verstappen has a huge 151 point lead over his team—mate sergio perez in the standings heading into this weekends race and is back on form after last weekend's blip, in singapore. but today's session was ended early, when pierre gasly, lost control at the notorious degner two corner, locking a front wheel before sliding off track and ripping off a front wheel on the barrier. julien nagelsmann has been appointed the new manager of germany. the 36—year—old takes overfrom hansi flick who was sacked earlier this month. nagelsmann has been out of work since leaving bayern munich last season. he's signed a deal until the 31st ofjuly next year, which will see him lead the team at euro 2024, which is being held in germany. argentina recovered from the opening game defeat to england at the rugby world cup, with win over samoa in pool d. their winger, emiliano boffelli converted his own try and kicked three penalties. sama malolo powered over late on for samoa, to set up a frantic finish, but nicolas sanchez�*s penalty sealed victory for argentina — 19—10 the score. the pumas remain fourth in the table despite what is only their second

ever win over the pacific islanders, who stay second behind leaders england. and that's all the sport for now. a quick update on the nations league between england and scotland, it is now 2—1 to england, you can get all the latest on that on the bbc news website. —— on the bbc sport website. rape trials, here in england, are already conducted in a very different way to other criminal prosecutions. these days, victims who come forward, are able to give evidence over video link, behind screens, sometimes without the public in the gallery. but conviction rates remain abysmally low. 70% who make a complaint withdraw before it gets to trial, only 1.6% of those rapes reported result in someone being charged. according to data released injuly, 2,210 adult rape cases were waiting to go to the crown court, a record high backlog,

and a 48% increase on the same quarter last year. the law commission thinks one solution is to ban journalists from court in order to increase confidence amongst victims — they have proposed thatjust one reporter be allowed into court and that their work pooled. that suggestion has been universally condemned by the newspaper editors. and not entirely supporter by all victims. here's ellie wilson who waived her right to anonymity speaking this afternoon to radio 4. she argues having morejournalists in court improves the process. i wanted my story to be told and obviously i appreciate i did come out of that court experience with a guilty verdict. but i wanted everyone to know what had happened to me. i also think this culture of secrecy in the courts and a lot of behaviour, particularly from the defence goes unchecked. and i think thatjournalists play

a role in such of keeping that bad behaviour in check and i think that wayward lawyers might think twice before engaging in any inappropriate behaviour. the law commission declined to appear on the programme. however a spokesman sent us this statement. the law commission is "reviewing the law on the use of evidence in sexual offences trials." it says it wants to improve how complainants are treated and make sure that defendants get a fair trial. it is "consulting on making it easier for complainants" to give evidence in private and says it will always be their choice whether to request this. the commission says this would continue to include "an important exemption to allow the media to report the story". dawn alford is the executive director of the society of editors. dawn, lovely to see you. there is, you can see from the numbers,

something fundamentally flawed where the majority of complainants drop out of the system, something has to be done, perhaps this is one solution?— be done, perhaps this is one solution? , , , ., solution? yes, those figures you auoted at solution? yes, those figures you quoted at the — solution? yes, those figures you quoted at the beginning - solution? yes, those figures you quoted at the beginning of - solution? yes, those figures you quoted at the beginning of yourl quoted at the beginning of your report are staggering, aren't they? we, the society of editors, aren't particularly convinced that the measures that are proposed will do anything to help that, really. i think there are two issues that are really important to understand. i mean the very first one, obviously is that victims of sexual assault and rape should be protected by all means possible. and i hope and i believe that that it already is the case, but the second one is open justice, and as ellie said bravely, bravely talked about already today in both in newspapers and on the radio today, i think it is about justice being seen to be done, not only is justice justice being seen to be done, not only isjustice done justice being seen to be done, not only is justice done but it should be seen to be done, and that is

about openjustice, and i think be seen to be done, and that is about open justice, and i think that helps in terms of people coming forward. we have seen in the past that other victims of sexual assault and rape have come forward following reports in the press, so these measures that are being talked about are not only unworkable but it really goes against the whole stance of open justice. find really goes against the whole stance of open justice-— of open 'ustice. and your point would of open justice. and your point would be. _ of open justice. and your point would be, would _ of open justice. and your point would be, would it, _ of open justice. and your point would be, would it, dawn, - of open justice. and your point j would be, would it, dawn, that of open justice. and your point l would be, would it, dawn, that if you put a veil of secrecy over cases like this, in fact you might undermine public confidence in the process? undermine public confidence in the rocess? ~ , , undermine public confidence in the rocess? ~ , ., , ., process? absolutely, it goes back to what i was saying — process? absolutely, it goes back to what i was saying about _ process? absolutely, it goes back to what i was saying about open - what i was saying about open justice. if people see what happens in court, that the victims have been heard, and on different levels as well, it could be that the very fact that they want to have only one reporter in court is unworkable, practically, so that is almost a given, but it is that there are

different issues at stake. one reporter may be former regional newspaper or a local newspaper might be talking about the street like an inner sudden area, others might be talking about a bigger issue over coercive control or whatever it may be, so there are many different elements, and reporting is, at its heart, very much a part of open justice. heart, very much a part of open 'ustice. , , , , heart, very much a part of open 'ustice. , ,, , , , justice. the press in these cases have to act _ justice. the press in these cases have to act with _ justice. the press in these cases have to act with integrity, - justice. the press in these cases have to act with integrity, not i justice. the press in these cases have to act with integrity, not to identify further traumatised victims, and it has to be said their record isn't without blemish. weill. record isn't without blemish. well, all editors. — record isn't without blemish. well, all editors, all— record isn't without blemish. well, all editors, all journalists - record isn't without blemish. well, all editors, all journalists work - record isn't without blemish. -ii all editors, alljournalists work to all editors, alljournalists work to a very strict code of conduct, the editors code of conduct, there are also obviously laws in place when reporting court proceedings. and those are given. that happens, that doesn't go amiss. but it is about, i

think, what we have heard from ellie todayis think, what we have heard from ellie today is that it is really important that stories are told accurately and that stories are told accurately and that they are reported timely and that they are reported timely and that they are fact checked and so on. and that is what the editors code of conduct allows us to do, as thatis code of conduct allows us to do, as that is what court reporting has always done and that is what it always done and that is what it always has done so any restriction on the press in these areas are going to be worrisome.- on the press in these areas are going to be worrisome. what about that weather _ going to be worrisome. what about that weather the _ going to be worrisome. what about that weather the law _ going to be worrisome. what about that weather the law commission | that weather the law commission makes that it should be the decision of the complainant, the victim, to decide whether the press has access and that it be done on an individual basis? if there is a concern about, you know, the victim not wanting high identity or his identity revealed to the public, then surely that should be their choice, shouldn't it?— that should be their choice, shouldn't it? well there are

obviously — shouldn't it? well there are obviously very _ shouldn't it? well there are obviously very great - shouldn't it? well there are obviously very great rings i shouldn't it? well there are | obviously very great rings in shouldn't it? well there are - obviously very great rings in place that allow that to happen so you can be behind a screen, you can be in a different room, you can be elsewhere, and of course it is anonymity for life so no one's name is ever going to get out there, so you don't have to be seen by the public, by the reporters in the room, you have anonymity for life and there are very strict guidelines on what we can report on what we cannot report. so, if all that takes place, as it does, i would hope that victims of sexual abuse should feel confident that the journalists are on their side, we don't want to hurt them, we aptly have every sympathy with them and we understand completely how brave it is for someone to come forward. but at the same time it is important that justice is seen to be done, while obviously making sure the victim is absolutely protected.—

absolutely protected. well, we will see whether _ absolutely protected. well, we will see whether the _ absolutely protected. well, we will see whether the law _ absolutely protected. well, we will see whether the law commission l absolutely protected. well, we will - see whether the law commission takes that recommendations, thank you for joining us, dawn. the chairman of thejoint chiefs is the principal military adviser to the us president. in normal times he's supposed to focus his attention on america's national—security challenges, on the strength of us forces and their ability to respond. but the first 16 months of general mark milley�*s term, were anything but normal. his job in the white house was to control the impulses of an increasingly erratic president, donald trump. when questioned about a phone call he received from nancy pelosi on the aftermath of january 6th he told congressional leaders that he was not qualified to determine the mental health of the president of the united states. but "i sought to assure her" he said that a nuclear launch was governed by a very specific process and he wouldn't be able to launch them alone. general milley�*s terms ends next week, he will be replaced by air force general charles 0. brown.

there's an article in the atlantic called the patriot — on how general milley protected the constitution from donald trump. that has spurred our interview this evening. we are going to talk to a man who commonly is referred to as his mentor, he is the retired three star lieutenant generaljames do pick. i think we can glean now that the statements given by general mary... how do you think history will remember him? mary. .. how do you think history will remember him?— mary... how do you think history will remember him? thank you for havin: will remember him? thank you for having me. _ will remember him? thank you for having me. i _ will remember him? thank you for having me, i think— will remember him? thank you for having me, i think he _ will remember him? thank you for having me, i think he will- will remember him? thank you for having me, i think he will be - having me, i think he will be remembered as one of the most significant chairman says the creation of the position. he has faced problems that very few other, if any, chairman has faced, and i think did admirably ifany, chairman has faced, and i think did admirably in if any, chairman has faced, and i think did admirably in the performance of his duty. 2c!

reality is, the risks involved in using force, the realities and risks of any other decision and action. and he used his voice well on behalf of the american people. and he represented the institution of the united states military, i think, very well. united states military, i think, ve well. united states military, i think, very well-— united states military, i think, ve well. ., , ., . very well. there was one incident when he got _ very well. there was one incident when he got dragged _ very well. there was one incident when he got dragged into - very well. there was one incident when he got dragged into the - when he got dragged into the political fry and that is the moment he was pictured in fatigues walking outside of the white house alongside donald trump at a time when the president was advocating dealing —— using martial law to against the black life matters protest. i should not have been there. my presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics. as a commissioned uniformed officer, it was a mistake that i have learned from.

was that an awakening for him? i think it shows the strength of his character. she saw his mistake and killed himself out in the apology and then corrected himself never to do that again. what more do you want out of a leader? a leader that can learn that kind of lesson, and to be that self—critical. in learn that kind of lesson, and to be that self-critical.— that self-critical. in the aftermath ofthe that self-critical. in the aftermath of the 2020 _ that self-critical. in the aftermath of the 2020 election, _ that self-critical. in the aftermath of the 2020 election, he - that self-critical. in the aftermath of the 2020 election, he went - that self-critical. in the aftermath of the 2020 election, he went to i of the 2020 election, he went to visit the nuclear installations whether nuclear weapons are kept in the united states and there is a line in the atlantic article that he had never actually seen them before, i guess many people in the military hadn't seen them before. but he was sufficiently concerned that the process was in place to stop a commander—in—chief in the future from launching them without other people being online. do you think in the wake of what happened that system is more rigorous than it was? well, again, from my standpoint, it

againjust shows notjust well, again, from my standpoint, it again just shows notjust his character in this case but also his competence as a leader. he was to go down to see for himself, he was to go down and talk to those airmen that were responsible for executing orders that they may have received. he was to make sure that the procedures and the processes he has put in place are understood by all. and this is an example of his baroness as a leader, and another example of his willingness to face hard issues head on. i example of his willingness to face hard issues head on.— hard issues head on. i have heard him speak — hard issues head on. i have heard him speak and — hard issues head on. i have heard him speak and clearly _ hard issues head on. i have heard him speak and clearly he - hard issues head on. i have heard him speak and clearly he is - hard issues head on. i have heard him speak and clearly he is a - hard issues head on. i have heard him speak and clearly he is a very intelligent man, a scholar, actually, of war and how wars are fought, and it is notjust the four stars on his shoulder that indicate or have guided the decision that he makes. do you think his views and

his opinions on ukraine in a state of the war in ukraine have been maybe not ignored but pushed to the side because they weren't politically convenient? i side because they weren't politically convenient? i don't know the exact answer— politically convenient? i don't know the exact answer to _ politically convenient? i don't know the exact answer to that _ politically convenient? i don't know the exact answer to that but - politically convenient? i don't know the exact answer to that but from l politically convenient? i don't know l the exact answer to that but from my standpoint and reading and knowing what i know, i think the answer is likely to be now. i don't think his ideas were pushed aside, they were considered appropriately in the decision—making process. iam considered appropriately in the decision—making process. i am sure he pushed his opinions in the correct way, in the correct forms. and then when a decision was made, he executed that decision to the best of his ability. but execution, i think, also includes coming back to the final decision authorities, secretary of defence of president, and saying, hey, look, mr president, we made this decision, we executed this decision and it is not working out the weight we want so let's adapt it. —— the way we want. the

whole position of the united states, i think, is a precarious one, in the sense that we want to support ukraine to the maximum possible without widening or escalating the war. that is a tough line to walk, i think he has walked that line very well on behalf of executing the president's and secretary's decisions.— president's and secretary's decisions. , , ., decisions. very interesting, we are . rateful decisions. very interesting, we are grateful for — decisions. very interesting, we are grateful for your _ decisions. very interesting, we are grateful for your time _ decisions. very interesting, we are grateful for your time this - decisions. very interesting, we are| grateful for your time this evening, thank you. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. the first stop forjoe riley and her trusty e—bike is a restaurant at the top of st ives. joe is the lead volunteer on a compost project collecting brought food waste from businesses and delivering it to a

local orchard, all via pedal power. for me, feed waste is a valuable resource and it doesn't make sense to use the resources to take it somewhere else to be composted if we are going to buy back and use it here so we save resources by keeping it local, and itjust makes sense to keep this with a valuable resource here in the community. it is keep this with a valuable resource here in the community.— here in the community. it is then 'ust a here in the community. it is then just a few — here in the community. it is then just a few more _ here in the community. it is then just a few more hills _ here in the community. it is then just a few more hills to _ here in the community. it is then just a few more hills to the - just a few more hills to the community orchard whether volunteers are very grateful to be filling the compost bins with the apple tree fruit and veg gardens. there was another a bike available and a call for more volunteers and i hope that enough compost can be made at the orchard to offer back to the community. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. it was two years ago that a new study by a uk cybersecurity and privacy watchdog, comparitech, found that china was the world's worst offender for what it called widespread and invasive biometric data collection —

that was out of 96 countries it studied. the chinese government aspires to build the world's largest police—run dna data base. china announced plans to become the world's leader in biotechnology by 2035, and it regards genetic information, if it wins the technology race, china stands to gain significant economic and strategic leverage against its rivals. us intelligence is warning about the dangers of this effort to collect the human genetic data from all around the world. let's speak to joby warrick, a journalist at the washington post. why does china want to become the biotech leader in the world? weill. biotech leader in the world? well, the are biotech leader in the world? well, they are making — biotech leader in the world? well, they are making no _ biotech leader in the world? well, they are making no secret - biotech leader in the world? well, they are making no secret of - biotech leader in the world? -ii they are making no secret of their intentions and their intention is to become the leader of what is really a scientific revolution, much like the computer revolution, the future of biotechnology surrounds the knowledge of human genomes, the

billions of base pairs that go into the genes of human being. if you can acquire a lot of that information from many people, you have the computer power to process that information, you can do all kinds of things with it. you can create new medicines and new couriers and tackle diseases that are hereditary that have been considered incurable for years, that have been considered incurable foryears, but that have been considered incurable for years, but there are also not so good things that can be done with it, but in any case, china is positioning itself to become the world leader in that field and they are trying their best to get dna information from as many people as they can, from as many places as they can, from as many places as they can, from as many places as they can, and securities establishments around the world, including in us and europe, are rightly concerned about it. and including in us and europe, are rightly concerned about it. and your investigation _ rightly concerned about it. and your investigation published _ rightly concerned about it. and your investigation published today - rightly concerned about it. and your investigation published today found | investigation published today found they have made huge strides forward during the pandemic?— during the pandemic? exactly. in fact, in during the pandemic? exactly. in fact. in some _ during the pandemic? exactly. in fact, in some really _ during the pandemic? exactly. in fact, in some really curious - during the pandemic? exactly. in| fact, in some really curious ways. very soon after the pandemic was discovered, after this new virus was discovered, after this new virus was discovered, the chinese were at the

gate with testing kits and also it is very unusual lavatories, temporary testing facilities that they were giving away by the dozens and then by the schools to countries around the world, four different continents ended up getting these machines, and they are called fire i labs, they look like giant inflatable moon bouncers with all this lab gear inside, they can test for covid for sure but they also had the possibility to test the human genome, and what we have seen since covid started was that some of these many lads sent around the world have been repurposed the genetic testing, we have looked at one in serbia, for example, that is now a full—time permanent gene testing facility that will try to decipher the entire genomes of human beings. the serbians are delighted to have it but from the chinese point of view, this is a way to create relationships and partnerships that could eventually bring them the kind of information they're looking as

bite out of the break. the weather has felt decidedly cool today. we've had some pretty heavy showers out there, some sunny spells, too. but as those showers fade to leave largely clear skies overnight, it is going to turn really quite chilly. then through the weekend, temperatures will rise as some outbreaks of rain and some strong winds arrive, particularly towards the north—west of the uk. the reason for all of that, this swirl of cloud. this was a hurricane, hurricane nigel. not a hurricane any more, but it is going to bring an injection of moisture into this deep area of low pressure. that will swell to the north—west of us, throwing outbreaks of rain and strong winds into northern and western parts, but also bringing us a southerly wind, drawing up some warmer air from the south. but in the short—term, still this north or north—westerly wind, a rather cool feel to proceedings. a few showers around overnight, but most places will be dry with clear skies. a few mist and fog patches around even in some of the big towns and cities. we'll see temperatures of 4—8 degrees out in the countryside.

in northern scotland, i think quite easily just below freezing. tomorrow, then, some good spells of sunshine to start off. that sunshine turning increasingly hazy from the west, and then some thicker cloud rolling into south—west england, wales and northern ireland with a little bit of rain late in the day. the winds starting to strengthen as well. those winds starting to come up from the south, but still actually quite a cool—feeling day. 12—18 degrees for most of us. through saturday evening and overnight, it's this wriggling weather front really sets in across northern and western parts. some outbreaks of heavy rain just pulsing along that frontal system. so on sunday, expect some really intense downpours for parts of wales, north—west england, northern ireland and most especially to the western side of scotland. a bit of rain into the south—west of england later in the day. further south and east, some sunshine and some warmth. temperatures into the low 20s celsius, but the winds really will be picking up. we'll see some very gusty conditions for coasts and hills in the west, gusts of 50 to possibly 60 mph. and through sunday night,

more very heavy rain, perhaps most especially across the western side of scotland. there could be enough rain here to cause some localised flooding and some travel disruption. and then into next week, it looks very autumnal. showers or longer spells of rain, some brisk winds. the best chance of any lengthy dry spells down towards the south.

hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. we are also focused on strengthening ukraine's air defence capabilities to protect the critical infrastructure that provides heat and light during the coldest in the darkest days of the year. that includes providing the second hawk air defence battery with steady deliveries of additional hawk and other systems each month through the winter. whenever you played sports, did you quit before _ whenever you played sports, did you quit before the game is over? i think_ quit before the game is over? i think this — quit before the game is over? i think this is one of the most significant change and that is what we are _ significant change and that is what we are going through right now. i am

going _ we are going through right now. i am going to _ we are going through right now. i am going to stay with it. eight days until the american government runs out of money — and instead of working through the weekend to pass a spending bill — the lawmakers are heading home. a government shutdown more likely than ever. the last one cost the us economy $11 billion. so is there any solution in sight. with us to discuss it tonight a man who served as acting chief of staff in the trump white house, mick mulvaney, and also here commentator and former political advisor to the labour party aisha azerika. the one thing our two governments have in common, debt. the chancellor said today is its virtually impossible to cut taxes until the economy improves. so what does that mean for the big white elephant, that is hs2. us media is tonight reporting

president biden has informed his ukrainian counterpart that washington will provide
