spokesperson acknowledged that there had been cases where as he put it the criteria were not complied with. we should warn you — this report from our russia editor steve rosenberg contains some distressing images. at a military draft office near moscow, the roll call begins. more russians mobilised and on their way to fight in ukraine. but at this recruitment centre, the russians we spoke to said they supported the draft. "i'm in the mood to fight," says dmitry, an hr manager. "since we've been drafted, we have to serve." this mother says, "the lads will run about a bit there, they'll lose a bit of weight, it'll be fine."

the gunman reportedly incensed that his friend had been called up to fight. across russia there's been a spate of attacks on enlistment offices. more than a dozen have been set on fire since vladimir putin announced the call up. and this is the russian republic of dagestan. protests against mobilisation. a sign of the anger in russia's poorer regions, populated by ethnic minority groups, where many feel they are being called up at a disproportionate rate. meanwhile, vladimir putin was shown meeting the leader of belarus, alexander lukashenko, and demanding that the west respect russia. not a word about the protests. when the kremlin says, "your country needs you," some russians are happy to answer, president putin's call, but clearly many are not and in some

parts of the country, mobilisation is sparking social unrest and undermining trust in the authorities. look at the queues leaving russia. this is the land border with georgia. many russian men of military age are trying to get out. but for their sons and husbands, a very different journey starts here. destination ukraine and the kremlin�*s war. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. meanwhile, also in russia a gunman has opened fire at a school, leaving at least 13 people dead including students. the shooting took place at �*school number 88�* in the city of izhevsk, in central russia. officials say seven children and six adults were killed,

including two security guards and two teachers. the gunman was a former pupil at the school. investigators said he was wearing a t—shirt with a nazi swastika. let's take a look at some of the stories in the headlines in the uk — and the financial authorities have taken steps to try to reassure the international markets — after a steep fall in the value of the pound. at one point, it dropped to an historic low against the dollar — before both the uk government and the bank of england made statements. but there are still concerns that the new policy announced just last friday of tax cuts and more borrowing could continue to undermine the british currency. u nfortu nately unfortunately that means the government will have to issue and unlock more debt and that is something that which the market is finding difficult to swallow. a lot of that a recession and of course high inflation and that is something that investors just don't like. the uk's main opposition party, labour, has accused the government of spooking the markets with a reckless gamble on tax cuts. the shadow chancellor rachel reeves

said they would have to be paid for by increased borrowing. she said her party would bring back a top rate of 45% income tax for the highest earners. under the tories those with broader shoulders carry the lightest load. and not by accident but by choice. still to come a bit later in the programme — the latest on the damage caused by typhoon noru in the philippines — and the preparations being taken in vietnam, where the typhoon is heading next. but first. returning to the war in ukraine — and in newsday, we're going to focus on the eastern region, known as the donbas, which borders russia. president putin has said he wants to take full control of the area — ukrainian forces are trying to recapture territory which they have lost. our senior international correspondent orla guerin and camera journalist goktay koraltan have been to the front line at

the city of bakhmut. i should warn you her report contains some distressing images. shelling. inside a city under relentless attack. this is bakhmut. pounded by russian air strikes, and shelling. ukrainian forces still hold the city but the russians are at the eastern edge. it's hard for us, says ludmila, one of the few venturing out. have you thought about leaving? i don't want to. this is my homeland, she says. i wish you well, she adds. others are desperate to go.

but facing a dangerous wait. irina flinches at this all—too—familiar sound. shelling. her 14—year—old daughter, yelizaveta, is the main reason she wants to get away from her birthplace. which is now a battleground. shells explode. as we wait with them, we lose count of the shells. what a memory for a teenager to take away from home. it's easy to see and to hear what people need to get away from. in the last few minutes, we've been hearing incoming and outgoing shells, every 30 seconds or so. it really doesn't stop. this city is in the centre of a fierce fight now between russian forces

and ukrainian forces. everything is ok, irina says. trying to reassure yelizaveta. it's very hard to go, she tells me. it's only because of the war. the main thing is to save my daughter's life and to take our cats and kittens so that we all survive. rushing in to get them out, sergei ivanof, a volunteer with a van, and a tattoo that says, "seize the day." he's been doing just that for months. evacuating front line areas. i feel happy when i see the smiles on faces and hear the thanks. it's like my main mission,

like my life, for these people. and you are risking your life every day? i think its usual for me and usualfor any ukrainian people, any ukrainians. loading up the essentials, yelizaveta has the pet carrier

let's turn to japan now, where in just a few hours a state funeral will be held for former prime minister shinzo abe. political leaders from across the world will gather to remember mr abe who was shot dead during an election rally injuly. the us vice—president kamala harris and india's prime minister narendra modi are expected to be at the service. live now to tokyo and mariko oi.

way back its fair to sayjust over the last few weeks we have seen opposition to the state funeral growing and pulse adjusting, more than half of the countries population are now against it. yes absolutely it _ population are now against it. yes absolutely it is _ population are now against it. yes absolutely it is fair to say that the mood has changed since the assassination in earlyjuly. as you said the state funeral for the former prime minister in the also the longest serving prime minister will take place this afternoon starting at 2pm local time. that is the building with a life green roof this is as close as we can get due to tight security. four and a half thousand guests are expected to attend including some 700 overseas gas as well as firm and ambassadors to japan including kamala harris arriving yesterday meeting with the

current prime minister ofjapan will stop it is being dumped funeral diplomacy over these few days. 0ther diplomacy over these few days. other officials are expected to attend and officials are expected to attend and officials from you 0k as well. here in japan officials from you 0k as well. here injapan there has been growing opposition from protesters citing the legitimacy of holding this event using taxpayer money. especially because the government has said $11 million was spent on it. i was watching local media yesterday protesters questioning why such an enormous amount of money was spent when of course the cost of living has been making headlines it also people have been hit by typhoons and facing blackouts. the people are saying money should probably be spent better elsewhere. also the fact that he is only the second prime minister, the last one was 55 years ago with former prime minister. usually this event is for

the royal family members and minister. usually this event is for the royalfamily members and is growing opposition grows opposition as well. lots of controversy there but as people have been reflecting on the death and his legacy what strikes you as some of the key things people have been talking about? i things people have been talking about? ~' .. ., things people have been talking about? ~ ., ., about? i think the fact that the air is such growing — about? i think the fact that the air is such growing opposition - about? i think the fact that the air is such growing opposition really i is such growing opposition really reflects what kind of prime minister he was. of course he had really strong supporters as well he was very strong on foreign policy, built very strong on foreign policy, built very strong on foreign policy, built very strong relationship with the united states and other allies of japan. but also he was loathed by his critics. saying that he increased the power of japan's self defence force making japan basically able to fight a war. so the fact that even after his death there is this strong opposition in a country

to the protests across iran following the death in custody of a young woman, who was detained for incorrectly wearing a hijab. according to the iranian authorities, 41 people, including members of the security forces, have been killed in clashes. but a norwegian—based human rights group says the number of dead is at least 76. more than a thousand people have been detained in the protests against the death of mahsa amina. with the latest — here's baran abassi from bbc persian. another family is mourning the death of their loved one. one of many who got killed in the recent protests videos verified by the bbc show anti—riot police shooting life bullets at the protesters in several cities in iran. and plainclothes security forces locking up the people in the boot of their cars.

but despite the brutal response from the security forces, protesters remain in the streets in all 31 provinces. here in tehran, people are chanting we will not go home until they conclude what they call the revolution. death to the religious supreme leader and islamic republic are still some of the main slogans. after many days of protests, the police failed to take here in this small city in a religious preference, security forces are running away from the protesters. in this rare clip, the head of thejudiciary admits that the security

the philippines is coming to terms with the devastation brought by super typhoon noru. gusts in excess of 200 kilometres per hour — that's around 125 miles per hour — and huge amounts of rain have left dozens of neighbourhoods underwater. 0ur correspondent laura bicker reports from one of the worst affected regions, in luzon. in parts here and you cannot walk your house. in parts here and you cannot walk your house-— in parts here and you cannot walk our house. ., ., ., in parts here and you cannot walk our hou: b ., ., ., in parts here and you cannot walk your hou: by _ water nowhere else go, are marooned on their rooftops, victims of typhoon that struck with of a super typhoon that struck with little warning. more than expected five workers. of six things

from the rooftops in this neighbourhood are calling for climate change. of the for this typhoon continues many in the philippines will themselves how long it be until the next one. typhoon noru is now heading towards vietnam, where its expected to reach land later on tuesday. schools have been closed and boat owners ordered to stay ashore in central provinces, with the government standing by to evacuate up to a million people, if needed. there are also warnings in place for heavy rain, which could cause flooding and land slides. severe weather also in the caribbean and that's forced nasa to move its huge artemis moon rocket system off the launch pad in florida. hurricane ian is expected to make landfall in the state on thursday — and nasa says it cannot risk its multi—billion dollar rocket being damaged. the weather system is currently moving past the cayman islands —

with winds gusting at around 75 miles per hour, that's 120 kilometres per hour. it is expected to strengthen further before moving across cuba, and then heading north towards the us. it sounds like a hollywood film, but in the coming hours, the american space agency, nasa, is going to crash a rocket into an asteroid. the plan is to try to alter its course. it's a test to see if something similar could be done if an asteroid was heading towards earth in the future. our science editor rebecca morelle has the details. it's a cataclysmic scenario. an asteroid headed for our planet, with the potential for mass devastation. it's happened before. a space rock wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. but now nasa is testing a way to stop any future threats. in just a few hours,

a spacecraft called dart will crash into an asteroid. this space rock poses no threat, but it's a test to show how we could deal with one on a collision course with the earth. and the aim is to change its path. we're not looking at trying to destroy an asteroid, which is tremendously difficult. we arejust looking to nudge it enough, early enough, that it misses, and that's how we protect, defend the planet against this natural hazard. the spacecraft launched at the end of last year and has travelled nearly seven million miles. now it's almost at its destination. the target is a twin asteroid system. a larger space rock called didymos is orbited by a smaller space rock called dimorphos. it's about 150 metres. that's about 500 feet across. the spacecraft travelling at 14,000 miles an hour crashes into dimorphos, giving the asteroid a kick. this changes its speed byjust a fraction,

about a millimetre per second. but this is enough to alter its orbit. and scientists can monitor this from earth to see if it has worked. thanks to the spacecraft�*s on—board cameras, we will get to watch the crash as it happens. this is part of the reason that we need to move beyond doing tests in the lab for asteroid deflection, or running models on our computers. but doing this on an actual asteroid of the relevant size, to see how these small little worlds mainly react to a deflection technique like this. the dart mission will be the first step in finding a solution, helping us to protect our planet should a real threat come our way. rebecca morelle, bbc news. the dart spacecraft is due to hit the moonlet dimorphos at 23:14 gmt — that's around 45 minutes from now. and this is the scene live at nasa, where space scientists will be monitoring the event.

the small box is the live image what will happen later on. hello. the start of the new week almost felt like the start of a new season, especially when the dark clouds rolled in, the rain started to fall and the wind picked up and another showery day to come, much like we had on monday, on tuesday. now the showers will be focused in certain areas. the weather chart is a fairly similar one. still got north westerly winds, but they're actually going a little bit more westerly and allow this little sliding weather system just down towards the south west. but i'll show you where the showers will be mainly focused, particularly in the morning in northern parts of scotland, frequent here with hail and thunder. we'll see another zone of frequent showers to the north and east and northern ireland, isle of man, into north west england, northeast wales and also the north west midlands. and then there's that weather system i mentioned down towards the south west,

which will slide its way in bringing devon, parts of cornwall and the channel islands more in the way of grey skies and further persistent rain as we go through into the afternoon. now, either side of those certain rain areas, fewer showers around, more in the way of dry weather. although, we'll see a few showers crop up later, particularly south east scotland and northeast england. but in the sunshine, like on monday, it will feel pleasant enough. out of it in the breeze, 11 to 16 degrees, distinctly cool. now the wind goes a little bit more northerly again as we go through the night and into wednesday, clearing away the rain from the southwest. there should showers, the north and east of the country, more likely, in fact, as we go through. and so temperatures here maybe not as low as they were to take us into tuesday, a little bit lower compared to tuesday morning and wednesday morning out towards the west. so we've got that more of a northerly airflow and an air of low pressure pushing in off the north sea on wednesday. that's going to change the focus for where the wetter weather is more likely to be on wednesday. this time, more like down through east of scotland, more particularly later into northeast england, parts of yorkshire, lincolnshire and maybe east anglia.

it does mean further west, fewer showers compared with tuesday, not more in the way of drier and sunnier weather. and so maybe feeling a little less chilly in these areas, especially as the wind starts to ease. as you go through into thursday, the outbreaks we see in eastern england on wednesday will have pushed their way southwards overnight, gradually clearing away, a few showers dotted around, but overall, the quietest day of the week, winds should be lighter, more sunshine, fewer in the way of showers and temperatures on the up. now, as you go through then into friday, well, we start on a cool not, a ridge of high pressure, but a more prolonged spell of rain set to sweep across the country with strong to gale force winds. a big change, but still an autumn feel to end the week.

this is bbc news. the headlines... the kremlin has admitted mistakes in the way it has tried to mobilise hundreds of thousands of russian reservists to fight in ukraine. president putin's spokesperson said there were cases where the criteria were not complied with. a state funeral is set to get underway for former japanese prime minister shinzo abe as leaders from around the world gather to pay their respects. the british pound slumped to an all time low against the us dollar after last week's tax cut announcements. the bank of england says it will not hesitate to hike interest rates to curb inflation.
