Quite a mixture of whether this weekend. Today looks like Western Areas will see the thickest cloud and rain. There the east should be brighter. Tomorrow is a reverse of fortunes. All the details later on. Its saturday, 5th october. Our top story the duke of sussex has launched a legal battle against the tabloid press, taking action against the owners of the sun, the now defunct news of the world, and the daily mirror, in relation to alleged phone hacking. Its not yet clear when prince harrys allegations date from, but in a phone hacking trial in 2011 he was named, along with prince william, as a victim. His move follows the announcement that his wife meghan is taking separate legal action against the mail on sunday. Ben ando has more. The end of another high profile tour fulfilling their royal duties, meeting and greeting, but amid ever frostier relations between the prince and the press. Now, harry is suing the publishers of two tabloid newspapers, the sun and the mirror, over allegations his mobile phone was hacked, its thought, in the early 20005. The phone hacking scandal led to the closure of the mighty news of the world newspaper in 2011. And, during a trial that year, princes harry, william and kate middleton, now the duchess of cambridge, were named as victims. But why is the prince suing now . Royals rarely reach for a lawyer or a writ, and the reason is that its such a high Risk Strategy. They can be cross examined, they can also have disclosure go to places that they dont really want. So it is a very high Risk Strategy, the things that are outside their control, but its also a high Risk Strategy for the editors who are going to have to give evidence too. There are strong suggestions that in taking this action, harry is ignoring the advice of palace officials. But ever since he refused to take part in the traditional newborn baby photocall when his son archie was born in may, its been clear that the duke of sussex is ready to challenge expectations of how much or how little privacy members of the royal family can expect. On tuesday in south africa, the duke accused britains tabloids of a Ruthless Campaign against his wife meghan, and she started Legal Proceedings against the mail on sunday, claiming it unlawfully published a private letter. It seems the sussexes believe only the courts can give them the privacy they feel theyre entitled to. Ben ando, bbc news. Speaking in the last hour on breakfast, former editor of the daily mirror roy greenslade, said prince harrys decision to take legal action was a declaration of war on the media. That kind of outburst that we saw earlier this week was not just suddenly a one off, but obviously a campaign, a full frontal assault on the tabloid newspapers. It is a declaration of war, in effect, which several papers have carried the story today, not, i notice, the sun and mirror but other papers have covered the story, saying much the same thing. They see this in the context of the prince really saying, enough is enough, im going for the tabloids. Thousands have taken part in unplanned protests in hong kong, after the territorys government announced a face mask ban. It comes after an escalation of violence during protests on tuesday, when an officer shot a demonstrator. 0ur china correspondent robin brant is there for us now. What can you tell us, robin . Give us a sense of what might happen today and how it feels on the streets where you are. Well, it definitely feels, this morning. There was a small gathering outside this Department Store about an hour ago. Around 300 people, most of them wearing face masks. Some were shouting that they have the right to wear those face masks. They moved peacefully down the road. This is an area known for its shopping on the west of hong kong island. That is the beginning of a small protest here, but it does seem pretty quiet here, but it does seem pretty quiet here today. Most of the people are shopping, and that is what they are doing as they come and go in this area. Ithink doing as they come and go in this area. I think the reason that things area. I think the reason that things are calmer today, certainly compared to last night, is because the metro system remains closed. Services of light rail, underground railand buses were suspended yesterday, the first time this has happened since the protest. If you come down to this area of hong kong this afternoon, there are grills over metro stations, and that station actually shows the scars of some fire attacks in recent days. The move by the authorities to shut down the metro has been effective because it is harderfor the metro has been effective because it is harder for people to get around, and harder for it is harder for people to get around, and harderfor protesters to get to places they want to get to. Here, businesses have yet again taken preventative here, businesses have yet again ta ken preventative measures. Here, businesses have yet again taken preventative measures. Some are closed. The bank of china just down there, it is a prominent symbol of Mainland China s influence here, they are closing all of their branches today, apart from one. They dont want to take any risks. We saw the incident last night, i think it isa the incident last night, i think it is a real example of the microcosm that we have here, in terms of the tension between protesters and police. The policeman used his pistol in self defence when he was dragged from his car and someone was shotin dragged from his car and someone was shot in the leg. It is an unpleasant feeling between some on both sides here. Thank you.

Senior democrats in the us are demanding the white house hands over documents for their investigation into president trump. Mr trump is accused of pressuring ukraine to investigate his political rival joe biden, which he denies. Heres our washington correspondent, chris buckler. Democrats in the congress had been asking the white house for these documents. Now, by issuing the subpoena they are demanding them. And this is all intended to put pressure on the president. Among the things they want to see is a full rather than a rough transcript, of exactly what donald trump said to his ukrainian counterpart, volodymyr zelensky, back injuly. You might remember that controversially, on that call, mr trump asked president zelensky to launch an investigation into his political rival and potential president ial candidate joe biden. Democrats also want to find any documents that suggest people in the white house were discussing the possibility of suspending Security Assistance to ukraine. There had been suggestions that the president might have been looking at that something he can use as a bargaining chip with ukraine. Theyve also asked for a letter from the chairman of the congressional committees looking into impeachment and in them they say they have been stonewalled by the white house and accuse the president of choosing a path of defiance, obstruction and cover up. These were strong words and there has been a strong response from the white house, in which they say this is nothing mr trump is accused of pressuring ukraine to investigate his political rival joe biden, which he denies.

Ok, lets do a timed check there are fresh calls for a change in the law on assisted dying, from the family of an 80 year old woman who has been cleared of killing her terminally ill husband. Mavis eccleston and her husband dennis were both found unconscious at their home in staffordshire after taking an overdose. Mavis recovered, but was later charged with murder. John maguire has been to speaking to their daughterjoy. Married for 60 years, their intention was to die as they have lived, together. 18 months ago, Dennis Eccleston was suffering with terminal bowel cancer. He just wanted to end his life without any pain and go without any treatment. So his wife mavis gave him an overdose of prescription medicine before taking one herself. Both were found unconscious at their bungalow in staffordshire. But after hospital treatment, mavis survived. She was then charged with her husbands murder. That word murder that doesnt live in our lives. You know, were normal people and when you hear that someones been murdered, you think of something horrific and this was my mum and dad we were talking about. So i was literally. Its ok. I was holding on to her and just didnt want her to i didnt want them to take her, and you could see that they they didnt want to take her, but they had to, because it was theirjob. And so obviously, she went away, bless her, and shes only four foot eight in a nightie, dressing gown and slippers, because we got told she was just gonna be away for three hours. It ended up being nearly 30. After a trial lasting almost three weeks, a jury found mavis not guilty. Her family are joining calls for a change in legislation to allow assisted dying. The law exists to protect the sanctity of life. How can a law like this be introduced and how can a law do both things . Well, they have it in another countries and it works perfectly well. Were talking about people not the Vulnerable People people who are of sound mind to have that choice, to be able to turn around and say this is it now. This is how i would like to go. So for instance, my dad i would like to go at home with my family around me. And then, of course, youre going to have the medical team there, youre going to have signed all of the documents and everything else. Theyre going to have been safeguarded. Were not talking aboutjust anybody being able to do it and get away with it. This is not what were talking about at all. Were talking about a law. One which the government says would have to be approved by parliament which, four years ago, voted against a change. But maviss family says they will keep campaigning after the loss of their father, and very nearly losing their mother. John maguire, bbc news, staffordshire. Werejoined here in the studio by sarah wooton from dignity in dying, an organisation that believes assisted dying should be legal. And from our glasgow studio by Gordon Mcdonald from care not killing, which promotes Palliative Care. Sarah, i know you have been supporting this family is the case has come about. Can you tell us how they have been dealing with it . |j was with the family earlier this week. I know that mavis is quite damaged from the experience of being in court. It really has caused suffering, this law, basically it has criminalised compassion. Mavis was trying to show compassion towards her husband. They discussed him wanting to end his life early because of his terminal bowel cancer, said to have this happen behind closed doors, to be forced into this agonising situation for the family was horrendous, but then find yourself in court charged with murder was a horrendous situation for a grandmother of 80. I know that jy for a grandmother of 80. I know that joy feels strongly that the law has put them into this position. The whole family feel that stop they feel the law needs to change as a people can have upfront conversations about what they want to happen at the end of life. Conversations about what they want to happen at the end of lifem conversations about what they want to happen at the end of life. It is interesting to hearjoy speaking a moment ago. This family has been through a terrible ordeal, and they are now questioning the law in relation to how it is applied. What do you make of that appeal, that they think something should be changed . Firstly, i would they think something should be changed . Firstly, iwould say they think something should be changed . Firstly, i would say we are all moved hearing their story, but the law is there to protect people who are in a vulnerable position, it is there to protect us all. Actually, mavis was not charged of assisting suicide under the assisted suicide act. She was charged with murder, and so even if the know have been changed, it would not have altered the fact, in terms of the Decision Making that took place in this situation. Do you think it was appropriate for her to be charged with murder and manslaughter . Well, i dont know all the facts. I was not involved in making that decision, so i cant comment on that. But what i can say is the love we have is there to protect people who are in a vulnerable position. There are many people, particularly towards the end of life, who are very vulnerable, and that is why we have a law in place to protect them. We are conscious that there are pressures applied to people, pressures applied to people, pressures that we apply a ten quit internally to ourselves, and pressures from external forces, so we have a law in place to act as a deterrent. Given the sequence of events in this family situation, do you think it was the right thing for her to have gone through this Court Process . Her to have gone through this Court Process . Well, i am not commenting oii process . Well, i am not commenting on whether it was right for her to have gone through the Court Process or not, i dont have the facts to comment on that, but we do have the law treating people with compassion, the director of Public Prosecutions 80 years ago produced guidelines in relation to prosecution and assisted suicide. There are very few prosecutions in relation to assisted suicide because the law does treat people with compassion. But that doesnt mean we should remove the law because it is there to protect people. I dont think the law has treated this family with compassion at all. It is wrong to say that if the law was changed, that it would not have affected this case. It clearly would have. The cps was clearly would have. The cps was clear that there was evidence to prosecute and it was in the Public Interest to do so, so it would happen to other families in this situation. They also said that it was the courts place to look at the law on assisted dying, was not their place. If it was the place, they could have had upfront discussions about what dennis wanted at the end of life. Is it your belief that if the law was changed, people would be unnecessarily killed . That is what is happening in other countries. In the netherlands, many people are killed without even giving their consent. That is where there is a full euthanasia law. Giving their consent. That is where there is a full euthanasia lawn that was the case. Lets just bring sarah that was the case. Letsjust bring sarah in on that was the case. Lets just bring sarah in on that point. If that was the case, why would other countries keep legislating . We see law is being taken on by other countries. There is no evidence of abuse, but there are ten states, over 150 Million People worldwide, that have access to this. Australia has legalised, the Western Australia government has built in legislation. New zealand, canada, america. The discussion does go on, and we have debated this a lot on this safer, but there are concerns, and what gordon is saying other concerns about the welfare of Vulnerable People, and that is what makes it very, very difficult, wavy lines can get blurred. How easily can below clarify that. Yes, there should be strict safeguards. Nobody is saying this to be a free for all. At the moment it is a wild west with people abandoned. If you can afford to go to go to switzerland for assisted dying, you can. There is a police and crime commissioner who was recently diagnosed with motor neurone disease. He has
