a warm welcome to the programme, briefing you on all you need to know in global news, business and sport. and you can be part of the conversation. tell us what you think — just use the hashtag #bbcthebriefing. saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin salman has said he takes responsibility, as a leader of his country, for the murder of the journalist jamal khashoggi a year ago this week, but again denied he had ordered the killing. he was interviewed on cbs's 60 minutes programme. we'll have more from that in a moment. separately, two people who've listened to covert recordings of the killing of mr khashoggi

have described to the bbc what they heard. members of a un investigation team have told the bbc‘s panorama programme of the horror and shock of listening to his final moments. jane corbin has this report. a year ago, on the 2nd of october, jamal khashoggi vanished after entering the saudi consulate in istanbul. we only know what happened next because the consulate was bugged by turkish intelligence. you could hear them laughing. it's a sort of chilling business. they're waiting there, knowing that this man is going to come in and he is going to be murdered. british barrister, helena kennedy, is one of the very few people who have listened to the audio recordings of the journalist's death. the horror of listening to somebody‘s voice and the fear in someone‘s voice makes a shiver go through your body. baroness kennedy was invited to join

a team headed by agnes callamard, the un special rapporteur for extrajudicial killing, who negotiated access to the crucial tapes. the recordings reveal what happened to the journalist inside the consulate. he says, "am i being kidnapped?" "how could this happen in an embassy?" the sounds that are heard after that point indicate that he is suffocated, probably with a plastic bag. callamard's report concluded that the saudi state was responsible for the murder. the saudi government declined to give an interview to panorama but said it condemned the abhorrent killing, and it was committed to holding the perpetrators accountable. it said that the crown prince had absolutely nothing to do with what it called a "heinous crime". jane corbin, bbc news. for our viewers in the uk, panorama — the khashoggi murder tapes is on bbc one this monday at 8:30pm.

this was a mistake and i must take all actions to avoid such a thing in the future. how did you not know about this operation? translation: some think that i should know what 3 million people working for the saudi government do daily. it's impossible that the 3 million would send their daily reports to the leader or the second—highest person in the saudi government. the cia has concluded, with medium to high confidence, that you personally targeted khashoggi and you probably ordered his death. translation: i hope this information to be brought forward. if there is any such information that charges me, i hope it is brought forward publicly. what kind of threat is a newspaper columnist to the kingdom of saudi arabia that he would deserve to be brutally murdered? translation: there is no threat from any journalist. the threat to saudi arabia is from such actions against a saudi journalist. this heinous crime that took place

in a saudi consulate. that is crown prince mohammed bin salman speaking. let's brief you on some of the other stories making the news. in austria, the conservative people's party of the former chancellor, sebastian kurz, will start to build a coalition after they emerged as the biggest party in a general election. preliminary results suggest they've won around a third of the vote. the far—right freedom party has seen its support slump after a scandal in may. the democratic party chairman of the house intelligence committee has said he's determined to get access to president trump's phone calls with president putin and other world leaders. adam schiff has been leading the moves to get the president impeached following revelations about a phone call with his ukrainian counterpart. mr trump, in a series of posts on social media, said he wanted to meet the whistleblower whose identity has not been released. northern and north—eastern parts of india have been hit by severe floods triggered

by torrential rains. bihar and uttar pradesh have been particularly affected. dozens of people have lost their lives in uttar pradesh alone. the monsoon usually starts retreating at the start of september but has been delayed by a month this year. a private funeral service will be held later for the former french presidentjacques chirac. he died last week at the age of 86. over the weekend, thousands of people queued up in paris to pay their last respects to him. a national day of mourning with a minute of silence to be observed in all public institutions and schools will start the day's commemorations. four years after the ‘dieselgate' emissions cheating scandal, volkswagen finds itself in court today, facing compensation claims from thousands of car owners in germany.

around 450,000 people havejoined a first—of—its—kind group legal action, a case being watched by car owner elsewhere in europe who have —— owners elsewhere in europe who have plans for their own legal action. eileen burbidge, a partner at passion capital and a technology entrepreneurjoins me now. good morning. when this story broke, it was so shocking, i remember it well, and the ramifications were huge and it is still being felt by the car industry now. absolutely. i think it will carry on for years and yea rs, think it will carry on for years and years, so think it will carry on for years and years, so for vw, this is going to cost them dearly. it would be very interesting to see how this works out. as you say, people in the uk and europe were watching this case, but it could take years and years. it will definitely take years, even as early as february 2018, they first started making settlements and

they did with some us customers, about 500 thousand us customers were paid out about $25 billion. that was one of the very first. now, for european consumers, another 450,000 consumers affected, and two weeks ago the chief executive, the former chief executive and the nonexecutive chairman all accused of, charges brought against them for manipulation and fraud. it is coming toa manipulation and fraud. it is coming to a head, but what has to be proved in this case is whether vw drivers suffered economic loss or not. that is the kind of legal line they have two cross, as it were. actually, from the point of view of vw saying they haven't. that is what this case hinges on. there is apparently 50 questions that have to be answered, but the key one is whether they cause harm to these owners, and there are different questions about there are different questions about the value of the vehicle, resale value in terms of economic damage,

but also harm to oneself because of the readings of the emissions being different and fixed. it comes at a tough time because all the big carmakers globally are really struggling. for the german carmakers they have seen a massive drop off in sales in china. it isn'tjust exclusive to vw. this is having long—term ramifications and ripple effects throughout the automotive industry. thank you for now. you will be back later. we have all sorts to get our teeth stuck into in a news briefing. for now, let's bring you the latest in a situation in greece. a fire at an overcrowded refugee camp on the greek island of lesbos is reported to have killed two people. an angry crowd at the moria camp complained that firefighters had taken too long to tackle the blaze. extra police were sent to restore order. tim allman has the story. thick, billowing clouds of smoke

as part of this camp burns. somehow, one of the giant shipping containers that house many of the refugees here had caught fire. people ran for their lives, men, women and children, eyes burning from the noxious fumes. afterwards, you could see the destroyed remains of the container. some voiced their anger, accusing fire crews of taking too long to respond, but mostly, there was despair. look at the people here, fighting — look at that. look, there's fire, big fire, yeah, big fire — people are going to die. please, please, from everywhere, country, leave the people to go. the moria camp houses around 12,000 refugees, four times the number it was designed for. there has been a spike in numbers in recent months with 9,000 people arriving in august and more than 8,000 refugees coming in september so far.

by some estimates, almost a million people, many of them fleeing the syrian civil war, crossed from turkey to greece in 2015. then a deal was done between ankara and the european union and the number of refugees dropped dramatically. but now, that figure is ticking up once more and this fire shows the burden being placed on greece can be a heavy one. tim allman, bbc news. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: jamaica's shelly—ann fraser—pryce races into the record books, winning the women's 100 metres at the athletics world championships. in all russia's turmoil, it has never quite come to this. president yeltsin said the day would decide the nation's destiny. the nightmare that so many people had feared for so long is playing out its final act here.

russians are killing russians in front of a grandstand audience. it was his humility which produced affection from catholics throughout the world. but his departure is a tragedy for the catholic church. this man, israel's right winger, ariel sharon, visited the religious compound and that started the trouble. he wants israel alone to have sovereignty over the holy sites. an idea that's unthinkable to palestinians. after 45 years of division, germany is one. in berlin, a million germans celebrate the rebirth of europe's biggest and richest nation. you're watching the briefing. 0ur headlines: an investigation is under way

now, if you have been watching bbc news at this time of day for a few years you'll remember our dear friend and my co—presenter, komla dumor. he died suddenly injanuary 2014 and we all still miss him. the bbc world news komla dumor award was set up in his honour. it aims to continue komla's legacy by celebrating african journalism and finding exceptional talent. this year's recipient is the ugandan television presenter, solomon serwanjja who told us how he felt when he heard the news. so they called me on my skype call and i remember standing outside because i had to step outside. it was clear blue skies and, when this call came through, they told me, "how is the weather in uganda?" so you know when you get a call like that you want to put all the sophistication into that answer. i was like, "well, it is bright, it is bright because we lie on the equator, we enjoy this weather all throughout and then they told me, 0k.

i am delighted to tell you, solomon, that you have won the bbc world news komla dumor award. wow! oh, my god! oh, my god, i am so happy. this is...oh, my god. i am so honoured. like, i'm standing in this yard. ijust stood and i froze. i'm like, are you sure? yes, yes. i was like, yes! i was like, whoa, thank you. hello, you're watching gmt on bbc world news, i'm komla dumor. our top stories... komla dumor was someone i looked up to when he is to be on the bbc. komla dumor was someone i looked up to when he used to be on the bbc. and i felt very good because i saw him in me. i am a flamboyant person —

some people call me "flambo" because i love on—airflair, i love the excitement. i do not believe that news should be ecstatic. you need to communicate so you have to use more than just the word and the english, but the body language. i mean, komla had that unique style in him that he would come on set and just light up the whole studio and you're like, "i want to be like that guy". like you get this guy who gets off their suits and goes out of the field and tells african stories differently. he would tell both the positives and the negatives. as i sit in this motorboat, i pause to wonder what i am getting myself into, as the waves get worse. calm returns and we sail through for six hours to this island. i look forward to sharing experiences with the world's best and to grow my career as a journalist in different spheres. i know that during this time, i will be interfacing with the world's best, in television, in radio, online so i will have to amass all that experience to make me a betterjournalist, to take

the african continent forward. huge congratulations to solomon serwa njja huge congratulations to solomon serwanjja who huge congratulations to solomon serwa njja who has huge congratulations to solomon serwanjja who has won this year's bbc world news komla dumor of god. he summed up komla dumor really well. he had a lot of style in class and probably the only presenter who has his particular on—air pen. i think he had this very specific and expensive and which he left behind one day and i had to stash it. he was quite concerned about where it might end up. stay with me on bbc news. i'll be back with the business briefing in just a few moments. we have some interesting stories to

unpack later. i will see you injust a moment. after what has been a wet weekend in the uk, things have been drying out over recent hours but we start off on a chilly night before rain returns again from the south—west. so starting off with some mist patches around, it actually tends to lift and clear and then we see a decent amount of sunshine but this rain returns from the south—west, across the south—west of england into wales where some spots over high ground could see a further 70mm, close to 3 inches in rain getting into the midlands by the end of the day. to the north, some showers across scotland and it will be on the chilly side, 11 degrees in aberdeen with generally quite a lot of dry weather for scotland and northern england. as we go through one day night, the rain pushes northwards into southern scotland, rain in northern ireland as well

and to the south of that, showers returning, a mild night in the south but a chilly start to tuesday morning across the northern half of scotland. as we go through tuesday, this area of low pressure just starts to swing eastwards. that will drive further showers along with spells of rain. perhaps thunder and lightning again. you can see this wet weather permitting its way southeastwards across england and wales. for northern ireland and scotland, brighter skies and sunshine but some showers into northern scotland which could be wintry over the highest mountains because temperatures at best will get to 9 degrees in aberdeen and as we move out of tuesday and wednesday, that low pressure drifts away to the east. look at the white lines, the isobars come from a long way north. that is where you will be coming from, very chilly feel on wednesday. in fact we could start off with a touch of frost in places, all the way down to freezing perhaps for some spots in the countryside in northern england and central and southern portions of scotland. as we go through the day

after that chilly start, actually we will see a decent amount of blue sky and sunshine, a crisp autumn day. one or two showers down these north sea coasts where it will be quite windy and those are the afternoon highs, 11—14 degrees. as we edge towards the end of the week, those temperatures are set to rise again. the chance for some wet and windy weather to return. a huge amount of uncertainty about that but before we get there, rain at first through the week ahead, then it turns chilly for the middle of the week, milder later with the chance of some unsettled weather through thursday and friday. use a way will you are all you will
