the father, stepmother and uncle of ten—year—old sara sharif are due to appear in court charged with her murder. the former spanish football federation president, luis rubiales, arrives at court in madrid to respond to accusations of sexual assault. london fashion week is under way as stars gather on the red carpet for a night of glamour at vogue's latest event. we are going to take you to some breaking news. this concerns the escape of daniel khalife on the 6th of september. he was captured on the saturday gone. an urgent question

has been put to the prisons minister. this is regarding the staffing levels at wandsworth prison. we understand from chris mason, our correspondent, that the government has now acknowledged, this is via prisons minister damian hinds, that 80 prison officers did not turn up for their expected shift at wandsworth prison on the day the terror suspect escaped. the question was put to him a little earlier and damian hinds said nearly 40% of the staff due to work that day were not there. also adding that he had visited the prison, wandsworth prison, a few months ago, and the biggest issue then facing the prison was staffing shortages. more on this when we get it. we can return to events in spain. we can cross to

madrid and guy hedgecoe who has been following the story of the former spanish federation chief luis rubiales who is in court today, facing a high courtjudge and facing allegations of sexual assault against the women's spanish player jenni hermoso. what has taken place today? mr jenni hermoso. what has taken place toda ? ~ , ., , , jenni hermoso. what has taken place toda ? ~ , . , , ., jenni hermoso. what has taken place toda? today? mr rubiales is due to begin this hearing _ today? mr rubiales is due to begin this hearing in _ today? mr rubiales is due to begin this hearing in a _ today? mr rubiales is due to begin this hearing in a national _ today? mr rubiales is due to begin this hearing in a national court - this hearing in a national court behind me in about 25 minutes or so. he arrived about 15 minutes ago and he walked along this road behind me, walked past the many members of the press who are waiting to intercept him but he wouldn't speak to any of them and went into the building where he will be giving his testimony before a judge who is investigating this case to decide whether he can face trial for possible sexual assault and also

coercion againstjenni hermoso, the player he kissed at the end of the world cup final. he is in the building at the moment. we believe his hearing has not yet begun but it will begin very soon.— his hearing has not yet begun but it will begin very soon. could you give us an indication _ will begin very soon. could you give us an indication of _ will begin very soon. could you give us an indication of part _ will begin very soon. could you give us an indication of part of— will begin very soon. could you give us an indication of part of his - us an indication of part of his defence and how it is he is facing thejudge defence and how it is he is facing the judge today. defence and how it is he is facing thejudge today. because defence and how it is he is facing the judge today. because up until now he has always denied it, of course, and there have been a lot of questions over what exactlyjenni hermoso was going to do about the furore that developed after the kiss on the podium. furore that developed after the kiss on the podium-— on the podium. throughout this affair he has — on the podium. throughout this affair he has insisted _ on the podium. throughout this affair he has insisted on - on the podium. throughout this affair he has insisted on his - affair he has insisted on his innocence and he says the kiss he gave jenni innocence and he says the kiss he gavejenni hermoso was consensual. he said he asked her if he could give her a kiss and she said yes and it was completely consensual. that

is what he has consistently maintained throughout. that contradicts whatjenni hermoso has said. part of his defence seems to have rested on a video which emerged a few days after the affair blew up in whichjenni hermoso was seen with some of her team—mates on the team bus after the world cup final apparentlyjoking and laughing about the case that mr rubiales had given her. he claimed that undermined her case that it was a nonconsensual kiss. she has said the opposite, that it doesn't change anything. the prosecutor in this case clearly feels there is a case of possible sexual assault here. that is being investigated. but really that is at the heart of this. it is mr rubiales's claim that the kiss was consensual againstjenni hermoso's claim that it was not. i consensual against jenni hermoso's claim that it was not.— claim that it was not. i understand mr rubiales _ claim that it was not. i understand mr rubiales could _ claim that it was not. i understand mr rubiales could face _ claim that it was not. i understand mr rubiales could face a _ claim that it was not. i understand mr rubiales could face a possible l mr rubiales could face a possible charge of coercion. what more can

what is the state of the spanish women's team at the moment? i understand a new coach will be unveiled. ., �* , ~ understand a new coach will be unveiled. . �* , . ., ., unveiled. that's right. we have a new coach _ unveiled. that's right. we have a new coach who _ unveiled. that's right. we have a new coach who was _ unveiled. that's right. we have a new coach who was announced i unveiled. that's right. we have a new coach who was announced a | unveiled. that's right. we have a - new coach who was announced a few days ago. today is the day when she is due to announce her first squad for the first game under her against sweden. but there is a problem for her in that the players in the national team and many other spanish players have essentially gone on strike saying they will not represent spain until there were major changes at the top of spanish football and within spanish football's leadership. they have obviously been some changes there with mr rubiales resigning. . but the latest we have heard is the players are not convinced by this and they want to see further changes at the top of spanish football and they are holding out for more changes before they accept the

0ctober. that is likely to impact staff members on the rail network across the uk. another two days of strike action by aslef, the train drivers' union on saturday the 30th september and wednesday the 11th of october. saturday marks a year since mahsa amini died in state custody in iran, after she'd been arrested by the country's morality police for allegedly not wearing her veil properly. it sparked widespread protests, and authorities have carried out a wave of arrests in recent weeks to prevent new unrest. iranian film—maker and activist mojgan ilanlu has been arrested several times in the last year for not wearing the hijab and criticising the country's leadership. exceptionally, she agreed to speak with the bbc�*s caroline hawley from her home in tehran without wearing a veil. translation: what has changed after mahsa's death is men's - public opinion of women.

in the streets, in the metro, in bazaars, men constantly admire women. they praise women's courage. even at family gatherings, which i believe is the most significant fruit of mahsa's movement. society won't go back to pre—mahsa times. the regime cannot do anything because of the prevalence of the civil disobedience. they pretend that they are in control of the situation but everything regarding women has got out of hand. universities, trades and even governmental organisations are conquered by women who are going out in public without a mandatory hijab. this is not a simple act of taking off the headscarf but an announcement of women's power. mojgan, what percentage of women would you say are now going out without wearing the headscarf? it doesn't matter what percentage of women do not wear a headscarf. what matters is the proportion of women who do not wear

compulsory hijab even in religious family gatherings. the most remarkable phenomena is that in some highly religious cities women no longer wear a headscarf. you sound very optimistic even though the protests have essentially subsided, they have been crushed. i think we were raised in a traditional manner but because of the social media, the new generations have the same awareness that other kids all around the world have. they have the same egalitarian tendencies that other youths have. and do you think there are likely to be widespread protests to mark a year since mahsa amini's death? i'm not a fortune teller, but because the repression is so extreme people won't appear in public that much. there will not be graffiti or slogans on the walls. even i, a symbol of bravery, deactivated my instagram account because the security forces called me and threatened me again.

they come for your family, for your spouse or brother, and they inspect your house. they paralyse your life. the techniques of protest have changed but the strategy hasn't. in universities, the dining halls have become mixed. in buses and metros too. when women get married they are including equal rights in their contracts. everywhere women are becoming equal to men, which is so important. a night of glamour marked the start of london fashion week as the stars gathered on the red carpet at vogue's newest event. the famed west end — andrew lloyd webber�*s theatre royal drury lane was transformed for the evening — for a celebration of british theatre, music and dance. our culture reporter annabel rackham

was there and sent this report. acting royalty, the biggest names in music and the most famous faces in fashion came out to support the sophomore vogue world event held in london. tickets were made available to members of the public starting at £150 in an attempt to make the world of fashion more accessible. all proceeds from the evening will go towards arts organisations in the uk. from bigger names such as the national theatre and royal opera house, down to industry freelancers. the organisers, us editor of vogue anna wintour and her outgoing british counterpart edward enninfu said the aim was to help a sector badly hit by the economy and a lack of government funding. the pair say most of the donations will go to the arts in london which they see

as a gateway to the rest of the uk. guests were treated to a stunning showcase of performances representing the diversity of the british arts scene. stormzy�*s heavy is the head was greeted by huge cheers from the audience. whilst fka twigs dazzled with a rendition of it's a fine day, complete with dancers. of course fashion was on the menu, kate moss turned the stage into a catwalk supported by opera singers. and annie lennox closed the evening with a vocal performance. whilst the world's biggest supermodels, cindy crawford, linda evangelista, naomi campbell and christy turlington graced the stage holding hands. whether the event was britain's answer to the iconic met gala remains to be decided but it

certainly had some big fashion moments to rival it. annabel rackham, bbc news. with more on this reporter yasmin khatun dewan is in the newsroom. a fantastic event and some amazing faces and names. do you think this is the uk's answer to america's met gala? i is the uk's answer to america's met gala? ., �* ~' is the uk's answer to america's met gala? ., �* ~ ., , gala? i don't think it was quite the met gala. gala? i don't think it was quite the met gaia- itut _ gala? i don't think it was quite the met gala. but it— gala? i don't think it was quite the met gala. but it was _ gala? i don't think it was quite the met gala. but it was an _ gala? i don't think it was quite the met gala. but it was an amazing . met gala. but it was an amazing night that created a lot of noise and got london fashion week off to a very glamorous start, and it needed that boost. we heard in that report about post—covid the support needed for young designers and london is a heart for young and emerging talent so good to get it after this glamorous start, sometimes london fashion week can lack some of the stardust may be of paris where you have some of the big—name brands

showcasing their collections. so to get it off to this really glamorous start and have an a winter in london, we have heard she is moving back to the city to focus on british vogue and there was talk about we might hear who the successor would be to the uk edition of vogue. it wasn't quite the met gala with that thematic presence and spectrum of designers but it was certainly a very glamours night.— designers but it was certainly a very glamours night. what should we exect over very glamours night. what should we exaeet over the _ very glamours night. what should we expect over the next _ very glamours night. what should we expect over the next few _ very glamours night. what should we expect over the next few days? - expect over the next few days? london fashion week will be hosting some of those big british names like burberry, but knewjen is a real focus for london fashion week will stop yesterday i spoke to the ceo of the british fashion council. lots of events

rush yesterday she said one of the things that stood out with london fashion week, when you compare it to paris, milan and new york, it's the multiculturalism. you have designers from all around the world who come to london because of the support that exists in the city and also the opportunity to showcase real creativity, innovation and things that can be really quite different. some of the designers we see, some of the emerging talent. i was at this exhibition showcasing the new generation talent from london and it was incredibly diverse and we don't necessarily see that in other major fashion collections around the world. london really is the leader on that front. i think what ends up happening is you hone that talent and occasionally that gets stripped off elsewhere and you have british talent focusing in paris, milan and new york, but it's london where it all starts. ., ~ , ., ., , new york, but it's london where it

it is more control that is being forced upon us. most motorists are responsible. there are only a few people who will spoil it for everybody else. and they are going to carry on doing it regardless of whatever laws and legislation is put in place. here in st brides major, they have been trialling the new limit. applying it across the village, not just on specific streets. for some families, it has made them more confident in going out to walk and cycle. for me with young children, they don't pay attention - when they are walking down the road. actually, if they step offl the pavement or they are on their bikes and still learning how to ride . their bikes and they wobble - into the road, there is plenty more time to correct themselves or for drivers to react - which there wouldn't have been i in the past particularly at the busy times with lots of cars . parked up at the school. when the new restriction

was trialled, traffic was monitored for hours to see what difference it would make. on average vehicles did travel more slowly. but the majority of drivers, 55%, still broke the 20 mile an hourlimit. the man leading the charge on slowing wales down is adamant a lower limit will save lives. even if it does frustrate some drivers, him included. i have to make a conscious effort to drive at 20 miles an hour. i think i am not a particularly patient driver. for me i have to make an effort to do it. but i know i am making that effort because, as i make the same effort to observe other speed limits, i am doing it because there is a good reason for doing that, and i see many other people doing the same. scotland is also set to introduce a national 20 mile an hour limit in 2025. road safety charities want the rest of the uk to follow in the same direction. hywel griffith, bbc news.

mps have urged the government to commit to legislation to enable self—driving cars to be regulated in the uk. they argue that if this doesn't happen, any competitive advantage over other countries developing the technology could be lost. here's our transport correspondent, katy austin: at the moment you can take your hands off the wheel on uk motorways if you are driving the one model of car that has had the relevant technology approved in this country. i had a go back in the spring. but this is not autonomous, or fully self—driving. in the us, driverless taxis are allowed to carry passengers on the streets of san francisco, but it hasn't gone completely smoothly. a recent collision with a fire engine raised fresh safety concerns. the uk government backs the idea of vehicles which can drive themselves for all or some of the time on our roads. trials are being done with a safety

driver behind the wheel. getting to the point where they can be widely introduced is complicated. big questions need to be addressed, including who is responsible if there is a crash. consumers and drivers need to understand their roles and responsibilities for the safe operating of this vehicle. secondly, is the safety aspect. so, are these self—driving vehicles actually safer than manually driven vehicles? and then, finally, is that vehicle manufacturers are actually willing to share that data for the greater benefit of everyone else. today's report by a committee of mps says the government needs to get on with creating the necessary laws and regulations. what we are calling for is, in the king's speech coming up in november, that space is available for this legislation go through. if we don't move now, our competitors will catch up with us. so, time is of the essence to secure britain's leading position in this work. among the issues which have been

raised, concerns that people will become less skilled behind the wheel as more automation is brought in. also, the report says a plan is needed to make sure all drivers understand the new technology. driving tests might have to change. self driving vehicles could bring big benefits, but there is still some way to go on the journey. katy austin, bbc news. a jumper once owned by princess diana has sold at an auction in new york for $1.1 million. the red woollen sweater is covered by white sheep, with a single black one. diana wore it to a polo match in 1981, shortly after her engagement to prince charles. the piece of knitwear was unearthed in an attic in march and sotheby�*s had estimated the value of the "sheep jumper" at 50 to $80,000.

but it sold at $1.1 million. we can very quickly take you to madrid in spain. that's a courthouse in madrid where luis rubiales will be facing, we are not sure if the case has begun yet, proceedings have begun, but luis rubiales, the former head of the spanish football federation, is facing a high courtjudge following allegations of sexual assault. this stemming from his kiss of the playerjenni hermoso. she arguing that it was nonconsensual. it took place after spain's triumph at the football world cup in sydney last month. mr rubiales was filmed at the time. he has denied all the allegations but the incident did trigger protests over sexism in the

sport and wider spanish society as well. now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith—lucas. hello. it's another day of contrasts in the weather north to south across the uk. we've got warmth and humidity spilling in from the south, so lots of warm sunshine for parts of england and wales. but there is some rain in the forecast too. much fresher conditions further north as well. all down to the fact that we've got this waving weather front. you can see on the satellite image the swathes of cloud here. it's a warm frontjust edging its way very slowly north, bringing some rain but also dividing much cooler, fresher air across the north to this humid air that's piling its way in from the south. that's going to mean temperatures again on the rise today and tomorrow at least before things turn more unsettled by sunday. but back to today. here is the slow—moving band of rain affecting scottish borders, parts of northumberland for a time, across county down and into the isle of man as well. only 13 or 1a to the north of that rain band, but in the south, in the sunshine, 2a, 25 degrees and feeling very pleasant. got some high cloud bubbling up

and you will notice the humidity increasing here as well. through this evening and tonight, the band of cloud and rain becomes a little more fragmented and showery in nature and there will also be some heavy showers working into the channel islands, the south—west of england, where you can hear the odd rumble of thunder. largely mild, a little bit murky elsewhere. a few mist and fog patches forming but fresher in the north, single figures under those clearer skies. now, through saturday, we still have got the band of rain and cloud. it won't be as heavy or persistent as it will be today. starting to move its way further south. an improvement for parts of scotland and northern ireland too. relatively cool 15 or 16 degrees but again down towards the south in that sunshine, highs up to about 26, possibly 27 degrees. it's all change into sunday as we see thunderstorms moving on from the south. so some heavy downpours, blustery winds with some of these heavy showers and they become quite extensive, i think, across much of england, wales, perhaps northern ireland. a little bit drier across the north of scotland but those temperatures back into mid to high teens, perhaps low 20s. heading into monday,

we have this more persistent band of rain, this front tracking its way slowly eastwards. we will still hold onto some warmth and humidity in the south but we are looking at fresher conditions moving in from the west and an unsettled picture by monday, some blustery showers and that's going to be the story through much of the week. the next few days certainly very warm in the south, a thundery breakdown on sunday, unsettled into next week.

live from london. this is bbc news. the un says libya's flood disaster is a tragedy caused by the collision of "climate and ca pacity". the red cross remains hopeful of finding survivors.
