Another reshuffle is underway

in Westminster as the Prime Minister

considers who to bring in to replace

Priti Patel as International

development secretary.

She was forced to resign yesterday

after a series of unsanctioned

meetings with Israeli politicians

over the summer.

Her successor is expected to be

named within the hour.

We'll have the latest

from Westminster.

Also this lunchtime:

A woman has been arrested

on suspicion of neglect

in connection with an investigation

into Sussex Healthcare.

More than 2000 children under 15

were referred to the government's

anti-terrorism programme,

Prevent, in just a year

according to new figures.

The father of a man who died

after his ex girlfriend allegedly

threw acid at him breaks down

in court as he describes

his son's injuries.

Edited out after a string

of assault allegations -

Kevin Spacey is being replaced

in a Hollywood film

which opens in six weeks time.

And flying a body controlled

jet engine power suit -

the British man who has just flown

into the record books.

And coming up in the sport later

in the hour on BBC News:

England women are pegged

back on the opening day

of the Ashes Test in Sydney,

one that they can't afford to lose.

Good afternoon and welcome

to the BBC News at One.

For the second time in just a week,

Theresa May is embarking

on another cabinet reshuffle.

She is carrying out a delicate

balancing act as she decides

who will replace Priti Patel

as international

development secretary.

Ms Patel is a prominent Brexit

supporter, and the Prime Minister

is facing calls to replace her

with someone who also

backs leaving the EU.

Our political correspondent Eleanor

Garnier reports from Westminster.

Cleaning up after a chaotic week.

Not just one but two Cabinet

ministers gone within days. No

pressure on the Prime Minister to

get her government back on track.

How damaging is all this for the

government?

As the rest of a cabinet

like the Brexit secretary and fresh

faces like the new Chief Whip try to

get on with their jobs. But in the

end Priti Patel had to go. After

admitting she had failed to tell the

Prime Minister about all of her

secret meetings with Israeli

politicians. In her resignation

letter at the now former

international the Belmont Secretary

admitted her actions fell below the

standards of transparency and

openness that I had promoted and

advocated. I offer a fulsome apology

to you and the government. Theresa

May told Priti Patel that when we

met on Monday I was glad to accept

your apology but now that further

details have come to light it's

right that you have decided to

resign. The Cabinet had been

carefully balanced over Brexit, some

want another league supporter to

fill the post.

We have a delicate

balance in that we are all for

Brexit, the whole Cabinet is set on

the path to leave but she will not

want to change the balance for

example, I would be unhappy and

imagine others would be unhappy if

there were fewer women in the

Cabinet.

With two of her top team

gone in the week her deputy in all

but name under investigation and her

Foreign Secretary facing calls to be

sacked and the battle with Brussels

and the Brexit negotiations, Theresa

May is in a tricky position and

added together it seems things will

not necessarily be about to get any

easier. And there are still

questions over who knew what and

when.

It's important people know the

facts. Because I have a suspicion

there is more to this case than

meets the eye. Although the detail

role was to form a proper

conclusion.

Sympathy from some for

the former Secretary of State but

the focus is firmly on her

replacement and whether a change can

bring stability back to the Cabinet

table.

Our political correspondent

Vicki Young is in Downing Street.

Another very difficult day for the

Prime Minister, another balancing

act and we are expected to find out

who she has chosen within the hour?

Yes, the newest member of the

cabinet likely to walk up this

street within the hour. There have

been calls for some in the party as

there were last week after the

departure of Michael Fallon that

this could be the opportunity to be

bold and bring in new faces to

promote some of the younger members

of the party. I think that is

extremely unlikely, it's more likely

to be a limited reshuffle, one in,

one out. We had people like Iain

Duncan Smith talking about the

balance of the Cabinet which is to

do with Brexit of course and the

gender balance, somebody like Penny

Mordaunt for example, an experienced

minister who was on the Brexit side

of the referendum might be an

obvious choice. When you look at

what Theresa May is having to deal

with now, the unforced errors, the

departure of two Cabinet ministers

in a week, you have to go back to

1998 for the last time that

happened. She has the Brexit talks

which some feel are not making the

progress they should be making, a

budget in two weeks' time and yet

she is having to deal with these

events which are to some extent out

of her control. She will want to try

to bring control back as quickly as

she can and move on to her agenda

for government.

Thank you.

Well while Westminster is gripped

by the events of the past 24 hours,

the latest round of Brexit

negotiaitons is getting

under way in Brussels.

It's the 6th time UK and EU

officials have come together

to try to make some progress -

and as ever it's the financial

settlement that is proving to be one

of the main sticking points.

The EU has warned that the talks

can't move to the next phase

without an agreement on money.

The Brexit Secretary, David Davis,

and the EU's chief negotiator,

Michel Barnier, will join

the negotiations tomorrow.

Damian Grammaticas is in Brussels.

The speculation that the EU could

issue some kind of ultimatum?

What

we heard very clearly is not

ultimatum but a clear laying down of

the EU's timetable. Michel Barnier

has not been here today, he has been

in Rome making a public speech and

he has been saying it's high time

for clarification from the UK if a

transition deal, if progress is

going to be made before Christmas.

The reason for that is that the EU

leaders have a summit in December,

that's the next occasion at which

they could sit down and agreed to

push this process forward to start

talking about transition and the

outlines of a future deal. In order

to do that, they need to see

progress in the talks here within

the next two, three, four weeks

maximum and that is the EU's

timetable. As you were saying things

are stuck, in the past we have hardy

few days of negotiation at a time,

we have a brief session of technical

talks, not even detailed

negotiations, before David Davis and

Michel Barnier meet tomorrow. A

brief session this week, things we

were told we were going to push

forward after the last summit and

the Florence speech by Theresa May

are still stuck and the EU still

await answers.

A woman from West Sussex has been

arrested on suspicion of neglect

under the Criminal justice

and courts act and fraud

in connection with the investigation

into Sussex Healthcare.

She remains in police custody.

Our social affairs correspondent

Alison Holt is here.

This is a story which is breaking,

what are the police saying?

It is a

statement from Sussex Police a short

time ago and they said they arrested

a woman today on suspicion of

neglect under the criminal Justice

and courts act and fraud in

connection with this ongoing

investigation. She is in custody at

this stage and they say there will

not be any further details for the

moment. It's part of an ongoing

investigation into nine clear homes

run by a private company called

Sussex health care. They provide

support for people who are older as

well as people with severe learning

and physical difficulties. Sussex

Police have said in the past that

their enquiries have focused on an

alleged lack of care and

safeguarding for 43 residents since

April 2015 of whom 12 have died.

This follows the notification in May

of this year.

Thousands of children and teenagers

have been flagged up

to the government's anti-terror

programme in the past year according

to the first official figures.

The Prevent programme aims to reduce

the threat to the UK by stopping

people being drawn into terrorism.

In total more than 7000

were referred - a quarter of them

were under the age of 15.

In one case a 9-year-old boy

from London was helped

by the Prevent programme

after he stood up in class

and said he supported

so-called Islamic state.

It turned out he had been

watching their propaganda online.

Sima Kotecha reports.

Preventing terror attacks is a top

priority for the government, that is

why it has something called Channel,

a programme designed to stop people

being drawn into violent or

extremist behaviour.

The extreme

right wing will use Inler missed

narratives... I try to work holistic

way to understand the individual, to

see how I can best help them, not

only with an ideological risk or

vulnerability but also understanding

their particular personal

circumstances so we can identify

what the challenges are, what the

susceptibilities are and improve

that persons opportunity,

potentially getting them into

education, employment, these kind of

areas.

Today's figures show over the

last year more than 7000 people were

put forward for help after showing

signs of extremism. More than 1000

of them were assessed for inclusion

in the programme. Almost 400 then

received specialist support but 63

of them stopped cooperating. The

programme is voluntary and those who

were referred to it are under no

obligation to engage.

A lot of

youngsters are being radicalised as

well due to their vulnerability to

drugs.

A charity based in Birmingham

and partly funded by the Home Office

reaches two men outside mosque is

displaying fake drugs.

We want

people to come here and talk to is

about vulnerabilities they might

have which might be radicalisation

or homelessness or drug dependency

and that is something we are trying

to reach out to them to help.

Channel hasn't been without its

critics, there are some who argue it

targets particular communities or

create suspicion around them. There

are also questions about how

effective it really is and how those

who were put through the programme

are later monitored. And there are

serious concerns about what happened

to those who refuse help.

The good

news from the figures today is that

over 350 people who were really on

track to be violent extremists and

terrorists etc have been diverted

away from that cause. That means we

are safer as a result.

The UK threat

level remains at severe and that

means the effectiveness of the

government 's counterterrorism

strategy is crucial.

The father of a man who died

after his ex-girlfriend allegedly

threw acid over him has wept

in court as he described

the injuries his son suffered

and the impact the attack had

on his life.

Mark van Dongen was left

paralysed from the neck down,

lost a leg and the sight in one eye.

Mr Van Dongen survived

the attack but 15 months later

took his own life in a euthanasia

clinic saying he couldn't live

with the pain any longer.

His ex girlfriend Berlinah Wallace

has been charged with murder.

Jon Kay is at Bristol Crown Court.

Cornelius Van Dongen

lives in Belgium.

He came to court in Bristol today

to tell the jury about his son.

Mark Van Dongen was 29

when he died earlier this year.

He chose to end his life

at a hospital in Belgium,

where euthanasia is legal.

15 months earlier, he had suffered

what were described as catastrophic

burns at this flat in Bristol.

It's alleged his girlfriend

Berlinah Wallace threw sulphuric

acid over him in a jealous rage

after buying it on the Internet.

With his voice cracking,

and sometimes in tears,

Cornelius Van Dongen described how

the acid had affected his son.

He said Mark Van Dongen had been

so badly burned that initially

he was unable to speak,

and had to use his tongue

to indicate when letters were shown

to him on a sheet of paper.

Mr Van Dongen said

when he asked his son

who had done this to him,

he used his tongue to spell

out the word Berlinah.

Berlinah Wallace looked at the floor

as she listened to his testimony.

The 48-year-old denies murder,

and throwing a corrosive fluid.

Her defence team claim she thought

the acid was a glass of water.

Cornelius Van Dongen became

distressed as he described his son's

decision to end his life.

He said the young engineer

applied for euthanasia,

after being told he would be

permanently paralysed from the acid.

He said Mark, seen here with his

father before he was injured,

felt his life was over,

and he did not want to go on.

The prosecution claims

Mark Van Dongen could not bear

to live with what they call

his unbearable suffering.

They say he was driven to euthanasia

and that Berlinah Wallace

is therefore guilty of murder.

She denies both charges,

and the trial continues.

John Kay, BBC News,

Bristol Crown Court.

President Trump says he blames

the United States' huge trade

deficit with China on previous

American presidents,

and not on unfair Chinese practices.

Mr Trump was speaking after meeting

President Xi Jinping on the latest

leg of his tour of Asia.

His comments are being seen

as an important win for Beijing,

as John Sudworth reports.

Forget military brinkmanship

or trade wars, for this state visit

China is trying different strategy.

A charm offensive.

And the US seems smitten.

Our meeting last night

was absolutely terrific.

Our dinner was beyond that.

Our relationship has already

proven to be a great one.

My feeling towards you is

an incredibly warm one - as we said,

there is great chemistry.

In place of Mr Trump's old China

bashing, there was admiration

for the way it has exploited

the huge trade imbalance.

Right now, unfortunately,

it is a very one-sided

and unfair one, but,

but, I don't blame China.

After all, who can blame a country

for being able to take advantage

of another country for the benefit

of its citizens?

I give China great credit.

Watching this bromance back home,

Trump's core supporters might wonder

what happened to the promises to be

tough on China?

Critics will say that with a bit

of wheeling and dealing on business

and the pomp and ceremony of a state

visit, the Chinese have

flattered him into submission.

The two presidents watched as the US

and Chinese companies signed

an number of trade deals.

But on issues of substance,

market access, copyright theft

and state subsidies,

China is offering little

except warm words.

TRANSLATION:

President Trump's visit

has been successful and historic.

We now have the blueprints for

the future US-China relationship.

Then Mr Trump had one

more gift for his hosts.

Journalists' questions waved away.

US Presidents used to stand up

for press freedom in China.

Not this one.

John Sudworth, BBC News, Beijing.

Our top story this lunchtime.

Another reshuffle is under

way in Westminster,

as the Prime Minister

decides who to bring

in to replace Priti Patel as

International Development Secretary.

And coming up - Northern Ireland's

footballing fortunes -

the side is aiming to reach

its first World Cup finals

in more than 30 years.

Coming up in the sport in the next

15 minutes and BBC News, we'll hear

from the Northern Ireland camp as

they get ready for the first leg of

their World Cup play-off against

Switzerland in Belfast.

The actor Kevin Spacey is to be

edited out of a completed Hollywood

film, six weeks before its release,

following allegations

of sexual assault.

He'll be replaced in the thriller

All The Money In The World

by the Canadian actor,

Christopher Plummer.

Sony Pictures says the scenes

containing Mr Spacey will be reshot,

and the film will be released next

month as planned.

Here's our entertainment

correspondent, Lizo Mzimba.

A powerful true story with a cast

including almost unrecognisable

double Oscar winner Kevin Spacey

as John Paul Getty.

How much would you pay to release

your grandson?

Nothing.

But recent allegations

made against Kevin

Spacey looked set to kill off

the box office and Academy Awards

hopes of the story of the famous

1973

kidnapping of billionaire

John Paul Getty's grandson.

It's led to an unprecedented

decision to reshoot

all of Kevin Spacey's

scenes with a new actor,

Christopher Plummer.

Actress Valentina Violo who appears

in the movie says it must have been

a complex, difficult decision.

I think everything is

going a little bit crazy

right now, so probably,

if

they took this decision,

it is good for the movie.

It underlines the studio's

determination not to

let accusations aimed at one man

damage a film with more

than 800 performers,

writers and crew have worked on for

many months.

The film's award-winning

director Sir Ridley

Scott now has a monumental task: to

reshoot the scenes in question and

then to seamlessly edit them

into the already finished film.

At the same time, he

is turning what could

have been fatally bad publicity

into perhaps the opposite.

You could say he's profiting

very quickly on this

negative publicity,

turning the story around

in classic Hollywood

is

spin fashion, turning this

into a publicity machine

for this movie which,

to be honest, I have never

heard of until now.

Now it has this amazing

Hollywood story of rising

from the ashes of the awful Spacey

story, which has its victims.

There have now been

multiple allegations

made against Kevin Spacey,

while the studio, production team

and Sir Ridley Scott are confident

that All The Money In The World

will still be released in December

as planned, with the accused

actor no longer appearing

insomuch as a single frame.

Lizo Mzimba, BBC News. The First

Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones,

will issue a statement this

afternoon, following criticism of

his handling of harassment

allegations of Carl Sargeant, who

was found dead this week. It's

understood the 49-year-old killed

himself. His family said it was

never given details of the

allegations against him and couldn't

defend himself. Sian Lloyd is in

Cardiff for us. A very difficult

times for all concerned, but how

much pressure is the First Minister

under over this?

The First Minister

will be making his statement after

meeting Labour assembly members here

in the Senedd. That meeting is due

to start at 2pm. The mood is bound

to be sombre, because these members

are mourning the death of their

French colleague, Carl Sargeant, who

died on Tuesday -- their friend.

Yesterday the First Minister issued

a statement in which he said he was

deeply upset by Carl Sargeant's

death but he hasn't spoken publicly

about it any more than that, despite

facing criticism from Carl

Sargeant's family and from width in

his own party about the way he had

handled these harassment allegations

and yesterday Carl Sargeant's family

had issued a statement. They've

released a series of letters from Mr

Sergeant's Solicitor to the head of

disputes at the Labour Party, in

which they said they believed that

Carwyn Jones had prejudiced or was

in danger of prejudicing the

investigation into the allegations

because of comments he had made to

the media on Monday. Labour say that

procedures were followed. This

meeting will take place in private

here come we understand that the

statement will come at 4pm. There is

a great deal of speculation about

that. What is for sure is that

Carwyn Jones is under a great deal

of pressure.

The Prince of Wales and the Duchess

of Cornwall have paid their respects

to India's war dead,

as their tour of the

country comes to an end.

The royal couple observed

a minute's silence, and laid

a wreath at India Gate,

the national war memorial.

Our royal correspondent

Nicholas Witchell is in Delhi.

A warning that his report

contains flash photography.

Through the dense smog

of Delhi, the motorcade

of the man who will be king.

Charles will be 70 next year.

No heir to the British

throne has waited as long

to achieve his destiny.

At India Gate, Charles laid a wreath

in memory of those from the Indian

subcontinent who lost their lives

in the two world wars.

LAST POST.

In three days' time,

on Remembrance Sunday in London,

Charles will lay his mother's wreath

at the Cenotaph.

For the first time the Queen will

watch the ceremony from a balcony.

It will be the most visible public

sign so far of the transition -

the moves which are gradually

gathering momentum, preparing

the way for a change of reign.

Are there other people

you are employing?

That moment may yet be years away.

When it does come Charles knows his

campaigning will have to stop,

but for now he shows no sign

of curbing his interventions

on the environment,

for example, or his efforts

to assist young people.

In Delhi he met entrepreneurs,

helped by an offshoot

of his Prince's Trust.

It's on visits such as this,

where Charles is now the senior

substitute for the Queen,

and where he's delivering

subtle messages on behalf

of the British government,

that his enhanced king in waiting

status is most apparent.

In India the central message has

been about the Commonwealth.

It's important to post-Brexit

Britain and it's important

to Charles because he wants

to follow his mother as its head.

The Commonwealth, built

as it is on a firm foundation

of shared associations and values,

offers us an unparalleled

means to build bridges

between our countries.

A visit which began with a story

about a disputed shareholding has

gone on to underline Charles' role

on the international stage

and his increasing proximity

to the British throne.

Nicholas Witchell, BBC News, Delhi.

Football now and a very big night

ahead for Northern Ireland -

they're hoping to make it

into the World Cup finals

for the first time in more

than three decades.

They take on Switzerland this

evening in the first leg

of the qualifying playoffs

for Russia 2018.

Our sports correspondent Joe Wilson

takes a look at their chances.

In Belfast, new Belfast.

They tell the story

of what was built right

here to impress the whole world,

a Titanic experience.

What happened next is history.

Nothing generates global attention

quite like football's World Cup.

Northern Ireland were part

of it in the 1980s.

They twice qualified

for the tournament.

A team built on their

most capped player.

Time after time Pat

Jennings saved the team.

But there's been no World Cup

for Northern Ireland since 1986.

Jennings has been patiently waiting.

In all honesty do you think

there were times in the last 30

years when you thought this wouldn't

happen again, that it would be too

difficult for Northern Ireland

to get to a World Cup again?

Well, it's always going to be

difficult because of

the players we have available,

because of the numbers,

but having said that,

we have done unbelievable

and certainly looking back I'm often

asked have you any regrets about not

playing for a bigger team.

I never had that -

I'm honoured and delighted I've

played 119 times for my country.

So what stands between

Northern Ireland's footballers

and their onward progress

to the World Cup?

Well, tonight, it's the first

leg of the play-off

against landlocked Switzerland.

The Swiss are ranked

11th in the world.

In Xherdan Shaqiri of

Stoke City they have one

of the Premier League's

most talented attackers.

When I met him after training last

night Shaqiri had only had respect

for Northern Ireland.

It's a very tough team

to play especially here.

Being so proud it's tough to play.

But I think now it's

a 50-50 chance for them.

Really, you think so?

Yeah, it's only two games.

Northern Ireland's players

have the home leg here tonight.

Swiss fans will welcome them

to Basel for the second leg.

Today, they've been enjoying Belfast

in a football renaissance.

After all the Titanic experience

was that size doesn't always

equate with success.

Joe Wilson, BBC News, in Belfast.

Twenty years ago today BBC News 24 -

as the News Channel was then called

- went on air for the first time.

It was a big shift in broadcasting

for the BBC and it meant that

for the first time viewers no longer

had to wait for the daily

news bulletins to learn

about latest news developments.

It was also the day that the BBC

News website was launched.

In 1997 there were fewer than eight

million people online in the UK.

Now around 60 million have

access to the internet.

Nick Higham reports on two

decades of rolling news.

Hello and welcome for the first

time to BBC News 24.

I'm Gavin Esler.

And I'm Sarah Montague.

November 9th, 1997, and BBC

News 24 goes on air.

For the first time BBC

viewers didn't have to wait

for the News at Six or Nine.

It was available on tap.

I was hoping it would just

become something people

would turn on when they wanted

to know the news.

Why should we tell them

when they had to sit

down and watch the news?

I thought it would be a true utility

and therefore, once we'd started,

it would never go off air.

Was that what happened?

It went off air almost immediately

because of technical difficulties!

The computers didn't work.

It took time, but they did overcome

the technical problems.

You may have heard

that Air France...

Jane Hill, the only original

presenter still on the channel,

remembers the day it came of age,

when an Air France Concorde crashed

in Paris, in July 2000.

That story was so big,

it was the first time

we were simulcast, and the channel

ran on BBC One or BBC Two,

because the controllers of those big

national channels took the view this

was such a big, unexpected story,

the audience appetite wanted

to watch that story unfold.

We have some remarkable pictures

coming in from New York,

which we can go to now.

Since then, the channel has

covered many major stories.

The British people have spoken

and the answer is, we're out.

London Fire Brigade has confirmed

they are dealing with this serious

fire in a tower block

at Latimer Road, in West London.

The BBC was late getting

into the business of

rolling television news.

CNN had started in America in 1980,

Sky News, here in Britain, in 1989,

but where the BBC was a pioneer

was in providing news on the web.

The really significant event that

week in November 1997

was the launch of BBC News online.

It started modestly,

but soon grew rapidly,

deliberately trying to appeal

to a new, younger audience.

The idea was that online would start

to reintroduce young people to news,

because they were using computers,

and it was so successful that very

soon it became difficult technically

to keep up with the demand,

because it was being pumped

down Victorian copper

telephone lines basically.

These days, online and digital

services are at the heart

of the BBC's newsroom.

There's been a fundamental shift

in the way people get their news -

often through social media

like Twitter and Facebook.

That worries some.

When you were just consuming your

news, maybe three times a day

from the television bulletin,

you were obliged to look

at things that you didn't

know you didn't know,

or didn't know that you might be

interested in, but now we've already

to some extent decided what we're

going to be interested

in and who we are going to want

to discuss with and receive news

from, and that is a real

problem with the social

media news phenomenon.

But the appetite for television news

channels hasn't disappeared.

The BBC still reaches over

7 million people a week.

Nick Higham, BBC News.

A British inventor has flown

into the record books in a jet suit

he designed himself.

Richard Browning wore the suit -

powered by six gas turbine engines -

to fly across a lake in Reading.

Guinness World Records

logged his top speed

as 32 miles an hour -

making him the first ever holder

of a newly-created world speed title

for travel in a jet suit.

It's a very special moment

every time we suit up.

It's about 45 kilos.

You really know you're

about to do something.

As the engine starts spooling

up and starts to build

you can sense the energy.

The moment the ground

leaves your feet and you're

actually in the air,

it's a pleasure and a joy.

What an invention, Richard Browning

there. Now the weather, with Ben

Rich.

Hello, we've been on a journey this

week, with some sunshine, some mild

weather, and the destination is cold

weather, which will sink down from

the north, particularly during

Saturday Sunday, reaching just about

all parts of the British Isles. Here

and now it's relatively mild, Ella

list of literally in northern

Scotland but blue skies in

Aberdeenshire. There's been a lot

more cloud further south, that was

the scene in Devon earlier on. That

cloud is struggling to break up but

it will continue to do so this

afternoon, although the far

south-east is likely to stay quite

great and at times quite done.

Further north some sunshine, some

heavy showers in northern Scotland

on a brisk wind and temperatures not

too bad, 9-14. This evening

initially across England and Wales

it will be dry, the fog patch in the

south-east and then cloud and patchy

rain stashes in from the north-west.

By the end of the night skies will

be clear for Northern Ireland,

northern England and Scotland.

Wintry showers over the higher

ground of Scotland and over the

highest level routes there could be

icy stretches to take us into

tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning

in the south of England will look

similar to this morning. A lot of

cloud, some patchy rain, but very

mild down the far south-west, 13 in

Newquay. Further north into Wales

and the Midlands, more sunshine than

this morning. More than seeing 20

sunshine. Some showers into

north-west England. Scotland and

Northern Ireland, some sunny spells

and showers, wintry showers for

northern Scotland, where it will

also be quite windy. The wind will
