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 because of the wind direction, dragging the warm weather up from iberia, from france and with it today, it's dragging up a lot of cloud and rain as well. indeed, temperatures will dip back a little bit through the coming week as we turn to the atlantic for our weather influence. but for the worst of the day, a wet one courtesy of the weather front across northern ireland and western scotland boss of increasing showers in southern areas, perhaps some of the driest weather in between, across east of the grampians, down to the borders and fife. i6 across east of the grampians, down to the borders and fife. 16 degrees, well above the average we would see at this time of year, 12—13. 16 in northern ireland as, the average 13 year, and further south. the showers could be heavy and increasingly thundery as they move their way up across the channel, increasing wins as well for devon and cornwall for some gale force winds here. and those girl falls within stretford through the channel to other english channel coast as we go through the night, affecting the channel islands and northern france. gusts of 60—70

miles an hour, disruptive gusts of wind and as a result, temperatures would drop much below 9—10, which is about the daytime average for this time of year. so wet and windy start for some tomorrow but that gets pushed out into the north sea. the rain lingers rather more across the north—east scotland, the northern isles, compared with today and the channel islands along with southern areas see an influx of greater showers through the afternoon, heavier showers tomorrow. temperature is just a heavier showers tomorrow. temperature isjust a notch heavier showers tomorrow. temperature is just a notch down because the wind is coming from the rest. that atlantic influence continues into wednesday. a brief respite, a ridge of high pressure on tuesday night but look at making way for wednesday. gale is more widely once again. heavy rain, once again, for many parts because it has actually been very wet for northern ireland so far this month. 150% of their average rainfall has fallen. it is really wet out there at the moment and there is more of that wet weather to come as come as welcome as we go through the week. it looks on balance as a friday might be a little drier but we have more rain

to come over the weekend. as i say, be little drier but we have more rain to come over the weekend. as i say, be careful little drier but we have more rain to come over the weekend. as i say, be careful in little drier but we have more rain to come over the weekend. as i say, be careful in northern little drier but we have more rain to come over the weekend. as i say, be careful in northern ireland little drier but we have more rain to come over the weekend. as i say, be careful in northern ireland as well this afternoon, very wet here. 0k, well this afternoon, very wet here. ok, helen thank you very much. thank you very much. pressure is mounting on the home secretary over migrant conditions in a camp in kent. she is expected to make a statement this afternoon. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me, good afternoon. it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. australia survived a late rally by ireland's lorcan tucker to win by 42 runs in the t20 world cup and move up to second in group 1. australian captain aaron finch reached 68 as he helped australia to 179, leaving the irish needing their best ever run chase if they were to come away with a win, but they were reduced

to 25—4 early in their innings with mitchell starc findng two wickets in his first over. tucker did his best to bring ireland back into the game with an unbeaten 71 from 48 balls, but it wasn't enough as ireland were all out for 137. we knew it was an amazing opportunity. there was a great atmosphere here, an amazing cloud and one we really enjoyed. it kind of does feel like a mist opportunity because the wicket was pretty good and there were two or three dismissals including myself up top that could have maybe not happened, but that is the game and you can't dwell too much on it. meanwhile, in the same group, england play top of the table new zealand tomorrow. friday's washout against australia left their hopes hanging in the balance. the team know a win is needed and they're being encouraged to go out and fight for it.

you don't win world cups by being conservative, you've got to be one step ahead of the opposition. as we all know, in the past five or six years the power of our batting line—up has been something that other teams have feared and we have got to make sure that we utilise that and be smart with it. obviously, the grounds are bigger over here, but when you do get that opportunity, you take it and show your power. india's virat kohli says he's been the victim of an "absolute invasion of privacy" in perth. it's after intruders entered his hotel room and posted video of his clothes and belongings on social media. a contractor has now been stood down by the hotel. the icc says it's incredibly disappointed. an investigation is ongoing. marcus rashford's red—hot form at the moment for manchester united could see him secure his spot in gareth southgate�*s world cup squad 15 months after last playing for england. rashford scored in united's win over west ham yesterday, leaving them a point off the top four. it's now eight matches unbeaten

for erik ten hag's side after beating the hammers 1—0. rashford playing a key part with the only goal of the game, his seventh of the season and 100th for the club. he is clearly feeling in a better place on and off the pitch. marcus rashford, i think he's representing that fact. he scored a brilliant goal, great pass from christian eriksen, great header, the day before his birthday — his 100 — is a real milestone, and it's a fantastic achievement. in tennis, cameron norrie�*s beaten serbia's miomir kecmanovic in the first round of the paris masters. the british one won in straight sets 6—2, 6—4. it's the final regular atp tour event of the season — norrie narrowly missed out on qualifying for the upcoming atp finals — although he could still go to turin as an alternate. dustinjohnson is celebrating once again after winning the season—ending liv golf team championship. it was another enormous

pay day for him too, taking his earnings this year to over 35 million dollars. along with patrick reed, talor gooch and pat perez, johnson's four aces team finished a shot clear of team punch to win the event in miami. johnson clinched victory with this putt to finish on 7—under. the two—time major winner had already won the inaugural individual championship, for which he received 18 million dollars in prize money. the saudi arabia—backed series continues to cause deep division in the sport. it's been amazing. obviously, the advanceis it's been amazing. obviously, the advance is what makes it. this week has been incredible. the whole season has just gotten better and better and obviously this finale has been unbelievable. that's all the sport for now. it's just over a week to go until the us midterm elections and all eyes are on pennsylvania as control of the us senate could come down to which party wins here.

there's a governors�* race in pennsylvania and competitive congressional elections too. presidentjoe biden was born in scranton, pennsylvania, and won the state back from donald trump in 202. the bbc�*s laura trevelyan has been taking the political temperature in mr biden�*s birthplace. # well, i was born in a small town #. scranton, pennsylvania, where the geography ofjoe biden�*s hometown reflects the political divisions of the nation. scranton is a democratic city in a county which donald trump won. joe biden was victorious here in 2020, and with just over a week to go until the midterm elections, pennsylvania is once again a pivotal state where democrats and republicans are chasing the swing voters. people werejust like, i need to go pick up another job to make more money. it sucks that people need to do that.

james bogdanor, the head chef of scranton�*s ale house, sees how his staff are struggling with high prices. he's one of the few voters in this polarised nation who doesn't always support the same party. he voted for donald trump in 2016 and joe biden in 2020, and now he's on the fence. i don't really know where the, where the future of america is headed. to be honest with you, it's it's so split down the middle. it's either you'rejust extremely hard on one side or extremely hard on the other, i feel like. and there's not much middle ground. james is busy in the kitchen these days as it's the final of the baseball world series and fans of scranton�*s favourite team, the philadelphia phillies, are coming here to watch. as he thinks about how to vote, though, the cost of living is on his mind. i don't know many people that can afford to pay $4 or $5 a gallon for gas just to get to work and make 7.25 an hour or some people, which is crazy when 2022 that people are only making

that much money. so which way you lean it i'm leaning more towards. it's, it's tough. college football is a saturday afternoon ritual in scranton, and supporters of the lackawanna falcons are out in force. mothers are watching their sons play. in pennsylvania, abortion rights are a contentious issue in the midterm elections, as democrats claim that republican candidates want to restrict or even outlaw abortion in the state. i am very concerned about women's rights right now women's health, women's opportunity to choose. what would you like to see happen in this state on abortion? to be honest, i'd like to see the the right. to have the choice. this is hometown america here. robin medeiros is a local republican party official. her message to women concerned about abortion rights is they won't disappear in pennsylvania if the state goes red. it's not going to be completely illegal in any state. i don't think they can go that far. so i would say relax

on that issue. you're ok. this isjoe biden�*s childhood home. he's used his scranton roots to appeal to the blue collar voters who deserted democrats for donald trump and despite his low national approval ratings, pennsylvania is one state wherejoe biden is campaigning hard in the midterm elections. but if he wants a second term as president, even here, he's facing headwinds. back at the football game, scranton�*s most famous son is being blamed for the high gas and grocery prices. i think he's doing an awfuljob. he forgot about the american people. he forgot about us. he worried about ukraine. can't afford a lot of bills. got to back up on a lot of- the hobbies, things like that. can't afford rent. yeah. can't afford your day—to—day bills because of inflation all over the world. it's crazy and it's tough.

the scranton�*s president awaits the voters�* verdict. once again, pennsylvania is the ultimate battleground state. what happens here will show the world where america's centre of political gravity lies. laura trevelyan, bbc news, scranton. it's a month since the government began paying energy support payments, but some of the most vulnerable people still aren't getting the help they need. bbc breakfast�*s nina warhurst has all the details. the governor pledged to give every household £400 towards their gas and electricity costs over the next six months. payments parted this month and by now you should have received your first monthly instalment of £66. forthose your first monthly instalment of £66. for those buying direct debit, this money should have been either credited to your account or pay directly to your bank, depending on your supplier. this should have

happened by now automatically. if you are one of the 4.5 million on a prepayment metre he should have been sent a voucher through the post war for you to redeem at a sharp or post office. we have seen figures that suggest many households are missing out on the cash they are owed. so what out on the cash they are owed. sr what we have found is that out on the cash they are owed. srs what we have found is that about 800,000 vouchers have been issued to customers across the uk to nine suppliers. roughlyjust over half of those have been retained by customers so far. that represents about £27 million worth of vital support that is in the hands of customers that really need it, but obviously that also means there is quite a lot of customers who have not redeemed it so far. if they haven't received a voucher, please contact your supplier. there are some really good information and advice with organisations like citizens advice. most importantly, keep an eye on that expiry day and

make sure you redeem it so you can get that vital support this winter. that is really important point. the vouchers are only valid for 90 days, so please do check your post and make sure you claim and plenty of time. this report is only set to last for six months and that coincides with the end of the government's energy price guarantee, which sets the typical annual household bill at £2500. remember, if you do use more energy you will pay more. builds were set to rise to over £3500 without that support this winter. so what happens from april? at the moment we have few details. the new chancellor has singled support that will be targeted at those most in need. the government is set to outline its new tax and spending plans in the autumn statement on the 17th of november. the headlines on bbc news: home secretary suella braverman has written a letter giving more

details about her breach of the ministerial code. bbc news has obtained pictures of the conditions inside the manston migrant processing centre. ukraine says 12 cargo ships carrying grain have left the country under a deal brokered by the un. government proposals to slaughter turkeys early and freeze them have been woolly and look for —— lukewarm, that is the way that some poultry farmers have seen them. this

into your morning coffee. you know, i lived my life magically. i do magic every day, spells, rituals. it�*s your intention behind anything. for me, it�*s seeing the world through slightly different eyes. ayla�*s content is part of a global trend called witchtok the hashtag has amassed more than 30 billion views on tik tok. whereas years ago you had to find a coven, get initiated, get trained. whereas now you can go to your local bookstore and grab a witchcraft book or book about crystals. witchcraft can have connotations of dark arts. how do you keep it safe? the dark arts is quite misunderstood. so hollywood and disney have created this very dark, very evil type, which, you know, and that is not necessarily true. each diane perkins is the author of a witch in history and has examined the skepticism surrounding witchcraft. i think what we're seeing

is something that happens to witchcraft around about every 40 years. it reinvents itself. i think this is about younger women recognizing the figure of the witch as exemplifying a kind of energy and a kind of power that they really relate to. in this sleepy village in cornwall, the connections to witchcraft and magic are stronger than ever, with a dedicated museum and shops selling spell books, tarot cards and crystals. blessings to our sacred waters of the world. i michelle elliot says she�*s been practicing magic for 30 years. i'm a silky longing to return i to the wild and untamed sea. magic is nature. it's the unseen spirits i of the land, sea and sky. real magic is all around us.

just like nature has light and dark, so does witchcraft. and it�*s how you choose to use the light and the dark. witches are rising again, and i'm really happy about that. i clairejones, bbc news in cornwall. hello, there. although the final statistics are still being counted, october has been the tenth successive month this year with temperatures above the seasonal average. we had temperatures last week well above the seasonal average by day. they came down just a little on sunday and they will nudge down a little over the coming week. it is because we have turned our airflow from the south last week to, as we head through this week, more coming in from the atlantic, but we weren�*t alone, many parts of france and spain have also had some really warm weather for the time year. at the moment, all that southerly

air is drwaing in a lot of cloud and moisture, as well. we are in for some wetter weather throughout the rest of the day ahead. through the afternoon, i think across much of scotland the rain makes inroads, except the east and the far south—east. northern ireland�*s eastern areas turn wetter and there will be increasing amounts of heavy showers in southern areas. as i say, it�*s still mild. temperatures above the ten or 11 average for scotland, for example, at this time of year. staying fine and dry south—eastern areas and in northern england, as well. further south across england and wales, these heavy showers, even thundery showers, will move their way across the channel. further showery bursts of rain to come. at the same time, the wind strengthening, gales for the south—west throughout this evening. then a warning of gales for english channel coasts across southern and eastern areas through the second half of the night and into the start of the day tomorrow. you can see those tightly packed isobars there. so with all the cloud, the wind and the rain, it will be a mild night for parts, as you can see, and a rather soggy start for many tomorrow,

as well as a blustery one in southern and eastern areas. that will push the rain out of the way. then we see some brighter skies, but lots more showers rushing behind. the low pressure is still with us. but this time it is coming in from a westerly direction, that wind, so temperatures will be a degree or two down on those of today — between 12 and 15 celsius for the most part. still quite a lot of rain lingering across the northern isles close to our weather front. it is because we have low pressure with us. a little respite during tuesday evening into wednesday, a ridge of high pressure, but this next area of low pressure is winding itself up for wednesday. it�*s not likely that we will see the rain reaching south—eastern areas until after dark, but it looks really quite wet for many. wet and increasingly windy, with gales if not severe gale force winds, in the north and the west. as ever, the warnings are all on our website.

this is bbc news. the headlines. how big does the crisis need to get, home secretary? pressure on the home secretary suella braverman to tackle conditions at a kent migrant processing centre. in the first image, children can be seen playing on a tennis court encircled by the metal barriers, with many facility workers wearing high—vis jackets watching on. a facility did tie —— design come to bleed to 50 people
