you're watching bbc news at 9 with me, carrie gracie. the headlines... chancellor sajid javid is to pledge billions to improve the country's transport and broadband networks — on day two of the conservative party conference. infrastructure that, in turn, is going to improve our productivity as we build those roads, build those rail networks. it comes against a backdrop of questions about leader borisjohnson‘s private life. get your children vaccinated or they can't start school? the government considers tough new measures after a surge in measles. saudi's crown prince admits some responsibility for the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi — but denies personally ordering the killing.

why thousands of women are dying because their heart attack symptoms are missed. i'll be talking to an expert at quarter past nine. and there's a silver medal — and a new british record — for dina asher—smith at the world athletics championship in doha. good morning — and welcome to the bbc news at 9. ministers will attempt to focus attention on spending pledges — on the second day of the conservative party conference in manchester. it comes after the opening day saw the prime ministerfacing questions about his private life. chancellor sajid javid is promising what he calls an "infrastructure revolution" with a 25 billion pounds upgrade of england's roads, a national bus strategy

and five billion pounds for ultrafast broadband internet in the uk. but it's been a stormy week for boris johnson — culminating in number ten denying newspaper accusations that the prime minister squeezed a journalist's thigh under the table at a private lunch 20 years ago. away from manchester, opposition parties are expected to meet to discuss their next steps to try to halt a a no—deal brexit. our assistant political editor norman smith is in manchester for us this morning. thankfully, and how well are they going to be able to control this narrative? well, conferences are a lwa ys narrative? well, conferences are always hot houses in that you have loads of journalists always hot houses in that you have loads ofjournalists scurrying around, and there aren't any obvious news stories? then we tend to find oui’ news stories? then we tend to find our own. it's been a funny conference, there hasn't really been a whole load of standout

announcements in the way you may expect today, at party conference. that may be because team johnson are holding things back for the expected general election later this year, but that said, we are getting more cash being offered. today, boris johnson spoke yesterday of a great geezer of money pouring forth from the treasury. today, we get the latest launch, which is £25 billion to improve our roads, money which was already announced by philip hammond. but the truth is, everything now hinges on brexit, which overshadows this conference. and the sharp end of brexit isn't taking place here but back at westminster where, as we know, opposition parties are meeting to finesse their tactics on whether they try and oust boris johnson and replace him with an interim prime minister. as for senior tories here, they have been sticking to their mantra that come what may, we are

leaving on october the 31st and if that means no deal, so be it. although the chancellor this morning saying he would take measures, possibly tax cuts, to try and ease any economic hit from no deal. well, what we are planning in the treasury is mitigations of no deal and working with our partners across government. as you know, michael gove is leading that effort. what i am confident about is that with all those mitigations, at the ports or elsewhere, that we are able to deal with many of the disruptions around ano with many of the disruptions around a no deal. and also, something i would like to say more about today in my conference speech, is i'm also clear that if it was no deal, there would be significant economic policy response. you have the independent bank of england who would certainly think about it monetary siri response, and that is for them, but i would be thinking about a fiscal

policy response and a lot of these studies that people have looked into, they have every right to look into, they have every right to look into it, but no one really knows, because they couldn't know, what the economic policy response could be. now, as i mentioned, opposition mps are meeting in westminster today to work out whether they should try and trigger a vote of no—confidence. this because of fears that boris johnson may seek to round the so—called benn act, mrjohnson hasn't been clear on how he will do that, there are suggestions he could reply on european law, wouldn't that be ironic? or he could use emergency powers to get around the benn act. the chancellor was asked, did he know what boris johnson would the chancellor was asked, did he know what borisjohnson would do and what his plan was? i think ithinkl

i think i do, but... the intention of the law is clear. and id think it has absolutely made it harder for the government to get the deal that we all want to see. that said, it can still be done. elsewhere, bubbling away at this conference, questions about boris johnson bubbling away at this conference, questions about borisjohnson and women. this follows, of course, the allegations yesterday by charlotte edwardes, a well—known journalist, who said when she was working with borisjohnson at who said when she was working with boris johnson at the spectator 20 yea rs boris johnson at the spectator 20 years ago, at a rather boozy lunch, he groped her. downing street have denied that. but of course it comes after the allegations surrounding the american businesswoman, jennifer arcuri, and the rather blunt response of mrjohnson to those female mps at westminster who were asking him to moderate his language.

this morning, former cabinet ministerjustine greening seemed to pile in, warning of the potential damage from these allegations. i can't comment on those accusations, but they are deeply concerning, and in the sense they go to the heart of this question about character and integrity of people in public life and what standards the electorate have a right to expect. of course, denied very firmly by number 10. it's up to them how they respond to them, i'm saying i do think there's a question of character and integrity, and that also goes as far as a prime minister being straight with the british public about what he's asking europe for on their behalf. interesting that number 10 chose to issue a formal denial, because in my experience, they've never really commented on these sort of personal private allegations. in this case, regarding journalist charlotte edwardes, they did intervene. at that, i imagine, it's because they

don't want this to be rippling through this conference. they want to try and kill off the story. but i wonder if there is just a little bit of unease about the potential damage these sorts of stories are doing in terms of mrjohnson's standing with female voters. thanks, norman, we are fully briefed and up to speed. talk to you later. the chancellor sajid javid will be delivering a speech at the conservative party conference this afternoon and we'll be going to that live at 2.45, so do stay with us for that. the health secretary, matt hancock, says he's "looking very seriously" at making vaccinations compulsory for all school children in england. there's been a rise in the number of measles cases — and the latest figures show a fall in the take—up of all routine jabs for under—fives in the last year. simonjones reports. so we just do about there. a massive drive is needed, according to the health secretary, to get more children vaccinated. he told an event at

the conservative party conference that he is very worried. when we, the state, provide services to people, then it's a two—way street. you've got to take your responsibilities too, so i think there's a very strong argument for having compulsory vaccinations for children, for when they go to school, because otherwise they're putting other children at risk. measles is a serious illness that can lead to an infection in the brain. just over 90% of children aged two were vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella last year in england. that's a drop from 91.2% in the previous year. the world health organization's target is 95%, which scotland and northern ireland already achieve. here at the department of health, there has been much discussion about what can be done to increase vaccination rates. the health secretary believes

the public would back his idea and he says he has already taken legal advice from within government about how they might go about it. the british medical association has previously stopped short of calling for compulsory vaccinations. it wants adequate resources to make sure vaccination programmes reach those most in need, and a crackdown on social media companies who fail to stop the spread of false and misleading information. simon jones, bbc news. let's ta ke let's take you over to paris briefly. today is a national day of mourning in france following the death of former president jacques chirac. a memorial service will be held later this morning. let's see his coffin leave the invalides, under a military escort through the streets of paris, before arriving at the saint—sulpice church for that service attended by president emmanuel macron. the elysee said some 30 heads of state and government

are expected to be present, including russian president vladimir putin, hungarian premier viktor orban and german president frank—walter steinmeier. former leaders who worked closely with chirac, notably including german ex—chancellor gerhard schroeder, will also be there. a minute of silence will be respected in public institutions in memory of former prime minister jacques chirac. we will keep an ion that and take you there as and when. saudi arabia's crown prince has said he takes "full responsibility" for the murder of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi — but denies allegations that he ordered the killing. in an interview with cbs's 60 minutes, mohammed bin salman said that mr khashoggi's death was a "mistake" by agents of the saudi government. he was killed in saudi arabia's consulate in turkey in october last year. the crown prince was speaking to norah o'donnell, who began by asking him outright whether he ordered the death of jamal khashoggi.

translation: absolutely not, this was a heinous crime that i take full responsibility as a leader in saudi arabia, especially as it was committed by individuals working for the saudi government. what does that mean, that you take responsibility? translation: when a crime is committed against a saudi citizen by officials working for the saudi government, as a leader i must take responsibility. this was a mistake andi responsibility. 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: something that i should know, where three people —— make with 3 million people working for the government daily, it's impossible they would send their daily reports to the leader in the government. the cia has concluded with medium to high confidence that you personally targeted jamal khashoggi and you probably ordered his death? 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 translation: there is no threat from anyjournalist. the threat to saudi arabia is from such actions against a saudi journalist. this heinous crime that took place in the saudi consulate. mohammed bin salman talking to cbs news. the bbc panorama programme has been investigating the death ofjamal khashoggi. two people who've listened to covert recordings of the killing of mr khashoggi have described to the bbc what they heard. jane corbin has this special 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 are waiting there knowing

that this man is going to come in and he's 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 types. 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's 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. you can watch panorama: the khashoggi murder tapes tonight on bbc one, at 8.30pm. the headlines on bbc news... the government pledges billions for transport and broadband improvements — but borisjohnson faces questions about his private life on day two of his party conference. the health secretary says there's a "very strong argument" to make it compulsory for schoolchildren in england to be vaccinated. saudi's crown prince warns of "unimaginably high" oil prices the saudi crown prince admits some responsibility but denies ordering

the killing. and continuing his tour in africa, prince harry meets girls campaigning for better education — and visits an anti—poaching project. and in the sport, dina asher—smith rana and in the sport, dina asher—smith ran a personal best to make the 100 metres silver at the world athletics championships in doha, behind fraser—pryce but there was barely anyone watching. scotland need to do the same today, they face samoa in about two hours from now. and leicester are up to third in the premier league table after a 5—0 thrashing at newcastle, who are still in the relegation zone. more on all of those stories in 20 minutes. firefighters have called for more protection after research found they are being exposed to dangerously high levels of toxins which may be linked to cancer. it comes as the uk's

chief fire officer has — for the first time — acknowledged the high rate of cancer among his colleagues. tracy gee has been investigating. firefighters need to stop having their lives totally turned upside—down with cancer. he died on the 4th of february this year. he went to soon, he just went too soon. he went too soon, he just went too soon. the faces of just a handful of the many firefighters battling cancer, and for some, the treatment is taking its toll. michael copplestone, 15.09.56. mitch has two forms of leukaemia and is in need of a bone marrow transplant. the bad side will be that i won't quite make it to as old as i should have been. you just think, don't let it be me. and mitch isn't alone with facing cancer, but sadly for some firefighters,

they've already lost their battle. stuart fish, lincolnshire firefighter, died at the age of 60 from blood cancer. i know in stuart's early years, breathing apparatus was not worn for open—air fires and when you understand its carcinogens and toxins that people are breathing in, if you want my personal opinion and honesty, i do think it was a contributing factor. in my opinion there is a direct link between firefighter‘s occupation and cancer. scientists believe that firefighters are twice as likely to die from cancer compared to the general public could kill population. if you take firefighters in their clothing in a hot environment, they start sweating. and thermal intake, or absorption via skin, is automatically increasing is kind of working as a sponge for all of the fire toxins. as tests continue, fire chiefs are coming under pressure to do more to protect their firefighters, and acknowledge a potential link to cancer. firefighters are contracting certain types of cancer above the population norm. i accept that, and that is a concern.

shouldn't something be done now? why are we waiting for more conclusive evidence to come out when that evidence is already out there? the assurance i want to give is there's an incredible amount of work going on in the background to make this happen as quickly as possible, but i do acknowledge that is not quick enough for some people. i feel cheated, and so did stuart. i can't bring him back. ijust hope a positive comes out of, you know, this tragedy that's happened. i think it is an occupational hazard, yeah, definitely. firefighters need to stop having their lives totally turned upside—down with cancer. tracey gee, bbc news. you can hear more on this story on inside out across england at 7.30 tonight on bbc one. and viewers everywhere can catch the full report on the bbc iplayer. thousands of women are "needlessly" dying after having a heart attack because they fail to recognise the symptoms, and receive poorer care than men. that's according to the british heart foundation. the charity says that women are disadvantaged at every stage

including diagnosis, treatment and after—care. our health correspondent, dominic hughes, has been finding out why. oh, no! it was terrifying. i knew there was something wrong, but ijust didn't know what. ijust knew i needed that ambulance. two year ago, louise mcgill had a heart attack. it came out of the blue — a few days of feeling tired a slight pain in her chest and then overnight she was suddenly fighting for her life. the paramedic was running some results and i think it was an ecg he was doing and he said, "louise, i think you're having a heart attack." what did you think then? i thought, "this is it, i'm not going to make it." i couldn't believe it. it with i just shell—shocked.

louise was lucky, she got fast, appropriate care, but many women who suffer a heart attack are dying unnecessarily. researchers found that over a 10—year period more than 8,000 women may have survived with better treatment. i think there's a combination of bias and biology. so whilst there are biological factors that are different between men and women, i think there is a bias as well and this is a societal bias. there is a misperception that men only have heart attacks and this is not true. today's report said that one of the problems that women face is many of the treatments are designed around men — so a quick way to diagnose a heart attack is to look for the presence of a protein called troponin, that that's released into the blood when someone suffers a heart attack, but many women, when they come into hospital, have lower levels of troponin than men, so they go undiagnosed. now at this lab here in edinburgh, they are using a high sensitivity test that should allow more women to be diagnosed quickly.

a lower threshold has been suggested for women, which certainly picks up more women with heart attacks than previously and that clearly is important because those women get identified as heart attacks and get treated as such. and that is clearly an important factor that plays a role in the underdiagnosis of heart attacks in women. two years on from her heart attack, louise is on the road to recovery and she says women need to know they can also be at risk. there's no set person that is classed as a prime example of somebody that may unfortunately have a heart attack, it doesn't discriminate, women need to just be aware.

we will speak to an expert on that ina we will speak to an expert on that in a moment. prince harry will visit anti—poaching troops in malawi today as he continues his tour of southern africa. the duchess of sussex has stayed in south africa with their baby son archie — but she was still able to make an appearance at another of harry's engagements, via videolink. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell has this report from malawi. welcome to malawi, one of the poorest countries in africa, but a country which is committed to improving the education of its young women. prince harry took part in a discussion with a group supported by the queen's commonwealth trust — the objective? to empower women. the debate was joined by harry's wife, meghan, on a video link from johannesburg. we cannot begin to express how valuable and vital that work is. we're just incredibly proud to be a part of it. already the initiative, the campaign for female education, is working in five african countries.

better education has many benefits. for one thing, it means fewer child marriages. today the focus shifts to another issue in this part of africa, the battle against the poachers. harry will visit the liwonde national park. he will pay tribute to guardsman matthew talbot of the coldstream guards. he was killed on an anti—poaching patrol earlier this year. harry will also see the work which is supported by the british military to combat the poaching gangs. nicholas witchell, bbc news, lilongwe, malawi. our correspondent nomsa maseko is in johannesburg. just at the point of going to visit these conservation projects we were hearing about from nick, we've got an important assessment by prince harry ina an important assessment by prince harry in a british newspaper this morning, talking about the dangers

of dismissing conservation as"hippie". of dismissing conservation as'hippie". indeed, he said it should not be seen as being a hippie, because conservation should be the issue that everyone should be involved in because it affects the cycle of life and those are encouraging words from prince harry. a lot of people here in south africa are saying he is following in the footsteps of his mother, because of his love for nature. we also saw prince harry saying he does not mind getting his hands dirty when it comes to south africa to deal with suchissues comes to south africa to deal with such issues because when he is here he is not on vacation, he is here to work because he has seen the type of work because he has seen the type of work in terms of anti—poaching and the conservation in parks around south africa that is taking place, describing the work there as very serious and diligent in the way in which decisions are made, and in the

way that national park saad dealing with poaching, which is a big problem on the continent —— are dealing with poaching. and how is this received? dealing with poaching. and how is this received ? we've dealing with poaching. and how is this received? we've seen the duke and duchess of sussex in south africa, in some engagements they have had there, we have seen the dukein have had there, we have seen the duke in malawi and in that report we saw meghan on video link speaking to some women in malawi. how are people across the south of the african continent, how do they feel about them? well, a lot of people in this pa rt them? well, a lot of people in this part of the continent are saying that prince harry and meghan markle are in touch with what is actually going on. particularly with what we saw over the weekend, when meghan markle went to the post office where a woman was killed, allegedly by a post office worker who had raped her before killing her. and actually left a message for her. it says that

she is in touch with what is going on on the ground and that she understands the plight of south african women currently, and speaking of conservation efforts there by prince harry, a lot of people are saying it shows that he isn't just people are saying it shows that he isn'tjust in touch with the people but also at one with nature. we will leave it there. thank you for joining us. and in sport — there's a silver medal — and a new british record — for dina asher—smith at the world athletics championship in doha. a huge congratulations to a very happy woman! now it's time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. thank you and good morning. some of us thank you and good morning. some of us this morning have got off to a beautiful start. it is sunny and dry. but some have some showers, notably across the north of

scotland. it comes in off a stiff breeze from the north, and then we see heavy rain piling in across south—west england and wales, into the midlands. later into nottinghamshire and the peak district. this can provide 20—110 millimetres, there is a risk of localised flooding, big puddles and standing water and spray. ahead of that, a lot of dry weather. through the evening and overnight, that moves the evening and overnight, that m oves a cross the evening and overnight, that moves across england and wales come into northern ireland and southern scotland, and to the south we have clear skies, some showers coming in from the west and to the north, clear skies and a cooler night ahead. tomorrow morning, we have rain in the central swathe in the uk, slowly moving southwards. then a lot of showers, heavy and than three downpours developing across england and wales. in scotland and northern ireland, and eventually northern england, it's dry, bright with a few showers.

hello this is bbc news with carrie gracie. the headlines: chancellor sajid javid is to pledge billions to improve the country's road, bus and broadband networks — on day two of the conservative party conference. it comes against a backdrop of allegations about boris johnson's conduct towards a female journalist. children could be made to get compulsory vaccinations before they start school — the government is considering tough new measures after a surge in measles. saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin salman admits some responsibility for the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi, but denies ordering the killing. and why thousands of women are dying because their heart attack symptoms are missed.

time now for the morning briefing, where we bring you up to speed on the stories people are watching, reading and sharing. there has been plenty of discussion online recently about political language, particularly the words used by borisjohnson in response to those who disagree with his brexit strategy. one of those to speak out during the heated commons exchanges last week was the labour mp jess phillips. speaking to bbc breakfast this morning she said she believed the prime minister has a ‘strategy designed to divide'. we all use bad language, i mean no one could say that i am well—tempered at all times and i would never ever claim to be. what i think the problem is with what's happened with the prime minister over the past couple of weeks, is it that it is a direct strategy designed to divide. it isn't the use of the word surrender, no one is suggesting the word surrender is taken from the dictionary. what i don't want is the prime minister to be taking a strategy where his

whole, like he will have tested the words that he used, in order to incite division and hatred against people like me, the whole people versus parliament thing and that is the thing that i have a problem with. another story that's got people talking this morning — women who suffer heart attacks are dying "needlessly" because they don't recognise the symptoms and receive poorer care than men, according to the british heart foundation. esther stanhope suffered a heart attack at the age of a5, and told the today programme even doctors seem to associate heart problems with men. my father died of a heart attack age 40 in 1977 and i think he did have symptoms that he ignored, according to my mum. i have four brothers, so ijust didn't think i was the one at risk. in the hospital each time a cardiologist or a specialist would come in, they would go, "hi, so where's the patient?" as if they're waiting for me to bring in an elderly man and i was like,

"i am the patient." "0h, are you?" because i'm 45, i've got young kids, i don't look as if i'm about the keel over, so absolutely i think that i didn't expect to be a heart attack victim. we will get more on that later after the sport. and finally, something that got a lot of people talking a fugitive on the run found in a gave. on the run for 17 years. they used drones to spot his cave hide—out. 63 yea rs drones to spot his cave hide—out. 63 years old. he was jailed for trafficking women and children, but he escaped and he was living in a tiny cave for years. that is one

that's gripped people. and the most watched. we are doing a series about the impact of climate change and this one is the impact in vietnam. because of course it being so low—lying, the mekon delta, it is vulnerable to climate change and 20% of the country's population are at risk and we have a reporter who went to meet families living on the front line there and apparently in 2018 more than 35,000 people forced to flee their homesestry day, that is one every two seconds, because of the impact of climate change and rising waters there. so if you have time, look at those stories. finally a wick one. —— finally a quick one

thatis a wick one. —— finally a quick one that is engaging twitter. bbc sport presenter mike bushell‘s cowboy—themed american smooth on strictly come dancing. the routine included a spectacular outfit, and some rather risky looking lifts. let's take a look. # like a rhinestone cowboy! # riding out on a horse in a star—spangled rodeo # rhinestone cowboy # getting cards and letters from people i don't even know # and offers coming over the phone!# you have a lot of trust in him! you have a beautiful smile.

like one of those psychotic cliff hangers — is he going to kill her now, or is it going to be the next cliff? odd, darling, very, very odd. that's all i can say. oh, they were cruel! that's it for today's morning briefing. sport now and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's sally nugent. what did you make of that routine? mike's outfit, could you have a word please. i love mike and i've known him a long time, he is as lovely as he comes across, but i will make an appeal to the strictly wardrobe department, please, please don't do that to him. i can we can all echo that to him. i can we can all echo that appeal. we love him though. long may he continue. let's keep voting.

dina asher—smith won britain's first women's100—metres medal at the world athletics championships last night. she took silver behind jamaica's shelly—ann fraser—pryce in doha — and with me now is former olympic champion darren campbell, who's known asher—smith for years. she ran a great race, didn't she? yeah, yeah, very talented as a young athlete and it's been fantastic to watch her grow and develop and ma nifest watch her grow and develop and manifest into this young athlete that has so much belief in what she is capable of. after the european championships last year, where she won three gold medals, he has taken it to the next level on the world stage and a performance like last night wasjust stage and a performance like last night was just calm, full belief in what she is capable of and she ran a personal best, a national record and going into the championships, all you ever want to do is leave your best on that track, that is why she was so happy. but now she will have

to go back and focus on the 200 metres. the heats start today for that. the final is on wednesday. a lot of chat this morning about the empty seats in the stadium. how difficult will that have been and how demoralising is for the athletes to see so many empty seats?” how demoralising is for the athletes to see so many empty seats? i think one of skills of top athletes is to block out the crowd. when you're going out for a 100 world final, the noise inside the stadium can be unbelievable and you have that moment where they go, right take your track suits off and you get into the blocks and it goes silent. the top athletes block it out. the moment will be the lap of honour. it looked so... itjust looked sad. we have gone from euphoria and joy and

excitement and you see this. that is the moment for me that breaks my heart. because i remember winning my medal in sydney and running around the track and seeing...” medal in sydney and running around the track and seeing... i remember seeing the pictures. seeing all the british fans, thanking them for travelling and supporting you. that is the special moment. it's gone. but listen when she comes back on these showers —— shores we will get these showers —— shores we will get the adulation she deserves. thank you very much. there's coverage from doha from two o'clock on bbc two — and across the bbc all day, on connected tvs, bbc radio, and the bbc sport website and app. a beaming dina asher—smith appears on most of this morning's back pages. the daily telegraph crowns her the "silver queen", with the stat that it's britain's first female sprint medal at a global championships

for 36 years. the guardian go with the comments of australia coach michael cheika that the confusion over the rules on high tackles at the rugby world cup is "e and in the times we have, "wales seal it with a kiss", showing captain alun wynjones planting a smacker on a rather stunned looking george north, after their win over australia. after that stunning victory for wales, scotland need to do likewise today — they play samoa at 11.15. the scots lost their first game to ireland, of course, but after the irish lost to japan at the weekend, their pool is wide open. scotland have really got to win today to be in with a chance of reaching the quarter—finals. we obviously watched the japan game and we have done the numbers and know the implications for us. we have to just go out and win the game first and foremost. i feel in my

experience if you start chasing anything else before the game starts, you can get into a bit of trouble. we will be going out trying to win the game and then if we're in a position to go for the bonus point, we are aware of what we need to do. torrential rain didn't stop leicester city thrashing newcastle 5—0 in the premier league. ricardo ran through most of the newcastle team for theirfirst goal — a brilliant finish on the end of it too — and jamie vardy scored twice as leicester moved back up to third in the table, leaving newcastle second from bottom. the second—largest crowd in women's super league history watched tottenham beat west ham at the london stadium. in front of almost 25—thousand people, spurs won 2—nil, lucy quinn sealing the win seven minutes from time, as they moved up to fifth in the table. lewis hamilton moved a step closer to a sixth formula 1 world title, with victory in the russian grand prix in sochi. it was a one—two for mercedes,

who took advantage of more controversy at ferrari, with sebastian vettel ignoring team orders before breaking down. hamilton now leads the drivers‘ championship by 73 points with five races to go. the strategies were definitely full on it today. i think we all were. and you know even valtteri bottas to keep the ferrari behind did a great job to secure the one, two. after three tough races, this is... i can't tell you how rewarding this feels. northern ireland'sjonathan rea has won a record fifth straight world superbikes title. he clinched it with victory in race two at magny cours — which gave him the championship with two rounds to spare. he said that mechanically and mentally, it had probably been the toughest season of his life. that's all from me — but don't forget sportsday at 6.30 this eveing on bbc news, for a full roundup.

more now on a story we mentioned earlier in the programme. thousands of women are "needlessly" dying after having a heart attack because they fail to recognise the symptoms, and receive poorer care than men. women are disadvantaged at every stage including diagnosis, treatment and after—care. let's speak now to professor nilesh samani, the medical director of the british heart foundation, who joins us from leicester. it is shocking, it is not the first time we have been told about this inequality, why is it still happening? well, we need to continue to raise awareness about the situation and that's why we have launched this campaign today. as you said... so i listed some of the factors, one is awareness, that is a wider issue among the public, what

is not a wider issue and should be simpler to communicate is the message to health care professionals ? message to health care professionals? yes, so the research that we funded a has shown there are su btle that we funded a has shown there are subtle differences, not all are very great, but there are differences in making a diagnosis, when somebody presents with a big heart attack, the diagnosis is simple to make, but if it is more subtle, because it is seen to be more of a male disease it is delayed and women are not offered the optimum treatment and they leave hospital with less drugs than we give to men for aheart attacks and rehabilitation, women are not receiving as much as they should. there isn't a big difference, but if you put them all together, then you see what the report shows. is, does

the differences, for example the difference in after care, taking home medicines, does that amount to discrimination? no, i don't think, thatis discrimination? no, i don't think, that is too strong a word. there are small differences, around 2 to 3% in the use of statins, that we prescribe people with a heart attack, there is lower in women who have a heart problem and a number of other drugs of that type. they get a delay sometimes in having an angiogram. so if you look at the last decade, researchers have suggested perhaps 8,200 women have needlessly died as a result of these minor differences. so it is an an

important problem to highlight. when you break it down, that is two women a day dying necessarily. yes. when you talk of these nuanced differences spread across a complex number of people in different roles, thatis number of people in different roles, that is why it becomes difficult to get the message across, what can you do about it? i think raising awareness, as we are doing now, making sure that it is highlighted throughout the naturers o —— nhs to say if women present with chest pain we need to be sure they're not having a heart attack, particularly the minor type of heart attack is often missed. it is getting that message across through to the front line people that this is an issue and they need to be aware of it. good luck with that. thank you for joining us.

the headlines on bbc news: the government pledges billions for transport and broadband improvements — but boris johnson faces questions about his conduct towards a female journalist. children could be made to have compulsory vaccinations before starting school — the government is considering tough new measures after a surge in measles. saudi's crown prince admits some responsibility for the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi, but denies personally ordering the killing. the national trust has launched a project to make its five hundred historic sites dementia—friendly. working with the alzheimer's society charity, it also plans to visit care homes and hospitals. tiger de souza is director of volunteering participation and inclusion at the national trust. this sounds like a great initiative?

yes, dementia is the biggest health concern of our time, every three minutes, somebody gets diagnosed with dementia and about 150,000 of our supporters could be living with the condition now. but we know that access to heritage, historic places and countryside and coastal places can help people with dementia and we wa nt to can help people with dementia and we want to do more to make sure more people have a better experience with us. people have a better experience with us. are you doing anything on dementia at the moment and what is the more, what are the measures? some of our places are already embracing this, we have a project here in cambridgeshire, where people from a agricultural background can ta ke from a agricultural background can take part in a project and that helps them in terms of stimulating them and living with the condition and also there are other projects around the country. but what we have noted is we haven't done as much as

we could and we could do more. the aim of work with the society is simple steps like training staff and volu nteers simple steps like training staff and volunteers and looking at our signage and accessibility and thinking of the activities we could run on our sites to benefit those living with dementia. a lot of your places so are different, they're physically different, that raises different challenges? there are some challenges in that, but there is a massive benefit, where we have the viert of places we have —— variety of places, we can different things that people can benefit from. it is important to recognise for people living with dementia, having the chance to experience some of those opportunities can be a tremendous help in terms of conversation they

might have with their families or helping them reconnect with the past. is there anywhere that you're looking to as an example, is there a model you can work on? when we were talk about it, we were thinking about places which are already doing this and we couldn't. there are several of our places that are already delivering projects. i'm thinking about non—national trust projects. there an opportunity for the sector to play a better role. this is the largest partnership of its kind and we hope to lead the way this delivering better opportunities for people with dementia to experience our places. is there a time frame, if somebody‘s watching today and they're looking after somebody with dementia and they want to know when they could take them in a way that their needs would be met toa a way that their needs would be met to a local national trused project

—— national trust project? to a local national trused project -- nationaltrust project? some to a local national trused project -- national trust project? some of our places are making great strides and are linked up to their dementia—friendly communities, for others, it will take time and we recognise we are not experts in this area and that is why we have partnered with the alzheimer's society and we will ensure all our sites have dementia—friendly status. good luck with that. thank you. world leaders have been gathering in paris for a memorial service as france observes a national day of mourning for the late president, jacques chirac — regarded as one of the country's most popular modern leaders. that is the scene in paris this morning and as we were saying, a big memorial service going to take place. there is the president, emmanuel macron. and we know that joining him today are three previous

predecessors as president of france. there is a minute's sirens this morning. there has been a lying in state at the hotel des invalid. we think the service will be at 10 our time, the procession will take place and then the service. we will go back to that in a few moments. fans of "rupaul‘s drag race" will need no reminder that the uk edition of the hit show is coming to bbc three this week. the american version has won many awards and helped to catapult drag acts into the global mainstream. but while men in frocks may be a novelty in some countries, they've been part of british culture for decades. josh parry has more. your queen has arrived. start your engines, drag race

is coming to the uk. and while this line—up of british queens are bound to become household names, the scene hasn't always been so mainstream. blackpool. and simon green is beginning his transformation into alter ego betty legs diamond. drag is quite a british thing, isn't it? it's been going around for years. it started in the music halls and in pantomimes, with dames and things. and even well before then, it's been documented as men dressing up in drag, looking feminine, for centuries. it's ironic and funny, and naughty. simon's big break on the drag scene required a little bit of cunning. betty was invented in a dressing room at the palace theatre, london's west end. they called me betty because i used to smoke like betty davis. you could smoke back then. if i go down like a lead balloon, if you hate me, you don't have to pay me.

but if i go down well, and i bring the house down, you have to give me my fee. i went down brilliantly everywhere. because i brought along all the dances with me. now he works at a funny girl, one of blackpool's longest—running drag nights, donning betty's diamante tights five nights a week. and while he might not be performing for rupaul anytime soon, he has performed for an bigger queen. it was absolutely thrilling, probably one of the highlights of my career. who is the biggest queen? liz, of course! i could say betty, but he wouldn't know which one. london's olympia, and 15,000 drag fans have turned out to meet their favourite queens at drag world. just gives me a chance to do something i don't normally do. people just come in what they want and where what they want, and it's just amazing. this is knocked off from a philip treacy that i saw at the v&a. but it's from hobby craft. all the performances are really cool. but it's not all about the dresses,

the make—up, the wakes. the make—up, the wigs. drag is big business, with a recent event like this, taking in more than £7 million in merchandise sales alone. drag is huge business. it's become a way for creatives to make money doing something they love. they can do it full—time and actually turn a nice profit for themselves. some of the big american drag queens make thousands of pounds for one gig. so it can be really lucrative. and then when you add in merchandise and appearances on top of that, it's like a really good income for some people. i would say that drag, since drag race has opened this pandora's box. it's huge. i mean, we're having conventions all around the world for drag. so, yes, of course, it'sjust like any other career. are the winner of this series is yet to be crowned, it is almost certain the cast of drag race uk won't sashay away for some time.

now for a can of beer, which certainly has a bite. that's because a thirsty snake managed to get its head caught in the can. luckily for the hapless creature, some locals were on hand to help. the video, from the indian state of odisha, has taken the internet by storm. oh, idon't like oh, i don't like snakes, can we get rid of these pictures. well that safe is safe. now the weather with simon. thank you. no snakes for you here! we have wet weather, although many have had heavy rain over the weekend, the ground is saturated and for some we had a lot of rain fall. look at the radar image over the weekend. these are some of the 48—hour totals. nearly

weekend. these are some of the 48—hourtotals. nearly100 millimetres in lancashire. north wales up to 72 millimetres. but widely 60 millimetres of rain fall. so the ground is saturated and there area number of so the ground is saturated and there are a number of flood warnings out and with more rain to come that number could increase. low pressure to the west is bringing these fronts in today. heavy rain will move in south western areas. ahead of that in northern and eastern parts of england, some sunshine. the cloud will increase. sunshine in northern ireland and scotland. some showers affecting the far north of scotland. that rain will spread into south—west england and wales. temperatures today, chilly in the north, only 10 degrees. 17 or 18 further south. tonight atrocious conditions for the evening rush hour with met office warnings in front in wales and the midlands. look at the greens here, some torrential rain tonight. it will stick around across

northern england and northern ireland. through tuesday, while the rain continues, we have heavy and thundery showers for central and southern areas with frequent lightning and torrential rain. further north sunny spells, but turning chilly. temperatures only 10 to 13 celsius. that wet weather associated with this front will clear and if we look at the isobars, we have to go to the north. that is bringing in this plunge of colder air across the uk on wednesday. so wednesday morning will be a chilly start with some frost across northern england and scotland. temperatures for all of us down into low single figures. but a crisp, beautifully sunny start for many. some cloud in northern and eastern areas and some cloud in the south. for many on wednesday a dry and a bright day. but the maximum temperatures 12 to 14 degrees. maybe

only single figures in the north. by the end of the week it will turn warmer, but there are uncertainties with the remnants of hurricane lorenzo.
