this is bbc news. i'm annita mcveigh. the headlines at 6pm. the uk, france and germany issue a joint statement condemning the killing ofjournalist, jamal khashoggi inside the saudi consulate in istanbul — and call for urgent clarification of what happened. the brexit secretary dominic raab says the uk could agree to extend the brexit transition period by about three months, but only if the eu drops its demand for a northern ireland ‘backstop‘. think about it, as important as it is, these are the only outstanding issues that ought to be stumbling blocks. the good news is, on a range of other issues we are close to getting there. russia criticises president trump's decision to pull out of a landmark nuclear weapons treaty — calling it unacceptable and dangerous. ryanair says it will ban unruly passengers from travel in future — after video shows a man racially abusing a black woman on a flight to sta nsted airport. and, prince harry

goes solo in sydney. it comes after kensington palace announced the duke and duchess of sussex are cutting back meghan‘s schedule during their tour of australia. and can lewis hamilton clinch his fifth formula one title tonight in the us grand prix? we'll have full details of that, and the rest of today's sporting action, in sportsday. britain, france and germany have condemned ‘in the strongest possible terms‘ the killing of the saudi journalist, jamal khashoggi. in a statement, they say there's an ‘urgent need for clarification‘ from saudi arabia.

yesterday the saudi government admitted for the first time he did die in its consulate in istanbul — but said it was in a fight. our diplomatic correspondent james robbins reports new pictures have now emerged of jamal khashoggi walking towards the saudi consulate in istanbul, and towards his death. more and more countries are now demanding the truth, the whole truth. the saudi explanation that he died in a fist fight has been all but rejected by many governments. and where is his body? europe‘s three major powers have now come together to condemn the killing in the strongest possible terms. their joint statement says: they continue: the world is waiting for turkey and its president. he is in a position to reveal much more. the world is waiting

for turkey and its president. he is in a position to reveal much more. turkey‘s police and security services are leading the investigation and have already leaked stories of torture and murder by saudi officials. the president has pointed to revelations on tuesday. translation: we are seeking justice, and this incident will be entirely revealed, entirely. why did 15 people come to istanbul? why were 18 people arrested? this must be revealed in detail. will the slowly unfolding story increase suspicions about the role of this man, saudi arabia‘s prince mohammed bin salman? many people think he must have authorised the targeting of his most vocal critic, jamal khashoggi, and will saudi arabia really be punished by other major powers, as a big spender and energy supplier?

most governments are waiting for fuller answers before deciding. our correspondent martin patience is in istanbul. in margin, hello to you. the president says he‘s going to reveal within days come in his words, the naked truth over the death of jamal khashoggi. do you think that there will actually be revelations in the investigation come tuesday? possibly. we simply don‘t know at this stage. what we do know is that turkish intelligence forces as well as the turkish government have lea ked as the turkish government have leaked reports to influential newspapers in this country which have been picked up around the world. if that had not happened than the world perhaps would not have known about this story. turkey is

utterly key to getting to the truth of all of this. they say the police have been investigating this matter for a couple of weeks now and they say it‘s taken them so long because the saudis have been tracking their feet but i think what will be absolutely critical is whether or not turkey releases an alleged audio recording, and an audio recording and appellee details the gruesome final moments of jamal and appellee details the gruesome final moments ofjamal khashoggi, and why that is so important is it com pletely and why that is so important is it completely contradicts saudi arabia‘s version of events that there was a fight that led to his death. turkish officials, unnamed turkish officials say that he was tortured and then murdered. that is not their official position, but that could well change on tuesday. explain for our viewers, why has turkey not released that audio before now? again, it's not clear.

this is such a murky affair and one argument perhaps is to reveal the audio recording you may have to reveal how they gather intelligence. perhaps they don‘t want to do that. i think more realistically turkey once to reach some kind of agreement with saudi arabia and america. it wa nts to with saudi arabia and america. it wants to put pressure on saudi arabia. saudi arabia along with turkey are the two regent powers but also want to cut some kind of diplomatic resolution whereby turkey for example get economic support for ita for example get economic support for it a fledgling economy or turkey would get concessions and syria both of which saudi arabia, america and turkey are all involved. what we‘re seeing is this play out in public but is a lot of maneuvers behind the scenes and it should become clear as to exactly what turkey once come tuesday. and just briefly, the

search for the remainder of jamal khashoggi, turkish investigators we re khashoggi, turkish investigators were searching farmland and forest areas. is that continuing? as far as we know, that is continuing and that has not been released officially. again we are all relying on turkish media reports and that‘s what makes this story so difficult. the investigators believe according to one report that perhaps that body was dumped in a forest not far from the city of istanbul. there are other suggestions of course and perhaps the body was taken back to saudi arabia and perhaps it was disposed of in another fashion. saudi arabia and perhaps it was disposed of in anotherfashion. for friends and critics of the saudi regime they say that that is absolutely critical to the investigation. if you find the body that nobody could well tell a story, and the story that many believe that would tell was that jamal khashoggi was tortured before he died. why is

that important? once again he com pletely that important? once again he completely contradicts saudi arabia‘s version of evidence. completely contradicts saudi arabia's version of evidence. thank you very much. margin in istanbul. the government has suggested that any extension to the brexit transition period should be about three months. the brexit secretary dominic raab also called on conservatives to pull together as a team and hold their nerves. here‘s our political correspondent, chris mason. chanting: what do we want? people's vote! when do we want it? now! a day on from this — hundreds of thousands of marchers demanded another referendum on brexit — today, it‘s back to the political slog of trying to reach a deal with the european union. and a slog accompanied by a noisy soundtrack of grumbles from the conservative backbenchers. so, the brexit secretary pleads... it‘s understandable that there are jitters on all sides of this debate. we need to hold our nerve. the end is in sight in terms of a good deal.

the prize that we want — a good deal with eu. and those jitters go something like this when you stare across the channel. this withdrawal agreement is almost ready, but we still have to fix the question of the irish border. and we have to have a definitive answer, or at least no temporary measures which disappear and we don‘t know what to do after that. the current plan if there‘s a withdrawal agreement with brussels is for a transition period after brexit lasting until the end of 2020. but, the government accepts that might now have to be longer, as it thrashes around for a plan it and the eu can live with to keep the border with ireland open. ministers are suggesting a so—called backstop, where all of the uk stays in a customs arrangement with the eu until the government decides not to. but that, mr raab said, could come after an extension to the transition period of three months or so. it‘s an obvious possible route.

but as long as it‘s short, perhaps a few months, and, secondly, that we know how we get out of it. and obviously it has the solve the backstop issue so that that falls away then as a possibility. if a deal is done with the eu, it‘ll need to be approved by parliament. and given some on her own side don‘t like what‘s being cooked up by the government, the prime minister might need some labour mps to vote for it. but... we‘re not going to accept that this argument that it‘s either my deal or no deal, because on that logic, you would be putting to me that the labour party should back anything that the prime minister brings back. and the slog continues. and it gets noisier by the week. chris mason, bbc news. russia‘s president putin says he wants the united states to explain why it‘s pulling out of a landmark nuclear weapons treaty. the agreement, signed 30 years ago, eliminated short to intermediate range nuclear missiles. president trump has accused moscow

of developing a weapons system that violates the agreement. here‘s our north america correspondent chris buckler — and a warning there is flash photography in his report. this was a moment and an image that let the world know that the cold war was coming to an end. three decades ago, the then american president and soviet leader agreed the intermediate—range nuclear forces treaty that led to hundreds of missiles in both countries being destroyed, but that was a different era. while the nuclear threat isn‘t what it once was, for years, america has been concerned about russia‘s testing and deployment of a cruise missile that it says breaches the treaty. and with concerns that other countries including china aren‘t tied by the accord, donald trump says he‘s had enough. were not going to let them violate a nuclear agreement and go out

and do weapons and we‘re not allowed to. we‘re the ones that have stayed in the agreement, and we‘ve honoured the agreement, but russia has not unfortunately one of the agreement, so we‘re going to terminate the agreement and pull—out. the president has spent the week campaigning ahead of next month‘s crucial congressional elections. he has visited troops, posed with missiles, and now he‘s talking tough about russia. some will say he‘s thinking about domestic concerns as well as international ones, and there some members of his own republican party worried about mr trump undoing the work of one of his presidential predecessors. i think it is a big mistake to flippantly get out of this historic agreement that reagan and gorbachev signed. it was a big part of reagan‘s legacy and we should not get rid of it. the us national security adviser john bolton is visiting moscow where he will meet with russian leaders. they already know what he plans to say. over the last year, president putin

has accused america of bad faith and attempting to destroy the treaty. translation: they are constantly searching for some violations from our side, and are consistently doing it themselves. mikhail gorbachev, who signed the treaty with ronald reagan, today warned that withdrawing from the agreement was a dangerous step backwards and threatens what was once seen as a historic leap forward. ryanair has been criticised forfailing to remove a passenger from a flight after racial abuse of a woman in her 70s. the incident, on a flight from barcelona to stansted on friday, was recorded by a fellow passenger and shared on social media. many people said ryanair should have removed the man from the flight and have threatened to boycott the airline. ryanair said it "will not tolerate unruly behaviour like this". david lawrence who filmed the footage on the flight

from barcelona on friday — spoke to us about what he witnessed. a man came on board and arrived at his seat, and spoken very harshly to a woman that was sitting in the aisle seat. that‘s what caught my attention. very loud and very aggressive, and i turned around and even started to shout at the woman saying get out of the way, you move your feet you should not be sitting here, that sort of thing. next thing i knew, a lady came from the back who was the woman paused my daughter and an argument started. she was telling this man, don‘t speak my mother like that, and then what you saw on the video took place. just a

disgusting exchange of racial slurs. the young man who actually intervened, he was sitting directly behind. he was compelled to step forward and try, but this man felt that no one had the right to sit next to him and no one could tell him what to do. and all of the passengers, they just him what to do. and all of the passengers, theyjust were him what to do. and all of the passengers, they just were frozen. our correspondent, chi chi izundu is following this story and can bring us up to date with the latest. what else is ryanair saying about this incident? they have said there we re this incident? they have said there were no longerfurther, because this incident? they have said there were no longer further, because they have actually turned this incident over to the police. the police say they were made aware of what happened on that flight on friday this morning. they did it take

prejudiced based crime series they wa nt prejudiced based crime series they want all incidents to be reported. they say they‘re working closely with ryanair they say they‘re working closely with rya nair and the they say they‘re working closely with ryanair and the spanish authorities in this investigation. we have been in contact with the department for transport to say that this behaviour on aircraft is com pletely this behaviour on aircraft is completely unacceptable. everyone should be able to enjoy a safe and calm journey and the department for transport was working with airlines and airports to look at what more can be done to deal with disruptive passengers as part of their aviation strategy. and clearly if you look at social media lots of people questioning whether they want to fly with ryanair talking questioning whether they want to fly with rya nair talking about questioning whether they want to fly with ryanair talking about a boycott of the airline and so on. they want more from the airline. no more comment from them on the handling of this. and how the cabin crew handled the situation as well study it up if i was about to take off from barcelona and the rewards boarding. it appears also that the passengers involved in this may have had a

disability and so were put on their flight disability and so were put on their flight first ahead of all other passengers, and then the argument ensued. people on social media are incredibly angry. they do feel that the handling of this by ryanair, the fa ct the handling of this by ryanair, the fact that happened on friday, and essex police were only told this morning, at the fact that happened on friday and the abusive pastor was not removed has become a problem. for social media and ryanair passengers, and there were calls from people to boycott their service or at least try and get them to make it for the stamina with a plan to do. notjust it for the stamina with a plan to do. not just about the it for the stamina with a plan to do. notjust about the situation but just in case it happens again in the future. thank you very much. the headlines on bbc news. the uk, france and germany issue a joint statement condemning the killing ofjournalist, jamal khashoggi inside the saudi consulate in istanbul — and call for urgent clarification of what happened. the brexit secretary dominic raab says the uk could agree to extend the brexit transition period by about three months,

but only if the eu drops its demand for a northern ireland ‘backstop‘. russia criticises president trump‘s decision to pull out of a landmark nuclear weapons treaty — calling it unacceptable and dangerous. the duchess of sussex is cutting back on the number of engagements she‘ll attend during the remainder of the royal tour of australasia. meghan, who is pregnant with the couple‘s first child, was present yesterday as prince harry launched the invictus games for wounded veteran athletes, but the duke will now conduct some royal engagements alone. our correspondent hywel griffith is in sydney. the focus today was meant to be on the first full day of competition at the invictus games, however, inevitably, like a lot of this royal tour, the attention switched back to the royal pregnancy with the announcement that the duchess was cutting back on her engagements. not much more was said. we understand, however,

she is still in good health. certainly she was out and about again later on in the day. she didn‘t go to the cycling. she was out on sydney harbour to watch the sailing competition. she will be travelling with the duke to frazer island tomorrow however we are told she will not be taking part in engagements again. the invictus games have got off to a pretty good start. people here in sydney turning up to see it. there does seem to be support behind the games and once again people turning out to see the royal couple. we have seen so far hundreds, in some places thousands, of people come out to see them. certainly there is a fascination with the young royals here. not necessarily support for the future of the monarchy here in australia. polls repeatedly suggest that a majority of the australian people want this country to become a republic. so even though harry and meghan are very, very popular here they do not necessarily want to see that family continue as the australian head of state. at least 18 people have died after a passenger

train derailed in taiwan. the train had been travelling along a popular coastal route when the accident happened in yilan city. more than a hundred and 50 people were injured. images from the scene show the high—speed express train completely derailed and lying zig—zagged across the railway tracks. hundreds of central american migrants have used rafts and boats to cross the river marking the border between guatemala and mexico, in an attempt to continue theirjourney to the united states. thousands of people were left stranded on the frontier bridge after mexican police stopped them entering the country on friday. aleem maqbool reports. it is a bridge that, for the white house, is now an immigration battlefield. straddling guatemala and mexico, it is currently home to thousands of migrants who have trekked from honduras wanting to get to the us. though they still have

to get through mexico which is not letting them in, president trump has described the convoy as "an assault on the us" and "an onslaught of criminals". "we plead to donald trump," this woman told us, "may god soften his heart so we can enter the us, children are sleeping on the floor and we don‘t know how long we‘ll be here, it‘s not fair." it has been a heartbreaking time for some. we met this man who got split up from his 13—year—old son five days ago and has not seen him since. translation: i am upset and don‘t know what to do. should i continue and hope he arrives or should i turn back? i need him so much. they have all been risking the dangers, desperate for a better life in the states. small numbers of people have been allowed across the border — but for the most part, the mexican gate has remained shut. with living conditions here on the bridge getting more

difficult, we are seeing many trying other means of trying to get to mexico. after a week of threats from washington, central american governments have come to an agreement, to transport people back to their home country for free if they sign up. reluctantly, nearly 600 have already put their names forward. translation: we are sad because we thought we would make it to the us. when you come from poverty, you try to be optimistic but it‘s been difficult. we are returning to suffering. for some americans, the sight of migrants giving up is a welcome one. for others, it‘s an embarrassment that their country, built but some migrants just won‘t take no for an answer. we saw some of the hundreds who have decided to cross into mexico by boat,

determined and desperate enough to continue theirjourney to the usa by any means. aleem maqbool, bbc news, on the guatemala—mexico border. an investigation is under way after a woman died in a suspected gas explosion at a flat in north—west london. a baby was among three people who were rescued from the first floor of the building in harrow during the early hours of this morning. part of the building collapsed after the blast. about a0 people were asked to leave their homes nearby as a precaution. children with life—limiting conditions have been let down by the nhs and local councils across england, according to a new report. a cross party group of mps says as many as one in three clinical commissioning groups do not provide specialist out—of—hours care. the department of health says it remains dedicated to improving patient choice for everyone through their end of life care commitment. an investigation‘s been launched after a ferry hit two yachts while trying to dock at cowes

harbour on the isle of wight. the red funnel operated vessel, with 56 people on board, ran aground at the entrance to the harbour in heavy fog. the coastguard say no one was injured. duncan kennedy reports this was the red falcon, grounded and stranded in cowes harbour. it had just collided with a number of yachts that were moored offshore. a0 passengers were on board the ferry when it struck the boats in thick fog. this yacht was sunk by the 4,000—tonne vessel, but the owner wasn‘t on board. it‘s not known how many other boats were hit. ed anderson was waiting in his car on the ferry at the time of the collision. we felt the boat going to reverse, and there was just a crunch. i presumed that was us. the staff then came round and told all of us that we should go back upstairs and relax for a little while because we were going to be here for a while. the ferry was launched in 1994.

a number of rescue boats searched the waters around it for possible missing people. we found nothing untowards. we‘ve actually now, through cowes harbour, contacted the owners of the yacht that‘s on the bottom, and they are all safe and well. so, we‘re happy that there are no human casualties to the incident this morning. the ferry‘s operator, red funnel, has apologised to passengers for the incident. at the moment, we are obviously conducting a full investigation, and it‘s probably too early to speculate. but what we are doing is commencing a full investigation, and we‘re working with the external authorities to determine exactly what went wrong. this is not the first time the boat has been involved in a collision. last september, the same vessel hit a motorboat in the solent, injuring two people. tonight, the ferry has been back to southampton, ready for a full inspection. duncan kennedy, bbc news, cowes on the isle of wight. blue sky stands behind me this
