the chancellor gets his cheque—book out. back at westminster, opposition parties fail to agree on holding a vote of confidence in the government this week. we'll have the latest from westminster and from the conservative conference. the other main stories on bbc news at 5. why women are not getting the same care as men, when it comes to preventing heart attacks. we have details of a new report. cardiff city is ordered to pay nantes just over £5 million, for the first installment of the transfer, for the late emiliano sala. saudi's crown prince admits some responsibilty for the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi, one year ago. choir sings hymn. and, in paris, world leaders gathered, to pay tribute to the former french president, jacques chirac, who died last week.

it's 5pm. our main story is that the chancellor has promised ‘a significant economic policy response‘, in the event of a no—deal brexit, at the end of october. sajid javid did not give details, but it's being suggested, at the consevative conference, in manchester, that the ‘significant response‘ could mean tax cuts, to help mitigate the potential impact of leaving the eu, without a deal. mrjavid insisted the uk would be leaving the eu on 31 october, with or without a deal. that is despite a law, passed by mps, which orders the government to ask for an extension to the brexit deadline, if a deal is not agreed by 19th october. our political correspondent jonathan blake has the latest. prime minister, what do you say about the groping allegations? waving away questions

about his conduct in the past, the prime minister left his hotel. do you have a problem with women? trying to cut through the noise and stick to the script. prime minister, it has been alleged that you touched the thigh of a woman, at a lunch, without her permission. did you? no, and i think what the public want to hear is what we are doing to level up and unite the country. and, before the chancellor set out how the government wants to do that, he was in a generous mood, spending his own money, before explaining how he will spend ours. priority number one is brexit and a hint that lower tax rates could help soften economic blow.|j hint that lower tax rates could help soften economic blow. i have tasked the treasury with preparing a conference on economic response to support the economy. working closely with the bank of england, we are

ready to draw on the full armoury of economic policy, if needed. and the bank has already revised its assessments, because of the actions that we have already taken. so, deal or no deal, we will be ready. applause the chancellor confirmed spending on road renewal, bus services and broadband coverage. building blocks, he said for the future. successive governments have failed to invest enough for the long—term, and we have started to put that right. we can do more. a lot more. this government is going to build that in‘s future, and bring in an infrastructure revolution. applause the headline announcement, an increase in the national living wage. we will make the uk one of the first major economies, in the world,

to end low pay altogether. to do that, i am setting a new target for the national living wage. raising it to match two thirds of median earnings, that means, on current forecasts, this ambitious plan will bring the national living wage up to £10.50, giving 4 million people a well earned pay rise. the conservatives crowd love to hear about delivering brexit implants the future but there are no doubts that claims of the prime minister‘s pass conduct have been unwelcome for him out as party. does the prime minister have a problem with women? no! absolutely not. one former conservative cabinet minister sees it differently.

i can't comment on those accusations but they are deeply concerning and in a sense they go to the heart of the question about character and integrity of people in public life and what standards the electorate have a right to expect. back in westminster, opposition parties are meeting. their next move could determine the course of brexit, the timing of an election and see conservative mps back there sooner than planned. we can speak now to to chief secretary to the treasury, the conservative, mp rishi sunak. thank you forjoining us, it is good to talk to you. can i start by asking what many viewers will be asking, iam asking what many viewers will be asking, i am sure. why would a major economic respect be necessary in our event of a no—deal brexit? economic respect be necessary in our event of a no-deal brexit? brexit represents a significant change for our country, our economy, and we are honest about that. and as we transition from one set of arrangements to another, it may well be that there are adjustments that need to happen in particular sectors, particular trading when

relationships, and the chancel has been very clear that we stand ready to support the economy through that change with control of our own trade policy, our borders and immigration. also, at the same time preparing the country now for up the things that have to change, for example getting small businesses ready for those business relations, ensure we have the supplies that we want to have. we are attacking on both fronts but asi we are attacking on both fronts but as i say, the government is preparing to leave on october to first, with or without a deal and supporting the economy should the need arise for some the word you use as adjustments, i am 20 square the word adjustment with a major economic response, which is what the chancellor said a short while ago. there is a world of difference between an adjustment and a major economic response, isn‘t there? between an adjustment and a major economic response, isn't there? we will stand ready to do whatever is required to support the economy and the chancellor is conveying an incredibly strong statement of

intent. nobody should be in any doubt about how willingness to support the economy during that transition and whatever the degree of response is required, when something like that happens if the economy needs monetary policy that will come from the bank of england, if it requires fiscal policy it will come from the treasury and i think what he was doing with that statement is giving a very strong indication that we are standing ready to do what it takes to support the economy at that time. you are very clear there on leaving on the 31st, deal or no deal, but you can‘t do that, can you? unless you have a deal by the 19th of october because the house of commons says you simply are not allowed to do that. so how can you be so confident? we are working very hard to get a deal. that is what the prime minister is doing through his own efforts of personal diplomacy across europe which are going very well. that is what the technical teams are doing at their level to explain how new relationships can work, to resolve this issue of the backstop. our

policy is to get a deal, that is what we would all like to see. we are working hard at it and i remain confident that as possible. i think now is to go nations and conversation have proved productive. we are already talking about things that a couple of months ago, people said when not possible. they said they will never talk about reopening they will never talk about reopening the withdrawal agreement, replacing the withdrawal agreement, replacing the backstop, those of the conversations that are happening as a result of our efforts. so there is every reason to be optimistic that a deal can be reached. your very clear that what i will put it to you again so that our viewers are very clear. if there is no deal by the 19th of october, we cannot leave without a deal. and that is because the house of commons has decided that you accept that? the house of commons has passed a piece of legislation that requires the prime minister to send a letter requesting an extension. to the foreign secretary as himself as a renowned international lawyer has said, that is not particularly well drafted and we are looking at what exactly it compels the government to do at that

moment. what it does is request an extension, prime minister has very clear that is not something that we personally want to see. we think people are fed up with brexit and wa nt to people are fed up with brexit and want to get it done and move on to document all the other things in their lives, the things we haven‘t talking about here in manchester about investing in the nhs, in schools, getting 20,000 more police officers on the street and as your report said, the chancellor talking about a new wave of infrastructure investment in roads, rail, fibre, broadband, those are the day—to—day issues people want us to focus on and we want to be able to do that and we want to be able to do that and get brexit out the way. again, that message, you have been very clear about and what your priorities are. but i‘m going put it to you again is no deal by the 19th of october, and if you are sticking to this line that you are determined to leave without, with or without a deal, that sounds to me as if it is going to be a pretty chaotic and turbulent period. what you say to viewers on that? what i would say to viewers on that? what i would say to viewers is that i now want people wa nt to viewers is that i now want people want to speculative out what might

happen in the future. we are very clear about what we‘re doing, and thatis clear about what we‘re doing, and that is working very hard to get a deal as i have outlined. working ha rd to deal as i have outlined. working hard to prepare the uk to leave with no deal, if that is necessary. and what is clear is that there are a lot of people who want to frustrate brexit. we have seen that, we have seen it in parliament and elsewhere. we will carry on on our course. the legislation you mentioned is on the statute books, i respect that. but it requests for us to ask for an extension, that is not the same as necessarily that happening. there are necessarily that happening. there a re lots of necessarily that happening. there are lots of steps which need to take place between then and now. i remain confident that we will be able to get this done and get it done by the end of october. i hope you don't mind ifi end of october. i hope you don't mind if i ask you one other thing to do with the prime minister because i have been lots of allegations levelled against him in the last few days. we heard yourformer colleague saying that she thought there were questions about his character and integrity, following the latest allegations of misconduct. what would you say to that and what would

you say about your assessment of the prime minister‘s character and integrity? i have every confidence in the prime minister. as he has been unequivocal in saying, the allegations that have been made are untrue, so there is nothing more i can add. what i‘m seeing in manchester as people energise at this conference, about our vision for the country, about our priority is to invest in their priorities and public services, that is what the conversation here is all about and these allegations are not something thatis these allegations are not something that is dominating tropical conversation here and i know the prime minister has focused on the job at hand and that is shining through an ending that is happening here. —— topic of conversation. thank you so much forjoining us. quite a few things happening at manchester today, notjust quite a few things happening at manchester today, not just the allegations i mentioned levelled

against the prime minister, which he has again denied today. also, of course, significant speech by the chancellor, in which he outlined the government potential response, if there is a no—deal brexit. with that in mind, let usjoin vicki young in manchester for us. what do you make of the chief secretary remarked of living with or without a deal. he seemed to be repeatedly saying there might be a way around the so—called benn act? the chat here is lots of people wondering what that way around might be. because the prime minister is saying we‘re definitely leaning on the 31st of october with or without deal, equally i won‘t break the law, then what i see going to do? suggestion, i thought, then what i see going to do? suggestion, ithought, they then what i see going to do? suggestion, i thought, they are, seems to be that you can write the letter requesting it, it does not necessarily mean the eu will say and grant that the later brexit, that extension until the end of january. next year. there are lots of people

in brussels we think there is no way the eu wouldn‘t grant it but it is a very, very difficult situation, where the prime minister is effectively writing a letter, with his fingers crossed behind his back saying i‘m writing this because i am being told to by parliament but it is not what we want. so you can see how this can be quite messy, others saying he could just resign, he has ruled that out. others talking about emergency measures, others talking about going to this "and saying eu law should come first, the article 50 the fact we are leaving should trump all this. ministers seem to think there is a loophole, on the other side, the mps who have done that up don‘t think there is. it does suggest that things could get messy after the 19th if there is no deal and government insiders have said to me that they do expect to be backin said to me that they do expect to be back in court, come the end of october. i asked the chief secretary about the allegations levelled at

the prime minister, in terms of his conduct. he said to me that this simply wasn‘t a topic of conversation in manchester today. what is your sense of that? it is being talked about, because no matter how you look at it, the fact that a prime minister has to come out and deny that he did this, 20 yea rs out and deny that he did this, 20 years ago, is clearly an issue which people are interested in. and it‘s about his character, and people are saying it is about his private life. it is not, it is very different for has not talked a bit as private life, although stories and accusations of affairs, this is very different. this is somebody saying that he groped her, that it was unwanted, unwanted attention and i think that is why the downing street and the prime minister had to come out clearly to say it did not happen. this response from cabinet ministers who haven‘t asked about this all the 551 that some of them have spoken to the prime minister about that and he has assured them that it never happened and they save your willing to accept that it did not happen. and the fact that there probably won‘t be any new evidence

coming forward, given how long ago it was, you end up in the situation of one person‘s word against another, they will hope that they can move on from that and start talking about the policies we have been healing to which a clear sign today that they are heading towards, they think, a general election today. and they don‘t want to be caught out like in 2017 when they thought it would be a bright brexit, but the labour party talked about policies about the nhs, education, think the tories do not want to be caught out on that again. vicki young, thank you very much, in manchester with the latest at the conservatives conference. parliament sitting in westminster, meanwhile opposition parties have decided, today, not to take a vote of no—confidence in the government this week, or at least they have not agreed to do it. they met to discuss how to try to stop a no—deal brexit. so what happened ? how to try to stop a no—deal brexit. so what happened? let us talk to nick eardley, nick, what has gone on

to the? that is a fear in the opposition parties that they have not quite done enough to stop no deal. that boris johnson not quite done enough to stop no deal. that borisjohnson could get around that legislation, just talking about forcing a no deal on the 31st of october. but the category and what to do next. the snp have pushed over the next few days to bring down borisjohnson and put someone else in number ten, to extend the brexit process and call a general election. they have not taken anyone general election. they have not ta ken anyone with general election. they have not taken anyone with them on that though and there is a real disconnect between the different opposition parties on exactly what to do next. have a listen to the liberal democrat leader, jo swinson. what is going to happen is that the party whips are going to be meeting, to plan out different scenarios, look at different options, including the possibility of an insurance option, of a government of national unity. and including who might be able to lead such a government.

the key thing is thatjo swinson has ruled outjeremy corbyn taking over in the short—term. jeremy corbyn has said he will only support it if it is him. have a listen tojeremy corbyn. what more can you do, though? for example, options presumably with beefing up the benn act, a motion of no confidence in the government, emergency debates — the so—called so2lis — to get more information from the government. which options are we likely to see over the next few days? all of those options are absolutely at play, and all of them are under consideration. our agreed position is to prevent a no deal exit, and ensure that the prime minister obeys the act, the eu number two act, which you referred to as the benn act, which requires him to make an application to the eu by the 19th of october, if no agreement has been reached by parliament, at that stage. there is no signs that the prime minister has even made

an application of any sort, or indeed any proposals to the eu, thus far. the snp seem quite keen on a motion of no confidence in the government. what is your view on that? we will do a motion of no confidence at a point when we can win it, to be clear that no deal has been taken off the table, our priority is to prevent a no deal exit and that is the position that all the parties are agreed on. so the no—confidence option is not going to happen this week but it does stay on the table, potentially for mid—october. the dangerfor the opposition parties, though, is that they are moving further away, rather than closer to each other, on what that final option might be. with only a few weeks left. staying on this story and the fact the opposition parties have been discussing today, one of the mps, caroline lucas who is at our westminster should be. thank you for

joining us once again. what happened today? exactly as jo swinson and jeremy corbyn said. we had good talks and reinforce what we have in saying all along, in a united fashion, which is that we will not allow borisjohnson to bounce us out or drag it out of the eu against our will. and therefore the real focus remains on avoiding that no—deal brexit. that is what we‘re going to be doing on the coming days and weeks, we will be holding the prime minister to account, and this week, i think you will see more attempts to more of the documents published. we‘re still waiting for the full documents on yellowhammer, the documents on yellowhammer, the document to look at the impact assessment of no deal. we‘re still waiting for a sector by sector set of documents as well which we will be acting scratching asking for, looking at the impact of no deal. so those, plus the so—called non—papers, the informal papers borisjohnson has non—papers, the informal papers boris johnson has apparently tabled in brussels, we want to know what he‘s saying and so the focus this week will be on trying to get hold of those documents and holding this

prime minister to account. talking to the secretary earlier, and trying to the secretary earlier, and trying to get more detail out of him, on what happens if there is no deal by the 19th of october, he was still suggesting that there was some kind of way around it. he wouldn‘t see what that was, but he was still suggesting that leaving without a deal was still an option. what is your reading of that?|j deal was still an option. what is your reading of that? i think it is quite an extraordinary thing for the chief secretary to still be saying. because we know that there is a piece of legislation that has been passed, by the house of commons, that very clearly states that if the prime minister has not got an agreement for no deal or doesn‘t have a deal, then he has to make that little by the 19th of october. it has a great deal of legal advice sought on our site, as you can well imagine, and we are absolute be certain that that piece of legislation is watertight. so it is deeply concerning that we have got a prime minister who we can‘t trust enough to believe that he actually will follow the law of the land, but we are very clear will follow the law of the land, but we are very clear that the law is

watertight, that is what he should be doing. which make interesting, isn‘t it? because he went out of his way to say that the law, as drafted, was purely drafted and badly drafted and the clear implication of what he was saying was that there were ways through it. that is not what legal teams advising the people who have been drawing up that benn act, as it is now, have been saying. some of these same legal people are the who ensured that at the supreme court last week that the prorogation was ruled illegal, we were told by the government that prorogation was legal, and it was going to be fine. they were shown to be wrong about that and i think they are going to be shown to be wrong about this as well. when people ask you, as i'm sure they do sometimes, in this feeble atmosphere, why can‘t the government face a vote of confidence again, given what has happened in the last few weeks. —— fevered atmosphere. as a leading opposition figure, what you say to them?|j

figure, what you say to them?” would say your previous question a nswe rs would say your previous question answers that. in other words, we cannot trust boris johnson. we answers that. in other words, we cannot trust borisjohnson. we have just had a conversation about how you cannot trust the prime minister to abide by the law, but the house of commons has passed, barely a few weeks ago. —— that the house of commons has passed. so we cannot trust him not to get us out of the eu during an election campaign so we are absolutely united in our determination to make sure that we are not away fighting an election campaign over that crucial period, running up to the 31st of october. we wa nt running up to the 31st of october. we want to be there to make sure that if there are any dirty tricks at the end of that month, we are there to hold them to account but we believe that that act, the benn act, is watertight, but, to be safe, we‘re not going to go for a general election until that is absolutely secure. good of you to us, thank you. thank you very much. thousands of women who suffer heart attacks are dying needlessly, because they fail to recognise their symptoms, and receive

poorer care than men, according to a new study. the report, by the british heart foundation, found inequalities in diagnosis, treatment and aftercare. it says the myth that heart attacks only affect men has left many women unaware of the risks. our health correspondent, dominic hughes, has this report. oh, no! it was terrifying. i knew there was something wrong, but ijust didn‘t know what. ijust knew i needed that ambulance. two years 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 he said, 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. i was 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 that 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‘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. yay! i‘m the winner. dominic hughes, bbc news.

with me now is dr vijay kunadian, she‘s an interventional cardiologist, at newcastle university, and part of the british heart foundation‘s ‘bias and biology‘ report, on the inequalities faced by women in diagnosis, treatment and care of heart disease. very good of you to come. my pleasure. for those viewers watching, especially women, what would you say to them in terms of awareness and advice at this stage, given we have already established that there is inequality in the system, in terms of recognition and in terms of provision of care? yes. for women, traditionally, they think it isa for women, traditionally, they think it is a conditions are often related to cervical cancer or breast cancer and ignore the symptoms for such sly site if you have any symptoms around your chest and don‘t feel well, think of heart first. because heart disease is number one killer in the

uk as well as worldwide. and our data analysis from a national database shows that women are lagging behind in terms of seeking attention as well as receiving treatment. as a result, we are losing lives. we are losing precious lives, prematurely. so, what i would say to the women across the uk and worldwide is do not hesitate to get help. when we talk about inequality and the gap that exists, what has led to that? you talked about awareness and the fact that women may focus on other health issues. but what else is there? what is the system not doing properly, in order to make up for that? i think traditionally it is, as you mentioned in your earlier report, but disease is considered as a man‘s condition. so if a woman presents or says, they probably get treated for chest infection, or indigestion for example. whilst they are indeed suffering heart problems. so not only the public that need to be aware that, i need to think about my

heart. but also doctors and and the ca re heart. but also doctors and and the care providers. could this be the heart? could i do the test with which we can rule out the hard? rule out the heart first, and then go to other conditions. because your message, really, is yes of course it is directed at women who may be vulnerable, but am i right in saying that you‘re also directing the message that medical colleagues? and the way that they approach women who present with certain symptoms? and then they should not make incorrect assumptions? absolutely, absolutely. we have a number of publications thatis we have a number of publications that is from the uk, europe and across america, where if a woman has across america, where if a woman has a chest pain and calls for an ambulance, there is happen elderly compared to when the ambulance would reach them, compare to a man if they rang for help. so everyone should think, here is a woman, calling for help, westchester, let me get to her as soon as possible. likewise, when they come to the the need to undergo

they come to the the need to undergo the correct investigations to make the correct investigations to make the correct investigations to make the correct diagnosis. —— calling for help with chest pains. also procedures that i do, it is hugely underperformed in women. that is because they either get simple treatments and sent home or it is a bit too much, so everybody, at all levels, should think we need to treat women‘s conditions as equal to a man, in order to reduce the number of these 8000 lives we have shown in this publication. we don‘t want to lose these lies any more, we have made massive progress in the management of heart disease over the last 50 years, and yet we are still losing people‘s lives. last 50 years, and yet we are still losing people's lives. one more point, if i may, because we have spoken about the awareness of women who might be vulnerable, medical

colleagues. authorities. notjust the national health service, but people in government. people who dictate policy. are they sufficiently aware of what has been a gap in this provision? clearly the publication, the papers we write, i write, papers for a long time, and it is amazing that the british heart foundation has ta ken it is amazing that the british heart foundation has taken this initiative, awareness. people don‘t realise, cancer, they are the number—1 conditions, here we have a silent killer that is taking so many people‘s lives. and at least for the nhs, andi people‘s lives. and at least for the nhs, and i am still very proud of the nhs, if i may say, if people present late and they get delayed treatment and the consequences are much higher, for example, they stay in hospital longer because they develop complications, they develop heart failure, hospitalisation costs money. but if they go and get the treatment at the right time, then we could potentially be saving costs for our health service. so i think

the government, along with other organisations, such as the british heart foundation, to create the awareness and ensure that the right treatment gets given, to the right patients with the right condition. in this case, our female patients with the right condition. in this case, ourfemale patients, without disease. fascinating to talk to you, thank you very much for coming in. my pleasure, thank you very much. a day of mourning is taking place in france, for the former french president, jacques chirac, who died last week, at the age of 86. world leaders joined almost 2000 people for a service in paris, this morning. his coffin has been lying in state, over the weekend. thousands of people queued to file past it, as lucy williamson reports. the body ofjacques chirac, his coffin draped in the french flag, was carried into the courtyard of les invalides by eight of his former bodyguards. the military honours, in front

of president emmanuel macron, the first chapter in today‘s public remembrance. the coffin was then accompanied through the streets of paris, on its way to the church of saint—sulpice, where dozens of leaders, both past and present, had gathered to honour him. the crowds outside the church, paying their last respects to a man who, for all his perceived flaws, held a special place in the national memory of france. choir sings hymn. inside, the coffin made its way past a sea of faces, including that of the russian president, vladimir putin, and several former french leaders. jacques chirac earned the affection of many people here, by his easy charm and his strong stance against the us led invasion of iraq, in 2003. president macron described him as someone who embodied a certain idea of france. flags are flying at half mast and, later today, a minute‘s

silence will be held, across the country. his body has now left saint—sulpice, on its way to the cemetery jacques chirac is making his final journey through the streets of the french capital. the final resting place for a man who spent 12 years as president in almost 20 as mayor of paris, who are said to belong to everyone. it‘s been revealed that the original complaint — about comments made by the bbc breakfast presenter, naga munchetty, about donald trump, that led to her being reprimanded — also mentioned her breakfast co—host, dan walker. the bbc partially upheld a complaint against ms munchetty last week, ruling that she had crossed an editorial guideline when she spoke, on air, about comments made by the us president, which were widely condemned as racist. joining me now is our entertainment

correspondent, lizo mzimba. the bbc in some quarters has been accused of not being totally transparent about this case. what is the response to that? this is in the context of widespread public anger from the public and many of naga munchetty‘s bbc colleagues about what happened last week, that ruling. the bbc has been defending that decision saying that while naga munchetty was justified in calling president trump‘s words racist, she was wrong in assigning motive or a possible motive and now today‘s revelation that dan walker was also mentioned in the complaint has led to questions about why he was not mentioned in the final ruling. the bbc response was it has a three stage complaint procedures and every component is not satisfied after the first two stages, they can take that further to a stage because of the

executive complaints unit, who will look again, but to do that, they have to say precisely why they disagree with the bbc‘s initial ruling. they say in this particular case, the complainer came forward saying they disagreed with the initial ruling and that was all focused on naga munchetty‘s comments, not those by dan walker, and they say that is the straightforward reason why there is no mention in the final ruling because the complainant said they we re because the complainant said they were unhappy about how naga munchetty‘s complaints were dealt with in the initial one. thank you for shedding light. why don‘t we go straight to ollie for the sports. dina asher—smith has been back out on the track, at the world athletics championships, 2a hours after winning silver in the 100 metres. she posted the fastest time in the 200 metres heats. to reach the semi—finals. let‘s head

live to doha, and speak to our reporter ade adedoyen. ade, no signs of fatigue? you sometimes worry when the sprinters double up but no sign of any tiredness from dina asher—smith. she looked very comfortable, it was an easy qualification. the big story is that the defending champion is out, she has pulled out of the 200 metres. the silver medallist from london 2017 or so out and the lady that got the bronze medal in london is not doing the 200 metres because she wants to do the 200 and 400 double but the schedule did not allow it. dina asher—smith is the favourite to win that gold medal. she has been very good on the circuit this season. qualified very easily and the only real threat is the olympic champion but she beat her in the 100 metres so it looks bright as far as the 20 metres is

concerned and she showed no ill effects after that performance last night. the empty seats last night have been branded embarrassing, the athletes aren‘t happy, for what was a great night of athletics, and the organisers have tried to give an explanation. they say that it was the start of the working week, they talked about the working week, they talked about the late times the finals were on and they said they did that to satisfy their global audiences and they said they had made efforts to get more people into the stadium. these issues were not new. they would have known this when he received the rights to stage this event. this is the pinnacle for some of these athletes, other than the olympic games this is as big as it gets. i was here in doha in may and the stadium is neverfull so gets. i was here in doha in may and the stadium is never full so they would have been aware this could be a potential problem, and it has made

headlines for the wrong reasons because it was stunning, shelly—ann fraser—pryce made headlines but she did an obituary lap two empty seats. this is the greatest female sprinter of all times and yet nobody was there to celebrate her victory. it is not a good advertisement for the sport. a british four runner tommy this is not good for the athletes feel let down by by all of this. —— a british former runner. many thanks indeed. you will be back with us at 6:30pm. we will also have the latest from japan, 6:30pm. we will also have the latest fromjapan, a 6:30pm. we will also have the latest from japan, a much—needed win for scotla nd from japan, a much—needed win for scotland that keeps their campaign alive. that is at 6:30pm, see you then. more now on our main story, and the chancellor has announced his intention to increase

the national living wage, which will be expanded for all workers aged over 21. speaking at the conservative party conference in manchester, sajid javid said the minimum amount someone can earn will rise from £8.21 to £10.50 an hour over the next 5 years. let‘s listen to more of the chancellor‘s announcement. over the next five years, we will make the uk one of the first major economies, in the world, to end low pay altogether. applause. to do that, i am setting a new target, for the national living wage. raising it to match two thirds of median earnings, that means, on current forecasts, this ambitious plan will bring the national living wage up to £10.50, giving 4 million people a well earned pay rise.

applause. to help the next generation of go—getters get ahead, we will reward the hard work of millennials too. by bringing down the age threshold for the national living wage to cover all workers, over the age of 21. applause. the hard work of the british people really is paying off. and it‘s clear that it‘s the conservatives who are the real party of labour. we are the workers party. applause. let‘s discuss today‘s announcement further with mike cherry, national chairman of the federation of small businesses. thank you forjoining us, what did

you make of that part of the chancellor‘s speech? you make of that part of the chancellor's speech? we have always supported the low pay commission in its deliberations on when and how much the low pay should increase by. this will be an unwelcome challenge for certain small businesses and i refer especially to those in hospitality, retail and especially so in care homes where it is predominantly the public sector that is not already not able to find that sufficiently. it presents a challenge but many small businesses, let‘s remember, pay well over the national minimum wage already and i think wejust have national minimum wage already and i think we just have to reflect on whether low pay commission needs to be looking at this in some detail, both on the actual rate and the advancement from 60 as well as the decrease in age. many employers

already pay at the national living wage and any case if they are valuable members of staff. it is done over five years, does that make it much more manageable?” done over five years, does that make it much more manageable? i think what you have got to reflect on at the moment is we are already faced with significant cost increases, both on employment and other areas like business rates which are paid out up front before you even look at increasing your wage rates. let‘s not forget, the problem this is going to have on any differentials for higher paid staff within a business. when you look at the way that this fits into wider economic policy, do you think this is the kind of thing that would appeal to people of all ages or do you think that this actually, in terms of traditional conservative supporters who are running businesses in some areas, it will actually be a vote

loser? we all appreciate there is a lot more that government can be doing and should be doing to support uk businesses. here, we shall be asking the chancellor to look at increasing the employers allowance for national insurance contributions, at the moment that stands at £80,000 cap, will be looking for that be going up a lot higher to help smaller businesses in those sectors that are going to be badly affected and challenged by this —— a badly affected and challenged by this -- a £3000 badly affected and challenged by this —— a £3000 cap. a lot would advocate we not be increasing wage rates whether they should be so people can have decent living. we need support, we need help, especially as we face the uncertainty of brexit and the increased costs that businesses are having to contend with. on that brexit point, which you raised, i wonder what you‘re made of the

chancellor‘s statement that there would be a major economic response, if it was required, in the event of a no—deal brexit. what does that tell you about the state of concern that exists in parts of government about the potential impact of a no—deal brexit and what are your members saying? we have been very clear that we want a deal, we want a transition period. if you look at our recent statistics from our survey then clearly around one third of small businesses are not able to prepare for a no—deal brexit in the short—term so clearly, any support is going to need to be provided by the chancellor in support in vouchers or other means to offset any actual costs should we face a no—deal brexit. any actual costs should we face a no-deal brexit. good to talk to you, thanks very much forjoining us. the headlines on bbc news...

the chancellor announces a major economic response is being planned by the government — in the event of a no—deal brexit. meanwhile — the prime—minister meeting workers in manchester — has again denied allegations of misconduct with a female journalist. in westminster — opposition parties fail to agree on holding a vote of confidence in the government this week. an update on the market numbers for you — here‘s how london‘s and frankfurt ended the day. and in the the united states this is how the dow and the nasdaq are getting on. a year since the murder of the journalist jamal khashoggi in a saudi consulate in istanbul, the saudi leader crown prince mohammed bin salman has accepted responsibility for the killing. but he says he did not order it or know about it at the time. no one has yet been convicted for the murder. let‘s hear some of what he had to say.

translation: in the world does not ta ke translation: in the world does not take a strong and firm reaction to iran, oil prices will go to imaginable high numbers we had not seenin imaginable high numbers we had not seen in our lifetimes. those comments from the crown prince comes asa comments from the crown prince comes as a united nations investigation gained access to covert recordings of the moment that jamal gained access to covert recordings of the moment thatjamal khashoggi was murdered, and have been describing in detail what they heard. the writer and critic of saudi arabia‘s government was murdered in the saudi consulate in istanbul exactly a year ago this week. two of those who heard the recording have told the bbc‘s panorama of the ‘horror‘ and shock of listening to the material, as jane corbin reports. in october last year, jamal khashoggi walked into the saudi consulate in istanbul, he was hoping to collect divorce papers in order to marry his turkish fiance.

but after entering the building, he was never seen again. we only know that jamal khashoggi was murdered and the brutal way in which it was done, because the saudi consulate was bugged by turkish intelligence. the planning and the execution were all recorded. you can 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‘s going to be murdered. british barrister helena kennedy is one of 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. ms kennedy was invited to join the team headed by the un‘s special rapporter for extra judicial killing. she led the investigation into jamal khashoggi‘s murder and negotiated access

to the crucial tapes. recordings reveal the truth about what happened to jamal. he says, "am i being kidnapped?" "how could this happen in an embassy." the sound that i heard after that point indicate that he is suffocated, probably with a plastic bag over his head. her report for the un human rights council concluded that khashoggi was the victim of a premeditated execution for which the state of saudi arabia is responsible. there is no indication under international law that this crime could be qualified under any other ways than as a state killing. the recordings also counter the saudis‘ claim that khashoggi‘s death was a rogue operation, with the tapes revealing the planning that took place in the days leading up to the murder. there is no doubt in my mind this was a seriously highly organised mission coming from the top.

this was not some flaky maverick operation, no. no. the saudi government told us it is committed to holding the perpertrators accountable. the crown prince has said that as a leader he takes full responsibility, but denies ordering the killing. and you can watch panorama: the khashoggi murder tapes, tonight on bbc one, at 8.30. prince harry says a major collaborative approach "across borders and continents" is needed to end the poaching of animals such as rhinos and elephants. prince harry has been visiting a national park in malawi, as part of a tour of southern africa. our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell, is travelling with him. this is one of three national parks in malawi.

they, of course, cover an extensive area, and the problem of poaching is considerable. the british army is here in support of local park rangers and one british soldier, guardsman matthew talbot, of the coldstream guards was killed earlier this year out on an anti—poaching patrol. prince harry is paying tribute to him... ..laying a wreath at a memorial to him. harry is taking part in an exercise with british soldiers and local park rangers, and is being briefed about the whole problem, the whole battle, against the poachers. the theme of today, very much that of nature conservation, as harry has written an article, he has written himself in a national newspaper this morning. "there is a need to protect the world‘s most valuable assets, the need to coexist with nature. this, a most appropriate place to reinforce that message."

everything is in balance. we are the only thing putting everything out of balance, so somehow we have to be able to accept and learn and appreciate what already exists, rather than destroying it, and then realising we need to recover from it, because we are literally driving ourselves to extinction. malawi is the last country that he is visiting on his own. he will be returning in the next couple of days tojohannesburg where he will link up again with meghan and baby archie. the winner of the royal institute of british architect‘s most prestigious award, the riba stirling prize, will be announced a week tomorrow. there are six nominations for britain‘s best new building 2019 which include a railway station, new council housing and a property made entirely of cork. starting today — we will be taking a closer look at each of the nominated buildings over the next week.

first up is the macallan distillery on speyside. single malt whisky has been distilled in stills alongside the river for more than 200 years — the new building has taken three and a half years to build. the idea of producing a nice shed and having the stuff in there which produces whiskey and having a nice little visitor experience wasn‘t ever what we wished to create. we felt the whole thing should be a jewel at every level. this area has lots of visitor centres for distilleries and this one, we set out with the real intent to make it different, and to show the visitors just how a distillery works. graham's great line was that nature abhors a straight line. the roof is a piece

of art in itself. for it to be continually moving and allow that glass to stay in place on the wall, i don‘t know how it works. there's two parts to this design, there's the shell and core, the aesthetics to the building, but there is also the process and operational, and when these two areas came together, that was a truly astonishing moment. this had to be an operational distillery, it also had had to look iconic, and i think it has done it. we did say we would create the most beautifully coordinated distillery in the world. it is actually the very nature of how we‘ve organised the stores, how you approach the building, how we deformed the roof, which then takes a wild meadow which replaces the meadow that was there on the site before we began work. everything we have got

here in the distillery at macallan is different. it has been designed looking to the future. to have something that looks so different with its individual shapes on the inside, looks so natural outside, it's truly wonderful. that was remarkable, wasn‘t it? you can find out more about all of the nominated buildings on the bbc arts website and watch this year‘s riba stirling prize live here on the bbc news channel next tuesday evening from 8.30. the bbc news is coming up at 6pm fairly soon, it is now time for the weather. good evening, we have seen a lot of rainfall across parts of the country, especially england and wales over the last couple of weeks.

it has saturated the ground to any further rainfall events are impacting with flood warnings and issues, each rain event allowing those flood numbers to increase. this is the next system bringing heavy rain to england and wales through the course of the night, heaviest bouts of rain will be across central and southern scotland, northern ireland and the south—west. strong gusty winds. as we head into tuesday morning it looks like we will see those heavy showers from the word goes across the west, spreading across the midlands and into southern england. torrential downpours, perhaps some lightning. further north that rain band will be fizzing, pulling away from scotland and northern ireland so we should see some more sunshine but it will be chilly, a couple of showers across the north and a wintry flavour across the high ground. further south, temperatures still into the high teens. the heavy rain and showers clear away southwards during tuesday evening

and overnight. we see cold northerly taking over, clear skies and a cooler air mass, a recipe for a chilly night. on wednesday morning, although it is going to be cold, we will have these artic northerly is thanks to an area of high pressure, it should be settled. it will be good to see some dry weather to allow for the floodwaters to abate. you can see the blue hue, a cold start, potentially a grass frost across scotland and rural england. despite the chilly start should be plenty of sunshine around, a cold wind across the north and east of the country. this might push a couple of showers into the far north—east of the country. they can bea north—east of the country. they can be a shower further south but generally speaking, it is going to be much cooler, temperatures to the low, mid teens. this is hurricane lorenzo pushing its way northwards.

there is some uncertainty over where it will end up but it will introduce a slightly warmer air, just how much rain and wind we will see depending on where it ends up so you will have to stay tuned to the forecast.

the chancellor announces billions of pounds of spending pledges at the conservative party conference. sajid javid tries to steal a march on the labour party by promising a significant rise in the national living wage. it‘s clear that it‘s the conservatives who are the real party of labour — we are the workers‘ party. meanwhile, the prime minister is forced to deny an allegation that he groped a female journalist at a lunch two decades ago. we‘ll be looking at the government spending pledges, what they could mean, and how would they be paid for? also tonight... the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman accepts responsibility for the murder ofjournalist jamal khashoggi, but says he had
