years ago. the victim said matthew white who was named as a suspect by the bbc injune told him during the attack that there had been no consequences for killing "stephen". daniel de simone reports. it's britain's most notorious racist murder. 30 years ago, stephen lawrence was stabbed to death while waiting for a bus by a gang of young white men in eltham, south london. five prime suspects became infamous. two were finallyjailed in 2012. a lead attacker with fair hair was never identified. but, this year, a bbc investigation named matthew white, who died two years ago, as a sixth suspect and exposed the met�*s repeated failure to properly investigate him. i've now found new evidence which poses serious questions for the force. i told him to stop, then he used — i don't want to say — the n word. bethel ikpeze was racially abused and almost stabbed with a dirty syringe by matthew white. the security officer prevented white from stealing from an eltham supermarket. the next thing i saw was he sat up with a needle. he wasjust coming. and if he had hit you, what do you think the result would have been? he came in. put him down. iasked him, "do you want to kill me?" he said, "yes, i will kill you." he says white then made an alarming admission. he said, ok, rememberthat they've done it at the bus stop there — to a fellow like me, in the past — but nothing happened, he's still here. i said, ok, if you have done it before, i don't know who you did it to. that was when the word — i can remember now — the word "stephen". when the police turned up here, bethel ikpeze says he told them everything, including that matthew white had said about killing before and mentioned the name "stephen". he says he never heard from the met again. white pleaded guilty to using threatening words and having a syringe in public. he wasn't charged with trying to stab his victim or with racial abuse. the crown prosecution service says the police's evidence contained no mention of racial abuse. the met says it apologises if the case wasn't investigated as it should have been. matthew white was jailed for four months. he shared a cell with this man, who says he spoke of his link to the stephen lawrence case. what he said was that if i could see the papers about the whole case — if i ever did — that he's referred to quite a lot in the paperwork, that he was the blond—haired figure that's referred to throughout the paperwork and that he was involved in the incident. we previously revealed matthew white looked like the unidentified suspect sometimes known as the blond attacker. he said that, yeah, that they completely mishandled it and failed, really, to properly investigate him. the met says it's satisfied all relevant inquiries related to white were considered prior to his death. the other remaining suspects for stephen's murder remain free. his parents want fulljustice, but have no confidence in the met. daniel de simone, bbc news, eltham. an australian woman suspected of poisoning and killing three people after serving them a lunch containing deadly mushrooms has appeared in court. erin patterson faces three counts of murder and five of attempted murder. she says she didn't intentionally poison her former in—laws and their relatives. 0ur correspondent simon atkinson is in leongatha, outside the house where erin patterson was arrested. he sent this update. police are back here today. it was yesterday they came and did a great deal of searching of the property. they took away boxes and boxes of material and now they are returned in the last couple of hours. what we have learned from the court appearance earlier today, erin patterson had a very, very brief court appearance where she was remanded in custody. but one of the things which came out of that was the police said they had obtained so much material, including computer equipment, that it was going to take them they estimated 20 weeks to trawl through it to try and establish what should happen next. and the judge agreed to that delay. and what that means is she is not going to be back in court now until may of next year. so clearly lots and lots for the police to work through. the other interesting thing i would say that we learned from the court documents which were released today, they related to some of those charges of attempted murder. and of those five, four, we now understand, are in relation to herformer husband, one in the house behind me, the meal in which all of these are the poisonings allegedly took place. but the rest, historic, over the past few years where it is alleged that she tried to poison her, her ex—husband on several occasions. australia's prime minister anthony albanese will travel to china this weekend, where he will meet president xi jinping and other chinese officials. the two countries do a huge amount of trade together, but political disputes have soured the relationship and led to beijing imposing a string of tariffs on australian products. so does this visit signal an easing in the strained relationship between australia and its largest trading partner? the bbc�*s nick marsh reports. just the two of us. we can make it if we try. china and australia are two countries that need each other, but recently they've not been getting on. they've had bust—ups over bali. quarrels over coal. a they've had beef... ..over beef. for a while it didn't seem good. but recently, things have begun to improve. it's a bit of a funny relationship, so let's take a look at what's going on. australia needs china before this latest rift. nearly half of australia's exports went to china. so when china started putting restrictions on australian goods, businesses and their workers took a $20 billion hit. true, you can sell things like barley, wine and coal to other countries. but why would you go to all of that effort when the chinese market is right there to do? market is right there? and a second china needs australia. that's because china builds a lot. you want to build a new airport? well, australia is the global leader in iron ore production. you want to build batteries for evs? australia's got half of the world's lithium supply. these kinds of crucial commodities were never on china's tariff lists. and australia knows why. beijing might be the economic superpower in this relationship but canberra does hold some of the cards. and lastly, the united states is actually going to be crucial to all of this because make no mistake, when push comes to shove, australia is really on the american side of the superpower struggle. don't forget it was the first country in the world to ban huawei's 5g. just to give you one example. now the us is pretty demanding on its allies and naturally this is going to put a strain on the relationship between australia and china. this recent normalisation of ties between the two countries does show that they want to keep things purely business. but with all these external pressures, the question is whether they're going to be able to keep it... ..just the two of them get it. the indian capital, delhi, is in the grip of thick smog.... these pictures were filmed a short while ago in the centre of the city. the world health organisation says that 2.5 particles — which are so small they can enter the bloodstream — are currently at almost 35 times the maximum recommended amount. government—run and private primary schools in delhi are being closed for the next two days. the smog is caused by a combination of crop stubble burning, after the harvest, and growing industrial and vehicle emissions. as their state visit to kenya continues, king charles and queen camilla have spent their third day marking britain's close defence cooperation with the country. they visited a naval base and watched kenyan marines carry out a training exercise in the port city mombassa. 0ur royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. variety is always a feature of royal visits, and the military component is generally a strong one. on a beach near kenya's second city, mombasa, the kenyan marine corps demonstrated what was described as a covert beach landing. not that there was anything terribly covert once they'd got ashore. watching from a distance, king charles, captain general of britain's royal marines, who trained the kenyans, and queen camilla. colourful welcomes also tend to feature strongly on these tours. and then there are the events which address the king's long—standing interests. the fact that he's now on the throne rather than heir to the throne, has curtailed his freedom to canvass on issues that matter to him. but on anything to do with the environment, his interest is undiminished. and here, people are trying to save the coral reef. the king was shown ways in which local people are encouraging the coral to grow again, after the damaging impact of pollution and the uncontrolled collection of coral. concrete blocks and other structures are fitted with fragments of coral, which will help the reef to regenerate. and then on a beach on the edge of the indian ocean, the king gave the signal to float one of the blocks with its coralfragments out to the reef and to sink it. one small gesture, among many others, taken with royal approval to protect the natural environment. nicholas witchell, bbc news, mombasa. 0ur senior africa correspondent anne soy gave this analysis of how questions about colonial legacy have surround the king's visit. it has been a mixed bag. the king's visit has highlighted the past. it's brought it to the conversation tables in people's living room. in the media here in kenya, people have been talking about the colonial legacy. 0n the one hand, recognising that the two countries share a lot as a result of that history, with its language, education and defence, trade. the king has been meeting with tech entrepreneurs on his visit. but also looking at that difficult period, the colonial period, and especially in the lead up to independence when there was the uprising, mostly in central kenya which the colonial government launched a crushing crackdown on and he has acknowledged that as a painful past and has said those acts were unjustifiable and abhorrent. many kenyans have welcomed that but they were hoping to hear more. they were hoping to hear the king apologise. britain's marine conservation society, says public sightings ofjellyfish in the uk's seas has increased by a—third — to more than 1,700 last year. scientists say this abundance is a sign of the world's oceans heating up. but they say more research is needed to understand the precise link between more frequentjellyfish sightings and climate change. tim muffett reports. no brain, no bones, no heart and no eyes. jellyfish are amongst the most mysterious creatures on earth. there's been a big rise in the number ofjellyfish spotted over the past 12 months in uk and irish waters. an increase of almost a third on the previous year. the barreljellyfish — the uk's largest — was the most frequently sighted in the marine conservation society's survey. so at the moment, the jury is out as to why we might be seeing increases in certain jellyfish species. we know that they operate on boom—and—bust population cycles. so we might be just seeing a 20—year boom cycle for barrel jellyfish in uk waters. but at the same time, we know that our oceans are changing, we know our seas are getting warmer and our warmer winters are probably making our oceans much better for barreljellyfish. the lion's mane jellyfish was the second most frequently spotted. like manyjellyfish species, its sting can be painful to humans, as can that of the portuguese man 0'war. it's not technically a jellyfish, but is also often spotted around our coastline and washed up on beaches. we always say look, but don't touch, because if you get stung by a lion's mane jellyfish, it will really spoil your day. the increases in the number of portuguese man 0'war strandings in the uk could be related to the increased frequency and intensity of these late autumn and winter storms that we're seeing, bringing more of these animals into our waters. not everyone will welcome the thought of more jellyfish around our coastline, but these fascinating creatures have become a more common sight. let's now go back to our top story and ijust want let's now go back to our top story and i just want to let's now go back to our top story and ijust want to bring you some

clearer slots as well. take today. this is the swirl of what was left off storm ciaran, clearing away, easing off. this will bring some heavy rain to england and wales tomorrow, but in between you will notice that clear a window, which is with most of us. it won't be completely dry, there will be scattering showers some heavy and thundery, but some will stay dry throughout the day. the biggest exception will be the north and north—east of scotland, a band of rain pushing its way westwards on what will still be fairly strong winds. a fairly blustery day. a fairly blustery day. but the wind is certainly down on those destructive ones we saw yesterday. afternoon temperatures close to where we should be at this stage in november. going through tonight, that cloud and rain across scotland continuing to fizzle out, and does storm ciaran, and at the same time, that bank of cloud will bring persistent rain to south wales and south—west england. by the end of the night, with strengthening winds towards the south. mild enough in the south, but a chillier further north, but a chillier night further north, and a bit of a north—south split tomorrow. this area of low pressure will bring strong winds to france and across spain, still close to the channel islands, and the gales hampering the clean—up. a band of rain sweeps its way northward, followed by sunshine and some very lively showers which could cause minor flooding issues. sussex and kent particularly, but scotland and northern ireland a quieter day on saturday, sunny spells and clear skies going into saturday night if you have any plans, but lots of cloud for england and wales, heaviest in the far south—east of england. this area of low pressure from saturday eases away into the north sea for sunday, and then it is fact that quieter window again, so drier conditions, especially across central and eastern areas, a few showers possible, showers most likely across the western half of the country through the day, some of those on the heavy and thundery side, and around the coast again there could be some locally rather large rainfall totals. that leads us into sunday night of course, bonfire night. if you do have any plans for the evening, it does look like they will be some clearer spells, certainly compared with saturday. in central eastern areas, showers are most frequent in the west. take care. live
