welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is lewis vaughanjones. our top stories: brazil's right—wing congressman, jair bolsonaro, takes a commanding lead in the presidential election, but he'll face a run—off with leftist rival, fernando haddad. saving lives, saving endagered species. climate scientists warn we need immediate and far—reaching action to prevent a dangerous rise in global temperatures. tributes are paid to the twenty people killed in a car crash involving a stretch limousine in the us state of new york. and after their dramatic cave rescue, the boys from thailand are back on the football field as special guests at the youth olympics in argentina. far—right candidate jair bolsonaro has won the most

votes in the first round of the presidential elections in brazil. with virtually all the votes counted, mr bolsonaro has 46%. it's a stunning result for the former army officer who's promised to tackle crime and corruption. in the second round run—off, he will face the candidate of the left—wing workers‘ party, fernando haddad who polled 29%. that vote will take place in three weeks. earlier i spoke to the bbc‘s camilla costa, who has been following the vote in sao paulo. at this point, we have a confirmation. we have 97% — almost 98% of the votes counted, and we do have confirmation that brazil is going to have a second round. which also confirms the kind of polarisation, the kind of divisiveness that we have seen in both of those elections, that have been called unprecedented in brazilian history so far. and if people watching

on may not know great deal about jair bolsonaro, he has been in politics a long time, but also seen as an outsider. what kind of character is he? well, he's been a congressman for 27 years. he's a former army captain. and he sort of entered into politics defending the rights of military men and policemen. but, over the years, his discourse has veered a lot more towards conservative issues. so he presents himself as someone who is going to tackle corruption, and who will have a harder stance against violence and crime in brazil. he defends relaxing gun laws, giving more authorisation for police actions in brazil. so he has that kind of appeal, in a country that has been grappling with a rise in the number of homicides in the past few years. and there is, of course, now the run—off election in three weeks‘ time.

he obviously goes into that in a strong position. is it a done deal, or is there any chance that he doesn't win that? well, some specialists do say that they think it's still quite an open field, because the rejection to jair bolsonaro is quite high, as well. almost 45% of the voters in previous polls say that they actually reject him. but many, on the other hand, say they would vote for him just so the workers‘ party does not come back to power. so it‘s still quite an open field, apparently. candidate jair bolsonaro is also a very controversial character. he‘s been called sexist, racist and homophobic, so there‘s a lot of that that might still play out into the next round. we‘ve seen a huge movement of women against him in brazil, and they are already talking about new marches in the coming weeks. scientists and representatives

from nearly 200 governments have been meeting in south korea to agree a new report urging more ambitious global warming targets. it‘s just been released and in it the intergovernmental panel on climate change says increases in temperatures should be capped at 1.5 degrees celsius above pre—industrial levels. they warn countries that the existing target of 2 degrees, adopted in the paris agreement of 2015, is no longer enough. our environment correspondent, matt mcgrath, has been folowing events in incheon, south korea. he said the ipcc report was the most critical and controversial for many years. that‘s right, lewis. they have certainly not held back in their language. they are talking here about unprecedented changes in society are needed to essentially keep temperatures to 1.5 degrees this century. they have looked at this particular

figure for the last three years, and the reportjust published in the hall behind me here has talked about the fact that, really, if we were to keep temperatures to 1.5 degrees, over two, there are many benefits for society. millions of people face less danger from sea level rise at 1.5 degrees of warming than two degrees. so they‘re talking about things like coral reefs, a whole range of animals and plants. so they say there are many benefits to doing this. but doing this will be an incredible challenge for the world, and they have been laying out today the details of that challenge. and they are basically saying that the two degrees target that lots of us will be familiar with, which was agreed back in 2015, is now not even enough, so that changes to 1.5. i think people will follow that. but there is a huge amount that all governments right across the world have to do to even get close to achieving that. absolutely, and they laid that out pretty clearly in the terms of the report today. they are talking about carbon emissions from power generation, from cars, from everything. they would have to halve

essentially, reduce by 45%, over the next ten years. the whole world as a whole would have to be net—zero emissions by 2050. that is, essentially, any carbon put out would have to be abated by planting trees, so the world would have to stop doing that. renewables would have to produce 85% of our electricity by 20110, and there would be no place for coal. many countries are investing in coal, or have invested in coal, so getting rid of all of that in the next 20 or 25 years poses an incredible challenge for the world. but i think the thing about this report is that the authors are saying it is doable. it‘s up to politicians to decide if they want to do that. what are some of the concrete examples of things they warn could happen, things like countries disappearing underwater? they are very clear that the changes of two degrees, if that is what happens, would be very bad for the world. at this moment in time,

we‘ve already had one degree of warming. at the end of this century, at the current rate of knots, we would be at least three, and that would be catastrophic. it would leave many pacific islands facing a very uncertain future. it would have changes for all of the world. they‘re saying don‘t take those risks. keep warming at1.5, and even then there would be a lot of damage, but it would be an awful lot less than what would happen if we continue as we are. us secretary of state mike pompeo has met the south korean president, moonjae—in, in seoul to brief him on his meeting with north korea‘s leader in pyongyang. mr pompeo says progress has been made on the agreements reached in singapore injune, when kimjong—un met president trump. i spoke to our correpondent, laura bicker, in seoul a little earlier and asked her if a second summit between president trump and kimjong—un is now more likely. i think it is rather likely. donald trump tweeted in the last few

hours saying that he looked forward to meeting chairman kim in the near future. i think we‘re all wondering how near that future may be, and any significant locations for that second summit. i think when it comes to, however, the progress made in pyongyang by the us secretary of state, mike pompeo, he‘s remaining quite tightlipped. i think there‘s a bit of disappointment here in seoul that either more progress hasn‘t been made, or that they haven‘t had more information about it. mr pompeo will leave in the next couple of hours to head to beijing to update president xi about his visit. but he did hail the meeting as productive, and we‘ve heard from the us state department that the north koreans are willing to allow in inspectors to have a look at the punggye—ri nuclear test site. now, this is their only known nuclear test site. it was blown up in front of reporters earlier this year. there was a lot of criticism that it was done in front

of correspondents such as myself rather than in front of inspectors. but it does seem that they will allow in inspectors in this time. the downsides are that many analysts will point out the north koreans don‘t need that site anymore. they‘re capable of launching missiles from mobile launch sites, they perhaps don‘t need a nuclear test site in the way punggye—ri was set up. but at least it is a confidence—buiilding step, if they‘re willing to allow inspectors in. yeah, that‘s an interesting development on the inspectors, because in the buildup to the last summit, and the fallout from it, there was a big stand—off over what does denuclearisation mean, with both sides coming at it with quite different definitions. is there any sign that they‘re a bit closer together now? no, one of the key things they were looking at from seoul was this "end of war" declaration. for new listeners and viewers,

the korean war ended in 1953, but it didn‘t quite end, it only ended with an armistice. they‘s never been a peace treaty. both north and south korea have signed declarations that they want to try to end the korean war by the end of this year. we‘re running out of time now. the us is unwilling to give the koreas this, because they feel that this would be too much of a concession at this time, while north korea is not showing any real signs that they‘re willing to hand over their nuclear weapons and disarm. so this is one of the things they were looking for here. but, in terms of verifiable denuclearisation, letting inspectors in is a first step, even if they wouldn‘t need this nuclear site any more. i think other analysts might turn round to you and say, "hang on a second, they need to inspect other sites and be

allowed in in free rein," but i think this would at least be some step forward. chineses authorities in beijing have confirmed that the missing interpol chief is in the country and being investigated for suspected violations of the law. meng hongwei had been missing since he flew to china at the end of september. interpol says it has received his resignation. daniel mckerrell reports. after nearly two weeks of silence, china has confirmed meng hongwei is being held in their custody. beijing say he‘s being investigated by the country‘s anticorruption body for unspecified breaches of the law. soon after that announcement, interpol said it had received mr meng‘s resignation as president with immediate effect. meng hongwei‘s family have not heard from him since the 25th of september, when he flew to china from the french city of lyon, where interpol is based. the last message his wife received was this image of a knife, which she says signified danger.

grace meng has given a tearful press conference with her back to the cameras to avoid being identified. speaking in both mandarin and english, she asked for the international community to intervene. also, i can‘t see my husband. we are always connected by heart. he would support me doing this. the matter belongs to fairness and justice. the matter belongs to the international community. the matter belongs to the people of my motherland. beijing says meng hongwei is being investigated by the national supervisory commission, which was set up earlier this year to combat corrupt public servants. he‘s the latest high—profile disappearance in china, where a number of top government officials, billionaires and even an a—list celebrity have vanished in recent months. earlier this week, actress fan bingbing, who disappeared in china injuly, emerged with a public apology and a fine of 833 million yuan, £98.9 million, for tax evasion and other offences.

meng hongwei was once in the centre of international law enforcement, but he has now fallen foul of laws at home. how long it will be until he is released, and at what cost, is still far from clear. daniel mckerrell, bbc news. an investigation has started after 20 people were killed in a crash involving a stretch limousine in upstate new york. police say that passengers travelling in the vehicle wouldn‘t have been required to wear seatbelts. the accident happened on saturday afternoon. lebo diseko has the story. it‘s a day that should have been filled with celebration. instead, emergency services are at the scene of america‘s worst transportation accident in almost a decade. it‘s thought the 18 people in the limousine were on their way to a party when their car came off the road and hit two pedestrians.

all of them died. 20 fatalities is just horrific. i‘ve been on the board for 12 years, and this is one of the biggest losses of life... loss of lives that we‘ve seen in a long, long time. colgan air up at buffalo killed a0 people... 50 people, but this is the most deadly transportation accident in this country since february, 2009. this is the junction where the crash happened. it‘s thought the limo failed to stop, veering out of control and ploughing into this cafe. i heard this loud bang. i came out and i saw a lot of people up here at the apple barrel out in the parking lot, and then i heard screaming. i walked up and i could see this large van, very unusual—looking vehicle for out here in schoharie, in the bushes, and really wrecked, hit a tree. it‘s still not clear why the driver apparently lost control, or the exact cause of the accident.

investigators are expected to be on the ground for at least five days. the victims won‘t be officially named until all of their families are informed. lebo diseko, bbc news. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: we have more from brazil, where the front—runner for president is the far—right politician, jair bolsonaro. this was a celebration by people who were relishing their freedom. they believe everything‘s going to be different from now on. they think their country will be respected in the world once more, as it used to be before slobodan milosevic took power. the dalai lama, the exiled spiritual leader of tibet, has won this year‘s nobel peace prize. as the parade was reaching its climax, two grenades exploded, and a group of soldiersjumped from a military truck taking part in the parade and ran

towards the president, firing from kalashnikov automatic rifles. after 437 years, the skeletal ribs of henry viii's tragic warship emerged. but, even as divers work to buoy her up, the mary rose went through another heart—stopping drama. i want to be the people‘s governor. i want to represent everybody. i believe in the people of california. this is bbc world news. the latest headlines: in brazil, jair bolsonaro and fernando haddad will be the two front runners for 0ctober‘s presidential election. climate scientists say "we must do better". researchers redouble efforts and push for a new strategy to tackle global warming.

let‘s stay with that story now. earlier i spoke to cleuci de 0liveira, an independentjournalist based in brasilia. i asked herjust how polarised had politics become in brazil. it‘s become extremely polarised in brazil. just so you have an idea... this is the first time over the past six elections that the centre—right party is not in the running in the run—off. now we have a candidate who is on the leftist the side and one on the far right, as you know, jair bolsonaro represents some very extreme beliefs here in brazil. we know his military background and during the campaign promised to crack down on corruption, for people who don‘t know much about him, how right—wing

is he and how worried are some in the country about what he would do? for starters, he recently said that the policemen who shoot to kill shouldn‘t be penalised as much and should actually be rewarded with medals, that‘s one of the platforms of his campaign, he will ensure that policemen have ample space to do theirjob and with that comes certain protections to shoot and possibly execute people. that‘s one of his extremist ideas. other things that he has constantly talked about, how he doesn‘t think, for instance, brazil should have any protections in the amazon, which now indigenous people are unhappy about. he‘s said he will merge the agricultural department of the government with the environmental department, considering he has a lot of support from the agricultural lobby, it gives an idea which of the two departments will be best represented

in this merger. sorry to interrupt there, but what about the opponent in the head—to—head run—off, what chance does he have? fernando haddad needs to get all the votes from the other candidates that didn‘t make it into the run—off to compete with bolsonaro. bolsonaro has between 46% and 47% of the votes. haddad will need to get above that, unless bolsonaro loses support, which personally, from my experience watching the elections here, i don‘t see that happening. let‘s get some of the day‘s other news. the authorities in indonesia say the search for more victims of the sulawesi earthquake and tsunami will stop this thursday, nearly two weeks after the disaster struck. no survivors have been found since last monday. more than 1,700 people are known to have died and about 5,000 are missing. a referendum on a proposal to ban

gay marriage in romania has been declared invalid, after too few people voted. officials say the turnout was just over 20%, well below the threshold required. police in turkey are continuing their investigations into the unexplained disappearance of a high profile saudi journalist inside its consulate in istanbul. jamal khashoggi, who was often critical of the saudi government, entered the consulate last tuesday but hasn‘t been seen since. saudi arabia has denied mr khashoggi was murdered. mark lowen sent this report from istanbul. five days ago, jamal khashoggi arrived at this consulate building and seemed to vanish. turkey‘s allegations are explosive, that he was killed inside the consulate building. that‘s been fiercely denied by the saudi authorities. jamal khashoggi has been a strident critic

of the new saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman, who has been praised internationally for softening his country‘s austere image but has clamped down very hard on opponents. so, was jamal khashoggi one of his latest victims? jamal khashoggi, mysteriously disappeared or brutally murdered? the high—profile journalist and saudi dissident has long been a thorn in the side of his government. he hasn‘t been seen since entering the saudi consulate in istanbul last tuesday to get marriage papers. his turkish fiancee waiting outside sounded the alarm when he didn‘t emerge. turkey says it believes mr khashoggi was killed in the consulate in a premeditated murder involving a saudi hit squad who removed his body. the saudis called that baseless, touring a camera crew around

the consulate, opening cupboards in a bizarre attempt to show the journalist is not inside. they claim he left the building and don‘t know where he is. translation: i would like to confirm that the citizenjamal is not at the consulate nor in the kingdom of saudi arabia, and the consulate and the embassy are working to search for him, and we are worried about his case. the turkish president said police are examining cctv footage, and called mr khashoggi a friend. and, after the claims of assassination, he sounded a little more cautious. translation: my expectations are still positive. god willing, we do not face a situation that we do not want. his fiancee‘s hopes are the same. if it‘s proved that jamal khashoggi‘s life ended here, it would plunge already strained turkey—saudi relations into crisis and could also force london, washington and other western governments to radically rethink their embrace of prince mohammed bin salman. the new saudi image would no longer be one of reform, but of state—sponsored

murder on foreign soil. from exile in the us, he wrote for the washington post. it left a blank space forjamal khashoggi‘s regular article, saying it would be monstrous and unfathomable if he‘d been killed. commentator, critic, columnist — the man who went to his consulate to help him get married now the subject of an international murder inquiry. mark lowen, bbc news, istanbul. the 12 thai boys who were rescued from a flooded cave injuly have been playing a friendly game of football at the youth olympics in argentina. the team and their coach, who spent more than 2 weeks stuck underground, were guests at the opening ceremony. eliza philippidis reports. these are the wild boars taking on argentina‘s rivers under 13s playing at river plate‘s monumental stadium in buenos aires. the squad, kitted out in violet

jerseys, looked strong in the hour—long match, but even after careful planning, the game ended a 3—3 draw. they were celebrated and honoured at the opening ceremony by the ioc president, thomas bach. jabalies salvajes, wild boars. rescuer: how many of you? onjune the 23rd, they became trapped in an underwater cave, and survived on water dripping from rocks before they were discovered by divers. a dramatic rescue effort ended on july the 10th when they were brought out safely after an ordeal that made headlines around the world. the boys said they were excited to be involved in the youth olympics, and were given a plaque as a reminder of the friendly game against the home team. eliza philippidis, bbc news. now before we go, have a look at these pictures. keep an eye on the people

good morning. some autumn warmth to come in the week ahead, but before that, i just want to concentrate on the rain. it was a pretty miserable sunday across the far north—west of scotland, a lot of low cloud, it was windy at times and there was some rain, some of it persistent. a couple of inches of rain has already fallen in parts of the north—west of scotland already, and there‘s more wet weather to come for the next couple of days. so i just want to concentrate on this rain, notjust extending through scotland at the moment, but right out into the atlantic. we‘re going to see a plume of moist airjust feeding in off the atlantic, and it could bring some localised flooding. before the next couple of days is through, we could see at least 100—200 millimetres of rain fall. so it stays wet here. a south—westerly flow, more cloud across the south—west, but here it will be largely dry. if we look at the afternoon in a little more detail, you can see how heavy the rain will be sitting across the western isles, into the north—west of scotland, and a little bit of showery rain

just fringing the far north northern ireland as well. further south of that, yes, we will see that south—westerly wind a little more cloud coming in off the west—facing coast, but it should continue to thin and break in sheltered eastern areas and we should start to see those temperatures responding just a touch. so highest values not out of the question of 18 degrees in the far east. now, as we move out of monday into tuesday, almost a repeat performance. we‘ve got this weather front feeding in cloud, wind and rain across the extreme north—west. the south—westerly flow drives in mild air and we‘ll see with a little more sunshine and less cloud around temperatures up to highs of 20 degrees. as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, we‘ll start to see a subtle change. yes, it does look as though there‘s the potential for some ea rly—morning mist and fog forming first thing on wednesday morning, but hopefully we‘ll keep more of a breeze to help lift that fog across england and wales and the winds will swing round to more of a southerly. the warmth is coming in from the near continent, it‘ll get warmer still,

it‘ll help to push the weather front out of the way back up into the far north. a drier day for scotland, warmer day for all, could see 19 or 20 degrees in scotland, we could see 23 or 2a, and we haven‘t seen temperatures like that in england for the 10th of october for over a0 years. it looks as though it‘ll stay largely fine and dry on thursday, but friday sees some wetter weather, and that unfortuantely sets us up potentially for a spell of wet and windy weather as we move towards the weekend. a lot of uncertainty with this at the moment, but certainly worth bearing in mind if you‘ve got outdoor plans. take care. this is bbc news, the headlines: the front—runner in brazil‘s presidential election is far—right politician jair bolsonaro, who was stabbed on the campaign trail last month. he‘s ahead of the left—wing workers party candidate, fernando haddad. the next round of votes will take place at the end of october. climate scientists say the world must act rapidly

to prevent a dangerous rise in its temperature. the intergovernmental panel says massive changes will be needed to keep global warming to below 1.5 degrees celsius. these include changes to the food we eat and the way energy is generated. police in turkey are continuing their investigations into the disappearance of the saudi arabian journalist jamal khashoggi from the kingdom‘s consulate in istanbul. saudi arabia has denied mr khashoggi was murdered in the consulate when he went to collect documents for his forthcoming marriage. scottish national party leader nicola sturgeon has said her party‘s 35 mps would vote in favour of another eu referendum
