it's this is bbc news. the headlines. the prime minister stands by her plans for the economy — blaming the recent turmoil in financial markets on "global" factors. i have acted decisively to make sure we are keeping taxes low to avoid the economic slowdown which is feared as a result of this global situation. , ., ., , ., . , situation. hundreds of more products withdrawn. leaving destruction in its wake, the city of fort myers in florida is devastated by hurricane ian, with at least one person confirmed dead. what is beyond doubt as you might

expect in this you can see, there has been substantial damage to property. the queen's death certificate is made public, it says she died of old age, at ten past three in the afternoon on the 8th september and tributes are paid to the american rapper coolio who's died at the age of 59 in los angeles. the prime minister has insisted that her tax cutting plans are right for the uk economy and she will not be changing course. in her first interviews since the chancellor's mini budget last friday, liz truss argued that record falls

in the pound and rapidly rising borrowing costs in the uk are part of a "global crisis" that has been sparked by the war in ukraine. and she said the government's strategy would support people and businesses hit by rising energy prices. here's our economics editor faisal islam. an engine factory in darlington. the chancellor, kwasi kwarteng, out and about for the first time since his mini budget stalled, britain's currency slumped and borrowing costs surged. what do you say to people whose mortgage interest rates are rising as a result of your economic policy? so, we are absolutely protecting people right across the country. if you look at our energy intervention, people were potentially facing bills of £6,500 next year, and because of the intervention we have limited the average household bill to £2500, that is a huge saving, and people are normal incomers are benefiting from that.

but they are being wiped out by the increasing cost of mortgage borrowing? i think that if you look at the government plan, we have got the growth plan, we have got the energy intervention... chancellor and the prime minister went through a set of regional interviewers wanting to talk about the energy rescue, more than the surging energy costs and mortgage costs seen since the mini budget. it sounds like you're saying, crisis what crisis? i am not saying that at all, i think we're in a very serious situation, i it is a global crisis - which is being brought about by the aftermath of covid and putin's war in ukraine. - 0n the point of interest rates, i completely understand that. people are concerned, | but it is very important that we have an independent monetary policy run by the bank of england. - but on a day of seesawing government borrowing costs, these are huge moves by the standards of this ordinarily car market lending over two years.

and rates did go up again as the pm stock to her guns, but then they settled. however, this is what it looks like over the past week, a significant and rapid rise that is now working its way into the borrowing costs of companies and for mortgages, too. we have a stand—off between the government in westminster and the markets in the city, and how that works out will determine when this interest—rate shot ends, or if it is prolonged and worsened. and what we learned from the government today is that despite everything we have seen over the past week, that in their view, there is no challenge, there is definitely no crisis, there isn't a problem. and if there is no problem, there is no need to change course. but the tidal wave of rising borrowing rates coming from city trading floors is far from normal, says one of the world's most noted experts. i have seen it, but never in a g7 economy. never in a mature economy, with respected institutions. this is something that we see

in developing countries going through difficulties. we normally do not see this in a g7 economy. the former governor of the bank of england mark carney made a rare intervention, saying the turmoil was down to the mini budget and a pattern of undermining economic experts. there wasn't an undercutting of some of the institutions that underpin the overall approach, so, not having an 0br forecast, and certainly a budget that is based on an acceleration of growth, or would appear to be based on that, certainly that is the aim, but if that is what is necessary for the numbers to add up, it is important to have it subject to independent and dare i say experts go to. despite a recovery today, the weaker pound is increasing prices further for businesses big and small, from clothes retailers to this kids bike manufacturer. it is really painful, our costs have increased by 5%

in the space of a few hours last week, on top of having already gone up by over 20% since january and because we buy all our bikes in us dollars, we are at the whim of the exchange rates. so, the financial markets have stabilised, for now. but such an interest rate shock is still likely to put the brakes on, both for businesses and for consumers. faisal islam, bbc news. we'd heard nothing from the prime minister since the chancellor unveiled his mini budget. but this morning — liz truss did the traditional round of interviews with bbc local radio stations that leaders do before their party conferences. 0ur political correspondent alex forsyth was listening. time to face the microphones. this morning, liz truss took to the airwaves in a series of interviews on bbc local radio. it's the first time we have heard from the prime

general election and if you are a conservative mp, and what's been going on this week, we started this week with a lot of coverage and a lot of guilt markets and what's happening on the foreign currency exchanges and frankly, i'm sure a lot of viewers are left somewhat confused about what was going on. but then the conversation got into what people understand, like mortgage rates and will conservative mps are saying is that people have been coming to this constituency concerned that they are not going to be able to pay their mortgage and that's when he gets real.- be able to pay their mortgage and that's when he gets real. thank you so much for — that's when he gets real. thank you so much for that. _ and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30 this evening in the papers — our guestsjoining me tonight are the chief political correspondent at the guardian — jessica elgot — and the author

four regions of ukraine into the russian federation. it follows hastily arranged self—styled referendums that were held in luhansk and donetsk in the east, and in zaporizhzhia and kherson in the south, which have been condemned by ukraine and the west as a sham. in the last hour, the un secretary—general warned the annexations would mark a "dangerous escalation". 0ur russia editor steve rosenberg is in moscow the kremlin wrote this script, this is political theatre and playing out scene by scene. act one, the so—called referendums, the staged events in ukrainian territories under russian occupation. we have act two, the administrators of these territories and please, president putin, except us, ourterritories into the russian federation and tomorrow, we have act three where the kremlin, vladimir putin is expected to sign off the annexation

of run 15% of ukrainian territory. and if that happens, that will mark a major escalation in the standoff between russia and ukraine and russia and the west because the russians have already made it clear that if ukraine tries to get that territory back, and russia will consider any attack is an attack on russian territory and will respond with all means available to it, including potentially nuclear weapons but today, there was an editorial and a mainstream russian paper criticising russian officials for this nuclear rhetoric and nuclear threat. that says to me, all right, people and the rest are worried about russian sabre rattling but worried here in russia. sweden's coastguard says it has discovered a fourth hole in the nord stream pipeline that runs under the baltic sea between russia and europe. nato says the breaches have been caused by deliberate and reckless acts of sabotage. russia has denied responsibility.

subsequent interview saying it sold it to be confirmed. what is beyond doubt, and as you can see, is that there's been substantial damage to properties. hurricane ian came on shore with wind speeds above 150 miles an hour. with warnings for residents to evacuate because of the serious danger to life. the biggest risk was because the storm surge, well over six feet and places it in the city of fort myers, the streets were quickly flooded. scenes repeated along the coast. it is only now that hurricane is passed through and the weather has cleared we can begin to assess the damage. you can see the boats hundreds of thousands of dollars worth piled up on top of each other in the harbour walls themselves pushed back by the force of the wind and waves of product onto the shore. but the real focus is on the outlying communities and

in court for the first time. anne sacoolas appeared by video link from the united states. she's seen here on the right with the dark hair, sitting next to her american lawyer. she confirmed her name and date of birth and was told the case was being sent to the old bailey. she'd returned to america just 19 days after harry dunn's death, claiming diplomatic immunity. harry dunn died when anne sacoolas's volvo suv hit his motorbike in a head—on collision on the ba031 in northamptonshire near to raf croughton. the base is used by us military and intelligence agencies, including the cia, and anne sacoolas's husband worked there. that was how she claimed diplomatic immunity. the court hearing lasted just six minutes, and the family emerged looking relieved and emotional. it's the moment the family have been waiting for for more than three years. they've always said that all they wanted was for somebody

to stand trial here in britain over harry dunn's death. they'll be back in london next month when the case moves to the old bailey. daniel sandford, bbc news, at westminster magistrates�* court. now, it's time for a look at the weather with helen. good evening. we've got our first widespread spell of wet and windy weather sweeping in off the atlantic, through tonight and for tomorrow. it's this deep area of low pressure, so we'll see gusts of wind 60—70 mph in the north and west, but gales down into the channel by tomorrow afternoon. however, for this evening, it's actually quite quiet, dry for most, and clear. so with the light winds, there is a concern we'll see some patchy fog by morning in some areas in the south, where it'll still be quite chilly. but what a contrast as that rain comes in on a strengthening wind further north and west. some heavy rain, even the odd rumble of thunder, we could see a good inch of rain,

20—30 millimetres falling. after the fog clears in the south, some early brightness before that rain sweeps in for the evening rush hour. now the gusts of wind by that stage in the south, 30—a0 mph with gales through the channel. starting to ease in the north and the west by that stage, with some brightness and a few showers coming through. temperatures of 1a—17 celsius. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... the prime minister stands by her plans for the economy, blaming the recent turmoil in financial markets on "global" factors. but as fears persist, mortgage lenders withdraw hundreds more products amid the uncertainty over interest rates. leaving destruction in its wake — the city of fort myers in florida is devastated by hurricane ian, with at least one person confirmed dead. the queen's death certificate is made public — it says

she died of old age — at 3.10pm in the afternoon on the 8th of september. and tributes are paid to the american rapper coolio, who's died at the age of 59. let's hear more now from the prime minister — she's been speaking to some of the bbc presenters and political editors from the nations and english regions about last week's mini—budget. ok, now, i was talking to one of your mps in the midlands yesterday. he called the mini—budget "madness". he said that you and the chancellor are "true believers," you believe in what you're doing — striving for growth — but that really, you don't understand the impact this has on working people. what do you say to that? well, we've got to look at what the alternative was, if we hadn't taken the action we'd had — which is people were facing energy bills of up to £6,000,

we were facing very high inflation, and also a slowing economy. and the majority of the package that was announced was about supporting people on energy bills. in the shorter term, there are many people in the west midlands, the just managing people, who have lost their mortgage deals. they're desperately worried they're coming out of fixed—term mortgages. what do you say to those people? many of them took a risk in 2019, voting conservative for the first time. what do you say to those communities? well, look, i understand, it's difficult times for people, and we're facing a difficult winter. interest rates have always been set since 1997 by the independent bank of england, and that's a really important principle. simon hall, do you know him? he's the tory mp for north dorset. he said, "these are not circumstances beyond our control. this inept madness cannot go on." well, i don't agree with what he's saying. there are very difficult circumstances that

we're facing globally. and we've seen action taken in the united states, we've seen action taken around the world, and we are working very closely with the bank of england to deal with the situation. but it would've been fundamentally wrong for us to not act, and to allow our taxes to continue at the highest rate for 70 years. i think everyone understands that you needed to take some action — but the action that you've taken is now forcing key workers in cambridge out of their homes, they are now leaving. if this is about growth, how long will it be until we see that? well, what this is about, is about helping people through this very difficult winter, through helping with energy bills, reducing taxes to encourage investment, and getting on with infrastructure projects to deliver more economic growth. and some of these things will take time, that's no doubt true. but the best time to start is today, on those programmes.

why should people believe that your gamble will pay off, when the international markets don't seem to believe you? the chance we'll be setting out in november, how we're going to get borrowing down as a proportion of gdp over time. but what would have been completely wrong is for people to face those huge energy bills, and people to face tax rises just at a time when we are in this very, very difficult economic situation. prime minister, it sounds like you're saying "crisis, what crisis?" i'm not saying that at all. i think we're in a very serious situation. it's a global crisis which has been brought about by the aftermath of covid and putin's war in ukraine. liz truss, the prime minister there. experts have called for a crackdown on the sale of vapes to the under 18s as a new study concluded that little is known about the long—term impact of e—cigarettes on health. the number of young people vaping has almost doubled in the last two years.

scientists at kings college london say that while smoking is 20 times more harmful than vaping, it's not clear what impact vaping has in the longer term. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes reports. initially promoted as a healthier alternative to smoking, vaping is now soaring in popularity. notjust among those who want to quit the tobacco habit. younger people as well, some of whom have never smoked. did you smoke before you started vaping? i didn't, no. what led you into vaping, then? it was one of those things when somebody had it on a night out and said, "try this," and it was nice, and kind of like everyone had one, so i got one because everyone had one. it's kind of like something to do, and it is the taste. i've tried a cigarette before and i didn't like the taste, whereas with vaping the fruity flavours.

that's the bad thing about it. researchers trying to assess the dangers of both smoking and vaping face a complicated job when it comes to explaining the relative risks. the smokers who switched to vaping can be reassured they have made a good choice about their health. for smokers who never tried vaping, they would really like to give up smoking, then trying vaping and switching completely to vaping would be a good choice. the latest research suggests vaping poses only a small fraction of the risk associated with cigarettes, with smoking at least 20 times more harmful than vaping at least over the course of around a year. vaping has become increasingly popular among adults. in 2020, just over 6% regularly wear vaping, that has climbed. in two years it's gone from a.8% of 11—18 —year—olds in england to well over 11% this year.

—— well over 8% this year. health experts say it is too soon to say exactly what health risks may be associated with vaping for those who have never smoked but they say if the choice is between smoking and vaping, choose vaping. if the choice is between vaping and fresh air, choose fresh air. researchers say there are very few long—term studies on the effects of vaping and much more work is needed to assess the potential dangers, but the bottom line from the report today is that vaping is better than smoking — that's not to say it's risk—free. dominic hughes, bbc news. an 80—year—old man has been convicted of murdering his partner renee macrae and their son, andrew, almost a6 years ago. bill macdowell was found guilty of killing renee and three—year—old andrew in 1976 after standing trial at the high court in inverness. the 80—year—old was also convicted of disposing of their bodies, which have never been found. he was sentenced to a minimum

of 30 years in prison. the bbc is cutting more journalistjobs. 382 posts will be closed on the world service as part of an attempt to save £28.5 million in the bbc�*s international services. there will also be the closure of some programmes altogether, including bbc arabic radio and persian radio. the bbc is trying to make wider savings of £500 million. tributes have been paid to the rapper coolio, who's died in los angeles at the age of 59. he was best known for his award—winning song "gangsta's paradise", which topped the charts around the world. mark savage reports despite the title, "gangsta's paradise" was not a glorification of the gangster lifestyle.

#asl # as i walk through the valley of the shadow of lit death, i take a look at my life and realise there's nothing left... instead, it was a sober look at the way america let down young black men like coolio. the song appeared on the soundtrack to the michelle pfeiffer film dangerous minds and made coolio a star, earning him a grammy for the best rap song. -- in 1996. lets me know i've been doing some good, we did something right. news of his death at the age of 59 has shocked fans and fellow musicians. coolio died on wednesday night at a friend's apartment. no cause of death has been given, but his manager said paramedics believed it may have

been cardiac arrest. the rapper coolio, who has died at the age of 59. in a world where fraudsters are ever more bold, a new scam has been unearthed by a bbc investigation — it is a fake car dealer website which has already cost victims thousands of pounds. 0nline vehicle fraud is on the rise — and as ashleyjohn baptiste reports, it can be brazen and take a terrible toll on the people taken in by it. we get lots of people turning up here. they come here to basically pick up their new car, and there's nothing here. harry runs a small repair garage in fife in scotland, but people turn up expecting to find a big car dealership. this was the couple that drove seven hours with a five—month—old baby, and this is them just realising that it's been a scam. a dealership called auto—promotions ran here for 30 years, but that company hasn't

existed since 2008. but its name and address have been used without their consent on this website, which claims to have hundreds of cars for sale. in west yorkshire, pietro thought he'd bought one of the second—hand cars from the auto—promotions website. he transferred almost £a,000, including delivery, but no car has ever turned up. the money was both his and his elderly mum's savings. it's just. . .just devastating, really. you know, such a large amount of money. really, really upsetting to tell you the truth. and especially for my mum's side, you know, just to, sort of, like, take her out, rather than her being homebound all the time. i've spoken to eight people from across the uk who have parted with thousands of pounds, only to not receive their cars. i've also heard from dozens more who were on the brink of sending money to auto—promotions. to try and find out who's behind the website, i called in one

of the bbc�*s data experts, who looked in detail into every part of the website and its footprint on the internet. he discovered that most of the information on the site was taken from elsewhere. the team members were photos of people from across the world with no links to a car dealership, and the car adverts were also borrowed from other websites. it's really sophisticated. i mean, i could have been fooled by it myself. there's a few red flags, but, generally speaking, somebody that's really savvy could easily have fallen for this. last year, there were almost 3,000 reports of online vehicle fraud, up 21% since 2019. and after covid pushed all sorts of previously face—to—face sales onto the internet, research suggests a third of us would now buy a used car completely online without seeing it. mike andrews, the head of the e—crime team for national trading standards, told us they haven't seen a car dealership website on this scale before and had this

advice for consumers. one of the big things we say for consumers when they're buying online is do your research. if you're making any purchase online, don't make the payment by bank transfer. if you pay using your credit card in particular, you've got extra protection. you've still got an enhanced level of protection even if you use a debit card. as a result of our investigation, the police took the website down. but those behind it have not been caught. ashley jean—ba ptiste, bbc news. and you can watch more on that story now over on the bbc iplayer. an investigation by the bbc has uncovered the scale of undeclared emissions of greenhouse gases by the oil industry. bbc news arabic and the bbc climate and data teams has found dozens of sites where millions of tonnes of emissions from gas "flaring" from oil drilling have gone unreported. oil companies say it's standard

practice to only declare emissions where they're the official operator, even if they own the field. esme stallard reports. these oil fields in southern iraq are amongst the these oil fields in southern iraq are amongst th- these oil fields in southern iraq are amongst the worst culprits for as flarin: are amongst the worst culprits for gas flaring in _ are amongst the worst culprits for gas flaring in the _ are amongst the worst culprits for gas flaring in the world. _ are amongst the worst culprits for gas flaring in the world. this - gas flaring in the world. this professor, and environmental scientist, has seen the impact this flaring has had on his home. translation:— flaring has had on his home. translation: ~ ., , ., . translation: when i was a child, this was really _ translation: when i was a child, this was really beautiful. _ translation: when i was a child, this was really beautiful. if- translation: when i was a child, this was really beautiful. if we - this was really beautiful. if we continue to lose at this rate, we'll see more climate change.- continue to lose at this rate, we'll see more climate change. flaring is when oil companies _ see more climate change. flaring is when oil companies burn _ see more climate change. flaring is when oil companies burn off - see more climate change. flaring is when oil companies burn off the - see more climate change. flaring is| when oil companies burn off the gas is released from oil drilling. it wastes an expensive natural resource and contributes to climate change. the five major oil companies — bp, annie, exxon mobile, chevron, and shall— are all determined that i

committed to... but oil giants say they get another company to run the day—to—day operations, and it is the other firm's response ability to report flaring emissions. the bb sound as bbc found this one has more flaring than of the democrat any other site in the world. bb�*s report makes it look to the investors in the public like it's flaring emissions are going down overall. but because it doesn't count emissions from sites where it's not the official operator, those are not included. bp, the lead contractor here, doesn't declare the omissions. neither does the operator which they've jointly founded. neither does the operator which they'vejointly founded. bp's neither does the operator which they've jointly founded. bp's global admissions from gas flaring in 2021 were a million tonnes of c02. but if it were included, it would be doubled. bbc news arabic and the bbc climate and data teams investigated how many more sites there were globally when neither the oil

company nor the official operator were declaring the emissions. using satellite data, we found dozens of sites globally belonging to the five major oil companies, where flaring emissions are not being reported. this amounted to almost 20 million tonnes of carbon dioxide — that's as much as a million cars would produce in a year. in response to our findings, the oil companies said they followed the standard approach to take it across the industry. in addition, shelland to take it across the industry. in addition, shell and any said they do include all of their flaring in their official emissions reports, but don't report flaring where they are not the operator, and they've not committed to producing that flaring. there are a range of solutions to tackle gas flaring. the first and most obvious is to cap the gas and put into a nearby gas pipeline, which can be initially expensive. but if all the gas was captured, it would be nearly as much as the eu's total gas imports from

russia. back in iraq, those living under the polluted skies hope the burning will end. esme stallard there. the headlines on bbc news... the prime minister stands by her plans for the economy, blaming the recent turmoil in financial markets on "global" factors. leaving destruction in its wake — the city of fort myers in florida us presidentjoe biden warns hurricane ian could be the deadliest in florida's history. the queen's death certificate is made public. it says she died of old age at 3.10pm in the afternoon, on the 8th of september. president biden has described russia's efforts to annex for more areas of ukraine as shameless, saying the result was manufactured in moscow. vladimir putin will hold

a signing ceremony on friday after the self—styled referendums, condemned by the ukraine and the west is a sham. the exercise secured almost total support. let's hear from the us president. t’d almost total support. let's hear from the us president.— almost total support. let's hear from the us president. i'd also like to briefly address _ from the us president. i'd also like to briefly address the _ from the us president. i'd also like to briefly address the shameless i from the us president. i'd also like i to briefly address the shameless and transparent effort by russia to annex parts of ukraine. i want to be very clear about this, the united states will never, never recognise russia's claims on ukraine's sovereign territory. the so—called referendum was a sham, an absolute sham. the results were manufactured in moscow, and the true will of the ukrainian people is evident every day as they sacrifice their lives to help people maintain independence of their country and defence of freedom, as well. russia's assault

on ukraine, in pursuit of vladimir putin's imperialist ambitions, is a flagrant violation of the un charter and the basic principles of sovereignty and integral territory. a man who died when his ear infection was missed during telephone consultations with his gp surgery should have been seen face—to—face — according to a ruling by nhs england. an investigation by the bbc�*s newsnight programme found that 26—year—old david nash had four phone calls over three weeks during covid restrictions, but was never offered an in—person appointment. david grossman has this report. er, scared. i'm worried about what it could be. i'm worried it could be cancer. david nash didn't have cancer. the 26—year—old musician and law student had a middle—ear infection, but was otherwise fit and healthy. it's a condition that's normally very easily treated. as his symptoms worsened, he had four telephone consultations

with four different clinicians at his gp practice over 20 days in the autumn of 2020. each failed to diagnose his condition. his parents believe that not being able to see a doctor face—to—face was a significant factor in his death. david died from a condition that you'd expect to see happen in the third world. mm — you know, people living in the middle of nowhere with no access to medical treatment. it's all right. ifeel like i'm on the phone to you all the time. newsnight has obtained the audio recordings of david's consultations. by the fourth one, he's very ill. the infection has spread to his brain. he's in extreme pain and he's slurring his words. i've got pain behind both sides, my sinuses, my back and my neck, and i've got a temperature as well. woman: sinuses? sinuses and the back of the neck, so, like, the cheek area and the back of the neck.

back of your neck? you don't have sinuses in the back of your neck, usually. no, but... each clinician david spoke to, it was though... - the first consultation. ..he was treated as a stand alone i consultation, and very little regard was given to the fact that this - was the fourth time and that, only days earlier, he was passing blood. woman: sorry, the line's not very good. _ david has now had four telephone consultations and was so gravely ill that he was to die two days after this final call. do you think you've done anything? so you've not been in a a bit ofa bump in a car, oryou've not been doing lots and lots of computer work or any exercises that might have wrenched your neck or anything? no, i've not done anything for, like, a week. it's been appalling care. i think they've completely let david down at every single point. - and i am absolutely convinced, . as david's mum, that if he'd been | seen on that last consultation, |

he would still be with us today. newsnight understands that nhs england, which investigated david's care, has concluded that while he could have been seen face—to—face at any point, there was a clinical rationale for not seeing him until the fourth call. theyjudged that that call was not satisfactory and a face—to—face consultation should have been organised. that's him and i at his christening. an inquest is scheduled for the new year. david's gp surgery extended its condolences to the family but said it won't comment until after that concludes. the coroner will look at whether not receiving face—to—face care contributed to his death. david grossman, bbc news. you can see the full investigation tonight on newsnight, on bbc two at 10.30pm. it seems dogs can sense when humans are feeling stressed, just from their sense of smell. a study used samples of human breath and put dogs to the test,

to see if they could tell the difference between levels of emotion. it's hoped the research could help train service and therapy dogs. 0ur science correspondent victoria gill has more. 0ur canine companions come in many sizes, shapes and personalities — but they all seem to share a common sensitive trait. she can sense that i'm stressed, so she gets more stressed. as soon as i, like, get up off the couch, like, they know that they're going fora run, or, like, they know how i'm feeling and are all like, "right, out, out! " really? out the house, yeah. many dog owners will tell you that their pet can sense their mood, but now there's some evidence to suggest that they can smell our psychological state. can't you ? this is a stress sniff test devised by scientists. willing pet dogs, volunteered by their owners, were trained to nose through this canister line—up. each can contains a sample of sweat or breath taken from a person either before or just after they'd completed a difficult

stress—inducing maths problem. the task — sniff out the stressed person's sample. she's one of our study dogs. she's a three—year—old mixed breed and she's a rescue dog and she's absolutely gorgeous. this is herbert. 0h, they do look kind of similar! they do, don't they? having a psychological stress response changes the way that our body is emitting odours, and dogs can detect that change. why was stress of particular interest to you? i think it's just really interesting to kind of confirm that, alongside everything that we're aware of, there are these kind of more subtle cues that we might be emitting that dogs are picking up on. the researchers say their findings could help in the training of service and therapy dogs, understanding exactly what human scent cues their noses can detect. but the researchers also sniffed out one more reason why people feel so connected to their dogs. victoria gill, bbc news.

amazing stuff. now it's time for a look at the weather with helen. good evening. the showers are fading and, under starry skies with light winds, we can expect some fog as we head through the small hours of friday morning and towards the rush hour. but it's a different complexion to the weather gathering further north and west, with autumnal gales blowing in rain. and this could be our first widespread, windy, and wet spell this autumn. ahead of it, as i say, we've had just the odd shower, but under the light winds and clear skies, that will allow that mist and fog to thicken up. but further north and west, for scotland and northern ireland, it'll turn wet and windy through the night. so some wind and rain to contend with through the morning rush — and here, quite mild but still chilly under the clear skies. further south, 3—a in rural areas. lightest wind here first thing, but by the morning, you can see those winds are likely to be gusting at 50—60 mph. but the lighter winds here means that the fog could be stagnant for a few hours, clearing probably by mid—morning — and then, we'll see some early brightness. but then, that rain, heavy, perhaps

with the odd rumble of thunder, will move its way southwards and eastwards, allowing brighter skies with showers up towards the northwest and through northern ireland. and by that stage, the winds have escalated across england and wales. gales through the irish sea, gales through the channel, gusts of a0—60 mph for northwestern parts. but it's relatively mild, 12—17 celsius. now, that rain will then push away through the night on friday, allowing showers to rush in on the westerly breeze. so temperatures overnight into saturday should hold a little higher, it's a milder night for most. but there will be some clear spells there for some sunshine, as we start our day on saturday. there's that rain band moving out of the way — the low pressure, though, to the north still driving our weather for much of the weekend, although we're watching developments down towards the south. so for saturday, it looks as if the shower activity may be dampened down a little across england and wales, because we've got the approach of the next area of low pressure. whilst further north and west, plenty of showers rushing through on that brisk wind — not as strong as the winds

on friday, but still noticeable. but look at the temperatures, 15—19 celsius. this is the question mark — how far south it will come, and how much rain it will give, and strong winds before an area of high pressure nudges in for the second part of the weekend, and the start of the new week. so on sunday, it could well start wet across england and wales before that rain clears away, and then, mostly dry — and that continues into the start of the new week.

hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. the kremlin is preparing to claim parts of eastern ukraine as its own despite the fact it doesn't fully control them. the un secretary general says tomorrows official signing ceremony in moscow is a blatatnt violation of international law. is a blatant violation of international law. it is a dangerous escalation. it has no place in the modern world. it must not be accepted. a fourth leak is discovered in the nord stream gas pipeline in the baltic. the kremlin agrees with nato it could only be sabotage. but the russians still deny they were responsible. president biden says hurricane ian could be the deadliest storm that's ever hit florida, there is untold damage and still no clear picture on casualties.
