternoon. laura moss, thank you very much. and we want to know what you think about this story.

you mght remember the fith set went on for 3—hours and finished 26—24 to anderson. the second—longest match in wimbledon history. isner was also involved in the longest ever match which lastest more than eight hours. now the tie break will come in at 12—games all, and organisers say this measn the match will reach a conclusion in an acceptable time—frame. willjose mourinho be in the dugout for the big game of the premier league weekend? mourninho and his manchester united side face his old club chelsea tomorrow. mouriho has until six o'clock today to respond to a charge of using "abusive, insulting or improper language" after manchester united's 3—2 win over newcastle earlier this month. he's likely to leave his response to the last minute to avoid a disciplinary hearing convening before the game at game at stamford bridge. the fa has urged the police and social media companies to act after death and rape threats were sent to the chelsea and england player karen carney.

the threats cam after chelsea beat fiorentina in the champions league on wednesday. england boss phil neville says another player has recieved threats overnight. the fa saying it is "appalled" and "dismayed" and wants police to do more to deal with abuse. the metropolitan police said it "takes allegations of threatening and abusive behaviour very seriously". after winning six of his last seven races, it's potentially a huge weekend for lewis hamilton. he could win his fifth formula 1 world title at the us grand prix if everything goes his way in texas. in fact hamilton could finish outside the top three on sunday and still win the title. if he does it, he'll sitjoint second in the all time list of winners with only michael schumacher ahead of him. and christian wade has left rugby union side wasps to pursue a career in the nfl. the winger, who won one england cap in 2013 and toured with the british and irish lions that year,

it wants the target brought forward by eight years, and to ensure the ban covers all but the cleanest hybrid cars as well. mps also think the charging network for electric vehicles is simply not fit for purpose, and they've condemned the government decision to reduce the grants available for buyers of electric cars. electric is the future, so the challenge is, how do we make electric possible? that means rolling out the charge points, which will encourage manufacturers to manufacture more cars if they know that people are going to buy them because people no longer have that range anxiety. but bringing the ban forward would be farfrom easy. sales of electric cars have been rising fast, but they still make up a tiny percentage of the market. plug—in hybrids, which have normal engines but can run on electric power for short distances, also have a very small share. with more than 31 million cars on the road, phasing out petrol and diesel will certainly

be a challenge. in fact, the society of motor manufacturers and traders says bringing the target forward by eight years would make it nigh on impossible to meet. the government hasn't responded to the criticisms directly, but a spokesman said it wanted the uk to be the best place in the world to build and own an electric vehicle, and it outlined measures for a major improvement in charging infrastructure. theo leggett, bbc news. health care professionals need to improve the way they talk to patients about death, according to a new report. nearly half of all lives end in hospitals, but the royal college of physicians says many health workers lack confidence when it comes to telling a patient of a terminal diagnosis. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes reports. talking about death is never easy, but linda knows how important it can be for patients who are dying and their families. when her husband graham was seriously ill four years ago, linda found medical staff struggled with the conversation.

they literally just said you've got weeks to live. and sadly, it was done in an environment that wasn't private. as i say, there were five people round the bed. pages were going off at the same time. pagers were going off at the same time. it was very chaotic. it left a real feeling of guilt, because i felt i should have done more. i should have done more because that was a private moment, a really significant moment for him. nearly half of all deaths in england are in hospitals. one in three adults admitted to hospital as an emergency is in the last year of their life. but only 4% of patients have talked about end—of—life care with a doctor. as doctors they will be seen as a failure for saying we can't necessarily prolong your life and they are worried about the reaction they'll get. the second is we don't always have the confidence as doctors or the training or the experience to have those conversations sensitively and the third thing

is we don't always have the time or the privacy, or the right information, we worry about rushed conversations done badly. so i think there are some practical considerations. the royal college says talking honestly about dying is an essential part of making sure there is compassionate care at the end of life. dominic hughes, bbc news. joining me now toby scott from the campaign dying matters which was set up by the charity hospice uk. thank you for coming to talk to us. i know you have heard of some terrible examples of how conversations about someone dying we re conversations about someone dying were handled really badly? one of the worst i ever heard was from someone the worst i ever heard was from someone who had been feeling ill, gp had referred him to the hospital and he had a series of tests. he was fea rful he had a series of tests. he was fearful it might be bad news but hadn't had it confirmed. he went to get his results and the doctor

flipped to the notes and said, we need to get some on from the palliative care team in here. that was when he found out he had a terminal diagnosis. it is an extreme way of how not to do it, but you do here other stories. how much training, as faras here other stories. how much training, as far as you are aware, medical students have? we had a guest on earlier where they do it in mock situations and they have actors in these situations. it depends where you train and there is a finite amount of space in the curriculum. it is notjust the training, it is having the chance to be supported through the first times you deliver this news for real. the training, you would like there to be uniformity in the training? consistency and more of it, yes. how

much time and space, if you like, is there for the support you talk about to be given tojunior there for the support you talk about to be given to junior doctors? we all know the health service is under pressure and there isn't a lot of time to conversations. many others will have experienced not conversations about that but we have seen conversations about that but we have seen doctors who are harassed and in a hurry and need to get onto the next patient. it is also the attitude of thinking, how am i going to give this news to this person. it is very easy to dodge it and leave it to someone else, if are just one doctor dealing with a patient. but eve ryo ne doctor dealing with a patient. but everyone has a responsibility to sit down and say, do you understand what this means, happy thought about your future ca re this means, happy thought about your future care plans. start the conversation, even if you cannot finish it then there. in your experience and the families of patients themselves, often start the conversation or are they waiting on

the doctor to do that if they suspect the news is not good? everyone is different, everyone ta kes everyone is different, everyone takes this news differently or someone takes this news differently or someone might have a suspicion and will come out and say it. there is the white coat syndrome, we respect doctors and we're waiting for them to ta ke doctors and we're waiting for them to take the lead when it comes to our care. it is varied and about creating opportunities and space. the campaign from dying matters forces us to think about our end of life ca re forces us to think about our end of life care plans. also, to assess the questions in any context. what are your hopes for this report, what change and differences do you hope it can make? it is a very good report and we hope we will see more support for doctors in getting through this. also, the public has a role to play in this. don't be afraid to ask the questions. but we need to be comfortable talking about death and bereavement and just helping each other through this. toby helping each other through this.

to by scott helping each other through this. toby scott from dying matters, thank you very much. now it's time for a look at the weather. some others got off to a cold and foggy start this morning. it was slow to live but spells of sunshine through the afternoon. more in the way of cloud across northern ireland, scotland bringing patchy rain. sunshine but showers developing across northern and western scotland. temperatures are 12 and 13 celsius. further south, more like 14, 15, 16 and 17. clear skies are placed with cloud and with light winds, mist and fog developing. temperatures in more sheltered spots could be closer to freezing. a chilly night for eastern parts of scotland. tomorrow, more cloud across scotland, northern

ireland and the far north of england, bringing outbreaks of rain but further south it should be mainly dry once the mist and fog has cleared and warm spells of sunshine the temperatures up to 17, maybe 18 celsius. hello, this is bbc newsroom live. the headlines. the radical preacher anjem choudary has been released from prison after serving half of his sentence for encouraging support for the islamic state group. he was jailed for five and a half years in 2016. jeremy hunt has urged the conservatives to get behind theresa may's brexit strategy as the prime minister faces a backlash against the idea of extending the uk's transition period. the strength of the eu in these negotiations is that all 27 countries have remained united throughout. we need to do the same, and stand behind our prime minister so she can get the best dealfor britain. the father of a man who died after being assaulted at a block of flats in south london, has said his son

frequently confronted drug dealers on the estate. ian tomlin, who was 46, was found outside his flat in battersea on wednesday. turkish investigators widen their search to a forest near istanbul as they search for clues in the disappearance of jamal khashoggi. the government says there will be consequences for britain's relationship with saudi arabia if it's found that the country murdered the saudi journalist. and mps call for a ban on new petrol and diesel cars to be brought forward to 2032 — eight years earlier than planned. pa rliament‘s business select committee says ministers need to "get a grip" and tackle a lack of electric car charging points. and coming up before 1 o'clock — why did this chief executive walk off camera during a bbc interview? a british father has made a trip to syria to visit the spot where his son was killed. jac holmes, from bournemouth,

died afterfighting against the so—called islamic state group, in their self—proclaimed capital of raqqa. he made the trip along with other british parents who's children were killed fighting there. ?0ur correspondent emma vardy has this exclusive report. jac wasn't a fighter by any chalk of the imagination. they came outside and they killed each other. jac holmes was 21 when he made the decision to give up his life in bournemouth and travel to syria. at the time, the group known as islamic state was on the rise. jac wanted to help fight them on the front lines. for me, it was a personal choice. i wanted to fight against isis and i wanted to help the situation over here in iraq and syria. jac and many other westerners joined a kurdish militia — the ypg, one of the main groups fighting is on the ground. it is hell, really. it would be hell for any parent, yeah. itold him, i said i love you and i am proud of you, but i said

it is time to come home — after raqqa, enough is enough. just days after the battle for raqqa was over, jac was killed attempting to defuse an is suicide belt. he is one of eight people from britain to have died with the ypg. authorities in britain repeatedly warn people not to travel, saying fighting with any armed group abroad is not only dangerous but brings legal risks. now, jac‘s father and other parents of those who were killed have made a journey to syria of their own. jac‘s father also made the dangerous journey into raqqa. it was the primary reason me going on the trip, to see where jac had fallen. do you think it was right that the kurdish ypg allowed westerners into their ranks? youngsters like jack who had no military training? yes, absolutely. at the time, the kurds were almost overrun by isis, like all of iraq had been.

they advanced right through syria. my name is helin qerecox. my name from before was anna campbell. anna campbell, from lewes, was one of several women who came to fight. anna was killed in march by a turkish air strike. her father is still trying to have her body recovered. iam proud, iam proud of my daughter very much. but i also feel a lot of sadness. for anna's father, and jac‘s and others, the new bond they have formed with the kurds helps to ease the pain. but not all feel the same. the mother of ryan lock, from chichester, who died in raqqa in 2016, told an inquest she was angry with the ypg for helping him travel to the conflict. many british fighters who returned to the uk were arrested and questioned by police. but those whose lives were lost in battle will be

remembered here as heroes. emma vardy, bbc news. about 13 million adults in the uk live in areas where at least half the local banks and building societies have closed. bbc anaylsis of data from the office for national statistics has found nearly six thousand local branches have shut since 2010. the banking industry says closing a branch is only used as a last resort. david rhodes reports. this is sowerby bridge, a forgotten market town in west yorkshire. market trade used to be very good, but you have only got to look around now and see how empty markets are. james has been trading here for decades, but the closure of six bank branches has left him angry. business is getting very hard and it doesn't help when the likes of halifax building society close the cash machine. cash still plays a big role in this community and many others like it, but this bike shop and cafe sits opposite a former bank branch and it underlines how many bank closures

impact notjust on businesses, but on real lives. the lloyds across the road was really busy and one of the main thing is about trying to get change and things like that when you are a small business and you do not have... you are there by yourself trying to get change, the post office cannot meet demand. it is absolutely ridiculous. they are just going one after the other, disappearing. 0nline banking, it's the future. that's what the banks tell us. it's not, not for me it isn't, anyway. and not for a lot of people especially my age. as a nation, we now use debit cards more than cash and branch visits have fallen by a quarter since 2012. but consumer groups say they are alarmed by the rate of branch closures. but there is still a huge number of people out there that rely on face—to—face services that are solely reliant on cash, that don't have the capability or the desire to do online and mobile banking. and that's a group of people that are at serious risk of being financially excluded. uk finance, the body that represents banks, says branch closures are only used

as a last resort and millions of people can access banking services at a post office. but, ten years after the banks were bailed out by taxpayers, there are some who say they feel forgotten by an industry that once needed rescuing. the government bailed not just the halifax outcome just the halifax out, the banking industry. eight years on, they've been bailed out, they've got paid back and this is the way they have repaid you — closing branches and losing staff. david rhodes, bbc news, sowerby bridge. one in seven parts of the uk see mental health treatment fails more people than it helps, according to research conducted by the bbc. people with conditions like depression, anxiety and post—traumatic stress disorder are entitled to psychological therapies, such as counselling. but analysis of recovery rates showed a huge variation in recovery rates across the country — with twenty eight local areas not meeting the 50% target for recovery.

i'm joined now by doctor mike scott. he's a consultant psychologist based in liverpool. to clarify, the nhs aims to successfully treat half of all patients referred with mental health issues. in one in seven parts we are not seeing the 50% threshold met? that is correct. the 50% figure arises from own home work, which makes it somewhat suspicious. and there are huge variations from 20% to 70% recovery and if there was that variation for a heart procedure one would think something is seriously amiss. when i independently assessed 90 patients

who had gone through the service, i found the recovery rate was 15%. that is little better than the recovery rate one would expect if a client, patients had just seen the gp. you are saying if this was a variation we saw in heart procedures, it would indicate something was amiss, but with mental illness, would you expect greater variation anyway? is it harder to treat than say other physical problems? we know from random control trials in research centres that roughly 50% of people recover pretty well whatever the psychological condition. it is reasonable to have a benchmark of 50% stop in the controlled trials andindeed 50% stop in the controlled trials and indeed if an antidepressant was

being evaluated, you have someone independent of the drug company interviewing the patient. that is to see whether the drug has made a real difference. in the government funded service, there has been no such independent assessment, which is astonishing, as £1 billion has been spent on the service. you would like more independent assessment but looking again at the variation in different regions, is it due to funding, due to the treatment is not being set up as well as in other areas? psychological treatments should follow from a reliable diagnosis. if treatments follow from a careful hour and a half long diagnosis, the treatments are effective and you would get more or less the same recovery rates in

different parts of the country. what shows something is amiss is the vast range from 20% to 70%. quite absurdly. the figures would indicate that in some areas they are doing better than in the randomised controlled trials and the randomised controlled trials and the randomised controlled trials and the randomised controlled trials involve highly trained and qualified clinicians. it is seriously suggest there is someone is seriously suggest there is someone who can do better in the randomised controlled trial is quite absurd. you are saying, to clarify, in some areas it is a question of getting the right diagnosis and for the right footing? buddies right, if you do not get off on the right footing it goes pear shaped stop it is no different to medicine in general. if you do not an accurate diagnosis, one of the treatment you

perform goes awry. the service try to cut corners by using questionnaires rather than the reliable diagnosis, so the matter is flawed from the outset and to make matters worse, the service usually insist on a telephone assessment that lasts 20—30 minutes by the least qualified practitioners. so there is no reliable diagnosis. so there is no reliable diagnosis. so the whole edifice of the service is built on sand. ok, obviously a complex situation. doctor scott, thank you. thank you very much. an interview by a bbcjournalist has been watched and shared online hundreds and thousands of times after he asked the boss of a housing company about his £75 million bonus. jeff fairburn, who runs persimmon,

received the highest bonus earned by an executive in the uk last year. but when challenged, he walked off camera. our business correspondent based in leeds spencer stokes, conducted the interview. persimmon had become the first home—builder in the uk to open their own brick factory, rather than buying the bricks in from an outside supplier. so we went along to cover the story. the factory has opened in an area that has suffered job losses in the past, so persimmon creating 40 newjobs. the story was also to demonstrate home—building in the past five years has taken off and that business is booming. we did an interview about that but i could not ignore the fact that, back in may, shareholders at persimmon gave the go—ahead to a £75 million bonus for the chief executive. so i asked if he had any regrets about that the furore that surrounded that when that story broke six months ago. this was his reaction.

i, er, ithink think, yeah. perhaps not. i'm sorry, we are talking about the brick factory. obviously the construction of bricks follows on from how well persimmon is doing, so i thought the two issues tied together really. i would rather not talk about that, it has been well covered. you do not want to discuss that today? are there lessons to be learned about that, the biggest bonus in the country? no? i think that is really unfortunate, actually, that you have done that. spencer, sometimes press officers askjournalists in advance not to discuss a particular subject, what happened in this case? before the interview, the press officer said to me we are talking about bricks and not brexit. she did say we were not going to discuss brexit, but she did not mention the pay award. so i thought there is an opportunity to ask him about that.

if you watch the clip it is interesting because it does appear as ifjeff fairburn is about to defend it, or at least comment on it. it is the press officer who steps in and ends the conversation. i ask him if he wants to say any more. he refused to do so and walked out of shot and she asked afterwards if we would use that section i said we'd probably would do because of what had happened. this was an issue at the time that politicians got involved in. the business select committee in the house of commons were looking at corporate pay—outs, and it was discussed in may and vince cable the lib dem leader was talking about it ten days ago. so it is an issue in and out of the news over the summer, but this was the first broadcast interview he had done since then so why felt

it was an issue that could not be ignored. and that is what you would say to someone who would accuse you of ambushing him? that is a word being used and people described it as an ambush, but, as i say, this was a question i could not not ask. it had to be asked because nobody else had had the opportunity to ask the question since the pay award was made in may and i think if i had not asked, people would say — isn't he the guy from persimmon with the bonus, why did the reporter not ask the question? so it had to be done. the headlines on bbc news. radical preacher anjem choudary, jailed for inviting support for the so—called islamic state group, has been released from prison. jeremy hunt has urged tory mps to get behind theresa may — after a backlash against suggestions the brexit transition period could be extended. the father of a man who died

after being assaulted at a block of flats in south london, has said his son frequently confronted drug dealers on the estate. italy is heading for a potentially damaging confrontation with the european union over its budget. the populist coalition government is planning to honour election pledges with a big boost to public spending, with measures like earlier retirement and a guaranteed income for poorer italians. but brussels is concerned about italy's soaring debt levels — and could take the unprecedented move of vetoing the budget — as lebo diseko explains. it's four months since italy's new government was sworn in. the populist coalition swept to power, saying they'd end poverty. they promised tax cuts, better pensions and new social welfare policies — all of which come at a cost. and now the draft of the budget to finance those pledges has put the country on a collision

course with the eu. it says italy's proposed government spending is too high, and the country's public debt breaks eu rules. translation: i have three questions for the italian government. how will it pay for the new measures? who will meet the additional costs? and how will be debt be reduced? italy's plans would set the budget deficit at 2.4% of gdp to allow for greater spending. that's actually below the eu's deficit limit of 3% of gdp, but the country already has huge debt. it currently stands at 131% of gdp — second only to greece. and it's memories of the greek crisis that hang over europe like a spectre. the country's sky—high deficit meant it

had to be rescued by a emergency loans from the eu and imf. the austerity measures that followed led to social unrest, and realfears it could crash out of the eurozone. italy is the third biggest economy in the eurozone, meaning many see it as being too big to be allowed to fail. yet the idea of paying to bail the country out would be something other eu countries would resist. the president of the european commission, jean—claude juncker, says he anticipates insults and abuse by some member states if they were to accept italy's budget plans. brussels could reject the italian budget and send it back for revision. if that happens, it would be a first for the european union. lebo diseko, bbc news. with 11 grammy awards and hundreds of millions of record sales, it's fair to say, at nearly 79 — tina turner is the original queen of rock and roll. despite her success, tina's life story is one of trauma and turbulence,

i had a rag doll...# the melody of that song was... immitates different style # when i was a little girl...# imitates beat and the production of... the real production of that song was what phil wanted. the room was full of all kinds of musicians, that wall of sound. the famous wall of sound. how you get there is with an instrument here, another kind of instrument, four or five instruments. the room was full of an orchestra. and when that... immiates beat i chill now. it was another feeling to sing to that. you're 79 next month. how are you, tina? i'm happier than i've ever been in my life. i'm happier than i ever thought life would become for me. i did fall a couple of days ago

this rich source of food. and no one had ever seen this before — jaguars hunting sea turtles at night. they are images captured on a thermal camera that was top secret until a few years ago, and it's made here in basildon. to give you an idea ofjust how sensitive the camera is, it can pick out changes in temperature down to 0.001 degrees. so, if i put my hands on my chest, like this, iam heating myjumper. and, hopefully, when i take them away, you will see that. let me introduce paul. hello, paul. hello, richard. i know you are out there somewhere in the dark. we can even see a mouse from a mile away, searching for food in a ploughed field. wow, you can see a mouse in a field? yes, you wouldn't be able to identify what mouse species it is, but you can definitely tell it's a mouse running around. lights! paul is a wildlife enthusiast, and he was using the military camera to photograph owls at a local

aerodrome when he got chatting to someone with connections at the bbc. he sent some of the footage off to the natural history unit in bristol and, within 48 hours, i had the producer on the phone — could he come down and see this kit, because it was so, so much of a leap forward to the technology they were using already. she is nervous. and this is why. the faint glow in the grass is her hidden baby. a leveret, just a day or two old. a team spent a year adapting the system from something that was hooked onto the front of an raf helicopter to something that was portable enough for wildlife filmmakers. one of the reasons this camera has been able to capture previously unseen animal behaviour is that it can see a very, very long way away. if you compare it to our normal tv camera, that brown water tower on the horizon is six miles away.

here's the view on the thermal—imaging cam. or how about these coffee—roasting chimneys? look at the heat coming off. finally, we used it to film a bbc reporter at a watering hole nearly a mile away. spot the heat from the coffee. just a few years ago, this camera was still a military secret. now, it's transforming the way we see the natural world. richard westcott, bbc news, essex. police in ayrshire are warning people to be vigilant after an apparent sighting of a big cat. they've tweeted that a member of the public reported seeing what appeared to be a black panther in fields close to the b730 near the village of drongan. they're advising people not to approach the animal if it is seen again. now it's time for a look at the weather with alina jenkins. hello, for much of england and wales
