overturned after more than a half a century. principal did not prosecute orsay century. principal did not prosecute or say they did not get the justice that they deserve. also in the us, the so—called qi that they deserve. also in the us, the so—called q! on shannon one of hundreds who stormed the us capitol, he did so in a fur hat and horns and he did so in a fur hat and horns and he has been sentenced to 41 months in prison. we begin in the uk. a row about whether mps should have second jobs continues to engulf westminster. in the next few minutes they will vote on the governments plan for how they should be monitored and the opposition labour parties plan. just to remind you that row comes after the former conservative mp owen patterson broke lobbying rules while working as a consultant for two companies. the governments try to delay parliament to get a hold

disciplinary reviewed at the same time after a massive outcry abandoned the date do not plan a day later. mr patterson then resigned as an mp. borisjohnson was quizzed about all this. do you recognise that given your responsibility to uphold the ministerial code, to uphold the rules, uphold the standards, it's really important that you should not give any impression that when there is an independent court that found on 11! occasions of paid lobbying that somehow you think it's ok, can you clarify that you don't think it's ok and you don't think that owen patterson did was right? of course and that's the first thing i said when i began on the subject two weeks ago. quite frankly, i think it is extraordinary that colleagues sometimes do behave in this way. it is extraordinary that colleagues at the time of the vote

on owen paterson's conduct, conservative mps were ordered to back the government's to rip up the system by a three line whip. that's when mps are told they must vote the way the party wants them to. the prime minister went on to admit it was a "mistake" to conflate the paterson row with a plan to overhaul the disciplinary process. i always sought to do, and i think the committee would agree that i've accepted _ the committee would agree that i've accepted that it was a mistake in that it _ accepted that it was a mistake in that it was — accepted that it was a mistake in that it was my mistake. all we wanted — that it was my mistake. all we wanted to— that it was my mistake. all we wanted to do was to see whether in view of— wanted to do was to see whether in view of the — wanted to do was to see whether in view of the particular and frankly tragic— view of the particular and frankly tragic circumstances of the case there _ tragic circumstances of the case there was— tragic circumstances of the case there was any scope across party agreement on an appeals process. thats— agreement on an appeals process. that's all— agreement on an appeals process. that's all we were trying to do. earlier on wednesday, mrjohnson was involved in heated exchanges with labour leader sir keir starmer at prime minister's questions. we still haven't shut the door, the

revolving door where ministers are regulating a country one minute and working for them then ask for plenty of cases that still stay in this house. there are two simple steps to sorting this out. proper independence and powers for the business appointments committee and banning thesejob swaps. business appointments committee and banning these job swaps. will the prime minister take those steps? mr speaker, i've called, as you know, and indeed you have called, mr speaker, for a cross—party approach to this. and what i think we need to do is work together on the basis of the independent report by the committee of standards in public life to take things forward and, indeed, to address the appeals process. but what i think everybody can see, mr speaker, is that in a classic lawyerly way, the right honourable gentleman is now trying to prosecute others for exactly the sorts of action that he took himself. in terms of the upcoming vote, mrjohnson, announced his plans

on tuesday via twitter. he published a letter to the commons speaker in which he said... meanwhile, labourwants to ban all second jobs, apart from "public service" roles or professions requiring registration. these include mps working as nhs doctors and nurses, or in the police and as army reservists. helen catt, westminster. help us through the next minutes. help us through the next minutes. help me understand how many votes there are going to be and what order they come in. we there are going to be and what order they come in-— they come in. we are expecting to vote and i they come in. we are expecting to vote and i can _ they come in. we are expecting to vote and i can actually bring - they come in. we are expecting to vote and i can actually bring you . vote and i can actually bring you the result of the first one foot up the result of the first one foot up the first one was on labour as planned. labours motioned that he put forward was to ban mps from working as paid consultants, it said

that the standards committee should come up with recommendations by the sist come up with recommendations by the 31st of january next year and after that and he's we should be able to debate and vote on that. the result is that it has been rejected. it was 282 against 231. that was expected because that needed to be defeated by the government to be able to put its plan to mps was that they will be voting now on the governments plan. the governments plan is remarkably similar. it also recommends banning mps from taking jobsis recommends banning mps from taking jobs is paid political consultants. and it also says that the committee on standards needs to offer report tjy on standards needs to offer report by the 31st of january. it doesn't provide for mps do then vote and debate on it but it does add in another element, the element that mps should only be able to work on outside interests for a reasonable limit of time. outside interests for a reasonable limit of time-— outside interests for a reasonable limit of time. that is what mps are now considering. _ limit of time. that is what mps are now considering. once _ limit of time. that is what mps are now considering. once these - limit of time. that is what mps are j now considering. once these votes are complete, is that it or does the standards committee get evolved over the next few weeks and months and

finding what they are suggesting? yeah, that's pretty much the case. it's not the case that when this boat passes this rule willjust result what it's doing is saying that the government that labour both think that the rules are changed but actually this is a matter for polymer. what will happen then is the standards committee will come back with its recommendations on what changes should be made. it will also need to look at the detail of things like if you say there's going to be able to reasonable limit on mp activity, what is that reasonable limit? that's a sort of thing that the standards committee will need to come back with and that will be presented to mps. it's quite a long process, i think this is the start of the process with all its more an indicator of a direction of travel. having said that, labours argument was by not providing a book vote and debate on this in their amendment that they've put forward this afternoon that that would mean that that will basically fall by the wayside once the committee reports. the government source said to be no, they don't believe that's the case

at all they believe that this provides adequate political buy—in and it's not a case of letting it slip away. certainly it's not something you would expect to happen immediate. ajudge has sentenced a judge has sentenced to a prominent supporter of the human onset the cueing on shaman has been given 41 months for the his involvement on the storming of the capital. he was one of the most public faces of what happened at the capitol. he wore this interesting outfit throughout the whole thing. lots of photographs on the front page of many papers around the world. he was one of thousands of donald trump supporters who were attempting to stop the transfer of power to joe who were attempting to stop the transfer of power tojoe biden after the biden election victory. will speak tojulia the biden election victory. will speak to julia manchester. the biden election victory. will

speak tojulia manchester. we knew that he was going to be convicted because he had indicated that he accepted he done something wrong, is that right? we accepted he done something wrong, is that riuht? ~ ~' ., , accepted he done something wrong, is that riuht? ~ ~' .,, ., accepted he done something wrong, is that riuht? ~ ~' ., , ., ., that right? we knew he was going to be convicted- — that right? we knew he was going to be convicted. really _ that right? we knew he was going to be convicted. really from _ that right? we knew he was going to be convicted. really from the - be convicted. really from the get—go. the issue was how long was he going to serve and the judge had landed upon the sentence that's obviously a big story in the us but particularly in washington, dc. because he really became the face of the insurrection onjanuary because he really became the face of the insurrection on january six. really one of those many people to enter the chamber that day. very big day i think for washington, dc. especially when it comes to the saga of january six convictions. jacob did ofjanuary six convictions. jacob did notjacob chancery is one of thousands of people that stormed the capital and throughout we've seen a slew of people who have been convicted or sentenced due to their storming of the capital and breaking end. but there is a way to go to make sure everyone gets justice. earlier in the week we were talking

about steve bannon and how mr trump and his supporters potentially connected with what happened in the capital did the q shaman, did he talk about why he ended up in the capital? taste talk about why he ended up in the caital? ~ . ., ,._ capital? we have heard him say essentially _ capital? we have heard him say essentially why _ capital? we have heard him say essentially why he _ capital? we have heard him say essentially why he ended - capital? we have heard him say essentially why he ended up - capital? we have heard him say i essentially why he ended up there. sort of similar to what everyone else is said about entering the capital that they wanted to visit, they wanted to make a statement, make a movement in honour of president trump and such. those comments definitely don't reflect well on president trump and those around president trump remember president trump that same day was holding a rally on the national mall in dc which is not far at all from the us capitol building. he very clearly instigated this riot when he told attendees and protesters to march to the capital. definitely a long saga and with this issue with

steve bannon, there's the question of how much did steve bannon know and how involved he was with the organising of the insurrection. appreciate you coming on. thank you. we started in west minister in washington but if you are a regular viewer of outside source we cover all the big stories from around the world. one of the main stores in africa. doctors say 10 people have been shot dead during protests against last month's military takeover. the flashpoint is the capital khartoum. phone lines and the internet have been cut, leading to fears of an attempt to cover up violence. the army is blocking several bridges into and out of the city. it's difficult to assess what's going on. these are latest pictures we have of khartoum, taken hours before the protest got under way. as you can see there's a heavy security presence.

the bbc�*s sally nabil is in khartoum. a few protesters have been killed and thousands of other have been injured according to medical sources. there are reports about live ammunition being used to disperse the crowds but this hasn't been confirmed yet. but what we know for sure is that the protesters have been heavily tear gassed by security forces during the demonstrations that took part in different parts of the country to reject the coup and call for a transition to civil rule. in fact, since the morning there were signs that things are going to escalate because phone lines are down in the country now. the sudanese are totally cut off from the rest of the world. the internet has been down here for nearly three weeks was up and today phone lines are down to. and the people here associate this communication blackout with a

possibility that things might take a violent turn in the field, which they actually did. it is a pretty tense situation. protests today aren't a coincidence — activists called for mass demonstrations for what should have been a milestone day for sudan. a milestone because the military was supposed to be handing power to a civilian who would a sovereign council that would represent the military and the people. that idea comes from a power sharing deal agreed in 2019. this hasn't happened. and to understand why we need to go back to october 25th. translation: first, the state i of emergency declared all of the country. second, the country remains committed to the content of the constitutional declaration in the interim period in 2019 and the interim agreement in south sudan that was signed in october 2020. so that was the moment sudan's top general declared

a state of emergency, dissolved the sovereign council and ousted the civilian cabinet. that was october 25th. three weeks later he announced a new sovereign council and appointed — himself to lead it. their first meeting was on monday. the general promised a new future. he also promised to form a new civilian government. many doubt that. while that's been happening, these anti—coup protesters have been demonstrating regularly — demanding civilian rule. they've been met by a brutal crackdown. doctors says 3a have died in the unrest. ten have died in the past 2a hours. many outside sudan have expressed concern. here's the us secretary general antony blinken, who is currently in kenya. sudan had been on a path toward a democracy and stability. returning to that path is the best way for sudan to attain peace and prosperity, become a leader on the continent and to restore very strong support from the international community. sudan's military leader

insists his actions don't amount to a coup but are a push to "rectify the course of the transition". here's sally nabil again, on why protesters dont believe that. actually what we've been hearing from protesters weather today or the past few days, they accused the military rulers of ignoring them, of turning a blind eye to the repeated calls of democratic transition to civil rule. they're notjust ignoring the people in the street i've been told but they are also ignoring international and western powers who have been exercising a lot of pressure on the military junta to try at least reach a compromise with the head of the interim government, dissolve the interim government, currently under house arrest. there is no sign that things are going to go for a breakthrough or that this deadlock is going to be resolved soon. the people here are

pretty determined to continue protesting until they force the military leaders to listen to them and hand over power to civilians. but so far there are no signs that those in power are listening. back to the us for really important story. two men convicted of killing the civil rights leader malcolm x will be exonerated. this is the headline the new york times is published. malcolm x is one of the most influential leaders to fight against racism. 1966 convictions are expected to be thrown out after a lengthy investigation. this validates doubts about who killed maxum two malcolm x back in 1965. barber but usher is live with us at the barber, for people of all the desserts please ask blaine the roots of the doubts there is always been about these convictions.—

of the doubts there is always been about these convictions. three men were convicted _ about these convictions. three men were convicted of— about these convictions. three men were convicted of killing _ about these convictions. three men were convicted of killing malcolm i about these convictions. three men| were convicted of killing malcolm x, one who confessed to the crime, the other two who maintained their innocence. forthose other two who maintained their innocence. for those who there have been questions all along over the decades about whether they were in fact innocent. what happened was that netflix broadcast a documentary in 2020 that pull together all the questions, the fact that they had alibis, the fact that evidence could have to another suspect and so on. and broadcast on and off the back of that the district attorney for manhattan decided to conduct a review which he did together with the lawyers for the two men, one who has by now passed away. and they came up with, having reviewed many documents of course hampered because much of the evidence is no longer available. many of the people involved in the trial are dead but they came up with enough evidence to

him at home. so confirm his alibi. they also consistently said that there was a significant weakness in there was a significant weakness in the case because the man was convicted of the crime inc. investment said on the extent that these two men were not his accomplices. so those were the key things amongst others that led this review to conclude that the two men should be exonerated. the european union has stepped up efforts to resolve the migrant crisis on the belarus border with poland. it's sending $800,000 worth of food, blankets and aid to migrants who are stranded in freezing conditions. after ten days of confrontations with polish border security, some migrants have packed up and left. many of them were taken on buses to a reception centre in belarus not farfrom the border — there they received warm food and clothes. some arrived last night, and spent the night at this temporary shelter in grodno.

there are lots of children here among them. others are finding ways to help migrants too. this woman is the mayor of a polish town on the poland— belarus border. translation: a green | lamp in a window means people live here who want to give help to people in need. a green light means a place you can trust. people are afraid of being judged by their neighbours for helping migrants. this crisis is playing out on the kuznica border crossing. on one side is poland — an eu member — the other side is belarus — which isn't. stranded in the middle are the migrants — trying to reach the european union. according to poland 1,000 are at a new makeshift camp at the borderfence. and this was the scene today. this was the scene 24hours ago. polish police used water cannon and tear gas. here's the polish police

discussing that today. yesterday's events were dangerous, big stones, bottles, sticks, metal rods, also blast and tear grenades were used there, as a result of these incidents wounded were nine policemen and policewomen, 2 border guards and 1 soldier. polish border guards accused belarus of giving migrants stun grenades. and today the belarusian border guards responded to that. translation: the shelling of unarmed people on the belarusian side with - stun grenades is a flagrant violation of international norms including the right to migrants seeking asylum. what happened can be regarded as an attempt at direct aggression against belarus. we sent a request to the polish side with the requirement to provide clarifications and the facts on the use of violence against refugees located on belarusian territory. poland and the eu have accused

acting of helping them to the board with the eu. the accusation is that belarus is doing this to destabilise the eu. the bbc is put this allegation to the ambassador. the bbc put this allegation to russia's ambassador to the eu. i recently heard sort of a slogan circulating widely in the west — "whatever happens, keep calm and blame russia." so, i'm not surprised hearing almost on a daily basis allegations referring to my country's responsibility for whatever happens. first of all, russia had nothing to do with this crisis of emerging and unfolding as it has, but in the circumstance, russia has been quite instrumental in trying to ease the tensions. so, sending various diplomatic signals in different directions.

in another development, the german chancellor angela merkel has spoken to the belarusian president for the second time this week. adam easton is in warsaw. poland we know has huge concerns about what's happening. is there a sign that this is de—escalating to some degree now? sign that this is de-escalating to some degree now?— sign that this is de-escalating to some degree now? certainly there were no classes _ some degree now? certainly there were no classes that _ some degree now? certainly there were no classes that we _ some degree now? certainly there were no classes that we saw - some degree now? certainly there were no classes that we saw on i were no classes that we saw on tuesday at that checkpoint today. according to the polish border guards, we can't verify this because journalists are not allowed under the polish border under the state of emergency that's been in place, the border agency said in a posted video footage of what they said were migrants leaving the camp. we don't know where they've gone too and we don't know whether they've gone to other places on the border or whether they've gone to minsk. certainly iraqi airways is sending a

plane to belarus on thursday to repatriate any of its citizens who want to go back to iraq. but we simply don't know where those migrants have gone. but we have seen is certainly diplomatic efforts are stepping up now. as you mentioned with angela merkel calling lukashenko for the second time in three days and urging belarus to accept eu food, blankets to the migraines that are still stranded on the border in the temperature is obviously as winter comes are dropping. it's already freezing, it's going to go below freezing soon. so this is absolutely no conditions for anybody to be sleeping out in the open. t’ere conditions for anybody to be sleeping out in the open. i've only a minute left. _ sleeping out in the open. i've only a minute left, does _ sleeping out in the open. i've only a minute left, does the _ sleeping out in the open. i've only i a minute left, does the government have public support behind its approach to this? t have public support behind its approach to this?— have public support behind its approach to this? i think generally s-ueakin approach to this? i think generally speaking the _ approach to this? i think generally speaking the public _ approach to this? i think generally speaking the public does - approach to this? i think generally speaking the public does support i speaking the public does support them. in fact obviously the european

union broadly speaking supports not to allow these migrants into the european union. but i think there is also a lot of people here in poland who want medics, ngos and other agencies and journalists as well to be able to have access to this border region to be able to give distance to assistance to the people that need it. and to hold the state authorities to account so we know what they are doing and we don't have that situation here at the moment. and polish mps have approved a new law which will outlaw the restrictions in the border area to continue after the state of emergency ends at the beginning of december. although they are planning to allow some journalists under circum— dances back in. to allow some journalists under circum- dances back in.- to allow some journalists under circum- dances back in. thank you. ? circumstances. _ circum- dances back in. thank you. ? circumstances. will _ circum- dances back in. thank you. ? circumstances. will be _ circum- dances back in. thank you. ? circumstances. will be live _ circum- dances back in. thank you. ? circumstances. will be live in - circumstances. will be live in mexico city as we look at the issue

of immigration into the us was up that's coming up in a couple of minutes. hello there. it wasn't a bad day today for many of us. a lot of dry weather around, a good spell of sunshine after that chilly start, it felt quite pleasant into the afternoon. but there was a lot more cloud across northern and western parts of the uk, particularly western scotland where it will stay breezy or even windy with further outbreaks of rain. but for most, tonight it's going to be dry. and it's always drier the further south, closer to this area of high pressure. in the north we've got these low—pressure systems and weather fronts hence the stronger winds, thicker cloud and the outbreaks of rain. it'll stay quite wet and blustery through the night across northern and western scotland, perhaps showers into northern island, northwest england, northwest wales. elsewhere eastern scotland,

much of central england, south wales, it will be dry with clear spells. another fairly chilly night to come here because of the lighter winds and clear skies but milder further north and west. for thursday here's the pressure to the cell, lower pressure to the north. the key to thursday and friday's weather will be the mild very mild indeed particularly where we get any brightness. so we could start off with sunshine, central, eastern england, eastern scotland with some shelter here from the south—westerly breeze but it will be cloudier further west with outbreaks of rain. windy again across northern scotland. you can see gusts of 50 miles an hour here through the afternoon. further south those winds will be light but a breezy day to come i think for all areas. very mild indeed for many, we could see 16 or 17 across the far northeast of scotland giving brightness and the fern effect from the south—westerly winds. as we head through friday's similar set up, high pressure to the south, low—pressure to the north. a bit of a repeat performance.

could see more in the way of cloud i think for friday for many of us. could see some glimmers here and there though across sheltered eastern parts of the uk but the north or northwest, thicker cloud here with outbreaks of rain and those temperatures well above this seasonal norm, 1a or 15 degrees. this will change into the weekend. we start to see this cold front advance southwards as high pressure pulls back into the atlantic. and that will open the floodgates to an arctic northerly. those blue colours we can see will come racing down the country by sunday i think all areas will be in that arctic air mass. it is turning colder this weekend with a return to some widespread overnight frost.

hello, i'm ros atkins. welcome to outside source. the uk parliament has voted in favour in the newjob that would limit the type of second jobs mps can take. here are the pictures from the house of commons. 270 voted in favour of the proposals brought in after an ongoing row over lobbying and second jobs. there were no votes against. two men convicted of killing malcolm x will have their convictions overturned after half a century. prosecutors say khalil islam and mohammed azizi did not get thejustice islam and mohammed azizi did not get the justice they deserve. we'll look

at the issue of immigration into the us ahead of an meeting with president biden and the mexican leaders and canadian leaders. mps have voted in favour of this government proposal to curb this extra work they are allowed to do in addition to their duties as an mp. here is the picture coming in from the house of commons. let's bring back helen cat. tell us more. mps have voted on the government's plan that bands mps acting as paid political consultants, and suggests there is a limit on the time if we can spend on otherjobs, so that was

a government amendment that was put forward after the opposition put forward after the opposition put forward similar plan. the vote on this was quite interesting. 297 mps voted for it, no mps voted against. you might think why is the opposition not voting for something that does what they were asking for, banning people from acting as consultants. that's because they believe the government's version of this doesn't go far enough. it isn't strong enough they say because it didn't provide for mps to take some actions. what it does do is back the idea of a ban and turns over to the committee on standards to look at this and come back with some recommendations. labour wanted another vote built into the whole process to guarantee it goes ahead. it'll go to the standards committee which is made up of mps and members, and they will come up with recommendations before january next

year about how the rule should be changed. if they should be changed and how they should be changed to curb the second jobs. ten and how they should be changed to curb the second jobs.— curb the second “obs. ten days is a lona da curb the second “obs. ten days is a long day in — curb the second jobs. ten days is a long day in politics _ curb the second jobs. ten days is a long day in politics because - curb the second jobs. ten days is a long day in politics because it - long day in politics because it doesn't seem long ago that the government was defending owen patterson against a move to suspend him immediately. this patterson against a move to suspend him immediately.— him immediately. this is what sarked him immediately. this is what sparked this — him immediately. this is what sparked this entire _ him immediately. this is what sparked this entire latest - him immediately. this is what sparked this entire latest raft | him immediately. this is what i sparked this entire latest raft of rows about standards and politics. there was a conservative mp, owen patterson, who had been found to have broken the rules on lobbying. he's always maintained his innocence, but when what usually happens is the mps have to vote to accept that verdict, and they were going to vote to suspend him from parliament. the government intervened and backed an attempt to try and pause that suspension and change the system. that's what exploded this whole row ten days ago and set this whole process off. the government has since done a huge and you turn to the point where this

afternoon we have the prime minister in front of the liaison committee. admitting that it was a mistake to conflate those two issues. actually conceding he thinks the process may have been fair but found that this finding against odin patterson, thinking out accepts the breach of the rules by owen patterson had made the rules by owen patterson had made the discussion of other changes impossible. the irony is for any other changes to the disciplinary system to work, there needs to be agreement between the parties, and that result this evening short of shows how far apart they are because if labour aren't capping... though size of got closer together. helen, thanks very _ size of got closer together. helen, thanks very much. _ let's talk about mexico, the united states and immigration.

on thursday, joe biden will host the leaders of canada and mexico. here's a former white house official. it's a survival issue for the white house in the midterm elections. that's why it has to come up, and it may come up in a way where they're negotiating other issues, but at the end of the day, the united states, president biden, the white house needs mexico to controlthe flow of migrants. the context here is that since president biden took office injanuary, the us has seen a record number of migrants at its southern border. in october, us border patrol intercepted over 164,000 people. during the trump administration, the record was 144,000 migrants in may 2019. also, in the past 12 months, more than 1.7 million migrants were detained along the border — that's the highest yearly total on record. the challenge is illustrated by what's happening now. these pictures are from southern mexico, and this is group of thousands of migrants from across latin america

who are heading north to the us. this is one of them. translation: for cubans, the doors to the us have i always been open, that's no secret. with or without immigration policies that favour us, cubans have always got in. it's been harder with the remain in mexico policy, but i think that's finished for good now. he referred there to the halting of the �*remain in mexico' policy. that's a trump—era immigration policy which forced people seeking asylum at the border to wait in mexico for us court dates, which were weeks or months away. president biden stopped the policy, but there are plans to bring it back. there are other reasons migrants are heading for the us in record numbers. now, of course, a caravan of this nature places pressure on mexico's facilities. this is the director of mexico's asylum agency. every single nationality has increased. in addition to that, we have

all these locations, and of course, these numbers are growing. our capacity's limited. can you cope? well, actually, with all these people coming now, we're kind of being overwhelmed. that's very clear. critics say that a lack of funding shows the mexican government isn't serious about helping migrants. well, here's the mexican president speaking to the bbc�*s will grant. translation: there is no other country that designates as many j resources in proportionl to its economic capacity as mexico to help its people, especially the poorest, - and mexico remains in solidarity with the migrants, too. - mexico and the us have plans to tackle the root causes of the migration issue. that includes a $4 billion development fund for central america — in particular for el salvador, guatemala, and honduras.

but there's pressure on three leaders ahead thursday's summit. this is one migrant advocacy group in mexico. i think that the mexican president has to put this theme and this subject of migration at the top of the agenda in order to have resources to obtain all these people. all these migrants are coming through our country, and the united states want us to push them in the sack, so we need more resources and we can have national cooperation on that. especially with children, because we have a lot of children that are immigrating alone and with theirfamilies. let's speak to laura trevelyan from mexico city. we heard a number of clips with people referencing resources, so does this boil down the money? who picks up the bill? you know, ithink the money? who picks up the bill? you know, i think it's less money

and more motivation because mexico is a stepping up enforcement at its southern border with guatemala as partly why you're seeing the number of arrests at the us—mexico border has dropped. the motivation, why so many people are crossing into mexico from south and central america, heading to the united states, hoping they will get a better life. that is not something that can be controlled ljy not something that can be controlled by money because if you talked to will grant, who has been travelling with that caravan, people are fleeing crime and gang violence and corruption. they're fleeing dictatorships and authoritarian governments like the one in nicaragua, and none of that will change from more investment in better visa and asylum processing systems. we better visa and asylum processing s stems. ~ ,, ., .,

political issue. but what is one in mexico on the left is a criticism of the militarisation of the mexican border and the tactics that the police are using against migrants. so, that's controversial, but president lopez has extremely high ratings over a ball.— ratings over a ball. thank you very much, ratings over a ball. thank you very much. laura _ ratings over a ball. thank you very much. laura -- — ratings over a ball. thank you very much, laura -- overall. _ ratings over a ball. thank you very much, laura -- overall. the - ratings over a ball. thank you very i much, laura -- overall. the summit much, laura —— overall. the summit is on thursday. inflation is something that is getting more and more attention. the uk has its highest level of inflation for nearly ten years. several reasons — higherfuel bills are a big one. and here's are the overall numbers. prices rose 4.2% in the year to october — up from 3.1% the month before. that's a biggerjump than expected. and it's way above the bank of england's target, which is 2%. here's the analyst janet mui with more on what's going on. a major driver is energy costs,

given that in october, the energy regulator ofgem has allowed suppliers to let the price cap by as much as 12% to offset the higher wholesale gas prices. in addition, we also saw underlying inflation rising as well. that's because the second—hand cartels, the prices are up by more than 20% year on year because of the shortage in the new cars, and also, we saw higher prices and hospitality and accommodation services because of higher vat rises. as this chart shows, this is coming after a number of years when rising prices haven't been a big concern. that's changing, and it's harder still when the rising prices are on essential energy. lalitha try is a researcher at the think tank resolution foundation. this is going to be a really tough

that delay could keep pushing prices up. here's janet mui again. it does suggest that in the near term, _ it does suggest that in the near term, at— it does suggest that in the near term, at least in this winter, if we -et term, at least in this winter, if we get a _ term, at least in this winter, if we get a really— term, at least in this winter, if we get a really cold winter, we are likely— get a really cold winter, we are likely to — get a really cold winter, we are likely to see higher gas prices throughout europe because russia has such a _ throughout europe because russia has such a high— throughout europe because russia has such a high percentage of gas supply into europe. actually, 14 countries are reliant — into europe. actually, 14 countries are reliant on over 50% of their energy— are reliant on over 50% of their energy supply from russia, so that's a pretty— energy supply from russia, so that's a pretty critical situation. that's the uk and europe. in the united states, inflation is even higher — 6.2%. thats the highest rate for more than 30 years. that's the highest rate for more than 30 years. plenty of economists say we shouldn't worry too much because they expect this to be "transitory". in others words, expect inflation to come down soon. but will it be soon enough? liz martins is from hsbc. imean, i mean, everything is transitory

eventually, but it's lasting longer than i think many expected. hopefully, with the pandemic receding when it does, and some of the bottlenecks out of asia starting to ease, we hope that some of those global pressures will reseed and that will bring price pressures down in the uk. but it has lasted longer, and it is still a worry. usually when inflation shoots up, central banks try to apply the brakes. that hasn't happened yet. at the moment, the us federal reserve is doing the opposite — buying bonds — although it says that will end soon. us interest rates meanwhile are close to 0%. the european central bank is taking a similar stance. it says it won't raise rates for the next year at least. and in the uk, interest rates are still at 0.1%, having been cut during the pandemic. economists are certain rates will now start to go up. simon french is chief economist at the investment bank panmure gordon.

look at what's called core inflation, and the uk, that's 3.2%. so, that means that there are price pressures that are taking inflation well above the 2% target, and you can probably see some similar patterns elsewhere. i think that's where you get into whether or not we are actually facing a period of high and persistent inflation that may last a while. probably in this instance, it's probably going to be high for two years, and that's pretty high given the recovery is still pretty fragile. the recovery is still pretty frauile. �* , ., fragile. and if there is longer term inflation, what _ fragile. and if there is longer term inflation, what would _ fragile. and if there is longer term inflation, what would be _ fragile. and if there is longer term inflation, what would be the - fragile. and if there is longer term | inflation, what would be the drivers of that in the uk. tt’s of that in the uk. it's essentially auoin u. of that in the uk. it's essentially going up- you — of that in the uk. it's essentially going up. you want _ of that in the uk. it's essentially going up. you want to _

of that in the uk. it's essentially i going up. you want to have higher growth in productivity and higher wages to go with that. what you don't want is inflation leading to higher wages because people because my cost of living has gone up. firms find it difficult to sell their goods and then it becomes a negative pattern. whether or not inflation persist depends on whether or not it translates into wage rises that are not matched by higher productivity. that's a really high judgment to make. wages are rebounding because we're coming out of the pandemic. none of the patterns of the moment look that secure, and also, we get a lot of... we import, which means the very subject, you have a global economy. pushing up commodity prices

which are 28% from a year ago in this country, and that is going to lead to higher wages. but it needs to be matched with hyper productivity or you could end up with firms finding they can't afford higher wages. with firms finding they can't afford higherwages. just with firms finding they can't afford higher wages-— with firms finding they can't afford higher wages. just quickly, linda, i was mentioning _ higher wages. just quickly, linda, i was mentioning in _ higher wages. just quickly, linda, i was mentioning in america - higher wages. just quickly, linda, i was mentioning in america and - higher wages. just quickly, linda, i was mentioning in america and thej higher wages. just quickly, linda, i i was mentioning in america and the uk interest rates are very low. would you keep them there despite the situation with inflation? each country will _ situation with inflation? each country will be _ situation with inflation? each country will be slightly - situation with inflation? tam country will be slightly different, but ultimately, what they're looking for is whether or not in two years, they think inflation will roughly be around a target of 2%. but because it's such an uncertain period, i think the forecast of some degree of normalisation should be taken with a grain of salt. normalisation and we... forthe uk, may be

it left hundreds trapped in their cars overnight, severed rail links to canada's largest port in the city of vancouver, and has cut power supply to thousands of homes. the rain has also brought with it mudslides, which forced the evacuation of an entire town. hundreds of people, many of them children, were loaded onto buses after being airlifted to safety from a town in british columbia. others, meanwhile, have found themselves stuck inside with the flood waters rising. we're safe, we're a little bit above where the flooding has occurred. and, yeah, again, lucky that that happened. my aunt and uncle's house is in the water. my cousin, who just finished having a baby, two days ago, their house is totally flooded, they have nowhere to go. across the border in washington state, torrential rains and high winds have also been wreaking havoc, flooding roads and again trapping

people in their cars. some counted themselves lucky to have escaped. had to crawl through the passenger side because the car ended up tilting with the driver's side towards the ground, a little bit. so, crawled out the passenger side and, yeah, was able to get out, thankfully. the outskirts of vancouver have now experienced both their hottest and their wettest days on record within the space ofjust a few months. as in many other parts of the world, it has left people here wondering whether this is what constitutes the new normal. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story... the uk's house of commons has voted to ban mps taking paid work as political consultants,

some people suffer chest infections are breathing problems and sometimes it gets so bad we have to admit them. levels between zero and 50 are considered good and between 51 and 100, are satisfactory. but parts of delhi are recording figures closer to 400 or above, which is categorised as severe. so, hospitals have been facing a surge in patients, with residents wheezing and finding it hard to breathe. what�*s causing it? several factors are at play, car and factory emissions, burning crops double. what will that local governments do about it? we have to come with our stalls in any weather - because it's our livelihood - and the pollution is unbearable. the government must take some steps. we're forced to work because we

can't stay indoors forever. - and that ends this addition of outside source. thanks for watching, see you soon. hello there. it wasn�*t a bad day today for many of us. a lot of dry weather around, a good spell of sunshine after that chilly start, it felt quite pleasant into the afternoon. but there was a lot more cloud across northern and western parts of the uk, particularly western scotland where it will stay breezy or even windy with further outbreaks of rain. but for most, tonight it�*s going to be dry. and it�*s always drier the further south, closer to this area of high pressure. in the north we�*ve got these low—pressure systems and weather fronts hence the stronger winds, thicker cloud and the outbreaks of rain. it�*ll stay quite wet and blustery through the night across northern and western scotland, perhaps showers into northern island, northwest england, northwest wales. elsewhere eastern scotland, much of central england, south wales, it will be dry with clear spells. another fairly chilly night to come here because of

the lighter winds and clear skies but milder further north and west. for thursday here�*s the pressure to the south, lower pressure to the north. the pressure to the south, the key to thursday and friday�*s weather will be the mild air coming in from the southwest. very mild indeed, particularly where we get any brightness. so, we could start off with sunshine, central, eastern england, eastern scotland with some shelter here from the south—westerly breeze but it will be cloudier further west with outbreaks of rain. windy again across northern scotland. you can see gusts of 50 miles an hour here through the afternoon. further south those winds will be light but a breezy day to come, i think, for all areas. very mild indeed for many, we could see 16 or 17 across the far northeast of scotland, giving brightness and the fern effect from the south—westerly winds. as we head through friday�*s similar set up, high pressure to the south, low—pressure to the north. a bit of a repeat performance. could see more in the way of cloud, i think, for friday for many of us.

could see some glimmers here and there though across sheltered eastern parts of the uk, but the north or northwest, thicker cloud here with outbreaks of rain and those temperatures well above this seasonal norm, 14 or 15 degrees. this will change into the weekend. we start to see this cold front advance southwards as high pressure pulls back into the atlantic. and that will open the floodgates to an arctic northerly. those blue colours we can see will come racing down the country by sunday i think all areas will be in that arctic air mass. it is turning colder this weekend with a return to some widespread overnight frost.
