to play for england, he must be a good player. what about brad shields in the england starting line—up after having played his whole career in new zealand? hanson had an affection for shields, but he said that facing his old mates will be emotional. joel wilson reporting. wales, meanwhile, have picked josh adams for saturday's test against australia — also one of three changes to their win over scotland. the worcester winger replaces luke morgan, who started the last test, and plays ahead of british and irish lions star liam williams. and scotland have received a boost with the news stuart hogg's been passed fit to face fiji. he only had ankle surgery eight weeks ago. he will play at full—back alongside finn russell and greig laidlaw, who also returns after missing last weekend's defeat to wales. uefa are considering fast—tracking the use of var technology into this season's champions league, after one of the most generous penalties you're ever likely to see. manchester city were already one—up against shakhtar donetsk when rahemm sterling went down in the box — but the replays clearly show that he tripped himself up.

not the finest moment for the officials. no contact from a shakhtar donetsk player. the penalty was scored, and city went on to win 6—0. jose mourinho, meanwhile, was a happy man as manchester united scored a couple of late goals to beatjuventus. they went behind to a great finish from former united man cristiano ronaldo, who then showed everyone his six—pack. it looked like united were heaading for defeat in turin, before juan mata got things going with a free kick. and then an own goal, two minutes from time completed, the come back. gymnast louis smith has announced his retirement at the age of 29. the two—time olympic silver medallist had planned to return to training in the lead—up to the tokyo olympics. he says he's taking on other exciting opportiunities, which includes starring in a musical in february. he competed at three olympic games, and won two further bronze medals, the first at beijing in 2008. and andy murray's latest return

12 people, including a police officer, have been killed after a gunman opened fire in a crowded bar in los angeles. witnesses reported hearing more than 30 shots at the venue in the thousand oaks area, which was hosting a country music night. an officer who was responding to the incident was killed, and officials have also confirmed that the gunman is dead. cbs reporter chris martinez is near the scene in thousand oaks, and gave us this update. well, the latest numbers, as you've heard, 13 dead here. and that includes the shooter. so, we have 11 victims inside the bar, one sheriff's deputy who was killed rushing in to help, and then we have the shooter dead as well. they're also telling us that there's anywhere from 10—15, maybe more, injuries here that were related to this. most, if not all of those, though, are not gunshot—related. so those are injuries people sustained as they were trying to get out of the building. and we've heard from witnesses here,

people who were inside, that it was a very frantic, mad rush to get out, as you might imagine. some of them breaking windows on the second floor and jumping out the window from the second floor to get out. once they realised what was actually happening here inside this very crowded bar, everyone was doing whatever they could to get out, helping one another get to safety, and also helping the wounded here get medical attention. ron helus was the sheriff's deputy who died at the scene. here's the county sheriff, geoff dean, who knew him well. it's so tragic. and, losing ron, you know... we go to the gym together, we work out together. it's horrific and terrible. and it saddens our heart. but there's also the parents of those 11 other victims in there whose hearts are ripped out tonight. and i know there's parents wondering, "oh, my gosh, you know, was one of my children in there?" "or was it my sister or my brother?" there's just no way to describe this. it saddens us all and it tears at our hearts

and emotions, as it should. if we ever get to the point where it doesn't, then there's something wrong with us. the county sheriff that, geoff dean. mps are calling for a change in the law so that flat—owners don't have to foot the bill for replacing unsafe cladding in the wake of the grenfell disaster. more than 350 high—rise residential buildings in england still have the same type of flammable cladding used at grenfell. some leaseholders have been told they may have to pay for it to be changed. david rhodes reports. it's the nightmare that people living in a tower block fear. in february, a fire broke out in this leeds high—rise. we discovered that the cladding on the building is the same as the grenfell tower cladding. i'm pretty angry, because it's taken so long to sort it out and, you know, this is life—threatening. leaseholders like nick in skyline apartments say they have been told they might have to pay for the cladding to be replaced. £10,000 to £20,000 perflat,

so i have no idea how i will raise that money, but they are asking for it up front. the company that runs the tower blocks says plans to remove the cladding are being developed and that no final decision about who will pay for the removal has been reached. after grenfell, where 72 people died, building owners were told they needed to check for acm cladding. in october, there were 358 residential buildings in england where acm was still present, and there are growing calls for the law to be changed so that flat owners or leaseholders don't have to pay. clearly, the money has to be found upfront to replace the cladding, and it needs to be done quickly for reasons of safety. but this absolutely cannot fall on the shoulders of the leaseholders. residents should not be obliged to pay. it should be for those owning the freeholds, owning those buildings, the developers. the association of residential managing agents says that the government should provide interest—free loans to the holders to cover the cost, but many are waiting to discover if they will have to

pick up the final bill. david rhodes, bbc news, leeds. the bbc has obtained police data suggesting that recorded hate crimes against disabled children have more than tripled in the last four years. in once incident, vandals broke into a school in newcastle which caters for children with disabilities and left abusive graffiti aimed at the pupils. tim muffett‘s been to meet staff and students at hadrian primary school in newcastle to see how they were affected by the break—in. the school got vandalised. they smashed all this, and all this nice playground, and all the toys. we were very, very sad. there are no words. so this is the area that we discovered with the graffiti, the most offensive language that was written, describing our children. most of the graffiti that appeared

at hadrian school in newcastle is too offensive to show. the school is for children with physical and learning disabilities. over the easter holidays, vandals broke in. they painted horrible words, and they did very horrible things. they've smashed the minibuses and smashed the side window here. but the thing that upset us all, the thing that kind of hit home, was the nature of the graffiti was targeting our children's disabilities. we've never actually experienced that sort of vitriolic nature of language. we contacted a0 police forces across the uk. their figures show that the number of disability hate crimes carried out against children each year has more than tripled. there were around 350 incidents four years ago. last year, around 1,100. it's partly better reporting. so it's always going to be down to improved reporting practices, but... hannah mason—bish is a criminologist from the university of sussex. alongside better police reporting, she believes other

factors are also at play. unfortunately, the eu referendum gave some people the opportunity to act out their prejudices in a much more open way, and so we saw hate crime and hate incidents increase across all the different strands. we know that social media platforms, they encourage comments, and unfortunately some of those can be unpleasant, hate—filled, prejudicial comments. people won't go out at night... the headquarters of surrey police. to help tackle hate crime, the force has been working with mark brooks, from dimensions, an organisation that supports people with learning disabilities and autism. the issue where we most get attacked is either home time, with the schoolkids, and also on buses, where schoolkids do make fun of them, callthem names, even throw things at them. the government told us that it was determined to tackle all hate crime.

it said support for disabled victims had increased, and that the rise in incidents was largely driven by better police understanding and a greater willingness for victims to come forward. at hadrian school in newcastle, volunteers helped repair the damage. the podium is back to its rightful face. but, despite the best efforts of police, the vandals were never caught. so whoever you are, if you're watching, please do not come back. i don't like you. tim muffett, bbc news. in a moment, we'll have all the business news. but first, the headlines on bbc news: 12 people, including a police officer, are killed after a gunman opens fire in a crowded bar in california. prince charles vows to keep his opinions to himself when he becomes king. in his own words, he's "not that stupid" to meddle. a serious blow to plans for a new nuclear plant in cumbria, as toshiba withdraws from the project. i'm susannah streeter

with the business news. canadian aerospace manufacturer bombardier has announced 5,000 globaljob cuts over the next 18 months in a bid to "streamline" the struggling firm. it will also sell its 0 series aircraft programme. bombardier employs about 4,000 people in belfast, though the company hasn't yet said where the job cuts will take effect. half—year results at sainsbury‘s have been boosted by its takeover of catalogue retailer argos. the supermarket said half—year underlying profits rose by a fifth to £302 million. accounting for one—off costs related to its tie—ups with argos and asda did however see profits decline versus a year earlier. and dyson has won in its attempt to overturn eu rules on energy labelling for vacuum cleaners. the uk firm claimed tests to assess the efficiency of vacuum cleaners favoured rivals' models. while firms continue to hire

new staff at near record rates, they are increasingly struggling to find employees with the right skills to do the jobs available. that's according to a new report on thejobs market, which highlights health care, it and engineeering as the most affected sectors. the uk has historically low levels of unemployment. tom hadley, director of policy at rec, a co—author of the report, joins us live now. thank you forjoining us, tom. if you are looking for a job or wanting to drop off to a position that is higher paid, this is a good time to do this isn't it supple wanting to job hop. it is good that demand is really strong across a whole range of sectors. forjob—seekers, it is a good time to sound out what is out there. is it a good time to make a move? the big challenge for employers is attracting a staff that

you need when candidate availability is degreasing month on month. you highlight that there is not enough training to get over this mismatch of skills. you want more call operation between employers and the government. in what way? one of the things we think... could help with is the apprenticeship levy, which is not really working for employers or the workers. one of the things we are saying is that if you are a temporary worker, the apprenticeship levy doesn't work for you because it is not suitable for people on a temporary contracts. if you made it into a broader skills levy, it could benefit more workers. that is one example where government could really help provide notjustjob opportunities but progression opportunities. you highlight health ca re opportunities. you highlight health care as a sector opportunities. you highlight health care as a sector where opportunities. you highlight health care as a sector where there is a shortage of staff, particularly in nursing. just how much of a shortage is that sector experiencing? nursing. just how much of a shortage is that sector experiencing ?m nursing. just how much of a shortage is that sector experiencing? it is increasing month on month and it has been for quite awhile since the eu

referendum. we have the challenge of less eu workers coming over to the uk. one of the recruitment agencies we represent said that 83% fewer nurses were coming over since the referendum. it is a challenge in the short—term. one thing is we can be vital for short—term. one thing is we can be vitalfor —— short—term. one thing is we can be vital for —— one thing we short—term. one thing is we can be vitalfor —— one thing we can be thankfulfor is vitalfor —— one thing we can be thankful for is that we have a vibrant temporary market, but we need a more thorough look at planning in the nhs and how we build a pipeline of workers that, notjust now but in the next two years. and what is this wage pressure doing full terms? if companies have to pay more to attract the best workers, thatis more to attract the best workers, that is not a great bottom line, is it? employers and recruitment agencies are saying, pay is one of the issues. you need to be competitive unthinkable what is the market doing in terms of pay levels? employers are looking at other things that you can do, there is a lot of talk about flexible working

being an incentive. making sure the job is interesting and that the reds progression opportunities. a lot of companies are working with recruitment partners to promote the jobs that they have got. it is a good debate to be having. at the same time, we are calling on government to help us by looking at immigration policy and making sure that we have an evidence —based immigration strategy post—brexit bike tom hadley, thank you for talking to us. let's move on to some other business stories around today. samsung are hailing this as the future of smartphones — a folding screen. out flat, the phone looks like a tablet. no, it is not her, we will be talking about this lady in a moment. first bull, we are talking on samsung —— first of all. they have unveiled a phone which when out flat looks like a tablet. when closed, the screen on the other side of the device comes into use. tesla says robyn denholm has taken elon musk‘s place as chair of the company's board. can we see her? yes, the shears! ——

the shears. the founder remains chief executive. musk had to leave his role as chairman as part of a settlement with the regulator, the securities and exchange commission, to resolve claims of fraud sparked by some of his tweets. and, the duke of york has said entrepreneurs should continue "engaging" with saudi arabia, despite the murder last month of journalist jamal khashoggi. he made the comments at an event for his intiative pitch@palace. let's move on to the financial markets. you can see that london's blue chip is in positive territory. sainsbury‘s shares have prison. like—for—like sales growth for the period strips out the impact of new stores, which disappointed analysts a bit. a small rise has gone up again. auto trader group is on the board. a bright spot on the ftse 250

today following the release of its half—year results. they have showed the firm as roaring away from its competitors like ebay. and despite the number of cars up for sale, and a falling uk wide stock, the fault has been pretty resilient and investors like it. speculation continues about whether a deal with the eu over brexit is close. that's all the business news. i'll be back in the next hour. air pollution in delhi has risen to severe levels after residents set off fireworks to mark diwali, the hindu festival of lights. monitors at the us embassy in the indian capital recorded air quality readings more than 10 times the level that's considered safe. our correspondent andrew plant has been out on the streets of delhi. head out anywhere in delhi today and the pollution is all too obvious. you don'tjust see it on the hazy horizons, you also feel it in your nose and your mouth, and particularly

your eyes, if you're wearing contact lenses. now, today is notorious here as having extra—poor air quality. it is the day after the diwali festival. now, the air quality safe levels are set by the world health organization at 25, that is parts polluted per cubic metre of air. but look around the monitoring stations here in delhi today and the best you'll find is about 200 — about eight times the safe level. that's described as "unhealthy". lots of places in the 300 level, which is described as "very unhealthy". and if you around 500 or more, which is described as "hazardous". and in fact, this morning some of those registered at 999, which is basically described as "off the scale", so the true reading isn't even known. now, there's been a lot of talk here about firecrackers — traditionally let off in their millions all across india, especially here in delhi, during the diwali festival. the supreme court decided to introduce a partial ban on those, saying people could only set them off between 8pm and 10pm at night to try and reduce the amount of smoke that was being produced and settling here overnight in the city. yesterday, though, we had lots of those being set off notjust

in between those hours but also before and well after, well beyond midnight, too. so, people openly flouting that ban. but of course, it's not really firecrackers that are causing delhi's pollution problems. it is things like the infrastructure, the poor road layout and the very, very clocked traffic jams is that you get here, too. and also it's an accident of geography. delhi is landlocked, it's very low—lying, almost in a bowl, and it's surrounded by huge industrial factories. and also, at this time of year, farmers take to stubble burning — setting light to the fields after they've been harvested. and it's all of those things that add up to some of the very worst air quality anywhere in the world. andrew plant reporting. he may not look it, but mickey mouse is 90 years old.

he first appeared on the silver screen in november 1928, and disney are celebrating with a new exhibition in new york. contemporary artists have been given the chance to reimagine the character and celebrate his illustrious history. tim allman has more. mickey mouse is so much more than a cartoon character. he is nothing short of a cultural icon. one of the world's most recognisable images, this exhibition cast him in a whole new light. opel we wanted to tell mickey's story from beginning to end and focus on on the different things that are most relevant today, but also things that people might not know so much about. we started with the early cartoons in the 30s and worked our way up to the present day and these wonderful modern artist who are creating mickey still. he has captured the imagination of millions. both young and old. but this isn't just about the millions. both young and old. but this isn'tjust about the magic of mickey, it's also about his creator. the academy award right when you

sort of day. some spells of sunshine and heavier downpours at times. bye for now. hello, you're watching afternoon live, i'm simon mccoy. today at 2... a gunman opens fire in a packed bar in southern california, killing 12 people — police say they found the suspect dead inside. i was on the dance floor and i heard the gunshots, so i looked back and then, all of a sudden, everyone screamed, "get down." prince charles says he won't be ‘meddling' in issues when he becomes king. he says he's ‘not that stupid,‘ and understands that his constitutional role will be more restricted. you can't be the same as the sovereign if you're the prince of wales or the heir. but the idea somehow that i'm going to go on exactly the same way, if i have to succeed, is complete nonsense. within hours of hearing the results of the us mid—term elections donald trump fires his attorney general, and bans a cnn reporter
