thousands packed onto the streets to party... ..until this narrow alleyway became so crowded, people were crushed to death. nuhyil ahammed was in the alley. he managed to climb onto a platform to safety, where he watched the horror play out. there's no way you can breathe. so, everyone lifting up, like... he gasps for air. ..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. one guy, he know that his friend has died, but he was still giving cpr for next 30 minutes. and his friend was trying to stop him, but he was still doing it. translation: | wasj pushed from behind. i got scared and tried to move to the side, but i couldn't. i was stuck there for two hours. i felt like i was going to die.

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. i and i turned 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 mackenzie with that report. at least 80 people have died after a pedestrian suspension bridge collapsed in the western indian state of gujarat.

tonight, we proved once more that the true strength of our nation this is newsday on the bbc. our headlines... luiz inacio lula da silva, the left of centre challenger in the brazilian presidential election, has scored a narrow win over the incumbent, jair bolsonaro. national mourning in south korea, after 154 people are crushed to death at a halloween event in the capital seoul. in the uk, a border force

immigration facility in dover has been attacked by a man who threw at least two firebombs before driving away. police say two people suffered minor injuries. the suspect appears to have then taken his own life. our correspondent matt graveling reports from dover. this entry point for thousands of migrants coming to the uk, many fleeing from war, came under attack today. at 11:20am, a man in a white car threw three incendiary devices at this building. two of them burst into flames. his motive remains unclear. and then it was at this petrol station on limekiln street on the seafront in dover where the man drove a white vehicle, which you can just about see behind my right shoulder under a blue tarpaulin. the fire brigade have turned up and putting a tent over that and two forensic officers from kent police have turned up to gather evidence. kent police have said the suspect has been identified and his next of kin are being informed. this evening, police remained at the petrol station looking

for answers as to what had led to today's's events. the attack comes just hours after reports that almost 1000 migrants arrived in dover yesterday. there has been criticism of the conditions they are kept in. the conservative mp for dover said tensions had been rising in the area. i raised my concerns about the rising level of tensions with the immigration minister earlier this week. it's absolutely vital that we get a grip of this issue and that the boats are stopped from leaving france, and that is what now needs to happen, and i think that is a conversation between the british prime minister and president macron. the investigation into what happened here is being led by kent police and not counterterrorism officers. and home office minister robertjenrick says he is being updated by the force. the home office said they were aware of the incident today, but are unable to comment further at this point. matt graveling, bbc news.

well, that incident and the wider issues with arrivals in small boats and how people are handled come as the uk home secretary suella braverman continues to face questions about the account she gave over sending sensitive government documents on immigration to people unauthorised to see them. here's our political correspondent ione wells. a week in thejob, and not a day without major questions. suella braverman's insisted she proactively told officials after she made two data breaches that led her to resign from liz truss's government. but evidence seen by the bbc throws doubt on that. we now know the original message she sent from her private e—mail to the office of another mp containing sensitive information, was sentjust before 7.30 on 19th october. at 8.30, they responded, pointing out her mistake. at 10am, she replied saying, "please delete the message and ignore".

the bbc understands two hours passed before she told officials what had happened. a source close to suella braverman said this delay needs to be seen in the context of her packed schedule, and cabinet colleagues have said she deserves a second chance. suella apologised for the mistake she made and indeed resigned from government. but the prime minister has made it clear that suella deserves a second chance and i'm glad suella is in cabinet, because she's a first—rate front rank politician. this government will have integrity. concerns about her are causing a political headache for the new prime minister after he promised to lead a government of integrity, but was forced to spend his first prime minister's questions defending her. 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. opposition parties disagree, and labour want to try and force

the government to share any information given to the prime minister before her reappointment. rishi sunak should be replacing her. it was an error ofjudgment to appoint her to this - immensely seriousjob, i and to do so for the sake l of the political dealjust in order. to get his way into number tenjust shows a carelessness towards those national security issues. _ some conservative politicians, too, have raised eyebrows about the message her reappointment sends. i understand why the prime minister wanted to bring her back. i think he does need to be very careful about the signals it's sending about the ministerial code. the home secretary's in—tray is growing, with issues around crime, policing and immigration to tackle. the petrol bomb incident at a migrant processing centre in dover today. concerns about overcrowded conditions and disease outbreaks at the manston migrant processing centre in ramsgate. these are just two issues that mps will want to hear ms braverman respond to next week,

while some of then continue to question whether she is the right person for thejob. ione wells, bbc news. ione wells reporting. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines.... the president of somalia says at least a hundred people were killed and 300 wounded — in two car bomb blasts outside the education ministry in mogadishu on saturday. witnesses say the car bombs struck within minutes of each other, the second as people and ambulances were arriving. the al qaeda—linked islamist group al shabaab admitted doing it — blaming the ministry for teaching children a christian—based syllabus. lebanon's health ministry has recorded 16 cholera deaths among 371 cases. the world health organization says there's been an unprecedented rise in cases of cholera around the world. since the start of the year, 29 countries have reported outbreaks of the disease. a vaccine programme has had to be suspended due to a shortage

in the global supply. thousands have been protesting in prague in the czech republic — in support of ukraine in its fight against the russian invasion. czech ministers are going to visit kyiv on monday — to hold meetings with their ukrainian counterparts. a bbc investigation has revealed how conspiracy theorists are spreading falsehoods about uk terror attacks and tracking down survivors to their homes and workplaces to see if they are lying about their injuries. one survivor of the manchester arena bombing is preparing legal action against a man who says he's spied on victims. the investigation was for bbc panorama and a radio 4 podcast by disinformation & social media correspondent marianna spring. there was a large blast from the left hand side. lisa bridgett is a survivor of the 2017 manchester arena terror attack. it's taken her years to come

to terms with her injuries. two years later, a conspiracy theorist turned up at the boatyard where she worked, posing as a customer with the aim of secretly recording her to see if she was lying about her injuries. they've got no right to do what they have done, taking our stories individually and ripping them apart. today, i've started off on myjourney to go around all of these places. that conspiracy theorist is called richard d hall. he's described how he tracked down lisa and other manchester arena survivors because he thinks the attack was staged. he makes money from promoting his theories in talks, online videos and even a book. messages seen by the bbc show how online abuse citing these types of conspiracies have been sent to those affected by uk terror attacks. a representative survey of 4,000 people carried out by king's college london suggest the pandemic has made this worse, with a third saying it has made them more suspicious of official explanations of terror attacks.

a fifth think terror victims are not telling the truth about what happened to them. those people susceptible to conspiracy beliefs have been egged on, in some sense, because of covid. we were all stuck in our homes, online, desperate for information. for one survivor, enough is enough. martin hibbert, who was seriously injured in the manchester arena attack with his daughter, eve, is preparing to bring libel action against hall, who says he spied on eve from a vehicle outside her home. i'm all for freedom of speech and all that, but it crosses i the line when you are saying i'm an actor or i've not got - a spinal cord injury, l or eve's not disabled. she is not in a wheelchair. i visited the market stall where hall works. he insists i am wrong about how he operates. you are profiting from the worst day of these people's lives. do you realise that? how does that make you feel? if you read my book, all the answers are in there. i have looked at your book and in there there are claims

about the victims that are contrary to the evidence. richard hall has since posted a new video saying he didn't put a camera outside the home of eve hibbert but admitted to leaving a camera rolling in his van, parked in a public place. he says his door to door inquiries are polite, that he and others promote. the iranian president ebrahim raisi has repeated his warning — as university students have continued their protests across the country. earlier authorities had warned to end demonstrations by today. videos shared online show confrontations between students and members of the government—linked basij paramilitary force on a number of university campuses. well, the protests in iran have been followed around the world with celebrities joining the cause. the band coldplay have performed an iranian protest song

at a show in buenos aires. the song was first posted on social media a month ago by iranian singer shervin hajipur. it has since become the unofficial anthem of the protests in iran. coldplay were also joined onstage by iranian actress and singer golshifteh farahani. here's coldplay�*s frontman chris martin explaining why they decided to include it in the show. we are going to sing a song now that right now is being sung by many people in iran and many of the persian diaspora, people who left iran after the revolution. and i don't know if you have seen on the news but young women and young people are fighting for their freedom, for their right to be themselves, and we believe, as a band, that everybody should be able to be themselves, as long as you don't hurt anybody else, so we fully send our love and support to all of those brave young people fighting for freedom.

that's chris martin, and here is a little of that song. sings in farsi. let's return to brazil where the left—wing former leader of brazil, luiz inacio lula da silva, has won the presidential election over the far—right incumbent jair bolsonaro. with almost all the votes counted he leads mr bolsonaro by around two percentage points.

it marks a stunning return to power for the leader of the workers party, but the programme, thank you so much for watching newsday. hello there. it is still very mild out there, and another mild day from monday. it looks like temperatures will approach closer to the seasonal norm. we have rain in the forecast for the trick—or—treaters, most of us will get the rain later on today, some will have it already in the morning, for example in northern ireland. you can see the weather front approaching earlier on the satellite picture. you see the bulk of the rain in england, wales and eastern parts of scotland. also clear weather out towards the east, some showers out towards the west, and here's the weather front crossing ireland. the morning temperatures will range from around 14 degrees along the channel coast, to 12 in liverpool, and around

10 degrees in glasgow, edinburgh, and also aberdeen. onto the forecast for monday morning, that rain eventually reaches belfast, the western isles of scotland, but elsewhere a bright if not sunny start and some sunshine for birmingham, hull, newcastle, 15 or 16 degrees. showers start to appear on the south coast, the middle of the afternoon as the afternoon wears on, it does look as though there will be showers spreading northwards into wales which will become more extensive. as i say, for some of the trick—or—treaters we are forecasting rain. tuesday's weather map is rather complicated, low pressure weather fronts will sweep across the country, there will be a noticeable breeze, it will be a changeable day, a real mixed bag, particularly gusty come the evening along the english channel. temperatures around 12 degrees in scotland and northern ireland, to around 15 or 16 in east anglia

and the south—east. on wednesday i think there will be some fine weather, but the low will sweep in off the atlantic. that area of low pressure will have gusty winds, certainly gale force winds around coasts, but eastern areas could hang onto the dry weather for most of the day. here is the outlook for the week ahead in to friday, you see a steady decline in temperatures to around 13 or 14, and the low teens further north.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the journalist

and author shyama perera and the property and personal finance commentator anne ashworth. tomorrow's front pages. the metro leads with comments from lord dannat, a former head of the british army, who says ministers are not taking in national security seriously enough. according to the i, the prime minister could be about to u—turn and say he will attend next month's climate summit in egypt, after a backlash from many within the tory party. the daily mail leads with the incendiary devices thrown at a home office migrant centre in dover earlier today. the daily telegraph says the home secretary is considering plans to book individual rooms in hotels, rather than reserving entire hotels, to help ease overcrowding at asylum processing centres. the financial times leads with the war in ukraine, and the decision from russia to quit the deal allowing ukraine to export millions of tonnes of grain. experts say it could lead

to increases in globalfood prices and risked fuelling starvation in poorer nations.
