3:05 am
supreme electoral court. here is what president bolsonaro had to say when he was asked about his allegations of fraud.- his allegations of fraud. well, there is the _ his allegations of fraud. well, there is the opportunity - his allegations of fraud. well, there is the opportunity to - there is the opportunity to have — there is the opportunity to have a _ there is the opportunity to have a conversation with governor, part of the party, we have _ governor, part of the party, we have a — governor, part of the party, we have a number of connections, i think— have a number of connections, i think that — have a number of connections, i think that the party in brazil had a — think that the party in brazil had a number of officers elected. we will meet with them and invite — elected. we will meet with them and invite them to give their very— and invite them to give their very best _ and invite them to give their very best throughout this campaign. of course, it is common_ campaign. of course, it is common for other candidates to be concerned with their own candidacy and not with the president's. so we will call their— president's. so we will call their attention to this the
3:06 am
focus _ their attention to this the focus on _ their attention to this the focus on the current situation. jair bolsonaro there. laura, this is pretty clear how polarised this is. we have the left, we have got the right and then we have got these votes available for both of them. but is there any way of telling which way the majority of those votes might go at this stage? well, that is the big question. yeah, soon nine candidates get eliminated from this race, about 8% of the right —— vote that has to be redistributed in the second round, and where will it go? the third placed candidate was considered perhaps slightly more critical of president bolsonaro and that perhaps lulu desilva might want to pick up some of her votes, but really, it is very unclear, and the really interesting thing is whether the second round of the election has more potential for more and greater
3:07 am
destabilisation, because this was a good night for president bolsonaro's allies in across brazil, but in the second round of the election, it will just be him against lulu desilva, a knockdown drag out fight, and there is more incentive for president bolsonaro to dispute the result, to make unfounded claims of electoral fraud. so the stakes will be higher, it will be even more polarised as two men with very different visions of brazil, one on the left and one on the right, fight it out, david. laura, thank you _ fight it out, david. laura, thank you very _ fight it out, david. laura, thank you very much - fight it out, david. laura, i thank you very much indeed fight it out, david. laura, - thank you very much indeed for all the coverage there. obviously we will keep across the stories, the campaign builds up again leading to october 30 four that run—off election vote. memorials are being held in indonesia after at least 125 people were killed at a stampede at a football stadium after police fired tear gas at fans who had invaded the pitch. it happened in malang,
3:08 am
on the island ofjava, from where our correspondent valdya baraputri sent this report. and a warning that you might find it distressing. the night after the tragedy, indonesian supporters returned to the kanjuruhan stadium, dozens walked around the area holding candles and chanting prayers. the night ended with a defeat to the home club, supporters went to the pitch to express their disappointment to players and officials and then indonesian officials tear gassed the crowd and people ran to the exits, only to find they were closed. tonight, people gathered at the statue of the club mascot where they put flowers and candles. ardut lost a friend he watched football games with, but he didn't go on that fateful day. he hopes his friend, father of two children, will getjustice. translation: i am in shock. i thought the atmosphere of football games had been getting better,
3:09 am
more family friendly. behind me, people are remembering the victims of the tragedy. they pray and put candles at one of the gates that people tried to get out from, but failed. cornered and desperate, supporters punched a wall to try to get out. more than 100 people died, some here on the scene and many others at the hospital. we can now speak to david lipson of abc australia who previously made a documentary investigating indonesian football culture. he joins us from sydney. obviously there is an investigation, an awful lot to work through here. but you put together a documentary called inside the world's most dangerous football league. what is so dangerous about it? taste is so dangerous about it? we look at the — is so dangerous about it? - look at the indonesian soccer league, football league in 2018 and we found that no less than 74 and we found that no less than 7a fans had been killed in the
3:10 am
two previous decades, many of them had been murdered by rival fans. and so at that time, it was and perhaps still is the deadliest football league in the world, so what we saw in milang, yes, absolutely shocking, but in some ways, at least some ways of it not so surprising. for example, the rule that in many football matches, only the home team fans are allowed in the stadium, that is pretty common. with saw that numerous times in the matches that we attended in 2018. and also, riot police at matches, very common as well, not just outside the matches, very common as well, notjust outside the stadium, but one of the matches for example we went and saw, when the crowd got very rowdy and started pelting the field with flares and other projectiles, the riot police were on the field with their shields, batons and, yes, teargas, although teargas wasn't used,
3:11 am
but the personnel carriers with water cannon ready to go. it is water cannon ready to go. it is re water cannon ready to go. it is pretty heavy — water cannon ready to go. it is pretty heavy duty- _ water cannon ready to go. it is pretty heavy duty. is - water cannon ready to go. it is pretty heavy duty. is this basically simple hooliganism? basically simple hooliganism ? what basically simple hooliganism? what is ringing on this level of violence?— of violence? yes, look, it is not quite — of violence? yes, look, it is not quite that _ of violence? yes, look, it is not quite that simple. - of violence? yes, look, it is not quite that simple. it - of violence? yes, look, it is not quite that simple. it is l not quite that simple. it is fanaticism. there are not really so many fans, it is more fanatics when it comes to all in indonesia, and by the way, not fuelled by alcohol in many cases because it is an muslim nation and ice—t is the strongest you can get in the stadiums, but there is this underlying current of corruption, there certainly wasn't 2018, match fixing was very rice, and mafia so one of the chance we commonly was mafia dogs, when the match were not going the way the fans wanted it to or when it was going the way that the rumours had said it was going to go, thatis had said it was going to go, that is the match fixing rumours, meant things often got
3:12 am
ugly very quickly. rumours, meant things often got ugly very quickly-— ugly very quickly. what do you think could — ugly very quickly. what do you think could be _ ugly very quickly. what do you think could be done _ ugly very quickly. what do you think could be done then - ugly very quickly. what do you think could be done then in . ugly very quickly. what do you | think could be done then in the short to medium term to try and arrest this? obviously documentaries for years this has been going on for years now, back to the 90s. it is now, back to the 90s. it is a hue now, back to the 90s. it is a huge problem _ now, back to the 90s. it is a huge problem and _ now, back to the 90s. it is a huge problem and they - now, back to the 90s. it is aj huge problem and they have tried not so successfully it seems to fix things, but from what i have been hearing, it sounded like the atmosphere at matches had been improving in previous, recent years. there were more families at matches. certainly i think the rule which didn't appear to work in this case should remain in place, that is when there is real rivals playing each other. beyond that, it is very hard to know. it is a problem they have been trying to solve for a long time. but when you have got players being transported to matches in armoured personnel carriers, it is very hard to know. the obvious thing here in this case is the teargas being
3:13 am
fired into the crowd, and the investigation will look into that. that should never have happened, clearly, but you shouldn't underestimate that the real danger that players, officials and, yes, police are in when these matches turn in an ugly direction, in terms of the fans, and the sort of violence they can bring. yes, it is a pretty _ violence they can bring. yes, it is a pretty terrible - violence they can bring. yes, it is a pretty terrible set - violence they can bring. yes, it is a pretty terrible set of i it is a pretty terrible set of circumstances to force change, but it sounds as if that is very much needed. david, thank you very much indeed. david from abc australia. that you may bring you up—to—date with some of the day's other news now. 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. a storm heading towards the pacific coast of mexico has been upgraded to a category 4 hurricane. the storm — named orlene — has strengthened throughout the day, causing torrential

3:19 am
at the frontline with the guns in action, the order is run. we reach ukrainian positions in the city of bakhmut. we can't say where. but the russians are close, we are told — just a00m away. troops are standing their ground here but in this corner of the donetsk region, it's tough. oleksandr leads the unit and 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." explosions, gunfire. as battles rage just beyond the building, they deploy one of the key weapons of this conflict. the drone operator has become a father since the war began. he has seen his baby son, carrillo, only once. 0h! he's fighting, he says, to stop the russians committing more atrocities.

3:24 am
when bella hadid 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 fabrican ltd 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 dress 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 back to the punk era and, apparently, sky—high platforms are making a huge comeback.
3:25 am
there was also a moment of reflection at paris fashion week as models took to the runway wearing clothes from the issey miyake 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. we have another performance for you here now. now, if you're afraid of heights, maybe this next contest isn't for you. this is spain's biggest human tower competition. loads of people take part. the rules are simple — build the tallest tower and scoop the 16,000 euro prize. thousands of spectators packed the bullring in the north—east city of tarragona to watch the catalan tradition. a0 teams took part in this year's competition, which was the first since the pandemic. the winners managed to build a tower which was 10 people
3:26 am
high. well done, them! that is bbc 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 here and now. briefly, high pressure on top of england and wales. that's led to the calm conditions and, in fact, at six o'clock in the morning on monday in some spots in the countryside, temperatures could be just a couple of degrees above freezing. compare that to, say, 10 degrees in 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 in the day on monday but elsewhere, right from the word go and then through the afternoon,
3:27 am
it is going to be a mostly bright day and quite a warm one, too — 19 in london, 17 in liverpool — but where we have the thick cloud and the outbreaks of rain, it will be closer to 1a or 15. but you can see that this weather 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. come 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. now, i want to focus also on tuesday night 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. gales notjust around coasts but inland, too — 50, maybe even 60 mph — and on top of that,
3:28 am
there will be a lot of heavy rain. northern wales, the north west of england, south—western scotland, we could get up to 100mm 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. and with those warm south—westerly winds — for example, in london most days — temperatures will be not far off 20 degrees. bye— bye.
3:29 am
3:30 am
this is bbc news. i'm david eades. the headlines: brazil's presidential election will be settled in a second—round run—off vote on october 30. neither the left—wing challenger, luiz inacio lula da silva, nor the right—wing incumbent, jair bolsonaro, were able to gain the 51% of the vote required secure a first—round victory. indonesian authorities are investigating the death of 125 football fans killed in a stadium. thousands of fans panicked and rushed for an exit after police fired tear gas at them when they invaded the pitch. memorials have been held across indonesia for the deceased.
