attack was happening. police arrived as the attack was happening. our officers observed mr pelosi and the suspect both holding a hammer. the suspect pulled the hammer away from mr pelosi and violently assaulted him with it. 82—year—old paul pelosi is in hospital undergoing brain surgery. the suspect will be charged with attempted homicide. nancy! 0h, nancy! during the attack on the capitol on january the 6th last year, rioters were specifically searching for nancy pelosi. she had been evacuated from the building by police. later she blamed donald trump for inciting the riots and putting politicians in danger. it shouldn't be that not only is the president of the united states inciting an interaction, but keeps fanning the flame, endangering the security of members of congress. president biden says he is praying for mr pelosi's recovery. republican leaders have also condemned the attack. violent political threats

and attacks have increased alarmingly in america in the last few years. some senior politicians are now worried that it won't be long before one of them is killed. sarah smith, bbc news, washington. twitter�*s new owner, the billionaire elon musk, has said no major decisions will be made for the time being on reinstating suspended accounts. the world's richest person said the company needed to hold a meeting of a moderation council before taking any such action. mr musk has perviously signalled he's willing to reverse bans on controversial users, including donald trump. this report is from our technology editor zoe kleinman. elon musk — to his many fans, one of the most innovative and influential people in the world. he is certainly the richest. he made his money with paypal and is now the boss of the electric car firm tesla. he also owns rocket maker spacex and his starlink satellite network provides internet access round the world. and now he adds to his portfolio twitter, the small

but mighty social network. "let that sink in," he said, walking into twitter hq carrying, yes, a sink. elon musk is a prolific tweeter, with more than 110 million followers. he is now calling himself chief twit. "the bird is freed," he tweeted, followed later by, "let the good times roll." he has promised to form a moderation council. nothing will be decided before it meets, he said. it is not known when that will be. musk has a strong views about free speech. if he starts to see that a certain type of free speech environment, eg, one where anything goes, might become a hellscape, as he said, and that might see people leave, in which case advertisers who are paying to be on the site might get concerned, because there will be fewer eyeballs looking at their ads.

all of this matters because twitter has become the place all of this matters because twitter has become a place where world leaders, opinion formers and politicians come to share their views. it is a kind of direct line between the decision makers and us, those they represent. elon musk thinks we need a digital town square, a community space for public discussion, and twitter, he argues, is it. several top execs have already been sacked, and for those who remain, they need to know musk means business. i suspect they will want to get some degree of certainty that elon musk isn't going to be running it like he runs his twitter account. his twitter account is full of memes and jokes. people want a degree of seriousness. they consider this a really important product in the world. there is lots of speculation about whether musk�*s takeover will mean the return of the most high—profile person on twitter�*s banned list, former us president donald trump. one for the moderation counsel, but some investors are known to be keen. i know everybody hates donald trump, including me, but free speech is about many things we don't like,

and many things he says might actually be really harmful to donald trump, so i think this era of letting people on the platform is exactly why we need to protect speech. speaking to fox news, donald trump of course had his own view. he wished elon musk lots of luck but said twitter couldn't succeed without him. zoe kleinman, bbc news. they say they were temporarily pause paid ads following the takeover singly or engaging with twitter to understand the direction of the platform that new ownership with the significant change and temporarily pause to paid advertising. the northern ireland secretary has said voters in northern ireland will be going to the polls for the second time in 12 months to vote yet again for members

of the stormont assembly. after a midnight deadline to break months of gridlock passed — chris heaton—harris said an election must be held within 12 weeks — although he did not give a date. back in may, for the first time, the nationalist party sinn fein won the largest number of seats in the stormont assembly. but the biggest unionist party — the dup — has refused to restore power—sharing, because it says northern ireland's place in the uk has been undermined by the post—brexit trade deal — signed by boris johnson. that deal — the protocol, means that goods transported from great britain to northern ireland — are subject to checks so that the border between northern ireland in the uk and the republic in europe, can remain open. our ireland correspondent, emma vardy, reports. political paralysis, on the horizon

for some time, now set in. political paralysis, on the horizon for some time, has now drawn in. as the midnight deadline came and went, civil servants, not ministers any more, are running northern ireland. today, the secretary of state said he would now call an election but left doubt over a date. i have limited options ahead of me. i am under a legal duty to call an election within 12 weeks. i've had lots and lots of talks with all the parties and will continue to do so. there was the option to legislate to delay this moment — how does calling an election help solve any of the problems for northern ireland that got us here? nearly all the parties who've been saying this won't help the situation actually signed up to the rules that make this situation happen. why call it now? because i'm legally bound to do so. and those rules state it must be held within 12 weeks. alongside carol singers, voters are now expecting campaigning politicians on their doorstep

in the run—up to christmas, but beyond that, no—one really thinks there is any greater prospect of power—sharing coming back. the dup maintains they will only go back into government if major changes are made to the brexit arrangements. i'm ready to fight an election. if the secretary of state wants to hold an election, then he should tell us and we will prepare for that election. but if not, then let's focus on what really needs to be done, which is to find a solution that restores northern ireland's place within the united kingdom and removes the protocol and the harm it's doing to our relationship with the rest of the uk. we need an assembly and executive up and running. we need to have one functioning to serve the people well, to get them through these tough times. but we're all left this evening wondering what's going to happen next and what actually is the motivation behind what the secretary of state has done this evening. for many families, it means facing the cost of living crisis with political leaders absent. not having a government means the ability to help people through this

is severely limited. we are struggling, not even week to week but day to day, trying to put food on our table. james manages a community hub in belfast. he says families are increasingly dependent on the voluntary services here, and that he's in the same boat. you know, i used to run a food hub from my house, over covid. and i'm now, there are times that i'm having to go to a food programme and say, listen, we're really struggling. yourself? ourself, and as a manager, it's humiliating. another election, james believes, provides no new answers. i don't believe that the people who are there really want stormont to work. and with patients facing the longest waiting lists in the uk, doctors are warning the health service is a major casualty of this crisis. what will this winter look like for health care workers if there is no functioning government? we already know that it's really, really difficult, even with the government.

we just cannot cope with the demand that's there at the moment. six months ago, we should have had an executive and a budget, not only a budget but a multi—year budget which would have allowed us to do things vastly differently and we would have seen those changes. now, there's lots and lots of plans that are there. the fragility of power—sharing means stormont has only functioned for two of the last six years. today marks a return to stagnation northern ireland has faced all too often before. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: jerry lee lewis, one of the leading figures of rock and roll — whose life was marred by scandal and violence — has died at the age of 87 indira gandhi, ruler of the world's largest democracy, died today. only yesterday, she had spoken of dying in the service

this is bbc news, the latest headlines. a new wave of violence in iran, with security forces firing on protestors, and reports of injuries and deaths. a man's charged with attempted murder after attacking the husband of us house speaker nancy pelosi, during a break—in at their home in san fransisco. in a legalfirst, the sentencing of a murderer has been televised and broadcast live in england and wales. a judge gavejemma mitchell life in prison for killing herfriend from church, and then dumping her decapitated body in devon. helena wilkinson reports. this isjemma mitchell on her way to mee kuen chong's house. hours later, she murders her and puts her body in the big blue suitcase. miss chong, also known as deborah, was friends with the former osteopath. both devout christians, they met through the church, but they fell out over money.

mitchell is the first murderer and first woman in england and wales to have her sentence televised, in a rule change allowing people to seejustice being delivered. the enormity of your crime is profoundly shocking. even more so given your apparent religious devotion as well as the fact that deborah chong was a good friend to you and had shown you great kindness. mitchell kept miss chong's body for two weeks. she then drove over 200 miles away to salcombe in devon. charlotte rollings was with family on holiday when they found the headless body. it was the body of a lady. and initially, ithought maybe she'd slipped over, but then on closer look, her hand was left on her skirt and it was so white, you knew that she wasn't alive.

mitchell became the prime suspect and was arrested. jemma, at this moment, i'm arresting you on suspicion of murder. _ today, in a victim impact statement read to court, deborah chong's sister amy chong said... mitchell will serve at least 3a years in prison for what was a chilling and calculated murder of herfriend. helena wilkinson, bbc news. pakistan's former prime minister, imran khan has begun leading a week—long march of his supporters from the eastern city of lahore to the capital islamabad demanding early elections. it's after he was ousted in april after losing a confidence vote in parliament. our reporter tarhub asghar is in lahore.

right now, i am here at the liberty iconic spot with the prime minister asked his supporters to get prepared and you can see thousands of people were actually here and came here on this and the leadership is also here and he was voted out from the office and he was voted out from the office and and since then, he's been around with pressure on the establishment and announcing elections, you can see the people are here, their families who came here in the small march and for activity and from here

to islamabad. let's get some of the day's other news russia's defence minister says 300,000 reservists have now been mobilised. sergei shoigu was shown on television, telling president putin that some had already been sent into the conflict zone with ukraine, while the rest were still being trained. however a member of the russian parliament has warned that recruits are being sent to the front line without proper instruction. more than sixty people are now known have died in flash floods and landslides in the philippines. dangerous weather conditions continue as tropical storm nalgae batters the country. many of the victims are from towns in the southern province of maguindanao. the storm is expected to reach its peak this weekend, and officials say nearly five thousand people have already been evacuated. one of the leading figures of rock and roll, jerry lee lewis had died aged eighty seven. his song "great balls of fire" was a world wide hit and he was one of the original inductees in the rock and roll hall of fame.

david sillito looks back at his life # come on over, baby, whole lotta shakin' goin' on...# if you ever wondered why rock and roll was called the devil's music, jerry lee lewis is your answer. it was his piano playing that got him expelled from bible college. rock and roll was his escape from god—fearing southern poverty. if you want to be a hillbilly, you can if you want to, but i would hate to put myself in that position. i'm rock and roll. his family had mortgaged their house to buy young jerry a piano. he started out performing on the back of a truck before hitting the big time as part

of sun records' roster of rock and roll stars. # goodness, gracious, great balls of fire! # i laughed at love cos i thought it was funny # but you came along and you moved me, honey # i've changed my mind...# and then it all came crashing down. were you there, mrs lewis? i was there, but i. wasn't at the shows. 0n tour in britain, he announced his new wife, myra gale, his 13—year—old cousin. there was outrage, but he continued to perform. when were you married? well, we leave personal questions out of this. # i ain't fakin', i got a whole lot of shakin' going on... his life — there were seven marriages — was was a barely believable catalogue of death, drugs, violence, guns and many good—looking women out there".

what's your problem? his roots were god and gospel, but after a life like this, he probably had a good idea where he was going. earlier my colleague samathan simmonds spoke to saxophonist leo green, who played withjerry lee lewis and had just come off stage in central london. she began by asking him about his exerpiences playing alongside the rock and roll star. when ijoined when i joined his when ijoined his band, was 19 years old and _ when ijoined his band, was 19 years old and by— when ijoined his band, was 19 years old and by that point, he is probably— old and by that point, he is probably in his early 60s and they thought— probably in his early 60s and they thought he was a old man but he is still had _ thought he was a old man but he is still had this incredible power when he sat— still had this incredible power when he sat behind the piano and where people _ he sat behind the piano and where people may not be aware of was, he

another spell of rain moving in overnight and into the mornings through wales and parts of england and actually a little bit cooler first thing, compared with friday morning. some spots in single figures. through the day, this rain is moving its way northwards. through the morning, northern england, eventually reaching northern ireland and through the afternoon spreading north through scotland. not reaching the far north until the evening where some sunshine hangs on for longest. behind it, further heavy showers from northern ireland, northern england, wales and the southwest. much of the midlands, especially towards east anglia and the southeast having a fine afternoon and this is where there will be some hazy sunshine in the southeast, lifting temperatures into the low 20s. 22 celsius in london compared with an average of ia. rain into northern scotland and the evening somes showers pushing eastwardss we go into to saturday night and into sunday morning. at night, of course remember to push the clocks back to mark the end of british summertime. and as for temperatures, a little bit higher again as we start off on sunday. there's a lingering weather front, east anglia and the south—

east during sunday. that will make for a cloudier, cooler day and will be some spells of rain in there with that weather front at times. elsewhere, it's sunny spells and there will be showers. and if you catch these, they are likely to be heavy, could come with a rumble of thunder, perhaps some hail as well and gusty winds. it's a windier day on sunday and especially around western coastal areas, may be some gusts of 50 miles an hourorso. so some coastal gales around here and temperatures into the mostly middle to upper teens. there are weather changes on the way next week and we will start to see areas of low pressure more weather fronts coming in and indeed, it gradually turns weather to the end of the day across the southwest of the uk initially. so, more of the same in regards to windy weather next week with the rain at times. but this is going to be significant, temperatures gradually heading downwards. closer to the average for early november, just the average but it will feel very different compared to what we've had.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me anne mcelvoy, who's senior editor at the economist, and the journalist and broadcaster, james lewer. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the express headlines that a "breakthrough deal in migrant crisis" is close to being signed —

on the inside pages we learn the deal involves extra money and drones for france.
