Saudi arabias Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman has said he takes responsibility, as a leader of his country, for the murder of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi a year ago this week, but again denied he had ordered the killing. He was interviewed on cbss 60 minutes programme. Well have more from that in a moment. Separately, two people whove listened to covert recordings of the killing of mr khashoggi have described to the bbc what they heard. Members of a Un Investigation Team have told the bbcs Panorama Programme of the horror and shock of listening to his final moments. Jane corbin has this report. A year ago, on the 2nd of october, Jamal Khashoggi vanished after entering the saudi consulate in istanbul. We only know what happened next because the consulate was bugged by turkish intelligence. You could hear them laughing. Its a sort of chilling business. Theyre waiting there, knowing that this man is going to come in and he is going to be murdered. British barrister, helena kennedy, is one of the very few people who have listened to the audio recordings of the journalists death. The horror of listening to somebodys voice and the fear in someones voice makes a shiver go through your body. Baroness kennedy was invited to join a team headed by agnes callamard, the un special rapporteur for extrajudicial killing, who negotiated access to the crucial tapes. The recordings reveal what happened to the journalist inside the consulate. He says, am i being kidnapped . How could this happen in an embassy . The sounds that are heard after that point indicate that he is suffocated, probably with a plastic bag. Callamards report concluded that the saudi state was responsible for the murder. The saudi government declined to give an interview to panorama but said it condemned the abhorrent killing, and it was committed to holding the perpetrators accountable. It said that the crown prince had absolutely nothing to do with what it called a heinous crime. Jane corbin, bbc news.

Sure to catch t in the interview with cbs, Saudi Crown Prince denied knowing about the murder of mr khashoggi in advance, saying it was impossible for him to know about the activities of every Civil Servant in saudi arabia. He was speaking to norah odonnell, who began by asking him whether he ordered the killing. Translation absolutely not. This was a heinous crime. But i take full responsibility, as a leader in saudi arabia, especially since it was committed by individuals working for the saudi government. What does that mean, that you take responsibility . Translation when a crime is committed against a saudi citizen by officials working for the saudi government, as a leader, i must take responsibility. This was a mistake and i must take all actions to avoid such a thing in the future. How did you not know about this operation . Translation some think that i should know what 3 Million People working for the saudi government do daily. Its impossible that the 3 million would send their daily reports to the leader or the second highest person in the saudi government. The cia has concluded, with medium to high confidence, that you personally targeted khashoggi and you probably ordered his death. Translation i hope this information to be brought forward. If there is any such information that charges me, i hope it is brought forward publicly. What kind of threat is a newspaper columnist to the kingdom of saudi arabia that he would deserve to be brutally murdered . Translation there is no threat from any journalist. The threat to saudi arabia is from such actions against a saudi journalist. This heinous crime that took place in a saudi consulate. That is Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman speaking.

Four years after the dieselgate emissions cheating scandal, volkswagen finds itself in court today, facing compensation claims from thousands of car owners in germany. Around 450,000 people havejoined a first of its kind group legal action, a case being watched by car owner elsewhere in europe who have owners elsewhere in europe who have plans for their own legal action. Eileen burbidge, a partner at passion capital and a technology entrepreneurjoins me now. Good morning. When this story broke, it was so shocking, i remember it well, and the ramifications were huge and it is still being felt by the car industry now. Absolutely. I think it will carry on for years and yea rs, think it will carry on for years and years, so think it will carry on for years and years, so for vw, this is going to cost them dearly. It would be very interesting to see how this works out. As you say, people in the uk and europe were watching this case, but it could take years and years. It will definitely take years, even as early as february 2018, they first started making settlements and they did with some us customers, about 500 thousand us customers were paid out about 25 billion. That was one of the very first. Now, for european consumers, another 450,000 consumers affected, and two weeks ago the chief executive, the former chief executive and the nonexecutive chairman all accused of, charges brought against them for manipulation and fraud. It is coming toa manipulation and fraud. It is coming to a head, but what has to be proved in this case is whether vw drivers suffered Economic Loss or not. That is the kind of legal line they have two cross, as it were. Actually, from the point of view of vw saying they havent. That is what this case hinges on. There is apparently 50 questions that have to be answered, but the key one is whether they cause harm to these owners, and there are different questions about there are different questions about the value of the vehicle, resale value in terms of economic damage, but also harm to oneself because of the readings of the emissions being different and fixed. It comes at a tough time because all the big carmakers globally are really struggling. For the german carmakers they have seen a massive drop off in sales in china. It isntjust exclusive to vw. This is having long term ramifications and ripple effects throughout the automotive industry. Thank you for now. You will be back later.

A fire at an overcrowded refugee camp on the greek island of lesbos is reported to have killed two people. An angry crowd at the moria camp complained that firefighters had taken too long to tackle the blaze. Extra police were sent to restore order. Tim allman has the story. Thick, billowing clouds of smoke as part of this camp burns. Somehow, one of the giant shipping containers that house many of the refugees here had caught fire. People ran for their lives, men, women and children, eyes burning from the noxious fumes. Afterwards, you could see the destroyed remains of the container. Some voiced their anger, accusing fire crews of taking too long to respond, but mostly, there was despair. Look at the people here, fighting look at that. Look, theres fire, big fire, yeah, big fire people are going to die. Please, please, from everywhere, country, leave the people to go. The moria camp houses around 12,000 refugees, four times the number it was designed for. There has been a spike in numbers in recent months with 9,000 people arriving in august and more than 8,000 refugees coming in september so far. By some estimates, almost a Million People, many of them fleeing the syrian civil war, crossed from turkey to greece in 2015. Then a deal was done between ankara and the European Union and the number of refugees dropped dramatically. But now, that figure is ticking up once more and this fire shows the burden being placed on greece can be a heavy one. Tim allman, bbc news. Stay with us on bbc news.

So they called me on my skype call and i remember standing outside because i had to step outside. It was clear blue skies and, when this call came through, they told me, how is the weather in uganda . So you know when you get a call like that you want to put all the sophistication into that answer. I was like, well, it is bright, it is bright because we lie on the equator, we enjoy this weather all throughout and then they told me, 0k.

Ill be back with the Business Briefing in just a few moments. We have some interesting stories to unpack later. I will see you injust a moment. After what has been a wet weekend in the uk, things have been drying out over recent hours but we start off on a chilly night before rain returns again from the south west. So starting off with some mist patches around, it actually tends to lift and clear and then we see a decent amount of sunshine but this rain returns from the south west, across the south west of england into wales where some spots over high ground could see a further 70mm, close to 3 inches in rain getting into the midlands by the end of the day. To the north, some showers across scotland and it will be on the chilly side, 11 degrees in aberdeen with generally quite a lot of dry weather for scotland and Northern England. As we go through one day night, the rain pushes northwards into southern scotland, rain in Northern Ireland as well and to the south of that, showers returning, a mild night in the south but a chilly start to Tuesday Morning across the northern half of scotland. As we go through tuesday, this area of low pressure just starts to swing eastwards. That will drive further showers along with spells of rain. Perhaps thunder and lightning again. You can see this wet weather permitting its way southeastwards across england and wales. For Northern Ireland and scotland, brighter skies and sunshine but some showers into northern scotland which could be wintry over the highest mountains because temperatures at best will get to 9 degrees in aberdeen and as we move out of tuesday and wednesday, that low pressure drifts away to the east. Look at the white lines, the isobars come from a long way north. That is where you will be coming from, very chilly feel on wednesday. In fact we could start off with a touch of frost in places, all the way down to freezing perhaps for some spots in the countryside in Northern England and central and southern portions of scotland. As we go through the day after that chilly start, actually we will see a decent amount of blue sky and sunshine, a crisp autumn day. One or two showers down these north sea coasts where it will be quite windy and those are the afternoon highs, 11 14 degrees. As we edge towards the end of the week, those temperatures are set to rise again. The chance for some wet and windy weather to return. A huge amount of uncertainty about that but before we get there, rain at first through the week ahead, then it turns chilly for the middle of the week, milder later with the chance of some unsettled weather through thursday and friday. Use a way will you are all you will
