i am outside where the event will be taking place this afternoon but there has been growing opposition from protesters, citing the legitimacy and the cost. and work begins to remove the tens of thousands of floral tributes left to honour the queen, in central london. in the last few hours nasa has successfully managed to test the world's first planetary defence system by deliberately crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid. the dart mission is the first ever attempt to change the course of a large object — roughly the size of a football stadium. a live camera relayed the spacecraft�*s final few seconds to nasa scientists before it crashed into the rock.

there, oh, my goodness. oh, wow. four, three, two, one... oh, my gosh! whoo! oh, wow! visual confirmation. cheering they had a news conference after that and the dart team spoke of their relief that the mission had been achieved. it is wonderful to do something this amazing and we is wonderful to do something this amazing and we are is wonderful to do something this amazing and we are so excited to be done. we have worked on this mission for at least seven years, now, and it has been the work of over 1000 people that have put their heart and soul into it, so to see it so beautifully concluded today was just an incredible feeling, and also very tiring!

dr franck marchis, senior astronomer at the seti institute and chief scientific officer at unistellar joins me now. thank you for your time, huge excitement from the team there, can you give us some sense of why this is such a big deal? at why this is such a big deal? at the why this is such a big deal? git the first time we are sending a probe to an asteroid and we're not even sure that this mission would succeed in impacting the asteroid, and then the unexpected did happen. teii asteroid, and then the unexpected did happen. tell us more about _ unexpected did happen. tell us more about what _ unexpected did happen. tell us more about what happened. i unexpected did happen. tell us| more about what happened. the whole point was to divert it office trajectory. irate whole point was to divert it office trajectory.— whole point was to divert it office trajectory. we saw some brightening — office trajectory. we saw some brightening from _ office trajectory. we saw some brightening from the _ office trajectory. we saw some brightening from the ground, i brightening from the ground, from the indian ocean, to see the impact, we saw the brightening of the asteroid just at impact then clouds of

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." not everyone is so positive. in siberia, a recruitment officer was shot and seriously wounded. 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 lu kashenko, 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. 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 get some of the day's other news. britain's central bank, the bank of england, has indicated it could raise interest rates to control inflation, after the pound sterling slumped to an all—time low against the us dollar. the world's foreign exchange markets have seen a turbulent day of trading. the controversial nordstream 2 gas pipeline from russia has begun leaking into the baltic sea, potentially releasing large amounts of methane. the opening of the pipeline

was cancelled after russia invaded ukraine. however, gas had already been pumped into the pipe, and is now escaping at a spot just south of sweden. a referendum in cuba has approved planned social reforms, including the legalisation of same—sex marriage. about two—thirds of voters supported the new family code. russia has granted citizenship to the former us national security agency contractor, edward snowden. president vladimir putin signed the decree, nine years after he fled to moscow. mr snowden faces charges in the us for leaking vast amounts of top— secret intelligence material. officials in haiti are calling the current situation there a "humanitarian catastrophe" after two weeks of violence and looting. protests that began two weeks ago when prime minister ariel henry announced a fuel price hike,

have descended into widespread unrest, with the country's gangs said to be exacerbating the violence. the country's warehouses of humanitarian aid from abroad are among sites targeted by thieves, with an estimated $5 million of goods now missing. harold issac is an independentjournalist in port—au—prince. harold, thank you forjoining us. i know it is difficult to get on the internet and difficult to get power. how have you managed? indie difficult to get power. how have you managed? we have to -la it have you managed? we have to play it smart. — have you managed? we have to play it smart, actually, - have you managed? we have to play it smart, actually, i- play it smart, actually, i personally have not received any power from the utility in weeks, because of the protests that have slammed a good chunk of the great and i have to rely mainly on solar power for that and it only covers that much, so it is not easy to be communicating.

on their rooftops, victims of a super typhoon that struck with little warning. what do you want people to know? the floodwaters here rose more quickly than expected, sweeping away and killing five rescue workers. tens of thousands had to seek shelter and precious crops have been left in ruins. jacquelyn david made the decision to stay in her house with her four children. translation: the typhoon was really strong. _ it happened very fast. all of a sudden, we saw water everywhere. the winds were violent. i was very frightened. all i could do was pray.

these floods are the worst this region has seen — and yet there's a sense of resignation that these powerful storms are now just part of life. we are used to this, because it's been happening gradually. itjust didn't happen all of a sudden. we have been experiencing this for the last ten years, maybe once or twice a year. but this is the worst one. there is a feeling that this time, the philippines may have got lucky, that they were prepared enough, that they got enough people to safety. but the worry is that these kind of extreme weather events in this country keep happening and with increasing frequency. and the voices from the rooftops of this neighbourhood are calling for action on climate change. as the clean—up from this typhoon continues, many in the philippines will ask themselves, "how long will it be until the next one?" laura bicker, bbc

news, san miguel. typhoon noru is now heading towards vietnam, where it's 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 landslides. stay with us on bbc news, still to come... we find out what's going to happen to the tens of thousands of floral tributes in all russia's turmoil, it has never quite come to this. president yeltsin said today would decide the nation's destiny. the nightmare that so many people have feared for so long is playing out its final act, here.

russians are killing russians in front of a grandstand audience. it was his humility that produced affection from catholics throughout the world. but his departure is a tragedy for the catholic church. this man, israel's right—winger ariel sharon, visited the religious compound, and that started the trouble. he wants israel alone to have sovereignty over the holy sites, an idea unthinkable to palestinians. after 45 years of division, germany is one. in berlin, a million germans celebrated the rebirth of europe's biggest and richest nation. this is bbc news, the latest headlines...

nasa has successfully crashed a probe into an asteroid — to test how any incoming space rock could be deflected away from earth. the kremlin admits it made mistakes in the way it mobilised reservists to fight in ukraine — as protests against the call—up continue. let's turn to japan now, where in just a few hours a state funeral will be held forformer 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 0i... 0ra or a funeralfor a 0rafuneralfora man or a funeral for a man who was contentious during his political life and now finds that contention follows him in death. �*

today. many people are questioning the legitimacy of holding this as a state event, usually for the imperial family members here, and the last time that a prime minister had state funeral was 55 years ago. $11 million will be spent on it and people are questioning whether thatis people are questioning whether that is money well spent, with concerns about the cost of living, and also as someone who spoke to miss reid earlier said that money should probably be spent to help those people who have been affected by that typhoon, as well. there was one girl in her 20s said she supported the state funeral for shinzo abe you contributed greatly to the country, when he was prime minister but even after his death, opinions on him are very much split. we will be following those

developments as the funeral moves into play a bit later in the day. the cypher of king charles iii has just been revealed by buckingham palace. it was personally chosen by the king, from a range of designs produced by the college of arms. the monogram will appear on government buildings, state documents and on some post boxes in the coming months and years. there is a separate version of the cypher for scotland, which features the scottish crown. work has started to remove the tens of thousands of floral tributes left to honour queen elizabeth in green park and hyde park in london. they'll be taken to kensington palace gardens where they'll be used as compost. luxmy gopal reports. an outpouring of grief and love for the queen. a carpet of flowers in tributes. a week on from her majesty's funeral this fragrant shrine at green park will in turn give new flowers life after a fitting, final

horse—drawn journey. what all of our green waste in the royal parks tends to get composted, shredded and composted, then you reused in all of ourflower and shrub beds across all of the royal parks. we thought it would be a fitting tribute that all of these floral tributes would be used all across the royal parks. indeed in front of the flower beds in front of buckingham palace as well. the first step of sorting the flowers from the rest. this will take weeks. a team of around a hundred volunteers carefully separates non—floral tributes. i am just cleaning up all of the bits of paper that had been left with all of the cards. all of the toys as well. i think one of the sweetest things little pair of boots and a little paddington bear. those items are taken aside and dried and stored until it is decided how best to use them. for alessandra from battersea joining the volunteer effort helps to honour

the queen's memory. i think the outpouring for the queen during this time has been so, so beautiful. there is so much kind energy amongst the people here. just being here and being a part— just being here and being a part of— just being here and being a part of it— just being here and being a part of it isjust... i couldn't— part of it isjust... i couldn't not. the next step is carried out by two shire horses, heath and nobby. they appeared at the royal windsor horse show for the platinum jubilee earlier this year. they will be pulling a flat bed dray, a traditional open cart. the shire horses are often seen helping plough the land at the royal parks helping to manage the wildflower meadows. they are better for the environment than machinery as they have less of an impact on the earth but today they have a slightly different task. transporting the flowers on to the next stage of their journey. that is a lovely way for the flowers they go back into the earth, isn't it? we have a football game with a difference to show you, played in a plain

on a zero gravity parabolic flight when an aircraft dives towards earth with a speed equal to that which would be created by gravity so everyone in the plane becomes weightless until it levels out. the exhibition involved the former portuguese player, luis figo. it was a bit cramped, but the players were literally floating through the match. extraordinary stuff! the things people will do. have a look at the website for more on that extraordinary asteroid collision that nasa has managed to carry out in the last few hours. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @ bbc david eades always good to hear from you. you are watching bbc news. 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, north—east 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 north—east 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 be showers in 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 area 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 north—east 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 rain 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 note, 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.

nasa scientists have successfully managed to test one day be used to defend earth from an approaching space rock. the kremlin has admitted mistakes in the way it has
