1:07 am
say the military leader a six—month ceasefire in yemen's civil war has ended. according to the united nations, no agreement has been reached on extending the truce between houthi rebels and a saudi— led coalition. the un said talks aimed at renewing the deal would continue. the health authorities in haiti say a cholera outbreak has killed up to eight people. officials are investigating several possible cases in the outskirts of the capital, port—au—prince. an outbreak 12 years ago killed almost 10,000 haitians. memorials are being held in indonesia after 125 people were
1:08 am
killed at a stampede at a football stadium. after police fired tear gas at fans who had invaded the pitch. it happened in malang, on the island ofjava, from where our correspondent valdya baraputri sent this report. and a warning that you might find it distressing. dozens walked around the area holding candles and chancing prayers. the night after the incident. the night ended with the defeat of the home club, some waters went to the pitch to express disappointment to players and officials then indonesian officials to guest the crowd and people ran to the exit only to find they were closed. tonight people gathered at the statue of the club mascot where they put flowers and candles. this man lost a friend he watched football

1:10 am
agree? in waiting to happen, do you auree? , , �*, agree? in some ways, yes, it's not entirely — agree? in some ways, yes, it's not entirely surprising, - not entirely surprising, shocking, yes, but indonesian football has had problems for years, year we investigated the indonesian football league in 2018, it was the deadliest football league in the world with 94 fans killed in the previous couple of decades. either through accidents, or often they were murdered by rival fans. often they were murdered by rivalfans. so, yes, it is fairly, very unusualfor rivalfans. so, yes, it is fairly, very unusual for police to be firing tear gas inside a stadium, but for riot police, to be at football matches is fairly commonplace, and tear gas is sometimes fired outside. what you have described sounds rather vicious in terms of its culture, you talk about alleged
1:11 am
match fixing in your documentary, tell us a little more about the indonesian football culture?— more about the indonesian football culture? look, i guess in the words _ football culture? look, i guess in the words of _ football culture? look, i guess in the words of some - football culture? look, i guess in the words of some of- football culture? look, i guess in the words of some of the i in the words of some of the european imports that were playing in the league that we interviewed, they said was the wildest thing they had ever seen. it wasn't uncommon for football players to be transported to matches and armoured personnel carriers, those right police were not just outside the stadiums, at one of the matches we went to they were on the field, with shields, patterns, tear gas at the ready and water cannon vehicles on the field pointed at the crowd, ready as they work being pelted with everything from toilet paper to fleas. that rule that you may have heard about in malang, only the home team fans are loud at the stadium, that is not uncommon at all and we saw up not uncommon at all and we saw up close the reason that when a
1:12 am
23 old van from the jakarta team broke that rule and went incognito to a match and was identified in the crowd was quickly beaten and beaten to death, and that was all before he got inside the stadium. there is that violence that exists, but underlying it all as you mentioned, this underlayer of match fixing, corruption, it absolutely did exist then, even mafia involved in quite substantial as well. the league has done everything they can, it seems to try to stamp it out but they haven't always had a lot of success, and every time the crowd gets a whiff of something untoward happening on the field and to the result, they are on the losing end of that things can explode very quickly.- explode very quickly. david li son, explode very quickly. david lipson, thank _ explode very quickly. david lipson, thank you - explode very quickly. david lipson, thank you very - explode very quickly. david l lipson, thank you very much explode very quickly. david - lipson, thank you very much for joining us. the british prime minister has
1:13 am
admitted her government should have paid laid the ground better. before unveiling its plan for major tax cuts funded by borrowing which led to days of turmoil on the financial markets. in a bbc interview this morning liz truss defended the content of the mini budget but some prominent conservatives are publicly expressing significant concern. the report by our political editor chris mason contains flashing images. liz truss facing the music. smile for the cameras. this is what close scrutiny looks like when you are a prime minister and chancellor, especially after the week they've had. a penny for what they're whispered small talk was about after their big joint decisions had huge consequences. earlier, in a bbc interview, the prime minister's first acknowledgement that she'd made mistakes. i do want to say to people that i understand their worries about what has happened this week and i do stand by the package we announced and i stand by the fact
1:14 am
that we announced it quickly, because we had to act, but i do accept we should have laid the ground better. i have learnt from that and i will make sure that in future we do a betterjob of laying the ground. one element of the budget plans that angers many conservative mps is the tax cuts for the very highest earners, and so there is an obvious question. are you absolutely committed to abolishing the 45p tax rate for the wealthiest people in the country? yes, and it's part, laura, 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. an energy package costing billions but overshadowed by the tax cuts. did you discuss scrapping the top rate with your whole cabinet? no, no, we didn't. it was a decision that
1:15 am
the chancellor made. cabinet isolated from what was coming, a prime minister isolated after what came next. market turmoil and the pound plunging almost as fast as the confidence of conservative mps. watching, with his verdict on what he'd heard, a familiarface, no fan of liz truss, who is still not convinced. the sheer risk of using borrowed money to fund tax cuts, that is not conservative. to have as your principal decision the headline tax move, cutting tax for the wealthiest, that is a display of the wrong values. it's not unusual for left—wing protesters to rather noisily articulate their opposition to the conservatives outside their conference, but what is striking this year is there are blunt voices of opposition to the prime
1:16 am
minister inside, too. tonight, another intervention from another former cabinet minister, who told me the cut in tax for the richest is so unpopular, mps will reject it. the problem is, and i noticed this talking to my constituents this weekend, that what they are seeing is money being borrowed in order to fund tax cuts for the better off, whilst they themselves are having to, for example, take on a second shift, anotherjob, in order to pay for the rise in interest rates and mortgage rates. but let's not muddy the water with this other thing, this tax cut for wealthy people right now when the priority needs to be done everyday households. in yourjudgment, will the prime minister be able to get these budgetary measures through the house of commons? no, unfortunately, and really this is the backstop, i don't think the house is in a place where it's likely to support that. how helpful is it to intervene publicly now, so soon after a new prime minister has taken office? i mean this to be entirely helpful. there is a way through this
1:17 am
but the way through isn't to put fingers in the ear, tin ears, and just push on. not yet a month in the job, liz truss' first party conference as prime minister is anything but a honeymoon. in the next few days here, she will need to douse her party and the country in bucketfuls of reassurance. chris mason, bbc news, in birmingham. still to come, the spray on dress that is the talk of the catwalk. clinic room this was a celebration by people who are relishing their freedom. they think everything will be different from now on, they think their country will be respected in the world once

1:20 am
at the front line, with the guns in action, the order is, run. we reach ukrainian positions in the city. we can't say where. but the russians are close, we are told. just 400 metres away. troops are standing their ground here, but in this corner of the donetsk region, it is tough. aleksander leads the unit. and he knows the cost of war. not only from fighting his own battles. my brother died, he says, but i don't know where and when exactly. because he was drafted by a different drafting office, in a different region. as well as my brother, a few of my comrades died.
1:21 am
as battles rage just beyond the building, they deploy one of the key weapons of this conflict. roman, the drone operator, has become a father since the war began. he has seen his baby son carrillo only once. he is fighting, he says, to stop the russians committing more atrocities. i don't want them to do what they did in the future, he tells me. i lived in kyiv, i understand very well what women feel. if we are weak, they will come from families. so if they defend every inch of territory. we've
1:22 am
been hearing plenty of shelling, but notjust shelling, but not just shelling. shelling, but notjust shelling. there are small arms fire, which suggest that the russians and the ukrainians are not far apart. we have to be careful here. we've been told there is a russian sniper operating from that direction. for the troops here, this is a grained, day and night. a hard battle to hold this position and stop the russians from pushing into the city. president putin claims this is now his. part of the territory he officially annexed on friday. soldiers here say he is deluded. the city centre bears the scars of his attacks. and echoes to the sounds of his war. imagine this was your home, torn to pieces. it seems

1:25 am
when bella had walked onto the runway wearing just a skimpy nude thong and heels, the audience had no idea what was about to happen. the american model stood stock still while a team from fabric unlimited sprayed her body with a white liquid, which slowly but surely turned into a sleek white slip dress. layer upon layer was added, and once the address was finished off with a sexy split, she posed up a storm for waiting photographers in her one—of—a—kind dress. there was drama of a different kind at the valentino show, when a model lost a shoe on the runway, but instead of putting it back on, she just discarded the other one and continued strutting her stuff as if nothing had happened. fashion is a fickle business, and keeping up with what's in and what's not is a full—time job. but you can always rely on vivienne westwood to shake things up. her spring summer 2023 collection takes us right
1:26 am
back to the punk era, and apparently sky—high platforms are making a huge comeback. there was also a moment of reflection at paris fashion week, as models took to the runway wearing clothes from the sme ackee collection for the first time since his death. the show ended with a dance performance by the models, which was accompanied by a pianist and a massive round of applause. wendy urquhart, bbc news. and that is all for now. stay with bbc world news. hello. quite a chilly start for some of us on monday with the light winds and clearing skies overnight. very different to how the weather is going to be overall in the week ahead. in fact, we are expecting strong winds and spells of heavy rain. back to the hero now. briefly, high pressure on top of england and wales. that has led to the calm conditions, and in fact at six o'clock in the morning on monday, in some spots in the
1:27 am
countryside, temperatures could be just a couple of degrees above freezing. compare that to, say, 10 degrees and western parts of scotland, where we have more of a breeze off the atlantic and that's ahead of this weather front, which will spread across northern ireland and scotland later on in the day end monday, but elsewhere right from the word go and then through the afternoon, it is going to be a mostly bright day and quite a won one too. 19 in london, 17 in liverpool, but when we have a thick cloud in the outbreaks of rain, it will be closer to 14 or 15. but you can see this with a front doesn't make much progress southwards as we go through monday evening, in fact most of that weather just sweeps towards the north and the east. from tuesday morning, some western and northern areas of england and wales will get some rain, as this rain pulls away from scotland and northern ireland on tuesday. but with this weather front come south—westerly winds, quite warm winds, so look at the temperatures, 20 degrees in norwich and london where it should stay bright. i want to focus also on tuesday night
1:28 am
into wednesday. this weather front will spawn a separate area of low pressure, quite a nasty low pressure, which will sweep across the uk during the course of wednesday. a lot of isobars there, so some very strong winds and a very gusty weather front as it moves across the uk. gail is notjust about coasts but england too, 50 may be even 60 mph, and on top of that there will be a lot of heavy rain. northern wales, the north west of england, south—western scotland, we could get up to 100 millimetres of rain through tuesday and wednesday combined. and then thursday, that low pressure is in scandinavia, but in its wake, we have strong atlantic winds, which will continue to push in showers. the showers will mostly affect scotland and northern ireland. in fact, the further south you are the better the weather will be in with those warm south—westerly winds for example in london most days, temperatures will be not far off 20 degrees. goodbye.
