Stunned and humiliated. Their contract with australia has been simply binned. Ordered back home by President Macron, the french ambassador to canberra was as polite as he could be about the reasons for frances anger. I think this has been a huge mistake. A very, very bad handling of the partnership because it was not a contract. It was a partnership. This evening, the Foreign Minister, jean yves Le Drian, spoke again on national television. Translation there has been lying, duplicity, a major Breach Of Trust and contempt. This will not do. Things are not going well between us. It means there is a crisis. I am with the president of france and that makes me feel better. Just a few months ago, it was all smiles at the G7 Summit in cornwall between president s biden and macron, and all talk of cooperation and shared challenges. But behind the scenes, the french are convinced that the three english speaking nations were hatching the plan to cut them out. The fallout is potentially very great. Britain needs a functioning nato alliance. My worry is that this does deep damage to nato, going well beyond the diplomatic row over an arms deal. As they assess the damage, the french are asking themselves tough questions. Who now can be relied on as a serious Military Ally . Noticeably, here at the french foreign ministry, The One ambassador who has not been recalled is The One to london. One reason being put about is that the french regard the british role in the new pact as being that of a junior partner, but it does also suggest a willingness to keep lines of communication open. The souring of relations is in stark contrast to when President Macron visited an australian submarine in 2018. With an election coming early next year, he has, perhaps, to act tough, but his angry reaction has broad support. For most people, its not the government thats been humiliated, but france. Hugh schofield, bbc news, paris. Relatives of the family of ten afghan civilians, killed in an american Drone Strike in afghanistan last month, say the attack amounted to a war crime. Us officials have admitted it was a mistake. This is all that remains of the Toyota Corolla that The Americans tracked for hours, as they convinced themselves entirely incorrectly that it was packed with explosives. Five of the seven dead children were playing in the car when it was hit. Its owner, zemari ahmadi, who they believed, wrongly, was an islamic state bomber, had just driven it home from his work with an american aid organisation. The survivors have moved out. After their terrible loss, they want Compensation And Resettlement in a safe country. This was americas last act of war before it pulled out of afghanistan, and the decision to fire the missile smacks of panic. And what a legacy. It isnt necessarily the Parting Shot of The Americans, because they still have the capacity to hit targets from the air. The us relies increasingly on drones. Across the road, the neighbours are still traumatised by what they heard and saw. Parisa said, there was an explosion, i picked up brain and Human Flesh from the ground. Americas latest deadly blunder shows how dangerous its drone strategy can be for civilians. Jeremy bowen, bbc news, kabul. Now to the us, where the department of Homeland Security has moved around 2,000 people from a camp in a Border Town in texas. Animal rights activists have marched in madrid calling for a ban on Bull Fighting. Although the festivals draw crowds still, public interest in Bull Fighting has shrunk. An illegal outdoor Drinking Party in the grid in which thousands of people took part has been contempt by university authorities. Police say 25,000 people were involved in the biggest gathering in spain since the start of the covid pandemic. Last night has been condemned. It was reportedly to celebrate the start of term. Restoration work can finally get under way at the Notre Dame Cathedral two years after it was damaged in a huge file. Until now, efforts have focused on securing the building. The aim is to open it in three years. Amid rising global Gas Prices and warnings of higher Gas Bills for consumers, Uk Ministers have been holding urgent talks with Energy Industry leaders. Its understood that four small energy companies are likely to go under next week. The Uk Business secretary, Kwasi Kwarteng, says protecting customers is an � absolute priority� for the government. Heres our business correspondent, katy austin. Gas is a key source of the energy that heats our homes and powers our industries. Since the start of the year, wholesale prices have soared, almost doubling in the uk, prompting the government to hold urgent talks with the Energy Industry today. Reasons for the increase include lower wind and solar output, high demand, and reduced supply from russia. The unprecedented costs are already taking their toll four small energy suppliers have recently gone bust with more set to follow as soon as next week. The conversations with government right now are about where we may or may not need additional targeted support for customers or users. The industrial sector is, obviously, a really high priority. Steelmakers, which need a lot of energy, are worried. If theyre at this price now, whats it going to be like in the winter . If it carried on like this, im fearful, notjust for the Steel Sector but all energy intensive sectors, and then downstream operations because thats what we do. Were at the start of the Supply Chain we sell to manufacturers. High energy prices have already forced two large Uk Fertiliser plants in the north of england to close one consequence is a shortage of their crucial by product, Carbon Dioxide, and that could hit Food And Drink businesses. Because its used to stun some animals before slaughtering and for meat packing. Meat processors fear the shortage could hit production. Its used to extend Shelf Life through packaging, notjust on meat but on all foods. At a time when were struggling because of the Haulage Shortages in this country to keep the Supply Chain running, to actually lose Shelf Life and have a shorter Shelf Life on the products going onto shelves is going to cause even more disruption, so this is a really serious problem for us. The owner of one large Poultry Group which includes Bernard Matthews called the Carbon Dioxide problem a massive body blow. The online Food Delivery Company ocado says it now has limited stock of some frozen foods because it cant get enough dry ice. The Trade Body representing major supermarkets says the disruption could not have come at a worse time, with the Lorry Driver Shortage already causing issues. The rising price of gas is mainly being felt by businesses at the moment, but it is likely to feed through into higher bills for consumers at a time when the Cost Of Living is already rising. The Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng says britain can meet demand for gas, and the government doesnt expect Supply Emergencies this winter. But some things are beyond their control. With wholesale prices, there are global factors at play. Katy austin, bbc news. United nations agencies have urged the taliban to reopen girls� schools in afghanistan. More than a month after the taliban seized power, Secondary Schools for boys have reopened and all male teachers have been ordered back to work. But the taliban have said nothing about reopening Secondary Schools for girls. Shuhra koofi is a 21 year old afghan student whose mother, a former mp, survived two assassination attempts. Both women have been moved out by the us and are currently in doha, from where shuhra described the current lack of Female Education as heartbreaking and frustrating. When they were fighting against the government, they had a reason to legitimise their brutality and legitimise the fact they don� t allow the girls to go to school. But now they are ruling the government, so they are accountable to people. This is not what people want. Families want their daughters to get educated, they want their girls to go to school, and have the rights that the boys have. We can now speak to the head of an organisation dedicated to the advancement of young afghan women. How does this compare to how women protested or didn� T Protest in the 90s .

They had lived through the civil war, and gone through the civil war, and gone through the soviet occupation, which caught the type of military engagement, and then we also had that strong brain drain, so they were not equipped with that kind of confidence, and ability to do so. Today, it� s a different story. We� ve had young people who have pretty much grown up in the past 20 years, who are not even familiar with the structure, for instance, that the individuals, their parents, the generation before, were aware of what the taliban were like. This generation is not. Not having that exposure also falls into the kind of confidence they have to challenge that system. And it� s also. We have to have this understanding that the population is not the same population of the 90s. This population has Freedom And Experience of education, financial independence, and exposure to the World. [30 financial independence, and exposure to the World. Do you think the taliban exposure to the World. Do you think the taliban can exposure to the World. Do you think the taliban can learn think the taliban can learn from history . You are talking about the next generation of doctors, teachers, midwives, that would be going to Secondary School now. Do they not care about losing that section Of Society . Section Of Society . This is Something Section Of Society . This is something i section Of Society . This is something i struggle section Of Society . This is something i struggle Withj Something i struggle with often. This is the group that constantly discusses that they are fighting for religion, and that they understand religion. Islam, and those of us who understand the religion, it gives women so much ability, especially advancement within education. It� s a basic right one needs to have. The fact they don� t understand. Their government will not be able to function without including women in it. Just like the government in the past collapsing because of corruption, ifeel the collapsing because of corruption, i feel the taliban will not be able to function without the inclusion of women, especially because we have become such a strong function Of Society. Become such a strong function Of Society Of Society. And yet the words from the Of Society. And yet the words from the taliban Of Society. And yet the words from the taliban about from the taliban about inclusion of women are not turning into actions. We see women going back to work, protesting.

Religious scholars around the World in afghanistan need to stand up for women and their inclusion in society, and their role in the structure that is in place. We also have to look at the fact that afghanistan, although it is a patriarchal system, many households are matriarch because of the constant war of the past a0 years. People have lost sons, husbands and fathers, and the women are running the household. So women are running the household. Women are running the household. , household.

The british Boxer Amir Khan has been removed on a flight in the us after a reported row over face coverings. He said he was taken off an american air like plain by police when someone complained of his friend� s mask was not high enough. The airline said two people refused to comply with Crew Request and they denied the police intervened. The french Foreign Minister has denounced in the strongest terms the new Security Pact in the pacific, accusing the us and australia of lying. The bbc� s Courtney Bembridge has been looking into why australia scrapped the french deal in the first place. The prime Minister Scott Morrison was keen to say this was not a change of mind, but a change of need. Australia needed a more modern fleet of submarines, and that� s why they opted for this nuclear powered submarine, ratherthan the more traditional conventionally powered ones. There had been indications this french deal, which was signed in 2016, had been in trouble for some time. The cost had almost doubled, there were delays, so there had been indications and reports as early as this year that this deal may be under threat. But of course we know that the french say this came completely out of the blues. Why now . Many people suggest it was a viable plan b. The uk and us alliance allowed australia to sidestep into something else. But it is worth pointing out that billions of dollars have already been spent on the french deal, and there will be further delays now because they are effectively going back to square one. These submarines were meant to be built in australia, but french designed. Now they have to be redesigned to cope with the new way or powering them, which will set australia back. This all comes at a time when the australian Submarine Fleet is ageing, it was slated to be retired in 2025. That� s at a time when we know tensions are increasing with china, and there are very real concerns about that. So they have spent billions of dollars upgrading the current fleet, the old style submarine, so there is no gap between. The new fleet agreed under the deal with the us and the uk, we know the prime minister said it� s not likely to be delivered until at least 20a0. So there is a long lead time on this, and in the meantime, threats are changing and the landscape is changing so much, there are still concerns about this. But france is upset by all this, they say it is not over. How is that going to pan out for the australians . Australia will be keen to argue that france didn� t hold up its side of the deal with the cost and delays, it is likely that a court will have to decide whether they constitute grounds to scrap the deal. Of course, billions of dollars have already been spent, and the french are saying, you have made an agreement and you have to make good on that. Australia may end up still having to pay out some of that deal. But australia says it� s still better than investing billions and billions more into what will become outdated technology by the time it is eventually delivered. The four Space Tourists aboard the Spacex Inspirational mission have splashed down successfully in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of florida. The commercial mission, the first without any professional astronauts aboard, has been orbiting the earth for three days at an altitude of more than 570 kilometres. The spacecraft was operated by Ground Based Flight Teams and onboard guidance systems. Here they are celebrating as the capsule arrived back on earth. Inspiration a, on behalf of spacex, welcome back to planet earth. Your mission has shown the World that space is for all of us, and that everyday people can make extraordinary impacts on the World around them. Thank you for sharing your leadership, hope, generosity and prosperity. And congratulations. Applause. Four Crew Members, ordinary people, not the usual astronauts who have had years and years of training. It was Billionaire Businessman Jared Isaacman who paid for the privilege of going up into space. Once they landed, after the splashdown, he said it had been a heck of a ride and he said it was just the beginning. He helped the three other Crew Members and paid for them to go on board. A geoscientist, a us Air Force Veteran and a woman Called Hayley who was treated for Bone Cancer when she was a child. She has actually gone back to work at the hospital that cured her cancer. She was seen as an inspirational person, someone who deserved this chance to go up into space. That� s why it was so different, we are not talking about professionals, amateur astronauts known as Space Tourists. Quite a cast list. We have covered a number of high profile flights into space recently, but what did this one achieve . They took a number of experiments up to space with them, they went to a great height above the international space station, Tests to see the effect it would have had on their bodies, not being the usually trained astronauts. But i think it was far more than that. A lot of the mission was beamed live, broadcast, raising awareness of space and really sending the message that space can be for everyone, with the caveat you have to have deep pockets, it� s going to cost you millions of pounds, but trying to open up that whole field. A heavy Police Presence on Capitol Hill In Washington for a rally to support those who attended on january the 6th, but numbers not as high as previous proTests. Our correspondent told us what she had seen at the rally. This correspondent told us what she had seen at the rally. Had seen at the rally. This was the first largescale had seen at the rally. This was the first largescale security i the first large Scale Security Test for officials in dc since january the 6th, and they don� t want a repeat of what happened that day. Security was massively beefed up, a Militarised Perimeterfence massively beefed up, a militarised Perimeter Fence all Around Dc, National Guard troops on standby as well. Capitol police are fully armed, lots of roads blocked off, trying to get Around Dc took a little bit longer than usual. In terms of the turnout, this particular group that held the rally, they had a permit of around 700 people. The Capitol Police say in terms of how many turned up, it was about a50, which is definitely how it felt. Certainly more police than actual protesters, and a lot of media as well. The police were worried, because it� s notjust about police were worried, because it� s not just about january the 6th, there have been a few incidents since then that have alarmed police. Last month, a man from North Carolina turned up man from North Carolina turned up with a truck full of explosives threatening to blow up explosives threatening to blow up two blocks of the neighbourhood. And a Car Attack that killed a Capitol Police officer. Also they were not sure if other groups could turn up, far right extremist groups. And then you have the Counter Protest groups, they were kept far away, protest groups, they were kept faraway, buT Protest groups, they were kept far away, but still the police didn� t want to leave anything to chance. In didnt want to leave anything to chance to chance. In england, Travel Companies to chance. In england, Travel Companies say to chance. In england, Travel Companies say holiday to chance.

In england, Travel Companies say Holiday Bookings have suraed since esterda s have surged since yesterday� s announcement that foreign Travel Rules are being relaxed. The Travel Traffic Light system is being replaced with a single Red List, fully vaccinated people no longer need a predeparture people no longer need a Predepa Rtu re test before returning from Red List countries. Professor Lawrence Jung from the University Of Warwick says the new Testing Regime raises concerns about how the new variants will be detected with requirement for fewer the Tests. This detected with requirement for fewer the Tests. Fewer the Tests. This is inevitably fewer the Tests. This is inevitably going fewer the Tests. This is inevitably going to fewer the Tests. This is l inevitably going to result fewer the Tests. This is inevitably going to result in people bringing back more infections from abroad. You could say, given the high levels of infection we already have in the country, perhaps that� s not as much of an issue, but the key issue has to be the importation of variants. We know previous waves of infection have been driven by travellers returning to the uk, look at what we are facing now with the Delta Variant that originated in india. So we mustn� t let down our guard, really important we keep Genome Sequencing going, because we know some of these variants can effect the efficacy of vaccination, and that� s the risk we are running. Vaccination, and thats the risk we are running. Vaccination, and thats the risk we are running. Could be more Flights Risk we are running. Could be more flights to risk we are running. Could be more flights to Paris Risk we are running. Could be more flights to paris of more flights to paris of course. If you happened to be in paris on saturday, you may have witnessed something of a spectacle. In amongst the usual Tourist Attractions was a man walking on a rope,70 metres up in the air. The bbc� s Tim Allman has the story. Sometimes, the only question that needs to be asked is, why . There in the distance, a man walks through midair, suspended on a 600 Metre Stretch of elasticated webbing. His starting point, one of the most famous places on earth. Translation it was great, its really beautiful starting. From the eiffel tower. It� s a World renowned place, one that i� m aware of the view from the ground, and discovering it from above, it� s really beautiful. Nathan paulin is a slackliner a bit like Tightrope Walking except the rope is looser, bouncier, a sort of long, narrow trampoline. And he doesn� tjust walk he sits, he lies down, even hangs around for a bit. For the spectators on the ground, it was quite a sight. Imagine what it was like for nathan. Translation when i was young, i had vertigo and i learned to contain it. During the performance, i really didn� t feel it. I really didn� t have a fear of heights. I felt some stress over starting it, but no vertigo, no. In case you were wondering, he was wearing a safety line, just to be careful. And, after 30 minutes orso, his Midair Odyssey came to an end. Easy. As long as you don� t look down. Thank goodness he had a safety line. That� s one way to bounce back from vertigo the Brazil Football Legend pele says he is recovering very well after briefly being readmitted to Intensive Care following an operation. The 80 year old had surgery to remove a tumour from his colon this month and was released from Intensive Care on wednesday. The hospital treating him said he was then readmitted as a preventative measure, he is brazil� s all time leading scorer with 72 goals in 92 games, he� s been in hospitalfor nearly goals in 92 games, he� s been in hospital for nearly three weeks. Thank you for watching. Many of you will have had a dry start to the weekend, there� s some sunshine around. The best of it arguably across eastern areas of the country. And a lovely end of the day captured by Weather Watcher sue in west yorkshire. Outbreaks of Rain Start to form, heavy showers crossing the midlands, some of those downpours captured by our Weather Watchers. Look at this one, a Downpour Crossing the skies in warwickshire, captured by Weather Watcherjack. Right now, if anything, the rain is getting a bit heavier, more extensive as well as it marches its way across wales, midlands, across northern england and scotland. Slowly, we� re starting to see the Rain Ease off across westernmost areas of Northern Ireland. So here it should be a reasonably dry start to sunday. But otherwise, many of us will see at least some rain during sunday as these areas of rain continue to push their way eastwards. The rain is going to get increasingly heavy later in the day across eastern areas across england, where the rain is going to grind to a halt. The amount of rain we see from place to place is going to vary quite a bit, but there will be a few areas that pick up as much as 30 or a0mm. There� s a risk of localised Surface Water Flooding across the east. Many western areas, actually, the weather will improve through Sunday Afternoon with a bit more sunshine. Taking a look at the week ahead, it� s not a bad start with some sunny spells, some dry weather. However, later in the week, low pressure is going to be moving in, and that� s going to be bringing more of an autumnal feel to things as it turns wet and increasingly windy as well. Monday� s charts and into tuesday shows this ridge of high Pressure Building in ahead of the next atlantic system. And not completely dry, i mean, there will be one or two spots of Rain In East Anglia and south east england, a few showers in the northwest. But predominantly monday is a dry day with some sunshine. Temperatures, high teens to low 20s. Probably feeling a little fresher than it has been over recent days, but not cold. Onto tuesday� s forecast, a few Mist And Fog patches to start the day. The winds really start to pick up for Northern Ireland and west scotland, where there could be a few showers. But again, a mainly dry day with some sunny spells. Perhaps a bit of cloud developing across england and wales to the afternoon. Top temperatures about 21 celsius but heading deeper into the week, low pressure is set to move in off the atlantic. This bringing rain to all areas and increasingly strong winds. We� ll have some autumnal gales later in the week. This is bbc news. The headlines the french Foreign Minister has denounced in the strongest terms the new Security Pact in the pacific.
