thousands of families in south korea are trying to trace relatives they fear might have died in a crush in the capital seoul. at least 153 people are known to have died, most of them teenagers and young adults celebrating halloween in an area full of nightclubs and restaurants. its thought the crush began in a narrow alley when people in the crowd fell over. as the bodies are counted and the victims are identified, devastating accounts of seoul's halloween night of horror are emerging. thousands packed onto the streets to party until this narrow alleyway became so crowded, people were crushed to death. this is where most people died. most people died here. this man was in the alley. he managed to climb onto a platform to safety, where he watched the horror play out.

at first, someone pushed from the back. then from here. it was, like, quite a few times, then i realised something's going to happen. there's no way you can breathe. so everyone lifting up, like... gasps. ..and that's what they're doing, like taking their last breath and things, so kind of suffocating. others describe how people fell to the floor like dominoes. i didn't sleep till now. i couldn't sleep because i see people dying in front of me. this nearby community centre is saturated with grief. families and friends come to register the missing. some get the terrible news that their loved ones are among the dead. waves were coming in from both sides. and more people fell, and i lost my friend. and i turn around and i told the crowd, "you can't come this way. "people are dying." for others, there's no information.

this is almost as hard to hear. this woman's son went to work at a club in itaewon last night. i went home. i didn't see him. he didn't come home. he's the only son, the only one i have. visiting the scene, the president, too, said he was struggling to process his grief. "something that should never have happened, happened," he says, an acknowledgement that things went horribly wrong. this footage from last year shows police controlling the crowds at the same spot this year. multiple witnesses say this didn't happen. the questions for authorities 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, this country is mourning the death of so many of its young.

jean mckenzie, bbc news, seoul. the bbc has seen an email which raises more questions about suella braverman's version of events surrounding her resignation as home secretary 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 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 suella deserves another chance and i'm glad that suella is in cabinet because she is a first rate, front—rank politician. but it raises questions about rishi sunak�*sjudgment 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 an error ofjudgment but she recognised that, she raised the matter and she accepted her mistake. and that's why i was delighted to welcome her back into a united cabinet... labour is questioning the judgment of the prime minister. rishi sunak should be replacing her. it was an error ofjudgment - to appoint her to this immensely serious job and to do _ so for the sake of a political deal just in order to get his wayl into number tenjust shows a carelessness towards those national security issues. - 0pposition parties are also raising security concerns about the home secretary's use of her personal e—mail, particularly in light of claims today that liz truss had her private messages hacked, when she was foreign secretary. urgent questions are likely to be raised in the commons when mps return tomorrow. tony bonsignore, bbc news. new research suggests there's a growing gap between the north

and south of people being able to afford their council tax. the financial education charity, the centre for financial capability, says freedom of information requests show households in the north owe almost triple the amount of outstanding arrears when compared to the south of england. the centre found that over 4 million households across the uk in the last five years have struggled to pay council tax and have found themselves in arrears. we can talk now to carol knight — chief executive of the investing and saving alliance. she's also a trustee of the centre for financial capability, who conducted this research. what were your findings? thanks for havin: me what were your findings? thanks for having me on _ what were your findings? thanks for having me on the _ what were your findings? thanks for having me on the programme, - what were your findings? thanks for having me on the programme, it's . having me on the programme, it's great to have the chance to talk about this. everyone in the country is concerned about the cost of living and obviously it is affecting some sections of society more than others. that is inevitable. 0ne concern we have, there's a lot of conversation about people choosing between heating and eating. that's a serious situation to be in. lack of finances impacts are many other

areas of life as well. earlier today in laura kuenssberg's interview with michael gove she was talking about the fact that people are falling behind with their rent. council tax is another regular payment people have to make on their housing when they rent or own. 0ne have to make on their housing when they rent or own. one of the problems is people's lack of financial resilience. even before the pandemic, research through the investing and saving alliance found over 22% of people in the country have savings of less than £100. it doesn't take much of a downturn in your life to really impact and quickly people fall into debt. we are looking at what areas of people's life are going to be impacted by this and rishi sunak has said hard decisions have to be make and it will be difficult for some time to come. the government

published the data and currently across the whole country there's £5 billion that's still outstanding in council tax arrears. that's a lot of money. what the government doesn't do is differentiate that across different parts of the country. we sent out a freedom of information request to the councils so we could look and see if there's any difference geographically and there is. households in the north on difference geographically and there is. householljust the north on difference geographically and there is. householljust the north in south it is just over £200 so there is a substantial d0 is a substantial difference. an if : ”t is easier but

of the for in place the have put in place the levelling up agenda and we are supportive of what can be done to level up those areas of our country that are suffering. there are many aspects to this. the scent itself is focusing financial education. when you the areas of high council overlay the areas of high council tax arrears with areas where there is financial education provided in schools, they correlate. there is less financial education given through the education system in the north of england and there is in the south. is there a causal link? the solutions will be different. for a large percentages of our country, i think we are all looking at interest at the budget that is coming up. you'll have to look at what are the long term solutions as well, and can we make a difference by providing

good quality, effective financial education in primary schools, then overlay that education in primary schools, then overlay the help informed, people make practical, informed, sensible financial decisions. 0ne people make practical, informed, sensible financial decisions. one of the other pieces of research done sensible financial decisions. one of the othe was ces of research done sensible financial decisions. one of the othe was ces of resear17%)ne sensible financial decisions. one of the othe was ces of resear17% of: sensible financial decisions. one of the othe was ces of resear17% of our summer was the fact that 17% of our country, people in our country, have never considered investing in stocks and shares. most people have their savings in cash. everybody needs cash savings, you need a cash pot so you can deal with emergencies, but even the financial conduct authority have said that if you have over £10,000 in savings, and i know £10,000 in savings, and i know £10,000 in savings as a lot of money, but if you did, then anything over and above that properly ought to be invested, because you are

saving for a longer term objectives, and over time most data will show you that money that has invested over a longer period of time will give you a better return than cash. what you get any cash savings account at the moment? 1% interest? inflation is running at 10%. cash savings are critical and essential for short—term emergency needs, but for short—term emergency needs, but for long—term savings investments are better. most people do not invest money, so why? i think it is because people are risk averse and loss of verse, and they get worried about making investment decisions. good to talk to you, thank you for getting us through those findings. kent police have confirmed that a number of incendiary devices were thrown into a border force centre in dover. there are reports that the person involved then drove to a petrol

station and killed himself — but this has not been confirmed. police say they have reports of one person suffering a minor injury. i'm nowjoined by our correspondent sean dilley. when they talk about a person suffering minor injuries, that someone inside the camp, as far as we know? we someone inside the camp, as far as we know? ~ .., someone inside the camp, as far as we know? ~ ., , someone inside the camp, as far as we know? ., _._ ., we know? we can only say what kent police sa , we know? we can only say what kent police say. will— we know? we can only say what kent police say, will take _ we know? we can only say what kent police say, will take a _ we know? we can only say what kent police say, will take a look _ we know? we can only say what kent police say, will take a look at - we know? we can only say what kent police say, will take a look at the - police say, will take a look at the statement. kent police were called at 11:22am on sunday 30th october 2020 due to the viaduct in dover. 0fficers establish that two or three incendiary devices had been thrown into a home office immigration premises, one minor injury has been reported, and are going to say the suspect has been identified and located. inquiries into the incident remain ongoing. that is important, because that is the factual statement. a reuters photographer has given a witness account, this has given a witness account, this has not been verified by bbc news, but they reported that a man turned up but they reported that a man turned up to the immigration centre in a

sports utility vehicle, had thrown three petrol bombs and fireworks attached at the immigration centre, and again that photographer said one of those had failed to go off. you described some of the details that we weren't going fully into earlier, but he suggested the man drove a short distance where it is believed that he did indeed end his life. what do we know about the centre? we have reports on saturday that 1000 people had arrived in that one day in kent, presumably they were not all have gone to that centre, but what do we know about it? we will look at the — what do we know about it? we will look at the numbers _ what do we know about it? we will look at the numbers and _ what do we know about it? we will look at the numbers and the - what do we know about it? we will. look at the numbers and the policies around. we know immigration is happens when people make the dangerous crossing from france. yesterday was a significant day in terms of numbers process, 994, nearly 1000. terms of numbers process, 994, nearly 1000-— terms of numbers process, 994, nearl 1000. , ., ., ., nearly 1000. they might not all have come yesterday. _ nearly 1000. they might not all have come yesterday, that _ nearly 1000. they might not all have come yesterday, that they _ nearly 1000. they might not all have come yesterday, that they were - nearly 1000. they might not all have come yesterday, that they were all i come yesterday, that they were all processed yesterday? the?

celebrating halloween. as the controversy grows over the home secretary suella braverman and allegations of security breaches, her cabinet colleagure michael gove says she "deserves a second chance". voters go to the polls in brazil — will they re—elect the hard right current president jair bolsonaro, or his left—wing predecessor luiz inacio lula da silva? 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. polls as you can see. opened about hours ago. the polls polls opened about hours ago. the polls in the first round are completely wrong, they suggested

that lula had a stonking lead over the incumbent, it turned out that he did have a lead, but a much more narrow one. earlier, my colleague ben brown spoke to our south america correspondent, katy watson , who was outside a polling station in sao paulo. brazilians today have a stark choice between a far right politician who is very popular with conservative and religious voters, but also a man who has been accused of undermining democracy, threatening the future of the amazon, versus lula, one of the most popular politicians in the world at one time stop the lifted millions out of poverty, that was involved in corruption scandals, so has a mixed legacy. you certainly could not find to characters who divide brazil more. it is a much closer race than we had in the first round, the first round it looks like lula could have taken it in the first round, and the support for bolsonaro was underestimated. even

with a narrower margin going in with the opinion polls, there is everything to play for. brazilians on both sides are very nervous about what the results will show in a few hours' time. what the results will show in a few hours' time-— what the results will show in a few hours' time. ., ., ., ., , ., hours' time. bolsonaro amongst other thins has hours' time. bolsonaro amongst other things has been _ hours' time. bolsonaro amongst other things has been accused _ hours' time. bolsonaro amongst other things has been accused of— hours' time. bolsonaro amongst other things has been accused of presiding i things has been accused of presiding over the destruction of the amazon rainforest. you are saying there is a chance that you get back in? if you look at one of the most popular polls that came out overnight, 52% for lula, 48% for bolsonaro, there is a margin of error of about two points, so that is why many analysts feel it could go either way. the amazon is the biggest issue at stake when it comes to the world. under bolsonaro, deforestation has soared. he has tried to legalise illegal mining, the support he has for people of the forest is something

many feel he does not support them, he is not governing in their interest, but at the same time, what most brazilians are worried about is something closer to home. it is poverty, it is economy, one in four brazilian struggled to find three meals per day. it has been hit hard by the covid pandemic, it had the second highest death toll in the world, so brazil is picking itself up, and the economy and poverty are certainly on the main issues for brazilians were going to vote. that was the latest _ brazilians were going to vote. that was the latest on _ brazilians were going to vote. that was the latest on the situation in brazil. 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 theirfamilies. 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, and has her own security detail, has caused real alarm among congress members 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 warningland 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 it 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. 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 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.

claudia redmond reports. sevastopol and the latest salvo between ukraine and russia. russia says that drone attacks on the crimean port early on saturday were targeted against russian vessels employed for the security of ships carrying grain to countries desperate for food. sevastopol is strategically important to russia. it serves as the headquarters for russia's black sea fleet and logistical hub for operations in ukraine. ukraine has been swift to respond, saying russia is using the attack as a pretext to withdraw from the green agreement. from the grain agreement. how can russia be among others in the g20 if it deliberately works to create famine on several continents? this is nonsense. russia has no place in the g20. russia's un envoy tweeted a statement saying russia intended to suspend participation in the grain deal. he also alleged the attack took place with the support from the uk, something the uk's

ministry of defence has denied. washington in turn had accused russia of weaponizing food and in so doing directly impacting nations in need. the un grain deal struck injuly was a diplomatic coup. it allows ukraine to re—open ukrainian black sea ports for grain exports. already it's allowed nearly 9 million tonnes of ukrainian grain to be exported and was due to be renewed in november. ukraine is the world's fifth largest exporter of wheat. many countries from lebanon to ethiopia are suffering from the effects of higher grain prices as a result of the war. if russia does stop the grain flow, it will be a blow to these people and to resolving the russia—ukraine crisis. the deal had been viewed as a first step on the way to a possible ceasefire. the un has called for the preservation of the grain corridor, saying all parties must refrain from any action which would imperil it. claudia redmond, bbc news.

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 weaponising 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 russian exports had faced obstacles, they had raised the possibility of abandoning this deal.

president zelensky accused the russians of making this decision weeks ago and he said for 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. and in the rugby union world cup, england's women have thrashed australia — seeing them through to the semi final. they won by 41 points to 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 could not stay away. a clash against australia enough for them to brave the torrential rain. but not even the rain could dampen the spirits of the 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 would not be about pace and precision but power. 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. an impressive performance from the team and a memorable day for the captain. the most important thing today was about getting the team performance, getting that win against really are. now that has happened i can maybe let it all sink in. the red roses now cruise into the last four — that's their 29th consecutive wins. jo currie, bbc news.

now it's time for a look at the weather with stav danaos. it is not looking too bad, we will see deep areas of low pressure pushing up the atlantic, so we lose the southerly winds that have brought us the balmy mild air for the last few days. things will start to turn a bit cooler, and there will be spells of rain and gales four times. sunshine and if few showers, it would be running all the time. as a south—westerly wind through this afternoon, feeling plenty of showers into the north and west of the country, some of them heavy as well, one or two getting in towards the east. a better afternoon across the south—east, but not as warm. we have temperatures around 16 or 17 degrees. still mild, but not as warm as yesterday. as we head into monday, we will be attacked by two areas of low pressure, one will bring a lot of rain to northern ireland in western scotland, and then on later on monday night will

see rain pushing up into england and wales as well. on monday doesn't look too bad at all for much of england and wales, one or two showers, a little bit warm as well, up showers, a little bit warm as well, up to 18 degrees, the mid—teens further north.

hello, this is bbc news. the headlines. thousands of families in south korea are trying to trace relatives they fear might have died in a crush in the capital seoul, at least 153 people are known to have died, most of them teenagers and young adults celebrating halloween. i turn iturn around, i turn around, and i told the crowd, you can't come this way, people are dying. as mourners line the streets of seoul to pay their respects, south korea's president promises a thorough investigation.
