0:00:06 > 0:00:08Zimbabwe awaits news of the future of its deposed leader,

0:00:08 > 0:00:13Robert Mugabe, after a takeover by military leaders.

0:00:13 > 0:00:16Mr Mugabe remains under house arrest as Zimbabweans try to come

0:00:16 > 0:00:22to terms with the end of his 37-year leadership.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25There is this anticipation, this feeling that people

0:00:25 > 0:00:27want to celebrate, and yet, so many people here have learnt

0:00:27 > 0:00:30the hard way that politics is a very dangerous business.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32People get arrested, they disappear, there are beatings,

0:00:32 > 0:00:33there are killings.

0:00:33 > 0:00:36We'll bring you the latest from our correspondents reporting

0:00:36 > 0:00:44from inside the country.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47Also this lunchtime...

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Police say the final number of people known to have died

0:00:49 > 0:00:51in the Grenfell Tower fire is 71.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53It has taken so long because of the sheer challenge

0:00:53 > 0:00:56Grenfell Tower has placed on all the emergency services,

0:00:56 > 0:00:58but particularly the specialist teams we use to recover all those

0:00:58 > 0:01:00that have died.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02The actor, Kevin Spacey, faces 20 more allegations

0:01:02 > 0:01:07of inappropriate behaviour at the theatre he used to run.

0:01:07 > 0:01:11A pledge to build more homes - the Prime Minister promises to take

0:01:11 > 0:01:16personal charge of dealing with Britain's housing crisis.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19Russian athletes could face a second Olympic ban for not doing enough

0:01:19 > 0:01:29to address doping allegations.

0:01:29 > 0:01:34400 million dollars is the bid and the piece is sold.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36And the lost Leonardo goes for a record-breaking price.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38And coming up in the sport on BBC News...

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Are young people being priced out of football?

0:01:40 > 0:01:42A BBC Sport study suggests the next generation of season-ticket

0:01:42 > 0:01:44holders are yet to emerge.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10The future of Zimbabwe's long-time leader, Robert

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Mugabe, remains unclear

0:02:12 > 0:02:17after he was placed under house arrest by the country's military.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Two envoys from South Africa have arrived in the capital, Harare,

0:02:20 > 0:02:22to try to hold talks with the 93-year-old

0:02:22 > 0:02:26and with Zimbabwe's generals, who deny there's been a coup.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29The army's intervention is being seen by many as an attempt

0:02:29 > 0:02:31to prevent Mr Mugabe's wife, Grace, from succeeding him.

0:02:31 > 0:02:35Richard Lister reports.

0:02:35 > 0:02:40They are headlines most in Zimbabwe thought they would never see, the

0:02:40 > 0:02:45man who had helped the nation in an iron grip the 37 years swept aside

0:02:45 > 0:02:51by the military and now in custody. It is a lot to take in.Taken by the

0:02:51 > 0:02:56army, quite positive. We are a bit uncertain about what will happen.We

0:02:56 > 0:03:08are still...We have to respect our president because we have to give

0:03:08 > 0:03:12him a retirement package, find somewhere to keep him safe.The

0:03:12 > 0:03:16military says it is keeping the president say for now, armoured

0:03:16 > 0:03:20vehicles are still patrolling the streets of Harare today, the Army

0:03:20 > 0:03:24very much in charge, but also maintaining calm. President Mugabe

0:03:24 > 0:03:30has been kept out of sight to maintain this pretence of it not

0:03:30 > 0:03:33being a coup, the Army needs him to resign to allow a transition of

0:03:33 > 0:03:37power. Talks are under way with South African envoys but some

0:03:37 > 0:03:41reports suggest he is demanding to serve his full term.President

0:03:41 > 0:03:46Mugabe is still in power, the man in charge of Zimbabwe, he is protected

0:03:46 > 0:03:54by the Army. They got has happened. But what has not happened is a coup.

0:03:54 > 0:04:00Whatever you call it, waiting in the wings is Emmerson Mnangagwa, once

0:04:00 > 0:04:04Robert Mugabe's 's right-hand man, sacked as vice president last week,

0:04:04 > 0:04:09widely believed to have engineered the takeover. The whereabouts of his

0:04:09 > 0:04:14main rival, the President's wife, Grace, are known and some of those

0:04:14 > 0:04:18in the governing party who supported her in the past and criticised the

0:04:18 > 0:04:21military yesterday are now falling into line.Please accept my

0:04:21 > 0:04:28apologies on behalf of myself, we are young people, growing up, we

0:04:28 > 0:04:35learn from our mistakes. From this big mistake, we have learnt a lot.

0:04:35 > 0:04:40But will reshuffle at the of Zanu-PF be enough for these opposition

0:04:40 > 0:04:44activists with the movement for Democratic change? They have battled

0:04:44 > 0:04:55Robert Mugabe for most two decades both. Opposition parties may not see

0:04:55 > 0:05:01a path to power.It is urgent we go back to democracy, it is urgent we

0:05:01 > 0:05:06go back to legitimacy. But we need a transitional period and I think and

0:05:06 > 0:05:15I hope that the dialogue can be opened between army and Zimbabweans.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Mr Mugabe's official residence filmed here eight years ago may

0:05:18 > 0:05:22still have the trappings of power but its occupant has lost his

0:05:22 > 0:05:25authority. Where once could grandstand to the world, now others

0:05:25 > 0:05:31are deciding his fate. The man who said only God could remove him, the

0:05:31 > 0:05:36victim of a more mundane power struggle. Richard Lister, BBC News.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38Our correspondent, Anne Soy, is in Zimbabwe.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42Just bring us up to date with what's going on.

0:05:42 > 0:05:46Well, a lot of intense negotiations going on behind-the-scenes. We

0:05:46 > 0:05:52understand the regional bodies in southern Africa as well as the

0:05:52 > 0:05:55continental body are heavily involved in trying to broker some

0:05:55 > 0:06:00sort of political solution to this but there is a constitutional

0:06:00 > 0:06:04quagmire. They are very keen to ensure this does not appear like a

0:06:04 > 0:06:09coup even though it really does in the way it has been conducted. For

0:06:09 > 0:06:11now, the military says President Mugabe remains in charge, even

0:06:11 > 0:06:15though he is under house arrest. Apart from that, we have driven

0:06:15 > 0:06:20around the country, talking to people, you do not get the sense

0:06:20 > 0:06:24that it is a country in crisis, people are going about their

0:06:24 > 0:06:27business. There is a reduced presence of people in the terms.

0:06:27 > 0:06:31However, when you speak to them, there is optimism. They are hoping

0:06:31 > 0:06:36the change they have been waiting for a long time has finally come,

0:06:36 > 0:06:39that their fortunes could change, especially economically, but they do

0:06:39 > 0:06:45not know how the next few days and weeks will be.Many thanks.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Reporting from Zimbabwe.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49Our correspondent, Andrew Harding, is also in Zimbabwe.

0:06:49 > 0:06:54He's been speaking to people who've only known life under Robert Mugabe.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57We have come to a very ordinary township to talk to people

0:06:57 > 0:07:01about what's going on in Zimbabwe and two things are very striking.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04Everyone is feeling this enormous sense of anticipation.

0:07:04 > 0:07:09They know, they believe, that President Robert Mugabe,

0:07:09 > 0:07:15the only man they've ever known in charge of this country, really

0:07:15 > 0:07:20is on the cusp of stepping down.

0:07:20 > 0:07:24And so there is this anticipation, this feeling that

0:07:24 > 0:07:25people want to celebrate.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28And yet, so many people here have learnt the hard way that politics

0:07:28 > 0:07:29is a very dangerous business.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31People get arrested, they disappear, there are beatings,

0:07:31 > 0:07:32there are killings.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35And this has been something that has been a reality in Zimbabwe

0:07:35 > 0:07:36for many, many years.

0:07:36 > 0:07:40So people are waiting, they're waiting for it to become official.

0:07:40 > 0:07:44They are waiting either for President Mugabe to go

0:07:44 > 0:07:48on television and announce his resignation, or perhaps

0:07:48 > 0:07:50for Emmerson Mnangagwa, his former deputy, who was ousted

0:07:50 > 0:07:53and who has now come back on the back of this military coup,

0:07:53 > 0:07:56to go on television himself and say it is over.

0:07:56 > 0:08:01And then I think we will see people breathing out, people relaxing,

0:08:01 > 0:08:07and taking perhaps to the streets to mark this extraordinary moment.

0:08:07 > 0:08:12But until then, people are waiting, they are quietly overwhelmed,

0:08:12 > 0:08:16I think, and overjoyed, by and large, by what is happening,

0:08:16 > 0:08:19but they are also aware, of course, that this is not some popular

0:08:19 > 0:08:21uprising, this is not the opposition taking over,

0:08:21 > 0:08:24this is still Zanu-PF, this is still the party that

0:08:24 > 0:08:27has run things and it will carry on to run things.

0:08:27 > 0:08:32And so people are not sure exactly what will change

0:08:32 > 0:08:34in their lives when, and if, President Mugabe

0:08:34 > 0:08:40is finally out of the picture.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44The BBC's Andrew Harding there.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46Police investigating the Grenfell Tower fire say

0:08:46 > 0:08:48the remains of all those who were killed in the blaze

0:08:48 > 0:08:49have now been recovered.

0:08:49 > 0:08:5271 people are now known to have died when the blaze ripped

0:08:52 > 0:08:54through the tower block in June, including a stillborn baby

0:08:54 > 0:08:56delivered in hospital after his mother escaped.

0:08:56 > 0:08:57Tom Burridge reports.

0:08:57 > 0:09:04Grim statistics do little to convey the scale of this tragedy.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06But after five months, the police now have a

0:09:06 > 0:09:09definitive figure.

0:09:09 > 0:09:1170 people, they say, were killed in the fire, as

0:09:11 > 0:09:12well as a stillborn baby.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14It's not about a number, it's about the

0:09:14 > 0:09:17people, it's always been at the heart of what we do.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20The challenge of it has been immense.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23We've had our specialist teams work through

0:09:23 > 0:09:26about 15 and a half tonnes of debris, on each and every floor of

0:09:26 > 0:09:32Grenfell Tower, by hand, to find every single fragment

0:09:32 > 0:09:34that they can of all those that died.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36That's been extremely distressing to the

0:09:36 > 0:09:38families and indeed to those involved in the operation as well.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41The complexity of the police's work means a community waits.

0:09:41 > 0:09:46And scepticism and anger are prolonged.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50Anita Raphael knew people killed.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52She used to play in Grenfell Tower when

0:09:52 > 0:09:57she was a child.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00It's going to take a while for us to know

0:10:00 > 0:10:01the truth.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04You know, I don't think it's going to be like now or like the

0:10:04 > 0:10:08ending of the year, I think it's going to take about two years for

0:10:08 > 0:10:10everything to coming to light, you know, what's in the dark

0:10:10 > 0:10:11must come to light.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13That's how I see it.

0:10:13 > 0:10:15Because we have no information, really, what's going on.

0:10:15 > 0:10:16You know?

0:10:16 > 0:10:17Nothing at all.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19In the days and weeks following the fire, there was a

0:10:19 > 0:10:22lot of confusion about how many people had been killed.

0:10:22 > 0:10:23Previously, the police had said around

0:10:23 > 0:10:2880 people had died.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31The final death toll is lower, they say, because of a small

0:10:31 > 0:10:33number of cases of fraud and because some of

0:10:33 > 0:10:34the victims, who came from

0:10:34 > 0:10:37different countries, were reported missing several times.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39People living in this part of London have

0:10:39 > 0:10:44constantly demanded answers, but a vocal

0:10:44 > 0:10:46critic of the council in the wake

0:10:46 > 0:10:48of the fire says the debate about how many victims

0:10:48 > 0:10:51there were should now end.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53I think we have to accept that this is

0:10:53 > 0:10:55the final number.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57People are still angry about the chaos as it developed.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59I do pay tribute to the police and to the

0:10:59 > 0:11:00coroner's service.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03It's turned out to be far more complex than anybody

0:11:03 > 0:11:05thought it was going to be.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08Officers are examining millions of documents

0:11:08 > 0:11:11relating to the refurbishment of the tower before the fire.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13They are interviewing thousands of people and

0:11:13 > 0:11:16examining the role of dozens of companies involved.

0:11:16 > 0:11:22Any prosecutions are probably still a long way off.

0:11:22 > 0:11:27Tom Burridge, BBC News, in west London.

0:11:27 > 0:11:2920 people have claimed they were victims of inappropriate

0:11:29 > 0:11:31behaviour by the actor Kevin Spacey, following

0:11:31 > 0:11:35an investigation by the Old Vic Theatre in London.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38Mr Spacey was artistic director there between 2004 and 2015.

0:11:38 > 0:11:46Our entertainment correspondent, Lizo Mzimba, is at the Old Vic.

0:11:46 > 0:11:52This comes from an investigation by the Old Vic into Kevin Spacey's time

0:11:52 > 0:11:57there.That is correct. They engaged a law firm to investigate once the

0:11:57 > 0:12:02allegations began to emerge a few weeks ago. They said 56 people

0:12:02 > 0:12:06contacted them with information, 20 of those people alleged

0:12:06 > 0:12:10inappropriate behaviour by Kevin Spacey. This ranged from him making

0:12:10 > 0:12:15them feel uncomfortable through to sexually inappropriate behaviour.

0:12:15 > 0:12:21The bulk of these events took place, alleged events, took place between

0:12:21 > 0:12:302004 and 2009 in the time he was artistic director. They say the bulk

0:12:30 > 0:12:34of the alleged events took place at the Old Vic theatre itself. They

0:12:34 > 0:12:39apologised for not having created an atmosphere where people could feel

0:12:39 > 0:12:45free to speak out. They said possibly one of the causes was Kevin

0:12:45 > 0:12:50Spacey's star Xavier. One of the stars of the stage and off screen.

0:12:50 > 0:12:54-- behaviour. One of the people who said he behaved inappropriate calls

0:12:54 > 0:12:59them, the inquiry encouraged 14 to talk to the police because they said

0:12:59 > 0:13:04what had happened could constitute a criminal offence. Three of them said

0:13:04 > 0:13:09they had a ready done so. They asked Kevin Spacey to take part in the

0:13:09 > 0:13:12investigation but received no response. They say they are amending

0:13:12 > 0:13:15the codes of conduct to try to prevent something like this in the

0:13:15 > 0:13:20future.Thank you.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23Theresa May has said she will take charge of the Government's plans

0:13:23 > 0:13:25to build more new homes to fix what she's called

0:13:25 > 0:13:26a broken housing market.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28The Communities Secretary, Sajid Javid, has announced

0:13:28 > 0:13:31that he will intervene in the case of 15 local authorities

0:13:31 > 0:13:33in England which have failed to produce a local plan for housing

0:13:33 > 0:13:35in their area.

0:13:35 > 0:13:39Our political correspondent, Leila Nathoo, reports.

0:13:39 > 0:13:43Time to get Britain building. The housing market is broken, the Prime

0:13:43 > 0:13:48Minister says, and she wants to take personal charge of the response.I

0:13:48 > 0:13:51want to make sure young generations can have that same opportunity to

0:13:51 > 0:13:57have their own home, the house or flat that will work for them. That

0:13:57 > 0:14:02is why it is so important the Government and I am putting our

0:14:02 > 0:14:07focus on housing.New figures out this morning showed 217,000 new

0:14:07 > 0:14:12homes were added to England's stock last year, an increase of almost

0:14:12 > 0:14:1630,000 on the previous year. The Government once took up the rate and

0:14:16 > 0:14:21today announced two new measures to help. Housing associations borrowing

0:14:21 > 0:14:25will no longer be classified as part of public debt. The hope is that

0:14:25 > 0:14:38allows them to invest more to build. And ministers say they will

0:14:38 > 0:14:40intervene in 15 local authorities which have failed to produce housing

0:14:40 > 0:14:42plans. This morning, a promise from the Secretary of State to make a

0:14:42 > 0:14:46giant leap forward.Re-election, day after day, week after week, to give

0:14:46 > 0:14:50this country a housing market that works for everyone -- real action.

0:14:50 > 0:14:55In next week's Budget, you will see how seriously we take the challenge,

0:14:55 > 0:15:00just how hard we are willing to fight to get Britain building.

0:15:00 > 0:15:05Ministers calculation is housing is such a pressing political issue they

0:15:05 > 0:15:09must act. The Conservatives need to reach out to young people so drawn

0:15:09 > 0:15:13to Labour at the election, but there is still a debate within government

0:15:13 > 0:15:18over just how far to go. Burrowbridge to invest in

0:15:18 > 0:15:24house-building or encourage the private sector to do more --

0:15:24 > 0:15:30borrowed big. Labour argues low interest rates is an incentive to

0:15:30 > 0:15:35take out loans.Homelessness up 50%, rough sleeping doubling in our

0:15:35 > 0:15:39cities in recent years, overcrowding on a scale we have not seen since

0:15:39 > 0:15:45the Second World War. We need an emergency budget to bring forward

0:15:45 > 0:15:47significant housing investment, nothing that has been said today

0:15:47 > 0:15:52recognises the scale of the problem or brings forward the resources we

0:15:52 > 0:15:56need.Allocating scarce resources is the Chancellor's challenge next

0:15:56 > 0:16:01week. Housing is sure to be high on his list.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03Our economics correspondent, Andy Verity, is here.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05The minister pledging action on housing there

0:16:05 > 0:16:06in next week's Budget.

0:16:06 > 0:16:12But today, Labour produced detailed plans of its own.

0:16:12 > 0:16:16That is right. Sajid Javid's announcement was about reclassifying

0:16:16 > 0:16:20the debt. Only two years ago at Office for National Statistics said

0:16:20 > 0:16:24the debt owed by housing association should be regarded as the public

0:16:24 > 0:16:27debt and it threatens to constrain the amount they can borrow although

0:16:27 > 0:16:33in fact it did not. We are talking about the same status quo as we had

0:16:33 > 0:16:37before 2015. Labour's plans, they say they need it on a greater scale,

0:16:37 > 0:16:42we have not got numbers, but 100,000 affordable homes a year to meet

0:16:42 > 0:16:54demand. The number we need to build is more like 240,000 to meet overall

0:17:20 > 0:17:21Olympics, in February,

0:17:21 > 0:17:24after the World Anti-Doping Agency said it hadn't done enough

0:17:24 > 0:17:25to address allegations of widespread cheating.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27The organisation says it's maintaining a suspension put

0:17:27 > 0:17:29in place two years ago, when a report accused

0:17:29 > 0:17:30Russia of systematic state-sponsored doping.

0:17:30 > 0:17:34Our sports correspondent, Richard Conway, reports.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38It was Russia's moment to shine, but evidence of state-sponsored

0:17:38 > 0:17:42doping at the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014 continues to leave a stain

0:17:42 > 0:17:46on the country's sporting character.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49Russia's hopes of clearing its name suffered a blow today.

0:17:49 > 0:17:55The World Anti-Doping Agency thinks not enough has been done.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58It wants access to the Moscow lab suspected of being the hub

0:17:58 > 0:18:03of its doping operation and is also demanding acceptance that senior

0:18:03 > 0:18:06Sports Ministry figures were complicit in a cover-up.

0:18:06 > 0:18:12The argument from our Russian friends today was these top two

0:18:12 > 0:18:16are mainly political rather than normal procedure.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19I'm not sure that either of them are, but that's

0:18:19 > 0:18:21a different argument.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24But they haven't been fulfilled.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26Independent reports last year by the Canadian law professor

0:18:26 > 0:18:34Richard McLaren implicated the majority of Russian Olympic

0:18:34 > 0:18:37sports in cheating, prompting a partial ban at the Rio 2016 Summer

0:18:37 > 0:18:40Games.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43The Russian Minister of Sport directed, controlled and oversaw

0:18:43 > 0:18:44the manipulation of athletes' analytical results, or sample

0:18:44 > 0:18:46swapping, with the active participation and assistance

0:18:46 > 0:18:49of the FSB.

0:18:49 > 0:18:53But Russian authorities insist they are continuing

0:18:53 > 0:19:03their antidoping reforms.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07We are doing all our best to progress in antidoping activity

0:19:07 > 0:19:08among the whole of Russia.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10I mean in prevention, in education, in result management,

0:19:10 > 0:19:11testing and in investigation.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14With just under three months to go until the Winter Games

0:19:14 > 0:19:15begin in South Korea, Russia's Paralympians are currently

0:19:15 > 0:19:17ruled out of taking part.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20The final decision is due in mid-December.

0:19:20 > 0:19:24But the International Olympic Committee must also

0:19:24 > 0:19:27make its decision and rule if it's going to leave a sporting

0:19:39 > 0:19:41leader Robert Mugabe, after a takeover

0:19:41 > 0:19:42by military leaders.

0:19:42 > 0:19:47And still to come.

0:19:47 > 0:19:51Theresa May calls on all sides to act with restraint. And coming up,

0:19:51 > 0:19:58the highest price paid for a work of art, a painting by Leonardo da Vinci

0:19:58 > 0:20:02fetches more than £340 million.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05Coming up in sport - Mark Stoneman puts himself in prime

0:20:05 > 0:20:07position for an opening spot, with a century in England's final

0:20:07 > 0:20:09warm-up match before the start of next week's

0:20:09 > 0:20:16Ashes Test with Australia.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19The US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has called for a "credible

0:20:19 > 0:20:22and independent" investigation into the plight of hundreds

0:20:22 > 0:20:26of thousands of Rohingya Muslims who've fled Myanmar,

0:20:26 > 0:20:29because of a violent crackdown by authorities there.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31800,000 Rohingya Muslims have now crossed from Myanmar

0:20:31 > 0:20:35into neighbouring Bangladesh - because of what's been described

0:20:35 > 0:20:40by the United Nations as "textbook ethnic cleansing".

0:20:40 > 0:20:42Our correspondent Justin Rowlatt has been to Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh

0:20:42 > 0:20:49to see what's rapidly becoming the world's biggest refugee camp.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51A Bangladeshi army speedboat patrols the river that marks

0:20:51 > 0:20:55the border with Myanmar.

0:20:55 > 0:20:58From the boat, you can see tents and hundreds of people

0:20:58 > 0:21:00trapped on the beaches.

0:21:00 > 0:21:04They're desperate to escape.

0:21:04 > 0:21:08So desperate they'll take incredible risks.

0:21:08 > 0:21:12Some 60 people arrived on this raft made of plastic containers,

0:21:12 > 0:21:15lashed together with rope.

0:21:15 > 0:21:20One big wave could have broken it apart.

0:21:20 > 0:21:24Yet babies and grandparents made the journey.

0:21:24 > 0:21:31They tell the same, now-familiar stories of violence and horror.

0:21:31 > 0:21:35"They kept us on that beach for a month and a half," she says.

0:21:35 > 0:21:36"We had so little food.

0:21:36 > 0:21:41The army shot my husband, blinding him in one eye."

0:21:41 > 0:21:47Like many of the new arrivals, they are in terrible shape.

0:21:47 > 0:21:54Noor is two and half years old and is severely malnourished.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56If she doesn't receive nutritious foods soon, it could affect her

0:21:56 > 0:22:00development for life.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02One in four children are malnourished.

0:22:02 > 0:22:06We actually expect the situation to deteriorate before it improves.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08We have a nutrition crisis here, now.

0:22:08 > 0:22:1312,000 people will be given food at this one feeding station today.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17It is basic nutrition - just rice, lentils, and a little

0:22:17 > 0:22:21oil, but it is enough to keep you alive.

0:22:21 > 0:22:25There are now more than 800,000 Rohingya refugees here.

0:22:25 > 0:22:29No wonder they're calling this place the mega camp.

0:22:29 > 0:22:33Just look at it - there are now more people living here than in Leeds,

0:22:33 > 0:22:37Glasgow or Liverpool.

0:22:37 > 0:22:43And every day, it grows and grows.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45Things are getting more orderly.

0:22:45 > 0:22:51The mega camp is getting roads and bridges.

0:22:51 > 0:22:56Thousands of toilets have been dug in just the last few weeks.

0:22:56 > 0:23:01Geophysicists use drones to help find aquifers deep underground.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03The blues, those are our clays and shales.

0:23:03 > 0:23:07And the reds are aquifers - clean water.

0:23:07 > 0:23:08So that's telling you where to drill.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11How important is clean water in a situation like this?

0:23:11 > 0:23:13Clean water is fundamental to everything here.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15Without that, we will have outbreaks of disease -

0:23:15 > 0:23:20cholera, typhus, within days or a few weeks at the most.

0:23:20 > 0:23:25But the truth is this is still basically a giant, open-air prison.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28Soldiers guard the roads out of the camp.

0:23:28 > 0:23:35Refugees aren't allowed to leave, and they can't go back to Myanmar.

0:23:35 > 0:23:37Despite all the evidence of atrocities, earlier this week,

0:23:37 > 0:23:40the Myanmar government issued a report that exonerated

0:23:40 > 0:23:44its army from any blame.

0:23:44 > 0:23:49Justin Rowlatt, BBC News, Kutupalong.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52Thousands of women who discover they have advanced breast cancer

0:23:52 > 0:23:55will have access to two new drugs, which been shown to slow down

0:23:55 > 0:23:57the disease and delay the need for chemotherapy.

0:23:57 > 0:24:01They've been approved for NHS use in England by the National Institute

0:24:01 > 0:24:04for Health and Care Excellence - and it's thought around 8000 people

0:24:04 > 0:24:06in England will now have access to the medications.

0:24:06 > 0:24:13Our health correspondent Sophie Hutchinson is here.

0:24:13 > 0:24:20What difference access to these drugs likely to make to patients?

0:24:20 > 0:24:23It's hoped it will make a significant difference to those

0:24:23 > 0:24:26patients, who suddenly discover they have advanced breast cancer. At the

0:24:26 > 0:24:30moment those patients would probably go straight on to have chemotherapy,

0:24:30 > 0:24:34which in many cases can have quite debilitating side-effects. The real

0:24:34 > 0:24:41benefit of these two new drugs, palbociclib and possibly is as well

0:24:41 > 0:24:44as slowing down the cancer of the two years the side effects seem to

0:24:44 > 0:24:50be minimal -- reverse the clip. One woman said aside from a little

0:24:50 > 0:24:56fatigue, no one would know she was ill and it was life changing. They

0:24:56 > 0:24:59are for hormone related breast cancers. Until now treatments have

0:24:59 > 0:25:03been based on trying to prevent the hormone oestrogen from kind of

0:25:03 > 0:25:05fuelling the cancer but these two drugs work in a completely different

0:25:05 > 0:25:10way. What they drew is they try to block the molecule which tells cells

0:25:10 > 0:25:14you must divide and that's what cancers want to do, divide and grow

0:25:14 > 0:25:20into larger tumours. Because they are not growing it seems to trigger

0:25:20 > 0:25:24this programme within them, a kind of programme of death, if you like,

0:25:24 > 0:25:29so the cells start to die. To put into some context, scientists have

0:25:29 > 0:25:33described this as one of the biggest breakthroughs this type of medicine

0:25:33 > 0:25:36for the past 20.Thank you.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39Figures out this morning reveal that retail sales fell by 0.3% in October

0:25:39 > 0:25:41compared to the same month last year.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44But despite the annual fall, the Office for National Statistics

0:25:44 > 0:25:46says the underlying pattern is "one of growth," as the three months

0:25:46 > 0:25:49to October show a rise of 0.9% in the quantity

0:25:49 > 0:25:54of goods people bought.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56A British explorer who went missing on an expedition

0:25:56 > 0:25:59to reach a reclusive tribe in Papua New Guinea has been

0:25:59 > 0:26:00seen alive and well.

0:26:00 > 0:26:03Benedict Allen, who has no mobile phone or GPS device with him,

0:26:03 > 0:26:06was dropped by helicopter in the remote jungle

0:26:06 > 0:26:07three weeks ago.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09He's now been sighted near an airstrip and efforts

0:26:09 > 0:26:17are under way to bring him out.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19A 500-year-old painting of Christ, believed to have been

0:26:19 > 0:26:22by Leonardo da Vinci, has been sold in New York

0:26:22 > 0:26:23for a record £341 million.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25The painting is known as Salvator Mundi,

0:26:25 > 0:26:26the Saviour of the World.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29It's the highest auction price for any work of art.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31Leonardo da Vinci died in 1519, and there are fewer than 20

0:26:31 > 0:26:33of his paintings in existence.

0:26:33 > 0:26:42Our arts correspondent David Sillito reports.

0:26:42 > 0:26:47And so, ladies and gentlemen, we moved to the Leonardo da Vinci, the

0:26:47 > 0:26:52Salvator Mundi.The Salvator Mundi, by Leonardo da Vinci. For this sale,

0:26:52 > 0:26:57the record price was just over $100 million for an old master. It just

0:26:57 > 0:27:0428 seconds for that record to fall. At 110 million, who will give me...

0:27:04 > 0:27:10Two minutes later, this.190, 200 million is bit, at 200 million. At

0:27:10 > 0:27:15200 million.It had broken all sale records and we were only just

0:27:15 > 0:27:20getting started.This painting is what you might call the ultimate

0:27:20 > 0:27:25trophy work. There's only one in the world. So if you buy it you are the

0:27:25 > 0:27:28only person who's got the last Leonardo da Vinci in private hands,

0:27:28 > 0:27:37and you have got the ultimate trophy.290? 300. I thought so. 300

0:27:37 > 0:27:38million. APPLAUSE

0:27:38 > 0:27:42And that was the record for any painting, smashed, and there was

0:27:42 > 0:27:47still a long way to go. The journey to this extraordinary moment is a

0:27:47 > 0:27:50story fit for a thriller. It was part of Charles the first's

0:27:50 > 0:27:54collection. In the 18th century someone decided to Adam Beard to the

0:27:54 > 0:27:58face than four decades its whereabouts were unknown. Then, in

0:27:58 > 0:28:061958, it was sold at auction for £45 about $60 and in 2005 it was decided

0:28:06 > 0:28:10by a group of experts that this really was the work of Leonardo da

0:28:10 > 0:28:16Vinci. The clue was that face, that hazy shimmer, his signature style.

0:28:16 > 0:28:21There are those who still have their doubts but a leading Leonardo expert

0:28:21 > 0:28:26is convinced.There are no serious arguments about it not being by

0:28:26 > 0:28:30Leonardo. The only serious argument is the extent to which it's been

0:28:30 > 0:28:35damaged and repaired, which is quite extensive.19 minutes into the sale

0:28:35 > 0:28:46it had stalled at $370 million. And then this.400.400 million.Adding

0:28:46 > 0:28:51Christies' commission and that's a total price of $450 million. Game

0:28:51 > 0:28:57over.Sold.The name of the buyer, even where they come from, remained

0:28:57 > 0:29:00secret. But wherever they are, they've just made history. David

0:29:00 > 0:29:02Sillito, BBC News.

0:29:02 > 0:29:06Our arts editor Will Gompertz is with me.

0:29:06 > 0:29:10This is a staggering amount of money.It's mind blowing. When you

0:29:10 > 0:29:16think about this painting, which was sold in 2000 for around $10,000, it

0:29:16 > 0:29:23was overpainted at that stage and they discover this figure the niece

0:29:23 > 0:29:27of -- the discover this figure beneath. But throughout that period

0:29:27 > 0:29:31there have been questions about its authenticity, so it is this person

0:29:31 > 0:29:35who has spent $450 million on a picture which the majority of people

0:29:35 > 0:29:39say is by Leonardo, but a significant minority say could

0:29:39 > 0:29:44possibly not be by Leonardo. Most people think it's all by Leonardo,

0:29:44 > 0:29:49plus it's in terrible condition. So it's an extraordinary purchase from

0:29:49 > 0:29:52that point of view. To put it into context, the most ever paid at

0:29:52 > 0:29:58auction for an old master previously was in 2002, for Rubens, about $76

0:29:58 > 0:30:03million. The most ever paid before last night for any work of art at

0:30:03 > 0:30:11auction was around $179 million, in 2015, for the caso's women of

0:30:11 > 0:30:17Algiers. So to go from that figure to $450 million, you just have to

0:30:17 > 0:30:22say it, a bit of wood with painting on it, albeit they say by Leonardo,

0:30:22 > 0:30:25its eye watering!Indeed it is. Many thanks.

0:30:25 > 0:30:27Time for a look at the weather.

0:30:27 > 0:30:28Here's Louise Lear.

0:30:28 > 0:30:32Here's Louise Lear.

0:30:32 > 0:30:37I have my own masterpiece behind me. I'm just going to concentrate on

0:30:37 > 0:30:40this beautiful picture of Perth and Kinross, it's beautiful in Wales,

0:30:40 > 0:30:46but the moment it is cloudy and wet. It's a cold front moving across the

0:30:46 > 0:30:49country and as it does so it's bringing rain. To the south of this

0:30:49 > 0:30:55cold front we have some sunshine, but it's miles. Behind it, it's

0:30:55 > 0:30:57introducing cold air, windier conditions with a scattering of

0:30:57 > 0:31:02showers. In fact, gale or severe gales and the far north of Scotland.

0:31:02 > 0:31:05But generally speaking not bad. Some decent spells of sunshine. If you

0:31:05 > 0:31:10catch a shower they will be fleeting but they could be heavy, with

0:31:10 > 0:31:15squally showers, Sam hail and maybe sleet and snow above 200 metres.

0:31:15 > 0:31:18It's windy as well. Northern England, Northern Ireland, not too

0:31:18 > 0:31:22bad afternoon. And improving picture into Wales. Getting colder, yes, but

0:31:22 > 0:31:25the weather front will sit across East Anglia, down through the M4

0:31:25 > 0:31:30corridor by the end of the afternoon. It's miles, 14-15, if you

0:31:30 > 0:31:34keep some sunshine for the end of the day. The front clears through

0:31:34 > 0:31:37during the early evening. High pressure builds from the West. Like

0:31:37 > 0:31:41winds across England and Wales. Temperatures will fall sharply. We

0:31:41 > 0:31:46keep the wind and the showers in the far north. Not quite as cold here.

0:31:46 > 0:31:52Tomorrow morning, a shock to the system, we could see lows of around

0:31:52 > 0:31:55-4 or minus five degrees across England and where is, a cold, frosty

0:31:55 > 0:32:00start in rural spots. They could be early morning mist and fog and after

0:32:00 > 0:32:04the frosty start some decent spells of sunshine for England and while.

0:32:04 > 0:32:07The winds feature in the north, still driving in some showers across

0:32:07 > 0:32:11the far north and west but temperatures down in comparison to

0:32:11 > 0:32:16today. We'll see highs of around 7-10d. If we go into the weekend a

0:32:16 > 0:32:21bit of a tricky one. Not too much in the way of drastic changes, but the

0:32:21 > 0:32:29cold air trying to hold on across the north and east. But all the time

0:32:29 > 0:32:31milder air and whether friends slowly trying to influence the

0:32:31 > 0:32:33story. They will introduce more cloud and showery bits and pieces of

0:32:33 > 0:32:36rain to Wales and the south-west. Milder conditions, but frosty

0:32:36 > 0:32:41starts, but some sunshine in the north and east. 6-7 Baha'i. A very

0:32:41 > 0:32:45similar story as we move into Sunday as well. Southwest cloudy and damp,

0:32:45 > 0:32:48the further north and east, the greater chance of seeing some

0:32:48 > 0:32:51sunshine through the weekend with temperatures struggling just a

0:32:51 > 0:32:57little. I'll be back throughout the rest of the afternoon with Simon.

0:32:57 > 0:32:59A reminder of our main story this lunchtime.
