Good evening. Borisjohnson says there is turbulence in the uks relations with france, as the dispute over post brexit Fishing Rights continues to escalate and has overshadowed the 620 summit. France has threatened to block british boats from its ports if the row over Fishing Licences is not resolved by tuesday. The uk government says it could launch Legal Proceedings against france. Earlier, i spoke to don thompson, president of thejersey fishermen� S Association to get his thoughts. Morale amongst my colleagues is extremely low at the moment and ive seen an exodus from our industry, a loss of boats, weve not seen ever before in history. Thats been since the 1st of january. So its a desperate situation for fishermen here on the ground at the moment. I know thatjersey has issued 162 licences. There are different classifications. But in black and white, as far as you are reading it, has france breached the Tca Or Has Britain breached the tca . How are you reading it . The first thing to say is that the criteria for the licences that are issued under the trade and Economic Cooperation agreement, the criteria for that is really black and white. Theres been a legal requirement to record fishing data for all Fishing Vessels for decades. Thats how you manage fishery. Using fishing data so that there should be no misunderstanding, there should be no lack of data. However, what we are seeing is that those so called rejected licences are from boats that really just never did qualify. So its important to be clear about this its not a particularly large number that have been rejected here, orfor uk waters, but the political rhetoric by a small number of politicians that advance an extremism that is really disproportionate to the problem. The South Central ambulance has declared a critical incident, due to extreme pressures across the service. In a tweet, it said staff and volunteers were working extremely hard to respond to calls but the volume they were dealing with was overwhelming. South Central Ambulance covers an area of more than four Million People across hampshire, berkshire, buckinghamshire and oxfordshire. An afghan refugee says he feels like a human being for the first time in his life after arriving in the uk, with 28 others from the lgbtqi community. The man who the bbc is not naming for Safety Reasons fled afghanistan, fearing for his life under the taliban, after the group took control of the country in august. In an instant, the relative safety of afghanistans lgbtqi community, was wiped away leaving many trying to escape. Hes been speaking to our reporter, ali hamedani. For security reasons, his words are spoken by an actor. Translation we travelled | on a Royal Air Force aircraft. I cannot express my emotions. I feel blessed and im so excited. I am free. When we arrived in the uk, the people who greeted us were so friendly, they welcomed us warmly. I was surprised by that much kindness. I asked myself why people on this side of the world are so friendly towards us. For the first time in my life, ifelt i was a human being. Everything collapsed after the fall of kabul. The level of freedom people, and especially the Lgbti Community had previously has been demolished. We were so scared. As you might know, this community was a secret underground community but we knew each other in our network, and if one of us got arrested, they could have found the rest of us. Kabul is not a big city and with the way the taliban are ruling the country, it was not that difficult to find high profile lbgti people. We also heard a couple of people were arrested. We were so scared. Like many other gay men in afghanistan, we lead a double life i have a wife and kids. If i was arrested, you can imagine, it could be a nightmare for me, and especially in front of my family. I tried so hard to leave the country. I also tried so hard to hide the reason for my departure from my family and got in touch with a couple of International Lbgti organisations, and thankfully they acted fast. Britain is a new home for me. Everything is new to me here a new lifestyle, language and culture. I am a bit nervous about my future and im trying to figure out where to start my new life, but i feel safe and free. This is amazing. At least three protesters have been killed in clashes with Security Forces in sudan.

Shops and businesses remained closed, and a nationwide strike by doctors, bankers and teachers is ongoing. Two years ago, the protesters braved it all to get democracy.

The Prime Minister says france may have breached the post Brexit Trade Agreement in the row overFishing Rights. At the 620 summit in rome, the dispute continues to cause tensions between france and the uk. There is some turbulence in the relationship. If one partner has breached the rules we set up, then we will have to deal with that. Lawyers for Prince Andrew ask a new yorkjudge to dismiss a civil lawsuit against him. And in the rugby, new zealand score seven tries in a comfortable victory over wales. Good evening. Leaders of the 620 the worlds most powerful economies have been meeting in rome today. Climate change has been high on their agenda from rome theyll head to glasgow for the crucial cop 26 summit on how to reduce global warming. But for the uk and france, the row overFishing Rights has continued to cause friction. Borisjohnson said today there is turbulence in relations between london and paris. The french are threatening to block some british boats from their ports next week. From rome our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg reports. Old rivalries and fierce fights, romes coliseum has hosted a few. But its the uk and france this time both flexing their strength. France threatening to disrupt trade if their boats dont get more access to fish the channel. Do you think france is trying to punish the uk with this Row Overfishing Permits . I think that the things that unite france and the uk are far more important than the things that divide us, and i must say we are a bit worried that france may be about to become in breach or is already in breach of the trade and Cooperation Agreement that we struck. President macron is going round questioning your credibility. You have been summoning the french ambassador into the Foreign Office in london. What are you actually going to do about it . We are going to get on. And do the things that matter to both of us and make sure that we Work Together on tackling the big issues that face the world. There is some turbulence in the relationship. If one of our partners decides to breach the trade and Cooperation Agreement that we struck, obviously thats a matter that well have to pursue. The Prime Minister may want play nice with the french president the Prime Minister may want to play nice with the french president and their other high ranking friends but if macron goes further that might not last. Borisjohnson� s lieutenant david frost wrote online that french rhetoric was problematic and troubling, and warned the uk could trigger legal action, a Dispute Settlement Mechanism before too long. The fist bump isnt yet a dramatic punch up over channel permits. Borisjohnson has, to use hisjoke, much bigger fish to fry. 6etting other wealthy big countries to move faster. India, and especially china, borisjohnson with his wife carrie tonight wanting other leaders to stop and think, to believe that they ought to, they must give up more cash, give up more carbon. People are often very conceited about history and about our civilisation. We think that we can be on a Remorseless Forward March when actually we can be actively conniving in our own decline and fall. What we need to do is to ensure that at the Cop26 Summit Next week, the World Leaders come together. Are you disappointed with what china has come forward so far . Look, they have made progress on overseas financing of coal. Thats a good thing. What china needs to do, i think is to find ways of making a more ambitious nationally determined contribution. They are not going to do that. They published what they said they are going to do and its not enough. You must be disappointed. Lets see where we can get to. In september, you rated the chances of success in glasgow as six out of ten. What would you say now . I would say they are about the same. Borisjohnson hopes he will make history, brokering an agreement to slow down the warming of the planet. It is the metaphor. Either the cop26 succeeds or the dark ages, thats what im saying. Or could be the dark ages. But he is trying to corral many dozens of countries. There is certainly no one emperor who can rule supreme. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, rome. As well as Climate Change, several 620 leaders, Including Borisjohnson and the american president , joe biden, have been discussing iran today. They spoke of their Grave And Growing Concern about Irans Nuclear programme and urged the iranian president to change course to avoid a dangerous escalation. Our North America Editorjon Sopel reports from the summit in rome. Good to go. And with that thumbs up from the american president the biggest gathering of World Leaders since covid arrived could get under way. And everyone is relearning social etiquette. To mask or not to mask. Unmask. To shake hands or not. Shake. And with everyone back in the same room, the host, the italian Prime Minister, made a tentative call to order. I think we can start. And after so long apart, he urged a renewed commitment to working together. Multilateralism is the best answer to the problems we face today. In many ways, its the only possible answer. From the pandemic to Climate Change, to fair and equitable taxation, going alone is simply not an option. The great set piece of these occasions is the family photo, but then something unexpected happened, the men in white coats arrived. No, not to take them away, but to underline the role that First Responders have played since the pandemic took hold, and how to speed up Vaccine Distribution to the poorest nations. There is also mounting concern about Irans Nuclear programme. The leaders of the us, france, germany, and britain released a joint statement expressing Grave And Growing Concern. But borisjohnson� s most immediate concern is next weeks Climate Change conference in scotland. Here, he is shaking hands, but also trying to twist arms. The Draft Communique thats been agreed talks about the urgent need to keep global warning to 1. 5 celsius. But for all the words in this Draft Communique, and there are a lot of them, its very short on detailed commitments or concrete measures to limit carbon emissions. Borisjohnson is going to have his work cut out in glasgow next week. And the pressure is growing. In 6lasgow they were on the streets today demanding action, and in rome, too. The world is going to be watching. John sopel, bbc news, rome. Lets go live to rome now and back to Laura Kuenssberg. A time of intense International Diplomacy with the 620 summit followed by the Climate Change summit and yet that fishing row still souring relations between paris and london . It isa it is a diplomatic row which shows no sign of disappearing. On a practical level partly because simply the issue hasnt been resolved. On a political level, rather than it weakening the strength of feeling on both sides of the channel it seems to be deepening, and actually becoming more serious. In terms of that spat between president macron and Prime Ministerjohnson, downing street doesnt want to intensify things, they dont have much interest in plunging into any kind of new punch up in the post brexit world, but at the same time theyve made it quite clear today that as they see it if france keeps carrying on making the kinds of threats they have been making, and may be turning those hypothetical warnings into real action, then they wouldnt hesitate to try to take the whole thing to the law. But it is also absolutely the case that this isnt at the top of borisjohnson� s list at the top of borisjohnson� s list at the top of borisjohnson� s list at the moment. Hes here in rome to try and get momentum going before the whole diplomatic circus moves home back to the uk with that crucial environmental conference that gets under way within 48 hours in glasgow now. If you thought trying to sort a diplomatic spat on both sides of the channel was a big thing, my goodness, wait until you see what it is like trying to stitch together a patchwork of every single country in the world. Country in the world. Thanks very much, country in the world. Thanks very much. Laura Prince Andrew has asked a new york court to dismiss a civil lawsuit brought against him by Virginia 6iuffre, who says he sexually assaulted her when she was 17. Prince andrew has always denied the claims. His lawyers say Virginia 6iuffre is trying to achieve another payday and that her lawsuit is baseless. Our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports. After months when hes appeared to want to ignore the civil lawsuit brought by Virginia 6iuffre, Prince Andrew has now instructed his lawyers to fight to clear his name. The queens second son has been accused by miss 6iuffre of sexual abuse when she was 17 years old, and thus a minor under us state law. In papers filed in new york last night, the princes lawyers have asked a court to dismiss the lawsuit or to require miss 6iuffre to provide a more definitive statement of her allegations. The court papers state, Prince Andrew never sexually abused or assaulted 6iuffre. He unequivocally denies 6iuffres false allegations against him. The document goes on, 6iuffre has initiated this baseless lawsuit against Prince Andrew to achieve another payday at his expense and at the expense of those closest to him. A second argument advanced by andrews lawyers is that miss 6iuffre isnt entitled to bring a lawsuit against him. They claim she forfeited that right in 2009 when she sued this man, jeffrey epstein, the person who was said to have organised the sex trafficking. Epstein took his own Life In Prison Two years ago. Epstein had been a friend of andrew but the princes lawyers say the 2009 Court Settlement included a clause which precludes miss 6iuffre from taking any further court action. It will now be for the new york court to decide whether or not the case against the prince should be dismissed. Nicholas witchell, bbc news.

On the bbc news channel. And andrew marr will be speaking to 6reta Thunberg and alok sharma, at 9am, here on bbc one. But that� s all from me. Do not forget to put your hello, there. It looks like we are going to close out the month of october on a rather unsettled note and a deep area of low pressure coming in Off The Atlantic is going to bring some wet and windy weather through sunday, certainly a very wet start, and then we hold on the gales across southern and Western Areas with sunshine and blustery showers. So, here it is, then, this new area of low pressure, deeper feature than what we had on saturday, pushing into southern and Western Areas first thing on sunday, some really heavy bursts of rain on this as it sweeps its way northwards and eastwards. There could be localised flooding in places, the ground is pretty saturated from so much rainfall recently. The rainfall will become more confined to the northern half of scotland and then it� s blustery showers, particularly across Western Areas, driven in on the strong westerly gale. Some good spells of sunshine, too particularly across the eastern side of the country. Top temperature, 13 or 1a degrees. Sunday evening, then, halloween evening is going to be one of blustery showers, fairly strong, gusty winds but also some clear spells the best of these towards the east of the country. Into monday, our area of low pressure is filling, it is weakening as it is drifting its way northwards but it will still be close enough to bring another unsettled day to start the new working week. Of course, it� s the 1st Of November and it is going to be blustery, sunshine, and showers some merging together to produce longer spells of rain. There will be good spells of sunshine around, too, but it will be chilly nine to 12 or 13 degrees across the south. As we move out of monday into tuesday, that area of low pressure continues to drift northwards. We see the isobars open out a little bit across the country so it means the winds, i think, will be lighter on tuesday. Now, i think most of the showers will tend to be across the northern half of the uk, closer to that area of low pressure. Further south, we could see some good spells of sunshine but it is going to be a chilly day temperatures just about managing 11 or 12 degrees. That also means we� re going to start to see some colder nights around the middle part of the week. So, we� ve got a run of northerly winds as we head on into wednesday. The cold air spilling its way southwards right across the uk, so it� s going to feel chilly around the middle part of the week. A few showers around, mainly across coastal areas, especially in the north because of the direction of the wind. Many central and southern areas should stay dry with some shelter with plenty of sunshine. But it� s going to be chilly someplace is struggling to get much above eight or nine degrees. It means the chance of frost is even higher on wednesday night. Into thursday, we start to see an area of High Pressure toppling in from the west. That will bring some Weather Fronts to scotland from northern ireland, more cloud here, some showery bursts of rain which have more of a wintry flavour, certainly over Higher Ground because of these sorts of temperatures. But for the rest of the country, another dry day for many, with plenty of sunshine, but it is going to feel quite chilly. A similar story on friday where we start to pick up more westerly, South Westerly Winds, as an area of High Pressure continues to push eastwards. So the temperatures will be creeping up a little bit. And then into next weekend, so this is Bonfire Night Weekend and beyond, it starts to become more unsettled again, the atlantic comes back to life with areas of low pressure and it will be bringing in fluxes of milder air, too. So, for Bonfire Night Weekend, we could see a spell of wet and windy weather moving through. And then we maintain these west South Westerly Winds with higher pressure to the south, lower pressure to the north, and that will bring a Conveyor Belt of unsettled weather, some strong winds and heavy rain at times. But you will notice these in fluxes of milder air pushing in Off The Atlantic at times, mainly affecting the southern half of the country. It will stay fairly chilly at times in the north
