returning to wales. highs on wednesday between 12 and 1a degrees. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: the prime minister insists he's been a "model of restraint" in his use of language about brexit. i certainly think everybody should calm down. including you? i think i've been a model of restraint, but i think everybody should calm down. at the start of the conservative party conference a key announcement is made on new funding for hospitals in england. running street battles in hong kong mark some of the worst violence, in more than three months, of anti—government protests. flood warnings are in place across england and wales. some rivers have burst their banks. exit polls suggest austria's former chancellor, sebastian kurz, will win the general election just four months since he was ousted from power. he told supporters the results had left him almost speeches. a bbc investigation uncovers suffering and abuse at licensed puppy farms, in west wales. now on bbc news it's time for sportsday. hello

it is wales! australia gave it everything, but wales somehow held firm to win a match that marks them out as world cup contenders. even for the most experienced of welsh warriors, this is one they'll never forget. katie gornall, bbc news, tokyo. quite a quitea game! you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. you're watching the bbc news channel with ben brown. you are more now on the latest health spending pledge from the government with a promise to spend billions on what the prime minister is calling the biggest hospital building project for a generation. the plans spending two point seven billion pounds of investment —— the plans spending £2.7 billion of investment for six nhs hospitals over the next five years. boris johnson has been giving more details on his latest spending promise. are you happy with that? what micro—prime minister. are you happy with that? what micro-prime minister. we would try and bring you an edited version of that. earlier i got the view

in tokyo. —— await wales. katie gornall was watching their victory in the city and she has sent this report, saying she believes it will help the tea m saying she believes it will help the team focus. wales had their world cup off to a perfect start with a bonus point win in toyota against georgia. it was a game with contrasting halves, wales blistering attack in the first half, scoring four tries and wrapping up the bonus point before the break. but for a team that prides itself on their defence, they will be disappointed they shipped two dries in the second half although they managed to wrestle back control and put some gloss on the scoreline. i think warren gatland will be very satisfied with the outcome here after what has been a difficult week for wales. they were rocked earlier with the news that warren gatland‘s right—hand man, rob howley, was forster return home. he is the centre of an investigation into alleged betting irregularities so that news rocked the camp but they have responded in the righ

parts of wales have seen over 130mm of rain over the last seven days. no wonder, then, that we've had problems with flooding. and after a quieter start to monday, it looks like rain will then return from the south—west. we start off with this little bump in the isobars. a transient ridge of high pressure moving its way through. this cold front bringing some showers into northern scotland and this area of low pressure will be feeding rain in from the south—west. so we start off with mist and fog patches which should left and clear and clear and then a decent amount of sunshine, some showers feeding in across scotland and then this rain, particularly through the afternoon, piling into the south—west of england, three wales, where in the high ground, we could see a further 70 millimetres, getting into three inches, rain getting into the midlands as we go through the afternoon. to the north of that, northern england and scotland, largely dry with just the odd shower but on the cool side. as we go through monday night, the rain pushes northwards and ea

when it was put to the wales team. when it was put to the wales team. when it was put to the wales manager, he said it was a sign of respect from australia. it shows how far wales have come. it must be said that wales don't have a great record against australia, although they did win the most recent test between the two nations. whichever side wins, they will take a huge step towards the semifinals of this world cup. ireland started their world cup with a really impressive win over scotland. they face the hosts, japan, in shizuoka tomorrow, and they've made a couple of changes. gavin andrews is with the irish squad. all week, ireland have been pulling crowds. and today, the players looked sharp. as they focus on japan. another unique experience on this world cup journey. japan. another unique experience on this world cupjourney. great japan. another unique experience on this world cup journey. great for japan. another unique experience on this world cupjourney. great for us in yokohama to play a home match. the amount of green jerseys and support we had

australia gave everything, but wales somehow held firm. and it is wales in tokyo! even for the most experienced of welsh warriors, this was one they will never forget. katie gornall, bbc news, tokyo. lewis hamilton moved a step closer to a 6th formula 1 world title after winning the russian grand prix. his mercedes team took advantage of a ferrari meltdown to finish first and second in sochi, extending hamilton's lead in the drivers' championship to 73 points, with 5 races to go. the wet weather wreaked havoc at today's men's race at the road world championships in yorkshire. flooding had already caused the course to be shortened to 261 kilometres — before several riders crashed out — and more than half the field abandoned racing in the gruelling conditions. it was eventually won by mads pedersen, who became denmark's first men's road—cycling world champion. just one game in the premier league today — leicester are 4—0 up at home to newcastle, who've had in the wsl — history was made at the london stadium, where west ham women played for the first time.

the worst force in england and wales to get such a course “— england and wales to get such a course —— such a england and wales to get such a course —— such a poor england and wales to get such a course —— such a poor ranking. —— the first force. it doesn't operate efficiently or sustainably either. perhaps most crucially, the force is not reducing crime or keeping people safe. 67—year—old terry was beaten in middlesbrough city centre in an unprovoked attack last november. there were dozens of witnesses. a man was arrested but his son, a bar owner, says the family have not been contacted owner, says the family have not been co nta cted by owner, says the family have not been contacted by cleveland police since. they are a joke. quite simply they area they are a joke. quite simply they are a joke. they are a joke. quite simply they are ajoke. cleveland police is in crisis. last year, we revealed local people in hartlepool have taken to patrolling their own streets, furious with the lack of police protection. today one of the men we met that night told me little has im

wales launch their world cup campaign with a six—try win over georgia. coming up on sportsday on bbc news, several changes for england ahead of their upcoming series with new zealand. jonny bairstow misses out, find out who is in a little later. greta thunberg — the 16—year—old climate change activist — has launched a strongly—worded attack on world leaders accusing them of betraying her generation through their inaction on global warming. but many heads of state have stayed away from the summit. from new york here's our north america correspondent nick bryant. a sweltering september scorcher in new york city — not much sign of autumn here. and it hasn'tjust been a long summer, but north of the equator, the hottest ever on record. so, today at the riverside headquarters of the united nations, an urgent climate action summit. this global body, once more, sounding the alarm. the world is losing the race against climate change. applause. in this air—conditioned auditorium, the heat came from the 16—year—old swedish activist greta thunberg.

first half, gareth davis broke three and you sensed all the momentum with wales. they looked in control. you have to give full credit to australia for the way they surged back into this match, scoring two tries and a penalty in the second half to get within one point of wales. the tension in that point was written all over the face of the welsh coach warren gatland but what they needed at that point was cool heads and they had that in the replacement fly half who was on. between him and some dogeared welsh defending, whales were able to hold on and secure a memorable victory that not only puts them in control of pool d but also marks them out as real contenders to win the whole world cup. lewis hamilton has extended his lead at the top of the formula 1 standings after winning the russian grand prix. hamilton trailed behind sebastian vettel who drove past his ferrari teammate charles leclerc in the first lap. but the german retired after 27 laps, which allowed hamilton to take the lead and power to victory. his mercedes teammate valtteri bottas finished second but

between him and some dog welsh defending wales we re and some dog welsh defending wales were able to hold on and secure a memorable victory that not only puts them in control of pool d but also marks them out as real contenders to win the whole world cup. the recently—crowned 100m world champion christian coleman has defended himself against criticism over three missed doping tests. the american blew away his rivals to win his first major title. after winning gold he said: "i have proved myself over the years to be a guy who does everything the right way." he clocked a time of 9.76 seconds, with fellow american justin gatlin claiming the silver medal. coleman was the pre—event favourite. canada's andre de grasse took bronze. great britain's zharnel hughes, finished sixth. this evening attention will turn to dina asher smith's bid to become world champion for the first time. the british record—holder eased through her heat in the 100 metres. no british woman has ever even qualified for the final at the worlds before. the men's elite road race is under way at the cycling world ch

wales have felt the weight of waiting. in the run—up to this world cup, assistant coach rob howley has been sent home. off the field, the tournament has not had an ideal start. on it, things seem more straightforward. in fact, jonathan davies did not even encounter a georgian tag on his way to scoring his first try, two minutes in. wales were fuelled by a pent—up energy which, when coupled with all 16 stone ofjustin tipuric, is hard to resist. many feel this could be wales‘ best chance to win a world cup and they began to motor in toyota. jet powered justin adams hurtled through georgia, three welsh tries in less than 20 minutes. they had the bonus point by half—time, liam williams says this has been the best rugby of his career. maybe it is just getting started. 29—0 at the break. georgia have hopes ofjoining the six nations in the future. when they get a chance, they make their case with force. somewhere in there was a mamukashvili, and somewhere in there, the ball was grounded for a try. they wrestled a second

wales get their rugby world cup campaign started on monday. they'll be without one of their assistant coaches — rob howley — who was sent home over a potential breach of betting rules wales won the 6 nations at the beginning of the year and despite injuries to some key players — are being talked about as potential winners. captain alun wynjones will equal gethinjenkins‘ wales cap record when he leads the side out against georgia in toyota. he deserves all the accolades, and the pleasing thing for me, the last couple of years, that recognition hasn't just been couple of years, that recognition hasn'tjust been wales, it's been worldwide as well. in terms of performances, leadership and captaincy. that's pleasing to see. england's danny willett won the pga championship by three shots after a five—under—par 67 on the final day at wentworth in england. (oov)willett began the day tied for the lead in england. willett began the day tied for the lead with spain's jon rahm, who shot 70 to finish second, with south africa's christiaan be—z

west wales has been called the capital of puppy farming, worth more than £12 million each year in wales alone, and which produces around 2a,000 puppies annually. but in a year—long investigation, we found appalling conditions in farm afterfarm, all council—approved businesses. dog lover danielle foley bought her new puppy, a beagle she called winston, from a licensed puppy farm in carmarthenshire after seeing him advertised online. she paid the breeder directly £650. but within days, winston had fallen seriously ill with parvovirus, a highly contagious disease that is often fatal. two o‘clock in the morning, the vet rang my mum and said his organs are shutting down and it‘s going to be a slow and painful death, so can they make it quick and easy for him? the breeder who sold danielle the puppy told us he maintained excellent standards, even though inspection reports found problems with waste, poor record—keeping and the presence of parvo at his farm, yet it was still given a licence by the council. vets are part of the welfare system too, yet according to senior vets we showe

gustier winds developing across wales and southern england. in the sunshine, temperatures as high as 19 or 20 celsius. somewhat cooler across scotland. here's our area of low pressure through this evening and overnight, pushing heavier rain across to england and wales. perhaps as far north as southern scotland and into parts of northern ireland. with that, some gusty winds, particularly across wales and southern england. those gusts touching 50 miles an hourfor a time. that rain slowly clearing away from northern england for tomorrow. still windy, though, and staying unsettled into the new week. bye bye. hello. this is bbc news. the headlines. downing street reacts angrily as borisjohnson is referred to the police watchdog over his links to an american businesswoman when he was mayor of london, calling it "a politically motivated attack". the labour leader, jeremy corbyn promises to replace the government's controversial welfare policy, universal credit, should they get into power. renewed pressure on the trump administration over its dealings

gone are the days that wales can arrive at the days that wales can arrive at the world cup and go under the radar. they are here as grand slam champions, they have been very consistent in the build—up to this one, and they are coming up against an australia side who are inconsistent but always seem to be able to raise their game for a world cup. they have won it twice, they have made the final twice. they very much heavyweights at this tournament. but as you say, you could make a case for either side. history would favour australia. they have this great record against wales, they have won 13 tests on the bounce, but that winning run came to an end in november when wales secured a narrow victory over them in cardiff. games between these two sides tend to be close affairs, may be decided by a late score here or there. so it is finally poised and it isa there. so it is finally poised and it is a massive game, because whoever wins this game has one foot in the quarterfinals —— michael —— finely poised. england going well in theirgroup, finely poised. england going well in their gr

attacks have rocketed from 5,800 in england, wales and northern ireland to more than 13,500. five years ago, 20% of these hate crimes resulted in a prosecution. overall, this has fallen to just 8%. and in west yorkshire, crimes have risen five—fold, with nearly 1,000 crimes recorded last year compared to under 200 five years ago. how much is west yorkshire police doing to support the lgbt community? we have a really good network of lgbtq officers who are well engaged. so we actually go out and promote and encourage people to report hate crime and hate incidents. collecting evidence can be difficult if it is just a report of somebody that has been name—calling. we need to learn all the time around how we investigate some of these reports. south yorkshire police say they have investigated lily's case, but no suspects were identified. lily says she won't give into hate. ben hunte, bbc news, sheffield. with driverless cars moving closer to being the future of our travel, insurers are beginning to voice their concerns. they're warning that there's a risk of more road accidents

wales a well—oiled machine. a third try followed before liam williams secured a bonus point with a flourish before half—time. georgia 29 points down at the break. georgia's strength is in their pack, but only in the second half did they show it, with a textbook drive to cut wales' lead. it proved to be no more than a consolation, as wales wrestled back control. warren gatland's side are up and running, a step closer to the prize they crave more than anything else. katy gornall, bbc news in toyota. all this week, the bbc‘s we are stoke—on—trent series is focusing on stories from there, hearing what matters to people in the city, and bringing those issues to a wider audience. the stories will be reported across television and radio and on digital. 0ur correspondent becky wood is there. becky. welcome to stoke—on—trent city centre, this is handling and this is where the bbc is facing it for the next five days. there's loads going on, this is a huge bbc project, we are stoke—on—trent and we want to h

wales won a3—1a. well, yesterday — ireland started their campaign with a comprehensive 27—3 win over scotland, while england beat tonga 35—3. earlier, we asked england and harlequins scrum half — danny care — what he thought of england's performance they got the win, the bonus point. it wasn't the best performance but is never going to be and if this game in the world cup. they are very tough tonga side who made it very difficult for them. i think they will be quietly happy they got the win, relatively unscathed and through to thursday when you face the usa. i think irish fans can be happy, they seem to have their mojo back, they look very physical. they scored some great tries. scotland, on the other hand, i think they have a bit of work to do, they just looked like they don't have much energy, lack some physicality. world cup and our team hasn't performed. they have three games to put it right, i wouldn't pass them to put it right and get to the quarterfinals. they can be to anybody on the

wales are the "nearly" men of the world cup. now would be the perfect time to prove they're the team for the big occasion. the usa's christian coleman has won the 100 metres at the world athletics championships in doha. he clocked a time of 9.76 seconds, with fellow american justin gatlin claiming the silver medal. coleman avoided a ban earlier this year for missing three doping tests. canada's andre de grasse took bronze, and great britain's only man in the final, zharnel hughes, finished sixth. those things happen, unfortunately. you just have to be strong—minded, and refocus and come again, and that's what i'm going to do. i'm disappointed, but hey, i can't give up on myself. i still have the 200m to go. dina asher—smith will bid to become world champion for the first time today. she eased through her heat in the 100 metres. no british woman has ever even qualified for the final at the worlds before. an average day — that's how jurgen klopp described his saturday, despite liverpool beating sheffield united to stay top o

wales we re dan who went off at half—time. wales were able to hold on and hang on to secure a memorable victory to mark them out as contenders to win the whole world cup. i am happy with the character we showed, particularly in the second half. at times it felt like an game, we were tentative in the first half but pleased with results. it is always easy to end a defending read which we potentially get in the second half. but credit to the guys in gold who came at us with everything in the second half. they really tested our resolve. lewis hamilton won the russian grand prix to inch ever closer to a sixth world title. ferrari‘s race unravelled after sebastien vettel disobeyed team orders, refusing to let team mate charles leclerc through. the german eventually retiring, with engine problems, as leclerc finished third after starting on pole.. nick parrot reports. it isa it is a victory lewis hamilton will savour because it was so unexpected. charles leclerc was at paul but his team—mate thought platt of the plan was to let v

this wales and more rain in the forecast, notjust today. this area of cloud you can see to the south—west will bring more wet weather and again to england and wales as we go through monday and tuesday. so we are not done with the risk of flooding just yet. latest radar pictures shows the main area of persistent rain across northern england. plenty of showers elsewhere, particularly across central and eastern parts of england, a few showers as well for the north and west of scotland, one or two the north and west of scotland, one ortwo in the north and west of scotland, one or two in northern ireland as well. u nsettled. or two in northern ireland as well. unsettled. temperatures for most of

but a warmer day for most of england and wales. east wales through the midlands and across towards the home counties, temperatures may get up to 25 degrees here. but the weather starts to change really overnight as though showers develop, and they could turn heavy and thundery. everything you can slowly pushing up from the southwest, and behind the showers we've got this band of more organised rain which could be quite heavy as well. that's moving northwards and eastward, so it should be clearing away from wales and the south west on sunday afternoon. turns a bit cooler and fresher here, northeastern parts of scotland may will have a dry day but ahead of this rain, temperatures could get as high as 22 or 23 in the north and east of england. that weather system is going to be pushing the rain northwards and generally out into the north sea by monday. we've got a window of drier weather before the next weather system comes in. and this area of low pressure is going to be dominant as we head into next week. never too far away, the wea

as you know, there was the high court of scotland, of england and wales, which said it was lawful, and then the high court in scotland who said no, it was not lawful. so it is 50-50, but said no, it was not lawful. so it is 50—50, but what you saw was 11 judges sitting. they don't usually set at this time of year, and you don't have 11 judges sitting. and this is what this times article is about, talking about borisjohnson, wanting the most seniorjudges, no jurisdiction over his decision to suspend parliament and they risk entering the political arena. they are well aware of that. if you are a judge, you have to be neutral. are well aware of that. if you are a judge, you have to be neutralm are well aware of that. if you are a judge, you have to be neutral. it is that balance of power, and this whole brexit drama has brought me to the conclusion that what we really need is a written constitution and a constitutional court, just to have clarity. because if we had a written constitution, these things would be clear. but because we have this amalgam of convention and laws... anachronism

justin tipuric with a second and wales a well oiled machine. a third try followed before liam williams secured the bonus point with a flourish before half—time. georgia 29 points down at the break. georgia's strength is in their pack but only in the second half did they show it with a textbook drive to cut wales' lead. it proved to be my no more than a consolation as wales wrestled back control. warren gatland's side are up and running, a step closer to the prize they crave more than anything else. katie gornall, bbc news, toyota. in cricket, jonny bairstow has been dropped from the test team for the england tour of new zealand this winter. jonny bairstow was poor with the bat during the ashes which led to speculation he might miss out. he averages 20.25 in test matches this year. warwickshire opener dominic sibley has been rewarded for his remarkable summer with a first england call—up. bairstow will be on a flight to new zealand, though, having been included in the t20 squad for the series starting at the beginning of november. squad for

in charge of wales on a positive note. so wales are in action in around an hour and a half from now — there's full commentary on radio 5 live. over the weekend we got to se the other home nations play their first match. on paper england's 35—3 win over tonga looks impressive but there's been some criticism over the performance. danny care. good morning, and thank you so much for your time, good morning, and thank you so much foryourtime, i good morning, and thank you so much for your time, i know you're so busy but tell me, what did you think of the performance? at the end of the day, they got the win, the bonus point, not the best performance but it's never going to be in the first game of the world cup, up against a very physical side from tonga who made it difficult for them but i think eddie will be quietly happy they got the win, got through relatively unscathed and they can move on thursday when they face the usa. at times eddie looked frustrated with his side, he's made a bit ofa frustrated with his side, he's m

more and wales, river flooding and coastalflooding. more rain to come on top of what we've hand and what has been a wet september. we've seen the rain come in from the south—west across south wales, very wet through this afternoon and we got heavy rain crossing wales, heading into the midlands, east anglia as well. lots of that will clear away but it will hang around across northern england, southern scotland and northern ireland. south of that era spells following the rain showers not far away. they will be quite mild. north of our band of rain, cold across northern parts of scotland. a fair bit of sunshine coming in across scotland, showers in the north. it should brighten up for the day across southern scotland and northern ireland as the rain peters out and it will become drier later on across the of england but for southern parts of england and wales, lots of heavy and thundery showers which could bring localised flooding. temperature is between those showers 18 degrees but colder aircoming down those showers 18 degrees but cold

a wales start with a victory, but many we re wales start with a victory, but many were saying they should have done. this is the thing, where a lot of teams are beating others by huge amounts, a high level of expectation, just like we saw with england and tonga yesterday. wales ran in a total of six tries as they covincingly beat georgia in their world cup opener. 43—14 the final score. and that result moves them top of their group just above australia on points difference. from tokyo, our correspondent katie gornall sent us this report. injapan, the in japan, the railways injapan, the railways are an institution. in wales, rugby is like a religion, and these fans making their pilgrimage to the world cup we re their pilgrimage to the world cup were letting the train take the strain. they arrived here, as they seem strain. they arrived here, as they seem to do at every tournament, bringing confidence and national pride. these wales fans have enjoyed a smoother journey here pride. these wales fans have enjoyed a smootherjourney here than their team. it has been a difficult build—up —â

that is where we start the day across england and wales with some sunny day across england and wales with some sunny spells but cloud amount is increasing for the rain across northern ireland and scotland. brighter skies following on behind. another windy day, not quite as windy as today. cool air behind the band of cloud and rain but ahead of thatis band of cloud and rain but ahead of that is where we have that warmth and humidity. this is friday and we are all back into some fresher air by this stage but some good spells of sunshine for most. some showers across the north west of scotland and also quite windy. but light wins elsewhere. contrast that with the weather they will be experiencing all week across the south—east of spain, relentless thunderstorms which could bring flash flooding. not great news for anyone headed for a late holiday here. but back at home high pressure in charge for most of us for the weekend and that means some spells of sunshine and warm weather as well. but fronting systems bringing some rain in the far north. a reminder of our top story... there are c

just some patchy rain for northern ireland, northern england and perhaps north wales too. either side of that, some drier weather with some sunshine but a real contrast in temperatures. just 14 celsius there in edinburgh, but down in london, 25 degrees, which will feel pretty warm i think through the day on sunday. heading on into the new working week, and that frontal system eases away towards the south and the east so most of us looking dry. higher pressure moving in from the atlantic. we've still got the tail end of that front bringing a bit of cloud across southern england and south wales early on monday. the chance of a few spots of light rain. but as that clears away, there will be more sunshine developing. again, a few showers in the north—west. but temperatures a little bit cooler. about 15 to 21 degrees on monday. and that slightly cooling trend continues through into tuesday as well because high pressure is going to be sitting out towards the west of the uk with the winds rotating around that. that means we've got a northerly or north—westerly flow there head
