officials in california are warning that historically strong winds are likely to fan the destructive wildfires that have taken hold. a state of emergency has already been declared. millions of people face having their power cut as part of the emergency effort to control the fires. hundreds of thousands of catalans have marched through barcelona calling on the madrid government to free the jailed separatist leaders. some of the protesters clashed with police following the peaceful protest — six people werehospitalised after officers charged barricades built by the demonstrators. more rallies are planned for sunday. a 25—year—old man, maurice robinson, has been charged with 39 counts of manslaughter and conspiracy to traffic people after 39 bodies were found in a refrigerated lorry trailer in britain. a fifth person has been arrested in connection with the deaths.

the democratic unionist party in northern ireland has vowed to oppose the prime minister's brexit deal in the coming weeks unless he negotiates changes. dup leader arlene foster told the party conference on saturday her mps would use their votes to defeat borisjohnson in westminster. here's our ireland correspondent emma vardy — and a warning, there's some flash photography in her report. what a difference! this time last year, it was boris johnson walking onto this stage to rapturous applause. today, he was scolded by the dup leader. rather than have boris with us today, we have had to send him to the naughty step in parliament twice in this last week. twice! the party has refused to back the government on crucial brexit votes, saying borisjohnson sacrificed commitments he made to the dup in order to get a deal. we will not give support to the government when we believe

they are fundamentally wrong and acting in a way that is detrimental to northern ireland and taking us in the wrong direction. last year, borisjohnson was warmly welcomed when he said no government should put a border down the irish sea. but his revised brexit deal requires new checks at northern ireland's ports to keep frictionless trade over the irish land border. it's a concession that, for the dup, undermines northern ireland's place in the united kingdom, which arlene foster has promised to uphold. now more than ever, let us stand strong for the union. thank you very much. arlene foster was keen to remind delegates the dup's votes in westminster have made a difference in recent days. and despite what members see as borisjohnson‘s betrayal of promises that he made here last year, they continue to hope the party can wield enough influence to get the prime minister to change

course in the days ahead. just going to have to go back and think very hard about how he'll get back our ten votes. it's as simple as that, there's arithmetic to be played. if he don't, i don't see any future for boris, i have to say. the price for an agreement with the eu has been losing the support of allies here. emma vardy, bbc news, belfast. once upon a time, in the pakistani city of lahore, lived the superglam guru. ashee was the talk of the town, the life of the party and an after—hours artisan. ashee is someone who describes herself as neither male or female — in pakistan, commonly known as the third gender. but entertaining is the preserve of the young and, as the years went

by, ashee realised more and more of her community faced destitution when they could no longer work. this is the story of guru ashee‘s quest to change the future of the third gender people in old age. the history of the indian subcontinent is rich with stories of third gender people. during the mughal empire, from the 16th century, they were advisors to the ruling class and experts in the arts. the reality today is much less romantic. i'm about to meet one of the most

revered members of the community, known affectionately as guru ashee. guru literally means teacher. they're the elders of the third gender community and are like surrogate mothers. tonight, guru ashee has invited me along with her students to a private party. i'm fine. you look very nice. thanks. ashee and her students are expected to get the party started.

but there's more to it than that. there's a deeply held belief that those like ashee, third gender, can bring good fortune to the soon—to—be—married. the business of dancing at weddings has taken a hit since pakistan has moved towards a more conservative reading of islam.

so tonight, as the money rains down, ashee makes the most of her role as master of ceremony. i loved it in there. it was really loud and brash tonight. and it was all the things that pakistan is famous for and reasons that i love this place. and it's rare that you see something like that.

but these events are few and far between. this is a family that she has history with, she's danced for them for a long time and they take care of her but, realistically, how long is she going to be able to do that? away from the bright lights and music of lahore‘s party scene, guru ashee has been working on a project she hopes will one day become her legacy. for the last eight years, she's been developing a retirement home for third gender people. it has everything you could need to stay well in old age, even a running machine. once complete, guru ashee hopes it will become home to a0 members of her community.

though there are no official figures for the third gender community, it's estimated to be close to half a million people. it's believed that almost 5% of them are hiv positive. if you're third gender, you're 50 times more likely to be living with hiv than someone from the general population. less than ten miles away is the diamond market — one of lahore‘s worst—kept secrets.

almost everyone knows about this place, but it's rarely referenced in polite conversation. it's where society's outcasts have lived together for generations. it's currently home to guru ashee and many of the people who'll eventually move to the retirement home. madhu, who i met at the retirement home, has invited me to her place for the evening. she rarely ever takes a night off work so, tonight, i'll join her as she waits for clients.

madhu's got her first client of the evening but, before they get to business, he's agreed to speak to me.

madhu told me all of her clients are men and identify as straight. they're either married or, like this guy, plan on marrying a woman soon. in a fiercely patriarchal society, these men make little distinction between women and those who identify as third gender. sex workers like madhu generally charge less than women and, for some clients, that makes all the difference. once madhu finishes up with her client, i spend some time with madhu's housemate, who i also met at the retirement home.

sex workers have a shelflife. in the not too distant future, madhu's going to need

help just to survive. madhu can't return to herfamily because they don't accept her as third gender. in a nation where the extended family system is the default for care in old age, what happens when that system rejects who you are? khurram lives in the diamond market area. today, he's trying his best to fit in to the ocean of bearded men in prayer caps, but it wasn't always like this for khurram. in fact, khurram used to be saima.

khurram works as a tailor, making clothes for the third gender community — clothes that he no longer wears himself. i want to understand why he now dresses as a man. there's this real sense of sadness, and that's because khurram's not

entirely being himself. he said it. there's the person who he was born, that's who he was assigned to be and he was raised as a boy, and then there's saima, and saima is who he feels his spirit is, and he says straight out that he misses saima. and he says saima comes out in the day a few times in a bit of his speech or in a bit of his attitude, but he can't live and dress and, most importantly probably, he can't love the way he wants to.

good evening, everyone. you guys are listening to fm 91. we have a very special guest, guru ashee. tonight, at one of lahore‘s most popular radio stations, guru ashee is using her celebrity status to win over a national audience and draw attention to the plight of her people. she's really going for it.

to have references to things like hiv and to people rejecting members of their own family and to social stigma, to have that on mainstream radio and to be starting those conversations in this country is pretty revolutionary, actually. the idea that being third gender is so unacceptable that it can't be tolerated is the cause of social isolation for many third gender people. now khurram's getting older, he's attempting to conform. he's turned his back on his third gender identity. he's now a fixture

at his local mosque. sure, there's a spiritual element, but it's also about the practicalities of being accepted back into the care and relative stability of his family.

here, it's just accepted that third gender people will lose their dignity, families and the promise of care in old age, just for being who they are. before i leave pakistan, i want to catch up with guru ashee. today at the retirement home, she's handing out food to lahore‘s third gender community.

guru ashee is changing long established attitudes and demanding care in later life for the third gender. the retirement home isn't just bricks and mortar — it's about building a new type

of future, one that brings a chance at dignity, care and love in old age to guru ashee and her community. at last we are going to see a significant change in weather type across england and wales. after a really wet spell of weather, thanks to the insolence of that when a front which is now showing signs of wanting to move away towards the near continent. following on behind

we have got that colder fresher regime which is already there across the northern parts of scotland but through sunday we will certainly notice the different across the southern half of britain. it is not all bad news by any means. it is a cold, crisp start to the day. pockets of trust across the southern counties. the winds will have been right. at least it will be dry. at least it is sunny and that goes for northern ireland and the southern half of scotland too. those are the daytime maximum. eight to around 13 and that is the way we continue into the way that is mist out of the forthcoming week. drier, sunnier but noticeably coded both by day and by night thanks to the insolence of that big area of high pressure extending its ridge pressure down and across much of the british isles. it will be a cold start, widespread frost. you will be scraping the cars on monday morning

for the commute. a difference down into the western quarter. frontal system spreading enough cloud here and a breeze too. there will be showery busts of rain. one or two showers in the north of scotland but in between fine settled weather. look at the temperatures. seven or 8 degrees to about ten, 11 or 12. a great feel of difference on monday into tuesday. still that ridge of high pressure. spreading enough cloud into the south—west quarter it will be on the raw side down here. despite the presence of the sunshine it does nothing for the temperatures. they could be enough cloud to the eastern side of the pennines and eastern scotland to pass on the odd drizzly shower but essentially again dry, unsettled weather. when did things change? well, by the middle part of the week we might see the first sign of frontal systems more active in this moist of the set here trying to push

their way across the british isles. some uncertainty about the timing but i we will change in the second half of the week.
