welcome to bbc news. lam rich i am rich preston. our top stories: gunfire a new wave of deadly clashes in iran, with security forces firing on anti—government protesters. 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 officers immediately entered, tackled the suspect, disarmed him, took of the hammer away from him and took the suspect of mr depape be into custody. the two candidates in the running to be brazil's next president are facing off in an all—or—nothing televised debate, ahead

of sunday's election. # goodness, gracious # great balls of fire! the british government will call a snap election and the music industry pays tribute tojerry lee lewis — one of rock and roll�*s all—time greats, who's died aged 87. hello and welcome to the programme. we begin in iran where there has been a new deadly wave of clashes. 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 crack—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, ayatollah ali khamenei. as the protests continue in various cities, human rights campaigners say there is now a serious risk of mass killings. robin brant, bbc news. right, let's go to the united states now. president biden has called an attack on the husband of leading us democrat nancy pelosi �*despicable'. police have charged a man with attempted murder in connection with the assault on paul pelosi at the couple's home in san francisco. mrs pelosi was in washington at the time. 0ur 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. 0ur 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 6 january 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. in the last few hours president biden has been speaking about the attack and here are some of what he said.— what he said. there are reports that the same _ what he said. there are reports that the same weapons - what he said. there are reports that the same weapons used i what he said. there are reports that the same weapons used in| that the same weapons used in the capitol riot attacks were used in this attack. the chant was where is nancy, whereas nancy? this is despicable. there is no place in america, there is too much violence, political violence, too much hatred. earlier i spoke to congressional correspondent for the new york times, catie edmondson. here's what she had to say. this attack, which everyone on capitol hill is absolutely horrified by, is really

an encapsulation of what, for years now, has become a nightmare scenario for many lawmakers. over the past six, seven years, particularly since former president donald trump was elected to office in 2016, members of congress have seen really an unprecedented uptick of violent threats lodged against them and theirfamilies coming through their offices. in fact, in the last six years capitol police said they have taken an increase of tenfold 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. how is this uptick in threats of aggression and violence being dealt with? are members of staff being offered increased police protection? one of the difficulties, one of the

dynamics that currently at play is that afterjanuary 6 and the attack on the capitol, capitol police had a tough time keeping police officers, keeping the number of staff that they needed in order to be able to process those threats. a spokesman for the capitol police, the agency in charge of keeping members of congress safe, 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 that many of these violent messages are being processed by 18, 19—year—old interns working on capitol hill who are answering the phones for these congressional offices every day and there is a lot of work placed on them as well. we don't know the full details. but we did hear the police spokesperson there 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. generally, lawmakers 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, dc, and thus her security detail was 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.

let's cross to sao paulo in brazil now and speak to dr luciana gatti, an environmental researcher who's written extensively on the amazon. thank you for being with us. a central theme to many people observing internationally here is the environment, perhaps less important for those in the country and we will come to that. but can you give us a sense of the impact on the environment afterfour sense of the impact on the environment after four years of bolsonaro's rule? the environment after four years of bolsonaro's rule?— environment after four years of bolsonaro's rule? the impact is terrible. bolsonaro's rule? the impact is terrible- we _ bolsonaro's rule? the impact is terrible. we regret _ bolsonaro's rule? the impact is terrible. we regret so, - bolsonaro's rule? the impact is terrible. we regret so, so - terrible. we regret so, so many, many years and decades developing politics to avoid deforestation, developing laws, and the many mechanisms to guarantee development without destroying the environment, without destroying the amazon. but actually, this government destroy everything, we almost don't have law enforcement, it

is like a land without law, where everything is allowed, deforest encumbered destroyed mining, poison the rivers, the food for people, and kill the indigenous environmental protectors, or people who live there because also guns is legalised, you can buy guns easily, then every people have guns. it is all full—time, and in our research, we observed during the first two years of bolsonaro government, emissions from the amazon is double, because law enforcement dismantling and deforestation increasing 80%. and this is compromising the carbon sink ability, it is compromising water cycle, because the amazon

represents very important part of water cycle,, the amazon river's water vapour into the atmosphere. but science for this government is like enemies, they don't listen to us, they gojust enemies, they don't listen to us, they go just looking enemies, they don't listen to us, they gojust looking money, they want to transform brazil into a big farm, to produce soybeans, corn and carols. crosstalk i am sorry to interrupt. how much of this is of concern for people voting in the elections?— for people voting in the elections? ., ., , , elections? for all people it is ca able elections? for all people it is capable to — elections? for all people it is capable to listen _ elections? for all people it is capable to listen to _ capable to listen to journalists, to see real news for everywhere it is important. but a part of the population it was slowly convinced that they cannot listen to journalists,

they cannot listen to television, and they only see the television that the government puts lots of money and tell the lies, you know, they say the deforestation is not too big, it is our lives. they retire our director because the numbers come and they say no, this is fake, and they say no, this is fake, and the people that live in this country use lots of religion to convince them, that is the same thing happen everything everywhere in the world. dr. thing happen everything everywhere in the world. dr, i am afraid _ everywhere in the world. dr, i am afraid we _ everywhere in the world. dr, i am afraid we are _ everywhere in the world. dr, i am afraid we are out - everywhere in the world. dr, i am afraid we are out of - everywhere in the world. dr, i am afraid we are out of time, | am afraid we are out of time, we will have to leave it there but thank you for your contribution, much appreciated. thank you very much. the rock �*n�* roll musician jerry lee lewis, whose hits included great balls of fire, has died at the age of 87. he was known for his wild performance and his scandalous personal life. his publicist said he was an icon from the birth of rock �*n�* roll. earlier i spoke tojem aswad,

the deputy music editor at variety. i asked him about the impact thatjerry lee lewis had on the music industry. his mark was enormous. he was one of the 0gs, original gangsters of rock �*n�* roll. you know, chuck berry, little richard, elvis, going way back, ike turner. he was one of them — and also like them, he kind of made his mark early. after the 50s he had hits but not as influential or explosive as his earlier ones, but he kept going, kept playing his hits for 60, 65 years. talk about him musically. this was from the building blocks, the foundations of rock �*n�* roll. how did his musical influence shape the genre that would grow over the next couple of decades? well, to give just one example, any rock �*n�* roll piano player bears a huge influence from bothjerry lee lewis and little richard. they are two of the greatest

piano players in rock �*n�* roll history, and it was a very physical, visceral way of playing piano. everybody knows his hits, great balls of fire, and all those songs, but i listened to something today i hadn't heard in years, that really, really shows that. and it's a live album recorded in hamburg, germany, at the star club, the place that incubated the beatles. 1964, 22 minutes long, eight songs, and it is the most explosive rock �*n�* roll record you'll ever hear, it's incredible. it is easy to talk about his successes and influences on the industry — but of course he wasn't perfect, some people would even describe him as notorious. would you describe him that way? laughs. yes, he was nuts! he was married seven times, he shot his bass player in the chest, who didn't even press charges, he trashed his rolls—royce

drunk driving, i mean it was just one thing after another with him. in a way that, you know, his cousin was the televangelist jimmy swagger, and i think he had the angel and the demon on his shoulder, and he listened to the demon. and he was one of these characters who was a very conflicted christian, in that he said "i am giving myself over to the devil", and he lived up to it. none of this was secret or hidden from public view. what was it about him that kept people interested in him and buying his music? well, they're straight stone—cold rock �*n�* roll classics, his earlier records. and there's a level of abandon in his playing, in his singing, especially in his piano playing, that you don't really hear in very many places. that level of energy, that level of, the way itjust makes you want to jump around the room, it is so exciting.

i felt that way listening to that live album today and i think that's what kept bringing people back — and also, he was the real thing. there are all these people who say they are big, bad rock �*n�* roll, you know, dangerous or whatever — he really was. everyjournalist i know who spoke to him admitted they were afraid. before we go, it has emerged that one of piet mondrian�*s most famous artworks has been hanging upside down for the last 75 years. it depicts the new york skyline and gets triggered toward the bottom of the painting. an old photo has revealed the mistake, but the curator of the german 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. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @richpreston. 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 south—west. much of the midlands, especially towards east anglia and the south—east, having a fine afternoon and this is where there will be some hazy sunshine in the south—east, lifting temperatures into the low 20s. 22 celsius in london compared with an average of 1a. rain into northern scotland and the evening, some showers pushing eastwards we go into to saturday night and into sunday morning. at night, of course, where you'll 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 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 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 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, while14 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 debate.

this is the last chance for the candidates to reach
