The us secretary of state has blamed iranfor the us secretary of state has blamed iran for the drone strikes on two saudi oilfacilities, saying there is no evidence the attacks came from yemen. Mike pompeo accused iran of launching an unprecedented attack on the Worlds Energy supply. The Saudi Energy Minister said half the countrys Oil Production would be temporarily halted. Houthi rebels in yemen earlier said they had carried out the attacks. Audacious attacks on the heart of saudi arabias economy. The Abqaiq Oil Processing Plant one of the Worlds Largest engulfed in flames, attacked by drones. The kingdoms second largest oilfield, khurais, also hit. The smoke visible from space, caught by a nasa satellite. Yemens Houthi Rebels are celebrating. Translation this Mission Comes as part of our legitimate and natural right to react to the crimes of the aggression and its continuous blockade on our country for the past five years. Aramco, owned by the saudi state, is one of the Worlds Biggest Oil companies. Khurais produces around i of the worlds oil. And abqaiq is capable of processing 7 of global supply. Some reports say half the kingdoms Oil Production will be affected. This could Impact Oil Prices in the coming days. In recent months, houthis have carried out a series of strikes on saudi arabias oil facilities, using missiles and drones, but the latest attacks are among their most destructive. This is embarrassing for saudi arabia. In this hugely uneven conflict, the houthis have once again demonstrated their ability to cause damage and fear in a war that shows no sign of ending. Jason bought off is founding director of the cintron Global Energy policy at columbia university, and former White House Energy adviser to president obama. I asked him of the significance of the amount of oil supply being taken out of the market. It is a hugely consequential disruption. 5, nearly 6 Million Barrels a day of oil supply thats a huge loss to the Global Market. The key, really, is how long this will persist, and we dont know exactly the answer to that. But the more information we get suggests that it may not be days, it may be weeks or even longer. That would be a huge shock to the global oil market, it would certainly mean higher oil prices. And it would probably mean countries tap their Strategic Oil stocks, and even that probably wont be enough. How different do you think, though, the uss response is at the moment, given that it is no longer a Net Oil Importer . I think the rhetoric from the us has suggested that would be the case, but if Global Oil Prices spike, consumers in the United States, as in every other country, are about to be reminded that it doesnt matter how much oil you import, oil prices are set in a Global Market and pump prices are set in a Global Market, and so the fact that we are about on the verge of being a net zero oil importer, which is a huge turnaround, doesnt change the fact that Consumer Prices at the pump are going to spike, and thats going to have political repercussions and thats going to mean that countries want to do something to bring those Consumer Prices down. And, of course, thats the last thing President Trump is going to want, right . Well, its the last thing that President Trump wants. Obviously, we know from his twitter account and other statements that he definitely prefers Lower Oil Prices to higher oil prices. At the same time, he also is pursuing a strategy of maximum pressure on iran, and part of the reason for this this spike in oil prices is that we have pulled iranian supply off the market, and the potentialfor this kind of we dont quite yet know who was behind it, whether it is houthi proxies or iran directly, but the potential for this to escalate into broader regional conflict pushes oil prices up yet further, is something markets and consumers are going to need to consider as well. Yes, because its going to have implications, isnt it, on iranian Oil Sanctions . It may have implications. I mean, again, on the one hand, if this is a if this supply disruption persists, you want those iranians barrels to come back to the market to help offset that supply loss. But i think weve seen from this president and secretary of state pompeo, who said today that there should be iran will be held accountable for this aggression, that the goal of maximum pressure may even outweigh the goal of Lower Oil Prices for the United States. How much do you think Something Like this underlines global overreliance on a particular plant . How much does this tell us on the oil market and the way it works . Well, its a hundred million barrel a day market, thats a lot of oil. But we should remember that small changes really can matter a lot, and saudi is one of now with the United States and russia, larger suppliers to the market this is probably the most Important Oil facility in the world, and even though 5 Million Barrels a day may not sound like a lot in a market with 100 Million Barrels a day, changes of just i, 2, 3 Million Barrels a day can cause a huge move in the price, and were operating in a market now with much less spare capacity, so the countries, mostly saudi arabia that hold a little bit of oil backjust in case the Global Market needs it in the event of a disruption one important question here is whether the damage to the abqaiq facility is going to limit the ability for saudi to bring some of those other supplies back, because, of course, theyve cut production with the recent opec agreement if the disruption were anywhere else, saudi could bring some of that supply back, but its a question about whether they can do that with their own disruption. Hamza bin laden, the son of a summer bin laden, has been killed in a us counterterrorism operation. He was reported dead at the end ofjuly, but the white house has just confirmed the information. David willis reports. The white house hasnt released details of the operation that brought about the death of hamza bin laden or its timing. There have been various reports here in recent months suggesting that he had been killed, but this is the first time President Trump has confirmed the news. The son of the man who masterminded the september 11 terrorist attacks, hamza bin laden, had called for further attacks on the United States to avenge his fathers killing. And earlier this year, the Us State Department offered a Million Dollar reward for information leading to his capture. President trump, in a brief statement, said that as well as the symbolic connection to his father, the loss of hamza bin laden deprived alqaeda of important leadership skills and undermined the operational activities of the group.

Forensic scientists in the mexican state of jalisco say they have managed to identify 44 bodies found ina managed to identify 44 bodies found in a well outside the city of guadalajara. The remains were discovered in Early September after locals complained of a bad smell. Mexican police have given no details about the victims. Candice piette is the bbc World Services americas editor. Jalisco, where this is taking place, is one of the most violent states in mexico. Two very big and dangerous cartels are at war with each other there. So the size of this mass grave thats been seen has really shocked people all over mexico and its reminded people of the case of the 43 students who were killed a few years ago and the kind of activism that started around that case since then. But its also shown how violent the war injalisco has become. And also, the tragedy of the vast amount of people in mexico who have disappeared and who have been killed, and the lack of interest infinding them from the authorities. So what are the challenges that mexico now faces . Well, mexico has a very good law around the disappearances, and really, if it manages to implement this, this is really going to make all the difference. It includes creating a National Database that doesnt exist, there is no database of dna samples from these bodies. There are 26,000 bodies in morgues waiting to be identified, and they say some 37,000 people have disappeared. Thats the latest figures, in the last decade or so. So creating this National Search commission is Something Else that is on the cards, and special legal units to deal with this very specialist part of the law. Now, the problem with this is that it requires the president to put money there and to do this. And also to overcome the resistance of, for example, the military, who dont want to be investigated for their crimes, and also the power of the cartels, which makes it very dangerous to investigate this kind of thing.

Gareth thomas, the welsh rugby star has revealed he is hiv positive in the first british sportsman to speak publicly about living with the virus to the former british captain said he hoped it would help to break the stigma around the condition. The reason i am doing this is because, firstly, i want. Reason i am doing this is because, firstly, iwant. I reason i am doing this is because, firstly, i want. I want to remember what it was like to live again. Iwant remember what it was like to live again. I want to remember what it was like to feel free. And by doing that, i want. Was like to feel free. And by doing that, iwant. I was like to feel free. And by doing that, i want. I want to empower so many other people who are in exactly the same position as me. And probably ten times worse. To be able to feel free as well. Earlier i spoke to mark s king who is in hiv aids advocate who has written extensively about living with hiv since being diagnosed himself in 1985. It is difficult to watch that and difficult to see somebody newly diagnosed with clearly in pain and is clearly feeling the weight of hiv stigma. You know, i say that even as medical science has improved and those of us living with hiv can now live a normal lifespan, certainly someone who is newly diagnosed today can and probably will. That does not mean the social stigma has not left us. In many ways it is greater. Gareth, in all of his pain, we know that he was feeling forced to make this very personal information public because other people wanted to exploit him. And that is very common. Those of us living with hiv are often perceived as having something inherently wrong with us, as being untrustworthy or promiscuous. And so all of these questions swirl around us at all times about our value as human beings. That is what i see when i look at that video and it is difficult to watch. He says he wants to support People Living with hiv and, gosh, ijust want to tell him as the millions of People Living with hiv are supporting him right now at a time when i believe he needs it. It is so important, isnt it, that someone like him who is famous and well known, who is a big sports star in this country can talk about hiv so openly. Yes. You have two competing things here. You have this man known for his physicality, for his health and he represents, of course now, the physicality of all of us living with hiv in the health we can achieve and then you also have the extreme vulnerability because he is face to face with hiv stigma and he is afraid of what may happen. Your story is very interesting because you tested positive with hiv back in 1985. How have things changed, do you think, from then to now and talk me through exactly, you know, where you were in your life when you were diagnosed. I was 24 years old. It was march 1985. The hiv test, the virus had just been identified and the test had only been released two weeks earlier. I took it. I did because i wanted to know if i might be dead in a couple of years. I lived in West Hollywood california, an epicentre of the epidemic and it was starting to creep into my social circle. So within really only a few years i was living in a graveyard so to test positive during that time certainly meant facing a death sentence. There is no doubt about it. And i have no reason to believe that i would not be one of those people within a couple of years. I lived life in two year increments and that is very different from the life of someone diagnosed today. We still have had a generation of mortality and ignorance about hiv. And so that will be difficult to overcome. That is why i see the fear. Gareth talks about having considered suicide and all of this and how long he had to live when he was diagnosed, which tells us that even amongst those of us who may be at risk, even within the gay community, many of us are not well versed on what it means to live with hiv today. The main message i would like to share is that gareth already is on a successful treatment and he has rendered his virus undetectable in his body. What we know is that those who have an undetectable viral load, as do i, we are incapable of transmitting the virus to someone else. So i can protect my partner. And yet, sorry to interrupt you, and yet, unbelievably, a survey showed that a quarter of the people in the us still think you can catch hiv by, you know, in ways like drinking water. Drinking water. Public bathroom, a pool. I try to be philosophical about this because i have been trying to educate people throughout my life it again we must remember that every day someone comes of age. Someone is having sex for the first time and someone is entering life. And does not have this information. And needs to be taught. We need to systematically teach people what it means to live with hiv and how it is and is not transmitted. And you look at someone like gareth, well educated man of great accomplishment and yet he was afraid when he tested positive because he did not know what it meant. And for those of us fortunate enough to have access to successful treatment and many of us here in the United States do not, we have every possibility of living a normal lifespan. Certainly Gareth Thomas does. That was mark s king talking to me earlier. The funeral of Chester Williams has taken place in south africa. He was the only non white member of the team that won the 1995 Rugby World Cup a moment that symbolised the countrys return to international sport. He died earlier this month at the age of 49.

We gained an angel and i know you will be looking down on me and keeping us all safe. Chester williams made 27 test appearances for the springboks, scoring 14 tries in his international career. He was part of the team that won the world cup only a year after the end of apartheid history for his sport and his country. He is a pioneer, really, and a lot of kids, black kids and coloured kids will look up to chester as a trailblazer, a person that used all his skills to the utmost and made us so proud. After the service, his casket was taken away for a private cremation. Chester williams was more than just a rugby player. As one former team mate said, he was an icon and a symbol of hope.

A toilet made of solid gold and said to be worth more than 6 million, has been stolen from an Art Exhibition at a stately home in southern england. Police have arrested a man in connection with the theft from blenheim palace, the former home of winston churchill, but theres no sign of the loo so far. Sarah campbell has the details. Its called america, and when on display in new yorks guggenheim museum, more than 100,000 people experienced this fully functioning artwork. Relocated to one of britains most famous stately homes, blenheim palace, visitors were to be allowed to spend three minutes alone with the toilet doing whatever came naturally. The exhibit itself was designed to be a reflection on the American Dream and the idea of something ordinarily unattainable in fact potentially being there in a way that you could touch. The choice of the toilet was designed to make that physical. Butjust two days after going on display, the toilet was stolen, causing significant flood damage to the palace. We believe they used at least two vehicles during the offence and they left the scene at around 4 50am. A 66 year old man has been arrested in connection with this incident and he is currently in police custody. Blenheim palace say they are relieved no one was hurt and are urging anyone with information to contact the police. Sarah campbell, bbc news.

So, latest thoughts on how sunday is going to shape up right across the British Isles. Quite a variety of weather on offer and then we will take a look at the next few days after that. Sunday starting off really very windy again after a wild night across the north and north east of scotland. Some Storm Force Winds there. Weather front producing a fair amount of cloud and some rain for northern ireland, the western and southern parts of scotland in the first part of the day. Eventually that rain just moving a little bit further south, getting into the north of england, maybe into the far north west of wales. Thankfully, by this stage, clearer skies getting into scotland and the wind much reduced during the course of the afternoon. Very best of the sunshine across the south eastern quarter of the British Isles, temperatures responding accordingly. Further west through wales and the south west of england, i think therell be more in the way of cloud, and that may well be reinforced as we get on through the evening and overnight, so the remnants of that weather front Still Producing the odd bit and piece of rain will gradually ease its way into the southern half of the British Isles producing quite a mild night here, but further north, underneath the clear skies, you will end up with quite a chilly do, 4, 5 degrees, something of that order. Over the next few days, the week ahead, largely dry across the British Isles. Some pretty chilly nights to come. But there will be some rain across the far north of the British Isles. Monday, as i say, starts off on a relatively mild note across the south, but those colours beginning to drain away. Something a little bit fresherjust trying to dominate across all parts. Monday, as i say, the remnants of that weather front taking the last of the relatively mild airs away to the near continent. Following on behind, the very best of the sunshine will be found across the northern half of the British Isles, a pretty pleasant day. Not too much in the way of wind. A high on the day of about 21 degrees. As the last of that frontal cloud slips away and the High Pressure builds in, so tuesday will start on a pretty chilly note with clear skies, a lot of sunshine around. I think you will lose that somewhat as a frontal system just shows its hand towards northern ireland, the western side of scotland. Quite a noticeable north westerly breeze at this stage, so the temperatures struggling across the north east of scotland. 20 still to be had across the south. As we start the new day on wednesday, High Pressure centred towards the southern half of the British Isles, and it allows this weather front to roll around its northern flank, producing more cloud for the northern half of the British Isles and there will be some bits and pieces of rain coming in across the north of scotland on its way to the Northern Isles and, again, top temperature 00 28 40,878 2147483051 51 05,153 on the day around 2147483051 51 05,153 4294966103 13 29,430 about 21 in the sun
