hello, i'm karin giannone, this is outside source. big decisions for britain's new prime minister, on his first full day in office. rishi sunak delays the mini—budget, reinstates a ban on fracking, and is forced to defend his choice of suella braverman as home secretary, less than a week after she resigned over a serious data breach. the home secretary made an error ofjudgment, but she recognised that, she raised the matter and she accepted her mistake. he's so weak, he's done a grubby deal, trading national security, because he was scared to lose another leadership election. also coming up on outside source...

reports from iran say at least 13 people have died in a terror attack on a religious site, on the day that thousands of people have been marking the death of the hijab protestor mahsa amini. and russia claims up to 70,000 people have left the occupied city of kherson amid rumours there could be a large and bloodied battle looming. we start again here in the uk — where rishi sunak has had his first full day in office as prime minister. and already, he's been forced to defend his appointment of suella braverman to home secretary — one of the top jobs in his cabinet. she was forced to step down last week over a breach of the ministerial code. the issue came up in rishi sunak�*s first prime minister's questions. the home secretary made an error ofjudgment — but she recognised that, she raised of the matter, and she accepted her mistake. and that's why i was delighted to welcome her back into a united cabinet that brings experience

and stability to the heart of government. and let me tell you, mr speaker, what the home secretary will be focused on — shall be focused on cracking down on criminals and defending our borders. while the party opposite remains soft on crime and in favour of unlimited immigration. mr speaker, mr speaker — yesterday, the prime minister stood on the steps of downing street and promised integrity, professionalism, and accountability. but then, with his first act, he appointed a home secretary who was sacked by his predecessor a week ago for deliberately pinging around sensitive home office documents from her personal account. in her resignation letter last week, suella braverman admitted committing a "technical infringement" of the rules by sending an official document to someone not

authorised to receive it. but questions remain about how the error was made,

redemption, i hope the right honourable lady camp as well, and she is busy today as she will be. keeping our border secure, helping the police to do theirjob._ the police to do their “ob. others have also been h the police to do theirjob. others have also been defending - the police to do theirjob. others have also been defending her, i the police to do theirjob. others| have also been defending her, his foreign secretary james cleverly. the home secretary has said she made a mistake, she apologised for that, but she is also absolutely determined and focused to crack down on crime and to secure our borders and make sure that the home office is a very, very high functioning delivery department. to is a very, very high functioning delivery department. to analyse the prime minister's _ delivery department. to analyse the prime minister's reasoning - delivery department. to analyse the prime minister's reasoning around l prime minister's reasoning around the appointment, here is our political correspondentjonathan blake. he political correspondent jonathan blake. ,. . ,

political correspondent jonathan blake. ,. ., , , . , blake. he is clearly expecting this criticism, ready _ blake. he is clearly expecting this criticism, ready for _ blake. he is clearly expecting this criticism, ready for it _ blake. he is clearly expecting this criticism, ready for it and - blake. he is clearly expecting this criticism, ready for it and willing l criticism, ready for it and willing to absorb it in the opening days, early days of his administration and take the political head to appoint someone who is an influential voice and a key figure on the right of the conservative party, and you have too soon, to keep some of his troops happy. in another big development, the uk's chancellor — or finance minister — has announced that britain's long—term fiscal plan to tackle the cost of living crisis has been delayed by two weeks. it was due to happen on monday, the 31st. but now it'll be delivered on 17 november. here's the chancellor on why. our number one priority is economic stability and restoring confidence that the united kingdom is a country that pays its way. and for that reason, the medium term fiscal plan is extremely important, and i want to confirm that it will demonstrate debt falling over the medium—term, which is very important for people to understand. but it's also extremely important that that statement is based on the most accurate possible

economic forecasts and forecasts of public finances. so 17th november is the new date in the diary. we know the financial markets will be watching. we also now know that the fiscal plan has been upgraded to an autumn statement — second only to a full budget in its importance. jeremy hunt will want to avoid a repeat of the instability on the markets — triggered by the mini—budget of his predeccesor kwasi kwarteng's — which was made up largely of unfunded tax reductions. at one point — last month — the pound sank to an all—time low against the dollar, while some mortgage rates and government borrowing costs rose sharply. to explain more about the effect the delay to the government's economic plan, here's our business correspondent marc ashdown. i can understand people sitting at home, thinking, "here we go again, more uncertainty, more delays" — but i don't think there's any surprise to the markets that rishi sunak wants to kick the tires on all of this.

as they were expecting, it is quite stable — positive too that this has been upgraded from a mini statement to a full autumn statement, so we will get far more detail in theory on how the chancellor plans to bring about economic stability, how he'll get growth up and debt down. also in his words, he's promising to give people security over mortgages, jobs, and the cost of living — in short, promising a clear plan, in his words, that stands the test of time. and we've seen, of course, hasty decisions have a big impact on confidence and credibility. the delay comes as the uk tries to deal with a cost of living crisis. wristy sheet —— rishi sunak has introduced the ban on fracking. liz truss faced a backlash over concerns of earth tremors linked to the practice. these concerns were put to the prime minister in parliament. i've already said i stand by the manifesto on that. but what i would say is that i'm proud that this government has

passed the landmark environment act, putting more protection for the natural environment than we've ever had, with a clear plan to deliver. and i can give the honourable lady my commitment that we will deliver on all those ambitions, we will deliver on what we said at cop, because we care deeply about passing our children an environment in a better state than we found ourselves. so rishi sunak saying that he's committed to the fracking ban set out in his party's 2019 manifesto. liz truss had argued fracking could only take place where there was local consent. she also argued the move would strengthen energy supply. on that point, here's a professor of geology. self—sufficiency is a terrific ambition, and i fully support that. and it's quite clear from the conflicts we're seeing in europe that importing large amounts of energy leaves you in a very vulnerable situation, irrespective of how many suppliers there may be. but of course, we gain resilience and a supply of energy from building lots more renewable energy.

soa so a big first full day in office for rishi sunak. chris mason watched the events today. the enact —— the economic statement we were expecting next week has been pushed back to three weeks tomorrow and so there are those big questions. will pensions rise in line with prices? probably but we await confirmation. we'll all benefits rise in line with prices? again, probably, but not certain. two is many decisions that have to be taken and taken quickly. more unrest at anti—government protests in iran. we're hearing reports that security forces opened fire on demonstrators in the home town of mahsa amini — the young kurdish woman whose death in police custody triggered nationwide protests. it's now been a0 days since she died, and the demonstrations continue.

this was the scene in mahsa's hometown, saqez — a kurdish city in the west. thousands gathered by her grave to mark the official end of the mourning period. mourners shouted "death to the dictator" and "woman, life, freedom". there are reports up to 10,000 people went to her grave. protests continued elsewhere. this is a vigil held at a university in tehran. you can see students start clapping and chanting. there were similar scenes at universities in other cities too. the bbc has been speaking to an iranian woman who has joined protests. we're not naming her for her safety. today is a0 days since mahsa amini died. and in iran, there is a tradition that we have a ceremony for the aoth. today, many people have stopped working in protest, in the memory of mahsa. all cities, universities, and even schools continue to protest — and this is the first time that even students have joined the protests. unfortunately the oppressive

regime attacked schools and arrested students. the regime treats the protesters so cruelly that there are reports of rape, and prisoners who have been taken to hospitals because of this. the medical staff of also protested today and days ago. the me also staff of also the me also protested. . mahsa amini was detained by the morality police in tehran on 13 september for allegedly wearing her hijab "improperly". the 22—year—old fell into a coma and died three days later. her family disputes the police account of her death that she suffered a heart attack. there are reports police beat her around the head with a baton. protests against her death are now in the sixth week. women and schoolgirls have been at the forefront — despite the danger of doing so. these pictures are from the city of shiraz — women marching without a hijab. men here can be heard saying "well done". protests have been met

with a brutal crackdown. one human rights group says at least 140 protesters — including 29 children — have died in the protests. here's the protester again on whether she is afraid. it's not about me, it's about us in the next generation. we want to have a normal life — that's it, nothing more. they have tried their best to scare us all these years, but we have practised courage all these years and prepared for this. currently even people who were silent for years and accepted these conditions have joined the protesters, and now we are more than ever. of course we are afraid, but we are practising courage every day to take back our freedom. we're told riot police and members of a paramilitary unit were deployed in saqqez, in anticipation of unrest on the 40th day of mourning for ms amini — a day that's culturally significant for iranians. these are pictures

from near her grave. other videos showed residents walking along a highway and through a field — apparently to bypass roadblocks — to reach the cemetery. one rights group says security forces fired tear gas at crowds. this is what happened next. protesters blocked roads. in this video, you can see smoke on the roads. local media reports that iran blocked internet access in the town for what officials called "security reasons". here's the bbc'sjiyar gol on what's been happening today. immediate family, friends and neighbours gathered together to celebrate the life of the loved one they lost 40 days ago. but in my mahsa's case, so many people across the country wanted to be there. so the security forces last night tried to talk to his father, and he was unavailable — but we managed to contact a very close member of the family. they said the intelligence service is pushing the father to go on television and say tomorrow, which is today, there is no ceremony so people won't go there.

but despite that, they've cordoned off every road leading to the cemetery. all the roads leading to neighbouring cities and provinces were blocked — but despite this, we saw the footage of people crossing rivers, going through mountains, going through farmers' fields to reach the cemetery, shouting "woman, life, freedom," "death to the dictator," and there was another slogan, "the graveyard of fascists," which are referring to the supreme leader. in another development — iranian state media say 15 people have been killed in what they say was a terror attack on a shrine in the city of shiraz. two attackers are reported to have been arrested. let's hearfrom bbc persian�*s rana rahimpour. we haven't been able to independently verify this yet. state media says that what they call terrorists have attacked a shia shrine in the city of shiraz.

they claim that a sunni armed radicals have been behind the attack. but many protesters don't believe that, they say that if that has happened, the government itself is behind it, and they say that the government is trying to use this as an excuse to put more pressure on the protesters in the country. in the past half an hour, iran's president has said the attack on the shrine won't go unanswered. antigovernment protests have spread far beyond iran, including here in the uk. donya is an iranian british who has been heavily involved in demonstrations in the uk. today we have groups and people all gathered together at trafalgar square. they will be holding a candlelit vigil for mass amine, as well as the many people we've lost in the last a0 days. i myself will

be holding an online vigil or people will send photos of their candles who can't be in person in london today, and we will be creating a collage so everyone in iran can see that people are backing them today so what we've seen some incredible pictures of people making their way in the thousands to where she's buried. , , , . ., . ~ ., in the thousands to where she's buried. , ,, . ., _ buried. despite the crackdown by the authorities. what _ buried. despite the crackdown by the authorities. what are _ buried. despite the crackdown by the authorities. what are you _ buried. despite the crackdown by the authorities. what are you hearing - authorities. what are you hearing today from your family and friends back home?— back home? unfortunately communication _ back home? unfortunately communication has - back home? unfortunately communication has been l back home? unfortunately - communication has been extremely limited, so we're lucky by the videos we see on the social media particularly with the internet band. today the cracked down on the connectivity to lower awareness of the nationwide protest happening today, and a stop and filter these videos getting past. fiser today, and a stop and filter these videos getting past.— today, and a stop and filter these videos getting past. over the last 40 da s, videos getting past. over the last 40 days. how _ videos getting past. over the last 40 days, how have _ videos getting past. over the last 40 days, how have you _ videos getting past. over the last 40 days, how have you kept - videos getting past. over the last 40 days, how have you kept it.

a list of clear demands we like our mps to address, and we want to call to non—iranians globally to assist us in this movement. because one person who re—shares a video is the voice of an iranian who is either too scared to speak out unfortunately, or the voice of an iranian who been muffled for a3 years, and particularly these last a0 days. years, and particularly these last 40 da s. �* , , , 40 days. briefly, where you see this headin: ? 40 days. briefly, where you see this heading? how _ 40 days. briefly, where you see this heading? how would _ 40 days. briefly, where you see this heading? how would you _ 40 days. briefly, where you see this heading? how would you define - 40 days. briefly, where you see this i heading? how would you define what's happening in iran and do you see this is a significant moment of change, orat this is a significant moment of change, or at least imminent change? this is a revolution. and i really, really hope that uk media and other media outlets start calling it as such because this is the need and the wants of the people. they don't want reform any more, we believe the uk media is actually assisting this rhetoric that iranians want reform.

they want political change, and this is decade—long of anger and repression coming to the fore. west our colleagues at bbc persian what they think about this and they say they are currently defining as being in the protest stage, and they tell us that the iranian army and revolutionary guard are still loyal to the government, but they are assessing the language used all the time. in ukraine, there are warnings that a large and bloody battle could be looming between ukrainian and russian forces, as they fight for control of the southern ukrainian city of kherson. the city is located on the dnipro river in the country's south, and has been occupied for many months. ukraine says russia has been strengthening its military force there. we've also seen civilians evactuations like this from kherson

and the surrounding region in recent days, it's said tens of thousands of people have left as ukrainian troops advance through the region. here's our correspondent hugo bachega. the ukrainian forces are advancing along the dnipro river, and the main target here is the city of kherson, which is one of the largest of ukrainian cities in the russian occupation, and the capital of one of the four regions that president putin claims to have annexed. and last night, an adviser to president zelensky said there were no signs that russian troops were preparing to leave the city — in fact, he said, russian troops were preparing the streets for defence and sending in more troops. but while ukraine advances in kherson, this happened today in russia's far—east. the kremlin says ballistic and cruise missiles were fired on land, sea and in the air — part of annual exercises of russia's strategic nuclear forces. here's the russian president

watching the exercises. according to the kremlin, all missiles reached their targets. the launches took place as russia makes unsubstantiated claims that ukraine is plotting to use a "dirty bomb" — that's an explosive device mixed with radioactive material. the russian allegations have been widely rejected by western countries as false. ukraine's defence minister says a risk of large—scale russian nuclear attacks are low. my personal opinion — _ he will not use nuclear weapons. they did a lot of stupid things, - but they continue to be pragmatic. justin crump is the ceo of sybelline an intelligence consultancy, and a royal armoured corps veteran. good to have you with us, thanks for talking to us. first of all, kherson, what do you say is going on there? what can we make out about

what's going on in the ground? that ci itself what's going on in the ground? that city itself is — what's going on in the ground? that city itself is very _ what's going on in the ground? twat city itself is very hard for russia to defend, we know it's on the wrong bank of the river for them, it's a symbol of their intent to push towards odesa — that was stalled much earlier in the conflict, and ukraine taking that ground there is very hard for russia to maintain. we know bridges have been targeted repeatedly by longer—range ukrainian missiles, crossings at the dam, which is very important in the area as well are targeted. and that's left russians somewhat struggling to hold their line, so they've fallen back already. but as we just heard, they are trying to build up in the city itself and it's almost unthinkable politically for them to give up the city without a fight, and their intent now is to make ukrainians plead as much as possible if they want to recapture it. those scenes of mariupol are fresh in our minds, but the ukrainians are taking it block by block to retake the

city. they'll try to do it in a much smarter way by displacing the russians, but i think that's the current shape of events and why people are so focused on it. truths; current shape of events and why people are so focused on it. why do ou think people are so focused on it. why do you think we _ people are so focused on it. why do you think we are _ people are so focused on it. why do you think we are hearing _ people are so focused on it. why do you think we are hearing these - you think we are hearing these persistent allegations from russia that ukraine is planning to use some kind of dirty bomb? tn that ukraine is planning to use some kind of dirty bomb?— kind of dirty bomb? in the south, their intent _ kind of dirty bomb? in the south, their intent is _ kind of dirty bomb? in the south, their intent is to _ kind of dirty bomb? in the south, their intent is to hold _ kind of dirty bomb? in the south, their intent is to hold onto - kind of dirty bomb? in the south, their intent is to hold onto their. their intent is to hold onto their illegally seized territories in ukraine while they mobilise and try to bring up the troop numbers to sustain the conflict —— mobilise reservists. the big thing is to shut down western support for ukraine, and one of the ways they are doing thatis and one of the ways they are doing that is by scaring us with nuclear rhetoric, with accusations about things that lead us to the point where it ukraine in their eyes will be the aggressor about nuclear warfare. that's clearly unthinkable. a radiological device is not a weapon of mass destruction, but mass irritation. it's a harassment weapon, not a nuclear weapon at all, but it allows russia to say this is

becoming a nuclear battlefield and ukraine started it. it's similar to the threat we heard at the zaporizhzhia power plant earlier. it's all about scaring us and ramping up, putting pressure on western backers of ukraine and trying to make us bring them to the table. �* , trying to make us bring them to the table. . , , table. autumn is here, winter is cominu , table. autumn is here, winter is coming. how— table. autumn is here, winter is coming, how much _ table. autumn is here, winter is coming, how much more - table. autumn is here, winter is| coming, how much more difficult table. autumn is here, winter is - coming, how much more difficult will that make things? how do you assess the overall balance of how things are going? ht the overall balance of how things are uuoin? .,, the overall balance of how things are uuoin? , ., are going? it has slowed the ukrainians _ are going? it has slowed the ukrainians down, _ are going? it has slowed the ukrainians down, that's - are going? it has slowed the - ukrainians down, that's evidence. it's turning it into a slog, and you can only imagine how hard it is fighting in the winter. it's cold, much harder to keep people fed and supplied, and now it offers opportunities when the land freezes to manoeuvre more than in the mud, but we shouldn't underestimate that challenge. and russia hopes effectively to lock us down over that period. effectively to lock us down over that period-— that period. justin, we really appreciate — that period. justin, we really appreciate your _ that period. justin, we really appreciate your analysis, - that period. justin, we really - appreciate your analysis, thanks for joining us an outside source. we will be coming back in a few minutes' time with plenty more. in the meantime, there is so much more, all her stories on the bbc news

website and via the bbc app. follow me on twitter. so mild out there and it will turn warm or even over the next day or so. wouldn't be surprised if temperatures temperatures exceed 20 celsius in the southeast. you can see a lot of clear weather to the east and areas. a very mild morning on thursday, 1a in london, around nine celsius there in the lowlands of scotland. through the morning it'll be overcast with outbreaks of rain moving northwards. the sun should break through the clouds across large parts of the country, and if it does come out for any lengthy period of time across east

anglia in the southeast, temperatures could reach 21—22 c. it does look as though friday will be every bit as mild across many southern areas. further north, mid to high teens, and still remaining mild as we head into the weekend with the rain at times.

rishi sunak teaches more of his predecessor but matt plans on his first full day as prime minister. he delays the many budget, reinstates a ban on fracking, and is forced to defend his choice of suella ban on fracking, and is forced to defend his asiice of suella ban on fracking, and is forced to defend his as iice�* she jella ban on fracking, and is forced to defend his asiice�* she resigned than a week after she resigned over a serious data breach. she than a week after she resigned over a serious data breach.— a serious data breach. she made an error ofjudgment, _ a serious data breach. she made an error ofjudgment, she _ a serious data breach. she made an error ofjudgment, she recognised i error of judgment, she recognised that, error ofjudgment, she recognised that, she accepted her mistake. he is so weak he has done a grubby deal trading _ is so weak he has done a grubby deal trading national security because he was scared — trading national security because he was scared to lose another leadership election.

an _ leadership election. an alarming warning on climate change from the united nations as it says we are nearing the point of no return. we will speak to their former top climate official. and after this protest over treatment of gay rights over the world cup in qatar, one british government minister suggested they should be prepared to compromise if they choose to attend. countries are failing to live up to their commitments to fight climate change. that's the key takeaway from a new un report released today. its secretary—general antonio guterres has this warning. if we are not able to reverse the present trend that is leading to catastrophe in the world, we will be doomed. and so this must be for all of us an absolute priority. let's get some context. this is what countries

had pledged to deliver. in 2015, nearly 200 countries came together for the paris agreement — a landmark, legally binding international treaty on climate change. this included a pledge to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5 celsius above pre—industrial levels. to achieve this, countries said they'd set up targets to cut greenhouse gas emissions. that was then reaffirmed last year at the cop26 summit in scotland, where all countries agreed to revisit and strengthen their climate action plans. but even then, there was caution. this was cop 26 president alok sharma at the end of that summit. we can say with credibility that we have kept 1.5 degrees within reach, but its pulse is weak. so those were the promises. the actions tell a different story. according to the un report,

just 26 of the 193 countries that agreed to more ambitious climate actions have followed through with those plans. based on current pledges, the planet is also on track to warm by an average 2.5 celsius by the end of the century — dwarfing the 1.5 degree target. there were some more positive developments. the report says emissions will increase by 10.6% by 2030. last year that figure had been 13.7%. so — a reduction. but emissions aren't on the rapid decline that experts say is desperately needed. antonio guterres says time is running out. we have very few years. i would say we have two or three years to change course. if we want to keep the 1.5 alive, we must absolutely start reducing emissions now, and then the question of accountability is essential. and there's a lot at stake. let's take a look at some of what we've already witnessed just this year. in march, floods in eastern parts

of australia killed 22 people and inundated thousands of homes. a heatwave swept across europe in the summer, triggering a wave of wildfires that tore across areas of france, spain, the uk and more. in pakistan, more than 1500 people were killed and millions left homeless after devastating floods inundated large parts of the country. and in the horn of africa, countries like somalia and ethiopia continue to face drought after four years of failed rains. and this is one farmer in kenya. translation: we are suffering, we rely on livestock but you can see how that cows are dying and some are unable to stay on their feet. we are unable to stay on their feet. we are unable to stay on their feet. we are unable to take care of our children. another report released in the lancet medicaljournal highlights how climate change is already severely affecting human health across the globe. here's one of the report authors explaining how. we know that deaths can arise from floods, for example,

from heatwave events, but there is also sickness and morbidity, as we would say, from other sources. so, mental health impacts, for example, we are getting a much better handle on that there are mental impacts arising from climate change. the consensus from experts seems clear that what is needed is cooperation and action and countries will have a chance to do that next week when the cop27 climate summit gets away and in egypt. climate change is the crisis of our lifetime. it is the defining issue of today's world. so, when a change remains a central priority in everything we do. and climate change must be a central priority for all governments, all companies, all cities, the civil society, everywhere. christiana figueres served as executive secretary on the un's framework convention on climate change from july 2010 to 2016. she's now the co—host of the outrage and optimism podcast.

shejoins me now from costa rica. welcome to you. thank you for talking to us. some very worrying founding is from the un today, what is your reaction?— is your reaction? sadly, this is no surrise. is your reaction? sadly, this is no surprise. first _ is your reaction? sadly, this is no surprise. first of— is your reaction? sadly, this is no surprise. first of all, _ is your reaction? sadly, this is no surprise. first of all, these - surprise. first of all, these reports, and they wail the many of them, they always come outjust before the cup which is starting a few days in egypt and this is the time of the year when all of these assessment reports come out. now, it is no surprise that we are behind schedule. that is not a surprise. it is tragic but it is not a surprise. the good news that is in these reports is that when we left paris in 2015, the collective effort of all countries would have taken us to 2.7 degrees of warming. today, we know that we are down to 2.5. better but not enough. also, as you have

just mentioned at the beginning of this programme, the projections last year were that we were going to be increasing 13.7% by the end of this decade. today, we know that is down to 10.6. better but not sufficient. so, the conclusion that one riches here is that we are walking or rather crawling in the right direction but we're not doing it fast enough. it is not enough to have marginal and incremental transformation. by now, we should be on exponential transformation and we have that yet. find on exponential transformation and we have that yet-— have that yet. and you look at the thin . s have that yet. and you look at the things that _ have that yet. and you look at the things that the _ have that yet. and you look at the things that the world _ have that yet. and you look at the things that the world has - have that yet. and you look at the things that the world has had - have that yet. and you look at the things that the world has had to i things that the world has had to face in the last few years, the covid pandemic, globally, war in ukraine, and nowa covid pandemic, globally, war in ukraine, and now a cost of living crisis in so many countries. when you look at all of that, are you hopeful that they can be action when he have so many difficulties confronting them right now? well, what we should _ confronting them right now? well, what we should understand - confronting them right now? 1t what we should understand is that we

would not be in this energy crisis if the world had moved over to renewables, and if renewables were the predominant fuel for electricity around the world. the reason having an energy crisis is because we are still predominantly depending on oil and oil and gas and depending on erratic states to provide that oil and gas, hence we have a problem. but we wouldn't have it if we had actually moved over to renewables. the same thing with food prices. we are having a food price crisis and thatis are having a food price crisis and that is because of fuel prices, so all of these are actually interrelated crises and the amazing thing is that addressing climate change, decarbonising the global economy, moving over to clean, cheap, omnipresent technologies would actually help to alleviate many of the crises that we are suffering right now.— suffering right now. antonio guterres says _ suffering right now. antonio guterres says there - suffering right now. antonio guterres says there are - suffering right now. antonio guterres says there are two | suffering right now. antonio i guterres says there are two or suffering right now. antonio - guterres says there are two or three years to change course to get this

but according to the allegations detailed in this report, beijing has been operating underground, undeclared policing units, to tackle transnational crime and deal with administrative duties. but in reality, according to reports, to carry out persuasion operations aimed at persuading those suspected of speaking out against the chinese regime to return home. the original investigation was conducted by a spanish ngo called safeguard defenders, it is called chinese transnational policing gone wild. in this report they say, the public security bureaus from two chinese provinces have established 5a overseas police service centres across five continents and 21 countries. now, dutch journalists took that information and found one chinese dissident based here in the netherlands. he says that he received a phone call from someone claiming to be from one such station and during that conversation he says that he was urged to return to china to sort out his problems and to think about his parents. since then, he says he has been

subjected to a systematic campaign of harassment and intimidation, which he believes is being orchestrated by the chinese government agents. the foreign ministry told the bbc... but what's happening in the netherlands mightjust be the tip of the iceberg. the spanish ngo safeguard defenders says it's uncovered more than 50 unofficial police stations dotted around the world. it's found outposts in at least 21 countries including the uk, the us and many parts of europe. the unofficial police stations are allegedly being used to intimidate and silence chinese dissidents abroad. laura harth was part of the investigative team that used open sources to compile that information. she explains some of the techniques being used to persuade people to return home to china.

threats, harassment, guilt by association, punishment, sending covert agents abroad, persuading people into returning to china, obviously, we have been documenting these kinds of depart —— methodologies, we know how this is part of the nationwide framework that has been set up by the chinese communist party to really crackdown on dissent and hunt people down across the world to make sure that the overseas chinese, the diaspora communities, and i am thinking in particular or so of those ethnic, religious minorities, and hong kong activists, how they would remain silent or be coerced to return if not. ., , ., , ., silent or be coerced to return if not. ., , .,, ., , ., not. howes has china responded to the allegations? _ here's anna holligan again.

but there's concerns not all of them will feel welcome — or say. the country has been repeatedly criticised over its treatment of migrant workers and the lgbt community. now the british foreign secretary james cleverly has been called "tone deaf", after suggesting gay football fans should �*compromise" if they attend. and this is why. i have spoken to the qatari authorities in the past about gay football fans going to watch the world cup and how they will treat our fans and internationalfans. and, you know, they want to make sure that football fans are safe, secure and enjoy themselves, and they know that means they are going to have to make some compromises. please do be respectful of the host nation. they will try — they are trying — to ensure that people can be themselves and enjoy the football and i think with a little bit of flex and compromise at both ends it can be a safe, secure and exciting world cup. evenif even if england get to the world cup final, sukhia said he would not attend. as

in a statement yesterday, the qatari government said... returning to the british foreign secretary's comments, the prime minister official spokesman has since said that the lgbt fans should not be excited to compromise who they are if they visit qatar for the world cup. jack murleyjoins me now, he's the presenter of the bbc�*s lgbt sport podcast. what are they fans are likely to say to that latest comment?— to that latest comment? well, i think frankly — to that latest comment? well, i think frankly that _ to that latest comment? well, i think frankly that damage - to that latest comment? well, i think frankly that damage was i think frankly that damage was already done, you only need to look at the reaction since mr cleverley made his comments, even with downing street rolling back on it, to see how unhelpful his intervention has been. it has been called unhelpful and frankly it was very unclear what mr cleverley was referring to, when he's talking sex ability. is it that

you can go and be open about your sexuality, you can hold hands with your partner, can you wear a pride t—shirt or not wear a fried t—shirt? it is attic and acutely difficult time because many are uncomfortable with the world cup going to qatar. we have a campaign to encourage diversity and inclusion to hear the foreign secretary say this, didn't go down. foreign secretary say this, didn't to down. �* , foreign secretary say this, didn't to down. . , ., , ., go down. and is it at the stage where members _ go down. and is it at the stage where members of _ go down. and is it at the stage where members of the - go down. and is it at the stage where members of the lgbt. go down. and is it at the stage - where members of the lgbt community are now simply debating whether they would want to go at all to the tournament? t would want to go at all to the tournament?— would want to go at all to the tournament? ~ ., , ., ., , tournament? i think that stage was actually past _ tournament? i think that stage was actually past little _ tournament? i think that stage was actually past little while _ tournament? i think that stage was actually past little while ago, - tournament? i think that stage was actually past little while ago, of. actually past little while ago, of course no community is a monolith, there will be some lgbtq+ fans who will be going and they will be the argument that by going and having these conversations, you can focus on the lgbtq+ rights records like qatar, and most fans i have spoken

to do not plan to go and it goes beyond that. this is meant to be a festival of football for the world, many lgbtq+ fans, players, managers, fans, they are saying not only did they not plan to go, they don't plan to watch, they don't plan to get caught up in it, because... fin to watch, they don't plan to get caught up in it, because... on that note, unfortunately, _ caught up in it, because... on that note, unfortunately, yes, - caught up in it, because... on that note, unfortunately, yes, does - caught up in it, because... on thatl note, unfortunately, yes, does look like we have completely lostjack moley, who is the presenter of the bbc�*s lgbt sports pod cast but as you can hear from what he was saying, the reaction in the activity community to what is being said about the world cup in qatar regarding travelling there if you are gay, has caused a lot of debate, and that continues. but that this edition of outside source. there is so much more on all the stories we have been covering on the bbc news website and the app, you can reach

me on twitter. we will be back with another addition injust a me on twitter. we will be back with another addition in just a few minutes' time. stay with us. hello. well, it doesn't look like we'll be reaching for those thick coats any time soon. the temperatures are expected to rise a little further in some parts of the country, and we could get 21—22 celsius over the next day or so, perhaps in east anglia and the southeast. here's the reason for the very mild, warm weather — this current of warm air spreading in from the southern climes across spain, portugal, france, heading towards the uk. it's a large area of low pressure that's driving the weather, the winds blowing around it like so, scooping up that warmth from the south, pushing it in our direction. but also we've got weather fronts, cloud, and rain — and actually, towards the end of the night, or early thursday morning, we'll see more rain spreading into southwestern england,

parts of wales, and around the irish sea. so eastern parts of the country should have a dry start to thursday just about. and, of course, very mild with the south—southwesterly winds — 1a in london, ten in belfast, about that in glasgow and aberdeen. so tomorrow morning, a lot of cloud about. outbreaks of rain will be moving from south, due north during the course of the morning and into the afternoon. later, the clouds should break across many parts of the country in east anglia in the southeast, those temperatures could exceed 20 celsius. but for most of us, it will be around the mid—to—high—teens, which is above the average for the time of year. then thursday into friday, we see yet another weather system spreading into multiple areas of low pressure in the atlantic, so rain in the morning — but i think, come the afternoon and every bit as mild for many of us.

19—20 in east anglia, around the mid—teens for belfast, glasgow, edinburgh, aberdeen, as well. now into the weekend and next week, this is the jet stream pattern, a big dip in thejet stream — that means we have a low pressure nestled within this dip, and that, again, spells weather fronts coming in from the south, and mild air coming in from the south, as well. but into next week, it does look as though perhaps those temperatures start to ease by the time we get to around wednesday. and you can see plenty of rain clouds in the forecast here, too. bye— bye.

a large bloodied battle could be looming between ukrainian and russian forces as they fight for control of the ukrainian city of kherson. it's been occupied for many months by russia. ukraine says russia has been strengthening its military forces. we've seen civilian evacuations like this from kherson. it said tens of thousands have left as troops advance. the it said tens of thousands have left as troops advance.— it said tens of thousands have left as troops advance. the main target is the city of _ as troops advance. the main target is the city of kherson. _ as troops advance. the main target is the city of kherson. last - as troops advance. the main target is the city of kherson. last night, i is the city of kherson. last night, an adviser to president zalewski said. and last night, an adviser to president zelensky said there were no signs that russian troops were preparing to leave the city — in fact, he said, russian troops were preparing the streets for

defence and sending in more troops. but what ukrainian advances, this happened today in russia's far east. the kremlin says ballistic missiles were fired on land, sea and in the air. according to the kremlin, all the souls wants their targets. ukraine is plotting to use a "dirty bomb" — that's an explosive device mixed with radioactive material. the russian allegations have been widely rejected by western countries as false. ukraine's defence minister says a risk of large—scale russian nuclear attacks are low. my personal opinion, he will not use nuclear— my personal opinion, he will not use nuclear weapon. they did a lot of stupid _ nuclear weapon. they did a lot of stupid things. but they continued to be pragmatic.

by displacing the russians, - but i think that's the current shape of events and why people are so focused on it. i why do you think we are hearing these persistent allegations from russia that ukraine is planning to use some kind of dirty bomb? in the south, their intent i is to hold onto their illegally seized territories in ukraine - while they mobilise and try to bring up the troop numbers to sustain the conflictj up the troop numbersl to sustain the conflict. the big thing is to shut down| western support for ukraine, and one of the ways they are doing that is by scaring us— with nuclear rhetoric, _ with accusations about things that lead us to the point where it ukraine in their eyes will be | the aggressor about nuclear warfare. that's clearly unthinkable. a radiological device is not i a weapon of mass destruction, but mass irritation. it's a harassment weapon, i not a nuclear weapon at all, i but it allows russia to say thisl is becoming a nuclear battlefield and ukraine started it.

it's similar to the threat i we heard at the zaporizhzhia power plant earlier. it's all about scaring us _ and ramping up, putting pressure on western backers of ukraine and trying to make us - bring them to the table. stay with us. an alarming warning on climate change from the united nations as it says we are nearing the point of no return. only yesterday, she had spoken dying in the service of her country and said she would be proud of it. fitter said she would be proud of it. after 46 years of — said she would be proud of it. he a6 years of unhappiness, these two countries have concluded a chapter of history. h0 countries have concluded a chapter of histo . ., ., countries have concluded a chapter ofhisto. ., ., ,,, . ., ., of history. no more suspicion, no more fear. _ of history. no more suspicion, no more fear. no _

more unrest at anti—government protests in iran. we're hearing reports that security forces opened fire on demonstrators in the home town of mahsa amini — the young kurdish woman whose death in police custody triggered nationwide protests. it's now been a0 days since she died, and the demonstrations continue. this was the scene in mahsa's hometown, saqez — a kurdish city in the west. thousands gathered by her grave to mark the official end of the mourning period. mourners shouted "death to the dictator" and "woman, life, freedom". there are reports up to 10,000 people went to her grave. protests continued elsewhere. this is a vigil held at a university in tehran. you can see students start clapping and chanting. there were similar scenes at universities in other cities too. the bbc has been speaking

to an iranian woman who has joined protests. we're not naming her for her safety. today is a0 days since mahsa amini died. and in iran, there is a tradition that we have a ceremony for the a0th. today, many people have stopped working in protest, in the memory of mahsa. all cities, universities, and even schools continue to protest — and this is the first time that even students have joined the protests. unfortunately, the oppressive regime attacked schools and arrested students. the regime treats the protesters so cruelly that there are reports of rape, and prisoners who have been taken to hospitals because of this. the medical staff have also protested today and days ago. mahsa amini was detained by the morality police in tehran on 13 september for allegedly wearing her hijab "improperly". the 22—year—old fell into a coma and died three days later. her family disputes the police account of her death that she suffered a heart attack.

there are reports police beat her around the head with a baton. protests against her death are now in the sixth week. women and schoolgirls have been at the forefront — despite the danger of doing so. these pictures are from the city of shiraz — women marching without a hijab. men here can be heard saying "well done". protests have been met with a brutal crackdown. one human rights group says at least 1a0 protesters, including 29 children, have died in the protests. here's the protester again on whether she's afraid. it's not about me, it's about us in the next generation. we want to have a normal life — that's it, nothing more. they have tried their best to scare us all these years, but we have practised courage all these years and prepared for this. currently even people who were silent for years and accepted these conditions have joined the protesters, and now we are more than ever.

of course we are afraid, but we are practising courage every day to take back our freedom. we're told riot police and members of a paramilitary unit were deployed in saqqez, in anticipation of unrest on the protests have spread far beyond iran — including here in the uk. donya is an iranian british who has been heavily involved in demonstrations in the uk. today, we have groups and people all gathered together at trafalgar square. they will be holding a candlelit vigil for mahsa, as well as the many people we've lost in the last a0 days. i myself will be holding an online vigil or people will send photos of their candles who can't be in person in london today, and we will be creating a collage so everyone in iran can see that people are backing them today. we've seen some incredible pictures of people making their way

in the thousands to where she's buried. despite the crackdown by the authorities. what are you hearing today from your family and friends back home? unfortunately, communication has been extremely limited, so we're lucky by the videos we see on the social media particularly with the internet band. with the internet ban. today, they cracked down on the connectivity to lower awareness of the nationwide protest happening today, and a stop and filter these videos getting past. over the last a0 days, how have you kept the information going without the ability to get the free flow of social media, for instance, the internet blocked in iran? how are you keeping aware of the protest movement? we're very fortunate in this free world that we have social media at our hands and hashtags at our

grips, and actually, we've been hashtags of mahsa where these videos are is for these videos to fall into the hands of non—iranians globally so you can help support us and equip us. social media is our only weapon here. the only way we can help us by amplifying the stories and experiences of iranians over the last a0 days. so, this is how we've been adding momentum, we've tried to raise awareness, we've been writing to mp5. as british iranians, we have a list of clear demands we like our mps to address, and we want to call to non—iranians globally to assist us in this movement, because one person who re—shares a video is the voice of an iranian who is either too scared to speak out unfortunately, or the voice of an iranian who been muffled for a3 years, and particularly these last a0 days.

briefly, where you see this heading? briefly, where do you see this heading? how would you define what's happening in iran and do you see this is a significant moment of change, or at least imminent change? this is a revolution, and i really, really hope that uk media and other media outlets start calling it as such because this is the need and the wants of the people. they don't want reform any more, we believe the uk media is actually assisting this rhetoric that iranians want reform. they want political change, and this is decade—long of anger and repression coming to the fore. we asked our colleagues at bbc persian what they think about this and they

say they're currently defining as being in the protest stage, and they tell us that the iranian army and revolutionary guard are still loyal to the government, but they are assessing the language used all the time. countries are failing to live up to their commitments to fight climate change. that's the key takeaway from a new un report released today. its secretary—general antonio guterres has this warning. if we are not able to reverse the present trend that is leading to catastrophe in the world, we will be doomed. and so, this must be for all of us an absolute priority. let's get some context. this is what countries had pledged to deliver. in 2015, nearly 200 countries came together for the paris agreement — a landmark, legally—binding international treaty on climate change. this included a pledge to limit the global temperature

increase to 1.5 celsius above pre—industrial levels. to achieve this, countries said they'd set up targets to cut greenhouse gas emissions. that was then reaffirmed last year at the cop26 summit in scotland, where all countries agreed to revisit and strengthen their climate action plans. but even then, there was caution. this was cop 26 president alok sharma at the end of that summit. we can say with credibility that we have kept 1.5 degrees within reach, but its pulse is weak. so, those were the promises. the actions tell a different story. according to the un report, just 26 of the 193 countries that agreed to more ambitious climate actions have followed through with those plans. based on current pledges, the planet is also on track to warm by an average 2.5 celsius by the end of the century — dwarfing the 1.5 degree target. there were some more positive developments. the report says emissions will increase by 10.6% by 2030.

last year that figure had been 13.7%. so, a reduction. but emissions aren't on the rapid decline that experts say is desperately needed. antonio guterres says time is running out. we have very few years. i would say we have two or three years to change course. if we want to keep the 1.5 alive, we must absolutely start reducing emissions now, and then the question of accountability is essential. sadly, this is no surprise. first of all, these reports, and they wail the many of them, they always come outjust before the cup which is starting a few days in egypt and this is the time of the year when all of these assessment reports come out. now, it is no surprise

that we are behind schedule. that is not a surprise. the good news that is in these reports is that when we left paris in 2015, the collective effort of all countries would have taken us to 2.7 degrees of warming. today, we know that we're down to 2.5. better, but not enough. also, as you've just mentioned at the beginning of this programme, the projections last year were that we were going to be increasing 13.7% by the end of this decade. today, we know that is down to 10.6. better, but not sufficient. so, the conclusion that one riches here is that we are walking or rather crawling in the right direction, but we're not doing it fast enough. it is not enough to have marginal and incremental transformation. by now, we should be on exponential transformation and we have that yet.

—— we don't have that. and you look at the things that the world has had to face in the last few years — the covid pandemic, globally, war in ukraine, and now a cost of living crisis in so many countries. when you look at all of that, are you hopeful that they can be action when he have so many difficulties confronting action when people have so many difficulties confronting them right now? well, what we should understand is that we would not be in this energy crisis if the world had moved over to renewables, and if renewables were the predominant fuel for electricity around the world. the reason having an energy crisis is because we are still predominantly depending on oil and oil and gas and depending on erratic states to provide that oil and gas — hence we have a problem. but we wouldn't have it if we had actually moved over to renewables. the same thing with food prices. christiana figueres.

that is all from outside source on bbc news. i'll be back at the same time tomorrow. hello. well, it doesn't look like we'll be reaching for those thick coats any time soon. the temperatures are expected to rise a little further in some parts of the country, and we could get 21—22 celsius over the next day or so, perhaps in east anglia and the southeast. here's the reason for the very mild, warm weather — this current of warm air spreading in from the southern climes across spain, portugal, france, heading towards the uk. it's a large area of low pressure that's driving the weather, the winds blowing around it like so, scooping up that warmth from the south, pushing it in our direction. but also we've got weather fronts, cloud, and rain — and actually, towards the end of the night, or early thursday

morning, we'll see more rain spreading into southwestern england, parts of wales, and around the irish sea. so, eastern parts of the country should have a dry start to thursday just about. and, of course, very mild with the south—southwesterly winds — 1a in london, ten in belfast, about that in glasgow and aberdeen. so, tomorrow morning, a lot of cloud about. outbreaks of rain will be moving from south, due north during the course of the morning and into the afternoon. later, the clouds should break across many parts of the country and, given a bit of sunshine, lengthy spells of sunshine maybe in east anglia in the southeast, those temperatures could exceed 20 celsius. those temperatures but for most of us, it will be around the mid—to—high—teens, which is above the average for the time of year. then, thursday into friday, we see yet another weather system spreading into multiple areas of low pressure in the atlantic, pushing in these rain clouds. so, rain in the morning — but i think, come the afternoon on friday, it should brighten up. a few showers here and there, stronger breeze out towards the west and every bit as mild for many of us. 19—20 in east anglia,

around the mid—teens for belfast, glasgow, edinburgh, aberdeen as well. now, into the weekend and next week, this is the jet stream pattern, a big dip in thejet stream — that means we have a low pressure nestled within this dip, and that, again, spells weather fronts coming in from the south, and mild air coming in from the south, as well. but into next week, it does look as though perhaps those temperatures start to ease by the time we get to around wednesday. and you can see plenty of rain clouds in the forecast here, too. bye— bye.

let's speak now to our political correspondent. did he settle tory nerves, do you think? the attack lines from labour was very much non—dom is and suella braverman. t non—dom is and suella braverman. i think the reception from coincided —— consider of mps was pretty positive. —— conservative mps was pretty positive. notably, he has decided to keep the ban on fracking, which was something liz truss said she would lift, where there was local consent. this is interesting because when rishi sunak was in the leadership contest against liz truss in the summer, he also said he would back reintroducing fracking where there is a local consent, he has ruled that out and this is pretty significant in terms of tory backbenchers particularly because it

was that very vote around fracking which caused a big headache for liz truss, they were open discussions about tory mps being forced to back her plans and not have a proper site on them as well, so i think it is significant that he is willing to be bold injunking some of significant that he is willing to be bold in junking some of the policies she did that were unpopular. fin she did that were unpopular. on suella braverman, a lot of disquiet by the cabinet secretary, do we know if rishi sunak overrules simon case about bringing suella braverman back in so quickly?— in so quickly? certainly, those re orts in so quickly? certainly, those reports seem _ in so quickly? certainly, those reports seem to _ in so quickly? certainly, those reports seem to have - in so quickly? certainly, those reports seem to have been i in so quickly? certainly, those i reports seem to have been denied in so quickly? certainly, those - reports seem to have been denied by number ten today, rishi sunak himself dodged that questioning prime minister's questions today when keir starmer asked if officials had raised concerns about her appointment. i don't think this is a line of attack the opposition will drop any time soon, they are very keen to stress that it was just days ago is that she had to resign from that home secretary role after data breaches. they are questioning why

she is allowed back into the same role that she resigned from. labour have accused the government of rishi sunak doing a grubby deal, in their words, with her, in exchange for her supporting him in that leadership contest. it was seen as significant when she decided to endorse rishi sunak, given she is a popular voice on the right wing of the conservative party. rishi sunak denied that, saying that the reason she had been appointed was because it brought stability and experience to the role, but i think these questions will go away for him any time soon. ., ., questions will go away for him any time soon. ., ~ questions will go away for him any time soon-— questions will go away for him any time soon. ., ~' , ., , . time soon. ok, thank you very much indeed. time soon. ok, thank you very much indeed- let's — time soon. ok, thank you very much indeed. let's speak _ time soon. ok, thank you very much indeed. let's speak now— time soon. ok, thank you very much indeed. let's speak now to - time soon. ok, thank you very much indeed. let's speak now to the i indeed. let's speak now to the labour mp for indeed. let's speak now to the labour mpfor birmingham indeed. let's speak now to the labour mp for birmingham edgbaston and shadow international and secretary, what did you think today? i suppose you would welcome the extended moratorium on fracking? absolutely, it is very clear in a position that it is labour that are

statement on economic plans is pushed back to 17th of november. the chancellor said it was prudent to allow more time to get the most up—to—date economic forecast. our business correspondent explained. our number one priority is economic stability, and restoring confidence that the united kingdom as a country that the united kingdom as a country that pays its way. and for that mead —— reason, the medium—term fiscal plan is extremely important and i want to confirm that it will demonstrate debt falling over the medium—term. demonstrate debt falling over the medium-term.— demonstrate debt falling over the medium-term. ~ . , , ., , medium-term. well, as it stands, the government — medium-term. well, as it stands, the government faces _ medium-term. well, as it stands, the government faces a _ medium-term. well, as it stands, the government faces a black _ medium-term. well, as it stands, the government faces a black hole, - government faces a black hole, perhaps 30, £40 billion, close to what we spent on defence last year and that is even after the reversal

of most of september's tax cuts. there has also been recession warnings. what the prime minister admits is a profound economic crisis. could a further delay to publishing its plans and the watchdog's assessment revive the recent damaging market turmoil? well, maybe not. take a look at this, this is the cost of government borrowing, dictated by bond markets, and after starring in the wake of the mini budget, as investors feared, those plans were too risky, those rates have falls back —— fallen back. this is notjust a new chancellor but a whole new strategy, and this could allow the government to unveil a brighter picture by delaying. if these rates are sustained, official projections could argue that the government's bill for debt interest may be £10 billion lower than it might be deemed now, when the forecast would reflect the height of the axed over the original mini budget plans. all

of that could plug some of the spending hole that remains. there is a lower bond rates could also spell a lower bond rates could also spell a reduction in fixed rate mortgage deals, signalling less than an economic squeeze on hundreds of thousands of households who will soon remortgage, and this delay could have other benefits.- soon remortgage, and this delay could have other benefits. there is little bit more _ could have other benefits. there is little bit more time _ could have other benefits. there is little bit more time now— could have other benefits. there is little bit more time now and - could have other benefits. there is little bit more time now and the i little bit more time now and the full autumn statement, that may mean more decisions can be made, and in particular, decisions specific to individual departments, how much money, education, and health and so on. that would be hard to do by monday, still hard to do in two weeks but still possible. the currency markets _ weeks but still possible. the currency markets have welcomed the opportunity for more detailed plans. the pound is up by more than 10 cents against the dollar, from those lows we saw after the mini budget. could the chancellor use this extra time to explore wider options, rather than cuts to spending on services, could the spotlight shifted higher taxes on businesses

who benefited from the recent turmoil on energy and financial markets? well, what is ever revealed next month, the prime minister knows economic sterility means more than navigating the current crisis, it will mean boosting long—term prosperity, in a way that has evaded many of his predecessors. nato secretary general and says the war in ukraine has reached a pivotal moment with president putin responding to failures on the battlefield with more aggression. russian forces are reported to be digging infor russian forces are reported to be digging in for extremely heavy battles in the strategic region of her son as the kremlin try to defend the largest city under its control in ukraine. the counteroffensive is proving more difficult than in the north—east because of the weather and the danger of the terrain.

the ukrainian defence minister said the ukrainian advance in kherson has been made more difficult because of the terrain in the region, but also because of the rainy conditions in the area. oleksii reznikov did not give details about the operation in the region. the ukrainian forces are advancing along the dnipro river, and the main target here is the city of kherson, which is one of the largest of ukrainian cities in the russian occupation, and the capital of one of the four regions that president putin claims to have annexed. and last night, an adviser to president zelensky said there were no signs that russian troops were preparing to leave the city — in fact, he said, russian troops were preparing the streets for defence and sending in more troops. but the defence minister also said there was a change in russian tactics after the appointment of the russian general as the commander of the russian forces here in ukraine. the minister said russia was now openly fighting against civilians,

not just the openly fighting against civilians, notjust the ukrainian military, by attacking civilian infrastructure across the country, and he said he was priority number one to strengthen the country's defence systems. and, finally, the minister also dismissed the allegations being made by russia that ukraine is ready to use a dirty bomb. he said this was an attempt by moscow to reduce western support to ukraine, and he described it as blackmail and the civilised world.

do you think governments recognise that? not at the moment. it is very unfortunate that in many governments, the pressures of the difficulties at the moment, and they are recognisable, those difficulties, you inflation, high prices of energy and food, social unrest linked to that, so there has beenindeed unrest linked to that, so there has been indeed a tendency to put climate change on the back burner and that is why it is so important to strongly advocate to bring back time a change to the centre of international debate.- time a change to the centre of international debate. there have been fears _ international debate. there have been fears in _ international debate. there have been fears in some _ international debate. there have been fears in some countries, i been fears in some countries, including the uk, have been rolling back on some of their climate collect months. liz truss advised king charles not to go to the un climate summit in egypt, for

this is the official base of the chinese government in the netherlands. but according to the allegations detailed in this report, beijing has been operating underground, undeclared policing units, to tackle transnational crime and deal with administrative duties. but in reality, according to reports, to carry out persuasion operations aimed at persuading those suspected of speaking out against the chinese regime to return home. the original investigation was conducted by a spanish ngo called safeguard defenders, it is called chinese transnational policing gone wild. in this report they say, the public security bureaus from two chinese provinces have established 54 overseas police service centres across five continents and 21 countries.

now, dutch journalists took that information and found one chinese dissident based here in the netherlands. he says that he received a phone call from someone claiming to be from one such station and during that conversation he says that he was urged to return to china to sort out his problems and to think about his parents. since then, he says he has been subjected to a systematic campaign of harassment and intimidation, which he believes is being orchestrated by the chinese government agents. now the british foreign secretary james cleverly has been called "tone deaf", after suggesting gay football fans should 'compromise" if they attend. and this is why. i have spoken to the qatari authorities in the past about gay football fans going to watch the world cup and how they will treat our fans

and internationalfans. and, you know, they want to make sure that football fans are safe, secure and enjoy themselves, and they know that means they are going to have to make some compromises. please do be respectful of the host nation. they will try — they are trying — to ensure that people can be themselves and enjoy the football and i think with a little bit of flex and compromise at both ends it can be a safe, secure and exciting world cup. a spokesman for rishi sunak has said people do not have to compromise who people do not have to compromise who people are when they go to qatar, our reporter gave this assessment. i our reporter gave this assessment. i think the damage was done. you only need to look at the reaction that has come since mr cleverley made his comments, even with downing street rolling back on it, to see how helpful and helpful his intervention has been. the supporters group for

england fans called it unhelpful and it was unclear what mr cleverley was referring to when he was talking about flexibility. is it that you can go and be open about your sexuality? you can hold hand with your partners or can't you do that? can you wear a pride t—shirt or not wear one? it comes at an acutely difficult time for football because many in the community are very uncomfortable with the world cup going to qatar. in british football, a campaign is running to encourage diversity and inclusion so to hear the foreign secretary saying this, it didn't go down well. the one balls, playschool, blue peter, some popular programmes on the tv. david sillitoe looks back as the tv. david sillitoe looks back as the bbc turns 100. crackerjack, bill and ben, andy pandy, the magic roundabout, it is for millions of us instant nostalgia. and it has been
