to have killed 174 people. it's thought to be the world's deadliest stadium disaster in more than half a century. presidentjoko widodo has suspended all football in the country while an investigation takes place. it happened in malang on the island ofjava, where fans of a local team ran onto pitch after they lost against their bitter rivals. police fired tear gas. as panic spread, thousands surged towards the exits, where many suffocated. a warning that you might find some of shelley phelps�*s report distressing. chaos erupted as fans stormed the pitch moments after the final whistle on the match, which saw arema lose at home to persebaya surabaya. players had to be ushered away by security. police say they started firing tear gas in response to the situation. | translation: it was the feeling of disappointment that prompted the supporters to go

down to the field to ask the players why they lost the game. that's when the security team moved in for prevention efforts, so they won't get onto the field or interact with the players. during that process, in the prevention effort, tear gas was fired because it had gotten anarchic. they started attacking officers. they damaged cars. the tear gas caused the crowd to surge towards the exit where many people were crushed. the tragedy is already one of the world's deadliest sporting disasters, and the number of fatalities is rising. scores of injured people are being treated in nearby hospitals. in a statement, indonesia's football association expressed its deepest condolences for what happened to football lovers in the country. indonesia's president has ordered the authorities to thoroughly reevaluate security of football matches.

translation: i regret this tragedy and i hope this - is the last tragedy to occur in indonesian football. we cannot have any more in the future. sportsmanship, humanity and brotherhood in the nation should be upheld together. the premier football league has been ordered to suspend all matches until what happened has been investigated. shelly phelps, bbc news. our south east asia correspondent, jonathan head, joins us now. do we know any more about how this could have happened? i do we know any more about how this could have happened?— could have happened? i think we do. there has been _ could have happened? i think we do. there has been a _ could have happened? i think we do. there has been a lot _ could have happened? i think we do. there has been a lot of _ could have happened? i think we do. there has been a lot of video - could have happened? i think we do. there has been a lot of video posted | there has been a lot of video posted by fans, showing some detail the sequence of events after the match had finished, and the home crowd started pouring onto the pitch. a very small amount went on to the pitch at first. there seem to have been clashes with police. it was the

use of tear gas which led to panic in the crowd and led to the rash of exits. no other cause and effect sequence other than that. a lot of tear gas drifted into the stands. it is very unpleasant and people were trying to get away from it. that is where the authorities will have to focus their investigation, i think. it is not the first time the indian police's methods of crowd control had been questioned. they are poorly trained. the investigation will have to focus on that. people have been talking about the stadium being overcrowded. authorities admit that. there is a long problem of football violence among fans and these two teams have been involved in the history of violence. the policing will be the key factor, i think.

liz truss says she stands by her policy of cutting taxes, arguing that her government had to act. but the prime minister said she would learn from the week of turmoil which followed the mini—budget, during which the pound fell to a record low against the dollar. todayis today is the first day of the conservative party conference in birmingham. our political correspondent, helen catt, is in birmingham for us now. the prime minister talking about learning. in terms of what has already happened, what will lessons due to what has already happened to the polling and the impact on people's personal finances? the polling and the impact on people's personalfinances? liz people's personal finances? liz truss people's personal finances? l2 truss knows people's personal finances? lz truss knows what she has to do this week is a massive reassurance job. when the mini budget went ahead and put into place, quite a lot of what she had already trailed in terms of economic direction, the scale of it,

the reaction we saw in the markets, the reaction we saw in the markets, the concern that is among people about mortgage rates, for example, that has all caused huge jitters within the conservative party. there were some who were not convinced by her economic strategy in the first place and had backed rishi sunakfor example. she has to do quite a reassurance job. example. she has to do quite a reassurancejob. we example. she has to do quite a reassurance job. we start to see a little bit of an attempt to do that this morning with the admission that she and kwasi kwarteng could perhaps have handled it better. there is an issue that interest rates are going up around the world and we did have to face that and we too had to deal with it. but i do want to say to people, i understand their worries about what has happened this week, and i do, i do stand by the package we announced, and i stand by the fact that we announced it quickly because we had to act. but i do accept we should have laid the ground better. i do accept that. i have learned from that.

i have learned from that and i will make sure that in future in future we do a betterjob of laying the ground. in the next few days liz truss has the opportunity, she hopes, to try to explain her plans better. we will not get a lot of detail about how she plans to pay for it but another month. the end of november is when the government is suggesting it will do its financial planning setting out more detail about how it will be papal and they are planning to publish a full cast from the office for budget responsibility. i think there will be huge attention paid to every single word that is said, particularly from liz truss and the chancellor, kwasi kwarteng. this is a huge package of measures we saw in the mini budget. there was one piece of it in particular that while not the biggest part financially has

caused a huge political issue, and that was the decision to scrap the 45p top rate of tax for the highest earners. liz truss was announced had she discussed that with the cabinet before it was announced. yes. she discussed that with the cabinet before it was announced.— before it was announced. yes. it is art of before it was announced. yes. it is part of an — before it was announced. yes. it is part of an overall— before it was announced. yes. it is part of an overall package - before it was announced. yes. it is part of an overall package of - before it was announced. yes. it is i part of an overall package of making the tax _ part of an overall package of making the tax system simpler and lower. it is worth_ the tax system simpler and lower. it is worth noting in the package we announced, the vast majority of that package _ announced, the vast majority of that package is_ announced, the vast majority of that package is the energy package. the energy— package is the energy package. the energy package is national insurance. the 45p rate raises very little _ insurance. the 45p rate raises very little and _ insurance. the 45p rate raises very little and makes our tax system more complicated. we need to move away... we need _ complicated. we need to move away... we need to— complicated. we need to move away... we need to move away from the idea that everything is about how we redistribute resources. we also need to make _ redistribute resources. we also need to make sure we have a tax system that is _ to make sure we have a tax system that is competitive internationally and is _ that is competitive internationally and is helping us bring in the investment by getting people into

thank you. we will be coming onto the sound bite from michael gove in a moment and speaking to a senior adviser. let's hearfrom michael gove. he told laura he was profoundly concerned about elements. on the basis of what the prime minister said, she was clear and authoritative, it is still the case thatis authoritative, it is still the case that is inadequate realisation of the scale of change required that the scale of change required that the energy package was the most important thing. broadly 35% of the additional money we are borrowing is not to cut energy costs, it is for unfunded tax cuts.— unfunded tax cuts. you sound concerned _ unfunded tax cuts. you sound concerned about _ unfunded tax cuts. you sound concerned about that. - unfunded tax cuts. you sound - concerned about that. profoundly. two thin . s concerned about that. profoundly. two things are _ concerned about that. profoundly. two things are problematic- concerned about that. profoundly. two things are problematic by - concerned about that. profoundly. two things are problematic by two major things are problematic with the fiscal event. the first is the sheer risk of using borrowed money to fund tax cuts. that is not

conservative. the second thing is the decision to cut the 45p rate and indeed at the same time to change the law that governs how bankers are paid in the city of london. ultimately, at a time when people are suffering, and you are quite right to point out the concerns people have notjust over mortgages but a the benefits. when you have additional billions of pounds in play, to have as your principal decision the headline tax move, cutting tax for the wealthiest, that is a display of the wrong values. it is a display of the wrong values. it sounds right now if things carry on as they are, you won't be able to vote for these measures as a conservative mp.— vote for these measures as a conservative mp. ., ., , ., ., conservative mp. there are many good thins in conservative mp. there are many good things in what — conservative mp. there are many good things in what liz _ conservative mp. there are many good things in what liz said. _ conservative mp. there are many good things in what liz said. i _ conservative mp. there are many good things in what liz said. i welcome - things in what liz said. i welcome the broader about growth. liz has acknowledged that with hindsight that with welcome hindsight mistakes were made in the preparation on friday. were made in the preparation on frida . ., .., , were made in the preparation on frida. ., , ., ., , friday. you carefully avoided my auestion friday. you carefully avoided my question about _ friday. you carefully avoided my question about whether -

taken big steps on that. now with the rising cost of mortgages as well. , ., ~ ijy by the prime minister will have done anything to reassure the party? hat anything to reassure the party? not enou:h to anything to reassure the party? iifrt enough to reassure the party. there was some admission that the handling of this was wrong on the ground was not laid. when you make these big moves, you need to test them out with the public. you can do that and officially can apply a few kites and see how they are received and test them with mps as well. i do not believe it is a communications issue. easy to say you can comms your way out of this or communications could be better. if there is an issue with the substance of the policy, we heard from michael gove about whether it is right to get people in the highest earning brackets to give them a tax cut and not address elements of high inflation as well, it becomes more

weeks in to make a u—turn. you could delay the 45p cut or put it various badges you can do if you do not want to take forward an idea so quickly and that might help as well. ultimately, it will be a challenge for mps who are probably unlikely to vote on a particular aspect as things stand.— king charles will not attend the cop 27 climate change conference in egypt next month, buckingham palace has confirmed. it follows reports that the uk prime minister liz truss had advised him to stay away. in response, the palace confirmed advice had been sought by the monarch and given by liz truss. before ascending the throne — the king — who's campaigned for environmental causes for decades indicated that he would attend.

judith moritz, bbc news. president zelensky says the ukrainian flag is flying — once again — in the strategically important town of lyman in donetsk, a day after vladimir putin declared the eastern ukrainian region would be russian "forever." mr zelensky said fighting was still going on, although the kremlin insists all of its troops have pulled out. let's speak to hanna shelest, the head of security programmes at foreign policy council "ukrainian prism", joining me live from the ukrainian southern city of odesa. the ukrainian flag is flying, does that mean lyman is fully liberated? last night, the armed forces of ukraine claim to notjust entering the city but controlling the city. they understand some of the small

larger territory that also will assist with further counterattacks. this town is in the donetsk region. we started with a counter offence in kharkiv. everyone was thinking we were going just to the border. at the same time the attacks have been happening onward towards the east. russian leadership wanted to control in full the donetsk region by the 15th of september. they definitely have not. at the same time they even started losing additional territories in this region. it will have important strategic and psychological impacts. taste have important strategic and psychological impacts. we have had re orts that psychological impacts. we have had reports that up— psychological impacts. we have had reports that up to _ psychological impacts. we have had reports that up to 5000 _ psychological impacts. we have had reports that up to 5000 russians i reports that up to 5000 russians left, or by leaving lyman. what happens to them? irate left, or by leaving lyman. what happens to them?— left, or by leaving lyman. what happens to them? we have diverse information — happens to them? we have diverse information now. _ happens to them? we have diverse information now. dating _ happens to them? we have diverse information now. dating from - happens to them? we have diverse | information now. dating from 2000 happens to them? we have diverse . information now. dating from 2000 up to 5000 soldiers that had been in

are feared to have lost their lives, while many thousands of homes and businesses have been destroyed. before—and—after aerial pictures have revealed the scale of the devastation in coastal areas of south west florida. causeways linking many islands to the main land have been washed away, cutting off entire communities. azadeh moshiri reports. storm ian's strong winds and heavy rain have left parts of the carolinas underwater. this is charleston, its historic buildings flooded and myrtle beach, overwhelmed by what officials dreaded most, storm surges. but in florida, the areas that were hit the hardest are still trying to recover from the storm. i went back to see cindy, who lives in a manufactured housing community full of rvs and wooden homes. mother nature and god was helping me out that night. look at it, i've got the chills just thinking about it. i keep getting... my body keeps going through these tremors because i still feel like i am rocking and rolling in that, a roller—coaster

in my bathtub. yes, we sat here, my neighbourand i... i then met herbert, whose roof was blown off when he rode out the storm while he was sitting on his couch. trees going farther and farther down. this is what he filmed after the hurricane made landfall. that was a window over there? yes. there is a window here, and a stick came through and broke about this much. i came here about a day after the storm hit, and it still looks pretty much the same. there was a lot more water on the streets around here but obviously the clean—up crews have drained that water. but people here clearly still need help. they have been told that a government agency will come and will potentially offer them help, but they have also been told that it could tell them that this entire area is uninhabitable. search and rescue missions continued, with flooding still threatening lives. the governor has said thousands have been completed. but though the number of lives saved

is growing, so is the number of lives lost, as the state continues counting the dead. more on that story and others. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. it was certainly a soggy start to sunday across some southern parts of england and wales, but that rain continues to clear its way southwards and eastwards, and we'lljoin the rest of the country with a fine afternoon with sunny spells. it was this weather system which was a little bit further south than we were expecting 24 hours ago. because of that, it clears away a little bit quicker, too, which means a brighter, drier afternoon for most. clearing away from the southeast corner by the time we get to lunchtime, maybe a few showers continuing across the channel islands through the afternoon, but away from that isolated showers mainly to the north and west of scotland. but overall, fewer showers than yesterday and temperatures up a little bit. and that's because we'll have lighter winds than yesterday, especially for england and wales.

still a keen breeze across parts of the north and west of scotland, that will keep temperatures up here through the night, as it will do in northern ireland as the breeze picks up. but away from that, across england and wales, particularly southeast scotland, a few mist and fog patches forming with clear skies. a bit more cloud pushing in from the west later, but that won't stop the temperatures from dropping too much. this is how we look in the towns and cities to start your monday morning commute. the mildest weather, cloudiest, breeziest weather is towards the west of scotland and northern ireland, but in some rural parts of england and wales we could see temperatures around two or three degrees. that's low enough for a touch of frost on the grass and the cars. so it's that ridge of high pressure which keeps things dry to begin with with light winds. but as these weather fronts push into the north and west through the day with strengthening wind, we will see some cloud run ahead of it. so not quite as sunny as it will be for some of you this afternoon, but there'll still be some spells of hazy sunshine around. isolated chance of a shower in cumbria, maybe across devon, cornwall and dorset. but rain will come and go north and west of scotland, turning heavier through the afternoon. same, too, across parts of northern ireland where it'll become

more extensive later in the day. it's a southerly wind, so temperatures will be on the milder side for this stage in october and a mild night to come then through the night and into tuesday. weatherfronts pushing their way southwards. a wet start across parts of scotland, northern ireland, but basically two batches of rain working their way into england and wales through the day and gradually fizzling. brightening up through scotland, northern ireland on tuesday, after that wet start. east anglia, the south east could stay dry throughout with temperatures around 20 or 21 degrees, but that area extends back into another system, which will bring more widespread wind and rain on wednesday. and the end of the week looks fairly blustery and it's back to a mix of sunshine and showers. see you soon.
