we start with a developing story — the us soldier travis king, who was being held in north korea, is now in us custody. hours earlier, north korea said it would deport private king — who ran into the country across the demilitarized zone injuly. he had been due to be flown to the us, to face military disciplinary proceedings, when he escaped his escort and entered north korean territory. those

agency reporting that he is in us custody after being expeued he is in us custody after being expelled by north korea into china, a very interesting significant development. there is a picture of travis king and taking everybody by surprise a month or so ago, he suddenly made that escape across the dmc into north korea and we have had absolutely nothing since then apart from just one or two lines from the north korean authorities. and apart from that, absolute silence. gary o�*donoghue ready to talk to us about the latest. in terms of what we are learning in the last few minutes, private king in us custody? yes. learning in the last few minutes, private king in us custody? yes, he is in us custody _ private king in us custody? yes, he is in us custody and _ private king in us custody? yes, he is in us custody and this _ private king in us custody? yes, he is in us custody and this comes - is in us custody and this comes after being in detention in north korea forjust over two months. he crossed over from the demilitarised zone into north korea in the middle ofjuly. and he has been there ever since. we should be able to bring you more details in short order about how this whole thing unravelled and how it all came about. at the moment that is under wraps. but we do understand he is in the custody of the us military and on his way home, in that sense. we should be able to bring you some more on that. bear in mind, this will have been a huge diplomatic effort one way or another. the us doesn�*t have diplomatic relations with the dprk. more often than not, in the past, sweden has represented the united states in p hong yang, so they may have been involved in this. there may have been other agencies involved, too. at a difficult situation for both sides does look like it has been resolved. the north koreans have issued a statement saying they have expelled travis king. they make reference to what was his attitude to america in terms of racial inequality and unfairness in society. travis king is a black man and that is something that came out while he was in detention and people wondered whether he had said any of that of his own free will, we will find out at some point when he gets to speak freely, if he chooses to do that. he is on his way back to us territory in some form or other, the 23—year—old private from wisconsin. it is worth bearing in mind for him and his family, things are a bit uncertain about the future. he was on a charge when he crossed over into north korea. he had been taken to the airport by military officials to be put on a plane back to the united states to face charges over criminal damage and assault while on deployment in south korea. he left the airport, he went on a tour to the demilitarised zone and that is when he basically made a run for it.— zone and that is when he basically made a run for it. gary, we know he has been deported, _ made a run for it. gary, we know he has been deported, there _ made a

in this story we don�*t know and perhaps we will learn here on verified live, both from south korea, the details coming from there and the details coming from officials where you are. but we don�*t

at this stage at any rate. we should be able to bring you some more of that in pretty short order. at the moment that is all we can say. there will be concerns about him because you will remember the american student he was detained in north korea back in the 2000, eventually released in a coma and brought back to the united states and died in short order afterwards. people will be looking very carefully and asking close questions about the way travis king has been treated during his time, because thatis treated during his time, because that is of concern. more historical, there have been american soldiers who have crossed over. let�*s remind viewers, this demilitarised zone, this division along the 53rd parallel has been there, the 38th parallel, rather, has been there since 1953 since the end of the korean war, not the end of it, but since an arm assist. since then, many american soldiers have crossed over and many of them have died in north korea. over and many of them have died in north korea-— north korea. thank you for the u date, north korea. thank you for the update. i _ north korea. thank you for the update. i am — north korea. thank you for the update, i am sure _

untapped oil and gas field in the north sea. rosebank, which is 80 miles west of shetland, is expected to produce the equivalent of 300 million barrels of oil, during the expected 25—year lifetime of the project. but the decision is controversial — because of its impact on climate change. last month, 50 mps and peers from all major parties raised concerns the oil field could produce 200 million tonnes of carbon dioxide. alexandra mackenzie reports. north sea oil is again at the centre of economic, political and climate debate. the long discussed rosebank oil and gas field is run by the norwegian state energy firm, equinor. it says this will bring massive investment and jobs to the uk. there is a continued need for oil and gas. through the entire transition and even after net—zero, we will need oil and gas in our daily lives and to run society as we know it. rosebank lies 80 miles west of shetland. discovered in 2004, the field is in deep water of more than 1000 metres. start—up is expected late 2026 or early 2027. but there is much anger and frustration about this decision. protesters gathered in whitehall, saying the approval was disastrous. others said they despaired that this has happened in the middle of a cost of living and climate crisis. i think we need to be clear that this is a huge mistake on economic grounds, on energy security grounds and on climate grounds, and that the uk public do not stand to benefit from this field. the uk government welcome the regulator�*s decision. rishi sunak was in scotland this summer, where he defended the decision to grant 100 new north sea oil and gas licenses. he was also asked about rosebank. what i would say is that it�*s entirely consistent with transitioning to net—zero that we use the energy we have got here at home, because we are going to need it for decades. so far betterfor our economy, forjobs and for climate emissions that we get it from here other than shipping it halfway around the world. scotland�*s first minister humza yousaf said he was disappointed. well, this is the wrong decision to be made. i have expressed my concern about rosebank going ahead for some time now. i think most reasonable people are in our position. we don't think the taps should be turned off tomorrow. there shouldn't be a cliff edge, but neither is the north—east or scotland's future in unlimited oil and gas extraction. keir starmer has set a labour government would have more reliance on green energy, including new offshore wind farms. but he would not reverse the rosebank decision if they win the next election. what we have said is, no new licences to be granted when we are in power, but we won�*t revoke any licenses that are granted before we come into power. so an extremely heated debate. some strongly believe it is obscene. others are just as adamant that this is a good day for the uk. alexandra mckenzie, bbc news. joining us live from brighton is the green party mp, caroline lucas. welcome to the programme. your basic reaction to this decision?— reaction to this decision? anger, sadness, frustration. _ reaction to this decision? anger, sadness, frustration. particular. sadness, frustration. particular anger at the way the prime minister is trying to spin this. frankly, he is trying to spin this. frankly, he is trying to pull the wool over people�*s eyes. it is not the case that simply because oil and gases extracted from the north sea that automatically means it comes to the uk, much less than it comes to the uk, much less than it comes to the uk at lower prices. there is absolutely no automatic advantage to energy security or to the price of oil and gasp by having this extraction go ahead. we oil and gasp by having this extraction go ahead. we had the prime minister _ extraction go ahead. we had the prime minister and _ extraction go ahead. we had the prime minister and other- extraction go ahead. we had the i prime minister and other ministers, they keep saying the same thing, this is absolutely clearly about providing energy security? just because they _ providing energy security? just because they keep saying it, it doesn�*t make it true. many on the other side are pointing out, as indeed, echo nor themselves have pointed out, they sent a to all mps and they said the vast majority of the oil that comes from this particular oil field will be for export. so there is absolutely nothing, unless rishi sunak is about to renationalise the energy sector, there is nothing in this proposal that guarantees energy security, it guarantees that the oil and gas will come to the uk. it will simply get sold on international markets are global prices. but what it will do is completely smash any credibility that the uk has for any last vestige of climate leadership. we know we are running absolutely in the face of the advice from the climate scientist, the government�*s own advisers, the international energy agency, from everybody he was saying if this goes ahead it is bad news for the climate. j if this goes ahead it is bad news for the climate.— if this goes ahead it is bad news for the climate. i will come back to that point. — for

come back toj that point, but i want to go back to the point where you said 90% or so of this oil would be exported, because equinor, who have a stake in this license responded to what you said on the radio this morning. i want to play that for our viewers. so that's simply incorrect. we will be using the majority of that oil in the uk. so i'm not quite sure where the fact around 90% of the oil is going to go outside of the uk. are you saying this oil is not going to be sold on the international markets? is it possible to say it is only going to be sold in the uk, is that legal? i wouldn't say it's only going to be in the uk, i think it will serve quite a few years until the field will be fully developed, but ultimately this is a uk field that will be producing both oil and for the uk. uk

programme this morning, 90% of the resources of rosebank are oil and around 80% will be exported. nothing i have heard since convinces me otherwise. the letter from since convinces me otherwise. the

become the prime minister, he would move heaven and earth to stop this oilfield going head. if he would say that, the chilling effect it would have could stop this from happening. the idea he has this in his gift and wouldn�*t use it, is irresponsible. there will be a lot of pressure on the labour leader to change his position. the labour leader to change his osition. ., ., , the labour leader to

injured. it�*s thought to have started when fireworks were set off in the hall. the bride and groom are said to be among the dead. that show you some live pictures coming in from the scene already from some of those funerals. terrible scenes of grief we have been watching, as these pictures come in. these are the live pictures from this part of a rack where so many different families have been involved. so much shock as to what happened in the last few hours. the authority issuing arrest warrants so far as the aftermath is picked over. 0ur middle east correspondent lina sinjab has been following developments. music it should have been the start of a new life together. the newlyweds took to the dance floor. hundreds of their relatives into the wedding hundreds of their relatives had crammed into the wedding hall to celebrate. but fireworks changed everything. the fire spread in minutes. ceiling panels caught light. the power went out. in the chaos, more than 100 died. the bride and groom�*s fate is still unknown. a bulldozer smashed a hole in the side of the building to allow people to escape. this man made it out alive but believes his parents, wife and two children died. arrest warrants have been issued for the owners of the building, according to state media, with officials saying flammable material were used inside. lina sinjab, bbc news. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let�*s look at some other stories making news. five labour regional mayors have urged the government not to scrap the hs2 rail line, between birmingham and manchester — saying such a move, would be an international embarrassment. there�*s speculation the prime minister is considering cancelling the northern leg, because of soaring costs. the government says, no decision has been made. mps are calling for a much bolder approach, to reducing persistent school absence in england. the latest figures show, more than a fifth of pupils are missing at least 10% of lessons — about double the pre—pandemic total. ministers say, they�*re increasing support for schools, including introducing mentors to work with families. the world�*s oldest gardening magazine, amateur gardening, is to close — in part, because the seeds attached to the cover now cost more than the cost of the magazine itself. published weekly since 1884, it backed the "dig for victory" campaigns in both world wars, when people were encouraged to grow their own food. former contributors include alan titchmarsh. you�*re live with bbc news. officials in glasgow have approved the uk�*s first consumption room for illegal drugs. the facility is backed by the scottish government, as a way to tackle the country�*s drugs deaths crisis. the pilot scheme will be based at a health centre in the east end of glasgow. trained health professionals will supervise people as they take their own drugs. 0ur scotland editor james cook has more. this clinic in the east end of glasgow will soon be home to a new approach to tackling drug addiction. just now, it provides a small number of long—term users with prescribed pharmaceutical heroin. but when it expands to include a consumption room, many more people could be injecting their own drugs here. these mirrors are very slightly tilted, not visibly to the eye. this allows the nurse to be able to give the patients some space and some privacy and admitted dignity while they�*re having their injection. this is used at present for people who have heroin prescribed to them by the nhs as part of their treatment. but is this pretty much similar to what a consumption room would look like? absolutely, it will be very similar. this is an attempt to tackle a scottish national emergency, the worst death rate from drugs in europe. the doctor in charge says the pilot project will help. they can use those drugs under the supervision of trained professional staff who can respond to any adverse events that arise, but also support those service users in the harms that they are experiencing in relation to their drug use, and support them to engage with other treatment care services that they may need. what kind of drugs could they use? we anticipate the vast majority of people who use this service will be wanting to inject heroin and cocaine. there are dozens of other drug consumption rooms around the world. this one is in portugal. but for the moment at least, technical challenges and scottish anti—smoking laws mean the glasgow facility will not include an inhalation room. there are concerns here in the east end of glasgow about what the consumption room will mean for the community. but officials behind the project say it will be better than the current situation. they say between 400 and 500 people are regularly injecting drugs in public in glasgow. although the uk government opposes the plan, it�*s not trying to stop it, after scotland�*s senior law officer said it would not be in the public interest to prosecute people for possession of illegal drugs inside the facility. but critics say the scottish government has its priorities wrong. let�*s be perfectly clear — there are no safe ways to take drugs. what i would like to see would be a balance of investment. and whilst this is a worthwhile investment, a proposed 2.3 million a year, i have to make the point that we are only spending half a million a year on rehab in glasgow that helps people get off drugs and helps them to get well. but supporters of the glasgow pilot say they have studied the experience of other nations, including portugal, and they insist a similar facility in scotland will save lives. james cook, bbc news, glasgow. a fifteen—year—old girl has been stabbed to death in croydon. the girl was a pupil at the private 0ld palace ofjohn whitgift school — in a statement, it said it was "deeply shocked by the senseless and tragic death" of a "much—loved and valued friend and pupil". a 17—year—old boy — who is believed to have known the victim — has been arrested. the police have released this statement. this is every parent�*s worst nightmare and they know the officers who responded this morning, along with our emergency service colleagues are devastated at the victor�*s there. this is an emotion i share and i know people across croydon will be feeling the same. the victim�*s family has been informed and our thoughts are with them at what must be an incredibly difficult time. we carried out an urgent inquiry is to find the suspect and within 75 minutes of the incident happening, a 17—year—old boy was arrested in new addington. he remains in custody and will be questioned by detectives. we remain in the early stages of investigation, however, based on what we know so far, we believe that we are not looking for anyone else in connection with this offence. from our initial inquiries, we believe the suspect may have known the victim. however, we are not in a position to release the victim�*s identity at this time. the actor and television host, laurence fox, has been suspended by gb news over sexist comments he made about a journalist. he�*d been speaking about ava

morning into the afternoon will be in areas adjacent to the irish sea and as the storm pushes north eastwards later, the mental strength and across eastern scotland and also north—east england. potentialfor some disruption to travel and also the potential for some damage. disruption to travel and also the potentialfor some damage. and it moves steadily north eastwards in northern ireland could have as much as 50 millimetres of rain. falling on already saturated land, this could increase the risk of flooding. the midlands, a dry day with some sunshine and the north of scotland, not seeing the rain till this evening when storm agnes continues to push northwards, continues to weaken but it will still be a windy night but it would be a very mild night but it would be a very mild night for the time of year with overnight lows of 13 and 15 degrees. as we head into tomorrow, here is the remnants of storm agnes pushing into the norwegian sea. the isobars tell their own story, going to be windy in the northern half of the country. this cold front coming into northern ireland later will introduce rain. a lot of dry weather as the remnants of storm agnes pushes away and we have the weather front coming in with some rain to northern ireland and the winds could be squally around this through the course of the afternoon as well. temperatures down a touch on today, 14 to 20 degrees north to south. then as we head into friday, we have the remnants of an overnight front taking this patchy rain with it into the near continent. heavy showers in the near continent. heavy showers in the north and west, heaviest in northern scotland, but a lot of dry weather. a fair bit of sunshine during the course of friday and temperatures 13 to about 21 degrees. still be windy across the north of scotland. then as we head into the weekend, it is a bit of a mixture but there will be showers at times and longer spells of rain, particularly in the north and the west. but it will be mild and especially so on sunday with the 1st of october. this is bbc news. inafew in a few minutes�* time, we will be tackling your questions on the government�*s decision. let�*s delve into the specifics of the story. rosebank lies in the north sea, about 80 miles west of shetland. experts say it contains about 300 million barrels of oil. production could start in 2026 with extraction continuing until at least 2030. it�*s thought that about 69,000 barrels of oil could be produced every day. that would equate to about 8% of the uk's that would equate to about 8% of the uk�*s total output. there will also be natural gas with about 44 million cubic feet produced per day during the project�*s lifetime. the energy secretary defended the regulators�* decision.
