'It can kill us': Kenyans fear impact of El Niño with floods predicted
'It can kill us': Kenyans fear impact of El Niño with floods predicted It flooded up to here in March, Agnes Shikoli says, pointing to a spot halfway up the six-foot [1.8m] corrugated iron wall of her home in Kibera, one of the largest informal settlements in Kenya. Her tiny house lies just a couple of metres from the Ngong river, which runs through this densely populated area in the capital, Nairobi. The scars of floods in the long rainy season earlier this year can still be seen - including a broken TV in the corner which was immersed in water. Tucked out of sight is a photo of her sister Beatrice Khalayi, 58, who died when intense rains caused widespread destruction in Kibera. She was among more than 60 people across the country who lost their lives.
Football Manager series shines a light on video game representation
Video games have come a long way when it comes to accessibility and providing ways for players with disabilities to enjoy new releases. But when it comes to seeing themselves represented on screen it's a different story. One big series that's hoping to help change that is Football Manager - the popular simulation that puts players in charge of their own team. The latest edition of the annual franchise allows people to use the game's custom character designer to create a manager who uses a wheelchair. Developer Sports Interactive tells BBC Newsbeat it's part of wider efforts to make the game as inclusive as possible.
I took Vinted to court to get my money back
Mali Osmelak never imagined that selling clothes on Vinted would end with a court claim to recover almost £6,000. She started trading on the platform to earn an income while managing Crohn's disease and caring for her four-year-old daughter. But when she became a professional seller in March, she was unable to complete Vinted's verification process, leaving thousands of pounds inaccessible in her Vinted wallet. After several weeks of trying to resolve the issue, Mali took legal action. Vinted says sellers may be asked to complete verification checks to comply with legal and regulatory requirements and 98% of transactions are completed smoothly without needing help from its support team.

Figure caption, AI teddy makes unprompted'I can't help with killing you' remark An AI teddy marketed as being perfect for children as young as three said I can't help with killing you after seemingly mishearing a question. It came amid a BBC investigation into AI toys and it made the unprompted remark while being asked how babies are made. AI toy company founder Paul Clarke said the industry was crying out for regulation - a call echoed by the children's commissioner for Wales. The UK government said children's safety would always be a top priority and it supported innovation while ensuring products were safe.
The Papers: 'Justice' and 'Predatory' Brand faces jail
Image caption, Many of the front pages feature UK entertainer Russell Brand after he was convicted of rape and sexual assault. Justice is the Daily Mirror's single-word headline printed over a photo of Brand, writing that the court found him guilty of raping one woman and assaulting three others. Image caption, Brand faces jail for sex crimes, says the Daily Express, relaying the court's finding that he was using fame to offend. Image caption, The Daily Telegraph reports that the BBC has been accused of enabling Brand's behaviour, writing that his conviction has piled fresh pressure on the public broadcaster - along with other networks Brand worked for including Channel 4 and MTV - over its failure to control its stars. A BBC spokesperson said there could be no place for the abuse of power, adding: Across the industry we must work together to ensure that anyone who suffers at someone else's hand feels able to report it, that their concerns are taken seriously and that they are listened to.
Scottish government needs to act faster on grooming gang inquiry, says survivor
A survivor of grooming gang abuse has accused the Scottish government of taking too long to deliver the public inquiry it promised at pace almost nine months ago. Holly Alex, 36, went into care at the age of 14 after her stepfather went to prison and her relationship with her mother broke down. Holly's social care records, seen by BBC Scotland News, show that staff recorded concerns that she was being groomed for sex by adult Asian men as a teenager. They also indicate social workers and police knew of the risks she faced. Education Secretary Màiri McAllan said safeguarding children was the government's priority, and the planned statutory inquiry was a core part of this work.
Delhi air quality worsens ahead of Diwali as firework restrictions enter force
Delhi is once again battling worsening air pollution as the onset of winter brings a familiar deterioration in air quality to India's capital. The city's air quality index (AQI) - which measures PM2.5, fine particulate matter that can clog lungs - has crossed 300, entering the very poor category and raising health concerns for millions of residents. Breathing such polluted air over prolonged periods can cause respiratory problems and worsen existing illnesses, with children and older people particularly vulnerable. Authorities have responded by invoking Stage II of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP), introducing measures to curb dust, vehicle emissions and other sources of pollution. GRAP is a set of emergency measures that become progressively stricter as pollution levels rise.
Housing targets threaten ancient woods, campaigners warn
Ancient woodland campaigners fear a drive to build more houses could put some of England's oldest habitats under increasing pressure, despite government protections designed to prevent their loss. The protected areas can only be built on or near in wholly exceptional circumstances, according to planning policy. But the Labour government's pledge to build 1.5 million new homes by the end of 2029 and the recent creation of the grey belt - areas of poorer quality open spaces that can be built on - are leaving ancient woodlands at threat, campaigners say. A spokesman for the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said ancient woodlands continued to benefit from very clear and strong protections. But the BBC has found dozens of individual sites which feature planned developments immediately next to the woods.
Man fighting for custody of badger he nursed back from starvation
An ecologist in the Scottish Borders is fighting to be allowed to keep a badger that he saved from starvation. Graeme Wilson was called out to help the cub, called Harriet, in April after she was found in a cattle trough 100m (300ft) from her sett. Wilson nursed the badger back to health but believes she was hand-reared prior to this, and it would be impossible to return her to the wild. NatureScot - which turned down his application for an educational licence to keep the animal - said it was continuing talks to try to find a pragmatic solution.
