Tu rkeys turkeys invasion has been criticised and condemned but so far, the world is merely watching as conflict consumes northern syria. Tens of thousands of kurds have fled their homes, their soldiers fought alongside the us against Islamic State and they believe america could have prevented this. Many feel betrayed. Translation these countries do not see what is going on, america, russian, iran, they do not see this. America says it is with us but america sold us out like russia did, they sold us out, we know they did. In the United States, there is growing concern about all of this instability.

As we mentioned earlier typhoon hagibis is about to make landfall on the japanese coast this morning. We can now speak to Rupert Wingfield hayes, whos live in tokyo for us. Just give us a sense of what the conditions are like. As you can probably see, that is tokyo behind me, you cannot see most of it but you can see the size is of shinjuku, but you cannot because we are under the leading edge of the typhoon and this is an enormous storm but it really covers most of the japanese archipelago so, you know, 1000 miles across, this storm, at its outer edges, and we have been seeing torrential rain that getting now for several hours already. That is expect to continue up to 1000 millimetres of rain, is it is expected to fall in some parts of japan today and into tonight so that swelling rivers, has the potential for causing landslides and flooding and is the real worry right now but later on today, the storm itself, the eye of the storm is expected to come on shore, south of tokyo, and it will be packing winds of up to 130 140 it will be packing winds of up to 130 140 kilometres an hour, close to 100 miles an hour, destructive winds and it is expected to pass right over the top of where i am in central tokyo sometime later tonight so central tokyo sometime later tonight so this is a very big storm, it has shut down pretty much the whole of greater tokyo, all transport is down, metro, railways, bullet train has been shut down, airports shut down, and of course all sporting fixtures, or most of them, across japan have been called off today, of course including the big Rugby World Cup matches, including england france much that was meant to take place today and many rugby fans disappointed by that but it is hoped that the rugby will be back on tomorrow once the storm has passed. It was a little bit more about the severity of the conditions because obviously, safety is paramount, you we re obviously, safety is paramount, you were talking about those sporting fixtures. But has to have been the Decision Making process from the authorities. Yes, there has been some unhappiness about why the rugby matches, particularly england france were cancelled instead of postponed, but it isnt clear why thatis postponed, but it isnt clear why that is the case but a lot of people standing here in tokyo this afternoon right now may say it is just a bit of heavy rain so what is the worry . What i would say to people is wait until later on today. These winds, when they come in, when the eye of the typhoon comes into shore, the winds picks up very fast and they are very dangerous, they can pick up objects, throw them down the street, flying debris is the big concern if you are out on the street and the advice to everybody injapan is stay off the streets this evening, stay inside, be safe. Tokyo isa evening, stay inside, be safe. Tokyo is a place and japan a place you know well, rupert. How well prepared are they for these sorts of conditions . Japan is an extremely well prepared conditions . Japan is an extremely well prepa red country for all sorts of events like this, typhoons come into japan regularly every year during the typhoon season. 0ne into japan regularly every year during the typhoon season. One this size doesnt been seen since 1958 but the flood defences along the rivers and coast are very good, but that does not mean they cannot be overwhelmed. But they are good. The real worry i think it all of these cases is with this amount of rain, is landslides. Japan is a very mountainous country. It is a heavily populated country. Landslides can be incredibly destructive. Ive seen it before in the past with the villagers buried and districts and towns buried in previous years. It is difficult to prevent against that and when it comes, it is terrifying and when it comes, it is terrifying and it can cause great, great destruction. Rupert, for the moment, thank you very much. We get a real sense there of the conditions expected to hit land at the major pa rt expected to hit land at the major part of the typhoon during the morning so we will keep a close eye on morning so we will keep a close eye o n eve nts morning so we will keep a close eye on events there. Just coming up to ten minutes past six and some other news to bring you. A man arrested on suspicion of stabbing shoppers at the Arndale Shopping Centre in manchester has been detained under the Mental Health act. The male, in his 405, was held on suspicion of committing a terrorism offence before being assessed by specialist doctors. Lets get the latest now from our reporter dave guest, whos in Manchester City centre for us today. Dave, good to see you. Tell us what happened. Good morning. Basically yesterday morning in the Arndale Centre behind me a man suddenly started lunging at people with a knife. 0bviously started lunging at people with a knife. Obviously it took everyone by surprise and there was a certain amount of panic and distress at this and eyewitnesses said hejust appeared to be lunging at people randomly. In all, five people were hurt, three suffered stab wounds and the other two suffered more superficial injuries and thankfully none of those injuries were life threatening. Armed police were on the scene here within five minutes or so but before then, two unarmed Community Support officers actually attempted to tackle the man with a knife and he ended up chasing after them but as i say, armed officers on the scene very quickly and they brought him under control and they brought him under control and arrested him and he has now been detained as you say under the Mental Health act and this was treated as a potential terrorist incident because of the nature of the crime that was committed obviously, somebody running around with a knife in a shopping centre. Of course Shopping Centres such as the Arndale Centre do have procedures in place to react should Something Like this happen and those procedures swung into effect very quickly at the arndale yesterday morning, shops immediately put down their shutters and people in the shops were told to go to the back of the store so they would be kept safe, the police were quickly on the scene and the man detained in police that they are satisfied that no one else was involved in this and this was a loan operator. They are still keeping their minds open as to the motivation for this attack lone. 0f the motivation for this attack lone. Of course the city is no stranger to the dangers of terrorism because you will remember in may 2017 at the manchester arena, just a stones throw from here, 22 people died when a suicide bomber killed himself there. Dave, thank you very much. British and eu officials will continue brexit talks this weekend, amid rising speculation a deal is on the cards which could break the deadlock over the irish border. The eus chief negotiator Michel Barnier gave the green light yesterday for intensive discussions between officials to start. Lets get the latest on this now from our Political Correspondent john 0wen. Morning to you. We are reaching a crucial time in these discussions andi crucial time in these discussions and i dare say there is a to what we will know as to exactly what is being discussed . I think that is right, first of all it is right to say that there is a significant contrast with where we are now verses where we were just a few days ago where these talks were thought to be in serious trouble, perhaps evenin to be in serious trouble, perhaps even in danger of imminent collapse. Instead what we are seeing is an intensification of talks between the eu and the uk. I think the change in the mood music probably came about on thursday morning after a conversation between the irish taoiseach, leo varadkar, and boris johnson, a positive meeting after which both sides agreed they could now see a pathway to a deal. That led to speculation they could have been some kind of concession from the uk side on that really intractable question of whether there can be, under the customs status of Northern Ireland, after brexit. It is worth remembering that in previous proposals, borisjohnson committed the uk to leaving because leaving the Customs Union in its entirely including Northern Ireland and some speculation as to whether thatis and some speculation as to whether that is still the position of the uk 01 that is still the position of the uk or not. It is also worth saying that there is an extremely difficult path, pathway to trade over the next few days to get the deal ready for the eu Leaders Summit on thursday and friday and then potentially through the house of commons on saturday. John, for the moment, thank you. England fans have been involved in violent clashes with police in prague, with several supporters arrested. There are some flashing images in the pictures were about to show. Thousands travelled to watch the three lions take on the Czech Republic in a euro 2020 qualifier a game they lost 2 1. Police said 14 foreigners were among 31 people arrested, and one england fan was left with head injuries that needed treatment. Those are the main stories for you this morning. Now for some record breaking news. This avocado has earned the title of the worlds heaviest, weighing in at 5. 6 pounds, the same as a small baby. It is bigger than an average 12 year olds head. The record breaking avocado is no more, though. It apparently made enough guacamole for 20 people. The pokini family, who grew it, say they hope to harvest more giant avocados in december. It isa it is a whopper. It is official. It is a whopper. It is officiallj it is a whopper. It is officiallj think it is a whopper. It is official. think that would be bigger than my head. I dont think it would be bigger than your head. But we havent got any more, it has now been sliced into pieces. We need to get somebody who is 5. 6 pounds. We could do that, but it wont prove anything, because it is not necessarily the same density. It might be the same weight, but it wouldnt be the same size. Just suggesting. Heres alina with a look at this mornings weather. Good morning to you. We are focusing on japan. We saw good morning to you. We are focusing onjapan. We saw Rupert Wingfield hayes, and the typhoon is coming in. How have we been pronouncing it . Hagibis. You can see how it has been developing. Notice the really defined eye. It has weakened slightly as it has approached japan, but dont let that full year. This isa but dont let that full year. This is a very dangerous storm, and it is a three pronged attack, really, because weve got some very dangerous waves. We got some damaging winds with speeds in excess of 100 damaging winds with speeds in excess of100 mph, and also damaging winds with speeds in excess of 100 mph, and also some torrential rain as well. We could well see 600 millimetres over a 24 hour period. So that is likely to bring some landslides, and it is hitting a highly densely populated area, so keeping a close eye on the tokyo area over the coming hours. We are expecting this typhoon to make la ndfall expecting this typhoon to make landfall in the next couple of hours, so that is evening timejapan time, and probably around perhaps mid to late morning our time. So we will keep an eye on it as we go through this morning. Back home, i think nearly as severe, nothing nearly as severe but still u nsettled. Nearly as severe but still unsettled. Given that the rain is already quite saturated in places, this brings the risk of flooding and there are flood warnings in place tied into this frontal system. This isa tied into this frontal system. This is a cloud associated with it, draped all the way back in the endangered. It is going to continue to waive its way across the uk during the weekend. And todays focus of the heavy rains across southern parts of england and south wales. Some of that rain already quite heavy across South West England and south wales, and through the day which is its way eastwards. So really in a line from cornwall towards southern norfolk. To the north of this weve got some spells of sunshine for many. Some showers across parts of wales, north west england, the west of Northern Ireland, also for the highlands of scotla nd ireland, also for the highlands of scotland and into the northern isles. But for many, perhaps escaping the showers, mainly dry. The wind is not as strong as they we re the wind is not as strong as they were yesterday and temperatures generally around the mid teens. Perhaps we could get up to 16 or 17 ac
