Dateline london looks at the effect impeachment could have on Donald Trumps support base. Hello, good morning. The australian Prime Minister, scott morrison, has acknowledged public anger at his decision to go on holiday while his country faces a bushfire crisis. Mr morrison said if he could go back he would have made a different choice. The fires are expected to worsen with more hot dry weather expected. Mr morrison did acknowledge the role of climate change, but said warming temperatures couldnt be connected to any single fire. Gareth barlow reports. This is the remarkable, almost apocalyptic, scene facing firefighters tackling australias deadly and devastating wildfires. Fire chiefs described saturday as an awful day. As thousands of personnel tackle raging infernos, the countrys Prime Minister, scott morrison, has been heavily criticised for being on holiday in hawaii, a trip hes now cut short. I get it that people would have been upset to know that i was holidaying with my family while their families were under great stress. They know that im not going to stand there and hold a hose, im not a trained firefighter. Im comforted by the fact that australians would like me to be here, just simply so i can be here. An area the size of belgium has been torched by the fires. Hundreds of homes have been destroyed with vast swathes of the landscape decimated by fire. Scores of blazes continue to grip the country. The relentless nature of this season is certainly taking a toll and so too is the geographic spread of the activity. You might recall for several months between july and the end of september, most of our effort was really concentrated in north east new south wales. Weve now got fires spreading from north east new south wales, the queensland border, down to the south coast of new south wales. This week has seen record high temperatures repeatedly broken. Scott morrisons government has long defended the use of fossil fuels and the Prime Minister has previously criticised local politicians whove linked the fires to climate change. But with australia hotting up and public pressure rising, the pm said the government would take action on climate change. There is no argument about the links between. In my view and the governments view, and any government in this country, about the links between broader issues of Global Climate change and weather events around the world. But im sure people, equally, would acknowledge that the direct connection to any single fire event is not a credible suggestion to make that link. So, we must take action on climate change, we are taking action on climate change. Arson, lightning strikes, even self combusting piles of manure, have all been blamed for triggering the blazes. First, though, the authorities have to try and take control of the flames before they can try and control the causes to prevent future fires. Gareth barlow, bbc news. Our correspondent shiamaa khalil is in balmoral one of the worst hit areas in new south wales. Im just going to try and make my way to one of the houses over there. You just have to watch every step you take. I mean, theres still smoke coming out of tree trunks, still smouldering. Watch it. And itjust gets you right in the throat, it becomes very hard to breathe. We also have to be very careful about the trees around us. Some of them have been completely burnt out. Theyre still standing, they could fall any time. But just look over there. Look at that. Look at that smoke, and just beyond it, look at that devastation. Nothing has escaped those fires. Nothing escaped the flames. And the destruction is absolute. You can see why firefighters are saying its too dangerous for people to come back to these areas. This house has been completely destroyed. I mean, you can see the remains of what used to be a kitchen, cars completely out, but really, what theyre afraid of now are those trees. The fact that these trees have been completely burned, and some of them have fallen off. Thats the danger now, and thats why people are not allowed back to those areas. Tesco has suspended production at a factory in china following allegations forced prison labour was used to pack Charity Christmas cards. It comes after the sunday times reported a 6 Year Old Girl from south london found a message from shanghai prisoners hidden in a box of cards. Our correspondent greg mckenziejoins me now. What more can you tell us . It was a six year old from south london who was sitting down writing her Christmas Cards to her friends and family and discovered one of the Christmas Cards in this £1. 50 box from tesco had already been written m, m from tesco had already been written in, in block capitals, message reporting to be from a prisoner in shanghai. It simply read, we are foreign prisoners in shanghai qingpu prison in china, forced to work against our will. Please help us and notify human rights organisations. The families did that and they contacted the human rights journalist peter humphrey, that was pa rt journalist peter humphrey, that was part of the message. It said to the recipient please contact peter and peter since most of the sanitised for the story. Tesco have issued a statement since went to the sunday times newspaper. Sunday times they statement since went to the sunday times they say they are shocked and would never allow prison labour in their supply chain. They said they were shocked by allegations and immediately halted production at the factory where these cards are produced and have launched an investigation. Tesco say they have contributed £300,000 to charities from the sale of their Christmas Cards and that goes to various charities in the uk. An investigation is ongoing. Greg, thank you very much. 88 flood warnings remain in place across the south, the midlands, and the east of england, and one other in wales following another night of heavy rain. Yesterday, a tornado swept through parts of surrey, damaging cars and houses and ripping up trees. This report from james 0hara. This is what days of relentless rain falling on to already saturated ground looks like. More than 100 mobile homes had to be evacuated at a caravan park in yalding in kent. Residents are unlikely to be able to return home for several days. In pulborough in west sussex, the sand bags are being put to the test. As the river rises, these vehicles didnt stand a chance. Weve got more rain on sunday, and more rain on monday as well, so its not going to get any better. I think the key thing here is its not going to get to the severe situation, where weve got significant number of properties. Its going to remain high until christmas, but after that, weve got a drier period, so hopefully things will calm down then. But this was the sight that greeted motorists on the m25 near chertsey in surrey. A tornado sucking up things from the ground and throwing them around. It left a trail of damage to these houses. Residents say they couldnt believe what they were seeing. With christmas approaching, millions of people will be taking to the roads in the coming days. Theyre set to endure what police are calling miserable driving conditions, hoping theirjourneys dont end like this. James 0hara, bbc news. The parents of harry dunn are to meet with the home secretary, priti patel, as the government considers whether to begin extradition proceedings against an American Woman accused of their sons death. Anne sacoolas is charged with causing death by dangerous driving following a crash in northamptonshire in august. Mrs sacoolas left for the us following the incident, claiming diplomatic immunity. Her lawyers said she would not return to the uk to face a potentialjail sentence for a terrible but unintentional accident. In the last few minutes, the queen has arrived for a Church Service at sandringham for a carol concert. She wasjoined in her car by edward, sophie and their son, but without the duke of edinburgh who has spent a second night in a Central London hospital. Prince philip, whos 98, is being treated for a pre existing condition, on the advice of his personal doctors. Our correspondent, simonjones, sent this update from the king edward vii hospital. Well, theres been no official update overnight from the palace. In fact, we havent heard anything from them formally since friday, when Prince Philip was admitted to hospital. I think its worth reiterating what they said back then. They stressed the decision to bring him here was precautionary on the advice of his doctor. I dont think we can read too much into the fact were not getting regular updates from the palace, because in previous years when Prince Philip has been in hospital, we heard very little from them until the point when he was ready to be released from hospital. Theyre still not saying what hes being treated for. We know that in the past he has had an operation on his hip. He has also had a stent fitted to deal with a blocked artery. The reason there is some concern is he is obviously 98 years old. And weve seen very little of him in public in the last couple of years. He retired from official royal duties. He used to carry out some 300 engagements a year. He was one of the busiest royals. But now he is rarely seen in public. He did, of course, at the start of the year have a nasty car accident, though he emerged from that pretty much unscathed. He was seen at a wedding in windsor back in may but few sightings since then. Overall, i think the palace are optimistic he may be well enough to be released in time for christmas to travel back to sandringham tojoin the queen. Although, of course, he did miss christmas celebrations back in 2011 with the royal family, because he was in hospital then having an operation. Simonjones reporting. Dozens of pesto products are being recalled overfears they may contain traces of peanut without listing it on the label.

Repair work is continuing on the parisian cathedral after a devastating fire in april, which destroyed its spire and roof. Midnight mass will be celebrated at a nearby church instead, according to officials. About 1 of the population has some form of epilepsy, which would suggest more than 60 Million People worldwide. Yet for many drugs don t work very well. Now, a team of Cambridge University scientists has built a tiny Electronic Device that could eventually sit on the brain to work out when the patient is about to have a seizure and deliver a drug to stop it. 0ur science correspondent, richard westcott, reports. In a very, very clean room at Cambridge University, theyre building a device that could one day transform treatment for epilepsy. So, chris, i take it youre not dressing like this forfun, fun as it is . Yeah, yeah, no, actually, for the electronics were making, its really important to be in an ultra clean environment. No dust, nothing in here . No, no dust, nothing in here. Itll sit on the brain and deliver a drug when it senses a seizure is coming. So, it feels a bit counterintuitive to have a device in your brain. How do you stop it kind of being rejected 7 so, actually, the device works very similarly to the cells in the brain. It that it can sense what other nearby cells are doing, and then know exactly when to release chemicals to tell the other cells what to do. Its exactly how the neurones in the brain work. One of the biggest obstacles to treating epilepsy and other Brain Disorders is getting the drug to where it is needed. A thing called the blood brain barrier stops many drugs getting through. This device could bypass that problem. So, the benefit of having a small device directly in the brain is we only deliver drugs where theyre needed, so you mitigate side effects. And because theyre going exactly where theyre needed, theyre highly effective. So we have found a very small amount of a drug can go a very long way, if it is delivered in the right location. The only part of the device that actually goes into the brain is this tiny needle here thats the width of two human hairs. And if you look at it under the microscope, this red patch here is the drug that is delivered when you need it. And how does it know when you need it . When someones about to have an epileptic seizure, the electrical activity in the brain changes, and sensors on the device pick that up. So, there are many potential applications of this technology, where we combine the ability to sense with the ability to locally deliver the drug. Other applications we have been looking into, for instance, treating various cancers, parkinsons disease, chronic pain. Basically, any application where you want to couple the ability to know when to deliver the drugs and then very locally and precisely deliver it where its needed. Its early days, but they hope to be testing in humans within five years. Richard wescott, bbc news, cambridge. The headlines on bbc news.

And although she knows shes doing something very special, she says shes managing to stay relatively calm going into each match. When i went up there last night, i just forgot all about what id done on tuesday and focused on the game. I totally forgot about everything else, i didnt put pressure on myself.
