the headlines: the cia believes that the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman ordered the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi, according to reports in the us. it follows a detailed assessment of evidence by the intelligence agency. however, saudi arabia has called the claim false and insist the crown prince knew nothing of the plans to carry out the killing. the number of people missing in california's deadliest wildfire has risen to more than 1,000, but the local sheriff said some of the names on the list might be duplicated. 71 people are confirmed to have died. it's thought many of the people missing are elderly. donald trump says he has personally finished writing his answers to questions posed by the mueller inquiry into russian interference in the last us presidential election. mr trump said he had not yet submitted the responses because he'd been very busy. the latest headlines. levels of poverty in some of britain's towns and cities are a disgrace, according to a united nations survey. a un envoy concluded that government policies have inflicted unnecessary misery and suffering on millions, including many people in work, despite the uk being the world's

fifth richest economy. and the united nations warns it will get worse after brexit, as our social affairs correspondent michael buchanan reports. i am watching poverty cripple my mother. i lost my house, and it's a lonely world out here. to go to school, go to college and spend all your money on university... it doesn't work like that anymore. often ignored, but for the past ten days, the poor have been listened to. why are so many people crumbling under their burden and losing their fight? here injaywick in essex, england's poorest area, the united nations came to hear what it's like to have little. if i was to die now, no—one would miss me. i'm useless, i can't provide for my family. i'm just going to end it. the meeting was one of nine held across the uk by the un's special investigator

on extreme poverty. his conclusion — the government is in denial about the problem. what i saw is a lot of misery. a lot of people who feel that the system is failing them. a lot of people who feel that the system is really there just to punish them. philip alston said he found staggering levels of child poverty, and a harsh welfare regime that tells the poor... that people who need benefits should be reminded constantly that they are lucky to get anything, that nothing will be made easy. he called for immediate changes to universal credit, the main welfare reform, and deplored the disproportionate effect on women of benefit changes. if you had got a group of misogynists in a room and said, "guys, how can we make this system work for men and not for women?" they wouldn't have come up with too many other ideas than what's already in place.

as you'd expect, ministers have hit back, saying they completely disagree with the un's analysis. they say that household incomes have never been higher, there are one million fewer people living in absolute poverty than in 2010, and that they're committed to providing the right support to those in need. the un's criticisms won't quickly improve the lot of the poor, in jaywick or elsewhere, but they may focus more minds on the daily struggles of millions of britons. michael buchanan, bbc news. now on bbc news, our world looks at whether the murderers of pakistan's social media star, qandeel, have been brought tojustice. a warning that there are adult themes and descriptions of violence which some viewers may find upsetting. this is a story aboutjustice and honour. qandeel baloch was a girl who rose from nowhere and became

pakistan's social media superstar. are a highly provocative videos shocked many in pakistan, but brought her fame. two years ago, qandeel was murdered. her own brother said he had done it because she brought shame on the family. at the time of the murder, qandeel‘s pa rents at the time of the murder, qandeel‘s parents wanted justice for their daughter. amid an international outcry, the pakistani government quickly passed a law against honour killings. my name is hani taha, i have reported on this story from the very beginning. two years on from the

murder, are we any closer to justice for qandeel? in the city of two —— multan, the trial has begun the. her father and her brother have come since the trial began in 2016. it isa it is a complicated case, with seven people charged with taking part in her murder. today there is a bail hearing for one of the defendants. her cousin is accused of strangling her, along with her brother waseem.

qandeel‘s father and his lawyer are utterly opposed to the bail. you can clearly see two years he has aged so much and he has practically lost his eyesight, he is pretty much blind now and i really wonder if he has corn line —— gone blind with grief. he still cries the same way when i first met him two years ago. they have travelled several hours to come here, which is very difficult, they don't have that kind of money and resources to do this. he has been doing it for two years consistently. to understand why this case is so important, you need to

see where it all began. in 2016, just after her murder, i travelled to the village in rural punjab where qandeel was born. in this part of the world, women stay at home and are rarely seen. this is the house where she grew up. her father was a farmer and her mother, a housewife. qandeel had six brothers and two sisters. qandeel spent her childhood in his room. it wasn't long after this photo was

taken that in keeping with local tradition, qandeel was married. but her marriage only lasted a year. after her divorce in 2007, qandeel settled in multan, a city couple of hours drive from her village. it was also around this time that qandeel started making videos for social media. for pakistan, who videos were provocative and daring. —— her videos. but her dream was to make it into the mainstream. like so many other girls trying to break into the scene, the reality was anything but glamorous. to earn money, qandeel was probably working as an escort. as qandeel‘s ambition grew, she left

multan for karachi, entering into the heart of the entertainment industry. qandeel‘s appearance on pakistan's idle thrust her into the limelight. —— accurately. even though she didn't win, she was an insta nt though she didn't win, she was an instant hit. —— idol. she became a regular on national tv, promoting her brand. it was on one chat show that she met mufti qawi, a well—known celebrity cleric, who was also from multan. the two floated on camera. mufti qawi suggested they meet she was in karachi. —— flirted. a few weeks later, during the holy

month of ron dunn, qandeel met mufti qawi in a hotel in karachi. —— kara na qawi in a hotel in karachi. —— karana downs. qawi in a hotel in karachi. —— kara na downs. it qawi in a hotel in karachi. —— karana downs. it was during this meeting that she did a number of selfie ‘s. in one she was wearing the mufti's hacked. this picture in particular caused a media storm. selfie ‘s spread like wildfire. soon she and the mufti were everywhere. the day after the selfie is with the mufti were released, she appeared on one of the most popular talk—show. qandeel and mufti qawi continue to argue and for the presenter, it was

tv gold. he extended the show to 90 minutes. this broadcast further inflamed the situation. in the fallout, mufti qawi was suspended from hisjob with pakistan's religious council. during the selfie video with mufti qawi, qandeel mentioned for the first time that she was from multan. armed with this information, the local multan press swung into action. a few days later, details of qandeel‘s personal life started appearing everywhere. her real name was fouzia azeem, everything,

including a child from a previous marriage, was made public. as these details surfaced, she became increasingly worried about her safety. two weeks before she died, she asked the authorities for protection, but her request was ignored. the allegation is, that two weeks later, qandeel‘s brother wasseem drove with two accomplices to the house qandeel was renting from her pa rents. house qandeel was renting from her parents. after the deal, he mixed sleeping pills with milk, which the whole family drank. he waited for the pills to kick in and when his

pa rents the pills to kick in and when his pa re nts we nt the pills to kick in and when his pa rents went to the pills to kick in and when his parents went to bed, he got his compasses and together they entered qandeel‘s room and killed her. wasseem was arrested later that night and immediately confessed to killing his sister. he said that qandeel‘s involvement with the mufti was the final straw. at the time of the murder, the police investigating officer was a woman. although no longer in charge of the case, she maintains a keen interest in it. gradually, a forward picture began

to emerge. her brother claimed he had been told to murder qandeel by his oldest of rubber and lived in saudi arabia. —— his oldest brother. but it was the role laid by the mufti which most concern to the police when they questioned him. two years ago, i had gone to talk to the mufti myself. he had been keen to declare his innocence, but made a chilling threat. that justice could up

thatjustice could up with a deep. because he had been uncooperative with the police cooperation investigations, he fled, but was quickly rearrested. we try to speak to him for this programme, but his associates to $10,000 per an interview with him. today, he remains on trial, accused of involvement in qandeel baloch's murder. since we interviewed the mufti in

2016, he conceded that he knew the man said to have driven qandeel baloch's relatives to and from the scene. it is his cousin. qandeel baloch's story has been brought into almost every home in pakistan. there isa28 almost every home in pakistan. there is a 28 part tv series based on her life. but her legacy may be greater than this. in response to her

murder, the government passed new law against honour killings, even at family forgives the killers, the state will still try them for murder. but the slow pace of the trial is worrying for those who want qandeel ‘s law to be applied a decent president. this will work for a human rights organisation based in lahore. they've been supporting qandeel baloch's parents, and are king ensure that this case is quickly concluded. they will push for a higher court to speed things up. we wanted to basically sets and president. if a father wanted to get his unpunished, because what he did, so his unpunished, because what he did, so why not support an? in the beginning there were very passionate and energetic, and then they knew that the justice will get done very quickly. but nothing like that and slowly and gradually, and urges and

passion gradually turned into frustration. it is the same case with us. we are very frustrated with why the cases delayed so much. like why the cases delayed so much. like why two gears? this is notjust one story. just imagine what happens with the ordinary cases every day. you know? like, thousands and thousands of cases are pending, take adjournments, and, like, there is a justice committee no? for years and yea rs justice committee no? for years and years people are just, justice committee no? for years and years people arejust, like, they arejust years people arejust, like, they are just like, years people arejust, like, they arejust like, go to years people arejust, like, they are just like, go to the courts, years people arejust, like, they arejust like, go to the courts, and nothing happens. they are considered by the reports that qandeel baloch's pa rents a re by the reports that qandeel baloch's parents are changing their mind about the case. they are worried that if the parents withdraw their testimony, the case could be dismissed entirely. two years ago, the parents wanted

their son to be executed. but now, they make a rather shocking statement to me. as well as saying that wasim is innocent, they now no longer agree with the federal law against honour crimes. it seems that in rural pakistan, despite the new law, the centuries—old tradition of honour killing is still seeing as legitimate. —— still seen. this lawyer is represented the family. he comes from the same area as her pa rents, comes from the same area as her parents, and pastry representing them, not for money, but out of local loyalty. he is making the case that wasim, a jobless drug addict, was coerced into carrying out the murder. so despite what was said two yea rs murder. so despite what was said two years ago, the family now same that

wasim was at innocent party in the murder of his sister will stop i wa nt to murder of his sister will stop i want to ask police whether it was possible that wasim was innocent, and whether this crime really was an honour killing. the trial of qandeel baloch's accused murderers drags on. wasim is in jail accused murderers drags on. wasim is injail planning accused murderers drags on. wasim is in jail planning his accused murderers drags on. wasim is injail planning his innocence. hypervisor is applying to the high court to jail. but the mufti, his cousin, and three others accused of helping conceal the crime are free for now. it seems that qandeel baloch is as controversial in death she was in life. it is easy to understand a mother's

love and nipple of local custom, but for many in pakistan, it is more important that qandeel ‘s law is applied and there is finallyjustice for qandeel baloch. hello.

some of us got to see sunshine on friday but for many more the day was spent under cloud shrouded in mist and murk. but as we progress through the weekend, more and more of us will see that sunshine. with that though, it will start to turn chilly. high pressure anchored across the heart of europe, winds moving high pressure around in a clockwise direction, that gives us a south—easterly wind which will bring us some dry air. watch the cloud, it starts to break up. we will see more and more sunshine. let's look at that in more detail. a lot of cloud, some mist and murk and fog to start the day, the odd spot of drizzle. east anglia and the south—east first to emerge into brightness, northern scotland seeing some brightness, the cloud retreating westwards during the day, more and more of us see those blue skies overhead, so by lunchtime devon and cornwall and west wales might still have some cloud but for east wales, the midlands,

east anglia and the south—east there should be some sunshine. similar story for north—west england. north—east england and eastern scotland, particularly around higher ground, may well keep more cloud. it will take awhile to brighten up across northern ireland, but western and northern scotland will see some sunshine. temperatures around 11 or 12 degrees, but a noticeable easterly breeze particularly in the south, making it feel cooler than that. into early sunday with clear skies overhead, it is going to be a cool night, probably too much of a breeze to allow things to get really cold, but your towns and cities will get down to 11—5 degrees, maybe just a bit colder than that in the countryside. getting on into sunday it is a beautiful looking day for most of us, we will see plenty of sunshine, still perhaps some cloud at times feeding into some of the eastern slopes of the pennines, parts of eastern scotland, and those temperatures, 9—12, just subtly creeping downwards. a sign of what is to come, because going into the start of the new working week, high pressure will still be sitting here, those winds moving clockwise, but that will introduce some colder air from the east and that will also bring back the cloud. more cloud around on monday, perhaps the odd spot of drizzle, still a keen breeze particularly in the south, and the coldest feel will be in southern areas.

single digits here, we may get to 10 degrees for belfast and glasgow, but it does look decidedly chilly into the middle part of the week. there will be cloud and the odd spot of drizzle, and over high ground maybe just a flake or two of something wintry. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. i'm reged ahmad. our top stories: reports in the us that the cia believes saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman ordered the assassination of journalist jamal khashoggi, in istanbul. more than a thousand people now reported as missing in california's deadliest wildfire. 71 people are confirmed to have died. it's thought many of the missing are elderly. written, but not submitted. president trump says he's finished writing his answers to questions posed by the mueller inquiry into alleged russian
