hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. president trump says he won't take action against saudi arabia, even if the crown prince knew about the murder ofjamal khashoggi. he says this is all about america first. as a caravan of migrants heads to america, a san franciscojudge rules against the white house — saying people can apply for asylum in the us even if they enter the country illegally. a suicide bomb attack on a meeting of religious scholars in the afghan capital kabul kills dozens of people. and a dead whale washes up on the shores of indonesia with six kgs of plastic in its stomach. we'll get more details on that. donald trump has released a statement effectively saying the us will take no action against saudi arabia over the death of the dissident journalist jamal khashoggi.

the whole thing is titled — america first! and in it, the president says "it could very well be that the crown prince had knowledge of this tragic event — maybe he did and maybe he didn't!" remember, the washington post last week reported that the cia thinks he did. but the president has form on dismissing us intelligence‘s findings — injuly, he dismissed their claims that russia meddled in the 2016 election. donald trump went on to say "the united states intends to remain a steadfast partner of saudi arabia to ensure the interests of our country." he also spoke about half an hour ago. it will see how that all works out, it's a very complex situation and it's a very complex situation and it's a very complex situation and it's a shame but it is what it is. this isn't just about jamal khashoggi. here's our washington bureau chief paul danahar. this statement is basically the trump

administration issuing saudi arabia a blank cheque in the middle east. it's a profound change in policy. however for once we can also probably say the united states‘ public posture on the saudi's is accurately reflecting the private one." not long after the statement was released, secretary of state mike pompeo spoke. it isa it is a mean and nasty world out there. the middle east in particular. there are important american interest to keep the american interest to keep the american people safe to protect americans and not only americans who are here but americans were travelling and working in doing business in the middle east. it's the president's obligation and the state department as well to ensure we have policies that further america's national security. the united states will continue to have

a relationship with the kingdom of saudi arabia. there are important partner of ours. donald trump's statement took aim at iran — and the country's foreign minister was quick to respond mr trump bizarrely devotes the first paragraph of his shameful statement on saudi atrocities to accuse iran of every sort of malfeasance he can think of. perhaps we're also responsible for the california fires, because we didn't help rake the forests just like the finns do?" decidedly unimpressed. here's lyce doucet in riyadh. some people saying this is not so much a change in policy asjust america saying out loud what it has done for some time, what would you say to that? i think from the very beginning even since donald trump ran for election of the united states the saudi is a saw in him an ally, are very important strategic

partner. i was here shortly after president trump came to power and whatever the criticisms across the muslim world president trump a man that we can deal with, you may not like him but he speaks the truth and i think tonight there will be very relieved that he has come out and in effect he's embraced their narrative that khashoggi to my they regarded him to use donald trump's words, an enemy of the state. a member of the muslim brotherhood and even a president trump still has cast doubt saying may be prince was part of it and maybe he wasn't, he has, squarely behind saudi arabia. i mean successive american administrations have emphasised the relationship with saudi arabia that is central to the american approach to middle east but if you compare it to president barack obama for example one of the m essa 9 es barack obama for example one of the messages he gave to saudi arabia was

that you have to share the region with iran. that was hugely upsetting for the saturdays and his pursuit in nuclear deal. saudi arabia fell deeply left out and angry and now here they have president trump who began this extraordinary statement which was supposed to be about saudi arabia but instead it begins accusing iran of creating this very dangerous world which means the united states has to stand with its allies and greatest of all in his words is saudi arabia. we see in other countries expressed profound concern about the murder. germany francis is reviewing it and arms sales to saudi arabia. doesn't that make a difference so long as america is lining up alongside the powers that be? welcome look at all the attention everyone is giving to what president trump is saying about this relationship. that's certainly what matters here in saudi arabia and the

region. who are the main powers now and they're working so closely in concert and particularly over they see and president trump said again tonight as the main thread and that's the threat posed by iran. we have the defect of power here from saudi arabia and the crown prince. the prime minister of israel and donald trump in the white house. absolutely at one in terms of what policies they want to pursue in the region. whether it comes to fighting against iran or the oil market and president trump again emphasise how much money and arms deals he was getting from saudi arabia. the statement from president trump was very much about his worldview and in that worldview saudi arabia matters. even though he called the murder of jahmal khashoggi a horrible act is not so horrible he would do anything to change this important strategic partnership. thank you very much. donald trump is

releva nt to thank you very much. donald trump is relevant to the first three stories will cover today. it talked about mr khashoggi and a number of issues connected to migrate to america in a moment. but let's turn to ivanka trump. ivanka trump used a personal email account to send hundreds of messages discussing official white house business last year. remember, she's not just the president's daughter, she's a senior advisor too. the washington post broke the story. it reports that ivanka trump's lawyer says she sent the emails before she was briefed on the rules. you might be surprised she wasn't familiar with them. during the presidential campaign in 2016, again and again and again, donald trump accused hillary clinton of putting the us "in danger" by using her private email while secretary of state. moments like this. criminal action was willful,

deliberate, intentional and purposeful. hillary set up an illegal server for the obvious purpose of shielding her criminal conduct from public disclosure and exposure. it's notjust ivanka trump. her husband jared kushner is also a presidential advisor. he sent a hundred work—related emails on a private server. we already knew that other senior administration officials such as steve bannon and reince priebus used gmail for government work. here's what white house press secretary sarah sanders said at the time last year. very limited white house counsels instructed all white house staff to use government e—mail for official business and only use that e—mail. vice president mike pence tweeted this back in 2016 ".@realdonaldtrump and i commend the fbi for reopening an investigation into clinton's personal email server because no one is above the law." well, a campaign group called

american oversight made the discovery about ivanka trump. it says "the president's family is not above the law, and there are serious questions that congress should immediately investigate." and "in discussion with a senior democratic hill official, the view of the ivanka emails is that the volume may be different than clinton's, but the alleged violation of law would very likely be the same from a presidential records act standpoint and if there was classified info sent." number of interesting issues playing out here. anthony zurcher, washington. what kind of a difficult situation for this white house. based on what you showed their donald trump's co nsta nt you showed their donald trump's constant criticisms of hillary clinton in the campaign trail and if you talk to conservatives they will draw a distinction that the main problem with hillary clinton's used

was that she may have transmitted classified information over that and no this point that ivanka trump was transmitting classified information. the reality is that it was a violation of policy and a violation of record—keeping laws because everything conducted in an official capacity has to be recorded and kept for posterity through a congressional law and the record—keeping act. it's going to be an uncomfortable situation for them andi an uncomfortable situation for them and i imagine you will see congressional investigations and these e—mails can be made public like they were for hillary clinton and that in itself was an ongoing embarrassing political situation for her. and if there was a correctional investigation what's the worst—case scenario for ivanka trump your? conceivably an investigation could refer her to prosecution from the justice department for violating the record—keeping act. that seems

unlikely but i think the bigger concerns are political fallout and that there are charges of hypocrisy that there are charges of hypocrisy that it could reveal embarrassing e—mails that she might have sent and is not legal necessarily implications. donald trump's plan to deny asylum hearings to some migrants who enter the us has been stopped by a federal judge — for the moment at least. for weeks now we've been telling you about thousands of migrants who are walking through central america — with the us border as their desination. they're from honduras, guatemala and el salvador — and they say they're fleeing persecution, poverty and violence. you may well remember, president trump had plenty to say about migrants — and about the caravan — in the mid—terms campaign. for example. but they have overrun the mexican police and overrun and hurt badly mexican soldiers. so this is not

innocent group of people. it's a large number of people that are tough. and vote for democrats is a vote to liquidate america's borders and the votes to let fentanyl, harrowing and other deadly drugs pour harrowing and other deadly drugs poui’ across our harrowing and other deadly drugs pour across our borders. not long after that — the president signed a declaration saying that cases would not be heard, unless people crossed the border at designated points. the white house said it was "using the authority granted to us by congress" to enforce the declaration for 90 days. many disputed that. he absolutely does not have the authority from congress. covers me very clear that what the law provides in this country is that you can apply for asylum whether you are ata can apply for asylum whether you are at a port of entry or not. what he is doing is trying to erase the law

with a stroke of a presidential pen. these in fact, three civil rights groups took the matter to court — and they've won. the judge called the president's proclamation an "extreme departure" from usual procedures. and added "whatever the scope of the president's authority, he may not rewrite the immigration laws to impose a condition that congress has expressly forbidden." this ruling comes into effect immediately — until a further hearing next month will rule definitively. well, here's the federal response. ajoint statement from the department of homeland security and the department of justice department reads: "it is absurd that a set of advocacy groups can be found to have standing to sue to stop the entire federal government from acting so that illegal aliens can receive a government benefit to which they are not entitled." meanwhile — this is what's actually happening with the caravan. so far around 3,000 have so far arrived in tijuana — that's a mexican city right on the us border.

that number may go up to 10,000 in the coming weeks and the mayor is saying already shelters are struggling to cope. we've also seen anti—migrant protests in tijuana. this was over the weekend. residents there are worried the border will be closed, which will affect trade. and remember how just before the mid—terms, president trump deployed over 5,000 troops to the border — as a specific response to the caravan. well according to this article by politico, they'll be home for christmas — and won't be replaced. we knew it was political — and with the political imperative gone, so are the troops. will grant has been travelling with the caravan — he's live in tijuana. thank you forjoining us. what has

happened when people arrive in the city? where they staying? the majority are ending up here which is a sportscenter and just literally a stone throw from the border with the united states. it will be incredibly tantalising for them to be in such of their ultimate destination every morning when they wake up, and they are being housed in tents and makeshift accommodations and many of them have brought tarps with them. he mentioned the protest that took place in the city over the weekend as well the migrants have complained themselves and they say they're not getting proper food themselves and they say they're not getting properfood or the support that eight received further south in mexico. in process of the terms now how will they get into america?

mostar really deciding their next step and waiting for the full ca rava n step and waiting for the full caravan to arrival. we still think it's a good couple of thousands yet to get here which will put more strain on this city after the mayor's comments. and they divide into three categories. i think the first is those that are going to go straight through the official channels looking to get asylum. they believe they have a sufficient claim andi believe they have a sufficient claim and i might be a death threat in central america and victims of domestic violence and eight gangplank or something that they think they can get asylum for. 0thers think they can get asylum for. others may choose to settle here in tijuana itself and others still may choose to cross illegally somewhere else along the border in the coming weeks and months. thank you very much indeed. live reports from tijuana and mexico right on the border with the us and live reports from syria. from as

border with the us and live reports from as the burger will go a long we'll have a full update for you on brexit as well. prince william has talked frankly about feeling very sad and down at times whilst working for the air ambulance. the prince was talking at a conference aimed at improving mental health in the workplace and referred to attending one particularly traumatic accident involving a child that, in his words, "took him over the edge". i worked several times on a very traumaticjobs involving i worked several times on a very traumatic jobs involving children. after i had my own children i think the relation between the job and the personal life is what really took me over the edge and i started feeling things i never felt over the edge and i started feeling things i neverfelt before over the edge and i started feeling things i never felt before and over the edge and i started feeling things i neverfelt before and i got very sad, very down about this particularfamily very sad, very down about this particular family and i very sad, very down about this particularfamily and i think very sad, very down about this particular family and i think you start to take away bits of the job and you keep them in your body. of course you don't want to share that

with your loved ones because you don't want to bring it home. if you don't want to bring it home. if you don't have the right tools and right environment at work and you can see why things snowball and get quite bad. this is 0utside source live from the bbc newsroom. 0ur lead story is. president trump says he won't take action against saudi arabia, even if the crown prince knew about the murder ofjamal khashoggi. he says this is all about america first. britain is leading a final attempt to stop an alleged former kgb agent from taking over as the head of interpol. alexander prokopchuk, a veteran of russia's interior ministry, is the favourite to be elected as the next president of the police co—operation body when delegates vote on wednesday. bbc russian. italian prosecutors have ordered the seizure of a charity—run migrant rescue ship called aquarius.

they allege it illegally dumped 2a tonnes of potentially toxic waste in its ports. medecins sans frontieres runs the boar and says the accusations are unfounded and sinister. remember the italian government has been critical of these rescue ships. bbc afrique. in chicago, six people plummeted 84 floors inside a lift. this happened in a skyscraper that was known for a long time as the hancock centre. fortunately there were no serious injuries — but some of the group have said they thought they were going to die. fire officials reportedly said that a snapped "hoist rope" caused the fall. it's been a turbulent time on the us markets — with tech stocks leading the way down. samira hussainjoins us from new york. if you look at the tech stocks that have really been hit there looking

at things like apple, amazon, google, facebook. as a few factors playing into this with regards to apple and amazon these are companies that are really consumer focused and the big reason for theirfalls that are really consumer focused and the big reason for their falls are the big reason for their falls are the trade war between the us and china. it hit a bit of a snafu over the weekend. when we saw that the two were meeting at the summit of the pacific rim. there was a bit of a standoff between the two so now any sort of hopes that there could be some resolution to the trade war the very near future sort of seems off. with regards to the companies like facebook and google was a lot of that there's going to more regulation imposed on some of the social media companies. that was already worries about security breaches and privacy concerns a lot of investors are bracing themselves for potential regulations to come. it's being reported that carlos ghosn has been replaced

as chairman of renault, following his arrest by police in japan over financial misconduct allegations. the board of japanese company nissan has already said they'll remove him as chairman of their firm. our business reporter leisha santorelli joins us now. this was inevitable, was it? that is not necessarily expect him to be ousted at the emergency board meeting but it appears that they are holding off on making any permanent moves. they've installed according to reports and interim chairman and this is so up, up in a director and he also heads the ethics committee which is clearly much needed right now in terms of image and the chief operating officer is going to do the day—to—day running of the company as

the chief executive. the reason is that they want more information. they do not have proof or any access to all of this information from the internal investigation that nissan dead that would have access to that over they make a decision. he's important guy but they can continue it will not have an immediate impact on the sale strategies or is it? according to the financial times he was actually looking to spearhead a merger with nissan. they owe more than 40% stake in nissan but it's very strongly opposed to that move. the chief executives also come out and said so but this has not been confirmed. that would have set up a really big power struggle between the french and japanese groups. this is clearly a driving force at nissan and with this global alliance.

currently with the scandal unfolding the number one priority is preserving this global auto alliance and given its impact on the markets but the french and japanese say they wa nt to but the french and japanese say they want to make sure it is stable but ultimately it seems as though there may have been a power struggle between the chief executives who used to be a very loyal lieutenant and his vision of possibly having a merger between nissan. want to talk about this whale. more evidence of the harm plastic is doing to our world. this dead sperm whale found in a national park in indonesia had almost 6kg of plastic waste in its stomach. the world wildlife fund in indonesia posted this image showing the contents of its stomach. it says it found 19 pieces of hard plastic, four plastic bottles, 25 plastic bags, two flip—flops, 115 plastic cups, and almost

three—and—a—half kilos of string. here's more from shivani dave. what was so special or unique about this was the fact that they could actually work out what was in the stomach of this whale so that there was over 100 cups and there was cou ntless was over 100 cups and there was countless carrier bags and a pair of flip flops that they found. it was the fact that they can these individual items that had been so clearly put in the ocean by people. and this was done in indonesia, would we expect to spend most of his time in around it in asia? do we know where the plastic was taken in? there is ocean currents as if you drop pudsey in the ocean off the coast of britain could end up somewhere near indiana. but indonesia is one of five countries

that contributes to 60% of the worlds plastic pollution in the ocean. it has pledged to try to reduce that by 2025 by about 70% but it is likely the plastic came from somewhere around that region as opposed to having travelled all across the oceans. the reason it's getting so much attention is because plastic more generally as an issue is getting a level of coverage that even two years ago would have been unimaginable. precisely. the bbc coverage that blue planet and things like that people more aware of wildlife issues as they enjoy animal stories usually and people seem to be more and more conscious of the way that we are treating the environment. i will be back with you ina environment. i will be back with you in a couple of minutes. hello there. it is thanksgiving in

the us this thursday and so i thought i would look ahead to what the weather will bring particularly as we have been talking about those disastrous wildfires across the californian coastline. in some ways this is welcome news because they're going to see some rain but would be pretty heavy and it will come in quite a short space of time so there could be an issue with localised flash flooding or mudslides. the same time its area of high from canada is spilling bitterly cold air across canada and the eastern seaboard and it will push as far south as atlanta, georgia and even parts of texas will see temperatures a little more subdued than they should be for this time of year. the wintry showers across new york state but not amounting too much. a good slice of dry and fine weather through the spine of north america and will see temperatures in sentences go to the mid teens. new york right around 6 degrees per getting colder still. thursday's

thanksgiving and images below freezing in new york. bitterly cold but sunny in washington but rain for san francisco and for seattle. stay with the theme of rain but heavier rainfall affecting south asia at the moment and so sri lanka and parts seeing heavy rain is to be the story for the next 20 for hours at least some of that rain will be quite intense. for the north and west will be quite dry to mid 30s and many of oui’ be quite dry to mid 30s and many of our major cities will reflect that you could see that sharp showers continue. let's move away from south asia and we need to talk about a tropical depression that's moving its way through the philippines at the moment. the one hot on its heels that were not too concerned about that. this will bring heavy rains to the southern philippines and potential for localised flooding. we will continue to track and potential and not lose that much intensity so it could bring heavy rain fall to the southern shores of vietnam. want to keep in mind that. we have seen

pretty cold weather but quite dry across eastern and northern europe but the same time stormy weather has moving its way out of italy through the balkans and moving away towards southwestern parts of turkey and a quite a spell of whether the middle parts of the week across spain and portugal and still showers but not the heavy rain that brought the localised flooding to parts of southern spain that we had earlier on in the week. dry and unsettled but still pretty chilly across much of france in the uk up at the low countries scandinavia and russia with the temperatures struggling to climb above freezing. so it does look as though things will getjust a little bit more mild for london and it does stay largely dry and a detailed forecast for the uk coming up detailed forecast for the uk coming up very shortly. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is 0utside source. president trump says he won't take action against saudi arabia, even if the crown prince knew about the murder ofjamal khashoggi. he says this is all about america first. a suicide bomb attack on a meeting

of religious scholars in the afghan capital kabul kills dozens of people. as a caravan of migrants heads to america, a san franciscojudge rules against the white house — saying people can apply for asylum in the us even if they enter the country illegally. a suicide bomb attack in afghanistan has killed at least 43 people. it happened in kabul — and is the deadliest attack there for months. the target was a gathering of religious scholars at a function hall near to the airport. this is footage taken just before the attack. the event was to mark the birthday

of the prophet muhammad. the bomber headed into the centre of the hall, and then eyewitnesses say that there was a deafening explosion. around 1,000 people were in the complex. and this is the aftermath. this is inside the uranus hall after the attack. without showing you some of the more difficult footage to watch, you can see the damage. this isjust outside — you can see a heavy police presence. and this is the hospital where the wounded were taken — some, we understand, are in critical condition. we are told some of them remained in critical condition. so far noone has admitted responsibility for the attack, though a taliban spokesman has denied it was involved. here's the bbc‘s auliya atrafi in kabul. these scholars were celebrating

the day when prophet muhammad, the muslim prophet was born and he departed this world. so it is normally a nonpolitical gathering with people. it is a reflective mood in these gatherings, and people talk about what we can learn from his life, and then explosion happens and rapidly the death toll rises, at the moment we know 43 people have been killed, 83 injured, and and the condition of at least 2a injured is said to be critical. normally we see the local islamic state group attacking shia gatherings, but this being a gathering of muslim scholars has shocked everyone, because it is very unusual. the afghan president called it an act against islam and humanity, and at the moment all eyes are on social media to see

who claims responsibility. airbnb says it will stop renting out homes in israeli settlements in the occupied west bank. it says that's because the settlements are at the "core of the dispute between israelis and palestinians". at the moment, if i search aianb for, say, the israeli settlement of dolev in the west bank, i get a full page of listings. we're told those listings are going. now this is the historical background to this story. israel captured the west bank in the six day war in 1967. and its estimated that now, more than 600,000 israelis live in around 140 settlements, like this one in alon. these are considered illegal under international law. israel is threatening legal action. israel says it will support legal

action against airbnb, this is the reason why. this decision is something completely unacceptable. this is pure discrimination, something that is taken only against the jews that are living in judea and samaria. this is actually a racist decision, and more than that, i do believe that it is a double standard that is taken only against israel, only againstjews who live here in the land of israel. of course palestinians are offering a different view. of course we very much welcome this decision, and we believe that this decision is very, very important. we hope that all companies, all travel companies will do the same as soon as possible. here's yollande knell injerusalem. this decision is interesting in the timing, because it came just ahead of the publication of a very damning report by human rights watch

and an israeli partner organisation, which looked very much of this issue of accommodation that is being provided in israeli settlements in the occupied west bank. settlements of course are seen as illegal under international law, although israel disputes about, and to be israeli tourism minister -- israel disputes that, and the israeli tourism minister has really come out accusing airbnb of taking a political decision, saying that he will support settlers who are affected by this to try to launch a lawsuit against airbnb in the us. he's saying as well that he will reintroduce a scheme to boost short—term rentals in the settlements, and also he says that he's looking at ways to limit airbnb's activities inside israel as well. 0n the other hand, the palestinians, they've actually been calling officials for this, for something to be done for a couple of years now. they've criticised airbnb very much for allowing properties to advertise themselves as being in israel,

when actually they are in the settlements, and so they have said they welcome this as a positive initial step. would give you a daily brexit update. —— would give you your daily brexit update. the prime minister's chaired the first meeting of her new cabinet since a series of ministerial resignations last week. these two went last week — she's still in post. so far we know of more than 20 mps who have submitted letters to unseat her — but short of the 48 needed. no sooner had she seen off that threat — for now — another one loomed. the democratic unionist party on whose support her government depends for a majority in parliament last night chose to abstain on a vote — that vote

was actually about the budget — but the dup's brexit spokesman made clear it was a shot across the prime minister's bows. the government had been very hostile to the people of northern ireland, breaking all of the promises which were made about not separating us from the united kingdom, not breaking us up economically from our biggest market in gb, and not honouring the terms of the brexit agreement, which they had with us, and that was very, very clear. i mean, the prime minister has broken her promise to her own mps, to her own the electorate and to ourselves, and that was part of the agreement. that having been broken, we had to send a political message to the prime minister. this is how vital dup support is to theresa may. for her brexit agreement to happen, she needs to win a vote in parliament by the end

of the year. lined up against her — the opposition labour party and scottish national party both say they will oppose it. so will most of the others. on their own, the conservatives don't have a majority — they also need these 10 seats, belonging to the dup, for that. but that might not be enough. this conservative bloc of 316 seats is as we know, hardly solidly behind her — there are a few dozen hard brexiteers who are likely to vote against. one of them today said more mps could still come out against her. talking to people privately, it is very hard to find anybody who wishes to see theresa may remain the leader of the party at the next general election. i would give you that as a challenge.

go and see if you can find half a dozen tory mps who don't hold ministerial office, who want to say that they would like her to be the leader at the next general election and actually mean it. it's not just parliament, the other 27 eu countries will have to agree the deal too and today one of them spain put that in doubt. their issue is with gibralar, a territory owned by britain which they want back — although the people there want to remain in the uk. the spanish prime minister said talks on gibraltar had to be "separate negotiations" to the withdrawal agreement or else — he'd block it. it has to be something defined, negotiated and agreed by the united kingdom and spain. that is not

guaranteed in the draft brexit deal. asa guaranteed in the draft brexit deal. as a consequence today i regret to say that if there are no changes, the pro—european government like spain's would vote no. ireland's prime minister had this to say to anyone who'd like to change the withdrawal agreeement — be they spain, or british brexiteers: "it is not a draft text, it is now the text and it is not going to be reopened". that's one thing theresa may and jean claude juncker the president of the european commssion are likely to agree on, when she goes to brussels tomorrow. jonathan blake is in westminister. help me out here. given that neither of these to want to change the deal, what precisely are they going to be talking about? the final point contained within, i think they are both, the uk and that you, keen to stress that this deal is pretty much done all bar the signing on the dotted line. that is the withdrawal agreement part. there is a little more wiggle room when it comes to

the political declaration, which set out in much less detail form, that is only a few pages long compared to the 500 odd pages of the withdrawal agreement. this political declaration which set out probably where both sides see the future relationship —— sets out broadly, the future relationship between the uk and the eu taking shape, and that is much less certain. we have seen this week demands by certain members of the government made in private to theresa may for things that she must have seek to get in that declaration asa have seek to get in that declaration as a statement of intent, if you like, to point to those people back here at westminster who are unhappy with what the government has done so far that the longer—term prize will be worth waiting for and be worth stomaching the withdrawal agreement, which has been so heavily criticised and has been so difficult for many people here to accept. so, there is a bit of wiggle room as far as the

eu and uk are concerned about that, but i would not expect it to change hugely between now and then, but then again you do have 27 governments, 27 member states and the uk as well, and as you heard there are there are several points on which certain countries are wanting changes already, namely on theissue wanting changes already, namely on the issue of gibraltar as you heard and also the issue of goods and how they will be regulated in both the uk in the future. also, the issue of fisheries and how much access the french particularly but other eu countries will have to uk waters. plenty still up for grabs. jonathan, thank you very much. the team in brussels will keep us up—to—date on how that meeting goes. let me just end with these pictures of, larry the downing street cat. a big celebrity in his own right. this was earlier today — another rainy day here in london, we've been having a few of these lately. he got stuck in a downpour

on the steps of number 10 downing street earlier, hoping someone would let him inside to dry off his fur. thankfully, in the end, a police officer came to his aid. plenty of information on brexit including if you want to see that video online. still to come... police in the italian capital seize eight villas built illegally by a mafia clan. they say they'll be demolished. we have the details. staying for the moment with brexit — as it draws closer, our reporters have been across the country trying to find out how it's affecting people's lives. here's one report from cornwall. taking the temperature on brexit. dave bond has been fishing here 42 years. he's less than impressed.

i would rather see a hard brexit than what is on the table at the moment. he says theresa may's draft agreement‘s left fishing in limbo as a separate deal is needed on access to eu fishing in uk waters. there is no finality about fishing. we don't know anything, any result from the fishing side of it, and obviously our futures depend on that. jim candy has farmed 32 years in the area, and now helps other local farmers. for him, ending up with no deal would make the brexit ride even bumpier. and that is the last thing farmers want to see. i think there isjust still too much uncertainty. farmers are not going to invest unless they know what is going to happen in the long term. farming is a long—term industry. if you put a cow in calf, you don't sell the beef animal for three years after that, so you are not going to invest in new buildings, because we don't know what is down the road.

jim would like the chance of a people's vote. i think may has tried to do the impossible, and now it is coming home to roost. james ferguson runs a company from liu and is part of the cornwall chamber of commerce, so, how are businesses locally feeling? if they're looking at things that are in this agreement that will increase costs and increase barriers for us, then it is the wrong deal. but if that is all there is, you think, get on with it. yes, the one thing businesses need is a certainty. they cannot make plans, they cannot adjust their finances or their workforce if they don't know what is happening a few years down the line. three different views, but with one message for westminster — end the uncertainty. 0ur lead story is:

police in rome have seized eight villas built illegally by a mafia clan. they're in a south—eastern suburb called quadraro. these are police pictures showing the raid. it's alleged this property belongs to a leader of the casa—monica clan. the mayor of rome says the villas were built without permission and will now be demolished. this tweet from italian magazine wired translates: "rolex on the wrist, luxury cars, faucets strictly in gold: welcome to the world of casamonica." and that world is under pressure. over 33 alleged members of the clan were arrested injuly. a picture from while the raid was happening. italy's interior minister matteo salvini and rome's mayor virginia raggi were at the scene — which tells you this was political. sara monetta. it was mostly a propaganda move. to

show people that they're actually doing something, that they are delivering on the promises that they will be on crime above all organised crime because there have been some allegations surrounding him in the 5—star movement that they have been too soft or too friendly with some certain members of the organised crime in italy, so now they want to show that those are just rumours and that actually fighting against the mafia bosses. weather today was a pr stu nt mafia bosses. weather today was a pr stunt or not, a few to save the authorities are taking on the mafia in way that is stronger and more effective than perhaps has happened in the past. we need to consider from one side how it is portrayed, and how it is prepared. this whole operation has been prepared for ten months in the making. italy has a very good police force when it comes

to countering mafia activities. they have been undercover, underground for years, so these operations that we see at the end of a long period of time, this is actually the work that has been in the making for months if not years. so, on one side, yes, the fact that they say they want to help police do their job better is helping, but on the other side we need to consider that the real workers, the real booth on the real workers, the real booth on the ground have been there for longer than these politicians have been around. this might be the first time we have talked about planning permission in the suburbs of rome, but there may be some viewers baking how can you build large mansions in a huge famous city without permission and no one complained at the time? ahlquist there is political corruption. 0ne the time? ahlquist there is political corruption. one thing the mayor of rome said today that it actually true is that the calf and monica had been able to build a parallel state, a state within the state, and they were actually managing people. they were

protecting for instance shopkeepers. they were organising their own businesses, and before he came into power, there have been in the past some mayors of rome who are very friendly with the casamonica, so they have had a blind eye, maybe even to to them going on, and expanding that empire. we have seen what kind of things were inside these houses. this isjust the tip of the iceberg of what they could do. everyday on outside doors we bring you the essential information on the biggest story throughout the world. we have reported from all over and next we turn to ethiopia. on one hand positive stories — a peace deal ending a long war with its neighbour eritrea, and a new prime minister reforming the country. but there's also considerable violence and huge flows of people — these are some of the latest pictures. the new prime minister has come in

and allowed work political freedom than we have previously seen. some of the latest pictures to come in from ethiopia. according to the norwegian refugee council, 200,000 people have been displaced since july alone. it says more families are arriving every day into already overcrowded camps without enough food or sanitation. the charity says aid is badly needed. when i was in the camps earlier this month, i was speaking to a lot of the residents and some of the community leaders, and they were telling me that yes, we have had children die from measles, from malnutrition, from diarrhoea. there we re eve n malnutrition, from diarrhoea. there were even some deaths from snake bites from women who had been leaving the camp to go out to collect wood and then because there was no anti—venom available they did not survive. so, health care is in

urgent need in these camps as well, and we are urging the international community to respond and bring more aid to help these people. 200,000 people have been displaced just sincejuly. it's mainly been people from ethiopia's largest ethnic group the 0romo who have fled this area in the south of the country because of clashes with another ethnic group, the somali. the fighting has mainly been on the border between the two regions. here's a numberjust to give you a sense of the scale of this conflict — 700,000 people — that's how many are now displaced. if you want any more on this then you can of course turn to the bbc website this article will fill you in. and here's someone else who is always worth listening to, this analysis is from the bbc‘s emmanuel igunza, in addis ababa. ethiopia is battling several ethnic conflict in several areas. there is that conflict that we just

mentioned between the somalis, ethnic somalis and the 0romo. also there is conflict in the east of the country in the south. this pocket of ethnic conflicts are really worrying the country, and in particular the challenge that is facing the new prime minister who has brought so much reform in the country, is how to deal with these long—term grievances that have been going on for a long time. issues about border conflicts, issues about the conflict on pasture and water points, and so he has to deal with these issues and already we have seen the government has already begun the processes of setting up a border commission that will deal with these historical conflicts. but also he's dealing with more immediate problem, and that is the problem of ethnic incitement. we have seen several people being arrested because of allegedly inciting the conflict that we have seen in parts of the country, but the government seems to be really trying to deal with this issue, because it is quite a big concern. we have seen hundreds of people losing their lives, and we've also seen the initiatives

the government is trying to make, but so far this remains one of the biggest challenges for the prime minister. the international space station is 20 years old today — a major milestone in its planned 30 year mission. its first component was launched on this day, in 1998, from the cosmodrome in kazakhstan, move with the second part launched by nasa two weeks later. in total, 16 nations have been involved in its construction. let me give you some stats. in length it is 357ft long — around the length of your average football field. it is the single most expensive object the world has ever built at $150 billion. and astronaut spent 208 on board in 2015 and spoke to the bbc from toronto a little bit earlier. the spacewalks were 98% work. i have

never felt so busy. the spacewalks were 98% work. i have neverfelt so busy. you don't the spacewalks were 98% work. i have never felt so busy. you don't want to waste any time, it is very dangerous to be outside. i was plugging in cables and putting grease on bolts. the most mundane mechanical work you do on earth, and every once in a while i would stop and turn around and i would see a view that was like i was seeing creation from god's point of view, andi creation from god's point of view, and i was seeing things that humans we re and i was seeing things that humans were not meant to see, and it was this just were not meant to see, and it was thisjust a book were not meant to see, and it was this just a book —— juxtaposition of the blind and mundane that really surprise me. i didn't realise how powerful that would be. surprise me. i didn't realise how powerfulthat would be. see surprise me. i didn't realise how powerful that would be. see you tomorrow, goodbye. hello. if you thought tuesday was pulled across the uk spare a thought for the folks at northeast usa. looks like they want to be as cold as thanksgiving on record with this big dip in thejet

as thanksgiving on record with this big dip in the jet stream as thanksgiving on record with this big dip in thejet stream producing busily cold air to end the week and some snow. a look at the jet stream off the coast of north america, it splits were bifurcates, one goes north, the other on both south to the mediterranean where it is stormy. the other to the north early in the week was a looping right round high pressure and steaming right back into buk with that cold, strong easterly wind. that is less pronounced now. it will become a bit more settled over the next few days, but we still have a big area of cold air across us that will take some dislodging and that is the battle that takes place in next week's whether as we will see in a moment. we have —— we still have a bit of wet weather to get rid of their wednesday to parts of scotland, northern scotland, northern ireland turning increasingly dry and bright in england and wales with the showers, still quite windy across scotland, northern ireland, preventing the bells were that winds have eased a bit the until not such a factor for wednesday, but the temperatures are still rooted in single figures so it

is absolutely still chilly out there. notice going into wednesday evening we will get rid of most of the remaining wet weather. under clear skies with the wind continuing to use down will be widespread frost into thursday morning before on thursday crowd increases from the east, could see a bit of patchy rain eased in scotland in northeast england, sunshine becoming increasingly limited and it will still feel chilly. it is a cold start and we get that increasing cloud. this is the picture to last as into the weekend, low pressure to the south of us, high pressure to the south of us, high pressure to the north, the uk cop between an east, southeasterly flow coming in but the isobars opening up a bit. the wind isn't as pronounced in with the dominance of high pressure being felt, a lot of fine weather, quite a lot of cloud friday again, some sunny spells, still quite damp breeze in scotland, could see a bit of sharon and wrinkles of the low— pressure of sharon and wrinkles of the low—pressure doors that are surplus the britain. gas bar southwest. low pressure will have an attempt over the weekend to bring abrasive rain across the southern and southeast england but still a lot of uncertainty about how that is going

to play out both saturday and sunday here have that in mind, that will be a possibility. still either showers or outbreaks of rain running into the use of scotland, and for most of us the use of scotland, and for most of us temperatures are still in single figures, bow river it is less chilly because it is less windy. the chance showerfor because it is less windy. the chance shower for outbreaks in southern england, not showing herejust means there still uncertainty about the prospects for that mainly dry elsewhere, single figure temperatures for most. as we know there is this pool of cold air accumulated over us. what will shift that? this area of low pressure will have a go deeper into next week. the first tab of the week high pressure, several mainly frosty nights. the low— pressure several mainly frosty nights. the low—pressure tries to come in later in the week, try to turn in more u nsettled in the week, try to turn in more unsettled once again, and less cold with the air coming in from the southwest but it is a very, very slow process. towards the end of the week we're still waiting for that to come in. note is this milder air poised to move in. it is going to ta ke poised to move in. it is going to take it's time onto this battle between mild air and cold air and

the high end of the low—pressure. it looks like probably the milder, more u nsettled looks like probably the milder, more unsettled weather will come in by the end of the week but there's a chanceit the end of the week but there's a chance it will not arrive by then. a smaller chance it will not even arrived at all and the cold air holds on. and that is the battle in the weather we are going to follow for you. tonight at ten... the state of the nhs. with no nation of the uk hitting key waiting time targets for a year. one in five local hospital services have failed to hit any of their waiting time targets for cancer, accident and emergency and routine operations. the nhs blames rising demand. we are getting more complex patients coming into our emergency department with long—term conditions and that is all adding to the volume and also the workforce is not there to actually deal with the problem. we talk to one of many families badly affected by the pressures on the nhs across the uk. i am very, very frustrated that my mum has not got the quality of life. she cannot do anything and she is just suffering. we'll have the detail and reaction, as ministers insist

the nhs is ready for the challenges of the winter months. also tonight... despite the murder of the saudi journalist, jamal khashoggi, president trump says the us will remain a steadfast
