just over ten days ago. she has said that she rapidly reported her mistake, after she sent a sensitive document from her private email account. suella braverman was re—appointed to the post by rishi sunak when he became prime minister. here's our political correspondent, tony bonsignore. five days on from her controversial reappointment as home secretary, and the questions are mounting. suella braverman has insisted she proactively told officials after realising her mistake. but these latest revelations cast fresh doubt over that claim. we now know the original e—mail was sent atjust original e—mail was sent at just before original e—mail was sent atjust before 7:30am on the morning of the 19th of october in error to the office of another mp. at 8:30am, they responded back to the home secretary, pointing out the mistake. at 10am, she replied back, "please delete the message and ignore". that

last message, the bbc understands, was two hours before suella braverman herself told officials about what had happened. a source close to suella braverman said the mistake needs to be seen in the context of her packed schedule. senior ministers are rallying round. suella apologised for the mistake she made and, indeed, resigned from government but the prime minister has made it clear that she suella deserves another chance and i'm glad she is in government because she is a first rate politician. but she is in government because she is a first rate politician.— a first rate politician. but it raises questions _ a first rate politician. but it raises questions about - a first rate politician. but it| raises questions about rishi a first rate politician. but it - raises questions about rishi sunak's judgment in reappointing her as home secretary afterjust six judgment in reappointing her as home secretary after just six days. a decision he defended at his first prime minister's questions. the home secretary made _ prime minister's questions. the home secretary made an _ prime minister's questions. the home secretary made an error— prime minister's questions. the home secretary made an error of— prime minister's questions. the home secretary made an error ofjudgment l secretary made an error ofjudgment but she _ secretary made an error ofjudgment but she recognised that, she raised the matter— but she recognised that, she raised the matter and she accepted her mistake — the matter and she accepted her mistake. and that's why i was delighted to welcome her back into a united _ delighted to welcome her back into a united cabinet... delighted to welcome her back into a united cabinet. . ._ united cabinet... labour is questioning _ united cabinet... labour is questioning the _ united cabinet... labour is

polls have opened in brazil in the final round of the presidential election. luiz inacio lula da silva from the workers' party came first in the initial round, four weeks ago. but the contest with his rival, the far—right presidentjair bolsonaro, is said to be tighter than expected. an offer has been accepted that could see wasps rugby club resume playing next season. wasps went into administration this month and were subsequently suspended from the premiership and relegated. a consortium that includes former players could now take charge of the men's and academy sides. the administrators say the deal is a significant step forward. and in the rugby union world cup, england's women have thrashed australia, seeing them through to the semifinal. they won 41—5 in pouring rain in auckland. jo currie reports. weather warnings in place, but with a world cup semifinal spot up for grabs, these england supporters

couldn't stay away. a clash against australia enough for them to brave the torrential rain. but not even the rain could dampen the spirits of captain sarah hunter. on her 138th international appearance, which makes her england's most capped player, she got her side off to the perfect start. in the trying conditions, it became obvious that this game wouldn't be about pace and precision, but power. marley parker leading the pack to increase england's lead, marley packer leading the pack to increase england's lead, scoring twice in quick succession. but whilst they dominated the first half, australia bit back, sliding in before the break to show their style. after the restart, the conditions improved, but england's resolve stayed the same as they relentlessly demonstrated their superiority. the world number ones barely made it into top gear. australia still amateur in status simply couldn't keep up. an impressive performance from the team and a memorable day for the captain. the most important thing today was about the team's performance and us getting that win against australia. now that it's happened,

i can maybe reflect a little bit, let it all soak in. the red roses now cruise into the last four. that's a 29th consecutive win. jo currie, bbc news, auckland. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. the next news on bbc one is at liz55pm, bye for now and have a good afternoon. good afternoon. england are through to the semi—finals of the rugby world cup, where they will meet canada, after a comprehensive win over australia. 41 points to 5, the final score on a very wet day in auckland, that also saw captain sarah hunter make history — the 37—year—old became england's most capped player and also the most

capped international player — with this, her 138th appearance. the most important thing today was about 13's performance and after getting that win to get into the semifinal. i have had the most amazing messages, so much love and support from friends, family, past team—mates, rugby greats, and it is all really humbling and i feel very grateful to have that and i've got a lot of messages now to reply too! now that it has happened, i can may reflect a little bit, let it also in and realise what it means. an offer has been accepted that could see wasps rugby club resume playing next season. the team has been suspended from the premiership — and will be relegated — because the club is in administration.

a consortium that includes former players could now take charge of the men's and academy sides, subject to approval. the administrators says the deal is a significant step forward. in netball, england have lost their series with australia after losing in game two, giving the diamonds an unassailable 2—0 lead. eleanor cardwell was the standout for the red roses with a0 goals, alongside 8 for helen housby, but it wasn't enough as the diamonds were dominant throughout. kiera austin was the pick of the aussie shooters with 22 scored, as they won by 56 points to 48. the final match of the series will be played in brisbane on thursday morning. and england's inaugural men's netball team made history this morning, playing their first ever international match against australia. unfortunately, the game didn't go their way — they lost 73—27. to football and one game is well

nderway in the scottish premiership. the leaders celtic are away to livingston. a short time ago, celtic were leading 1—0. hearts travel to ross county later. just two games in the premier league this afternoon. arsenal can go back top with a win over nottingham forest. manchester united host west ham later — that one at quarter past four. pakistan kept alive their slim hopes of qualifying for the semi—finals of the men's t20 world cup with a comfortable six—wicket win over the netherlands. the netherlands could only make 91—9 in their 20 overs with shadab khan taking 3 wickets. and pakistan reached their target with 39 balls to spare, with mohammad rizwan unbeaten on 49. pakistan now need to beat south africa on thursday and bangladesh next sunday and hope results go their way to progress.

another heavy weight clash under way at the moment. some superb bowling and fielding saw south africa restrict india to 133—9. india on the chase at the moment early into that one and you can follow that on the bbc sport website as well. in boxing, katie taylor is still the undisputed lightweight champion of the world. she retained the ibf, wba, wbc and wbo belts against karen elizabeth carabajal at wembley arena by unanimous decision. afterwards, promoter eddie hearn was again talking up the chances that taylor's next fight will be in her home country of ireland. max verstappen will start on pole for today's mexico grand prix. the world champion beat off competition from the mercedes pair of george russell and lewis hamilton, who will start just behind the dutchman on the grid in mexico city.

that's all the sport for now. more from the bbc sport centre throughout the afternoon. let's get more on the breaking story that a man has reportedly killed himself after throwing petrol bombs at a new british immigration border force centre in dover. this is being reported by the reuters news agency who had a photographer at the scene and witnessed the attack. i'm nowjoined by our correspondent sean dilley. what more do we know about this? the bbc what more do we know about this? tie: bbc hasn't verified what people have seen but a reuters photographer has described pretty dramatic scenes of a male turning up in a sports utility vehicle. the photographer from reuters said he threw three petrol bombs at the immigration

processing centre with fireworks attached to them but one he reports did not go off. he then says the male got into the vehicle and drove a short distance where he says he is believed to have ended his life. fire and rescue have confirmed that they did receive a call at 11:24am this morning. they did receive a call at 11:24am this morning-— they did receive a call at 11:24am this morning. what are the police doinu this morning. what are the police doing now? _ this morning. what are the police doing now? the _ this morning. what are the police doing now? the police _ this morning. what are the police doing now? the police will- this morning. what are the police doing now? the police will want l this morning. what are the police | doing now? the police will want to move quickly- _ doing now? the police will want to move quickly. they _ doing now? the police will want to move quickly. they have _ doing now? the police will want to move quickly. they have done, - doing now? the police will want to. move quickly. they have done, they were seen on scene pretty quickly. they will want to know who the male is, whether the registered owner of the vehicle is this gentleman or other wise. the vehicle is this gentleman or otherwise. they will liaise with people such as special grants and the met�*s county terror unit. what could motivate any incident but at the moment, just like the bbc, the

police's perspective will keep an open mind. for now, lots of questions that they will be seeking to answer very quickly indeed. thank ou. more now on our top story — south korea is in mourning after more than 150 young people were killed while out celebrating halloween for the first time since the pandemic. people have been laying flowers and paying their respects at the scene and president yoon has promised a thorough investigation into the crush in a narrow alley in the capital, seoul. so far we know that 153 people have died, most of them were teenagers or young adults in their 20s. 82 people are injured, some of those are in a critical condition. earlier i spoke to alexjensen who is a freelance journalist based in seoul. this was an area that was once rather isolated from the rest of seoul, very much a foreigner district or even a ghetto in certain areas. not necessarily the type

of ghetto 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 absolutely 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, itjust was not a comfortable place to be in the last few years. it seems there were tens of thousands of people there, many of them young people,

teenagers, people in their 20s, and it was the first time since covid that they were able to celebrate halloween and that's why such big crowds with there. yes. i moved from itaewon literally 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. but 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, within a few minutes, he did call back. we are talking about 100,000 people gathering in a small area, these alleyways were 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's still going to 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 particular stampede, a lot of people are waiting for answers on that. some people still trying to 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 that 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 our neighbourhood, this is a neighbourhood that has grown up, for many of us, in the last few years, changed a lot but it feels very much like home and somewhere like home, you don't get things like this happening. the only comparable disaster for korea is 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. alexjensen, a journalist

alex jensen, a journalist who lives in seoul. 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 beat 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. here's our correspondent sophie long. the fact that paul pelosi were subjected to such a brutal attack in the house behind me, when a man broke into the rear of the building and shouting, where is nancy? has brought home the vulnerabilities in the security provision for members of congress and their families. the fact it could happen to the husband of someone as wealthy and powerful as nancy pelosi, she is second in line to the presidency, has caused real alarm among congress members

and theirfamilies. just real alarm among congress members and their families. just to give you and their families. just to give you a sense of the level of threat they are facing, this attack happened on the same day as the department for home and security issued a warning that the united states was facing an increased threat from domestic extremists in the run—up to the mid—term elections. in the months after the violent insurrection on the capitol building in 2021, capitol police recorded more than 9000, 9500 threats against members of congress and is is notjust members of congress. election workers, federal law enforcement officers and supreme courtjudges have all had threats issued. the man suspected of carrying out the attack on paul pelosi has been arrested. he is 42—year—old david depape bay. he is 42—year—old david depape bay. he is being investigated by the authorities here, that is ongoing and one line of good news welcomed by both sides of the party divide is that paul pelosi, who is now 82 years old, is expected to make a

full recovery having undergone successful surgery yesterday. the race to become england's biggest winemaker is hotting up because of climate change. 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 wine gb, 8.7 million vines have been planted in the past five years and sales of vines rose 69% 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. droughts, highertemperatures, 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. so if the cycle is progressing faster then if we get a frost in may, it can be very damaging. ideal, no, but certainly becoming betterfor more regular ripening of the grapes. now the election in brazil. voting is under way in brazil — in the final round of the presidential election. leading the race is left wing former president luiz inacio lula da silva. trailing him is far—right incumbentjair bolsonaro — who cast his vote an hour ago, as you can see. but this has become a much tighter

race than expected — let's go live to sao paulo where we can speak to the bbc�*s south america correspondent, katy watson. this is a crucial race for the whole future of brazil.— future of brazil. absolutely. brazilians _ future of brazil. absolutely. brazilians today _ future of brazil. absolutely. brazilians today have - future of brazil. absolutely. brazilians today have a - future of brazil. absolutely. | brazilians today have a stark future of brazil. absolutely. - brazilians today have a stark choice between a far right politician who talks about family values, is popular with conservative and religious voters but also a man accused of undermining democracy, threatening the future of the amazon, versus lula da silva who once was one of the most popular politicians in the world. he lifted millions out of poverty but was embroiled in corruption scandals so has a real mixed legacy and you couldn't find more, the two characters who divide brazil more. it is a much closer race than we had in the first round, the first round looked like lula could have taken it

but in the end didn't and the support for bolsonaro was underestimated. even with a narrower margin going in with the opinion polls going in, there is everything to play for. brazilians on both sides are very nervous about the result will show in a few hours' time. i, ., ., result will show in a few hours' time. ., ., , , ., time. bolsonaro has been accused of ”residin time. bolsonaro has been accused of presiding over— time. bolsonaro has been accused of presiding over the _ time. bolsonaro has been accused of presiding over the destruction - time. bolsonaro has been accused of presiding over the destruction of - presiding over the destruction of the amazon rainforest. you are saying there is a chance he could get back in. saying there is a chance he could get back im— saying there is a chance he could netbackin. , , get back in. absolutely. if you look at one of the _ get back in. absolutely. if you look at one of the most _ get back in. absolutely. if you look at one of the most popular- get back in. absolutely. if you look at one of the most popular polls i at one of the most popular polls that came out overnight, 52% for lula, 48% for bolsonaro and there is a margin of error of about two points so that is why many feel it could go either way. the amazon is the biggest issue at stake when it comes to the world. under him deforestation has soared, he has tried to legalise illegal mining, he has the support, for the people of

the forest, many feel he does not support them. many feel he is not governing in their interest but at the same time, what most brazilians is worried about is something closer to home, poverty, one in four brazilian struggle to find three meals a day. it has been hit hard by the pandemic, the second highest death toll in the world so brazil is picking itself up and the economy and poverty is certainly on the main issue for brazilians going in to vote today. issue for brazilians going in to vote today-— issue for brazilians going in to vote toda . . , . ., ., , ., vote today. fascinating to see what ha ens. i vote today. fascinating to see what happens- i know — vote today. fascinating to see what happens. i know you _ vote today. fascinating to see what happens. i know you will— vote today. fascinating to see what happens. i know you will keep - vote today. fascinating to see what happens. i know you will keep us . vote today. fascinating to see what| happens. i know you will keep us up to date. let's ta ke let's take a look at the weather forecast. it has been very mild for the time of year but temperatures will be coming down a little bit for the

upcoming week as we see low pressure bringing more westerly winds and it will be very unsettled with rain and gales at times. this afternoon we have fairly gusty winds across the country, coming in from the south—west. fairly mild, not as warm as yesterday, any brightness reserved for eastern areas and then lots of showers for northern and western parts, some quite heavy and thundery, quite blustery around the irish sea coast. top temperatures of 17 degrees. another area of low pressure sweeps in on monday but ahead of it, not a bad day. one or two showers around, quite a bit of dry weather. could be a little bit mild here but very wet for scotland and northern ireland. could be some localised flooding issues here. further south and east, drier and brighter with top temperatures of 18

degrees. hello this is bbc news. the headlines: south korea is in a period of national mourning after more than 150 people were killed in a crush. sobbing. i turn around and i told the crowd, "you can't come this way, people are dying." the president of somalia says more than 100 people have been killed in two car bomb attacks on a government building. 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. but now questions about whether she has given an accurate description of what happened. she said she reported it straightaway and there are other reports as well that's, no, she didn't and was confronted on this. the polls open to choose either former left—wing leader

luiz inacio lula da silva orfar right incumbentjair bolsonaro
