hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. "a tragedy beyond comprehension" — that's how the boss of world football has described a crush at a match in indonesia that's killed at least 174 people. it's thought to be the deadliest stadium disaster in more than half a century. fifa president gianni infantino said his thoughts were with the families of the victims. 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 at 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 has more on how the tragedy unfolded. there's 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. it was quite a very small number who went on to the pitch at first.

there seem to have been clashes with police, more poured on. but it was the use of tear gas which led to panic in the crowd and led to the crushes at the exits. it's difficult to see any 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. it's not the first time indonesia's police's methods of crowd control had been questioned. they are poorly trained, they have a poor reputation, i suspect the investigation will have to focus on that. people have been talking about the stadium being overcrowded, and that seems to be the case, authorities admit that. and we know there's a long problem of football violence among fans, and these two teams have been involved in the history of violence, but as factors behind the disaster and the loss of life, policing will be the key one.

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. today is the first day of the conservatives' party conference in birmingham. our political correspondent helen catt is in birmingham for us now. is, so this is liz truss's first party conference as prime minister, she has only been prime ministerfor slightly less than a month, an unusual time she would expected to be a moment to bring the party together, to put forward an optimistic vision a new prime minister's agenda. but what we are seeing is division among conservative mps over the party's economic approach. we saw this during the leadership contest that was held over the summer, that there were a number of mps, some who

really likes liz truss's economic agenda, but others with deep concerns. and the reaction of the markets, what has happened in the mortgage markets since that plan was announced formally by the chancellor, has done nothing to quieten fears, possibly even more so to heighten them. so liz truss knows that she has got a reassurance job to do this week for her party, and that has started this morning, when she told laura kuenssberg that she admitted that, yes, perhaps they could have handled things better. there is an issue that interest rates are going up around the world, and we do have to face that and we do have to deal with it. but i do want to say to people that 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, and i have learned from that, i have learned from that,

and i will make sure that in future we do a betterjob of laying the ground. now, this week is perhaps an opportunity for liz truss to do that, but every word as she says is going to be properly scrutinised here, the same as everyone said by here, the same as everyone said by her chancellor, kwasi kwarteng, not here by party members but also by people in the country, by the financial markets too, so a lot at stake in what he said this week. and the big political issue here is part of that mini budget, which wasn't a massive party financially, scrapping the 45p tax rate for the highest earners in the uk, it is a huge deal politically. now, earlier, liz truss defended that policy. it is part of an overall package of making our tax system simpler and lower. but i think it's worth noting,

in the package we announced, the vast majority of that package is the energy package... and we've talked a lot about that... it's the energy package, it's national insurance. the 45p rate actually raises very little and makes our tax system more complicated. and 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 sure we have got a tax system that is competitive internationally and it's helping us bring in the investment, get people into work, get people wanting to get up the career ladder, because... can i ask you, prime minister, did you discuss scrapping the top rate with your whole cabinet? no. so liz truss suggesting she will stick to her guns, but there is a degree of concern among a number of conservative mps about that. she clearly thinks that just

conservative mps about that. she clearly thinks thatjust by communicating it better, that this will be perhaps more acceptable to mps, but there are those who have real concerns about it as a policy. have a listen to michael gove, a senior backbencher. there are two things that are problematic — two major things that were problematic with the fiscal event. the first is the sheer risk of using borrowed money to fund tax cuts. that is not conservative. then the second thing is the decision to cut the 45p rate and indeed at the same time to change the law which 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 over 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 sounds right now, if things carry on as they are, you won't be able to vote for these

measures as a conservative mp. well, the good thing... there are many good things in what liz said. i do welcome the broader points she made about growth. but will you vote for it as it stands? the critical thing is liz has acknowledged that, with hindsight, with welcome hindsight, that mistakes were made in the preparation for friday. i notice you're carefully avoiding my question about whether or not you'll vote for this in house of commons. well, i don't believe it's right. now, sir keir starmer has suggested he would work with conservative mps to try to vote down that 45p tax rate abolition, the conservative chairman jake berry rate abolition, the conservative chairmanjake berry has warned this morning that any conservative mps who did that would lose the web, and it is worth pointing out that there isn't any love lost between michael gove and liz truss, but he is a seniorfigure in the party, and the key thing will be, with him speaking out in quite an extraordinary way this morning and being that blunt about it, does that embolden other

conservative mps to start publicly criticising, in the way that they have been behind the scenes, and can liz truss, kwasi kwarteng and her senior team managed to win them around over the next few days? king charles will not attend the cop27 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. a man is due to appear in court tomorrow, charged with the murder of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel, who was shot at her home in liverpool in august. 34—year—old thomas cashman from west derby has also been charged with the attempted murder of olivia's mother cheryl and joseph nee, who he's alleged to have chased into olivia's home. judith moritz reports. it's six weeks since

olivia pratt—korbel was killed — six weeks of her family grieving... i feel i'm on it as well! ..and the police hunting for the gunman responsible. at last, a breakthrough — announced at a hastily arranged media conference. the crown prosecution service has authorised merseyside police to charge thomas cashman, 3a, from grenadier drive, west derby, with the murder of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel, also the attempted murder ofjoseph nee and cheryl korbel on the 22nd of august 2022. olivia was shot when a gunman burst into her home in the liverpool suburb of dovecot in august. he'd been chasing another man when they both ran through the front door, which olivia's mum cheryl had opened, wanting to see why there was so much noise outside. olivia's death has shattered the community where she lived.

another man, ao—year—old paul russell, has also been charged in connection with the shooting, accused of assisting an offender. both men will appear at liverpool magistrates court on monday. 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 dr martin smith, the senior lecturer of department of defence and international affairs at the royal military academy sandhurst. thank you so much forjoining us. first of all, we have a putin's speech on the annexation on friday, ukrainian flag flying in lyman today, what does this mean about the

russian position? it is today, what does this mean about the russian position?— russian position? it is too early to say definitively _ russian position? it is too early to say definitively that _ russian position? it is too early to say definitively that russia - russian position? it is too early to say definitively that russia is - say definitively that russia is losing in ukraine, but what we are seeing increasingly clearly is russia moving to defensive positions and a defensive posture, so i don't think what is likely in future are significant russian ground offensives outside and beyond the four region is that mr putin annexed on friday. russia is now increasingly clearly staking out its bottom line, and its bottom line is not 100% clear at this stage, because of course, as you mentioned, mr putin mentioned on friday that the four provinces, including donetsk, would be for ever russian, and within a day ukrainian forces take back a key strategic and logistical hub in donetsk, and thus far at least there has been no russian response. so i think we are still waiting to see what the

absolute russian bottom line is, but it is clear to me that russia is now very much in defensive mode in ukraine. figs very much in defensive mode in ukraine. �* , very much in defensive mode in ukraine. r very much in defensive mode in ukraine. a ., ., ukraine. as you say, we will have to see what the — ukraine. as you say, we will have to see what the bottom _ ukraine. as you say, we will have to see what the bottom line _ ukraine. as you say, we will have to see what the bottom line is, - ukraine. as you say, we will have to see what the bottom line is, but - see what the bottom line is, but what do you think the endgame was in annexing these regions? i what do you think the endgame was in annexing these regions?— annexing these regions? i think the absolute and _ annexing these regions? i think the absolute and non-negotiable - annexing these regions? i think the l absolute and non-negotiable bottom absolute and non—negotiable bottom line for russia is crimea. essentially, i think this is fundamentally all about crimea, so what russia wants and what russia will, ithink, be prepared what russia wants and what russia will, i think, be prepared to fight for to the last man, potentially, is this so—called land corridor running through parts of these four provinces and creating, from russia's point of view, a secure bridge between mainland russia and crimea. so i think we might see the

russians are prepared to give up parts of these four provinces in the donbas and zaporizhzhia and curse on, but i don't think they will be able to give up without a very protracted and bloody fight what they consider to be sufficient territory in those four provinces to give them this vital land bridge between russia proper, if you like, and the crimean peninsula. {sheen and the crimean peninsula. given what ou and the crimean peninsula. given what you have — and the crimean peninsula. given what you have side _ and the crimean peninsula. given what you have side and _ and the crimean peninsula. given what you have side and that - and the crimean peninsula. given what you have side and that many experts have said what putin needs is an off ramp, a way out, how likely do you think a diplomatic solution is now? i likely do you think a diplomatic solution is now?— solution is now? i think highly unlikel , solution is now? i think highly unlikely, and _ solution is now? i think highly unlikely, and i— solution is now? i think highly unlikely, and i think _ solution is now? i think highly unlikely, and i think that - solution is now? i think highly unlikely, and i think that was | solution is now? i think highly - unlikely, and i think that was very clear from the statements made by mr putin on friday, and also mr zelensky immediately following. mr zelensky immediately following. mr zelensky reaffirmed that the objective of the ukrainian government and ukrainian armed forces is to liberate every last inch of sovereign ukrainian

territory, so there is no obvious scope for compromise. if, on the one hand, russia's bottom line is to retain crimea in perpetuity and the land bridge through mainland eastern ukraine, to link it to russia, and on the other hand, two zelensky�*s bottom line, as he has repeatedly stated, to drive russian forces out of every last inch of ukrainian sovereign territory, then there is just no basis that i can see for any sort of compromise between those positions. idr sort of compromise between those ositions. , , ,, ., ~ positions. dr martyn smith, thank ou for positions. dr martyn smith, thank you for your _ positions. dr martyn smith, thank you for your thoughts _ positions. dr martyn smith, thank you for your thoughts on - positions. dr martyn smith, thank you for your thoughts on this. - positions. dr martyn smith, thank i you for your thoughts on this. thank ou, you for your thoughts on this. thank you. pleasure- _ the headlines on bbc news... one of the world's worst stadium disasters: at least 174 people have died in a stampede at an indonesian football match after police tear—gassed pitch invaders. britain's prime minister admits to the bbc that she should have laid the ground better for announcements that sparked chaos on the financial markets.

king charles will now not be at next month's climate change conference in egypt following reports that prime minister liz truss ordered him not to attend. president biden and the first lady will travel to florida on wednesday to see for themselves the damage caused by hurricane ian. on monday they will visit puerto rico before moving onto florida, where dozens of people 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. azadeh moshiri, bbc news. in the next couple of hours, brazilians will begin voting in the first round of the presidential election. after a polarising campaign, polls show the incumbent presidentjair bolsonaro is trailing far behind his rival, luiz inacio lula da silva. the bbc�*s laura trevelyan is in rio. there is great uncertainty in

brazil heading into the first round of the presidential election, and here's why. the incumbent, presidentjair bolsonaro, who is behind in the polls to his opponent, former president lula de silva is casting doubt on the integrity of brazil's voting system. brazil has electronic voting machines. the results come through nationally within two hours of the polls closing. but president bolsonaro and his party have suggested, without any evidence, that somehow government officials could alter the results. this is all leading to speculation that perhaps president bolsonaro will not accept the results, should it go against him. this then opens up a world of uncertainty. if he doesn't accept the result, what will that mean in brazil? memories are still fresh of the fact that brazil was a military dictatorship until the late 1980s. it is a possible president bolsonaro could somehow call on the military to make sure he stays in power? military officials are so worried about the public perception they would do this that they have briefed brazilian newspapers that they have no intention of mounting a coup in support of bolsonaro.

is it possible he could summon his supporters onto the streets in a repeat of the former us president donald trump, who came up with this cry of "stop the steal" that led to the january the 6th assault on the us capitol? a lot of uncertainty here, but if one candidate did get more than 50% of the vote in the first round of the election on sunday, that would mean there wouldn't be a run—off on october 30th. so many, many questions here in brazil, and some anxiety and uncertainty heading into sunday's election. a new phone app could revolutionise how asthma is managed and treated in children. the technology, which is currently being trialled, allows hospitals to monitor patients remotely, and it's hoped it could reduce asthma attacks by half, as nikki fox reports. this is seven—year—old oscarfrom norfolk.

on a bad day, he's very out of breath, and some days, he can't run around. on a bad day when he needs admitting, he can barely walk or talk. at the moment, his asthma's being managed well, but winter is usually difficult. oscar can have up to four admissions in hospital a year. it's hugely bad over the winter months. he's then in for several days, which means he misses school and then he has to have several more days to recover from being on high steroids and nebulisers. the family says managing his condition through the gp is difficult, but now the hospital doctor sees everything. yep, go. so what's changed ? both oscar's inhaler and a piece of equipment he uses to test his lung function have had a bluetooth sensor added. the readings go straight into an app on his parents' phone and to doctors at the norfolk and norwich hospital. when the data comes from the app, this is what we see from our dashboard. what you see here is he hasn't been taking his regular prevent inhaler

for a couple of days now, so his lung function dropped significantly. so the system and the team alerted him to say, "you've not been taking medication regularly. " as a result, the lung function improved significantly. this is a powerful data which allows us to intervene when needed. so why is this important? one in 11 children has asthma. every 22 minutes, a child has an acute asthma attack. and every single admission to hospital costs more than £800. this platform has a huge potential to changing the whole landscape of how we manage children, how we educate them, how we, you know, prevent early risk and even prevent outpatient admissions, which there is a huge waiting list for — especially after the covid pandemic. how is oscar at the moment? yeah, he's been quite good recently, actually.

some families live an hour away from the hospital, so it's hoped it'll reduce travel time for them, keeping children well and in school. because the information will be going straight to them, they'll be able to pick up on things sooner, which will result in less hospital stays. he'll get his medication sooner, which means he's going to have more time at school, rather than missing it. and it means we've not got to run up to the hospital every other week! the james paget hospital in gorleston is also taking part in the pilot project. if it prevents oscar from becoming seriously ill, it should be rolled out to other families. that was nikki fox with that report. the london marathon is under way, with around 42,000 people expected to race through the streets of the capital. our reporter charlotte gallagher is there. the london marathon is under way, tens of thousands of people are

going to be running this gruelling course, finishing at the mall, just outside buckingham palace, probably one of the most iconic locations in london. and people are running for lots of different reasons, for different charities, there is a former iranian detainee who was running to raise awareness of hostages all around the world, people running with different health conditions, one man running with an oxygen tank attached to him because he has a lung condition. another man has just recovered from a brain tumour, and he is running today. lots and lots of people, and the crowd, as you can see, cheering everyone on. on the other side over there, there is someone with a sign saying my daddy runs marathons. lots of people cheering on family members taking on this challenge. this is the third time the marathon has been held in october, because of covid—19. fortunately, the weather has held off so far, we were thinking it was going to be a typical autumn day with pouring rain, but the weather is looking

good so far. and look out for a few familiarfaces, olympic good so far. and look out for a few familiar faces, olympic athletes like james cracknell, celebrities like james cracknell, celebrities like harryjudd and mark wright the tv presenter, and lots of people in costumes. there is a man dressed as a tree trying to break the guinness world record, a firemanjust ran past elia, and a minion, so plenty to say on the course. the weather has held out for the marathon, let's see what the rest of the forecast has in store with matt. hello. more of you will be dry with some sunshine through this afternoon. the rain we saw to start the day across south wales southern parts of england continues to clear away into the early afternoon, away from the south east corner. lingering a little bit longer through the channel islands, a few showers dotted around the north and west, particularly through parts of scotland, northern ireland, but actually fewer showers than yesterday. more of you will stay completely dry with those sunny spells and it should feel a touch warm, especially with lighters winds across england and wales, but with those lighter winds around it does mean it's

going to turn cool quite quickly through tonight, some mist and fog patches forming. breeze picks up across western scotland and northern ireland, with outbreaks of rain just starting to get closer by the morning. but much of the night will be dry, 11 degrees here. towns and cities in single figures, could get down to two or three degrees through some rural parts of england and wales, where we start with some sunshine, but overall a lot more cloud around on monday, maybe the odd shower in devon, cornwall, dorset, cumbria, much of england and wales dry, some rain spreading into scotland
