in herjob, with reports that some of her own conservative mps are privately suggesting she should resign. our political editor, chris mason reports. turning up for another u—turn, the prime minister invited reporters to downing street this afternoon and scrapped one of her key policies that she's championed for months. it is clear that parts of our mini budget went further and faster than markets were expecting, so the way we are delivering our mission right now has to change. i have therefore decided to keep the increase in corporation tax that was planned by the previous government. this will raise £18 billion per year. so, a tax policy ditched, and her chancellor, too. it never rains, but it pours. this was the now former chancellor kwasi kwarteng making an early dash home from a meeting

of finance ministers in washington last night. a long—haul flight, followed by the sack is how his friday went. should the prime minister go next, mr kwarteng? hello, good afternoon. congratulations, mr chancellor. so nice to see you. jeremy hunt is a former health secretary and foreign now, he is the fourth chancellor of the exchequer perhaps it's little wonder the conservatives�* political rivals are sounding like this. another change in who is running the treasury, another tory chancellor isn't the answer to the challenges that we face as a country. the tories are out of ideas, they're out of time, it's time for a labor government. this is beyond a joke — it was never funny, but liz truss has already, through her own decisions, crashed the economy and heaped misery on people who were already struggling with the cost of living crisis. so many questions for the prime minister, but she only asked four of us to ask one.

chris mason. excuse the bluntness, prime minister, but given everything that has happened, what credibility do you have to continue governing? what i have done today is made sure that we have economic stability in this country. jeremy hunt as chancellor is somebody who shares my desire for a high—growth, low—tax economy. the questions from others were in a similar vein, and brutal. he has to go because of the fall—out from it, how come you get to stay? clearly, a difficult day — can you explain to the public why you think you should remain as prime minister? will you apologise to your party? - her answers were similar to the one i got, and then, that was it. thank you very much, everybody. and since that news conference this afternoon, let me share with you some of the reaction, in private from conservative mps.

"it was awful," says one. "i voted for liz. sadly, i think it hastens her demise," says another. "i can't see how she survives," and, "she has trashed our reputation." the prime minister may have a new chancellor this evening, but she, he, confront many of the same problems, and herjob is still farfrom secure. chris mason, bbc news, at westminster. over 1,000 venezuelan migrants have set out from southern mexico towards the us border. that's after an announcement by washington earlier this week that they would be sent back. the united states and mexico agreed that venezuelans who try to cross overland would be returned, a decision migrant advocates described as unhumanitarian. here's our correspondent in mexico city, will grant. what is happening here is partly the fact that these migrants have been to hell

and back to get to the point that those protests took place, ie, southern mexico. they have already traversed the derian gap which separates columbia from panama. thick, very very treacherous jungle. pregnant women, people with their children in their arms and so on, so they have very, very little intention of turning back at this stage despite the policy change taking place in washington. and in fact, those who were already in the united states and who've been deported since the policy announcement changed are also gathering along the border, refusing to go anywhere for the time being and talking about ways of getting back in. so, will, venezuelans on both sides of mexico angry at the united states, is this likely to change washington's policy towards them? not at this stage. i think what's clear is that are a variety of things at play here. one of course is the mid—term

elections that are not too far away. certainly the biden administration with a close eye on demographics in the united dates and domestic political policy, the idea of formalising ways for venezuelans to come in but throwing out anybody who doesn't have the right paperwork, they hope will play well. but also at play is relations with caracas. we've seen efforts by the united states in recent weeks, particularly after the russian invasion of ukraine, and the energy crisis that that has created, to sort of re—establish, to create a better relationship. we saw, for example, members of nicolas maduro, the president there, his family were arrested in the united states, serving a sentence on drug charges and they have been sent back to venezuela in exchange for americans in prison there, so all of these things, i think, are efforts to try to normalise things in the middle of a global

energy crisis too. at least 25 people have been killed after at least 25 people have been killed after a at least 25 people have been killed after a coal at least 25 people have been killed after a coal mine explosion, emergency services have been working through the night trying to reach people stuck 300 metres under the surface. initial reports suggest that the explosion may have been caused by a buildup of flammable gas. malnutrition, gang violence, cholera, spiralling inflation, the situation in haiti is worsening by the day. according to the un almost two million people are experiencing acute food shortages and thousands of residents in an area of the capital, port—au—prince, could face starvation in the coming days. mathias pierre is the haiti former minister in charge of the elections, he joins us now from washington. thank you very much for being with us, i understand you are

returning to port—au—prince tomorrow, this is very grim news from your home country, what is causing this? i news from your home country, what is causing this?— what is causing this? i think we can describe _ what is causing this? i think we can describe the - what is causing this? i thinkl we can describe the situation going on in haiti as total turmoil and as the local leaders refuse to sit together in a dialogue to find a path for a solution. i believe that everybody is looking at the international community, the government has called for an international intervention but we have seen that in the past 30 years with different missions from the united states, the un and everywhere and that never addresses the issue. i think we believe today that the international community should serve a dialogue between the different members, not a military intervention to actually tackle the specific issue and the way the specific issue and the way the long—term problem remains in the country as is. you

mentioned _ in the country as is. you mentioned the - in the country as is. you mentioned the prime i in the country as is. you mentioned the prime minister has called for international help but the government in the country could be doing more itself, couldn't it? i country could be doing more itself, couldn't it?— itself, couldn't it? i think, as a set — itself, couldn't it? i think, as a set and _ itself, couldn't it? i think, as a set and stated - itself, couldn't it? ithink, l as a set and stated multiple times, the government needs to negotiate, first with the us government. because remember. if we don't have a powerful armed forces, legal armed forces in the country, well equipped, we will not be able to fight the gangs. and this is the situation. 0ne, we have a lot of guns coming from the united states through illegal means. we need to negotiate with the us government and start some elements to help us address this issue to reduce the ammunition coming from the united states. second, there is an embargo on legal purchase of weapons and ammunition for the police and because the us doesn't want haiti to have an

army. so we need to negotiate so we could get ammunition and weapons, legally, from countries so that we could equip our police. and i believe also the government on its side needs to negotiate what a call a security state of emergency to allocate resources of the police force with 13,000 people to be able to be well equipped, organised, have intelligence, to address the gang issue. the problem has to be solved locally, any international intervention or any international force will be coming just to try to tackle a specific issue but don't forget that the gangs, they are shielded in this population. how are you going to address that? yeah, they might be in a position when you have an international force they back off, but they are going to be

inside of the population. how are you going to address that? this is a long—term issue. it is all around the country and it has to be addressed in a dialogue with tensions to sit together to solve the problem and i don't believe an international intervention is the right solution for the long—term stability and economic development of haiti. i take your point about bringing weapons into the country and resourcing the security forces but you say this is a long—term plan, but there is also the short term immediate need, food. there's the threat of cholera, there is sexual violence against women and girls. how is the government going to tackle those priorities?— those priorities? those problems _ those priorities? those problems has - those priorities? those problems has been - those priorities? those i problems has been there, those priorities? those - problems has been there, i think a little accentuated with some of the blockage but don't forget, the protests around the gas increase, that has been jacked up by the government more than 100%, it is a whole

population. it is not one problem in a specific area, it is a whole population protesting. if you look at the streets of haiti, we see a lot of people protesting against gas prices, protesting against the economic situation. the gang issue is one issue but not the whole issue. we need to address the problem of haiti and i think it is up to the haitian leaders, and the government needs to call up, and it might be too late because it has been 1a months since the assassination of the president that the actual government was supposed to get into that process to get the country into a legitimate line of power by the elections. that didn't happen but it is never too late. how to get the economic sector, the soviet society and the politics to sit together for a long—term political settlement, i think that should be the emergency

for the country now. mil that should be the emergency for the country now.— for the country now. all right, thank you _ for the country now. all right, thank you very _ for the country now. all right, thank you very much - for the country now. all right, thank you very much for - for the country now. all right, thank you very much for your| thank you very much for your time. appreciate it. stay with us on bbc world news. still to come: the festival of the nomadic herders designed to create a cohesion of tribes. parts of san francisco least affected by the earthquake are returning to life, but in the marina area where most of the damage was done, they're more conscious than ever of how much has been destroyed. in the 19 years since he was last here, he has gone from being a little—known revolutionary to an experienced and successful diplomatic operator. it was a 20—pound bomb exploded on the fifth floor of the grand hotel, - rapping a hole — in the front of the building. this government will not weaken! democracy will prevail! it fills me with humility and gratitude to know i have been chosen as the recipient of this foremost of earthly honours. this catholic nation

reportedly killed by the security forces two weeks ago. it has been a month since the death of a 22—year—old woman in police because it is but the demonstrations. our chief correspondent has this report. cheering and chanting a defiance that's dangerous. brandishing headscarves — burning them can get you arrested. hundreds have been detained. cheering and applause this may seem so ordinary, but even walking without compulsory hijab can have consequences. dounir raad, in a white shirt, eating breakfast, went to prison after she posted this photo. across iran over the past month, there have been unprecedented scenes like this. shouting and cheering and this, too — schoolgirls ripping photos of iran's leaders. this defiance spread across society, across generations,

on wider issues. and security forces have shot back with tear gas, metal pellets, live fire. one protester who, like most, hides her identity, told us it's no longer just about hijab. they don't want islamic republic with all the violence it's giving. things that they have done politically to us, economically to us, and what they are showing as the face of iranians to the world, and this is what we do not want. power resides here in the islamic republic. the supreme leader, 83—year—old ayatollah khamenei, has said little, but he's blaming the west. translation: these recent matters are not home—grown and spontaneous. it's possible that the enemy used some pretext to pursue their agenda using provocative propaganda. those who back the government deny the islamic republic is at risk, or even rattled. there are very few protests,

the country is quiet. we see them every day, professor marandi. that's factually incorrect. the united states and its allies try to undermine iran in every possible way. iran is more open than any of the countries in this region. what we see says these protests aren't dying down, and the government isn't backing down. mahsa amini! in london, a vigil to mark a month of defiance, to remember 22—year—old mahsa amini. her death sparked this movement. say her name, say her name! protests like this have been happening in cities across the world over the past month. what's happening now in iran, what happens next, matters in many places. but the course of events inside iran will be decided there. chanting a young generation rises

against an old clerical order. it's hard to say how and when this will end. for now, it's moving in ways iran hasn't seen before. chanting lyse doucet, bbc news. four astronauts have returned to earth after spending six months on international space station. crew that included three americans and one italian splashed down off the coast of florida. they travelled back to earth in the spacex capital. it is founded by elon musk and has flown to the international space station of vanessa. let us with a festival on the edge of the sahara desert. —— visit. every year, thousands of nomadic herders meet at the end of the rainy season, for the cure salee, a two—day festival held in the agadez region in niger. during the event, fulani, tuareg and arab nomads come together to celebrate their respective cultures.

of fine weather. now, once you clear through the heavy and thundery downpours, further scattered showers arrive into the afternoon, particularly across the north and west of the uk. getting windier — gales through the irish sea and adjacent coasts. a cold—feeling day in scotland when you get the showers and the wind — maybe some snow to the highest ground out of these. as we go on into saturday night, you can see all these showers becoming mainly confined to northern areas where it stays quite windy. it does mean a milder night going into sunday morning in scotland. it does mean a touch colder the further south you are, where you become mainly dry with clear spells. so, on sunday then, still blustery and showery, especially in scotland first thing, but here's the gap many of us find ourselves in during sunday with a lot of fine weather to come. here's the next weather system moving in, though — some uncertainty about timing, but towards southern england, parts of wales, especially northern ireland going on through sunday evening, it will be turning wetter by then. and after a brief lull in the wind, the winds will pick up again as this system moves in. so, here it is — it sweeps its wet weather

north and east overnight and into monday morning and, still on monday, early rain clearing away from the far south—east, but further heavy downpours to come in scotland, especially the north and west. showers for northern ireland, northern england, perhaps north wales too. northern areas staying windiest on monday, whereas for much of england and wales and especially the further south you are, it is looking like another spell of fine weather after some overnight rain. then after that, well, a largely fine tuesday then, then another weather system coming in towards the south—west later in the week, with a lot of uncertainty about how quickly it will move any wetter weather northwards.

this is bbc news, our latest headlines: britain's prime minister has abandoned another key tax—cutting proposal. liz truss says a rise in corporation tax will now go ahead. the decision has failed to immediately reassure financial markets. the pound sterling dropped against the dollar, and interest rates on long—term uk government bonds have risen again. it follows her earlier decision to sack her chancellor, kwasi kwarteng. he was recalled from washington to be replaced by the more centristjeremy hunt, britain's fourth finance minister in a year. the labor party said the government was "in meltdown" and it was time for a general election. iran's supreme leader has said no one should dare think they can overturn the islamic republic, as anti—government protests enter a fifth week.
