hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. south korea is in mourning after more than 150 people were killed while out celebrating halloween. the crush happened after 100,000 people, many of them teenagers, gathered in one of the city's most popular nightlife districts for the first public halloween celebration since the covid pandemic. people have been laying flowers and paying their last respects at the scene and president yoon has promised a thorough investigation into the crush in a narrow alley in the capital, seoul. helena wilkinson reports. it began as a night of celebration. young people enjoying themselves in a popular nightlife area. then this. panic, horror, chaos. the scene after the deadly

crush was shocking. there were rows of bodies. cpr was performed on those on the ground, but for so many, nothing could be done. officials said most victims were in their teens and 20s. these 21—year—olds watched emergency services treat the many injured. they said the scene was like something out of a movie, that it was completely out of control. the crush happened as huge crowds, as many as 100,000, gathered for halloween. there were so many people to the point we were being crushed on the pavement, to the point where we had to spill onto the road where there were cars. no one really understood what was going on, but there were already several police cars at the scene in front

of itaewon station, and police standing on top of their police cars desperately trying to tell people to leave the area as soon as possible. reports say people surged into this narrow alley, which was packed. some have described a scramble to escape the suffocating crowd as people piled on top of one another. there were so many people. and i had to turn around, and i told the crowd, you can't come this way. people are dying. because i already knew. how bad it was. and people were being so rude, and i had to tell them that you can't come this way. and then it took so long for emergency services to arrive. a makeshift morgue has now been set up close to the scene.

there is now a grim process of identifying the dead. there are so many victims. this is an area that is hugely popular, notjust with locals but foreigners too. earlier, south korea's president visited the scene, and announced a period of national mourning. during his visit, he said his heart was heavy, adding that he felt responsible for people's lives and safety. exactly what caused the crush will be the focus of an investigation which has been started by south korea's president. right now, there is profound shock, distress and grief that a night of celebration ended with so many dead and injured. helena wilkinson, bbc news. the stampede occurred when a crowd surged into a narrow alley in a popular nightlife area in the city. 0ur seoul correspondentjean

mackenzie sent us this update. this community centre is where so much of the grief has been playing out today, because this is where families are coming to report their missing loved ones, and it's here where they find out if they're on the list of people who are known to have died. and while we've been here, we've seen people receive this terrible news. others have turned up and been given no news, and this will be almost as hard to process. i spoke to one mother who is 22—year—old son who was working in itaewon last night in one of the clubs, she didn't hearfrom him, she still hasn't heard from him and she has been calling him ever since. back at the scene where i was earlier, we are starting to get more details of what happened in that narrow and overcrowded alleyway where the crush started. i spoke to one man who was in the alleyway during the crush. he had managed to get to the side and climbed up

to a platform to stay safe, but he saw a lot of what was happening. he described how people were so packed in that they couldn't move. they then started being pushed one way and another. people were pushed to the floor, and some people, he said, were squeezed so tightly that they couldn't breathe. he told me how he watched people gasping for breath, trying to get some air into their lungs. the president of south korea also visited the scene earlier today, and he spoke of his own grief that he is struggling to deal with. he said that he is devastated. there will of course be an investigation into what went wrong, and the questions for authorities really are how was this crowd allowed to get so out of control, and what could have been done to stop this terrible tragedy. but for now the country is mourning the death of so many of its young.

i'm joined now by alexjensen — he's a freelance journalist based in seoul. i think you used to live in this area where it happened. tell us about the area and those narrow alleyways. i about the area and those narrow alle a s. ., about the area and those narrow alleyways-_ about the area and those narrow alle as. ., _,. alleyways. i would say they sprang u . alleyways. i would say they sprang up organically _ alleyways. i would say they sprang up organically over _ alleyways. i would say they sprang up organically over a _ alleyways. i would say they sprang up organically over a long - alleyways. i would say they sprang up organically over a long period l alleyways. i would say they sprang| up organically over a long period of time. this was an area once rather isolated from the rest of seoul, very much a foreign district or even and ghetto, not necessarily the type of get so you would associate with some parts of the world, it is relatively safe but it is not a place where a lot of koreans would congregate. in recent years that has changed. the image has been somewhat gentrified and since i first moved there in 2010, i noticed halloween became more and more bustling, and i would often take my young children there to see the halloween celebrations. there were often a lot

of interesting sights and my kids love it. it was like a live halloween show but it got more and more crowded, so that yesterday when me and some friends were discussing what to do that evening, i remember saying, let's not go to itaewon because it is not really fun with the crowds. saying that i had no idea of a tragedy coming, it was not a comfortable place to be in the last few years. it a comfortable place to be in the last few yew-— a comfortable place to be in the last few years. it seems there were tens of thousands _ last few years. it seems there were tens of thousands of _ last few years. it seems there were tens of thousands of people - last few years. it seems there were tens of thousands of people there, | tens of thousands of people there, many of them young people, teenagers, people in their 20s, and it was the first time since covid they were able to celebrate halloween and that's why such big crowds with there.— halloween and that's why such big crowds with there. yes. i moved from itaewon a week _ crowds with there. yes. i moved from itaewon a week ago _ crowds with there. yes. i moved from itaewon a week ago to _ crowds with there. yes. i moved from itaewon a week ago to my _ crowds with there. yes. i moved from itaewon a week ago to my current - itaewon a week ago to my current home which is in a neighbouring city. i was there a few days back for the global food festival which

was also the first one of those since covid and that was very busy, but again, more uncomfortable than dangerous feeling. it perhaps was a signal what would come for halloween. everyone knew it would be busy. my own son was working in a restaurant in itaewon, we were not able to get hold of him initially but thank god he did call back. we are talking about 100,000 people gathering in a small area not built for those crowds. i am not sure what police could have done because if you're pushing them out of an area, there will still be a push somewhere and it is a bit like the massive protests we have seen in recent years in seoul where there were millions gathering, that was also uncomfortably pressed. but what happened in that alleyway that because that stampede, a lot of people are waiting for answers on that. people are waiting for answers on that, , ., ,

people are waiting for answers on that, , .,, , people are waiting for answers on that. , .,, , , ., that. some people still trying to net in that. some people still trying to get in touch _ that. some people still trying to get in touch with _ that. some people still trying to get in touch with loved - that. some people still trying to get in touch with loved ones, i get in touch with loved ones, family, friends who are missing who they don't know where they are. that's true. there is at least a dozen of the dead whose families have not yet been notified. i have seen a lot of people on social media putting out the word that they have a loved one or they know someone who has a loved one who is yet to be accounted for. there are said to be 37 people in a serious condition and sadly officials are concerned at the death toll will rise. this is very much and unfolding situation. i just... it is so bizarre, i think the feeling for me and a lot of people i know is this is up upfor few up for few yea rs, for a few yea rs, for a fi very ars, for change a lot but it feels very much like home and somewhere like home you don't get things like this happening. the only comparable disasterfor

happening. the only comparable disaster for career as the ferry disaster for career as the ferry disaster of 2014 and i was here reporting on that and that was horrific. consider they were school students, the survivors among whom would now be in their 20s, and most of the dead in this case were in their 20s. this is for that generation a double tragedy and psychologically, that will be a lot. thank you very much. a terrible day in south korea but alex jansen, thank you for your time. some breaking news and reports a man has killed himself after throwing petrol bombs at a new british immigration and border force centre in dover in kent. according to a photographer from the reuters news agency who witnessed the attack. we will bring you more information when we get it. but reports a man throwing petrol

bombs attached to fireworks at a detention centre in the south of england. the uk government minister michael gove has defended the new prime minister's decision to reappoint suella braverman as home secretary — just days after she resigned the post over a data breach. michael gove spoke out after new email evidence seen by the bbc appeared to question ms braverman�*s account of the timing of events leading to that resignation. 0ur political correspondent tony bonsignore gave me this update. controversial for a number of reasons. one is about what happened and suella braverman using her private e—mail address to send out very confidential and market sensitive information. but also about the judgment of rishi sunak in appointing her six days after she had to resign because of what had happened. the focus is what happened on that morning of the 19th of october. we know this e—mail was sent

in error around 7:50am that morning. at around 8:30am that morning, the recipient, a parliamentary member of staff, responded and said, you've sent this to me by mistake, in error, but what we also know is that ten o'clock, suella braverman responded, please delete and ignore. it's slightly woolly as to when exactly the cabinet secretary and the officials involved were informed and when suella braverman came forward, her allies tell us it was about noon, but if that is the case, why at ten o'clock is she sending an e—mail please delete and ignore? it casts further doubt on exactly what happened and her assertion that she told officials about what had gone on. michael gove, now levelling up secretary again, was asked about this on laura kuenssberg's programme this morning, this is what he said. i understand why people

are asking these questions. i am more than satisfied that in resigning, accepting responsibility, apologising and then in being assured by the cabinet secretary and the prime minister that suella braverman coming back was the right thing, that suella is now in position to do the work that she is dedicated to doing. pretty robust defence there from michael gove, saying, look, she has made the mistake, she said sorry, she has learned her lesson and moved on. but labour and opposition mps not convinced at all. this is labour's shadow home secretary yvette cooper on the same programme. it adds to the serious list of questions we now have about this reckless reappointment of suella braverman to be home secretary. there is obviously the initial breach of the ministerial code, the security lapses involved but now questions about whether she has given an accurate

description of what happened. she said she reported it straightaway, there are other reports as well that no, she didn't and was confronted on this and further reports of her being involved in other security leaks or security leak inquiries around both a case involving the security service and a case involving the leak of sensitive legal advice. the shadow home secretary. we have gone into some of the detail, let's look at the broader picture about why this matters. you said it is about the new prime minister'sjudgment. when he came into downing street, he said this would be a government of integrity, accountability and professionalism, so a lot of people asking why did he bring suella braverman back into a post she resigned from six days earlier? this is where it goes to. that was a surprise announcement to all of us. six days on from her having to resign over this. the smoke hasn't cleared

yet and he reappoints to the same position. to do that it has clouded his first few days and it is only days in office, and he might have hoped this would go away but it won't anytime soon, i expect it to be brought in the commons tomorrow. the suggestions have been that he needed her to win the leadership of the party. that's the suggestion of course and rishi sunak hasn't answered that directly. he was asked that at prime minister's questions this week. keir starmer said it was a grubby deal, but what had happened last week, when borisjohnson�*s had a bit of momentum behind his short lived campaign to become tory leader again, that it was suella braverman coming out for rishi that killed that momentum and rishi sunak was on the way to victory.

and the suggestion is in response to that, she gets the job of home secretary again. another question is how long do you have to go into the wilderness after you make a mistake like this? lots of people saying, six days? it's not a lot, is it? the headlines on bbc news... south korea is in a period of national mourning after more than 150 people were killed in a crush. uk government minister michael gove says the home secretary, suella braverman, deserves a "second chance" — after allegations of a security breach. shadow home secretary, yvette cooper, remains unconvinced. voters in brazil are heading to the polls to choose either former left—wing leader luiz inacio lula da silva orfar right incumbentjair bolsonaro as the next president. the european union has urged russia

to reverse its decison to suspend a deal allowing the export of ukrainian grain through the black sea. the kremlin has ripped up the agreement on food exports — blaming ukraine for a drone attack on the russia fleet in occupied crimea. hugo bachega gave this update from the ukrainian capital kyiv we know from un officials that no ships have been allowed to enter the black sea today. and again, a lot of pressure coming from the ukrainians, the un, western countries, trying to convince moscow to review this decision and to return to this deal. we heard from the eu foreign policy chief saying moscow should return to this deal, the us secretary of state said russia was weapon rising food and i think this is something similar to the reaction we have heard from the ukrainians. the foreign minister here said that

russia was using a false pretext to abandon this deal. for weeks the russians have been complaining that russians have been complaining that russian exports had faced obstacles, they had raised the possibility of abandoning this deal. president zelensky had accused the russians of making this decision weeks ago and he said four weeks the russians had deliberately delayed the transit of ships. he said more than 170 vessels had been waiting for a permit to enter the black sea, so no ships have been allowed into the black sea today following that announcement by russia. voting is under way in brazil — in the final round of the presidential election. voters are facing a stark choice between the right—wing incumbent jair bolsonaro and the left—wing

former president lula da silva. 120 people —— 120,000 former president lula da silva. 120 people ——120,000 people are expected to cast their ballots. the president of somalia says at least a hundred people were killed in two car bomb blasts outside the education ministry in mogadishu on saturday. witnesses say the bombs were detonated within minutes of each other, the second as people and ambulances were arriving to help after the first. the attack happened at the same intersection where a truck, laden with explosives, exploded in october 2017, killing more than 500 people. president hassan sheikh mohamud taking stock of the destruction and the somali capital. mogadishu was just getting over the last attack in august. translation: who were these victims? somali people recovering from the attacks five years

ago in the same area. some of them had injuries, some were disabled, some were orphans. some had lost relatives in previous attacks and others. he puts the blame on the islamist group al—shabab. he has vowed since he was elected inmate of wage an all—out war on the group. in the latest attack, two car explosions sent shrapnel flying near the education ministry. police say the first explosion hit the walls of the ministry while the second blast occurred as ambulances and onlookers arrived to help the victims. translation: iwitnessed the first explosion, - then i fled the area, as i was in shock because of the first blast. another explosion rocked the same area. there are deaths and injuries. islamist group al—shabab remains a potent force in somalia, despite multinational efforts to degrade its leadership. its fighters were driven out of the capital in 2011 by an african union force, but the group still controls swathes of the countryside, and has capacity to wage deadly strikes on civilian and military targets.

0nly last week, the group claimed responsibility for an attack on a hotel in the port city of kismayo which killed nine people and wounded 47 others. and in august, the group launched a 30—hour gun and bomb attack on the hyatt hotel in mogadishu, killing 21 people and wounding 117. the president has his work cut out. the country is suffering. in addition to violence, somalia is in the grip of the worst drought in almost 40 years. aruna iyengar, bbc news. the speaker of the us house of representatives, nancy pelosi, has said she's "heartbroken" and "traumatised" — after a man broke into her home in san francisco and attacked her husband with a hammer. in her first statement since friday's attack, she said paul pelosi's condition was improving, and thanked police for their "quick response". it's thought the suspect intended

to target nancy pelosi herself. the race to become england's biggest winemaker is hotting up. warmer summers are changing the shape of winemaking in europe. french champagne makers are buying thousands of acres of land in the south of england. according to the industry organisation winegb — 8.7 million vines have been planted in the past five years — and sales of vines rose 69 per cent between 2019 and 2021. earlier i spoke to the chief executive of wine gb, simon thorpe. he said that rising temperatures are a positive for british winemakers, but that they also bring challenges. anywhere south of where we are here in this country, that is becoming very troublesome and problematic. tryouts, higher temperatures, we have seen reports of forest fires and these are changing the shape of

winemaking in europe and around the world. the temperature rises are a positive but it does bring some challenges with regards to extra moisture in the summer and late frosts for example. if the cycle is progressing faster than we get a frost in may, it can be very damaging. ideal, no, but certainly becoming betterfor more regular ripening of the grapes. a reminder of our top story.... a period of national mourning has been declared in south korea where more than a hundred and fifty young people celebrating halloween were killed in a crush. the stampede occured after a hundred thousand people poured into seoul's nightclub district for the first public halloween celebration there since the covid pandemic. witnesses to the crush described being stuck down a narrow alley as people piled on top
