over england last weekend, will certainly know they have a tough challenge ahead. they do though have plenty of motivation of their own, namely getting themselves back up to world number one. ireland have been right up there notjust the last ireland have been right up there not just the last few years i think the last ten years i think the last ten years they have been leading the way in a lot of areas so, yeah, i was as all blacks we like to be in the picture in terms of world number one so thatis terms of world number one so that is the crown they have at the moment and we want to play it at home. to cricket where pakistan have taken their one day series with australia to a deciding third match, after a thumping victory in adelaide. australia bowled out in just 35 overs for 163. haris rauf with 5 of the wickets. the batters then didn't waste too much time chasing that down, just over 26 overs it took them to win. the final match of that series is in perth on sunday.

of harrods on camera about sexual abuse allegations against mohamed al—fayed, the store's former owner. hundreds of women have alleged the billionaire raped or sexually abused them. harrods says it's engaged in a settlement process with more than 290 women. there are also separate legal claims being brought against the luxury department store. michael ward has been managing director of harrods since 2005. he worked with al—fayed until 2010, when new owners bought the business. he has previously said he did not know of any abuse, and said no formal complaints had been brought to him — although rumours of al—fayed's behaviour were in the public domain. bbc news have repeatedly asked to interview him and try and find out what was known by senior staff at harrods of the allegations at the time. but every time the request has been declined. in september, he stepped down from his role as a trustee of the royal ballet and opera, while an internal review at harrods was taking place. the department store has declined to tell us whether it's identified or taken any action against

anyone currently working there. it says its internal review is ongoing. ellie price, bbc news. the family of a nurse, who died after taking the weight—loss aid, tirzep—atide, is calling for greater awareness of drug risks, after the government announced plans to roll it out to some unemployed people to help them back to work. susan mcgowan is believed to be the first person in the uk whose death has been officially linked to the drug — also known as mawn—jaro. our reporter catriona macphee has more. # i see you! susan was such a bubbly person. she was really generous. she was really kind and she was the life of the party. she was everyone's auntie susie. i think susan always held a wee bit of extra weight and she just wanted to do something a bit different this time to try to lose weight may be a bit quicker. there were never any health concerns. she wasn't on any other medication. with a holiday coming up, susan visited an online

pharmacy and was prescribed tirzepatide under the brand name mounjaro. initially, she experienced minor side effects. but after two weeks on the lowest dose, she became very ill. she had severe sickness and went to a&e just a couple of days after the stomach pain started. it was two days after she was in accident and emergency that she basically went into a coma. and didn't wake up from it. and as she was in the coma, every organ started to fail. susan died in early september at the age of 58. her death certificate lists the cause of death as multiple organ failure, septic shock, pancreatitis, and use of prescribed tirzepadide. it was approved for use as a weight loss aid in the uk in 2023 by the medicines regulator the mhra. mhra runs the yellow card scheme... it runs yellow card scheme where any member of the public health profession can log reports of suspected side—effects. between january and may this year, there have been 208

reports about tirzepatide, including 31 classed as serious. and one suspected death of a man in his 60s. a spokesperson for lilly which produces mounjaro in the uk said: patient safety is lilly's top priority. - mounjaro was approved on extensive assessment of the benefits and risks of the medicine. a spokesperson for the mhra said this. our sincere sympathies are with the family of the individual concerned. no medicine would be approved unless it met our expected standards of safety, quality and effectiveness. tirzepatide is one of a group weight loss drugs known as glp—i receptors. they work by making the patient feel fuller for longer. these drugs have passed all the clinical trials needed to be approved for use in the uk and have been cautiously welcomed by those working to tackle obesity. on the basis of single cases, it is difficult to establish cause and effect, it really is. but in the vast majority of major outcomes, very common outcomes, trials are very

robust in trying to establish safety, that the drugs generally have substantial benefits that outweigh the risks. tirzepatide became the subject of national debate recently by the health secretary announced plans to roll it out to unemployed people to help them back into work. i think anything that is backed by the government you would trust. i would urge them to reconsider and do more research. i don't think there's been enough studies been completed at this point. bbc news asked the department of health and social care if it would review its decision in the wake of susan's death. the department declined to comment. what would you say to anyone thinking about taking these jabs? i would ask you to speak to your gp about these things first. there might be another option. i thought a lot about doing this interview because it wasn't fair to susan to share this information. however, i do feel in my heart that she would not want the same people facing what she did. that was jade campbell talking to our reporter

catriona macphee. that's it from me. much more coming up and more online. hello. for many of us the gloom feels everlasting and for some more than others. over the last 11 days parts of hampshire have seen just 18 minutes of seenjust 18 minutes of sunshine, over11 seen just 18 minutes of sunshine, over 11 days. seen just 18 minutes of sunshine, over11 days. clear skies at the moment coming in off canada. they will come in behind this weather system that will weaken as it gets towards on sunday but crucially sweep away a lot of that low cloud that has been lingering for days and days on end. that low cloud still with many of us today but there are some

brighter spots again. northern scotland blue sky for many, better brakes in the cloud towards the north—west of england this afternoon and for the west of wales again we could see sunshine but for most it stays murky, temperatures 11 to 14 it stays murky, temperatures 11 to 1a degrees. maybe up to 16 in the north of scotland. tonight the cloud sits in place for many but where we have the clearer skies a bigger drop in temperatures and across northern scotland we could see temperatures down to one or 2 degrees. for most of us six to 9 degrees. a bit milder in the west, patchy rain and drizzle tomorrow, cloud breaks possible tomorrow, cloud breaks possible to the north and north—west of scotland. a greater chance of sunshine in north—west england and north wales. many central and north wales. many central and eastern areas stick with the gloomy conditions and temperatures as they were, 11 to 14 temperatures as they were, 11 to 1a degrees. a bit higher where you get the sunshine in parts of north—west scotland. into remembrance sunday we have

extensive cloud to begin with but the thick cloud, the weather front will bring the change. into the afternoon sunshine. patchy rain or drizzle more extensively for england and wales into the afternoon. but before we clear the low cloud there could be breaks towards the south and east so we can't rule out at least a little bit of sunshine. the best chance of sunshine uk—wide comes on monday. the weather front players through, high pressure builds in and with it a lot more in the way of clear skies. it won't be completely clear skies throughout, it might turn cloudy throughout the day in western scotland and northern ireland but compared to what we have had of late summer sunshine welcomed more widely and temperatures 11 to 1a degrees. still a little bit above average for the of year. —— for the time of year.
