hello and welcome. with just over two weeks away for the us election, president donald trump has embarked on a tour of battleground states. in the coming days he'll be in arizona, pennsylvania and north carolina. today the president has been in nevada. he's attended a service at the international church of las vegas. once considered a battleground state, nevada hasn't swung for a republican presidential contender since 200a. another rally is about to get under way, this time in carson city. this is the same live, where we are expecting donald trump to arrive and to address those hundreds, possibly thousands of supporters, many of whom have been waiting for several hours for a glimpse of president trump. doors open some time ago, so trump. doors open some time ago, so we are trump. doors open some time ago, so we are awaiting his arrival. it has just been five weeks of course since donald trump was back in the same

state. this is a key programme for him and we will turn to carson city airport where this rally is taking place as soon as we see the president. the democratic presidential candidate, joe biden, has accused president trump of lying to americans about the state of the coronavirus pandemic in the united states. campaigning in the swing state of north carolina, where 20% of registered voters have already voted, biden has urged americans to cast their ballots as soon as possible. the other night, trump said that one of his rallies, "we've turned the corner." my grandfather would say, "this guy's gone around the bend if he thinks we've turned the corner." we've turned the corner, things are getting worse. he continues to lie to us about the circumstances. experts say were likely to lose as many as 200,000 additional lives nationwide between now and the end of the year. all because this president cares more about his

park avenue perspective on the world, the stock market, than he does about you. because he refuses to follow the science. 0ur north america correspondent, peter bowes, joins me now. welcome. joe biden familiar rate returning to coronavirus, donald trump is my handling of the pandemic. bring it up—to—date on another day of campaigning. this is a very familiar theme now and i think it will continue that way for the next two weeks. coronavirus and the fact that around this country we are seeing good numbers of new cases a spike in the way that we haven't seen several months and of course thatis several months and of course that is a similar situation as to what we are seeing in many european countries as well, but americans are very concerned about the virus as we move into the winter months and it has a lwa ys the winter months and it has always been the case that it would be the central issue and we have just heard from joe biden once again accusing the president of certainly not

doing enough, you might say lying about the virus in the early stages and early months, not being open with americans about how serious it was and perhaps saying one thing in public while being aware himself in private and we know this for a book that came out a few weeks ago that the virus was very serious to americans so that is his theme going forward. for president trump he is adopting a similar strategy to what we saw four years ago, in the final couple of weeks of the campaign he is crisscrossing the country at a marathon pace, often a couple of events, more than that sometimes in key states, those swing states like pennsylvania, nevada right now which hillary clinton won four years ago but president trump believes he is in with a chance for stop on employment as a key issue in nevada. he is again hammering home his messages which tend to focus more on law and order than they coronavirus, and a very different strategy,

a much more energetic strategy some would say that we are seeing from joe biden. would say that we are seeing from joe biden. our pupils looking? the polls are looking good forjoe biden. it ranges from 4% to 12 points ahead for joe biden. critics will say don't take too much notice, critics of opinion polls, because rememberfour critics of opinion polls, because remember four years ago the popular vote is what hillary clinton managed to win but she didn't win the presidency. and a presidential election isn't a popularity vote, it is essentially 15 individual —— 50 individual polls in each of the individual states, the electoral college votes, the way the maths doesn't always reflect the numbers of individual those people are casting but in terms of the energy and momentum of the campaign, certainlyjoe biden has it as far as the polls are concerned, i think there is some concern amongst

democrats that complacency might set in amongst some of his supporters, the more they hearin his supporters, the more they hear in the media that he is ahead, and may well not make a final effort on the day to actually go and cast their vote. for now, thank you. and you can find more news and analysis about the us election on our website. the french prime minister, jean castex, has told huge crowds rallying around the country that france is not afraid and will not allow itself to be divided by the decapitation of a teacher by a suspected islamist. people gathered in towns and cities across france, including paris and marseille, to show their support for the country's secular values, and their revulsion at the murder on friday. the attacker was shot dead by police and ii people are now in custody. 0ur paris correspondent, lucy williamson, reports. applause once again, around the figure of marianne, a sea of

defiance. this statue, this square, a homing point for a nation whose values have come under attack. since his death on friday, samuel paty, like others before him, has become a symbol of france itself. translation: it's important to be here today to show our collective strength because that's what can help us follow our principles during tough times. translation: we're here to defend the values of the republic — liberty, equality, fraternity and secularism. the government is too inactive. something must be done. the prime minister, jean castex, arrived in place de la republique in a mask printed with the french flag. his message on twitter today read, "you won't scare us, we're france."

samuel paty was killed by a man who knew him only through social media, the result of an online campaign launched by an outraged parent that spread quickly outside conflans. across france, tens of thousands of people have joined the rallies in his name. a man who stood for the values of the nation, remembered today by a nation standing with him. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. thousands of protesters in belarus have taken to the streets for the tenth consecutive sunday after a disputed presidential election in august. they are demanding the resignation of long—term leader alexander lukashenko. authorities say more than 100 people have been arrested. the opposition has threatened

to call a nationwide strike soon if mr lukashenko refuses to step down. the un secretary—general, antonio guterres, has urged armenia and azerbaijan to observe their latest ceasefire, saying indiscriminate attacks on civilians are totally u na cce pta ble. both countries have accused each other of violating a humanitarian ceasefire in the disputed region of nagorno—karabakh. they'd agreed to a russian—brokered truce starting at midnight local time. but clashes continue, as rayhan demytrie reports from tbilisi in neighbouring georgia. an azeri officer announces to his country's president the liberation of another piece of territory, which for the past 26 years had been under armenian control. the ancient bridge leads to the border with iran. kara bakh is azerbaijan, he declares. the armenian defence ministry released this footage, which it claims shows the azeri

forces advancing on armenian positions early on sunday, in violation of a ceasefire agreed the day before. but things were quieter on sunday in civilian areas in the disputed nagorno—karabakh region. they have been under constant bombardment from azerbaijan in recent days. dozens of civilians and more than 700 armenian servicemen, many of them young recruits, have been killed. translation: there are children dying, women, elderly people. our guys die who are 18,19 years old. stop this war. azeri people have also suffered. this was the scene in ganja, azerbaijan's second largest city, that was struck by armenian missiles on saturday, killing at least 13 civilians and destroying more than 20 houses. this woman lost her home. translation: our people are humanist.

we have a beautiful nation. armenia should know that we will not bow to them as people of ganja. we will take back karabakh from them if it comes to that. azerbaijan's military casualties remain a secret, but it has been very public about its territorial gains. this is jabrayil, another town re—taken from armenian forces. the more azerbaijan advances, the less incentive it has to stop fighting. rayhan demytrie, bbc news, tbilisi. tens of thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of bangkok for the fourth day in a row demanding political reform. the rallies took place in defiance of a government ban on gatherings there. the protesters, who are mostly young people, want power to move away from the military and the monarchy. from bangkok, jonathan head sent this report. friday night in downtown bangkok. police advance on a political rally. never mind it was mostly students, schoolchildren

and commuters dropping in on their way home. they got the full treatment. water cannon laced with blue dye and tear gas. it hasn't put them off though. they gathered again this weekend, demanding not just a change of government, but a radical overhaul of the political establishment which has ruled this country throughout the modern era. this show of youthful defiance could be in hong kong or anywhere in the world where a younger generation feels let down by their rulers. but these young protesters are going up against one of the most powerful and untouchable institutions anywhere in the world — the thai monarchy. by demanding that their king's power and spending be accountable for the first time, these people have put a bomb under the political

debate in this country. king vajiralongkorn succeeded his much—loved fatherfour years ago. he cuts a very different figure. his decision to increase his already considerable power and wealth, then ride out the covid crisis living abroad, have cost him public support. he has been back this past week and urged that young thais be taught to love the monarchy. most of these youngsters will have been taught exactly that at school. yet they are unimpressed. flashing the hunger games salute that's become the symbol of their defiance, they want their king to behave more like a modern monarch. they used our tax in the wrong way. it should be with the people who really need it, and they still don't support us, and they want us, like, to be quiet, and that's not

right, that's not ourfreedom, that's not how it's supposed to be. in the past, saying even that might have got these protesters a long prison sentence — or worse. thailand's history has been punctuated by violent suppressions of dissent. this time, perhaps, there will be a different ending. jonathan head, bbc news, bangkok. stay with us on bbc news, still to come... retain or regain the rust belt — could the state of pennsylvania be the decisive win in the us presidential election? music. a historic moment that many of his victims have waited forfor decades. the former dictator in the dark — older, slimmer, and as he sat down, obedient enough. dawn, and the son breaks through the piercing chill of night on the plane outside

coram, it lights up a biblical famine, now in the 20th century. the depressing conclusion — in argentina today, it is actually cheaper to paper your walls with money. we've had controversies in the past with great britain. but as good friends, we have always found a good and lasting solution. concorde bows out in style after almost three decades in service. an aircraft that has enthralled its many admirers for so long taxis home one last time. this is bbc news, the latest headlines... joe biden‘s supporters see their candidate's campaign rally in north carolina, as president trump's fans in nevada arrive for his. thousands gather in cities

across france in support of the schoolteacher beheaded after showing cartoons of the prophet muhammad to pupils. with little more than two weeks to go to the us presidential election, donald trump has been campaigning in the battleground states that will decide this contest. one of the most important areas is the so called rust belt — that's america's old industrial heartland in the north—east of the country. four years ago the state of pennsylvania was unexpectedly won by donald trump. it was the first time the state had voted for a republican candidate in almost 30 years. nick bryant reports now on how pennsylvania could play a critical role in this year's election. an ugly american election is being fought amidst this beautiful american landscape. what often feels like a shared continent occupied by warring tribes. this is the trump house in rural pennsylvania — a site of pilgrimage

for a political base that often exhibits a near cult—like devotion, a shrine decorated with the iconography of the modern—day american right. its owner, leslie rossi, points to how the republicans have registered more than twice as many new voters in pennsylvania as the democrats, a portent of victory. they love what president trump has done, that he kept his word, that he kept his promises, that he did all the things he said, or tried to. he is, you know, the people's president and they get that. this is the post—industrial landscape that provided the seedbed for the trump presidency. the rusting steel works became echo chambers for the slogan "make america great again". but this year, he hasn't come up with a ringing phrase that's reverberated through these valleys. the 2020 election is not a rerun of the 2016 election. donald trump is not an insurgent, he's the incumbent.

he has a record to defend. and then there's that question that often decides presidential contests — is the country better off now than it was four years ago? some plants have seen new investment, but the steel industry now employs almost 2,000 fewer workers than it did four years ago, largely as a result of the trump trade war. this isn't coming back. places like this will never come back. this style of manufacturing that existed throughout the 20th century is gone. has donald trump revived these communities? no, not in the way that these communities wanted to be revived. manufacturing hasn't come back. steel hasn't come back — and it won't. the political rationale forjoe biden‘s candidacy was that he was the democrat best placed to win back white voters in the rust belt,

former trump supporters like chuck howenstein. in 2020, i think it's a perfect storm forjoe biden because i think people are tired. they want to see normalcy back in this country. they want to see decency. they want to see this hatred stop. this country united, and i think all of that together is going to bring joe biden the presidency. many voters here still cling to the nostalgic nationalism that donald trump offers and view him as a president of american resurgence. but are there enough of them in these broken communities to win him four more years? nick bryant, bbc news, pennsylvania. a frantic search for survivors is under way in vietnam after a landslide buried 22 soldiers. at least 11 bodies have been recovered. part of a mountain is said to have collapsed on top of a barracks in the province of kwan chee. joe robinson

reports. a frantic search begins to try and avert what could be the largest vietnamese military loss during peacetime. at least 22 soldiers were sleeping when the landslide happened. one official said four or five landslides occurred, one after the other, sounding like bombs exploding. more than 60 people have now been killed in kwan chee, in some of the worst flooding to hit vietnam in years. the rescue is delicate work. more landslides are expected. earlier this week, 13 members of another rescue team, including the region's deputy military commander, were killed trying to find missing workers near a hydroelectric dam located deep in thejungle. the search for the original workforce has continued. translation: the area in front of me here has 16 missing victims, who have been trapped because of the large amount of rocks. we have to use all the technology we have and ask for more aid to rescue the remaining people. one of those 16 has

since been found dead. the heavy rain is expected to continue into next week, hard on local people, who have to live with the exceptionally high water levels. translation: life has become quite hard recently. my family has to move upstairs to live. we can't live downstairs, as the water came up to my belly a few days ago, and it even came as high as my neck at the back of my house. we have to move everything upstairs. translation: here we live in the flood. flood followed by flood. and residents have to be on alert to prevent flood waters rising. i sit here and wait for the waters to recede. rivers in kwan chee are at their highest in two decades, and the rain keeps coming. some areas of the country are expecting as much as a metre of rain in the coming week. joe robinson, bbc news. a british man has received an overwhelming outpouring of support on social media after he shared a candid update

on his mental health. edmund o'leary found himself unemployed and struggling mentally. so he decided to tweet... the tweet has been seen more than ten million times — and nearly 100,000 people have responded to cheer him up. i asked dr radha mongil, a mental health campaigner, why this particular tweet resonated with so many people. i think it was just mr o'leary‘s candidness, just his honesty about how he is feeling, i think it resonated with all of us at the moment. we are not ok. a lot of us are not feeling ok. a lot of us are facing many, many challenges, so i think it was about the rawness and the authenticity with which he... he also put out a call out for people to help, a call for people to respond to make him feel better as well. twitter and coming for a rough

ride when it comes to how are treated but do you think there can bea treated but do you think there can be a force for good clearly? 10096. it has never been more important, never more needed than now. than now, that we actually use social media for good, for kindness, to spread positivity, to help each other, to look after each other, because, like you say, social media often gets a really bad reputation. we are always talking about how social media is actually kind of the source of actually what makes us feel worse, but this is a great example about how, actually, we can come together, to support each other and help people feel like they are not on their own, because i think people feeling like they are on their own is one of the biggest feelings out there at the moment, so the more we can do to connect people with social media and support each other is just fantastic. what would you say to somebody who was watching, seeing this amazing response and possibly thinking about boasting about their own mental health, because i suppose you do have to be coated that posting because it is not going to be positive. absolutely and it is

really important to tell people out there that sharing how you are viewing is great but make sure you are in the right place to do that and you have got support around you, so i would anyone out there, really stop and think once or once or twice or three times before you put something, reach out to people around you are nearby, your friends, family, your gp, there are some amazing charities like the samaritans who can help as well but just think about it, not everyone will respond favourably, but in this example i think we have seen an incredible response, it isjust so lovely to have that light and positivity and support and kindness across the world, across the globe, to show that we are not alone, we are supporting each other through this and i think that is a really important message for people to hear right now.|j don't know how much you are monitoring social media to see whether or not there has been an upsurge in the last nine months in this kind of thing of people reaching out to strangers for help. i think there has been an increase in people being more open about

their feelings, world people being more open about theirfeelings, world mental health day just last theirfeelings, world mental health dayjust last weekend, i think with all of the people coming out and talking about the mental health which was fantastic, i have lost my own series on instagram and twitter called not long, every sunday night, which i basically came up night, which i basically came up with the idea about four weeks ago to really encourage people to connect and come together, to just feel like there is someone else there might be feeling the same way soi might be feeling the same way so i think there has been a huge uprising in that and i think the more honest we can be, obviously being careful to protect our own mental health but also to support each other better. a reminder of our top story that mike president trump is holding his second rally of the day in nevada. this is the seen live in carson city right now, this is president trump's second visit to northern nevada in as many months. polls show trump trailing the democratic joe biden by an average of five percentage points among nevada and. but is it

for me from now. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @samanthatvnews. hello. this spell of quieter weather continued on sunday, but with all the cloud around, the brightest thing many of us saw was the autumn colour, here on view in staffordshire, though competing with a postbox. it's all change now. we've had some quiet weather, but low pressure is taking over. the weather fronts are gathering, and although there will be some sunnier days in the week ahead, there'll be some very wet days around as well. and it's getting windier, too. and for monday, some of the heaviest rain will be in scotland and northern ireland. this is how it looks as the day begins. some outbreaks of rain into parts of northern england, particularly, to begin with. and there may be a bit of a lull in the rain first thing in northern ireland, but it will come back. heavy, persistent rain. outbreaks of rain across scotland, heaviest and most persistent in the west. so, through western scotland and northern ireland, as the rain continues into monday night, there is a risk of some flooding and some travel disruption. see some rain pushing back

in towards north west england into the afternoon. patchy rain reaching into parts of wales, whereas elsewhere a bit of hazy brightness around. temperatures just creeping up a few degrees, but it's getting windier. as we just look into monday evening, this area of rain will start to just push in across parts of south west england. overnight monday into tuesday, well, it's this weather front that will bring a splash of rain across those parts of england and wales that stayed dry during monday. and the rain continuing in scotland and northern ireland, though by end of the night, it should be easing from northern ireland. so, on tuesday, then, some early rain affecting parts of eastern england slowly pulling away. further heavy and perhaps prolonged downpours running in towards particularly northern ireland and scotland, just fringing north wales and north west england as well. windy and wet still across the far north of scotland and northern isles, easterly winds here. mild south—westerlies elsewhere, and temperatures, particularly across much of england and wales, into the mid to high teens with sunny spells and a few showers. but gales through the irish sea. as we look through tuesday night and into wednesday,

focus for the heaviest rain will be shifting into parts of england and wales. could well be some quite heavy rain moving through, exact position of this uncertain at this stage, but some of that may fringe northwards towards northern ireland and scotland again as we go through wednesday. so, we'll keep an eye on that. it could be quite windy again with that, too. so, again, it is all change. our weather's been quiet. it isn't any more. some of the rain this week is going to be quite heavy. windier conditions at times, too. milder at least to start the week.
