minutes of their game against minnesota in san fransisco. he held the timberwolves randy gobert, there with the beard in the centre of the screen, in a headlock and dragged him across the court.

the uk's second most senior general received written evidence alleging that war crimes were taking place in afghanistan but failed to inform the military police. general gwynjenkins, who is now vice chief of the defence staff, was warned in 2011 that the sas was executing handcuffed detainees. the ministry of defence says it's fully committed to supporting the public inquiry into allegations of war crimes in afghanistan. panorama reporter richard bilton told me about the background to this case. we have been investigating allegations of extrajudicial killings by the sas in afghanistan. last year, for example, we reported that one squad alone was linked to 54 that one squad alone was linked to sa suspicious deaths on i6—month 5a suspicious deaths on i6—month tour that ended in may 5a suspicious deaths on 16—month tour that ended in may 2011. those allegations are subject to a public inquiry and that public inquiry is ongoing. what we have always said though, is although bad things were happening on the ground, it was being relayed back. senior officers knew about it. that takes us to where we are today. the general, the second most senior man in the british military, when he was in special forces, british military, when he was in specialforces, he heard reports of sas members talking about killing people. in one formal statement from a senior ss officer, he was told about unarmed people and detainees being killed, all fighting age males are night raids being killed, of things like weapons being left next unarmed victims to justify their killings. he was given the inner documents and is, rather than hand that to the military police, he put it in a secret dossier and locked it in a safe. it it stayed in safe as he rose through the ranks. it only became known because of special forces whistle—blower. it is the duty of a commander in the british military to report any allegations of potential war crimes to the military police and we shouldn't forget how important generaljenkins is. he went on to be head of the special forces is. he went on to be head of the specialforces and is. he went on to be head of the special forces and now he is the vice chief of the defence staff. in a statement the ministry of defence have told us that they are fully committed to supporting the public inquiry, that it wouldn't be appropriate to comment on allegations that may be within the inquiry�*s scope. generaljenkins himself didn't answer our request for comment. himself didn't answer our request for comment-— himself didn't answer our request for comment. that is richard bilton there. millions of women in england will soon be able to access free contraceptive pills from their local pharmacy without having to see a gp. the nhs scheme starts in december, and will give women more choice over where to get the pill. nhs england says it expects almost half a million women to access the pill next year without first contacting their gp, with the figure rising after that. i spoke to doctorjanet barter, president of the faculty of sexual and reproductive healthcare, who told me why this is so important. contraception is really important. contraception is really important. contraception enables women to make their own choices about whether and when they want to get pregnant. it empowers women. choice of where you can access contraception is also extremely important. we know that progressive cuts to contraceptive services have made it difficult for women to access contraception. the services are still there and you can still access contraception from your gp. but this gives women a choice of where they can go and many women may feel more comfortable going into a local pharmacy, than perhaps trying to get an appointment at a service. we were talking just briefly there, listening to how important this is for gp services, which are already stretched, but also it is important to know that the abortion rate in this country is rising as well. what kind of impact and expect to have on this? i kind of impact and expect to have on this? ., ~' kind of impact and expect to have on this? ., ~ ., ~' kind of impact and expect to

would like to think that it may reduce the number of- this? i would like to think that it - may reduce the number of abortions. we do see a lot of women having unplanned pregnancies because, for example, they run out of pills and can't get an appointment. for those women this could be ideal. of italy there are other methods of contraception that won't be available through pharmacies so it is important that the other services are still there. the pharmacist will be able to give women information as well, about other methods of contraception and other places they can go to, as well as helping them out in the short—term or long—term by providing pills for them. out in the short-term or long-term by providing pills for them.- by providing pills for them. anyone livin: in by providing pills for them. anyone living in england _ by providing pills for them. anyone living in england watching - by providing pills for them. anyone living in england watching this, - by providing pills for them. anyone living in england watching this, the j living in england watching this, the thing to do if you want to get the pill and i want to see a dr is what? the information will, as the services developed, the information about which pharmacies are involved will be on the nhs website. you can talk to your local pharmacist to see whether they are part of this project, oryou whether they are part of this project, or you can look on the nhs website for that information. then go and have a conversation with your pharmacist and see what they can offer you and how they can help you. evenif offer you and how they can help you. even if they can't give you the pills there and then there will be able to tell you about other services that are available. just took me through _ services that are available. just took me through the unplanned pregnancy issue in this country. i'm just looking at the figures. is it true that it is about 50% of pregnancies in the uk are planned? that's right was not about 50% of pregnancies are unplanned. obviously some of those pregnancies will go on into maternity. even in that situation that means that women may not have been getting herself as healthy as possible before the pregnancy. we also know that about 25% of pregnancies in this country will go on and lead to an abortion, which is fine, that is a perfectly safe form of health care, but it is not what most women choose to do. if women do have access to information and contraception, then they can take control of this in a way that will be much betterfor them. that will be much better for them. that was dr janet _ will be much better for them. that was dr janet barr _ will be much better for them. that was drjanet barr there. before we go we are still weeks away from the peak of the festive season. but things are getting under way. things are already getting christmassy at kew gardens in london. more than one—million lights have been strung across the famous grounds at the royal botanic gardens. and the work was all done by hand. it took four climbers about three weeks to complete the job. the installation has become a staple in london this time of year, with about 6,000 people expected to visit each night across its six—week run. enjoy the pictures. goodbye. hello. last night was the coldest night of the autumn so far. in northern scotland temperatures dropped below minus seven celsius, with some fog patches, too. but that is where we've seen some of the best of the sunshine today. whereas further south, this hook of cloud, which was named storm frederico by the french weather service, has brought some rain and some brisk winds in the far south of england and the channel islands. that is now clearing away south—eastwards. we do have this frontal system pushing in from the west, some outbreaks of rain with that. but actually quite a lot of dry weather as we end the afternoon and head into the evening. and then overnight, this band of cloud and rain will make some further progress eastwards. some showers following on behind. in the north east of scotland, if we hold on to clear skies once again, we will see some fog patches developing. temperatures again dropping well below freezing. and actually it is going to be a chilly night for many of us. a chilly start to friday morning. friday is going to be a quieter day. still a few residual weather fronts in the mix to start the day. but broadly speaking, this brief and quite weak ridge of high pressure will be just about in charge. so, yes, a bit of cloud to start off in eastern parts, a few showers out towards the west, but a decent amount of dry weather, some spells of sunshine, the winds relatively light. temperatures north to south, 6 to 13 degrees. and then a band of cloud and rain pushing into the south west of england later in the day. that rain will make some progress northwards and eastwards across the south west of england, wales, northern ireland. some other western parts turning wet as we head deeper into the evening and as we get into the start of the weekend, well, this frontal system drives eastwards. outbreaks of rain with that, low pressure firmly in charge for the weekend. but with south westerly winds, it is going to be mild. with that, though, we'll see quite a lot of rain, wet weather for many of us to start saturday morning. and even as the main rain band clears, we will see a mix of sunny spells and hefty, blustery, perhaps thundery showers. some strong winds — strongest winds likely to be in northern and northeastern parts. we could see gales in places and temperatures for most of us in double digits. in fact, cardiff and plymouth could get to 16 degrees, very mild for the time of year. into sunday further showers or longer spells of rain, the strongest winds this time across western and south western parts. there will be some spells of sunshine and still mild, just about all of us up into double digits. live from london. this is bbc news. the bbc goes inside gaza's largest hospital to see what israel says is evidence hamas has been using al—shifa for military purposes. they say that
