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 may 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, i and i hope this is the last tragedy l 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 an awful lot of video posted by fans, showing in some detail the sequence of events after the match had finished and the home crowd started pouring onto the pitch. it was quite a 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 set off the 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 that indonesia's police force'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 beyond capacity, 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 that history of violence, but as factors behind he disaster and the loss of life, policing will be the key one.

that were on display during the leadership contest. liz truss was very clear about her economic direction, and many conservative mps agree with that, and there are many who do not, and a reacting of the markets to the mini budget and what has happened in the mortgage market has happened in the mortgage market has only really heightened that concern. so every single word that liz truss is this way, that kwasi kwarteng says this way, is going to be heavily scrutinised. she will now that she has got a big reinsurance job to do, and that seems to have started this morning with an admission that perhaps they could have handled it 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. so it sounds, though, like she is going to stick by her guns, including on one of the measures which, even though it is a very small part of the mini budget financially has caused probably the biggest political row, and that is the decision to scrap the 45p tax rate for the highest earners in the uk. now, liz truss, even though she was clear earlier that this was a policy from the chancellor, did defended. 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. liz truss seems to have been suggesting this morning that a lot of this was just an issue with communication, and if that improves, mps will come round to some of the things they do not like, and i should say there are things they do like, even those who are sceptical. but there are conservative mps who are more concerned about the policy itself. 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 can 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. labour leader keir starmer has said he would work with any conservative mps who wanted to vote down but conservative chairman warned that any hodeidah would lose the —— any who did would lose the whip. but what is extraordinary about the way michael gove spoke out this morning is that even though there isn't any love lost between michael gove and liz truss personally, does him speaking out in this way now embolden others to make public the criticisms that they have been expressing privately. luxmy.

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. 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.

a man is due to appear in court tomorrow charged with the murder of nine—year—old 0livia 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 0livia's mother cheryl and joseph nee, who he's alleged to have chased into 0livia's home. judith moritz reports. it's six weeks since 0livia 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, 34, from grenadier drive, west derby, with the murder of nine—year—old 0livia pratt—korbel,

also the attempted murder ofjoseph nee and cheryl korbel on the 22nd of august 2022. 0livia 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 0livia's mum cheryl had opened, wanting to see why there was so much noise outside. 0livia's death has shattered the community where she lived. another man, 40—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. brazilians have begun voting in the first round of the presidential election. after a polarising campaign, polls suggest the incumbent presidentjair bolsonaro is trailing far behind his rival, luiz inacio lula da silva. the question now is whether the leftist former leader can win enough votes to secure a victory without a run—off.

for more, i'm joined by christopher sabatini, senior fellow for latin america at chatham house. thank you so much forjoining us. now, we have got a polarising campaign with two presidential candidates who are poles apart. yeah, according to the latest polls, lula is i4% up, but it is unclear whether that will give him enough to win today. if he doesn't get over 50%, they will head to second—round elections on october 30. there are about 11 candidates at the moment, most of them running at one digit, so it is pretty much a race between bolsonaro and lula, and if it heads to a second round, which it is not clear it will have to, it would be lula's to lose at that point. hora lula's to lose at that point. how likel do lula's to lose at that point. how likely do you — lula's to lose at that point. how likely do you think— lula's to lose at that point. how likely do you think it _ lula's to lose at that point. how likely do you think it is - lula's to lose at that point. how likely do you think it is that lula will get through without a run—off?

i think it is fairly likely. there are some hidden votes among bolsonaro followers that polls are not picking up. this happened when he was first elected in 2018. it is difficult to reach... we saw this with trump, who was often compared to bolsonaro, bolsonaro compared to trump, for some reason, respondents are reluctant to announce a vote for are reluctant to announce a vote for a controversial candidate. but also, they are oftentimes the grid, they do not trust institutions enough to respond. so it might be a tighter race than we are seeing in the polls, but it is pretty much, as i say, if it gets to a second round, lula is almost certain to win. this has been a _ lula is almost certain to win. this has been a campaign driven by personalities, how do their policies differ? ~ . , , differ? well, the policies widely different, and _ differ? well, the policies widely different, and it _ differ? well, the policies widely different, and it is _ differ? well, the policies widely different, and it is a _ differ? well, the policies widely different, and it is a shame - differ? well, the policies widely different, and it is a shame that differ? well, the policies widely l different, and it is a shame that it has been driven so much by personality and polarisation. just to give you an idea, when they started off, bolsonaro accused lula of being the devil, and lula accused

bolsonaro of being possessed by the devil, so not a healthy environment to discuss policy issues. deforestation and the environment, deforestation in the amazon is at an all—time high, largely because of bolsonaro's policies or refusal to even enforce environmental policies. inflation is running at almost 10%, it is only expected to grow, the economy only expected to grow by 2% this year, and it had been bumping along at a little bit less than 2% before that, and it contracted considerably during the covid years. and then you have about 33 million people within brazil right now that are in extreme poverty and do not have enough food to get by. so there are real issues of society and social inclusion, largely oftentimes indigenous and the environment, bolsonaro is very much pro—free

market, whereas lula is in favour of social security programmes and more enforcement on the environment. tell about that was christopher sabatini from chatham house. why do i want to bring you some breaking news that is coming in the last couple of minutes. collect the death toll from the stampede at the football match in indonesia has been revised downwards. ads, football match in indonesia has been revised downwards.— revised downwards. a government official has said, _ revised downwards. a government official has said, the _ revised downwards. a government official has said, the east - revised downwards. a government official has said, the east java - official has said, the east java deputy governor has said that data has been cross checked from ten hospitals in the area, which showed there were 125 fatalities whereas earlier officials had put the figure as high as 174. president zelensky has confirmed the strategically important town of lyman in donetsk is completely cleared of moscow's troops. the ukrainian flag was raised there yesterday, just a day after vladimir putin had 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. earlier, i spoke on further military strategies to hanna shelest, the head of security programmes at foreign policy council ukrainian prism, whojoined me from the ukrainian city of 0desa. we started on why is lyman is so important strategically and how its capturing changes the positions of the ukrainian and russian forces. lyman is a small town, but when you look to the map and understand the logistics of that region, it is very important. it is a very important railway station that would allow logistics and supply for ukrainian armed forces on the east. that is the general line going over there. the second is because we managed not just to return this town but did it with encircling russian forces, so that means controlling immediately much larger territory that also will assist with further counterattacks. thirsly, this town is in the donetsk region, so we started with a counter—offensive frmo kharkiv.

everyone was thinking we were going just to the border with the russian federation, but at the same time the attacks have been happening onward towards the east, and considering the russian leadership wanted to control in full the donetsk region by the 15th of september, they definitely has not controlled it, even by now. but at the same time, they even started losing additional territories in this region, so it will have important strategic and psychological impacts. we have had reports that up to 5000 russians left or were leaving lyman — what happens to them? we have diverse information now. the data is from 2000 up to 5000 soldiers that had been in lyman, we can't say they are leaving, dying or capturing. that was the total number of russian forces over there.

we saw pictures that some were surrendering, quite a substantial number. we also saw pictures of those who have been leaving the last few days from the city with equipment. and we understand quite a number were killed in action. so what are the actual numbers? we don't know now as for now, and by the end of the day, the ministry of defence will announce some of the more detailed information. and i want to ask about what their next steps might be. how likely is that ukrainian army will return to donbas and the other annexed territories? this is potentially a watershed moment. i would not say a watershed moment, because the watershed probably started in izyum, when the ukrainian armed forces realised they really could counterattack and russian forces started to be defeated seriously. the same emotion we had in spring when we liberated

the north of the territory. what are we expecting now? first of all the return of control in lyman allows us to go to other important towns in the donetsk region. the big strategy to return back to the situation of february 2022. but also we receive more and more news about counter offence in the south — not so active or big but it is going on. kenya's amos kipruto has won the men's london marathon, while ethiopia's yalemzerf yehualaw triumphed in the women's. many more of the estimated 42,000 people are now starting to cross the finish line. 0ur 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. 0n 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 familiar faces, olympic athletes

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 fireman just ran past here, and a minion, so plenty to see on the course. now it's time for a look at the weather 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 warmer, especially with lighter 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 and northern ireland, and a strengthening breeze, too. hello. this is bbc news. i'm luxmy gopal and these are the headlines. one of the world's worst stadium disasters. at least 125 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
