0:01:41 > 0:01:45Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48For the second time in just a week, Theresa May is embarking
0:01:48 > 0:01:50on another cabinet reshuffle.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53She is carrying out a delicate balancing act as she decides
0:01:53 > 0:01:55who will replace Priti Patel as international
0:01:55 > 0:02:03development secretary.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Ms Patel is a prominent Brexit supporter, and the Prime Minister
0:02:05 > 0:02:08is facing calls to replace her with someone who also
0:02:08 > 0:02:09backs leaving the EU.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Our political correspondent Eleanor Garnier reports from Westminster.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Cleaning up after a chaotic week. Not just one but two Cabinet
0:02:17 > 0:02:21ministers gone within days. No pressure on the Prime Minister to
0:02:21 > 0:02:28get her government back on track. How damaging is all this for the
0:02:28 > 0:02:32government?As the rest of a cabinet like the Brexit secretary and fresh
0:02:32 > 0:02:36faces like the new Chief Whip try to get on with their jobs. But in the
0:02:36 > 0:02:41end Priti Patel had to go. After admitting she had failed to tell the
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Prime Minister about all of her secret meetings with Israeli
0:02:45 > 0:02:50politicians. In her resignation letter at the now former
0:02:50 > 0:02:52international the Belmont Secretary admitted her actions fell below the
0:02:52 > 0:02:57standards of transparency and openness that I had promoted and
0:02:57 > 0:03:02advocated. I offer a fulsome apology to you and the government. Theresa
0:03:02 > 0:03:05May told Priti Patel that when we met on Monday I was glad to accept
0:03:05 > 0:03:09your apology but now that further details have come to light it's
0:03:09 > 0:03:14right that you have decided to resign. The Cabinet had been
0:03:14 > 0:03:19carefully balanced over Brexit, some want another league supporter to
0:03:19 > 0:03:25fill the post.We have a delicate balance in that we are all for
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Brexit, the whole Cabinet is set on the path to leave but she will not
0:03:28 > 0:03:34want to change the balance for example, I would be unhappy and
0:03:34 > 0:03:37imagine others would be unhappy if there were fewer women in the
0:03:37 > 0:03:42Cabinet.With two of her top team gone in the week her deputy in all
0:03:42 > 0:03:46but name under investigation and her Foreign Secretary facing calls to be
0:03:46 > 0:03:50sacked and the battle with Brussels and the Brexit negotiations, Theresa
0:03:50 > 0:03:53May is in a tricky position and added together it seems things will
0:03:53 > 0:03:59not necessarily be about to get any easier. And there are still
0:03:59 > 0:04:05questions over who knew what and when.It's important people know the
0:04:05 > 0:04:08facts. Because I have a suspicion there is more to this case than
0:04:08 > 0:04:14meets the eye. Although the detail role was to form a proper
0:04:14 > 0:04:19conclusion.Sympathy from some for the former Secretary of State but
0:04:19 > 0:04:23the focus is firmly on her replacement and whether a change can
0:04:23 > 0:04:26bring stability back to the Cabinet table.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31Our political correspondent Vicki Young is in Downing Street.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Another very difficult day for the Prime Minister, another balancing
0:04:35 > 0:04:40act and we are expected to find out who she has chosen within the hour?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Yes, the newest member of the cabinet likely to walk up this
0:04:43 > 0:04:47street within the hour. There have been calls for some in the party as
0:04:47 > 0:04:50there were last week after the departure of Michael Fallon that
0:04:50 > 0:04:54this could be the opportunity to be bold and bring in new faces to
0:04:54 > 0:04:59promote some of the younger members of the party. I think that is
0:04:59 > 0:05:09extremely unlikely, it's more likely to be a limited reshuffle, one in,
0:05:09 > 0:05:11one out. We had people like Iain Duncan Smith talking about the
0:05:11 > 0:05:14balance of the Cabinet which is to do with Brexit of course and the
0:05:14 > 0:05:17gender balance, somebody like Penny Mordaunt for example, an experienced
0:05:17 > 0:05:20minister who was on the Brexit side of the referendum might be an
0:05:20 > 0:05:27obvious choice. When you look at what Theresa May is having to deal
0:05:27 > 0:05:32with now, the unforced errors, the departure of two Cabinet ministers
0:05:32 > 0:05:35in a week, you have to go back to 1998 for the last time that
0:05:35 > 0:05:39happened. She has the Brexit talks which some feel are not making the
0:05:39 > 0:05:44progress they should be making, a budget in two weeks' time and yet
0:05:44 > 0:05:48she is having to deal with these events which are to some extent out
0:05:48 > 0:05:51of her control. She will want to try to bring control back as quickly as
0:05:51 > 0:05:57she can and move on to her agenda for government.Thank you.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Well while Westminster is gripped by the events of the past 24 hours,
0:06:00 > 0:06:02the latest round of Brexit negotiaitons is getting
0:06:02 > 0:06:03under way in Brussels.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06It's the 6th time UK and EU officials have come together
0:06:06 > 0:06:09to try to make some progress - and as ever it's the financial
0:06:09 > 0:06:12settlement that is proving to be one of the main sticking points.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15The EU has warned that the talks can't move to the next phase
0:06:15 > 0:06:16without an agreement on money.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19The Brexit Secretary, David Davis, and the EU's chief negotiator,
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Michel Barnier, will join the negotiations tomorrow.
0:06:22 > 0:06:29Damian Grammaticas is in Brussels.
0:06:29 > 0:06:35The speculation that the EU could issue some kind of ultimatum?What
0:06:35 > 0:06:40we heard very clearly is not ultimatum but a clear laying down of
0:06:40 > 0:06:46the EU's timetable. Michel Barnier has not been here today, he has been
0:06:46 > 0:06:51in Rome making a public speech and he has been saying it's high time
0:06:51 > 0:06:57for clarification from the UK if a transition deal, if progress is
0:06:57 > 0:07:03going to be made before Christmas. The reason for that is that the EU
0:07:03 > 0:07:09leaders have a summit in December, that's the next occasion at which
0:07:09 > 0:07:13they could sit down and agreed to push this process forward to start
0:07:13 > 0:07:18talking about transition and the outlines of a future deal. In order
0:07:18 > 0:07:22to do that, they need to see progress in the talks here within
0:07:22 > 0:07:27the next two, three, four weeks maximum and that is the EU's
0:07:27 > 0:07:33timetable. As you were saying things are stuck, in the past we have hardy
0:07:33 > 0:07:40few days of negotiation at a time, we have a brief session of technical
0:07:40 > 0:07:43talks, not even detailed negotiations, before David Davis and
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Michel Barnier meet tomorrow. A brief session this week, things we
0:07:47 > 0:07:51were told we were going to push forward after the last summit and
0:07:51 > 0:07:55the Florence speech by Theresa May are still stuck and the EU still
0:07:55 > 0:07:58await answers.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01A woman from West Sussex has been arrested on suspicion of neglect
0:08:01 > 0:08:03under the Criminal justice and courts act and fraud
0:08:03 > 0:08:08in connection with the investigation into Sussex Healthcare.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10She remains in police custody.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Our social affairs correspondent Alison Holt is here.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18This is a story which is breaking, what are the police saying?It is a
0:08:18 > 0:08:22statement from Sussex Police a short time ago and they said they arrested
0:08:22 > 0:08:26a woman today on suspicion of neglect under the criminal Justice
0:08:26 > 0:08:30and courts act and fraud in connection with this ongoing
0:08:30 > 0:08:33investigation. She is in custody at this stage and they say there will
0:08:33 > 0:08:37not be any further details for the moment. It's part of an ongoing
0:08:37 > 0:08:41investigation into nine clear homes run by a private company called
0:08:41 > 0:08:46Sussex health care. They provide support for people who are older as
0:08:46 > 0:08:49well as people with severe learning and physical difficulties. Sussex
0:08:49 > 0:08:54Police have said in the past that their enquiries have focused on an
0:08:54 > 0:09:00alleged lack of care and safeguarding for 43 residents since
0:09:00 > 0:09:04April 2015 of whom 12 have died. This follows the notification in May
0:09:04 > 0:09:07of this year.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Thousands of children and teenagers have been flagged up
0:09:09 > 0:09:11to the government's anti-terror programme in the past year according
0:09:11 > 0:09:15to the first official figures.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18The Prevent programme aims to reduce the threat to the UK by stopping
0:09:18 > 0:09:20people being drawn into terrorism.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22In total more than 7000 were referred - a quarter of them
0:09:22 > 0:09:24were under the age of 15.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26In one case a 9-year-old boy from London was helped
0:09:26 > 0:09:29by the Prevent programme after he stood up in class
0:09:29 > 0:09:32and said he supported so-called Islamic state.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34It turned out he had been watching their propaganda online.
0:09:34 > 0:09:41Sima Kotecha reports.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Preventing terror attacks is a top priority for the government, that is
0:09:44 > 0:09:48why it has something called Channel, a programme designed to stop people
0:09:48 > 0:09:53being drawn into violent or extremist behaviour.The extreme
0:09:53 > 0:10:04right wing will use Inler missed narratives... I try to work holistic
0:10:04 > 0:10:08way to understand the individual, to see how I can best help them, not
0:10:08 > 0:10:17only with an ideological risk or vulnerability but also understanding
0:10:17 > 0:10:21their particular personal circumstances so we can identify
0:10:21 > 0:10:24what the challenges are, what the susceptibilities are and improve
0:10:24 > 0:10:29that persons opportunity, potentially getting them into
0:10:29 > 0:10:33education, employment, these kind of areas.Today's figures show over the
0:10:33 > 0:10:38last year more than 7000 people were put forward for help after showing
0:10:38 > 0:10:42signs of extremism. More than 1000 of them were assessed for inclusion
0:10:42 > 0:10:48in the programme. Almost 400 then received specialist support but 63
0:10:48 > 0:10:53of them stopped cooperating. The programme is voluntary and those who
0:10:53 > 0:10:58were referred to it are under no obligation to engage.A lot of
0:10:58 > 0:11:01youngsters are being radicalised as well due to their vulnerability to
0:11:01 > 0:11:08drugs.A charity based in Birmingham and partly funded by the Home Office
0:11:08 > 0:11:12reaches two men outside mosque is displaying fake drugs.We want
0:11:12 > 0:11:15people to come here and talk to is about vulnerabilities they might
0:11:15 > 0:11:20have which might be radicalisation or homelessness or drug dependency
0:11:20 > 0:11:25and that is something we are trying to reach out to them to help.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30Channel hasn't been without its critics, there are some who argue it
0:11:30 > 0:11:34targets particular communities or create suspicion around them. There
0:11:34 > 0:11:37are also questions about how effective it really is and how those
0:11:37 > 0:11:42who were put through the programme are later monitored. And there are
0:11:42 > 0:11:46serious concerns about what happened to those who refuse help.The good
0:11:46 > 0:11:51news from the figures today is that over 350 people who were really on
0:11:51 > 0:11:56track to be violent extremists and terrorists etc have been diverted
0:11:56 > 0:12:01away from that cause. That means we are safer as a result.The UK threat
0:12:01 > 0:12:05level remains at severe and that means the effectiveness of the
0:12:05 > 0:12:11government 's counterterrorism strategy is crucial.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14The father of a man who died after his ex-girlfriend allegedly
0:12:14 > 0:12:17threw acid over him has wept in court as he described
0:12:17 > 0:12:19the injuries his son suffered and the impact the attack had
0:12:19 > 0:12:20on his life.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Mark van Dongen was left paralysed from the neck down,
0:12:23 > 0:12:28lost a leg and the sight in one eye.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Mr Van Dongen survived the attack but 15 months later
0:12:30 > 0:12:33took his own life in a euthanasia clinic saying he couldn't live
0:12:33 > 0:12:34with the pain any longer.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37His ex girlfriend Berlinah Wallace has been charged with murder.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Jon Kay is at Bristol Crown Court.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Cornelius Van Dongen lives in Belgium.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48He came to court in Bristol today to tell the jury about his son.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Mark Van Dongen was 29 when he died earlier this year.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54He chose to end his life at a hospital in Belgium,
0:12:54 > 0:12:58where euthanasia is legal.
0:12:58 > 0:13:0115 months earlier, he had suffered what were described as catastrophic
0:13:01 > 0:13:05burns at this flat in Bristol.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08It's alleged his girlfriend Berlinah Wallace threw sulphuric
0:13:08 > 0:13:12acid over him in a jealous rage after buying it on the Internet.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15With his voice cracking, and sometimes in tears,
0:13:15 > 0:13:20Cornelius Van Dongen described how the acid had affected his son.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24He said Mark Van Dongen had been so badly burned that initially
0:13:24 > 0:13:28he was unable to speak, and had to use his tongue
0:13:28 > 0:13:33to indicate when letters were shown to him on a sheet of paper.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Mr Van Dongen said when he asked his son
0:13:35 > 0:13:38who had done this to him, he used his tongue to spell
0:13:38 > 0:13:39out the word Berlinah.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44Berlinah Wallace looked at the floor as she listened to his testimony.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47The 48-year-old denies murder, and throwing a corrosive fluid.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Her defence team claim she thought the acid was a glass of water.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Cornelius Van Dongen became distressed as he described his son's
0:13:53 > 0:13:56decision to end his life.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58He said the young engineer applied for euthanasia,
0:13:58 > 0:14:03after being told he would be permanently paralysed from the acid.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06He said Mark, seen here with his father before he was injured,
0:14:06 > 0:14:09felt his life was over, and he did not want to go on.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12The prosecution claims Mark Van Dongen could not bear
0:14:12 > 0:14:19to live with what they call his unbearable suffering.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22They say he was driven to euthanasia and that Berlinah Wallace
0:14:22 > 0:14:23is therefore guilty of murder.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25She denies both charges, and the trial continues.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30John Kay, BBC News, Bristol Crown Court.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32President Trump says he blames the United States' huge trade
0:14:32 > 0:14:34deficit with China on previous American presidents,
0:14:34 > 0:14:35and not on unfair Chinese practices.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Mr Trump was speaking after meeting President Xi Jinping on the latest
0:14:38 > 0:14:42leg of his tour of Asia.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44His comments are being seen as an important win for Beijing,
0:14:44 > 0:14:54as John Sudworth reports.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Forget military brinkmanship or trade wars, for this state visit
0:14:56 > 0:15:00China is trying different strategy.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02A charm offensive.
0:15:02 > 0:15:08And the US seems smitten.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Our meeting last night was absolutely terrific.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Our dinner was beyond that.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21Our relationship has already proven to be a great one.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24My feeling towards you is an incredibly warm one - as we said,
0:15:24 > 0:15:25there is great chemistry.
0:15:25 > 0:15:31In place of Mr Trump's old China bashing, there was admiration
0:15:31 > 0:15:36for the way it has exploited the huge trade imbalance.
0:15:36 > 0:15:43Right now, unfortunately, it is a very one-sided
0:15:43 > 0:15:51and unfair one, but, but, I don't blame China.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57After all, who can blame a country for being able to take advantage
0:15:57 > 0:16:00of another country for the benefit of its citizens?
0:16:00 > 0:16:06I give China great credit.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11Watching this bromance back home, Trump's core supporters might wonder
0:16:11 > 0:16:16what happened to the promises to be tough on China?
0:16:16 > 0:16:21Critics will say that with a bit of wheeling and dealing on business
0:16:21 > 0:16:24and the pomp and ceremony of a state visit, the Chinese have
0:16:24 > 0:16:28flattered him into submission.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32The two presidents watched as the US and Chinese companies signed
0:16:32 > 0:16:35an number of trade deals.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38But on issues of substance, market access, copyright theft
0:16:38 > 0:16:39and state subsidies, China is offering little
0:16:39 > 0:16:45except warm words.
0:16:45 > 0:16:51TRANSLATION:President Trump's visit has been successful and historic.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56We now have the blueprints for the future US-China relationship.
0:16:56 > 0:17:03Then Mr Trump had one more gift for his hosts.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08Journalists' questions waved away.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11US Presidents used to stand up for press freedom in China.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15Not this one.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18John Sudworth, BBC News, Beijing.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Our top story this lunchtime.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Another reshuffle is under way in Westminster,
0:17:23 > 0:17:25as the Prime Minister decides who to bring
0:17:25 > 0:17:29in to replace Priti Patel as International Development Secretary.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31And coming up - Northern Ireland's footballing fortunes -

0:17:34 > 0:17:39in more than 30 years.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44Coming up in the sport in the next 15 minutes and BBC News, we'll hear
0:17:44 > 0:17:47from the Northern Ireland camp as they get ready for the first leg of
0:17:47 > 0:17:51their World Cup play-off against Switzerland in Belfast.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58The actor Kevin Spacey is to be edited out of a completed Hollywood
0:17:58 > 0:18:01film, six weeks before its release, following allegations
0:18:01 > 0:18:03of sexual assault.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06He'll be replaced in the thriller All The Money In The World
0:18:06 > 0:18:08by the Canadian actor, Christopher Plummer.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Sony Pictures says the scenes containing Mr Spacey will be reshot,
0:18:12 > 0:18:15and the film will be released next month as planned.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Here's our entertainment correspondent, Lizo Mzimba.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23A powerful true story with a cast including almost unrecognisable
0:18:23 > 0:18:33double Oscar winner Kevin Spacey as John Paul Getty.
0:18:33 > 0:18:40How much would you pay to release your grandson?Nothing.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41But recent allegations made against Kevin
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Spacey looked set to kill off the box office and Academy Awards
0:18:44 > 0:18:46hopes of the story of the famous 1973
0:18:46 > 0:18:48kidnapping of billionaire John Paul Getty's grandson.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50It's led to an unprecedented decision to reshoot
0:18:50 > 0:18:52all of Kevin Spacey's scenes with a new actor,
0:18:52 > 0:18:53Christopher Plummer.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Actress Valentina Violo who appears in the movie says it must have been
0:18:56 > 0:19:00a complex, difficult decision.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02I think everything is going a little bit crazy
0:19:02 > 0:19:08right now, so probably, if
0:19:08 > 0:19:11they took this decision, it is good for the movie.
0:19:11 > 0:19:19It underlines the studio's determination not to
0:19:19 > 0:19:22let accusations aimed at one man damage a film with more
0:19:22 > 0:19:24than 800 performers, writers and crew have worked on for
0:19:24 > 0:19:25many months.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27The film's award-winning director Sir Ridley
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Scott now has a monumental task: to reshoot the scenes in question and
0:19:30 > 0:19:32then to seamlessly edit them into the already finished film.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34At the same time, he is turning what could
0:19:34 > 0:19:38have been fatally bad publicity into perhaps the opposite.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40You could say he's profiting very quickly on this
0:19:40 > 0:19:42negative publicity, turning the story around
0:19:42 > 0:19:49in classic Hollywood is
0:19:49 > 0:19:51spin fashion, turning this into a publicity machine
0:19:51 > 0:19:53for this movie which, to be honest, I have never
0:19:53 > 0:19:54heard of until now.
0:19:54 > 0:20:02Now it has this amazing Hollywood story of rising
0:20:02 > 0:20:04from the ashes of the awful Spacey story, which has its victims.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06There have now been multiple allegations
0:20:06 > 0:20:08made against Kevin Spacey, while the studio, production team
0:20:08 > 0:20:12and Sir Ridley Scott are confident that All The Money In The World
0:20:12 > 0:20:15will still be released in December as planned, with the accused
0:20:15 > 0:20:20actor no longer appearing insomuch as a single frame.
0:20:20 > 0:20:28Lizo Mzimba, BBC News. The First Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones,
0:20:28 > 0:20:32will issue a statement this afternoon, following criticism of
0:20:32 > 0:20:35his handling of harassment allegations of Carl Sargeant, who
0:20:35 > 0:20:39was found dead this week. It's understood the 49-year-old killed
0:20:39 > 0:20:42himself. His family said it was never given details of the
0:20:42 > 0:20:45allegations against him and couldn't defend himself. Sian Lloyd is in
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Cardiff for us. A very difficult times for all concerned, but how
0:20:49 > 0:20:53much pressure is the First Minister under over this?The First Minister
0:20:53 > 0:20:57will be making his statement after meeting Labour assembly members here
0:20:57 > 0:21:03in the Senedd. That meeting is due to start at 2pm. The mood is bound
0:21:03 > 0:21:07to be sombre, because these members are mourning the death of their
0:21:07 > 0:21:12French colleague, Carl Sargeant, who died on Tuesday -- their friend.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Yesterday the First Minister issued a statement in which he said he was
0:21:15 > 0:21:18deeply upset by Carl Sargeant's death but he hasn't spoken publicly
0:21:18 > 0:21:22about it any more than that, despite facing criticism from Carl
0:21:22 > 0:21:27Sargeant's family and from width in his own party about the way he had
0:21:27 > 0:21:31handled these harassment allegations and yesterday Carl Sargeant's family
0:21:31 > 0:21:35had issued a statement. They've released a series of letters from Mr
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Sergeant's Solicitor to the head of disputes at the Labour Party, in
0:21:38 > 0:21:48which they said they believed that Carwyn Jones had prejudiced or was
0:21:48 > 0:21:50in danger of prejudicing the investigation into the allegations
0:21:50 > 0:21:53because of comments he had made to the media on Monday. Labour say that
0:21:53 > 0:21:55procedures were followed. This meeting will take place in private
0:21:55 > 0:21:57here come we understand that the statement will come at 4pm. There is
0:21:57 > 0:22:02a great deal of speculation about that. What is for sure is that
0:22:02 > 0:22:10Carwyn Jones is under a great deal of pressure.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall have paid their respects
0:22:13 > 0:22:16to India's war dead, as their tour of the
0:22:16 > 0:22:17country comes to an end.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19The royal couple observed a minute's silence, and laid
0:22:19 > 0:22:21a wreath at India Gate, the national war memorial.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell is in Delhi.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25A warning that his report contains flash photography.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Through the dense smog of Delhi, the motorcade
0:22:27 > 0:22:29of the man who will be king.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33Charles will be 70 next year.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36No heir to the British throne has waited as long
0:22:36 > 0:22:37to achieve his destiny.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40At India Gate, Charles laid a wreath in memory of those from the Indian
0:22:40 > 0:22:43subcontinent who lost their lives in the two world wars.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46LAST POST.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49In three days' time, on Remembrance Sunday in London,
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Charles will lay his mother's wreath at the Cenotaph.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57For the first time the Queen will watch the ceremony from a balcony.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01It will be the most visible public sign so far of the transition -
0:23:01 > 0:23:04the moves which are gradually gathering momentum, preparing
0:23:04 > 0:23:07the way for a change of reign.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Are there other people you are employing?
0:23:08 > 0:23:11That moment may yet be years away.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14When it does come Charles knows his campaigning will have to stop,
0:23:14 > 0:23:17but for now he shows no sign of curbing his interventions
0:23:17 > 0:23:19on the environment, for example, or his efforts
0:23:19 > 0:23:24to assist young people.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26In Delhi he met entrepreneurs, helped by an offshoot
0:23:26 > 0:23:29of his Prince's Trust.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32It's on visits such as this, where Charles is now the senior
0:23:32 > 0:23:35substitute for the Queen, and where he's delivering
0:23:35 > 0:23:38subtle messages on behalf of the British government,
0:23:38 > 0:23:44that his enhanced king in waiting status is most apparent.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47In India the central message has been about the Commonwealth.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50It's important to post-Brexit Britain and it's important
0:23:50 > 0:23:54to Charles because he wants to follow his mother as its head.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56The Commonwealth, built as it is on a firm foundation
0:23:56 > 0:24:02of shared associations and values, offers us an unparalleled
0:24:02 > 0:24:09means to build bridges between our countries.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12A visit which began with a story about a disputed shareholding has
0:24:12 > 0:24:15gone on to underline Charles' role on the international stage
0:24:15 > 0:24:18and his increasing proximity to the British throne.
0:24:18 > 0:24:25Nicholas Witchell, BBC News, Delhi.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Football now and a very big night ahead for Northern Ireland -
0:24:28 > 0:24:30they're hoping to make it into the World Cup finals
0:24:30 > 0:24:32for the first time in more than three decades.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35They take on Switzerland this evening in the first leg
0:24:35 > 0:24:37of the qualifying playoffs for Russia 2018.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42Our sports correspondent Joe Wilson takes a look at their chances.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44In Belfast, new Belfast.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47They tell the story of what was built right
0:24:47 > 0:24:51here to impress the whole world, a Titanic experience.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55What happened next is history.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Nothing generates global attention quite like football's World Cup.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Northern Ireland were part of it in the 1980s.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04They twice qualified for the tournament.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06A team built on their most capped player.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Time after time Pat Jennings saved the team.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13But there's been no World Cup for Northern Ireland since 1986.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Jennings has been patiently waiting.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18In all honesty do you think there were times in the last 30
0:25:18 > 0:25:21years when you thought this wouldn't happen again, that it would be too
0:25:21 > 0:25:25difficult for Northern Ireland to get to a World Cup again?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Well, it's always going to be difficult because of
0:25:28 > 0:25:33the players we have available, because of the numbers,
0:25:33 > 0:25:36but having said that, we have done unbelievable
0:25:36 > 0:25:41and certainly looking back I'm often asked have you any regrets about not
0:25:41 > 0:25:43playing for a bigger team.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46I never had that - I'm honoured and delighted I've
0:25:46 > 0:25:51played 119 times for my country.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53So what stands between Northern Ireland's footballers
0:25:53 > 0:25:56and their onward progress to the World Cup?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Well, tonight, it's the first leg of the play-off
0:25:59 > 0:26:02against landlocked Switzerland.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04The Swiss are ranked 11th in the world.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07In Xherdan Shaqiri of Stoke City they have one
0:26:07 > 0:26:08of the Premier League's most talented attackers.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11When I met him after training last night Shaqiri had only had respect
0:26:11 > 0:26:12for Northern Ireland.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17It's a very tough team to play especially here.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Being so proud it's tough to play.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25But I think now it's a 50-50 chance for them.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26Really, you think so?
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Yeah, it's only two games.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Northern Ireland's players have the home leg here tonight.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Swiss fans will welcome them to Basel for the second leg.
0:26:35 > 0:26:40Today, they've been enjoying Belfast in a football renaissance.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43After all the Titanic experience was that size doesn't always
0:26:43 > 0:26:46equate with success.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Joe Wilson, BBC News, in Belfast.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Twenty years ago today BBC News 24 - as the News Channel was then called
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- went on air for the first time.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00It was a big shift in broadcasting for the BBC and it meant that
0:27:00 > 0:27:03for the first time viewers no longer had to wait for the daily
0:27:03 > 0:27:05news bulletins to learn about latest news developments.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08It was also the day that the BBC News website was launched.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12In 1997 there were fewer than eight million people online in the UK.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Now around 60 million have access to the internet.
0:27:15 > 0:27:24Nick Higham reports on two decades of rolling news.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Hello and welcome for the first time to BBC News 24.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27I'm Gavin Esler.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29And I'm Sarah Montague.
0:27:29 > 0:27:35November 9th, 1997, and BBC News 24 goes on air.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37For the first time BBC viewers didn't have to wait
0:27:37 > 0:27:39for the News at Six or Nine.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41It was available on tap.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44I was hoping it would just become something people
0:27:44 > 0:27:48would turn on when they wanted to know the news.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Why should we tell them when they had to sit
0:27:50 > 0:27:51down and watch the news?
0:27:51 > 0:27:55I thought it would be a true utility and therefore, once we'd started,
0:27:55 > 0:27:57it would never go off air.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Was that what happened?
0:27:59 > 0:28:03It went off air almost immediately because of technical difficulties!
0:28:03 > 0:28:06The computers didn't work.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09It took time, but they did overcome the technical problems.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11You may have heard that Air France...
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Jane Hill, the only original presenter still on the channel,
0:28:14 > 0:28:17remembers the day it came of age, when an Air France Concorde crashed
0:28:17 > 0:28:21in Paris, in July 2000.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23That story was so big, it was the first time
0:28:23 > 0:28:27we were simulcast, and the channel ran on BBC One or BBC Two,
0:28:27 > 0:28:30because the controllers of those big national channels took the view this
0:28:30 > 0:28:33was such a big, unexpected story, the audience appetite wanted
0:28:33 > 0:28:38to watch that story unfold.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41We have some remarkable pictures coming in from New York,
0:28:41 > 0:28:43which we can go to now.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Since then, the channel has covered many major stories.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49The British people have spoken and the answer is, we're out.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52London Fire Brigade has confirmed they are dealing with this serious
0:28:52 > 0:28:57fire in a tower block at Latimer Road, in West London.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00The BBC was late getting into the business of
0:29:00 > 0:29:01rolling television news.
0:29:01 > 0:29:06CNN had started in America in 1980, Sky News, here in Britain, in 1989,
0:29:06 > 0:29:10but where the BBC was a pioneer was in providing news on the web.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14The really significant event that week in November 1997
0:29:14 > 0:29:18was the launch of BBC News online.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21It started modestly, but soon grew rapidly,
0:29:21 > 0:29:25deliberately trying to appeal to a new, younger audience.
0:29:25 > 0:29:30The idea was that online would start to reintroduce young people to news,
0:29:30 > 0:29:35because they were using computers, and it was so successful that very
0:29:35 > 0:29:39soon it became difficult technically to keep up with the demand,
0:29:39 > 0:29:41because it was being pumped down Victorian copper
0:29:41 > 0:29:46telephone lines basically.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48These days, online and digital services are at the heart
0:29:48 > 0:29:50of the BBC's newsroom.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53There's been a fundamental shift in the way people get their news -
0:29:53 > 0:29:57often through social media like Twitter and Facebook.
0:29:57 > 0:29:58That worries some.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01When you were just consuming your news, maybe three times a day
0:30:01 > 0:30:04from the television bulletin, you were obliged to look
0:30:04 > 0:30:08at things that you didn't know you didn't know,
0:30:08 > 0:30:11or didn't know that you might be interested in, but now we've already
0:30:11 > 0:30:14to some extent decided what we're going to be interested
0:30:14 > 0:30:17in and who we are going to want to discuss with and receive news
0:30:17 > 0:30:20from, and that is a real problem with the social
0:30:20 > 0:30:23media news phenomenon.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25But the appetite for television news channels hasn't disappeared.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28The BBC still reaches over 7 million people a week.
0:30:28 > 0:30:35Nick Higham, BBC News.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38A British inventor has flown into the record books in a jet suit
0:30:38 > 0:30:43he designed himself.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Richard Browning wore the suit - powered by six gas turbine engines -
0:30:46 > 0:30:49to fly across a lake in Reading.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Guinness World Records logged his top speed
0:30:52 > 0:30:54as 32 miles an hour - making him the first ever holder
0:30:54 > 0:31:02of a newly-created world speed title for travel in a jet suit.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04It's a very special moment every time we suit up.
0:31:04 > 0:31:05It's about 45 kilos.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07You really know you're about to do something.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09As the engine starts spooling up and starts to build
0:31:09 > 0:31:10you can sense the energy.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13The moment the ground leaves your feet and you're
0:31:13 > 0:31:19actually in the air, it's a pleasure and a joy.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22What an invention, Richard Browning there. Now the weather, with Ben
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Rich.
0:31:27 > 0:31:33Hello, we've been on a journey this week, with some sunshine, some mild
0:31:33 > 0:31:36weather, and the destination is cold weather, which will sink down from
0:31:36 > 0:31:39the north, particularly during Saturday Sunday, reaching just about
0:31:39 > 0:31:44all parts of the British Isles. Here and now it's relatively mild, Ella
0:31:44 > 0:31:47list of literally in northern Scotland but blue skies in
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Aberdeenshire. There's been a lot more cloud further south, that was
0:31:50 > 0:31:54the scene in Devon earlier on. That cloud is struggling to break up but
0:31:54 > 0:31:57it will continue to do so this afternoon, although the far
0:31:57 > 0:32:01south-east is likely to stay quite great and at times quite done.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Further north some sunshine, some heavy showers in northern Scotland
0:32:04 > 0:32:10on a brisk wind and temperatures not too bad, 9-14. This evening
0:32:10 > 0:32:14initially across England and Wales it will be dry, the fog patch in the
0:32:14 > 0:32:17south-east and then cloud and patchy rain stashes in from the north-west.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20By the end of the night skies will be clear for Northern Ireland,
0:32:20 > 0:32:24northern England and Scotland. Wintry showers over the higher
0:32:24 > 0:32:27ground of Scotland and over the highest level routes there could be
0:32:27 > 0:32:30icy stretches to take us into tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning
0:32:30 > 0:32:34in the south of England will look similar to this morning. A lot of
