this is bbc america, and now, live from london, "bbc world news." >> hello, i'm david eades with "bbc world news." our top stories. gas will flow along pipelines from russia to ukraine this winter in a deal brokered by the european union. >> there is now no reason for people in europe to stay cold this winter. protesters are back on the streets of burr ke burkina faso capital.

it's halloween, so we take you to one of the scariest houses in america. hello, thanks very much for joining us. there is no reason for people in europe to stay cold this winter. those are the warming words of jose manuel barroso after russia agreed to supply gas supplies to ukraine over the coming months. the deal was brokered by the eu, which gets about a third of its gas from russia, about half of it pumped through ukraine, as laura westbrook reports. >> reporter: this was the moment the european union had spent months bargaining for. ukraine and russia signing a gas deal just in time for winter.

>> this is an important step for our shared energy security in the european continent. there is now no reason for people in europe to stay cold this winter. >> reporter: gas had stopped flowing this summer. talks stalled because moscow wanted assurances from the eu that it would pick up any unpaid ukrainian bills. a new compromised gas price has now been agreed until march next year. in return, ukraine will pay back billions of dollars it owes to russia. the eu and imf are helping to provide the funding. still, russia had been accused of using gas as a political tool as western sanctions begin to bite. this week, nato said it had intercepted these bombers in european air space, a sharp increase in military activity by moscow. a third of europe's gas supplies

come from russia. and for those here in donetsk, the fear of winter is very real. this derelict hospital is home to many, either too poor or to old to flee the fighting. they live in the basement lit only by candles. this man says, we can cook food only using a fire. fire is a problem, but there are many broken windows knocked out by explosions. we gather them and make fire. there is no heating here. a cease-fire may be in place, but that hasn't stopped the fighting that continues to rage on. ukraine says several soldiers have been killed this week alone. there may be optimism in brussels, but for those here, there is no sign of a deal to end this crisis. laura westbrooking bbc news. >> our moscow correspondent

sarah rainsford spoke to me earlier. she said the latest energy deal is, of course, still surrounded by the ongoing political tensions between russia and ukraine. >> the way russia is presenting it. this was only ever about economics. it's making the case since the beginning of this latest gas crisis between russia and ukraine, and therefore implicating europe. it always said this is about ukraine paying a market price for its gas and paying that money reliably, pointing out that ukraine has failed to pay for the gas and that's why it was cut off back in the summer. now what we've heard is the energy minister after those extremely long very complex talks in brussels, the energy minister saying we're not overjoyed by this, but we're quite pleased because this is what we expected, this is what we wanted. we wanted ukraine to pay. but of course, behind all of this, there is this disaster relationship between moscow and kiev and the suspicion that russia is using gas in its

control of supply of gas to ukraine, and that's what it was doing here. russia has denied that all along and say it's all about economics. >> you mentioned the energy commissioner who also said perhaps this gives us the first glimmer of a relaxation in the relationship. of course, we've got elections in the separatist regions in ukraine coming up in a couple of days as well. can you see that? >> well, you know, those elections on november 2nd are going to be the next critical point in this extremely complicated and very fragile relationship between these two countries. because russia has already said -- the foreign minister has already said that russia will recognize the results of those elections in the rebel-held regions in eastern ukraine. kiev and the eu have said very clearly that the 2nd of november is not a legitimate election, and there have been suggestions that there could be increased sanctions by the west on russia

if it does go ahead and recognize those elections. there is, of course, an agreement of peace still that was signed between ukraine and russia and the rebel authorities, if you like, in the east of ukraine, which was supposed to regulate the conflict there, and that, according to the eu, suggested elections would be held later in the year, in december. russia is saying they'll be happening on november 2nd. that's what they support. the eu is saying if that goes ahead, it's a very -- there's a potential for very serious negative consequences in the relationship again between the west and russia. >> consequences on so many levels, not least, of course, for the industry. aaron is here with the business news with the ramifications of that. >> absolutely. certainly good news for europe's economies, david. good to see you. thanks very much. russia has agreed to resume gas supplies to ukraine as part of a deal negotiated, of course, through the european union. the eu gets about a third of its

gas from russia. half of that goes through ukraine. this agreement, a first glimmer of a relaxing of the tensions between moscow and kiev in a conflict that has plunged east-west relations into a chill not seen since the cold war. uk wholesale gas prices have dropped to a record low on the news of this deal, and christian schultz told us earlier that the new gas deal, it's good news for the eurozone economy. listen to this. >> the crisis in eastern ukraine was terrible, of course, for the ukrainian economy. for ukraine as a whole. russia itself, because of the western sanctions, because of the outflows of western money from russia is also an economic crisis. and also on europe. and particular on the eurozone, it's had a big confidence impact since march, since the russians annexed crimea. because of fears over sanctions and countersanctions, especially fears over the potential energy

sanctions and shortages in gas supplies for europe. and as was mentioned before, a third of the eu's gas supply comes from russia. so this is a big deal. if this is sealed and if this really works, then that's good news, not just for ukraine, not just for russia, but also for the eurozone and for the wider eu. >> we'll keep across that one for you. how about this? the bank of japan. it's taken the financial markets by surprise, saying it is going to expand its massive stimulus program. the central bank has decided to take action because economic growth and inflation in japan, they just haven't picked up as expected after that sales tax-high hike that we saw in april. that was introduced back in april. the bank's governor said it was at a critical moment for japan, and a preemptive strike against damaging deflation. so markets certainly liking that news there. considering the fed stopped

theirs. all hallow's eve, or halloween, ushers in the cold and dark winter season. this year, i tell you what, happy halloween certainly for the retailers. it is being celebrated increasingly around the world from europe and north america to the philippines. and crucially this year, it falls on a friday, and that is likely to boost demand for pumpkins, costumes and all those sweets. in the u.s., spending -- look at that on halloween. $7.2 billion on all things halloween. so that's good news for the economy, good news for the retailers. almost $450 million here in the uk. sales are up on halloween spending. what do you think of that? follow me on twitter. tweet me. i'll tweet you right back. that is it with the business news. you spend anything on halloween? >> humbug. >> do you get the kids knocking at your door, what do you -- get out of here? >> they're terrified of me anyway. now to israel as the authorities there have reopened access to an important holy site

in jerusalem after they closed it due to unrest in the city. the mosque compound, or temple mount, was shot on thursday after a jewish activist had been shot earlier in the week. israeli police then shot dead a palestinian man they suspected of carrying out the attack. a spokesman for the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas said that the president had called the closure a declaration of war. i asked quentin sommerville whether the situation has calmed down. >> it's business as usual. worshippers are able to ask the compound. only men, but there's plenty of extra police and security officials all across jerusalem.

it's raining today, so that discourages lots of people. it's the second time in just over a week that hundreds of extra security forces have had to be deployed in this city because of the ongoing tensions here. not just over access to temple mount also known as the al-aqsa compound, but because of a number of other issues. jewish settlers moving into palestinian neighborhoods, and from the israeli jewish perspective, a number of what the area felt is terror attacks against israeli jews in east jerusalem. >> it sounds as if this is a brief respite almost in terms of the way in which both sides have been quite ready to ratchet up that sense of tension. >> reporter: the day isn't over yet. let's see if that respite lasts longer than the rain. but you're absolutely right. david, one of the things that perhaps we -- our audiences aren't aware of is that because

of the war in gaza, the tension shifted away from jerusalem. but things have been pretty bad all through the summer here. and have become increasingly bad since the end of the war in gaza. and that's great deal of frustration on both sides. both from israeli jews and from palestinians. that this city -- where a very delicate status quo has been maintained religiously and politically for many, many years, that that status quo might be shifting and that's why we're seeing so much violence. the thing that's really lacking is since the failure of that american-led peace initiative earlier in the year, there's been very little leadership demonstrated either by israelis or by palestinians to compromise and move things forward and to try and head off the violence here. >> protesters in the west african state of burkina faso have been taking to the streets again to demand the immediate resignation of this man, president blaise. on thursday, thousands of people

swept through the capital ouagadougou. he says he will carry on governing for a one-year transition period. our reporter is on the line from the capital ouagadougou now. i understand that people are getting back out on the streets again. in what number? because obviously it was a virtual riot yesterday. >> reporter: yes, but life seems to have gone back to normal here in ouagadougou. some people, as you said, are unhappy about the president's statements that he made yesterday night on local television, that he would stay in power. he sent a strong message yesterday saying that he had

understood the message from the protesters, taken notes of a strong desire for change. yet he added that he remains available for this period of transition, and said that he would remain president. so while he was saying that he had understood the message from protesters, he decided to stay in power. the opposition wouldn't hear it. already some of the leaders of the opposition have said that his departure from power is not negotiable. so the atmosphere here in burkina faso is still filled with conclusion and uncertainty about the next steps that are going to be taken. the president also said that the martial law would be lifted, but the curfew installed yesterday

would remain. >> okay, laeila, thanks very much indeed. do stay with us on "bbc world news." coming up, concerns in west africa that areas at risk of ebola are simply underprepared for an outbreak of the disease. my motheit's delicious. toffee in the world. so now we've turned her toffee into a business. my goal was to take an idea and make it happen. i'm janet long and i formed my toffee company through legalzoom. i never really thought i would

[ bump ] ugh. i'm the horseless headsman. i think you mean the headless horseman? no. have a snickers®. why? because you get confused when you're hungry. better? better. [ male announcer ] you're not you when you're hungry®. snickers® is halloween satisfaction. you're watching "bbc world news" with me, david eades. the latest headlines. europe will not feel the cold this winter. reassuring words, as a deal is brokered for russia to resume gas supplies to ukraine. protesters are back on the streets of burkina faso's capital, demanding the president step down. in just the last hour, the world bank has announced another $100 million to train health workers to help stop the spread of ebola in west africa. in geneva, the world health organization has just outlined

its latest recommendations on the use of protective clothing and equipment. it's emerged that not every area in the region is sufficiently prepared, even now, to deal with the infection. our africa health correspondent anne soy sent this report from ghana, where staff in one hospital are having to use raincoats rather than proper protective gear. >> reporter: this megaphone has seen better days, but it's all the liberian refugees here have got. this man walks just outside of accra as an announcer. his messages have centered on the disease that have hit his own country hard. at the gate, the guard keeps a watchful eye. but he's not able to tell who's arriving from the countries at the center of the ebola outbreak. t >> i'm worried because i don't know who is who. maybe somebody might be carrying

the disease. like now. maybe i have the disease. you don't know. >> reporter: this hospital was set up to as the refugee camp. health workers have been learning how to deal with ebola. they are relying on the community to inform them of new arrivals from the infected countries. at the moment, the nurses are monitoring 11 of them. >> we are scared because most of the liberian citizens do sleep in here. people were coming and going out to liberia. >> reporter: they do not have personal protective equipment, but they have improvised. they've stocked up on gloves, wellington boots, and raincoats. this is what proper protective gear for ebola looks like, but even in some cases, health care workers have become infected while treating patients. now compare that with this. not fit properly, of course.

the exposed areas. and just the fact that these are not manufactured to meet any high standards. even when airlines stopped flying and some countries closed their borders, there are those who still found a way. that is why the management feels the camp is vulnerable. >> you know, once a man is identified as having ebola, we'll direct a person to that area. we are seriously in a problem. >> reporter: ghana has had no case of the disease. even though it does not share a border with any of the affected countries, the fact that this movement of people from the epicenter of the outbreak means it is at high risk, so any hint of being unprepared is worrying. anne soy, bbc news. >> i want to give you the latest on the situation in sri lanka. heavy rains have disrupted the search for scores of people feared buried in a landslide in

the central of the country. it's thought 100 people are still missing. hopes of finding them alive, though, have faded. some survivors are living in refugee camps. >> reporter: this is a classroom in one of the schools that's been converted into a temporary shelter for the people affected by the landslide. there are people here who have lost their loved ones. people here who have lost their homes. all around me, you can see stacks of clothes, pillows, mattresses, bags. anything that people could pull out of their homes before they were buried under the mud. now, i've met a little boy and girl who have lost both their parents in this disaster. in fact, the boy told me that his mother actually did spot a crack in the hillside, and she sent her children away to safety and said that she and her husband would collect all the belongings and join them there, but even before they could do that, the mud was too quick. a woman also told me about how she grabbed her two children in

her arms and ran to safety when she heard people screaming outside. now, rescue operations have been very slow, and that's because it's been raining incespedses -s sently in this area the past few days. it's too dangerous to continue operations sometimes. yesterday, no survivors or no dead bodies were found. in fact, authorities have already said at this point, the chance of finding any survivors are slim. conflicting reports are coming, often the villagers, it's very hard to put a number of how many people are actually missing at this point. other people who are fearing more landslides who have gathered here trying to protect themselves. so for all of these people here, perhaps it's going to be a long wait to find any news on those who are missing, and also to return back to their homes and start building back their lives.

guess what. today is halloween. well, no one sell brits it more than the americans. the bbc pop-up team in baton rouge went behind the scenes at one of the scariest haunted houses in the country. his report has some flashing images. >> you be careful, young man. don't you walk my path. i roam. have a bad night. >> so halloween in america is pretty huge. as a brit, that's always really fascinated me. so i'm currently at america's scariest haunted house, supposedly, dressed as a zombie,

scaring some people. and i'm here to speak to some people to find out what it's all about basically. so let's see what happens. >> one of the top haunted attractions in the country. >> what is it about being scared that you like? >> just the adrenaline rush. the thrill of it. >> really, really go through a lot of trouble to get detail. >> what was the scariest part? >> the clowns. the doll house. i don't like that. >> everyone is different. each person is scared of something else. so we try to have a little bit of everything. >> the raggedy anne doll. >> you don't make your presence known until they kind of half turn, and -- >> mister, i'm scared. forget that. >> you bend your arm down and you turn your head this way. >> i don't just do it for fun. you know, it's my krcareer.

>> now look in the camera now. do you see? the people come to pay and they come to see dead people. aren't they crazy? why would you want to come and see a bunch of dead people? come on now. come on. >> okay, so we're all dressed as zombies. and now we're going to go in. >> oh [ bleep ]! >> why can't you get snup? >> full on human flesh and delicious brains. and we are now finished. it was pretty scary. i think we did a good job. and i think we both enjoyed scaring a lot of kids a lot more than we probably should. but it's all over. it's time to go home. and all i can say is happy halloween, everyone. >> he enjoyed it, didn't he? we can hardly leave you with

that. so to end the bulletin, just want to show you something a little bit lighter. a couple of pandas apparently having a great time. in fact, what they're doing is resisting the medicine that the attendant is trying to give them. and they did it for ages and they succeeded. no medicine. bamboo only. thanks for watching "bbc world news." foreign markets. asian debt that recognizes the shift in the global economy. you know, the kind that capitalizes on diversity across the credit spectrum and gets exposure to frontier and emerging markets. if you convert 4-quarter p/e of the s&p 500, its yield is doing a lot better... if you've had to become your own investment expert, maybe it's time for bny mellon, a different kind of wealth manager ...and black swans are unpredictable. you pay your auto insurance premium every month on the dot. you're like the poster child for paying on time. and then one day you tap the bumper of a station wagon. no big deal... until your insurance company jacks up your rates.

europe will stay warm this winter, as a deal is struck by the european union, and russia agrees to resume gas supplies to ukraine. and halloween spending set to soar, as adults and children, even puts get in on the scary

festival. hello, everybody. i'm aaron. welcome to the program. a fascinating snap shop of everything in the world of business and money. we're talking to talk halloween and tell you how much the americans spend on costumes for their pets for halloween. anyway, russia and ukraine. they have signed a gas deal, as you've been hearing, that will see moscow resume supplies of gas to its ex-soviet neighbor. it certainly eases the threat of a gas shortage, which gets a third of its gas from russia. russia cut off supplies to ukraine several months ago because of "the unpaid debts" by kiev. after several rounds of failed talks, this deal certainly eases the concerns over a new gas war. the package, it is worth that. $4.6 billion in total. ukraine must pay just over $3 billion to cover debts for supplies from russia's gazprom,

but the eu and the imf have already agreed to help ukraine fund some of its new gas supplies. russia is insisting, though, stump up the cash. cash up front. christian schultz, he says it is good news for the eurozone economy. >> the crisis in eastern ukraine was terrible for the ukrainian economy, for ukraine as a whole. russia itself, because of the western sanctions, because of the outflows of western money from russia is also an economic crisis. and also on europe, and particular on the eurozone, this crisis has had a big confidence impact, since march, since the russians annexed crimea, confidence in particular in germany is declining because of fears over sanctions and countersanctions, and especially fears over these potential energy sanction and shortages in gas supplies for europe, and as was mentioned before, a third of the eu's gas supplies comes from russia. so this is a big deal.

if this is sealed and if this really works, then that's good news not just for ukraine, not just for russia, but also for the eurozone and for the wider eu. >> good news indeed. how about this? all hallow's eve, or halloween, it originates from a northern european festival which signals the end of the light and warmth, the cold and the dark. it's a happy halloween for retailers because it falls on a friday. makes a difference, apparently. halloween is embraced in the u.s., where this year's spending on tricks and treats is expected to be -- look at that -- a whopping $7.2 billion. that is an increase of 7% from last year and record numbers of americans are expected to spend most of that money on costumes. yep, all dressing up. listen to this, though. look at that. they'll cough up some $350 million just on halloween outfits for their pets. the uk is expected to spend $709

million. near 450 million pounds for halloween. that's an increase of 5.2% on the spend on pumpkins, kos tcos and all those sweets and l lollies. great to have you with us in the studio. your company, you forecast the uk projected spend. so if spending is up in the u.s., and here in the uk, is that a sign that people are more comfortable with the money in their pocket? >> i think it is a sign, yes. things are getting a bit better for people. but it's also a sign i think that there's more out there for us to spend our money on at halloween. and of course, we love to indulge our children. so it's a great opportunity for retailers. >> i want to talk about that. because there's a lot of scope for growth here in the uk, but is this a festival, if you will, an area, or time of the year where the retailers are going

hang on, there's a big market out there, and they've all jumped onboard? >> oh, yeah, definitely. it's really taken off over the last few years. and they're really developing new products. you know, like witch's fingers. and coffins from sweets and things. so it's a great opportunity for retailers to get us to spend more than we would do normally. i think there's a lot of media around it. you see films, american sitcoms where they're all piling into it. it's becoming much more popular. >> $350 million is what the americans spend on their pets. will we go down that path here? >> oh, i'm sure we will. because it's a big market now, the pet market. i'm sure pets at home are thinking about, what are they going to do next year for halloween. i'm sure it's a big opportunity here and we do love our pets in the uk. >> absolutely. my floor director loves his doggie. this is a global trend, i guess, that we're seeing, right? i have a neighbor who lives

across the hallway. a french family. they stuck up halloween decorations very early, a couple weeks ago. but the scope of growth in the uk right here, what did i say, just over $700 million. the u.s., it's a bigger market. where could it go? >> i think it can get much bigger. unfortunately, it's right up against christmas, but then christmas is a huge, huge event for us. and there are lots of other events like valentine's day and mother's day where we're spending money. so i'm sure it can get much bigger as well, because it's an enjoyable thing to do, it's quite like a party. >> and it involves sweets. great stuff. we appreciate your time. thanks very much for that. nowadays it's not a question of whether you've got a phone, but which phone you have. africa has the fastest growth of mobile subscribers in the world, but as everybody rushes out to get the smart phones and the latest -- with those latest gizmos, what happens to the old

phones? the bbc has been finding out where they end up in ivory coast. >> reporter: they're a status symbol. they're stylish. and arguably the most important fashion accessory. the mobile phone. this is the black market. this entire row of stools is just for mobile phones and they're cheap. you can buy a smart phone like this one for as little as eight u.s. dollars. but as more people want the latest model, the more waste that gets left behind. despite the hundreds of repair shops across the city. >> translator: when i finish the repairs, whatever doesn't work, like the batteries, for example, we store them somewhere because they are very dangerous for the children. >> reporter: and this is the problem, the waste.

if not dealt with, can become a toxic hazard. >> translator: all of this electrical waste has chemicals inside. and if we don't dispose of them correctly, it poses a risk to the health of the population. >> reporter: but things are beginning to change. people are starting to realize the precious metals inside the phones can be worth a lot of money. >> translator: this is a center where we collect and store mobile phone waste. we collect the waste from the phone repairman. when it arrives, we sort through it and then store it in bags as you can see, before shipping them to france. >> reporter: in this case, the phone parts are being sent to europe. but west africa is actually known as the main dumping ground

for the world's electronic waste. and recycling facilities like this one are rare. it's the first center of its kind in the country. they've already collected ten tons of old mobile phones. it's a start. but it's estimated that is less than 1% of the total waste just in ivory coast. >> follow me on twitter. you can tweet me @bbcaaron.

hello there. nick marshall-mccormack. coming up on the show, they are masters at their own game, and novak djokovic is leading the way in paris. it's a horrendous homecoming for lebron james. the king is on the losing side in his first game for the cavs. and despite 75 tournaments without a win, nicolas colsaerts is leading the pack in shanghai. novak djokovic says he's ready for another battle when he faces andy murray in the quarterfinals of the paris masters. he secured his place at the atp finals in london next month. djokovic beat the hometown favorite gael monfils. >> reporter: djokovic is clearly

focused on retaining the number one spot. he might be a new dad, but it's doing his game no harm, beating home favorite gael monfils 6-3, 7-6 was child's play. dmitrov beat andy murray at wimbledon, but he was no match for him here. murray displaying some brilliant touches, and a wonderful lob that should help as he seeks his fourth title in six weeks. serving out to win, murray, who needed to reach the last day to qualify for the season-ending finals in london, is doing more than that. he's playing some of the best tennis of his life. as is veteran roger federer, who eased past the qualifier, federer can still top the rankings at the end of the year if all goes according to plan. >> and here's the quarterfinal lineup. thomas berdych takes on thomas

addison. mil milos raonic. lebron james's cleveland homecoming really didn't go to plan after the cavs were beaten 95-90 in their season opener against the new york knicks. james really struggled in his first game for them since returning to the franchise from miami. it was one of his worst games ever, with eight turnovers. he shot just 15 to end the night on the losing side. the bookmakers immediately made them favorites to win the title next june, but james's display was nothing like the stuff of champions. the knicks held on well in the fourth. carmelo anthony scored a game-high 25 points. >> well, my shooting is a lot of me, just out of rhythm. my turnovers, some of them was

careless, some of them was chemistry. kind of i'm throwing pass where is i was hoping that some of my teammates were and they were not there. and that will come with each game, it will come with each practice. we continue to learn. kyrie, i thought he was going to stay in the corner. he cut back door. another one where i thought kevin was going to roll, he popped. those things will come. >> sao paulo took the lead when michael bastos had all the time in the world here to get that shot away. and they went 3-0 up at halftime. a beautiful run in the middle here. look at this. perfectly onside. this makes it 3-2. but sao paulo's two-goal advantage was restored with this header from antonio carlos.

i want to show you some theatrics here. the replay is brilliant. must have been an invisible banana here. over he goes. nope, he wasn't booked. the only goal came near the end and it was pretty scrappy. sneaks it over the line. it's been a long time coming for nicolas colsaerts who's played in 75 tournaments since his last win, but he's on top of the leaderboard in shanghai. he had nine birdies, including this one on the 16th. his world ranking has slipped to 142. there are some big names chasing his one-shot lead, including thomas bjorn. his delicate little chip on the eighth. hit pretty hard, i suppose. stays in still, though. he finishes eight shots off the

lead. watch your back, graeme mcdowell is on the hunt. he'll be annoyed after two bogeys on the back nine, which left him six shots off the pace. nonetheless, he was happy for his second round. >> i got here tuesday morning, haven't really been feeling my best the last couple days. first sort of long trip of the year for me. the body took a little bit of time to catch up. you know, thankfully, you know, a couple nights sleep and i felt much, much better this morning. energy levels felt good. and generally swung the club quite well. you know, a couple weeks ago i felt my game was in good shape. you know, coming in here, obviously looking for a big finish to the season, and that was a nice way to start. >> two of the 11 formula one teams won't be racing in a u.s. grand prix this weekend. they are in the pit after financial problems. ahead of his first practice later today, lewis hamilton says the pit lane will be a strange place in texas. >> i definitely feel for the

guys that are in those two teams that this weekend won't be racing. it's going to be abnormal for them. they have to provide for their families. it's a shame. but i hope that, you know, changes moving forward for the sport perhaps. it will open up an opportunity for them to come here. >> how far can you cycle in an hour? the austrian cyclist mathias brendler can go a long way. he broke the historic hour record on thursday, covering a distance of 51.850 kilometers. the austrian time trial champion eclipsed jens voight's record, which he set only last month. the record has previously been held by cycling greats such as fausto copy and eddie mercks. >> now i feel really great. but during the race, it was so

hard. it was so good that so many people are supporting me here, because i had a difficult period in the middle of the race where i suffered really. i had to take a few laps easier. but in the end, i could find my rhythm again. pakistan have really taken control of the second and final cricket test against australia. they put on more rounds for pakistan in the second day in abu dhabi. the aussies lost a player, he hurt his shoulder. david warner has replaced him. pakistan are 461-3. that is "sport today." we'll see you soon. bye-bye. my motheit's delicious. toffee in the world. so now we've turned her toffee into a business. my goal was to take an idea and make it happen. i'm janet long and i formed my toffee company through legalzoom. i never really thought i would make money doing what i love. we created legalzoom to help people start their business

and launch their dreams. go to legalzoom.com today and make your business dream a reality. at legalzoom.com we put the law on your side. what if we finally had that would be amazing. hey, what if we took down this wall? what if this was my art studio? what if we were pre-approved? shut up! from finding to financing, how'd you do that? zillow. (receptionist) gunderman group is growing. getting in a groove. growth is gratifying. goal is to grow. gotta get greater growth. i just talked to ups. they got expert advise, special discounts, new technologies. like smart pick ups. they'll only show up when you print a label and it's automatic. we save time and money. time? money? time and money. awesome.

awesome! awesome! awesome! awesome! (all) awesome! i love logistics.

ssc is supersonic car. faster than the speed of sound. we are literally going to be the

fastest horizontal thing ever at that altitude carrying a person. it's part spaceship, part racing car, and part jet fighter. our chief engineer on blood hound projector. >> i'm an engineer. went across 1,500 feet and the noise and sound, everyone just ran outside, looked up and there's concord above you. that was my moment. i went on to be an engineer. the hope is that this project is the concord of this generation. the first got to 763 miles an hour, just past the sound barrier. blood hound is pushing it all the way past a thousand miles an hour. not only do we break the land speed record, we also break the air speed record. so it's unique in that we have three engines. we not only have a jet engine, but a rocket as well.

that's the first time these two have been combined. the third engine is the little one. that's a race car engine. that gives us 20 tons of thrust. that's an awesome amount of power and that's what we need to get to a thousand miles an hour. the wheels are nearly a meter in diameter. they run at 10,500 rpm. they'll be the fastest hours in history. we've had so many challenges, we've been running this for nearly seven years. part of the biggest hurdle we had to overcome. the aerodynamics is key. not only to keep the car go in a straight line, but also keep it on the ground. and it is so outside of anything that anybody's done before, so we really have to go back to the drawing board. the key thing i brought to it is we were changing how we look to the problems. we use a technique called designer experiments. a really simple technique where it cracked a problem we've been bang our head against for eight months. a mathematical technique for solving a problem through doing lots of little experiments.

when you know the answer you're trying to get to but you don't necessarily know the questions you need to get there. using that whole technology and showing that to the rest of the team and to the industry in general, it was like that real wow, that eureka moment that solved all our problems. so the shape of the car you see now is a complete function of a mathematical equation. the whole project is this massive journey, and i think the proudest thing i've got is the fact of meeting and pulling together this great team of people. >> you have to push back past your comfortable boundary in order to innovate. >> we're putting together lots of different technologies and using them out of context. >> to dip in to all those industries and help create this car, the learning experience is priceless. >> we transfer directly toward the next generation spacecraft. it's that safety net.

there is no lookalike. the problems we're trying to solve are unique and we'll be the first to try and challenge those, and that's what's really exciting in engineering.

hello, i'm david eades with "bbc world news." our top stories. a breakthrough deal. gas will flow along pipelines from russia to ukraine this winter, after the eu brokers an agreement. >> there is now no reason for people in europe to stay cold this winter. thousands of protesters are back on the streets of burkina faso's capital after the president defies their calls to step down. >> i remain available to open a dialogue with you over a transitional period, after w
