good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: killed inside the consulate. after two weeks of denial, saudi authorities confirm the death of journalist jamal khashoggi. lift off. the european space agency begins a mission to mercury to try and uncover some of the secrets of the solar system. the duke and duchess of sussex unveil a war memorial in sydney, as they prepare to start the invictus games. and in sport, jose's back at the bridge. chelsea host manchester united in the day's early premier league kick—off. good morning to you soppy it has been a glorious past few days for many of us, lots of sunshine, this weekend is not looking too bad but there will be a little bit of rain for the forecasts, particularly on sunday soppy emulator for all the. -- join ——join me —— join me later for all of —— join me laterfor all of the details. it's saturday 20th october.

our top story: after weeks of denial, saudi arabia has admitted that the missing journalist, jamal khashoggi, died during his visit to their consulate in istanbul earlier this month. saudi state tv said the initial findings of an investigation suggest he died when a fight broke out. president trump has described the latest version of events as credible, as jon donnison reports. after weeks of denials, saudi arabia is changing its tune. the admission that jamal khashoggi is is changing its tune. the admission thatjamal khashoggi is dead, finally came on state tv. more than a fortnight after the journalist walked into the saudi consulate in istanbul, never to be seen again, the saudis now say he was killed in a fight that broke out inside the building. speaking in arizona, president trump said the saudi explanation was credible. saudi arabia has been a great ally, but

what happened is unacceptable. we are going to see, they have arrested, for the people at the table, a large number of people having to do with the event that took place in turkey, the consulate, the saudi consulate. you accept it explanation? i do, i do. many disagree, including within his own party some. senator lindsey graham said he was sceptical about the narrative, was an understatement. saudi arabia announced it was sacking the deputy chief of intelligence, but that could be seen asa intelligence, but that could be seen as a move to protect saudi arabia's factor of raw. —— de facto ruler, who many believe may have sanctioned the killing. saudi arabia will hope its partial admission will dampen down international criticism, but for those who believe it is a cover—up, many more questions remain. jon donnison, bbc news. in the early hours of this morning, europe and japan launched two spacecraft on a mission to mercury, the planet closest to the sun. the joint project is named

bepicolombo and it will take the probes seven years to reach their destination. scientists hope it will allow them to discover more about the planet's origin. our science correspondent jonathan amos has more details. the beginning of a very long journey. bepicolombo is setting out ona9 journey. bepicolombo is setting out on a 9 billion kilometre trek to the inner solar system. this is europe and japan's first mission to the planet mercury and it will be hugely challenging. where the joint probes are headed so close to the sun, it is as hot as a picture of an. technologies must protect spacecraft from the hellish conditions. scientists hope they will make a raft of new discoveries. mercury is an oddball, it has an oversized iron core that no one has yet explained and service materials that shouldn't be there in such hot and environment. british teams are

heavily involved, they have built instrument that and spacecraft components. if we want to understand how our solar system at involved, mercury is a key part in that. our theory cannot explain mercury, it is an anomaly. we need to go to mercury and financial information about the planet the literary and then how our solar system formed. the sun's immense gravity will pull hard on bepicolombo, this means the probes must be careful not to go too fast and overshoot mercury. and arrival date has been set for 2025. only when they are in orbit at the probe can split apart and begin their parallel investigations. it is fascinating and we'll be speaking to a scientist suzie imber who was at the launch in a few minutes time. looking forward to that little later on. the family of a man who died whilst on holiday in egypt have told the bbc of their shock after his body was repatriated, and laterfound to be missing several organs. 62—year—old david humphries

from milton keynes, collapsed at a beachside resort in september. a postmortem examination in the uk found his heart and kidneys had been removed. the family has instructed a legal team to investigate what happened. i was with my son and ijust collapsed to the ground. because it was bad enough losing him, and everything that they had gone, they had misdiagnosed him and carried out a postmortem without my consent, said he had been embalmed and he hadn't and to find out his heart and kidney is had been gone, for those people over there that is the vital organ they need so they can get further on, so why take my husband i hundreds of central american migrants travelling to the united states have clashed with police on the border between mexico and guatemala. the mexican authorities have told migrants only those with valid documents will be allowed in. president trump has thanked mexico for stopping them far from the us border and said the military would be called upon if needed. the migrants, mostly from honduras, say they are fleeing

violence and poverty. polls have opened in afghanistan's long delayed parliamentary elections, with over 2,500 candidates and nearly 9 million registered voters taking part. however, the build up has been marred by violence and the taliban has ordered afghans to boycott the vote. nearly a third of all polling stations remain closed because of security concerns. 10 candidates have been killed and there are fears of electoral fraud. the fourth edition of the invictus games starts in sydney today and will see 500 competitors from 18 nations taking part. the seven day event was set up by prince harry to give recovering armed forces personnel a new way of dealing with the traumas of combat. the duke and duchess of sussex are on a 16—day tour of australia and will attend the opening ceremony at the sydney opera house, as our correspondent hywel griffith explains. for michael, the next week is going

to be intense. as he prepares to represent britain in rugby, volleyball and basketball. he says competing at last year's gains in toronto was life changing since been discharged from the air force in 2005, he struggled with depression. but being part of a team again saved him. i have been in the military, obviously you trust each other with each other‘s lives, really. when you do sporting events like invictus games, you are working in tightknit groups just like within the military. you can read each other‘s plays and games, you understand everyone. last year's gains in toronto saw teams from romania and ukrainejoin, this toronto saw teams from romania and ukraine join, this year toronto saw teams from romania and ukrainejoin, this year poland toronto saw teams from romania and ukraine join, this year poland will make its debut, bringing the list of countries to 18. after months of training camps, now it is down to last—minute fine—tuning. invictus is still in its infancy, withjust 500 competitors is not on the same scale

as something like the paralympics. but within four years it has succeeded in getting sick, wounded and injured veterans from across the world a new focus in life. it has certainly been given prominence here in australia, yesterday's flag raising ceremony on sydney harbour bridge was shown on live television. the games themselves have been on prime time every night. it made the still seen as prince harry's pet project, but the games are growing into a serious sporting competition. we're joined now by our sydney correspondent hywel griffith. hywel, what can we expect there today? from your report, getting a real sense of occasion about the start of the games. yeah, absolutely. invictus is made only have 500 competitors but it is very established and a very professional

set up and all of the security you normally see a round the commonwealth or paralympic event is attached to invictus is as well. it really is the main focus of the duke and duchess's visit. earlier on they took time to remember the fallen. they visited the anzac memorial for australian and new zealand fallen soldiers earlier on today. prince harry there in full military uniform. but now it is for those who are wounded and those who need a new focus in life and the opening ceremony over the bridge on the other side of the shore at the opera house is going to be quite an event, beamed across screens in australia and around the world, they really have that sense of occasion. thank you very much. we can tell there are pretty windy conditions. talk to you throughout the morning, thank you. and as the athletes prepare for the invictus games down—under, an australian team has just become world champions in the uk. timbersports involves athletes sawing and chopping wood, at speed, using axes and saws. there are six disciplines, including the underhand chop, the stock saw, the standing block

chop and the hot saw. those are the different classifications, and, it yes. —— and, yeah. have you chopped wood before? once or twice a. be careful at home. great britain were knocked out by the eventual winners in the last 16. the event has been taking place in liverpool and it's the first time the championships have been held in the uk. the individual world champion will be crowned later today. the time is 11 minutes past six. mercury is the smallest and least explored planet in our solar system and its origin has intrigued scientists for years.

this is the moment the probes known as bepicolumbo, set off in the early hours on a seven year quest to discover more about the ‘swift planet'. it's the first european mission of its kind and planetary scientist suzie imber was at the launch and joins us now from french guiana. lovely to talk to you. how exciting was that launch, tell us about it. the launch was absolutely incredible. what i think made it more powerful was it was at night launch a. as we looked out only 70 kilometres away from the launch, it would really looked as though the sun was rising as this rocket powered into the sky. just incredible. tell us why this is an important omission. what can mercury bring us in terms of knowledge? there are two aspects that we want to focus on. one is about the structure and evolution of the planet itself. so how did it form?

how has it evolved over time? we will address this by establishing the magnetic field, the surface and the magnetic field, the surface and the tenuous atmosphere of mercury. mercury is an anomaly in our solar system so it is really important to try to understand how it forms and defaults. the other thing we can do is we are interested in looking at mercury's dynamics. is close to the sun and it experiences extreme space weather events. —— it is. we are trying to understand the physics of mercury's interaction with the sun as well. what you mean it is an anomaly? metric is a really dense planet. is composed of its huge iron core and at the moment we cannot really explain how mercury formed this massive iron core as it forms so close to the sun. it seems to have the surface that has a lot of volatiles but doesn't seem to have

much metals. really, lots of questions about mercury as a planet. let's talk about the challenges, can you tell us about the challenges of getting an aircraft the planet? i was looking at the facts, it is 58 million kilometres from the sun, but it has temperatures of more than 400 celsius soppy however, it has two icy poles. how does that work? yes. exactly. one of the main engineering challenges is to overcome the temperatures on mercury. one side of the planet, as you mentioned, is well over 400 celsius, the other side is over —180 degrees, as our spacecraft orbit that is a massive constraint. in terms of the ice, this is an incredible discovery that was made recently. we found that, buried deep in craters near the poles of the planets, there is solid

water ice, which is extremely surprising given the temperatures on mercury. let's talk about exactly what happens. it takes seven years for this craft to get there. what happens on the way? will we get data on its way and what happens once it gets there? what we launched today was for pieces. we launched the mercury transfer module, the goal is to get the craft to mercury. then we have our truce to get the craft to mercury. then we have oui’ truce race to get the craft to mercury. then we have our truce race craft combined with the sun shield. is a seven—year journey and first of all it will fly past the earth and then we will fly past the earth and then we will fly past venus twice and then passed mercury six times until we finally get ca ptu res mercury six times until we finally get captures into orbit around mercury. it is a really long journey for us. some of our instruments will be switched on. the magnetic field instrument for example, we deployed ina week instrument for example, we deployed in a week and will be switched on for the entire duration. other instruments like the one we built at the university will not be switched on until we arrive.

the university will not be switched on untilwe arrive. i think it is fascinating. thank you so much for talking to us. glad you got to see that an icu jumping up, you are still excited. thank you so much. it is time to look a little closer to earth. the weather now. good morning to you both. it has been lovely the last few days. sunshine around. like chilly mornings. we have had mist an fog around. this weekend for many of us isn't looking too bad. dry weather, sunshine, the best of the sunshine further. further north changes will take place, breeze and sad and outbreaks of rain. this morning we start on cool notes. this and fog patches around. temperatures a little higher forfor around. temperatures a little higher for for belfast, more cloud. around. temperatures a little higher forfor belfast, more cloud. some around. temperatures a little higher for for belfast, more cloud. some of this mist and fog can be quite dense, the west midland into eastern wales. it could linger into the afternoon if you are lucky. most of it should clear. plenty of sunshine for england and wales and also

eastern scotland, despite much of western scotland, northern ireland seeing more cloud, more of a breeze as well, when you cross the north—west corner. 12 showers. elsewhere, a dry and fine afternoon. no steve riches. 17, 18 —— night temperatures. as we head into the evening, many start on the phone it. temperatures of falling away. —— fine at night. rain across the north—west corner of the country. more of a breeze as well. the temperatures, single figures in the south and double figures in the north, where we have more cloud. this is the culprit for bringing the cloud and outbreaks of rain to the north—west corner of the country. high pressure hold on for england and wales high pressure will be setting itself into next week. what that a moment. on sunday, more of a change. england wales largely dry, good sunshine. the red cross in north—west mu south—eastward and

becomes a band of cloud for parts of the midlands and into wales. ahead of it, bright and showers, and right across the south, where we could seek a team again. feeling fresher as that band of cloud moves southwards. —— c18. the high pressure builds as we move into next week. weather fronts topping across its northern front means that for northern scotland and the northern isles it will be wet and windy at times. elsewhere, because of high pressure, despite the north—west breeze it should be breeze —— dry with sunshine. once the early morning for clues away. it will feel a lot cooler —— early—morning fog clears away. the rest of next week, dry due to the area of high pressure. good spells of sunshine, thick lee mist out. fog patches here and there, mainly in southern areas. towards the end of the week, as the wind speed northerly, it will turn colder. not looking too bad for the

next four or five days. back to you. i think we are lucky this october. most of us. we will see later. we'll have all the headlines at 6:30, but first it's time for the film review with mark kermode and ben brown. hello there and welcome to the film review here on bbc news. talking us through this week's cinema releases as ever is mark kermode. what have you got for us this week? very interesting week. we have fahrenheit 11/9, a new documentary by michael moore. we have dogman, a cannes prizewinner from matteo garrone. and they shall not grow old, and extraordinary great war documentary by peter jackson. so, fahrenheit 11/9, michael moore of course a great polemicist.

is thisjust trump in his line of fire in this film? not entirely. so the title is an inverted fahrenheit 911, which itself was a play on fahrenheit 451. the 11/9 refers to trump's election. the film begins in the old fashion of how did we get here? what then basically does is investigate the way that both democrats and republicans have kind of abandoned a disenfranchised portion of america and what michael moore argues is that when that kind of thing happens, that's when you get the rise of trump. it's at its best when it is investigating specific examples such as he goes back to the flint, michigan water crisis in which the pursuit of money essentially meant the people ended up drinking poisoned water and politicians did not act well. in fact, there was what amounts to a cover—up.

here is a clip. this is a april cook hawkins. she was asked to participate in cover—up. i was the case manager in michigan. all the results in regards to the blood levels, i put in those numbers and made sure all them are correct. while doing so, she discovered that the government officials had cooked the books. my supervisor asked if i would go in and help them out with the numbers, and not showing certain things. if someone came in high the health department did not want that number to be shown. she began keeping falsified records and was afraid to show them to anyone. until she got them to me. is this an actual document? that you kept as a piece of evidence? yes. the normal is 3.5 and anything above 3.5 is considered a high level. six, six, five, six, five, five, six, seven, ten, six, eight, six, six, 14. not a single number

that says 3.5 lower? no. how does this compare to michael moore's other films? it doesn't have anything like the impact of the film to which the title refers, which i think went on to become the biggest selling documentary of all time, and it's questionable as to what effect it will actually have. the interesting thing is, what i like about it is, it has less grandstanding and less stunts than his previous documentaries have, which i think is sometimes borderline flippant. there was also some uncharacteristic soul—searching from michael moore. he talks about his own relationship with some of these figures. we actually get to see him on roseanne some years ago with donald trump in which he admits, i went really easy on him, i went soft because they asked me to. i think it is sincere, passionate. i think the most important thing is it suggests there is a younger generation of people coming through who will refuse to be mistreated, who michael moore suggests are the future of the country and the beginning of a brighterfuture but i do not think it'll have anything like the impact of the film to which the title refers.

ok, now, we've also got they shall not grow old which is a film by peterjackson and we will come to that in a minute but let's do dogman as well. tell us about that. this is from matteo garrone. the maker of gammorah. very gritty. a reality which is a very strange film about reality tv and tail of tails. this takes a little bit back to gamorrah. it is about a dog groomer who has a job on a desolate seafront. he wants to be liked by his neighbours, he wants to be liked by his daughter. he has an ingratiating smile but he also has the manner of a dog that has been beaten by headmaster and wants to please him but is also caring. he is believed by the steroid thug who everyone knows is terrible, everyone knows they must do something about him but nobody will and in the end, marcello is the person who has to deal with him. what i really like about this, firstly, it has a brilliant sense of location, it has real tragedy in it and real pathos.

at the centre of it, is the actor who won the best actor award at cannes, i think deservedly so. i think it is a really terrific film and he holds the whole film together and is really the emotional core of it. a very deserving best actor winner. they shall not grow old this is peterjackson, famously the director. you were interviewing him about this the other day and this is a fascinating project. yeah, so, the imperial war museum had at him to do something new with archive footage for the centenary of the armistice. he looked at the footage and not actually the best thing to do would be to try and bring it up to date, take old black and white, silent footage and process it you make it look as contemporary as possible. what they did was, correct the speed, because you know old, silent films run at various speeds, often look a little bitjerky, cleaning up the image, then doing a colourisation process which is done with incredible attention to detail, and finally actually getting actors to lip sync... they got lip readers to sort to figure out what people on screen were saying at actors to fill in the blanks and then we hear, no narration but the voices

of veterans that were recorded actually by a bbc archive and the whole thing comes together in an extraordinarily vivid portrait of these events, which reflects not just the horror of the war, but also, i think there is an important part of the documentary, the strange sense, at least at the beginning, of adventure. here's a clip. you lived like tramps. wore any uniform, bits that you liked. all they were concerned with was that you were fit to fight. if nothing was happening coming to chat about where he came from, where he came from. everything was friendly. it was a terrific amount of kindness, in a way, to each person. when there was not a war active, it was really rather fun to be on the front line. it was not very dangerous, so like a camping holiday with the boys, with a slice of danger to make it interesting. does the fact that it is sort of no longer stuttering black and white, does it make you empathise

with these guys on the front line? i think it does exactly that. we are used to seeing... some of the images we have seen before, we're used to seeing them as black—and—white footage, historical document, partly the speed thing is very important but also because it looks like old, grainy, black—and—white footage but if you look the camera that the battle of the somme was shot on, it is a big wooden box. yet suddenly, with processing, it looks contemporary, and brings it all closer and the first time i saw it, there is a section that goes from black—and—white to colour the media and audible gasp in the auditorium. it is so much more than a gimmick. it is something that actually puts the humanity back into that footage. it is an extraordinary use of technology to restore the human element to footage that we thought we had seen but then somehow comes alive. this trench footage that... it looks like it was shot yesterday. we see faces, you see the pictures of how young they are, you see the smiles and the frantic feel, they feel like real individual

people, not just figures from archive footage. jackson said very clearly, this is not a documentary about war, it's a story of those men. it is emotionally overwhelming. i think it is a real passionate project and a real labour of love, and either the interview with peterjackson when he played it and they were going to show it to schoolchildren, i think it'll have a huge effect. anyone who sees it will be really affected by it. it is like a compressed history of cinema, 100 years of technology put together. what did he say about why he wanted to do this so much? he has been interested in the first world war for a very long time and it was the opportunity because the imperial war museum iinvolvement. he said the centenary is only going to come around once and he had this... what he did was, because peter jackson has worked so much with technology, he wanted

to know what it could do. how could we make this with footage come alive? he said they did a test wheel and when they did that, they looked at it and went, that is astonishing. and it really... believe me, it is really breathtaking. you've never seen anything like it. it's an amazing artistic and technical achievement. yes, i thought so. stunning. so powerfully moving. ok, thank you, mark. best out at the moment? i love first man. have you seen this yet? going to see it this weekend. here is the thing, it's not a movie about space, it's not a movie about the moon, it's a movie about the loneliness and grief that happens to have a spaceship in the middle of it and i thought it was... again, i thought it was wonderful. i know some people said why is it so downbeat? because it is an internal story thatjust happens to be about the moon landing. the other thing about it is, it really captures that sense that the space rockets were held together with rivets and screws, and old flicks switches, you are in a tin can on a massive amount of fuel. the bravery involved in it is quite extreme. incredible courage, yes. i loved it, really love it. ok, i'm looking forward to that. and best dvd? just briefly, the happy prince. i mention this because it is

an interesting film. rupert everett directs and stars in a film about the last years and indeed days of oscar wilde. while i don't think it's dramatically perfect, every now and it again you see a film and you think, this is made with passion and care, and something you can feel in every frame. for all the things that are not... don't quite work in the film, i think it has a real sincerity and a real honesty about it. i mean, it is a slightly flawed work but i admire its intentions and you can tell it as a heartfelt project. i'd always rather watch something that looked like someone really yearned to make it than something polished but felt a little bit careless. mark, fantastic. thank you so much. a quick reminder before we go that you will find more film news and reviews from across the bbc online at bbc.co.uk/markkermode. you can find all previous programmes, of course the bbc iplayer. that is it for this week. thanks so much for watching.

goodbye. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. after weeks of denial, saudi arabia has admitted that the missing journalist, jamal khashoggi, died during his visit to their consulate in istanbul earlier this month. saudi state tv said the initial findings of an investigation suggest he died when a fight broke out. president trump has described the latest version of events as credible. 18 people have been arrested and two seniorfigures have been sacked. in the early hours of this morning, europe and japan launched two spacecraft on a mission to mercury, the planet closest to the sun. the joint project is named bepicolombo and it will take the probes seven years to reach their destination. scientists hope it will allow them to discover more about the planet's origin. the family of a man who died whilst on holiday in egypt have told

the bbc of their shock after his body was repatriated, and laterfound to be missing several organs. 62—year—old david humphries from milton keynes, collapsed at a beachside resort in september. a postmortem examination in the uk found his heart and kidneys had been removed. the family has instructed a legal team to investigate what happened. i was with my son and ijust collapsed to the ground. because it was bad enough losing him and everything that they had gone, they had misdiagnosed him and done a postmortem without my consent, saying he had been embalmed and he hadn't, and to find out his heart and kidney is had been gone, if it's one of those people over there that is the vital organ they leave in so they can get further on, so why take my husband's? hundreds of central american migrants travelling to the united states have clashed with police on the border between mexico and guatemala.

the mexican authorities have told migrants only those with valid documents will be allowed in. president trump has thanked mexico for stopping them far from the us border and said the military would be called upon if needed. the migrants, mostly from honduras, say they are fleeing violence and poverty. polls have opened in afghanistan's long delayed parliamentary elections, with over 2,500 candidates and nearly 9 million registered voters taking part. however, the build up has been marred by violence and the taliban has ordered afghans to boycott the vote. nearly a third of all polling stations remain closed because of security concerns. 10 candidates have been killed and there are fears of electoral fraud. the macedonian parliament has voted in favour to formally change the country ‘s name to the republic of north macedonia. in june country ‘s name to the republic of north macedonia. injune it reached a deal with greece after 27 years of talks. the vote could unblock the

country's did to join nato and european nations. the fourth edition of the invictus games starts in sydney today and will see 500 competitors from 18 nations taking part. the duke and duchess of sussex are on a 16—day tour of australia and will attend the opening ceremony at the sydney opera house, the seven day event was set up by prince harry to give recovering armed forces personnel a new way of dealing with the traumas of combat. those are the main stories. it was interesting this morning, following the advancing sydney. is that point in the buildup were they start to talk about sport. the back stories are so fascinating. it comes to a point where they are competing like any other sport. it is like watching the paralympics are any other sport. the back story gets forgotten and it

isa the back story gets forgotten and it is a competition. i think it kicked off yesterday. there was launch programme yesterday evening and now i think the actual ceremony begins with prince harry there. i think the actual ceremony begins with prince harry therelj i think the actual ceremony begins with prince harry there. i think thatis with prince harry there. i think that is in around three hours. will show it when it happens. there is also live action cricket as well, i did note if you have been following the one—day series in sri lanka. it has normally been delayed due to rain. every body is excited about the match and the toss happens and all of a sudden the rain comes and nobody can play. one of the things, we are talking to michael vaughan later, one of the things i find odd is way —— why set a cricket match during monsoon season? because it is getting better. it is the end of the rainy season intra— lank and should be getting better as they move towards the test series that will be taking place later on. chris woakes, the man to beat.

shrine to going well, 87— one, the fourth match of the five match series. the other three badly affected by rain as i said. monsoon season out there. they will hope to avoid it, rain forecast for later on. jose mourinho returns to his former club chelsea with manchester united this afternoon. these games have been a bit testy at times since mourinho took over at old trafford. you might remember a bit of verbal sparring with previous chelsea boss antonio conte. but there's respect on both sides between maurizio sarri and jose. he celebrates like crazy. my team goes to stamford bridge or victory at sta mford goes to stamford bridge or victory at stamford bridge, i don't think so. i think i will always try to control myself, to respect the stadium and to respect the supporters who were my supporters

and my stadium for many years. lewis hamilton's hopes of a fifth world title are looking good after he was quickest in practice for the us grand prix in austin, texas. hamilton can secure the championship tomorrow if he secures eight more points than ferrari's sebastian vettel. with more, here's nick parrott. when it rains in formula 1, there is less fu n when it rains in formula 1, there is less fun to be found on the track. the high risk reduces the running time, fans and teams have too amused themselves. i just time, fans and teams have too amused themselves. ijust want time, fans and teams have too amused themselves. i just want you back for good! with a fifth world title within reach, lewis hamilton was keeping his poker—faced on, playing it safe by staying in the garage. title rival sebastian vettel couldn't afford that luxury, and it cost him. speeding during a red flag saw the stewards deal him a massive blow of a three place grid penalty and if that wasn't after and his day, hamilton rubbed his superiority

in. with less than ten minutes ago in second session, you finally ventured out and clocked the quickest time. more than five seconds ahead of the german. hamilton has won here for the last four years and few would against him, making it five in a row in austin, to lead his fifth world title. —— land. in rugby union, leicester tigers won for the first time in this season's champions cup. they beat scarlets 45—27 in a great game at welford road. leciester were trailing on the hour mark but hit back hard thanks to a fit—again and firing manu tuilagi, as the tigers raced away with the win in the second half. tuilagi is back in the england squad and he showed why with an impressive performance. now, i'm sure many of you will remember this classic wimbledon match. i was there. i saw the end of it. i saw the last sequence. it was an

extraordinary day, people will remember, but they were like walking corpses towards the end. john is that, particularly because of his size, the game just went on and on but it won't happen any more! —— john isner. the year was 2010, john isner against nicolas mahut in the longest match to date. the match went on for 11 hours and it's now going to stay as the longest in history because wimbledon have announced that a tiebreak will be played at 12—12 in deciding sets from now on at the all england club. cani can i ask an annoying question? if thatis can i ask an annoying question? if that is the case and is always the rule, i wonder how many matches in the grand slams wouldn't have gone to ten? it included john is the band kevin anderson. —— john ——john —— john isner. the decision has brought a big response on social media, three—time wimbledon champion boris becker says: former british number one greg rusedski said he wasn't sure. this is better than the previous

rule, but it's still an extra set after having played 5. i would prefer a tiebreaker at 6 all as the us open does. and former tour pro mardy fish says: john isner says: the record will not be broken. i don't think it will will be anyway, 70, 68 it was in the final. kyle edmund will face richard gasquet of france in the semi—finals of the european open in antwerp. the britsh number one got a bye to the last 4 after quarter—final opponent ilya ivashka withdrew through injury. meanwhile, johanna konta lost in the semi—finals of the kremlin cup. her run in moscow came to an end as she was beaten in straight sets by the sixth seed and local favourite daria kasatkina. there's been yet more controversy involving ronnie o'sullivan at the english open in crawley. earlier this week he described the venue as a "hell hole". now he says he feels awful for reaching the semi—finals.

that's because the defending champion accidentally fouled during his quarter—final against chinese teenager luo honghao, but the referee missed it. o'sullivan went on to win the frame to draw level, before taking the match 5—3. afterwards he said he hadn't seen it happen, but would be happy to play the match again. however, it won't be and he'll face mark davis in the semi—final. and finallyjoe hart returns to manchester city later with his current club burnley and ahead of the game city paid tribute to him at their training ground. a goalkeeper training facility has been dedicated to hart with a mosaic of his 2012 title—winning celebrations. you can see it behind hart in this video he posted on instagram. he says: it is so nice. jose mourinho knows

who will get a terrible time at casey today. you are not special any more, that is what they sing to him. —— chelsea. more, that is what they sing to him. -- chelsea. thank you very much. the time is 6:41a.m.. let's return to our top story now, saudia arabia has confirmed the death of journalist jamal khashoggi. an announcement on state television said initial investigations found he had died after a fight broke out in the country's consulate in istanbul. eighteen people have been arrested and two senior figures have been sacked. joining us now from london is david hearst, editor of middle east eye. thank you for your time. can you explain first of all, the

significance of this statement that has come from saudi state media, about the sequence of events. has come from saudi state media, about the sequence of eventsm has come from saudi state media, about the sequence of events. it is about the sequence of events. it is a major reversal of the story. they keep pretending that he left within 20 minutes of arriving, that he wasn't in the embassy and they have been lying, they have been really lying for weeks now. on multiple levels of. the constable said he didn't know what had happened to him. the interior minister said that all the stories about his death were lies. and crown prince himself gave an interview to bloomberg, in which he said the same thing. there were caveats surrounding what he said, he saidi caveats surrounding what he said, he said i am not sure, but my knowledge is that jamal khashoggi walked out of the consulate. now we have that admission, what changes?m

of the consulate. now we have that admission, what changes? it means that the murder took place, it contradicts all of the evidence that the turks are assembling. the prosecutor general is now go to his report, they still haven't found jamal khashoggi's body and we are now going to get the steady destruction of this story that they didn't really know about it. seven of his own personal bodyguards were involved in this attack. the tapes themselves reveal, i haven't heard themselves reveal, i haven't heard the tapes, but some of them did, they described it to me in great detail. he was attacked almost immediately after he was dragged out of the room, there was very little conversation, lots of shouting and screaming and swear words, no interrogation, and he was set upon immediately with knives on the table of the study. the other thing that is amazing is that if this was a

dispute or a row or interrogation went wrong, why were the locally hired staff told to leave 45 minutes before this happened ? hired staff told to leave 45 minutes before this happened? and why was a doctor present who was a specialist in cutting up body is extremely quickly? the situation now is that we have a tweet from donald trump, sorry, he was speaking to the press atan sorry, he was speaking to the press at an event. he has used the word is that the account of the events that the saudis are giving sounds credible. possibly people are thinking they can already see where this is going. the president of the united states is saying there is credibility around what they are saying now, albeit that there were lies. the saudis possibly will come up lies. the saudis possibly will come upa lies. the saudis possibly will come up a story about rogue elements, something that happened that shouldn't stop it 18 people arrested, taking appropriate action. what happens then, if that is because of what is said? -- that is

the course. as many analysts predicted, there would be an attempt to insulates the future king, the crown prince, from these events, even though everything points to him and he will be backed up by this, by his chief supporter, which is donald trump. i don't think this is going to play on capitol hill, i think there is a great deal of scepticism within minutes of this announcement. the next thing that is go to happen is that the prosecutor general in istanbul will issue his report and what is going to happen then is that the turks are going to demand the extradition of the 15 who arrived on those two private jets and who were carried out. i still think it is a murder, not the dispute corn wrong.

cani murder, not the dispute corn wrong. can i ask you one thing, you alluded to the tape and a lot has been said about this, they have heard it is very gruesome. do you think that tape will at some point in merge and would that change how donald trump approaches it, if there is that kind of evidence, as opposed to anecdotal stories about who was there and what happened? —— emerged. stories about who was there and what happened? —— emergedlj stories about who was there and what happened? -- emerged. ithink it will and it will be released. this is very much what like happened with sergei skripal here. the police took their time getting the facts together. the prosecutor general in istanbul is doing exactly the same. in fact, he waited, he did not start writing the report, he waited a few days to find out where the body was. he has not been able to find evidence of the body and he is starting our. all of this will come out now. the other thing that was stressed to me last night by the turkish authorities is that they have other evidence. i cannot go

into what this other evidence is, but it is notjust the tape. screams we re but it is notjust the tape. screams were heard, there were witnesses. and so, there is a lot of evidence that would be revealed by the prosecutor general, which i and confidence will —— which i am confident will challenge that this isa confident will challenge that this is a row or interrogation gone wrong. i thank you for your expertise this morning. david hearst speaking to us about the latest developments with jamal khashoggi. donald trump has treated, ina khashoggi. donald trump has treated, in a press conference he says he sees credibility in the saudis' account. that later in the programme. letters get caught up with what is happening in the weather —— let us. that is a gorgeous picture. pretty typical of this month. we have had a lot of sunshine. absolutely. it has been lovely. call

sta rts absolutely. it has been lovely. call starts but lovely with the afternoons. many places it will be nice. particularly england and wales. further north we will see rain down tomorrow, scotland, northern ireland, for a while and then the sun will return. starting off with a chilly note. not as cool as the last few mornings. mist and fog in there. nicolet in the midlands across eastern wales. some of the practice could linger into the afternoon. —— particularly in the afternoon. —— particularly in the midlands. sunshine breaking through the cloud further north, across the north—east scotland. north—west scotland, into northern ireland you will hold on to the cloud throughout the afternoon. the wind is more of a feature. within the northwesterner they equity light rain and drizzle. temperatures 14— 17 degrees. pleasantly warm for england and wales again. i is around 18 degrees. slightly above the seasonal norm. —— temperatures around. we will see this weather

front bringing more persistent rain to the north and west of scotland. a west into the night, further south, and other dry wine, mist and fog developing across england and wales. the woods will be lighter over this area. “— the woods will be lighter over this area. —— dry one. it will continue to seek south—eastward through the day and turn to fizzle out. not much honoured by the time it reaches england and wales. a disappointing start to sunday across scotland, outbreaks of rain. don't despair. as that moves southwards and weakens into a band of clout the sky should brighten nicely, 12 blustery showers. lilibet is pointing we hold onto the cloud, but temperatures in the mid— upper teens celsius —— a little disappointing. we set up the chart for this area of high pressure to build in as we had through next week. some weather fronts for the north of the country. this will bring rain to northern scotland and

the northern isles throughout monday. further south, the northern isles throughout monday. furthersouth, it is the northern isles throughout monday. further south, it is high pressure, slightly drier air, we should see plenty of sunshine and fewer clouds around. could have a little mist and fog through the morning but it should be quickly. notice the temperatures. we are into the low teens celsius. it will be on the low teens celsius. it will be on the cool side. throughout the week it will be largely dry thanks to high pressure. rhaney north it will be largely dry thanks to high pressure. rhaney north and west. back to you too. thank you very much. it's time for click with spencer kelly. woman on radio: all systems are ready. ignition. japan has just done something amazing. it has flown a spaceship

to a one—kilometre—wide near—earth asteroid called ryugu to do some incredible science. this is hayabusa2. it has just deployed three rovers onto ryugu's surface — the german and french mascot probe on 3 october, and before that, the japanese minerva ii robot. their mission: to measure temperature and magnetic properties, and take photos of the surface. and amazingly, this is how they get about. yep, they bounce. i have come to the japanese aerospace exploration agency, jaxa, to meet the team who designed the mission and try and get my head around this bonkers

mode of transport. in summary, this hops off the surface of an asteroid, it jumps about 10—15 metres into space, it stays... off the surface for about 15 minutes, and then comes back down... bounce and bounce and bounce. the images already returned by the minerva ii bots are wowing the world, but the risks they face are high. we did not have much budget, so we did not use very expensive devices. the rover hops and then bounce and bounce, so in that moment, the mechanicalfailure would happen, so something was broken. so this is a replica of hayabusa2. and believe it or not, deploying the landers is not even the coolest thing that this is going to do, in my opinion —

because this is going to land on the asteroid, take a soil sample, and then take off again. which i think is absolutely incredible. the first attempted landing is hopefully going to happen very soon — by the end of october. and then a little later, a second landing will collect more soil. if we can get the organic matter, we can study what kind of organic matter were exist, when the earth was born. now... that is a model of hayabusa2 there. it looks very delicate to me, and you are going to try and land that on an asteroid. what are the risks, and what is the most risky part? there are lots of boulders. big and small. we cannot find a wide area with no boulders. so that is our main issue. assuming all does go well,

next year hayabusa2 is going to go one better and try to collect soil from under the surface. and it is going to do that by using an explosive to blow a hole in the asteroid! and then, in one final heroic act of science, it is going to fly back to earth and return the soil samples to jaxa scientists, possibly to help them unlock the secrets of life itself. we don't know where the life was born. it may be on the earth, or it may be in the universe. we don't know that. so we want to study the original organic matter that exist when the solar system was born. thank you very much for your time. very best of luck.

thank you very much. he is going to lend a space ship on an asteroid and then take off and fly back to earth! now, every year in october, the tech world turns its attention to ceatec, japan's big tech show, which is a fascinating glimpse into the direction this country is taking its innovation. this is notjust another tech expo. it is quirky. yes, that is a sort of green pea alexa. and how about replacing alarm clocks with blowing air from the ceiling to wake us up? even though you don't like to be woken up. it is like somebody quietly going... laughs. so it is just a question of us finding what we think could be

the next big thing. you know what it is like. you are stuck behind a car and you can't overtake, because, you just can't see beyond that vehicle. well this car might be able to help you. it is fitted with a demonstration of a new technology called xtravue, and it means that you can see through the car ahead using its camera rather than yours. the vision of makers valeo is that the live stream from cameras in our cars will be available to everyone within a certain area. the forthcoming 5g cell network will make this tech more workable. imagine not having to guess what it could possibly be that's holding you up. horn honks. lucky escape! here is another angle on cars from mitsubishi. as the viewer changes position, so the car and lighting effects shift with them. obviously the car would not move like this in real life. what it would do is that

as you move around it, the lighting and reflections would change, and that is what this is trying to demonstrate. the hope in the future is that it can be used on billboards so that the objects within them glint and shine as you pass by, as if they were really there. but you had better hope it is a quiet street because at the moment it only works with one person. does it look as though the headlights are following you around the room? look up and see how natural these skylights look. up until now, if you wanted a fake window, the fitting would contain either a blue light or blue glass or perspex. there is actually no blue light behind here, it is just two white leds either side, with suspended diffusers, mitsubishi describes them as, in between, to replicate the way that natural light comes through the atmosphere. they won't give us any more information, and they say

it is about 2—5 years away before something like this could be installed in our homes, hospitals, or maybe even the underground, to give us a little bit of extra natural light. it is almost like i am expecting to see outside! japan is on the cusp of a tv first. this is sharp's very impressive second generation 8k tv on sale next month. but the real news is that the broadcasting of 8k starts on the 1st of december this year by the national broadcaster, nhk, so there will be something to watch. now another thing that might be of interest to japan's ageing population are these. they may look like normal glasses, but if i press the touch sensor on the side, you may have seen a little flash, and what that was was liquid crystals inside the glasses shifting orientation and changing the focus, meaning it's easier to see things close up, just like bifocals. now, the upside of these is that you can then turn them off and goes

back to your regular prescription. and we'll finish with something mind blowing, eye—popping, and jawdropping. i can't even walk in. it's messing with my perspective. this is borderless. the latest otherworldly experience from digital art collective teamlab. this amazing space is their first permanent home in odaiba in tokyo. a 10,000 square metre magical transcendent world of projected art that's never the same twice. this is just astonishing. it really is alive. the exhibits react to your

presence and your touch. nothing is just played on loop. everything is changing and reacting all the time. behind the scenes, 520 computers and 470 projectors bring to life the work of cg! artists, engineers, and architects. some of the artjust doesn't stay put. characters leave their point of origin and wander into other rooms and across other works. visitors even get their chance to add their own art to the exhibition. colour an animal, scan it in, and it comes to life, joining the user generated menagerie that is flying, swimming, and crawling the floors and walls. the other reason it's called borderless —
