so, too, has the anger amongt some conservative backbench mps, who are calling for the commons to be given a vote before ministers can bring in any more new laws. they're waiting to see what concessions the cabinet will make, even though their demands hi, good morning and welcome to bbc news, i'm vic victoria derbyshire, may not be voted on tonight. here are the headlines... 0ur political correspondent personal attacks and feisty exchanges from the two men helen catt is at westminster. who want to be the next president of the united states. who is cross, and wide, and is millions tune into the first they're going to be a deal between presidential tv debate. i'm not going to answer them and downing street? well, this the question because... isa why won't you answer that question? them and downing street? well, this is a lot of backbench mps, the question is... particularly conservative backbench radical left... will you shut up, man. mps, have been raising concerns over listen... recent weeks about how these the men insulted each other and argued about america's restrictions are being introduced, response to coronavirus, that they are coming in very race and tax. quickly, sometimes you are getting the detail coming outjust a few people out there need help. but why didn't you do it hours before these changes to the in the last 25 years? law take effect and they worry that because you weren't president screwing things up. thatis law take effect and they worry that that is confusing people, how are you were a senator and... people supposed to keep up with the you're the worst president america legislation that changes so quickly and they are also worried that some has ever had, come on. let me just tell you, joe, of these things perhaps have not in 47 months, i've done more been necessarily thought through and if they were given more of a debate than you've done in 47 years, joe. and given more of an airing in parliament to, then some of the new restrictions come rationale for it might be made in across the north east of england, with a ban on people

clearer. so, what they are doing is meeting other households. to try to get the government to give banaz mahmod from south london parliament more of a say before new was killed aged 20 by her father coronavirus restrictions come in. and uncle after they said she'd ideally what they want is a vote on shamed their family. any new restrictions. the way 13 years on, still in hiding in witness protection after giving they're trying to do that is by evidence against her own family, using the six—month renewal of the coronavirus act, which was passed her sister has this warning. just a few days after we went into do you think what happened lockdown and it gave the government to your sister could yet happen now? absolutely. lots of emergency powers, but every maybe not down to the t, six months the house of commons has to say, yes, we are happy for those how my sister's situation went, but i think there is still space for error. powers to continue. that vote is today, and so, a group of mps are they're not fully trained, they still don't do what they need to be doing. trying to attach an amendment to that today, which would say that mps almost a million women have missed a mammogram appointment are able to vote on any future because of the pandemic, according to a breast coronavirus restrictions. and there cancer charity. isa also today, do you back those mps coronavirus restrictions. and there is a lot of backing for it on the including dozens of tory mps conservative backbenches, at least who want more scrutiny of the many 50 conservative mps, possibly as restrictions and laws many as 80, which is enough that if it went to a vote, then the the government has brought in to try and control covid—19? government would be defeated. there we'll speak to one such mp shortly. is some debate about whether or not let me know if he has your support. actually it will get to that stage, or perhaps you back the government,

but what it has done is to trigger a who say they have to act swiftly to deal with the virus? and coming up this hour — lot of background chat between the return of spitting image almost 36 years after it first aired conservative mps, between downing street, to try and come up with a on british tv, now including harry and meghan, compromise solution. earlier, the borisjohnson and donald trump. chief whip, who is in charge of discipline in the party, went into downing street and the reporter shouted at him, are you going to give mpsa shouted at him, are you going to give mps a say on coronavirus restrictions? he replied, yeah, we are. but will it be the sort of say that mps want? and chief whip is the the two men who want to the the next person who is in charge of trying to president of the united statess have maintain discipline among taken part in theirfirst conservative mps? yes, and the televised debate, ahead of november's election. message he will be giving back to donald trump and joe biden downing street may not be a clashed over coronavirus, race and the economy. particularly fun one. there is our washington correspondent gary o'donoghue was watching. certainly discontent among it's the biggest moment conservative backbenchers and what is interesting is the sheer number of mps who have voiced these of the election campaign so far. concerns, but also it is notjust the usual awkward squad, it is toe—to—toe, face—to—face, people from across the spectrum of the virtual sparring over, the time that the gloves come off, the conservative backbenches who are

and it wasn't long before saying, parliament needs more of a the insults started to fly. role. and that is why these discussions are happening. the prime minister is giving a news conference i'm not here to call out his lies, today flanked by the chief everybody knows he's a liar. i want scientific adviser and the chief medical officer, why? well, we don't to make sure... know exactly what he is going to say but what we understand is that it is because as you mentioned earlier the despite the first subject being the vacant seat levels of the virus are still rising on the supreme court, much of the discussion centred on healthcare and whether the court across england, and they will want could scrap the affordable care act. to address that. we are not joe biden said the president wanted to take away healthcare expecting that we will hear any from 20 million americans. the president said he would do major new announcements of restrictions, but what we are a greatjob on drug prices. all of the things that we've done... expecting is that we will get a bit i'll give you an example, insulin. ofa expecting is that we will get a bit of a runthrough of the data and it was destroying families, where we are. i think it is because destroying people. we are in that phase where the levels are rising again and i think i'm getting it for so cheap, it's like water, you want to know downing street see it as important the truth, so cheap. that they are engaging with the take a look at all the drugs, public regularly while that is what we're doing, prescription drug prices. we're going to allow our governors happening. to go to other countries to buy drugs because they payjust let's talk to the conservative

mp mp peter bone. a tiny fraction. i don't know if you would describe yourself as a member of the awkward the covid pandemic was always going to be central to this debate, squad, but you want more scrutiny, and joe biden wasted no time do you not trust the prime minister in laying the blame for america's to get these things right? it's not seven million cases and 200,000 a question of trusting anybody to deaths at the president's door. get them right, it is the fact that if we would have listened to you, the country would have we have a democratic system where been left wide open, you elect your member of parliament, millions of people would have died, they meet in the house of commons, not 200,000, and one person is too and we decide on the laws of the much, it's china's fault, it should never have happened. country. to restrict the number of people that can meet to six is an extraordinary restriction on the liberty of the british people, and president trump's taxes were bound to be a question, that has not been scrutinised in given claims he had only paid $750 in federal income tax parliament, hasn't been debated in parliament, hasn't been debated in on his first year in office. parliament and certainly hasn't been millionaires and billionaires voted on by mps. but do you think like him in the middle of the covid crisis have done very well. the prime minister, may be his top billionaires have made team, the cabinet, his senior advisers, are somehow afraid of another $300 billion people like yourself scrutinising what they want to do? well, i think because of his profligate tax proposal and focus on the market. after months of protests you have to conclude that, if you following the killing of african—americans by police, like, the special advisers, these the president has made law and order politically appointed people... a central question in his campaign.

people like dominic cummings. people like dominic cummings, who are he is arguing that the democrats are anti—police. unelected, they don't have any you can't even say the word law enforcement because if you say those scrutiny, probably don't like the words, you're going to lose idea that mps who are accountable all your radical left supporters. and then it all got really scrutinise what they do. they have personal when the president got rather used, over the last six began his much—anticipated attack on joe biden‘s children. months, to making laws without any the moderator interrupted, checks, and i'm afraid some of the but the former vice—president bit. he was not a loser, he was a patriot laws that have come in don't seem to be justifiable. and any legislation and the people left behind that goes through the house of commons is improved by the fact that mps question and sometimes move like hunter? i'm talking about my amendments that make the regulations son, beau biden. better. i am amendments that make the regulations i don't know beau, i'm better. iam not amendments that make the regulations better. i am not sure the ten o'clock rule, for instance, would talking about hunter. necessarily have gone through hunter got thrown out parliament. i was going to ask you, of the military... this was a thoroughly bad—tempered and chaotic affair. if we had had that parliamentary both sides will claim a victory, both sides will live scrutiny that you want, what rules to fight another day. gary 0'donoghue, bbc news. or laws that we have now do you think would be different?” or laws that we have now do you think would be different? i don't think would be different? i don't think the 10pm rule for pubs would and if you want to more of that debate, you can watch it in full have gone through, and i also think the rule of six would have been

perhaps modified. it might have been on the bbc iplayer. modified so that children aren't counted in that number, or it might coming up this afternoon, have been, yes, we think this is we'll be looking back at some important, it is a very serious of the highlights from the debate restriction on our liberty, so we will only bring it in for, say, four in a special programme on the bbc news channel at half past one. weeks and then it has to be renewed new coronavirus restrictions have come in across the north east of england. again if it is required. i think all those sort of things would improve people are no longer allowed to meet other households the way the government's laws are indoors and are discouraged from doing so outdoors. coming in and actually i think it is the prime minister borisjohnson will hold a press conference in the government's interests that later today to update us all on the pandemic. it happens. and if parliament was to yesterday saw the highest number of new daily cases vote on a particular issue and since mass testing began. and the number of deaths, at 71, labourmps, are twice as many as a week ago. vote on a particular issue and labour mps, conservative mps, liberal democrats, snp mps, had to vote, that legislation would then pubs, hotel bars and restaurants have the force of parliament and will have to shut at 11pm perhaps would be more acceptable to in northern ireland under new rules the british people. you know what for the hospitality sector. they come in at midnight tonight. the british people. you know what the argument is, at the time when the argument is, at the time when the number of deaths, which is at first minister arlene foster 71, the number of deaths, which is at 7i, twice as many as a week ago, said there could be "no exceptions" to the rule, when the number of people on and it would also apply to weddings ventilators has doubled in ten days, and other social events. four councils in north wales the prime minister has to act are to go into local lockdown. swiftly to control the rising rate

from 6pm tomorrow, people will not of infections, and might argue that be able to leave or go into conwy, you are undermining him as he tries denbighshire, flintshire, and wrexham unless they have to do that? i'm afraid that argument a " reasonable excuse" like work or education. just doesn't hold water. the truth they are the same restrictions is, parliament can pass legislation, as seen in most of south wales, and has done in the past, within a where lockdowns cover day. so you could bring in something 11 different areas. planned surgeries have been in parliament today and have it in temporarily stopped at a hospital force later that evening so i'm in south wales in a bid to deal afraid that doesn't wash. if you with a rise in coronavirus cases. just take the rule of six, it was the royal glamorgan hospital in llantrisant has 82 cases linked lea ked just take the rule of six, it was leaked first to the media, then it to transmission on the site. was announced in parliament, and patients who would usually be taken thenit was announced in parliament, and then it came into force on several to the a&e department will be sent days later. so, there was no problem to hospitals in bridgend, merthyr tydfil or cardiff instead. at all in having that issue properly coventry university has strongly debated in parliament and voted on. condemned footage of a party it was just that we had this believed to have involved emergency legislation that was dozens of students. brought in when parliament was not footage shows them in a private sitting and not operating, so accommodation block ignoring social therefore you had to give the powers distancing guidelines to the ministers. now we have a and the rule of six. proper, functioning parliament, why don't we have the normal democratic they can be seen climbing on top of table tennis process ? tables at arundel house, don't we have the normal democratic process? i've not found anyone who close to coventry university's main campus. can answer that question of why the

democratic process shouldn't be operating at the moment. is it a a spokesman said the university was aware of the incident and said good look that the prime minister any students found to be in breach isn't across the detail of his own of their code of conduct could face rules and is ridiculed for not disciplinary proceedings. 00:08:10,785 --> 2147483051:40:50,107 as one new restriction 2147483051:40:50,107 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 has followed another, knowing, as we saw yesterday, and does his confusion on the new rules perhaps strengthen your case? well, i think it does. i have no idea what all the rules and regulations are at the moment because they're rushed out by, i don't know, is it a tweet ora out by, i don't know, is it a tweet or a press release? i don't even know how they become knowledge these days, they certainly don't go through parliament. and it's not surprising that we had a government minister in yesterday morning not knowing the answer on something, and the prime minister not knowing the answer, that's because they have not been properly gone through and scrutinised, if they had, not only would parliament know what it is, the media would know, and therefore the media would know, and therefore the people would know what the arguments and the new laws are. it is an incredible way to behave. the one person who should know is the man who brought them in, the prime

minister. but the prime minister didn't bring them in, did he? who did? these are brought in by ministers, aren't they? whether it's the transport minister, the education minister... he signs it off? well, does he? you seem to know more about how he is process works thanl more about how he is process works than i do. at the moment ijust don't know how these laws are brought in. they are not discussed in parliament, they are not voted on. somebody appearsjust to sign them off and i don't think that is them off and i don't think that is the prime minister, i think it's individual secretaries of state. it is wholly unsatisfactory. can ijust check, is the prime minister and in charge at the moment or not? the prime minister is in charge of the government but that doesn't mean that all the regulation... i would find it extraordinary if every single new regulation that came into effect had gone through with the prime minister shot signature on it. i would have thought that this has been delegated to various

secretaries of state, it is not the way we should be doing things in this country, absolutely not. i am a great supporter of boris, i went up and down the country urging people to vote for him in the conservative leadership election, i think he's a first—class prime minister, but this is about getting back to parliamentary democracy. is about getting back to parliamentary democracylj is about getting back to parliamentary democracy. i think some people might be quite taken aback that the prime minister doesn't, as far as you're suggesting, see all these rules that are brought in, especially the big ones like the role of six? now, you're talking about the big ones, of course the big ones... but he clearly didn't know about the detail of the rules in the north—east yesterday, and i don't know what they are, i don't know if you know what they are, i hope that all these people know what they are, but it is not the way to do it, is it? we have got some viewers, this one says... you sound disappointed that someone actually supports the idea of democratic... this one says...

heading down a dangerous road when those in power can make new laws undemocratically. this one says... i think there needs to be far more scrutiny and more cross—party working and not just scrutiny and more cross—party working and notjust on covid. 0ur country is in a huge crisis and we need to pull together. this one says... it is appalling when we have a prime minister who does not know his own rules. i have lost faith in this government. this one says... we elect a parliament and at a time of crisis it is imperative that decisions affecting our society and economy for decades are openly made, subject to scrutiny and democratic. yes, parliament needs no involvement in new covid laws... we will see what happens today, mr bo, because you may not get a vote on it and the only way you may get to register your discontent would be by voting against the coronavirus act, would you be prepared to do that? absolutely. really? absolutely, why do we need these emergency? because

as you know we are in an unprecedented crisis and the death rate has doubled in a week we died but why couldn't all of the things which are being done by ministers have been done by parliament? there is no need for these emergency measures, they were brought in because we are at the height of a pandemic, when parliament was not sitting and operating.|j pandemic, when parliament was not sitting and operating. i see any reason, what advantage has that act got now? ijust don't see why government ministers making decisions is better than parliament making decisions. so, the logic is, why do we need the act? thank you very much for your time, peter bone, conservative mp, who is prepared to vote against the renewal of the emergency coronavirus act later. please get in touch. an "extraordinary person", an "irreplacable figure" and "very good at his job". just some of the tributes to metropolitan police

0fficer matt ratana, who was shot by a handcuffed suspect who was in police custody in croydon. new zealand rugby has said his loss is being felt hard across the rugby and police community in both the uk and new zealand. members of east grinstead rugby club, where the custody sergeant was head coach, say he was inspirational. with me is henry weller, who was coached by matt ratana. and i'm joined by harrison berry, who joined east grinstead rugby club in 2018 and knew sergeant ratana. thank you both of you for talking to us thank you both of you for talking to us in such a sad and tragic circumstances. henry weller, what was matt like as a coach and also as a human being? i think he was very inspirational to notjust my

it wasn't for him i don't think i would be playing rugby at this point. i remember that would be playing rugby at this point. i rememberthat sunday would be playing rugby at this point. i remember that sunday after it happened, i had a match at home, and matt heard about it and he talked to me on a one—on—one and i still remember what he said. he said to me, if that player in front of he was trying to get behind you to hurt your mum, if you have the ball, go into contact and hit them hard as you can, or if they have the ball, tackle them as hard as you can, and that stuck with me even to this day now. henry, what did the club mean to matt? because i know, i think you and hejoined to matt? because i know, i think you and he joined at the same time? yes, we bothjoined at and he joined at the same time? yes, we both joined at the and he joined at the same time? yes, we bothjoined at the same time. he especially thought it was just another family. like, it especially thought it was just anotherfamily. like, it was especially thought it was just another family. like, it was such a massive, big community within east grinstead, like, we all got along

like brothers and sisters, and we just became one. i think he really inspired and pushed for club culture, and that is why the club is where it is at the moment. we've got a women's team, we've got a social touch team, we got two men's teams, a vets team, he just brought it altogether for the whole club and notjust himself. he sounds absolutely amazing and the tributes you are both paying to him are so moving. harrison, how are you going to keep matt's legacy alive, do you think? honestly, every tuesday, every thursday, and we have a tens tournament this saturday which i will be attending, so all i can do for matt and his legacy is turn up as much as possible and be there for

him. and what would you say, henry? he always said, make sure you stay as one another, next to you in a huddle is your brother and you're going to war for your brother. so, i am just trying to make sure the club stays as one and make sure that everyone , stays as one and make sure that everyone, there is no bad blood between each other, make sure everyone puts in that little extra mile and make sure the club gets where it needs to be, because we are so where it needs to be, because we are so much better than where we are at the moment. like, we have succeeded so the moment. like, we have succeeded so much since matt has come in and we are so so much since matt has come in and we are so grateful and thankful for what he has done for the club. and you clearly both want to keep that going. thank you both of you for paying tribute to matt this morning, harrison and henry weller, thank you. a shipment of british

beef will be exported to the united states today — the first of its kind since 1996. american authorities banned beef from the eu in the wake of the bse outbreak, otherwise known as mad cow disease, but the restrictions were lifted in march. ministers say the export was an historic moment for british farming. royal dutch shell has said it plans to cut up to 9,000 jobs as it responds to challenges including the slump in oil demand amid the covid—19 pandemic. the oil giant said the cuts would be implemented by 2022 and included 1,500 people who were taking voluntary redundancy. it gave no indication of where the job losses would happen. shell's chief executive said the job cuts were "the right thing to do for the future of the company" as it strives to become a net—zero emissions energy business. a hydrogen—powered train has travelled on britain's rail network for the first time ever, reaching speeds of up to 50mph. the prototype train, called the hydroflex, made a 25—mile round trip in warwickshire, all while producing zero emissions.

0ur transport correspondent tom burridge was on board. a 20—mile hydrogen powered round trip and a first for uk rail. here we are, uk mainline between evesham and longmardsen running on completely clean, green electricity. hydrogen fuel cell and battery, it's a massive moment. on board, hydrogen is mixed with oxygen to produce electricity to power the motors. having trains that can run on hydrogen power means they can run where there aren't overhead wires. where there isn't electricity available, we can run trains that emit zero emissions. this is a prototype, so its maximum speed is about 50mph. it takes most of the day to fill up its hydrogen tanks on board, and then it can travel about 100 miles. the challenge now is to get all of this equipment underneath the train so we can have passengers inside and

run on the service. the aim is for paying passengers to travel on trains like this one by the end of next year. the project has the government's backing. the hope with this is to get it up to 200 miles at a normal line speed and getting all the infrastructure in place will be important. and that's the broader challenge, having enough hydrogen available to power trains in the future, and ensuring that the hydrogen itself is sourced in a sustainable way. tom burridge, bbc news, in warwickshire. helen reddy, the australian singer behind the 1972 feminist anthem i am woman, has died at the age of 78. #in # in numbers too big to ignore... her family described her as "a truly formidable

woman", saying, "our hearts are broken, but we take comfort in the knowledge that her voice will live on forever". in one of the most popular shows of the ‘80s and ‘90s, the grotesque caricatures of spitting image pulled no punches as they took regular aim at celebrities and public figures likejohn major and the royal family. now, after a 24—year absence, it's back, with new puppets including the sussexes, boris johnson and russian president vladimir putin. roger law, the co—creator of the show, explained that he believes the time is right for spitting image to make a return, as politics and public life have become more divisive. it's much bigger this time, there's about 100 puppets made already, and the show is global, it goes out all over the place, you know. it's rather difficult for an old guy to know —— an old guy like me to know some of the people i'm caricaturing. there is a lot of division out there

and people are really upset about a lot of things, and i think that's why ina lot of things, and i think that's why in a way i've been allowed out—of—the—box again, quite frankly. when i was much longer i never could understand why people didn't see what i was seeing. —— when i was much younger. you won't with this politician, richard nixon, but it was quite clear who he was from one glance. and of course you didn't have much trouble caricaturing him, really. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello there. 0ur weather is turning increasingly unsettled with wet and windy weather really through the rest of this week and into the weekend as well. today, bright spells initially across eastern england but cloud will gather, outbreaks of rain will be very slowly moving eastwards through the day so we will all get rain at times. eventually the rain eases off a little bit across western areas, but showers follow and there won't be a great deal of sunshine either. a cooler kind of day — 1a to 17 degrees for most. 0vernight tonight, rain slowly clears away from eastern england but could lighter in scotland for much of the night in the east.

clear skies in the north—west, meanwhile will allow temperatures to drop into single figures so it will be quite a cold night ahead. thursday, the rain is still around across eastern scotland. a drier, sunnier slice of weather for all of us tomorrow, but then into the afternoon showers return to northern ireland, wales and south—west england. those showers heavy and quite blustery and a cooler feeling day — 12 to 15 degrees. then we're watching out for some strong winds on friday. hello this is bbc news with vic debryshire. the headlines: personal attacks and feisty exchanges from the men who want to be the next president of the united states — millions tune into the first presidential tv debate. i am not going to answer the question because... why won't you answer that question? because the question is... ..radical left... will you shut up, man. the men insulted each other and argued about america's response to coronavirus,

race and tax. people out there need help. but why didn't you do it over the last 25 years. because because you are president, screwing things up. because, because you are president, screwing things up. you were a senator... you are the worst president america has ever had, come on. let me just say, joe, i have done more in 47 months, i've done more than you've done in 47 years, joe. new restrictions come in across the north east of england — with a ban on people meeting other households. banaz mahmod from south london was killed aged 20 by her father and uncle after they said she'd shamed their family. 13 years on, still in hiding in witness protection after giving evidence against her own family, her sister has this warning... do you think what happened to your sister could yet happen now? absolutely. maybe not down to the tee how my sister's situation went, but i still think there's space for error. they're not fully trained, they still don't do what they need to be doing.

almost a million women have missed a mammogram appointment because of the pandemic — according to a breast cancer charity. and coming up this hour — the return of spitting image, almost 36 years after it first aired on british tv — now including harry and meghan, borisjohnson and donald trump. sport, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's jane dougal. national league clubs have been told they will receive emergency grants to enable them to start the new season on saturday. clubs have been in talks with the government and the fa over their future after the decision to scrap plans for a gradual return of fans to matches. the department of culture, media and sport said yesterday that they would receive financial support, although no details have been confirmed. many clubs said they couldn't afford to start the season without crowds. jose mourinho had written off

tottenham's chances against chelsea in the league cup before the game, but they're through to the quarter—finals, so that won't help with the fixture congestion he's been complaining about. and there was almost more drama off the pitch than on it last night. spurs were 1—0 down in the second half, when mourinho stormed down the tunnel in pursuit of eric dier, who'd suddenly run off with no explanation. it turned out to have been an urgent call of nature and dier was soon back in action. shortly afterwards mourinho was smiling again, when tottenham equalised through eric lamela. it went straight to penalties, and after the first nine were scored, mason mount‘s miss sent tottenham through. dier was named man of the match and this is what he posted on social media... "if you've got to go, you've got to go."

england rugby union manager, eddiejones, will be concerned about injuries to two of his key players last night. northampton forward courtney lawes suffered an ankle injury in the eighth minute of their defeat to sale. four minutes later, sharks centre manu tuilagi also had to be helped off the field after picking up an achilles injury. england play their last re—arranged six nations match against italy in a month's time, with the new nations cup starting a fornight later. st helens absolutely thumped wigan 112—0, to go to the top of the superleague table. wigan were the leaders at the start of the night, but this was a much—changed side, with six debutants. regan grace got two of st helens seven tries. heather watson has said she's worried about the future of british tennis, after becoming the final brit to be knocked out in the first round of the french open singles. watson questioned the funding set—up, saying, "i don't see who's next." she was beaten in straight

sets by fiona ferro. she's lost six straight matches since the professional game returned last month. there are no british players in round two at roland garros for the first time in seven years. i think personally that more players need to get help rather than just just helping get selected. i don't know how many there are, and ifeel like there needs to be a bigger pool of support, and then in that way, you are not spoiled and you are not given everything at a young age, and you need to work for it and learn the grind and the hard work of the tour, and what it takes. the newest team in netball‘s superleague, leeds rhinos, have made their first signing. and it's england's most capped player, jade clarke, who joins after two seasons at wasps. she's played 176 times for her country and was part

of the team that won gold at the commonwealth games two years ago. the campaign is due to start in february, after the last superleague season was abandoned because of the coronovirus. that's all the sport for now, we'll have more later. banaz mahmod from south london was killed aged 20 by her own father and uncle, after they said she'd shamed their family. her case has been the subject of an itv drama this week, called ‘honour‘. now her older sister bekhal has chosen to speak out for the first time since she gave evidence against her relatives at their old bailey trial 13 years ago. she tells me that what happened to her younger sibling could still happen now. bekhal mahmod is in witness protection and has been in hiding since her testimony in court. she says she's afraid for her life.

in this exclusive interview, her words are spoken for her to protect her identity. it is not something that goes away overnight, or in a few years. this is going to be hanging over my head for the rest of my life. are you, even now, 1a years on, always looking over your shoulder? absolutely, yes. all of the time. sometimes it is worse, the feelings of being nervous and insecure. but it does not get better. there are days and times of the year when it is bad and it flares up, worse than any other time of the year. but i am a lwa ys any other time of the year. but i am always looking over my shoulder, definitely. what do you worry could happen to you? same thing as banaz. being attacked, tortured and killed? yes, if not worse. did you think yourfamily was yes, if not worse. did you think your family was capable of what they did to your sister? yes i did, i

used a picture that. i didn't think they would actually go to that extent. it is unforgettable and hard to live with, daily. what do you remember most about your sister? she was very remember most about your sister? she was very respectful of other people and their needs and wants. she was a calm person, never lost her cool. she was always thinking of others before herself, that is why everything has happened the way it has, she put other people's needs before her own. so you think if she left the family home, she might not be dead now? absolutely, if she had the support of the people she went to for help and if they had done what they should have to begin with, ido what they should have to begin with, i do think she would have still been here, definitely. your father, his brother, your uncle did what they did to your sister. because they felt she had shamed your family, did to your sister. because they felt she had shamed yourfamily, she

had left the husband that she had been forced to marry in an arranged marriage and she had fallen in love with a young iranians man. what do you think about what they did to your sister? it is out of this world, it is inhuman. arne means protecting the people you love, your children, yourfamily. protecting the people you love, your children, your family. what protecting the people you love, your children, yourfamily. what they protecting the people you love, your children, your family. what they did was the opposite. what they have done is unforgivable and unforgettable. the effect it has had on me, on other people that were close to banaz. this is your very first broadcast interview since the trial which was 13 years ago, the summer of 2007, why do you want to speak out now? the situation hasn't really changed much. the way things are dealt with by the police, social services, other groups and

organisations. it hasn't changed as much as it should have by now. i think the more light shed on that situation the more we learn from it and the better everyone will be. but you think even now, not enough has changed since the murder of your sister? no, i don't think it has. so what else needs to change? so much, helplines are underfunded, they are run into the ground because they don't have the funds they need. run into the ground because they don't have the funds they needlj wa nt to don't have the funds they needlj want to ask you how much the police have progressed when it comes to dealing with honour —based abuse and violence? ba naz, dealing with honour —based abuse and violence? banaz, your sister had contacted the police on five separate occasions. herfather, your father had tried to kill her previously on new year's eve in 2005, forced her to drink a bottle of brandy but she escaped by smashing a window and went to the police, who thought she was making it up. they thought she was a

fantasist. she also wrote down the names of the men who tried to kill her and gave it to the police. she couldn't have done any more. do you think what happened to your sister could yet happen now? absolutely. maybe not down to the t as my sister's situation went, but there is still space for error. they are not fully trained, they're still not doing what they should be doing. the police may argue they have got better understanding this violence, these kinds of crimes since the m ista kes these kinds of crimes since the mistakes she made —— they made when your sister turn to them for help. there is a tool in place which helps the police assess the risk to an individual and officers are trained to be aware of the science of honour —based abuse? to be aware of the science of honour -based abuse? but how often is this

training happening and how often is it put into practice and properly reviewed? do you think that cultural sensitivities were a factor in why the police didn't take your sister's report seriously enough? they didn't wa nt to report seriously enough? they didn't want to get involved in case they we re want to get involved in case they were accused of racism? yes i do, i do believe that. they don't do enoughin do believe that. they don't do enough in general but to say we don't want to be involved in this community because we don't want to upset their beliefs or their religion, is not good enough. at the end of the day, what is better, to lose a life or upset someone? according to the un, there are estimated to be 12 to 15 such killings in the uk each year. on a —based killings. do you believe that figure, or do you believe it could be higher? i do think that could be higher because it's not always happening on british soil. it could be that family members are taking

young females abroad for arranged marriages. what happens if something happens to them over there? people think it is only cases where they are reported in england it is happening. 12 or 15? are reported in england it is happening. 12 or15? i are reported in england it is happening. 12 or 15? i don't believe that to be the right number, to be honest. i believe it is higher. when you look back at you giving evidence against members of your own family, against members of your own family, against your own father, against your uncle to explain how they treated you and your sister and the fa ct treated you and your sister and the fact that you have had to go into witness protection and will have to be in hiding for the rest of your life, do you think you did the right thing in giving evidence? absolutely. yeah, i wish i could have done more at that time. i couldn't do a lot more at the time, but i wish i had done more in terms of taking her away from the situation. and if there is someone watching you now and listening to

you speak who thinks they are in a family, ina you speak who thinks they are in a family, in a relationship, in a partnership with someone who is oppressing them, abusing them, physically hurting them, what would you say to them? build up the courage to walk away. that is no kind of life. i couldn't put up with it any more and i had to step away. ijust it any more and i had to step away. i just literally got the courage it any more and i had to step away. ijust literally got the courage one day to put one foot in front of the other and just keep walking. we were all put on this planet to have a life, who is to say you can live like this? you cannot live like this. you cannot wear this, you cannot go there. as long as you are being a decent human being and living the right way, you have to have some sort of life you can enjoy. bekhal, not her name any more because she is witness protection.

we spoke to the home office about banaz mahmod's killing. a spokeman told us... "the government is committed to eradicating all forms of so called honour—based abuse. to do this we need a strong and effective police force which can protect victims and see perpetrators brought tojustice. if you've been affected by so—called honour based violence or forced marriage, southall black sisters can provide practical support and counselling. their helpline is 0208 571 9595. we will talk to them live in the next hour. let's talk more about that first presidential tv debate between donald trump and joe biden, which took place overnight. there's been loads of reaction on social media — with conspiracy theories spreading like wildfire and far—right extremist group the proud boys celebrating the comments made by president trump. amongst those who've been active on social media since the debate are members of the right—wing extremist group who call themselves the proud boys. at one point in the debate,

president trump was almost everything i have seen is from the left wing. what do you want to see. i want to see peace. what do you want to call them, give me a name. stand back and stand by, but i tell you what, somebody has got to do something about antifa and the left. 0ur specialist disinformation reporter, marianna spring, is with me. tell us more about the proud boys and antifa ? tell us more about the proud boys and antifa? the proud boys are these far right, and immigrant group and they have following on social media as stand back, stand by which they use as a call to arms. they have been sharing his comments, praising them, they have created a new logo for themselves in order to rejoice that and they very much see this as

an endorsement of their group, opposed to what the trump campaign argue is trump batting down and rejecting this movement. proud boys have been vocal about fighting antifa, which trump has accused of being involved in violence in the us, with baseless claims. antifa trended overnight during the debate because joe trended overnight during the debate becausejoe biden trended overnight during the debate because joe biden came trended overnight during the debate becausejoe biden came out and said antifa is an idea and not an organisation. republican supporters we re organisation. republican supporters were critical of that, referencing their own conspiracy theories to do with this group, suggesting they have been involved in setting fires or causing violence on the street, which has often been unfounded. tell us about the most popular conspiracy theories? the most popular conspiracy theory to start before the debate began. it was this unfounded claim that joe the debate began. it was this unfounded claim thatjoe biden was trying to wear an ear piece, a

listening device in his ear during the debate and was refusing to let the debate and was refusing to let the trump campaign check his ears. by the trump campaign check his ears. byjim's campaign came out and said this is rubbish but it did not stop the trump campaign sending out a text m essa g e the trump campaign sending out a text message about this conspiracy theory once it had gone viral on facebook and twitter. it was helping going viral with groups, far right conspiracy theory that believes president trump is fighting a satanic war against paedophiles. that conspiracy theory has continued into the money here. this is an earpiece and occasionally people talk to you in it and the point they we re talk to you in it and the point they were making about biden, they could not think of his own answer so they would have to have someone telling him what to say in his earpiece? yes, but it is easy to spot. yes, it is massive, it takes up your whole ear! but he wasn't wearing one and there is no evidence to support

that. the other popular facebook posts and tweets have been in relation to comments trump made about a sheriff who endorsed him in portland. the sheriff came out and said that is not the case, i did not endorse trump at all. so what impact does the social media conversation and some of the disinformation on social media have when it comes to this election in america? people will hear about the debates what they see on facebook, instagram and these kinds of claims being made, conspiracy theories or these extremist groups, these are the things they will be talking about as opposed to the big topics the candidates address last night. like you very much, nice to see you. a breast cancer charity says almost a million women have missed a mammogram appointment because of the coronavirus pandemic. breast cancer now, say thousands

of cancers could be undetected with their diagnosis delayed. breast cancer screening services were paused during the height of the pandemic to help free up emergency nhs resources. they have now resumed. one of the people affected by the delay is susan daniels, who couldn't rebook her screening earlier this year, and later discovered a lump which turned out to be cancerous. i found the breast test wales organisation in march to rebook the screening, but unfortunately the screening, but unfortunately the screening services were postponed because of the pandemic. whether it is subconsciously or subconsciously, i don't know but i checked and found a small lump in my left breast. co nta cted a small lump in my left breast. contacted my gp, who immediately referred me to the rapid diagnosis, whereupon it was discovered i had actually breast cancer in both breasts and this was picked up obviously in the mammogram i had through the diagnosis service. she

is one of many women who missed the mammogram appointment. joining me now is baroness delyth morgan, the chief executive of the charity breast cancer now. i wonder how worrying this is for all those women who have missed their mammogram? i think it is very worrying. what i am concerned about is we have this backlog, almost a million women. we know there are many cancers that could be going undetected and of course, we are also looking at new pressures on the health system coming up. we really need a practical, well thought through plan for how we are going to get through this backlog and face the next stage of the pandemic while giving women potentially with breast cancer, the best possible chance of survival. and that comes with early diagnosis. indeed it does. i have a statement from nhs england. the vast majority of cancers detected through screening programmes like mammograms

are ata screening programmes like mammograms are at a very early stage. so any impact on patients who are due to be screened is extremely low. is that right? i think that may be not taking it quite as seriously as we really need to. so there is this backlog and even if the screening service is back up and running, how are we going to clear the backlog? now with the need for safety around covid—19, it will take longer to have each screening, the machines will have to be cleaned and so there will have to be cleaned and so there will be a reduction in capacity. we need a serious plan and we need to ta ke need a serious plan and we need to take this very seriously. we are talking about early diagnosis, it is very important in how we tackle cancer in this country and breast cancer, you know, affects 50,000 women, they are diagnosed in the non—pandemic year. that is a lot of women who will be affected by this problem. the statement goes on, more

than 200,000 people were treated for cancer during the peak of the pandemic. breast screening services are up and running with over 400,000 women invited betweenjune and august and thousands more invites are being sent out every month. we would encourage anyone who is invited to book an appointment. it doesn't sound like there is a plan, just that they are trying to catch up? i think they will be trying to catch up, they will be trying to catch up, they will be trying to catch up, they will be trying to do their best and i know eve ryo ne trying to do their best and i know everyone in the nhs are trying to absolutely do their best. but we cannot let this slip, we cannot allow a further backlog to develop. how are we going to tackle this? we could be looking at 8000 plus breast cancer is going undiagnosed so far through this pandemic. is that what you think? yes, absolutely. in terms of numbers, 8000 individuals where a cancer has not been diagnosed?

potentially, yes. that is what it means if a million women have not been called for screening. it's not that the screening service has to be up that the screening service has to be up and running, we need a plan to deal with the backlog and make sure another backlog doesn't develop as we go into the second way. another backlog doesn't develop as we go into the second waylj another backlog doesn't develop as we go into the second way. i have a message from becky on twitter. i am over due my first routine mammogram. i called the local pct running the programme fulcher, i was told there was no plans to stop the screening until april next year and there were over 4000 people to be seen! that is very over 4000 people to be seen! that is very concerning. over 4000 people to be seen! that is very concerning. what i would say to anyone who is worried about potentially some abnormality in their breast, they go to their gp. you know, we know the nhs is open for business, there has been public campaigns running with that message. go to yourgp campaigns running with that message. go to your gp and tell your gp about the symptoms and they should be able to refer you into the system for

diagnostic tests. it is really important that women are breast aware, that they look for what is normalfor aware, that they look for what is normal for them aware, that they look for what is normalfor them and aware, that they look for what is normal for them and if they notice any changes that they seek help from theirgp and get any changes that they seek help from their gp and get a referral if necessary. thank you very much, thank you for talking to us. baroness dellit morgan, the chief executive of breast cancer now. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. the weather turned increasingly u nsettled the weather turned increasingly unsettled over the next few days with spells of rain and it is going to become increasingly windy as the week goes by as well. today, wet and windy best sums up the weather forecast because we have got low pressure to the north west of scotla nd pressure to the north west of scotland and this cloud you can see here pushing eastwards across the uk, is rain bearing clouds. we have already seen the rain arrive across western areas, where it has been a wet morning so far. the rain band, particularly slow moving, will

gradually push eastwards so after a bright start across parts of eastern england, the clouds will gather and the rain will arrive and become persistent as we head through the afternoon. the rain will ease off to afternoon. the rain will ease off to a degree across western areas later on. but it stays cloudy with showers following quickly behind the main band of rain. still the risk of some wet weather to end the day, even in the west. 0vernight, the rain moves away from eastern england but it loitered in northern and eastern scotla nd loitered in northern and eastern scotland throughout the night. clearer skies follow to the west so here it ten with temperatures getting down into low, single figures. looking at the weather picture into thursday, still reign to come across eastern areas eastern areas of scotland. brighter weather for a time with some sunshine before the next batch of heavy downpours work into northern ireland, wales and south—west england through thursday afternoon. it will be a cooler day as well, temperatures 12 to 15 degrees. to the end of the week on friday, a nasty area of low pressure will develop near to our

shores. this looks quite likely to become a named storm, but at the moment the most damaging wind gusts looked to be across the north—west of france. it could be it is the french authorities that named this stuff. i wouldn't be surprised if he saw coastal gusts of 70 to 80 mph. a small change in the position of the low could send the strong winds the moment it at the moment it looks like being a windy day with gales across southern part of england and south—west england through thursday afternoon. it will be a cooler day as well, temperatures 12 to 15 degrees. to the end of the week on friday, a nasty area of low pressure will develop near to our shores. this looks quite likely to become a named storm, but at the moment the most damaging wind gusts looked to be across the north—west of france. it could be it is the french authorities that named this stuff. i wouldn't be surprised if he saw coastal gusts of 70 to 80 mph. a small change in the position of the low could send the strong winds into the uk. at the moment it looks like being a windy day with gales across southern part of england and southern part of england and southern wales. heavy outbreaks of rain around as well in northern ireland and scotland have the best of the weather. stay tuned to the forecast because they could be some changes. into the weekend, low
