helping koalas survive here is vital for australia's ecology. it's the one place where the animals are disease—free. for months now, hundreds of koalas have been looked after in the wildlife park, and it's been a long and tough journey for many of them. the aim is to get them strong enough to survive on their own here in the wild. and today, one of them is being released. after ten months of care, it's time for merton's big move. ready? are you watching? here goes the koala. 0h, here he goes! for dana, it's a bittersweet separation. there's no better feeling watching someone that you've helped either raise from a joey, or get through all of that treatment, and then get them back out to the wild, watching them climb back out of a tree, where they're meant to be. it'll take years for the island to recover, but it's hoped koalas like merton can still thrive

in a much changed habitat. bye — bye. bye—bye, koala. bye — bye, koala. shaimaa khalil, bbc news, kangaroo island. time for a look at the weather. here's helen willets. worth noting we have a major hurricane barrelling into nicaraguan and honduras, so keep an eye on that, more available on the news channel. in the uk, things have quietened down. we have had some stormy entry but weather, a handful of flood warnings out because of all the rain we had seen, but that should be ebbing away in the next couple of days. we are in folsom high pressure from the atlantic. all four days for most of us, three or four days for most of us, three or four decent days to enjoy the autumn colours, get out for a short walk and to exchange the gales and the

rain. we have had some winteriness over the hills and the showers across scotland continue today. we have the rain we will captain in the east clearing away, temperatures 68 degrees, down on yesterday, feeling chilly, that the winds are also a notch down. this evening a overnight the shell is macrophage, the winds full light across the south of the uk so for most of england and wales it will be the first widespread frost of the season overnight tonight, waking to frost on the cards first thing, potentially sending stanford, chilly for the far south of scotland and northern ireland, but for the north of scotla nd ireland, but for the north of scotland we have more cloud. we will pick up more cloud and rain later in the day but for most, a few showers in comparison to today. most places will escape them once the fog had cleared away, then we will see plenty of sunshine, lighter winds,

it will not feel as chilly but fog will be more of an issue through tomorrow, another really cold night tomorrow, another really cold night to england and wales, not as cold for scotland and northern ireland but thursday will dawn foggy. it could be our first widespread issue with fog on the faster routes in particular, it is not really clear much until mid to late morning, it could linger all day in some areas and it will be co—directors. low cloud drifting for scotland and northern ireland, 11 or 12 where it clears. the high pressure is with us for a few more days, frost and fog drifting further north, dange rifle most of us until the end of the weekend. that is all from the bbc news at one, we join the new schemes where you are. a very good afternoon.

good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. england have announced their white ball squads to tour south africa for the upcoming t20 and one day series, which start later this month. players in both will enter another biosecure bubble for the best part of a four and half weeks. captain eoin morgan has stressed the need to prioritise the mental health of players, as england navigate their way through the coronavirus pandemic. ben stokes, jofra archer and sam curran will head home after the t20 series, the first match is on the 27th november in cape town. durham's mark wood is named in both squads. for me, it has been awhile since i played a bit of cricket, so i'm looking forward to it. i think some of the lads have been in the ipl, so it will be important to look after them and of course from a cricketing point of view, they will be a battle hardened and ready to go and ready to show off those skills. for a couple of our lads that have been home like myself, we will build into

it, but we will be fresh from the knowledge that we have been at home, so knowledge that we have been at home, so mentally we will be quite fresh, so we so mentally we will be quite fresh, so we will have to look after each other in different ways, but i think going forward into south africa, there will be a lot of excitement because they are a good team and we know what lies at the end with a 2020 world cup. australia all—rounder shane watson has retired from all forms of cricket, ending a 20—year career. he played in 59 tests, as well as countless one—day internationals and t20 matches. he holds the record for the highest men's odi score for australia, making 185 against bangladesh in 2011. watson stepped down from international cricket four years ago but he was playing in the ipl until this season, until his side, chennai super kings, failed to make the play—off. government minister michael gove has apologised for creating confusion around the lockdown rules for grassroots sport. despite heavy campaigning, prime minister borisjohnson stated yesterday that golf and tennis would not be exempt from the rules.

but during a q&a session in his surrey constituency last night, gove suggested otherwise. he tweeted this morning... campaign groups have been arguing against the government's decision that all children's sport outside school must stop for the four—week lockdown period in england. former premier league and wales footballer robbie savage, has launched a petition, calling on the government to allow supervised youth team sport to continue. and he's been speaking passionately about what he described as the "nonsensical" rules. if schools were to close and grassroots was to stop, i totally get it. but the inconsistency about the tweet last night to stop households mixing. tell me why allowing school to continue but thousands of youngsters, for their mental

and physical well—being cannot participate. it is their out, kids can choose different pathways. these kids need a mental and physical activity to stimulate themselves on a weekend. it is ridiculous. rugby league has been hit by yet another coronavirus outbreak, with hull kr ending their super league season early. they say they're unable to field a team for their last three games, following the latest round of testing. three players were positive and two more received inconclusive results, with another five forced to self—isolate, in line with track and trace protocols. rovers already had nine players sidelined by injury and they're at the bottom of the table, but there's no relegation this season. so, they will be safe. and british number one dan evans has failed in his latest attempt to beat stan wawrinka. the swiss had won their last four meetings and he came out on top again at the paris masters, winning a tight match in straight sets. it was a blow for evans, who's reached the semi—finals at the last two atp events.

but he is well placed heading into the turn of the year. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. confirmation wales manager ryan giggs will not take charge of their next three matches following an allegation of assault. that is all from me for now, i be back with plenty more a later on. i just want to bring you a pic of breaking news. the comedian and actor john sessions has died, aged 67. he was best known for his work on spitting image and whose line is it anyway? he was also a character actor, appearing in films like kenneth branagh's henry the fifth and tv series including itv‘s victoria. let's ta ke let's take you to austria, because

the interior minister has been holding a news conference on those attacks and we can hear from him now. transition, ladies and gentlemen, we have to correct the figures. we have fourfigures gentlemen, we have to correct the figures. we have four figures who are dead and we have heard that 22 people have been injured. what about the difference in these numbers? this is due to the fact of the operation when there was a great deal of threat, the security forces had to act very quickly. they did great things. and the wounded were separated amongst the various hospitals in vienna and then it was difficult to allocate all the victims at this terror attack. i

would like to give my condolences and do condolences to all the families of the victims. —— dear condolences. a positive piece of information, the policeman who was injured in the operation has been operated on and the doctors say his state of health is stable and surgery was state of health is stable and surgery was successful. and now there is one item that is really important as an interior minister of the republic. so, the presidents and the republic. so, the presidents and the representatives of parliament and our chance let made it clear and a lwa ys and our chance let made it clear and always are going to make this clear, no terror attack is going to enable

our society to tear it apart or split it. this is not going to happen. there is one terrible thing, there is one positive example that should be mentioned that... more than ever, people believe if you use violence, terror or fear, than ever, people believe if you use violence, terror orfear, if you than ever, people believe if you use violence, terror or fear, if you try to split a society by those it is important to stand united, to make clear that freedom and our liberties are under visible —— under visible. the perpetrator was neutralised by the security forces very quickly and

was unable to attack after nine minutes because of the prepared action of the forces and it was possible to avoid worse events. at the same time, after the search of the same time, after the search of the flat of the perpetrator, there we re the flat of the perpetrator, there were 18 searchers in vienna and 14 people could be arrested and at this moment in time they are being questioned. now, about some details of the perpetrator. your 20 years old, of austrian citizenship, dual citizenship north macedonian and austrian foot at the perpetrator had an explosive belt, fortunately it turned out to be a fake. he had an

assault rifle and a pistol and also assault rifle and a pistol and also a machete. with all these deadly tools, he was trying to carry out his brutal attack against completely innocent victims. he already had a previous conviction. he wanted to join thejihad and previous conviction. he wanted to join the jihad and because previous conviction. he wanted to join thejihad and because he previous conviction. he wanted to join the jihad and because he wanted tojoina join the jihad and because he wanted tojoin a terroristic join the jihad and because he wanted to join a terroristic community of islamic state he was convicted. he received 22 years —— months of prison sentence and he was on early release. when trying to attack crime, there is a clear division of labour, so police is carrying out

investigations and the prosecutor is collecting evidence. then there is a trial and then there is a conviction. ajudgment trial and then there is a conviction. a judgment and trial and then there is a conviction. ajudgment and now trial and then there is a conviction. a judgment and now after this terrible terror attack, we can see a divide in the system. there was an early release from prison in that case of a radicalised. certainly in this case all try to do their very best and the fact is that their very best and the fact is that the terrorist was able to deceive the terrorist was able to deceive the deradicalisation programme, the people who took part in it and was able to be released early from prison and there was no warning previously about his radicalisation that means that from the point of

view of the interior ministry we need to evaluate the system and also in optimisation by the justice system to make sure that in the future we can combat more effectively radicalisation. the ministers of justice effectively radicalisation. the ministers ofjustice already mentioned that with the various security forces, intelligence forces as well, to make sure that potential attackers cannot see radicalisation —— can see radicalisation. it is going to take an influence for early prison release. the attack was complicated, because it took place at the same time in various places of the city at the same time and i

have got deep respect vis—a—vis the citizens. there was also a call not to use... to put all the mobile videos, to put them on a platform of the national police and intelligence services so that these videos can be evaluated and so with the help of the chief and the people of vienna, we got a lot of data. 20,000 videos we re we got a lot of data. 20,000 videos were uploaded. the experts of the criminal police and of the intelligence services are trying to evaluate all the videos we have got, so more evaluate all the videos we have got, so more than 50% of the videos have already been evaluated, but not all has been concluded. at the same time, when looking at the previous videos, we could not find any

indication of a second perpetrator, but because the evaluation has not been finished, we cannot finally say how many perpetrators, how many attackers, it would be responsible for this crime. that is because the investigation is still going on. we still have got a high security level thatis still have got a high security level that is going to be upheld in vienna and police is also going to remain there, because this is a very sensitive moment, and we do not want to have a copycat attack or repeat attack. and when i talked to the members of the government and of parliament, when i went to the police and when i laid a wreath and was commemorating the dead and the window, i would like to also make a personal remark. all the viennese people who like going out, they know

this area where the terrible attack occurred. normally it is one of the most, the best places to have fun in vienna. you can have lovely moments there and sometimes you might drink a little bit too much alcohol. however, again, very clear, today it was very different. everything was empty today. heavily armed policeman we re empty today. heavily armed policeman were on site and i would like to thank them very warmly, i would like to praise them for their work, but i have a great deal of respect for the work and for their great operation, many thanks to all services, security services, ambulances and for the cooperation also with the city of vienna, but today, the whole site, the whole place, was

com pletely site, the whole place, was completely different. it was empty, there was no joy. completely different. it was empty, there was nojoy. there is one completely different. it was empty, there was no joy. there is one thing that needs to be said. this is only temporary. we will not be deprived of our tolerance, our freedom, temporary. we will not be deprived of ourtolerance, ourfreedom, our life and living together in austria in the federal capital, we will not let it be destroyed and all those who are calling for radicalisation and want to achieve this, they need to expect the consequences of the state of law. thank you, thank you. ladies and gentlemen, in conjunction to what the minister said, i can say that it was of primary importance to deviate the danger. so it was really

important at the beginning when we learnt about the attack at so we can start investigations as far as the connections of the attacker was concerned, so it was possible in the early morning hours to have 14 arrests. when the flat of the attacker was searched, we found pieces of ammunition. yesterday, up to the attack, ladies and gentlemen, in 2012, between 2012 and 20 to had a taxi in europe and all that work carried out by individual attackers. —— attacks in europe. many thanks to the police men and women who spent

many hours in their service and have been doing great work. i would like to pass the floor to the police and president. ladies and gentlemen, i think it goes without saying that the viennese police and their partners are helping the general direction, to help with these investigations and we started these investigations and we started these investigations very professionally, as you can imagine, when there were these 18 searches and a lot of arrests, that we have found a lot of evidence that has been secured and i'iow evidence that has been secured and now this needs to be evaluated. we need to make the connections between these persons and the perpetrator to track and draw conclusions. of course this is going to take some time, but we are going to need this

time, but we are going to need this time to draw the correct conclusions and in orderto time to draw the correct conclusions and in order to have a professional investigation. as you can expect from a well—functioning police force. secondly, on my part, i would also like to say something about the level of risk. the minister of the interior has already said so that again and again there are some people who have been convicted in conjunction with wanting to travel to syria. that are some who are reported to sympathise with the perpetrator and with the eis and of course they are already being investigated by the intelligence services to find a circle of people where there is sympathy with the is. the question is now whether someone

has come over this sympathy for the is, it is very difficult to tell and to forecast. and of course forecasting any risk is irrelevant, so we forecasting any risk is irrelevant, so we have the relevant experts in the intelligence services constantly doing work in that respect. but of course, it is difficult to guarantee complete safe security and there will be a proper investigation of an individual. and of course, this is the work of the intelligence services to have the right forecast in that respect. so, also in times where we have got a lot of

indications that it could be an individual attacker, it needs to be signalled and then any remaining risks should be excluded. you can rely on the viennese police that they are going to continue their work, as they did of the last few hours, and of course the results we have achieved so far will be continued over the next few hours. and we hope that we can have a complete investigations. we will now ta ke complete investigations. we will now take some questions from the floor. you talked about 14 arrests, do you expect a network and what about past

events at? is there any link and can you discount that at this moment in time? we searched the flat and we found a lot of clues. so, we can see that the attacker integrated into society on the one hand, but did the opposite. he had a conviction of 22 months and was released early because he created the impression that the deradicalisation programme wasn't prepared to reintegrate into society —— was prepared, and you can see that all these measures, you have one individual who really wants

to destroy the system, and he does not react as a society we deserve. so we have the police, 22 months prison sentence, and then he searches again as a valid attacker. so from our point of view, we need to look very closely. —— violent attacker. especially those who have beenin attacker. especially those who have been in contact with him, who supported him, we need to look at that circle and this is the basis of the investigation being carried out right now. after he was released from prison, was he being observed, was he in observation? and do you have the details of the events last night and what exactly happened for one thing? because he really was so

intelligent, so slick in deceiving his surroundings. hence we have turned look and make sure what needs to be done, how you can find these people who want to destroy the democratic culture, the freedom and wa nt to democratic culture, the freedom and want to use that for their crime that they want to commit late at. studio: let's pull away from that news conference, the interior minister saying the country will re—evaluate their justice system after the attack in vienna last night, carried out by a jihadist who was released early from prison and a prisoner who according to the interior minister had fooled the deradicalisation programme. four dead, 22 injured and 14 arrests made in connection with the events in austria in the capital vienna last

night. we will leave the news conference, but those are the latest details. let's have a look at the weather. the heavy rain is moving away from eastern areas are now and we still have a rash of celtic and contend with during the day, brought in on this north—westerly wind, so it is here in the north and west what they will be heavier, with some thunder, hail, some wind, but they will put eastwards as well and temperatures considerably lower than those of yesterday put up they will be considerably lower again tonight. the breeze keeps the shower is coming to the north—west, not as much frost here, but for england and wales, notably our first widespread frost, tomorrow morning. could also bea frost, tomorrow morning. could also be a few pockets of fog around, they will take time to clear at this time of year, so yes, be aware that those could be a hazard through the rush—hour. we do have more cloud and still which are retrained, to the north west of scotland, but for most, it is a much drier day, if

showers, light out and once that fog clears, it will feel pleasant enough for the early part of an event that we keep that settled weather with fog for the rest of the week.

this is bbc news, i'm simon mccoy. the headlines at two... austrian police make more arrests after four people are killed in vienna in what the chancellor called an islamist terror attack. it was an attack of hatred, hatred of our basic values, hatred of our way of life. hatred of our democracy where we are all equal in rights and dignity. we were in the city centre of vienna and we heard shots everywhere and the police, the helicopters were flying around us. we got really afraid so we decided to hide ourselves in the restaurant to hide ourselves in the restaurant to be safe there. the city of liverpool will be the first place in england to trial mass testing for coronavirus. criticism of the government's decision not to allow grassroots sports to continue during lockdown in england.
