now with all the latest sport, here's lizzie. hello, good evening, matthew. we're starting with football — and tottenham's dominic solanke has been named in the england squad for their nations league matches against greece and finland this month. it's the striker�*s first call—up since his one and only cap back in 2017, when he was a substitute appearance against brazil. england manager lee carsley has also recalled kyle walker, phil foden, and jude bellingham — while harry maguire, tino livramento, jarrod bowen, and eberechi eze all miss out. with the squad that we've got, we've got so many talented players. always looking at finding the right balance, you know, who complements who in terms of the way that we play. i try not to get too caught up in positions and to positional — it's more the attributes and the way we can potentially attack the

opposition. well, northern ireland manager michael o'neill has also named his squad for their nations league c matches. strikerjamie reid has been recalled to the squad for the double—header against belarus and bulgaria. o'neill's side had a mixed start to their campaign, with a 2—0 win against luxembourg, followed by a 1—0 loss to bulgaria in september. you know, if you got a qualify in a major— you know, if you got a qualify in a major tournament or a challenge to qualify, _ major tournament or a challenge to qualify, these are games over a period _ qualify, these are games over a period of— qualify, these are games over a period of time you have to win. so we are _ period of time you have to win. so we are disappointed to lose a game in bulgaria, i thought we played well here — in bulgaria, i thought we played well here at home — i thought our performance in bulgaria was decent, but we _ performance in bulgaria was decent, but we lost _ performance in bulgaria was decent, but we lost a game due to individual error _ but we lost a game due to individual error~ of_ but we lost a game due to individual error. of course the players are still learning at this level, the finest— still learning at this level, the finest margins decide games. well, michael o'neill might take a break this afternoon from his nations league preparations to watch the northern ireland side larne take on molde in the uefa conference league. larne are the first irish premiership side

to reach the main draw of a european competition. they kick off in less than 15 minutes. it's unbelievable. i was at the champions league last night, and to be involved in this sort of tournament — yeah, everyone wants to play on the biggest age of the mall, to be on tv across the world will be incredible. —— of them all. wejust have to go out there and hopefully our game plan works to perfection — because we all need it, to be honest. larne are one of seven british sides in action tonight in both the europa and conference leagues. tottenham are in hungary, to face ferencvaros, while hearts take on dinamo minsk. later tonight, manchester united are in portugal to face porto, rangers host lyon, chelsea welcome belgium side gent, while welsh side the new saints are in italy to face fiorentina. on to some sad news — and lord herman ousely, the founder of the anti—discrimination charity, kick it out, has died at the age

of 79 after a short illness. he was chair of the organisation for 25 years. previously he was the executive chairman at the campaign for racial equality and started the "let's kick racism out of football" campaign in the �*90s, which developed into kick it out. lord ouseley was knighted in 1997 and sat in the house of lords as a crossbencher until his retirement five years ago. finally some cricket — and scotland's women's first—ever t20 world cup match has ended in defeat. having lost the toss and been asked to field, scotland restricted bangladesh to 119—7 from their 20 overs, as saskia horley took three wickets forjust 13 runs. in reply, opening batter sarah bryce led the way with an unbeaten a9, but regular wickets to the bangladeshi spinners meant scotland couldn't build a match—winning partnership, and they fell 16 runs short.

and that's all the sport for now. was we are watching the sports headlines, reuters news agency is reporting that iraq has attacked a target in southern israel. we heard half an hour ago from the israeli military saying they had intercepted a drone in southern israel with no injuries. it's not quite clear whether those two things are and i could, but it gives you an indication ofjust the level of concern there is in the whole of that wider region with so much focus now on how israel will respond to that attack by iran in the last couple days. president biden says he's talking to israel about the

possibility it could attack iran's energy sector in retaliation for this week's missile brought on israel. his comment immediately because the price of crude oil to surge by 5%. joe biden was speaking as israel continued its strikes against lebanon. these are some of the live pictures of the capital, beirut, there have been 200 targets it across the country in the last 2a hours according to the idf and some very large blasts in the capital beirut. israel thinks that getting into lebanon will sort the problem of hezbollah. in both cases, it failed. israel is now one year in gaza and

nothing was sorted there. now it'll repeat its very same mistake in lebanon, which is much more complicated because his brother is a much stronger organisation, and it's really regrettable that israel, again and again, repeatedly makes mistakes, and their minds that still sees war as a solution to anything. isn't this time different, though? benjamin netanyahu would argue, "look what's happened over the past two weeks," they've taken out hezbollah�*s leader, they've taken out half the fighters, they've taken out half the fighters, they've taken out about half the arsenal — perhaps there is a way of ridding hezbollah from the map? that's his argument. war is only one through diplomacy and political agreements. it will never be once and for all. yes, there is a hubris now because they

were —— there were very impressive military achievements in the last two weeks, but where do they lead us? hezbollah is an organisation with 150,000 fighters. so you killed their commanders — there will be new ones, may be more dangerous. there will be a cease—fire finally, there will be a cease—fire finally, there will be a cease—fire finally, there will be sometime passing until the next war will come — but how can a live from war to war and don't present any other vision but the next war? chryston notes and is the head of the court and... she described to me the court and... she described to me the scale of the crisis now for the people in lebanon. the scale is simply catastrophic. we've had over the last year seen

people forced to flee from their homes, and more immediately over the past two weeks, and escalation the likes of which the country hasn't seen for nearly 20 years. two weeks ago, with the explosions of pagers and walkie—talkie devices — which also of course affected civilians who were going about their daily lives, the country was plunged into a health—care crisis. and now with the escalation of air strikes expanding to more and more parts of the country, people receiving displacement orders, sometimes only with 15 minutes notice and in the middle of the night, at three a:m., instructions to flee their areas because air strikes are coming, we've had massive displacement. find we've had massive displacement. and do --eole we've had massive displacement. and do people know where to go when they hear these warnings and are given such a small space of time? do

people know what to do probably? know, it is part of the difficulty that we are dealing with, that there isn't the manageable system when you have so little time. so little warning to be able to direct people where to go. so they are fleeing with what little they can carry — what they are wearing basically — and just trying to get away to open spaces away from where they've been warned to go, and ourjobs as humanitarians is to find them shelter. the government's their own up shelter. the government's their own up more than a hundred of its schools to provide shelter to nearly a million people who have been displaced and indirectly affected by the escalation there.— the escalation there. kristin knutsen from _ the escalation there. kristin knutsen from the _ the escalation there. kristin knutsen from the un - the escalation there. kristin knutsen from the un they l the escalation there. kristin l knutsen from the un they are the escalation there. kristin - knutsen from the un they are in beirut, talking to me earlier. 0ne beirut, talking to me earlier. one other line — british airways say

their london to tel aviv flights have been suspended until the end of the month, so they've suspended the flights until the end of this month. a court's heard how a police firearms officer shot a man dead in south london two years ago, believing "one or many" officers could be killed as the suspect tried to escape. martyn blake, from the metropolitan police, is accused of murdering 24—year—old chris ka ba. he denies any wrongdoing. let's speak to our correspondent adina campbell, who's outside the old bailey, in central london. adina, what more can you tell us? well, the first two witnesses have been giving evidence here this afternoon. speaking anonymously behind a screen, the first witness — given the codename ha 62 — told the court that martin blake was calm and had sound judgment on the night chris kaba was killed. when asked if

he was angry, frustrated or annoyed, he was angry, frustrated or annoyed, he said, "no, never." a second officer was 16 years armed police experienced — using the codename ac 38 - experienced — using the codename ac 38 — he told the jury that the right of letting the suspect go is not an option, he said, "we would not be doing our duty as police officers and it would simply be immoral to do nothing." he told the court that chris kaba's car had been linked to a shooting in a previous night, and that's what raise concerns. the defence barrister told the jury that the circumstances surrounding chris kaba's death happened once, fast, and without warning. he is said that firearms officers had the terrible decision of whether to use lethal force, that's what the job was. earlier today, thejury force, that's what the job was. earlier today, the jury and force, that's what the job was. earlier today, thejury and courts are more footage — dashcam and police — of the night where chris

kaba was killed. the footage itself showed armed officers swarming chris kaba's car in about 15 seconds from when the police surrounded the car to when the gunshot was fired — that's what you and see what happened that night, how the police operation was unfolding. chris kaba died from a single gunshot wound to the head the following day in hospital. now martin blake, who's 40, is a firearms officer within the metro vault and police — he denies murder in the trial continues. metro vault and police - he denies murder in the trial continues. thank ou ve murder in the trial continues. thank you very much- _ murder in the trial continues. thank you very much- -- _ murder in the trial continues. thank you very much. -- metropolitan - you very much. -- metropolitan police. around 100,000 newborn babies in the uk are being tested for genetic diseases as part of a new study which aims to improve diagnosis and treat britain's national health service has begun sequencing the entire genetic code of up to 100,000 newborn babies in england, as part of what it describes as "world—leading research". dr sophia varadkar works in great 0rmond street hospital as a consultant paediatric neurologist, and was involved in setting up this study.

there's over 200 diseases, but a couple of examples — there are a rare genetic diseases where babies don't plot their blood properly, they are lacking in clotting factors. as newborn babies, they can have leads into their brains that cause long—term damage. so if you can make that diagnosis soon, you start the treatment and prevent that. another is babies you have a rare cause of drops in their blood sugar — which cause brain damage and seizures. another area is spiner muscular atrophy. so these are little children who would die younger would never be able to — now if we can get children done early, we can see some of these children walking and having a chance of a really good life. that walking and having a chance of a really good life.— really good life. that really is incredible _ really good life. that really is incredible if _ really good life. that really is incredible if it _ really good life. that really is incredible if it turns - really good life. that really is incredible if it turns out - really good life. that really is incredible if it turns out to i really good life. that really is incredible if it turns out to be exactly what you describe.

but currently without this, tell me what actually happens, what difference what you're hoping to actually map out in the coming years and what currently is happening. so, as it currently is, when parents begin to suspect something's wrong — and parents are very good at that, they realise, "there's something wrong with my baby," and then they start to look for answers. they'll see their general practitioner, they'll see paediatricians, and, with really good care for rare diseases, it can take time to find the answer. we sometimes call this the "diagnostic odyssey". so, months and years where everyone knows there has to be a reason we can't find it. so, scans, blood tests, spinal fluid tests, muscle tests. and then, at the end, a diagnosis — which hopefully would give a treatment. so the idea here is that we can make that diagnosis before the child even begins to show that something's wrong, get the treatment in early, change the course of that disease, treat it — or in some instances, take away the effects of that disease completely. a quick double final thought, because we've only got a minute left. is this only for diseases

that have treatments? and longer—term, are you hoping that potentially this becomes just a routine test? yes — so at the moment, it is selected for over 200 diseases, all of which have got a treatment available for that baby in the nhs. in the future, we see advances being that there are more treatments available for these rare diseases. so, if this study works out really well, this could be offered to every single baby, just like they currently get the heel prick. and with the opportunity of making these diagnoses much sooner and much earlier really the power of genomics. let's speak to gemma charnock, who joins us with her partner, jimmy, and their baby, joshua. before we get going, i've watched you they are on our feed for about 20 minutes — you have the best behaved baby i've seen at that age. so congratulations for a start on

all of that! so tell me, why did you take part in this study?— all of that! so tell me, why did you take part in this study? thank you - when we heard _ take part in this study? thank you - when we heard about _ take part in this study? thank you - when we heard about it, _ take part in this study? thank you - when we heard about it, it - take part in this study? thank you - when we heard about it, itjust - take part in this study? thank you -| when we heard about it, itjust made sense to us because itjust gave an opportunity, if there was a condition thatjoshua had, that you'd be able to get treatment early. obviously we really hope they don't find anything — but if they do, it means that he would be able to be treated before he sees any symptoms. and also the fact that it's noninvasive, so they take a sample from the umbilical cord after he is born, so there's no pain for him or anything. he is born, so there's no pain for him oranything. itjust he is born, so there's no pain for him or anything. itjust felt like a no—brainerfor us, really. find him or anything. itjust felt like a no-brainer for us, really. and how did ou no-brainer for us, really. and how did you both _ no-brainer for us, really. and how did you both hear— no-brainer for us, really. and how did you both hear about _ no-brainer for us, really. and how did you both hear about it? - no-brainer for us, really. and how did you both hear about it? do - no-brainer for us, really. and how| did you both hear about it? do you want to tell _ did you both hear about it? do you want to tell them? _ did you both hear about it? do you want to tell them? i _ did you both hear about it? do you want to tell them? i work - did you both hear about it? do you want to tell them? i work in - did you both hear about it? do you want to tell them? i work in it - did you both hear about it? do you want to tell them? i work in it at l did you both hear about it? do you j want to tell them? i work in it at a local nhs hospital _ want to tell them? i work in it at a local nhs hospital when _ want to tell them? i work in it at a local nhs hospital when i - want to tell them? i work in it at a local nhs hospital when i was - local nhs hospital when i was installing computers for the team, i mentioned — installing computers for the team, i mentioned we were expecting, and their eyes— mentioned we were expecting, and their eyes just mentioned we were expecting, and their eyesjust lit up, encouraging us to— their eyesjust lit up, encouraging us to sign— their eyesjust lit up, encouraging us to sign up for the research. and was there us to sign up for the research. fific was there anything in us to sign up for the research. fific was there anything in your background that sort of prompted you

to think, "you know what, this makes sense for us"? to think, "you know what, this makes sense for m"?— to think, "you know what, this makes sense for us"?— sense for us"? nothing in terms of uenetic sense for us"? nothing in terms of genetic conditions, _ sense for us"? nothing in terms of genetic conditions, but _ sense for us"? nothing in terms of genetic conditions, but before - sense for us"? nothing in terms of genetic conditions, but before we | genetic conditions, but before we had joshua, we'd had a few miscarriages and were struggling to have a successful pregnancy. we found it quite difficult to get answers to what was the cause — and really, itjust made us realise how important scientific research is, and the positive impact it can have. so when we had that study, we were able to contribute so much to a study that would help joshua and further children, it seemed like a good. further children, it seemed like a aood. �* . , further children, it seemed like a aood. . ., , , good. and it was so interesting listeninu good. and it was so interesting listening to _ good. and it was so interesting listening to the _ good. and it was so interesting listening to the doctor- good. and it was so interesting l listening to the doctor explaining how it works — but was there any nervousness at all amongst the two of you about potentially what you might find out? i of you about potentially what you might find out?— of you about potentially what you might find out? i think i wasn't too nervous, because _ might find out? i think i wasn't too nervous, because 99% _ might find out? i think i wasn't too nervous, because 99% of - might find out? i think i wasn't too nervous, because 99% of cases, i might find out? i think i wasn't too i nervous, because 99% of cases, they won't find anything and we, touch wood, that would be the case. so

we'd rather know sooner than later. and what have they told you about the information they'll give you over the sort of timeline? so we should find _ over the sort of timeline? so we should find out _ over the sort of timeline? so we should find out probably - over the sort of timeline? so we should find out probably in - over the sort of timeline? so we should find out probably in the l should find out probably in the coming months — they said it would take a couple months — and if there's nothing to report and everything looks clear, it'lljust be relief all around. and if they do find something that could be a condition, we'll get a phone call and then a referral to a gp, and stuff. so that way, we're just waiting to see what happens now. just a final thought — i was talking to fergus walsh, or medical editor, and this goes on for years in terms of potential information, and one of theissues of potential information, and one of the issues he raised was the ethical issue of, at a future date, do you find out about something, do you ask about something, are you prone to any of these conditions? i suppose

those decisions, you'll have to make over a number of years, won't you? yeah. yeah, definitely, we'd have to consider that. and obviously we are making the decision forjoshua before he is able to make it for himself — but i think once he's 16, himself — but i think once he's16, he gets to decide whether he continues to have his data involved in the study. but it is a long—term commitment, but it's also still that ongoing opportunity that they might discover something in the future either help joshua discover something in the future either helpjoshua or his children. so it feels like a positive thing. it is such a positive story, we were making the point there are so many distressing stories we cover — this is absolutely the opposite of that. i'll quit whilst i'm ahead and the babyis i'll quit whilst i'm ahead and the baby is still behaving, so thank you so much forjoining us on the programme, thanks for your time. thank you. programme, thanks for your time. thank you-— as we heard in sport,

lord herman ouseley, the veteran anti—discrimination campaigner, has died at the age of 79. the news was confirmed by the charity kick it out — which lord 0useley founded to tackle racism in football. let's speak to to troy townsend, a former footballer and fellow anti—racism activist. thank you so much for being here with us. he was just a titan of a campaigner, wasn't he? with us. he wasjust a titan of a campaigner, wasn't he? honestly i think he was _ campaigner, wasn't he? honestly i think he was the _ campaigner, wasn't he? honestly i think he was the best. _ campaigner, wasn't he? honestly i think he was the best. i _ campaigner, wasn't he? honestly i think he was the best. i don't - campaigner, wasn't he? honestly i j think he was the best. i don't think i'll be able to do enough words to dojustice to the i'll be able to do enough words to do justice to the man he was. but i'm very gratefulfor do justice to the man he was. but i'm very grateful for what he taught me and how to approach the industry, and to tackle racism and discrimination. not only in football, but in society for about 50 years — i really don't know how he continued to do it, but he's a who stood on principle, he talked the talk, told his truth no matter who he was talking to. and i think you mentioned there, he was a titan of this industry for many footballers.—

of this industry for many footballers. �* , . footballers. and when he started - there's so much _ footballers. and when he started - there's so much attention - footballers. and when he started - there's so much attention now- footballers. and when he started - there's so much attention now and| there's so much attention now and all this, and i know there is still some racism in the game — but you're talking about a period when he started his work we routinely, players would be narrowed, bananas thrown on the pitch, everything — it was extraordinary, the work he was actually involved in to try to actually involved in to try to actually change all that. irate]!!! actually involved in to try to actually change all that. well look, he started let's _ actually change all that. well look, he started let's kick _ actually change all that. well look, he started let's kick racism - actually change all that. well look, he started let's kick racism out i he started let's kick racism 0ut because of the image of the player picking off the banana peel off the pitch. they bear out every time they played and performed for the stadiums, this is why he started the organisation and created the strength and power, which was not accepted by anybody to start with. it was formed one year after the

premier league's existence, and everything was about the glitz and glamour of the premier league — but here was herman saying, "no, there's other stuff you need to focus on and concentrate on." they had to tell them they were still being victims, and i applaud the man for what it started and how he continued his journey in this space. find journey in this space. and everything. _ journey in this space. and everything, all— journey in this space. and everything, all that - journey in this space. and everything, all that journey was really difficult. what do you think his legacy is? his really difficult. what do you think his legacy is?— his legacy is? his legacy is everyone _ his legacy is? his legacy is everyone that's _ his legacy is? his legacy is everyone that's worked i his legacy is? his legacy is i everyone that's worked within his legacy is? his legacy is - everyone that's worked within the industry, whether black or brown, every bun that is trying to make change, everyone who continues to work and speak in the way that he's done for many years. for me, i'm proud to be a part of that legacy, proud to be a part of that legacy, proud to be a part of that legacy, proud to be a part of herman, who has a legacy that existed from 1993, but he also empowered me to engage, to challenge, to support and be at

the very forefront of the tackle against discrimination and what supposed to be our beautiful game. so he's let everyone have their own about what he's done for them, but i'm proud of the time i had with him and what he taught me — even after he left the organisation. you and what he taught me - even after he left the organisation.— he left the organisation. you made the oint he left the organisation. you made the point and _ he left the organisation. you made the point and other— he left the organisation. you made the point and other interviews - he left the organisation. you made the point and other interviews thatj the point and other interviews that he taught you so much — what were the hardest bits, do you think, in terms of tackling some of those obvious problems? what was the resistance? the obvious problems? what was the resistance?— resistance? the hardest bit was talkin: to resistance? the hardest bit was talking to the _ resistance? the hardest bit was talking to the authorities, - resistance? the hardest bit was talking to the authorities, the i talking to the authorities, the decision makers, letting them know that racism and its cremation was still existing in their leaks, and that they needed to act fast. —— in their leagues. it wasn't simple because everybody wasn't on the same page. the way that he used to speak to those people, they had to listen.

look, i think there was a huge sigh of relief when herman eventually left let's kick it out because it seemed like things to be quieter — but there were a lot of people who took herman's battle, and that's the biggest thing is what he's left us with. i know he'd be proud today of what is happening and how the challenge continues. irate what is happening and how the challenge continues.— what is happening and how the challenge continues. we are coming to the end of _ challenge continues. we are coming to the end of the _ challenge continues. we are coming to the end of the programme, - challenge continues. we are coming to the end of the programme, but i challenge continues. we are coming to the end of the programme, but a | to the end of the programme, but a wonderful tribute from you to him, so thank you forjoining us on the programme on what is a difficult and sad day for everyone who knew him. thanks so much for being here on the programme. let me show you the live photos from beirut — of course, we see more israeli attacks through the course of the last 24 hours, 200 or so is with the idf has said, most of them in the south of lebanon but some large strikes also in beirut. the us

president saying that israel is considering hitting iran's oil facilities, which has led to a spike in oil prices. 20 more on that here on bbc news in the coming hours, thanks for watching, see you next time. that's plenty more on that here on bbc news. good evening. well, after a chilly start today, we all got the long—awaited sunshine we've been craving after such a wet september. this was staffordshire a little earlier on, but it was a fairly familiar story right across the country — all thanks to high pressure, which is slowly starting to drift its way steadily eastwards. and it will allow the door to open to this weather front into the northwest, bringing some showery outbreaks of rain. it will prevent temperatures from falling too far, but elsewhere, under those clear skies, expect the temperatures to fall away once again. low single figures in sheltered rural areas of england and wales. a touch of frost and patchy fog is likely first thing in the morning. but as we go through the day, we'll continue to see this north—south divide across england and wales.

after that sunny start, we'll have fair weather cloud developing. but temperatures are still likely to peak between 15—17 celsius. maybe cloudy skies and a few scattered showers into the isle of man, more overcast and damp across northern ireland, with showery outbreaks of rain into western scotland. sheltered eastern areas should stay driest for longest. highs here of 13—14 celsius. so, as we move out of friday into the start of the weekend, the high pressure continues to lose its grip and allows anotherfront to push in — this one will bring some more heavy and persistent rain with it. so, once again, we'll see double digits to greet us first thing on saturday. but still a chilly start for england and wales — that's where we'll have the best of the sunshine throughout the day on saturday. some of this rain could turn quite heavy, though, on saturday, through northern ireland and into scotland, gradually pushing its way steadily northwards and eastwards. the wind direction swinging around to a southerly — it might feel a degree or so warmer, despite the temperatures suggesting

a similar story, 14—17 celsius. but saturday night is the night where that front will continue to push its way quite widely across the country, and it will bring a spell of wet weather as it does so. so, wet and windy through the early hours of sunday morning — that trails away, and you can see how it'll stay pretty unsettled with plenty of showers developing. and thatjust opens the floodgates for yet more unsettled weather as we move through the week ahead, particularly from wednesday onwards. that's it, take care.

mostly uninhabited — here between mauritius
