hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. sweden faces political deadlock. none of the main political blocks attracted enough votes to form a government, the anti—immigration sweden democrats has made big gains. support for serena williams from the very top of women's tennis after she accuses an umpire of sexism at the us open final. that is not the only opinion we have heard. could a brexit breakthrough be on the cards? brussels says a deal for the uk to exit the european union could be reached within weeks. and the me too movement claims another big name as the head of cbs television les moonves is forced to step down. it will receive a major donation from cbs television. some people were smiling after the

result of the swedish election but not those involved in trying to form the next government. sweden is facing political instability. first of all neither of its two main political blocs claimed a clear victory in sunday's election. the ruling centre—left coalition took 40.6%, the centre—right alliance wasjust behind. 40.3%. the anti—immigrant sweden democrats, made gains — taking 18%. the prime minister stefan lofven has a chastening night — his party had its worst election for over 100 yea rs. he spoke earlier. one thing is already clear. no block has won a majority. the voters have

made that choice. now it is up to all of us decent parties to which the final result and then negotiate, cooperate and move sweden forward in a responsible way. i am of course disappointed that a party with the boot to nazism has made too much ground in ourtime. boot to nazism has made too much ground in our time. —— so much ground. this is how parliament looks. you need 175 seats to govern. the centre—left bloc has 144. the centre—right has 143. the sweden democrats has 62 — that gives them sway in parliament but it won't give them power. we're seeing in sweden what we've seen in the netherlands and germany — the main parties are refusing to form any alliance with the far right. here's the leader of the sweden democrats. translation:

we made the big gains and that gives us we made the big gains and that gives usa we made the big gains and that gives us a lot of influence over the next feminist and what the government might look like. this election was the first since sweden allowed over 163,000 people to come in during the migrant crisis on 2015 and 2016. that's the most per capita of any european country. and it made immigration a highly political issue —with concerns political issue — with concerns about healthca re and crime to the fore. these are some voters in stockholm reacting to the result. translation: i'm worried because the sweden democrats are growing. i'm not a big fan of the christian democrats either. in fact i would have preferred to see the social democrats get more votes. translation: it is very hard to see

what will happen as the express such strong positions all the time. in the long term i am hopeful because of the younger voters and those who are coming up, they have slightly different values. translation: it is one thing to vote and then it is another to see how the situation looks. i want to see a stable government we are sweden democrats have no —— i want to see a stable government where sweden democrats have no influence that will be hard, one realises that. this is the website of one of sweden's biggest newspapers dagens nyheter. this story says there's a connection between education levels, class and support for the far right. jenny hill is in stockholm. broadly speaking there are two

political groups. one to the ce ntre—left political groups. one to the centre—left and one to the centre—right. neither group is sufficient support to form a majority. and that means they will have two shuffle around a bit and make changes to their political alliances or even work with the sweden democrats. the two main parties here say that they refuse to do that but coalition talks are expected to go on for weeks as opposed to the average of six days it normally takes to form some kind of government here. this is all being closely watched another european capitals sweden is today waking up to a rather new political era. the far right sweden democrats say they are the true winners of this election. that is stretching it a little bit far. they have taken just under 18% of the vote but in a country like sweden with its long,

liberal tradition that is a extraordinary result. their real achievement is that they're now complicating what is an already intricate political landscape here. broadly speaking, there are two political groupings here, one to the centre—left, one to the centre right. neither of those groups has sufficient support to form a majority. that means that they will have to either shuffle around a bit to make some changes to their political alliances or even work with the sweden democrats. the two main parties here say they refuse to do that. but coalition talks are expected to go on for weeks as opposed to the average six days it would normally take to form some sort of government here. this is all of course being closely watched in other european capitals but it is causing a lot of controversy within the country too. many swedes are dismayed by the relative success of the sweden democrats who have gained in popularity following the migrant crisis. this country took in more people per head of migrants than any other country. many of the people we have spoken to here say they are very concerned about the anti—immigrant rhetoric that they sweden democrats have employed, particularly say about migrant related crime. but coalition talks are expected to go on for weeks as opposed to the average six days it would normally take to form some sort of government here. this is all of course being closely

watched in other european capitals but it is causing a lot of controversy within the country too. many swedes are dismayed by the relative success of the sweden democrats who have gained in popularity following the migrant crisis. this country took in more people per head of migrants than any other country. many of the people we have spoken to here say they are very concerned about the anti—immigrant rhetoric that they sweden democrats have employed, particularly say about migrant related crime. they are pledged to hold a referendum on taking sweden out of the eu so rather divided country today, a lot of concern and other eu capitals will be looking on because the sweden with all its liberal values, like so many other european countries now in the wake of the migrant crisis, does appear to have shifted towards the political right. now it is time but many of the people we have spoken to here say they are really concerned about the anti—immigrant rhetoric that the sweden democrats have employed, particularly their focus on what they say is migra nt—related crime. there is also concern about their pledge to hold a referendum on taking sweden out of the eu. so a rather divided country today, a lot of concern and as i say, a lot of eu capitals will be looking on because sweden, for all its liberal values and traditions, like so many other european countries now in the wake of the migrant crisis does

no sign of the furore around serena williams dying down. in the unlikely event you missed it — on saturday, naomi osaka beat serena williams. but in the second set serena williams received three warnings. first for receiving instructions from her coach — he says said he did it, williams says she would never do it. then she smashed her racquet — and a point was given to osaka. and then she called the umpire a ‘thief‘ — and was a game was given to osaka. not long afterwards osaka won. this is serena williams‘ argument: "i've seen other men call other umpires several things. i'm here fighting for women's rights and women's equality... for me to say ‘thief‘ and for him to take a game. it made me feel like it was a sexist remark. everyone's got a view on this. this is the men's champion novak djokovic. i have my personal opinion that maybe the umpire should not have pushed serena to the limit, especially in the grand slam final. he did change the course of the match and it was in my opinion maybe unnecessary. this is the statement from the women's tennis association's chief executive has backed williams saying "the wta believes that there should be no difference in the standards of tolerance provided to the emotions expressed by men versus women. we do not believe that this was done last night." "mr. ramos' decisions were in accordance

with relevant rules. " this is an editorial by former world number one billiejean king. she says "did ramos treat williams differently than male players have been treated? i think he did. women are treated differently in most arenas of life. this is especially true for women of colour. and commentator david law " fully accept that white male saying what is and isn t sexism is always going to be problematic. fully respect how serena feels if that s how she feels. less enamoured with the rush by others to then declare ramos specific actions as categorically sexist." and number of opinions being shared online. next this is the former british number one annabel croft. i think that her behaviour was unacceptable and i believe that carlos ramos would have given exactly the same penalties had been a on the other end of the court, so i do not understand why suddenly —— a man on the other end of the court, so i do not understand why suddenly

when he is a principled umpire doing his job, why it has suddenly been turned into a sexism row. this is a graph of fines during the us open fines. overall more men were punished for racquet violations than women. serena williams was the only player fined for verbal abuse. in the middle of this is naomi osaka who has won herfirst grand slam. but she actually apologised in the immediate aftermath of the match. she's been explaining why. i felt like everyone was sort of unhappy up there. i know that wasn't really like the ending was how people wanted it to be and i know that in my dreams i won in a very competitive tough match so, i don't know, ijust felt very emotional and ifelt like i had to apologise.

cbs sports anchor, dana jacobson, new york, it dana jacobson, new york, has gone away from ten lot it has gone away from tennis and a lot of people are looking at what happened and putting themselves in that position in the workplace or at school and that is why it is resonating with people. it is not just how serena was treated in a tennis court and now she feels about it and tennis court and now she feels about itand a tennis court and now she feels about it and a lot of women are looking at and saying how might you to do my work place and perhaps similarly unfairly. is that a process which kicks in with them the game of tennis? she has the fines that had been levied against and each of those individual fines and fractures could have been a fine up to $20,000. she has sat $17,000 total fine andi $20,000. she has sat $17,000 total fine and i think the interesting thing to watch as whether or not you read some of the statement from the president of the us tennis association and said about the fairness of how much is appreciated.

will they take some sort of action to try and ensure they believe they are not being officiated clearly that does happen? that is may be the only process would look to right now to see if that any changes that come from this. serena thought about this on saturday and she said she wanted to make it better for other on saturday and she said she wanted to make it betterfor other women come after her make it better the next time. one woman who looks up to her is the player who beat on saturday, or sack up. her is the player who beat on saturday, orsack up. ——osaka. her is the player who beat on saturday, or sack up. --osaka. just 20 years old and the first japanese player to win a grand slam on to win at 20 against and away the greatest athlete out there even in a comeback mode after winning burst. that's my giving birth. she wrote a story about williams being her idol and she looked up to her. she had played her before in miami but had your childhood idol be the person across

the net from you, centre court at the net from you, centre court at the us open and to meet her and beat her, williams was upset at a point being stolen from a bad or sack beat her to win being stolen from a bad or sack beat herto wina being stolen from a bad or sack beat her to win a grand slam and 20 to achieve a dream like that is unimaginable. she brings so much to the game of tennis and it will be interesting to see her. —— osaka stay with us on outside source — still to come... the metoo movement claims another big name — cbs is going to give millions of

dollars to the movement. les moonves was one of the most powerfulfigures in us media until he was forced to step down yesterday. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is... we have seen victories being thrown into the airand we have seen victories being thrown into the air and wanted to see victims being pushed under the wheels of a bus so it has been a difficult day. some of the relatives of victims should to leave the courts and knot tough to be the knot after watson was included the stabbing to death of pc keith palmer. the day began at an emotional way. each of the relatives of victims was asked to paint a pen portrait of the

person who died. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is... sweden's governing centre—left coalition has emerged marginally ahead of a centre—right alliance after sunday's election. the far right sweden democrats were the third largest single party with under 18% of the vote. that is a party with its roots in nancy is an anti—immigrant message. —— naziism. -- naziism. and uncompromising message from john bolton. -- naziism. and uncompromising message from john boltonm -- naziism. and uncompromising message from john bolton. if the court comes asked us and israel are other allies we will not sit quietly. we will take steps under

the american service protection act and other legal authorities. we will negotiate even more banding bilateral agreements. negotiate even more banding bilateralagreements. —— negotiate even more banding bilateral agreements. —— binding bilateral agreements. —— binding bilateral agreements. —— binding bilateral agreements. will ensure those who have already entered either honoured by a counterpart governments. we will respond against the icc and its personnel to be spent permitted by us law. —— extent. we will ban isjudges spent permitted by us law. —— extent. we will ban is judges and prosecutors from entering the united states and will sanction their funds in the us financial system and will prosecute them in the us particle system. we will do the same for any company a state that insists an icc investigation of americans. we will ta ke investigation of americans. we will take note of any countries cooperate with icc investigations of the united states and its allies and we will remember that cooperation when setting us foreign assistance military assistance and intelligence

sharing levels. let's bring in the barbara live from washington, dc. have you read anything like that? john bolton is the strongest critic of the icc in america. he's said it was an threat to american solvency. —— solvency. —— sovereignty. it was triggered by the icc prosecutor seeking permission from the court to investigate alleged war crimes in afghanistan with the potential to put americans and the dog. he came out strongly said that will never happen and this is the worst nightmare of a body that we've a lwa ys nightmare of a body that we've always thought had enormous and unaccountable para and he laid out the strategy and said there was no way we would cooperate with this and we will fight back as hard as we can with every possible means of the disposal with the financial

legislation and the travel bans and even criminal charges. it was extremely ha rd—hitting even even criminal charges. it was extremely hard—hitting even for somebody like mr bolton and he said it on the eve of the 17th anniversary of the september 11 attacks. he said people in palestine we re attacks. he said people in palestine were american pitches he went out harms way —— went into harms way to protect americans. another any of that speech i want to pick up on. john bolton made reference to israel for threatening the icc. he expanded and wide. israel has sharply criticised the icc was stopped while the court welcomes membership of the so—called state of palestine it is threatened israel, a liberal and democratic nation, with investigation into his actions in the west bank and gaza. to defend its citizens from terrorist attacks. there's also been a suggestion the

icc will investigate israeli construction of housing projects in the west bank. the united states will always stand with our friend and ally, israel. today, reflecting congressional concern with palestinian attempts to prompt an icc investigation of israel, the department of state will announce the closure of the palestine liberation organisation office here in washington, dc. the plo as the palestinian liberation organisation devoted to establishing a palestinian state with its capital injerusalem. its secretary—general has already responded to mr bolton saying we reiterate that the rights of the palestinian people are not for sale, but we will not succumb to us threats and bullying. america has already stopped funding the un body responsible for palestinian refugees and is left that body with a budget shortfall of over $200 million and i'm sure you will remember the us recognise jerusalem as

i'm sure you will remember the us recognisejerusalem as the israeli capital in december. it then move the us embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem in may. it then move the us embassy from tel aviv tojerusalem in may. despite the status of the city being contested. we had mr bolton making specific reference to the israeli settle m e nts specific reference to the israeli settlements in the west bank. this is an area occupied by the israeli military which they said is considered illegal under international law. hence the potential involvement of the icc. barbara, you were a correspondent in jerusalem. it is always going to be controversial if the icc heads into issues such as the settlements. yes, absolutely. no question that if the international legal body gets involved in issues of israeli occupation of the west bank and gaza there is a lot of pushed back from israel and from the united states. in terms of the plo office in washington and should be said this was set up after the oslo accords

we re was set up after the oslo accords were signed in 1994. it is a link to the administration while the accords we re the administration while the accords were supposed to be implemented and ultimately supposed to result in a palestinian state which as we know is not happen. congress put some conditions that offer. one was that the palestinians should not be allowed to go after the israelis in the icc which as mr bolton said they have started to make moves in that direction. in the fair moves in that direction. in the fair moves in that direction of the condition was the shoot at least be engaged with the israelis in some sort of peace talks and they are not. these are the palestinians are boycotting the trump administration ‘s peace initiative. these are two reasons at the state department and mr bolton have mentioned for deciding to shut down the plo office and the palestinians. they are boycotting this process because the trump association blatantly supports the demands of visual and core topics and has engage quite an unprecedented pressure campaign against the palestinians including cutting millions of dollars in

funding. by the palestinians are saying now is that this will not deter them at the icc and will speed things up there. les moonves is a giant of us media — and he's resigned as ceo of cbs following allegations of sexual misconduct. this is the article. it followed another article in the summer. these allegations first appeared in the new yorker magazine injuly in an article by ronan farrow. he is a huge power player in the entertainment world, in the tv world, the media world, you name it. he was the second—highest paid ceo in 2017, pulling in $69.3 million. many of the women interviewed by the new yorker said his authority in this industry is one of the reasons why they chose not to come out until

now, they did not want the careers to be sidelined or destroyed by someone with so much influence. some people might be watching and saying that les moonves denies this and cbs has not finished isn't designation process. why not let the process play out was mark there was a real reputational gamble that cbs was taking by continuing having les moonves their on—the—job. the big issueis moonves their on—the—job. the big issue is for these women, especially those out in the summer following the road in case —— farrell case that had been these allegations and still les moonves gets to enjoy his

position at cbs and rake in his very valuable salary. there was a big reputational push for cbs to do something and were getting a lot of pressure from the board of directors. the cbs already accept that it made mistakes and utterances with his culture which allowed misconduct to take place?|j with his culture which allowed misconduct to take place? i think there are a lot of organisations that are looking inwards with regards to what kind of a culture exist within their organisations and further not they are fostering an environment in which people do feel co mforta ble environment in which people do feel comfortable enough to come forward. i think what happened at nbc with some of the investigations there and it is really sort of spread to other networks ear and united states so there are lots these conversations happening in newsrooms in the united states and specifically here in new york. the severance package. lots and lots of people's discussing this

in raising eyebrows that les moonves could get up to $100 million. is that right? if you put it in perspective les moonves had and six and $50 million during his tenure as ceo cbs. it means you should get a large severance ceo cbs. it means you should get a large severance package. of course there was a lot of pushback against that. 20 million has already been donated to the meat to movement. whether or not they get 100 million is hard to tell. —— metoo movement. cbs news is covering the story extensively and it is worth keeping an eye and is twitter updates. see you ina an eye and is twitter updates. see you in a couple of minutes. it is our nightly look at the

weather around the globe. we are going to be talking about the middle of hurricane season and this time of the year the subtropical atlantic and beasts swarming with powerful storms. we have three had a keynes and onejust storms. we have three had a keynes and one just off the edge of the screen. that is how mccain hell lane. this is how mccain isaac. this is how mccain florence —— had a keynes. —— hurricane. it is storming around the eastern seaboard of the states were nothing compared what florence could unleash once it strikes land around thursday around the carolinas. these are notoriously difficult to predict and a good cold

north further south. so hard to predict that high will go. it is just around the eye that we get the most devastating weather and heavy rain. this isjust one computer result may be heading. on tuesday across the caribbean the weather is relatively ok apart from around the spot. the lesser antilles rothley edge of the screen and you can see the beginnings of hurricane ice that. this is not expect to be so powerful as hurricane florence. this is the forecast for the next 34 days. it barrels across the island and remember some of the islands was so and remember some of the islands was so badly affected last year. dominique is on the line for potentially being impacted by the storm. that is also the mention of something different in europe at the moment we were getting a blast of some summertime heat across some

parts of the continent. take a look at tuesday's weather forecast in paris. 30 celsius. in wednesday there will be a lot of heat. we're dismissing the heat in the uk. let's go back to the typhoon around the asia—pacific. this is a typhoon that has been passing guam and is expected to head in the direction of the asian caused so we're talking about a landfall sometime towards the end of the week and weekend around the philippines and maybe the northern end of the philippines, possibly taiwan and maybe the coast of china. it is and that storm will ta ke of china. it is and that storm will take this track and head in this general direction. i must stress that some of the computer models suggest this will be very powerful. that is a lot happening around the world and we will keep you posted. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. sweden faces political deadlock. none of the main political blocks

attracted enough votes to form a government, the anti—immigration sweden democrats has made big gains. support for serena williams from the very top of women's tennis after she accuses an umpire of sexism at the us open final. could a brexit breakthrough be on the cards? brussels says a deal for the uk to exit the european union could be reached within weeks. from sex and the city, to running the city. could actress cynthia nixon become new york's first woman governor? if a brexit deal is going to be made — it needs to happen in the next few weeks. the eu said today that that is possible.

this is michel barnier earlier. if we are realistic we can reach an agreement on the first stage of the negotiation. within six or eight weeks. we're also hearing reports that eu leaders hold a special brexit meeting to sign off on a deal — probably on november 13th. it's still not clear how major obstacles will be overcome — particularly the status of the border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland. brexit is actually going to happen at the end of march — but before then all national parliaments in the eu must sign off on the deal. goodness knows which way the uk parliament will go. on sunday, former foreign secretary boris johnson called theresa may's plan the equivalent of wrapping

a suicide vest around the british constitution and handing the detonator to brussels. that is quite a phrase to use when describing the plans of your own prime minister. today another conservative steve baker warned of a "catastrophic split" within his party — and says even if the eu agrees to the prime minister's plan, the uk parliament won't. ben wright is in westminster. while this is going on in westminster, are there people representing the uk in brussels negotiating the hours of the day and night? they are negotiating pretty much day and night and the tempo has increased dramatically because this is the endgame. the tone, shell barnier was revealing. he has said many times that the time is ticking

very loudly —— the tone from michel barnier was revealing. he has revealed his frustration with uk's approach for some time, but today very different, and on two the main sticking points he said there had been progress. the first of the so—called irish backstop, the insurance policy that will maintain a frictionless soft border on the island of ireland if there is no trade deal agreed long—term that would make sure that, he said biocides are looking to sort that out and he spoke about the constitutional integrity of the uk —— he said both sides. indicating they are moving to an agreement on that which is fundamental to getting the withdrawal deal sorted out in the withdrawal deal sorted out in the first place. on the uk plan for the first place. on the uk plan for the loan —— long—term so—called chequers agreement, he sounded warm,

but at the same time you have a relentlessly feed —— febrile atmosphere in westminster as the tory party rips itself into bits over what economic relationship they would like to see with the eu after brexit. if these tory rebels go against the government and vote against the government and vote against any deal that is done, where does the labour party fit into the equation? labour is also split, if not as much as the conservatives, but much will come down to what the labour mps but much will come down to what the labourmps do, but much will come down to what the labour mps do, because if the choice on offer to mps is the deal they have managed to get haggled with the eu, the withdrawal deal and the transitional agreement or potentially nothing at all, you could find lots of labour mps saying they cannot risk the role of the

dice that would follow rejection of the deal, but that is a long way away and a lot could happen. theresa may has no majority which is why all this is almost impossible to predict. we will continue to talk about the uncertainty. thanks for joining us. residents on the east coast of the united states are bracing themselves for hurricane florence. this is south carolina's governor. florence has been fed a hurricane, no longer a tropical storm and that means it is over 75 speed macro and getting stronger. —— florence has been declared a hurricane, which means it is no longer a tropical storm and it is over 75 miles per hour. florence is on course to make landfall in north and south carolina on thursday. these pictures show us residents stocking up on essential supplies. they're expecting heavy flooding, high winds and possible power outages. a state of emergency has been declared in north and south carolina and virginia.

it's thought it could be the strongest storm to hit the region in two decades. bbc weather‘s chris fawkes joins us. what about florence? this is florence. you can see clearly in the middle of the storm there is an eye and that has been upgraded. it is now a category four hurricane. that is on now a category four hurricane. that isona now a category four hurricane. that is on a five—point scale. it is forecast to get even stronger than that, we are talking that sustained winds of 150 miles per hour. that is forecast to track towards the coastline of north carolina and probably quite late on thursday, thursday evening. it is the combination of the damaging destructive winds as well as a massive storm surge and that is where the ocean is lifted up and slammed into the coastline on the northern side of the hurricane. it is also the mid atlantic states

affected. and also torrential rain. it isa affected. and also torrential rain. it is a triple whammy in many respects. you have marked three storms. yes, there are some others. this one isn't looking as well—defined, but this is also a hurricane, isaac. one of the ironies with arrogance is that they hate strong winds —— the ironies with hurricanes. we think this one will go to the leeward islands and then further out in the pacific we have another system which looks like being a good call for the strongest typhoon in the pacific this year. it isa typhoon in the pacific this year. it is a very powerful storm at the moment and this is forecast to become a violent typhoon. then romaine lettuce could reach the winds could reach up to 180 mph. this continues in a west

north—westerly direction and it might impact in hong kong as we head into the weekend. there is always uncertainty about the track could change, but somewhere along the south coast of china could be in big trouble. why do some of these storms have defined centres and others we cannot see at all. with isaac, it is the strong winds blown over these whole circulation which distorts the eye. you have winds around the eye wall itself but in the sense of the hurricane the air descends and that clears the eye because it warms on its way down. that is why with strong hurricanes you get a clear eye in the middle. nowl know. don't forget you can get much more detail on our top stories on our website. thre is full coverage on the bbc news website or you can download the bbc news app.

in australia — there's one person decides who gets let into the country. this man — peter dutton — he's home affairs minister right now. previously he was minister for immigration. and in both roles he has had the power to intervene in certain cases if he feels it's in the public interest. in 2015 he did just that in cases involving two european au pairs. one was from italy, the other from france. both were allowed in despite his department recommending against it because of concerns they may work and then breach their tourist visas. mr dutton denies doing anything

wrong — here he is a week ago. the ministerial pala has always been there under liberal and labour ministers. it has been used sensibly, i think. the cases raise the question of influence. given the minister receives so many requests to intervene in visa cases, why did he pick these two — and why did the visas get granted so quickly? courtney bembridge now. in australia the immigration minister has an enormous amount of power. in the us the agencies do the samejob. so power. in the us the agencies do the same job. so there power. in the us the agencies do the samejob. so there is power. in the us the agencies do the same job. so there is a power. in the us the agencies do the samejob. so there is a lot power. in the us the agencies do the same job. so there is a lot of power and it is used in cases that the minister deems are in the public interest. there were 2000 cases in 2015 which is the year that these all pairs were granted visas. it is not unusual but what is unusual is

that there were tourist cases. in many cases they are the bees as he steps into, but the risk for a tourist being sent back to their home country is quite low compared to refugees. you would expect him to step into the more serious cases rather than step into a tourist case. do we know how the minister came to be taking the —— taking such a keen interest in these tourists? they were linked to high profile australia's, one was linked to a liberal party donor which is the party of peter dutton. the question is whether he was doing favours for mates. he denies that and he said he did not know the all pairs. but we have had e—mails released quite recently which show that one of the men at least said, hello, peter,

long time between calls, quite a friendly manner. presumably peter dutton has some politicians who would not mind seeing him get in trouble? this could be a house of cards style move, but that remains to be seen. there are questions, these cases when 2015, questions about whether he used his powers appropriately at the time but also whether he misled parliament by saying he had no relationship with these people. you detailsjest he has. —— new details suggest for top and there could also be a third case so this could be the tip of the iceberg and maybe his detractors are trickling out this information so as to be more damaging, but the questions remain over whether those powers we re questions remain over whether those powers were misused. the broader context is that the liberal party in the last ten years has made a stance of being tough on immigration, very

tough in some cases, but this doesn't square with that image. absolutely. in this case, in one of them, he used the words humanitarian and said he granted the tourist visas in the interests of australia asa humane visas in the interests of australia as a humane society, but that does not fit in with their hardline approach to immigration. asylum seekers are sent overseas to processing centres that have been very controversial in terms of the treatment of asylum seekers there. thanks to courtney. now the latest investigation from the bbc‘s africa eye team. it's been loking at a kenyan special police unit that's accused of extra—judicial killings. this report comes from jamal osman in the capital kenya 5 capital — and we should warn you it contains graphic footage fron the beginning. in march 2017 this film went viral.

it shows a plainclothes policeman shoot dead what appears to be two unarmed man. the shooter is still serving as head of the special police unit with a mandate to rid the streets of gangsters and criminals. there is no compromise. many locals love him. this man is hunting and killing criminals and not taking bribes. we pray for him in the mosque, may god reward them. they have brought security and we support them 100%. isn't it better to kill a thief before he kills you? some condemn him. we cannot take the

bullet and gun approach, you are innocent until proven guilty. we are now using shotguns and this is a sad state of affairs because it speaks toa state of affairs because it speaks to a complete breakdown of law and order. this is home to around a quarter of a million people, one of the biggest slums in nairobi. this is where police say the gang ‘s hideout. this man wants to root them out. he responds to a call from a man who has been robbed. they have taken some items. i need everyone to move into the area. they are only armed with one firearm and the rest are carrying knives. they are trying to flush out suspected gangsters into the arms of their waiting colleagues. they find one of the

the africa eye investigations. the un has warned that thousands would be displaced in idlib in syria — and now it's happening. more than 30,000 have left their homes after bombardments by government forces, backed by russia and iran. idlib is the last rebel—held stronghold in syria — so this is a major prize for the government. but the un's warning is that the prize cannot be seized without a humanitarian catastrophe. here's more from yolande knell. there's no tranquillity in rural idlib. rescue workers rush to help survivors of another blast. this injured boy, another casualty of the intense bombardment by syrian government forces and their allies. here, it's a frantic scramble to rescue elderly villagers from what's left of their home. increasingly, this looks like the build—up to a

major military offensive. and that worries un officials. there needs to be ways of dealing with this problem that don't turn the next few months in idlib into the worst humanitarian catastrophe, with the biggest loss of life of the 21st century. in recent days, over 30,000 syrians have fled from their homes in southern idlib and nearby rebel held areas — according to the un. others staying behind, resort to desperate means to try to protect themselves. this man, putting together a makeshift gas mask. the syrian government says it's targeting terrorists. this area is the last stronghold for many different opposition groups. islamist militants, jihadists linked to al-qaeda and secular rebels. but the un warns that for every rebel fighter, there are 100 syrian civilians now in danger. yolande knell, bbc news, beirut. after a weekend of rumour,

it's been confirmed — jack ma, is stepping down as the head of alibaba. he's done well for himself. alibaba is one fo the biggest online retailers in the world — he started it in 1999 when he was an english teacher. he is now worth over $36billion. mr ma says he plans to spend his time focusing on philanthropy and education. he will hand over to daniel zhang, the first transition of its kind for any of china's major tech firms. a plan for ma to hand over the reigns has appaprently been in the pipeline for some time. dave lee is in san francisco. the quote from jack ma that he made

regarding his departure, that sums it up. he was a forming this teacher. he says good teachers like to carry on succeeding —— he was a former english teacher. the stock is down on the use of his departure but i think investors will be confident in his replacement. daniel zang has been at the firm many years and he is achievement was to come up with the single stake stab again set, day in china where people who are single celebrate that fact —— singles day. it is celebrated more than black friday and cyber monday combine. it isa friday and cyber monday combine. it is a massive draw and he is the man who will be eventually becoming the chairman of the year today. he will ta ke chairman of the year today. he will take over from jack ma. the changing

of the guard of honour china's most well known and much loved entrepreneurs, a household name, synonymous with alibaba, he started it 20 years ago now, because he could not buy chinese beer online. it has come along way since then! cynthia nixon is still best known for playing miranda in sex and the city — but this thursday she's hoping to become the democratic nominee for governor. she's got her work cut out — she's against the incumbent andrew cuomo. and her tactic has been to head left — she describes herself as a democratic socialist — and she's promising policies with increased funding for public schools and more supportive healthcare plans. nada tawfik has this report. stepping into a new role, cynthia nixon puts in face time with voters. many already know her as miranda from the hit hbo series, sex and the city. but she wants them to picture her as the next governor of new york. when we say black lives matter,

we have to actually mean it. the state under her opponent, andrew cuomo, has passed some of the most progressive policies in the nation. but cynthia nixon thinks more has to be done to reverse crippling inequality and to guarantee access to quality education, health care and jobs. if you shoot for the moon, you end up with the stars. if you don't try and enact these things, you'll never get anywhere. so we have to be bold and we have to be ambitious with our vision. progressives want to push democrats further to the left and a key part of that is disrupting politics as usual. in their view, established politicians are often part of the problem and that has left an opening for a diverse range of candidates to step in. the governor of new york is not a job about politics or advocacy, it is about doing, it is about management. this is real life. andrew cuomo has tried to make the race about experience and fighting donald trump.

at this debate nixon's supporters refer her credentials as an activist. she is far behind in the polls, but there have been upset in democratic primaries and they are energised as ever. democrats come to communities of colour and they say the right things, they give away food, whatever the case may be, but they don't back it up. it is like a shakedown, they get our vote. politics here is so dominated by corporate interests, they have a stranglehold on our system. we need people who are willing to be bold and courageous. it has got to the point with the election of trump, people are saying, we cannot do this any more, we cannot sit here with centrists and fight far right policies. but not all democrats are convinced lunging to the left will win a race against republicans in more conservative districts. there could be a real revolution,

but more likely it will be part of a long—term change in democrats to make them be what they once were, which is the left, the real left in this country. cynthia nixon's celebrity has put the spotlight on the governor's race in new york and the wider contrast on the party's identity. studio: voting is on thursday. coming up next we have the news at ten o'clock. over the next few days we had the jet stream running west to east across the uk, feeding in weather systems, mainly affecting the northern half of the uk, and the tuesday we have a weather system bringing very windy weather to begin

the day and also outbreaks of rain. a blustery start to the day and it remains blustery throughout the afternoon. plenty of heavy showers across western scotland and sunshine further south but it will be a damp day through central and southern areas of england and wales, but the south—east, given some sunshine, the orange colours moving in. we could see temperatures reaching maybe 23, 24, but further north it will feel much cooler and fresher. the weather front will be stationary through central areas for awhile but that will move as we head into wednesday, slowly slipping south—east and introducing the fresh air even into the south—east by the end of the day. the wind will be confined to the south—east so a wet end to the day there. temperatures in the mid to high teens and a cooler field day there. temperatures in the mid to high teens and a coolerfield of things across the south and

south—east. —— cooler feel to things. we are all into the cooler air by this point on thursday, another area of low pressure moving into the northern half of the country and for the end of the week it will remain on niggle side for everyone, fairly unsubtle, especially the further north you are -- it especially the further north you are —— it will remain on the cool side for everyone. much of england and wales close to the ridge of high pressure and it should start fine with plenty of sunshine on thursday with plenty of sunshine on thursday with cloud in the afternoon, and temperatures could reach 20 in the south—east, otherwise there will be a cool feel further north. friday, another area of low pressure expected to push into the northern half of the country so conditions go downhill. first thing for northern ireland with heavy rain. the rain pushing into scotland. the midlands

and south of that should see a largely dry day with sunshine and variable cloud again. 18 further north. in the weekend we start to see a more south—westerly direction for the wind so that is a warmer direction with sunshine in england and wales it could feel a bit warmer. further north, blustery with sunshine and showers. the jet stream is pretty important to what goes on for the weekend. we lose the west east orientation with a plunge of cold air moves into the north atlantic, bringing a dip to thejet which means it will be steering weather systems to the north. west of the uk there is warmer air. thanks to the area of high pressure. northern and western parts of the country could stay on niggle side for the weekend and beyond —— on the cool side. further south and east it

will be war. but there remains plenty of uncertainty —— further south and east it will be warmer. it could get quite interesting. tonight at 10: there could be a brexit deal within weeks, according to the eu, but they say it depends on realistic negotiation. with just 200 days to brexit day, the eu's chief negotiator has raised the prospect of agreement within two months. if we are realistic, i want to reach an agreement on the first stage of this

negotiation, which is the brexit treaty, within six or eight weeks. but theresa may has been warned again, by senior colleagues, that her chequers plan could turn part of the conservative party against her. there are almost 80 colleagues already who are willing to vote in the house of commons to protest the chequers deal. it would leave us half in and half out — it's not leaving the eu properly. we'll have the latest on the brexit process at westminster and in brussels.
