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. 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.
2:03 pm
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 is simply not fit for that purpose. most of these migrants are usually processed and then sent to hotels, but not recently. the mp thinks that was a deliberate decision. what i am saying, on pretty good authority, from the information i have been given, is that a policy decision was taken at the top in the home office to not commission more hotel space. it's not clear whether it was this home secretary, suella braverman, who may have done that. 0ran earlier one, which for a time was also her. are you the right person to get this crisis under control? 0r another one, way back, a few months ago. either way, the pressure is on to explain. there has been a huge increase in the backlog
2:04 pm
for the home office is not taking decisions. they are only taking 14,000 decisions a year. they used to be taking twice as many asylum decisions as that. as a result you have a big increase in the backlog and that has caused problems. and of course we need much stronger action to prevent these dangerous boat crossings in the first place. in nearby dover, police are investigating a fire bomb attack on immigration detention centre. it is not clear what is behind it but it highlights further the strain caused by a record number of migrant crossings. people, among them young children, keep coming on small, flimsy boats. plucked from the water. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford has
2:05 pm
been in kent today. he told us more about the growing concerns at manston. these concerns were first highlighted in the full glare of publicity by the chief inspector of immigration last week to describe the situation as dangerous and a situation that left him speechless and he said he was not normally left speechless. the concern is that a centre built for around 1600 people as a 24—hour processing facility has turned into a long—term holding facility for some people. the inspector found someone who had been there for 32 days, a mother with children and they were sleeping on mats and in a marquee, effectively they had been camping for a month on an airfield, disused airfield 20 miles from dover, and the problem is that there is not accommodation for people to go on to. normally people would go on to hotels or immigration
2:06 pm
detention centres but because the hotels were not booked, there was nowhere for these people to go. i'm joined now by former independent chief inspector of borders and immigration, john vine. thank you for coming on the programme. what in your view is going so wrong? well, way back in july there was a report conducted by alexander downer, former minister from australia at the request of the home office and it talks about the system failing and it talked about better workforce planning and kneading, better training and a better sense of purpose by the home office and what we are seeing is one of the symptoms of those findings. so you have people crossing the channel in large numbers and the home office needs to anticipate that and needs to have proper provision to hold people while they ascertain

2:10 pm
short—term. what we need to have is an end to end a look at the whole process and make sure that the resources are put in place in order to ensure that it is fit for purpose. and that includes receiving people, identifying who they are, deciding their asylum claims in a reasonable period of time and from there, if people have failed their asylum claim and have no right to remain in the country, also removing those people efficiently and effectively who have failed their asylum claim and that is another area where the home office is not performing now as well as it used to. g ., . ~' performing now as well as it used to. , ., . ~' ,, ., 0ur political correspondent,

addressing her breach of the ministerial code. it was a tight race, but in the end — by a very narrow margin — brazil's left wing former leader luiz inacio lula da silva has won the country's presidential election. it's a stunning comeback for him, two decades after he first came into office. byjust two percentage points, he beat the far right incumbent, jair bolsonaro, who still hasn't conceded defeat. under mr bolsonaro's rule, brazil suffered one of the world's deadliest outbreaks of covid, and deforestation in the amazon. 0ur 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. i feel relieved not only for the brazilian people, but for the whole planet, for the amazon, for the democracy, for human rights.
2:17 pm
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
2:18 pm
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 is not the biggest thief 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
2:19 pm
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. police in india have made nine arrests 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 some of the arrests are from the construction firm that carried out the work. people had been seen on the bridge
2:20 pm
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 machhu 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 walkway, 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 moment of when it actually collapsed. cctv footage has emerged.
2:21 pm
scores of people were plunged into the river, and the darkness compounded the difficulties of trying to find survivors. and 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 theirfamilies. but there are, as i said, people still missing — including a young man who was on the bridge with his six—year—old sister when it collapsed. i couldn't find her. 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
2:22 pm
caused it to collapse. russia has launched a wave of missile attacks on ukraine, including 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. 0ur correspondent hugo bachega sent this update from kyiv. power cuts have been reported even here in kyiv where the mayor says many parts are without water and this has been russian strategy, to damage the critical infrastructure ahead of winter and as a result demoralise ukrainians. reacting to today's attacks, the ukrainian foreign minister said instead of fighting on the battlefield, russia was fighting civilians. and today's attacks happened two days after russia accused ukraine of attacking

2:24 pm
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 worked in construction but dreamed of being
2:25 pm
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. all the victims are the same age with me. 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 burial in the rooms 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. how will he cope with the loss, he asks.

this man has been friends with james since he was eight. translation: i was such a shy kid. i only had one friend but james helped me become more extroverted and make friends. the pain reverberates out, because of a sense of these deaths were avoidable. after days of questioning, police have admitted they failed to notice how quickly the deadly crowd had grown. jean mackenzie, bbc news, seoul. ari armstrong evans died at his family home after struggling with mental health. both he and his family had contacted the university seeking support.

in the independent newspaper. the creation of an official definition was promised by the government in 2019. when asked about reports, the government told bbc news, we remain committed to stamping out anti—muslim hatred and all forms of religious prejudice and we will outline our next steps in due course. our community affairs correspondent, ahitha nagash, joins me now from our leeds newsroom. could you just first of all set out what exactly it is we are talking about, this definition?- what exactly it is we are talking about, this definition? yes, so this actually began _ about, this definition? yes, so this actually began about _ about, this definition? yes, so this actually began about four - about, this definition? yes, so this actually began about four years - about, this definition? yes, so this| actually began about four years ago when the all party parliamentary group on iran to first proposed a definition of islamophobia according it a type of racism that targets muslims us all perceived muslim dress. this was adopted by labour and other opposition parties but it was rejected by the conservative government. the communities secretary at the time did accept a definition of islamophobia was
2:37 pm
needed. and so he did agree to hire an adviser, who would come up with a new definition. at adviser, an imam from leeds, was later let go injune this year and he claims that in the two years since he was hired, between —— and him being let go, he was not engaged with the government at all. 0r was not engaged with the government at all. or the government rather did not engage with him at all. of course, in that time, in 2019, we got a new government, a new communities secretary, michael gove, and the claim is that is part of the problem, that when this new government headed by borisjohnson came in injuly 2019, that work on the new definition of islamophobia sm —— eventually —— essentially halted. i sm -- eventually -- essentially halted. 7 sm -- eventually -- essentially halted. , , ., halted. i will 'ust give you a second to _ halted. i willjust give you a second to put _ halted. i willjust give you a second to put your - halted. i willjust give you a second to put your earpiece halted. i willjust give you a - second to put your earpiece back in.
2:38 pm
but why is this particularly sensitive, why is it significant? the antiracism organisations have told me that they are really concerned about this. first of all earlier this month the government released hate crime statistics that show that muslims are the most targeted religious group in the country but also, there is a lot of concern about islamophobia within the conservative party itself. at the conservative party itself. at the start of this year of course, former transport minister alleged that she was told that the reason she had been let go from herjob a couple of years ago was because of her muslim —ness. sorry, my earpiece is falling out. that claim has been denied by the person who was accused of saying it, the chief whip at the time. and the ex head of the conservative muslim forum has also
2:39 pm
said that he believes that if he had appeared more asian, he would have faced more discrimination. and a report into islamophobia in the conservative party released last year also found that there was evidence of discrimination. thank ou ve evidence of discrimination. thank you very much — evidence of discrimination. thank you very much for _ evidence of discrimination. thank you very much for battling - you very much for battling technology, firstly, and for giving us a bit of the background and where we are right now. thank you for that. let�*s get some reaction now and talk to the spokesman for the muslim council of britain, miqdaad versi. thank you very much for coming on the programme. what is your reaction to these reports in the independent newspaper? it is to these reports in the independent news-naer? 7 , to these reports in the independent newspaper?— newspaper? it is very disappointing that this has _ newspaper? it is very disappointing that this has happened. _ that this has happened. unfortunately it seems like successive governments in the last five years have failed to deal with this really real concern of xenophobia and seem to disperse —— dismiss the concerns of the muslim communities, whilst at the same time polling and statistics show that day
2:40 pm
in, day out muslims face prejudice more than any other faith group in this country. and so as a result, it is really problematic when the government of the time does not really want to grapple with this issue, does not want to be engaging and actually seems to be going backwards when it seems to even defining the prejudice that muslims are facing. the defining the pre'udice that muslims are facina. 7, , are facing. the government says, we remain committed _ are facing. the government says, we remain committed to _ are facing. the government says, we remain committed to stamping - are facing. the government says, we remain committed to stamping out i remain committed to stamping out anti—muslim hatred and all forms of religious prejudice and we will outline our next steps in due course. given they are committed to stamping out anti—muslim hatred, why is a specific definition at all important? i is a specific definition at all important?— is a specific definition at all im-ortant? ~ , , ., ., , important? i think this is a really aood important? i think this is a really good question. _ important? i think this is a really good question, thank— important? i think this is a really good question, thank you - important? i think this is a really good question, thank you for - important? i think this is a really i good question, thank you for asking it. ithink good question, thank you for asking it. i think that when we see on the ground, it is not about words, it is about action. three or four years ago, people were saying it is really important to have a definition so we can ensure that people who are talking about islamophobia understand it, we don�*t have all these discussions about is it free speech, is it is a phobia? no, we do
2:41 pm
not have all these distractions that keep on being made by islam. to be honest, people from the far right. they say, we are only exercising our free speech, we are talking what is lamb, not muslim. they use these examples as a way to hold back the fight against islamophobia. we have an opportunity to have a definition, from all —— it has been its editor more brittle parties except the conservative party this government has chosen not. you look at the statistics on the ground and the fact that people believe these conspiracy theories about muslims, there are these no—go areas, the structural is a phobia issues, the fact that muslims, it is more difficult for them to job... there is all of this evidence out there about the structural issue in health care, education, in getting a job,
2:42 pm
all of these issues, muslims have greater challenges any quality and this government seems to be doing very little to tackle them.- very little to tackle them. wouldn't these issues _ very little to tackle them. wouldn't these issues be _ very little to tackle them. wouldn't these issues be covered _ very little to tackle them. wouldn't these issues be covered by - very little to tackle them. wouldn'tj these issues be covered by existing discrimination rules and laws and therefore people might think there is a definition that enough people understand of islamophobia and there is existing legislation, they should be calls for tighter impairment a across all groups, but a debate about a specific definition might not be the right way question mark definition is one part of the process, not the only part of the process. process, not the only part of the nrocess. ~ 7 process, not the only part of the nrocess. 7 , ., process. we see with the definition of anti-semitism. _ process. we see with the definition of anti-semitism. the _ process. we see with the definition of anti-semitism. the government | process. we see with the definition l of anti-semitism. the government is of anti—semitism. the government is encouraging universities across the country to adopt a definition of anti—semitism. why would it be doing that if it did not really what is important to tackle the issue? they think a definition is very important but they seem to be considering islamophobia to be unimportant for them and not important enough to
2:43 pm
take it seriously. if it is not important, then why is the government so active in trying to ensure that the definition of anti—semitism is embedded... i�*m anti-semitism is embedded... i'm afraid we anti—semitism is embedded... i'm afraid we have just lost the line and we are out of time. we definitely heard what you had to say before that. thank you very much for coming on the programme. the nhs is �*yet to see a single penny�* of the 500 million pound adult social care discharge fund announced by therese coffey when she was health secretary, that�*s according to the nhs confederation. the confederation — which represents the health and care system in england, wales and northern ireland, has called on the new health secretary, steve barclay, to make releasing the money an �*immediate priority.�* ministers said the money was to help get medically fit patients out of hospital and ease the burden on the nhs this winter. the department of health and social care has told us local authorities and providers will work together
2:44 pm
on how best to use that cash. earlier i spoke to matthew taylor, who�*s the chief executive of the nhs confederation. having people trapped in hospital is a huge problem. your health will tend to worsen because you don�*t get any activity. it is better for you to be at home in the community. it is an expensive place for people to be, as well. the government are aware of this huge problem and it is one of the reasons why ambulances are queueing up outside emergency departments because there are no beds free in hospitals because those patients can�*t get out of the back of the hospital, as it were. the government announced five weeks ago £500 million to help with this problem — money directed primarily at social care. that was money for the winter. here we are now five weeks later and we are still waiting for that money and the problem it was supposed to address is still a severe problem. the health and care system is suffering from the consequences of the kind of volatile political
2:45 pm
position we have been in for the last few weeks and the policy inertia. we really need that money out this week and the government has got to tell us how exactly it is going to be spent. 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. they 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
2:46 pm
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 people�*s homes. we had also to explore 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. the headlines on bbc news...

pressure on the home secretary suella braverman to tackle conditions at a kent migrant processing centre. bbc news has obtained pictures of the conditions inside the processing centre. in this image, you can see children playing on a tennis court, encircled by metal barriers. suella braverman will make a commons statement at 5pm this evening about the migrant crisis, as well as addressing her breach of the ministerial code. more than 200 dogs have participated in a special halloween charity walk, dressed in their very own spooky attire. the pack were led by pumpkin, a paralysed west highland terrier, with the help of her wheelchair. simon sparks went to meet her.
2:48 pm
this is pumpkin at only ten weeks old, just getting used to her wheels. but now look at her. stronger and faster than ever. last year money was being raised so that pumpkin could have an operation. but that wasn�*t possible. it was revealed that pumpkin�*s spine had been broken due to extreme trauma. something we wasn�*t aware of and something we weren�*t prepared for. so the money raised for her operation has started a charity instead. called pumpkin and friends, with pumpkin being the charity ambassador. oh, yes! right on cue. well—trained! pumpkin has developed this very, very cheeky personality. and this is why her videos go viral, because she is full of personality. isn�*t it? that�*s enough now!
2:49 pm
in the 12 months, pumpkin has raised over £50,000. we provide wheelchairs, hydrotherapy, physiotherapy. the animals that we help are called wheelie good friends. 42 of which are dogs. and then we have a little goat that we�*ve helped. the goat is a five—month—old goat called little legs. and he is gorgeous. her charity has earned her the title of hero dog of the year. but for her final big money raiser, the halloween dog walk in lincoln, she faced a dilemma. she has a choice of two costumes. a spooky spider or a cute pumpkin. and here they are. so what do you think she went as? the spooky spider on the left? 0r pumpkin as a pumpkin on the right? she wouldn�*t walk with a hat though, as she hates it. well, the spider was top choice. pumpkin was too obvious, wasn�*t it? and she took the lead with over 200 dogs in their scary costumes, raising money so other dogs can benefit in the future.

simon spark, bbc news, lincoln. social media has given witchcraft a new lease of life on tiktok as videos featuring the hashtag "witchtok" have amassed more than 30 billion views. the content so—called "generation hex" are producing includes performing spells, potion tutorials, tarot readings, and documenting their day—to—day lives as witches. 0ur reporter, clairejones, has been to meet some of the women performing witchcraft in cornwall. ayla skinner has amassed a huge following on tiktok by performing what she describes as spells and magic. stir in some magic 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
2:51 pm
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. 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
2:52 pm
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. she healed and protected i with spells and with charms.

news in cornwall. the new owner of twitter, the billionaire elon musk has said that process of users gaining a blue tick next to their name in order to show their account is verified is set to be revised. reports suggest the firm could begin charging users $20 a month to have a prestigious blue tick on their profile. it comes as the billionaire businessman came under fire for tweeting a weblink to an unfounded conspiracy about the attack on the us house speaker, nancy pelosi�*s husband last week. mr musk has since deleted the tweet. for more on all of this, let�*s talk to the technology journalist chris stokel—walker. thank you for coming on the programme. what do you make of this idea that verified users, the blue tick, actually now you will have to pay an amount per month to get one? i will not be paying $240 a year or
2:55 pm
$20 a month for it but i think that there will be some that do. at the minute, verification on twitter, which is essentially a small blue tick after your name, is free. there is a paid version of twitter which is a paid version of twitter which is around $5 a month, that gives you access to some features like editing pleats but there is this idea that those two things will become bundled into this subscription. and the idea i think is to try and make money out of twitter. i think elon musk is looking at this thinking, i paid over the odds for the company and need to try and recoup some of those losses and by doing so, i can try and maybe turn a profit on this but i don�*t think it is something that most people will be looking for, especially if users start to abandon twitter, because what is the point of paying for something that is a diminishing return?— diminishing return? let's take a ste- back diminishing return? let's take a step back and — diminishing return? let's take a step back and look _ diminishing return? let's take a step back and look at _ diminishing return? let's take a step back and look at the - diminishing return? let's take a step back and look at the wider| step back and look at the wider future of the company. it is pretty hard to predict because elon musk is pretty hard to predict but where do you see the company going from here?
2:56 pm
i think that we are on a rocky phase from the minute and this will likely continue for the next couple of months as elon musk beds in. i think we will see him trying to test the limits of what is actually allowed on twitter. most recently as you highlighted, him tweeting a conspiracy theory about nancy pelosi�*s husband and then deciding to delete it and i think the deletion is actually really significant because elon musk has this vision of twitter that he wants a free speech utopia, somewhere where people who maybe hold relatively unpalatable beliefs are able to say what they want, provided that it able to say what they want, provided thatitis able to say what they want, provided that it is not absolutely illegal, whereas twitter over the last few years has kind of tried very hard to tackle some of those issues outsource and make it a more comfortable place to be. elon musk is very much hands off on this and he will probably want to try and leave it hands off but he won�*t be able to because we have huge
2:57 pm
political regulation coming for social media and elon musk is kind of a lightning rod already for that. that�*s really interesting. there are people who are just fundamentally uncomfortable with the idea of an arbitrary billionaire having so much control over free speech and what is right and what is wrong. we should remember that actually does a private company based in us and countries, the european union, whoever it is, will actually decide fundamentally had made those regulations. fundamentally had made those regulations-— fundamentally had made those reuulations. , , , regulations. this is the underlying issue with all _ regulations. this is the underlying issue with all social— regulations. this is the underlying issue with all social media - regulations. this is the underlying issue with all social media and - regulations. this is the underlying issue with all social media and it | issue with all social media and it issue with all social media and it is something that we forget but it kind of gets i supposed crystallised in the current elon musk situation. all of these platforms that we take as our public forums, facebook, twitter, all of these are privately owned or have previously run privately and they are not public utilities, they are the whims of their leadership and those leaderships are individuals at the heart of it and they have personal opinions. we presume that they are public spaces but actually we go by
2:58 pm
their rules and if it is up to them to change things, it is up to them. i am sure we will hear plenty more suggestions as to how things will change. thank you very much. now it�*s time for a look at the weather. hello, there. although the final statistics are still being counted, 0ctober 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
2:59 pm
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
3:00 pm
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. suella braverman will make a commons
3:01 pm
statement at 5pm this evening about the migrant crisis — as well as addressing her breach of the ministerial code. bbc news has obtained pictures of the conditions inside the manston 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 victorious comeback. brazil�*s former president lula da silva beats his far—right opponent jair bolsanaro to win his old job back. funerals begin for some of the 154 victims who died after a deadly crush in seoul. hope to find survivors is fading after a bridge collapsed in western india. 141 people are now known to have died. all captive birds in england will have to be kept indoors from next monday because of the country�*s largest ever outbreak of bird flu.

suella braverman, the home secretary is going to make a statement to mps in the house of commons about the situation at manston and they�*re likely to be questions about how it�*s been allowed to get to this point where as you said we have more than double the number of people who should be at that facility being held there longer than they should be. there will be a lot of questions to suella braverman about how it has developed and in particular sources have told the bbc and suggested that she herself had failed to sign off on measures which could have eased that pressure, even though she had been warned that the government was acting outside the law and breaking acting outside the law and breaking a statutory duty. sources have claimed that priti patel, when she was home secretary, she had been reluctant to sign off on more hotel bookings but had done it because she was aware it was her statutoryjury duty to do so and other sources told the bbc the grant shapps in the few days that he was home secretary had
3:08 pm
taken action to ease congestion during his time in the role. she is likely to face a lot of questions on that. the home office so far has said that they�*ve taken urgent decisions to alleviate issues at manston and sourced alternative accommodation claims that advice was deliberately ignored was completely baseless. labour have been looking up baseless. labour have been looking up the backlog in the asylum system suggesting that the whole system needs to be overhauled. lets suggesting that the whole system needs to be overhauled. lets have a look at suella _ needs to be overhauled. lets have a look at suella braverman's - needs to be overhauled. lets have a look at suella braverman's account. look at suella braverman�*s account of her breaking the ministerial code when she was in the job last time round. she released a statement giving some more details. she round. she released a statement giving some more details. she sent a letter to the — giving some more details. she sent a letter to the home _ giving some more details. she sent a letter to the home affairs _ giving some more details. she sent a letter to the home affairs select - letter to the home affairs select committee, setting out her version of what happened, her account of what happened on the 19th of october. this was the day she sent an e—mailfrom her private e—mail address with an official government document attached to it to another
3:09 pm
member of parliament and copied in someone by mistake who was a staff member of a different mp, and she has admitted and reiterated today that she was wrong to do that and that she was wrong to do that and that did breach the ministerial code. it is why she resigned, but there have been questions about how quickly she had alerted people about the fact she had done this and said in her resignation letter that she had done it rapidly. there have been some questions about that. today she has set out in quite a lot of detail, in along the 7—page letter the details of the day to boil it down for you, she explains she was using her personal e—mail because she had been returning by car after the national crime agency raid and did not have a departmental phone with her and she explained that she had not reported it immediately that she had known she had sent it to the wrong person because she had been in meetings all mornings and ask the
3:10 pm
recipient who got it by mistakes to delete it and went on to claim that she had alerted her private secretary that she wanted to fully report the breach and made to the cabinet secretary aware of that and said she was not aware that the chief whip in charge of discipline had already reported it to the prime minister, so a very long and detailed account and it also emerges that a review has found she had used her personal e—mail to receive element documents on another six occasions when she was home secretary the first time round but the head civil servant had accepted her explanation as to why she did that and she needed to look at them on a screen while she was using her departmental phone for a video call. that is her account of events. labour say it fails to answer the serious questions about her irresponsible conduct and says neither she nor the prime minister,
3:11 pm
who of course, rishi sunak reappointed her to the role, recognise the gravity of the issues. helen, thank you for that. we will look a bit more of the situation in manston where we�*ve heard about the huge numbers of people, 4000 or so compared to the 1600 that are designed to be on the site. i�*m joined now by migration expert, and author of �*hostile environment: how immigrants became scapegoats�*, maya goodfellow. we are learning more details about what is happening at the site. your reaction? the _ what is happening at the site. your reaction? the first _ what is happening at the site. �*1’f7i,." reaction? the first thing to say about this and it does tend to get lost when people think about immigration is that these are people. these are people who have been put into this really horrendous situation and there are at least eight cases of diphtheria and mrsa at the site, and this is a major question about asking how the
3:12 pm
governor has handled this, questions around suella braverman and her allegedly not booking hotel accommodation, but there�*s also the broader picture and we really need to contextualise this, and it�*s important to do that that there�*s been a lot of talk about increased numbers of people coming to the uk to claim asylum but if we look at the growing asylum backlog, it does not coincide with the number of people claiming asylum, which has stayed relatively steady over the past ten years. some increases but not in line with the number of backlogs, so what this is about is the government making sure peoples claims are processed and for the record, despite what politicians will say, most people, even if they go to appeal, they end up getting asylum in the uk.— go to appeal, they end up getting asylum in the uk. what is the reason for the extended _ asylum in the uk. what is the reason for the extended backlog _ asylum in the uk. what is the reason for the extended backlog then? - asylum in the uk. what is the reason for the extended backlog then? i - for the extended backlog then? i think there's a number of issues think there�*s a number of issues around the political will of dealing with these situations. we had a lot of tough talk on the last two years over channel crossings and one thing
3:13 pm
to say about what�*s happened over the last 2448 hours is more people were sent to this immigration centre yesterday after the attack at dover when someone threw petrol bombs at another immigration centre in dover and the broader political context in which that happens where hostility has been stoked up against people seeking asylum for decades, that has increased in intensity and hostility over the past ten years and even more so in the last few years, so it is about is that of politicians talking about how people are illegitimate asylum seekers, they need to make sure peoples claims are assessed fairly and there�*s not a hostile system that we see and making sure in the meantime people have a decent life. lots of people are left destitute when they wait for asylum claims and i�*ve interviewed many people who they enter into the system having already been traumatised by whatever they have left in their home country and arrive here and they end up with nothing but hostility. this is about culture change as much about policy

3:15 pm
and now nearly 4000 there. absolutely and what we know is that the home office were projecting themselves that the numbers look likely to be around the 40,000 mark this year. they are at 38,000 already and we know around just less than 1500 people travelled across over the weekend, so i want to know what the home office have been doing to plan for this. the chief inspector of borders and immigration talked about planning for the worst and hoping that the best and itjust seems to me at the moment that the plans have not been put in place to deal with this, and i do want to know what suella braverman was doing when she arrived in the home office in september, when we knew already the figures were very high in august. what steps was she taking then? there are allegations that she did not do anything as the numbers started to rise.— started to rise. there were allegations _ started to rise. there were allegations this _ started to rise. there were - allegations this morning that one of the home secretaries and the mp would not specify which one, and was
3:16 pm
told and warned about the increasing numbers and didn�*t, for example, book more hotel space, didn�*t increase capacity. what do you think that whoever made the decision should be the consequence for them? clearly home secretary when faced with rising numbers of people coming across in a small boat and being warned by officials that action needs to be taken, to decide not to act calls into question her judgment. we are talking about vulnerable people here. we are talking about families and children making some of those journeys across the channel, and more importantly, there is the legal framework around this and there may be breaches of the law. so it�*s really important to be clear which home secretary we are talking about and what the actual chain of events were and at what stage decisions were not made. i think that will be very important. we will see we get the clarification
3:17 pm
later on. can i move to the other issue of why the home secretary is dominating the headlines today and thatis dominating the headlines today and that is the further detail she has given about what happened when she broke the ministerial code using her personal e—mail to send documents to her personal e—mail address. what was your reaction when you read that further explanation?— further explanation? well, i haven't asked for a — further explanation? well, i haven't asked for a letter _ further explanation? well, i haven't asked for a letter from _ further explanation? well, i haven't asked for a letter from the - further explanation? well, i haven't asked for a letter from the home i asked for a letterfrom the home secretary. it arrived in my inbox this morning and i think she felt she had to put her account of what happened forward and it�*s a shame that this was not done earlier because we have had this story running the whole of last week since she was appointed and i think there are many questions that arise out of the account given and i�*m sure other politicians will want to raise those directly with the home secretary, but i think there are questions around judgment and also accountability. it�*s taken far too long for this letter to have been written by the home secretary, it seems to me. she should have come to parliament last week to talk about
3:18 pm
what happened but also to start to address what i�*ve been describing today around the crisis at manston on what she�*s doing about that. that is really where her attention should be focused today. but is really where her attention should be focused today.— be focused today. but given those issues and dealing _ be focused today. but given those issues and dealing with _ be focused today. but given those issues and dealing with those - be focused today. but given those i issues and dealing with those issues issues and dealing with those issues is a matter ofjudgment, when you read the letter and it finishes with an apology saying she accepted responsibility, do you think that is the end of the matter? i responsibility, do you think that is the end of the matter?— responsibility, do you think that is the end of the matter? i don't think it will be in — the end of the matter? i don't think it will be in parliament _ the end of the matter? i don't think it will be in parliament today. - the end of the matter? i don't think it will be in parliament today. i'm i it will be in parliament today. i�*m sure there will be questions raised from all sides of the house. this isn�*tjust opposition parties raising concerns. there will be many questions she will be asked to answer about her account in that letter. d0 answer about her account in that letter. , 7, answer about her account in that letter. 7 7, 77 77, 7 answer about her account in that letter. 7 7, 77 7 7, 7 letter. do you have confidence in her as home _ letter. do you have confidence in her as home secretary? - letter. do you have confidence in her as home secretary? the - letter. do you have confidence in i her as home secretary? the home affairs select _ her as home secretary? the home affairs select committee's - her as home secretary? the home affairs select committee's job - her as home secretary? the home affairs select committee's job is i her as home secretary? the home| affairs select committee's job is to affairs select committee�*s job is to scrutinise policy and the fermentation policy in the home office so who the prime minister office so who the prime minister decides he wants to have for home secretary as a matter for him but clearly at the moment the home office seems to be failing on this 0ffice seems to be failing on this very important part of its work around immigration and asylum, so thatis around immigration and asylum, so that is the focus of the home

3:20 pm
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.
3:21 pm
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 is not the biggest thief 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,
3:22 pm
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. in sao paulo, brazil.

3:24 pm
victory which makes it hard for bolsonaro. some of his supporters have already taken to the streets and there are truck drivers blocking roads and a bunch of states but whether those protests continue and become something more dangerous is going to depend on the message from bolsonaro himself. what going to depend on the message from bolsonaro himself.— bolsonaro himself. what happens in brazil is important _ bolsonaro himself. what happens in brazil is important for _ bolsonaro himself. what happens in brazil is important for the _ bolsonaro himself. what happens in brazil is important for the rest - bolsonaro himself. what happens in brazil is important for the rest of. brazil is important for the rest of the world, and one of that is the amazon and so much depends on what happens there. what changes do you think will happen now bolsonaro —— lula is in charge? think will happen now bolsonaro -- lula is in charge?— lula is in charge? bolsonaro saw seen a spike _ lula is in charge? bolsonaro saw seen a spike and _ lula is in charge? bolsonaro saw seen a spike and he _ lula is in charge? bolsonaro saw seen a spike and he has - lula is in charge? bolsonaro saw seen a spike and he has said - lula is in charge? bolsonaro saw seen a spike and he has said he| lula is in charge? bolsonaro saw. seen a spike and he has said he will mmp seen a spike and he has said he will ramp up enforcement and re—establish the environment ministry and will seek international support to do that but also try to work on providing sustainable development of the region so people don�*t need to
3:25 pm
deforest. that is a really ambitious agenda, how much he can get done and thatis agenda, how much he can get done and that is still in question, but what you do not have from bolsonaro is the desire to make a difference and that can go a long way. just the desire to make a difference and that can go a long way.— that can go a long way. just lastly, the idea that _ that can go a long way. just lastly, the idea that bolsonaro _ that can go a long way. just lastly, the idea that bolsonaro who - that can go a long way. just lastly, the idea that bolsonaro who lost i the idea that bolsonaro who lost this time, the donald trump of the tropics and does not have the attachment to democratic norms and values that many would like, even in defeat, his influence will still be felt. 77 7 77 7 7 defeat, his influence will still be felt. 77 777 7 7 . 7 felt. that is absolutely right. just a little less _ felt. that is absolutely right. just a little less than _ felt. that is absolutely right. just a little less than half _ felt. that is absolutely right. just a little less than half of _ felt. that is absolutely right. just a little less than half of the - a little less than half of the electorate voted for bolsonaro despite the things that he said and the threats he has made and it shows that this kind of far right populism is very popular in brazil and indeed a lot of his allies won their congressional elections, so brazil is still on edge and it will be
3:26 pm
possibly a turbulent couple of months in brazil going forward. great to get your thoughts. thank you. the government has dropped plans to create an official definition of islamaphobia, according to a report in the independent newspaper. the creation of an official definition was promised by the government back in 2019. when asked about reports, the government told bbc news we remain committed to stamping out anti—muslim hatred and all forms of religious prejudice and we will outline our next steps in due course. joining me now is mohammed amin, former chairman of the conservative muslim forum. what do you make of the reports that the work. on creating a definition? i think the problem of creating an official definition of islamophobia was always a blind alley. the
3:27 pm
problem is, since 1997 we�*ve had so many different definitions of islamophobia. i�*m not convinced the government could make its own definition stick in the sense that in the future, when people argue about islamophobia, most people would not be looking at the precise letters and words of the government�*s definition but would be thinking back to previous definitions they�*ve been used to and arguing about those. i think it�*s much betterfor the arguing about those. i think it�*s much better for the government to focus clearly on what are the real problems in our society, within anti—muslim hatred. but problems in our society, within anti-muslim hatred.— problems in our society, within anti-muslim hatred. but we have had iuests on anti-muslim hatred. but we have had guests on an — anti-muslim hatred. but we have had guests on an earlier— anti-muslim hatred. but we have had guests on an earlier saying _ anti-muslim hatred. but we have had guests on an earlier saying that - guests on an earlier saying that this lack of a commitment to a definition, in their eyes, shows the government is not serious about trying to tackle this.— trying to tackle this. that's a similar question _ trying to tackle this. that's a similar question about - trying to tackle this. that's a i similar question about whether trying to tackle this. that's a - similar question about whether the government is sufficiently focused on countering anti—muslim hatred, and i think the government should have its eat held to the fire on the issue. i think arguing about definitions of islamophobia is a blind alley.

3:29 pm
host and if tab, that is the kind of action that spreads the message. but in the past we�*ve heard too much about muslims and terrorism are not enough about what muslims are doing positively for our society. iterate enough about what muslims are doing positively for our society.— positively for our society. we have to leave it there, _ positively for our society. we have to leave it there, but _ positively for our society. we have to leave it there, but thank - positively for our society. we have to leave it there, but thank you i positively for our society. we have | to leave it there, but thank you for your time. let�*s get the weather with helen. it remains mild out and about for the rest of the day but there�*s quite a lot of wet weather with us, again for northern ireland, western parts of scotland and increasing amounts of scotland and increasing amounts of heavy showers, even thundery showers will migrate north across england and wales, so it could be quite wet out and about and quite windy. there is a met office warning for gales across south—eastern parts through the second half of the night and with all of the wind and cloud and with all of the wind and cloud and rain, a wet night for many and remains on the male side as well overnight. by the time we get

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�* by what he called a �*heartbreaking�* disaster. 0ur correspondent, jean mackenzie, has the latest from seoul. just before that, some breaking news in the house of commons, and urgent question from tobias ellwood about the treatment of women aboard submarines in the royal navy. before i set iioin, submarines in the royal navy. before i get going. mr— submarines in the royal navy. before i get going, mr speaker, _ submarines in the royal navy. before i get going, mr speaker, can - submarines in the royal navy. before i get going, mr speaker, can i - i get going, mr speaker, can i register my interest as entered in the register, i am a serving reservist and for this particular issue, i have two daughters currently serving in the armed forces. i was concerned by the recent reports in the media that
3:37 pm
prompted this u0, little knowing that i would be answering at the saturn. allegations of bullying, harassment and sexual assault are and will be taken extremely seriously. any activity which falls short of the higher standards of the royal navy is totally unacceptable and not a true reflection of what life should be. sexual assault and harassment has no place in the royal navy and it will not be tolerated. the first sea lord has directed a formal investigation into these allegations and this commenced on the 24th of october. this independent investigating team being led by a senior female officer will thoroughly examine the allegations and report back very soon. it is understood the named individual has agreed to meet the team to give her account. defence will also review the culture and report to ministers in due course. the house will
3:38 pm
understand it would be premature to offer any further comment until those investigations are complete. however anyone found culpable will be held accountable for their actions regardless of their ranking and their status. while some of the incidents referred to in the media are historical, it is important to note the large—scale policy changes that were introduced across defence in the past year. as a result, defence will deal with incidents and allegations of sexual assault better. the new policies will ensure zero tolerance of an acceptable sexual behaviour and sexual exploitation. all allegations of sexual offences will be responded to, victims given greater support and there will be a presumption of discharge for anyone found to be engaging in this kind of behaviour. these policies will ensure going forward defence will deal with these types of incidents differently. they
3:39 pm
will build confidence in ability to deal with an acceptable behaviour and is —— demonstrate the support of people that are victims of this behaviour, that is a top priority. the house should be reassured the royal navy is continuing to take decisive action to address the allegations that have been brought to life and will report when the investigations are complete, at which point i feel sure, mr speaker, they will be a further opportunity to explore the detail.— to explore the detail. britain can be immensely — to explore the detail. britain can be immensely proud _ to explore the detail. britain can be immensely proud of - to explore the detail. britain can be immensely proud of our - to explore the detail. britain can | be immensely proud of our royal navy. _ be immensely proud of our royal navy, which over the centuries has helped _ navy, which over the centuries has helped define who we are as a nation and today, _ helped define who we are as a nation and today, it — helped define who we are as a nation and today, it is the best ring, and best— and today, it is the best ring, and best disciplined maritime force in the world — best disciplined maritime force in the world. it is deeply concerning to see _ the world. it is deeply concerning to see more reports emerging of inappropriate behaviour, this taimani _ inappropriate behaviour, this taimani very submarines that provide our nuclear— taimani very submarines that provide our nuclear deterrent. i certainly welcome — our nuclear deterrent. i certainly welcome the promise of an

and i would like to say to him, i have not read from cover to cover, i have not read from cover to cover, i have only been in post for a short time. you will note the mod has already accepted most of the recommendations was up i cannot think of a report in recent times in which so many of the recommendations have been accepted and are being carried out. he will be familiar with tackling sexual offending in defence of cause and the zero tolerance approach pieces of work published this year. i congratulate him and his committee and say the great majority of the things he has recommended are being carried out or will be carried out and i congratulate his committee and our honourable friend. that congratulate his committee and our honourable friend.— honourable friend. that was the minister responding _ honourable friend. that was the minister responding to - honourable friend. that was the minister responding to that - honourable friend. that was the i minister responding to that urgent question in the house of commons. you might have heard him use the
3:43 pm
phrase u0, that means urgent question and that was actually raised by tobias ellwood, who we also heard from. he was raising the urgent matter in his eyes of a report over the weekend of the treatment of women aboard submarines in the royal navy and the minister responding, saying anyone found culpable will be held responsible. if there are any more comments of note on that in the chamber, of course, we will keep an era across it and bring those to you. just before that, i was telling you about those awful events in south korea, king giles sending that —— king charles iii, with his message of sympathy. the grief travels far beyond those who have lost someone. the whole country is mourning. as it struggles to comprehend how so many young people
3:44 pm
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 worked in construction but dreamed of 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. all the victims are
3:45 pm
the same age with me. 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 burial in the rooms 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. how will he cope with the loss, he asks. this man has been friends with james since he was eight. translation: i was such a shy kid. i only had one friend butjames helped me become more extroverted and make friends.
3:46 pm
the pain reverberates out, because of a sense of these deaths were avoidable. after days of questioning, police have admitted they failed to notice how quickly the deadly crowd had grown. jean mackenzie, bbc news, seoul. police in india have made nine arrests after a suspension bridge collapsed, killing at least 141 people. the pedestrian bridge, in the western state of gujurat, had onlyjust reopened after repair work and reports say some of the arrests are from the construction firm that carried out the work. 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 machchhu river. it�*s unlikely at this point that they will find any survivors — they�*ve been doing this for hours.
3:47 pm
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 walkway, 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 moment 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. and in a hospital close by, where the injured have been taken —
3:48 pm
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. . 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. ukraine says 12 cargo ships loaded with key grain exports left its black sea ports today. russia pulled out of the un—brokered deal on saturday after an attack on its black sea fleet, and it remains unknown how its forces will respond to the resumption of the shipments.
3:49 pm
the us have condemned the move saying that the russian withdrawal from the deal was "weaponising food". joining me now for more on this story is rhiannon phillips, an intel analyst for sibylline. thank you very much for coming on the programme. 0ver thank you very much for coming on the programme. over the weekend, russia saying it is basically pulling out of this deal that allows that crucial grain to leave ukraine and get around the rest of the world and get around the rest of the world and then we see that some ships are leaving. what do you make of where we are? ides leaving. what do you make of where we are? �* 7 7 7, leaving. what do you make of where we are? �*7 leaving. what do you make of where weare?7, 7, we are? as you said, moscow over the weekend basically _ we are? as you said, moscow over the weekend basically saying _ we are? as you said, moscow over the weekend basically saying there - we are? as you said, moscow over the weekend basically saying there had . weekend basically saying there had been several maritime drones that had attacked their fleets. this provide the pretext for them to withdraw from the deal. we have already seen reports of up to 60 vessels receiving the green light in the past 24—hour is and they are
3:50 pm
expected to deliver grain to the european, asian and african markets but this is a trilateral agreement and russia is not part of the agreement. we have only seen it between ukraine, turkey and representatives. they have been 60 vessels that have left, up to 218 disrupted vessels today, that is quite a considerable number. that is quite a considerable number. that is quite critical. quite a considerable number. that is quite critical-— quite critical. let's stick onto that disruption, _ quite critical. let's stick onto that disruption, what - quite critical. let's stick onto that disruption, what impact| quite critical. let's stick onto - that disruption, what impact does that disruption, what impact does that have, increase prices customer already since this morning we have seen the prices increase by 7.7%. it is worth noting this is not as high as the peak we saw back in march after the initial invasion which was much higher. but ultimately this is going to exacerbate... idate

3:52 pm
last year money was being raised so that pumpkin could have an operation. but that wasn�*t possible. it was revealed that pumpkin�*s spine had been broken due to extreme trauma. something we wasn�*t aware of and something we weren�*t prepared for. so the money raised for her operation has started a charity instead. called pumpkin and friends, with pumpkin being the charity ambassador. oh, yes! right on cue. well—trained! pumpkin has developed this very, very cheeky personality. and this is why her videos go viral, because she is full of personality. isn�*t it? that�*s enough now! in the 12 months, pumpkin has raised over £50,000. we provide wheelchairs, hydrotherapy, physiotherapy. the animals that we help are called wheelie good friends. 42 of which are dogs.
3:53 pm
and then we have a little goat that we�*ve helped. the goat is a five—month—old goat called little legs. and he is gorgeous. her charity has earned her the title of hero dog of the year. but for her final big money raiser, the halloween dog walk in lincoln, she faced a dilemma. she has a choice of two costumes. a spooky spider or a cute pumpkin. and here they are. so what do you think she went as? the spooky spider on the left? 0r pumpkin as a pumpkin on the right? she wouldn�*t walk with a hat though, as she hates it. well, the spider was top choice. pumpkin was too obvious, wasn�*t it? and she took the lead with over 200 dogs in their scary costumes, raising money so other dogs can benefit in the future. simon spark, bbc news, lincoln.

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, witch, you know, and that is not necessarily true. 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

ever outbreak of bird flu. the government says it remains committed to stamping out anti—muslim hatred, despite reports that it�*s dropped plans draw up an official definition of islamophobia. it's it�*s very disappointing it�*s happened. it seems like successive governments in the last five years have failed to deal with this real concern of islamophobia and have dismissed the concerns of muslim communities. pressure is mounting on home secretary suella braverman over the government�*s management of migrant processing centres. she�*s due to make a statement to mps later this afternoon.
4:02 pm
she will also address an attack on a facility in dover yesterday, which 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 1,600. more people were sent to manston after a petrol bomb attack on a separate migrant facility in dover. our political correspondent, helen catt is at westminster. what are we expecting in westminster? we will hear from the home secretary suella braverman about the conditions at manston. as you say, it is a centre used for processing migrants and is on an old disused airfield in kent. we are expecting her to address those. it�*s been the first time she has spoken about this, so expect plenty of questions about how the situation
4:03 pm
has been allowed to develop, but there are large numbers of people who come over and the weather is good and we�*ve had a good spell of good and we�*ve had a good spell of good weather and there will be questions about how it has got to the point it has very specifically about suella braverman�*s own role in sources have told the bbc that she had failed to take the steps needed to move people out of that centre, despite being told, it being made crystal clear, that the government was outside of the law and was breaking a statutory duty there and sources have told the bbc that the home secretary, sorry, the home office have said in response that claims that advice was deliberately ignored are completely baseless and the home secretary had taken urgent decisions to alleviate issues at manston and source alternative accommodation so we will hear questions about that and perhaps a fuller explanation from suella braverman in response to the claims. and the separate reason, but very
4:04 pm
much linked, that people will be interested to hear from the home secretary this afternoon is her further explanation about why she resigned for breaking the ministerial code the last time she had thejob. home office ministerial code the last time she had the job. home office sources suggested she would not talk about that in her statement but i suspect there will be questions from the backbenches and this is in relation to an e—mailshe backbenches and this is in relation to an e—mail she sent, an official document from her personal e—mail to another mp in parliament, and copying in someone by mistake who worked for a different mp and there�*s been a lot of questions about what happened there and about how quickly she owned up to this and raised it with authorities and said she had done it rapidly. there had been suggestions that there had been a period of several hours between the mistake of being noticed and her reporting it. today she sent a letter to the home affairs select committee detailing, and it�*s quite

long, seven pages long. she committee detailing, and it's quite long, seven pages long. she detailed what happened _ long, seven pages long. she detailed what happened on — long, seven pages long. she detailed what happened on the _ long, seven pages long. she detailed what happened on the 19th _ long, seven pages long. she detailed what happened on the 19th of- long, seven pages long. she detailed| what happened on the 19th of october to give her version of events and to try to boil it down for you, because it is long and detailed. she is in effect said she was using her personal e—mail because she was coming back in a carfrom an early morning raid with the national crime agency which is why the document was on her personal e—mail and in terms of declaring it, in terms of the speed of alerting authorities to it, she basically says she was in meetings all morning, back—to—back meetings all morning, back—to—back meetings she had sent an e—mail about ten o�*clock asking the person who had received it in error to delete it and then went to start the process of reporting it at about midday by alerting her private secretary and getting that pass to the most senior civil service in the home office. she says that this was after she had coincidentally bumped into the chief whip and mp who staff member was sent in error and says she was unaware that the chief whip
4:06 pm
had wanted to speak to her about it and was unaware of messages that the mp had copied and had centre. she raised concerns that she was going to raise it with the chief whip and she did not know about it until after the process of declaring it and said she was not aware that the prime minster was informed by the chief weapon that was her account of events. 77 .7 chief weapon that was her account of events. 77 ,, 7 7, 7, 7 7 7, events. thank you for spelling out those two separate _ events. thank you for spelling out those two separate sides - events. thank you for spelling out those two separate sides to i events. thank you for spelling out those two separate sides to the i those two separate sides to the story. and so you know, we will be looking at those e—mails and the whole cyber issue around using e—mails for work—related issues, and we will chat to an expert in that in just a moment. let's go back to the issue of the migration centres that issue of the migration centres that is top of the headlines today. some 4000 migrants being housed at manston processing centre, even
4:07 pm
though it's only meant for up to 1600 or so, and more people were sender after a petrol bomb attack on a separate migrant facility in dover. let's get around up from our correspondence. we need your help. this video was 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. a facility designed to take comfortably 1500 people and to move them on within 2a hours has turned into a refugee camp housing 4000 people and it is simply not fit for that purpose. most of these migrants are usually processed and then sent to hotels, but not recently. the mp thinks that was
4:08 pm
a deliberate decision. what i am saying, on pretty good authority, from the information i have been given, is that a policy decision was taken at the top in the home office to not commission more hotel space. it's not clear whether it was this home secretary, suella braverman, who may have done that. oran earlier one, which for a time was also her. or another one, way back, a few months ago. either way, the pressure is on to explain. there has been a huge increase in the backlog for files the home office is not taking decisions. they are only taking iii,000 decisions a year. they used to be taking twice as many asylum decisions as that. as a result you have a big increase in the backlog and that has caused problems. and of course we need much stronger action to prevent these dangerous boat crossings in the first place. in nearby dover police are investigating a fire bomb attack
4:09 pm
on immigration detention centre. it is not clear what is behind it but it highlights further the strain caused by a record number of migrant crossings. people, among them young children, keep coming on small, flimsy boats. some of almost 40,000 who have come this year so far are plucked from the water. whether the problem is pull factors on this site orfailing in france on the other side, every case represents a failure for a government that wants to control immigration and limit refugee numbers. robin brant, bbc news. joining me now is the director of the migrant rights pro—bono consultancy, daniel sohege. thank you for coming on the programme. thank you for coming on the programme-— thank you for coming on the rouramme. ., ~ i, ., ., programme. thank you for having me. what is your— programme. thank you for having me. what is your response _ programme. thank you for having me. what is your response specifically - what is your response specifically to the situation at manston, this processing centre and the huge number of people there? it is

4:14 pm

4:17 pm
commons this evening over the management of migrant processing centres. bbc news has obtained pictures of the conditions inside the manston processing centre and children can be seen playing on a tennis court encircled by metal barriers. all captive birds in england will have to be kept indoors from next monday because of the country's largest ever outbreak of bird flu. it was a tight race, but in the end — by a very narrow margin — brazil's left wing former leader luiz inacio lula da silva has won the country's presidential election. it's a stunning comeback for him, two decades after he first came into office. byjust two percentage points, he beat the far right incumbent, jair bolsonaro, who still hasn't conceded. under mr bolsonaro's rule, brazil suffered one of the world's deadliest outbreaks of covid, and deforestation in the amazon. our south america correspondent katy watson reports.
4:18 pm
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. i feel 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.
4:19 pm
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 is not the biggest thief 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,
4:20 pm
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.

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' by 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 mourning. 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.
4:22 pm
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 worked in construction but dreamed of 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. all the victims are the same age with me. so... i don't know, itjust feels so sad. i just want to pray for them.

police in india have made nine arrests after a suspension bridge collapsed, killing at least ilii people. the pedestrian bridge — in the western state of gujurat — had onlyjust reopened after repair work and reports say some of the arrests are from the construction firm that carried out the work. 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 machchhu 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
4:25 pm
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 walkway, 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 moment 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. and 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
4:26 pm
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. 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 opportunity. 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. harry's family say he was kind, gentle and intelligent and he was on course to get a high grade for his

from tpm instead of 39 shows across local radio in england there will be a team from six in the evening and then produces the ten, and then from 10pm in the evening what is described as an all england radio programme across all of the network in england. the bbc says that these measures are designed to deliver a greater online impact and put greater online impact and put greater resources and original journalism and constantly wants to attract younger audiences and get them away from things like pod casts and show them that the bbc is great for content for younger audiences as well. the government announced over —— earlier this year that the licence fee will be frozen for two years at £159 and that course and issue financially for the bbc, like organisations is seeing outgoings rise with the cost of living crisis and because inflation, so programmes are becoming more expensive and the

suella braverman has been under pressure to explain her actions since being reappointed as home secretary. earlier, ispoke since being reappointed as home secretary. earlier, i spoke to labour mp and chair of the home affairs committee, dame diana johnson. i affairs committee, dame diana johnson. ~' ., ,, . ., , johnson. i think the home secretary has to set out _ johnson. i think the home secretary has to set out very _ johnson. i think the home secretary has to set out very clearly _ johnson. i think the home secretary has to set out very clearly what - johnson. i think the home secretary has to set out very clearly what she | has to set out very clearly what she is going to do about the developing crisis. we on the committee heard really disturbing evidence last wednesday from the inspector of borders and immigration and i called an urgent question in parliament on thursday but the home secretary did not come to respond to that so i am glad that she will be responding today and i want to know first of all has she visited manston and what is she now going to do about this unfolding crisis?— is she now going to do about this unfolding crisis? what do you want to be done? _ unfolding crisis? what do you want to be done? the _ unfolding crisis? what do you want to be done? the numbers - unfolding crisis? what do you want to be done? the numbers are - unfolding crisis? what do you want| to be done? the numbers are quite significant. a centre built for 1600
4:41 pm
and now nearly 4000 there. absolutely and what we do know is the home office were projecting themselves that the numbers look like they would be around the 40,000 mark this year. there are 38,000 already and we know that around... just less than 1500 people travelled across the weekend. i want to know what the home office have been doing to plan for this. the chief inspector of borders and immigration talked about planning for the worst and hoping for the best and itjust seems to me at the moment that the plans have not been put in place to deal with this and i do want to know what suella braverman was doing when she arrived in the home office in september when we knew already the figures were very high in august. what steps was she taking then? there are allegations that she didn't do anything as those numbers started to rise.— started to rise. there were allegations _ started to rise. there were allegations this _ started to rise. there were allegations this morning i started to rise. there were l allegations this morning that started to rise. there were - allegations this morning that a started to rise. there were _ allegations this morning that a home
4:42 pm
secretary, the mp did not know which one, was told and warned about the increasing numbers and did not for example put more hotel space, did not increase capacity. what do you think whoever made that decision should be the consequence for them? clearly, a home secretary when faced with rising numbers of people coming across on the small boats and being warned by officials that action needs to be taken, to decide not to act really calls into question her judgment. we are talking about vulnerable people, we are talking about families and children that are making some of those journeys across the channel, and more importantly of course, there is a legalframework around this and there were maybe breaches of the law. it is really important to be clear which home secretary we are talking about and what the actual train of events were and at what stage decisions were or not made. i think that is going to be very important.—
4:43 pm
not made. i think that is going to be very important. thank you to dame diana johnson — be very important. thank you to dame diana johnson speaking _ be very important. thank you to dame diana johnson speaking to _ be very important. thank you to dame diana johnson speaking to me - diana johnson speaking to me earlier. we can speak now to our former home affairs correspondent. good afternoon. what do you think in your assessment is going so wrong, especially at this processing centre to start with? i especially at this processing centre to start with?— to start with? i think what we are seeinu is to start with? i think what we are seeing is the _ to start with? i think what we are seeing is the near _ to start with? i think what we are seeing is the near collapse - to start with? i think what we are seeing is the near collapse of - to start with? i think what we are seeing is the near collapse of the asylum system. there are problems at the front end at the back. at the front end, you have obviously got the small boat crossing that are continuing to come in, almost 40,000 people have come in already this year. the numbers are going to carry on coming up —— going up. the government said it would make the route unviable, those were the words of former home secretary priti patel, those were the words and they have failed to do it. that pressure will be manageable if the rest of the asylum system was working well and quickly but it is not. there is and quickly but it is not. there is a backlog of around 120,000 asylum claims that have not been dealt with
4:44 pm
and what that means is that all those asylum seekers waiting for their claims to be dealt with either have not been removed from the country if their claims have been declared inadmissible, or they have been rejected, or they have not been given refugee status till they can go out and find work and that is putting pressure on asylum accommodation and then on hotels, because there is not enough asylum accommodation for them and that is creating the pressure on manston. it is a bit like... there is pressure on both sides of the system and manston is caught in the middle. aha, manston is caught in the middle. a really clear and interesting explanation of exact where we are. can we look at how we try and get out of this? what steps do you think are necessary now? it is out of this? what steps do you think are necessary now?— are necessary now? it is a multipronged _ are necessary now? it is a multipronged approach. i are necessary now? it is a i multipronged approach. first are necessary now? it is a - multipronged approach. first of all, there has to be a big investment in caseworkers, home office caseworkers who can deal with these asylum applications. i think we heard some evidence last week at the home
4:45 pm
affairs committee that the numbers have increased to about 1000 decision—makers, the people able to make decisions on asylum applications, that has got to be speeded up, so you can get the decisions made more quickly. you also have to at the same time have a different approach towards our european partners, especially the french, i'm afraid, you know, the borisjohnson administration under boris johnson administration under priti borisjohnson administration under priti patel really took a view that they did not really want to cooperate with the french, they gave them some money and then they said rude things about them that they were not really doing theirjob properly, it was not a way to build consensus. what the government has to understand is that the french will assist us if we give them something in return. it may well be that there has to be some kind of asylum processing centre in northern france, may be as a pilot scheme, by which people can make their claims and then, if they are found to have been rejected, go on a small boat,
4:46 pm
cross into the uk, then those claims are automatically rejected and france has to take them back. there has to be some kind of agreement like that. there will also have to be more safe and legal route that refugees can come to the uk, so they don't have to make thatjourney. interesting. they are practical ideas that could easily situation. what do you make of the current ideas in place, the scheme to send people to rwanda? i ideas in place, the scheme to send people to rwanda?— ideas in place, the scheme to send people to rwanda? i have said from the beginning. _ people to rwanda? i have said from the beginning. i— people to rwanda? i have said from the beginning, i don't— people to rwanda? i have said from the beginning, i don't think - people to rwanda? i have said from the beginning, i don't think it - people to rwanda? i have said from the beginning, i don't think it will. the beginning, i don't think it will ever happen. i don't think those planes will get off the ground and they have not got off the ground so far. we are waiting for the high court to give its ruling on the legal challenges. but we have also had the issue whereby the aeroplane companies are refusing to fly people, which is a practical problem, so i think the problem is, evenif problem, so i think the problem is, even if the government gets the green light from the high court, there are going to be further appeals, further challenges in the
4:47 pm
higher courts, possibly up to the uk supreme court, and i think that is just going to make it really difficult for the government to remove people to rwanda and particularly at the scale that boris johnson was predicting some months ago. there would be hundreds of people on those flights. ijust can't see it happening and therefore, i don't think there is going to be the deterrent effect the government is hoping for. we need to be negotiating with the french and also investment in caseworkers. thank you very much for that. instagram is said to be looking into an issue preventing thousands of viewers from accessing the photo sharing platform. several users have complained about accounts being suspended. instagram said they were aware of and looking into the issue

energy infrastructure as winter approaches. power cuts have been recalled —— reported across the country, including in the major cities and in kyiv, where the mayor says many parts of the city are still without water and this has been a strategy from russia in recent weeks to damage the country's critical infrastructure ahead of winter and as a result, demoralise ukrainians was reacting to the attacks today, the ukrainian foreign minister said instead of fighting on the battlefield, russia was fighting civilians. and today's attacks happened to days after russia accused ukraine of attacking its black sea feet in occupied crimea. in response to that, moscow abandoned the landmark green deal that allowed ukraine to resume its grain exports, something that kyiv dismissed as blackmail. this morning, there were signs that this deal could survive. a dozen ships

4:56 pm
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 people's homes. we had also to explore 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. thanks for that and ben brownlee back at 5pm. now it's time for a look
