school! # i feel like # i feel like # 0h, maggie, tried any more! in yukon, sir rod stewart! it is a bit ofa... hello! yukon, sir rod stewart! it is a bit of a... hello! it is lovely to see you. always lovely to see you. well, thatis you. always lovely to see you. well, that is pretty sensational entrance! there you go. really great, thank you so much, guys. the west end musical choir, what an entrance! and we've made you're watching beyond 100 days... he's all in. the former mayor of new york is officially running for president. a late entrant, mike bloomberg kicks off his democratic presidential run with a visit to virginia the billionaire media mogul who will face a challenge from the right and the left is spending 3a million dollars, in one week on ads bashing president trump.

the pro democracy parties of hong kong showed up to the polls in record number and swept the board in weekend elections — a stunning rejection of the city's beijing backed government. also on the programme... uber and out. the ride sharing app has been told its licence will not be renewed in london. it plans to appeal. and the priceless jewellery of augustus the strong, has been stolen from a museum in dresden, where the security was anything but. hello and welcome — i'm michelle fleury in new york, christian fraser is in london. michael bloomberg, the three term mayor of this city has announced he is running for president. the 77 year—old is making a late entrance, but he has the money to make up for it. take a look at this graphic. it shows you the tv ad spending by 2020 democrats thus far. and you will see, there is michael bloomberg, second in the list, and he has only just entered the race. rather than trying to win early states, he will be focusing all his attention on super tuesday, when 15 states head to the polls on march 3rd. his deep pockets mean he can run simultaneous campaigns in all of those states — a move that would bankrupt other candidates.

with no clear front runner among the other candidates maybe there is space in the list of 18 candidates — but the question is: whether america is ready for another new york billionaire? we're joined from washington by time contributorjay newton—small. this is already a clouded field. —— in a crowded field. how does mike bloomberg stand out? i think michael bloomberg stand out? i think michael bloomberg sees that there was an opportunity with joe biden. elizabeth warren as well, freddie sanders on the left—hand side of this race. joe biden is the main one. those have been the most dominant in the field thus far. with joe biden really under attack as pa rt joe biden really under attack as part of this impeachment enquiry and the senate potentially working to

focus weeks if not months of their trial, the republican—controlled senate onjoe trial, the republican—controlled senate on joe biden trial, the republican—controlled senate onjoe biden and your relationship with the ukraine, that could really hurt his candidacy and you see michael bloomberg calculating that there is this point of entry along the centrist line and they could possibly make a credible run for presidency. this is someone with unlimited money, real wild card here. he is worth upwards of $50 billion. that has led to attacks from notably many on the democratic side. let's have a listen to one of them. this was elizabeth warren over them. this was elizabeth warren over the weekend. elections should not be for sale, not to billionaires or corporate executives, we need to build a grassroots movement and that is how democracies work. can he ove i’co m e is how democracies work. can he overcome stereotypes, the perception that somehow he is trying to buy the

election? that is certainly a battle formike election? that is certainly a battle for mike bloomberg. at a time when the party is am moving to the left, can he pull it back to the centre. you have other prominent voices in the democratic party saying it is dangerous to go too far to the left, notably in the last couple of weeks, former president barack 0bama saying, hey, guys, we are going too far to the left heel. it will be ha rd far to the left heel. it will be hard to beat donald trump in the general election of the party moves to 40 general election of the party moves to a0 left and you cannot appeal to the centrist voters. that is the centrist path michael bloomberg is taking. if you can wind the democratic primary is then you have a strong chance of beating donald trump ina a strong chance of beating donald trump in a general election because you can pick up a lot of the centrist voters. he has said, look, iam the centrist voters. he has said, look, i am the ceo. i can run this very successful international business. the question is, is you too far to the left on things, on the social policies, things like abortion and

gun rights? that is both a strength and weakness in a lot of ways. the strength is that he's got an amazing mailing list for hundreds of thousands of people who have signed up thousands of people who have signed up to support him in these issues, particularly on gun control, that he can then harness is running for president and there is a lot of energy and donations given to local candidates and two causes around the country that now he can in turn support is candidacy moving forward most likely or may actually support him but! most likely or may actually support him but i think there is... it depends on states like michigan, wisconsin, the most worst that —— midwest, are these too far to the left? 211 the royal areas, that remains to be seen. it's a really interesting candidacy what it is one in which you if you have two billionaire new york is going after one another in the general election, where does the rural vote go? lies

with the swanky manhattan addresses, yes. he has been a three term mayor of new york city which is a plus on one side but if you've been a three to may are in a city like new york, you will have plenty of skeletons, won't you? you might guess, that is another weakness is that particularly with the stop and frisk laws that he passed as meier in new york, which have been very controversial with african—american groups, hispanic groups, minorities, you may not appeal to minority vote rs you may not appeal to minority voters which are really crucial any democratic contest particularly in south carolina and other places, even in states like california where the hispanic vote is very important. if these minority voters cannot come around to supporting him, he has no oi'i around to supporting him, he has no on the democratic side so he has a lot of explain to you, he's apologised for that particular stop and frisk law that has been passed but he has a lot of outreach and explaining to do with those minority vote rs explaining to do with those minority voters moving forward. good to see you for being with others evening. i

say probably republican leading publications will not dig into mike bloomberg but it's a bit of a problem for bloomberg news. international news organisation that will be wondering that i have been wondering in recent weeks how they will deal with this. there was a little put out by the editor in chief saying how they would deal with this, what they will do is extend the policy of not investigating mike bloomberg, his business, his charities, that sort of thing and they are going to extend that to the other 17 candidates. they are also going to assign a reporter to the campaign. i don't know whether that cuts it. i don't know whether that cuts it. i don't know whether that cuts it. i don't know about you, should an international news organisation be reporting on a presidential candidate without fear or favour? they've gone through this before when he was mayor of new york city and one of the things they have said they will carry on reporting on

other people and other candidates of bloomberg. there was one thing not on the graphic that we can pull back up on the graphic that we can pull back up that perhaps we should add and thatis up that perhaps we should add and that is the place where mike bloomberg was... was opinion, those are the editorials reflecting his views, they have suspended the editorial and what will happen is the people responsible willjoin him on the campaign trail. it is going to be tricky. if you can imagine the situation, even when they do have these coming through, how do they deal with it and cover it? if it turns out bloomberg is running head—to—head against wrong? turns out bloomberg is running head—to—head against wrong ?m turns out bloomberg is running head-to-head against wrong? it is interesting for bloomberg as a conundrum. we will see how it develops. the chief executive of hong kong, carrie lam, says she'll be in listening mode after a landslide victory for pro—democracy candidates in this weekends district elections. they took almost 90 per cent of the districts previously

controlled by pro beijing parties. it has been widely seen as a referendum on the protests; a record 71 per cent of the a million people in hong kong voted, compared to just a7 per cent in 2015. the unrest was sparked by ms lam's move to introduce a controversial bill enabling criminal suspects to be extradited to china. rupert wingfield—hayes has sent this report. this is not the sort of media attention usually given to the winners of a local council election. last night's victory for the democrats was an unprecedented landslide. these new politicians 185% of all the seats contested. —— they won 85%. government parties, they won 85%. government parties, they have no more excuses for saying

that rioters don't get the popular support. now we see they get the popular support. they understand that this is a democracy. the only freedom we have is very fragile, it can be undone by a tyrant. white might make the today is that the hong kong opposition is now the most powerful political group in hong kong. it is no longer a protest movement, it now has a proper democratic mandate. that means the chief executive can no longer ignore their demands. the time for the hong kong government to act may be short. a pro—beijing politician today had to be escorted from her office by riot police. going through hostile crowds. 0ut riot police. going through hostile crowds. out on a street corner this evening, this candidate was thanking

his supporters. is one a handful of pro—government councillors who survive the election but he said it has been a nightmare in the pro—government camp. you'll like everything is wrong. you have to side with —— start of government policies and strategies. it is a very loud voice from the people that they are not happy with what they have been going for the last six months. might make anyone looking for a hopeful sign from beijing today got nothing. the foreign ministry spokesman again insisting hong kong china's internal affair and everyone else should mind their own business. but without some acknowledgement of what happened here on sunday, a celebration could $0011 here on sunday, a celebration could soon turn back into violence on the streets. big night. it's the app that millions of us have on our phones — convenient, cheap, just a tap away.

but the future of uber in london looks increasingly uncertain — after the ridesharing company lost its licence to operate in the capital over safety concerns. it's the second time in two years that transport authorities have knocked back uber‘s bid to renew its operating license. and it is a big blow for the company. london is one of its top five markets globally. more than 1 in 3 londoners use it — making the city the biggest european market currently 3.5 million users and a5,000 drivers. the problem is there were at least 1a,000 fraudulent trips in 2018 and early 2019, according to transport for london. unauthorised drivers had been uploading their photos to other drivers accounts, which allowed them to pick up passengers as though they were the booked driver. across europe, there have been bans or partial bans on uber in denmark, germany, france, portugal, italy, hungary, romania and bulgaria.uber‘s ceo tweeted: the tfl decision is wrong. over the last 2 years we have fundamentally changed how we operate in london. with me is technology researcher stephanie hare.

so, is the ceo right? the ceo in london. is this a historic problem oi’ london. is this a historic problem or do you think it is a recurring problem? what we know is uber has taken many steps since they first had their license suspended two yea rs had their license suspended two years ago however, the guardian newspaper was reporting today that the most recent offence was found only just three weeks the most recent offence was found onlyjust three weeks ago and it seems as though transfer for london had not been fully aware of these fraudulent drivers who have been driving unlicensed and uninsured. that is an issue on top of all the other issues that uber have had with women 01’ other issues that uber have had with women or people of colour feeling threatened or disconnected again so

it isa threatened or disconnected again so it is a big headache for. they will clearly appeal, they said that you anything they can do to reassure transport for london? that's a great question. they are taking a number of steps to try and increase driver safety, installing a disco nation button and installing access to emergency services in the car. the one that is the most controversial and really game changing notjust for uber and transport what would be a test case for workers across the united kingdom and globally as they have said they plan to introduce facial recognition technology for the drivers. how does that work? i guess in the way you could look at your iphone and link it to your face, so you do one to ones. says, yeah, take your the right driver? yeah, that is a privacy, civil liberty and human rights issue for the drivers who you could argue have no choice because they are a captive audience on the technology. they we re audience on the technology. they were hardly going to work so they

will be told, you either submit to this highly invasive technology that is controversial or do not work for us. is controversial or do not work for us. as well as being a flag bearer for the gig economy is what you're describing as they could be a spearhead of technology in another way that would work around this problem. in the short term, more immediately, how does this benefit its rivals? we don't know what the safety racket is in comparison with black cabs and private cars that are licensed, and other rivals. we would wa nt to licensed, and other rivals. we would want to do a point by point comparison of safety and violations, and find out what it is about uber that is unique here and how do we fix it? it's a really interesting debate. very quickly before we finish, the other similar apps would have the same issues, wouldn't they?

it isa have the same issues, wouldn't they? it is a question of scale. what is interesting here is we are talking about 1a,000 fraudulent rides in the last two years involving only a3 driver so is it a problem for uber because uber is so much bigger than these other companies or is it that there are things working under a rock with the other taxi companies that we just haven't jet? thank you very much that. a kick in the ribs for uber. i guess you've been feeling the pulse there in new york today amongst investors. they will appeal. i dare say they might even sue if there are to lose that appeal. what are investors making of it? the immediate reaction on the share price when you saw the news come out was it tested record lows before bouncing back. i think one of the things you have to remember is this is a company that has led a real black eye, the latest one ina has led a real black eye, the latest one in a string of disasters. you have the california law that people might remember they pass on the gig

economy, and they would reclassify contractors as employees. its effort to try and expand its business was hit -- to try and expand its business was hit —— and hit headwinds. things are making investors nervous in the challenge for the ceo is basically to sell his vision for the company's investors and this doesn't hurt help. white met the challenge of learning how to use a new app because it's taken me three years to learn how to split files. that's my problem. a unique and priceless collection of jewellery collection ofjewellery has been stolen... -- a unique and priceless collection of jewellery has been stolen from one of germany's most elite collections. the pieces, containing diamonds, rubies, and sapphires were taken early this morning from the green vault museum in dresden. police say they're still trying to establish exactly how much was stolen. 0ur correspondent damien mcguiness, has been following developments and joins us from berlin. talk us through this. how did the thieves even get in? yeah, bit of a

mystery. what seems to have happened is they broke through a window, headed straight for the cabinets containing these jewels. the containing thesejewels. the police had got there and by then if you set got away. the issue is how they get through metal grating because very thick metal grating innuendo, they seem thick metal grating innuendo, they seem to manage to cut through it, made a very small hole, got through that, and how that they get away so quickly because the police were there within literally five minutes? so these thieves and suspects knew what they were doing. some eyewitnesses seem to think they soya limousine waiting outside which then took the suspects away. a car was found a burnt out car found nearby very found a burnt out car found nearby very soon found a burnt out car found nearby very soon after the robbery so there isa very soon after the robbery so there is a suspicion that another cart was then destroyed and another car was used. however they manage this, it was well planned out and they knew

what they were doing because not only was this museum well guarded, it was regarded as something... it was called fort knox by a previous director so there was a lot of surprise that this happened, and a lot of hurt because from a cultural perspective, these are incredibly important to dresden. who is the ruler that was the collector of all this stuff? now you're testing my historical knowledge. he was an incredibly important part of poland, he loved art. he set out lots of museums. that is one of the reasons it is so important because it is a key part of the glorious history of saxony. it's also important because

it was rebuilt and it is a real symbol of rebirth of the people in dresden. wasn't insured? there are questions. you will pay? there is a state insurance. the money will be covered. that is the hope. it's not about the money, christian. the money, these things cannot be sold on because they are so famous. the money is that they will be broken up and individual diamonds will then be sold, and that is such a shame because these prizes will then be destroyed. we have the security footage from inside the vault. i guess that's the question. what is the green vault where it restored? we are looking at flashing lights. flashlights going off. we are out of time but there you can see basically the thieves in action.

as cities expand, particularly in places like india and china, demand for cement to build homes and infrastructure is surging. that's great if you're getting a new home, but there's a problem because making cement releases huge amounts of c02 — up to 8% of the global total. as part of our series climate defenders, ahead of the next big un climate conference, the bbc‘s rajini vaidyanathan has been to meet the boss of one indian cement company that's managed to slash its co2 emissions to a0% below the global average — and aims to become carbon negative. as india grows, so, too, does it use of cement. now only second to china. concrete buildings are changing the landscape here. emissions involved in cement production are also pushing up global temperatures. the small town here in india's south is nicknamed cement city. it's home to some of the industry's big players.

it's also here that one company's leading the world with a bold vision. to make cement carbon negative by 20a0. is that really credible? yes. the ceo of the cement company certainly thinks so. he is at the forefront of using climate friendly ways to make cement. we wondered, is it possible to bring down emissions from the cement to create an example that cement can be green? you'll be happy to know that today we have the lowest carbon footprints in the world. it's not been easy. emissions from this cement industry contribute to global warming 3—a times more than aviation does. becoming carbon negative requires a huge investment in cutting—edge technology to remove

the remaining carbon dioxide. wire cement so dangerous to the planets? it is all the way it is produced. it is heated to temperatures of a1a celsius in that process in itself emits carbon dioxide. as does the burning of the fuel is. this company aims to reduce those levels first by using renewable fuels 3d furnaces. your bamboo is being used as a replacement for cole. bamboo grows rapidly on wasteland that can't be used for much else. different types of waste are also being used as fuel and waste materials from power stations are added to the mix of ingredients reducing the need for limestone. but why notjust use less cement? the problem as it is very difficult to replace as even environmentalists can see. we will rely more on cement but then the notion has to change. i don't think it is practical. any longer run, we

can do it. we cannot eliminate this element completely. we can find many more alternative remedies. cement has now become one of the world's most consumed materials. many people are still unaware of the damage it's doing the climate. it's still a big polluter and in this plant in a small corner of india, may be showing the way to reduce it and one day eliminate its damage. it's almost that time of the year again. the comical, slightly bizarre ritual that is the turkey pardon. it takes place tomorrow. for the uninitiated this is the annual presidential granting of mercy for two lucky birds who will escape the slaughterhouse. they arrived in washington last night — and were given the full red carpet treatment. in fact no expense spared. the turkeys are called ‘bread' and ‘butter‘, they are staying in plush five star acommodation at dc‘s willard hotel — each with their own double bed. i hope they are not resting on the goose down duvets. anyway once the pardon is completed —

the special pair will end up at — wait for it — at gobblers rest at the virginia polytechnic institute — alongside their forefathers peas and carrots. look at that. five star treatment. anyway once the pardon is completed — the special pair will end up at — wait for it — at gobblers rest at the virginia polytechnic institute — alongside their forefathers peas and carrots. i remember them from last year, yes. a p pa re ntly i remember them from last year, yes. apparently there were chosen for their temperament. this is beyond 100 days from the bbc. coming up for viewers on the bbc news channel and bbc world news — with just under three weeks to go until the general election, the conservatives have launched their manifesto — we'll be looking at what's in it

and speaking to one of their mps about their long list of pledges. and the tale of the 82—year—old new yorker not to be messed with. let's just say the burglar who broke in to her home good evening. it's likely we'll close out the month of november as we began with a low pressure never too far away, which means more radio, and, of the next couple of days, the range of across england and wales not exclusively. it could lead to localised flooding, tune into your local radio stations for traffic and travel disruption. now the low pressure that is going to cause the issues as this mass of clouds your that will push into the south—west arriving a little later tonight, head of it we've got bands of showery rain that will drift away steadily north, a clearance behind quite a lot of cloud around and there is that although moving in on tuesday. with the cloud, it will feel infinitely mild for this time of year. overnight lows of 8—10dc.

as we start off tuesday morning at the low pressure continues to push its way steadily north was, of ours and they make around the lower, winds a future, gusts in excess of a5-55 winds a future, gusts in excess of a5—55 mph. first thing on the us, exposed coast. rain moving through cornwall, and up towards central and southern wales. by the middle part of the morning, heading towards northern ireland, across north—west england and the midlands, and east anglia. eventually parking itself across the scottish borders and then behind it, we will see a spell of pretty intense rain returning to the south—east of england. a blustery afternoon however you look at it but with the cloud, wind and rain, still that air source going from the south, staying mild at 9—1adc. that is tuesday. looking at tuesday, into wednesday, the loan of too far away, drifting steadily eastwards and any southern flank of that low is that

we are likely to see the strongest winds, gale—force gusts across the channel. then the end of the night and into wednesday, we will see the wettest of the weather across eastern england, central and southern scotland. deal that could lead to some localised flooding as well. 9—12dc. the allowable gradually drift off into the new continent and the isobars become vertical which means a change in wind direction, called a source in the colder air will arrive during thursday and into friday. it heralds a change as we head towards the weekend. friday, slowly drying up, slowly quieter but called for all.

this is beyond 100 days with me michelle fleury in new york, christian fraser is in london. our top stories... billionaire former new york mayor michael bloomberg has officially entered the race to be the democratic party presidential nominee — he's already spent 3a million dollars, in one week on ads bashing president trump.. a landslide in hong kong for pro—democracy parties. they swept the board in this weekend's district elections — a stunning rejection of the city's beijing—backed government. coming up in the next half hour... a look at the conservative party

manifesto and what is in it — and what is not. and we will be in wisconsin, one of three critical states in the 2020 election. where does support stand now? the chief of the us navy has been fired over his handling of a misconduct case within the navy seals. there have been differing accounts as to why richard spencer was asked to resign, but it all connects to the case of navy seal eddie gallagher. the chief petty officer was convicted for posing with a corpse and had been due to face a disciplinary review where he could have been forced out of his regiment. donald trump, who intervened in the case, said he was unhappy with the handling of the case and the "cost overruns". but in his resignation letter, richard spencer said, we're joined from washington by david lapan, he gave 30 years to the military, he is a retired marine colonel who served as a spokesman at the defense department,

and he is now at the bipartisan policy centre. there seems to be a bit of confusion about what exactly happened. can you sort of try and talk us through, including that extraordinary letter from mr spencer. well, you are exactly right, there has been a lot of confusion and uncertainty about what exactly happened. as we like like to say, who knew what and when did they know it? you have conflicting reports about whether spencer was fired or did he resign on principle. all of these conflicting reports cause confusion and is concerning to those of us who follow the military and those who

serve in the military today. follow the military and those who serve in the military todaylj follow the military and those who serve in the military today. i guess the point here is you have got the president stepping in and preventing the military from carrying out its own disciplinary process. i mean, what is the significance? explain to those of us not inside the military, given your experience, why it matters. first of all, it is highly unusual for the president, in matters. first of all, it is highly unusualforthe president, in his role of commander—in—chief of the military, to involving himself in a personnel matter. often you will hear about presidents talk about personnel policies writ large. the don't tell, don't ask policy that involved gay members. donald trump involving himself in personal policy regarding transgender. so normally the president is involved on policies that cut a wide swath across the military, not on an individual service member. again,

you have the president as the commander—in—chief inserting himself in the case of one particular navy chief petty officer and involving himself in ways that we have not seen himself in ways that we have not seen before. but by the same token, david, when we are talking about rank and the way things work within the military and that order of command, it does seem that richard spencer went around the defence secretary to try and strike a deal with the white house. it does seem that way but again that is part of what we have seen conflicting reports and what did he do, how did he do it, how was that found out? there is also the question of was his resignation or firing prompted by the president himself by the secretary of defence ? by the president himself by the secretary of defence? there are still questions that. but all of this is to say it is certainly within the authority of the president to be able to choose and to fire leaders of the military as he will. again, the unusual access

unusual aspect is that it is all revolving around this case of the chief petty officer. four months ago, borisjohnson stood on the steps of downing street and promised britain a solution to the crisis in social care. myjob is to protect you or your parents or grandparents from the fear of having to sell your home to pay for the costs of care. and so i am announcing now, on the steps of downing street, that we will fix the crisis in social care at once and for all with a clear plan we have prepared, to give every older person the dignity and security they deserve. but in 59 pages of conservative party manifesto published on sunday that plan, that was ready to go, is nowhere to be seen. there will be an injection instead of £1 billion every year and a pledge to find a cross—party consensus on how to fix the crisis. the injection of funding is said

to be well short of what is needed. elsewhere in the manifesto there is a promise to create 50 million more gp appointments and hire 50,000 more nurses. there are plans for an australian style points system. and a triple lock on tax, no increases in income tax, national insurance or vat. there are plans for 250,000 extra childcare places, £6.3 billion—worth of upgrades for disavantaged homes, half a billion a year for filling potholes. a new rail service between leeds and manchester, a pledge to cut carbon emissions to virtually zero by 2050, and a democracy commission to review the "relationship between government, parliament and the courts. " that might sound like a lot of promises but the left—leaning guardian newspaper says the conservatives are offering a fraction of what the other leading opposition parties have already announced. on day—to—day spending, the tory plan would increase the spend byjust £2.9 billion

a year by 202a, compared with £82 billion for labour year on year and £62 billion a year from the lib dems. let's speak to chris philp, parliamentary private secretary to the chancellor. let's talk then first of all about social care because there was, as we illustrated at the top, this plan that was ready to go. where is it? i've moved on the ministry of justice since then. i beg your pardon. on the social care question a lot of extra money has gone into social care already over the last couple of years, to all 3 billion for example by the better care fund and a levy on council tax. the billion pound a year announced today the manifesto is extra to all of that, so a huge amount of extra money has been put into social care to address some of the well—known pressures. in terms of the longer

term solution, the prime minister has been very clear that there will be no policy which results in anybody having to lose their home, thatis anybody having to lose their home, that is a really important commitment. but the details of how we reform social care for the longer term, beyond the injections of cash that i mentioned a moment ago, is something that requires careful... it's an intergenerational question and its going to take time to get that right. in the medium to short term, the extra money is being put in. we have got two or three years... it is well short. people say around 5 billion is needed and you are putting in! billion a year. that is what he said, there is a plan and it is ready to go. it will fix social care, it is ready prepared. you are asking for a mandate from the country and it is not in there. why? as i say, it is important to make sure these things work, notjust for the next important to make sure these things work, not just for the next few years but... the crisis needs fixing now and you are asking for a mandate for the country to deal with it and it is not in there. yeah, the

immediate question, the billion pounds in addition to the extra money that has gone on over the last few years addresses the problem in the short to medium term and then there is time to think about more creative solutions beyond that. what we have said very clearly is nobody will be at risk of losing their home and that is a very important commitment. what we have seen in the re st of commitment. what we have seen in the rest of the manifesto, specific plans, 20,000 extra police, 50,000 more nurses than there are today. people convicted of... thousands of those nurses are to be retained if they're looking to leave or come back to the surface. that's right. the plan to increase the number of nurses has two components, one is by recruiting brand—new nurses by reintroducing the nurse bursary that was scrapped a few years ago. that was scrapped a few years ago. that was a mistake, it is going to come back. that will help recruit new nurses. but in addition to that we also need to do better at retaining

the nurses we have already. so combination of those two things, which makes sense, will lead to 50,000 more nurses compared to today. but let's also not forget that competitor at a time when the conservatives came to office, we have i think 18,000 more doctors working on hospital wards and 70,000 more nurses working on hospital wards. so we have increased the numberof wards. so we have increased the number of doctors and nurses on wards already but we need to go further because the demands on the nhs are growing. the population is ageing, has ever more complicated and chronic conditions and that is why we are putting all this extra money into the nhs. but there funding figures you put up a minute ago compare spending pledges to the spending review in early september and of course that increase spending bya and of course that increase spending by a think it was 13 or £14 billion a year. that is where the extra money for the nhs next year came from. so all that... but we are doing ina from. so all that... but we are doing in a way that the country can afford. we are doing it responsibly. if we go back to the situation where the labour government was leaving

the labour government was leaving the country last time we doesn't get us the country last time we doesn't get us anywhere. people again say this modest increase in spending is not going to give them what they need on nurses. it is small steps forward, not the kind of matter in line with the promises be made. but critically this comes on top of the spending review a couple of months ago which increased day—to—day spending by think roughly speaking £13 billion. so the increases in the manifesto, combined with our ia billion in the spending review, mean we can have a 20,000 extra police... it is ambitious. but we have got to do it responsibly. labour's plans add up to... we simply can't afford the burden in terms of extra tax would be crippling and it would return the country to the brink of bankruptcy where the last labour government left us. our children and our grandchildren will pay the price. that is irresponsible, reckless and immoral. what doing is increasing

spending responsibly. we are not making reckless promises. thank you for joining making reckless promises. thank you forjoining us. wisconsin is one of three critical states in the 2020 election. the others being michigan and pennsylvania. all three of them went for trump in 2016. and if nothing changes in the electoral map this time around, democrats might need the three northern states, to capture the white house. and yet through the summer — through the impeachment inquiry — their support has been slipping. in august, the former vice presidentjoe biden led the president by 51 to a2 per cent. and now the latest poll has flipped the script, trump is now ahead of biden and all the other leading democrats in head—to—head polling. it is one poll in one state and therefore not a definitive reading of the public mood — but take a look at the figures on impeachment. a0 per cent of voters are in favour of impeaching the president — that's down from aa per cent in october.

it is perhaps a small but significant clue that republicans are rallying. let's check in with our old friend van mobley, president of the village of thiensville in wisconsin, who is a supporter of the president. van, it is really nice to see. what is going on? well, i think your summary is going on? well, i think your summary hit the nail on the head, i think donald trump is on a good run. november has been very good to him and his numberseven november has been very good to him and his number seven improved considerably. i think the people of wisconsin certainly have different priorities than adam schiff and nancy pelosi. they don't think the president has done anything wrong and they also heard during the course of the testimony that many people in the 0bama administration, the 0bama state department thought there was at least the appearance of impropriety with the joe biden in

ukraine. they would like to know more about that. also, they're very, very disappointed with adam schiff's impeachment enquiry if that is what this is. he runs a shoddy process. i will also say this, the people in the state of wisconsin, is the sum of the ones i speak with, although there are some that are for impeachment, i think the numbers are true, some people do think it should be impeached. but a lot of people are concerned with congressman schiff. he seems to lack situational awareness. before you start the impeachment of a present, you had better make sure that your leading witness, the whistle—blower, you know who they are. they might be manipulating you and he doesn't even know. so that is a lack of situational awareness... sorry to interrupt you there. i was just going to say, so the under mining of

career diplomats, which is one of the themes if you like that has emerged from this impeachment enquiry, that is not top priority for vote rs enquiry, that is not top priority for voters in your area. i mean, what are the issues that they care about most? well, i think they have about most? well, i think they have a bipartisan outlook which i normally have, one republican issue and one democratic issue. they would really like to see the us mexico canada agreement in place. there are many agricultural... their very interested in seeing what the democrats will come up with a drug pricing policy. that was one of nancy pelosi's signature issues and to be frank i think both democratic and republican voters in the state would like to see what she comes up with. they would like the house to focus on those two issues. one of them is more of a republican issue and the other is democratic in my issue of courses that for all people in washington is to do the people's business. the people in the state of wisconsin, they don't really trust

any of them, they don't trust the professional diplomats very much of the politicians. they just professional diplomats very much of the politicians. theyjust sort of, let's go on and your business. so what do they make of these late entra nts what do they make of these late entrants on the democratic side? people like michael bloomberg entering into the field? is that something they're paying attention to? are they likely to find support? i think that really what happens is that whenjoe i think that really what happens is that when joe biden i think that really what happens is that whenjoe biden declines, i think the other is going up and mayor bloomberg and the others, they see a potential opportunity and there what i wouldst say is the moderate line, that is where they position themselves. we will see. i think the demographic for the older voters,... think the demographic for the older voters, . .. they have

think the demographic for the older voters,... they have some more progressive candidates. i think sanders and elizabeth warren. i see thoseis sanders and elizabeth warren. i see those is pretty strong candidates. and then i think bruderjake has got a lot of appeal to certain constituencies and we will see about patrick. he could be a strong continent. we will see. thank you so much forjoining us from wisconsin. this is beyond 100 days. still to come... meet the 82—year—old new yorker who fought off a burglar in her home, and came out victorious. a man charged in connection with the deaths of 39 vietnamese people found in a lorry container in essex last month has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to assist illegal immigration. maurice robinson, who's 25 and from northern ireland, is also facing manslaughter charges. our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford, has the details.

it was on the 23rd of october that police were called to an industrial park in grays in essex, after 39 people had been found dead in the back of a sealed lorry trailer. this morning, maurice robinson, the 25—year—old lorry driver from northern ireland arrested at the time, appeared by video link at the old bailey. and pleaded guilty to conspiring with others to assist illegal immigration. he was not at this stage asked to enter pleas to the 39 charges of manslaughter he faces, nor to one of people trafficking or one of money—laundering. of the 39 people found dead in the lorry, eight were female, ten were teenagers, two of them were 15 your boys. they all came from vietnam and leave behind grieving families. sealed inside an unaccompanied lorry trailer, they had crossed the english channel from zeebrugge on this cargo ferry and arrived at the port of purfleet on the river thames just east of london.

the trailer had been dropped off at zeebrugge some 12 hours earlier by this lorry cab. eamon harrison, also from northern ireland, is accused of being the driver on the belgian side and is fighting extradition from dublin. and with the investigation into the lorry deaths still continuing, a third man from northern ireland, 23—year—old christopher kennedy, appeared in court in chelmsford today, charged with people trafficking and assisting illegal immigration. daniel sandford, bbc news. the bbc‘s panorama programme will lift the lid this evening on the shocking persecution and cruelty inside china's re—education camps. official state documents leaked to the international consortium

of investigativejournalists reveal that up to a million uighurs have been locked up, brainwashed and held indefinitely until they change their beliefs, their behaviour their language. china has consistently claimed these camps — in the shan—geng region — offer education and training. in a moment we'll be speaking to richard bilton who carried out the investigation but first let's take a look at his report. until now, this is all we have seen, snatched footage of high walls and rows of cells. our documents detail what happens inside. these are the instructions sent to those who run the camps. nine pages, brutaland clear.

this is how they issue orders, implement policies. everything we have been hearing from the witnesses, from the survivors, everything that we have been told are consistent with this document. it looks like a north sea playbook to me. in the last three years, china has built hundreds of camps across the remote province of shing jam. around a million people, mainly uighur muslims have been detained. each woman gets two minutes to go to the toilet. they tell you to be quick, quick, quick. if you are not quick, quick, quick. if you are not quick enough they shock you with an electric button on the back of your head. it really her, they did it a lot. even after being shocked, we had to say thank you, teacher, we will not be like next time. the

chinese ambassador to the uk dismissed the bbc‘s claims as fake news and said the population supported and applauded the measures. but some believe china can no longer defend its actions. measures. but some believe china can no longer defend its actionslj measures. but some believe china can no longer defend its actions. i know the president, i have spoken with him. ijust cannot the president, i have spoken with him. i just cannot for the the president, i have spoken with him. ijust cannot for the life of me understand why someone who generally has a pretty good sense of things is making such a devastating decision, like trying to do what he is doing with the uighurs. this document reveals the reality. millions of people locked up in a camp designed to brainwash. and richard is in leeds studio.

it isa it is a shocking report, richard. tell us about the documents. where did they come from and why they significant? they are significant because for the first time we can see actually what is happening in these camps. you saw that peace there, it had pictures from outside, lots of journalists have there, it had pictures from outside, lots ofjournalists have done great work trying to get to the truth, not least our beijing correspondent. but what we have never really seen his what we have never really seen his what is going on inside, what the chinese think these camps are for when it is talking to itself. these documents were written in china early 2017, they were signed by the head of security for the region in the north—west. they were leaked, they ended up as you say with the international consortium of investigative journalists and international consortium of investigativejournalists and the bbc has had a chance to look at them. they are not vocational camps, they are prisons where discipline is ranked very high, no escape is one of the key moments in the document. but more than that, these are camps where transformation is everything.

so it is about changing the behaviour, the beliefs, even the language of those people inside and we now know that. i mean, these documents as you say paint this picture, kind of filling out the details that were missing before. what has been the impact on these mainly muslim uighurs and their families, who are outside wondering what has happened to their loved ones? actually, in a sense this document does help with some of the concerns that they had because when we we re concerns that they had because when we were making this programme, we we re we were making this programme, we were doing this investigation, we we re were doing this investigation, we were speaking to uighurs and people from kazakhstan background because they are also in the camps. there is a real worry about where people are because some, not all villages but some have been really cleared out. some people are saying where are they gone? we now know in these documents people have to say these camps for at least a year and when they finally allowed to come out of they finally allowed to come out of the camps and that is based on them proving that they have transformed, the quote in the camp means they have to stay within the line of

sight for a year so that might mean a labourcamp ora sight for a year so that might mean a labour camp or a factory. that is having a massive effect on the uighur population in that province. a fascinating programme on air this evening. before we go, here is the story of the burglar who broke into the home of an 82—year—old woman here in rochester, new york. and it didn't end well. for the burglar, that is. willie murphy was getting ready for bed on thursday night when a man broke through her front door. but she is a tough new yorker. and pretty resourceful too — she hit him with the metal legs of a table. and then shejumped on him. and then she quirted shampoo in his face. and then she hit him with a broom a few times more. ms murphy is an award—winning bodybuilder who works out at her local gym every day. it is straight out of home alone. by the time the police

had got there, the man was being put into an ambulance. probably wishing he had picked any other house in the street but mrs murphys. great story. we will see tomorrow. good evening. it is likely we are going to close out the month of november as we began with low pressure never too far away. that means more rain to come and over the next couple of days the rain cheaply across england and wales although not exclusively. it could lead to localised flooding, please tune in to your bbc local radio stations for traffic and travel disruption. the low pressure that is going to cause theissuesis low pressure that is going to cause the issues is this massive cloud pushing into the south—west. that will arrive a little later on tonight. ahead of it we have bands of showery rain that would drift steadily north. quite a lot of cloud behind and there is that low moving in at dawn on tuesday. with the cloud it will stay incredibly mild

for this time of year, close of eight to 10 degrees. tuesday morning, the low pressure will continue to push steadily northwards. plenty of nice bars around the low, winds a feature, gusts in excess of 55 miles an hour. the rain heavy as it moves through cornwall, the channel coast and up into central and southern wales. by the middle part of the morning it will be heading towards northern ireland, across north—west england, the midlands and east anglia. eventually it will park its way across the scottish borders and behind it we will see a spell of pretty intense rain returning into the south—east of england. a blustery afternoon however you look at it but with the cloud, the render them rain and silver air source coming from the south it stays mild, nine to 1a celsius. tuesday night into wednesday, the low pressure never too far away, gradually drift steadily eastwards and on the southern flank of that load that is

where we will see the strongest of the winds, gale force gusts, a spell of wet weather for a time. by the end of the night and into wednesday we will see the wettest of the weather across eastern england, central and southern scotland. here that could lead to some localised flooding as well, nine two 12 degrees the high by then. the low will gradually drift to the continent on the isobars start to become vertical which means a change of wind direction. a colder source. that will arrive on thursday into friday and it heralds a change as we head towards the weekend. thursday into friday, slowly drying up, slowly quieter but colder for all.
