it's sunday the 24th of september. a decision on the future of the northern section of the hs2 rail line is expected to be made this week by the government. the prime minister is under mounting pressure to clarify if the birmingham to manchester leg will be completed after reports it could be scrapped due to spiralling costs. here's our business reporter noor nanji. it isa it is a mammoth project aimed at creating more capacity and speeding up creating more capacity and speeding up journey times. creating more capacity and speeding upjourney times. but creating more capacity and speeding up journey times. but hs2 creating more capacity and speeding upjourney times. but hs2 has creating more capacity and speeding up journey times. but hs2 has also been plagued by delays, cuts, and spiralling gusts. earlier this year the government said it was pausing work on the new central london terminus at euston. recently prime minister rishi sunak and chance of a jeremy hunt have not been willing to say they are committed to hs2 being built to manchester, costing fresh doubts over the future of the project. i doubts over the future of the ro'ect. ., , ., project. i hope the government doesnt project. i hope the government doesn't continue _ project. i hope the government doesn't continue to _ project. i hope the government doesn't continue to reconsider. j project. i hope the government - doesn't continue to reconsider. but the other side of the story is the government needs to get behind this project, when they have firmly decided that it is affordable, get

the news with ben. _ a number of metropolitan police officers are stepping back from firearms duties after a marksman was charged with the murder of chris kaba in south london last year. our reporter simonjones is at new scotland yard this morning. simon, what's prompted this response? it was just over a year ago that chris kaba was driving in south london. he was stopped by the police in the moments that followed being shot and the head through the windscreen by an armed metropolitan police officer. it turned out that chris kaba was not armed. the vehicle he was in didn't belong to him. but the met said it had been linked to a guns incident on the previous day. on wednesday the crown prosecution service took the decision to charge the met police officer who shot chris kaba with murder. he appeared in court on thursday. we can't blame him for legal reasons but ever since the met says there has been growing concern

amongst other firearms officers about the implications of the court case. they said that officers are concerned that the decision to bring this charge may bring changes to the way that they are making decisions in a split second, due to how there could bejust in in a split second, due to how there could be just in future. we in a split second, due to how there could bejust in future. we know in a split second, due to how there could be just in future. we know the met commissioner has been holding meetings with those concerned offices. awareness and 100 officers from the met have handed in what is cold the ticket — basically their right to carry arms. it gives them a moment to pause and reflect on their future. but because of the number that have decided to step back the met has been forced to bring in a small number of officers from other forces around the country to continue with firearms duties. simon, for now, thank you. simon jones live outside new scotland yard. the first buses in england to be under public ownership since the 19805 will leave depots in greater manchester this morning. the bee network promises to bring cheaper travel and a more reliable

public transport system to communities. services will be run by private companies but the local authority will set the fares, timetables and routes. the us hurricane centre has downgraded tropical storm ophelia, which made landfall on the coast of north carolina yesterday. nearly eight million people from new york to south carolina were warned about high winds and possible flooding. power cuts affected around 70,000 homes and businesses. the liberal democrats have kicked off their party's autumn conference in bournemouth with a number of spending pledges, including a care package worth £5 billion a year. our political correspondent peter saull is there. peter, what can we expect on day two? good morning from a very, very windy bournemouth. we have the back end of hurricane nigel on the south coast this morning. but an important day, the conference, as they prove a pre—

manifesto document. they said the nhs will be at the heart of their offering when we get to the general election, sometime probably in the next 12 months or so. the key pledges that everybody will be able to see a gp within seven days. last night at the conference centre there was a rally designed to rally the troops stop we saw recent mps, the recent successes that liberal democrats have had in conservative strongholds. a candidate turned up on stage at one point wearing a wetsuit to highlight the problem of sewage and water quality. we also heard from celebrities including steve coogan, backing the liberal democrats, a long—standing policy to changes to the voting system — was specifically proportional presentation. the liberal democrats have been splashing cash, announcing plans and social care and parental pat’- plans and social care and parental pay. but it may not be entirely harmonious today. they could be amendments tabled to that pre—

manifesto document before it is voted on later today. i think one thing that members would like to see as stronger stance on is brexit. lots of people wearing rejoin stickers at the conference. thank ou stickers at the conference. thank you peter- _ in just a few hours' time, a capsule containing samples from what scientists say is the most dangerous asteroid in the solar system will land in the utah desert. it's a culmination of a seven—year mission and could answer some of the biggest questions about how life began. here's our science editor rebecca morelle. after an epicjourney after an epic journey through after an epicjourney through the solar system, after an epicjourney through the solarsystem, nasa's after an epicjourney through the solar system, nasa's capsule carrying a precious sample of an asteroid is set for a perilous return to earth. it was been through the atmosphere at more than 27,000 miles an hour, eating up to a scorching 3000 degrees before parachutes open to bring it safely down to the ground. for the osiris—rex mission team it is a

the hope is this small but invaluable sample will shed light on the story of our solar system and answer some of the biggest questions we have. rebecca morelle, bbc news, utah. incredible, isn't it. the gases from such a tiny amount of material. funny because were talking about the summer they will get 250g funny because were talking about the summer they will get 250 g of material and i did think that sounded like a lot but i was told that was so much information from 250 g because previous missions have just got a few grams here or there. they have 250 g to analyse and explore. it they have 250 g to analyse and exlore. , ,., they have 250 g to analyse and exlore. , , , explore. it is so densely packed into it. explore. it is so densely packed into it- and _ explore. it is so densely packed into it. and the _ explore. it is so densely packed into it. and the smash - explore. it is so densely packed into it. and the smash and - explore. it is so densely packed into it. and the smash and grabj explore. it is so densely packed - into it. and the smash and grab grab - ou see into it. and the smash and grab grab - you see the _ into it. and the smash and grab grab - you see the probe _ into it. and the smash and grab grab - you see the probe landing, - — you see the probe landing, grabbing the stuff then taking off again, but the asteroid itself is absolutely huge. as rebecca said, taller than the empire state building, abouta taller than the empire state building, about a third bigger than the eiffel tower. this thing is huge. and one of them was dangerous because of the risk of it actually crashing into earth. it will pass by

it is simply scandalous and i'm fairly certain that that's exactly why this has become a huge political issue, because normal people, how could you not be affronted, how could you not be affronted, how could you not be affronted, how could you not be filled with anything but a deep, righteous furious anger that you put your trust in the system, you bring your children to beaches like this on a bank holiday monday, only to discover those children were swimming in somebody else's waste. i swimming in somebody else's waste. i flipped to 34 years and pinkerton is 'ust flipped to 34 years and pinkerton is just down— flipped to 34 years and pinkerton is just down the road from us and that is the _ just down the road from us and that is the busiest tipping point in all —— tankerton. when you see this, it doesn't _ —— tankerton. when you see this, it doesn't happen all the time, but you see the _ doesn't happen all the time, but you see the colour of the ocean changing and you _ see the colour of the ocean changing and you see — see the colour of the ocean changing and you see the stuff coming in towards — and you see the stuff coming in towards the shore, it makes you want towards the shore, it makes you want to throw— towards the shore, it makes you want to throw up~ _ towards the shore, it makes you want to throw up. it is towards the shore, it makes you want to throw lip-— to throw up. it is a horrible. sewaue to throw up. it is a horrible. sewage releases _ to throw up. it is a horrible. sewage releases are - to throw up. it is a horrible. sewage releases are not. to throw up. it is a horrible. | sewage releases are notjust to throw up. it is a horrible. i sewage releases are notjust a problem here in kent. this is a nationwide issue. the government has faced ongoing criticism from

been waiting for. cheering and applause. a parisian party for ireland's fans. the world number ones facing the world champions, south africa, with no little confidence. come on, boys! tonight's the night, come on! the players emerged to an exhilarating atmosphere and it was south africa that soon struck — a penalty from manie libbok. but at the end of an often bruising first half, ireland hit back... he gets it out! it is a try! mack hansen scurrying over and his team led 7—3 at the break. but just after it, it was south africa's turn to dazzle, cheslin kolbe brilliantly putting the springboks back in front. two penalties, though, from johnny sexton and jack crowley put ireland in sight of victory and amid the tensest of finishes, they held on. end of the game! some win for ireland, some celebrations, and some statement.

for the thousands of ireland fans here, what a night to remember. there is still a long way to go but they proved once again that they other to beat. —— that they are the team to beat. earlier, england had faced chile, led by the returning owen farrell but inspired by the dashing henry arundell. the 20—year—old opened the scoring — and that was just the start as england ran riot, marcus smith with the pick of their 11 tries. marcus smith! and, remarkably, arundell ended up with five of them — a stunning individual feat. and it is henry v! and for england, the quarterfinals now surely beckon. andy swiss, bbc news. good wins for ireland and for england. saturday nearly brought a huge moment of history but portugal fell just short of getting their first ever world cup win. having fought back from 13—0 down, portugal were tied at 18—18 against georgia when they got a last—minute penalty but they couldn't score and so, the match finished level — a result that doesn't really help either side in their quest to qualify for the knockout stages.

tonight, there's another mammoth match at the world cup, when wales face australia. victory for the welsh would put them into the quaterfinals whilst defeat would put the wallabies out. the stakes couldn't be higher for australia but wales head coach warren gatland says his side have to focus on themselves, having not played their best rugby so far. what i am not happy about at the moment is putting some pride in the welshjersey but it moment is putting some pride in the welsh jersey but it does not take long to lose it, you know, and i don't think that we had the respect of the rugby welding terms of performance and results and, you know, that has been a thing —— a big objective of ours over the last few months. before that, only a win for scotland will keep alive their hopes of going beyond the pool stages. they face tonga in nice. it's two weeks since scotland's last match — a defeat to south africa — but has the break been good for them? for the players, probably not. after

a defeat, you want to get back and play straightaway. for us as coaches, maybe. we have been able to train hard, we have had social time with ourfamilies and train hard, we have had social time with our families and we feel we are further ahead, with our families and we feel we are furtherahead, having with our families and we feel we are further ahead, having those moments on and off the field to really attack these next three games in the pool away from the world cup, manchester united halted their run of three defeats with a 1—0 victory at burnley in the premier league, and what a goal to win it. jonny evans making his first start since returning to united, setting up captain bruno fernandes with that volley — the only goal of the game. it eases the pressure that was building on manager erik ten hag, moving them up to eighth in the table. united's rivals manchester city remain the only team with a 100% record as they made it six wins from six. they beat nottingham forest 2—0. phil foden with city's opener — his first of the season. erling haaland got the other. city had to play all of the second

half with ten men after rodri was sent off but forest couldn't find a way through. scottish premiership leaders celtic had joe hart sent off but still managed to win 3—0 at livingston. they were already 1—0 up when their goalkeeper was dismissed for a professionalfoul but two further goals, including this for daizen maeda, keeps brendan rodgers' side top of the table. northern ireland kicked off their women's nations league campaign with a 3—0 defeat to the republic of ireland in dublin. lucy quinn put the republic ahead before a mix up between defender and keeper left kyra carusa with a simple task. lily agg added another late on. on tuesday, northern ireland host albania whilst the republic visit hungary. all saturday's football results are on the bbc sport website. with the cricket world cup less than two weeks away, defending champions england fielded a second—string team in their victory over ireland. it wasn't a good day at the crease for first—time captain zak crawley, who fell for a second ball duck here.

player of the match willjacks hit four sixes as he just missed out on a century at trent bridge. england went on to bowl ireland out and win by 48 runs. team europe and usa will resume in the solheim cup today level at 8—8 as the competition comes to a close in spain this afternoon with the final 12 singles matches. europe, remember, were 4—0 down after the first session of play on friday but since then, they have fought back. they won three of the four afternoon four balls matches in andalucia and have the momentum going the singles, which get going later this morning. you just need a little bit of a slap in the face and then you know where to go and you get back to square one and then you start over, which is what we did. i'm proud of everyone on the team for picking ourselves up, picking each other up. at no stage has there been like a down mood. there has been no disbelief from the team, even after the 4—0.

so yes, just plodding away. and it was meant to be the night thatjoejoyce got his career back on track but instead, he wakes up this morning with his hopes of challenging to become the heavyweight champion of the world all but over. joyce was beaten by china's zhilei zhang in their rematch in london last night — zhang knocking joyce out in just the third round — meaning he retains the wbo interim title and stays as the mandatory challenger to heavyweight champion oleksandr usyk. a note to forget forjoejoyce. thank you. speak to you a note to forget forjoe joyce. thank you. speak to you later. —— night. in august, there was a record number of videos being submitted as tamsin melville reports. the footage can be shocking. all

taste different! different, yes! i'm a content maker, activist and broadcaster. hi, guys. this is my first blind vlog. ten years ago, i lost my eyesight and since then, i've been on a mission to prove that having a disability doesn't have to hold me back. i've come a long way learning to live with sight loss... hello, sweetheart. good girl. ..but i've never been this far away from home. it's just hit me like a ton of bricks that it's actually really hard being in a new place when you can't see it. in this first episode... the ferry�*s about to depart! i discover a new sense of hope in hiroshima. i i discover a new sense of hope in hiroshima-—

hiroshima. i believe this 'ourney that i'm about i hiroshima. i believe this 'ourney that i'm about to i hiroshima. i believe this journey that i'm about to embark - hiroshima. i believe this journey that i'm about to embark on i hiroshima. i believe this journey that i'm about to embark on is l hiroshima. i believe this journey i that i'm about to embark on is going to be one of the best my lifetime. this is japan, the way i see it. i am kicking off the second leg of my journey leg of myjourney in tokyo,. being the biggest city in the world, there are definitely sirens around. people injapan are so techie, and it's really cool. and for me, i think tech really does help me when i'm travelling as a blind person. it allows me to have a much more fulfilling experience. i think when you first go blind, you rip up the rule book of anything you've learned. you know, the sighted world doesn't apply. so making toast and buttering

it is a massive achievement. those little wins that i had were just so amazing. and i want them here injapan. i walked up to the vending machine, had high hopes that i could take a picture with my ai app, and it lets me know everything that's in front of me. i love the fact that it can translate japanese. it says, "the picture you sent was a vending machine "located on a street." it's telling me i'm in tokyo. there's fanta and coca—cola. because i'm not used to vending machines in this country. i'm used to the set—up being really different. 0k. that is where the drinks come out of. how much is the coca—cola, question mark? 130 yen, right. what button do i press?

"in the picture, the coca—cola is second row from the top. "third button from the left." "give it money." it's not talking. two, three. ok — yay! i've got something, and it's dinging at me. 0h, 0k. this doesn't feel like coca—cola. what's this drink, question mark? ooh, it's a latte! why not? i don't care, i've got a drink. never had a latte in a bottle. that is so good. i would've went with that, to be fair. i can't believe i'm standing on a street in tokyo, and i've just managed to get myself a drink independently. that achievement will stay with me for the rest of my life.

i haven't been able to do that for ten years, since i lost my vision. so, yeah, ifeel quite emotional, and i love this latte. guys, was there actually coke in the vending machine? producer: no. ai has completely changed the game for me. at first, i was quite freaked out that a computer could tell me what a sighted guide could tell me. but now i think it's so cool. i'm going to meet an extraordinary inventor who's pioneering tech for accessibility. nice to meet you. hi, lucy, nice to meet you. dr chieko asakawa is developing what could become the world's first robot guide dog. oh, my gosh, is it a navigation tool? is it like a different aid, other than a long white cane? yes, yes. oh, brilliant! a mobile phone app is used to programme a destination

into the suitcase, which plans a route and directs the user. just hold the handle — not too tight. which button? ai voice: resume navigation. yeah, resume navigation. just hold. 0h! ok, bye. bye! i've never been guided by an ai before, this is so cool! ai voice: push the elevator button on your front. .. i push the elevator button on your front left. no way — no way! it's moving me round the lift! we're going down. go! it's not a guide dog. forward ! no, door�*s not closing! no, suitcase!

ok, i'm out the lift — go! faster, faster, faster, faster, faster. i think he's possibly going slow because there's loads of stuff around me. he's just being careful. he cares about my wellbeing. come on, robot, you can do it. there's amazing people out there developing al to change the lives of our community. and now ai is allowing me to see the world again. this is so cool. i know i keep saying that, but it's just insane. you have arrived at i exhibition number one — how your body is made. hi, lucy. hello, i made it! why was it your mission, when it wasn't anyone else's, to make the world accessible? it was my first priority to be independent. i didn't want to give up anything because i cannot see. you might think your options, choices are limited compared to sighted people, but that's when you take a fresh approach,

act, and never give up. it will lead to chances you never imagined. i, for so long, felt that i couldn't really have a lot of hope, because i never believed that the world would ever accept me for who i am any more. and when you have to grow up overnight and you don't have any vision any more, that really does shape your view of the world. my time in tokyo has come to an end, and i am on the move again. i have to ration my energy levels when i'm in a new place. understanding and navigating that environment, and then, trying to hear all of the different sounds around me, that is so overwhelming.

whoa... may i help you? is that 0k? that would be amazing. i think there's like... i was always telling myself, "i've got to be independent." and then independence became a really, like, negative word. in here? in there, yes, put in there. 0k. and then i realised that, you know, everyone on earth relies on someone. yeah, thank you — thank you so much. your train departing from track number 19. 19? 19. hiroshima. thank you so much. thank you. have a nice day. you too. in some ways, i feel much more confident coming through tokyo station because of the tactile paving. it is absolutely incredible. no matter how many people went in front of me, behind me, i had my line

and i had a sense of direction. i always say that i live in a sighted world that isn't made for me. and i'm in a city that accepts blindness so much. voice breaks: and i can't quite let myself believe... ..that i'll ever be truly accepted. but it feels like it here. feeling quite low—energy, to be honest. and i think i was so elated about getting on the train,

the shinkansen, and feeling happy about the platform being accessible, it'sjust hit me like a ton of bricks that i'm now going to a new place and have to learn a new hotel room and a new environment. it's actually really hard, being in a new place when you can't see it. i've taken the bullet train from tokyo about 500 miles to hiroshima. it's impossible to come here without acknowledging its past. gong clangs. but first, i'm going to stay overnight in a buddhist temple on the outskirts of the city. the majority of japanese people are buddhist, so i want to understand what i can learn from this religion's teachings. good afternoon. konnichiwa!

welcome to the kokubunji accommodation. oh, thank you for having me — i'm lucy. my host is shoko, the wife of the head monk. together, they run the temple. can i take your arm? mm—hm, yes. lovely. watch the steps. 0k. when i first heard that i was going to a buddhist temple, i was like, "am i going to sleep "on the floor? "am i going to be able to plug in my straighteners?" but then the innerjournalist within me was like, "you know, "can you be a buddhist monk if you've lost your eyesight?" hi, lucy, thank you very much for waiting. the temple for me is somewhere that you can really be with nature. i love that i can hear so much of the wilderness because it is in such a remote destination. have you ever slept in a futon before? no. 0h! it's the first time! yeah! oh, i love it!

perfect. perfect! it's 5am. i slept so well on this futon, it's so nice. i'm getting ready for my 6pm meditation. —— i'm getting ready for my 6am meditation. i realised i've hardly opened my eyes. good morning. bell clangs. monks chant.

i went to listen to the monks' morning service, and the chanting really does relax you to the core. bells chime. gong clangs. speaks japanese. it's something about being in fight—or—flight all the time, and having a stress response to different environments around me.

i feel like it really centred my nervous system. thank you, arigato. this has definitely helped with my sensory overload of being in a new country and experiencing different things because, at the end of the day, i am just relying mainly on my hearing, so coming here, it's like a reset button for me. thank you so much for preparing this. i'm so excited to try it all. itadakimasu! first time using chopsticks! 0k... ok, like that. i'm a chopstick novice. ijust could not get the hang of them. no! chuckles. but i was pleased because i've

been taught by a monk. i got a little grain then! i actually felt really proud that i was eating with them. i was very slow, but i'm going to use them at home. i'm a very confident person but i don't believe that my hope is still shining in the same way that it did before i lost my vision. i still do see hope as a glass half—empty, rather than half—full. i think this self—exploration injapan is teaching me a different way to view hope

and acceptance of myself. is buddhism accepting of disability in — you know, just being in this temple, i feel like it is. it's my last day, and i've come to meet mariko higashino in hiroshima peace park. ever since i learned about the disaster there, i felt compelled to find out about how people from the blast and the families that have followed actually deal with the aftermath of that.

nice to meet you, lucy! konnichiwa! konnichiwa. could you audio describe where we are, mariko? mariko's mother and grandmother lived in hiroshima at the time of the bombing, and mariko has been sharing their story with the world.

wow. i'm so sorry.

is it this here as well? they were so young. they were the same age as me when i lost my eyesight. 0h... stifles sobs. there's so many names.

does it keep going? sobs. yeah. oh, my god — i didn't know it was this big. thank you for showing me. even though i've lost one of my main senses, they didn't have the chance to start again and to figure out what their future was. you know, i owe it to them to have a future that is bright. oh, ok — to there? mm—hm, hold there — press? oh, wow! giggles. meeting mariko—san and learning about her family story

and history... is this the symbol of hope? ..made me believe that you can have a massive trauma in your life and still — and still have hope. meeting everyone that i've met on this trip has been a true blessing. go! yeah. squeals. i can't wait to take a new sense of hope back home. i'm going to remember what the monk has taught me, how to meditate, understand that being with nature is one of the best things you can do for your mental health. understanding that hope comes,

even from the darkest of times — mariko taught me that. and... woman calls out in japanese. ..a tactile experience is a beautiful one. sighted experiences don't have to always come first.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and me, luxmy gopal. good morning. our headlines at 7am: a final decision on hs2 to manchester is expected this week. the prime minister is under yet more pressure to confirm if the route will go ahead. a number of met police officers step back from firearms duties, after one of their colleagues is charged with the murder of 24—year—old chris kaba. good morning. a night to remember for ireland at the rugby world cup. time on the board. end the game. as they beat the defending champions south africa in a statement win in paris. a nasa mission to collect debris

here's our business reporter noor nanji. it's a mammoth project aimed at creating more capacity and speeding up journey times. but hs2 has also been plagued by delays, cuts, and spiralling gusts. earlier this year, the government said it was pausing work on the new central london terminus at euston. recently, prime minister rishi sunak and chancellorjeremy hunt have not been willing to say they are committed to hs2 being built to manchester, casting fresh doubts over the future of the project. i hope the government does continue to reconsider. but the other side of the story is the government needs to get behind this project. when they've firmly decided that it's affordable, get behind it. in a letter organised by the rail industry, the leaders of 21 firms warn that constant changes to an infrastructure project add to perceptions of risk of the uk as a place of business. they say cutting the line

to manchester will have implications for the uk economy, and urged the prime minister to reaffirm the commitment to the hs2 phase two from manchester to euston in full, to deliver the widespread economic benefits already being delivered. mayor sadiq khan is ready confirmed that trains are running from manchester to birmingham is deeply worrying. he says it would cause a ridiculous situation where it takes longer to get from birmingham to central london on hs2 than on existing trains. a government spokesperson said the hs2 project is already well under way with spades in the ground. noor nanji, bbc news. let's get more on this now with our political correspondent jessica parker. good morning jess. when are we expecting to hear the government's decision on this? this expecting to hear the government's decision on this?— decision on this? as we have been reflecting, — decision on this? as we have been reflecting, speculation _ decision on this? as we have been reflecting, speculation on - decision on this? as we have been reflecting, speculation on this i decision on this? as we have been reflecting, speculation on this has| reflecting, speculation on this has been building and building as downing street has refused to explicitly back the idea of a

birmingham to manchester leg of hs2. what we're hearing is you could see a crunch meeting between the prime minister and chancellor this week at a final decision potentially as well. chancellorjeremy hunt dropped what seemed to be many a heavy—handed that it could be the end of the line thought this leg of the h52 end of the line thought this leg of the hs2 project, saying that costs had been spiralling out of control. but if they decide to scrap it, it will be a controversial decision. we have been hearing the former conservative prime minister boris johnson warning against a mutilation of the line. the london labour mayor sadiq khan says it would be squandering a huge economic opportunity. but there will be people including within the conservative party who will welcome the idea, who will think that the vast sums of money set aside for hs2 can be spent better elsewhere, including on local infrastructure projects. i think politically for rishi sunak, the prime minister, it

is interesting. be honestly made a big announcement recently on delaying some green targets. this would be another decision showing that he wants to raise his head at the moment above the political parapet. jess, thank you. our political correspondentjessica parker there. that's go do some more news with ben. —— let's. a number of metropolitan police officers are stepping back from firearms duties, after a marksman was charged with the murder of chris kaba in south london last year. our reporter simonjones is at new scotland yard this morrning. simon, do we know what is behind the decision? just simon, do we know what is behind the decision? , :, :, , :, :, :, , decision? just over a year ago chris kaba was driving _ decision? just over a year ago chris kaba was driving in _ decision? just over a year ago chris kaba was driving in south _ decision? just over a year ago chris kaba was driving in south london i kaba was driving in south london when stopped by the police. in the moments that followed he was shot in the head by a met police firearms officer. it turned out that chris kaba didn't have a gun and the car he was in didn't actually belong to him. the police believed it had been linked to a firearms incident the day before. earlier this week the

firearms officer who fired at chris kaba was charged with murder and appeared in court. we can't name him for legal reasons, but ever since, there has been growing concern amongst firearms officers here in london about the implications of that but a judge. we know the commissioner has been meeting with firearms teams who fear that there will be a shift in the way the decisions they make in a split second under huge pressure i going to bejudged in the second under huge pressure i going to be judged in the future. second under huge pressure i going to bejudged in the future. despite those meetings we understand that more than 100 firearms officers here in london have decided temporarily to step back from their duties. that will mean they will have a pause to reflect, and give them some time to consider theirfuture. reflect, and give them some time to considertheirfuture. but reflect, and give them some time to consider their future. but that creates some problems for the met in terms of fulfilling their firearms rotor. they had to draft in offices from other parts of the country to fill those roles. we are told it is a small number of officers and the

vast majority on the streets of london will still be provided by the met. but the met says ensuring the safety of the public is the number one priority. safety of the public is the number one priority-— thank you. the first buses in england to be under public ownership since the 19805 will leave depots in greater manchester this morning. the bee network promises to bring cheaper travel and a more reliable public transport system to communities. services will be run by private companies, but the local authority will set the fares, timetables and routes. the us hurricane centre has downgraded tropical storm ophelia, which made landfall on the coast of north carolina yesterday. nearly eight million people from new york to south carolina were warned about high winds and possible flooding. power cuts affected around 70,000 homes and businesses. the liberal democrats have kicked off their party's autumn conference in bournemouth with a number of spending pledges — including a care package worth £5 billion a year. our political correspondent, peter saull is there. peter, what can

we expect on day two? we had announcements yesterday. after what was a pretty serene opening day to party conferences under blue skies in bournemouth the wind and rain, as you can see, is now rolling in off the english channel. it is a pretty big day in terms of decisions for the liberal democrats. laterthis terms of decisions for the liberal democrats. later this afternoon there will be a series of votes on will effectively be a draft of the manifesto they will take to the general election. the issue they really want to talk about above everything else is the national health service and the big pledges that no—one will have to wait any more than seven days to see a gp. but last night in the main auditorium here at the conference centre there was a big rally. we had from newly elected liberal democrat mps, some fresh faced general election candidates, including one who turned up on stage in a wetsuit

to highlight the problems with sewage on our coastlines. also some celebrity appearances by video link, steve coogan and carol vorderman, backin steve coogan and carol vorderman, back in the long—time liberal democrat campaign the voting system. all that went down pretty well, but there might be some differences of opinion today. they could be some amendments tabled to the pre— manifesto document. watch out for potential arguments on brexit. lots of activists wearing rejoin stickers. that isn't the party policy at the moment. but stickers. that isn't the party policy at the moment. but for now, that is of the _ policy at the moment. but for now, that is of the table. _ policy at the moment. but for now, that is of the table. peter, - policy at the moment. but for now, that is of the table. peter, go i policy at the moment. but for now, that is of the table. peter, go get l that is of the table. peter, go get warm and dry. get out of the wind. it does look while down there. we will get a full round—up of what to expect in the weather. louise will have the details in a second. but just trying to butjust trying to tell you that later today a capsule containing samples from what scientists say is the most dangerous asteroid in the

solar system will land in the utah desert. it's a culmination of a seven—year mission and could answer some of the biggest questions about how life began. here's our science editor rebecca morelle. after an epicjourney through the solar system, nasa's capsule carrying a precious sample of an asteroid is set for a perilous return to earth. it was been through the atmosphere at more than 27,000 miles an hour, heating up to a scorching 3000 degrees, before parachutes open to bring it safely down to the ground. for the osiris—rex mission team it is a nerve wracking weight. the problem we have the capsule is there is no instrumentation. we release it from the spacecraft four hours before it intersects with the atmosphere. and we have some optical telescopes and things they can track and give us confirmation that it really is property, but otherwise we're just waiting until that atmospheric entry point. the capsule is heading for a vast wilderness.

the dugway military base in utah. the landing site has been set since the mission launched seven years ago. so after travelling billions of miles through space, the capsule is going to land somewhere over here in the utah desert, come rain or shine. military meteorologists are monitoring the weather right up to the last moment. copy, range control. approval, will call on the way. tracking the winds is vital for the recovery teams waiting for the capsule. one, two, confirming the balloon is away at this time. by launching weather balloons before the object comes down, we can get an idea of what the upper winds are doing and how that will steer the capsule. and more accurate the data gets the more accurately we can predict where it will land at. the team is aware things can go wrong. looks like we have a no shoot, sir. 20 years ago in this same patch of desert,

another sample return mission came to a catastrophic end after the capsule's parachutes failed to open. negative probe, negative shoot. copy, receive a visual. impacted by eight by five... we are confident we will not have a genesis event with his recovery. when that happened, an investigation was done and we understand the error that occurred — some gravity switches put in upside down. they have been many double checks on this capsule to make sure they are installed the right side up. so we have no worries of it coming in and operating properly. all the effort is to solve the mystery of what asteroid bennu is made of. this is vital because bennu tops the list of nasa's most hazardous space rocks, so studying its make up could help us to stop it, if we ever need to. but it could also help us understand our origins. it is a perfectly preserved relic from the dawn of the solar system. this was the moment the sample

was collected in a five—second smash and grab, before it was safely stowed in the capsule for its return to earth. the rock and dust will be divided up between scientists around the world, including the team at london's natural history museum. we will be getting small vial�*s worth, which will be made up of thousands of individual, tiny little grains, which we will analyse one by one. we are all unbelievably excited. we have talked about it, written about it, dreamt about what it will be, and finally we will see it and understand what it really is. the hope is this small but invaluable sample will shed light on the story of our solar system and answer some of the biggest questions we have. rebecca morelle, bbc news. it's so exciting that it could tell us about where everything will land and it will land come rain or shine four o'clock uk time so louise can tell us if it will rain or shine.

that's the issue, isn't it? it will land but whether they can get to it? the opposite to our weather, i was having a look, and obviously is in the desert so it looks like we will see light winds, 25— 28 degrees. perfect! i am see light winds, 25— 28 degrees. perfect! iam no see light winds, 25— 28 degrees. perfect! i am no expert but that sounds good! we perfect! i am no expert but that sounds good!— sounds good! we will take that, won't we? _ sounds good! we will take that, won't we? not _ sounds good! we will take that, won't we? not moving - sounds good! we will take that, won't we? not moving too i sounds good! we will take that, | won't we? not moving too much sounds good! we will take that, i won't we? not moving too much of course without, _ won't we? not moving too much of course without, i— won't we? not moving too much of course without, i think _ won't we? not moving too much of course without, i think that - won't we? not moving too much of course without, i think that the i course without, i think that the aim _ course without, i think that the aim. :, : :, :, , ::, aim. the weather conditions, we can dream about — aim. the weather conditions, we can dream about at _ aim. the weather conditions, we can dream about at the _ aim. the weather conditions, we can dream about at the moment. - aim. the weather conditions, we can dream about at the moment. it's i dream about at the moment. it's completely opposite for us unfortunately. as you can see behind me, it is telling the story here, and windy. as you saw from the party conference earlier, it is a change to the theme of what we had yesterday. wet and windy in the west but very mild for this time of year because the wind direction is coming from the southwest. a blanket of cloud across us at the moment preventing temperatures from falling very far, double digits quite widely. some rain pushing in from the west. fairly fragmented. this

has been the story of the past few hours. easing away and the other showing his hand across the southwest and into northern ireland. going through the afternoon, we will see the wet weather pushing steadily north, affecting western areas. that said, the cloud and the sun will start to break up and we will see some sunshine across central and southern areas with high fear of 21 or possibly 22. a real contrast for some. the wettest potentially as we go through the evening hours across south west england and wales, grinding to a halt across north west england and into scotland. brighter colours denoting the intensity of the wind coupled with the rain and coupled with wind gusts of 50 or 60 miles an hour will be a miserable and to sunday for some. frontal system will gradually drift away, we will see showers pushing into the far north of scotland and again, staying very mild indeed, 12—15 the overnight low. monday morning, a mild start and pleased to say a

quieter story as well. arrangement is away but sunny spells come through. the winds still noticeable but not as strong as they have been and as you can see, temperatures 15—22, 72 fahrenheit which is above the average for late september. moving out of monday into tuesday, yet more wet weather pushing in from the west. this is the trend as we go through the middle part of the week. some rain once again quite heavy in areas where we already have seen significant rainfall totals in the west and it will tend to linger for a time across scotland. 16—22 is the high, 72 fahrenheit. through the middle part of the week, the potential for another significant storm. you could see gales or severe gales developing as the area of low pressure move then. still a level of uncertaintyjust pressure move then. still a level of uncertainty just where the pressure move then. still a level of uncertaintyjust where the centre of the low will be sitting so you need to keep abreast of the forecast for the middle part of the week if you have plans but looking at the city

forecast, you can see bookend either side of the week, quieter and brighter but through the middle, it is about cloud and wind and rain. back to you. always, thank you, whether from around the country and utah. there is nothing you can do. which would you prefer?— which would you prefer? utah, lease. which would you prefer? utah, please- it's _ which would you prefer? utah, please. it's 7:17. _ "one punch can destroy a family" — that's the message from the parents of a man who was left with life—changing injuries following a street attack two years ago. jamie kelly fell and hit his head on the pavement, after being punched in scarborough. now, his story is being told to teenagers in schools as part of an education campaign by north yorkshire police. our social affairs correspondent emma glasbey has more. jamie kelly was 41 when he was attacked in scarborough. in a split second, his life changed forever.

been waiting for. cheering and applause a parisian party for ireland's fans. the world number ones facing the world champions, south africa, with no little confidence. come on, boys. tonight's the night, come on. the players emerged to an exhilarating atmosphere, and it was south africa that soon struck — a penalty from manie libbok. but at the end of an often—bruising first half, ireland hit back. he gets it out. it's a try. mack hansen scurrying over and his team led 7—3 at the break. but just after it, it was south africa's turn to dazzle — cheslin kolbe brilliantly putting the springboks back in front. two penalties, though, from johnny sexton and jack crowley, put ireland in sight of victory and amid the tensest of finishes, they held on. end of the game. some win for ireland, some celebrations, and some statement. well, for the thousands of ireland fans here, what a night to remember.

there's still a long way to go, but they proved, once again, that they're the team to beat. earlier, england had faced chile, led by the returning owen farrell — but inspired by the dashing henry arundell. the 20—year—old opened the scoring — and that was just the start as england ran riot, marcus smith with the pick of their 11 tries. marcus smith. and, remarkably, arundell ended up with five of them — a stunning individual feat. and it is henry v! and for england, the quarterfinals now surely beckon. andy swiss, bbc news. there's another mammoth match at the world cup tonight. wales will fade in australia. —— face australia. victory for the welsh would put them into the quarter finals, whilst defeat would put the wallabies out. the stakes couldn't be higher for australia but wales head coach warren gatland

says his side have to focus on themselves, having not played their best rugby so far: what i'm happy about at the moment is i'm proud they put some pride in the welsh jersey that was — it doesn't take long to lose it, you know, and i don't think that we had the respect of the rugby world in terms of performance and results and, you know, that's been a big objective of ours over the last few months. before that, only a win for scotland will keep alive their hopes of going beyond the pool stages — they face tonga in nice. it's two weeks, remember, since scotland's last match at the world cup, which was a defeat to south africa. away from the world cup, manchester united halted their run of three defeats with a 1—0 victory at burnley in the premier league — and what a goal to win it. jonny evans making his first start since returning to united, setting up captain bruno fernandes for the only goal of the game. it eases the pressure that was building on manager erik ten hag, moving united up to eighth in the table. everything is going well. you have

to find 20 points and do it yourself. we knew that before. and i'm very pleased with the spirit of the team. it shows that the dressing room is together and they fight together and they want to transfer the way of play on the pitch. scottish premiership leaders celtic had joe hart sent off but still managed to win 3—0 at livingston. they were already 1—0 up when their goalkeeper was dismissed for a professionalfoul. but two further goals, including this for daizen maeda, keeps brendan rodgers' side top of the table. with the cricket world cup less than two weeks away, defending champions england fielded a second—string team in their victory over ireland. it wasn't a good day at the crease for first—time captain zak crawley, who fell for a second ball duck here. player of the match will jacks hit four sixes. he just missed out on a century at trent bridge. england went on to bowl ireland

out and win by 48 runs. team europe and usa will resume in the solheim cup today level at 8—8, as the competition comes to a close in spain this afternoon with the final 12 singles matches. europe, remember, were 4—0 down after the first session of play on friday, but since then they have fought back. they won three of the four afternoon four balls matches in andalucia, and have the momentum going into the singles, which get going later this morning. the americans are tough, especially in singles. they are really good players but i think we have a good team anything we can do this. i think the team is ready to go tomorrow, give their best, and hopefully we can get to those 14.5, 15 points, and the cup stays here in spain. and it was meant to be the night that joe joyce got his career back on track — but instead, he wakes up this

morning with his hopes of challenging to become the heavyweight champion of the world all but over. joyce was beaten by china's zhilei zhang in their rematch in london last night — zhang knocking joyce out in just the third round, meaning he retains the wbo interim title and stays as the mandatory challenger to heavyweight champion oleksandr usyk. just disappointed. he is a good fighter, so credited to him. he goes on to the next stage. i need to rebuild and come back. that is boxing. it is this what we are in. you can't always win. but, you know, plenty of learning to do. he is a tough fighter. i probably could have done a route, but mistakes happen, and i can come back in a different route and go in for total contention. not a good day forjoejoyce. en five live, max verstappen in charge

of year, actually, 22 degrees maybe in the london area this afternoon. so, a real mixture across the country, it really is a very eclectic, autumnal mix. you can see from this picture and is sussex that we have rough seas, strong winds but also the cloud is breaking up, a little bit of blue sky. quite a lot of cloud through the night tonight is an area of low pressure pushes in and it will bring some rain. it's already bringing some. but it is not going to be fairly continuous through the day with pulses moving up through the day with pulses moving up along a conveyor belt throughout the day. this has been the story over the last few hours, an area of rain easing away from scotland and a little bit of light drizzle further south of the cloud already breaking up, sunshine coming through and another pulse of wet weather moving its way up through the irish sea, any across north west england, northern ireland, scotland and here, temperature 16—18 which is very mild for this time of year but the highest values where the cloud continues to break and the sun comes

through, maybe into the late 20s but the rain out of the west of the strongest of the winds crossed west—facing coasts through the evening and this rain will linger across parts of western scotland. more details on all of that coming up more details on all of that coming up in half—an—hour. more details on all of that coming up in half-an-hour._ up in half-an-hour. louise, thank ou. it up in half-an-hour. louise, thank you- it looks _ up in half-an-hour. louise, thank you. it looks like _ up in half-an-hour. louise, thank you. it looks like a _ up in half-an-hour. louise, thank you. it looks like a very _ up in half-an-hour. louise, thank you. it looks like a very angry i up in half-an-hour. louise, thankj you. it looks like a very angry rain cloud or to out there. it's 12 minutes to eight o'clock. now on breakfast, it's time for this week's episode of newswatch. how to report on russell brand. welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. coming up — were details bbc news gave of the allegations against russell brand too graphic for a tea time audience? and has the comedian been subjected to a trial by media? allegations of rape and sexual

assault against the comedian and actor russell brand — which he denies — first surfaced on saturday afternoon following a lengthy investigation conducted by the times, the sunday times and channel 4's dispatches programme. they related to a period between 2006 and 2013, as lizo mzimba described on bbc one's tea time news bulletin. now, during some of this time, brand was a presenter for bbc radio 2 and channel 4, as well as acting in hollywood films. he was undoubtedly one of the most famous celebrities in the country. the programme then went into some detail about what russell brand is accused of doing. the nature of those descriptions, the time of day they were broadcast, and the extent of the coverage that followed all concerned annie saviano. it seems that today, your top news story concerned the alleged historic actions of russell brand. now, whilst i understand that the women involved need a voice and their story should be heard, it is not a top news story.

at tea—time on saturday, just before family programming, why were we subjected to such lurid details of these offences at such a sensitive time? obviously not so important to the bbc and therefore, in second place came the devastation and loss of life in libya. and this is followed by a few lines concerning the melting of the ice caps. so, does the bbc consider the titillating story about russell brand to be more important than world disasters and the potential catastrophe of rising sea levels? now, we'll doubtless be told that this piece was of public interest and therefore important, but i beg to differ. an anonymous viewer echoed that point about the nature of the descriptions provided on that bulletin.

on a corporate level, the bbc, along with channel 4, who also employed russell brand at the time of the alleged incidents, has questions to answer over what it knew about his behaviour. and its director general, tim davie, announced an internal review into complaints against him to be completed within weeks. we'll look at any complaints made about russell brand's conduct during his time, what was known at the time, what was done. so, full transparency. we're going to dig into anything that we've got there. meanwhile, there were other complaints about how bbc news covered the story, with one outlined here by dennis taylor. my concern is over the way russell brand is being treated by the media. he should be subjected to the investigation by the police and, if necessary, being brought before the courts so that the full majesty of the law can be initiated,

not by what's happening now, which is why the media are doing trial by television, by newspaper, by editorial or whatever. it is not right. let's talk about the journalistic challenges for the bbc around russell brand with richard burgess, director of news content. hello, richard, and welcome back to newswatch. this is an issue that's coming up more and more, isn't it? detailed allegations about inappropriate behaviour against a named person, but without them being charged with any criminal offence. are you worried this could be trial by media? no, i think it's important when there are serious allegations and a number of serious allegations of this nature thatjournalists and the media report on them and investigate them. and i should say i think this was a really robust and significant piece ofjournalism by the times and channel 4 dispatches. and you've seen the rest of the media has followed it up

and investigated it themselves as well. well, of course, you did follow it up with extensive coverage and some viewers feel that that's what gives an overwhelming sense of russell brand being put on trial. should you not have maybe limited how much airtime you gave it? well, i think brand is a significant figure. he's worked for major broadcasters — channel 4, the bbc. of course, he now has a big following on youtube, many millions, not to mention having worked in hollywood as well. so, this is a significant figure. these are really serious allegations. so, i think it was worthy of coverage. but of course, we were mindful about the level and the prominence of that coverage. some viewers felt that that prominence showed a kind of obsession with one celebrity's private life when major disasters like the libya flood were pushed down the running order. how do you respond? well, i think, as ever

with these things, there are editorialjudgements and we know not all viewers and listeners and readers will agree with the editorialjudgements we make, and they won't all agree among themselves. we've given significant coverage to the story in libya. it's obviously a shocking and terrible story. and we've had a team on the ground there to to cover it itself. but then there are times when the editorial agenda shifts and other stories go to the top of running orders. you talked about being mindful of the audience's reactions and on that saturday tea—time bulletin when the story had just broken, we saw graphic quotes about details of alleged attacks read out and the quotes on screen and there were no warnings. did you think about who would be watching? i'll be honest with you — i think we should have done a warning on that bulletin. i think whenever we look and do stories like this, we are really careful and really mindful about a number of considerations — obviously, what time it's going out, the audience, the prominence of the allegations and the warnings that we should do ahead of them.

so, i think this is a story where you need, i think, some detail to understand it, and that's important. and it's important that alleged victims' accounts are heard. but equally, we are mindful that there are different audiences consuming our output at different times. it went on the days that followed on daytime coverage — lots of fairly explicit detail. can you understand viewers feeling that, you know, this was just not acceptable, given that children might well be watching? i can understand that, and i think that is why it's important that we make those judgements around volume, about the type of terminology we use on some programmes or not on others, about the importance of warnings ahead of offensive or distressing content. but equally, it is important that we tell the details of these stories, so that people properly understand. given we know that stories

like this will recur again, will you rethink how much explicit detail you give? genuinely, samira, we take this really seriously. we really think about it. and you know, viewers might be interested to know ahead of the story that we did ourselves this past week, you know, we had significant number of meetings where we discussed these things in details with editorial policy, senior editors, lawyers. and so, these aren't things that we just throw on to air. we take them seriously. we makejudgements. and it's always this kind of weighing up between the editorial justification, plus the danger of offending the viewers. and, you know, we accept we won't always get it right but we do take these things really seriously. richard burgess, thank you. as summer disappears, wednesday was the time for most of us to be inside, away from the wind and the rain,

but that was the day chosen to take bbc one's evening news bulletins out on the road again with sophie raworth presenting. good evening. on a day of significant developments for the environment and the economy, i'm in plymouth as we continue to report from different parts of the uk on stories that impact all of us. some viewers were unconvinced about the decision to take the programme on location. lynne olney emailed us to say: mike gail also wondered: —— mike gale also wondered: graham ford took up this perennial newswatch complaint, and it wasn'tjust sophie hayworth's location that he was concerned about. —— and it wasn'tjust

sophie rayworth's location that he was concerned about. so i'm watching the bbc news at ten o'clock on the 20th of september. and to my incredulity, we've got sophie raworth on the roof of some building in plymouth. chris at westminster, who's been hit by a downpour. i hope you can hear me all right, chris. we then moved to chris mason outside parliament, who is under his umbrella, looking like a completely drowned rat. you've got to feel pretty sorry for the guy. what on earth is he doing out there in the pouring rain? well, it seems as if the hospital system's been under— considerable pressure today. then, we move to hugh pym, who is also under an umbrella — which is, you know, quite ridiculous because he's getting soaking wet as well. don't the bbc have studios? why is it necessary for them to be outside? the only man who got it right was the weatherman. he knew the forecast and he was inside delivering his take on the weather. well, we asked bbc news about the decision to broadcast

the news at six and the news at ten from plymouth this week. thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, on tv, radio, online and social media, email us. or you can find us on x, formerly known as twitter. you can call us. and do have a look at previous interviews on our website.

that's all from us for now. thank you forjoining us. do think about getting in touch and perhaps even coming on the programme. we'll be back to hear more of your thoughts about how the bbc covers the news next week. goodbye. good morning, welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and luxmy gopal. our headlines today. a final decision on hs2 to manchester is expected this week. the prime minister is under yet more pressure to confirm if the route will go ahead. a number of met police officers step back from firearms duties, after one of their colleagues is charged with the murder of 24—year—old chris kaba. protestors against sewage

all. details shortly. good morning. it's sunday, the 24th of september. our main story. a decision on the future of the northern section of the hs2 rail line is expected to be made this week by the government. the prime minister is under mounting pressure to clarify if the birmingham to manchester leg will be completed, after reports it could be scrapped due to rising costs. here's our business reporter noor nanji. it a mammoth project aimed at creating more capacity and speeding up journey times. but hs2 has also been plagued by delays, cuts and spiralling costs. earlier this year the government said it was pausing work on the new central london terminus at euston. recently prime minister rishi sunak and chancellorjeremy hunt have not been willing to say they are committed to hs2 being built in manchester, casting fresh doubt over the future of the project. i think the government does need to continue to reconsider. but the other side of that story is the government also needs to get behind this project.

when they firmly decide it's affordable, get behind it. in a letter organised by the rail industry, the leaders of 21 firms warned that constant changes to a flagship infrastructure project added to the perceived risk of the uk as a place to do business. they say discarding the leg to manchester will have serious implications for the uk economy, and urged the prime minister to reaffirm his commitment to the delivery of hs2 phase two from manchester to euston in full, to deliver the widespread economic benefits the project is already delivering. the mayor of london, sadiq khan, has also called speculation that trains won't run from birmingham to manchester, deeply worrying, saying... "if plans for a test to terminate at euston station are abandoned, it would cause a ridiculous situation where it takes longer to get from birmingham to central london on hs2, than on existing trains." a government spokesperson said the hs2 project is already well under way, with spades in the ground. noor nanji, bbc news.

let's get more on this now with our political correspondent jessica parker. jessica, when are we expecting to hear the government's decision? of course, speculation has been building for some time now as we have been reflecting. downing street refusing to explicitly back the idea of the birmingham to manchester leg of the birmingham to manchester leg of the birmingham to manchester leg of the line. and jeremy hunt dropping what some say are heavy hints recently, saying that costs were totally out of control. what we think may happen, and nothing has been officially confirmed, but the prime minister and the chance could meet this week for a crunch decision and a final decision being made potentially this week as well. and it would be a controversial one, as we have been reflecting, reporting on, for the prime minister. boris johnson saying it would be a mutilation of the line. business leaders raising their concerns. that being said, there are people, including in the conservative party, who would actually support this

decision. they think the huge sums of money potentially being spent on hsz of money potentially being spent on hs2 would be better spent on local infrastructure in the midlands and the north of indent as well. i think politically it is quite interesting for rishi sunak. recently made another big and controversial decision about pushing back green targets. this would again be, if he does go ahead, a sign that he is willing to raise his head above the political power had —— parapet. jessica parker. let's get more news from ben. thank you. a number of metropolitan police officers are stepping back from firearms duties, after a marksman was charged with the murder of chris kaba in south london last year. our reporter simonjones is at new scotland yard this morning. simon, what is behind this decision? well, it wasjust simon, what is behind this decision? well, it was just over a year ago that chris kaba was driving in streatham hill. the car he was in was pulled over by the police. in

the moments that followed he was shot at the head by a police officer. it turned out that chris kaba did not have a gun. the car he was in did not belong to him. but the vehicle had been linked by police to a gun incident the day before. now on wednesday, a met police firearms officer was charged with murder. he appeared in court in london on thursday. we can't name them for legal reasons. ever since them for legal reasons. ever since the met says there has been growing concern among other firearms officers about the implications of this case. there are fears that it represents a shift in the way that decisions made in a split second under huge pressure by firearms officers may bejudged in the future. so the commissioner of the met has been meeting hers firearms teams to hear those concerns. —— his firearms teams. we understand more than 100 firearms officers have stepped back from duty. they have not officially quit their roles, but it gives them a moment to reflect

about what they want to do any future. as a result the met police have been forced to draft in firearms officers from other parts of the country. the met police federation pointing out that being a firearms officers in the capital is one of the toughestjobs in the world. one of the toughest 'obs in the world. ,, ., one of the toughest 'obs in the world. ., ., ., one of the toughest 'obs in the world. ,, ., ., ., ., ~ one of the toughest 'obs in the world. ., ., ., ., ., ~ world. simon, for now, thank you. simon jones- _ the first buses in england to be under public ownership since the 1980s, will leave depots in greater manchester this morning. the bee network promises to bring cheaper travel and a more reliable public transport system to communities. services will be run by private companies, but the local authority will set the fares, timetables and routes. the us hurricane centre has downgraded tropical storm ophelia, which made landfall on the coast of north carolina yesterday. nearly eight million people from new york to south carolina were warned about high winds and possible flooding. power cuts affected around 70,000 homes and businesses. the liberal democrats have kicked off their party's autumn conference in bournemouth

with a number of spending pledges, including a care package worth £5 billion a year. our political correspondent, peter saul is there. it is wild, it is windy where you are, what should we expect on day two? . are, what should we expect on day two? , , are, what should we expect on day two? . . ~ are, what should we expect on day two? , , ~ ,, two? yes, it feels like the seasons have changed _ two? yes, it feels like the seasons have changed overnight. _ two? yes, it feels like the seasons have changed overnight. there i two? yes, it feels like the seasons| have changed overnight. there was not a cloud in the sky here yesterday. i think the mood might be a little bit different here after the joy of yesterday for a lot of liberal democrat activists, the first time they have got together for an autumn conference in four years. today they will be getting down to business. there will be a series of vaults on a pre—manifesto document. by the end of the day will get a clear sense, i think of the kind of pitch the liberal democrats will make to voters at the general election. we are expecting at some point next year. the big issue they want to talk about how above everything else is solving problems in the nhs, the key pledge, they say, is guaranteeing that nobody

will have to wait longer than seven days for a gp appointment. they really do believe that they can build on some of the recent electoral successes that they have had as a general election. we heard at a rally last night from some newly elected lib dem mps, some of their candidates for the general election, including one who turned up election, including one who turned up on stage wearing a wet suit to highlight problems with sewage on our coastlines. it might not be entirely harmonious today. there is —— there was a fringe event yesterday where the polling expert john curtis said the lib dems were losing support to the labour party and they needed a much clearer, distinct message. a lot of activists would like that strong message to be particularly on brexit. lots of people wearing rejoin stickers around the conference centre. the parties official line for the moment is that rejoining is off the table. peter, good to have you there. don't get blown away. thank you. we will

have a full weather forecast from the ways to give us a sense of what is happening elsewhere in the country. later today, a capsule containing samples from what scientists say is the most dangerous asteroid in the solar system, will land in the utah desert. it's a culmination of a seven year mission and could answer some of the biggest questions about how life began, as our science editor rebecca morelle explains. the clock really is ticking for the team. they are gearing up for the dramatic conclusion of this seven year long osiris—rex mission. after travelling for billions of miles through our solar system, this capsule, which is carrying these precious fragments of asteroid venue, is going to make its way through the atmosphere and all the way down to the ground here in utah. that dissent is going to be powerless. to speed through the atmosphere 27,000 mph, experiencing temperatures of 3000 celsius. it is going to need two parachutes to slow

it down and hopefully there will be a soft landing. the capsule has no gps or tracking on board, so the team will have to use long—range telescopes and infrared cameras to try and find it as it comes through. so it's going to be a really nerve—racking wait for them. once they have the coordinates, they will get into their helicopters and headed to the recovery site. the key thing is to get the capsule and its precious contents into a clean room as soon as possible because they don't want any contamination. i guess the big question is, why go to all of this trouble? the first reason is a really good one. we want to find out about asteroid venue because it tops the list of nasa's most hazardous space rocks. there is a one in 1750 chance of it hitting the earth somewhere in the next 300 years, which is small but significant. so, if you want to think about ways of stopping it, preventing something like this from happening, it helps to know what the asteroid is made of. but benny was not all bad. in fact, it could tell

us about our origins because asteroids are perfectly preserved time capsules, they are these relics, leftovers, from the formation of the early solar system 4.5 billion years ago. there is an awful lot we can learn from them. scientists are desperate to get their carefully gloved hands on this asteroid sample once the capsule is opened. it will be a painstaking process, a few weeks long, but they say the weight will be worth it. not much longer to wait to see that because i think we are four hours away. that's right. very exciting. the time is coming up to 13 past aide. —— eight. police officers from across the country will come together later today, to pay their respects to colleagues who've died in the line of duty. those being remembered will include custody sergeant matt ratana, who was shot dead three years ago by a man who smuggled a gun into a police station. our reporter ben weisz

has been to meet some of his friends and colleagues, as they set off on a charity walk in his honour. yeah, good luck. just keep going, remember what the charity's for. and do him proud. it's certainly not a solemn legacy. and that would be consistent with the man himself. he would have no time for that kind of thing. with them every single step of the way, matt and his friends walking in his honour, raising money for the charity that bears his name. it's been buoyant. it's been non—stop banter and we've been sharing our memories of matt, because obviously we've come from different parts of his life. sharing anecdotes, talking about him, and i'd like to think he'd be pretty happy with what we are doing here. and, well, to have him with us — well, i feel in some ways he is with us. welcome to east grinstead rugby club. a police sergeant, but a popular rugby coach too. when he was killed three years ago, he left behind grieving communities in policing, in rugby, and fitness.

today, those worlds came together, united by memories of matt. matt was just the most extraordinary character. he just had this ability to engage with a team, which is really important in a team sport. he also had this ability to engage with each individual. do it again, do it again, do it again! and matt had this ability to pinpoint what it was in that person that would make them a better and stronger person, and he did it every time. and, you know, my son, three, four years old, he's just a much better man for having known that. the money raised will help young people discover the joy of playing rugby. breaking down barriers, bringing people together, a fitting tribute to a coach, a mentor, and a friend. that was ben weisz with that report. we can discuss national police memorial day now with the head of the police federation of england

and wales, steve hartshorn. thank you forjoining us, steve. good morning.— thank you forjoining us, steve. i good morning._ we thank you forjoining us, steve. - good morning._ we heard good morning. good morning. we heard from some of— good morning. good morning. we heard from some of might _ good morning. good morning. we heard from some of might return _ good morning. good morning. we heard from some of might return a's _ from some of might return a's friends. what impacted his death have more widely on members of the force? —— match matt ratana's. it force? —— match matt ratana's. lf was huge. we never lose a colleague but every single police officer feels it because they are seen as part of the wider police family. it is very important that we can get together like today to remember the sad loss of amma colleagues. in the sad loss of amma colleagues. in the aftermath of — sad loss of amma colleagues. in the aftermath of the _ sad loss of amma colleagues. in the aftermath of the murder, _ sad loss of amma colleagues. in the aftermath of the murder, what i aftermath of the murder, what support was given to officers? do you think it was enough? do you think more could have been done? l think more could have been done? i know that the police service, the metropolitan police service, matt's employer or the local police federation and the wider police family were around the offices. there has been a huge bed of charity work done to support matt's family and friends. it's important they know they have places to go and they

will now, as well as our viewers, that public trust in the police has been under the spotlight recently. do you think there is more that could be done to restore that? l do. could be done to restore that? i do, and i think— could be done to restore that? i do, and i think it's — could be done to restore that? i do, and i think it's about _ could be done to restore that? i so, and i think it's about members of the public having honest conversations with my police officer colleagues that are out there day in, day out. if you get an opportunity to speak to a police officer when they are not busy dealing with crime, engage with them. have a conversation. they are just like you and me. we have lives, families, things we want to do. but above that we are there to protect the public. it is the vast majority of my colleagues, every single day, that are out there helping the public. they perhaps don't realise, we have 40,000 assaults on police officers every day. that is nearly 110 assault —— 40,000 a year, 110 assaults every day. get to know your offices. . assaults every day. get to know your offices. , , ~', assaults every day. get to know your offices. , , ., ., , offices. given the risks of the 'ob, it is something i offices. given the risks of the 'ob, it is something that i offices. given the risks of the 'ob, it is something that comes i offices. given the risks of the job, it is something that comes with i offices. given the risks of the job, | it is something that comes with the profession, how do you psychologically come to terms with

that, or resign yourself to that? policing is often coined as being a vocation. it is a bit of a calling to protect people. you accept that during the matters you might deal with there may be rough and tumble. we don't expect to be assaulted in the course of our duty. it is unacceptable, it is criminal and my colleagues should not be subject to the brutal assaults that go on. but there is also some recognition we can try to get for those offices who sadly pay the price and lose their lives. i am asking the government to provide us with a medal that can be awarded a posthumous leak to families so there is some recognition of the sacrifice they make, and that the prices we operate under are taken seriously by the government and the public can see that we are supposed to be valued and honoured in what we do. yesterday we spoke to brian hughes, the father of pc nicola hughes, killed in the line of duty in 2012. he wants to see officers killed on duty awarded posthumous medals. i

understand the federation has been supporting his campaign. so why do you think that is important, and what difference do you think that would make? l what difference do you think that would make?— would make? i think it'll make a hue would make? i think it'll make a huge difference _ would make? i think it'll make a huge difference to _ would make? i think it'll make a huge difference to the _ would make? i think it'll make a huge difference to the family i would make? i think it'll make a| huge difference to the family and friends that get to see that the service, the government to take it seriously. we give it to the military. they get the elizabeth cross. sometimes the officers may get the george medal. there is nothing in place for emergency service workers. it is very important my colleagues are given something as a mark of respect, to acknowledge the sacrifice they have paid. it's not too much to ask and it is a bit of a plea to everybody involved, please press —— please press your local mps and get these medals awarded to police officers who have sadly passed away during the course of duty.— the course of duty. steve, thank ou. you. we will have a full weather forecast a little lighter as the time approaches 20 past eight. it's an issue we've talked about a lot here on breakfast —

the dangers of raw sewage being pumped into england's waterways. the singer feargal sharkey is among those leading the campaign for change. this weekend, hejoined protesters in kent, at a rally against sewage spills on the county's coastline. as kirsteen o'donnell reports. hello, whitstable. rallies like this one by save our seas have become an all too familiar sight here. the group's been campaigning vigorously for change and has the backing of some high profile faces. it is simply scandalous and i'm fairly certain that that's exactly why this has become the huge political issue. because normal people, how could you not be affronted? how could you not be filled with anything but a deep, righteous, furious anger that you put your trust in the system, you bring your children to beaches like this on a bank holiday monday later to discover those children were swimming in somebody else's waste. i've lived here 34 years and tankerton isjust. down the road from us. that is the busiest

tipping point in... | ..in kent. you know, when you see this and it doesn't happen all the time, - but you see the colour of the ocean changing and you see this stuff- coming in to towards the shore, i it just makes you want to throw up. it's so horrible. sewage releases aren'tjust a problem here in kent. this is a nationwide issue. the government's faced ongoing criticism from opposition parties and there are calls for wide scale legislative changes. southern water says it's committed to making improvements. the company invited us into one of their treatment plants where work is underway to update infrastructure. it says investment should reduce sewage overflows after storms by around 20%. where we are right now is a place to... ..to really innovate and learn and we aren't stopping. so the taskforce and myself, we have a clear output to learn by the 31st of march 2025,

and we will submit our findings to ofwat and have those publicly available. so we've learnt but we're not stopping. you know, the 20% reduction is is for the next 18 months. it isn't an end point, it is just the start point. save our seas say much more needs to be done though. two years ago we set out i after a community meeting with our local mp and southern water where we just felt, like, _ after their £90 million fine - they had no commitment to change. so we staged our first i protest about two months later and two years on, looking at the numberl of releases that we're seeing, - we've seen a reduction of around 2% in the last two years. so unfortunately, we don't feel like we can stop protesting i until we see much bigger difference. at the same time as this protest was being held, there was yet another sewage discharge at this very beach. the campaign for cleaner water, it seems, is far from over. kirsteen o'sullivan, bbc news. that image takes us nicely to the

backdrop behind louise there. and i see the seaside? yeah, the waves are picking up. the winds will be a feature today. some of us will have scenes like this, blue sky and sunshine. others will see gales and rain, which will turn quite heavy at times. all tied into this low pressure. this cloud is moving in as we speak. and strong winds and heavy rain pushing up from the south—west. satisfy it is quite mild. south—westerly wind direction driving and some warmth from the near continent. take a look at the radar. the rain is very fragmented. we are expecting it to pep up later today. by lunchtime it would be moving across wales, northern england, northern ireland, and south—west scotland. central and southern parts of england and wales will continue to see some well broken cloud, a windy afternoon but a warm one. temperatures may peak at

21 or 22 degrees if the sunshine continues. some of the rain really quite heavy, particularly into the evening, accompanied by gusts of winds of 50 to 60 mph. heavy bursts in northern england and western scotland. here it will lingerfor much of the evening and through rainfall total will tarted up. there rainfall total will ta rted up. there are rainfall total will tarted up. there are weather warnings. 100 millimetres of rain on top of what has already been a pretty wet month in the west. that rain will ease away and we start monday and a quieter note with a few scattered showers in scotland. overnight lows again on the mild side. double digits, 12 to 15 degrees. as we go into monday, dry, settled, with a little bit more sunshine for all of us. still windy. of the winds are easing. clear scattered —— a few scattered showers continue in the north. the temperatures are still pretty good for the end of september. 15 to 22. 22 72 fahrenheit. as we move into tuesday,

more rain to come, and mostly out to the west. another area of low pressure, anotherfront the west. another area of low pressure, another front pushing some wet weather into western areas. there will be some showers to the east. but it will weaken as it moves into central and south—eastern england, the rain lingering for a time into scotland. just to add insult to injury, i'm afraid, as we move into the middle part of the week, there is a risk of severe gales and a really heavy spell of rain from more low pressure. the position of this low still subject to question. it could be further north, could be further south. you need to keep watching the forecast and we will firm up on those details. the emphasis for the week ahead is book end either side largely fine with more sunshine. but in the middle, wet and windy at times. back to you too. louise, thank you. on bbc one at nine o'clock this morning, it's time for sunday

with laura kuenssberg. this week, it's being presented by victoria derbyshire. let's find out what she's got in store. morning. laura is off today, so i am stepping in. it is a week where it feels as though the starting gun for a general election hasjust been fired. we will be talking to the defence secretary, grant shapps, about hs2, and the government because green policies. darren jones, labour. and sir ed davey, leader of the liberal democrats. all that and more on bbc one at nine o'clock. see you then. thank you very much. sport headlines coming up. see you soon.

away from the world cup, manchester united halted their run of three defeats with a one nil victory at burnley in the premier league — and what a goal to win it. jonny evans making his first start since returning to united, setting up captain bruno fernandes for the only goal of the game. what a volley! it eases the pressure that was building on manager erik ten hag, moving them up to eighth in the table. united's rivals manchester city remain the only team with a 100% record as they made it six wins from six. they beat nottingham forest 2—0 — phil foden with city's opener, his first of the season. erling haaland got the other. city had to play all of the second half with ten men after rodri was sent off — but forest couldn't find a way through. scottish premiership leaders celtic had joe hart sent off but still managed to win 3—0 at livingston. they were already 1—0 up when their goalkeeper was dismissed for a professional foul but two further goals including this for daizen maeda keeps brendan rodgers' side top of the table. next to formula one. let me bring you up to date

with what happened at the japanese grand prix this morning. max verstappen is on the verge of a third world title as he cruised to his 13th victory of the year with ease. there were a series of early crashes at suzuka. valterri bottas and alex albon clashed before the first corner, whilst verstappen's red bull teammate sergio perez was forced to retire after hitting kevin magnussen here on lap 13. but out in front without a care in the world verstappen's win helped his team clinch the constructor�*s title and he'll be world champion for the third straight year if he wins in qatar in a couple of weeks. joining verstappen on the podium here, the mclarens of lando norris and oscar piastri were second and third. and in little over an hour's time — play will begin on the final day of the solheim cup in spain with team europe and the usa all level at 8—8, going into the final 12 singles matches. europe remember were 4—0 down after the first session of play on friday, but have since fought back. jane dougall is in andalucia for us.

looks glorious behind you. this is quite some fight back and turnaround, the momentum with europe so how have they turned this around? do you know, there was a real feeling yesterday that europe are going to do something special, something in the atmosphere, the positivity that the fans brought under the fun. it seemed to filter down into the team. we saw some incredible displays on the course. the morning session, europe won two matches, as did america, effectively the same score but in the afternoon europe showed their teeth and we saw some fantastic golf and some incredible matches. some standout players, charlie hull from england, she had quite a disappointing first day, she was one of the four who lost their opening matches but my goodness did she turn that around. she had some impressive matchplay,

she was holing putts and along with her partner leona maguire, the irish woman, who does not smile often, she had a grin on herface, they raced into a four hole lead and they were a combined eight under after 14 before finishing with a stunning win over the world number three ally ewing and nelly korda from the usa. they were just one of three matches taken by europe in the afternoon and that meant they levelled the score at 8-8 that meant they levelled the score at 8—8 giving them a fighting chance going into the crucial final single state. ., . . ., ., state. yet mention the crucial final da , ou state. yet mention the crucial final day. you are _ state. yet mention the crucial final day. you are trying _ state. yet mention the crucial final day, you are trying to _ state. yet mention the crucial final day, you are trying to win - state. yet mention the crucial final day, you are trying to win the i day, you are trying to win the solheim cup for a third straight time so how is the final day shaping up? time so how is the final day shaping u - ? a, time so how is the final day shaping u . ? a, a a, time so how is the final day shaping up? you can probably tell it is a little bit windy _ up? you can probably tell it is a little bit windy so _ up? you can probably tell it is a little bit windy so even - up? you can probably tell it is a little bit windy so even though i up? you can probably tell it is a i little bit windy so even though the sun is shining the conditions will be slightly different from yesterday because it was much calmer so that will be a crucial factor but as defending champions, europejust defending champions, europe just need defending champions, europejust

need six points out of the 12 matches so they need to win half of their much today so fingers crossed thatis their much today so fingers crossed that is doable. that is available, to reach 1a points and that would mean they would retain the solheim cup because they already have it. it would mean they will be winning three consecutive solheim cups which has never been done before in history. the usa will need to get to 14.5 points to regain the trophy. the last time they want at in 2017 so every european player really needs to have it in their mind that they need to go out and beat their us counterpart because that is for the solheim cup and the ryder cup which takes place next week, that is where it can be won or lost. looking at the pairings,. live grant against megan khang, linn grant the rookie, she has won three out of her four available points so she is primed and ready to be first out for her team, for europe and we will find

out later, injust over an hour whether she will do that. we out later, in just over an hour whether she will do that. we look forward to that. _ whether she will do that. we look forward to that. enjoy _ whether she will do that. we look forward to that. enjoy it. - whether she will do that. we look forward to that. enjoy it. jane, i forward to that. enjoy it. jane, thank you. that is on bbc radio live —— radio 5 live sports extra. and it was meant to be the night that joe joyce got his career back on track — but instead, he wakes up this morning with his hopes of challenging to become the heavyweight champion of the world, all but over. joyce was beaten by china's zhilei zhang in their rematch in london last night — zhang knocking joyce out in just the third round — meaning he retains the wbo interim title and stays as the mandatory challenger to heavyweight champion oleksandr usyk. just disappointed, credit to him, i have to rebuild and come back. that is boxing, it is a sport that we are in, you cannot always win. you know, plenty of learning today. he is a

tough fighter, maybe it was a risk tough fighter, maybe it was a risk to far but i probably could have, whatever, mistakes happen. i paid the price but i can rebuild and come back a different route and get back into title contention. still back a different route and get back into title contention.— into title contention. still trying to stay optimistic, _ into title contention. still trying to stay optimistic, that - into title contention. still trying to stay optimistic, that was - into title contention. still trying to stay optimistic, that was joe | to stay optimistic, that wasjoe joyce. thanks so much. stay tuned, a really lovely story coming up that i think you will like, incredible. the son of a world war ii veteran has finally been able to lay his father to rest — 80 years after he died on the battlefield in normandy. david blyth was reported missing in action after his tank was destroyed. his body was never identified — until earlier this month. our reporter kevin shoesmith has the story. we came here to free you. in freshness of youth. a guard's badge to my tank. but our lives were unnerved by the dawn flash of death. and we slept under your corn—crowned bank.

i knew my dad had existed, but what had happened to him was always the... there's always a big question mark, you know? after a lifetime of hope, peter blyth finally found his dad. heavenly father, we have come together in this place to remember the life and service of guardsman david blyth, a legacy that secured a peace, a way of life that is enjoyed even today by so many. a way of life made possible by the sacrifice and service of those like your father. so thank you. up to now, a uniform button and a single photograph of him as a baby with his father had been the only links that it had. cameras click. i feel proud in a nutshell. in a word, proud. i'm not sure i like the word closure, but but yes, for want of a better word,

lm — it's... it removes any doubt. so that's closure, isn't it? we now know what happened to my dad and he is... he's at peace now in a marked grave. guardsman david blyth was identified through dna two weeks just 25—years—old, he died in a tank during the battle of normandy in august 1944. sad, of course, that it all happened far too late for his wife, his parents and his brothers and sisters, but really chuffed that it's happened. last post plays. also today, a service for guardsman william bayliss. they died together in a tank. they're now buried side by side. i feel grand, that...

that is the best, that is the top order of merit from a yorkshireman, ain't it? grand! thank you all for coming. thank you for letting us take part. me dad will be tickled pink... for me. kevin shoesmith, bbc news, normandy. i love that will action from peter, such beautiful words. incredible story. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. you were saying it starts nice and ends nice and those horrible stuff in the middle. i am not sure you will be tickled pink by the story but it is autumn, the autumn equinox was yesterday. at this time of year we get remnants of hurricane is which and some intensity and they add that into the story and that is what happens throughout the week ahead. for now, we have the seat starting to whip up a touch. we have blue sky, it really is a very messy

picture generally across the country. and then for sure, we have quite a lot of cloud, especially for the north and we have outbreaks of rain. at the moment, there is not that much cohesion to the rainfall, we see pulses of hot weather pushing from the south and west so one clears away and another one starting to show its hand across the southwest. we have been pushing into northern ireland. the heaviest of the rain will always be to the west and central and southern parts of england and wales and along with south wales will be dry, bright and warm. 20 or 21 degrees. the rain, heaviest up to the west and that is where the strongest winds are likely to be. as we go through to the evening hours, another pulse of very wet weather across cornwall, devon, moving into wales, whence gusting 50 or 60 miles an hour, heavy rain throughout the lake district and stretching to scotland. the areas we have already seen lots of heavy rain. keep abreast of the broadcast

over the next few days because some areas before we close out this month areas before we close out this month are likely to see the wettest september on record. please to hear heading into monday quite a spell of weather, dry, one stop for many. light winds, some showers into the fat north—west, top temperatures of 16-22 . fat north-west, top temperatures of 16-22 . 1, . ~ fat north-west, top temperatures of 16-22 . i, . ~ ., fat north-west, top temperatures of 16-22. g . ~ ., _, fat north-west, top temperatures of 16-22. ., , ., ~ 16-22 . back to you. louise, thank ou. 16-22 . back to you. louise, thank yom ending. _ 16-22 . back to you. louise, thank you. ending, that _ 16-22 . back to you. louise, thank you. ending, that is _ 16-22 . back to you. louise, thank you. ending, that is a _ 16-22 . back to you. louise, thank you. ending, that is a great - 16-22 . back to you. louise, thank you. ending, that is a great way i 16-22 . back to you. louise, thankj you. ending, that is a great way to describe the forecast. thank you so much. a 200—year—old mystery over the identity of the artist behind a 17th century painting, has finally been solved. after being wrongly attributed and then kept in storage for more than a century — the rare piece of artwork has now been restored and is on display at windsor castle. celestina olulode has the story. trailblazer, storyteller and renowned italian artist — artemisia gentileschi, depicted here in a self—portrait. she's perhaps most famous

for this painting, susanna and the elders, but up until recently, art experts didn't know that this was one of her works of art because it was wrongly catalogued. the painting had been catalogued as french school in the 20th century, so it was believed to be by a french artist that no—one even knew the name of. and it's only by looking at these historic inventories that we were able to match it up. and part of the reason for that is its condition. it had been subjected to hundreds of years of hanging over fireplaces with that smoke and dust. also historic conservation treatments where it had been over painted by later conservators. so a team got to work restoring the painting, which took five years. this painting depicts susanna and the elders. the story effectively is one of blackmail, so that when she refuses the advances of these two men, they threaten her... to reveal her with infidelity, which is not true, and this has a particular relevance to artemisia's

own background. she was actually at the age of 17, raped by another artist working in her father's studio where she was training, and she was called on at his trial to give evidence. and she was even tortured. she was again shown to be innocent and telling the truth. and so perhaps there's a link there. art historian katie hessel says artemisia's work remains significant today. so she grew up immersed, looking at pictures, grinding pigments in the studio. this was so rare for a woman at her time. they didn't have access to paintings. you know, women had to be chaperoned to experience and witness different, different artworks. and actually, i may be around 400 years after this painting was made, but even as a woman in 2023, you feel seen by that painting. you feel that your voice is heard. what do you think this celebration of gentileschi now says about our society? you know, artemisia gentileschi was a celebrity in her day. there's a quote by her from 1649 and she says, "i'll show you what a woman can do."

and that quote is still resonating with people all around the world today. so i would say to anyone in front of that painting, how do you feel before we even know that it's gentileschi? what is this painting telling you? and go from there. because art really should be for everyone. and it's telling us about a period in history that is so exciting and groundbreaking. the artwork will be displayed at windsor castle until april next year. celestine olulode, bbc news, windsor. we've been talking this morning about a seven year mission into space, to answer some of the biggest questions about how life began. later today, a capsule containing samples from what scientists say is the most dangerous asteroid in the solar system, will land in the utah desert. here's our science editor rebecca morelle. after an epicjourney through the solar system, nasa's capsule, carrying a precious sample of an asteroid, is set for a perilous return to earth.

it will speed through the atmosphere at more than 27,000 miles an hour, heating up to a scorching 3000 degrees, before parachutes open to bring it safely down to the ground. for the osiris—rex mission team, it's a nerve—racking wait. the problem we have with this capsule is there's no instrumentation. we release it from the spacecraft four hours before it intersects with the atmosphere. and we have some optical telescopes and things that can track and give us some confirmation that it released properly. but otherwise, we're just waiting until that atmospheric entry point. the capsule is heading for a vast wilderness, the dugway military base in utah. the landing date has been set since the mission launched seven years ago. so after travelling billions of miles through space, the capsule is going to land somewhere over here in the utah desert, come rain or shine. military meteorologists are monitoring the weather right up to the last moment. copy range control...

tracking the winds is vital for the recovery team waiting for the capsule. confirming balloon. is away at this time. by launching weather balloonsi before the object comes down, we can get an idea of what the upper level winds are doing and how- that is going to steer the capsule. and the more accurate the data gets, i the more precisely they can predict. where it's going to land at. the team is well aware that things can go wrong. it looks like we have a no chute, sir. 20 years ago, in this same patch of desert, another sample return mission called genesis came to a catastrophic end after the capsule�*s parachutes fail to open. negative. copy. receive a visual. impact at 5855. we are very confident that we will not have a genesis type event with this recovery. when that happened, an investigation was done. we understand the error that occurred, which was some

gravity switches were installed upside down, and there have been many double checks on the gravity switches on this capsule to make sure they're installed the correct side up. so we actually have no worries about it coming in and operating properly. all of this effort is to solve the mystery of what's asteroid bennu is made of. this is vital because bennu tops the list of nasa's most hazardous space rocks. so studying its makeup could help us to stop it, if we ever need to. but it could also reveal more about our origins. it's a perfectly preserved relic from the dawn of the solar system. this was the moment the sample was collected in a five—second smash and grab, before it was safely stowed in the capsule for its return to earth. the rock and dust will be divided up between scientists around the world, including the team at london's natural history museum. we will be getting a small vial�*s worth, which will be made up of thousands of individual,

tiny little grains, which we will analyse one by one. we're all unbelievably excited. we've thought about it, we've talked about it, we've written papers about it, we've dreamt about what it's going to be, and finally, we're actually going to see it and find out what it really is. the hope is this small but invaluable sample will shed light on the story of our solar system, and answer some of the biggest questions we have. rebecca morelle, bbc news, utah. joining us now is tim o'brien, professor of astrophysics and director of jodrell bank observatory. good morning and thank you so much for being with us. we heard how excited the scientific community is about the so explain why it's so significant? to bring back a sample of material from _ to bring back a sample of material from an— to bring back a sample of material from an asteroid, far bigger than anything — from an asteroid, far bigger than anything that has been brought back before _ anything that has been brought back before means we can get our hands
