the tour will have an added emotional significance for prince william, as he traces some of his late mother's footsteps. princess diana made three visits here during the 19905 and is still warmly remembered. this woman was a leading politician assigned to look after diana during her first visit in 1991. there was a sort of magic which surrounded her. she was like a fairy tale princess and women especially came out to see this fairy tale princess. later this week, the royal couple will be travelling to the city of lahore, to the mountainous north of pakistan. security preparations have been intense but the couple are said to want to see as much of the country as possible. secunder kermani, bbc news, islamabad. time for a look at the weather, here's helen willets.

hello, i don't think we can dispute it has been a pretty wet start to october, hasn't it? some places haven't today, as, we are so much between two weather systems. yesterday's tallied and this evening and overnight‘s rain. not as intense, but nevertheless was still a number of flood warnings in place a consignment in particular. we have had some sunshine today into the continued disease and sunshine, as well. the best virtual b in southern ireland, northern england, but primarily up on the west of scotland. few showers in eastern scotland, across wales and southern england is welcome and already waiting in the wings as you can see is the evening rainfor wings as you can see is the evening rain for northern ireland. but the positive is we have some sunshine, we have light winds and temperatures area we have light winds and temperatures are a little above average, so not too bad for mid—october. not at

least today. however this evening and overnight, the wind strengthens, cloud starts to increase, it will arrest the fall in temperatures but give us a pretty soggy into the night for many. that should have dried up in northern england by the time we get to the rush tomorrow morning. sorry, northern ireland, but it will for the rest of us be a rather dreary one, healthful, gusty winds and that rain as well. it looks a little clear, fairly settled, parts of south—west england and follow suit into eastern areas in the afternoon, and with light winds we will see very few showers and a ridge of high pressure. the big question tomorrow is whether we get another batch of rain coming close to southern england and how much we get them. that is when we are watching. even after that moves away, come thursday and friday we have this next atlantic low moving on, the tightly packed isobars giving us an windy weather as well as the more wet weather in the form of showers, so it won't be a total wash—out but again there were showers will really be heavy, at times some torrential downpours, eastern areas on thursday, ganging

up eastern areas on thursday, ganging up further west and south where we could see some significant amounts of rain from those showers. again because it is showers, not for all, and it will be very difficult to get the detail of exactly where they showers will be in the coming few days. with them, squally winds. in between them there will be some good spells of sunshine, but given there will be clear spells by night and the nights are longer now, there will be some chilly nights to come as well, but at the moment it is still looking very unsettled. thank you. good afternoon. it is 1:30pm, these are religious headlines. we will begin with the reaction following the incident and blood carry out last night. the prime

minister borisjohnson carry out last night. the prime minister boris johnson has condemned, commended the england players in their handling of last night's recipes. number ten called it violence and racism has no place in football anywhere else. only foster is with me. number ten also pointing the finger at uefa. i guess the big question is where are we at 110w the big question is where are we at now and what is going to follow? as you can imagine, condemnation from all quarters in the wake of that racist abuse that some of those england players face last night. it was a short statement from a number ten spokesman on behalf of boris johnson. patently he says that uefa has now to face up to fax. he said this stain on football is not being adequately dealt with. he says be support the fa's calls for an investigation with tough penalties to follow. we are writing to uefa today to ask this to be conducted swiftly. we saw the scenes are much they match last night in sofia was

posed twice. these are steps one and two of that uefa protocol in dealing with racism on the pitch. we saw an orchestrated racism from that group of a0 or 50 ultra, who left seemingly on their own volition by half—time. but now the pressure is going to be an uefa, who had their delegates there stop they will be waiting for the match referee to report back. and also the european arm ofa report back. and also the european arm of a campaign group against racism, they had spotters in the crowd, as well. they will be reporting to uefa jake special effort to make some announcement by the close of play today. that they will be conducting an investigation. they have dealt with two dozen cases of racism this year alone. it usually results in sanctions binds stadium closures, as well. but the pressure is now on uefa to do

something to make an example perhaps bulgaria, because they are repeat offenders and vines and stadium closures just do not seem to be working. so, there is a real passion for uefa to take a firm stand. use this as an opportunity to show that they really mean business when it comes to tackling racism in the european game. this is a statement from that campaign group. we think that after what happened uefa has the power to keep bulgari out of the euro 2020 qualification per share. there have been too many incidents, too much collected from the bulgarian usa. they should make an example of gary and at bay and expel them. earlier this morning we heard that the bulgarian government were taking a very quick response to this. the bulgarian pie minister was

calling for the resignation of the president of the bulgarian football association, borislav mihaylov. he says he condemned me —— is that he strongly condemns the behaviour of some of the people in the stadium of a piece as they are one of the most tolera nt a piece as they are one of the most tolerant countries. we have just been hearing that the president of the bulgarian fa has refused to stand down, saying he will not tolerate any political interference. that is what is happening internally, but the pressure is really on uefa now to take a shock sta nce really on uefa now to take a shock stance against this. that pressure could grow when we hear from stance against this. that pressure could grow when we hearfrom uefa on possible sanctions are due course. the biggest thing to come out of all of this, arguably, is aware that the england players handled themselves last night, the weather manager, gareth southgate, handles himself, as well. and we heard portions and commend him for that. commendation for all those players and the way that they conducted themselves in the face of such racism. especially

the face of such racism. especially the three players who started that match, who all came out afterwards saying it was clear as day the racism that they face. they made it to the end of the match, the racism did decrease it seemed in the second half. that is by uefa and i delegates did not go to step three. step three would have been the abandonment of the match. but raheem sterling, who has always been very vocal at the forefront of issues against racism, said look, now is the time to stamp it out. these are just idiots in bulgaria. he was commending the bulgarian payments, as well, raheem sterling, saying well done for calling for the resignation of the head of the fa. by resignation of the head of the fa. by pointing out that the chairman of the fa was there last night stop liaised very closely with the players and gareth southgate, making sure that they were ok. gareth southgate himself checked that the players were ok to continue, those who had been targeted. but i think the most sobering thing about this,

they were very quick to say, this is not just a bulgarian they were very quick to say, this is notjust a bulgarian issue, this is just not an issue on the continent, the fa, we have issues, as well, within this country. gareth southgate, i think this puts things in perspective. he says sadly my players when asked whether they might be scarred by the experiences last night, he said sadly, because of their experiences in our own country, they are hardened to racism. many thanks indeed for that. it isa racism. many thanks indeed for that. it is a story we will be covering in great detail at the bbc sport centre today. do not forget the rest of the day's had lined over on the website, as well as for now, that is all for me. the have another update at half past two. more now on the racist abuse suffered by england players during last night's european qualifier against bulgaria in sofia. borisjohnson has described the actions of bulgarian fans as ‘vile' and said they have ‘no place

in football or anywhere else'. this was echoed by the sports minister, nigel adams who was answering an urgent question on the matter in the commons in the last hour. whether you are a player, a manager, a supporter, in member of the staff, no participant in sport should have to tolerate discrimination of any kind. cani to tolerate discrimination of any kind. can i also start, mr speaker, by paying tribute to the leadership shown by gareth southgate and his coaching team, as well as all the players for how they conducted themselves in appalling circumstances during and after the match. i have also spoken this morning to the chief exec of the football association to express my support to gareth southgate, his tea m support to gareth southgate, his team and all the support staff of the fa in the way they conducted themselves. we have made progress in

this country to combat discrimination in our domestic game and make ourstadium more discrimination in our domestic game and make our stadium more welcoming places to be. the government is supporting a number of different antiracism initiatives, including the premier league's no room for racism, show racism the red card and the kick it out campaigns. all of which have achieved a great deal in this area. in february, this year, my predecessor in this rule held a summit on discrimination with a range of bodies acting within football. that, mr speaker, it is clear we cannot be complacent. we must remain a leading voice on this issue internationally. international competition such as their shipping cultures and countries together. while it was a step in the right direction to see the uefa protocol engaged last night, i understand for the first time, it is clear that much more that needs to be done to

stamp out racism in the game. i am also encouraged by the reaction of the bulgarian prime minister who has spoken out and called for changes at the bulgarian football association. u efa the bulgarian football association. uefa must now cat the response rights, leaving no doubt that the consequences of failing to tackle this issue will be severe. i am writing today to the uefa president urging him to conclude their investigation safely and to ensure that all football authorities and fa ns that all football authorities and fans are clear that, again, the consequences of failing to tackle this issue will be severe. mr speaker, the england team has my full support and i expect tough action from uefa in response. the sport minister speaking in the last hour. more now on the report from the care quality commission which says a "perfect storm" of

increased demand and staff shortages means that people with learning disabilities england are still being locked up in unsuitable secure units. the report also warns that more than half of england's accident and emergency departments are not good enough. the department of health and social care has responded by saying that it's committed to providing everyone with the best quality care. sean duggan, chief executive of the mental health network of the nhs confederation which represents nhs mental health service providersjoins me now via webcam. thanks forjoining us. why is this proving so difficult to sort out? good afternoon. thank you. it is proving difficult because it is a very simple factor that mental health and instabilities have been the area that has been an investor for many years. —— and learning difficulties. it does go back a lot of years. we are now trying to address that, we are in the middle

ofa address that, we are in the middle of a five year plan. we are about three years into it. money is starting to get into the services for mental health and learning disabilities. that's money will be quicker access to help people get treated and cared for in your home. so this report showing that we are going out there yet. it says more than that, does that? and says the quality of services is deteriorating. as always with these plans, it takes time for that investment to get in and get properly established. it is starting to reassure people, it is starting to reassure people, it is starting to happen. but it will take a good few years. they must important thing is that we are confident that further money and investment will go into service over the next five years, otherwise we would not address as particular issue. and all that the major music is that that is going to happen. the other massive factory is work force, are we going to have the right people to deliver the care that we want to in these

plans? that is a real challenge for the providers that i represent, that is one of the major challenges to ensure that the nurses, doctors and therapists are all in place. we also need for the workforce to think very, work skills and other factors to china's people into mental health services. as you say, this is long—term. the frustration from the families is palpable. we heard from a woman short time ago his son was 200 miles away. she said heber is being held in a seclusion room, locked away performance. she tried getting back to be supported in the community. these are totally u na cce pta ble community. these are totally unacceptable cases. we cannot accept that as we go for a bit over the next four years. what is required, asi next four years. what is required, as i said, proper investment and also it is notjust a mental health

and learning disability providers that consult this, it has to be done with education, the voluntary sector and the independent sector, all sectors working together closely. that is happening, because in mental health it is very complex to provide the range of treatments that is required. it is not about medicine and medical care, it is about social care. so, the one, i have to say, they want big threat we have going forward is if we do not get money into social care and local authorities, that'll make the plant 100% harder to implement. authorities, that'll make the plant 10096 harder to implement. this is just not about money now, is it? it is about to be small number of people we are talking about. it is more about the organisation and delivering and, as you say, the lack of skills that the staff are treating these people have. of skills that the staff are treating these people havem of skills that the staff are treating these people have. it is about money and the workforce. because it is about management and leadership and, you know, i have to say that fantastic, really incredible managers locally chime to

put this right. it is hard and it gets back to the fact that it is, this particular area has not had the attention is required over the years and it has caught up with us. however, we will be able to put a child, but it will take a little time longer and yes, you're absolutely right, it is all factors. it isa absolutely right, it is all factors. it is a complex problem. management and leadership is an issue, too, which is being addressed. thank you very much. michel barnier says a deal can still be done. the government has demanded action from fit bubbles might governing body uefa after last night's in the match was marred by racist chants. mps have called on former thomas cook executives to hand back their bonuses after the travel firm collapse.

a new international study suggests that a cheap and widely available drug could save hundreds of thousands of people from traumatic brain injuries. the research suggests tran examic acid, or txa, can significantly improve some patients' chances of survival. almost 70 million people suffer these kinds of injuries every year, usually as a result of car accidents and falls. our global health correspondent tulip mazumdar reports. in a brief moment, a head injury can change a person's life forever. five years ago, pam foley fell off her bike in oxford. all i remember is one minute on my bike, next minute, on the ground, trying to get up. i knew i was stunned but i didn't realise how... how much i had hurt myself. pam had fractured her skull and suffered a bleed on her brain. she did make a good recovery, but lost her sense of smell and taste.

it's a constant reminder of the pleasures that can be had from simple smells. i really miss the smell of freshly cut grass, i loved that smell. this is a ct scan of a patient's brain. this is unfortunately a young man who was punched and fell to the ground. there are currently very few treatment options for patients who've suffered these types of injuries, particularly in low and middle income countries. patients can need surgery to ease pressure on the brain, or life—support equipment. researchers, though, say now there's another option, a simple injection of tranexamic acid. when patients are bleeding into their brain, naturally two processes occur simultaneously. the process of clotting and of breaking down the clot. tranexamic acid stops the breakdown of the clot, so allows the clot to form more effectively, and hence reduces and stops the bleeding. this is tranexamic acid. it's been around for decades

and was originally used for things like heavy periods. it's cheap, it costs just a few dollars per vial, and it's already easily accessible all around the world. the royal london hospital here in the uk was one of 175 hospitals across 29 countries and involving more than 12,000 patients to take part in the trial. it found deaths in patients with mild—to—moderate brain injuries were cut by a fifth if the drug was given within three hours. it's a simple injection, it can be given around the world by doctors and nurses. there is no special training needed to give it. previous international studies have already shown that the drug can be used to treat women with excessive bleeding after childbirth, as well as patients with life—threatening chest or abdomen injuries. pam doesn't know if she received tranexamic acid or the placebo dummy injection in this trial, but she says she's glad

to be part the study. the world health organization says it will evaluate the findings and consider whether to now recommend the drug for brain injuries. tulip mazumdar, bbc news, oxfordshire. the former chief executive of the 110w the former chief executive of the now collapsed holiday firm thomas cook has apologised to staff and customers. i decided the parliamentary enquiry into the colla pse parliamentary enquiry into the collapse of the 178—year—old company he said he was deeply sorry for the distress call. mps have called on him and other members of the team to hand back their bonuses, but he defended his bonus of having many pounds and said he was not the only one to blame for the collapse of the holiday operator. betty lost herjob as cabin crew when the firm collapse and is now unemployed.” as cabin crew when the firm collapse and is now unemployed. i have now received a statutory redundancy pay, which actuates me meant that every year that i spent working for thomas

cook was worth £279. but at the moment, because we did not receive out moment, because we did not receive our last salary as i'm sure you are aware, that has actually been a little bit of money that has arrived just in time, really. how are you feeling? i mean, you know, you're talking by calmly about what your next options are, but it is a company he worked for four a long time and itjust went overnight, how has it left you feeling? still reeling. we are still actually absolutely devastated, because in the first say ten days it just did not seem real. itjust seems as though everything in our company will sample. and which began again. it is very difficult now to actually come to terms and accept that but as it is over. particularly in the airline where we were very successful and profitable and we are still bewildered as to why our the

airline was forced to fail. along with the other arms of the company. various members of thomas cook's former management are being questioned by a cross—party committee of mps today. the poor boss said he worked tirelessly for thomas cook and he defended a bonus payment of £500,000 and said he was not the only one to blame for the collapse. i do not know whether you have been able to see much of what he and others were saying, but i just wonder how you respond to those comments? it is never pleasant in any circumstance like this to see anyone, you know, really put under the microscope and squirm. but in this particular case, the ramifications and the repetitions of the loss of this company to our nation and right across the globe are so nation and right across the globe are so immense and far—reaching that it really is time to shine a

spotlight on them. i still sense from him, although i do believe in those final few months they all did work very hard to try to turn this around, but i do not believe that they deserved the money that they aren't of the bonuses, because they share tipping page on the results. that isjust share tipping page on the results. that is just about should've share tipping page on the results. that isjust about should've been. and i am just hoping, but the answer is that they gave, which will still tender with arrogance, they realise that this has to be the final time that this has to be the final time that this has to be the final time that this type of thing happens to a business where ordinary people, in out business where ordinary people, in our case business where ordinary people, in our case right across the globe, have lost their livelihoods and incomes because of this. this has to be absolutely the last time. i would like to government to step in, as well, and also state what their role but they felt their brochure tipping in this. because, personally, i think we were hung out to dry, not only by the directors and managers of our business, but also by any assistance from our government. thankfully, the passengers and our

customers ultimately were helped in the civil aviation authority made a very good job that i am proud to say. but for the rest of us, yeah, it is been an incredible loss.l real heart—wrenching loss. betty lost herjob at pumice kick speaking tojoanna lost herjob at pumice kick speaking to joanna earlier. now how's this for a story of friendship and companionship. zoo keepers in russia didn't know what to do when a baby raccoon was abandoned by its mother. but another zoo had a plan partner him up with a puppy. tim allman has the story. best of friends, with a bounce in their step. meet moshka the raccoon and broshka the dog. moshka had no—one to play with when he was brought to this zoo in the siberian city of irkutsk, so they put him in with broshka. now, they are as thick as thieves. translation: they not only get along well, but they supplement each other, study each other and take certain

behaviours from each other. for example, the dog has already learned how to climb on people. the raccoon is a better teacher than the dog, i must say. dogs are less dangerous to raccoons than, say, cats when it comes to viruses and diseases. broshka, a friendly little chap, helped moshka learn how to eat solid foods, although it doesn't always go smoothly between them. translation: the dog is very disappointed because its paws are not that grippy, and when the raccoon climbs somewhere, the dog sits and starts yelling. i have no idea how they see each other. does the dog think he is a raccoon? does the raccoon think he is a dog? a profound question for everyone to ponder. the keepers say they have no plans to split them up. as long as moshka and broshka get along, they will stick together. tim allman, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather.

good afternoon. it is no disputable that it has been a wet start to october and we do have more rain to come. but today is a dry day. for some, the first dry day of october, because we had the rain to the east from last night and tonight and tomorrow's ran out of the bus. it is not a totally dry picture, we have had showers in northern ireland they will continue into wales and southern england and also eastern scotland. but for west of scotland, the north—east of englund and the far south, there is good sunshine out and about. temperatures 1a to 17, i suspect it is pleasant to stop it does not last. overnight in expand of rain and stronger wind winds up, purchase across the irish sea into scotland, wales and southern and western parts of england. so, they went strengthening in the claddagh more rain coming in, temperatures will be prevented from falling below a5 celsius. the concerns for tomorrow at the rain moving through, but how quickly its

players and southern areas. we can see this weather in frontjust staggering around certain areas from time to time. for many, once the rain moves through, it might clear —— struggle to in north—east scotland, increasing amounts of sunshine through the day. when the big white light and temperature space and latinos of today. it is just as i said? and how much they weighed the pulse further northwards into southern counties through the afternoon. even once that weather system afternoon. even once that weather syste m m oves afternoon. even once that weather system moves out of the way, we have got the next... lots of showers. showers and longer spells of rain which means it will not be the persistence which we have seen, they will be some sunshine in between. but they could be some torrential downpours and this went to be particularly bad new the showers. so, for thursday, it looks set perhaps north—eastern areas, the east of scotland may not see that

many showers. but they will tend to gather across western and southern areas and they could get quite a lot of rainfall in the showers. even though they are showered, it will be wet at times and no more rain at the moment is good news, given the ground is saturated. we still have rivers and flood warning. the devil is in the detail and consider showers, but if you have plans, please agent to deeper class.

today at two. bulgaria's prime minister calls for the boss of their football association to resign after england footballers are racially abused in a european qualifier. we could be criticised for not going far enough, but i think we have made a huge statement. frankly, we are in an impossible situation to get it right for everybody. the clock is ticking, the message from the eu's michel barnier, it is possible but difficult, and a legal text needs to be finalised today. reaching an agreement is still possible. obviously, any agreement must work for everyone.

and back in your bonuses, mps called on former thomas
