136 countries have signed up, only can you and nigeria, pakistan and sri lanka have refused. the organisation for economic co—operation and development which brokered the deal is countries will collect around $150 billion a year extra in tax revenues. here is the french finance minister. it will allow us to fight with more efficiency against the rising inequalities in the world. this agreement at the level of the oecd is clearly a tax revolution. a tax revolution which will lead to less unfairness, to more justice, more efficiency. more on this now, daniel bunn is at the tax foundation and joins metlife from baltimore. this has been in motion since about 2015 and quite a big deal

1:08 am
of the vital importance of telling the truth. when you don't have facts, you don't have a truth, you don't have trust. trust is what holds us together to be able to solve the complex problems our world is facing today. so when you attack the media, often times it is about shooting the messenger. two messengers in the spotlight today as the nobel committee says press freedoms are necessary for both democracy and peace, but are under threat around the world. caroline hawley, bbc news. as we were hearing in the piece there on the david that a russian journalist won the nobel peace prize the government in moscow has designated a number of journalists as foreign agents. among them is andre zachary rolfe from the bbc. the corporation said it strongly rejects the decision by russia to identify him as a foreign agent. in a statement, it says:

migrants to the us border. the talks come at a time in the biden administration is incredibly reliant on mexico to house many of the migrants who have come to the border. it may give the mexican government some leverage in these negotiations. let's talk to our correspondent will grant who joins us from mexico city. they want to tackle drug smuggling, violence and the causes of migration to the us so a lot of talk about. how can we do all this? ~ , , . ., this? well, in essence, what lies at the — this? well, in essence, what lies at the heart _ this? well, in essence, what lies at the heart of— this? well, in essence, what lies at the heart of this - this? well, in essence, what lies at the heart of this is - this? well, in essence, what lies at the heart of this is an | lies at the heart of this is an existing security arrangement called the merida initiative. the president here in mexico has never been a fan of that security plan. he says it is far too militaristic in its basis, but essentially it has pumped over £3 billion, dollars, to the mexican military but not made any difference on the ground. the intention is to completely redraw that and build a new

donald trump has been accused of trying to hide nearly $4 million of payments from foreign governments at his washington, dc hotel during his years in power. house of representatives committee on oversight and reforms that hotel records raise troubling questions about potential conflicts of interest and mr trump's lawyers have previously denied that there was any wrongdoing or conflict of interest. facebook says it is now fixed problems which some users were experiencing with its devices. the issues seem to be affecting instagram but not facebook or whatsapps. hasluck has said it was caused by a configuration change. on monday, facebook services offered up to a six hour long outage after what it said were internal technical issues. the company says the two events are not related. the headlines: more than 130 countries have signed up to a global deal on corporate tax reform, including a 15% minimum corporate tax rate. this year's

nobel peace prize has been awarded to two campaigning journalists, maria ressa and dmitry muratov. brazil has become just the second country in the world after the us to record 600,000 deaths from covid—19. protesters against how the government has dealt with the pandemic stage this demonstration on rio's copacabana beach where 600 white handkerchiefs were put to remember the dead. deaths from coronavirus have been falling in brazil recently, more than 70% of people they have now received at least one vaccine dose. president biden is urging companies in the us to fire workers who have not been vaccinated. the latest official figures show only 56% of americans have been fully vaccinated, and mr biden says he will soon bring in roles requiring all healthcare workers to have the jab. he wants individual states to do
1:17 am
the same for teachers. but there has been opposition, as our north america correspondence found in new england. chanting: freedom over fear! freedom over fear! _ it is, they say, about freedom, an individual�*s right to choose if they get vaccinated, even if they are a nurse. one of the new battlegrounds over covid in the us is the requirement in some hospitals that all their staff have had the jab. but some, they say, would rather lose theirjob. leah cushman's not just a nurse, but a state politician. my beliefs are religious. i believe that my creator endowed me with an immune system that protects me, and if i get sick, that's an act of god. what, you've never been vaccinated against anything? i have before i was saved by the lord, yes. with that logic, you wouldn't take any medicines. that's not true, no. i wouldn't take one that affects the immune system this way. of course, even vaccinated
1:18 am
staff have the potential to pass on the virus to patients, but hospital managers say unvaccinated health care workers getting sick also puts more strain on resources and suspect for some there are biggerforces at play. it's notjust covid, there are other vaccines that employees are required to have. mmr is an example, hepatitis. so again, this is a highly electrified issue, if you will, and we all recognise that. and politicised. to say it's not political would be disingenuous. save our teachers! and the controversy swept up another profession too, with school staff being threatened with sacking if they don't get vaccinated, including in new york city. in connecticut, teacher kahseim outlaw refused the vaccine and testing, and has already lost his job. i do not use any kind of synthetic ingredients in my life, whether that be for medicinal purposes, supplementation, food and fuel.
1:19 am
so the idea of becoming inoculated is something that goes directly against the way that i live my life and have lived for the last decade or more. what is the harm in getting tested every week? so, when we talk about harm, i view it as an unnecessary medical procedure. kahseim had covid so says his natural immunity should suffice. but that's not enough for a government ramping up pressure on the unvaccinated. aleem maqbool, bbc news. a shortage of abattoir workers had lost pig farmers across the uk facing had lost pig farmers across the ukfacing human had lost pig farmers across the uk facing human disaster, that is according to the national farmers union. healthy pigs are ready having to be destroyed as their meat cannot be processed quickly enough, with the industry blaming brexit in the pandemic. the government says it is keeping the situation under review and working closely with the sector. danny savage reports from east yorkshire.

1:26 am
on twitter, there is plenty more on all of our stories on the bbc news website, thanks for watching. hello again. friday was another very mild day across the whole of the uk, even those places where it stayed cloudy throughout. however, there were some places where the sunshine popped out. northern england was one of the sunnier places. it was also one of the warmest places in the uk. the day's highest temperature — ryhill in west yorkshire, 22 degrees celsius. that's eight degrees celsius higher than the october average, so it was very, very warm indeed. now looking at the satellite picture, you can see those areas that had the clearest skies. we've seen some clearing skies across east anglia and south—east england behind this cold front because what we're seeing at the moment is cooler and fresher air starting to spread in from the near continent. and that's significant because as humidity levels drop, the clouds will increasingly break up, and that's happening right
1:27 am
now across east anglia and the south—east. meanwhile, for northern england, wales, south west england, southern and eastern scotland, still a lot of low cloud around, a few spots of drizzle, bit of mist and fog for some. and then there's this band of rain that's really pepping up at the moment. some heavy rain for northern ireland, western scotland bringing a risk of some localised surface water flooding. now, the rain will tend to turn a little lighter and patchier through saturday, and the weather front will finally, after a couple of days, start to move away into parts of the north of england and the north of wales. midlands, east anglia, southern counties of england should be much more in the way of sunny spells compared with recent days, and temperature still pretty high for october, 18—19 degrees. the second half of the weekend sees that cold front across northern areas pushing southwards. it's a weakening feature, so there won't be much rain left on it by the time it reaches east anglia and south—east england, but there could be an odd patch. for most of the uk on sunday, it's another dry day with plenty of sunshine around. however, there will be a fair few blustery showers across the far north and west of scotland.
1:28 am
temperatures easing somewhat across northern areas, but still very warm for the south of england and wales. monday, well, it looks like we'll see another band of rain push its way into scotland, turning increasingly heavy, some fairly gusty winds with this as well. temperatures will be coming down further across northern scotland, just around 11—12 degrees for some here. but for northern ireland, england and wales, still above average, but those temperatures are getting a little bit closer to the seasonal norms. 14 degrees, for example, is about right in london. and eventually we should get down there on tuesday. a lot of dry weather for many into next week.
