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 admit the death of journalist jamal khashoggi. lift off, the european space agency begins a mission to mercury to try to 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 open the invictus games. and in sport, england's cricketers are in action in sri lanka they're just about to go into bat — after sri lanka made 273 from their 50 overs. england looking for the series win, good morning. a glorious past few days for many of us. this weekend isn't looking bad, a little bit of rain in the forecast on sunday. join me for 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 says 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 as jon donnison reports. after weeks of denials, saudi arabia 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 turkish officials say audio tapes

prove otherwise. someone who heard the tape described it to me in great detail. he was attacked almost immediately, then dragged out of the room. there is shouting, swearing, swearing. he was set upon with knives in the table of the consulate. 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, just for the people at the table, a large number of people having to do with the event that took place in turkey in the consulate, the saudi consulate. reporter: do you consider it credible, their explanation? i do, i do. many disagree, including within his own republican party. senator lindsey graham said to say he was sceptical about the new saudi narrative, was an understatement.

saudi arabia announced it was sacking the deputy chief of intelligence, ahmed al—asiri, but that could be seen as a move to protect saudi arabia's de facto ruler, crown prince mohammad bin salman, 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. we can speak now to our middle east correspondent martin patience who is in istanbul this morning. there are so many layers to this story. we have the admission and be suggestions of these tapes. then we've got the politics, which sit alongside it and the personal side of this, his fiancee, who has been

tweeting about the issue. we have a personal tragedy. this has become a geopolitical crisis, but at the heart of it was a man who loved a turkish woman. and the reason jamal khashoggi was inside the consulate was to pick up paperwork in order to finalise his divorce with his wife, in order to marry his turkish fiancee. she was waiting outside the consulate. she raised alarm when he didn't come out. now with turkey and saudi arabia admitting that he was killed, she tweeted my heart grieves, the ideas. with separation, we are saddened, my dearjamaal. it's a personal tragedy for her. a grieving family. at least now they know the truth that jamal khashoggi is not coming back. as to how he died, there is still a lot of speculation. thank you. 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 bepi—colombo 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 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'll be hugely challenging. where the joint probes are headed so close to the sun, it is as hot as a pizza oven. novel technologies must protect the 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 surface materials that shouldn't be there in so hot an environment. british teams are heavily involved, they have built

instrumentation and spacecraft components. if we want to understand how our solar system formed and evolved, then mercury is a key part of that. our current theories of solar system formations, including the earth and other planets, cannot explain mercury, it is an anomaly. so we need to go to mercury and find out more information about the planet so we can really understand 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. an arrival date has been set for 2025. only when they are in orbit can the probe can split apart and begin their parallel investigations. jonathan amos, bbc news. 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. there are reports of multiple explosions at polling centres in afghanistan's capital, kabul where voting in the long delayed parliamentary elections began earlier. we're joined now by our chief international correspondent lyse doucet who is in kabul. it's very good to have you with us. it's very good to have you with us. it's such a shame there were fears of this violence emerging and we are already hearing reports of explosions. yes, it couldn't have been any other way in a country experiencing its worst crisis, security wise, in terms of where the country is and the fall of the taliban. they vowed to try to stop the elections today. we are getting reports that they are doing just that. they've blocked roads, there have been reports of explosions at

polling stations. there was a rocket landing a few hundred metres from where we are in central car pulled. we have just returned from a polling station which was absolutely packed with men, women, crowding into cast their ballot. they all say, we are not afraid. we are brave and we are not afraid. we are brave and we are not going to let the taliban stop us. not going to let the taliban stop us. a mixed picture, that's what you have to expect from a country like this right now. we are seeing the pictures of the queues at the polling stations. millions have registered, but there are fears of election fraud as well. how can that be proven and exposed to the public so be proven and exposed to the public so that they know the democratic process is happening? well, it is really important. the legitimacy of this election rests on whether it is safe, and to use the phrase, free

and fair. i've been covering elections in afghanistan since the fall of the taliban i7 elections in afghanistan since the fall of the taliban 17 years ago, there is always a measure of fraud. some afghans are saying this could be the keenest elections yet. there is putting your finger in indelible ink, and people are holding up their finger. there result also a biometric system where you have an identity card, it sounds great and state of the art, but they are only introducing it weeks ago, as pressure mounted. people were saying that they would be so much fraud, so under pressure reintroduced the biometric system which means that it's not working in some areas, and people don't know how to use it. and it could be psychological, people say they are trying to stop us from multiple voting. it's not perfect, but afghanistan is hoping that by having the selection it's a landmark in itself, and the consequences are

hoped to be not severe. a pleasure having you on the programme. thank you for giving us an idea of what's happening there. two men have been charged with the murder of a man in battersea, south london. ian tomlin who was a6, died from a head injury in the communal area of the estate where he lived on wednesday. 45—year—old michael swan and 48—year—old gary beech are due to appear before magistrates later today. the fourth edition of the invictus games starts in sydney today with 500 competitors from 18 nations taking part. the event was set up by prince harry to give recovering armed forces personnel a new way of dealing with the traumas of combat. the opening ceremony takes place in about half an hour at the sydney opera house — 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 games in toronto was life changing. since been discharged from the air force in 2005, he'd struggled with depression. but being part of a team again saved him.

being in the military, obviously you trust each other with each other‘s lives, really. when you do sporting events like the invictus games, you are working in tightknit groups, just like within the military. you can read each other‘s plays and games, it's liek you're on the same wavelength. last year's games in toronto saw teams from romania and ukrainejoin invictus, 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, with just 500 competitors, it's not on the same scale as something like the paralympics. but within four years it has succeeded in giving sick, wounded and injured veterans from across the world a new focus in life.

it's 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 primetime every night. it made the still seen as prince harry's pet project, but the games are growing into a serious sporting competition. hywel griffith, bbc news, sydney. there are daily highlights of the invictus games every evening on bbc one at 5:25pm. the opening ceremony starts in around 25 minutes. prince harry is expected to speak at the event. it is really building up there. we will bring you up to date in what's happening in the front pages of the newspapers. the daily mail has reported on how

jamal khashoggi has been killed in the consulate. they are talking about why he was in there, he was talking about getting married to his fiancee. she has tweeted about her grief. the times leads with a story quoting ex—cabinet secretaries who are defending the civil service from attacks by conservative backbenchers over its record negotiating brexit. it also features a picture of the duke and duchess of sussex on bondi beach in sydney. that was a surfing organisation. three former cabinet secretaries who served under every prime minister since margaret thatcher are launching an unprecedented protest for undermining the civil service.

we will be speaking about the march taking place today in london in a few minutes' time. i think we are enjoying quite a lot of sunshine for october. you are right. some people are calling it an indian summer. we have had a cold spell, and that's what an indian summer spell, and that's what an indian summer is, prolonged warm sunny weather. it's glorious across many parts of england and wales, a bit of mist and son in that field with the blue skies. some high clouds moving down from the north. a little bit of rain at times for the north—west of the country. it should move through quite quickly. this is the picture for today across england and wales. the mist and fog clears the way.

more clouds streaming in off the atlantic. it could be quite windy as well. the north—west of scotland doing very well with the sunshine, 18 degrees in aberdeen. we have more clout, generally around 18,000. above the seasonal average. a dry one for most, pushing into the north—west of the country, down to a weather front, that weather becomes heavier and persistent by around dawn. in the north, more of a breeze. the south is chile under clear skies, some mist and fog. this is the weather front bringing the rain to the north—west of the country. we've got another area of high pressure building in for next week. finance saddles, but sunday has a disappointing start. much of scotla nd has a disappointing start. much of scotland has rain fizzling out to a

band of cloud as it reaches the midlands and wales. ahead of that, warm, sunny, 18 or19 midlands and wales. ahead of that, warm, sunny, 18 or 19 degrees. slightly fresher but bright. one or two showers. that weather friend clears after the continent on monday, this big area of high pressure establishes itself. you can see these packed isobars meaning a weather front which could bring wet and windy weather to the north of scotla nd and windy weather to the north of scotland and also to the northern isles. elsewhere, despite the breeze, particularly across the west, a fine day with a lot of sunshine. notice it is cooler and dryer. temperatures reaching 13 or 14 dryer. temperatures reaching 13 or 1a degrees at best. we've lost those high teens. the rest of the week, largely dry, spells of sunshine come particularly further south, some fog through the morning, turning colder by the end of the week as we pick up the northerly winds.

you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the life of a farmer on can be a difficult one — but now one couple in the lake district have turned to their local community for support. david and bekka corrie—close started their farming business without any agricultural background, and with a little bit of help from their friends now successfully tend a herd of 100 beef cattle on a bright, sunny autumn‘s day, cumbria looks at its very best. and it's this landscape, the soil, the plants, and the animals, where david and bekka corrie—close have chosen to live and to farm. finally getting this was installed so we have water in every field. it will make a massive difference to the farm. they are not from a farming family and neither went to agricultural college. this is their dream. not a fairytale one though. and they are determined to make it a reality. so our family initially, when we decided that we were going to live off grid in a yurt and start buying animals and start farming, they thought we were absolutely nuts, didn't they?

well, they were supportive, but they probably thought it would last five minutes. but it didn't last five minutes. and we are incredibly stubborn, determined people. after five years learning the ropes, they have taken on a national trust tenancy. both parties are adamant that land end farm must be nature friendly. we want to make sure that there is a viable business for them, but it is about making sure there is space for nature and allowing that to thrive. and the wider function as well, making sure the soil is protected, air quality, water, making sure it holds back water, all of those things are important to us, as well as — you can see it is gorgeous here. so making sure it is open for people to enjoy as well. with the national trust we know we have got that understanding from a landlord, a landlord on the same page, which will give us the flexibility to try things, fail at things, and to succeed. they call their business the horned beef company.

tet cattle will stay out all year round and will keep their horns, which often removed to protect the animals from injury if they are kept in sheds in winter. they've raised £20,000 by a recruiting local investors. it is called community supported agriculture. today they are delivering a box of meat as part of a return on investment. when we started investing they were grazing nature reserves, areas rich in biodiversity. so we supported that. and the low food miles. it fitted our needs. the food miles are ridiculous. the farm is there, the slaughterhouse's there, and the consumer is here. it is all within a mile and a half. the couple understand the pressure on farmers and the agriculture sector. and believe they have found a way to strike that delicate balance, making the land pay without it costing the earth. john maguire, bbc news, cumbria. that's an interesting project and

some stunning scenery. it is 9:20am. thank you for watching us. it's time to look at the papers. we are joined by tim walker. good morning again. you've picked out a variety of stories in the papers. i think this will get people talking. an mp insists his second job as a doctor won't interfere with his duties. the issue here is, is being a mpa full—timejob or not? are the issue here is, is being a mpa full—time job or not? are we voting for someone who's going to freelance, part—time as well? the mp for central suffolk and north ipswich has pulled in extra money by putting in 28 hours a week in a

hospital, on top of his mp time, at £77,000? there has been some disquiet about it. people say he's learning what it's like in a hospital and it informs his knowledge of the health service, but i wonder if he's got the stamina. it's an awkward subject for the telegraph, they pay borisjohnson £270,000 a year to write a column the paper. when an mp's salary is 77,000, and they are getting more elsewhere, where are your loyalties? there are two ends of this story, some could argue that you want a doctor to be concentrating on being a doctor. i'm not suggesting in any way that his medical skills are below par, but i think, be a doctor if that's what you want. it works both ways. the problem now was that we've got a generation of mps on all sides of the house who have come from party machines,

started off as researchers, and they know no real life. so there's a lot to be said about doing realjobs understanding real people. that is often what people complain about, you don't know what real life is like. politicians are almost bred in incubators known from the moment they are born. however, his voting record is 56%, he's only voted in 56% of votes in the house, that's the lowest of any mp. it is the lowest? one of the lowest. it's difficult to multi—skilled. it is the lowest? one of the lowest. it's difficult to multi-skilled. he says it never interferes with my parliamentary duties or responsibilities in my constituency. that's a quote from him. it's getting people talking. a story from the guardian. we've all talked about the guardian. we've all talked about the pankhurst, when we talk about the pankhurst, when we talk about the suffragette movement, but what about the others? manchester's

portico libraries putting an exhibition to celebrate at the suffragettes, there is a lady called lilian linton who was very good at escaping from the hands of the police. elsie do valve started demonstrating when she was barely 15, she died at 27 in the year in 1919, when women were still not allowed to vote until they were 30, so allowed to vote until they were 30, so she never saw what she had been doing come to fruition. catherine riley, the curator, says we want to show that mass action can have an effect. you are of course referring to the march that is taking place in london today. on a different note, architects do extraordinary work in extraordinary places. they do indeed. this is a story, basically, about what you give the dog who has everything. this pampered pooch is in a £10,000

kennel pampered pooch is in a £10,000 kennel, which is a designer kernel featuring multicoloured tennis balls, and there's a book about this which celebrates what they call pet architecture. and they say it's big injapan. architecture. and they say it's big in japan. cuts shouldn't feel left out, there are £6,900 worth of cat trees. what's going on here? there isa trees. what's going on here? there is a rabbit in there. i think it's a feline, actually. it is a very strange design. i don't think that pets really appreciate... can you imagine how frustrated that dog must be with all those balls and he can't play with them? lots of pet owners out there will sympathise with me, my felines have loads of beds in loads of rooms and they will sleep ona loads of rooms and they will sleep on a cardboard box, ora

loads of rooms and they will sleep on a cardboard box, or a laptop, rather than a bed i've bought for them. and then we have this auction. at the hard rock cafe in new york there is an auction of showbiz a rtefa cts . there is an auction of showbiz artefacts. if you have £4600 burning artefacts. if you have £4600 burning a hole in your pocket, then you've got michaeljackson‘s to play. you could get elvers's real here for £4600. john lennon's psychedelic sunglasses for £15,000. but if you are on a budget, emma bunton has some boots up for sale. those great big purple things in the corner for just 900 quid. michaeljackson's wig, how do you know that was his? i would imagine he had quite a few. i would imagine he had quite a few. i would imagine he buried one. this is probably just i would imagine he buried one. this is probablyjust one of them. i would imagine he buried one. this is probablyjust one of themlj find this a bit creepy. i don't know

if we can get it on the camera, in a jar is, valued at up to £4600, a lump of elvis presley's here. i think it's a bit weird. what do you deal with that? leave it in the jar, invite people to look at it?|j suppose elvis presley's here is worth more than... that is with the whole of michaeljackson's wig. i rememberjohn wayne being asked if it was real here, and he said it's real, it's just not mine! it was real here, and he said it's real, it'sjust not mine! we it was real here, and he said it's real, it's just not mine! we are it was real here, and he said it's real, it'sjust not mine! we are on bbc one until 10am this morning. when glynn purnell takes over in the saturday kitchen. glynn, what's on the menu for us? how are you this morning? i'm very well, as usual. i'm looking forward to this comment makes me hungry!

you cooking today? i'm cooking a mushroom risotto and parmesan cheese. that sounds fantastic. vivek singh? its party season in india, i'm doing haddock tempi were. so haddock with mustard seeds, and some broccoli as well. so seasonal stuff. jane? broccoli as well. so seasonal stuff. jane ? lots of broccoli as well. so seasonal stuff. jane? lots of nice wines, no elegant malarkey, just full, punchy flavours. you guys at home are in charge of what ellie harrison eats, soap go to the website and we'll see you at 10am. soap go to the website and we'll see you at 10am. stay with us, headlines coming up. good morning. coming up before ten o'clock, will have the weather and sport. first a summary of the main stories. saudi arabia has admitted that the missing journalist kamal khashoggi died during a visit to the consulate in istanbul earlier this

month. state media said the early investigation subject he may have died when a fight broke out. president trump has described the latest version of events as credible. 18 people have been arrested, two senior figures credible. 18 people have been arrested, two seniorfigures have been sacked. a protest march for another referendum on brexit will ta ke another referendum on brexit will take place in london this afternoon organised by the campaign group called the people's thought. critics 01’ called the people's thought. critics or argue that another board be undemocratic, while others say the full details about brexit not available at the time of the referendum. joining us now is a member of the group leave means leave. first of all, what is your ta ke leave. first of all, what is your take ona leave. first of all, what is your take on a significant number of people marching with a clear message? this is a march by people who are basically losers. they lost the vote in 2016, they then lost again in 2017, and these people, whether it is 50,000 or 100,000

people, they think they know more than the 17.4 million people who voted to take back our laws, trade and borders. we spoke to one of the organisers today, they made the point that as this process has unfolded the way it has the deal thatis unfolded the way it has the deal that is thus far been presented by theresa may, and we understand it still has a way to go yet, would offer less control, the same restrictions, and we gain very little. and on that basis, they say, why not have another vote? because thatis why not have another vote? because that is a complete con perpetrated by people who cannot accept the fact they lost. they need to get over it. yes, the prime minister and the cabinet are putting forward a really bad deal. the answer is, let's change the deal. we had a vote, we've opted to leave. the idea you should have a second referendum would be incredibly damaging most of all to the trust in democracy people

up all to the trust in democracy people up and down the country. here at leave m ea ns up and down the country. here at leave means leave we have been holding rallies up and down the country. the anger growing is palpable. i had a trucker come to me at the end of one rally recently and he said, just give me the word and i will blog london. people need to be under no illusions as to how people feel about what is a significant potential for a total betrayal of democracy in this country. clearly there is a lot of anger in that respect. do you at the same time acknowledge the right of people who do not hold those views to go on march, to me that giving and present an alternative to what you are suggesting? of course. we are lucky enough to enjoy free speech and the right to protest is fantastic. of course they are well—meaning and they are nice bunch of folks, but they are nice bunch of folks, but the reality is theyjust need to accept they lost. so instead of

undermining the negotiating beverage of ourteam, undermining the negotiating beverage of our team, they should be getting behind as brexiteers, getting behind the wheel of success and say, we can ta ke the wheel of success and say, we can take advantage of huge opportunities going forwards in a post—brexit world. it is a huge world was 93% of the world publish live outside the european union. that's what we should be focusing on. as i'm understanding some of the messages from those involved in the march, there is some crossover with your own position, the crossover being the frustration in what is happening by way of the negotiations. whichever way you voted, i think a lot of people are saying it is not being delivered the way we thought it would either from your side or from those who wanted to remain in the first place you object to the whole process. the extraordinary thing is, the only people who are clinging onto this appalling chequers proposal are the cabinet. everybody knows it is the worst of both worlds. everyone else seems to

be potentially throwing away an extra £20 billion of we have an additional transitional period. that is as much as she is proposing to invest in the nhs, and she treated like a round of drinks. it is appalling. bags for your time full stop. we're getting reports this morning of notable explosions in the capital of afghanistan where parliamentary elections took place earlier. the build—up to the ballot has been marred by violence. taliban ‘s arched afg ha ns has been marred by violence. taliban ‘s arched afghans to boycott the vote. ten candidates have already been killed. there are fears of electoral fraud taking place. been killed. there are fears of electoralfraud taking place. in been killed. there are fears of electoral fraud taking place. in the early hours of this morning europe andjapan early hours of this morning europe and japan watched two spacecraft on and japan watched two spacecraft on a mission to mercury, the planet closest to the sun. the joint projects, named bepi—colombo after the italian engineer who first captivated the maths behind

mercury's orbit, scientists hope it will allow them to discover more about the planet's origin. two men have been charged with the murder of a man in battersea, south london. ian tomlin died in the communal area of the estate where he lived from a head injury. two men will appear before magistrates later today. the fourth edition of the invictus games starts in sydney today with 500 competitors from 18 nations taking part. the event was set up by prince harry to give recovering armed forces personnel a new way of dealing with the traumas of combat. the ceremony is due to start shortly at sydney opera house. and the rugby coverage of the games on bbc around 525 every day of the games.

an inspiring event, and now they get to the sport. yes, it is about helping people deal with,, but at the end of the day you want to see what they can do because they are phenomenal athletes. and some of them go on to compete at the paralympics. for some of them this is just the start of what will be an incredible sporting career, we help. it isa incredible sporting career, we help. it is a breeding ground for paralympic champions, the invictus games. keep an eye on the cricket, england have just started games. keep an eye on the cricket, england havejust started batting. it will be a real test for them. we had michael vaughan on earlier saying they will be the favourite going into the one—day world cup next year on home soil, but you do need to be tested again some of the best sides in the world. sri lanka have not given them much resistance so have not given them much resistance so far in this series, the rain playing huge part. the best of the wickets from this morning, england

will have to bat to chase down the sri lankan total of 273. they made a few mistakes in the field this morning about showing her off the hook at times. it does not look as if rainbow effect today, sewing and have a chance to bat through to the close and potentially win the series that goes their way. the premier league is back after the break and the first one is a big one. jose mourinho up to his old tricks. he says he would love to sign his old clu b says he would love to sign his old club was maxed our man, eden hazard, but says it would be impossible because chelsea are led by intelligent people. picture has been fiery over the years but both managers say the going into today with plenty of respect. they had a stronger team. maybe player by player they are the best team in the premier league. at the moment i think that city is better like a

team. but player by player, they are very, very strong. 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 to amuse themselves. # i just want you back for good # with a fifth world title within reach, lewis hamilton was keeping his poker—face 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 the massive blow of a three place grid penalty, and if that wasn't enough to ruin his day, hamilton rubbed his superiority in. with less than ten minutes ago in the second session, he 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 bet against him making it five in a row in austin, to land his fifth world title. 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. they were trailing on the hour, but hit back though a fit again manu tuilagi and then didn't look back. tuilagi showing the kind of strength that's got him back into the england squad. now, i'm sure many of you will remember this classic wimbledon match. the year was 2010. john isner against nicolas mahut in the longest match to date. the match went on for 11 hours and that record will never be beaten at the all england club because wimbledon have announced

that a tie—break will be played at 12—all in deciding sets from now on. i don't know if you've listened to the commentary at the time, the commentators went on and on! imagine the red, traders going on and on. on tv it was ron macintosh, and it was one of his first commentary slots, court 18, just get through one of the first tv commentaries, and it has become one of the most famous matches of all time. it is a real skill bringing something alive when it isjust, skill bringing something alive when it is just, they are going at it again. 70—68 in the final set. u nless again. 70—68 in the final set. unless you were there, it is hard to describe just how drained they were. never again will we see that like at

will turn cooler by the end of the week as winds switched to a northerly. thanks, enjoy your weekend. now, this is a basket of forage to goods. the reason we're looking at this is that royal parks are concerned about too much stuff being picked, and people taking things like sweet chestnuts which they should not. and that affects the wildlife as well. james is a wild food expert. thanks forjoining us in bringing these goodies custard did you pick these in a great places? we did, from a couple of places? we did, from a couple of places in the uk. what are the rules forforaging? places in the uk. what are the rules for foraging? it depends where you are. typically, the rules are foraging for independent people, if you guys were to go out and pick... have you foraged before? does it

involve, literally, you see a berry ona involve, literally, you see a berry on a tree and you pick it and eat it? yes, done that. would you think you are breaking the law doing that? i thought you were not allowed to uproot something... definitely right gear not allowed to upgrade something. but blackberries on the hedge. yes, one of the rules, if you pick for your own personal consumption and that's fine. if you are picking to sell it, that's a different matter. presumably it would depend where you are. different matter. presumably it would depend where you arem different matter. presumably it would depend where you are. if you are on private land you should get the owner's permission to go and pick. if you are on public land, in theory you own the land, you can go and pick there. the question here is royal parks. quick question, how do, you know, some restaurants say this is foraged food. it will buy into that because they think it is not manufactured. if you're not allowed

to sell foraged food, how do they do it? foragers that self would have licenses, you pay for that licence. all our foragers are accredited. specifically about the royal parks, they have genuine concerned. they ca re they have genuine concerned. they care about the environment. do you think they are right to... ? yes, the deer either a sweet chestnuts, this is about people taking them. but you don't take too much of anything. if everyone went and picked sweet chestnuts that's an issue, but if one or two people went to pick, as long as they then respect the park, you will feel more attached to the park. but how do you know who has picked what? exactly fa st we know who has picked what? exactly fast we have a few things in here, we have little cordial, we have some mushrooms we have picked, some different types. anything we can taste ? different types. anything we can taste? you can try this little cordial. i'll try the cordial. this

is see personally. have you tried samphire? this is quite similar. and i would eat this as it is? yes, the dinner salad. it should give you a good salty crunch. really nice! i have allergies, and a bit nervous. nettle, is at the herb or... ? you could use it as a salt substitute or asa could use it as a salt substitute or as a salad ingredient. how long does it take to make this? not very long, we boil vessels and that sugar and lemonjuice, we boil vessels and that sugar and lemon juice, and that's we boil vessels and that sugar and lemonjuice, and that's it. it's worth saying, just be careful. if you are foraging, dude on the right place and be careful. yes, and only eat if you are sure. he fascinating

story now, and an adventure that are still going on. there was a group of pilots in the 19605 known as the mercury 13 credit past the rigorous tests to become astronaut. however, politics and prejudice against women at the time meant that not one of them made it into space. so mary wallace funk went on to become america's first female aviation inspector, remains determined to move into orbit. let's find out a bit more about that story. right now we're at the space centre book store, and my goodness, although which they have, stages to saturn, the man on the moon, countdown, moon launch, before this decade is out... the first man, the last man, rocket man, apollo 13.

what about the women?” last man, rocket man, apollo 13. what about the women? i don't see any. the notebooks on the mercury 13. it is all about the guys. sue nelson has written a book about wally‘s fascinating journey. we were a dog about this, and said that her character lea ps a dog about this, and said that her character leaps off the page and clambers all over you, she is so fantastic and so inspirational. you had adventures with her, didn't you? idid, and had adventures with her, didn't you? i did, and that is what was fantastic about writing about this woman. she is larger—than—life. she doesn't just the woman. she is larger—than—life. she doesn'tjust the page, she leaps into a room, she goes up and speaks to everybody. she is an amazing pilot, a terrible driver. most killed me a couple of times driving

with her. it is lovely to celebrate this woman who did so much and such are part of space history, and yet so are part of space history, and yet so few people know about her or the mercury 13. mercury 13, many people will hear that for the first time. what were they? in the same way that you had the mercury seven, the first american astronauts, the guys in the silver shiny suits, at the same time female american pilots also took those tests between 1960 and making 61, and 13 of them passed. 13 women we re 61, and 13 of them passed. 13 women were ready to be astronaut in 1961. but they never got into space because at the time nasa would not admit women, and they did not until the late 705. and wally was the youngest to she was 2222 protest full stop and she has been trying to

get into space ever since. and we hope she's going to get there next year. these women were trailblazers. when we spoke to you earlier you we re when we spoke to you earlier you were so when we spoke to you earlier you were so excited about her. women lost jobs just to were so excited about her. women lostjobsjust to get were so excited about her. women lostjobs just to get on that training ground. some of the marriages collapsed as well. what has it meant to you in the industry? i grew has it meant to you in the industry? igrew up has it meant to you in the industry? i grew up in the us, i grew up with this story, i grew up looking to sally wright who eventually became nasa's first female astronauts, and it is incredible to show that actually there was not a physical barrier, not a psychological barrier, not a psychological barrier, it wasjust barrier, not a psychological barrier, it was just at the time literally the rules in place and woman were not allowed to pass into the astronaut class. it is lovely to see people like wally and now there is no reason why they should not be astronaut. of course today it has changed, we have peggy whitson, nasa's must experience astronaut, man or woman. a friend of wally. and

she has done the most spacewalks, the most time and space as an american astronaut. she is incredible. so it has completely changed, but it is incredible to see wally funk still going strong, and hopefully going into space! how old is she now? she will hate me for saying this. in fact, she wanted me to re m ove saying this. in fact, she wanted me to remove all references on a rage from the book, and the internet, which add to let down on that one. —— references to her age. she will be 80 next year, and she is flying up be 80 next year, and she is flying up with virgin galactic. she bought a ticket in 2010 for $200,000 using her parents inherited money and what little savings she had, she put it into that to make sure. she has been training, she has done training with cosmonauts, she went on a zero gravity flight when she was 61. hopefully she will get into space

with virgin galactic. the first question comes to mind, anyone adheres, will be 80 years old, we have interviewed tim peat on the sofa, and he has spoken about the physical impact of space training let alone going into space. she can do that, easily. she learned to fly when she was 16. she can do aerobatic full stop she was the first female to teach a civilian flight first female to teach a civilian flight instructor in 1960. she could do six gs doing acrobatics, you only need 3gs grader space was she just needs to pass a medical. john glenn we nt needs to pass a medical. john glenn went into space again in his 70s. once you're out right about there, it is great if you're all because you are right about there, it is great if you're all because you're floating, you don't need strong muscles. it isjust the launch. and it's not like the space station for

you might stay on board for six months or year and then have problems with bone density and muscles wasting, which is why they need to do exercise every day. these commercial space flight trips would just be for going up into space for about 56 minutes, and then back down. you explain how she was prepared to go to space, society stopped from doing that. is she angry about that? what her reaction? some of the women were angry, as you mentioned, some lost a husband, some lost jobs mentioned, some lost a husband, some lostjobs in order to do the test. not wally. she uses this expression, "i threw the fish". meaning i got on with that. she is a very positive, optimistic woman, and she is determined to get into space, and i'm determined to share her story and make sure we will watch when she does. it is a fascinating story. and the book is cold wally funk‘s race

for space will stop. that's all from us for now. this is bbc news. the headlines at 10am. saudi arabia admits journalist jamal kashogghi was killed in the consulate in istanbul, they claim it happened in a fight. they have been a great ally in the middle east. we need them as a counterbalance to iran. it's not as simplea counterbalance to iran. it's not as simple a solution. two men have been charged with murdering father ian tomlin, who was beaten to death outside his home in south—west london. protestors prepare to march through london demanding another referendum on the uk's membership of the european union also coming up this hour, bepi—colombo blasts off! two satellites developed in europe and japan are on their way to the planet mercury. it's hoped that together they can resolve the puzzles of the mysterious planet closest to the sun. and in half an hour
