Time now for un spun world. Hello, and thanks for joining me for unspun world here at the bbc� s london headquarters. The world is in a parlous state, we know that. But supposing the main, the dominant western country, the united states, were to be run by a man who had Open Contempt for nato, admired Vladimir Putin and kimjong un, but seemed to be spoiling for a fight with china. Well, according to one opinion poll this week, that man could be ten points ahead ofjoe biden in the opinion polls. Well, in one opinion poll, that could easily be an anomaly. Yet none of the western governments whose doings i monitor on a daily basis seems to have made the slightest preparation for the possibility that donald trump might very well be back in office in 16 months time. Do me a favour. Just get your union guys, your leaders, to endorse me. Cheering other that is than to pray it doesnt happen. The odds are still probably slightly against a trump victory, but it would create a massive upheaval, not least in russias war against ukraine. Only three months ago in that war, Vladimir Putin seemed to be on the ropes as a result of the mutiny by his most effective ally, Yevgeny Prigozhin. But now. Theres lots of distrust and also fear from people who are close enough to mr putin that something that happened to prigozhin could happen to them if they disappoint the big boss. 70 years after women got the vote in mexico the two main candidates at next years election will, as things stand, both be women. What effect will that have on a country so traditionally macho . Theres been a real push to make sure that there is representation from women within politics at all levels. So that is something of a dramatic change. And africa, after the years of hope, is it time to despair again . You have a generation of young men, young women, very frustrated, frustrated with the lack of democracy, frustrated with the growing unemployment. Fatally damaged. That was the kind of expression a lot of western commentators and russia experts were using about Vladimir Putins Leadership Back injune, when the violent, unpredictable warlord Yevgeny Prigozhin staged his apparent coup attempt and his men headed up the road to moscow. It was wishful thinking. Prigozhins plane mysteriously crashed last month and no one seems to be challenging putin any more. For now anyway. So how stable is his position post prigozhin, i ask famil ismailov, news editor of bbc russian . 0n the surface what we see, President Putin has become even stronger. People sort of still support him. He appears here and there, shaking hands and being at very close proximity, which wasnt expected from him since the days of pandemic, of covid pandemic. And secondly, we could see him quite active in trying to shore up russias reputation with, especially with china, with turkey being quite active in trying to push russias agenda abroad, but at the same time inside the country. So on the surface, we see that no damage has been done to his reputation. But how do we know it . Theres no Public Opinion polls that we could trust. Theres not much that could give us any signs of if the elite is supporting mr putin as much as it used to before prigozhin affair. And we can only guess that theres lots of distrust and also fear from people who are close enough to mr putin that something that happened to prigozhin could happen to them if they disappoint the big boss. We can say that his power is intact. At the moment. At the moment, at least for now. What would threaten that . The only thing that could threaten that would be if we could see. Combined effort by The Russian Elite that holds key to the main income of the main russian financial flows inside russia and within russia, like from sales of oil, gas and lots of other incoming assets, money. And also if those people from elite will have enough support within Security Apparatus in order to provide any possible opposition or any possible threat to putins power. At the moment, the Security Apparatus is totally behind mr putin, and the elite are extremely scared. Prigozhin was a person who was very close to mr putin, was trusted by mr putin, and All Of A Sudden the man who was such a close friend, who could just call him directly, dies in such a spectacular way. I do understand why russian elite is so nervous. Some people have been saying that if ukraine manages to capture the whole of, or part of, crimea, putin couldnt survive that. What do you think . It sort of doesnt ring true to me. Ill explain why. Of course, crimea is a big, it was at least in 2014, a big pet project for mr putin, but so were lots of other things. Taking over ukraine in seven days was probably also a pet project. It didnt work and theres nothing wrong with that. As we can see, putin still there and the army is still battling almost two years on and putin is still there. So i dont think that the loss of even the whole lot of the lands and crimea included would do anything to putins reputation. He will find a way to explain whats going on. Thats one thing. The other thing is, it is, i dont think they see it that way. They dont think that there is ever a Strong Enough ukraine with Strong Enough weapons to withstand a pressure from a nuclear power. Hes miscalculated the whole ukrainian affair. So my thinking is maybe this miscalculation continues further. Time passes by, the west gets tired of supporting ukraine, and russia, which is way bigger than ukraine in terms of manpower, in terms of production power, military production power, will continue churning out people who will die on the front line and continue churning out missiles raining on ukraine when everybody will get tired and say, ok, lets stop and start negotiate. And he will present that as a victory. I think his vision is something along the lines of this. Can i turn to another conflict which has flared up again, the one between armenia and azerbaijan over Nagorno Karabakh. How does that relate to the ukrainian war or doesnt it . Theres a direct link between ukrainian war and with what happened in Nagorno Karabakh. If there wasnt a ukraine war, azerbaijan would probably think twice before launching another operation. So at the moment, we have about 2,000 Russian Military in Nagorno Karabakh with peacekeeping mission. They obviously dont have air support. They basically are lightly equipped because its a peacekeeping force, its there to keep peace and order and not conduct defensive or offensive operations. Turkey militarily supported azerbaijan from the very beginning in 2020 war, which lasted 44 days and now which was basically a one day operation. And armenians didnt have that support from russia. Russia was quiet in 2020 and was even quieter in 2023. The main thing is that russia is very much tied up in ukraine. When russian army failed so much on ukrainian front line and russias military prowess, reputation has suffered as a result, so the governments in all those former soviet countries, they look at russia with a bit of fear, but dont find russia as threatening as it used to be before. Mexico is one of those Latin American countries which has traditionally seemed to embody the notion of patriarchy. It was only in 1953 that women got the vote there, and even at the turn of this century, the Mexican Senate was 80 male. Suddenly, all thats changed. A majority of mexican senators are now women. And as things stand, both the main candidates for the president ial election next year will be women. How important is this transformation for mexico . Katy watson, the bbc south america correspondent. I think the fact that there are two women, one of whom is expected to win the elections, is a massive deal. Certainly its been talked about all the way down here in sao paulo. Mexico is a country that is traditionally known for being very macho. The fact that two women will be facing each other in next years elections is clearly a huge step in this region, in mexico, but in the region as a whole. But do you see any signs of a change in Mexican Society that kind of parallels this political change . Well, i think there are two sides of it. I mean, theres no question political participation in mexico has really has seen Huge Movement in the last couple of years. I mean, parity is enshrined in their constitution. Theres been a real push to make sure that there is representation from women within politics at all levels. So that is something of a dramatic change in the world. I mean, its a leader in that sense. At the same time, it is still a deeply macho country. Its a very violent country. I mean, you look at issues such as femicide, you know, the killing of women. And that has soared in recent years. Amlo, the current president , he has tried to tackle that and he has failed. Its almost as if the problems with mexico are bigger than who becomes president. So the fact that there is this change is a very welcome change. The fact that it will be a different leadership, expected in 2024, again, is welcome. But there are massive issues to tackle within mexico. And is that something that a person can do in six years . Remember, in mexico, theres no such thing as re election. Theres a six year presidency and that is it. So they only have a finite amount of time in which they can actually push through change and make meaningful change on the ground. Because i think thats the issue, is that these two women have shown that you can get to the top and you can be equal when it comes to politics. But when it comes to the average mexican, i think the reality is very different. And what would be the different stance between the two women on, for instance, the major issue of the cartels violence, the drug cartels . Claudia sheinba, shes a former mayor of mexico city. Shes an ally of the current president. Hes really, really backed her and she looks like shes the front runner for now. Xochitl galvez, she comes from an indigenous background. Shes a tech entrepreneur, shes also a politician. You know, these two women are highly educated, highly experienced, both seen as social progressives, although ones from the left, ones from the right. They both believe in the decriminalisation of abortion. How theyre going to tackle the issue of drug cartels . I mean, that, its almost its bigger than mexico. I mean, its a world wide issue. Yes, the cartels are in mexico, you know, colombia in this part of the world. But this is a Worldwide Industry that probably takes more than having a president for six years to be able to tackle it. I mean, you could argue even theyre kind of parallel governments. I mean, theyre incredibly powerful groups. And many of the groups also have very powerful women within those groups, too. But no doubt that will be an issue that will be rumbling along and arguably probably almost impossible to change. Externally, mexicos reputation as a country has really taken a leap forward, certainly in the western world, with the decriminalisation of abortion and now the issue of the likelihood that there will be a woman president next. What is the sort of understanding of mexicos standing in the World Outside . So ive covered this region for a decade in mexico and here, and i think in the last decade, i think youve seen huge amounts of change. So, yes, mexico has huge problems with lawlessness, rule of law, i would argue, probably more than here in sao paulo. But when it comes to like the feminist movement, we have seen a massive change. Its called the green wave movement. Argentina has really led the way with the legalisation of abortion, mexico weve seen just a few weeks ago, the topic was started being debated here in brazil. This region has always felt the presence of the us, but what were seeing, especially when it comes to abortion, you know, the rights are being rowed back in the us. Here, there are big steps moving forward and you know, across the region theres been liberalisation of abortion rights. Now, that of course, it has to be said, it had hugely strict rights. I mean, if you look at el salvador in central america, abortion is illegal under any circumstance. Women are imprisoned for miscarriages because people, you know, theyve been accused of abortion, aborting their baby. And i think, you know, theres still so much to be done. But if youre talking about the last decade or so, certainly since ive been covering it, i think thereve been huge steps. Is there any grounds that you feel, Knowing Mexico so well, to be optimistic about it . Yeah, sure. I mean, any change is welcome change. And i think that, you know, the more that theres that parity and that dialogue and that both men and women are represented, and, you know, what harm does it do to have that change and have to have somebody else in power from the status quo . And also what does it teach, for example, the us . Because of course its biggest Trading Partner has yet to have a female president. So it shows again that, you know, theres a lot to be seen, a lot to be taught from other parts, especially here in latin america. 20 years ago, the future prosperity of the continent of africa seemed fairly assured. South africa had come through the dangerous Transition Triumphantly from apartheid to majority rule. There were more democracies and fewer dictatorships in the continent, and the us president , George W Bush had launched his perhaps slightly unlikely campaign to Fund Economic growth in africa. And then things started to go wrong. Under president jacob zuma, south africa became a kleptocracy, with billions siphoned off to private Bank Accounts in the middle east. Loud explosions after a brief respite, wars broke out again. Soldiers staged what often looked like frivolous coups, even in niger, one of the more hopeful examples of democracy. And russian soldiers began to appear in several parts of Francophone Africa. Whats extraordinary is quite how brazen it is. Andrew harding, whos been the bbc� s long serving Africa Correspondent throughout this entire process, has finally moved on. I took the opportunity of sitting him down to listen to his thoughts and experiences of covering the last 19 years in the continent. The big picture stuff is quite worrying, i would say. I mean, weve been through a decade where everyones been looking very actively for good news from africa, and theres been the whole africa rising narrative, theres been the resource boom, china driven, all that export, all that money. And yet it now feels to me like a lot of that has been wasted and that the democratic gains that we saw bubbling up all over the place are not really bedding in that well in a lot of countries, were seeing rollback. Were seeing a kind of c minus kind of level democracy taking hold. I think thats a cause for concern. Youve got this big demographic bubble, this youth bubble in africa, which for a long time has been understandably, maybe justifiably, seen as a positive. You look at ethiopia, somewhere thats trying to kind of ride to economic success on the back of that youth bubble. And the fear now is that that demographic benefit is being wasted and that it could become, its already becoming in some places, a real threat, a real challenge, because you have a generation of young men, young women, well educated in some cases, but very frustrated, frustrated with the lack of democracy, frustrated with the growing unemployment. And you see that particularly in the sahel region, and thats whats driving all these people to seek to cross the mediterranean, to get to europe, to find prosperity. Right across, particularly the former French Empire in africa, were seeing all of these Military Coups. Its just like back in the � 705. There are a lot of different factors at work. And you see places like sudan as well, which has just had a Military Coup as well, and which is in a sense the biggest crisis in africa right now. The sheer complexity of it now, so many different players trying to have a role, i dont think is good for africa. I dont think its helping anyone. Im not saying people are yearning for a return to simpler times, but right now in the Central African republic, the russians have taken over there. Theyre pretty much holding the country hostage. Nothing to do with the french there really any more. And its astonishing the extent and the ease with which ambitious, unprincipled often, new powers in africa, external powers like russia, are managing to get real leverage on the ground. And, yes, Francophone Africa right now, weve seen it in chad, weve seen it now in niger. And the latest news, of course, is that macron has sort of succumbed to what i think many people thought was inevitable and has announced that hes pulling french troops out of what had been their key base in this region. But what i would also say is that, that i dont think its lost, in the sense france has lost africa. I think its in play and i think well see the extent to which these coups are very much elite operations. They are the work of a tiny group of military men who are using the anti colonial rhetoric and are being given russian flags, presumably by the kremlin, to wave. The russians may have played this weak hand very successfully, and they may currently be doing well in mali, in niger, in burkina faso, elsewhere. But i dont think that means theyre necessarily there to stay because the regimes theyre propping up are very weak, very fragile, and they are not going to satisfy the demands forjobs, for security, for Economic Growth that the populations there want. You dont think that if, say, donald trump comes to power in the us that the west in general will turn its back on african countries . The problem with that argument is from an african perspective, i think people would say, well, look, it was actually george bush and his pepfar programme that pumped billions into fighting aids, Into Fighting Tb in africa. He was the last American Administration that really made a difference. There are a lot of American Companies trying to do business in the continent, but they are being eclipsed on a massive scale by the chinese. The chinese are there on the ground. Chinese diplomacy, chinese businessmen, small and large, are everywhere. And the americans may be investing from a distance, but theyre just not there in the way that i think impresses africans and makes them feel that theyre being treated seriously. So when the chinese come, when the russians come, when russia invades ukraine, african governments and african populations go, well. We dont want to be anybody� s plaything, but at least the chinese seem to take us seriously. At least the russian diplomacy, Sergei Lavrov comes for days, he comes for weeks. He visits so much more often than any british diplomats. You lived in south africa, injohannesburg. Whats gone wrong there . Its a very schizophrenic country. It is still spectacular. It is still impressive on many levels. It still has a very vibrant private sector, a very energetic, quite optimistic population. And yet infrastructurally, the rot has been spectacular. And the anc, the Governing Anc admits as much. It talks about a Lost Decade Underformer president jacob zuma. A lot of africans, South Africans will go, look, the legacy of apartheid was never going to be undone and overcome in a generation. And thats very true. You still see that structural apartheid, the townships, the legacy of those times hard baked into the country. And it is a difficult one to overcome. And in many ways, the anc started incredibly ambitiously and impressively trying to undo that. The problem is that theyve been in power for nearly 30 years, and what party can survive that without rotting . Theres a sort of broad group of Opposition Parties that are hoping to take control. The thing that makes a lot of people nervous is the eff, a much more radical nationalist, populist, Racialized Party that might end up propping up the anc, keeping it in power. If that happens, youre going to see such a rush for the doors with investment. And investment is already flat lining, foreign investment. And if that happens, i think the rand will collapse. Foreign investment will dry up and south africa cant fix its problems without foreign help. It needs that foreign investment. Do you think its got the ability to claw its way back . I mean, i hope south africa will turn around. My concern is a sort of slow, long term downhill. Decline without saying its going to turn into a war zone. I mean, some people would say it already is in terms of the violence there, but i think its long term future is still up for grabs. Andrew harding, the bbc� s long serving Africa Correspondent, whos now heading for a possibly gentler posting in paris. And that brings this edition of unspun world to an end.

The birkenhead mp has said the community will come together to support the families involved in what he describes as an absolute tragedy. The m53 motorway was closed yesterday to allow complex Investigation Work to take place in that motorway has now reopened. Thank you very much. We have more now on a Major Medical breakthrough. Thousands of men every year who undergo treatment for Prostate Cancer could safely be given far less radiotherapy thats according to a Major International trial. The pace b study found that Radiotherapy Doses can be cut by three quarters, meaning less pressure on the nhs. Heres our medical editor fergus walsh. There was no pain or inconvenience. The treatment was just so swift and easy. There was no downside to it. Alistair kennedy rose feels extremely fortunate to have had his Prostate Cancer treated in just five sessions of radiotherapy. Eight years on, the 64 is still cancer free. It was almost as if i had never had Prostate Cancer because i did not have any symptoms to start with and the treatment was so easy, ultimately so very effective. He was treated here at the Royal Marsden hospital in london as part of a pivotal trial involving nearly 900 men at 38 hospitals in the uk, ireland and canada. All the men had medium risk Prostate Cancer which had not spread. After five years, 96 of the men who had five high doses of multiple Beam Radiotherapy were cancer free. Compared to 95 who had at least 20 doses of standard radiotherapy. Both groups had low side effect. The pink area is the prostate gland. The medical director of the Royal Marsden led the International Trial. For him, this is a big moment. When i got the results i was blown away. It was probably one of the best days in my career. I think it is fantastic news for patients and brilliant news for the nhs. So what are the implications . I think it will be an enormous change and i suspect the nhs, instead of getting 20 doses we could get five and if we extrapolate that that is hundreds of thousands of doses of radiotherapy that will be saved and in the system that is under pressure that will be very welcome. Another likely change is less use of Hormone Therapy in the future. None of the men on the trials given any and so was spared the side effects like extreme fatigue, hot flushes and low libido. It will be a better experience for thousands of men with Prostate Cancer every year. They will be able to have all their Radiotherapy Treatment in just one week and without the need for Hormone Therapy. Alistair� s Prostate Cancer was picked up after a simple blood test.

Rishi sunak are setting out a political dividing line with labour ahead of the Party Conference this weekend.

Its one year since russias illegal attempt to annex several regions of Eastern Ukraine in what have been branded sham elections but it still does not fully control any of them. Our ukraine correspondent James Waterhouse is in kyiv. James 12 months on, whats changed . 12 months on can you tell us what has changed and, crucially, for the People Living there what it is like 12 months on . fin People Living there what it is like 12 months on . People living there what it is like 12 months on . ~ ii ii i 12 months on . On the ukrainian side very little has changed. 12 months on . On the ukrainian side very little has changed. You 12 months on . On the ukrainian side very little has changed. You have very little has changed. You have four regions which russia has announced as being annexed a year ago which are not completely under russias control so this time last year you had zaporizhzhia, don yet, but three on regions which are still still very contested and in the time since the Southern City of was liberated. And in the last four months we saw a counteroffensive launched south of zaporizhzhia where gains have been far less obvious but hugely costly and nevertheless ukraine is retaking territory, slowly. We see Missile Strikes into occupied crimea and we see the russians very much on the defensive footing but, nevertheless, ukraine is somewhere off the desired liberation very much fighting for. So why did russia announce the annexations . We saw the scenes in red square last night with Vladimir Putin talking. He thanked the people in the region for passing on their love of the country to their children. It is a message to say everything is going according to plan in this so called special military operation. And its audience, his audience of the russian people themselves. It is for internal consumption to try and keep criticism at bay and to put on a display of strength, if you like. Vladimir putin spoke about a process which has been internationally recognised. These annexations have only been recognised by syria and north korea, two countries very much aligned with russia. So for ukraine, this changes very little. It is still a story of occupation and attempted liberation and for russia it is actually a continuation of a trend as well in that Vladimir Putin, the kremlin, his generals are trying to put on a picture that everything is going according to plan. They have a firm grasp on 150 of ukraine but what we are seeing a Missile Strikes and troop movements, we see continued support from the west in an attempt to undermine the presence and ukraine, at the moment, is showing no signs of concession in its quest to fully repel the Russian Forces from its territory. A State Of Emergency has been declared in new york after torrential downpours triggered flash floods turning streets into rivers. In some places, more than ten centimetres of rain fell in just a few hours. Those pictures really are extraordinary. Over to you, those pictures really are extraordinary.

Yes, behind you as well . Yes, those scenes from your quite incredible. Lets put some numbers on it and give perspective. Jfk saw more rain in a single day then the entire month of september, that also made it their wettest calendar day on record. I have never seen that much rainfall in one day. In an urban area, of course, that is why we saw all that flooding. It is the equivalent of three or four months of rain flooding. It is the equivalent of three orfour months of rain in birmingham falling in the space of just one day. New york of course is the latest spot to suffer flooding during september. This is the area of crab responsible. The Weather System has this Little Finger of crowd bringing intense rain, that is now easing away. If we cross over the atlantic to our shores, we have crowd moving in. This is coming in and is said to bring rain to some of us, not on the same scale as we go through to the second half of this afternoon. I dry start on saturday, some spells of sunshine in the west and north, a bit of crowd elsewhere but some breaks for those sunny spells, through the morning, ten went to the north and west of wales. Increasingly so into Northern Ireland as we head into lunchtime. Strengthening winds around the irish sea. That Rain Were Go Into Parts of the north midlands, North West England and south western Parts Of Scotland well. Windiest towards the west, lighter winds elsewhere. Most other areas will stay dry, with a bit of sunshine, 20 degrees in london, a fresh day in the far north of scotland, about 12 14. Staying largely dry here.

What we will also see tonight, after a fresh and into tomorrow morning. What we will also see tonight, after a fresh night last night, temperatures holding up much more, 12 to 16 or 17 degrees. A humid feel for many as we go into sunday. To the south and east of this Weather Front, Northern Ireland, parts of North West England and wales, more rain to come, that will edge its way south and fragments just a will edge its way south and fragmentsjust a little bit. Scotland and Northern Ireland, the finalfitting one, brightening up with sunny spells. The same light of the Channel Isles and east anglia, should stay dry for much of the day. Varying amounts of air, warm in the sunshine, temperatures up to 23 or 24 celsius, a particularly warm start to october. If youre travelling by rail today youre likely to face significant upheaval, because Train Drivers are staging another strike. Because Train Drivers the fresh wave of Industrial Action by members of the aslef union means fewer than half of trains will be operating. Mick whelan, general secretary of aslef, joins us now from london euston. Good morning to you, thank you for talking to us this morning. Today and wednesday it is going to be very difficult for people getting around the country, there will be people at home, i am sure, watching this. They may have had plans to meet relatives, travelling by train, and i will not be able to do it. What can you say to them as to why they Cannot Travel On trains today . Well. Cannot travel on trains today . Well, when we get Cannot Travel On trains today . Well, when we get to Cannot Travel On trains today . Well, when we get to february Cannot Travel On trains today . Well, when we get to february next Cannot Travel On trains today . Ii when we get to february next year it will be half a decade since my members have had a pay rise. Quite simply, it is a westminster problem, created by a westminster government. We have done 12 14 pay deals in the last year and as you said, 50 of the trains are running. All those companies with which weve done pay deals, you have trains that are running. This is a political dispute caused by a government that doesnt want to invest in railways, doesnt want to invest in railways, doesnt want to invest in personnel, and thinks it is the job of the workers to support our employers, we dont work for the government, we work for private companies which are Earning Hundreds of millions of pounds on paying dividends to their private shareholders. You paying dividends to their private shareholders. Shareholders. You mentioned the government shareholders. You mentioned the government a shareholders. You mentioned the government. A statement shareholders. You mentioned the government. A statement from i shareholders. You mentioned the i government. A statement from the Department For Transport says that there is a fair and reasonable offer on the table that would take Train Drivers plutos salaries from £60,000 to £65,000 for a 35 hour, four day week. That offer, they say, has not been put to your members. Why not . Has not been put to your members. Wh not . I ii i i has not been put to your members. Wh not . I iii i , ii i why not . Well, as they know, they dealt with us why not . Well, as they know, they dealt with us for why not . Well, as they know, they dealt with us for the why not .

Well, as they know, they dealt with us for the past 23 years, j dealt with us for the past 23 years, we have a policy made by our members that we only put out deals that we recommend. We also have a Framework Agreement with the employees about what we are going to do, what the talks will contain. Part of that was having five meetings to take away the red lines to make sure that there was a chance that deal would succeed. They gave us a deal with all the red lines in. When you say that fair and reasonable is a strapline, they use that in the nhs, they use it in other sectors. If you put lies and deceit in the place of being fair and reasonable, that is where who we are dealing with. Hosp where who we are dealing with. How will this be resolved . This is the 12th day of strikes in the 16th man speak my 16 month dispute. Is thisjust going to speak my 16 month dispute. Is this just going to be the norm . People will be working out how theyre going to get places, there will be working out now how on wednesday they are going to get children to school, how they are going to get to work. Do people have to get used to this because there is no sign of any resolution between yourselves . No sign of any resolution between ourselves . I ii ii i yourselves . Well, we have not seen the transport yourselves . Well, we have not seen the Transport Minister yourselves . Well, we have not seen the Transport Minister make yourselves . Well, we have not seen the Transport Minister make any the Transport Minister make any publication since last december. We have not seen the Rail Minister since january. We havent seen the employer since april. We have been saying all along we are willing to talk and find a way out of this, but it is not all gusts, it is not an fighter complete process. It has to be acceptable to all people and be truly reasonable, not forced to be reasonable. Truly reasonable, not forced to be reasonable reasonable. Presumably your members are losing money reasonable. Presumably your members are losing money every reasonable. Presumably your members are losing money every time reasonable. Presumably your members are losing money every time you reasonable. Presumably your members are losing money every time you have i are losing money every time you have are losing money every time you have a day of strikes. On the Programme Today we have been speaking to people from the hospitality industry, they have been particularly talking about the concern at christmas, people who are on far less money than the average pay for a train driver. They are genuinely worried about their jobs, if we have another christmas of strikes. Can you at least say that christmas will be kept out of the strikes this year . I christmas will be kept out of the strikes this year . Christmas will be kept out of the strikes this year . I cant say that. You have the strikes this year . I cant say that. You have the government strikes this year . I cant say that. You have the government introducing minimum Service Levels, minimum Service Levels that exacerbate and make industrial strife longer and cause far more of it, and make for a less safe railway. At this moment in time, we have not looked at what we are doing next, we are only in september, we cannot say what will happen. In september, we cannot say what will ha en. Ii september, we cannot say what will ha. En, ii ii happen. In the next hour on breakfast happen. In the next hour on breakfast we happen. In the next hour on breakfast we will happen.

We are running a theme today of wheres wally . Where is mark . Because we have not seen him for so long. Lets see if the government wants to talk to us, but see if they really want a resolution, because all the indications are that they want to strive, they dont want to end this, and they dont want to talk to us. Thank you, we will pass that message on. Since the Prime Minister announced plans to ban american bully xl type dogs, Animal Charities say theyve had an increase in calls from worried pet owners. The government says its taking quick action to protect the public after a series of recent attacks but owners are now concerned how a ban could affect them. John maguire reports. One year old rufus is a happy dog, but with a very uncertain future. He is among the 20 here at the Hope Rescue Centre in south wales that may be affected by the ban on excel bullies, and staff fear there may be more to come.

Since the Prime Minister announced the ban more to come. Since the Prime Minister announced the ban we j more to come. Since the Prime Minister announced the ban we have seen a massive increase in the number of phone calls, messages that we are getting from panicked donors. Firstly they are worried about whether their dog is going to fit into this ban, so we are hearing from not only owners of xl bullies, but also other bully breeds, instead of going to fit despair, and what does it mean to their dog . If people are panicked and are not sure what to do, will we see a high number of dogs coming into our care, which at the moment, when we are already working at capacity, is really scary for us. Iii ii working at capacity, is really scary for us. Ii ii working at capacity, is really scary for us. Ii,i, ii working at capacity, is really scary for us. I for us.

I would rather be ahead of the live with their dog. I would rather be ahead of the game live with their dog. I would rather be ahead of the game and make | live with their dog. I would rather be ahead of the game and make sure that we are repaired. Creed had never won a muzzle before and he doesnt particularly like things near his face, so it could take a while to get comfortable with it. And i want to make sure that if and when they do bring this ruling, we are not trapped in the house and cannot take me out and walking because we cannot get a muzzle on him. , i because we cannot get a muzzle on him. I i ii i, i him. They believe dangerous behaviour him. They believe dangerous behaviour is him. They believe dangerous behaviour is derived him. They believe dangerous behaviour is derived from him. They believe dangerous| behaviour is derived from the responsible breeders and owners, caused by humans, not animals. I just think it should be notjust xls, it should be tighter dog control for everybody. And if your dog does attack someone you should pay the consequences. It should be treated the same as like manslaughter. I treated the same as like manslaughter. Treated the same as like manslaughter. Treated the same as like manslauhter. ~ ii i, manslaughter.

There is a lot of people who have been coming in with dogs that they just arent going people who have been coming in with dogs that theyjust arent going to wear a muzzle. Dogs that theyjust arent going to weara muzzle. I dogs that theyjust arent going to wear a muzzle. I know a couple of people who have put their pets to sleep already because either they cant afford it or the stigma attached to it. It is a hard decision for a lot of people. Cairos owners have so far tried unsuccessfully to muzzle him at home. He is a large dog, but at nine months, is still a puppy, and is already taking to this method. His owners are not sure if his exact breed, but they are not taking any chances. Ile breed, but they are not taking any chances. Ii i i i, i chances. He has shown so much potential it chances. He has shown so much potential. It is chances. He has shown so much potential. It is quite potential. It is quite heartbreaking. That is why we are trying to take these steps before anything comes into place. Determining whether or not a dog belongs to a band breed is difficult, and there are concerns that the breed will affect responsible owners while doing little to tackle those who already abuse existing laws, the system and dogs themselves. And well be speaking with a Dog Rescue Charity at around 9. 15 this morning, to help answer questions on how the ban could work. To get in touch with the programme if you have particular questions.

The ryder cup is an enormous sporting occasion and it starts and it is extraordinary what happens next. An incredible one sided story. If ever a picture told a story. The European Team pinching themselves, just like the fans because no one predicted how dominant they would be on the opening day of the cup. As they built up their Record Equalling lead, and its hard to see how the americans can recover after failing to win a single match. The second day is underway, and our Sports Correspondent andy swiss, is there. There could not be a bigger contrast in the mood of fans and teams arriving there today and still taking in, the european fans drinking in the drama of yesterday. That is right. It was an incredible day for europe yesterday, wasnt it . I dont think in their wildest dreams they could have asked for much more. Remember, it was the first time in ryder cup history that they won all four opening matches on they won all four opening matches on the first day. The afternoon matches were much tighter and the us had real chances to win three of those matches that in the end all three matches that in the end all three matches ended up being tied and we saw real drama on the 18th hole. Justin rose had a putt to tie his match. Could he snatch half a point . Of match. Could he snatch half a point . Of course he could. And theyjust summed up the european day. You could see what it meant tojustin and his teammates. A sensational day for europe but a terrible day for the united states. The first time in ryder cup history that they have failed to win a single match over the course of a day. Afterwards, interestingly, their captain said there had been a bit of illness going around the us team which may have affected their play but whatever the reasons they know they have to improve today if they are going to have any chance of keeping their hopes alive. find going to have any chance of keeping their hopes alive. Their hopes alive. And for europe i uess it their hopes alive. And for europe i guess it is their hopes alive. And for europe i guess it is a their hopes alive. And for europe i guess it is a case their hopes alive. And for europe i guess it is a case of their hopes alive. And for europe i guess it is a case of not their hopes alive. And for europe i guess it is a case of not letting i their hopes alive. And for europe i guess it is a case of not letting a i guess it is a case of not letting a motion sweep over them are getting to your forehead at this stage in keeping that momentum going. That is riht. Keeping that momentum going. That is right. The european fans keeping that momentum going. That is right. The european fans are right. The european fans are arriving here in a confident mood. You can see them still streaming in behind me. Another glorious morning here in rome. The fans were up early again. It was still pitch black when they started to get into the course. So much noise and colour, so much fancy dress, many of them charged off to the first tee to try and get a vantage point. Unsurprisingly the european fancier making plenty of noise this morning after that incredible opening day. The European Team, i can tell you, they made a strong start today as well. In the opening match we have rory mcilroy and Tommy Fleetwood. Fleetwood mac is they have been dubbed, against Justin Thomas and jordan speith and what an incredible start it was for the european players. An incredible putt from Tommy Fleetwood on the second hole as europe took an early lead in that match. What a moment that was for him. Thats certainly got the crowd going. Europe lead in the opening two matches at the moment. The usa lead in the third but the usa know that they need something very special indeed. They need a strong start and they have not got it yet and europe will be hoping to build on the commanding thursday. Brute hoping to build on the commanding thursda. I i i ii ~ hoping to build on the commanding thursda. I i i ii , i, hoping to build on the commanding thursda. I ii ii , i, ii ii thursday. We will speak to you again later. Andy thursday.

We will speak to you again later, andy. Thank you. Talking of i later, andy. Thank you. Talking of dominance and one sided affairs, anyone writing off new zealand at the Rugby World Cup will need to rethink. They announce themselves in style. Scotland are on the same side of the draw and are in action later, facing romania and a chance to aput big score on the board. One of 3 games today, but all the other teams will have noticed what was happening in lyon. The all blacks demolished an italy side, who some thought might give the three time champions a scare. Instead new zealand ran in 14 tries in total in a 96 17 win. Italy narrowly avoided becoming the first team since portugal in 2007, to concede 100 points in a Rugby World Cup match. It means new zealand are on the cusp of the quarterfinals. In rugby league, it will be an emotional day forjames roby, who will play his final home game for saints when they host warrington in this afternoons eliminator. Last night, hull kr got their revenge after losing to leigh leopards in the Challenge Cup Final earlier this year, with hull kr, beating them in their super league eliminator 20 6. The victory puts them into the semi finals where theyll face Wigan Warriors or the catalan dragons and just one match away from their first ever appearance in the Super League Grand final. Now some big boxing news, and an history making, undisputed heavyweight fight between champions tyson fury and Oleksandr Usyk, has been signed and will take place in saudi arabia. The date of the fight has yet to be confirmed December 23rd the target although the fight may have to wait until 2024. When it does take place, it will be the first undisputed Heavyweight Bout, since 1999. Fury is currently preparing to face, mma star Francis Ngannou in a non title fight in riyadh on october 28th. The world gymnastics championships begin tomorrow with the finals live on the bbc beginning on tuesday. A number of team gbs brightest stars are heading to antwerp including World ChampionJessica Gadirova and, for the First Time Since the tokyo olympics, triple olympic champion max whitlock. I cannot wait. I am honoured to have the opportunity to represent gb again with the guys and the girls but i feel like, i feel like again with the guys and the girls but i feel like, ifeel like i have come back this time with a different mindset and in a positive way. I feel i am more chilled and things in a better perspective so i look forward to going out there, having my best shot and getting back on the world team that world stage. And fina0lly, the big names in sport are not immune to whats happening in the news and newcastle uniteds ground is only 30 miles from sycamore gap at Hadrians Wall, where the much loved tree was cut down to the horror of so many. While experts believe some new shoots could grow from the stump of the famous tree, they admit itll never be the same again, and its caused such sadness, including in the newcastle camp. Iam i am really sad that i was not able to get there before what has happened in the last few days. Saddened by it, really. I dont know quite how to describe it but when i heard the news i was just so disappointed that an act can ruin something that is there for the pleasure of everybody and it is such a beautiful thing. Very sad. It has affected the a beautiful thing. Very sad. It has affected the whole a beautiful thing. Very sad. It has affected the whole area a beautiful thing. Very sad. It has affected the whole area and they| affected the whole area and they have all gotten caught up in the story. Thank you, mike.

We have had very good storytellers on the sofa this week. We had michael yesterday he was fascinating and also saying that when he was a kid he said what he was good at was lying and he turned that into storytelling. Just to qualify that. With some success along the way. Matt has the weather for us. How does the weekend look . Is that a new picture . Yes, look at this across tower bridge. Cumulus cloud, reflecting some of that sunlight earlier as it was about to come up. It is an indication of what many have this morning. A bit of crowd around, a bit of sunshine. A dry start. It will not stay that way for everybody. There will be a wet ending to the story, because this Weather System is set to push in, especially across the central strip of the uk. You can see the rain gathering as we go through the morning, probably First Arriving in parts of west wales in the mid morning, then into Northern Ireland for lunch, spreading north and east. To the south and east it will stay dry with the occasional bit bit of sunshine, the far north of scotland, a dry day, only one or two isolated showers. Rain taking hold across much of Northern Ireland, pushing to south western scotland and Northern England, with strong and gusty winds developing around irish sea coasts as well. Away from that, northern, eastern and the far south of the country staying dry, temperature is fairly similar to yesterday. Going into this evening and overnight, the first batch of heavy rain out of the way, wetter conditions into northern scotland, then more heavy rain into parts of Northern Ireland, north and west wales, as we go through to tomorrow morning. Temperatures tonight higher than last night, staying in double figures, may be 16 or 17 as a lawyer towards the south of england and wales, because we are dragging in this plume of humid air coming in on the south westerly winds. A muggy feeling day, especially for england and wales. Misty and murky in places tomorrow, the north of england and north west wales, heavy Rain At Times through the morning. That will ease as it spreads into the midlands and east anglia later in the afternoon. A fair bit of sunshine developing, a few showers in western scotland, the south east corner, staying dry throughout. Here we can see temperatures 23 or 24 celsius. That is well above where we should be for the first day of october. That stays in place as we go through the night and into monday, much of europe sitting on a High Pressure on monday as well, they want to here but we will tap into this Weather System that will push its way in gradually from the south west as we go through monday. Could be quite murky to begin with. Across the south, heavy rain, even thundery rain developing, with a few heavy showers further east. Northern half of the country, largely dry, a few isolated showers and feeling fresher than it does in the south west corner. How should one tv channel cover the troubles of another tv channel. Welcome to news watch, with me, samir ahmed. Welcome to news watch, with me, samirahmed. Samira. Coming up gb news is underfire after offensive comments were made on air, but was on newsnight fair to the channel in the way it covered it on wednesday . And why were bbc one viewers tweeted to a 2017 edition of news watch last weekend . First, has brexit disappeared from the Public Discourse . For many people, the decision to leave the uk is now history in the country has moved on, but for others it is still very much a live issue. Ibis reported on saturday afternoon, on the news channel. Pro european protesters are marching in Central London today. The National Rejoin march is due to culminate with a rally at parliament square.

Perhaps to the bbc� s relief, and other news Broadcasting Organisation has been in the spotlight this week. Gb news, who have suspended contributor laurence fox and suspended dan wootton, after what the channel themselves called unacceptable on air comments by fox about a female journalist, which they said were insufficiently challenged by the presenter. The channel was the subject of a discussion on wednesdays newswatch on bbc two. I ii i, ii i, on bbc two. These are poundland fox news channels. On bbc two.

Laurence fox would come out with a statement that offensive. The statement that offensive. The olitical statement that offensive. The political blogger statement that offensive. Political blogger guido statement that offensive. Political blogger guido fawkes invited his followers to complain to the regulator, ofcom, about what he called newsnight� s extreme and unbalanced coverage of gb news, arguing impartiality rules had been breached. One viewer followed that advice and submitted an ofcom complaint. He wrote well, the reason why there was some unanimity among the panel could be explained by what presenter Victoria Derbyshire said at the start of the discussion. We derbyshire said at the start of the discussion. ~. , r derbyshire said at the start of the discussion discussion. We did ask for an interview discussion. We did ask for an interview with discussion. We did ask for an interview with the discussion. We did ask for an interview with the boss discussion. We did ask for an interview with the boss of. Discussion. We did ask for an i interview with the boss of gb discussion. We did ask for an interview with the boss of gb news. He said he could not come on until he had completed his investigation. Later in the wait, that boss told the radio for� s today programme that he was appalled by the remarks made by laurence fox. Fox himself apologised. Ofcom launched an investigation into whether the gb news broadcast broke its rules on offence. Lets talk now to the editor of newsnight, stuart maclean. Thank you for coming on news watch. Three voices, nobody giving the gb news point of view. News point of view. Shouldnt you have not news point of view. Shouldnt you have got someone . News point of view. Shouldnt you have got someone . Well, news point of view. Shouldnt you have got someone . Well, i news point of view. Shouldnt you have got someone . Well, i think| news point of view. Shouldnt you i have got someone . Well, i think not make the starting point is that we would always seek to ensure that every discussion we do on a live issue like this is as balanced as possible, with a range of voices. As your clip showed, victoria was very clear on the programme, we did invite gb news to appear on the programme and we understood at the time they were unable to because they were conducting an investigation into doctor mike you could have got someone else, to express their point of view. Well, thank you, absolutely. And we have a Production Team at newsnight who spend many hours a day working to find guests from across a range of views, and we tried many people, people who used to work the gb news, many others who might be sympathetic to gb news, and unfortunately on wednesday we were not able to find anyone who could come on. I think it is worth saying we dont get everything right all the time. I have watched that discussion, im quite happy to accept that discussion would have been better, had we had that range of views and had we had that range of views and had we had a robust defender of gb news. I am sure your viewers will understand that when we are putting out live news programmes, two things are true. One is that you never quite know the direction in discussion might go, when you are on air, and the second thing is it is often hard to pin down guests, especially for a late news programme, who are available and able to come on. Not every item can be perfect. We strive for total balance, we bring in as wide a range of views is possible that every time. That is really a guiding principle of every programme we make. As we said wednesday, we dont always hit that mark. When we dont get it right, we acknowledge it. That is appreciated. Why dont you ask laurence fox . That is appreciated. Why dont you ask laurence fox . At the time of our broadcast on ask laurence fox . At the time of our broadcast on thursday, ask laurence fox . At the time of our broadcast on thursday, laurence ask laurence fox . At the time of our broadcast on thursday, laurence foxi broadcast on thursday, laurence fox had made it clear he was not prepared to apologise for what he had said, and he was questioning the motives of Media Organisations that were covering the programme. So on that occasion he was not somebody we invited onto the programme. We did invited onto the programme. We did invite many other people at gb news, including dan wootton and the stations boss. None of them were able to come on. I assure you, we did invite a whole number of people who would speak in favour of the channel, but given the difficulties of the time, none of them are available to come on. Of the time, none of them are available to come on. You could have asked laurence available to come on. You could have asked laurence fox available to come on.

The bbc| does not often work in that way. The discussion, it is worth saying, was not just about gb discussion, it is worth saying, was notjust about gb news. It was a broader discussion with three very well informed people who know a lot about the broadcasting landscape, and although the discussion started focusing on gb news it was broader in scope and we were talking about the regulatory environment, and each of those people on the panel had a lot of experience in the area. So although we didnt have anyone who was on their mac representing gb news, there were a range of views on there, including a conservative mp. We often get complaints that programmes like newsnight are obsessed with talking about the media, and given that you did not have all the sides, perhaps it was justified, but was itjustified to give so much discussion time to it . People think you are always talking about yourselves, in some way. I am about yourselves, in some way. I am not sure that about yourselves, in some way. I am not sure that is about yourselves, in some way. I am not sure that is fair. About yourselves, in some way. I am not sure that is fair. A about yourselves, in some way. I n not sure that is fair. A programme like newsnight generally covers two or three stories in depth every night. We actually let our programme on wednesday with a very long film from the front line in ukraine, and we have done a lot of coverage of foreign news all this week. I think on wednesday the row about gb news and, for us, the broader question is that it raised around broadcasting in the uk, and some of the rules around that, it was one of the hot topics for discussion.

Finally, when things go wrong somewhere on bbc news, we sometimes feature those moments on newswatch, if they have elicited complaints or comments from you.

How does hello, and will to news watch, with me, samir ahmed. How does the bbc source and verify the flood of User Generated Content it gets after a terrorist attack or a Natural Disaster doctor mac regular viewers will have immediately spotted that is not our current studio or title sequence, and irregular ones will not have taken much longer to realise that a clip of home secretary amber rudd speaking to andrew marr that this was an old edition of newswatch. Exactly six years old, in fact, originally shown on september 20 two, 2017. Human error meant that similarly dated addition was played instead of last weeks programme, which had already gone out correctly in ourii 30pm which had already gone out correctly in our 11 30pm slot on friday evening on the news channel. Mark powell had posted this open the fact that bbc breakfast accidentally showed an old episode of newswatch this morning means that people who complain to newswatch about news will complain about is to newswatch, and i think the may implode close quote. Maggies human was similarly troubled. Slow brain this morning, hang on, she isnt in government any more, that is the old set, andrew marr doesnt have that show any more. And annette plays a open question two was not shown on bbc breakfast today. Was this sabotage because it was about Russell Brand . Instead they started showing an old episode, and then stopped then stopped it. What is going on close quote . The old episode was pulled off air after a couple of minutes when the mistake was realised and the correct edition appeared on sundays breakfast instead. So no sabotage. We apologise for the year and have taken steps to make sure it does not happen again.

I think the issue of tax though and what should be the conservative approach to tax going into the next General Election next year should be one of the hot topics in manchester. Whats that youve had today is a group of 30 conservative mps signing a pledge, sirjack berry writing an article today saying that they wont support further taxes and they should be moving towards a low tax economy to get Economic Growth going. There are no tax rises imminent but this is really about positioning, drawing a line in the sand. We heard from jeremy hunt today. He says we need to end the vicious cycle of tax rises but the way he says to do that is use modern technology to make the Public Sector more progressive and reform the Benefit System as well. I think its going to be a huge topic of debate in manchester. In a sense, its still the same debate we were having a year ago when we had the mini budget. There is this debate within the party about whether low taxes are the cause of Economic Growth or whether they are something we need to deal with as a hangover from ukraine and the coronavirus academic. The coronavirus pandemic. Rail passengers are facing more disruption today as around i2 thousand Train Drivers stage their latest one day strike over pay and conditions. The fresh wave of action, by members of the aslef union, means fewer than half of trains will be operating. Our business correspondent, marc ashdown, reports. Pubs, bars and restaurants are facing a difficult weekend. The latest strike by Train Drivers means a likely drop in customers and takings. Some of the biggest names in the hospitality world have written an open letter to the main players involved in this rail dispute, urging them to do a deal before christmas or at least commit to cooling things off during such a busy period. The loss of christmas trade. Last year, we know that for the christmas hit with strikes, it cost the sector 1. 5 billion. If we were to lose another christmas, weve lost two to covid completely to two rail strikes. That golden period of time that is so valuable and so vital to our profitability, that would take the sectors losses to close to £5 billion. Thats just unsustainable for many of these Small Businesses in towns and city centres. Travelling anywhere by train is going to be difficult. Today, around 12,000 members of the aslaug union are staging a 2k hour strike in their long running dispute over pay. Members of the conservative party might have a frustrating time trying to get to their annual conference, which starts in manchester tomorrow. Its going to be a tough week all round for train passengers after todays one day strike. Its going to be a tough week all round for train passengers after todays one day strike. The union is also carrying out an overtime ban from monday to friday, so services will be limited all week. Drivers will also walk out again for another 2a hour strike on wednesday. And in london, members of the rmt union working at London Underground will stage two 24 hour walkouts on the tube on wednesday and friday in their dispute over potentialjob losses. Today is the 13th time Train Drivers have walked out in the past 16 months. Aslaug has rejected a pay offer of li for last year and the same for this year. And as it stands, there are no fresh negotiations planned. Weve been saying we need to find a way out of this. It has to be a deal thatis way out of this. It has to be a deal that is truly reasonable and not falsely claimed to be reasonable. Falsely claim to be reasonable. Union leaders say they regret having to take yet more strike action and maintain they are open to fresh talks on the other side of the table. The Group Representing the Rail Companies has apologised to passengers and said it too wants to resolve things. But hospitality bosses ahead of their crucial busiest festive trading period are fearful. Mark ashdown, bbc news. Its 13 minutes past eight. Were not sure what plans you have the weekend. Maybe you to nice weather . Heres matt with a look at this mornings weather. If you are in lancashire or parts of the western uk make the most of it because where we will see those clouds been swapped for something much greyer, this outbreak of rain. These strengthening winds too. It will take awhile to sweeping and it will take awhile to sweeping and it will be top and tail the country. But most will starts the day with some sunshine. Moving to in towards the south east. For scotland, staying dry, in between whether cloud increases for parts of northern and west wales. Heavy bursts and during the afternoon that spread into Western Parts of Northern England and the south west of scotland. Its going to limit the temperatures with the strong winds around the irish coast. 22 celsius in the south east. We see that first batch of heavy rain working its way out into the north sea and then later, Northern England and north wales will see heavy bursts of rain. Either side of that, dry weather to end the night in a pretty warm night, 16 17 c end the night in a pretty warm night, 16 17 c and feeling humid with it. Humid south of the Weather Front which will produce rain across wales. The rain fragments, eases a little bit but heads toward South West England and lincolnshire as we head into the afternoon. Some sunny breaks but a lot more sunshine to the north of that rain area. Temperatures here, 17 celsius. Upon todays value so it shouldnt feel too bad. 23 24 c, pretty warm for the first day of october. Were still on the edge of it and that does allow this next Weather System to sneak its way in as we go through monday so well that we are reasonably dry start they will be a bit of brightness breaking through the merc. Heavy thundery downpours through the midlands and the south east. Parts of Northern England, scotland and Northern Ireland, staying dry but one or two isolated showers and a bit fresher than tomorrow. Back to the studio. Its 8 16am. An International Trial has found that thousands of men every year could be successfully treated with a more intense form of radiotherapy which would significantly shorten the time it takes to treat them. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men with 52,000 cases diagnosed every year. 1 in 8 men and 1 in 1 black men will be affected. And 12,000 die from it every year. The study was led by the Royal Marsden hospital in london which said the treatment could help 8,000 men a year and would help ease pressure on the nhs. Heres our medical editor fergus walsh. There was no pain or inconvenience. The treatment was just so easy and swift there was no downside to it. Alistair kennedy rose feels extremely fortunate to have had his Prostate Cancer treated in just five sessions of radiotherapy. Eight years on, the 64 year old is still cancer free. It was almost as though id never had Prostate Cancer because i didnt have any symptoms to start with. And the treatment was so easy, ultimately, so very effective. He was treated here at the Royal Marsden hospital in london as part of a pivotal trial involving nearly 900 men at 38 hospitals in the uk, ireland and canada. All the men had medium risk Prostate Cancer, which had not spread. After five years 96 of the men whod had five high doses of multiple Beam Radiotherapy were cancer free, compared to 95 whod had at least 20 doses of standard radiotherapy. Both groups had low side effects. The pink area is the prostate gland. The medical director of the Royal Marsden led the International Trial. For him, this is a big moment. When i got the results, i was literally i was blown away. I mean, it was probably one of the best days of my career. I think its fantastic news for patients and its brilliant news for the nhs. So what are the implications . Well, its going to be an enormous change. I expect that the nhs will rapidly adopt this. So instead of giving 20 doses of radiotherapy, we can give five. If we extrapolate that across the whole nhs, thats hundreds of thousands of doses of radiotherapy that are going to be saved. And in a system which is quite under pressure, thats going to be very welcome. Another likely change is less use of Hormone Therapy in future. None of the men on the trial was given any and so were spared the side effects like extreme fatigue, hot flushes and low libido. Itll mean a better experience for thousands of men with Prostate Cancer every year wholl be able to have all their Radiotherapy Treatment injust a week and without the need for Hormone Therapy. Very quiet, peaceful. Alistair� s Prostate Cancer was picked up after a simple blood test. He wants all men over 50 to get themselves checked. Fergus walsh, bbc news. We are nowjoined by dr alison tree, consultant clinical oncologist at the Royal Marsden. A lot of people will be watching and be very interested in the results. Its been a long project but we are so excited its been a long project but we are so excited to see this come out. And for nrany so excited to see this come out.

As the weather turns colder, were all starting to think more about our energy bills and whether its worth turning that radiator on. But there are warnings that Energy Suppliers are holding on to too much of our money in the form of account credit. Figures seen by radio 4s money box reveal Energy Companies are holding on to more than £8 billion, overfour times as much as customers owe them. Dan whitworth from money box joins us now. Dan, what are your thoughts on those figures and what do they tell us . Its a lot of money its a huge amount of money and i think the industry has legitimate questions thanit industry has legitimate questions than it needs to look to answer on this. We did some digging. The figures are as credible as they come because they come from ofgem who is the industry regulator and what it shows us, and those figures that 8. 1 billion that is just from january, february and march this year. And no one is saying that there is anything wrong with credit per se. Sometimes you wrong with credit per se. Sometimes yu pay wrong with credit per se. Sometimes you pay a little bit more than you actually use in the summer so you build up that credit so that come september october its good to then use in the winter when your bills are higher and you are still paying the same amount. It are higher and you are still paying the same amount. Are higher and you are still paying the same amount. It helps smooth out the same amount. It helps smooth out the bills. The same amount. It helps smooth out the bills how the same amount. It helps smooth out the mus. How is the same amount. It helps smooth out the mus. How is it the same amount. It helps smooth out the bills.

If its working well it should rrot customers . If its working well it should not be customers . If its working well it should not be impacting customers . If its working well it i should not be impacting customers but, again, that takes into account the over that 12 month period your balance wants to be zero because youve earned it over the summer and paid it off in the winter. Round about april or may thats when youre credit should be £0 but we are in reality so it should be close to that. The problem is when that system doesnt work well in excess credit build up. Ive been speaking to dan malcolm who suffers from just that problem.

Catch deficit the American Team, for the europeans its all American Team, for the europeans its all about keeping the momentum llolli its all about keeping the momentum going on its all about keeping the momentum going on the second day of the ryder cup with going on the second day of the ryder cup with the first matches all under way and cup with the first matches all under way and early stages. And europe defending their history equalling five point lead, that they built up on the opening day. This was a moment that will go down in history, a putt from justin rose, which meant the final match of the day was tied and this denied the usa team, what would have been their only win, their last chance to get their colour red on the board. Its the first time, the americans failed to win a match in a day and the europeans celebrated the significance, and were in dreamland with their 6. 5 to 1. 5 advantage. Their togetherness as a team and with the european fans was there for all to see. You get the significance of the score, no word on the board, bob and i did not want to make that mistake. Sketch momentum this afternoon. What could easily have been a claw back for team usa. At the Rugby World Cup, new zealand showed last night that no one should write off their chances even if they did lose their opening match. Scotland are on the same side of the draw and are in action later, facing romania and a chance to a big score on the board thats one of three games today but every other team will have taken notice of the statement by the all blacks in lyon. They demolished an italy side, who some thought, might give the three time champions a scare. Instead, new zealand ran in 14 tries in total in a 96 17 win. Italy narrowly avoided becoming the first team since portugal in 2007, to concede 100 points in a Rugby World Cup match. It means new zealand are on the cusp of the quarter finals. Its a big weekend in rugby league with the Super League Play off elimators when the season will end for either st helens or warrington. James roby will play his final home game for saints in that one. Meanwhile, hull kr ended leigh leopards hopes, beating them in their super league eliminator 20 6. Revenge this for the Challenge Cup Final. The victory puts hull kr into the semi finals where theyll face Wigan Warriors or the catalan dragons and just one match away from their first ever appearance in the Super League Grand final.

Now do you remember Frank Rothwell who a few years ago at the age of 70, became the oldest person to complete the solo, trans Atlantic Rowing Challenge . Hes now 73, has recently had major Open Heart Surgery, and taken over a Football Club surely thats enough to deal with . But no, not for frank. He is back in a boat and is going to row the atlantic again on his own for 3,000 miles, aiming to smash his own record and raise another million plus, pounds towards this time, trying to find a cure for alzheimers. His boat is now on its way to the canaries for the start in december but before it left i went to see him back in training. Ready to make waves again. The 73 year old whos always, it seems, in fine voice. Im the kind of guy who will never settle down. As he was back in february 2021, after spending months at sea, rowing alone, non stop across the atlantic and dealing with the worst the ocean could throw at him. Making history and raising £1. 1 million for alzheimers research. Since then, hes survived life saving Open Heart Surgery and bought his local Football Club, oldham athletic, in the national league, where hes a very inspirational chairman. Hey, do we need three points this weekend . We certainly do. So tonight, none of that in the bar. No, early to bed so youre fully rested for a good day tomorrow. Hes such a great inspiration. Honestly, when i look at him, you know, i also want to be able to do these things when im, you know, when im that age. This winter, frank wont only be waving goodbye to his team over the busy christmas period, but also his wife and family again as he gets ready to row solo across the atlantic once more, aiming to beat his own world record. Owning a Football Club is a bigger challenge than rowing an ocean, because ive got an element of control with the rowing the ocean, but with the Football Club, theres so many other things that i have no control over. I knew when he came in at antigua he looked really well compared to what i thought he would look, mentally and physically. Some people came in and they was quite struggling, but he was like within two hours hes throwing the grandchildren in the swimming pool. Whoa, wait a minute. Youve just rowed the atlantic. You know, so he soon recovered from it. I knew he was missing it in a way. Then i think it was, you know, raising 1. 1 million, to do it again, it was on the agenda. The well, ive done it once. Ican see. Lets see what i can do. If i do it again. While im at sea, im going to be missing 13 games, i think, six home games and seven away games. Sojudith will be my representative, wont you, judith . Youll be there. I will be. Youll be waving the flag, stand in and be the chairman at the board meetings, judith. No. No way. Alzheimers research uk, which is the charity im rowing for, theyve changed their strap line now, its going for a cure. So while i could be part of that, and since ive done it, theres been two drugs on the market that can stall, delay, its onset. When hes had time away from the football, frank has been back on the water for training on hollingsworth lake, north of rochdale, and some sage advice from grandson, frankjunior. Oh, its going to be hard. Hes three years older. Thatll be harder. Frank wails. Oh, time flies by. Deal with it. So this is it for franks second epic crossing of the atlantic. The boat is actually four foot shorter. Its lighter, but crucially quicker. And franks in his Sleeping Quarters at the moment. And, you know, last time he had a bucket for a toilet. Well, hes upgraded now. Hes got luxury hi, frank now, then. What have you got for your. . Oh, well, this is the portable bathroom. So its still a bucket. But its got a seat. A homemade toilet seat. Frank hadnt been back in a boat since finishing his last challenge, but hes not lost his stamina and at least knows what to expect this time. Yeah. The biggest thing is missing family and your loved ones. You know, judith and myself, weve been married now for 50. 53 years and missing her every day, love her to bits. Last time, franks fundraising made a huge difference to alzheimers research, which is the driving force behind doing it again, especially after he personally lost a good friend to it this year. My mate phil died of alzheimers this year, so its been a real motivation seeing phil deteriorate from the person he was and i loved him to bits. Absolutely fantastic relationship we had. The next time frank will see his boat, itll be in the Canary Islands, ready for the start in early december. I know how big the waves are and i know how warm it gets and how cold it gets, and things that you have. And the boredom and big seas are always a problem. So the biggest problem would be the wind blowing the wrong way, you know . Or no wind at all. Oh, theres a buoy i didnt warn you about that. Sorry, i didnt see it. Oh, he nearly crashed me then we hit a buoy. Normally frank has always got his eyes on his rearview mirrors and thankfully, he wont have anyone distracting him on his 3,000 mile solo challenge, which this time he hopes to complete within 50 days. What you do not see there is how unstable what you do not see there is how unstable the boat is at one side.

The met office here in the uk so back and experience one of our warmest September Sun record but looking into europe, the National Weather service is reporting they have experienced their warmest september ever seen on record. If you listen to what is happening globally, bear with me. This graph shows global temperature each year since 1850, each one is a line but it is this black one i am interested in, the current year 23, not as far above any Previous Year that we have had on record. Climate scientists who produce the graph say it is very likely oversee this current year as the warmest ever year on record. Bringing signs of the climate changing very rapidly and we will see more warmth coming our way over the next few days. But weve got at the next few days. But weve got at the moment is no pressure in the north atlantic, Weather Fronts pushing in and bringing rain throughout the day but on the southern edge what we started do is drag and increasingly humid air across the country as we go through into sunday but more especially towards the south and east, could be a warm start to october. Its been a bit of a fresh start compared to the past few days, varying amounts of cloud, sunshine in the north and east the plot increasing, ran into was through this morning, lunchtime, Northern Ireland some heavy bursts of rain spreading into North West England in South West Scotland. Pretty strong winds this afternoon in around the irish sea but north east and the south of the country staying dry with sunshine. Highs of 21 in the south east, pressure further north but the one not as strong as they break yesterday. The wind will pick up tonight and tomorrow, some rain and some of that getting out of the way tonight but tomorrow morning, some heavy rain across Northern England, north and west wales, pushing south and east but look at the temperatures, 16 or 17 degrees, 2a degrees by the afternoon. Back to you. Weve been reporting how one of the uks most well known trees the Sycamore Gap Tree at Hadrians Wall was cut down earlier this week. This is how it looked, a much loved site for many people. Its something thats sparked a huge amount of anger and sadness, both here in the uk and internationally. Our reporter alison freemans been following this story and shes at site now. It doesnt stop being shocking, does it . Seeing the scale of the tree itself. Just what has happened and what has gone .

People are still coming by to see it for themselves, to see that it is true. Theres lots of grief and anger but thoughts are now turning to how this will affect the many local businesses who have relied on this iconic image for their trade over the years. Ive been speaking to some people about how they are feeling and catching up with some businesses. For many, it wasntjust a tree. It was a special place. When i saw it on the Television Last night, ijust had a lump in my throat. I just. Ifeelactually, ifeel im filling up now. Rae from sweden last visited five years ago with her family who live here. I didnt really believe it at first. So, i thought that, yeah, lets go and have a look. And unfortunately, it is true. Whilst the raw emotion was still clear from the steady stream of people visiting, concerns have begun to grow about the wider effect of the loss of the tree. At the twice brewed breweryjust down the road, the best selling beer is called sycamore gap. In the long term there was that |thing of say if nothing happens| to the sit,e in five years time weve got a beer called sycamore gap or weve got the tree as a logo. People are going to go, well, whats the tree for . Theres not many trees on here. Its the moorland, you know. So there is that thing that in the future we may have to look at rebranding on some of the things. Yeah. And the knock on effects could go further. The adjoining pub, like many other businesses in the area, the felling has brought a spike in customers, for now. The first initial impact will people be in disbelief and they may come and visit. But then in more distant times away. And then yes, they may seek other places because the tree isnt there. And it wont be such a draw for ourselves and all the businesses up here, you know. A team from the National Trust has taken samples from the tree in a bid to grow new ones. And as the police Investigation Continues, forensics officers were also on site taking evidence from around the stump. But the question of what was behind this still remains.

Thousands of men every year who undergo treatment for Prostate Cancer could safely be given far less radiotherapy thats according to a Major International trial. The pace b study found that Radiotherapy Doses can be cut by three quarters, meaningless pressure on the nhs. Heres our medical editor fergus walsh. There was no pain or inconvenience. The treatment was just so easy and swift there was no downside to it. Alistair kennedy rose feels extremely fortunate to have had his Prostate Cancer treated in just five sessions of radiotherapy. Eight years on, the 64 year old is still cancer free. It was almost as though id never had Prostate Cancer because i didnt have any symptoms to start with. And the treatment was so easy, ultimately, so very effective. He was treated here at the Royal Marsden hospital in london as part of a pivotal trial involving nearly 900 men at 38 hospitals in the uk, ireland and canada. All the men had medium risk Prostate Cancer, which had not spread. After five years 96 of the men whod had five high doses of multiple Beam Radiotherapy were cancer free, compared to 95 whod had at least 20 doses of standard radiotherapy. Both groups had low side effects. The pink area is the prostate gland. The medical director of the Royal Marsden led the International Trial. For him, this is a big moment. When i got the results, i was literally. I was blown away. I mean, it was probably one of the best days of my career. I think its fantastic news for patients and its brilliant news for the nhs. So what are the implications . Well, its going to be an enormous change. I expect that the nhs will rapidly adopt this. So instead of giving 20 doses of radiotherapy, we can give five. If we extrapolate that across the whole nhs, thats hundreds of thousands of doses of radiotherapy that are going to be saved. And in a system which is quite under pressure, thats going to be very welcome. Another likely change is less use of Hormone Therapy in future. None of the men on the trial was given any and so were spared the side effects like extreme fatigue, hot flushes and low libido. Itll mean a better experience cancer every year wholl be able to have all their Radiotherapy Treatment injust a week and without the need for Hormone Therapy. Very quiet, peaceful. Alistair� s Prostate Cancer was picked up after a simple blood test. He wants all men over 50 to get themselves checked. Fergus walsh, bbc news. Police in the us have charged a former gang leader with murdering the rapper tupac shakur 27 years ago. The hip hop artist was killed in a Drive By Shooting in las vegas. Our north america correspondent, Barbara Plett usher, has the latest. I see no changes. All i see is racist faces. Tupac shakur is still one of the best selling and most influential rappers of all time. He took off after the release of his debut album in 1991. Just five years later, he was gunned down. His career cut short. Shot on the Las Vegas Strip while waiting at a red light. Hit by bullets fired from a passing cadillac, he died six days later. Now, after 27 years, police have finally arrested a suspect. 27 years. For 27 years, the family of tupac shakur has been waiting forjustice. We are here today to announce the arrest of 60 year old dwayne keefe d for the murder of tupac shakur. He was the leader of a gang that was feuding with tupac� s record label, death row records. Police said the whole thing started with this fight at a las vegas hotel. Tupac and record executive suge knight punched and kicked a rival gang member. Keefe d is accused of then hatching the plan to retaliate. Fast forward to july this year. Police raided his home in a los angeles suburb. Hes the man on the right. The case had been revived in recent years, using his own words about the incident published in a memoir. Tupac� s musical legacy was honored at the Hollywood Walk Of Fame earlier this year. The questions surrounding his death have also gripped his fans. They may soon get their answers. Barbara plett usher, bbc news, washington. Two people were taken to hospital after the Flying Scotsman steam engine was involved in a crash with another Heritage Train in the cairngorms. The low speed collision took place at aviemore railway station, in the scottish highlands. Three other people were treated at the scene. Police said no injuries were serious. A man in his 60s has been arrested by Police Investigating the cutting down of the famous Sycamore Gap Tree in northumberland. The landmark was felled overnight on wednesday. A 16 year old boy, who was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage, has been released on bail. The Prime Minister is announcing a series of Transport Proposals to end what he called a war on motorists. Labour said rishi sunak had 13 years of tory failure to defend over transport. As part of the governments plans, local councils in england could be curbed from introducing 20 mile per hour speed limits on their roads. You have them where they make sense, outside you have them where they make sense, outside schools and so forth. What doesnt outside schools and so forth. What doesnt make sense is where theyre going doesnt make sense is where theyre going and doesnt make sense is where theyre going and regardless of local circumstances and where local authorities dont use steps to make roads authorities dont use steps to make roads safer~ authorities dont use steps to make roads safer. So they are not used to attack roads safer. So they are not used to attack drivers, they are used sensibly attack drivers, they are used sensibly with local consent. Rail passengers are facing more disruption today as around 12,000 Train Drivers stage their latest one day strike over pay and conditions. The fresh wave of action, by members of the aslef union, means fewer than half of trains will be operating. Next week, the union is also staging an overtime ban. Energy firms are holding onto too much of their customers money, in the form of account credit thats according to the chairman of the Energy Select committee. Figures seen by radio 4s money box reveal the total credit held in the first three months of this year was £8. 1 billion. Dan whitworth reports. Credit on energy bills is not a bad thing. You pay more in the summer to build it up. When your actual bills are smaller. You then use that credit in the winter when your bills are bigger, but you get to stay paying the same monthly amount, which helps smooth out your bill over 12 months, unless you end up paying too much and then struggle to get it back. Its laughable, isnt it . Youre telling me an off year sense of timely fashion. It shouldnt take me three full years of my time and a month and a half to get the my money back. Its not like £80, you know. Its a lot of money and its there, obviously, from a step of the way in, given the money back and made me work hard to get my money back. That doesnt make sense. In the first three months of this year, Energy Suppliers held more than £8 billion of customers money in the form of credit on peoples accounts, a figure which, according to one senior mp, dwarfs the £2 billion of Debt Suppliers were owed over the same period. Im quite staggered. I mean, we know that the energy debt is at £18 billion and this is four and a half times greater. This is a huge figure. So this dwarfs any debts owed to the Energy Companies collectively because customers collectively are given them and have them in credit by £8. 1 billion. Thats quite the bung the Energy Companies have got, probably unwittingly. Itd be interesting to see how this pans out over the entire year, but for the quarter four and quarter one, these are colossal figures and as i say, dwarf the debt. Energy uk, which speaks for suppliers, said at the time this credit was held, prices were extremely uncertain. The level of government help was unknown, and its not meaningful to compare credit and debt. If customers think theyre paying too much, they can ask for direct debits to be amended, and they have the right to have any credit refunded in a timely fashion. If customers still arent happy, they can complain to the energy ombudsman. Dan whitworth, bbc news. A State Of Emergency has been declared in new york after torrential downpours triggered flash floods turning streets into rivers. In some places, more than 10 centimetres of rain fell in just a few hours. Heres matt with a look at this mornings weather. Extraordinary scenes from new york. Lets put some numbers to that. Lets put some numbers to that. Lets take it to jfk lets put some numbers to that. Lets take it tojfk airport. 200 millimetres of rain falling in an urban area. Thats why we saw the extensive flooding. Thats about the same as birmingham seen three to four months worth of rain in the space of 2a hours. The rain falling new york was courtesy of this Weather System here. Sat over the same area throughout the day. This is now shifting eastwards. An improving picture there. This area of cloud has been moving in off the atlantic, so far this morning not bringing the same rainfall but a wet afternoon compare to what you had this morning. Showers in the west turning quickly wet and towards west wales. The far south and east will stay drier and brighter. In between that cloud extends Northern Ireland, southern scotland and North West England and to the west. We will see some strong and gusty winds particularly around the irish sea, 4045 particularly around the irish sea, 40 115 mph. Temperatures are on the cool side in the far north of scotland. Pleasant in the sunshine to the south east. 21 celsius. Dry here tonight, but rain will spread across scotland fairly erratically and then more heavy bursts of rain returned to west wales into the morning. Tomorrow morning, much warmer than this morning. Temperatures tonight across southern areas not dropping much lower than 1617 c. That areas not dropping much lower than 16 17 c. That humid air pushing its way across many southern east areas. Northern england to begin the day some heavy bursts of rain around, easing in sunny conditions in the afternoon. That Weather Front works its way towards the south west, lincolnshire and east anglia. Sunshine in the afternoon and one or two showers across scotland and Northern Ireland but today, for the south of that Weather Front we can see temperatures hitting 23 24 c, the warmest october in 12 years. That warmth is felt across much of europe under High Pressure but was still on the edge of it. Theres a chance of another Weather System pushing its way and so after a bright start then we will see more on the way of rain. Could be a bit misty and murky in the southern counties but in the south west of wales, rain developing and some passing sales for scotland and Northern Ireland and then more sunshine. Since the Prime Minister announced plans to ban american bully xl type dogs, Animal Charities say theyve had an increase in calls from worried pet owners. The government says its taking quick action to protect the public after a series of recent attacks but owners are now waiting to find out how a ban could affect them. John maguire reports. One year old rufus is a happy dog, but with a very uncertain future. Hes among the 20 here at the Hope Rescue Centre in south wales that may be affected by the ban on xl bullies and staff fear there may be a lot more to come. Since the pm announced the ban on xl bullies weve seen a massive increase in the number of phone calls messages were getting from panicked owners. Firstly, theyre worried about whether their dog is going to fit into this ban. So were hearing from not only owners of xl bullies, but of owners of other american bullies and just large bull breeds. Is their dog going to fit this ban . And what will that mean for the dog . If people are panicked and theyre not sure what to do, are we then going to see a higher number of dogs coming into our care, which at the moment when we are already working at capacity is is really scary for us. Good lad yeah. Good boy. This is the second time simon and nick have brought their xl bully creed to be trained to wear a muzzle. Hes rewarded with treats and with gentle persuasion is making very good progress. His owners are being proactive, anticipating a proposed law that would change the way they live with their dog. Id rather be ahead of the game and make sure were prepared. Creed has never worn a muzzle before. And he doesnt particularly like things near his face, so we thought it could take quite a while to get him comfortable with it. And i also want to make sure that if and when they do bring this rule in, were ready and were not trapped in the house and not able to take him out on a walk because we cant get a muzzle on him. They believe dangerous behaviour is derived from irresponsible breeders and owners caused by humans, not animals. Ijust think it should be notjust xls. I i think it should be tighter dog control for everyone. And i think if unfortunately your dog does attack someone, i you should pay the consequences. It should be treated the same i as like manslaughter or anything. And i think that would| control a lot of issues. At the dog academy near milton keynes, theyve been inundated with requests for help since the Prime Minister announced his intention to ban the breed. People are getting really overwhelmed. Theres a lot of people who have been coming in with dogs that theyjust want and whatever going to wear a muzzle . I know a couple of people whove had their pets put to sleep already because they havent either been able to afford it or the stigma attached to it. Its a really, really hard decision for a lot of people, you know, cairos owners have so far tried unsuccessfully to muzzle him at home. Hes a large dog, but at nine months is still a puppy and is already taking to this method. His owners are not sure of his exact breed but arent taking any chances. Hes showed so much potential as well. I so we do feel like its quite heartbreaking. I so thats why were trying to take these steps before anything i comes into place. Determining whether or not a dog belongs to a banned breed is difficult, and there are concerns the law will affect responsible owners while doing little to tackle those who already abuse existing laws, the system and the dogs themselves.

They are asking lots of questions, what will happen . What can they do . And thats good that people are asking questions early on and looking for support because there are things they can do. Coming to the Welfare Charity like this is a good first step because you can find the training needed to understand what your responsibilities are as an owner. , , what your responsibilities are as an owner. ,. , ,. , what your responsibilities are as an owner. ,. ,. ,. , owner.

Unfortunately, we see more strays might be xl bullies . Yes. Unfortunately, we see more strays at this time of year but this week weve had two dogs that we believe might fall into the xl bullies category because its a real worry because being able to secure their future is a real challenge. Its highly likely we wont be able to rehome them and we will have to make the difficult decision to euthanise them. Its incredibly hard. But our work and what weve done is very hard. We assess animals individually and its inborn for us not to put out animals that are threats to members of the publics and our other pets. Important for us. Its incredibly hard to have to make these decisions based on the type of breed. What it looks like, the measurements of that breed. Its a really challenging time for many and the concern for us is that there is a suggestion that banning a breed type would suggest that people will be safe in the community and we are concerned that more needs to be done to address the issues and the terrible situation that is happening with people being injured and killed by dogs. Theres a lot that needs to be done to consider the root causes of a ban and these issues have certainly not been addressed. Whats obvious is that certainly not been addressed. Whats obvious is that lots certainly not been addressed. Whats obvious is that lots of certainly not been addressed. Whats obvious is that lots of responsible i obvious is that lots of responsible owners, the vast majority are responsible. Have you had many coming to you dogs now who dont know whether their dog is one breed or another. There is a lot of confusion. You can own a dog and not be sure what it is. Be sure what it is. Absolutely. A hu. E be sure what it is. Absolutely. A huge amount be sure what it is. Absolutely. A huge amount of be sure what it is. Absolutely. A huge amount of confusion. I be sure what it is. Absolutely. A i huge amount of confusion. Theres not really a standard set for this xl bully. We know from experience that pit bull types that is done through measurement and the experts have to look at about 60 different points of the dog to assess whether it is that and we will have the same with xl bully, there is potential that the government will put in the characteristics and measurements, with a many would fall into that. Its important, its really good that people are seeking advice and considering this but if in doubt i would absolutely speak to a welfare organisation. We can help with muscle training, its important to take the time to get dogs used to muzzle training, walking on a lead. Theres a lot you can do to keep it safe. Its not the end of the world if you do muzzle training for other dogs and if its not. We are getting inquiries which encourage more people. There are charities with good resources and advice for people and as we learn more from the government we will add more to those training packages as well.

It gives young writers a chance to tell a story theyd love to read. To mark the launch, weve been meeting some everyday storytellers as well as inspirational young people to find out how writing can lead to bigger and better things. Shaun peel has more. Hi. How you doing . Lets see. So, im amanda. We all tell stories. Every day mightjust be about what happened at work or school with a bit of embellishment. Amanda smith from the charity read for good goes into hospitals like thejenny lind in norwich and spins magical yarns to help children forget their pain for a while. Today, ella is the audience, unlike your friend. Today, ella is the audience. Whats exciting and really interesting, especially about a story writing competition, is that you start wherever you are, whatever idea ignites in your imagination, and then you roll with it and you dont know how its going to end. And so its a really exciting process. And when you finish, sometimes you kind of sit there and go, wow, what happened there . Ijust made this thing up and i had no idea that that story was in me. And i think thats really valuable. Sisters kirsten and avon from northampton entered 500 words four years ago. They didnt win, but they loved the process so much. The process so much they kept on writing and went on to self publish their own novels. Now theyre going to schools to inspire other students. We decided to put our own books into School Libraries because we wanted to show children that no matter how young you are, no matter where youre from, no matter what your background is, you can do anything. 500 words is important to me because not only did it kickstart everything that we do now, it also taught me a lesson to say that failure doesnt equal simplyjust failure. It showed me resilience in that just because you fail doesnt mean that has to be the end of the story. Its simple. Children between 5 and 11 are asked to write a fictional story they would love to read in no more than 500 words. So what would yours be about . It would definitely include a horse. Maybe it can also fly as well. And it flies by doing massive trumps. Like a little top trumps. Like their character. My 500 word story i would be set in space. Thats a best seller. Im going to write this. Back at thejenny lind hospital, ella decided there and then that she would start writing her story. Well, id say, like near the end, you want to put baddies, but the first we want to introduce the like good people. And then in the middle of the story, near the end, id put like baddies and like wizards and scary people, monsters. And then at the end, id finish off with a happy ending doing like, like the happy people for me, start doing like, got the baddies to prison. And that is the end of my story. The end of that story, but maybe the start of yours. Shaun peel reporting there. And to find out everything you need to know and the full terms and conditions and privacy notices head to bbc. Co.

The time is 9 35am and my concern of the sport coming up in just a couple of moments. And mike has all the sport. In april 1999, the bbc presenter and journalistjill dando was shot dead on her doorstep in london with a single bullet in broad daylight. Twenty four years on and despite one of the biggest murder investigations in british history, the case remains unsolved. Now, her brother nigel hopes a new three part Netflix Documentary will help solve the mystery of her murder. Scott ellis reports. In the national and world news this morning. Jill dando, born in weston super mare. I have to be honest, the sea here is never blue. She rose to considerable fame as a bbc presenter. That came to a violent end in april 1999. The golden girl of british television. Murdered on her doorstep. In broad daylight. A new three part Netflix Documentary investigates the 37 year olds murder. Jills brother, a former newspaper and bbc radio bristoljournalist, hopes for new leads. Perhaps somebody who saw something on the day, who didnt think it was that important at the time, but then realises the relevance of what theyve seen or heard, | or even the killer themselves. Its never too late to jogj somebodys conscience, prick somebodys conscience, and maybe theyll give themselves up to the police. And we can get closure i on this case and find out exactly who killed jill. Barry george is interviewed in the documentary. He was acquitted ofjill� s murder after eight years in prison. The other lines of investigation are looked at. Perhaps it was a serbian hitman in revenge for natos bombing of a belgrade tv station, or a crazed stalker . Even an underworld hit . Jill worked with the bbc� s crimewatch programme. Nigel has his own theory. My thoughts are that she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I somebody was walking along that street who either knew her, perhaps wanted five minutes of notoriety for whatever reason was armed and used the gun to kill her. So its just around. I believe it wasjust a random killing. News from the bbc. Jill dandos murder led to one of the biggest ever investigations by the met police. 4,000 people were interviewed, but 2a years on, it remains a mystery. The dilemma for the family has always been whyjill was killed. Theres no obvious reason, but as i say, its never too late for somebody to come forward and give us the explanation i as to what really, truly happened on that day. | nigel admits, though, his sisters murder may remain unsolved.

Yes, it was an incredible day looking americans . Yes, it was an incredible day for looking americans . Yes, it was an incredible day for europe looking americans . Yes, it was an| incredible day for europe yesterday. I do not think in their wildest dreams they could have asked only for anything more. The us showed some signs of life in the afternoon session but they could ultimately only tie through of the matches. In accessible drama on the 18th hole, especially from justin rose holed a putt to tie his match, what that meant to the european players and to justin rose himself was obvious. Incredible drama, a terrific day for europe but a terrible one for the us. And afterwards, some interesting comments from the us captain zach johnson who said there had been some illness in the us team. He did not give too many details but he said it affected the energy level is perhaps of some of the us players but would the reasons, the us need something very special indeed if they are to launch a comeback. very special indeed if they are to launch a comeback. Launch a comeback. I suppose if euro e launch a comeback. I suppose if eur0pe keep launch a comeback. I suppose if eur0pe keep un launch a comeback. I suppose if europe keep up this launch a comeback. I suppose if europe keep up this way launch a comeback. I suppose if europe keep up this way to launch a comeback. I suppose if europe keep up this way to progress it will be a case of when not if they were the trophy . Let it will be a case of when not if they were the trophy .

You can see the fans are strung in | you can see the fans are strung in behind me. The first band started arriving when it was pitch black outside, such confidence and optimism after the performance yesterday and they will head to the first team, the usual ryder cup atmosphere, lots of noise, loads of colour and fancy dress. The european fans not surprisingly in excellent voice and they have had plenty more to cheat this morning. I can tell you europe have won another match in quite remarkable fashion, the hoagland and his compatriot have thrashed Brooks Koepka and Scottish Opera he had a dreadful time. The one european pillar right nine and seven, the biggest win in any ryder cup match in history. It was in absolute trouncing and that really sums up the way things have been going. Europe now leading by 7. 5 points to 1. 5 points, leading into the other three matches out on the course at the moment. Unless something pretty dramatic happens from the us, we could be looking at one of the most one sided rider cup tournaments we have ever seen. Thank ou so tournaments we have ever seen. Thank you so much. Tournaments we have ever seen. Thank you so much. Great tournaments we have ever seen. Thank you so much, great to tournaments we have ever seen. Thank you so much, great to see tournaments we have ever seen. Thank you so much, great to see all tournaments we have ever seen.

Onto rugby league, and the elimators, and the season will end today for st helens, or warrington who meet in their winner takes all clash. Last night, it was hull kr who advanced at the expense of the leigh leopards so getting revenge for what happened in the Challenge Cup Final earlier this year. This time hull kr beat the leopards in their super league eliminator 20 6. The victory puts them into the semi finals where theyll face Wigan Warriors or the catalan dragons and just one match away from their first ever appearance in the Super League Grand final. Waiting times for Sheffield Wednesday after the owner released a statement about his treatment by disgruntled fans. Saying he will not put any money into the club. Some are better on the pitch, when mr bottom of the championship table before being thrashed 3 0 by sunderland. We must do to win a game this season, sunderland or up to fourth. Now to the Rugby World Cup where scotland are the only home nation in action this weekend and they will be hoping to get a big score on the board against romania, as they build up to their make or break match against ireland next weekend.
