you're watching beyond 100 days. the turkish president promised to reveal all on the kashoggi murder. but he didn't deliver. and so we are left with alot of questions. where's the body? is there an audio tape and did the saudi crown prince order the attack? in a rather chilling move, the saudi palace released this photo today, it's jamal khashoggi's son called in to meet mohamed bin salman. and this is that same crown prince being greeted like a rock star at the saudi investment conference which opened today. also on the programme... as the british prime ministerfaces increasing pressure over brexit negotiations, we hear from the longest—serving member of the house of commons on whether an acceptable deal is possible in the coming weeks. and what would you do if you won a staggering one point $6 billion? that's what's up for grabs in the mega millions lottery tonight, the largest jackpot in u.s history. hello and welcome, i'm katty kay in washington

and nuala mcgovern is in london. president erdogan of turkey promised to reveal the naked truth into the investigation of the murder ofjamal kashoggi, he didn't. he gave a couple of new details in a speech to parliament, but stopped short of releasing an alleged audio recording of the murder inside the saudi consulate. whether mr erdogan is deliberatly keeping information back or whether the evidence doesn't exist, we don't know. but there are clearly power plays at work here. turkey has let this story drag out, to the detriment of saudi arabia. mark lowen has this report. jamal khashoggi's last steps into the saudi consulate and towards his death. three weeks on, the search for the truth continues. the turkish president provided the naked truth in his words, in the end no new bombshell, by an accusation of a premeditated act. translation: all information and evidence shows jamal khashoggi was killed in a violent savage murder.

we expect those responsible to be exposed. there's strong evidence if a plant operation not accidental. he called for an independent investigation and tightened the pressure on the alleged hit squad and officials arrested in saudi arabia, many close to the crown prince. translation: there are 18 people, and they must be tried in istanbul, this is my proposal. but the decision is for the saudis to make. he said a saudi reconnaissance team arrived in istanbul on the ist of october, the day before the killing. scouting a site where they think the body might be buried. joined by others who next day, the the consulate in the in the morning, the president saying they removed cctv hard drive before jamal khashoggi turned up. after initial denial, took the saudi government 17 days to admit to his death, claiming first it was

after this fight. the next day, the saudi foreign minister said the journalist was murdered but in what he called a rogue operation, adding that those involved would be punished. even the gruesome leaks of what happened here, sedatives, strangling, dismemberment if president who does not shy away from confrontation was surprisingly restrained today. i'm told that he wanted to show the system not against saudi arabia to urge the king to act without targeting them, and to warn there will be more dirt if riyadh stays silent. in the saudi capital today, they put on a brave face opening a boutique investment conference, but many multinationals are politicians are boycotting it in the opening speaker could not avoid the elephant in the room. the terrible acts reported in recent weeks are alien to our culture and our dna. and this in the us to change tack is harder. the treasury secretary pulled out of the conference, but still not the crown prince,

the saudis praising the strategic partnership. this was a far harder meeting, jamal khashoggi's sign with a man widely accused of ordering his murder. beyond that geopolitics, the regional relations turned upside down, it comes down to this, a father killed and a family torn apart. there is something chilling about that border —— photograph. rob malley is a former middle east director for the obama administration, and now heads of the international crisis group here in washington. he joins us live now from brussels. thanks forjoining us, do you think that having got away with so much, the war in yemen, the kidnapping of the war in yemen, the kidnapping of the lebanese prime minister, this audis were taken by surprise that fa ct audis were taken by surprise that fact that it killing of it journalist is causing all this

indignation? it appears that way and all reports suggest they have been quite surprised by the intensity of the reaction, that other steps they have ta ken the reaction, that other steps they have taken or asked the committee did not posit, again one could wonder why they were surprised but that they could also distemper them it's one person one journalist, why would cause international prices that it appears to have created at this point. when you look at where you are now in the story, do you think the conclusion is that the crown prince stays where he is and the royal household has effectively managed to write it out? i'm not going to speculate about internal saudi politics but i do think the ci’owi‘i saudi politics but i do think the crown prince would get him into trouble, is what is also getting them where he is, and in otherwords its determination sometimes rootlessness, recklessness, which has been part of how he ascended to

power and been so effective at neutralising his opponents, it is also the source of the kinds of steps he's taking over time that i've also got him into trouble whether it yemen, or kidnapping or whatever word wants to use of the lebanese prime minister. 0r whatever word wants to use of the lebanese prime minister. orthe crisis with cutter. i don't suspect it's going to be a rupture in the relations, much to share with the united states in terms of perceived condiment interest, but i think the relationship is going to suffer, and just listening to the views of members of congress, this is not something people are going to forget easily, if only because jamal khashoggi work for the washington post and the media is not quick to allow anyone to forget what happened to him. one other player of course,

and a story that has been unfolding is turkey and we are expecting strong words from the president of turkey, some expected this crown prince to be singled out and he wasn't in fact the king was praise, how do you understand that speech or addressed by the turkish president it what you think it talks about about the future of the relationship between them? it was a smart address did not live up to the build, but still smart, what appears is what he is trying to do is keep the pressure oi'i is trying to do is keep the pressure on saudi arabia and the speech did that, all eyes are still on saudi arabia and the culpability in the fa ct arabia and the culpability in the fact that they have yet to come clean, a what happened. but he does not want to break with saudi arabia said he wants to pressure them but does not want to antagonize them too much, and he is trying to do that by the drip drip of leaks is taking place and that turkish press, but also the accusation is quite clear, i'io also the accusation is quite clear, no doubt that what you would think he was accusing a premeditated

murder, but trying to spare them to putting out all the evidence and trying to spare the king himself he makes a big statement in his speech he makes it clear that he trusts the king what he may not have confidence m, king what he may not have confidence in, so it was in a speech used by someone in, so it was in a speech used by someone is bouncing interest, does i wa nt someone is bouncing interest, does i want to break with them but wants to pressure them because they had a tense relationship or sometime and they're on opposite sides of the numberof they're on opposite sides of the number of issues, and he also wants to improve his relationship with the united states. thank you forjoining us. if the saudis are feeling under pressure because of this murder, they aren't showing. at the opening of a now controversial investment conference in riyadh, the saudi crown prince wasjubilant. mohamed bin salman told the bbc the conference is going great. more people, more money, he said. more than two dozen high profile speakers and several international companies have pulled out of the gathering, in protest at the killing. that includes us treasury secretary steve mnuchin. he has cancelled his appearance at the conference but he is still in riyadh meeting saudi officials.

tim willcox spoke to me from riyadh in the last hour. you were there when he arrived at the conference, described the reaction that he got? he was surrounded by a throng of people, not only by saudis but also by europeans westerners chinese russians everyone, who wanted pictures with them and to touch him and shake his hand, some people thought he would not turn up because of the speech by the turkish president, but ends back —— in fact we understand he did not come that because he was meeting the sun and brother of the jamal khashoggi, this co nfe re nce brother of the jamal khashoggi, this conference basically is his baby, this is something you started last year, something he thinks is the answer to saudi arabia's future and is 2030 vision, the ways that of getting richer and weaning itself

off oil, but it needs investment, he's talking about a dubai lake city, with artificial intelligence a robot. as far as the people here concerned, money talks and it's the pragmatism of business, meeting lots of people came today and did not boycott it like those business leaders and politicians. so, tim is there appealing in riyadh that the crown prince and the family have survived the crisis? a who you doctor, lots of business today, ceos boycotted the junior members came. when you talked his audis, it's very different, they say look, it's peers, we do understand how this could've but nobody, is pointing a finger at could've but nobody, is pointing a fingerata memberof could've but nobody, is pointing a finger at a member of the royal family. other nationals outside the kingdom do, and saved this is tarnishing the reputation of the country, in fact when the conference

started today it was addressed head on, the energy minister is giving a session and the moderator and the energy minister said that this is a crisis for the country and saudi arabia does not do things like that, i think arabia does not do things like that, ithinka arabia does not do things like that, i think a lot of people in saudi arabia are hoping that saudi arabia does not do things like they're accused dead even though they're so much evidence suggesting they did. accused dead even though they're so much evidence suggesting they did! it's interesting watching the reactions they got there today, because it's been so much focus on the conference and the people pulling out and let's focus on comedy people actually have gone, the fact that there was standing room only in some of the meetings of the conference shows how much people need to do is saudi arabia. and it's only 33—year—old, he's potentially going to be the leader of 33 years old for decades to come and alienating him pressed belly could come at a very high price for people who want investment in saudi arabia.

i feel it seems to have moved because a few days ago, would seem to be the trajectory or what people we re to be the trajectory or what people were asking for, was for the crown prince to be ostracized somehow and for the king to appoint or anoint another person to take over the running, but that definitely does not seem to be happening today, the turkish president not singling them out as well, but instead kind of hedging and exactly what he might say when it comes to the saudi arabian even though you pulled out of the conference. i think it would bea of the conference. i think it would be a different story if he had, for example if these recordings are out there, given that much tougher presentation maybe we would have a different line today i what's been happening, but at the moment you're right this instant shifted a bit. american politics now. us vice president mike pence today backed up the claim that middle easterners are part of a caravan of migrants making their way through central america to the us mexican border.

president trump first made the claim last night at a rally in texas, but it's widely disputed and neither mr pence nor mr trump produced evidence for the assertion. by the way, our bbc correspondent, travelling with the caravan, says he has not seen anyone of middle eastern descent in the crowd. here's what mr trump's had to say last night in texas. people are seeing how bad it is, how pathetic it is, how bad our laws are and they made a big mistake. so as the caravan, and look, that is an assault on our country. that's an assault. you know, they have a word it sort of became old—fashioned, it's called a nationalist. and i say, really, we're not supposed to use that word but you know what i am? i'm a nationalist, ok? and joining us now is kayleigh mcenany, spokeswoman for the republican national committee. thank you for coming to join us, the president loves doing these rallies. they haven't been

carried live on national television to last night, is there a risk he's over saturating the market?” to last night, is there a risk he's over saturating the market? i don't think so because this serves a very specific purpose, it's not necessarily getting on the national airwaves which often it does, but it's mobilising a third of the rally goers who are trump voters but not necessarily republican voters, so for him, his mission is to take that cohort mobilise them to the polls as a vote for your republican nominee asa a vote for your republican nominee as a vote for me that's a specific purpose and that's when he is achieving. the press today pointed out that in the past two days he said things they don't stack up, you promised there could be a tax cut within the next week congress is not in session, the prodigy, and he claimed there a middle easterners in a caravan of migrants even fox news saying there's no evidence for that report on the ground saying they see no evidence for that, does it concern you when the president says things like this that are not backed

up things like this that are not backed up by things like this that are not backed up by facts on the ground?” things like this that are not backed up by facts on the ground? i don't think it concisely because look at to get one by one about the tax cut plan it's been in the works for time, and steve came out and said it he meant produce a plan, and the next two weeks and ultimately passe, so next two weeks and ultimately passe, so that's what he said and the president is on board at with regard to their being middle easterners in a caravan, the president is privy to confidential and permit —— information does not mean it's not the truth because it's not in the public domain. let's turn to ted cruz. our global viewers will rememberjust how cruz. our global viewers will remember just how vitriolic cruz. our global viewers will rememberjust how vitriolic it cruz. our global viewers will remember just how vitriolic it was between the two of them, lying ted was a moniker he got from the president, could people take it seriously that he thinks he's the best candidate now in this race? oh, no doubt because that's how american politics worse acts he recall, hillary clinton had not so great words for barack obama and vice ve rsa words for barack obama and vice versa but nevertheless they were on board campaigning for one another, so board campaigning for one another, so it's the way american politics is, in the end of today they're on the same team which is the team of

conservative voters and republican party for them to rally together, i don't find that odd at all, it's just how american politics works.|j think some of our viewers might find it harder when it —— hard when they remember the debates but let me come to that word, nationalist that he decided to use, why do you think he used that in that context? because his policies foreign—policy it's aptly described as america first which some would describe as nationalist meeting inward looking and pursuing trade you for america's, renegotiating all the trade policies, if the inward looking one which exhibits strength of the word a world stage, and that's what the president is doing by using that word. is in their difference between nationalism and patriotism do you see a difference? absolutely, patriotism is pride for your country standing for the flag, but never that enough, but

nationalism is the policy outlook project during adventurism not meddling in the countries other affairs, but in prior to you... would you rather he used to treat the nationalist? i have no problem with that i think eight both described the trump agenda. interesting, you're right it's got lots of attention between those two words, that i remember listening to the president inaugural address, he very clearly laid out america first, andi very clearly laid out america first, and i think it's a term he would have used to describe himself all the way through his presidency, he just chose to use in public for the first time last night. it comes at an interesting time, people found that speech very dark, but also the fa ct that speech very dark, but also the fact that the issues we talked about up fact that the issues we talked about up until now have been foreign—policy issues, when it comes to saudi arabia and others, interesting that the same time and i believe jamal khashoggi was not mentioned at that rally last night in texas. british politics now.

theresa may will face her internal party critics on wednesday as she battles to keep her brexit plans on track. the uk prime minister will attend a meeting of the influential conservative backbench 1922 committee in parliamentjust days after one anonymous opponent suggested she should "bring her own noose" to the gathering. confirmation of her attendance came amid reports that the number of conservative mps submitting letters calling for mrs may's removal was approaching the 48 needed to trigger a no—confidence vote in her leadership. earlier today, i sat down with kenneth clarke a longstanding conservative mp, who has campaiagned against brexit. as the longest serviing mp mr clarke is known as the "father of the house". i asked him what he was hearing ahead of that crucial meeting? ikeep i keep hearing all the usual nonsense , i keep hearing all the usual nonsense, i think it's actually a slight development to the big district issues to be determined, if they have 40 letters would have belonged to go to one reason they

haven't put them in, possibly only got them, as they would not be able to use them, to help her, if they put in his letters, i think the parliamentary party would support her with a comfortable majority and she would have her authority restored, it's a way of trying to bully her. some of the language is really interesting you're using, it may be a way to bully her also you feel they would not manage to be successful with a no—confidence vote, because there has been this discussion over the past few days, from your party's talking about attitude, and language used against her, from anonymous sources i will say, but in some of the papers over the weekend, that was talking about killing time, a news, a knife, being stuck into her, people have condemned that language, but i'm curious to hear your take on how you feel she is being treated and the support she does or does not have? the extreme right in politics is

very nasty, and i'm afraid the hard right of my party includes one or two nasty individuals but so far we have not been and who they are yet, because they made silly remarks anonymously. do you think she can bring back a deal, that would be agreed upon by this parliament? that's the key cat —— question. i sometimes they do other people that's the key question to keep in mind, the house of commons has to approve the agreement before it can be ratified. just like every other parliamentary one will be approved, we say we amended national agreement but on my side of the pro european argument because the amendments we like to carry it will be ones that the other eu members would have wanted to give us in the first place. a there are lots of if there. anyone who tells you they know

what's going to happen in the politics is deceiving themselves, i've never seen such madness, it's quite unpredictable week to week. let's talk about the man is, i was reading that you said you have not seen reading that you said you have not seen anything as matter chaotic at this time. what did you mean by that. all the normal connections of politics is called in the referendums are designed to we parliament out of the weight of decisions that's what they're used for, mussolini use that and he was brilliant at it and this parliament has been neutered majority thinks we should be members of the eu, but all parties were defeated in the referendum by a mass angry protest leave a vote. both parties hopes are shattered, both parties notjust split into. there has been little to factions and the cabinet can't generally —— agree with each other ina generally —— agree with each other in a policy because visible range of opinions, the shadow cabinet cannot agree on a policy, full range of

opinion is there, and across the house of commons, therefore, very difficult to get parliament to assert itself. it's going to have to win finally to reason may comes back with the draft agreement i think it's all to play for, not only to minimise the damage from the brexit getting it right, or stop the possibly. really, i have to stop you there, stop the brexit?” possibly. really, i have to stop you there, stop the brexit? i don't think saddam not working on that basis i'm minimising the damage, we have this crazy deadlock, opinion might change. what would implication be if in fact it were a no go brexit? no sensible sane person of either side of the channel, who wants no deal, nine out of ten, even the noisy brexiteers empowerment, don't actually want to know do brexit. a monumental car crash by

accident, that's increasing if people keep striking up such silly attitudes to try and influence things, and delaying progress. towards a reasonable withdrawal agreement and a long transition period once we get down to settling all the details, which is in the real world, i think all grown—up politicians are left and right would agree it's what we ought to do. kenneth clark speaking to us from west minster, now money. how do you fancy being richer than tiger woods or madonna, but with none of the hard work? that sounds so good. that could well be the case for one lucky winner in the us after tonight's mega millions draw. it's really cool. anyone who matches all six numbers to win the jackpot can get an immediate cash payment of $904 million. here's the tricky bit, the odds of winning are one in 303 million. this means you are, statistically, way more likely to get killed

by a shark in your lifetime, those odds are only one in 3.7 million, but hey, who's counting? can you come are people going out and talking about it are their queues at the bodegas? are they, yes they are. this is actually the bbc office pool number of tickets, i stupidly for some reason didn't realise it was happening or a bank soi realise it was happening or a bank so i did not take part but i will tell you what i will do a put them in my pocket and hold the ransom. and then i'm going to kidnap these tickets, unfortunately the producers listening right now but if she weren't listening, i would tell her i'm taking them in my back pocket hold them as ransom and then at the bbc office winds i'll only turn them over if i get a cut that seems fair enough. i think there's still time,

i would want my name i wanted those you have a whole deck is that you have won number —— $1 billion. let's see if we are back here tomorrow. so much money, we could split between a few we will see. this is beyond 100 days from the bbc. coming up for viewers on the bbc news channel and bbc world news, president trump wants to meet vladimir putin in paris next month, says national security adviser john bolton during a trip to moscow. and the eu rejects italy's budget plans, giving it three weeks to come up with a new draft. that's still to come. on beyond 100 days on the bbc. good evening, once again there's

been decent autumn sunshine for southern and eastern counties of the uk. this is a picture and norfolk just this afternoon. also quite a breezy story across the board, and further northern you the greater chances of being stuck under grey clouds. all of that being because we have a weather front, the northwest of us, that's been beating marcotte luiten rain particularly in north west of scotland, that tends to lose rain as we go further into the evening overnight tonight, still quite a bit of cloud seeding into northern england on the old northwest breeze across northern ireland, idid northwest breeze across northern ireland, i did too much of scotland as well. the cloud and breathe still keeping these mild, and to the south, you and chris bell's more breeze tonight meeting milder story for us wednesday. still a chance of midst as the day gets under way.

wednesday once again high—pressure very much dominating force in our weather, still a chance of patchy rain poured northern isles and high lives, but scotland on a whole dry day, hazy sunshine some high cloud again pushing in the northwest breeze, but the strong wind is what we will see on tuesday. temperatures average for this time of your 15—16d feeling pleasant with sunshine and light wind. for thursday, slightly cooler deal to proceedings, we change they are massive little to temperatures are 13 or 14, but the big change and the way things feel calm behind the cold weather friend here so after a fine day for much of the uk, heavy rain get into this west of scotland later in the day, cold front pushes south, not paying too much in the way of rain as it does so, the biggest difference it'll bring about is introducing cold air, straight from the arctic, so we have been in the warm atlantic

air mass, recently, we are going to have a good polar last to finish the weekend to take us through the weekend, not as cold air noticed the arrows coming from the north biting northerly winds as well, so feeling the chill with many seeing double digit figures in the week and it'll feel colder with the wind. this is beyond one hundred days with me katty kay in washington, nuala mcgovern is in london. our top stories. the turkish president says jamal khashoggi's killing was planned days in advance — it comes as the saudi king and crown prince meet thejournalist‘s son in riyadh. us national security adviser john bolton talks business with president putin during his trip to moscow. a key nuclear weapons treaty with russia is top of the agenda. coming up in the next half hour. the eu rejects italy's budget plans — putting rome and brussels on a collision course. it's a highly unususal move. plus — how has donald trump impacted your life?

that's the question we've been asking voters ahead of the mid—terms — their answers tell you a lot. john bolton, president trump's national security advisor, is famously hawkish. and in an administration that's been reluctant to criticise vladimir putin, mr bolton is noticeably tough on russia. now he's in moscow explaining why the us plans to pull out of a reagan era arms control treaty. mr bolton dismissed russia's warning that scrapping the pact would make the world a more dangerous place. he added that the treaty was out of date because key international players aren't part of it. we have been discussing with all of the russian officials i met with why the president made his decision. and had a very interesting conversation just now with the defence minister

about how outdated the inf treaty is. and overall had a very productive conversation with the defence minister. it was scheduled for about an hour, it lasted for an hour and a half. you do not feel this is a dangerous step, a return to the old arms race of the cold war? no, i think that rhetoric is over heated. i was here almost exactly 17 years ago to withdraw from the abm treaty. we heard a lot of the same rhetoric. we withdrew from the abm treaty. and we are more secure country today then we were then. and is this rhetoric or is this actually going to happen, is this something that will...? i think the president could not have been clearer. notjust on saturday, but yesterday, as to what his decision is. and what response have you had so far from the russians? well, we have been discussing and i think as i said, the defence minister is aware of the larger global context. that this is a bilateral treaty from cold war days.

technologies change, geostrategic reality has changed. and we both have to deal with it. the russians have said this will make the world a more dangerous place. do you agree with that? no, i think this recognises the change reality and i think given russian violations of the treaty as well, you cannot rely on theology, you have to rely on the facts on the ground. sarah raynsford there. with me now is the bbc‘s state department correspondent barbara plett usher. the russians clearly have a different take on this. does this usherin different take on this. does this usher in the potential of the new arms race? there is concern that it would, russians had said they would feel compelled to respond if the treaty was to be scrapped and that presumably would mean more missiles deployed in europe which is what

this treaty is about. arms specialists have also said this would open up the missile race europe. but mr bolton was dismissive about and said russians are the ones in violation, they are cheating and this treaty is not being adhered to anyway. so that is not an issue. he also said about overheated rhetoric. he was in the bush administration when mr bush scrapped the antiballistic missile treaty and at that time mr bolton was a key figure and he said the earth did not fall apart then and is not going to fall apart then and is not going to fall apart now. john bolton said he recognised russian meddling in the us elections and he said that the election did not turn out so well for the russians and that shows you should not mess in american elections. is there a difference in tone betweenjohn bolton and president trump when it comes to this issue of election meddling? mr trump has been hesitant to speak

openly about russian election meddling and when he talks about it he tends to say, and others, as well. mr bolton did not hold back at all on that but he also said it had not been effective and did not change the outcome of the election. and the result of it had been somewhat against the russian interests and created this mistrust so they have not made any diplomatic achievements over the past two yea rs. achievements over the past two years. i wondered if this might be seen as president trump standing up to russia, he talks about these violations for example. perhaps it makes russia feel that they're not com pletely makes russia feel that they're not completely sure where they stand when it comes to the us president? yes, i think what mr putin said, that russia was surprised by the unexpected steps ta ken that russia was surprised by the unexpected steps taken by this administration from time to time so it might be that this decision by the president has the effect of

keeping the russians on their toes especially when accompanied by a statement from mr trump saying we will expand our nuclear arsenal until the other nations come to their senses which sounds like a challenge for top so that could be the case but certainly it has a lot of expert as well as politicians worried about the outcome of this. and with the experts, they call it outdated, many people saying that or is that just coming outdated, many people saying that or is thatjust coming from the administration? first of all the obama administration was the first to call out russia on cheating on this treaty. the europeans did not wa nt this treaty. the europeans did not want him to withdraw from that treaty so he did not. in terms of the outdated geostrategic context as mr bolton was it, he said that this was a cold war treaty between two countries with regards to missiles and nowadays many other countries are making missiles that are not constrained by that including china

and north korea. that was his take and north korea. that was his take andi and north korea. that was his take and i think that is true but then there are other calculations by nuclear experts who feel that even so that's grabbing this treaty is a bad move in terms of the arms race. thank you very much. and as we said, john bolton does not do many interviews but when he does he's happy to answer questions. and another piece of news coming from that meeting, president putin and president trump will meet again in paris on november the 11th round the armistice day celebrations. they will have another meeting, they had that last meeting in helsinki so we will be watching that. mexico has issued an alert for parts of its pacific seaboard as it prepares for hurricane willa. willa is expected to reach land on mexico's west—central coast later today. forecasters say it is "potentially catastrophic". the storm, currently

a category three out of five, threatens to bring torrential rains and majorflooding. the world's longest sea bridge opens in china — made of 400,000 tonnes of steel, enough to build 60 eiffel towers. the multi—billion pound bridge and tunnel project spans 34 miles, and connects hong kong, macau and mainland china. but the construction has been dogged by safety concerns, and fears about its environmental impact. british archaeologists have found, what they believe to be, the world's oldest intact shipwreck at the bottom of the black sea. it appears to have been there for an incredible 2,400 years. scientists used a remote—controlled submarine to locate the 75—foot vessel, found lying on its side about 50 miles off the coast of bulgaria. the duke and duchess of sussex have arrived in fiji to begin the second leg of their four—country tour of the south pacific. they'll spend three days visiting the islands. prince harry drank a bowl of kava, fiji's

national drink, as part of the traditional welcoming ceremony. so traditional, in fact, it mirrored almost exactly the ceremony given to the queen and prince phillip when they arrived on the islands for an historic first visit, 65 years ago. the former supreme courtjustice, sandra day o'connor, has announced she is withdrawing from public life after being diagnosed with dementia. in a letter released today, the 88—year—old said she had been diagnosed with early—stage dementia. justice o'connor was the first woman to be appointed to the us top court, and was a key swing vote. she retired in 2006. i had the pleasure of interviewing her around the time that barack obama was elect did. supreme court justices to not get involved in politics but she says she was impressed with the way the country handled the election. very sad to think of her getting the manager.

but also impressive the fact that she sent out this letter and is speaking about it publicly. it helps ta ke speaking about it publicly. it helps take away some of the stigma. speaking about it publicly. it helps take away some of the stigmam speaking about it publicly. it helps take away some of the stigma. it is very poignant. when she started she talked about in her book being a cowgirl and then rising to the echelons of power. sometimes when it came to bush against gore, many people asked about that and whether she regretted that decision when it came to mr bush taking office. she was a swing vote but also a conservative and that was the key decision for her. we talk a lot about brexit on this programme but european officials are just as worried, if not more so, about italy. for evidence look no further than the european commission rejecting italy's budget — the first time the commission has ever done so. italy's populist government has been asked to go back to work and come up with a new budget in three weeks. the commission has raised concerns over italy's plan to increase spending on welfare,

pensions and public investment — which could make the country's already high public debt skyrocket. but the italian government seems determined to go on with these spending plans. for more on this, angela giuffrida joins us now — she is the rome correspondent for the guardian. talk to us a bit about this. i was struck by this lack of respect that some italian leaders said that the eu had towards their budget. the reaction today from the italian government was as did. this is quite a scene that we have seen since the coalition government came to power. we had two parties in government, won the far right party and the other the anti—establishment five

star movement. there has been a co nsta nt star movement. there has been a constant lack of respect for experts, the economy minister was aiming fora more experts, the economy minister was aiming for a more conservative 1.9% deficit target and these two young readers put pressure on him to go higher because their main aim is to fulfil promises made during the election campaign. but cannot actually be done? it is looking unlikely because they will need around 70 billion euros in order to fund these promises which include a universal basic income, a flat tax and also pension reforms. i think the danger is, what the eu see it,

is higher spending increasing the debt. even though they said there would be structural reforms and other investments done at the same time to boost growth, the projections for economic growth for the next year or so are very low. the eu is worried about italy and about its finances and about its attitude to europe and particularly under this government but i am assuming that a move like this from brussels saying we're not going to accept this budget, is not going to increase sentiment in favour of the eu in italy. is this a bit of an own goal on the part of the eu? exactly and matteo salvini, with his reaction today, the first thing he said is this is the kind of thing that irritates italian people. it

comes at a time when there is a kind of dwindling popularity for the eu. and the other deputy prime minister said we will not give in, or there will be a return of pro—austerity lawyers and banks. in fact there was a survey done on sunday showing that 59% of italians support the budget. sol 59% of italians support the budget. so i think it is very delicate in terms of how the eu handles this now especially with the european elections looming. and i suppose there will need to be possibly compromise at some stage. they already have several other battles happening with italy right now including immigration. and it looks likely that russian sanctions will be another looming battle. so indeed it isa be another looming battle. so indeed it is a very delicate matter, especially with the popularity of

matteo salvini, across italy. it is a very delicate time for the relationship between eu and italy. thank you very much forjoining us. this is beyond one hundred days. still to come — we've been asking us voters how president trump has impacted their lives since taking office — as the country prepares for midterm elections. uk high streets have the highest concentration of fast food outlets in almost a decade. research suggests people most exposed to them are nearly twice as likely to be obese. the sharp rise comes at a time when doctors are warning that the costs of obesity could bankrupt the nhs. the uk also has one of the highest proportions of overweight and obese children in the european union. the rate of severe obesity among year 6 children, aged 10 to 11, is up by more than a third

since 2006, to 4.2 percent, according to public health england. david rhodes reports. it is the food that is fast, convenient and an everyday part of some people's lives. i really hated how i looked. it is not normal to be 30 stone. at the age ofjust 16, joe from rotherham was morbidly obese. you are seeing more takeaways then you are actually seeing corner shops. i think they should definitely limit the number of fast—food places massively, because it is just taking over. it is part of everyday life. analysis of official figures by the bbc has found that in 2010 there were just over 29,000 fast—food businesses in the uk. this year that number has reached over 39,000, an increase of over a third in the space of eight years. obesity is the biggest challenge facing the nhs. obesity has been linked with fast—food and we have had projections that suggest that by 2050, which is only

one generation away, that direct and indirect costs of obesity will cost nearly £50 billion and that is enough to bankrupt the nhs. the government and devolved administrations across the uk have all set out plans to reduce obesity levels, whilst in england, ministers say local councils can control the number and location of takeaways, but on current trends, the number of these food businesses is set to rise as the battle to control bulging waistlines looks likely to become harder. david rhodes, bbc news, rotherham. with just two weeks to go until the miderm elections the bbc is launching its ask america project. we've travelled to a dozen states asking ordinary voters their opinions on a range of topics. today we start with the question of how has donald trump impacted their lives since taking office. as you'll see — the answers vary widely. it's about trump, right?

in what way has donald trump... impacted your life? oh, lordjesus, help me, holy ghost. wow! i'm seeing more enthusiasm, i'm seeing more employers say we've got all these greatjobs coming... can i go run and hide somewhere? jobs seem to be good now. these are hard! i wish i didn't vote for him. i would vote for him in a heartbeat in 2020. donald trump has impacted on my life. he sure did make it a lot better. i think i spend too much time watching the news! he tried to bring his whole family in. he tried to make it a country club. he fights for us,

he is a streetfighter. it has made it easier for me to roll my eyes, be offended. he has made my blood pressure go up. my accountants are pretty happy at the corporate tax rate now. my respect for my fellow americans goes down. i'lljust keep it very brief. i do not like him. he has impacted my life by raising the level of discussion between myself and my sons, politically. i have to be very quiet when i go home to visit my family. they are very large trump supporters. you just want to go beat your head against the wall. who tend to be a bit more... let's just say progressive. i think someone like donald trump has been instigating a lot more violence, a lot more hate. hatred is going on, it's like with sarah huckabee sanders getting asked to leave the restaurant. i was born and raised in west virginia, but sometimes i get questioned about where i'm from. he was elected by the american people to be the

american president. not to be the global president, but to be the american president. so we are good on that. i lived hearing those voices and the midterms arejust i lived hearing those voices and the midterms are just around the corner and also thanksgiving dinner a few weeks after that so a lot of that is people talking about how different their politics might need to those of theirfamilies. their politics might need to those of their families. it has divided families a bit like brexit in the uk. ican families a bit like brexit in the uk. i can see parallels in the way that this is such a heated conversation and you get family members as we heard not talking to each other about whether they support donald trump or not. and people feel incredibly passionate on both sides of this. i think we will

see some of that play out in the mid—term elections, it is going to bea mid—term elections, it is going to be a referendum on donald trump. we will find out. that is in two weeks' time and we have a special programme here on the bbc. that diversity in america came across in that. earlier we told you about the huge megamillions lottery draw happening in the us tonight, but here in the uk, there's a lottery that ticket holders have a much higher chance of winning. when the owners of a book shop in the town of cardigan, in west wales, decided they wanted to retire from the much loved business they'd started years earlier, they chose a novel way to pass it on. they offered it in a raffle to their customers. the lucky winners will take over in the next few weeks, and as sian lloyd has been finding out, the story of bookends has become quite a tale. in a quiet corner of cardigan, bookends has become a familiar spot for browsers over the years, but husband and wife, paul and leila morris decided it was time to say goodbye to the business they have started from scratch to pursue some

of their other life dreams. we really love the shop, you know, we have lovely people that come in here and a really nice customer base, it is part of the community, we don't actually want to close the shop. but we also want to go off and do other things. rather than placing the business on the market, they came up with a novel idea for passing it on. if somebody was interested, they would buy £20 worth of books and be given the opportunity to go into the hat, with a view of possibly winning the business and it would be great to see the shop move forward. it is a legacy and we think we have got the right people taking it on. the winner of this unusual prize was dutchman ceisjan van heerden who had become a regular customer after moving to west wales a year ago. svaen bjorn from iceland willjoin him in running bookends in a twist worthy of a novel, as the pair had never met before, although they had been virtual friends, through gaming on the internet. there was an easy connection, basically. even if that was just online, right?

i think it has continued, we probably metjust a day ago. i think we will be all right. i could not really believe it at first, because it has all been very surreal. so, i have beenjust... it has not been as real for me as it has been for him. putting names in a hat was certainly an unusual way to seal bookends' future. the next chapter in its story looks set to be another page turner. sian lloyd, bbc news, cardigan. a lot of puns in that story! for many people — a television setjust wasn't complete without a trusty dvd player below it. they first landed on british high streets 20 years ago —

but in a clear sign of how things have moved on — a major retailer says they'll no longer be stocking them. yes — john lewis has released details of products that don't sell much anymore. dvd player sales are down 40%. also on the list is a trouser press — who knew they were still being sold? followed by small tvs and alarm clocks. so what's on the up? robotic lawnmowers, apparently, which have seen a 75 per cent growth in sales, followed closely by thongs, up 72 per cent — no comment there — then a style classic — white trainers. and finally, rainbow emblems. a lot of those you would expect but one thing i thought was going to be

out was speakers. we had a piece the other day on smart speakers and i do not think we buy speakers any more. it is all smart speakers. mine is the alarm clock because i went to buy one in that major retailer, and i could not find one. i went up and had a look around but did not want neon lights, i want to stop relying on the phone to wake me up and i have to say i came away empty—handed. have to say i came away empty-handed. i bought my alarm clock years ago. i get this thing with my kids when i mention anything they look at me as if i am a dinosaur. really, really old, whatever it is i'm thinking of buying. if i suggested i was going to buy an alarm clock i think she would just roll their eyes. they are going to come back, it will be cool again, i promise you. like vinyl,

you see, that came back recently. we we re you see, that came back recently. we were cool once! coming up next on bbc world news, kasia madeira with outside source and for viewers in the uk, we'll have the latest headlines from shaun ley. for now, from katty kay in washington and me nuala mcgovern in london, goodbye. good evening, once again there's been decent autumn sunshine for southern and eastern counties of the uk. this was norfolk just this afternoon. also quite a breezy story across the board, and further north the greater chances of being stuck under grey clouds. all of that being because we have a weather front, to the northwest of us, that's been feeding rain particularly in north west

of scotland, that tends to lose rain as we go further into the evening overnight tonight, still quite a bit of cloud feeding into northern england on the northwest breeze across northern ireland, much of scotland as well. still a chance of mist as the day gets under way. wednesday once again high—pressure very much dominating in our weather, still a chance of patchy rain for the northern isles but scotland on a whole dry day, hazy sunshine some high cloud again pushing in the northwest breeze, not the strong wind we had on tuesday. temperatures average for this time of your 15—16d feeling pleasant with sunshine and light wind. for thursday, slightly cooler

feel to proceedings, but the big change and the way things feel come behind the cold weather front here so after a fine day for much of the uk, heavy rain gets into west of scotland later in the day, cold front pushes south, not paying too much in the way of rain as it does so, the biggest difference it'll bring about is introducing cold air, straight from the arctic, so we have been in the warm atlantic air mass, recently, we are going to have a good polar last to finish the weekend to take us through the weekend. so feeling the chill with many seeing double digit figures in the week and it'll feel colder with the wind. this is bbc news. the headlines at 8:00. the saudi royal family meet relatives of murdered journalist jamal khashoggi. turkey's president says the killing
