g f’féafr=':'w~féf’ w icli"-'鑧-":'*":fé agreement described by stephanie williams, the acting united nations envoy to libya. it seems important parties are not actually signed up to this agreement but one has to really hope that in and is in sight, because the fate of the civilians caught up in his terrible turmoil has been catastrophic. us move on to the new york times are talking about how russia is still an election threat. what have they allegedly been up to? that we don't really know what they have been up to because no one knows yet, but there are rumours and reported in the new york times the russians are going to intervene in the election. not exactly certain when, or whether they're going to sort of try and drink the ballots in some way, and we know that already 50 million people have voted in early voting and through the postal voting system in the us. which is a huge number, a

lot of them are democrats who are very mobilised and want to get their manjoe very mobilised and want to get their man joe biden across the line very mobilised and want to get their manjoe biden across the line and we know that the russians have got form on this. last time in 2016 it was widely reported that the russians had successfully managed to hack the e—mails of hillary clinton's chairman of her campaign. got access to 60,000 e—mails and created all sorts of havoc over there and that 0bama actually responded it is time saying that retaliatory action would be taken at a moment of the us's choosing. we are there again and the russians are, have always been pretty active in trying to interfere in other people's democratic processes. i'm not exactly sure they planned to get donald trump to win la st planned to get donald trump to win last time but i don't think there would have been disappointed that he did stop by if you think they are interfering that that is the play at this time, to actually try and retain donald trump in the white

house? what i think is interesting and caught my attention is very much that it would particularly, it's alleged by the fbi, by the cia, accused here of trying to intervene if and when to commit the result is very close. that's when they would seek to intervene. what is also i think interesting and very relevant and somewhat worrying and perplexing is the fact that allegedly the russians have targeted aviation data as well. now when the trump administration the last few days have been particularly singling out iran and not russia, it's interesting that what we have been getting from the intelligence services, they are underlining that russia is a much bigger threat than iran. the time to the front page article about russia saying... the uk targeted putin allies. what has

he been saying? saying that the uk government has indeed been targeting putin allies, and as we know it re ce ntly left putin allies, and as we know it recently left his cabinet secretary and much freer now to pick about certain things like this. we know that there have been serious tensions between the uk and russian governments particularly in light of the poisoning of alexi recently on an internal flight from siberia. recovering for a period of time in a german hospital in berlin, and has vowed to go back to russia to continue his fight against the regime. but also we had the attempted poisoning of sergey in salisbury that led to the innocent death of a british lady, and we had the murder of alexander litvinenko.

the government is going to try to clamp down on russia can we have the mh 17 debacle when sobhi people lost their lives when a rocket was, a plane was shot out of the sky and it was alleged to have been russian involvement in that. let's move onto a very british story in the daily telegraph at the headline says the national trust faces an inquiry into their purpose, what are they doing wrong? they are clearly not, according to the charity commission, following their purpose. and therefore that is being questioned. a p pa re ntly therefore that is being questioned. apparently they were warned about this conclusion in this report, and it will be very interesting. particularly in light of historic links and the financing of the buildings, historic buildings that

they protect and that are a part of their park if you will. it's going to be very interesting to see how this plays out. because what kind of sanctions can the charity commission actually take? and how will the national trust respond to that and how will the public respond to that? it's true the national trust has beenin it's true the national trust has been in quite a few headlines recently and not always in a very positive way. gone from being a charity institution too often questioned in the last few months. some people are not happy in the way the people pay for and helps to fund it. and how the money is being spent. our last story, the japan times. all about the free trade deal with japan and the times. all about the free trade deal withjapan and the uk, it is times. all about the free trade deal with japan and the uk, it is now been signed. liz, the foreign

minister or start the trade secretary, said it was a ground—breaking trade deal. is it? well, she's got a job to do and she is the cabinet minister in charge of securing trade deals which is the first one that she has done. of course she is going to big it up but one is better than nothing and it's a move in the right direction. effectively keeps what we already have when we were part of the eu trading block with what they had in place with japan. it trading block with what they had in place withjapan. it kind of keeps that and gets a little bit more on she's which liz was fighting a big battle over to try and get a better deal for cheap manufacturers in the uk. it is important because there is significant japanese investment in the car industry in the uk and it does set the right tone for global britain going forward. but the real deal that has to be done as we know

is the one with the eeo. it's pleasing to see that those talks are back on and we will have to see where it goes. thank you both for taking us through the papers. we will be back a little later in just over an hour to look at more stories being covered by the papers. goodbye for now. hello, i'm jane dougall with your latest sports news. a patrick bamford hatrick spoiled aston villa's plans to go top of the premier league tonight. villa had had a 100% record before defeat to leeds. it took bamford 55 minutes to break the deadlock, this was his second in the 67th with a stunning shot from the edge of the box. just a few minutes later he got to keep the match ball. dodging four villa shirts to shoot into the top left corner.

the 3—0 win moves leeds up to third in the table. villa stay second. it's a dream come true, i think before the game at a feeling that i would score. probably testament to the way teams work. i think that without them i would not be able to score the goals that i have it. it will be telling my kids at some point in the future about this and i'm surei point in the future about this and i'm sure i will never forget it. a convincing win for scotland women who were back in action after seven months away from the game. they beat albania 3—0 in their european qualifier. a caroline weir free kick set up captain rachel corsie to get the first goal in the first half. weir then got two of her own, including a penalty in injury time. scotland play finland next on tuesday. and in rugby, scotland men have beaten georgia 48—7 in their international test match at murrayfield. three tries in the first half put scotland in a commanding 17—0 lead at half—time, and after the break — gregor townsend's side scored five more, including this one from debutant duhan van der merwe.

the brazillian turns 80 today and has celebrated his birthday, in a rather unusual way. many footballers have released singles, but usually at the height of their careers. to celebrate becoming an octogenarian pele has released a song telling people to "listen to the old man". good advice as patrick geary reports! these pictures are half a century old but they still crackle with energy. the man they shipped climbing to the top of the world is now 80 and the time has slowed pele it has not silenced him. always a lover of music, this is his new single. listen to the old man. fitting then that he also released it. translation: about my 80 years, first i have to thank god for giving me health so i can be here today, lucid. many times not so smart but lucid. jokes apart, i can be here lucid

and be welcomed anywhere i go. the question of who is football's greatest is impossible to ever fully answer. depending on how you wait history, judge style and analyse numbers. it is difficult to even count exactly how many goals pele scored and is less chronicled eight we know him he won three world cups and was voted the player of the last century and once start alongside sylvester stallone. introducing pele. you want to play football against the germans? why not. he is still football's leading man in many ways. one of the greatest players to ever don the boots. thank you for everything you've done. happy birthday. 2006 is one of the greatest days of my life when you give me the famous shirt with the number ten and your sonic was and i will keep that with me forever. happy birthday to his majesty, his highness, the one, the king. pelle celebrated his birthday away

from his adoring world. his beloved home country brazil is one of the worst hit by coronavirus but at this moment what better way than to toast a man who lit up football even in black—and—white. the legend. i cannot believe he is 80, he looks incredible. and that's all the sport for now. hello, a very unsettled weekend in prospect. we'll have some brisk winds blowing across the uk and with that, some outbreaks of heavy rain at times but not all the time. there will be some brighter glimpses as well. through saturday, we have this band of very heavy rain pushing its way eastwards, a short sharp burst of really intense rainfall, and squally gusty winds for just about all of us although that rain not getting into the far south—east until late in the day.

behind the rain band, a mix of sunshine and showers. windy for all but the very strongest winds will be along the line of this band of rain. temperatures, maybe 17 degrees in the south—east turning cooler to the north—west is our rain band clears through. that rain will linger for quite a while on saturday night across the south—east corner. further showers pushing in from the west. don't forget — through the early hours of sunday, the clocks go back an hour, the end of british summertime, but as far as the weather goes, well, summer has long since left us. an autumnal blustery day on sunday with some showers.
