the pairs will be confirmed very shortly. europe looking to reclaim the trophy, after they were somewhat demolished by the usa two years ago, and they have switched things up from their usual tactics, deciding to start with the foursomes this time, instead of the traditional four balls, our sports correspondent is out in italy for us, he explains the thinking behind that. the home team in the ryder cup gets to choose whether they start by playing either foursomes on the first morning when they take alternative shots or four balls when each player plays their own ball and the best score on the hole win, for 30 years now, europe have chosen to start with four ball bus the captain luke donald wants to starts with foursomes tomorrow. mainly for the simple reason he thinks they are better at it. they are stronger and he says it is crucial that europe gets off to a decent start on the

first morning. and bearing in mind two years ago when europe lost at whistling strait, they were 6—2 down on the first day and there was no way back, that emphasises the importance of europe getting off to a strong start and that is why they have opted to play foursomes first thing with four balls of course in the afternoon. staying with golf but away from the ryder cup, patrick reed has size he defamation lawsuit dismissed in florida. the american was seeking damages of over £600 million, from 18 parties, his file fewing claimed calculated malicious and reckless attacks caused him major damage, he lodged his complaint afterjoining the liv golf series in 2022. on to football now where spanish police

have raised —— raided the offices of the referees' committee as part of an investigation into barcelona's alleged corrupt payments to an official. the club faced charges of corruption over payments made to a former vice president of the committee, in return forfavourable refereeing decision, barcelona deny any wrongdoing and no arrests were made during the search in madrid. the nature of the crime is what the judge is trying to investigate. he is trying to see whether there is any evidence, any proof, not evidence, any proof that any written thing, piece of paper, saying that he was appointing one referee, or another, for a game, what the police are trying to see is very difficult and this will take time and when i say time i mean one or two years so it is a long—term case. now the rugby world cup pool stage

in delhi on 2nd october. and from us that, is all the sport for now, back to you nancy. thank sir michael worked across tv, film, radio and theatre in a career spanning five decades, in recent years he played albus dumbledore in six of the harry potter films. # got you... the singing detective. ..under my skin. # what is honour? falstaff. a word. maigret. welcome, welcome, to another year at hogwarts. and of course, dumbledore. michael gambon was a serious acting talent. he never did seemed to take it too seriously. tom, tom, you are sitting here. back where i started.

his stage breakthrough was in alan ayckbourn�*s the norman conquests, and in particular a scene in which he ends up dining on the little chair. you are all right where you are. good evening, carry on. talk amongst yourselves. no, not there. the table was there, i ate like that. i actually saw a bloke one night fall out of his seat in the circle... fine. ..laughing. we couldn't stop them. the whole house up, brilliant. i'm gavin ker... his first big tv role had been a bit of scottish swashbuckling in the borderers. michael gambon had grown up in london. he hated school and left without any qualifications, but he liked acting and armed with a cv that was pure gambonesque invention, he got a job in dublin. they like their meat well spiced in edinburgh. just kim, my love. he had learned his craft on the job, most crucially when sir laurence olivier had

taken him on at the national. i'm sorry, the shame. and in 1986 the singing detective made michael gambon a household name. that name became associated with a certain corner on top gear. he enjoyed the accolade. applause. he had a taste for devilment and hoodwinking gullible journalists. please. dumbledore and harry potter may have brought him a new global recognition, but he was defiantly un—starry. he described his face as looking like an old wet bag, but in beckett's ehjoe, he'd use it to hold an audience without saying a word. beneath that cloak of mischief was a seriously good actor.

and outstanding career, michael gambon who has died at the millions of people wrongly believe they are allergic to penicillin. that's according to the royal pharmaceutical society. it says many people take longer to recover after an infection as a consequence. about four million people in the uk have the drug allergy on their medical record but, when tested, 90% of them are not allergic, research suggests. let's speak to tase 0putu. she is chair of the royal pharmaceutical society in england. great to have you on the programme, just tell us more about what you found, because that is an extraordinary number that 90% of people seem to think they have an allergy they don't. that people seem to think they have an allergy they don't.— allergy they don't. that is true, es. in allergy they don't. that is true, yes- in nine _ allergy they don't. that is true, yes. in nine out— allergy they don't. that is true, yes. in nine out of— allergy they don't. that is true, yes. in nine out of ten - allergy they don't. that is true, yes. in nine out of ten people, | allergy they don't. that is true, i yes. in nine out of ten people, in fact, who say they are, have an allergy to penicillin don't have a true allergy, sometimes what has occurred is that maybe a side effect

of the antibiotic they took once caused diarrhoea or vomiting, or even a rash, and that is basically a side effect of some of the antibiotics or everyone a symptom of the infection they were suffering from, and sometimes, just associating those two things can cause a mislabelling of having an allergy. cause a mislabelling of having an aller: . �* _, , . , cause a mislabelling of having an aller: . �* , . , ., allergy. and the consequences are obviousl , allergy. and the consequences are obviously, that _ allergy. and the consequences are obviously, that some _ allergy. and the consequences are obviously, that some people - allergy. and the consequences are obviously, that some people can l allergy. and the consequences are i obviously, that some people can take longer to recover from illnesses, obviously, that some people can take longer to recoverfrom illnesses, so there is a lot o at stake but what is to blame for this misdiagnosis? it seems extraordinary that it is based on how people feel. well, as i have said, there _ based on how people feel. well, as i have said, there are _ based on how people feel. well, as i have said, there are symptoms - based on how people feel. well, as i have said, there are symptoms that| have said, there are symptoms that occur when you take, when you have an infection or when you take a medicine you do have side effects, the problem is, that people believe they have an allergy to an ain't bot tick they run the risk of not being

crime, and gang activity. now when she was asked about her attitude towards the police, she said it is hard to stay calm when you are constantly being pulled over with a rubbish excuse. now both bianca williams and ricardo dos santos were detained for 45 minute, no weapons or drugs were found and neither were arrested. video of the stop and search went viral on social media, it was widely circulated, and it led to the metropolitan police referring itself to the police watchdog, the iopc. independent 0ffice itself to the police watchdog, the iopc. independent office for police conduct. the five officers and acts police sergeant and five police constable, they are facing allegations of breaching professional standards of police conduct, if they are proven, they could lose theirjobs, they all deny any wrongdoing. rounded the world and across the uk,

we are hearing that a 16—year—old boy has been arrested, in connection with the felling of the sycamore gap tree, this is according to northumbria police, you might remember that police have been investigating the deliberate felling of that tree, which is one of the uk's most iconic tree, which appeared to have been cut down in an act of vandalism, it was apparently cut down overnight, police say they believe the tree, which is also known as robin hood's tree because it made an appearance in that film was felled deliberately. that is the breaks new, a 16—year—old boy has been arrested in connection with that incident. you are live with bbc some other breaking news from netherlands t police say three people have been wounded, in two

shooting incidents in the dutch city of rotterdam, the amp news agency says one suspect has been arrested, we we can go live to the hague and our correspondent. what details do we have about what has happened? i can confirm 32—year—old man from rotterdam has been arrested, dutch police have just announced rotterdam has been arrested, dutch police havejust announced on rotterdam has been arrested, dutch police have just announced on x formally twitter in the last ten minute, two separate shootings, one at a home near the university medical centre in rotterdam, and one actually inside, as far as i can tell from inside one of the classrooms, three people injured. i have been watching a video which appears to show the suspect being arrested, absolute chaos at the erasmus medical centre police, patient, staff, doctor, all outside evacuated. there are fears the government had gone inside, at first they couldn't find him but it seems

now he has indeed been arrested. 32—year—old man from rotter. dam has been detained. an investigation under way and police say they be giving more details at a press conference in two hours' time. we understand there is a massive police ofration ongoing, what more can you tell us about the area where this happened?— tell us about the area where this hauened? ~ , happened? well, so this was in the rounds, happened? well, so this was in the grounds. the _ happened? well, so this was in the grounds, the police, _ happened? well, so this was in the grounds, the police, the _ happened? well, so this was in the i grounds, the police, the ambulances, the swat teams are on the ground at the swat teams are on the ground at the medical centre and the shooting in a house near by happened a short time before that, still no indication adds to the motive, whether this indeed is the suspect. it seems as though they are not looking for anyone else now. a lot of shock though, obviously, live pages running on all the dutch news website, shootings are very rare in the netherlands, relatively rare in europe, so, lots of tweets the and comments from people asking whether

there is any terror motive. no suggestion of that at this stage, what police have said, is well, they have given a description of what this man was wearing, he appeared to have been wearing combat gear, headphones and he had dark hair, but the person that have arrested is a 32—year—old man from rotterdam and we will hear more in two hours' time. ~ ~ , ., we will hear more in two hours' time. ~ ~ , . , we will hear more in two hours' time. ~ ~ , ., , ., time. we will keep an eye on developments _ time. we will keep an eye on developments there. - trainee surgeons have started working with a new artificial intelligence tool that can help to guide them through complicated brain surgery. the technology is being developed at university college london, with the hope it can used during live surgery within two years, making the procedures safer and more effective. our global health correspondent tulip mazumdar reports. the future of health care is changing rapidly. here, machines have been learning how best to perform brain surgery, and now they're training

the surgeons of tomorrow. what are those structures here based on the ai? can you see these segmented structures? right and left carotid artery. yeah, correct. trainee surgeon nicola is one of the first to be using artificial intelligence to help her learn about keyhole surgery at the centre of the brain. today, she's training in a mock theatre on a pretend patient. so, here we see a simulated pituitary operation, and right in the centre of the screen is the pituitary tumour. the ai has learnt from analysing videos of this type of surgery where exactly the surgeon is in the brain and can help guide them at critical points. so, it's very useful because it principally helps me orientate myself during the surgery and helps me identify what steps and what stages are coming up next. and what's this in yellow on the ai? whilst the ai trains nicola, it's also quickly learning how to do

all this in real life. what we're hoping for is that, in the near future, in the next year or two, we will introduce this ai in theatres, in real time, in patients, to help support surgeons making those decisions during the operation and help provide a better quality of surgery. this ai system has learned from watching and analysing more than 200 videos of this type of surgery. it would take your average brain surgeon around ten years to gain that level of experience, but it's taken this ai around ten months. all right, should we have a look at the tumour resection phase? so it teaches the ai that today. like the technology itself, regulation around artificial intelligence in healthcare is still evolving. these are two of the specialists tasked with teaching the ai and ensuring patient safety. how do you make sure what you're teaching the ai is absolutely correct, that it's not going to sort of run away with itself with information that is possibly incomplete? so, the type of ai we use is called

supervised learning. so, everything that we put into it is something that we've taken a look at as an entire team of experts. and practically, that looks like myself and some of the other members of our team spending hundreds of hours making sure that the information we're feeding the al to teach it is as accurate as it can be. and here comes the tumour. this tech isn't replacing surgeons any time soon. it's still a human that will control the scalpel. but the possibilities for al in health care are endless. you could, in a few years, have an ai system that has seen more operations than any human has ever or could ever see. but that offers the opportunity for the al to offer insights that no surgeon has yet acquired. i'm very bullish that, in the medium to long term, we'll see ai supporting our work

as surgeons, notjust for pituitary surgery and neurosurgery, but for all types of surgery. a study suggests a significant number of the uk's wildlife species are at risk of dying out. the state of nature paper assessed ten thousand species of animals and plants, and found that i6% were threatened with extinction. the government has said it's committed to increasing the amount of habitat for nature to thrive. 0ur correspondent mark lobel has more. i'm outside the government's department for environment, food and rural affairs, surrounded by people who spend most of their time protecting the environment and today feeling the need to protest, and that is because of this state of nature report. and one of the organisations that have contributed to that are the world wildlife fund, and i am joined by one of their executive director, kate norgrove. kate, you have been tracking biodiversity for many years, so there were some dire findings in this report but perhaps not a surprise to you? not at all, and we are seeing this,

this gradual and distinct decline over many tens of years, of nature in the uk. we live in one of the most nature depleted countries in the world — we have lost 38 million birds from our skies in the last 3a years. and the reason we are all here, is because we can see the government is dithering and delaying on their net zero in nature targets and we are all really worried. you mentioned the government, the timing of this report is bad from that point of view, there was controversial decision made about new oil drilling, there was that decision to delay petrol and diesel car bans and also, most recently, the environmental laws that are going to be connected with new builds have been postponed. what impact is that having on business investment? it is having a really difficult impact on business, i talk to businesses every day of the week, as wwf, you know, some of the biggest names in the country,

in terms of business. you can see everyone is getting frustrated here because all these businesses are saying it is just this delay, how can we plan anything in our business, and if we don't know that government, when they set target they are going to stick to it, why should i invest in the uk? if we want to compete on the global stage, the we want to compete with the likes of the us and the eu, what we need is strong and stable policyer on climate and nature, we need that notjust for business and the economy, but also for our very survival, as species. there is some good news in the report, a silver lining if you like, that some of the conservation projects in wales and scotland have been working. what is the lesson from that? the lesson there really is if you leave nature to thrive and grow, then it will do, but what you need to do is to pay farmers, hard—working farmers that do so much to support our land, to restore nature, without that, that proper strong stable policy to support farmers in what they need, we are never going to get there,

so that is incredibly important. the other thing that is really important, though, is that this is a cross—party issue, it is so serious, we can't, you know, play politics with this, we have to commit across all parties, because we know poll after poll after poll tell us that the public really support action on nature and climate, so we need to see proper cross governmental response to this climate and nature responsibility. right. kate norgrove, from the world wildlife fund, thank you forjoining us here outside a noisy protest, there is plenty more on this report on the bbc website. let us remind you of some 06 the news line that have broken in the past hour, we got an update from northumbria police said a 16—year—old boy had been arrested in the connection with the felling of the connection with the felling of the sycamore gap tree, you remember that the police have been investigating the deliberate felling of the tree, one of the uk's most

iconic features which appeared to have been cut down in an act of vandalism. the large tree is at sycamore gap next to hadrian's wall in northumberland, and the tree, which is also known as robin hood's tree was deliberately felled, officials ask people to stay away and that news coming in that a 16—year—old boy has been arrested in connection with that, we have heard from 0fcom in this hour, that is the media regulator here in the uk, announcing they have launched an investigation into tuesday's episode of dan bootle tonight on gb new, he was suspended following comments made on his show by laurence fox. you are watching bbc news, stay with us, we have so much more ahead on verified live so don't go away. we will be right back with hello, tomorrow agnes has swirleded

away but that doesn't mean it is completely plain sailing weather—wise, as we head to the end of the day it will turn wet across some western parts, on the satellite picture you can see yesterday's storm system, this curl of cloud pushing away north—eastwards, but another weather system pushing in from the west, that will turn things increasingly wet and it is breezy out there, in fact windy up towards the north—west of the uk, outbreaks of rain developing in western parts, further east largely dry with hazy sunshine, i7 further east largely dry with hazy sunshine, 17 to 20 degrees and then through this evening we will see this band of rain moving across the west of scotland and northern ireland, could be heavy thundery bursts and squally winds and then turning really wet through the evening across parts of wales, particularly south wales into the midlands, some parts could see enough rain forflooding and localised disruption, that rain pushing towards the south—east corner, behind that, clearskies, further showers racing into the western side of scotland where it

will stay really windy, temperatures of 10 degrees in aberdeen and glasgow, buti6 of 10 degrees in aberdeen and glasgow, but 16 in london, a mild night down towards the south—east. where this weather front will be clearing away first thing in the morning, high pressure to the south of us, low pressure to the north, that will bring something of a split in weather fortune, that will bring something of a split in weatherfortune, it that will bring something of a split in weather fortune, it is a day of sunshine and showers but most of the showers in western and particularly north—west parts where it is going to stay windy gales are likely in the far north of scotland, the further south you are fewer showers, it should stay dry with sunshine, 18 degrees in cardiff. 19 in plymouth, a bit cooler further north, 1a in stornoway. now this area of high pressure toppling its waits through, will give a chilly night on friday and for saturday here comes another weather system, another bout of wet weather system, another bout of wet weather pushing across northern ireland, into scotland, further south and east it should stay largely dry, perhaps with sunshine lifting the temperatures to 20 or 21

degrees, could be warmer down towards the south—east on sunday, this band of cloud and showery rain in england and wales, further north a mix of sunny spells and showers, temperatures ranging from 15 to around 23 degrees. bye for
