this is bbc news, i'm julian worricker. the headlines at 4: boeing's chief executive, dennis muilenburg, resigns calls for a government inquiry into racism in football, after a premier league match is stopped for the first time because of allegations of abuse from the stands. the message we sent then, hosting the london olympics, was tolerance, inclusivity, respect and all those values that i think are the best of us. roll on, eight years, completely different political context, climate, brexit is part of that. boeing's chief executive, dennis muilenburg, resigns after serious criticism following two major accidents in which 346 people died. the prince of wales visits fishlake in south yorkshire, where hundreds face chrstimas out of their homes after last month's flooding. five people are sentenced to death

in saudi arabia for the murder of the journalist jamal khashoggi. the former love island presenter caroline flack has pleaded not guilty to assaulting her boyfriend at herflat in london. the professional footballers‘ association has called for a government inquiry into racism in the sport — after the chelsea player, antonio rudiger, complained of hearing monkey noises from the crowd during yesterday's premier league match at tottenham. our sports correspondentjoe wilson is at tottenham's stadium. the stadium behind me is a gleaming addition to the british sporting landscape in itself, an advertisement to the power and wealth of the premier league, but far from futuristic,

what happened here yesterday seems to be another worrying indication that things are going backwards. professional footballer telling the referee, telling the world, he has heard monkey chants. not on a distant football pitch in eastern europe, this was chelsea's antonio rudiger at tottenham hotspur, in england's capital city, famed, theoretically, for its diversity. rudiger himself posted several tweets expressing his dismay at the incident but also stressing the importance of talking publicly about racism. so, it is notjust forgotten about, as, he suggests, always happens. rudiger also points out that in a modern ground like tottenham hotspurs with so many cameras in place, it should be possible to both isolate and punish the offender. racist behaviour amongst spectators is interfering with the game. please remember in football there is no place for racism. a warning was made over the loudspeaker three times at the game but there was no move to take the players off.

a somewhat confused application of football's racism protocol. the pfa which represents professional footballers now calls for more. it wants a government enquiry into racism in british football. at the moment, most decent people in this country, i think the majority, are being tarnished by the actions of a minority and all the great things we stood for in 2012, the olympics and all that inclusivity and tolerance, it's been eroded slowly and we can't allow that to happen. when england's footballers faced racist chants and nazi salutes in bulgaria, england's manager always stressed there were problems at home to address. well, he was right. this month there was racial abuse at manchester city's game with manchester united and now rudiger‘s experience at tottenham. these are just the high profile examples. these are the images the world sees. now, the police have told us they made six arrests

during the match here yesterday. they say none of those were related directly to the rudiger incident which they are still investigating, but they say one arrest was for a racially aggravated public order offence, which suggest to us, there was more than one isolated incident. boeing has announced that its chief executive dennis muilenburg is stepping down. mr muilenburg has faced serious criticism in the aftermath of two major accidents involving boeing's new 737 max planes in which a total of 346 people died. last week the company announced it was halting production of the aircraft. in a statement the company said a change of leadership was needed to restore confidence. our international business correspondent theo leggett gave us some background a little earlier. he presided over an era where boeing came out with its flagship aircraft which we now know contained a flaw, which never should have got past regulators, and it was allowed to continue flying after the first of those two

catastrophic accidents involving an aircraft off indonesia. the plane was allowed to keep flying and another one crashed a few months later in ethiopia. he has come underfire for presiding over an era where the company put production rates and the pursuit of profits over its safety, according to people. it says safety is its number one priority, it always has done, but there has been a lot of criticism of dennis muilenburg's response and his attempts to spread blame and say the accidents were part of a chain of events, even when trying to say we own this. i think his departure was inevitable. the fact it happened now has been triggered by the announcement last week that boeing was going to have to close down its plant in washington state where it makes the plane. boeing has been saying all year it wanted this aircraft are flying again by the end of the year,

that is not going to happen. prince charles is visiting people affected by flooding last month in the village of fishlake in south yorkshire. our correspondent dan johnson has spent the day in fishlake... he has had quite a warm reception in fishlike, you might think people have better things to be worrying about, this increase must not even in their homes. hundreds of people in this area, notjust in this village but they were pleased to see the prince, they were welcoming his visit and the attention it brings, the fact that someone is prepared to ta ke the fact that someone is prepared to take the time to see what they are suffering. the level of damage is intense and we are now seven weeks on from when the flood hit this village and others along the river don and north nottinghamshire and derbyshire as well. lots of areas, thousands of people across those three counties, were affected. the prince came to meet some people here in this lake, he toured some of the houses, he sought the community centre and the church that acted as a refuge for the village in the

middle of the floods, and he heard some of the frustrations people have about the flood protection that is in place with this village, the work that has been done further upstream that has been done further upstream that they feel has maybe sacrificed their village, and frustrations that people have had getting pay—outs on insurance because there has been a real problem of people not having insurance or insurers not paying out, and the inefficiency of that, the amount of time it has taken to get things moving. people know this is not just a get things moving. people know this is notjust a clear app that is going to disrupt christmas, this is going to disrupt christmas, this is going to disrupt christmas, this is going to take months, if not years. there are still teams going around the village clearing up bits of rubble the village clearing up bits of ru b ble left the village clearing up bits of rubble left from the floods that hit at the start of november. a court in saudi arabia has sentenced five people to death — and jailed three others — for the murder of the journalist and prominent saudi critic, jamal khashoggi. he was killed, inside the saudi consulate in istanbul, by a team of saudi agents, in 2018. the saudi public prosecutor said,

it was the result of a "rogue operation", but a un expert has called for the saudi crown prince to be investigated over the killing. martin patience reports. he was the journalist who criticised the saudi crown prince and it cost him his life. jamal khashoggi was a government insider until going into exile where he wrote columns highlighting saudi arabia's crackdown on dissent. when he entered the saudi consulate in istanbul, he has never seen again. murdered in what saudi arabia called evil corporation. —— a rogue operation. a saudi prosecutor said he was drugged, his body dismembered and then disposed of by a local collaborator. despite a un expert calling for the saudi crown prince to be investigated for the killing, mohammed bin salman has always denied involvement in the murder.

with these prosecutions, saudi arabia will be hoping to put an end to its worst diplomatic crisis in years. five men have been sentenced to death, others, given lengthy prison sentences. but critics will see it as a white wash which absolves the crown prince of any blame. if the murder wasn't premeditated, why did the team have the tools to cut up jamal khashoggi's body? that is just one of the many unanswered questions of this dark affair. martin patience, bbc news, beirut. let's return to that football racism story. joining me now is george starkey—midha from the kick it out organisation. welcome. lots of statements so far

today, lots of pledges of action, what do you want to see happen?” think it is incumbent on the entire football industry to really step up now and start to tackle this problem with the vigour that it deserves. i think perhaps a long time there were people who did not really appreciate the seriousness of the issue, so perhaps we were no longer in the bad old days of the 80s that this problem has moved on but if you speak to marginalised communities, black, asian people, they will tell you this is a problem that never went away and it is about time we started treating it into serious manner it deserves. it is notjust a football problem so how much comfort but realistically do against that backdrop? absolutely, it is clearly a societal issue but that does not mean football cannot do its utmost to ensure that our stadiums, our grassroot pictures, are safe spaces, free from this commentary abuse

racism. i think we have to be aware and collaborate with people outside of football. it is very important that the government and politicians ta ke that the government and politicians take a lead as well but there are measures. we can improve our reporting procedures, the level of education, the collaborative approach that we take interpol to really try and make a dent in the issue that we are not doing at the moment. —— we take in football. issue that we are not doing at the moment. -- we take in football. the government say they are not ruling out taking further steps if they feel that is necessary, would you like them to do that straightaway?” think absolutely. the pfa proposed today a government enquiry and i can see the value behind that in the senseit see the value behind that in the sense it is important the government either and taking an active interest in this issue, but what i think what is important is that any enquiry does not lead to just more talking. i think the evidence and conclusions that will come from that, i will not be surprised to see it be stuff we

are very aware of. the communities that are targeted by abuse already know it is happening. that is going to lead to more action like increased funding for charities like ourselves or for organisations taking a lead, and it is important our leading politicians are mindful of their own language and own actions that has a tangible impact on people who are targets of abuse in our society. until relatively recently, there was a belief, may be a naive one, this had to a large extent gone away and people would point to other parts of europe where you can see the problem much more obviously. were they wrong to think that at the time? yes, absolutely. we work with every day, every week, we work with black, asian, ethnic minority people from underrepresented communities and this problem never went away for them. in the last couple of years, we do think we are living any of

increased division and a rising level of hatred across the uk, across europe and the world. because of that there is a heightened focus on it which is encouraging people to report but this was not a problem that had been solved in 2005 or 2010, this problem had never gone away and people were unfortunately naive and decided to turn away from that. anyway, it is positive that at the very least we are talking about this more seriously as an issue now. 0k, thank you very much for coming the headlines on bbc news... calls for a government inquiry into racism in football, after a premier league match is stopped for the first time because of allegations of abuse from the stands. boeing's chief executive, dennis muilenburg, resigns after serious criticism following two major accidents in which 346 people died. the former love island presenter caroline flack has pleaded not guilty to assaulting her boyfriend

at herflat in london. the presenter of the itv show love island, caroline flack, has pleaded not guilty to assaulting her boyfriend at herflat in north london. helena wilkinson was in court and she updated us a little earlier. caroline flack, the television presenter, went into court in front of the magistrate today, she was accompanied by a police officer as she went into the dock, passed a very packed public gallery and in that public gallery, her boyfriend, the man she is accused of assaulting on december the 12th. she spoke very briefly, confirmed her name and date of birth and address, then she was asked to enter a plea and she pleaded not guilty to that one charge. the court heard from the prosecution during the hearing. it is alleged caroline flack

hit her boyfriend over the head with a lamp while he was asleep, because she feared he was cheating on her, and the court also heard from the prosecution who said when police turned up to herflat, the door was opened by caroline flack and her boyfriend, it is alleged they were both covered in blood and one police officer described it as if it was like a horror movie. we also heard from caroline flack's defence solicitor that her boyfriend had given a statement which was read out in court. her boyfriend does not support the prosecution case. he said he has never supported the prosecution case and he says he is not a victim, but the prosecution say they are going to continue with this case. she has pleaded not guilty so it will go to trial here in highbury magistrates‘ court on march the 4th. there are bail conditions that she has to keep, one of which is she is not allowed

to contact her boyfriend. when she was told that in court, she burst into tears. trial date set for the television presenter caroline flack on march the 4th here in this court. the duke of edinburgh has spent a third night in hospital where he's being treated for what officials describe as "a pre—existing condition". he remains at the king edward vii's hospital in central london, having travelled there on friday as a "precautionary measure". buckingham palace say the admission was for "observation and treatment". earlier during a visit to south yorkshire, prince charles was asked about his father by a member of the public. how is your father? he's all right, once you get to that age, things don't work as well. john mcmanus is outside the hospital in central london.

what is the news from there? prince charles is not giving very much away about the treatment that his father may or may not be undergoing in the hospital behind me. prince philip was admitted on friday, he walked into the entrance, he was taken here from sandringham, the queenmantises in norfolk as the queen was on her way from london to northwick begin her christmas break. we don't know what he is being treated for but we are told he is in hospitalfor a precautionary measure. we know he has been omitted to hospital a couple of times over the last couple of years for various complaints that had to be treated including abdominal surgery, had to be treated including abdominalsurgery, bladder infections and on one occasion a blocked coronary artery which were all successfully treated. if the duke does not leave hospital this evening, it will be his fourth night here. we have not seen any sign of

family visits but that may come over the next couple of days if he does not make it back to sandringham in time for christmas. thank you. there are growing signs that the islamic state group is re—organising in iraq, two years after it lost the last of its territory there. kurdish and western intelligence officials have told the bbc that is in iraq are now more skilled and more dangerous than al-qaeda. kurdish security forces are warning that history is in danger of repeating itself, as 0rla guerin reports. from a hilltop in northern iraq, a sweeping view of territory reclaimed from the islamic state group. the kurdish peshmerga, who helped drive them out, tell us now they are making a comeback. the militants are exploiting an area of no man's land, disputed terrain between kurdish and iraqi forces. looking at this territory here now right in front of us, do isis have free rein here now? yes, i can say, yes. especially between,

the delta between the great zab and tigris river, they are permanent there. are you worried? of course. of course i'm worried, because they are a really big threat. day by day, we can see the movement of isis, the activities, they reorganise themselves. is has done that an hour's drive away in hawija, which was their last stronghold in iraq. the authorities have planted theirflag, but the militants are hunting local officials. like the father of these children. he was a mukhtar, a village chief, who monitors comings and goings and informs the police. the youngest keep asking when daddy's coming home. his mother is overwhelmed by grief.

at the loss of her bright—eyed boy, shot dead in october. she tells me he was their breadwinner, their guide and their shepherd. it is by night that is emerge, spreading their terror as before. this chilling propaganda video shows a mukhtar ; well, is can't hold territory here any more,
