welcome to bbc news, i'm rich preston. our top stories: a new wave of deadly clashes in iran — with security forces firing on anti—government protestors. a man is charged with attempted murder after the husband of the us democratic house speaker, nancy pelosi, was attacked in their california home. the two candidates in the running to be brazil's next president are facingoff, in an all—or—nothing televised debate, ahead of sunday's election. # goodness, gracious, 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 87.

welcome to our viewers on pbs in the united states and around the world. 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 zahedan, the scene of violent confrontation again. independent observers claiming the cracked down by security forces across iran has killed at least 160 people and the tactics continue to be

unbearably indiscriminate. i saw footage of a teenager, a child, shot in the head who 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 as you said, from the footage that we saw, we can say that certainly, they opened fire again with live ammunition. what started out 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 some of iran's people and its religious leaders. any tactic that they had been used in previous rounds of previous protests including 2009 and 2017, 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 from iran about protests there 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. of particular concern is information that 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 their families do not hold a funeral or that theirfamilies do not speak the media. in one protest video verified by the news agency afp, people are seen shouting �*death to the dictator�* aimed at iran's supreme leader, ali khamenei. as the protests continue in various cities, human rights campaigners say there is now a serious risk of mass killings.

president biden has called the attack on the husband of leading us democrat nancy pelosi �*despicable�*. a suspect is facing charges including attempted murder after attacking paul pelosi with a hammer at the couple's home in san francisco. us media reports said the intruder shouted "where's nancy?" during the assault. 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's 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 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 sixth last year, rioters were specifically searching for nancy pelosi. she'd been evacuated from the building by police. later, she blamed donald trump for inciting the riot and putting politicians in danger. it shouldn't be that not only is the president 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 short while ago the

san francisco police department held a press conference, here's some of what they said. when the officers arrived at the front of the residence this morning the doors opened by someone inside and the officers observed through the open door mr pelosi and the suspect inside the entryway of the home. at this time the officers remained outside the threshold of the home and observed mr pelosi and the offender each with one hand on a single hammer. one hammer. officers, while still outside the doorway threshold gave commands to both men to drop the hammer. the suspect immediately pulled the hammer away from mr policy and violently attacked him with the hammer. the officers

immediately emptied, tackled the suspect, disarmed him, took the suspect, disarmed him, took the hammer away from him and took the suspect, mr de pape into custody. they rendered medical aid and requested emergency backup. i can confirm that de pape forced entry into a door at the rear of the home and i would like to reemphasise the quick response and actions of our offices. officer colby, officer cagney and sergeant edmund quine. also, i want to reemphasise and think our dispatcher, heatherfor her intuition, quick thinking. she had to interpret what she was being told and based on her experience and her intuition she basically figured out that there was something more to this incident than what she was being told. her actions, this incident than what she was being told. heractions, in my

opinion, resulted in both a higher priority dispatch and a faster response. i think this was lifesaving. joining me now is catie edmondson, congressional correspondent at the new york times. good evening to you there in washington. the people that you speak to on capitol hill, congressmen and women and their stuff, what do they say about this attack?— stuff, what do they say about this attack? this attack, which eve one this attack? this attack, which everyone on — this attack? this attack, which everyone on capitol _ this attack? this attack, which everyone on capitol hill- this attack? this attack, which everyone on capitol hill is - everyone on capitol hill is horrified by is an encapsulation of what, for years now, has become a nightmare scenario for many lawmakers. over the past six seven, particularly since former president donald trump was elected to office in 2016, members of congress have seen an unprecedented up tick of violent threats lodged against them and their families violent threats lodged against them and theirfamilies coming to their offices. in the last six years capital police said they have taken an increase of

ten fold threats coming through that they are keeping track of. and so while i think everyone on capitol hill today is absolutely appalled i think you would be pressed to find people who are truly surprised that something like this could happen to a member of congress or theirfamily. happen to a member of congress or their family.— or their family. how is this u tick or their family. how is this untick in — or their family. how is this uptick in threats _ or their family. how is this uptick in threats of - or their family. how is this - uptick in threats of aggression and violence being dealt with? are members of staff being offered increased police protection?— protection? one of the difficulties, _ protection? one of the difficulties, one - protection? one of the difficulties, one of - protection? one of the difficulties, one of the | difficulties, one of the dynamics currently is that afterjanuary 6 and the attack on the capital, capital police had a tough time keeping police officers, keeping the number of staff that they needed in order to process those threats. a spokesman for the capital police, the agency in charge of keeping members of congress save, say they have been able to hire a number of people that they need in order to process all these threats but i will

also add them many of these violent messages are being processed by 18, 19—year—old interns working on capitol hill who are entering the phones for these congressional offices every day and there is a lot of work placed on them as well. we did hear the police spokesperson they're talking about dispatcher having to have had make sense of a garbled call for help. nancy pelosi is not an insignificant figure in us politics, she is third in line to the presidency and one would have assumed there would be some kind of panic button, potentially some kind of constant security presence at her house. constant security presence at her house-— constant security presence at herhouse. , . , . , her house. generally lawmakers and particularly _ her house. generally lawmakers and particularly lawmakers - her house. generally lawmakers and particularly lawmakers who | and particularly lawmakers who are as high—profile as speaker pelosi, they do not like to discuss the details of their security. however it seems that what happened here was that the speaker was not at home at the time of the attack. she was

here in washington and dc and thus pirsig purity details with her in dc and not at her home in san francisco. so i am sure there will be more questions asked about what exactly was the security situation at the speaker's home in san francisco and i think many members right now, many lawmakers are probably trying to figure out what adjustments or improvements they need to make at their homes in order to make sure that they feel safe being there with their family. events like this and _ there with their family. events like this and like _ there with their family. events like this and like the _ there with their family. events like this and like the january i like this and like the january 6 storming of the capital, does this put elected representatives of doing their jobs? i think it does. we hope for members of congress and both parties who have retired either this year or in recent years. either this year or in recent ears. ., ., ., ,., either this year or in recent ears. ., ., ., , years. part of the reason is that they — years. part of the reason is that they simply _ years. part of the reason is that they simply are - years. part of the reason is that they simply are not. that they simply are not interested in having to cope with a deluge of abusive

messages. on the other side of the coin it gives many people who might be interested in running for congress, they may be interested in even taking a position a local level like a parent's board i think it gives them pores about whether they want to step into the spotlight when it confers upon you such aggressive behaviour and rhetoric. aggressive behaviour and rheterie— rhetoric. we will leave it there. thank _ rhetoric. we will leave it there. thank you - rhetoric. we will leave it there. thank you very i rhetoric. we will leave it. there. thank you very much rhetoric. we will leave it - there. thank you very much for joining us. president biden has also been speaking about the attack on nancy pelosi's house. he was what he had to say.— what he had to say. news re orts what he had to say. news reports indicate _ what he had to say. news reports indicate it - what he had to say. news reports indicate it was - reports indicate it was intended to be an attack on the house that nancy pelosi lives in. the third reiki person in the united states. —— the third ranking person. it is reported that the same chant was used by this guy they having custody.

that was used on january this guy they having custody. that was used onjanuary 6 in the attacks on the us capitol. i am not making this up, i can't guarantee but i can tell you what has been reported. the chant was where is nancy, where is nancy? where is nancy? this is nancy? where is nancy? this is despicable. there is no place in america, there is too much violence, political violence, too much hatred. the white house has announced that president biden will travel to egypt next month for a major un conference on climate change. it said mr biden would attend the cop27 summit, before heading to cambodia and indonesia. more than 200 governments have been invited to the meeting. earlier this week, britain's new prime minister, rishi sunak, said he wouldn't go — prompting criticism from opposition parties and environmental groups. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: tributes are paid tojerry lee lewis, one of the leading

for the debate just a short time ago. the far—right incumbent jair bolsonaro and the left—wing former leader, luiz inacio lula da silva are facing off ahead of sunday's vote. polls suggest lula has a small lead after an acrimonious and divisive campaign. but the race is so close, analysts say the debate could tip the result either way. our south america correspondent, katy watson, sent this report from sao paulo on the campaign so far. chanting in portuguese. these past few weeks on the road have been noisy and relentless. both lula and bolsonaro are well aware this has become a tight race. his support underestimated ahead of the first round, bolsonaro's camp came into the second round feeling confident, and rival lula knows this won't be an easy win, even if the polls put him in the lead for now. party shop ownerjanaina is hoping for celebrations of her own this weekend. she has little faith

in the polls and is convinced bolsonaro will win it. translation: i don't believe in the polls. l i go to the demonstrations and they are peaceful, it's beautiful. the green and yellow colours, families, children, babies in buggies. so the streets say the exact opposite of the polls. if you just looked at the demonstrations across brazil, you'd see it's so different. in a campaign so prone to fake news, it's taken on even bigger dimensions these past few weeks. there have been accusations of satanism, even cannibalism. this second round has descended into a holy war as the candidates vie for millions of religious votes. lula has traditionally had more support from catholic voters, and bolsonaro the ever—growing evangelical community. valdinei ferreira is one of the few evangelical pastors who thinks bolsonaro has gone too far. translation: faith has been seized upon as a political - identity, and people end up

validating the christian faith of someone based on the political choices they make. i'm choosing to vote for lula because he just wants to be president. bolsonaro is a candidate to be god. politics has never felt so heated. felipe's family has owned this newspaper stand for three generations, but much has changed. no political chit—chat with his customers — it's all become too personal. translation: sunday will be a watershed moment i when we decide whether to continue with the same politics we have now, or go back to one we knew in the past. people feel they are deciding between good and bad, and that doesn't exist. i think the country deserves the politicians they elect. but will those politicians respect the results? jair bolsonaro has regularly attacked the voting system, offering up baseless allegations of fraud. there's concern that so—called tropical trump could follow in the footsteps of his friend in the north.

this weekend brings to an end what's often been a bitter and personal campaign, a battle between two huge populist politicians at either end of the political spectrum. whoever wins, though, will have a huge job on his hands trying to govern this deeply divided country. amid an intensifying economic crisis in brazil, the political drama is far from over. katy watson, bbc news, in sao paulo. arsenal's pablo mari faces at least two to three months out of football after being stabbed on thursday in a supermarket in the northern italian city of milan. the footballer is on loan from arsenal to the club ac monza. one person died and five were wounded in the attack. italian police have detained a 46—year—old man with mental health issues. aruna iyengar has this report. it could have been much worse. spanish —— spanish football player pablo mari says he feels

from all of us on the team, thanks for your company, we will see you next time. 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 feel 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 summer time. 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 mid to upper teens. there are weather changes on the way next week and we will still have areas of low pressure more weather fronts coming in and indeed, it gradually turns weather to the end of the day across the south and west 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 with what we've had.

this is bbc news. the headlines: a new wave of violence has broken out in iran, with security forces firing on anti—government protesters. iranian state media says one person has been shot dead in the south—eastern city of zahedan, while 14 people, including members of the security forces, were wounded. police in california have charged a man with the attempted murder of paul pelosi — the husband of the us house of representatives speaker nancy pelosi. mr pelosi is recovering in hospital from serious injuries after the man broke into their home and attacked the 82—year—old. the two candidates in the running to be brazil's next president, jair bolsonaro and luiz inacio lula da silva, are facing off in an all—or—nothing televised
