at a halloween event in seoul. music plays. and how the rock band coldplay is offering its support to protesters in iran. it's official, the left of centre politician luis inacio lula da silva, commonly known as lula, has won brazil's presidential election, snatching victory by a tiny margin from the right—wing incumbent, jair bolsonaro, who had an early lead as the first votes came in. the final tally was just 50.8% to lula. these are live images from brazil. crowds of mr lula's supporters have been celebrating in the streets. this represents an amazing comeback for the former president, who three years ago,

was serving a prison sentence for corruption — his conviction was later overturned. but the contest reflected how deeply polarised brazil is. mr lula spoke after the win was announced. translation: i have faith in god that with the help l of the people we will find a way out so this country may live again democratically, harmoniously, and we can even re establish peace between families. today, we are telling the world that brazil is back, that brazil is too big to be relegated to the set role of pariah of the world. next let's hear from some of lula's supporters. translation: i want jobs, i

difficult, achieving everything he want to do. it will be a huge job for lula, but certainly people here, pleased he's back and at least he can make a start in changing brazil. people here talk about the fact that they want to leave behind anger and they want to leave behind hate, but it is a very divided country and trying to unite this country will be lula's biggest challenge. this result will have a significant impact on policy affecting the amazon rainforest. deforestation in 2021 rose to the highest level since 2015 in brazil's cerrado region, prompting scientists to raise the alarm over the state of the world's most species—rich savannah. lula da silva had vowed an environmental overhaul of government policy when campaigning, and used his first hour as president to discuss the climate crisis. dr mercedes bustamante is an ecologist at the university of brasilia in brazil and told

me about what he has said. this first speech was quite important, he committed to get zero deforestation to curb illegal activities in the amazon region and also to protect the rights of indigenous peoples in traditional communities, these are quite huge challenges, especially because now we have a parliament, that is much more conservative than it was when lula was president before. but again, we have hope that the executive branch now have more power, and it can get more enforcement of the environmental law into the regions so it can get the control of deforestation back. he said that he would try and get deforestation down to zero but he has been president before but he did't manage it then, what does he need to do now, how is it even possible to get to that figure? in his speech he mentioned to get more international collaboration to save

the amazon region, to know more what to do in terms of controlling the deforestation and also how to use the amazon biodiversity to build a new bio economy for brazil, so we can replace this predatory activities for a new economy for the amazon region. this is quite a welcome step, in the first term of lula the deforestation rates goes down to 80%, but this was mainly due to the law enforcement who could not replace the traditional economic activities in the region by new economic activities of biodiversity, this is now the step he must take to get the zero deforestation commitment in place. how much international support is there to achieve that goal and what can the international community do, because the amazon is so often referred to as the lungs of the world, it in all our interests for brazil to reach that goal and be supported in doing so?

the amazon region is recognised as one of the tipping point elements of the climate system, so the whole globe is dependent on the conservation of the amazon region, so i think that we can get a lot of international support, trying to improve the situation of the people there, and restore the confidence that brazil is able to protect the amazon, for the world. the authorities in the indian state of gujarat have promised a full investigation into the collapse of a pedestrian suspension bridge. at least 130 people are now known to have died in the disaster. it was only reopened last week after extensive renovations. 0ur bbc south asia editor anbarasan ethirajan has more. a sunday outing turned into a nightmare, the pedestrian suspension bridge in morbi city collapsed, plunging hundreds into the river. within seconds, a popular tourist attraction became

the scene of a disaster. people desperately clinging on to the cables and safety net to avoid falling into the river. a local official said most of those who died were women, children, and the elderly. translation: many children were enjoying holidays - for diwali and they came here as tourists. all of them fell, one on top of the other, the bridge collapsed due to overloading. people from nearby areas and emergency teams rushed in to rescue stranded people. the 230 metre colonial area bridge reopened to the public only last week after extensive renovations. translation: the accident took place at 6:40pm - and the bridge collapsed. some people who were moving on the bridge got injured while others fell

into the water beneath. we started rescue work immediately and took the injured people to the hospital. indian prime minister narendra modi who is in his home state of gujarat on a three day visit said he was deeply saddened by the tragedy. the government has announced compensation for the injured. questions will be asked to try to establish what went wrong and why so many people were allowed on the pedestrian bridge. the gujarat government has ordered an investigation. for now many families will be grieving and many others will keep looking for their missing relatives. anbarasan ethirajan, bbc news. in other news, the south korean president, yoon suk—yeol, has visited an altar in the capital, seoul, to pay his respects to the victims of saturday's halloween stampede. more than 150 people were killed, and dozens injured in a narrow alley, in the popular itaewon district.

south korean investigators say they don't yet understand the circumstances that led to the crush, but the government has promised a thorough investigation, into one of the country's worst—ever disasters. 0ur correspondent, jean mackenzie, sent this report from seoul — you may find parts of it distressing. as the bodies are counted and the victims identified, devastating accounts of seoul's halloween night of horror are emerging. 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 translation: | wasj pushed from behind. i got scared and tried to move to

this is almost as hard to hear. 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. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: plundered by the nazis. the exhibition devoted to works of art looted during the second world war. the israeli prime minister, yitzhak rabin, the architect of the middle east peace process, has been assassinated. a 27—year—old jewish man has been arrested and an extremistjewish organisation has claimed responsibility for the killing. they voted on a historic day for australia. they are being held somewhere inside the compound,

they will all die. anywhere in the universe, and itjust seems to keep on going. of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals. this is bbc world news, the latest headlines: brazil's left—wing former leader, luiz inacio lula da silva, is making a dramatic return to power after narrowly beating the far—right incumbent jair bolsonaro in the presidential election. a full investigation into the collapse of a bridge

the president of iran and the head of the country's powerful revolutionary guards, have issued their strongest warnings yet that nation—wide protests must end. and while protesters carried on with their demonstrations in more than a dozen university campuses, they were met with a violent crackdown by security forces. hundreds of people have been killed since the death of mahsa amini in police custody. 0ur news reporter azadeh moshiri says it's a rachetting up of the crackdown. certainly, they've been more heavy—handed on university campuses where protests continued over weekend. there has been footage of gunshots heard in a lot of these videos, with students starting out with peaceful protests, and then suddenly hearing them screaming and running away as militias and riot police have turned up. but, while hundreds have been killed in the last few weeks — and i certainly don't want to underplay how brutal and violent this crackdown has been — this hasn't reached the full capacity of the islamic republic has for violence.

certainly in 2019, there was a quick, sudden, violent surge of killings, and those were protests that didn't have quite the same momentum as the protests we see now, so this does portray a certain amount of hesitancy by the islamic republic in terms of how they can respond to protesters, who are mainly women, students and schoolchildren, who aren'tjust asking for one or two reforms — they are challenging the entire system and regime as a whole. and there is also a question about how far the security forces on the ground are willing to go, if they will follow those orders. we have certainly seen videos of security forces following protesters rather than confronting them. we've also seen strong international support for these protests. part of it focusing around a protest song, an anthem that's become very popular. we have seen it performed by the british band, coldplay, in recent hours,

what's going on there? yes, they did perform it by bringing on an iranian actress who sang along to the original song by shervin hajipour during that concert in argentina. that song has been sung by people within and outside of iran. it's about all of the things protesters are marching for, and it pieces together, in the lyrics, tweets by the protesters, themselves, saying things that they want, like dancing on the streets. they are doing this because of the fear of kissing in public, and of course they talk about women, life, freedom. it is worth listening to a clip of that performance. gentle guitar strumming singing

now, shervin hajipour who wrote that song was actually detained and arrested a few days after it was released. and he was then allowed to leave, but he made a statement that many believe was coerced, but he said he did not want his song used politically. either way, that does show the international support you're talking about, and the fact that people outside of iran are reacting to the fact that women and schoolchildren are marching for many of the freedoms that we don't even think about. philippine officials say the number of dead from a vast tropical storm that hit the country over the weekend has risen to 98. dozens more were injured. most of the casualties were on the southern island of mindanao which experienced severe flash flooding and landslides. bridges, roads, and crops have been destroyed. in 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. 0ur 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. they're 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 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 that 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 the job, 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. 0pposition 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, and to do so for the sake 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 the job. ione wells reporting. a new exhibition's opened in

the french city of strasbourg — showcasing dozens of artworks looted by the nazis during the second world war. an unknown number of paintings and sculptures were stolen by hitler's regime, and many remain unaccounted for. the bbc�*s tim allman has the story. works of art, works of plunder. portraits, still life, each and every one of them stolen from their rightful owners. this exhibition is a reminder of humanity's capacity, both for creativity and cruelty. translation: you should know there were two privileged - recipients from the looting. first of all, there was hitler's project for a central museum in linz, very close to his hometown. then the second one, and you have to imagine it was pure theft, it was for goering's private collection. archive: in this aladdin's cave of stolen art treasures, - everything that glitters is gold. no—one really knows how many

works of art were looted during the war. tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, some taken from occupied countries, many taken from jewish families. after the war, some of the looted art was returned to its original owners, assuming they could be tracked down or were still alive. translation: the ideal goal would be that at the end - of this exhibition, the artworks would not return to the walls of their respected museums, but they would be returned to the descendants of their legitimate owners. nearly 200 artworks since the 1950s have been returned to their rightful owners. the exhibition runs until may next year, and its organisers say they won't stop trying to find the original owners of this art. they say insist it's a mission and, above all else, a moral duty. tim allman, bbc news.

lindy moore find us —— plenty more on the website. finals on social media. hello. it's still very mild out there and we've got another mild day on the way for monday. after that, it does look as though the temperatures will return at least closer to the seasonal norm. it's not going to be cold, though, that's for sure. we have rain in the forecast for the trick—or—treaters, as well. most of us will get the rain later on today, some of us will have the rain already in the morning, for example in northern ireland and you can see the weather front here approaching earlier on, on the satellite picture. here it is but ahead of it, you can see clearer weather across the bulk of the country, certainly in england, wales, and eastern parts of scotland. so, through the early hours, lots of clear weather out towards the east, some showers out towards the west, and here is the weather front crossing ireland. the morning temperatures will range from around 1a degrees along the channel coast, to 12 in liverpool,

and around 10 degrees in glasgow, edinburgh, and also aberdeen. 0nto the forecast for monday morning, that rain reaches eventually belfast, the western isles of scotland. there will be some showers ahead of it in north west england, but elsewhere a bright if not sunny start and a very decent afternoon, with some sunshine for birmingham, for hull, for newcastle — here around 15 or 16 degrees. but notice showers start to appear on the south coast, come the middle of the afternoon, and as the afternoon wears on, it does look as though those showers will spread further northwards, into wales, too. they will become more extensive, so, yes, as i say, for some of the trick—or—treaters, we are forecasting rain. here's tuesday's weather map. it looks rather complicated. an area of low pressure, with weather fronts sweeping across the country. there will be a noticeable breeze, that's for sure. it is going to be a changeable day, a real mixed bag, but particularly gusty, i think, come the evening along the english channel. temperatures between 12 degrees typically in scotland and northern ireland, to around 15 or 16 in east anglia and the south—east on tuesday. let's have a look at

wednesday's forecast. earlier on i think there will be some fine weather, and eventually this autumn low is going to sweep in, off the atlantic. you can see extensive rain there with that area of low pressure, and gusty winds, certainly gale force winds around the coasts, but i think eastern areas could hang onto the dry weather for most of the day. so, here is the outlook for the week ahead, from monday into friday. you can see that steady decline in the temperatures, from 18 degrees in london to around 13 or 1a, and about the low teens further north.
