and 12 after long years of tory failure, didn't they just show their true colours, yesterday? cheering. their driving ideology — make the rich richer and do nothing for working people. and how one of the world's most streamed performers — bad bunny — has used his fame to draw attention to the issues facing his native puerto rico. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. reports from ukraine say armed soldiers have been going door to door in occupied parts of the country to collect votes for self—styled "referendums" onjoining russia. russian state media says

door—to—door voting is necessary for security reasons. these are the four areas where voting is being held. they include occupied parts of luhansk and donetsk in the east, and zaporizhzhia and kherson, in the south — and cover around 15% of ukraine's territory. the so—called referendums have been widely condemned. the us presidentjoe biden described them as a sham and a false pretext to try to illegally annex parts of ukraine. our ukraine correspondentjames waterhouse reports from kyiv. russia's version of their so—called referendums. a free and fair democratic process where ukrainians in kherson decide whether they want to join russia. but, on the same spot today, in the city centre, it's deserted. ukrainian officials have posted footage like this. loud knocking

apparently ballots being taken door—to—door, with the support of armed men. on this unverified cctv clip, a man is asked what apartment he's from. "i don't live here." "are you sure?" "yes," he says. he carries on down without looking over his shoulder. we've spoken to several people under russian occupation. outgoing dialling tone. hello. hi bleep. including natalia — not her real name. nice to hear you, too. a producer has voiced her words. what are your friends and family thinking about this? do they want to go and vote? translation: all of my friends are against the referendum, - because we are sure that the referendum will be rigged. we don't understand why we should answer the question that is written on the ballots. we don't want to be part of russia. driven by losses on the battlefield and growing criticisms back home,

the kremlin wants to legitimise its presence in ukraine, while threatening an escalation if ukraine keeps pushing back. this isn't about democracy. it's a move straight out of the russian playbook. the result will be what russia needs it to be. and ukraine is calling on the world to see right through it. james waterhouse, bbc news, in kyiv. one kherson resident has been telling the bbc about the situation there. he says it is tense and he's afraid to go outside. i saw some reports or saw information on various channels and the social media that the russian soldiers are working and knocking on the doors. they are already working in the kherson, but quite plenty reports coming from the villages, as well. and the reports are varying from village to village.

some of them they are not so rude, but in some villages, if people refuse to vote, they threatened that they have to leave their homes within 2a hours. otherwise they will face bitter consequences. nobody has knocked at my door and i will not explain how, but i mad everything possible so nobody will reach my door. so i plan to continue staying here. but my plans may change at any moment. at any moment... everything depends on the situation. everything is changing every day. the president of ukraine, volodymirzelensky, has accused the russian leader, vladimir putin, of knowingly "sending russian citizens to their death". it comes as russia continues to call up reservists to fight in ukraine. human rights groups say more than 700 people have been arrested at anti—war demonstrations across russia since the mobilisation was announced. this video footage has emerged

which appears to show a fight in the russian city of omsk between men drafted to the army and local police. the footage appears to show russian police trying to force the men onto buses, according to the reuters news agency journalist who shared the video. this footage has not been verified by the bbc. president putin has announced a call—up of around 300,000 russians who have done compulsory military service. russia's decision to mobilize hundreds of thousands of extra troops has led to big queues of people trying to leave the country. this is the border between georgia and russia where queues of russian vehicles are stretching up to 30 kilometres, with some waiting up to 20 hours to cross. let's talk now to sandro jufalakiani, who is a journalist at the us—funded radio free europe based in tbilisi. thanks very much for talking to ask talk us through what is going on at the border. we talk us through what is going on at the border. ~ ., �* talk us through what is going on at the border-— talk us through what is going on at the border. ~ ., ., ., , the border. we don't know how many russians crossed _ the border. we don't know how many russians crossed the _ the border. we don't know how many russians crossed the border - the border. we don't know how many russians crossed the border since - russians crossed the border since september 21 but what we see his

every day, hundreds of cars coming from russia to georgia. we see lots of people who are fleeing their country, fleeing the mobilisation. but we don't have official statistics from georgian government. what we know from russian side, 2300 cars were waiting in the line. so it could be up to 10,000 people. as i told you, georgian government provided no information and they said two days ago that nothing special is happening. but we see a different situation on the border when lots of russian citizens are trying to get to georgia. find when lots of russian citizens are trying to get to georgia. and tens of thousands _ trying to get to georgia. and tens of thousands of _ trying to get to georgia. and tens of thousands of russians - trying to get to georgia. and tens of thousands of russians have - trying to get to georgia. and tens i of thousands of russians have come overin of thousands of russians have come over in the months since the war started, haven't they? there have been pro—ukraine protest in sibley sea, haven't there? how do people

feel about the russians coming over? —— tbilisi. it is mixed but many have negative reaction because russia invaded georgia in 2008. and now they say once again putin wants to defend russian citizens, for example. who are here. most russian citizens we can say who are fleeing, who were fleeing february and in march, they were against the wall, they were against putin —— against they were against putin —— against the war. fist they were against putin -- against the war. �* ., , , ., , they were against putin -- against the war. �* ., ,, ., , ., the war. at the moment, russians who come over to — the war. at the moment, russians who come over to georgia _ the war. at the moment, russians who come over to georgia can _ the war. at the moment, russians who come over to georgia can go _ the war. at the moment, russians who come over to georgia can go without i come over to georgia can go without a visa and stay for a year. are there because for that to be

this cynicism here is obvious because these restrictions hit civilians. our north america correspondent nada tawfik says the russian foreign minister used his un speech to accuse the west of hysteria over its actions in ukraine. remember that the west has really been saying that the war in ukraine is an attack on the very foundations of the world order formed after world war two, to put a focus on diplomacy, to make it so that no country could invade its neighbour and take land by force. this issue of sovereignty, territorial integrity, that, again, the west says is so important to the current world order. well, here we heard from the foreign minister of russia saying that, yes, international security is deteriorating rapidly. it's a dramatic moment that the future of the world order is being decided today. but blaming the united states, he said that the united states saw themselves as a self—proclaimed masters of the world. and we saw in that clip there him talking about these dividing lines

that he claimed the west, especially on ukraine, was telling the world — "you're either with us or against us". so, we're hearing kind of very similar talking points from russia that we've heard really throughout this crisis, claiming that they launched what they call this special military operation, which in reality, as we know, is the invasion of its neighbour, ukraine. because they believed, on one hand, that nato's was encroaching upon its borders and threatening its security. he repeated that here today. and, again, repeating this idea that ukraine in the east, that russia was just trying to protect ethnic russians there. so, a really, ithink, predictable speech here from the russian foreign minister, given russia's long—expressed views about this. but certainly very interesting to see the newest comments here about the current referendum being held.

he accused the west of being hysterical about that, throwing a fit about these referendums and again saying it was russia defending ethnic russians in that region. reports from iran suggest that the authorities have regained control of large parts of a town in the west of the country from anti—government demonstrators. the protesters had briefly seized areas of the city of oshnaviyeh, which lies close to the border with iraq. footage appeared to show protesters in control of the town. police say about 700 and a0 people have been arrested nationwide, including 60 women, after protests were sparked by the death in custody of a woman who'd allegedly broken headscarf rules. i've been speaking to dr sanam vakil. she is deputy director of the middle east north africa programme at chatham house — and is their iran expert. she told me such protests come around every few years, as young iranians are tired

of living under economic hardship. these are very moving and empowering images of society, people, young people, pushing back against decades of repression really simply have had enough, being sparked by this tragic death of mahsa amini and seizing upon it to take to the streets and really fight for greater freedom, greater equality. iranians have also been experiencing economic hardship from mismanagement and international sanctions. so all of this has been piling up through the years and it's coming out on the streets of iran. so do you think then, it sounds like you do, that this sort of started as a protest against the suppression of of women, but it's grown into something more about general dissatisfaction? yes. iranians from all walks of life have many grievances. ultimately, they live in an authoritarian system, one that keeps them isolated

from the international community. the government is pursuing regional foreign policy that is aggressive. it has led to sanctions being imposed on iran. there is economic mismanagement. there's no socialjustice, very limited personal freedom. and all of this is really coming to a head with the iranians just simply having enough. and every few years, we do see protests in iran, significant protests, that rock the foundation of the system and show that there is a massive gap between state and society. but the government doesn't address these grievances and instead uses coercive measures in order to control society and push people back into their homes. here in the uk, the leader of the opposition labour party, sir keir starmer, has arrived in liverpool ahead of the start of the party's annual conference. he's condemned the package of tax cuts unveiled by the chancellor on friday —

calling them "tory casino economics", which — he says — are gambling with the finances of every family in the country. the government insists its package of measures, including scrapping the top rate of income tax, will help kickstart economic growth. here's our political correspondent, iain watson. labour has been out of power for more than a decade but they now believe their political fortunes could be turning around. just as their party conference gets under way, liz truss has made the political dividing lines with the opposition far more stark. applause arriving in liverpool, the labour leader believes this will work to his advantage. and after 12 long years of tory failure, didn't they just show their true colours yesterday? crowd: , and earlier, the party's deputy leader argued that yesterday's tax—cutting, not so mini budget, had now given labour an opportunity to set out a distinct vision on the economy.

the conservatives have failed to grow our economy over 12 years and now we're seeing that there is a last—ditch casino attempt at going for the risky strategy byjust helping those at the top. i don't believe that will give us the growth and investment we need for the future or will help those that are working hard today. over loudspeaker: # my city, my people, my heart. but not everything in the wider labour movement is harmonious. keir starmer has told his senior mps to stay away from picket lines but not far from his conference a strike has flared up at liverpool docks. the people on the picket line here are members of unite, the union that gives more money to the labour party than any other. that union's leader met keir starmer in recent days and what she wants to see is a more ambitious economic policy from him and perhaps, unsurprisingly, far more support for striking workers. i think that he wants to make it very clear that he's supporting workers

and the reality is actions will speak louder than words. for me, jam tomorrow does not pay the bills as far as workers are concerned. and therefore, today is the time that they are struggling, today is the time they're on the picket lines, today is the time that they want labour to put their arm around them. this is a crucial moment, a crucial conference for us on the left... and left—wing delegates are pushing for a motion to be debated that would support mps joining picket lines and which would call for pay rises to be at or above inflation. but keir starmer will be keen to show that his party has emerged from the political storms of thejeremy corbyn era, and that the clear blue water in british politics is now between government and opposition. iain watson, bbc news, liverpool. the headlines on bbc news... reports from ukraine say armed soldiers have been going door to door in occupied parts of the country to collect votes for self—styled "referendums" onjoining russia. queues of russian vehicles at the border with georgia are stretching up to 30 kilometres —

disbelief around the grounds when the stumps were dislodged at the non—strikers and. someone occasionally she stops in her delivery stride but hadn't, from what she had seen, warns charlie dean. the crucial thing, to run someone out that the non—strikers and is within the laws of the but the question is is it within the spirit of the game. for the match to conclude and such a thrilling match in this way, i could sense on the england side that it left a bit of a sour taste. england side that it left a bit of a sourtaste. portugal england side that it left a bit of a sour taste. portugal could be heading to the top of the nations league group, three goal lead against czech republic and it all came from manchester united players. bruno fernandes scored one and they could go above spain if the spaniards lose to switzerland. they are currently on the bbc sport website. new zealand have won the southern hemisphere's rugby championship thrashing australia by

this is bad bunny, one of the world's most popular musicians. on spotify alone, he has over aa billion streams. he's just released his latest music video for his song el apagon, but it's not your usual video clip. kacho lopez is the video's director. it was an idea, it was a bad bunny idea. they called and said how do we turn a music video into a documentary? not your usual ask but he and his team found a way. after three minutes of music, the video transitions into a 20—minute report about some of the island's most pressing issues, like blackouts, corruption and american influence. you know, it's kind of like a trojan horse in that it uses bad bunny's popularity and his platform to get people that were not looking for a documentary about these issues and having them just come to have

fun, come to get entertained by the music, and, all of a sudden, wait, what is he talking about? the documentary is fronted by bianca graulau. ajournalist in puerto rico who has gained followers on platforms like tiktok and instagram for her investigative reporting. as the documentary says, - "aqui vive gente", people live here. this is notjust your playground, this is notjust a tourism - destination, there are people who have been living - here for generations and they're i struggling to have a good life. i it's been five years since hurricane maria decimated infrastructure across puerto rico. since then, blackouts have become common and, to make things worse, since hurricane fiona passed through, thousands are still without power. so i think it's that balance that shows the real puerto rico a place that is beautiful, a place that is rich and amazing, but also a place that has problems. the video has over 6 million views and it's given an amazing platform to a documentary that wouldn't

usually get anywhere near as many. but will viewers keep watching when bad bunny isn't asking them to? puerto rico and the world will have wait to find out. ben derico, bbc news, san francisco. nasa has called off another scheduled launch of its historic uncrewed mission to the moon — which was due to take place on tuesday. that's because of tropical storm ian, which could become a hurricane as it approaches florida. it's the third delay in a month for the test flight, which has suffered a fuel leak and other technical glitches at the end of august. nasa had previously said that a further delay would force them to roll the spacecraft back from the launchpad. the first picture of the new ledger stone marking queen elizabeth's final resting place in windsor has been released by buckingham palace. it's engraved in memory of the queen, her parents and her late husband, the duke of edinburgh. it sits in the floor of the george vi memorial chapel

where she was buried on monday. you are watching bbc news. we'll take a look at tomorrow's front pages at 10:a5pm and 11:30 this evening in the papers — our guestsjoining lukwesa tonight are the journalist and author shyama perera and katy balls — deputy political editor of the spectator. join us then. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. hello, there. there's some colder, stronger winds on the way for the beginning of next week. today has been a case of sunshine and a scattering of showers. the bulk of the showers have been affecting england and wales. but this evening and overnight, we'll see those showers decaying. skies will clear across many parts of the country. we'lljust keep a few showers going for a while here along some of those eastern coastal areas with the wind off the sea. but with clear skies elsewhere, we're going to find those temperatures dropping away

quickly, colder than last night, easily down to four orfive in many places. but it won't be as cold in the north west of scotland. here, we're closer to this deep area of low pressure. so the winds will be picking up here and that low pressure will have an impact on sunday and particularly into monday. sunday, though, starts dry and sunny and chilly across england and wales. we'll see cloud building up, but it should stay dry. the odd shower coming into scotland and northern ireland ahead of that rain in northern scotland in the afternoon. gets windy in northern ireland and particularly scotland with some gales in the northwest of the country. and temperatures tomorrow afternoon similar to today — around 15 to 17 degrees. but the winds will be stronger. and we'll see these weather fronts bringing a short, sharp burst of rain quickly down across the uk during tomorrow evening and tomorrow night. that will clear away. and then following on from that, we've got a stronger wind and northerly wind and that's going to be bringing colder air all the way down from iceland. so, a chilly feel to the day on monday. the overnight rain soon clears the south coast and through the english channel. and then it's a case of sunshine and showers.

the bulk of the showers — northern and eastern scotland driving down these north sea coasts, as well. and it will be a windy day in northern scotland. the winds could be touching gale force at times and we might even see some snow over the very tops of the scottish mountains. temperatures in northern scotland remaining in single figures. in the afternoon. top temperatures in southern england and south wales, 15 or 16 degrees, but colder in the wind. and it's still windy as we head into tuesday. that low pressure by then is heading its way towards scandinavia. another weather front moving in from off the atlantic. but a slight change in the wind direction means most of the showers will get pushed away from these north sea coasts, but they will continue in northern scotland and then we'll see cloud thickening in the west to bring some patchy rain into northern ireland, wales and the southwest, with sunshine in between. still quite windy and temperatures around 11 to 13 degrees.
