pressure is mounting on the home secretary over worsening conditions at a migrant processing centre in kent. conditions at the facility have been described as unacceptable. it's currently housing four times as many migrants as it's meant for. a facility designed to take comfortably 1500 people, and to move them on within 24 hours, has turned into a refugee camp housing 4000 people, and it's simply not fit for that purpose. the home office says record numbers of people arriving on small boats across the channel has put huge pressure on the asylum system. we'll be live in dover and at westminster. also on the programme... king charles sends his condolences to the families of those killed in the halloween crush in seoul.

a political comeback in brazil for the left—wing former president who has won back power by a narrow margin. and winding its way through the swiss alps, the longest passenger train in the world. 100 carriages, and stretching more than a mile. and coming up on the bbc news channel... ireland are beaten by australia at the t20 world cup, effectively ending their hopes of qualification, with problems for england too. good afternoon. the home secretary will make a statement in the commons this afternoon over worsening conditions at a migrant processing centre in kent.

the facility, at manston, is said to be dangerously overcrowded, with reports of an outbreak of diptheria. some 4000 migrants are being housed there even though it's meant for only up to 1600. more people were sent to manston after a petrol bomb attack on a separate migrant facility in dover. robin brant reports. we need your help. this video was taken yesterday. _ we need your help. this video was taken yesterday. young _ we need your help. this video was taken yesterday. young voices - taken yesterday. young voices shouting from inside manston processing centre. children being shooed away are among the 4000 or so who are crammed in at a facility designed to hold just 1600 people. migrants who have crossed the channel are supposed to stay here forjust hours, and there is evidence one family has been here for a month. the local mp has seen it for himself. fix, for a month. the local mp has seen it for himself.— it for himself. a facility designed to take comfortably _ it for himself. a facility designed to take comfortably1500 -

it is wrong to say suella braverman deliberately ignored advice. they are saying she took urgent action. but ijust think are saying she took urgent action. but i just think this will pile are saying she took urgent action. but ijust think this will pile even more pressure on the home secretary about why more urgent action wasn't taken to avoid the scenes we have just heard about.— taken to avoid the scenes we have just heard about. separately we have also had more _ just heard about. separately we have also had more detail— just heard about. separately we have also had more detailthis _ just heard about. separately we have also had more detail this morning - just heard about. separately we have also had more detail this morning in| also had more detail this morning in that row over the home secretary breaching security by using her personal e—mail earlier this month. another one that isn't going away. you will remember that suella braverman was forced to resign by liz truss for sending some government business via a personal e—mail address to a parliamentary colleague. i think we can show you the long letter that suella braverman has sent to mps this morning setting out her version of events where she insists that the written ministerial statement sent to a parliamentary colleague did not include sensitive information and that it was not something that was a

huge issue and that she brought it up huge issue and that she brought it up with the relevant authorities when the mistake was made. however, she also admits in that letter that six times as home secretary she did use, she sent e—mails from her work e—mails, or her home office e—mail, to her personal one. again, when she appears before mps this afternoon, i think mps will want more clarity about exactly why thus has been allowed to happen, whether it compromises security. labour scientist asks more questions. hick scientist asks more questions. nick eardle , scientist asks more questions. nick eardley, political— scientist asks more questions. nick eardley, political correspondent, thank you. —— laboursay eardley, political correspondent, thank you. —— labour say itjust asks more questions. king charles has sent a message of condolence to south korea, after the crush there on saturday that killed 154 people during haloween celebrations. many of the victims were teenagers and adults in their twenties: they died when a crowd surged in a packed alleyway

in the capital seoul. king charles said he was "shocked and saddened" what he called a "heartbreaking" disaster. our correspondentjean mackenzie has the latest from seoul. the grief travels far beyond those who have lost someone. the whole country is morning. as it struggles to comprehend how so many young people could be crushed to death as they partied for halloween. this narrow alley became so packed people couldn't breathe. they began to fall to the floor. this man's friend called him as the crush started. the woman next to him was unwell, he said, and he wanted to get her out. her hand went cold and then his friend hung up. it was the last time he heard from his friend. he was 21. he loved hip—hop music and fashion.

he loved hip—hop music and fashion. he worked in construction but dreams of being a fashion being a fashion designer. this public altar gives people who are not necessarily friends or family with those who have died a space where they can come and mourn. it is particularly resonating with young people here, and young women, who we now know make up most of the victims. mil and young women, who we now know make up most of the victims.- make up most of the victims. all the victims are the _ make up most of the victims. all the victims are the same _ make up most of the victims. all the victims are the same age _ make up most of the victims. all the victims are the same age with - make up most of the victims. all the victims are the same age with me. l victims are the same age with me. so... i don't know, itjust feels so sad. ijust so... i don't know, itjust feels so sad. i just want to pray for them. the families gather at funeral homes around the city. here, two friends await their reel in the room next door. two friends killed along with one of their girlfriends. his father breaks down when he thinks of his youngest son. james was such a good brother to him. they were so close.

who still hasn't conceded defeat. under mr bolsonaro's rule, brazil suffered one of the world's deadliest outbreaks of covid, and widespread deforestation of the amazon rainforest. our south america correspondent katy watson reports. cheering. celebration on the streets of sao paulo, and a sense of relief. they predicted a tight race and it was a nailbiter to the very end. ifeel free, relieved not only for the brazilian people, but for the whole planet, for the amazon, for the democracy, for human rights. so we are very happy. it is a very divided country, though. there will be a lot of people unhappy. yes, because it was very little difference, a small difference. so we have to be very patient and we have to leave the anger and the hatred away. what a comeback for

brazil's president—elect, a man who left powerjust 12 years ago with a sky—high approval rating but who then subsequently fell from grace over corruption scandals. here he is again, lula 2.0. translation: it was the hardest campaign of my life. _ it wasn't men against men, party against party — it was a group of people who love freedom and democracy, against authoritarianism. the noise on the streets filled the silence from bolsonaro's camp. the speculation was that he went to bed. while voting was largely peaceful, there was a lot of expectation and nerves on sunday as people cast their ballot. in this unequal country the divide was clear — rich and poor, left and right. people had a stark choice to make. i voted for bolsonaro, of course. what's the best thing about bolsonaro? why do you like bolsonaro? i don't agree with him, like, 100%.

i think he has a lot of flaws. but he's a man of god, he has the right principles. and he's not the biggest... that ever existed in brazil. it's very sad in my opinion to see brazil in this state where we have to decide between two candidates that make brazil such a polarised country, inciting violence, extremes. i think especially, they don't represent any of the young population, right. any progress in the country. it's really very sad. so my vote is a vote of protest. amid such division, it was lula who made it to the finish line first. people here are shouting, "lula has returned." like him or loathe him, this is a historic moment for brazil, 20 years after lula first became president, he's back in the top job. but for these people, a lula victory is not a victory for brazil. his job will be to unite them and be their president, too. lula will have to contend

with conservative lawmakers in whatever he wants to do. it won't be easy but tonight these supporters aren't worried. he's back in the top job and he's back to change brazil. katy watson, bbc news, sao paolo. and katyjoins me now from sao paulo. we still haven't heard from jair bolsonaro yet. the beaten candidate, will he concede defeat eventually and what happens if he doesn't? i concede defeat eventually and what happens if he doesn't?— happens if he doesn't? i think that is what everyone _ happens if he doesn't? i think that is what everyone here _ happens if he doesn't? i think that is what everyone here in _ happens if he doesn't? i think that is what everyone here in brazil - happens if he doesn't? i think that is what everyone here in brazil is l is what everyone here in brazil is wanting to know. will he concede defeat and when will he concede defeat? we have heard nothing from him or his sons, who are also prominent politicians. jair bolsonaro, throughout the campaign he questioned the voting system and alleged fraud with no evidence to do so. he is known as the tropical trump and he is a big admirer of donald trump and many people feared he might do something similar in

contesting the results when they came through. it was such a close race. maybe he will ask for a recount. i think everybody here is just wanting to find out exactly what the next step is. certainly brazil woke up, half of people were elated and the other half are no doubt seething. that will be the biggest challenge for lula in the next few months and in his four years as president, bringing together these two sides and making sure he comes across is that legitimate president for those people who did not want lula back in power. people who did not want lula back in ower. . , people who did not want lula back in ower. ., , . ., ., power. katy watson, our south america correspondent - power. katy watson, our south america correspondent in - power. katy watson, our south america correspondent in sao i power. katy watson, our south - america correspondent in sao paulo, thank you. here, a coroner has criticised exeter university for failing to provide adequate support to a student who took his own life last year — saying there was a catalogue of missed opportunities. harry armstrong evans died at his family home, after struggling with his mental health. both he and his family had contacted the university seeking support. jenny kumar has been

following events at court for us this lunchtime. jenny. yes, harry's family say he was kind, gentle and intelligent is that he was on course to get a high grade for his degree but injanuary last year, he got a poor set of exam results. he contacted the university telling them about his are a poor set of exam results. he contacted the university telling them about his eyes lockdown isolation, his declining mental health and exam worries. his mother also contacted them, worried about his welfare. the coroner said today there was a catalogue of missed opportunities and that the university failed to respond effectively. today, the family called for a series of legal changes, including the requirement of universities to publish annual suicide rates, in what would be known as harry's law. no parent should outlive their child. these simple and inexpensive measures would, we have no doubt,

ensured that fewer parents are made to suffer the misery that we will live with forever. the coroner says that they will be writing to the vice chancellor, asking for a review of staff training and of suicide prevention policies and welfare. today, the university says they will be considering the details of the coroner's findings and they will make sure that lessons are learned. jenny, thank you. jenny kumah reporting. troubled uk battery start—up britishvolt is on the brink of potentially falling into administration, with almost 300 jobs at risk. the company has been developing a £3.8 billion gigafactory in blyth, northumberland, which it had hoped would employ up to 3,000 workers. our business correspondent theo leggett is with me now. what has gone wrong? you said the word yourself. _ what has gone wrong? you said the word yourself, this _ what has gone wrong? you said the word yourself, this is _

in and starts producing new investment, it would not be able to continue running and has no option but to put itself into administration.- but to put itself into administration. ., ,, , ., , administration. 0k, thank you very much indeed- _ administration. 0k, thank you very much indeed. theo _ administration. 0k, thank you very much indeed. theo leggett, - administration. 0k, thank you very much indeed. theo leggett, our. much indeed. theo leggett, our business correspondence. the time is1:20. our top story this lunchtime: pressure is mounting on the home secretary over worsening conditions at a migrant processing centre in kent. and coming up — the latest on rescue efforts in india — after a suspension bridge collapsed, killing 141 people. coming up on the bbc news channel: marcus rashford's red hot form for manchester united sees him in contention for england's world cup plans. rashford scored his 100th goal in their 1—0 win over west ham, with united now a point off the top four. russia has launched a wave of missile attacks on ukraine, including on the city of kharkiv and the capital, kyiv, where some areas are now without power and water.

russia has been stepping up its attacks on ukraine's energy infrastructure, as winter approaches. live to our correspondent in kyiv, hugo bachega. hugo, how much damage has been done? power cuts have been reported across the country including here in kyiv where the mayor says many parts of the city are still without water. this has been russia's strategy in recent weeks, to damage this country's critical infrastructure ahead of winter and as a result, demoralise ukrainians. reacting to the attacks today, the ukrainian foreign minister said instead of fighting on the battlefield, russia was fighting civilians. and the attacks today happened two days after russia accused ukraine of attacking its black sea fleet in occupied crimea. in response to that, moscow abandoned the landmark grain deal that allowed ukraine to

resume its grain exports, something that he had dismissed as blackmail. but this morning, there were signs that this deal could survive. a dozen ships left ukrainian ports but from moscow, there was a warning. a spokesperson for the kremlin said, those exports might be risky, as russia couldn't guarantee the safety of ships. russia couldn't guarantee the safety of shi s. ., ., ~ russia couldn't guarantee the safety of shi s. ., ., ,, i. ., of ships. hugo, thank you. hugo bacheaa of ships. hugo, thank you. hugo itachega are _ of ships. hugo, thank you. hugo bachega are there, _ of ships. hugo, thank you. hugo bachega are there, our - of ships. hugo, thank you. hugo bachega are there, our ukraine. bachega are there, our ukraine corresponding in kyiv. police in india have arrested nine people after a suspension bridge collapsed, killing 141 people. the pedestrian bridge — in the western state of gujurat — had onlyjust reopened after repair work and reports say it had not yet received a safety certificate. people had been seen on the bridge rocking it and trying to make it

swayjust before it collapsed into the river below. yogita limaye reports. more than a dozen rafts and some swimmers there are scouring the machchu river. it's unlikely at this point that they will find any survivors. they've been doing this for hours. about an hour ago, a body was pulled out but we know that people are still missing and that's what they're looking for. here to the right, that's where the suspension footbridge was. you can see the net there and these cranes have been brought in and they've been working through the night and i'm just going to show you through the crowds, if i can, this. this is essentially — this was the bridge. this is the metal rock, where the metal base of the bridge and the net that formed the sides of the suspension footbridge. it collapsed on sunday evening and this morning, the terrifying footage of the moments of when it actually collapsed. cctv footage has emerged. scores of people were plunged into the river and the darkness compounded the difficulties

of trying to find survivors. in a hospital close by, where the injured have been taken, the dead as well, since the morning, they've been handing over the bodies of those who've died to their families. but there are, as i said, people still missing. translation: iwas here on the bridge. l we fell in the centre. i was able to escape but i couldn't find my sister. the footbridge was built back in the 19th century. it had been closed for repairs for months and had been reopened just a week ago. so there are lots of difficult questions for officials here to answer, especially whether safety checks were done before it was thrown open to the public, whether there was overcrowding on the bridge and what exactly caused it to collapse. two men have died in a shooting in south london. police were called to brixton just before 8:00 last night, where the men were found with serious injuries.

they were both pronounded dead at the scene. it is the second fatal gun attack in london in five days. the latest stage of the public inquiry in to coronavirus has started today. nick triggle has been listnening across proceedings. what's being discussed ? we are still at the preliminary hearing stage and this is where the lawyer set out how the inquiry will work. the public hearings, where the prime minister and other officials give evidence will not start until next year. today, we have the start of the preliminary hearing is that module two and this is looking at the political decision making is that we found out the identity of the core participants, the groups and individuals who will be give and enhance rights to see the documents and make submissions. alongside the governments departments they include a host of organisations representing the most vulnerable in society,

people with disabilities, children, women at risk of domestic violence. one of the key aims as the council for the inquiry set out this morning, is to look at whether they are risks these groups face were properly taken into account by the decision makers. but clearly a major focus is going to be, he said, on the momentous decisions to introduce lockdowns and restrictions on people's lives. there will be a particular emphasis on the january — march 2020 period and whether earlier action and earlier lockdown could have saved lives. we heard that thousands of pieces of evidence have been requested, including even whatsapp messages shared between the prime minister and his team. qm. prime minister and his team. 0k, thank you- _ prime minister and his team. 0k, thank you. nick _ prime ministerand his team. ok, thank you. nick triggle. many customers with non—smart prepayment metres have not yet redeemed vouchers to help with energy bills. from the 1st of october, households should have begun to receive the first £400 instalment of the

when he was eventually dismissed for 28, australia then settled and found their groove. captain aaron finch treating the crowd to several boundaries on his way to top scoring with 63. when it was all said and done, ireland had been set a sizeable target of 180 to win. now, if australia had been frightening with the bat, they were equally as devilish with the ball. ireland had lost five wickets with less than 50 runs on the board. and they never recovered, although an unbeaten 71 from lorcan tucker made the margin of defeat a little more respectable. orange sky at night, aussie delight. nesta mcgregor, bbc news. a new world record has been set in switzerland for the longest ever passenger train. described by the rail chief in charge of the record attempt as "swiss perfection", the 100—coach train wound through the mountains, with thousands turning up to watch it on its scenicjourney.

rolling through the swiss alps, the world's longest ever passenger train. the 100 coach train is 1.2 miles long and over the weekend, it set a new world record. seven drivers were needed to complete the attempt, all working in lockstep with one another. families and train enthusiasts alike lined the route, which passed over viaducts and through mountain tunnels on a 15.5 mile journey, to mark 175 years of swiss railways. the guinness world records validated the result for the longest passenger train ever to complete a journey. the train even generated energy that's being used in people's homes. we had also to export in a way this energy to the public electricity network, so that, yes, i don't know, somebody maybe was able to cook

something while watching this wonderful train. and for the lucky 150 passengers on board, there were spectacular views on a route that spiralled through a part of the alps listed as a unesco world heritage site. lovely weather there in the alps. let's see what the weather is doing here. here's helen willetts. the end of a very warm october? it has been and across parts of france and spain as well, some record temperatures. i want to show you the average at this time of year, they will start to dip away in october but actually, as was alluded to that, it has been a warm, a very warm octoberfor some of to that, it has been a warm, a very warm october for some of us. to that, it has been a warm, a very warm octoberfor some of us. the finalfigure is still warm octoberfor some of us. the final figure is still being counted but it's not alone. the orange shows how much above average but all year, every month this year, we have seen temperatures in central england above where they should be, above the long—term average. for the last

week or so, it's mainly been
