this is bbc news: i'm shaun ley with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. a new wave of deadly clashes in iran — with security forces firing on anti—government protestors. it appears you are complete denial.

it appears you are in complete denial. a murder sentence is televised for the first time in england and wales — jemma mitchell is given life for the killing and decapitation of her friend. the british government will call a snap election in northern ireland — after politicians in the devolved government failed to restore power—sharing at stormont. #...great balls of fire!# and — the music industry pays tribute tojerry lee lewis — one of rock and roll�*s all—time greats, who's died aged eighty seven. hello and welcome. there's been a new wave of deadly clashes in iran. activitsts say security forces fired on dozens of people as they left friday prayers in the southern city of zahedan. it follows a similar crackdown in the same city nearly a month ago, during protests over the death of mahsa amini. robin brant reports.

six weeks in and these protests show no sign of abating. the opposite in fact. this is the scene of violent confrontation again. and the tactics continue to be unbearably indiscriminate. i saw footage of a teenager, shot in the head and apparently has been killed and they haven't gotten exact figures for how many people have died, how many people have been injured today but the footage that we saw, we can say that certainly, they opened fire again with live ammunition. what started as a protest over the death of a young woman in custody because of how she wore her hijab is now a chaotic

and increasingly deadly confrontation between iran's people and its religious leaders. any tactic that they had been using previous rounds of previous protests to crack down and get people to go back home, those tactics are not working this time around. there is a wave of anger in these protests that is unlike anything i personally have ever seen and i have been reporting for years and years and this is unique. iran's military claims that the us was conspiring with others to spark the riots. meanwhile, the united nations has raised a list of issues with iran that it's deeply worried about. authorities have been moving injured protesters from hospitals to detention facilities. refused to release the bodies of those killed to their families and delivered the deceased on the condition that the families do not hold a funeral and that their families do not

speak the media. in one protest video verified by news agency afp, people are seen shouting death to the dictator and say there is now a serious risk of mass killings. a suspect is facing charges including attempted murder after the husband of the leading us democrat, nancy pelosi, was attacked with a hammer at the couple's home in san francisco. us media reports said the intruder shouted, "where's nancy?" during the assault on paul pelosi. mrs pelosi was in washington at the time. our north america editor, sarah smith, reports. police say the intruder used a hammer to smash glass doors and break into the pelosi home, shouting, where is nancy? this appears to be a targeted attack. he tried to tie up paul pelosi to wait for his wife to come home. she was in washington at the time.

police arrived at the 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 of the united states inciting an insurrection, 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. a woman who killed her friend has become the first person to be sentenced for murder on live television in england and wales. jemma mitchell was told she will serve at least 3a years injailfor killing mee kuen chong at her home in london lastjune. 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 see

justice 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. 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 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. pakistan's former prime minister, imran khan has begun leading a week—long procession of his supporters from the eastern city of lahore to the capital islamabad, demanding early elections. the government says it will not allow the procession to enter islamabad and has deployed thousands of security personnel. our reporter tarhub

the northern ireland secretary has said voters in northern ireland will be going to the polls for the second time in 12 months. 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 borisjohnson. 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, 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. one of the pioneers of rock and roll, the american singerjerry lee lewis, has died. he was eighty—seven. his larger—than—life performances on—stage were overshadowed by his scandalous private life, as david sillito reports. # come on over, baby, whole lotta shakin�* # goin�* on...# if you ever wondered why rock and roll was called the greatest talent in the field of music that i am in. 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've changed my mind...# shows could end a near riot conditions. were you there, mrs lewis? i was there, but i. wasn't at the shows. and then it all came crashing down. on tour in britain, he announced his new wife, myra gale, his 13—year—old cousin. when were you married? well, we leave personal questions out of this. the backlash against rock and rolls in full swing and he disappeared from the airwaves. they want to present a family—friendly cleaned up rock and roll byjerry lee lewis was

family—friendly cleaned up rock and mi wild, rry lee lewis was family—friendly cleaned up rock and rc drugs rry leeigsssgggz— family—friendly cleaned up rock and rc drugs rry infiiffifiéiggz' family—friendly cleaned up rock and rc drugs rry in his 7515379; could come the drink, drugs and in his homes, he could count the bullet holes. his country songs came from the heart. but his soul... i preached pretty heavy. i was like,"man, i really can't be what i am, there's too many good—looking women out there". so i had to do my rock and roll thing, and i'm still doing it. 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, samantha simmonds, spoke to saxophonist leo green, who had just come off stage in central london. she began by asking him about his experiences playing alongside the rock and roll star. when ijoined when i joined his when ijoined his band, was 19 years— when ijoined his band, was 19 years old — when ijoined his band, was 19 years old and by that point, he is probably in his early 60s and — is probably in his early 60s and in _ is probably in his early 60s and in his_ is probably in his early 60s and in his own descriptions, he was _ and in his own descriptions, he was this— and in his own descriptions, he was this old man but he had this— was this old man but he had this incredible power when he sat behind piano and while everyone maybe not be aware of was he _ everyone maybe not be aware of was he was this phenomenon who defined _ was he was this phenomenon who defined rock and roll piano playing _ defined rock and roll piano playing but also, he wouldn't tell where we're going to play but you — tell where we're going to play but you do country music. there are songs — but you do country music. there are songs for musicals, there was _ are songs for musicals, there was blues, there is gospel and this is— was blues, there is gospel and this is rock_ was blues, there is gospel and this is rock and roll hits and this— this is rock and roll hits and this was— this is rock and roll hits and this was an incredible encyclopaedia of knowledge, vocally — encyclopaedia of knowledge, vocally and as a pianist, just incredible. looking back now, i cannot— incredible. looking back now, i cannot believe that also lucky enough — cannot believe that also lucky enough. hejust cannot believe that also lucky enough. he just wanted to sit and talk— enough. he just wanted to sit and talk about music, he was

museum where it's displayed says it's far too late to rectify the error — as the work could fall apart if it was re—hung the right way up. that is bbc news. hello. the weekend weather delivers more of the same of what we've had over the past week, couple of weeks, actually. it'll be very mild, actually. it will be quite warm when we get see some sunshine, there will be rain at times too. we have low pressure anchored to the west of the uk at the moment. throwing across us at times, these rain—bearing weather fronts, even when they're not moving in, there are showers around. but all the while, with some changing for now is the air

coming up from the south, keeping temperatures well above the average for this stage of october. 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 14. 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 weatherfront, 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 hour or so. 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.
