11:07 am
13%, 18%, in excess of 20%. the nhs in a very difficult position. markets are concerned. people have not quite cottoned on to how much the pound are struggling, how much interest payments are going up. all of that is so difficult to navigate, plainly, to get us through the winter. at the same time, this political challenge. a large number of the people who voted for her loved the message of no hand—outs. they want lower taxes. how do you do lower taxes in this economic environment? bruised, fractured conservative party. a lot of them, frankly, who already regret or think that boris johnson frankly, who already regret or think that borisjohnson was wrong to resign. the party was wrong to get rid of him. those two enormous challenges for her and the scale of that will become clear even just tomorrow afternoon when mps return tomorrow afternoon when mps return to westminster. the tomorrow afternoon when mps return to westminster.— to westminster. the bbc's political
11:08 am
correspondent. _ ukraine's first lady, 0lena zelenska, has also been speaking to laura kuenssberg. in an interview recorded in kyiv, mrs zelenska said the economic impact of the war in ukraine may be tough on its allies, although britons are having to count pennies, ukrainians are counting casualties. translation: we hear that energy is getting pricier that life _ is getting pricier, but people should understand that is not coming through the west's support for ukraine but through the actions of russia. there is no comparison to the suffering of people here, but at home in the uk, as you acknowledge, people are facing painful choices because of the soaring cost of energy that's going to make things very tough for people. what would you say to our viewers watching at home who feel desperately sorry for what is happening to your people but also who feel desperately worried about their own ability to pay the bills, keep a roof over their head? what would you say to them?
11:09 am
translation: of course, i understand the situation| is very tough, but let me recall at the time of the covid—19 epidemic, ukraine was affected as well. the prices are going up in ukraine as well. but in addition, our people get killed. so, when you start counting pennies for your bank account or in your pocket, we do the same and count our casualties. these days a woman was killed walking in a park in kharkiv and many people were injured. if support is strong, this period will be short. earlier, i spoke to senior journalist irena taranyuk from our ukrainian service. i asked what stood out in the interview for her. for me, what stood out was the resilience she seems to be demonstrating. find she seems to be demonstrating. and also, she seems to be demonstrating. and also. despite — she seems to be demonstrating. fific also, despite denying she has a
11:10 am
political message, her message was very powerful. the whole interview, i think it is the first interview where we saw the first lady of ukraine and really relax, maybe because it was face to face, sitting down with laura kuenssberg, maybe they hit it off, but she seemed to open up to an interviewer in a way i have not seen her open to else previously. i think she seems much more comfortable in her new role as a first lady and also own a set of ukraine's diplomacy. let's not forget, she is next tojoe biden, travels to america, speaks to the first ladies of other democracies and the first man, let's not forget. a genuine asset for president zelensky who is the wartime leader and she is the wartime first lady, representing the country in a softer way than he probably can. he has to

11:12 am
symbolises the grief of all ukrainian mothers because the fact little boys are playing soldiers and dreaming of growing up to be able to repel russian attacks, it is a powerful image of a whole generation of ukrainian children scarred by the war. that is what i think would be the major takeout by this interview for other ukrainian women, wherever they are in the world. we for other ukrainian women, wherever they are in the world.— they are in the world. we make an im ortant they are in the world. we make an important point. _ they are in the world. we make an important point. significant - they are in the world. we make an l important point. significant number of ukrainians armed forces are women in uniform now and i suppose inevitably because she is a woman, she is part of the effort to mobilise support for ukraine. she has quite an important symbolic value for other ukrainian women. she became a value for other ukrainian women. si9 became a figurehead in her own

right, even though initially she was reluctant to come into public life. let's not forget, we are talking about a couple, nearly 20 years of marriage, they have known each other from childhood. she was always a strong woman behind, supporting her husband. but she always shunned the limelight. but the war pushed her into it, even though she was reluctant at first, and she found her place, i think. {lit reluctant at first, and she found her place, i think.— reluctant at first, and she found her place, ithink.— her place, i think. of the bbc's ukrainian _ her place, i think. of the bbc's ukrainian service. _ her place, i think. of the bbc's ukrainian service. we - her place, i think. of the bbc's ukrainian service. we will - her place, i think. of the bbc's ukrainian service. we will be . ukrainian service. we will be talking more about the interview on the front page of folk which is currently featuring 0lga zelensky. —— the front page of vogue. staying in ukraine, fighting around the russian—occupied zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in ukraine has been increasing worries of a nuclear incident there.
11:14 am
families living close to europe's largest nuclear facility say they are living in fear, despite the arrival of un monitors at the site. both russia and ukraine accuse each other of shelling the plant, with moscow claiming that ukrainian forces launched a failed attempt to storm the power station on friday. 0ur security correspondent, frank gardner, reports now from the nearby city of zaporizhzhia. siren wails under police escort, more than 100 ukrainian civilians make it to safety after enduring six months of fear and insecurity. just on the edge of zaporizhzhia city, we came across this convoy of around ll0 vehicles, streaming out of russian—held territory to the south. why are they leaving? mostly because of shelling. some of them say they simply do not want to live under russian occupation. for some, the emotion is overwhelming. they have left behind their friends and their livelihoods but this family told me they had no choice. "school forced us," said artem.
11:15 am
"they started threatening those children who refused to go to a russian school would be sent to a military academy." then there is the nearby nuclear power plant. un monitors are there now but it could still come under attack, so ukraine is taking precautions. potassium iodide tablets are being handed out to those who live nearby — a partial antidote in case there is a leak of radiation. anastasia is one of those queueing up for the pills. translation: it's scary at night, when you hear the explosions. i we live high up on the eighth floor and we can hear them coming from nikopol and other towns. i am petrified. i want to save my life and protect my child. i met the mayor of enerhodar, the town next to the nuclear plant. he is in constant contact with those who still work
11:16 am
there under russian control. are you confident that the iaea is getting a true picture of the situation at the power plant? translation: no, i really doubt the picture will be objective. - unfortunately, russia did not allow access for the international media so the story is being shaped by the russian occupiers. zaporizhzhia, the nearest city to the nuclear plant, does not feel like it is in a war zone. life largely goes on here as normal, but everyone wants this war to end and for the threat of a nuclear accident to be lifted. frank gardner, bbc news, zaporizhzhia, ukraine. let us go to rome and the vatican. ceremony taking place there now is the ratification of one of the

11:20 am
welcome at the republican rally in philadelphia. he came out all guns blazing and he kicked off his speech by branding the us president an enemy of america. he's an enemy of the state. you want to know the truth? the enemy of the state is him and the group that control him, which is circling around him. do this, do that, joe. you're going to do this, joe, right? that dig was in reply to president biden's impassioned speech earlier this week when he called mr trump a threat to democracy. we must be honest with each other and with ourselves. too much of what's happening in our country today is not normal. donald trump and the maga republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic. mr trump also had a few choice words for the fbi and the us
11:21 am
justice department over the raid on his florida home, which he called a shocking abuse of power. the fbi and thejustice department have become vicious monsters controlled by radical left scoundrels, lawyers and the media who tell them what to do, you people right there, and when to do it. so does donald trump have his eye on another turn in the white house? or is he just protecting his legacy? wendy urquhart, bbc news. voters in chile are taking part in a historic referendum on a new constitution which could radically reshape the south american country. the previous constitution was drafted by former dictator augusto pinochet. the former general turned military dictator. the new one would focus on social rights, climate and gender equality. 0ur south american correspondent katy watson has been following the story.
11:22 am
sirens it started three years ago with what has become known as chile's social outburst — mass protests over a rise in subway fares that grew to encompass deepening inequalities in the region's most stable economy. chanting top of the protesters' demands was to change chile's constitution — drawn up by a dictator. many saw that as the root of the country's problems and so the process to modernise the constitution began. it is huge in scope, covering gender parity, abortion rights, indigenous representation, and climate issues, and, if it passes, it will be one of the most progressive constitutions in the world. translation: as you can see, there is order and tranquillity i in the polling stations, as there should be. we guarantee citizens can exercise their right to vote, which is the right thing to do in a democracy. on sunday, we celebrate a tribute to democracy with great peace of mind. translation: we are very happy and very hopeful and we believe i
11:23 am
that the big winner this sunday will undoubtedly be democracy. all the conditions are in place for a calm and safe vote in the region. but in recent weeks, polls have indicated more voters plan to reject the constitution than vote for it. if that happens, it will be a blow for president gabriel boric, but he has promised a new constitutional process to ensure the pinochet—era text is finally replaced. katy watson, bbc news. people in parts of mississippi have told bbc news they are struggling to secure clean drinking water, after the water supply there was contaminated by floods. the national guard has been distributing bottled water to those in need. 0ur north america correspondent chi chi izundu reports. brown water comes out. it is not normal and it is not drinkable, so what do we do? when i first turned it,
11:24 am
it always comes out rust. i would never drink a glass of water. . i do not brush my teeth with the tap water. - idon't, so, no. come on. thank you for showing us. do you have a flashlight? no, i don't, but i can use my phone. 0k, good. a fire next door has knocked out marshall's gas and electric. he has not had clean running water, though, for eight months. and the hot water came just the same way. brown water. the hot water is brown as well. and you shower in it? yes, ma'am. and you cook with it? i cook with it. and you drink it? and i drink it. this week's water problem has been blamed on flooding damaging the local water treatment plant. some people have no water, others get it discoloured. probably, in the last week, it even got darker. it usually don't be this dark. marshall lives in west jackson, a largely black area which is the poorest part of the city in one of
11:25 am
the poorest states of america. 0ld lead—lined pipes, an under—maintained water treatment plant and years of a lack of funding has resulted in this — the national guard being called to hand out bottles of water. it's like we living back in caveman days, so to speak, you know? but see, we are in this century now, so we should be afforded all these things without having to go through what we are going through. and i understand that they are having so many issues with the pipes and so forth like that, so, hopefully, they can get all that corrected. some parts of the city now have their water restored, but many residents still do not trust it. i have been catching rainwater. since moving to jackson two years ago, serena, a law student, has always been fearful about the quality of the water. and i am fortunate because i have a filter and so, i would never drink a glass of water.
11:26 am
i do not brush my teeth with the tap water, i don't do... i wash my clothes in it, but i don't really have another option, so, no. officials are still asking the people of jackson to boil their water before use. but for residents like marshall, even if he could, that is a band aid because without an overhaul of the whole system, this city will continue to battle for the basic right of clean water. chi chi izundu, bbc news, jackson, mississippi. you are watching bbc news. britain's home secretary has said the metropolitan police must learn from what she calls its appalling mistakes. priti patel has written to the force's new commissioner, sir mark rowley, stressing the need for reform. laura trant has more. sarah everard's murder was a pivotal point in the public�*s perception of policing. the 33—year—old was kidnapped in south london on 3rd march
11:27 am
last year as she was walking home from a friend's house. her body was found a week later. met police officer wayne couzens pleaded guilty to her murder and was sentenced to a whole—life term. in her three—page letter to the incoming met police chief, home secretary priti patel wrote about several high—profile incidents that have affected public confidence and trust in police. as well as sarah everard, priti patel referred to strip searches of children and the vetting of police officers. former counterterrorism policing chief mark rowley will replace dame cressida dick as met chief, following her resignation earlier this year. she quit as the country's most senior police officer after criticism over the handling of a number of scandals involving met police officers. the met�*s confidence rating
11:28 am
is the lowest it has ever been in 200 years. 49% on the last day that cressida dick was in charge of the metropolitan police. so, there is a huge challenge there. i think what we need now is really to get behind the metropolitan police and the new leader mark rowley and make sure we make some real changes to the organisation. i am afraid, if you look at the history, particularly over the last five years, it has been absolutely appalling. priti patel, who is likely to be replaced as home secretary once either liz truss or rishi sunak take over as prime minister, also told the incoming met police chief that the force was failing to get the basics right and that extensive reform was required. the new head of the met police mark rowley will take over on the 12th of this month. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. hello. a wet start day across many
