in pakistan, the first funerals of some of the 7a people killed when fire ripped through a crowded train have been taking place. the fire is thought to have started when a cooking gas cylinder exploded. now it's time to look at the stories that are making the headlines in the media across the world. the daily telegraph, alongside many other outlets, are focusing on donald trump's suprise call in to brexit party leader nigel‘s farage‘s radio show. in the interview, he urged farage to make an elecorate pact with borisjohnson in the upcoming election, whilst also criticising the prime minister's brexit deal and uk opposition leaderjeremy corbyn. the president is not alone in taking aim at the labour leader. the financial times reports a number of business leaders have spoken out against mr corbyn‘s criticism of uk business, including sports direct ceo mike ashley.

sticking with criticising business, the guardian reports that human rights lawyers are set to bring what they describe as a landmark case against british american tobacco over the company's alleged use of child labour in malawi. another initiative to safeguard children on a staggering scale is taking place in delhi. there, an initiative begins to hand out 5 million gas masks to the city's children to protect them from the city's dangerous levels of smog. that is in the times. and finally, with the uk house of commons speaker having left his post, the mirror reports thatjohn bercow is considering a move into reality tv. they say he has so far priced himself out of the market. so let's begin with that call by donald trump in to nigel farage

on the lbc radio station, in which he offered both his advice to the brexit party leader and took fire at labour leaderjeremy corbyn. with me is mark davies, ceo of the strategy consultancy firm camberton. my my goodness me. i happen to be working yesterday evening when this phone call was taking place. we couldn't believe what we were listening to. this is the reality, isn't it, of politics these days. do you mean in terms of him phoning in all the advice that he was giving? that it was happening in the first place. there was also a webcam which shows nigel farage's face during the interview as well. quite something there. he has intervened in this general election, he has given his advice, he has criticised the opposition leader, he has praised the prime minister and criticised the prime minister and criticised the brexit deal. should he be doing any of this at all? no, there are two things. one is should he be doing it? the answer is clearly no

but donald trump does a lot of strange things so that shouldn't be entirely surprising. the second is is it good advice? that really depends on how you see the labour heartlands voting as a result of brexit. the reality is that the conservative party needs to win some seats, and there is a view out there that it can do so in places that wa nt to that it can do so in places that want to leave and voted very strongly to leave, but are traditionally labour seats. my own view is that there is no chance at all that those seats will vote conservative, because the conservative brand in those areas is toxic. they might well vote for the brexit party, so the question is whether some kind of a deal between those two parties will allow boris johnson to get over the number that he needs to be able to govern. because otherwise it is not entirely clear in this election where the conservative party will pick up

seats, given that it will lose some in scotland, it will probably lose some in south—west london. and there are some labour seats out there which had a very strong leave vote, for example dudley north, 70% plus, and the majority for the labour party in austin is less than i%, it is 0.1%. ten seats listed by the telegraph are potentially up for grabs for the brexit party. telegraph are potentially up for grabs for the brexit partym telegraph are potentially up for grabs for the brexit party. it will be really interesting, won't it? this radio interview was timed to precede the brexit party's party launch, which nigel farage is going to reveal, i suppose. he has candidates across the country, and they have already said, the conservative party, borisjohnson, has said they will not be doing a deal with nigel farage. there are people, of course, who would argue that the conservative party has moved significantly to the right a nyway moved significantly to the right anyway and has become the party of leave, so to that extent it may make

no difference. in fact, in the recent vote for boris johnson's deal, every single conservative mp voted for the deal. so in that respect it doesn't make any difference whether the brexit party is there or not. i don't personally think that they are going to be the force that some people are talking about. certainly the talk that is out there that they will win 20 plus seats is, i think, for the birds. looking at another aspect of this radio interview, donald trump being heavily critical of the opposition labour leader, jeremy corbyn. it appears, and the financial times has picked up on this, that donald trump is not the only fairly colourful character who has taken aim at jeremy corbyn at the moment. how much of a concern do you believe jeremy corbyn is for the business community, big business community? on the basis of what he said in his campaign launch yesterday, he obviously has them in his sights. i don't think they are going to be too concerned. mike ashley has hit back,

this is the financial times story. the difference with donald trump is that donald trump had a pop at jeremy corbyn unprovoked, whereas mike ashley has been responding to jeremy corbyn's launch. he is the only one of the various business leaders who has bothered to respond at all. the rest have not bothered to comment. frankly, why would they? what he has said about them appears to bea what he has said about them appears to be a scattergun approach against wealth. if you look at the people he has attacked, on the one hand you have mike ashley, self educated at sports direct, on the other hand you have the duke of westminster, a title created in 1874, a property owner in london, certainly not a self—made man. what these two people have in common is wealth, and probably nothing else. sojeremy corbyn doesn't appear to be attacking crony capitalism or the non—payment of taxes or any of the

things that you might be able to get some individuals for. he appears to have gone forjust some individuals for. he appears to have gone for just a scattergun approach that just says have gone for just a scattergun approach thatjust says i don't like people who have made money. that is obviously not going to go down with the likes of mr murdoch, one of the other people he criticised. he did, and various others. what he hasn't done is talk about what these people actually do, so mr radcliffe, yes, he lives offshore, but he has also put in off a lot of money into sport, for example. 0k. the guardian is running on its front page this story about british american tobacco, human rights lawyers preparing to in this case against them on behalf of hundreds of children they say were forced into poverty wages to work in the fields of malawi. it raises all these questions about the transparency of supply chains at all of these big companies, it doesn't matter whether it is tobacco or whether you are making tech. or t-shirts, in fact. this is a story that exists all

around the world and you are right when you talk about the supply chain. this is not people who are employed directly by british america tobacco. they are employed by the farmers from whom british america tobacco farmers from whom british america to ba cco by farmers from whom british america tobacco by their crops. so it will be interesting to see how it pans out. the guardian have run big on it because the guardian initially ran a story and a human rights lawyer is saying that had it not been for that story this case would not have been brought. there is an element of blowing their own trumpet there. but you are right, it does have implications. i would you are right, it does have implications. iwould have you are right, it does have implications. i would have thought that british america tobacco has got larger issues that it has to deal with, as in the increasing reduction in the amount of smoking that is taking place around the world. so the fall in the british america tobacco share price over the last couple of years is not precipitated by this kind of thing, but more structural issues for them. from child labour in malawi to child masks in india. 5 million facemasks to be issued to the children of

delhi to protect them from levels of smog pollution that are ten times above what is considered safe. is this really the right response to this really the right response to this sort of problem? no, there is a quote right in the middle of this article which i think sums it up, from a hotelier in delhi, saying tell me, please, how masks for children are a solution. it is totally cosmetic and ridiculous. the world air quality index has delhi at 907 at the airport, compared with central london at 95, and the next most polluted city is lahore at 179. so we are talking pollution levels that are pretty well off the scale compared with the rest of the world. and yes, this is a cosmetic response to that. very much a band-aid, isn't it? thank you for your thoughts. stay with us here on bbc news. so much more to come. hello.

the first few days of november look set to bring some wet and blustery and potentially some stormy weather across some parts of the uk. certainly an unsettled outlook, thanks to an area of low pressure. this is friday's weather chart. you can see the low drifting in from the west. bands of rain, these frontal systems, spiralling around the low. but with that low, we're going to develop a south—westerly flow across the uk, so at least for a time, it is going to feel milder. a milder start to the day on friday, but with that, we will have outbreaks of rain drifting into eastern england, starting to push northwards across scotland. then a slice of drier and potentially brighter weather before another band of rain pushes into northern ireland, wales and the south—west through the afternoon. it will be breezy, but not especially windy just yet. top temperatures of 9—16 degrees. now, during friday evening, the bands of rain will continue to drift north—eastwards. some dry interludes, but the winds will become

an increasing feature across the north and also down towards the south and the south—west. those winds turning really strong and gusty as we get into the first part of saturday morning. now, our area of low pressure as we get into saturday will be deepening. uncertainty about its exact shape and exact position, but it looks like there'll be a swathe of really strong winds potentially on the southern flank of the low, where you see those white lines, all of those isobars squashing together. so it looks most likely that we'll see strong wind blowing across the southern half of england and parts of wales, also a slice of windy weather across northern scotland, and we'll see bands of wet weather spiralling around. there will equally be some drier and brighter interludes, and in the centre of our area of low pressure, some lighter winds. but around the edges, if you like, to the north and particularly the south, gusty conditions and we could see wind gusts reaching 70 mph or more close to the south coast of england. so some very stormy conditions are possible — worth bearing in mind if you do have plans for saturday.

temperatures between 10—12 degrees. now, as we move out of saturday into sunday, low pressure still with us. but not quite as many white lines, not as many isobars by this stage, so the winds will be a little lighter. it will still be breezy and there'll still be some outbreaks of rain. but i think for the second half of the weekend, at least a better chance of seeing drier weather and some spells of sunshine, and those highs of 11—13 degrees.
