hope. after days under the rubble, rescu e rs hope. after days under the rubble, rescuers managed to release this man from his concrete tomb. the authorities have confirmed there was authorities have confirmed there was a fault with the tsunami detection system. a warning was sent out, but but it appears to have underestimated the scale of the waves, and many didn't get the alerts because of power cuts. when the flooding hit, this mother picked up the flooding hit, this mother picked up her two children and ran. we were running for our lives. waves chasing us. running for our lives. waves chasing us. it was a race between us and the waves. it's like a bad dream. when this help going to arrive? when will the government pay attention to us? rescuers face a massive task, especially in trying to reach remote areas. foreign aid is on its way. uk aid stands ready 24/7 to help and such circumstances and in addition

to the work we do without on the on the ground, the un and the red cross, we have also made some additionalfunding cross, we have also made some additional funding available to help with immediate need, and following a request from the indonesian government, we have employed a team of disaster response experts. thousands are desperately trying to escape the disaster zone, with commercialflights escape the disaster zone, with commercial flights limited at the small, damaged airport in palu, the military has put on services to help with the evacuation. let's bring you live pictures from palu in indonesia where the rescue operations are continuing. as we have been hearing, it is extremely difficult to get too many areas, and many who are in the most remote areas are not getting any help. there is no water, no aid, no food. it isa there is no water, no aid, no food. it is a very difficult situation. irwan firdaus is from 0xfam indonesia, and joins me live from makassar in southern sulawesi. just tell us about what you are

flyby aeroplane, but since there is still a limited capacity of the airport in palu, we have to go by road, unfortunately. and here in makassar, we are preparing to buy a material to support us as well, as well as material that we can support the survivors of the earthquake in palu. so we plan to have, at least in our plan, clean water at several points in palu. because at the moment water is one of the main problems in palu. another thing, as you have said just now, in palu there is no electricity. people

still are trying to have foods and drinks. there are reports that people still cannot have food for the last three days. so that is the situation in palu. and that is why, even as volunteers or the ones who wa nt to even as volunteers or the ones who want to support, people have to be prepared as well with ground materials, food, drink, including tents, torches, as well as other necessities. thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate the fact that you are preparing for that very difficult journey. we that you are preparing for that very difficultjourney. we will check in with you again. thank you. as and

when we get more detail and can speak to some of our correspondence we re speak to some of our correspondence were also there, we will update you on the situation in indonesia —— correspondents who are also there. president trump now says he does want a comprehensive fbi investigation into historic allegations of sexual assault againstjudge brett kavanaugh, the man he has nominated for a seat on the us supreme court. judge kavanaugh faces allegations of assault by several women, which he has denied. but now, a former classmate of his has said he was not telling the truth about his drinking in the past. 0ur north america editorjon sopel reports from washington. after the traumatic "she said," and the defiant "he said," and the bitter division over the nomination of brett kavanaugh to the supreme court, the fbi has now been given a week to investigate the allegations. but at a rose garden news conference, the president was repeatedly asked, would investigators be free to talk to whoever they liked? i think the fbi should interview anybody that they want, within reason. but you have to say, "within reason." they should interview, but they should also be guided,

and i'm being guided, by what the senators are looking for, because they have to make the choice. and the president told me he still had an open mind onjudge kavanaugh. mr president, if the fbi does find something, and brett kavanaugh falls, is there a plan b? i don't want to talk about plan b, ‘cause i think — i hope that he gets approved. i hope that the report comes out, like i really think it should. ithink it will, i hope, i hope. but i'm waiting, just like you. certainly if they find something, i'm going to take that into consideration, absolutely. i have a very open mind. a prosecutor engaged by the republicans on the committee to question dr christine blasey ford has written to senators saying that, in her legaljudgement, because of the "he said, she said" nature of the claims... sometimes i probably had too many beers, and sometimes other people had too many beers.

we drank beer, we liked beer. but a college mate of brett kavanaugh has also come forward to say that the judge wasn't being honest when he spoke under oath about his drinking. and, on the subject of drinking, the teetotal president cracked a joke at his own expense. i can honestly say i never had a beer in my life, 0k? it's one of my only good traits — i don't drink. can you imagine, if i had, what a mess i'd be? what i'd be — i'd be the world's worst. the supreme court opened a new session today, still one person short, still far from clear that brett kava naugh will be the ninth justice.

let's brief you on some of the other stories making the news: save the children says suspected cholera cases have almost tripled in yemen's coastal hudaydah region, up from nealy 500 cases injune to more than 1,300 in august. the charity is renewing its call for all the warring parties to stop the fighting to help save lives. a new study from the netherlands indicates that almost a half of women and a third of men will develop dementia, parkinson's disease, or have a stroke during their lifetimes. the conditions predominantly affect older people, and the lower rate for men is because on average they don't live as long as women. new research suggests one of the greatest obstacles to deep—space travel could be tummy upsets. nasa scientists experimented on mice and discovered that radiation exposure on a long trip to mars or beyond could significantly damage astronauts' stomachs and intestines, ultimately leading to an inability to absorb nutrients, or even cancer. the british prime minister has been

expanding on her pledge to take back control of britain's borders once the uk has left the european union. she has confirmed there will be a single immigration, system with no preferential treatment for eu citizens. theresa may said the british government would end freedom of movement once and for all. her remarks come as borisjohnson prepares to address a fringe meeting at the conservative party conference later. priya lakhani, founder and ceo of century tech, a uk—based education technology platform, joins me now. good to see you. as per usual. this isa good to see you. as per usual. this is a really important story for the tech industry, isn't it? it is so

important. in this country we rely on immigration. it is, there are lots of sectors where we rely on european workers, but particularly with data related roles in business intelligence, there is a shortage. today we are a small company. we employ people in the uk, we employ a lot of british people as well. we are lot of british people as well. we a re really lot of british people as well. we are really struggling to find these techies with these skills. two years ago we were looking, and there were so many applications with people wanting to work into london and work with us. what they have dwindled so much, there is so much competition for them, it is impossible. and it is partly to do with competition. it is partly to do with competition. it is not just is partly to do with competition. it is notjust london which is desperate for these skilled workers, it is berlin, it is all the cities in europe. it is the world. and also companies in silicon valley have really struggled since the trump administration changed its immigration policies, and it has become a real problem. it is a

problem, and these are the companies that are helping economies to grow. we need that talent and so there is a new proposal that they will open the doors to skilled workers. what is really interesting is there is a notion that highly skilled workers will get priority and they will bring their immediate families are sponsored by the employer. what we have to be careful of is that there is not too much red tape. if this is a proposal to get these data scientists and engineers into london, and other companies paying the same as the us, what has to happen is that start—ups and scale ups do not continue to struggle. we will continue this discussion in the news briefing, because we have to talk about boris. we will have more on business briefing. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: tyson fury squares up to wbc heavyweight champion deontay wilder ahead of their world title fight in los angeles. in all russia's turmoil,

it has never come to this. president yeltsin said the day would decide the nation's destiny. the nightmare that so many people had feared for so long is playing out its final act here. russians are killing russians in front of a grandstand audience. it was his humility which produced affection from catholics throughout the world, but his departure is a tragedy for the catholic church. israel's right—winger, ariel sharon, visited the religious compound, and that started the trouble. he wants israel alone to have sovereignty over the holy sites — an idea that's unthinkable to palestinians. after 45 years of division, germany is one. in berlin, a million germans celebrate the rebirth of europe's biggest and richest nation.

you're watching the briefing. 0ur headlines — us supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh has been accused —— there's growing anger among survivors of indonesia's earthquake and tsunami — as they face a fourth day with no water, no power and little sign of help. us supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh has been accused of lying under oath about heavy drinking. president trump says he wants a comprehensive fbi investigation. protesters have clashed with police in barcelona as thousands took to the streets there and in other cities across catalonia to mark the first anniversary of a controversial referendum on independence from spain. more than 180,000 demonstrators marched in barcelona. police charged in to break up a demonstration in front of the catalan regional parliament. lebo diseko has more.

they say time heals all wounds, but this one is still raw — angry scenes between police and pro—independence protesters on the streets of barcelona. the demonstrators removed barricades and forced their way to the regional parliament, with some sticking up signs saying "republic under construction" on the door. riot officers charged in to break up the crowd, firing rubber bullets, using batons, and pulling people away from the building. for many, the violence will have echoes of this time last year, when police from outside catalonia forcibly stopped people from taking part in an illegal independence referendum — something still in people's minds as they gathered to protest earlier in the day, holding signs that read "no forgetting, no forgiveness." translation: we saw on television what beasts they were. it was total incivility —

but on their part, because we have not done anything. they remain defiant, but the pro—independence dream is at the very least on hold. many of their leaders are in prison or self—imposed exile, and madrid only lifted direct rule in june. translation: we are a little disappointed, because right now we're at a point where we see that independence isn't happening, and everything is very paralysed. the separatist movement may be vocal, but the strength of feeling for those who want to stay part of spain is just as strong. an opinion poll injuly suggested nearly 47% of catala ns want independence, while 45% don't. with feelings running so deep on both sides, this is a region still bitterly divided. now it's time to get all the latest from the bbc sports centre.

hello, i'm marc edwards. welcome to your tuesday sport briefing. lots to talk about — the champions league returns — with manchester city and united both in action together with roma, real madrid and juventus on tuesday. there's some lovely handbags and pantomime play fighting as fury and wilder square up in london, while caroline wozniacki blitzes bencic in beijing. hello there. it's matchday 2 of the uefa champions league and manchester united are gearing up for their clash with valencia but alot of the focus is on manager jose mourinho and his future at old trafford. the club has endured their worst start to a season for 29 years after suffering a 3—1 defeat at west ham at the weekend. mourinho has denied that another defeat would cost him hisjob and says it's everyone's responsibility. everybody in the club has a role to play. everybody has a role to play.

the nutritionist has a role to play. i have a role to play, everybody has a role to play. when we win we all win, when we lose we all lose. when we lose the responsibility is the responsibility of everyone. there was the usual big talk, pushing, shoving and general posturing as tyson fury and deontay wilder served up a slice of faux fighting at their press conference to announce the venue for their world heavyweight title slu gfest. it will take place on december 1st at the staples center in los angeles. it's only fury‘s third fight since coming back injune from more than 18 months out of the ring. they will fight for wilder's wbc belt, the only one fury didn't win off vladmir klitschko before having to give them up. it's hoped the winner will fight anthony joshua to become the undisputed world heavyweight champion. if you do to be great.

two fights, ten fights, what does it matter? i'm a fighting man, a boxing man, i have boxed and fought all my life, even fought to be sat here today. every day i wake up is a fight. deontay wilder does not have anything i'm afraid of, not at all. he does not possess anything i'm afraid of or scared of. to tennis now and world number two caroline wozniacki is through to the last sixteen of the china open after a straight sets win over belinda bencic. the former world one won three of her four break points in the first set and didnt let up in the second to take the match 6—2, 6—3.. the match 6—2, 6—3. she'll play petra martic of croatia in the next round. and a nice one doing the rounds on social media is of a referee getting involved in the play during a match in dagestan. i say involved and i mean involved. he actually scores! of dahadaevskiy.

this penalty kick was awarded when the score was 4—2. the ball bouncing off the head of the referee atay daudov — who seemed to feign injury and then proceeded to allow the goal to stand, which was weird. the game ended in a 4—4 draw. daudov later explained that, according to the rules, referees are active, so he had to allow the goal. you can get all the latest sports news at our website — that's bbc.com/sport. but from me marc edwards and the rest of the sport team — that is your tuesday sport briefing. when the bbc journalist wynford vaughan thomas joined the royal air force on an air raid over berlin in 1943, he had just a voice recorder to document what he witnessed. now 75 years later, virtual reality has added new depth to his words from that night with a visual interpretation of his famous report. robert hall reports.

0ctober got off to a chilly start, but something a bit milder and warmer for many of us over the next couple of days, initially on tuesday between these weather fronts, you can see the warm colours have started to move in. two weather fronts are close by, fair amount of cloud to be found, into northern ireland, a large part of england and wales with patchy rain and drizzle to begin tuesday, the best of the sunshine from north—east england into scotland. scotland will have the lion's share of the sunshine in the day ahead. showers rattling through the north on a strong wind and, well, when you start with cloud it should brighten up a little, but further south in northern ireland, north—west england and the west midlands, a chance of patchy rain even at this stage of the day at 4pm. and it will be blustery here, the winds are stronger, further north in northern england, especially into scotland, black arrows showing the gusts into northern scotland with gusts of 60 mph and the showers rattle through quite quickly on the wind. now, as we go on through tuesday evening, well, we are going to turn

things a little more chilly through eastern spots under the clear sky. but the cloud moving into the west and thickening with patchy rain and drizzle will serve to keep temperatures up. so an east—west split in temperatures as wednesday begins. now on wednesday this next weather system coming from the atlantic around the area of high pressure pushing this weather front our way will be the source of a fair amount of cloud, and particularly through parts of northern ireland, but mostly into western scotland, some patchy rain. and in north—west scotland later in the day, the rain will start to turn heavier. so, on through the day, then, cloud around wherever you are, but some bright or sunny spells and the lion's share of these will be across eastern parts of england. let's look at how thursday is shaping up, and, well, there could be some fog to begin the day where the wind is light

in southern england, slow to clear, in places, and some rain in northern ireland and scotland turning heavier through the day, some might be reaching into northern england later. it will turn cooler through the weekend, low pressure close by. some of us, but not all could see some heavy rain. we will keep you updated on that. this is the business briefing. i'm sally bundock: bumpy road ahead for the global car industry as it gathers in paris for the motor show — we talk to the bosses of the world's biggest car makers to get their take on tarrifs and brexit. and in a highly unusual move, the indian government steps in and rescues an infrastructure lender struggling under a $13 billion dept pile. we'll be live from delhi. and on the markets: hong kong has reopened. it was closed for the long weekend. you can
