as the the proteas slumped to 2a—4. david miller made his first one—day century in 5 years but south africa were all out for 212. australia have lost wickets but they are still on top of the run—rate, 174—5 after 32 overs. travis head made 62. smith and inglis at the chris. it looks like they will reach the final. novak dojokovic is in action at the atp tour finals in turin against hubert hurkacz and it has gone to a decider. the permutations are really complicated. even if the world number one wins he might not reach the semi—finals, and he could lose and still make the last four, and it all rests on the holge rune and jannick sinner match later.

novak djokovic is being pushed all the way in that final group game there in children. -- in turin. the france rugby union captain antoine dupont is expected to miss next years six nation's championship to concentrate on sevens rugby ahead of the olympics. dupont is one of the world's best scrum—halves but has spoken about his desire to take part in his home olympics with the games taking place in paris next year. an announcemnt is expected later that he willjoin up with the sevens squad in the new year to take part in that global series, which would rule him out of the six nations. formula one is gearing up for the first grand prix in las vegas for 41 years. the famous strip has been resurfaced for the race on saturday. with a iopm start the cool desert temperatures are giving teams some technical challenges. world champion max verstappen has decribed the event as 99% show, i% sporting event. but mercedes team boss toto wolff is more positive.

entertainment follows if you provide great racing prior to regulations it is also going to be entertaining. being able to do this in the middle of las vegas, on the strip, was unthinkable many years ago. i think that hopefully we will become a fixture among the big events that happen every year in las vegas and we provide great racing. there are nine euro qualifiers coming up later on thursday. hungary kick off in bulgaria the next 90 minutes — they lead group g with 14 points after six matches, and will qualify for next summer's tournament in germany with a game to spare with a draw, or if montenegro drop points against lithuania. austria have already qualified, but will look for a win in estonia that will give them a chance of finishing top of group f. scotland have already qualified, and have taken a second string to georgia. there will be some squads like this one where you have a number of

players missing. there is a chance for someone else, i always say it is a chance for someone else. if everyone else can do better it makes my selection more difficult going into next year. the selection will be difficult for me. i have to find the right 23 for next summer. for more on these and other sports stories go to the bbc sport website. we've had the first round of the dp world tour in dubai. three—way tie for the lead. nicolai hojgaard, matthieu pavon, julien guerrier all on 5 under. you can keep on top of the cricket. there has been another wicket. australia 174—6. 50 there has been another wicket. australia 174-6.— there has been another wicket. australia 174-6. so going well but the miaht australia 174-6. so going well but they might get — australia 174-6. so going well but they might get a _ australia 174-6. so going well but they might get a bit _ australia 174-6. so going well but they might get a bit nervy - australia 174-6. so going well but they might get a bit nervy as - australia 174-6. so going well but they might get a bit nervy as theyi they might get a bit nervy as they chase 2i3 they might get a bit nervy as they chase 213 to reach the world cup final. that is all the sport for now.

a former top us political aide says he's observed a "recalibration" over the last few weeks in the way the biden administration is approaching its ally israel. ben rhodes, who was deputy national security adviser under president obama, suggested the current administration had hoped it could have an impact on the israeli military operation by "embracing" the country's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu. but he said this had not been borne out. mr rhodes noted that the us had asked for more humanitarian pauses but israel had "largely ignored that advice". let's speak now to douglas silliman, a former us ambassador to iraq and kuwait. he's now president of the arab gulf states institute in washington — a think tank covering the social, economic and political diversity of the region. thank you for being with us. what is your assessment of president biden�*s approach to israel, to this conflict, over the past six weeks? do you see a shift? i conflict, over the past six weeks? do you see a shift?— conflict, over the past six weeks? do you see a shift? i think what ben rhodes said — do you see a shift? i think what ben rhodes said is _ do you see a shift? i think what ben rhodes said is largely _ do you see a shift? i think what ben rhodes said is largely correct. - rhodes said is largely correct. president biden has historically been pro israel in his approach. i believe that many in his administration thought that a strong american embrace of israel would provide greater influence on israeli

policy and hopefully reduce the civilian suffering that might take place in an israeli assault. i think the biden administration are still working on these areas but you can see in a series of public statements they have made over the past couple weeks, they are looking more, putting more emphasis on humanitarian pauses. they are looking and working directly with qatar, with israel and egypt, to try to find a way to negotiate the release of both israeli hostages held by hamas and also palestinian prisoners held by israel. i think ben rhodes overstated the case, but the biden administration, in its public face, has become a little bit less pro israel in the last couple of weeks. we less pro israel in the last couple of weeks. ~ ., less pro israel in the last couple of weeks. ~ . , ,, of weeks. we have seen the us secretary _ of weeks. we have seen the us secretary of — of weeks. we have seen the us secretary of state _ of weeks. we have seen the us secretary of state of _ of weeks. we have seen the us secretary of state of several. of weeks. we have seen the us i secretary of state of several visits to israel also meet neighbouring countries, representatives from neighbouring countries, and from gulf states. we heard from the us talk aboutjordan is a critical ally, says its role is essential. just explain to us the importance of

those neighbouring countries to israel and the gulf states, as far as this conflict goes right now, and bringing it to some kind of conclusion in the near term? it is important — conclusion in the near term? it is important to _ conclusion in the near term? it is important to realise _ conclusion in the near term? it 3 important to realise that public reaction in the middle east to the war in gaza is significantly different in the middle east than in the united states, europe, or the west in general. generally they see blame on the israeli side only and place a lot of blame and the united states and great britain, germany and other european countries that have been strong supporters of israel throughout this. in that context you have seen in the past week saudi arabia hosting an arab league islamic summit which has essentially condemned israel, called for a ceasefire and called for an international investigation of israeli actions. but at the same time some members of that summit had called for a complete break of all arab relations with israel, both diplomatically and economically. that point did not move forward.

this leaves me to believe that list there are a number of arab states that wish to continue working with israel in the future, both with relations like egypt, jordan, bahrain and the uae, but those like saudi arabia, that are looking to find a different relationship with israel in the future. they are trying to balance their public diplomacy how they'll do with their popular attitudes and how they might preserve some sort of relationship in the region, including with israel, going forward.- in the region, including with israel, going forward. there was much analysis _ israel, going forward. there was much analysis when _ israel, going forward. there was much analysis when these - israel, going forward. there was l much analysis when these october israel, going forward. there was - much analysis when these october the 7th hamas attacks happened, that speculation at least that iran might very much be behind it, iran a key supporter of hamas, and a part of that speculation was they wanted to derail a possible accord that saudi arabia may have been about to sign with israel. there has been much work towards that, normalising relations. i work towards that, normalising relations. ., ., ., relations. i would say that iran bears a lot _

relations. i would say that iran bears a lot of _ relations. i would say that iran bears a lot of responsibility - relations. i would say that iran bears a lot of responsibility for providing the basic infrastructure, the weapons, the training and the funding to hamas, to islamicjihad, and two other iranians affiliated organisations that you have seen using military force in the past few weeks. however i think most of these forces are often called proxy forces of iran, have a lot of autonomy from their iranian masters. you can see, for example, hezbollah in lebanon has chosen not to get involved in the same way, in the to the same degree that hamas was from gaza. i think that iran bears responsibility for preparing these groups but would not look at what has happened in gazais not look at what has happened in gaza is an iranians arrived plan, rather an attempt by hamas to change the public attitude in the world, in israel, and among palestinians. towards israel. they were afraid that palestine was going to be

forgotten, as more and more arab countries chose to start relations with israel. we countries chose to start relations with israel-_ countries chose to start relations with israel. we have been talking about the hostages, _ with israel. we have been talking about the hostages, 240 - with israel. we have been talking about the hostages, 240 seized l with israel. we have been talking | about the hostages, 240 seized by hamas and taken into gaza. plans, more speculation, that there may be a deal in the offing for some of those, possibly up to 50 being freed, but we have heard speculation is many times over the past few weeks that hasn't come to pass. tell us about qatar's role here. qatar hosts hamas's political leadership and is a key player now in these hostage negotiations, isn't it? qatar has both a sensitive relationship. it hosts the political leadership of hamas, as you noted. it also has long—standing relations at the diplomatic level with israel. it has worked with israel in the past to try to provide support for gaza in particular, and has been a conduit to the leadership of hamas for israel, for many years. it has

been clearfor for israel, for many years. it has been clear for several weeks that hamas, working directly with the united states, and with egypt as well, has tried to mediate a release of israeli hostages, mostly as you have seen in the press, in exchange for a similar have seen in the press, in exchange fora similar number of have seen in the press, in exchange for a similar number of palestinians held in israel. i think they are focusing now somewhere near 50, women and children, not military aged males. macon is also insistent on a three day or longer ceasefire to make the transfer. kata has had an important role to play and while there are political problems with qatar having relations both with israel and hamas, this is a time where diplomacy may be able to have one of the first d escalating steps in this more than a month long war. former ambassador, thank you for joining us from washington. around

streets, either outside the socialist party headquarters over the last couple of weeks, or today outside congress, to protest against the amulet stay and essentially say that this new government which has formed is not legitimate. fine that this new government which has formed is not legitimate.— formed is not legitimate. five or so ears a . o formed is not legitimate. five or so years ago there _ formed is not legitimate. five or so years ago there were _ formed is not legitimate. five or so years ago there were some - formed is not legitimate. five or so years ago there were some really i years ago there were some really huge processes in the country that brought it to a halt almost, didn't they? a few people were put in jail of those leaders. just explain who might be given amnesty under this deal, how quickly? it is might be given amnesty under this deal, how quickly?— deal, how quickly? it is a very broad amnesty. _ deal, how quickly? it is a very broad amnesty. a _ deal, how quickly? it is a very broad amnesty. a lot - deal, how quickly? it is a very broad amnesty. a lot of - deal, how quickly? it is a very broad amnesty. a lot of the l deal, how quickly? it is a very - broad amnesty. a lot of the people who will be affected will be people who will be affected will be people who were involved in that 2017 breakaway attempt that you mentioned. for example heads of schools who allowed their schools to be used for the referendum that was held back in 2017 in catalonia, against the wishes of the courts. but also for example, the former

catalan president to lead that breakaway attempt and then fled to belgium where he has been ever since. he will benefit from this amnesty. they will several others who fled abroad. those are some of the people who could benefit from this. we don't know exactly when the law will come into effect. it needs to go through congress first, which is expected to be approved, and then it has to go through the senates and thenjudges have it has to go through the senates and then judges have to it has to go through the senates and thenjudges have to introduce it case by case we have been told is that it should be introduced or implemented sometime next year. the guesses that possibly in the spring, but it could face quite a bumpy ride in terms of legal appeals against it. , , ., ~ in terms of legal appeals against it. _ ., in terms of legal appeals against it. guy, thank you for the update from madrid. _ britain's new home secretary, james cleverly, has insisted that the government is keeping to its original time scale to send some asylum seekers to rwanda — despite wednesday's supreme court ruling that the policy is unlawful. he said ministers were working to ensure flights take off

in my statement issued last friday i made no reference to the use of data by my family. as a parent i wanted to protect my family from being part... from being part of the political and media scrutiny associated with this, something i believe any parent would want to do. i am a father first and foremost. i can see now that it is just not possible to explain the data usage without explaining their role. the simple truth is they were watching football matches. on tuesday i told the first minister that members of my family had made use of the ipad data and yesterday evening i provided him with a full account of the matter and my intention to inform parliament. disclosing this information about my family has been

extremely difficult. mistakes have been made by me and by my family. in the way in which i have handled this. i should have sorted the sim card, i should have investigated what happened more thoroughly. i accept that, take responsibility and apologise unreservedly. the scottish health secretary there. the moon has been a source of inspiration for artists of all kinds, for generations. and hollywood a—lister tom hanks is the latest to be inspired. the actor, whose scores of film roles include apollo 13, says he's always loved everything to do with space. so now he's part of the team behind the moonwalkers, an exhibition that will give audiences a sense of what it's like to journey to the moon. he's been talking to our entertainment correspondent, david sillito. hey, tom! david! what a pleasure. nice to see you. this is amazing. you're taking me somewhere? yes, yes. it's only, it's only a small step, but it's also a giant leap at the same time. lead me.

a spirit of adventure about you now. you know when someone asks if you fancy going on a journey to the moon with tom hanks? you say, "yes". that's quite... rocket motors. ..an experience. you would think that that thing would shoot up. we shouldn't be standing here, should we? no, we should not. it's going to get a little hot, but that's ok. but don't worry. that's ice that is falling down. oh, that's what that is. that's the moisture from the super cold liquid hydrogen fuel tanks. tom, as you can probably tell, really knows his space. it's been a passion from childhood and this is his show, an astronaut�*s eye—view of what it was like to be on an apollo mission. and it all began when tom first saw this space being used for a david hockney show, and he had an idea. i probably actually asked a question. i said, if we could walk into this painting, could we actually walk on the moon as well? so that's when you had the idea, you walked in and you thought, "this could be the moon."

you could put people on the moon in a way that has never, ever, ever, ever been done. but this isn'tjust history. it's also a fanfare for what's about to happen. good morning. good afternoon. what is it exactly up there now? tom has been working with nasa, meeting the astronauts for the next moon mission, which is due to take off next year. but there is a question. this, going into space, it's an indulgence. there are so many other things we could be spending our money on, so many more important things in life. uh—hmm. is it still important? what does it do for an individual? you could argue that maybe not much. but what does it do for the cause of humanity? something magnificent. it takes us to this next place. there's going to come a time when someone is going to live permanently on places like the moon or in space. and we will become interplanetary beings. and isn't that what we're supposed to do as human beings? we're always supposed to... is it? we're always supposed to get out of the cave

to see what is there. and we have never not found something magnificent as well as a magnification of ourselves. what do you want people to take away from this? awe. wonder. that's it. and at the end, a chance to really look at the main attraction, wouldn't you like to take a cruise in the sea of crises, wouldn't you like to go visit the ocean? i have... i have sailed the sea of crises many times. we all have. we all have, haven't we? yeah. when you get up just a little bit closer, it's quite stunning, that magnificent desolation. and that's what it is. david sillito, bbc news. tom hanks they're explaining about the wonders of the moon. stay with us here on bbc news. i will be back shortly with all of the day's top stories.

hello. last night was the coldest night of the autumn so far. in northern scotland temperatures dropped below minus seven celsius, with some fog patches, too. but that is where we've seen some of the best of the sunshine today. whereas further south, this hook of cloud, which was named storm frederico by the french weather service, has brought some rain and some brisk winds in the far south of england and the channel islands. that is now clearing away south—eastwards. we do have this frontal system pushing in from the west, some outbreaks of rain with that. but actually quite a lot of dry weather as we end the afternoon and head into the evening. and then overnight, this band of cloud and rain will make some further progress eastwards. some showers following on behind. in the north east of scotland, if we hold on to clear skies once again, we will see some fog patches developing. temperatures again dropping well below freezing. and actually it is going to be a chilly night for many of us. a chilly start to friday morning. friday is going to be a quieter day. still a few residual weather fronts in the mix to start the day. but broadly speaking, this brief and quite weak ridge of high pressure will be just about in charge. so, yes, a bit of cloud to start

off in eastern parts, a few showers out towards the west, but a decent amount of dry weather, some spells of sunshine, the winds relatively light. temperatures north to south, 6 to 13 degrees. and then a band of cloud and rain pushing into the south west of england later in the day. that rain will make some progress northwards and eastwards across the south west of england, wales, northern ireland. some other western parts turning wet as we head deeper into the evening and as we get into the start of the weekend, well, this frontal system drives eastwards. outbreaks of rain with that, low pressure firmly in charge for the weekend. but with south westerly winds, it is going to be mild. with that, though, we'll see quite a lot of rain, wet weather for many of us to start saturday morning. and even as the main rain band clears, we will see a mix of sunny spells and hefty, blustery, perhaps thundery showers. some strong winds — strongest winds likely to be in northern and northeastern parts. we could see gales in places and temperatures for most of us in double digits. in fact, cardiff and plymouth could get to 16 degrees,

very mild for the time of year. into sunday further showers or longer spells of rain, the strongest winds this time across western and south western parts. there will be some spells of sunshine and still mild, just about all of us up into double digits.
