the flamboyant businessman, mohamed al fayed the former owner of harrods whose son was killed alongside princess diana in a car crash in paris has died. hello, i'm nancy kacungira. every public building in england should be checked for structural problems caused by the lightweight concrete, raac. that's the call from the opposition labour party after more than a hundred schools were ordered to close classrooms until they can be re—enforced. to close classrooms there are warnings that many more public buildings, such as hospitals and prisons, could be affected. with the latest details, here's harry farley. more schools are expected to close next week. parents are facing an anxious wait to know whether it is safe for their children to return to the classroom. fin safe for their children to return to the classroom.— safe for their children to return to the classroom. on one skill i have ten rooms — the classroom. on one skill i have ten rooms and _

its one point five million kilometre orbit around earth will give it a clear view of our nearest star. sandhya ramesh is the science editor at theprint, a digital news portal. she explained what india hopes to achieve with this mission. the primary objective of the mission is to study and understand the sun, the different layers of the sun, the outer three layers and understand how the sun interacts with the earth's atmosphere and the solar wind which emanates from the sun and its interactions with the earth. so, we are just aiming to understand the sun better as well as the interactions of the sun with other objects in the solar system. so, what does understanding that better help us with here on earth, so to speak? what is the significance of what we can learn there for india and for the world? the sun is constantly streaming out a jet of particles, ions and electrons, charged particles, and these interact

with our earth's atmosphere. and when there is too much of it, it could potentially knock out our satellites in the form of a geomagnetic storm, for example, so these are the things that we are hoping to understand how these processes work, so we are able to predict the solar weather better and understand how solar flares can also be predicted. 0k. india has earned quite a name for itself for cost—effective space research, doing things on a budget. what is the budget for this exploration and how does it compare to what other countries have spent or are spending? well, the budget for this is 400 crores. sorry, i am not able to convert it in my head. of course, other space agencies have spent much more, depending on the mission, as well as the maturity of the space agency. nasa, for example, has the parker solar probe right now, which is near the sun physically and is studying the sun and,

of course of the budget for that i believe, is in billions. so, yeah, this is the first mission from india to study the sun and therefore, it is almost like a technology demonstrator, without too many sophisticated payloads, so it is a low—budget mission. 0k, and not long ago we were watching, you know, another mission take off to the moon. india seeing an obvious in the field of space research. is this boosting the economy or is that impact going to be felt there? absolutely. i think that every space programme, whenever there are new advancements made, you do see spin off projects that help boost the economy. and that is the hope. we hope it will get there. it is really exciting because you can see the indian space it is moving on from commercial flights to orbit to interplanetary

science, research projects and spacecraft so that is pretty exciting. spacecraft so that is pretty excitina. �* ., ., ., the uk's home secretary has order a review into police impartiality after accusing officers of being involved in political activism. suella braverman has said there has been an "unacceptable rise" in the number of police "taking sides on controversial issues" here's our political reporter, tony bonsignore with further analysis of this review. yes, this is very familiar ground. suella braverman has long been critical of some elements of the police getting involved in things like political marches and parades and, for example, taking the knee or getting involved in issues of gender when it is politically contested, she would say. what she has done today, she has written to his majesty's inspectorate of constabulary, this is the body that inspects policing on behalf of the government and the taxpayer and said, look, it wants to look into these issues. it wants, she wants it

to look specifically at a couple of things. one whether it is diverting attention away from what she would say is, she calls it common sense policing, day—to—day policing, investigating and responding to crimes. and also she says she wants to looking at whether it is affecting public confidence in policing. she has also written to chief constables, the heads of all these forces at the same time, too, and she wants this body to report by the end of march. it is familiar territory, there is, for the government and for suella braverman in particular who is well—known for getting involved in these kinds of issues but she has gone the step further now by ordering this review. the uk government's proposed shake—up of the country's cosmetics industry has been opened for public consultation. under the proposal, unlicensed providers will be banned from administering cosmetic procedures including botox and filler injections. industry heavy weights say it's the biggest overhaul in a generation.

doctor sophie shotterjoines me now. she's an aesthetic doctor and a trustee of the british college of aesthetic medicine. great to have you on the programme. just paint a picture for us. why does this matter? 50. just paint a picture for us. why does this matter?— just paint a picture for us. why does this matter? so, within the aesthetic medical _ does this matter? so, within the aesthetic medical space - does this matter? so, within the aesthetic medical space in - does this matter? so, within the aesthetic medical space in the i does this matter? so, within the| aesthetic medical space in the uk does this matter? so, within the - aesthetic medical space in the uk we have a real lack of regulation that is unlike anything seen anywhere else globally where anyone can go on a short training course and pick up a short training course and pick up a needle and syringe and injected into peoples faces our bodies. and with that come significant risks. so, fries at the british college of aesthetic medicine and other professional bodies, seeking regulation is really key to ensuring patient safety in a sector of medicine that keeps growing and growing and more people are becoming interested in it. find growing and more people are becoming interested in it.— interested in it. and so this consultation, _ interested in it. and so this consultation, what - interested in it. and so this consultation, what impact i interested in it. and so this i consultation, what impact you interested in it. and so this - consultation, what impact you think it could have? because we have become all too familiar with stories

people trying to have these treatments and then being far more accessible and that means that there are going to be more people experiencing problems and so we are at a point now where maybe until more recently we have got away with that. yes, there have been people experiencing complications and problems in botched procedures but it hasn't been such a big number. and now, amongst our colleagues and amongst our data are shown by the british college of aesthetic medicine, we have a rising problem. so what would you like to see happen after this consultation? what so what would you like to see happen after this consultation?— after this consultation? what really ho -e we after this consultation? what really hope we see _ after this consultation? what really hope we see is _ after this consultation? what really hope we see is a — after this consultation? what really hope we see is a regulation - after this consultation? what really hope we see is a regulation of- after this consultation? what really hope we see is a regulation of the i hope we see is a regulation of the people who are administering these treatments are a licensing treatment to ensure that minimum training standards are met and it is important to note that, as medical professionals, we are already very tightly regulated and controlled and praised and checked to make sure we meet basic standards but this extends beyond health care practitioners. this extends to laypeople currently practising in this area. and also the premises. so

some clinics are registered with the care quality commission because we treat diseases and disorders. and so tightly regulated in that regard as well. but the regulatory system for premises that comes under the remit of the local authority would be something i would very welcome to make sure that minimum practices, minimum safety standards in terms of hygiene are enforced. what makes what the manager saying there is a distinction between doctors who are highly regulated and people who can really do is pick up the craft. what really do is pick up the craft. what are some of _ really do is pick up the craft. what are some of the _ really do is pick up the craft. what are some of the worst _ really do is pick up the craft. what are some of the worst examples you've seen of what happens as a result of that? 50. you've seen of what happens as a result of that?— result of that? so, doctors, dentists _ result of that? so, doctors, dentists and _ result of that? so, doctors, dentists and nurses - result of that? so, doctors, dentists and nurses i - result of that? so, doctors, dentists and nurses i thinkl result of that? so, doctors, i dentists and nurses i think are result of that? so, doctors, - dentists and nurses i think are all very tightly regulated but, for me, the biggest horror story that i personally come across has been finding a beauty therapist performing liposuction and facial fat transfer and social media so i found videos, ifound lots fat transfer and social media so i found videos, i found lots of information about this and i tried to show it everywhere. i tried to

speak to the care quality commission, we even went to the police, we went to environmental health and not one person had the authority to stop this person from practising. and under the new proposed regulatory system, those types of high risk surgical procedures would be classified as something which can only be performed by health care practitioners.— performed by health care practitioners. that is quite incredible. _ practitioners. that is quite incredible. thank - practitioners. that is quite incredible. thank you - practitioners. that is quite incredible. thank you so i practitioners. that is quite - incredible. thank you so much. practitioners. that is quite _ incredible. thank you so much. great to have you joining us. incredible. thank you so much. great to have youjoining us.— to have you “oining us. thank you for having — to have you joining us. thank you for having me. _ thank you for having me. now it's time for a look at today's sport. hello from the bbc sport centre. hello there. we'll start with the premier league, because after all the big transfer deadline day deals the focus returns to the action on the pitch. the early game between sheffield united and everton is already well underway. they're two of four sides yet to pick up a single point yet and before saturday everton hadn't even scored in the league.

that has though changed. everton took the lead through abdoulaye doucoure, but sheffield united have equalised in the last few minutes. cameron archer on target. meanwhile two of the other five matches on saturday could provide the league with a new leader. manchester city and spurs have a chance of replacing west ham at the top of the table. champions city host fulham while ange postecoglou's spurs are at burnley. i'v e i've been really encouraged by what i've been really encouraged by what i have seen. you know, the players overly trying play the way we want to. they are showing real character and resilience to, you know, adjust and resilience to, you know, adjust and not let the fact that so many changes have happened to affect our performance. a performance has been valley consistent. i also know we have got a long way to go. we are very much at the beginning and we have plenty ahead. for the eighth time in grand slams novak djokovic came back from two

sets down to win a match. and his victim on this occasion was his fellow serb laslo djere at the us open. djokovic avoided a shock as he attempts to equal the overall grand slam record of 2a, winning the decider in the early hours of the morning in new york saying that he gave himself a pep talk in the mirror during a break once he'd lost the second set. djokovic through to round four. as is the women's world number one iga swiatek. although she was only court for 50 minutes as she beat her best friend kaja juvan of slovenia. that friendship extended far enough to give upjust one game to her opponent in the whole match. caroline wozniacki's dream comeback continues. she came from a set down to beat jennifer brady in three. former world number one wozniacki retired in 2020 and had two children, but returned last month and is now looking forward to a fourth round meeting with another american, coco gauff. the rugby union world cup gets under way on friday. and with a lot further to travel than many. and their involvement in the opening game against the hosts. new zealand have already arrived in the country. the all blacks have had a somewhat

bumpy ride in the build up to the tournament. falling to a heavy 35—7 defeat to south africa in their final warmup match. and the three time champion's coach ian foster has had to deal with some questions over the effectiveness of his forward line are we happy with our pack? yeah, we are. but we know we have to get better. it has been an area of strength for i so i think, and, you know, you've got to remember that teams have to grow through this tournament. i know we want to present ourselves at the peak of our powers at the start and we will try to do that but it is how we grow through it and, you know, you want to be there at the end and to do that you've got to get better each day. british middleweight chris eubankjunior says defeat to liam smith tonight would spell the end of his career. the pair meet again in a rematch at manchester arena — 8 months on from smith's victory in january. eubankjunior says this

is the biggest moment in his career. and he can't afford to get it wrong. this is the most important fight of my career, 100%. everything is on the line. everything is on the line. i have to go out there, i have to assert my dominance. i had to take this man out, i have no other choice, so that is where i get my confidence from. there is no other option for me but to n.— option for me but to n. have to exect a option for me but to n. have to expect a different _ option for me but to n. have to expect a different opponent - option for me but to n. have to - expect a different opponent because i expect a different opponent because i knocked _ expect a different opponent because i knocked out because he can't come with the _ i knocked out because he can't come with the same game plan. i am not worried _ with the same game plan. i am not worried about the cycle. this could be anyone — worried about the cycle. this could be anyone i— worried about the cycle. this could be anyone. ijust need to win tomorrow— be anyone. ijust need to win tomorrow to keep going for i want to lo. and that's all the sport for now. typhoon saola appears to have caused less damage than feared after battering the southern coast of china. in hong kong, trees were uprooted and some people received minor injuries, but public transport is slowly resuming.

martin yip reports from hong kong. make no mistake, typhoon saola is bringing quite some damages to hong kong. if i can show you this area. it is around ten, 15 metres tall has fallen just like that. the tree is pretty much, like, uprooted. it is in the middle of a park and has been cordoned off by, i believe, pike officers, park management here. it is obviously not blocking any passageway, doesn't seem to have hurt anyone passing by. yet, there are many tree branches littered on pavements. you can see there are people back on the streets jogging, enjoying the rest of saturday. some

people just take the initiative to clear some branches along the way. but other than that, since hong kong has spared itself in pretty much the worst damages that you could imagine under this typhoon, according to the same government's reports, only less than 90 people have been admitted to hospital, and emergency rooms to receive treatment and there is no mentioning of serious injuries our casualties so hong kong has been faring all right. the typhoon is over so it is all about restoring lives and if you talk about the airport, flights were cancelled and now the airport authorities are

saying that some 480 flights have been signed up to take off today, saturday, and more are expected to resume on sunday. for high—speed trains that goes into mainland china, according to their train operator, it has been suspended until tomorrow but according to china, trains in one province have already been resumed and they will increase services as much as they can. as much as they can. rail passengers in england are facing a second day of disruption as thousands of rmt union members go on strike. some journeys into scotland and wales will also be affected. train drivers with aslef walked out yesterday, as both unions continue disputes with rail operators and the government over pay. let's talk to our business correspondent, marc ashdown, who is at euston, one of london's busiest stations.

membership five out yet and they would like to see the threat of any future strike suspended as an act of good faith, really. a bit of a chicken and egg situation. bedside say, and i quote, we are ready and willing to sit down possibly as early as this week but both also be hoping the other will blinken first. long, then, before things get back to normal? ., �* , . to normal? look, don't be deceived b her to normal? look, don't be deceived by her visit — to normal? look, don't be deceived by her visit looks _ to normal? look, don't be deceived by her visit looks behind _ to normal? look, don't be deceived by her visit looks behind me. - to normal? look, don't be deceived by her visit looks behind me. a - to normal? look, don't be deceived by her visit looks behind me. a lot. by her visit looks behind me. a lot without enjoying the sun and having a bit of lunch. crossing the rail service pretty badly disrupted today. the members of the rmt union are out for a 24—hour sort of expect about half services to run throughout the day put up it will affect services under scotland and wales as well but the trouble is it takes a bit of time to like. the rail networks are feverishly difficult puzzle to solve once the pieces are spread out, the trains, the crews, guards, the drivers, once they are in the wrong place at this could be before monday before we see normal service resumed. the good news is there is no fresh strikes planned. no data on the diary but the rmt and aslef, the drivers are

just a day on strike to have a mandate for more so we live on hope there may be talks as early as next week but this could easily escalate again. mil week but this could easily escalate aaain. �* . ~ week but this could easily escalate aaain. �* ., ,, again. all right, thank you. our business reporter _ again. all right, thank you. our business reporter there. - the billionaire businessman, mohamed al fayed, who went from selling soft drinks in egypt to owning harrods and the paris ritz, has died, at the age of 94. his eldest son, dodi, was killed alongside princess diana in a car crash in paris, 26 years ago. an inquiry into mr al fayed's business dealings led successive governments to refuse him british citizenship. mohamed al fayed, once the proud owner of harrods, the world's most famous department store, who yearned to be part of the british establishment. born in egypt, he married the sister of billionaire arms dealer adnan khashoggi and built a business empire. he bought the ritz hotel in paris and defeated the lonrho group in the battle to buy harrods. lonrho's chief executive, tiny rowland, demanded an inquiry which found mohamed al—fayed had exaggerated his wealth

and background. successive governments refused him british citizenship. do you think this is fair from the home secretary to behave the way with someone like me who have given employment to thousands of people, having four british kids? just. it shows what type of people, you know, infiltrate in the political life and give us such a deal. revenge was swift. two conservative ministers, neil hamilton and tim smith, left the government accused of taking cash to ask questions in the commons. another, jonathan aiken, resigned after mohamed al fayed revealed that he'd stayed free of charge at the ritz in paris at the same time as saudi arms dealers.

he went on to buy fulham football club and courted the royal family. when his son dodi began a relationship with diana, princess of wales, it seemed mohamed al fayed had finally won a place at the highest levels of british society. but when dodi and diana were killed in paris, he insisted they'd been murdered by mi6. the claims were investigated by the police and a coroner, and found to be without substance. outside the court, he clung to conspiracy theories. but the evidence doesn't back you up, does it, mr al fayed? the evidence? what evidence? i am not talking to you because you are a bloody idiot. you are part of the establishment and yourjournalists belong. you work for. you work for mi6, you idiot. combative and increasingly embittered, mohamed al fayed spent so many of his later years determined to destroy an establishment he'd once been so keen to join.

the businessman, mohamed al fayed, whose died, at the age of 94. you can find all our stories on our website including more on mohamed al fayed and other stories. just search bbc news. thank you for staying with us. we will have the headlines for you and just a short while. hello there. we started off this morning with a bit of patchy mist and fog, but much of that is starting to clear away, and for many of us, we're looking at some warm, sunny spells into the afternoon. that was the scene this morning in gwynedd, a lovely calm start to the day there across the sea. now, this is the satellite image. you can see we've got quite a bank of clouds to the far northwest of the uk, but generally speaking, across the uk, this is where

we've got the clearer skies, the finer weather as we go through this weekend. so, still a bit of cloud across some central areas continuing to clear away, and we could catch just the odd shower across the far south of england and across wales. but really, for most of us, it's going to be a dry day with those warm, sunny spells, temperatures getting up to about 21 to 24 degrees celsius quite widely, about 15 to 18 degrees further north and west across scotland where the cloud will thicken later in the day. tonight, there'll be some patches of mist and fog developing mainly across southern areas of england, the midlands, towards east anglia as well, that cloud thickening in the far north and west of scotland. some outbreaks of rain here, but a milder night to come across scotland compared to last night. temperatures last night down close to freezing in the northeast but tonight 13 to 15 degrees. throughout sunday then, still that cloud and that rain across the far northwest, any of that mist and fog across southern areas clearing away and lots of sunshine expected during sunday. and with light winds

across england and wales, that's going to feel really quite warm, breezier across scotland and the far northwest, really, with that cloud, that rain, that brings temperatures to probably more like about 15 to 17 celsius, but towards eastern scotland, 23 degrees celsius there in aberdeen, 24, 25 degrees, the further south we come. 0n through next week, high pressure will move its way a bit further eastward. but what it does, it keeps things relatively settled. and with that, a southeasterly wind will bring in much warmer conditions. so, this is the air mass picture. there's a lot of orange here in the map and that's just showing us that we've got this warm air coming in from the south east. temperatures will rise throughout the week, particularly for england and wales, 25 to 28, perhaps 30 degrees on wednesday or thursday with that sunshine. temperatures even across scotland, northern ireland in the low—to—mid 20s. it will start to break down a little bit though by the end of next week. bye— bye. temperatures even across scotland, northern ireland in the low—to—mid 20s. it will start to break down a little bit though by the end of next week. bye— bye.
