hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones. this is outside source. the uk chancellor bows to pressure and scraps the cut in the top rate of income tax, just ten days after announcing it. this 45p rate became a distraction, and i, along with the prime minister, decided that the best course of action would simply be not to proceed with the abolition of the rate. have the chancellor and the prime minister liz truss done enough to win back the markets, critical tory mps — and the public? also on the programme: brazil's divisive presidential election heads for a second round run—off, afterjair bolsonaro beat expectations, finishing a close second to lula da silva.

iran's supreme leader accuses the united states of orchestrating widespread public protests over the death of a young woman in police custody. we're going to start here in the uk and politics. the row over giving a tax cut to some of the richest people in the country. to some of the richest for ten days the conservative government said it was the right thing to do. now they say they're not going to do it. here's the chancellor kwasi kwarteng saying that particular tax cut is not now going ahead. the 45p rate was simply a distraction from what was a very very strong set of measures and with the prime minister i decided not to proceed with the abolition of the rate. to be clear, what we're talking about is a huge—u turn on one of the government's flagship economic policies, scrapping the top rate of income tax.

let's take a closer look. currently, the highest earners pay 45% tax on their income over £150,000. some 660,000 people are thought to pay the highest tax rate. so if that 45p tax rate had been cut for someone who earns around £200,000 each year, they'd save around £3,000 a year. the government had said tax cuts make the uk more competitive and attractive to investors. critics call the plan unfair. among them is former cabinet minister michael gove. when you have additional billions of pounds in plate to have as your principal decision the headline of cutting tax for the wealthiest, that is a display of the wrong values. also critical is former transport secretary grant shapps.

you are borrowing money to cut taxes for people _ you are borrowing money to cut taxes for people who are already better off, and _ for people who are already better off, and the public, for example one constituents said i am taking on extra _ constituents said i am taking on extra shifts because mortgage rates are going _ extra shifts because mortgage rates are going up and you are borrowing money— are going up and you are borrowing money to— are going up and you are borrowing money to fund these tax cuts. to understand that criticism — let's go back, the mini budget announcement took place in parliament on septermber 23rd, a whole range of plans were laid out, together making up the biggest tax cuts in the uk in 50 years — and increased borrowing. that rattled markets. the day of the announcement, the pound fell dramatically against the us dollar. next, the international monetary fund even issued rare criticism of the plan. a day later, the bank of england was forced to intervene to calm the markets. but despite the criticism, throughout the last ten days the chancellor and prime minister said they wouldn't change course. this was an interview the same day as the mini budget.

i don't think it's a gamble at all. what was a gamble was sticking to the course we were on. we had taxes at the highest since the so that was september 23rd. a week later prime minister liz truss wrote in the sun newspaper. she said not everyone will like what the government was doing, but that she believed it was the right plan. that was friday. and on sunday — she said this. are you committed to abolishing the 45p tax rate for the wealthiest people in the country? yes 45p tax rate for the wealthiest people in the country? yes and it is art of a people in the country? yes and it is part of a package — people in the country? yes and it is part of a package of _ people in the country? yes and it is part of a package of making - people in the country? yes and it is part of a package of making our- part of a package of making our tax system _ part of a package of making our tax system simpler and lower. so in liz truss' words, committed to abolishing the highest tax rate. but less than 2a hours later the chancellor tweeted this statement, and these words: "we get it, and we have listened". the planned cut to the top rate of tax wouldn't go ahead. then this afternoon kwasi kwarteng spoke to party members at the tory conference.

i now the plan put forward only ten days ago has caused a little turbulence. i get it. we are listening and have listened and now i want to focus on delivering the major part of our growth package. the opposition labour party has other words. this is the shadow chancellor. it showed what their instincts were. their instincts were to cut taxes for the wealthiest in society paid for by borrowing, which in the end, current and future taxpayers will have to pay for. some conservative mps who defended the original plan now defend not doing it. here's the chief secretary to the treasury. there was obviously a lot of complaints and i'm sure you heard as well about the 45p. the prime minister listened to that. so i think it is fair to say this is a government that does listen and does respond when appropriate. but what we're not going to do is be diverted from our mission, which is to get the economy growing, which will benefit everyone in the form of higher wages,

betterjobs, and a more sustainably funded public sector. uk political correspondent rob watson is at the conservative party conference in birmingham. so this has got an awful lot of people talking over the last ten days and another dramatic day to day. days and another dramatic day to da . , . ,., u, days and another dramatic day to da. , . .,, days and another dramatic day to da. , day. very much so, it can only be described — day. very much so, it can only be described as _ day. very much so, it can only be described as a _ day. very much so, it can only be described as a humiliating - day. very much so, it can only bej described as a humiliating u-turn described as a humiliating u—turn because both kwasi kwarteng and prime minister liz truss had gone out of their way to say they would not do this and they did, as basically ideology meant reality, and also profound in the sense that at the heart of their project was this idea of a post—brexit britain that needs to deregulate and needs lower taxes to attract entrepreneurs and to say the uk is open for business and even though this tax cut for the richest 1% in this country involved tiny amounts of

money, it's difficult for them to have had to give this up because it undermines their whole project. what kind of damage do you think this will do long and medium term. 0ne sector to look at are the financial markets because that was what made britain such a big global story last week, those big movements in the cost of borrowing and the price of the pound and a problem the financial markets have as they are not sure if this is a serious government so they will want to see more evidence of seriousness. the other problem with the markets is although i said to some extent giving up the highest tax bracket undermine their project, be in no doubt that liz truss and kwasi kwarteng are still committed to what

they see as economic unorthodox measures and that frightens financial markets that want orthodoxy. the second group is conservative party activists, some are nervous and some are not depending how much they believe in the project, and a third group are voters and that is the question, have these days seen a sea change, british voters are losing their faith in the conservatives as efficient managers of the economy we don't know the answers to that but the polls suggest there may be a sea change. in ukraine — president zelensky says troops have made more advances against russian occupying forces. it comes just days after ukraine retook the strategic town of lyman, a move seen as a significant setback for the russian campaign in the east. and now the ukrainian push in the south is also making gains — president zelensky said two villages near the city of kherson

have been recaptured. despite that, russia's lower house of parliament has unanimously ratified a bill today, annexing these four regions of ukraine. so what is life like for the millions of people now living in territory occupied by russia? 0ur correspondent paul adams reports from southern ukraine. ukrainian forces on the move again, this time taking back villages in the south. progress has been slow here since the summer, but this all seems to happen quickly, again taking russia by surprise. for ukraine's president, volodymyr zelensky, it was more good news to report in his nightly address. he thanked the units involved. and that's not all. far to the east, scene of september's lightning counteroffensive, ukrainian troops are still pushing forward, now threatening to enter territory annexed by russia on friday.

russia now has major headaches on two fronts at the same time, just when it's trying to conscript, train and equip badly—needed extra troops. vladimir putin may have celebrated annex in chunks of ukraine, but his problems just keep multiplying. but for civilians trapped inside russian—controlled territory, life is getting harder. we reach a man in kherson who doesn't want to be identified. he says the big fear is conscription. well, the conscription is just a matter of time. we don't know which time. people around kherson are being conscripted by dozens, and it makes us all afraid, of course. russia's annexation is also making it much harder for people to leave. here at the reception centre in zaporizhzhia, officials are used to seeing 1000 people a day fleeing occupied areas. today it's practically deserted. 19—year—old maksym finally made it after four days

of travelling and waiting. he's here with his brother, mother and the family cat. translation: we stayed there - because we didn't know where to go, but after the referendum it got very scary because i could get conscripted into the russian army and i could neverfight for russia. his family is moving on, hoping to find safety and some kind of future far from russian occupation. 30 people have made it out so far today — hope and uncertainty mixing in equal measure. paul adams, bbc news, zaporizhzhia. now — the latest on the presidential election in brazil, which is going into a second round after no candidate won 50% of the votes in the first round. the current president, far—rightjair bolsonaro, received more votes than expected, gaining 43% of the vote. but he still finished behind his socialist challenger, luiz inacio lula da silva, with 48%.

the two candidates will now face a run—off, with voters having four weeks to decide which of the two should lead the country. katy watson reports. cheering. there were cheers for lula as well as tears. but this wasn't the outright victory that his supporters had hoped for. polls had predicted a 14 percentage point gap between him and bolsonaro. but they vastly underestimated the support for the right—wing leader. after the results, lula said there would be no let—up in campaigning. translation: i've never won an election in the first round. | it's like destiny wants me to work a bit more. we are going to win the election again. it's just a question of time. meanwhile, bolsonaro had this to say. translation: i know there's a desire to change from people, _ but there are certain changes that will end up worse. and we tried to show that during the campaign,

but clearly that didn't get through to the most important part of society. these elections were seen as the most important since brazil returned to democracy in the 1980s. 11 candidates were running, but only two were realistic options. a leftist former leader with a legacy of corruption, or a far right president criticised for his democratic record. for his democratic record. two political foes now going head to head to lead latin america's biggest nation. there's concern this race could also get violent. katy watson, bbc news, in sao paolo. lula and bolsonaro will be fighting for the 7% of votes cast for the candidates who came third and fourth — and are now out of the race. together they earned about 8.5 million votes and haven't said yet who'll they'll endorse. in what looks like an increasingly tight race, these votes are crucial as a politics professor in sao paulo explains.

one of the candidates that has dropped out has already signalled that she will support lula. but the truth is, it's a very polarised election and voters will make up their minds without actually taking much to account what other candidates will say. but is lula still the favourite to win? here's one of the founders of lula's worker's party, president lula is stronger than him and i believe that in the debate with the both of them having the opportunity to explain their plans, i am sure that president lula will get more sympathy from the people. we heard lula's side is still confident he's going to win,

but the big surprise of this election was the very strong showing by his opponent, jair bolsonaro. he performed better than expected in all of the country's 27 states and outperformed polls by at least eight percentage points in ten states. governors and lawmakers who are allies of bolsonaro also did better than polls had anticipated. in the lower house, bolsonaro's party won 99 seats out of 513 seats. in comparison, lula's coalition took 80 seats while in the senate, bolsonaro's party took 13 out of the 81 seats. lula's party won only nine. so how did polls get it wrong? this is the assessment of the co—founder of english—language news site the brazilian report. opinion polls were within the margin of error for every candidate except forjair bolsonaro. now, is it because bolsonaro has incited his supporters to discredit opinion polls and maybe not tell them what were in their minds? that's one possibility. another is that pollsters use census

data that is outdated. our census was supposed to happen in 2020, and it's still going on because of the pandemic, because of budgetary cuts. and also there is a question, are the questions being asked to voters the right questions at this point? are they really assessing what voters are thinking? brazil faces a number of challenges. despite being latin america's largest economy, brazil has one of the lowest gdp forecast in the region. unemployement remains high at around 9% although it has fallen after reaching a peak of 14% during the pandemic. inflation has also started to decline, but remains high at around 8%. joining me now from sao paulo is eduardo mello, a political scientist at the zhetulio vargash foundation, a brazilian think tank. thanks so much for coming on the

programme. the first round of voting is done onto the second round, some crucial weeks ahead. it is going to be a tight race and can we expect? it is a tight race. bolsonaro did better than expected but lula is still ahead. better than expected but lula is stillahead. both better than expected but lula is still ahead. both are strong candidates, very popular leaders, so they will fight for every vote. what they will fight for every vote. what are the big issues _ they will fight for every vote. what are the big issues now, _ they will fight for every vote. what are the big issues now, the big ideas between the two candidates, what is the choice that voters are getting to choose between? lula is centre-left. _ getting to choose between? lula is centre-left. he _ getting to choose between? lula is centre-left, he was _ getting to choose between? lula is centre-left, he was the _ getting to choose between? lula is centre-left, he was the president l getting to choose between? lula is| centre-left, he was the president of centre—left, he was the president of the country in the 2000s, after he endorsed his protege dilma rousseff

who ended up presiding over the country for one term and then being re—elected, only to be impeached by congress. lula himself presided over a period of high economic growth but his successor and protege didn't. there is a legacy of corruption surrounding the party. it really tarnished their reputation. on the other hand, bolsonaro is a right—wing candidate, probably the first far right political leader that has mastered support in brazil since the end of our military dictatorship in the 1980s. he has a strong, socially conservative message, campaigned on a free market platform but didn't quite deliver on that, but these are very different

candidates. that, but these are very different candidates-— that, but these are very different candidates. ., , , ., , ., ~ candidates. you spelt out the stark contrast, candidates. you spelt out the stark contrast. this _ candidates. you spelt out the stark contrast, this is _ candidates. you spelt out the stark contrast, this is a _ candidates. you spelt out the stark contrast, this is a clear— candidates. you spelt out the stark contrast, this is a clear decision . contrast, this is a clear decision voters have to make, what the country will look like depending who they vote for. briefly because we are almost out of time, this idea that he copies and is similar to donald trump in the us has led to questions about whether ifjar bolsonaro loses he may question the integrity of the vote itself and that may have damaging consequences. what is your assessment of the risks of that? it’s what is your assessment of the risks of that? v . . , what is your assessment of the risks ofthat? fl. ., _.,, of that? it's certainly possible, he talked about _ of that? it's certainly possible, he talked about that _ of that? it's certainly possible, he talked about that but _ of that? it's certainly possible, he talked about that but i _ of that? it's certainly possible, he talked about that but i think- of that? it's certainly possible, he talked about that but i think the i talked about that but i think the results yesterday made it less likely because bolsonaro elected a strong base in congress, he elected a number of allies to govern our houses around the country so if lula wins, he is the strongest leader of the opposition so he will probably

commit if he loses, tried to remain a strong leader and try to make a comeback in a future years. we have weeks ahead — comeback in a future years. we have weeks ahead of— comeback in a future years. we have weeks ahead of the _ comeback in a future years. we have weeks ahead of the selection. - comeback in a future years. we have weeks ahead of the selection. thank| weeks ahead of the selection. thank you for teeing it up so nicely. to iran now and the anti—government protests. we've now heard from the supreme leader for the first time since people started coming out onto the streets. the protests started after the death of a young woman in police custody. she was being held for apparently breaking the country's dress code. now ayatollah ali khamenei had this message. translation: i say clearly that these riots _ translation: i say clearly that these riots and _ translation: i say clearly that these riots and the _ translation: i say clearly that these riots and the insecurity i translation: | say clearly that l these riots and the insecurity were engineered by the us and the occupying fourth zionist regime as well as their paid agents with the help of some traitorous iranians are broad. there's been an escalation anti—government protests

in the past 48 hours. overnight iranian police clashed with students at a top university in tehran. this video appears to show students fleeing into the car park as they were pursued by security forces on motorbikes. you can hear gunshots ring out. the sharif university is one of the country's most prestigious science and engineering schools. sunday was the first day of term for first—year students. according to the semi—official mehr news agency about 200 students gathered at the campus in the afternoon and began chanting slogans including "woman, life, freedom" and "students prefer death to humiliation". security forces arrived later that afternoon and clashes broke out. according to iranian media security personnel fired tear gas and paintballs at students. next, we're told, security forces laid siege to the university and began rounding up students. in this video you can hear gunfire. many students fled to

an underground car park but became trapped as security forces tried to flush them out. here's bbc persian�*s rana rahimpour on what happened next. this chase continues until they get to their dorms and now we have footage of police shooting at the windows of the dorms and dragging students out of their rooms. so for reportedly over 100 students have been arrested, many parents are worried because this is not the first time university dorms come under attack but to give context to your audience, under attack but to give context to youraudience, can under attack but to give context to your audience, can you under attack but to give context to youraudience, can you imagine under attack but to give context to your audience, can you imagine if oxford university comes under sage or mit comes under siege and security forces attack students? these are some of the brightest minds of iran, it's not easy to get into sharif university and now hundreds of families are trying to find their loved ones and children.

the us—based centre for human rights in iran said another video showed "detained protester being carted away with entire head wrapped in clothing" by two security personnel on a motorbike, one of whom then opens fire at the woman filming. protests first broke out in iran over the death of mahsa amini, who was arrested for allegedly breaking the country's strict laws on how females can dress. protests have now spread to many schools. this is the university of isfahan. students here are tearing down the gate. protests across iran have been met with a heavy crackdown. more than a hundred people are feared dead. rana rahimpour is with me now. we heard from you in a moment to go talking about those events, those pictures are shocking.— talking about those events, those pictures are shocking. where are we now? despite _ pictures are shocking. where are we now? despite the _ pictures are shocking. where are we now? despite the crackdown - pictures are shocking. where are we now? despite the crackdown and - pictures are shocking. where are we | now? despite the crackdown and the violence we saw in that video from security forces, protests continued

today in dozens of universities across iran as well as schools so today we saw the largest school student protests in the last three weeks, in fact ever. many young girls, as soon as school finished they went out on the streets, they took out their headscarves and started chanting and in one case we can see a video in which they chase away an authority from the school. he was an individual from the ministry of education and students are chanting against him and they force them out of their school, so this is now a very interesting stage of these protests because younger people are joining it and younger people are joining it and younger people are joining it and younger people are seemingly a far less afraid than the older generations. try to put this in context because i can remember when these protests

first broke out in the expectation was that we see this and it tends to dive down and nothing seems to change. put this in context, how unusual is what is going on now? we are unusual is what is going on now? - are looking at the longest and geographically most widespread protest against the islamic republic of iran in the last 43 years. this is hugely significant. usually there were eruptions for a few days and they were quickly cracked down, sometimes dozens or hundreds killed and it died down but this time the generation on the streets, which is far less afraid of the previous generations, they are clear in their mind that they did not want the islamic republic and they know how to mobilise themselves. i islamic republic and they know how to mobilise themselves.— to mobilise themselves. i want to come onto _ to mobilise themselves. i want to come onto that _ to mobilise themselves. i want to come onto that because - to mobilise themselves. i want to come onto that because this - to mobilise themselves. i want to come onto that because this is i to mobilise themselves. i want to come onto that because this is a l come onto that because this is a wider issue, it started with that one particular case and that's part of a series of grievances and the

vaughanjones and this is outside source on bbc news. goodbye. it's been a mainly dry day in wales and england but for northern ireland and england but for northern ireland and scotland some rain and more on the way and it will turn very wet across parts of western scotland late in the night and first thing in the morning. an area of low pressure to the north—west, this weather front moving in and it will take rain further south to north so wales will have a wetter day. after midnight we will see the heaviest rain moving back into northern ireland and western scotland, windy and by morning we could see 30—50 millimetres across western scotland, that could bring disruption to travel first thing in difficult conditions on the roads. a very manlike, 15 degrees in belfast.

wales and england staying mainly dry but as the rain clears away from northern ireland and scotland we will see some of that into england and wales, eventually reaching the midlands and south west england. east anglia and the south—east are mainly dry day, some hazy brightness and for scotland and northern ireland it will gradually turn brighter, quite blustery and showers in scotland, mild in the south—east. that area of rainfall getting stuck and then dissipating before another swathe of wet weather heads in on tuesday night into wednesday morning, again very wet across parts of scotland as wednesday begins. some uncertainty about the development and how strong the area of low pressure will be as it sweeps across us on wednesday and in terms of rainfall we have noticed how wet it is across scotland, may be north—west england, this area of squally downpours and gusty winds

feeding further south—east through the day, behind it brightening up on blustery winds. these are the average speeds, this is what you will notice at the moment, there is a potentialfor will notice at the moment, there is a potential for something stronger in terms of gusts and across northern areas may be 70—80 mph on wednesday, more likely they will not be that strong but we will keep you updated, there is a potentialfor disruptive winds on wednesday and for the rest of the week it will stay quite blustery, showers around, most frequent in the north and west.

hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones. this is outside source. the uk chancellor bows to pressure and scraps the cut in the top rate of income tax, just ten days after announcing it. this 45p rate became a distraction and i, along with the prime minister decided that the best course of action would simply be not to proceed with the abolition of the rate. indonesia sacks a police chief — after one of the world's worst football stadium disasters. at least 32 children were among 125 people killed in the crush. efforts to restore calm in burkina faso, after the west african country's second coup this year alone.

and, cheers for the king and queen consort on their first public engagement since the end of the period of royal mourning. welcome back to the programme. two indonesia now... the indonesian authorities have sacked the police chief in the city of malang where one of the world's worst football stadium disasters took place on saturday. at least nine other officers have been suspended as an investigation into the tragedy — which left 125 people dead — gets under way. this the moment police began firing tear gas at fans who'd stormed the pitch as the match ended. witnesses say more than 20 rounds of tear gas were fired, sending thousands fleeing towards exits, only to find some closed. this is one of the exits,

where a grille window was smashed as fans tried to break through. many of those killed were trampled or suffocated in crushes. 32 children are now known to be among the dead. another 320 people were injured, including this 22—year—old, who is clear where he believes the blame lies. translation: many of our friends lost their lives because of officers l who did not treat us as humans. we are very disappointed with the treatment because many lives were lost. valdya baraputri from bbc indonesian is at a hospital where many of those who were injured are being treated. i'm at one of the hospitals that care for the injured supporters after the tragedy of the football stadium here in malang, indonesia. the hospital told us that families and relatives have collected all the victims�* bodies. meanwhile, here in the waiting area, some families are still worried about their loved ones.

i spoke to mothers whose children are still being treated here from injuries after the stampede. one of the mothers told me her 17—year—old daughter is still unconscious since october the 1st. and we can hear from that mother, of 17—year—old debora: translation: she has chest injuries translation: she has chest in'uries from bein: translation: she has chest in'uries from being stepped i translation: she has chest in'uries from being stepped on. i translation: she has chest in'uries from being stepped on. herh translation: she has chest injuries from being stepped on. her neck- translation: she has chest injuries from being stepped on. her neck is i from being stepped on. her neck is broken, her eyes are swollen. the hospital says she suffers brain swelling, too. iasked her hospital says she suffers brain swelling, too. i asked her not to watch the game that day. she didn't return home. in the morning, her friends were looking for her. we were looking for her in the emergency room, but she wasn't there. the hospital told us to look in the mortuary. the confusion happened because my daughter didn't carry an id. well let's put some faces to the victims: these are two brothers, 15—year—old ahmad cahyo and muhammad farel,

just a year younger, both killed in the stadium. they've now been buried side by side. this is their older sister: translation: they love soccer, but the had translation: they love soccer, but they had never— translation: they love soccer, but they had never watched _ translation: they love soccer, but they had never watched a _ translation: they love soccer, but they had never watched a match - translation: they love soccer, but they had never watched a match live| they had never watched a match live before. they went together. the stampede happened in malang, on the island ofjava, where arema fc was playing bitter rivals persebaya surabaya. indonesia's chief security minister says the 38,000 seater stadium was filled beyond capacity, with 42—thousand tickets sold. here he is speaking earlier about the investigation now launched into the tragedy. translation: the independent fact-finding _ translation: the independent fact-finding team _ translation: the independent fact-finding team will _ translation: the independent fact-finding team will come - translation: the independentl fact-finding team will come from fact—finding team will come from professional sports sagging agents, observers, academic and media. the names will be announced as soon as possible and the investigation will aim to be completed in the next two

to three weeks. this was the scene outside the kanjuruhan stadium earlier today, as emotional members of the arema home team mourned those killed and laid flowers at a makeshift memorial. arema's head coach says some fans "died in the arms" of players and the tragedy has left him "mentally shattered": translation: we came here as a team to ask for forgiveness _ and the families affected by this tragedy who have lost loved ones or whose family members are still being treated in hospital. we just hope this incident will be the starting point for a new era of indonesian and globalfootball. let's stop all of this. the result of a match is not worth paying for with people's lines, especially more than 100 of them. this is unacceptable and beyond all reason. simon mcmenemy is the former manager of the indonesian national football team. he told us why pitch invasions are commonplace in the country. football is by far

the number one sport here. people are incredibly passionate about their football and sadly i've experienced it quite a few times in my time here, that passion over spills, you can start to cause dangerous situations and pitch invasions sadly do happen. normally they are met with police that put them back in the stands and everything goes away and tempers calm down. but sadly, that wasn't the case the other night. david lipson is a journalist and former indonesia correspondent for abc news australia. he previously made a documentary investigating the country's football culture: we've seen a long history of fan violence against players, against officials, against police and against each other, but the firing of tear gas into the crowd is clearly what really triggered the main disaster here. we are also seeing some evidence appearing in videos that are being shared on social media and the like of entrances, or exits, i should say,

to the stadium being locked at the time that the tear gas was fired, which it seems has contributed to this tragedy. this was a vigil attended by hundreds of people in the indonesian capitaljakarta on sunday night, where some protesters carried banners reading "stop police brutality". with me is the bbc world service asia editor rebecca henschke. hello. let's start with this investigation, where are we and what confidence will people have in it? we have already seen the local police chief in malang has been stood down after an internal investigation. nine other officers have also been suspended. this has taken place within the police, but there is also, as we heard earlier, a wider investigation taking place from the indonesian football association and senior members of the government. they say they need

two, three weeks to report back. already there is a sense of scepticism and a sense that will not fully get to bottom �* this. scepticism and a sense that will not fully get to botto the �* this. scepticism and a sense that will not fully get to botto the president scepticism and a sense that will not fully this o botto the president scepticism and a sense that will not fully this o botto said resident this the last football indonesia. saying he makes admission that there have been similar incidents, not on scale but indications that this could happen. so amongst there 5: e--,:,,,,, f" 7 indications that this could happen. so amongst there 4 . : �*f e--,:,“,, f" 7 indications that this could happen. so amongst there get : “ 7777777 77 7 indications that this could happen. so amongst there get; a' 7777777 77 7 indications that this could happen. so amongst there get : a point'7777777 77 7 this, from police the key questions that of the stadium, key questions that are unanswered. part of the stadium, key questions that are unanswered.— are unanswered. part of the anger and frustration _ are unanswered. part of the anger and frustration will _ are unanswered. part of the anger and frustration will be _ are unanswered. part of the anger and frustration will be people - are unanswered. part of the anger| and frustration will be people have been going to football stadiums for a long time and we have had disasters like this, notjust in this country but around the world and key lessons like capacity, like having too many people in the same place, like not having proper exits

seem, from the outside pretty basic? that is right. we heard from the management of the stadium today, journalists were grilling him whether the gates all open or not. he dodged the question but said it would be investigated. the key thing also is how the police handled people coming onto the pitch. fifa says tear gas should never be used. indonesia's football association also says tear gas should not be used. but what we saw there and what we heard from eyewitnesses was an almost indiscriminate firing from tear gas to response of people coming onto the pitch. that is what led to people panicking because their eyes were burning, children were crying and people were fainting. people felt this desperate need to get out of the stadium and going into narrow areas and finding gates locked. going into narrow areas and finding gates locked-— gates locked. briefly, have you got an sense gates locked. briefly, have you got any sense of— gates locked. briefly, have you got any sense of a _ gates locked. briefly, have you got any sense of a timeline, _ gates locked. briefly, have you got any sense of a timeline, you - any sense of a timeline, you mentioned the various different investigations, any sense where we

this is the man in the headlines now and seemingly also in charge. coup leader and self—proclaimed president of burkina faso captain ibrahim traore. he's met with representatives of the different ministries and given them his instructions. translation: we need to change - rhythms, we need to speed up things. the entire country faces an emergency so each one at their own level must go faster and abandon all cumbersome and unnecessary red tape. everything is urgent. the ousted military leader of burkina faso has left the country and is now in togo. lieutenant colonel damiba, who himself came to power through a coup, had been leader for eight months. his government had been been accused of failing to deal with the rising violence by islamic extremists. now let's look at the wider geo—politics at play here. russia and france battling for influence in several former french colonies in west and central africa. at the weekend there were attacks on french institutions, after it was reported that

lieutenant colonel damiba was sheltering at a french military base in the capital. the french foreign ministry said he wasn't there and claimed they're being "manipulated by a disinformation campaign". there are indications that the new coup leaders would like to work with new security parters — russian mercenaries. they're already active in neighbouring mali fighting with the military there against the islamist insurgency that has spread into burkina faso. this is ougadougou on sunday where you can see people greeting the newjunta leaders and their convoy are waving russian flags and they chanted pro—russian slogans. the head of the russian mercenary wagner group, has also welcomed the takeover in burkina faso. joining me now from abidjan in ivory coast is bbc�*s lalla sy(os dtl thank you for talking us through these extraordinary events. can you

war with ukraine, there is a possibility the uk could enter a "gas supply emergency". this would lead to supplies being cut to power stations which use gas to generate the country's electricity. here's our business correspondent, caroline davies we know it is notjust ofgem that are concerned about the russia impact on energy supplies, we know the national grid are putting out a winter outlook late this week, and that will be more detail, with more different outcomes than we have seen from them before. we also know that in the summer, the government were coming up with their own plans for worst case scenarios, where there could be shortages or blackouts. how difficult is it going to be, how likely are these scenarios going to be? it is difficult for analysts to be able to say. the governemtn and ofgem have been saying the uk is in a strong position with its energy supplies, but there are some variables that are outside of people's control — whether or not there is a cold winter here, a cold winter in mainland europe, what russia decides to do, whether there is severe weather that could cut off energy supplies,

these are the sorts of things the government has been trying to model to make sure we are safe for, but ultimately they are preparing for all scenarios. stay with us on outside source — still to come... residents are airlifted to safety from some of florida's worst—affected areas, as the extent of the devastation following hurricane ian becomes clear. a man has appeared in court charged with the murder of olivia pratt—korbel. the nine—year—old was killed when a gunman chased another person into her house in liverpool back in august. her mother was injured. thomas cashman, who is 3a, has also been charged with two counts of attempted murder. our north of england correspondent danny savage has the latest. this is the man accused of murdering olivia pratt—korbel. 34—year—old thomas cashman is the alleged gunman who police believe shot the schoolgirl

in her own home. earlier this morning on the waterfront in liverpool city centre he and another man were brought to court. they both appeared before a magistrate. as well as the murder of olivia, thomas cashman, from west derby in liverpool, is accused of the attempted murder of olivia's mother cheryl korbel and joseph nee. the man being chased at the time of the shooting. the second man, paul russell, is charged with assisting an offender, the ito—year—old is alleged to have driven thomas cashman to an address and disposed of his clothing. he was remanded in custody. both spoke only to confirm their name and address. nine—year—old olivia was killed after a commotion outside her house late at night, on the 22nd august. her mother opened the front door as a gunman fired at another man he was chasing. olivia was hit in the chest and died.

this afternoon thomas cashman appeared here again, this time in front of a crown courtjudge. after a short hearing, which lasted just 13 minutes, he was remanded in custody. olivia's mother was among those in the public gallery, listening to proceedings. she and olivia's father stared intently at thomas cashman. he will go on trial in march next year. danny savage, bbc news, liverpool. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is: the uk chancellor kwasi kwarteng has bowed to pressure and scrapped the cut in the top rate of income tax, just ten days after announcing it. lets turn to the us. hundreds of thousands of homes

and businesses remain without power in florida and the carolinas, as the states reel from the impact of hurricane ian. more than 80 storm—related deaths have been confirmed since the storm first crossed the us coast on wednesday as a category four hurricane. these are the latest pictures we have from one of the worst affected areas in florida —, helicopter crews are airlifting people to safety from two islands near fort myers. the islands are home to 6,000 people and were cut off when a section of a highway connecting the islands to the mainland was destroyed. we really don't have a true scope of how major this could actually be. remember the access to these barrier islands remains limited so we are just now seeing a number, throughout the morning we have been seeing dozens and dozens of rescue vehicles, search and rescue teams that have

started to go into the barrier island of fort myers beach. we are just across from the bridge and as you can see, this is a boat that is just littered with debris and actual structures, you see actual homes and businesses that have just been washed away this as officials have mentioned has been a huge water event that wind damage doesn't compare to the amount of water damage they had here and another thing they are currently assessing, looking at, is if you will recall, the path of the storm initially wasn't that it was going to hit fort myers, it was going to hit the panhandle of florida or even the tampa area, that's about 100 miles away but there was that last—minute switch in the forecast

and there is some concern that people had enough time to get out after the storm made that last—minute switch. and let me take you live to puerto rico where president biden the king and queen consort have attended their firstjoint public engagement since the end of the period of royal mourning. the couple visited dunfermline in fife, where king charles gave a speech to mark its new status as scotland's eighth city. our royal correspondent, daniella relph, was there. bagpipes play dunfermline welcomed a new monarch, and they looked pleased to see him. it was malcolm iii who first created this royal seat of power, almost 1000 years ago. today it was charles iii who met the crowds and granted burnish the legacy of our past,

but will also brighten the prospect of their future. that would, i know, gladden my dear mother's heart, as it certainly gladdens mine. marking the 950th anniversary of dunfermline abbey is relatively safe territory, but in these early days of the king's reign there has already been a noticeable shift. in line with government guidance, he will be attending the cop climate conference in egypt next month. the freedoms of being prince of wales replaced by the constraints of being king. in edinburgh, the focus moved to the palace of holyroodhouse, and a reception to celebrate the british south asian community. the event here fits firmly into the king's thinking as he begins his reign. he has already pledged to use his time as monarch to protect the diversity of the uk.

in holyrood's great gallery there was a clamour to get up close to the king and queen consort. some were even able to sneak in the odd selfie. amongst the guests, representatives of the nhs, the armed forces and the arts, including the music producer naughty boy, who started his career with a grant from the prince's trust, now here to meet the king as an ambassador for his community. i'm a muslim pakistani, british—born, you know, and that gives me so much hope for the future. and british—asian trust as well, with everything they're doing in pakistan, india, bangladesh, you know, issues that are sometimes marginalised in the news but our king cares about them. balancing those issues he cares about with his responsibilities as head of state, the challenge the king now faces as his schedule of official engagements begins. daniella ralph, bbc news, edinburgh.

and that is it, this is outside saw on bbc news. goodbye. it has been a mainly dry day in wales and england. for northern ireland and scotland it has been raining and there is more on the way. it will be very wet across western scotland late in the night and first thing in the morning. an area of low pressure to the north—west of us, whether front moving in and it will take outbreaks of rain at the south, so for example is wales will have a wetter day. it is wales will have a wetter day. it is after midnight we will see the heaviest rain moving back into northern ireland and through into western scotland. quite windy as well and by morning we could see around 30 to 50 millimetres around the wettest parts of western scotland. that could bring disruption to travel first thing in the morning, certainly some difficult conditions on the roads.

mild night, 15 degrees in belfast. ahead of that, wales and england staying mainly dry but as the rain clears away from northern ireland and scotland we will see some of that into northern england and developing in large part of wales eventually reaching the midlands and some into south—west england, quite later on in the afternoon. east anglia and the south—east are mainly dry day with hazy brightness. for scotland and northern ireland it will gradually turn bright, is a blustery and a few showers in north—west scotland. mild where you stay dry in the south—east. the area of rainfall getting stuck and then dissipating before we see another swathe of wet weather heading in as we go through tuesday night and into wednesday morning. looking wet across parts of scotland as wednesday begins. from an area of low pressure, some uncertainty about the development and how strong it's going to be as it sweeps across a wednesday and pushes up toward scandinavia. in terms of rainfall, we have noticed how wet it is across parts of scotland, north—west england as well to begin with. this

area with squally downpours and gusty winds and moving further south is during the day. we had it brightening up with a scattering of thundery showers on blustery winds. these are the average wind speeds, what you will notice at the moment if you're looking online. there is the potential for something significantly stronger in terms of gusts and across northern areas, may 70 to 80 miles an hour on wednesday. more likely they will not be that strong but we'll have to keep you updated. there is a potentialfor disruptive winds during wednesday. for the rest of the week it will be blustery out there. showers around and most frequent in the north and west.

this is bbc news. the headlines at 8pm. the chancellor says he's had a "tough day" as he addresses the conservative party conference — just hours after abandoning plans to cut the top rate of tax for the highest earners. i know the plan footboard only ten days ago has caused a little turbulence. i get it, i get it. we're listening and have listened. and now i want to focus on delivering the major parts of our growth package. elsewhere, kwasi kwarteng said he would publish his �*medium—term fiscal plan' soon, and promised a full forecast from the office for budget responsibility. elsewhere, the energy regulator warns the uk faces a "significant risk" of gas shortages this winter.

it could impact energy supplies from gas—fired power stations.
