the turkish president has demanded that 18 men arrested in saudi arabia in connection with the murder of the journalist, jamal khashoggi, be put on trial in turkey. president erdogan also said the saudis must reveal the whereabouts of mr khashoggi's body, and who ordered what he described as a "savage, premeditated" killing. the crown prince of saudi arabia, mohammed bin salman, who is suspected by many of ordering the killing ofjamal khashoggi at the saudi consulate in istanbul, has today met the journalist's son. mark lowen, who's in istanbul, says events surrounding his disappearance are still no clearer. i think they raise more questions than answers, "where is the body," president erdogan asked today. who ordered the saudi hit squad?

the turkish leader clearly increased the pressure on riyadh today but stopped short of directly pointing the finger. but as new information comes to light tonight including some reports that jamal khashoggi's belongings may have been found in an abandoned saudi consulate car, the net is clearly closing in on riyadh. jamal khashoggi's last steps into the saudi consulate and towards his death. three weeks on, the search for the truth continues. president erdogan vowed to provide it — "the naked truth" in his words. in the end, no new bombshell but 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. we have strong evidence that it was a planned operation, not an accidental death. he called for an independent investigation and tightened pressure on the alleged hit squad and officials arrested

in saudi arabia, many close to the crown prince. translation: there are 18 people who must be tried in istanbul. here's my proposal. applause. cheering. but the decision is for the saudis to make. mr erdogan said a saudi reconnaissance team arrived in istanbul on the first of october, a day before the killing, scouting a site where it's thought the body may not be buried. —— may now be buried. joined by other saudis the next day, they met at the consulate in the morning. president erdogan saying they removed cctv hard drives before jamal khashoggi turned up. after initial denial, it took the saudi government 17 days to admit mr khashoggi had died, claiming first it was after a fistfight. the next day, the saudi foreign minister said the journalist was murdered but in what he called a rogue operation adding those involved would be punished. given the gruesome leaks of what happened here,

sedatives, strangling, dismemberment, a president who doesn't shy away from confrontation was surprisingly restrained today. i'm told he wanted to show that this wasn't against saudi arabia but to urge the king to act without targeting him 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 glitzy investment conference. but many multinationals and politicians are boycotting it. and the opening speaker couldn't avoid the elephant in the room. the terrible acts reported in recent weeks are alien to our culture and our dna. convincing the us to change tack is harder. its treasury secretary pulled out of the conference but still met the crown prince, the saudis praising the strategic partnership. this was a far harder meeting. jamal khashoggi's son with the man widely accused of ordering his murder. beyond the geopolitics, the regional relations turned upside down,

it comes down to this — a father killed and a family torn apart. mark lowen, bbc news, istanbul. david barchard is a writer and commentator on turkish affairs. he joins us now from york. thanks for being with us. good to talk to you. i may ask you first of all about president erdogan‘s speech today. it was the moment at which the turkish government would reveal all that they knew. did it live up to the billing? i think he did. it wasn't too great for the sensation oi’ wasn't too great for the sensation or produced extra new disclosures. it was a careful legal and chess game he is playing with saudi arabia whose target is clear, the crown prince. but he didn't say so. he is out manoeuvre him. and prepare the

way for some sort of trial of the apparent murders, they have been at least arrested in saudi arabia of khashoggi. how likely do you think thatis khashoggi. how likely do you think that is ever going to come to pass, a trial, a public accountability of those who have been arrested and accused of involvement in this murder? the question is not so much when. i think it is almost inevitable it will be in some form of process. but president erdogan doesn't want smaller individuals to ta ke doesn't want smaller individuals to take blame for the large ones. he thinks the problem is that the top of the system in saudi arabia. again he did not say so but that must be apparent. i don't think having detained 18 people the saturdays can fail to do something. what they should do is send back to turkey for trial there because that is where the crime was committed on turkish

soil. —— the saudis. the crime was committed on turkish soil. -- the saudis. when you saw a news of the reaction from the finance initiative conference taking place in khan and mohammed bin someone place in khan and mohammed bin someone sitting next to the king of jordan, it doesn't look at the man being isolated internationally but despite these allegations. the picture is intended to keep those m essa 9 es picture is intended to keep those messages but i think that backfire rather let the pictures of mike pompeo the american cemetery of state and the crown prince the other day did. these are not the right m essa 9 es day did. these are not the right messages and expressions to be wearing in the sort of circumstances. —— the american secretary of state. when this crime is shock so many people. what is president erdogan trying to achieve, what is his broader objective?” think he has two aims. the first i think he has two aims. the first i think it is quite clear which is to reduce the power and removed from power the crown prince of saudi

arabia. the second is to establish turkey as a clear leader in the islamic world, part of the ideas of freedom which the muslim brotherhood and islamists generally support. and what jamal khashoggi supportive. and beyond that he must establish turkey asa beyond that he must establish turkey as a leading country internationally. and that partly depends on the support of the united states. relations between the us and turkey have been a little bit u nsettled turkey have been a little bit unsettled in recent months. they have indeed. at the moment they may be slightly on the up following the relates of the pastor a few weeks ago. —— the release of the pastor. president trump and president erdogan had spoken twice in the last ten days. president erdogan said that there is complete agreement. i think if he does not want to spoil his new—found working relations with turkey, president trump would have to do turkey, president trump would have todoa turkey, president trump would have to do a certain distance and following this even his ultimate aim

is it is to protect the status quo in saudi arabia. mr pompeo's successof in saudi arabia. mr pompeo's successor in the cia is visiting istanbul to try to get some kind of common ground with the americans on this investigation. on that question of mohammed did some on‘s future, you say that the hope might be from president erdogan of turkey that he could isolate and see the crown prince sideline. given that we are told the king is suffering from some form of dementia, given that he has put mohammad bin salman in charge of the reform of the intelligence services, is a much prospect of the prince being sidelined or even removed from power? it will be an uphill struggle to have a change of that sort. as far as the king is concerned, i think president erdogan is aware that the study family is extremely large and there are other members who are discontented with

mohammad bin salman. and those of the sort of paper with turkey wants on good terms before the rise of and be as. you might see a change of the guard from some of the older faces coming back. and those were in line with them. —— the rise of mbs. whether that can happen is problematic. let me ask you, how do president erdogan has played his hand so far? this was an opportunity that almost dropped into his lap unexpectedly. it was completely unexpected. but i think it has been something of a public relations triumph because the turkish way of feeding news to certain favoured journalists has worked briefly on this occasion when it hasn't on many others. there's been a massive wave of sympathy from throughout the world. it shocked people and people have showed —— enter the show that it does investigate these crimes and that it stands against that kind of thing. of course it's a question of all of the jailed journalists in turkey and that question will not go

away either. david, thanks for speaking. while the dispute you again. they give for your time. tim willcox is in the saudi capital riyadh. tim you have been at that economic event all day in the capital there. has there been much sign that these events have overshadowed it? has there been much sign that these events have overshadowed mm has there been much sign that these events have overshadowed it? it is really interesting. mbs, mohammad bin salman the crown prince was in bed this morning and some of the dog and said "i wonder it is not coming because of that speech by president bared one of turkey and as it later transpired that a bit of it actually because the crown prince and his father were meeting the son and brother of jamal khashoggi. they we re brother of jamal khashoggi. they were photographed passing on their condolences to the family. they previously made a phone call to them. that appears to be the reason they did not come at the beginning

but then when mbs did come to the conference, sunday he set up last year, all an essential part of his vision, 2030 modernising saudi arabia, more investment, wean the country off oil revenues and branch out to other areas as well, he was mobbed like some sort of rock star. crowds of people around him. wanted to dig itself feeds, shake his hand. i managed to get up close at one stage and i thrust my hand forward. ididn't stage and i thrust my hand forward. ididn‘t want stage and i thrust my hand forward. i didn't want to start with the whole jamaal thing because he was surrounded by his bodyguards. but i did to say "in the context of recent events, i do think things are going?" and he said "great. more people, more money". he laughed and his bodyguard laughed and then he was away. it doesn't seem to be preoccupying him was away. it doesn't seem to be preoccu pying him at was away. it doesn't seem to be preoccupying him at the moment. if you look at the delegates here, is a different conference. you don't have the big titans of business and

politics but a lot of the deputies are here. i spoke to us several different companies because the ceo did not come because they did that one shareholder pressure. but they came because they need a seasoned conference at this. this is a hard—nosed conference at this. this is a ha rd—nosed pragmatic relationship but the numbers realistically don't appear to be that far down. sol but the numbers realistically don't appear to be that far down. so i am told from last year. it is simply a conference that will be at a session tomorrow morning. we're told that there will be a couple of big announcements. i don't think it would be a to do with jamal khashoggi. i could be wrong but i doubt it. there will be any questions from journalists here. tim willcox in riyadh, thank you. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:40 and 11:30 this evening in the papers our guestsjoining me tonight are laura hughes, political correspondent at the financial times and the former fleet street editor, eve pollard. what is thought to be the uk's

biggest ever strike about equal pay is taking place in glasgow. thousands of council workers are striking for 48 hours, resulting in the closure of hundreds of schools, and affecting some care services. scotland's highest court last year ruled that women at the council had been discriminated against since 2006 and that some had lost thousands of pounds a year in pay. our scotland editor sarah smith reports. francis is a social care worker who said she did not want to go on strike but feels she has no choice. francis and her colleagues say they are paid up to £3 an hour less than men doing similar work because of pay structures that penalise those who work irregular hours, the vast majority of whom are women. there are cleaners and carers and dinner school ladies getting a lot less than men for doing the same jobs or similarjobs. we do so much more, compared to a cleansing worker, a gardner, so there is no comparison.

we are dealing with people's lives. we want equality. we want to be treated equal. primary schools and nurseries across the city are closed and most home care services suspended. glasgow city council say that that is putting some vulnerable people at risk, like irene who needs four care visits a day to make sure that she takes essential medication. what do you need you that are not getting today? how did you feel when you were told your carer would not be coming in today? are you annoyed she is not here? thousands of women and some male colleagues took to the streets today after 12 years of arguing about equal pay. the irony is that the pay structure

is put in place were put in place the irony is that the pay structure were put in place to try to end discrimination but the woman on strike say they entrench the inequality. over a decade under labour control, the council did not resolve the pay dispute. the snp took charge last year promising to settle the claims. unions say negotiations have stalled but the council insists that the strike is completely unnecessary. we have been trying to meet every single one of their demands and have agreed with forward on everything. they had every reason to withdraw the strike action right up until this morning. at this point we are not clear what it is they still want. campaigners say the cost of settling 12,000 equal pay claims could be over half a billion pounds. the council dispute that figure but admit it is facing a huge financial challenge. scotland's first minister nicola

sturgeon said today she wished this strike wasn't taking place but that she had nothing but admiration for the women taking part. it's difficult for her because they are taking action against an snp lead counsel. they of course blame the labour party who were in charge here for decades. so, the snp are determined to settle these pay claims. it's just not clear how they are going to going to afford to pay for that. sarah smith, bbc news, glasgow. president trump's national security adviserjohn bolton has held talks with russia's president vladimir putin to explain why the us is pulling out of a 30—year—old nuclear treaty. the 90—minute meeting also touched on the conflict in syria and alleged russian meddling in the 2016 us presidential election. earlier, mr bolton dismissed russia's warning that scrapping the arms pact would make the world a more dangerous place. the russians have said this would

make the world more dangerous place, do you agree with that present i think this recognises the change reality and i think given russian violations of the treaty as well, you can't rely on technology. you have to rely on the fax on the grounds that we see. john bolton there. barbara plett—usher is in washington. barbara, a lot of interest in this announcement about the russian treaty. what came out ofjohn bolton's interaction with the russian president? he had to explain to mr putin why the americans were taking this step because it seems to have come over the decision quite suddenly and the russians said the treaty has weaknesses but to pull out of it and not offer a replacement isn't a good idea and is dangerous because we will be obliged to respond. so that they had military ballots. but mr bolton as

he said in his press conference was twofold. one he said that the russians were cheating, and deploying missiles that are bound by the treaty —— banned by the treaty in europe which is very the treaty covers. they have been doing that and he the previous initiation was lacking up in this and ministration was taking steps against that. and he said it was out dated from agl strategy term. it was made in 1987 when russia and the us were as each other with the cold war. but since then other countries have been building missiles that were banned by the treaty but not covered. he said it is outdated, russia is cheating, we are pulling out, the world will not fall apart. having said that many experts and politicians here are worried that this will open the door to a new arms race. thanks forjoining. sport now, and a full round up from the bbc sport centre. i see out of the corner of my eye

to sri lanka and make sure they don't allow their series win to ‘paper over the cracks'. england recorded a 3—1 series victory but slumped to a massive 291—run defeat in the final one dayer in colombo. which has led to morgan questioning his side's attitude. joe lynskey reports. sri lanka have toiled with the bat and with the weather in this series but this dead rubber saw them finally end the downpour. the home side up to 137 before losing their first wicket. and the england breakthrough brought in more big hitters. the home side got to their biggest score in two years in one—day internationals and even for this england team chasing, they saw three wickets for in the first two overs. joss butler was captain for the day and lasted just two balls. whenjoe root went england were 28 for four and only 67 added from ben stokes made their innings look respectable. the deficit in runs needed england's heaviest defeat in one—day cricket, a result no one saw coming

and found in more familiar fashion. the series in the monsoon season ending with the covers on, for england when the rain clears they will have to paper over the cracks. they brought in players to have a look at them and give them time to push them up the order. but i am not really sure how much you learn from that. if you are looking ahead to the world cup which obviously they are, how much wejudge the world cup which obviously they are, how much we judge from this one game? they got thrashed. it is england's biggest defeat in an odi when batting second. that is big. i don't know if they have learned anything much from this game. caroline wozniacki got the defence of her wta finals title back on track with victory over petra kvitova. wozniacki was beaten in her tournament opener by karolina pliskova at the weekend. but won her second round robin match this afternoon in three sets. it's her first victory over the two—time wimbledon winner since 2014.

herfamily knew she did have much longer to live and believed a plan herfamily knew she did not have much longer to live and believed a plan was in place for a peaceful death in the home, but the reality was very different. the frustration of having all end of life drugs that would have eased her pain and agitation and fear down the corridor and not getting anyone prepared to administer them without a sign off from a gp is absolutely awful. awful. and will be with me forever. i know that. that is her in sri lanka. lindy is another who feels let down by the same care home. her mother, barbara, who was 106, enjoyed living there, but when her condition worsened, she was in distress for several hours as the right medication was not given through a device known as a syringe driver. lindy thinks it was down to a lack of training. i feel that nurses who work, who care for the elderly, should have extra training in palliative care and that this

should be legislated by the government. the website for the bupa care home in west london highlights smart fixtures and fittings. fees can be over £100,000 a year. it advertises palliative care, that is symptom management at end of life, making sure physical and psychological needs are met, but an inspection by the regulator, the cqc, in august last year said it required improvement. in a statement, bupa told us that the team here had undertaken additional training since the cqc inspection and that nurses do have the equipment to administer pain relief. it added that syringe driver training is available for all registered nurses in the care homes. the regulator believes there is a growing problem with some nursing homes not providing the right level of care for residents in their final days. it is not acceptable that we cannot support people at the end

of their life in the way that they want to. some people can definitely do it, but it is not happening everywhere and we need to get that sorted. ingrid says it is time to end the taboo of not talking about death and to strive to get every care home properly enabled to allow residents to die with dignity. hugh pym, bbc news. after a year of extreme weather farmers have a lot to contend with at the moment. but sheep farmers are facing possibly an even bigger obstacle as they put their rams in the fields this breeding season. the lambs they are planning for will be born after brexit and so decision making is unusually difficult. and the latest figures show that breeding ewes are fetching the lowest price in more than three years. our consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith has been to talking to farmers in cumbria. on a crisp autumn day there are few places more appealing than being up on the hills with the sheep at this farm. but for rachel and her family

it is getting harder to make the sums add up. 300 lambs, £30. you're talking a £30 loss or £30 less... yes, it is about £9,000. we have friends with £20,000 back. it is a bit of a worry, because obviously you have got your bills to pay. but she is already having to make the big decisions about next spring. we put them in with the sheep, we have got lambs inside sheep and we don't know if they will be able to sell, but you cannot not put your rams in with your sheep, so you just have to carry on, really. this is crunch time of year for sheep farmers, they are finding out how much they made on all their lambs from last spring and how much they are going to have to invest in breeding stock this year. because, it is market season. so i am heading down the road to one of the biggest livestock markets in the country.

almost 500 rams were sold here today for breeding next spring's lambs. at auctions across the country, prices were down. farmers as a whole, as a race, if you like, as a group of people, are pretty resilient. we had a difficult winter, really bad spring, beast from the east and all the assorted weather, followed by a really dry summerand brexit, so, yes, the amount of uncertainty is probably greater than we have seen for a long time. but that is how the land lies for farmers this breeding season. they are going to be in a situation where those lambs are going to be born post—brexit, in a completely different market. we might be under world trade organization tariffs then which would really hit. 90% of our lamb trade in this

country goes to europe, so that if we go under wto rules, we are in a really difficult situation, where we do not have free trade access to our biggest market. rachel's daughter catherine is watching as her parents make big financial decisions about the farm she loves and hopes to run one day. definitely it is in the back of my mind, like what is going to happen after brexit? but i do think we need to persevere, because we are the people who provide the food for the uk. whatever happens, decisions by farmers to reduce their flock now will have an impact on the price we pay in the shops for lamb next year. coletta smith, bbc news in kirby stephen. coming up later in the programme, what's made of enough steel to build 60 eiffel towers and is located just off china's mainland? well we'll be taking a closer look at what's now

the world's longest sea bridge. now it's time for a look at the weather with susan powell. good evening. thanks to high pressure the weather across the uk is very settled at the moment. that'll be the case for the next few days but prepare yourself. a big change in weather for the end of the week. not to mention the weight of books, and the way it feels as we switch to an arctic air mass. through the evening, winds are using after the gusty day we have seen. still enough breeze across northern ireland and england to have an mild night. we would generally stay in double figures here. chris cost to the stock means temperatures will hold up. —— clear skies. an improved store for scotland. hazy sunshine in

many areas. high cloud drifting in on the breeze. but the sunshine is to the south and east we expect the temperature of 15 or 16 degrees. hello. you're watching bbc news with me, shaun ley. the headlines: the saudi royal family meet relatives of the murdered journalist in riyadh. turkey's president says the murder was planned days ahead, and he's demanded justice is done. thousands of council workers in glasgow stage a 48—hour strike over equal pay. hundreds of schools and home care services have been affected. a health regulator is warning that some elderly people are facing unnecessarily distressing and painful deaths due to variations in the standard in care homes. the care quality commission says a lack of training and staffing shortages are to blame. harry and meghan have greeted the crowds in fiji, 65 years after the prince's grandmother did the same, during her coronation tour.

women and girls across the uk face relentless harassment on the street, and not enough is being done to stop it, according to a group of mps. the women and equalities committee says the amount of harassment means it's became normalised for girls growing up, and says the government must do more to tackle the issue. it's calling for a range of measures, including forcing rail and bus operators to take tougher action on the issue, and to block the viewing of pornography on public transport. let's speak now to sian lewis, a doctoral researcher on sexual harassment on public transport who provided evidence to the women and equalities committee. she joins us on webcam from central london. thanks so much for talking to us this evening. the first thing i should ask you about, i suppose, is your own experience. it's far from academic. i started looking at

sexual harassment and public transport because of my own experience. my spirits a man touching himself next to me on the bus and it reiterated how common it actually is. it is so normalised that people do not report it would happen to them. i was struck by the research. this is in the middle of the morning. it's not a late at night thing, it's not somebody drugged, the heating stupid or inappropriate. —— it's on someone drunk, behaving stupider and appropriate. in the end can be decided not to report it and i wondered what the kind of thought process was for you. i think a lot of the time for a lot of people, we still have this perception of police as possibly not doing something sexual harassment, minimising it. we

minimise ourown sexual harassment, minimising it. we minimise our own experiences and actually we believe it interrupt your day. you take the time to report actually interrupt your day. you kind of have to disrupt what you're doing. sometimes, it's much easier tojust get on you're doing. sometimes, it's much easier to just get on with your day and forget about it because it's so normalised and because it happens so often i'll stop i thinks —— it happens often, i think that's why we have to stop pushing it aside. happens often, i think that's why we have to stop pushing it asidem the past... i can remember going up in the 1980s, a comedian making light of people exposing themselves. there was actually a sequence in the title of a programme called cagney and lacey, a popular opening tv drama in the states. a person flashes the detectives. it was a jokey thing. the kind of stuff woman experienced... girls experience, some quite young girls have to put

up some quite young girls have to put up with this intimidation on an almost daily basis going to school. i think that's a keyword, is that it's intimidation. we've seen with harvey weinstein... every it's intimidation. we've seen with harvey weinstein. .. every aspect of life and i think it's happening from such a young age, we start going into ourselves, we stopped experiencing public space the same way men do. where learning gradually, because there are so much research done, what we see a such a minor behaviours, when they build up over a lifetime, they have such a big impact on how you can interact with people around you and how you can enjoy life on day to day basis. what in practical terms can be done? it's hard to think of circumstances 01’ it's hard to think of circumstances or you it's hard to think of circumstances 01’ you can it's hard to think of circumstances or you can legislate against this kind of almost daily drip feed of harassment and intimidation in a way

that we can want somebody physically assault someone. i think that's at least the thing called blurred lines. when something is less secure physical violent assault, i think what the committee is doing is so significant, because it is highlighting the harm that it has. and the transport police have done a huge amount and if you report what happens to you, actually, it's up to them to decide if it's a crime and very often, what women think of is an even harassment is sexual assault. —— what women don't even think of as harassment. more and more people are being arrested for this kind of thing. in hindsight can if what happened you happen again, would your response be different?” struggle with this, because this

happened while i was doing research. despite knowing all of this and despite knowing the tax number two british transport police, i still normalise it is to push it to the back of my mind, and i think that's really important thing. the onus should not be edited to do handle it. it's up to you. if you experience this, it's completely up to you. it's not your responsibility report. if you do report it can actually be incredibly productive and the police have such a huge knowledge base on offenders, on public transport, that they have a strong chance of actually finding people. maybe us as men passengers and customers, too, need to dig a bit of ownership as well. sian lewis, thank you for being so candid with us and talking to us on bbc news this evening. the engineering firm dyson, which employs thousands of people in wiltshire, is to make its new electric cars outside the united kingdom. it's chosen singapore, a country that's just signed a trade

deal with the european union. critics of sirjames dyson, who is a leading brexit supporter, say the decision shows a lack of faith in britain after we leave the eu. will glennon has more. at dyson's new electric car base in wiltshire, the 400 staff came to work to be told the manufacturing of that electric car will take place in singapore. management said it had been a difficult decision, but with motors already made there and local expertise established, it had to be the far east. dyson tell us they're investing £200 million here at hullavington airfield in research and development, and this is where the state of the art test track will be built full. will be built. but still, some are disappointed that the actual electric car won't be physically made here in wiltshire. this isn't unexpected. dyson already makes everything else abroad. the company moved manufacture of its vaccuum cleaner to malaysia in 2002, and washing machines went the following year. but the headquarters

remains near malmesbury, with over 4,000 people employed. so there was still hope. i suppose it's not entirely unexpected that the manufacture isn't going to take place here in the county. very disappointed nevertheless. undoubtedly, it would have been good for the county, and swindon, and not far away in oxford, there is a hotbed of automotive industry and manufacture, so it would have been good to have the electric car manufactured here. the campus at hullavington continues to expand, though. the test track will include miles of different surfaces, a skid pan, even an off—road circuit. we still don't know what the final car will look like. we're promised something radical, and it's due to be ready in 2021. will glennon, bbc points west, wiltshire. ajudge in london has said a contempt of court case against the founder of the english defence league, tommy robinson, must be referred to the attorney general.

the case was due to heard at the old bailey today. mr robinson — who was prosecuted under his real name stephen yaxley lennon — is facing an allegation that he committed contempt by filming people before a criminal trial. the government says flour could be fortified with folic acid in a bid to help reduce birth defects. health officials believe the change would mean pregnant women get the recommended regular exposure to the b vitamin. a consultation is due to be launched next year. uk high streets have the highest concentration of fast food outlets in almost a decade, according to research by bbc news. in most areas, the number of takeaways per 100,000 people is at its highest since 2010 — up by a third in that time. research suggests people most exposed to them are nearly twice as likely to be obese. 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're seeing more takeaways than you're actually seeing corner shops. i think they should definitely limit the number of fast—food places massively, because it is just taking over. it's 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've 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 ta keaways. but on current trends, the number of these food businesses is set to rise and the battle to control bulging waistlines looks likely to become harder. david rhodes, bbc news, rotherham. the longest sea bridge in the world has been opened by the chinese president, xijinping. the multi—billion pound bridge and tunnel project links hong kong, macau and mainland china. the project has been designed to withstand earthquakes and typhoons. it contains 400,000 tonnes of steel — enough, it is said, to build 60 eiffel towers. but the construction has been dogged by safety concerns, and fears about its environmental impact. robin brant reports. it's another vast infrastructure project in china. this one took nine years and almost £12 billion to build. the mega bridge spans 34 miles, crossing the mouth

of the pearl river in china's south. linking hong kong and the casino hub macau with zhuhai on the chinese mainland. the big idea is to create a new bay area powerhouse to rival tokyo or san francisco, china hopes. it links to more than 60 million people in china's high—tech manufacturing base. it's the place where this country first experimented with economic reform 40 years ago. translation: i think this bridge will bring great convenience to the whole of zhuhai, hong kong and macau and promote the economic development of the whole area of the pearl river delta. it was a brief, in fact, very brief ceremony for china's president. xi jinping simply declared the bridge open and then went off to inspect it. what has immediately become a tourist attraction comes

with a very heavy price tag. the bbc understands 18 workers were killed during construction. hundreds were injured. the structure is not all bridge — tunnels were built as well, dug to allow shipping to pass freely. but some in hong kong in particular worry it's another symbol from beijing of encroaching sovereignty onto its special status. others claim it will be woefully underused. there are traffic quotas, different insurance requirements and the practicalities. on the chinese mainland, you drive on the right. in hong kong and macau, the left. robin brant, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news: it is just approaching 14 minutes to nine. the saudi royal family meet relatives of the murdered journalist jamal khashoggi in riyadh.

they brought the british weather with them. but neither rain nor wind would get in the way of this welcome. fiji is a long way from pretty much everywhere, and this visit is a big deal. on the way in from the airport, fijians waited to catch sight of their royal guests. in the centre of suva, the crowds grew and grew. around 15,000 fijians have turned out in the heart of the capital to welcome them. they may be here for only two days, but this looks like it's going to be a huge event for fiji. it used to be no cheering at a welcoming ceremony. cheering. not any more. the couple watched as kava was prepared, a drink made from a plant of the same name with deep roots in fijian society.

then for the duke, more than just a sip. laughter. applause. after drinking, of course — dancing. more than six decades ago, the same ceremony for harry's grandmother, the queen. afterwards, she came out on her hotel balcony to greet the crowds. and tonight, so did harry and meghan. fijians were thrilled. we just love them. and she's just so beautiful. and harry, he's blessed to have her!

you know? we love them to bits. the royals are like family to us fijians. and we fijians always think of them as a family to us. lots of royal history, then, here in fiji, and also a glimpse of the future. jonny dymond, bbc news, suva. now it's more than a mile down, deep in the black sea, and it's the world's oldest intact shipwreck every discovered. a team of british and bulgarian researchers has carbon—dated the ship, a greek trading vessel to around 400 bc, and say its shape hasn't been compromised, despite spending more than 2,400 years underwater. lucinda adam has the story. deep down in the black sea, archaeologists have been discovering dozens of wrecks almost perfectly preserved in the dark waters where there is little oxygen. this wreck is from the byzantine period, about a thousand years old.

but deeper down, beyond the reach of human divers, are much older ships. this, the oldest ever found — a classical greek trading vessel that has laid here on the sea bed for 2,400 years, from the time when aristotle was still alive. the first thing we saw as we came along the hull was this quarter rudder. and this is diagnostic in the sense that rudders weren't used in this way before the 1300s, and then this particular style goes back to the classical world. and then we actually excavated down the shaft of the rudder until we got to the end of the blade, and that said it's greek and not roman. this and more than 60 other wrecks were discovered and mapped by rovs, or remote operated vehicles, delving more than two kilometres below the surface, where organisms that would normally eat the wood can't survive. we've got this just astonishing preservation, an entire ship with its rudders in place.

what's amazing about it is when you look at the pictures of it, you kind of recognise it. we've seen these ships before and we've seen them in paintings. the wreck looks something like this image, on a greek vase held by the british museum. the ship has a mast and a sail and a single row of oars. it's about 30 metres long. but it's unlikely that it will ever be raised. its timbers are much too fragile to be brought to the surface. because of that, preservation by recording means that, yeah, we are able to get all of this information up and we are able to leave the wreck so that future generations with better technology are able to come and use their skills to find out even more. for now, these wrecks will remain deep underwater but marine archaeologists will work to bring the history they hold to the surface. lucinda adam, bbc news. remarkable story. and here's another

one for you. when the owners of a book shop in the market town of cardigan in west wales decided they wanted to retire from the much—loved business they'd started years earlier, they chose an unusual 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 here and a really nice customer base. it's 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 i 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 — 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. i properly met you like 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've beenjust... it hasn't 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. tonight is the premiere of bohemian rhapsody. the film charting the music of queen, and its lead singer, freddie mercury. our entertainment correspondent, lizo mzimba has been talking to some very special guests on the red carpet at wembley arena. i'm joined by i'mjoined by rami i'm joined by rami malek, who plays freddie mercury. how difficult was it getting under freddy mercury's skin for this film? was very daunting. it was a task i did not ta ke daunting. it was a task i did not take lightly to stop comes with a man's responsibility to do him justice and honour him stop i always might part on it comes at this time, idid might part on it comes at this time, i did double duty. what you feel when you play a figure that is so

beloved by so many people? he means everything to everyone come and something very specific to each one of us. the only way that you get around that was myself him, to bring some part of my humanity to understanding the human who is an immigrant, who is struggling to identify himself, a fish out of water. it's been an amazing journey. full of twists and turns and bonds but it is like that, isn't it? it's been incredible. goes back a long way. every time we got a script writer, roger and i would kind of throw stuff at them and see what they made of it. cutting a long story short, we are here and we have a film and i think it will speak for itself. you're a producer on the movie as well. how much responsibility did you feel to make sure the story was told well both for you and for freddie. joined by roger taylor as well. we're talking

the road responsibility you fell for making the movie good for fans and for freddie's memory.” making the movie good for fans and for freddie's memory. i guess you could say we're trend make everyone fulfilled. i think we're trying to stay sure to freddie's character. it's probably true. we hope it is going to bring a lot ofjoy. it's probably true. we hope it is going to bring a lot of joy. the film finishes of a performance at live eight. does it really? spoiler alert! is that the moment you think to find queens? certainly an important one. one of the pinnacles. probably freddie's finest hour in ways. the climax, yeah. the bandmates and rami malek talking at wembley arena. let's take a look at wembley arena. let's take a look at the prospects. good evening. once again, some

distant autumn sunshine. southern and eastern counties of the uk. this was the picture in norfolkjust this afternoon. quite a breezy story across the board. and in the north of west, chances of stock in rather play closed skies here. pictures in the hills of derbyshire. a weather front to the north west of us, rain and fog vertically to the west of scotla nd and fog vertically to the west of scotland that we tend to lose that rain as we move further on into the evening and overnight tonight. quite a bit of cloud, though, if you need to the north of england. —— feeding into the north. the cloud in the breeze will keep things mild. in many spots and temperatures in double figures for to the south, even with clear spells, a more breeze tonight will mean a milder story for us first thing on wednesday. still the chance of patch and missed, though, as the day gets under way. wednesday, i pressure very much the dominating force in

oui’ very much the dominating force in our weather. till some patchy rain for the northern isles. hazy sunshine. there will be some high cardigan pushing in on the northwesterly breeze but i stress a breeze, not the strong when we saw on tuesday. feeling quite present in sunshine —— doing quite pleasant. thursday, slightly cooler feel to proceedings. we just change our air mass a little bit. the big change in the way things feel comes behind this cold weather front here. after a fine day for much of the uk, heavy rain gets in to the northwest of scotla nd rain gets in to the northwest of scotland later on in the day, cold weather front will start to push its way south. perhaps not bearing too much in the way of rain as it does so. the biggest difference and will bring about is called airstrip from the arctic. we have been in this warm atlantic hermas. a polar blast

to and this week. biting northerly winds as well. really dealing with children with many of us getting double digit temperatures in the weekend. it will be colder than that, though, with the wind. hello, i'm kasia madera, this is outside source. the saudi palace released this photo today. it's the murdered journalist jamal khashoggi's son called in to meet mohammed bin salman. this as the world's seven richest countries ask the saudi arabia to provide a full account of the killing. meanwhile that same crown prince was greeted like a rock star at the saudi investment conference that opened today. president trump and president putin say they'll meet next month, as the two leaders have been disagreeing over a nuclear treaty that mr trump wants to quit. the european commission rejects

italy's budget plan for next year, but the country's interior minister is in no mood to compromise. so what next for one of the founding members of the eu?
