good evening. ten years on from the devastating terror attack in utoya norway is once again reeling after a deadly bow and arrow attack left five people dead. police are treating it as an act of terrorism. a 37 year old is being held after a man went on the rampage last night in the town of kongsberg, from where mark lowen sends this report. a mediaeval weapon of modern terror, piercing the calm of this once sleepy town. police were called after six o'clock last night, when an attacker fired indiscriminately from his bow and arrow. when they tried to intervene, he unleashed more volleys. by the time they caught him half an hour later, he had killed four women and one man and injured three others. he was reportedly also armed with a knife. today, police identified him as 37—year—old espen andersen brathen, a local resident of danish nationality, who had converted to islam and had previously raised
9:02 pm
concerns over radicalisation. and they say he's confessed. the act itself looks like a terror act, but we do not know what is the motivation of the perpetrator here. i think we have to wait for the investigation. the supermarket where the killing spree began bears the scars of the horror, and kongsberg, this town of 25,000 people, has been shattered. i'm shocked, i can't believe it has happened in a small town like this. i've been active within archery. i recognise the sound _ from a compound bow and i can hear the tingling of the arrow hitting the streets. - norway's new prime minister, on his first day in the job, takes over a country in mourning. translation: these are gruesome acts
9:03 pm
that have been committed, _ quite surreal, but the reality is that five people have been killed and several injured. many are shocked. so this makes a strong impression. my thoughts go to those who have been exposed to this, relatives, families and everybody who have been seriously frightened. one of the worlds and safest countries has been devastated. it may stir debate over weapons rules, the bow and arrow, not illegal in norway. and it will raise questions over how a man flagged as a security risk seemingly slipped through the net, with such deadly consequences. asne seierstad is a norwegian journalist and author of one of us 7 the story of anders breivik and the massacre in norway. she's studied extremism and radicalisation both on the far right and among radicaljihadists. thank you forjoining us. what strikes you about what we have
9:04 pm
learned so far about this attack? this person seems to be a mixture of many directions, one is that he converted to islam several years ago and he has tried to visit several mosques in the kongsberg area and they all describe him as weird and that he had questions that they could not help him with. it seems or it might be a clear case of psychiatry, that is what some people who knew him say, they had been warning notjust the police but also health authorities about this man who needed help, who sat in his home, alone, like the other young men who often commit violence, as a lone wolf. he also had a love of weapons and he had the bow and arrows, he was training in the back

9:06 pm
not acknowledged, then we could not overcome, how to deal with far right terror if we do not know who are the victims. actually, today, as it was mentioned before, there was a new government today, social democratic labour party government after eight years of conservative rule and two of the ministers were actually survivors from the attack and the generation of new politicians are coming around to the power from being victims of far right extremism ten years ago. has being victims of far right extremism ten years age-— ten years ago. has norway found a wa to ten years ago. has norway found a way to continue _ ten years ago. has norway found a way to continue living _ ten years ago. has norway found a way to continue living freely - ten years ago. has norway found a way to continue living freely whilst | way to continue living freely whilst also dealing with the prospect of a tax, be it from far right inspired extremists or islamist inspired extremists? i extremists or islamist inspired extremists?— extremists? i have to say that norway has — extremists? i have to say that norway has changed - extremists? i have to say that norway has changed very - extremists? i have to say that | norway has changed very little, extremists? i have to say that . norway has changed very little, it is a very open society in terms of the barriers, it is a tolerant
9:07 pm
society, little suspicion and i think that actually people today were also a bit relieved that this is not someone part of a jeff hardy network or a far right network, that this is a man who police say acted on his own and has no followers, no online presence has been detected on him, so he seems to be a single case and that relieved people in kongsberg and the rest of norway. in the long term, how does norway root out extremism, it is notjust a problem for norway, but many other countries, in greater depth? i believe in what the former prime minister said about showing humanity and tolerance and being an open society. extremism also comes from feeling like an outcast, or being on the outside of society, so our best
9:08 pm
defence against extremism is to try to be an inclusive society and what has failed in this case seems to be all the warnings to the police, the warnings to the health authorities that he has not gotten the help he needed, to take him away from society, that is definitely a lesson learned that we will see more about in the coming days, but when it comes to the whole society, i think that the openness when it comes to education, when it comes to getting to know the ideas of extremism and what heats them, that is the path that norway has chosen up until now and seems to be continuing now with the new government that has an internal experience with terror. thank you so much. coronavirus has taken
9:09 pm
a huge toll on health services around the world. here england's chief medical officer is warning that the national health service faces �*an exceptionally difficult winter'. hospitals are dealing with a record number of people waiting for operations. and winter flu is expected to return. the uk government wants doctors to have more face—to—face appointments. but this chart shows the particular pressure uk and us medics are under. here you can see the number of doctors per 1000 people in 0ecd countries. austria is ahead. the us and the uk are below average. but we have rounded up two of them. i'm joined now by dr sarahjarvis who's a gp and clinical director of patient access dot com and dr payal patel in ann arbor michigan. thank you forjoining us. i would like to start with doctorjarvis, what you make of this call for more face—to—face appointments? i what you make of this call for more face-to-face appointments? i think one of the problems _

9:17 pm
there has been an announcement within the last hour from the government, to allow butchers in abattoirs dealing with pigs to be able to come into the uk on a temporary basis for up to six months and they have also announced private storage to help out abattoirs, to temporarily store meat, to help clear the backlog. that has been welcomed here by the farmers here in east yorkshire. they say that should put a stop to on farm culling, which has started in some places and stop it happening on this farm full stop, but they say timing is everything, it needs to happen soon and the government estimates that 800 butchers will need to be brought into the country to clear this backlog. they are confident they can meet that figure, but not until november and that is causing some concern that will they come into the country quick enough to get this problem sorted? one of the biggest post—brexit rows surrounds the licence to fish. an argument between britain
9:18 pm
and france could be about to escalate as french fishermen are threatening port blockades next week as their anger grows of not being given licences to fish in british waters. 0ur paris correspondent lucy williamson has been talking to some of them. for laurent, british waters are as familiar as the rusting docks back home in boulogne—sur—mer. his family has fished there for generations. now, without a licence to enter british waters, he is fishing the young catch around the french coast. but fishermen like him are angry, he says, and if there is no progress by friday they plan to hit back. translation: we will create as much disruption as we can _ by blocking primary goods, the things britain needs the most. we saw the gas shortage we will try to create a shortage of something else. we are ready to block everything, calais, dunkirk, the channel tunnel, we need this fishing license and will do anything to get it.
9:19 pm
france is drawing the support of other eu nations, but has also promised a response of its own, including a possible reduction of electricity supplies to jersey. fishermen themselves are targeting christmas deliveries. we haven't even blocked yet and there is already lots of food and petrol, lack of staff. we are going to make things worse? maybe. as i said, there is a lot of frustration in the community here. so fairenough. in parliament last week, the french prime minister called the row a matter of principle that went beyond fishing. he said it was about getting britain to keep its word. that is a loaded comment here at the moment. the eu is in a stand—off with britain about a post brexit deal for northern ireland,
9:20 pm
and france is complaining that when it comes to illegal migration, the uk is not paying what it owes. in calais last weekend, france's interior minister said that france had not received a penny of the £54 million promised by the uk injuly. translation: we would | like the british government to respect its promise. the quicker it gives us the means to carry out the action it once, the more efficient we can be. of course we can do better if the british help us instead of squabbling with us. the uk has threatened to withhold funding if france doesn't stop more migrant boats from crushing the channel. —— crossing the channel. whether driven by principles, pragmatism or political power. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris.

just about it for a moment. i will be back in a moment. see you. hello. there is a brief autumnal chill as we head towards the weekend. it comes courtesy of a cold front which has been bringing outbreaks of rain across the northern half of the uk for today. this continues on its journey southwards through this evening and overnight. behind it, a few showers developing across scotland, where we see that colder air digging in, showers could well be wintry over the highest ground. across the south of england, parts of south wales holding on to that milder air, for much of the night. let us follow the progress of this frontal zone through this evening and overnight. it continues to weaken as it moves its way southwards, the rain becoming increasingly patchy. ahead of it is some mist and fog across southern england, behind it, much clearer skies and as that cold air starts to sink its way southwards, we could well see a touch of frost across parts of scotland and into northern england as temperatures get close to zero in places.
9:27 pm
a good deal of sunshine to start the day tomorrow, away from this band of cloud, by this stage, just the odd patch of light rain and drizzle for parts of wales and the midlands and southern england, that will continue to peter out through the day, with some spells of sunshine developing. a much cooler day though, for all of us, particularly across scotland, northern england and northern ireland, where temperatures may well struggle to get into double figures. for the south, perhaps 13— 16 c the top temperature tomorrow afternoon. we will end the day on a dry note, but increasingly cloudy overnight for parts of scotland, northern ireland, north—west england, wales, and south—west england, clear skies will be the further east you are. again, we could see a touch of frost across parts of north—east england and eastern scotland. certainly a chilly night for all of us away from south—west england. this is how the weekend shapes up. i said it was only a brief autumnal chill, because things will be turning milder as this frontal system starts to arrive off the atlantic, once again pushing mild air across all of the uk. so, let us put some
9:28 pm
detail on saturday first. a cloudy day, compared to friday, for most it will be dry, but there will be some outbreaks of rain driving into northern ireland, parts of north—west england and maybe north west scotland through the afternoon. those temperatures starting to perk up away from the eastern side of scotland and once again it will be a fairly chilly day and also across the northern isles as well. as we head into sunday, it is the more unsettled day of the weekend, showers or longer spells of rain pushing their way from west to east, but it will be feeling milder once again, with temperatures in the mid, if not high teens. goodbye.

this is bbc news, with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. a man has been arrested in norway after killing five people with a bow and arrow. police say it was an act of terror. a committee investigating the january 6th capitol riots says it will pursue criminal charges against former trump adviser steve bannon. taking a test—run for life on mars. how six would—be astronauts have turned a patch of remote israel into a version of the red planet. and britain's best new building can be found right here in london. it's the town house at kingston university, where lucky students can enjoy whatjudges have called a "a theatre for life".
9:31 pm
welcome back. six people have been shot dead and many more have been injured in the lebanese capital, beirut, during a demonstration by shia muslim groups against thejudge investigating last year's massive port explosion. huge tension surrounds the probe into the port explosion with the hezbollah group and its allies, claiming thejudge is biased — but the families of the blast victims have given him their support. 0ur beirut correspondent anna foster has the latest. it started as a protest. but within minutes, it became a battlefield. nobody knows yet who started the shooting. rapid gunfire but the gunfire stirs ghosts of the country's civil war.
9:32 pm
for hours, shooting echoed through the streets of beirut. not everyone survived. translation: my wife was hiding downstairs, | but my neighbour was killed. she was shot in the head with the bullet. she had kids, her daughter got married just two days ago. it is a very confused picture right now, there are many, many soldiers on the streets trying to work out exactly where the firing is coming from. a lot of the exchange of fire is going on at this cross—section. we can hear regular bursts of automatic gunfire and the thump of our tgs. -- rpgs. we have seen somebody shooting from the top of the building and the army are trying to work out how to contain the situation, which escalated so rapidly. as the shooting faded, the clean—up started — but the scars and the divisions remain.
9:33 pm
accountability for the port blast is vital, but tonight feels further away than ever for the lebanese people. anna foster, bbc news, beirut. to washington, where the committee investigating the january 6th capitol riots is hitting a brick wall as it tries to get evidence from donald trump's inner circle. it had subpoenaed the former president's strategist steve bannon, but he failed to turn up and has said he will not cooperate with the investigation asserting "executive privledge" under former president trump. all of this has provoked the ire of the democratic committee member adam schiff. i'm joined now by former advisor to george w bush, ron christie. hi there. good to see you. criminal

9:35 pm
issueis privilege to not testify until the issue is resolved." but you just said it doesn't apply to advisers, so what's that strategy all about? it applies to advisers for current presidents — when i worked for president bush, there was a notion of whether or not bush advisers were dealing with a disgraced lobbyist and the president said he waived executive privilege. i testified before a congressional committee, and i did so honestly and lawfully. but that was a current president. donald trump would have to ask his successor in office, president biden, invoke executive privilege. and we've heard president biden saying he's not going to do that. so for former saying he's not going to do that. so forformer president saying he's not going to do that. so for former president trump and his former aide, for former president trump and his formeraide, steve for former president trump and his former aide, steve bannon, that's just a specious argument at best, and it's really trying to come up the works of a congressional investigation at worst.- the works of a congressional investigation at worst. let's widen the focused _ investigation at worst. let's widen the focused a _ investigation at worst. let's widen the focused a bit _ investigation at worst. let's widen the focused a bit - _ investigation at worst. let's widen the focused a bit - do _ investigation at worst. let's widen the focused a bit - do you - investigation at worst. let's widen the focused a bit - do you expect| the focused a bit — do you expect the focused a bit — do you expect the january six inquiry to uncover the january six inquiry to uncover

applies here. we need to ascertain what the facts are, what did happen, and how can we make sure this doesn't happen again? i don't care if these are ardent trump supporters or ardent hillary clinton supporters — the notion that you will stormed the united states capitol building, something we haven't seen since the war of 1812, there'sjust something we haven't seen since the war of 1812, there's just no something we haven't seen since the war of 1812, there'sjust no place for this in our political discourse. . it's thursday, which means at the end of the — . it's thursday, which means at the end of the week _ . it's thursday, which means at the end of the week for _ . it's thursday, which means at the end of the week for our _ . it's thursday, which means at the end of the week for our particular i end of the week for our particular programme — what should our viewers look forward to from washington next week. ? i look forward to from washington next week. ? ., _ look forward to from washington next week. ? ., , ., week. ? i would say this to you - i would say — week. ? i would say this to you - i would say look _ week. ? i would say this to you - i would say look very _ week. ? i would say this to you - i would say look very carefully - week. ? i would say this to you - i | would say look very carefully about what speaker pelosi and chuck schumer are doing in the senate. can they find a way to bridge the gap of bringing human infrastructure bill of $3.5 trillion and an introductory bill of 1.5 trillion to send to mister biden? —— infrastructure bill. if they can't and won't,

9:39 pm
what you said cannot be unsaid. over the course of a two hour meeting, the police and crime panel had their say on the commissioner's comments. they included former west yorkshire police officer tim groan. —— tim grogan. from an individual point of view, they were lamentable. but as a commissioner, with the seriousness and responsibility of that role, frankly they were unforgivable. as a member of this panel, i believe your position is unsustainable and, as a man of honour — which i know you to be — you must go, and you must go now. mr allott repeatedly apologised for his comments and said he wanted to rebuild trust. i have to say, if everyone resigns after an interview — and i accept it was a sensitive interview — nothing would ever get done in the country. and the issue really is whether i can regain trust or not, which is the fundamental question that you raised. i genuinely think
9:40 pm
can i regain trust. and if i can't regain trust, then i will do the honourable thing. in the end, the meeting unanimously passed a motion of no confidence and asked philip allott to resign. thank you, members. chair, that was a unanimous vote, as carried. _ thank you. two hours later he did. in a statement, he said... star trek�*s william shatner has just made history as the oldest man to go into orbit on board the capsule built by amazon's jeff bezos. but the duke of cambridge has told the bbc that he thinks there should be more focus on repairing this planet, rather than finding
9:41 pm
another to live on. his comments come in the run up to this weekend's inaugural earthshot prize, which prince william is launching to try to find solutions to climate change. he's been speaking to newscast�*s adam fleming. "fix our climate" is one of the five goals of the earthshot prize. the clue's in the name. the duke of cambridge's new environmental prize is inspired by president kennedy's moonshot. that's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. the prince wants to recapture the spirit of the '60s to make the technological leaps that could heal the planet today. but he had this message for entrepreneurs looking to the stars instead. we've seen everyone trying to get space tourism going. it's the idea we need some of the world's greatest brains and minds fixed on trying to repair this planet, not trying to find the next place to go and live. what would you give it out of ten, george? how many marks out of ten would you give it?
9:42 pm
it's the younger generation of royalty thinking about the generation that will follow them. i want the things that i've enjoyed, the outdoor life and the sort of nature and environment, i want that to still be there for, notjust my children but everyone else's children. and if we're not careful, we're robbing from our children's future what we do now. and i think that's not fair. we are seeing a rise in climate anxiety. young people now are growing up where their futures are basically threatened the whole time. it's very unnerving, it's very anxiety—making. george's school recently has been doing litter picking and i didn't realise, but talking to him the other day, he was already showing he was getting a bit confused and a bit annoyed by the fact they went out litter picking one day and then the very next day they did the same route at the same time, and pretty much all the same litter they'd picked up was back again. that, for him, he was trying to understand where it all came
9:43 pm
from, he couldn't understand. he was like, "we cleaned this, why has it not gone away?" and this is the message he will give to world leaders at next month's big climate change conference being held in glasgow. children love being outdoors, they love getting money, they love playing, chasing, and playing sport, and all that stuff. i think they have a truer appreciation of what we're going to miss and what we're letting down than actually many of the adults. and that's where the disconnect is happening, is that those adults in position of responsibility are not channelling their inner child, to remind themselves to remember how much it meant to be outdoors. at the other end of the age range the prince will team up with sir david attenborough to award the first earthshot prizes in a ceremony this weekend. i wasjust coming back home from school, and i noticed the ironing vendors in my street using charcoal. the 15 finalists include solar—powered gadgets, apps, organisations, and initiatives — all competing for royal recognition. adam fleming, bbc news.
9:44 pm
let's look at some of the day's other news. pakistan international airlines has suspended flights to the afghan capital kabul, citing "heavy—handed" interference from the taliban. the decision came after the taliban ordered the airline to cut prices to levels seen before the fall of the western—backed government in august. pia has been the only foreign carrier operating regular flights out of kabul. ajapanese court has heard that north korea's leader kim jong—un should pay damages to five people who say they were lured to north korea underfalse pretences. the five are each demanding almost $900,000. and if you look very closely you can make out president macron on the pitch here — proudly sporting a number 3 on the back of his kit. after a full day of visiting olympic and sports facilities in northern paris, the french president — presumably playing left back — let off some steam with a game of footballjoining the gala game of the varietes club de

9:49 pm
joining us. we will cover that when that happens. a new effort is underway to try and count walruses from space. it's a project that's been set up by the british antarctic survey and the wwf — and they are asking the public to help. they say getting an idea of how big the walrus population is, is essential to see how climate change is impacting these tusked beasts. our science correspondent rebecca morelle has more. huge, blubbery, and a bit grumpy. walruses are easy enough to spot, but thanks to their remote arctic location, we don't know how many of these giant beasts there are. so, you can zoom in. look, you can zoom in, there. now the public are being asked for their help and the scouts in east molesey are making a start. they're using satellite images to locate and count every atlantic and laptev sea walrus. if it's, erm, a little bit blurry, then it's harder, cos sometimes it is rocks.
9:50 pm
and they're the same colour as the walrus. we've been taking images of the earth from space for more than 60 years, but our view has changed dramatically. in the 1980s, satellites could only see subjects 30 metres in size. but they quickly improved, and a few years later, they could see features ten metres across. today, though, the most advanced imaging satellites can see details down to just 30 centimetres, and this has transformed our view of the natural world. the sea ice on which they live most i of the year is rapidly diminishing, i and they are having to change their behaviour and come out| onto [and much more often. that's almost certainly got some detrimental effect to them. - but we're not sure how much the population i is being affected by that. the walrus counts will need 500,000 volunteers to scan through images on the wwf website. with their help, we should finally find out how many walruses there are and see how they fare in the years to come.
9:51 pm
rebecca morelle, bbc news. what do a jetty museum, a mosque, and a bridge to a medieval castle have in common? they are three of this year's nominees for the riba stirling prize for architecture — which rewards the country's best new building of the last year. others on the shortlist include key worker accommodation, and one block that faced demolition. 0ur arts correspondent david silitto has more. kingston university's town house — a home for its library, its dance studios, and also a new social hub for students. wow, this is incredible. i'mjust like, "yeah, i go to uni there." it's so cool. but it's also a place of solar panels and natural cooling to create a building that is less energy—hungry. this key worker housing in cambridge is also designed to encourage a low—carbon house style.
9:52 pm
you see more bike sheds here than car parking. this year, six stirling buildings are about more than just beauty and clever ideas. care for the environment has become a prime concern. take this, windermere, and a museum to house a famous boat collection. the overriding concern, though, is don't spoil the view. sustainability has been really central to the concept of building. we have systems like the lake source heat pump that heats the whole museum, underpinning the energy strategy. we have selected wherever possible local materials so that travel from source to site is as short as possible. this bridge in north cornwall, a place connected with the stories of king arthur. the challenge here — to reconnect the eroded site and not damage the archaeology. and when it comes to ancient
9:53 pm
history, this building in london uses some ancient methods. lumps of stone are what is keeping these flats and offers up right, a sort of high—tech stonehenge. sedimentary rock, and depending on how old it is you will still find fossils within it. here you can see... this has come straight out of the ground? here is an ammonite shell. it is actually cheaper, fasterand far greener to put stone buildings up. we found here that we saved 92% of the embodied carbon. had this been a steel—framed building and clad in stone. this hasn't been simple. its rough exterior is not everyone�*s taste. at one point, the council was seeking to have it demolished. it was only saved after a two—year legal battle by its architect.
9:54 pm

world news that's it for me. hello there. looking at the weather picture on thursday, we have mixed conditions, many of us pretty cloudy, but across parts of the south, a lot of sunshine. that was how things looked for much of the day in west sussex. meanwhile across scotland, we had some thicker cloud bringing outbreaks of rain to the highlands. now that rain is associated with this cold front, and through friday, that's diving southwards. behind it, the air turns much coolerfor a time. let's delve into the details, then — here's our front, a very weak affair just bringing a strip of cloud southwards across england and wales, and odd spits of rain, but nothing significant. behind that, after a chilly start to the morning, there will be lots and lots of sunshine — but it will feel a lot cooler compared with recent days. temperatures to the afternoon around

8 celsius in aberdeen, 10 in newcastle, and even further southwards not quite as warm as it has been in recent days, averages in london, 14 celsius, and 15 in cardiff. friday night underneath this ridge of high pressure, temperatures drop away. it'll be cold enough for some patches of frost in the countryside across the northeast, that could see temperatures dropping down to —2 in the very coldest areas, but we aren't far from frost there in aberdeen. into the weekend, we'll see milder air returning from the southwest with south—westerly winds. these weather fronts will bring a little bit of rain at time, but the rain is actually slower to move in — that means more of us will have a better day on saturday. there'll be quite a bit of cloud around, 1—2 spots of falling cloud as it works eastwards across central and eastern areas of england, but mainly dry. temperatures 16—17 celsius towards the south, but still quite cool air hanging on in scotland. however, heading into the second half of the weekend, we see the rain and milder air

pushed its way northwards — and with that comes rising temperatures. so on sunday, a lot of cloud around, probably some mist and fog patches and the cloud thick enough for and occasional spot of rain through the morning. the afternoon probably becoming a bit drier and brighter with a few sunny breaks in the cloud. temperatures milder, 14 celsius in glasgow, 18 in london — remember, 14 is about right for october. into next week, the weather pattern definitely stays unsettled, quite windy, as well. the main uncertainty with monday is exactly where this heaviest rain will be — the current models put rain across wales in the south of england, but it could end up up going quite a bit further north than this. eitherway, it looks like a pretty unsettled, blustery kind of day with gales around some of our western coast. temperatures mild again — 16 celsius in glasgow and 18 in cardiff. that milder air continues into tuesday, as well. but look at this weather front coming up from a long, long way southwest, there's

a pipeline of moisture aimed towards the hills. now if this does affect the hills of wales, we could well see some localised surface water flooding because the rain could be very heavy and long—lived, as well. otherwise, there'll be some bright weather, particularly across central and eastern areas of the uk and some very high temperatures for this time of year — 17 in glasgow, we've got some 20s on the charts there for east anglia and the south. beyond that, the rest of the week stays very unsettled. low pressure firmly in charge, it'll often be very and wet — the main uncertainty is exactly about the timings of the bands of rain pushing through, but we will all see some rain at times into next week — and, as i say, an autumnal spell of weather, really. that's your weather.

tonight at 10: — gps in england are told to see more patients face to face amid a sharp rise in the number of people going to a&e. the government directs £250 million to help surgeries bring in more temporary staff. but gps say the money offered doesn't match the crisis they face. we haven't got the locums to come in and actually work in practices, so the idea that this money is going to help with that isjust pie in the sky. the government says the money will make a difference and warn they'll intervene if surgeries don't increase access to care. also tonight: a bow and arrow attack in norway that left five people dead is being treated by police as a terrorist attack. a vigil is held for the victims.
