hello, i'm kasia madera. this is outside source. uk home secretary suella braverman defends her record over both the security of her own emails and conditions for asylum seekers. some 4,000 migrants are being housed at a centre in kent — it was built to hold just 1,600 people. the home secretary is accused of ignoring advice which could have eased pressure. when we face so many arrivals so quickly it is practically impossible to procure over 1000 beds at such short notice. consequently, we have recently expanded the site and are working

tirelessly to improve facilities. in other news: lula da silva makes a stunning political comeback beating president bolsanaro — in brazil's elections. but will mr bolsonaro concede defeat? and with just over a week to go — until the us midterm elections — we're assessing the political temperature in president biden�*s home state — pennsylvania. a warm welcome to the program. before we come onto the political situation in the united kingdom there is some breaking news from you from the united states for that we're getting reports that the attacker of nancy pelosi husband has been charged with attempted kidnapping is all for that this is according to the usjustice

department this is news that is just coming into us at the bbc you may recall that on friday at nancy pelosi zone while pelosi, her husband was struck with a hammer —— nancy pelosi is home. i think companies to couples san francisco home for the nancy policies has been is 82 years old and he was seriously injured —— nancy pelosi she was speaking of how she has been heartbroken and traumatised by this violent attack on her husband. they think the uk law enforcement for their quick response that this is just to add the breaking news that the attacker, nancy pelosi speaker of the house husband, has been charged with attempted kidnapping as though according to the us justice department for the fort action on that, of course we will bring to you that there is a lot of concern and

interest in the united states. the uk home secretary suella braverman has defended her record after coming under fire on two fronts — her handling of government emails and the worsening conditions at an overcrowded migrant processing centre in kent. hundreds more people were moved to the centre, manston, on sunday after a fire attack at a separate facility in dover. suella braverman has spoken in the house of commons a short while ago. the system is broken. the legal migration. the legal migration is out of control. enter many people are more interested in playing political games.

covering up the truth then solving the problem. i am utterly serious about ending the scourge of illegal migration. suella braverman has also faced further criticism over the security breach that lead to her resignation while liz truss was prime minister. here's what she had to say on that. there are some people who wouldprefer to be rid of me. who would prefer to be rid of me. cheering. order. madam deputy speaker, let them try. i know that i speak for the decent, law—abiding, patriotic majority from british people from every background that want safe and secure borders. labour is running scared that this party mightjust deliver them. this was the what the opposition labour party's shadow home secretary had to say. there are things there that confirmed the ferry outbreaks

reports of scabies and msra outbreaks also reports of violence and untrained staff of the she said nothing about what she was doing to address those immediate help crisis and also the issues brought untrained staff of that behind these are deeper failures untrained staff of that behind these are deeperfailures in untrained staff of that behind these are deeper failures in the governments policies on asylum and channel crossing for the decision making has collapsed. crossing for the decision making has collapsed. ms braverman�*s comments come a day after a petrol bomb attack at a home office migrant centre in dover. many migrants who arrive on uk soil in small boats are processed here, in the country's southeast. two people suffered minor injuries in the attack but the suspect later killed himself at a nearby petrol station. the home secretary has confirmed the attack isn't being treated as a terrorist incident but a review of security at the reception centre has now been ordered by the government. the attack meant that hundreds of people were then taken to another, already overcrowded,

migrant processing centre in nearby manston. the bbc has obtained these images showing the cramped conditions at the centre. one person who has been to the camp in recent days is the local mp, sir roger gale. a facility designed to take him to 1500 people and move them all within 2a hours has turned into a refugee camp housing 4000 people. it's simply not fit for that purpose. normally, the migrants at manston are processed and sent to hotels but this hasn't been happening recently because the hotel rooms weren't booked. it means that currently, around 4,000 migrants are housed last week the chief inspector of immigration described the situation at manston as "dangerous". here's our home affairs correspondent on the sort of living conditions people are facing. the inspector found somebody who's been there for 32 days,

she was a mother with children, they were sleeping on mats and in a marquee and ffectively, they have been camping for a month. so the question is — why weren't the hotels booked? sir roger gale thinks it was a deliberate decision. but i am staying on pretty good authority from the information that i have been given is that a policy decision was taken at a job, in the home office is not commission for hotel space. well the bbc has today been told that ms braverman failed to sign off on measures which could have eased pressure at manston, despite being warned that the government was acting outside the law by failing to do so. for more on this, here's our political correspondent, nick eardley. sources we've spoken to suggested this is extraordinary, that other home secretaries, even when they were reluctant to do so they booking hotels because they realised it was a legal requirement.

but in her first stint as home secretary suella braverman didn't. the word from the government is it is wrong to say that ms braverman delibrately ignored advice. they are saying that she did take urgent action. suella braverman once again insisted she did not block emergency accommodations for migrants in the comments this afternoon for the part of the problem is the record number of the problem is the record number of migrants crossing the english channel. the stretch of water separating the uk from the rest of europe, in small boats. almost 40,000 people have crossed the channel in dinghies so far this year. that's already considerably more than the 28,526 who crossed in the whole of 2021. this graph highlights the significance of the increase in the number of people making the crossing in recent years. here's the view of a former border force immigration officer. we just wejust got we just got too many people coming across that we can deal with. the

battery facility is just totally and absolutely overcrowded to its breaking point. this is by no means the first time that the uk's border and asylum systems have been criticised. a report came out injuly from the committee responsible for scrutinising the work of the home office, which found. at the end ofjune there were almost 100,000 asylum claims waiting for an initial decision from the home office. that's two—and—a—half times the number at the end of 2019. also injuly, an independent review of the border force found it had been performing at a "suboptimal level". the review recommended "better workforce planning and a proper understanding of the capabilities which border force need",

as well as... here's a former independent chief inspector of borders and immigration on how he thinks the systems can be improved. you have people crossing the channel and large numbers. the home office needs to anticipate that needs to have proper provision to hold people while they ascertain their asylum claims and identify who they are from a security point of view. as we mentioned earlier, almost 40,000 people have crossed the channel in small boats so far this year, which is already considerably more than the number who crossed in the whole of 2021. in the first six months of 2022, more than half the people arriving in small boats were from three countries. 18% came from albania and the same number from afghanistan, while15% were from iran. of particular concern to the home office in recent months has been the sharp rise in the number of people from albania who have been arriving. here's a former border control officer to explain. we've got the additional problem of crime networks, albanian crime networks in their huge concern amongst police and their activities in this country. they are bringing

people across some for perhaps being used as foot soldiers, lieutenants and some good will end up being literally human slaves it is a massive problem. the home secretary has criticised the legitimacy saying albania is not a war—torn country for that she also said that if they are victims of modern slavery they should be making claims for protection in albania. let's return to the criticism of ms braverman over her actions since being reappointed as home secretary by pm rishi sunak. ms braverman was initially appointed as home secretary in september, by the former prime minister, liz truss. but she resigned on 19 october after admitting two breaches of the ministerial code by sending confidential material via a private email account. less than a week later, after ms truss herself resigned and mr sunak became the new prime minister,

suella braverman was re—appointed as home secretary. ms braverman had apologised and admitted what she did was wrong but questions remained about why it took her as long as it did to admit her error. today, she sent a letter to the home affairs select committee further trying to justify her actions. here's our political correspondent, helen catt. she is excited she was using her personal e—mail because she had been returning by car in the early morning after a national crime agency rating didn't have a departmental boat weather. then she explained that she hadn't reported it immediately, that she had known that she had sent it to the wrong person because she had been in meetings all morning just the recipient who got it to delete it. she on to client that she had alerted, told her private secretary that she wanted to fully report the bridge and made the cabinet secretary aware of that. she said

she wasn't aware that the chief whip is in charge of discipline had already reported it to the prime minister. ms braverman has also admitted to sending government documents to her personal email address six times during herfirst stint as home secretary. this is on top of the security breach that led to her resignation. labour's shadow home secretary has said... and the home affairs spokeswoman for the liberal democrats has said... a short time ago the bbc�*s political editor had this to say about where suella provident now stands —— suella provident now stands —— suella braverman put bigger question being asked within the conservative party and beyond and it is this,

doesn't home secretary have a sufficient grip and incompetence on her ownjob to continue? sufficient grip and incompetence on her own job to continue? those questions are still being asked tonight. 0ur political editor chris mason. i want to discuss with let's keep the focus on those e—mails for the weekend speak to the north bonding crime and justice commentator danny shaw who was also over bbc commentator. let's focus on the e—mail. i know you've been expressing on twitter concerns about sending these types of e—mails to a private account for the is it ever safe to do so? iii private account for the is it ever safe to do so?— safe to do so? if you are a government minister, - safe to do so? if you are a - government minister, particularly if you are the home secretary with all responsibility for national security, policing, crime and law and order you have to take the security of your it, of your computers, laptops, smartphones extremely seriously. what suella

braverman did was on one occasion she said in an e—mail about home office business, draught statement 0ffice business, draught statement to an mp and another person using her personal e—mail account. 0n her personal e—mail account. on other occasions she sent e—mails from her work account to her personal account just so that she could see those e—mails on her smartphone while she was using for other government phone. these are serious breaches of the rules for the update government ministers and she admitted she has made the mistake. and she resigned for that i think the issue is that she was back in post afterjust think the issue is that she was back in post after just six days for that many people do that sort of punishment as insufficient. and she's notjust back in the government and a junior role, she is

backis government and a junior role, she is back is home secretary. i think that is what really angered people turning the spotlight onto the migration questions she pays earlier on in the house of commons. suella braverman — on in the house of commons. suella braverman has _ on in the house of commons. suella braverman has suggested _ on in the house of commons. suella braverman has suggested that - on in the house of commons. suella braverman has suggested that she l on in the house of commons. suella braverman has suggested that she did not block emergency accommodation for migrants who are awaiting processing help us understand what the law specifies in terms of what the law specifies in terms of what the rights of these people are. the home office _ the rights of these people are. tue: home office is the rights of these people are. tte: home office is entitled when someone claims asylum in the uk and arise in the uk. they are entitled to check their identity, go through their documents, process them in terms of national security issues and so on. and to document their asylum claim. but they are not permitted to detain them unless they have grounds to do so, unless they believe they are going to be fast tracked for removal really quickly, unless there are major security concerns for the present it is a last resort. the

issueis present it is a last resort. the issue is at the manston site where you thought, it was designed for 1600 people, now 4000 people there. it's meant to be a processing centre, not in asylum accommodation or removal centre it was initially designed to hold people for up to five days, the attention really was it would be processed within 24 hours without dictating some people for a month as we've heard and others for many days is probably in breach of their human rights, arguably. it also could be in breach of immigration law under the 1999 asylum and immigration act. they justifiably many of these asylum—seekers if they wanted to bring a claim against the government they could do so. and it's highly likely that they would win and win some compensation.— likely that they would win and win some compensation. good to get your clari . some compensation. good to get your clarity- giacomo _ some compensation. good to get your clarity. giacomo crime _ some compensation. good to get your clarity. giacomo crime justice - some compensation. good to get your clarity. giacomo crime justice and - clarity. giacomo crime justice and police commentator. thank you for your time.

to brazil now, where the country is waiting for former president jair bolsonaro to concede, after he lost sunday's election to left—wing rival luiz inacio lula da silva. these were the scenes in sao paolo after lula's victory was announced. the results were extremely close. lula won 50.9% of the votes. bolsonaro received 49.1%. here's the reaction of one commentator. i wasn't that surprised, in fact at some point yesterday i was expecting it to be at a 50.3. the reason is that we had seen the first round that the polls got the margin it wrong. we were seeing an anticipation of the second round even smaller margins in the polls. and i think the polarisation

in brazil is really at an unprecedented degree. so 50—50 is really the situation we're in. it's quite a political comeback for lula, who was president of brazil from 2002 to 2010. and left with high approval ratings. but in 2018 he was convicted on corruption charges and sent to jail. ajudge had found him guilty of receiving a bribe from a brazilian construction firm, in return for contracts with brazil's state oil company petrobras. lula's conviction was later annulled and he was released in late 2019. he adressed this in his voictory speech. translation: i consider myself to be a citizen that has a process of reconstruction in brazilian politics. because they tried to bury me alive. and i am here. cheers world leaders and sent congratulatory messages while

stressing the election was fair for the us presidentjoe biden said... norway also praised free and fair elections instead... theyv also promises aid which they suspended backin promises aid which they suspended back in 2019 in protest of mr bolsonaro deforestation policies about we will cross over policies about we will for more, i'mjoiend now by the bbc�*s sofia bettiza who is in sao paolo. we mention president biden, he lula da silva is also spoken to. yes. da silva is also spoken to. yes, they spoke _ da silva is also spoken to. yes, they spoke on _ da silva is also spoken to. yes, they spoke on the _ da silva is also spoken to. yes, they spoke on the phone - da silva is also spoken to. te: they spoke on the phone today and president biting congratulated lula da silva on his way in. he will be president onjanuary one with the p also commented on the strength of the brazilian election, as you would just mention it. he called this a free, fairand

just mention it. he called this a free, fair and credible election for the two leaders also brought back now to work together on common challenges including migration and specifically more importantly, climate change these election was really sick. but the future of the amazon forest, which is the worlds biggest rain forest, a big chunk of it is lula da silva in brazil. and promised to protect the amazon at all because of the rare as his contender bolsonaro was a very controversial figure on his watch deforestation and burning of the amazon accelerated at a staggering rate for the he turned parts of the amazon into farmland for the where as lula promised in his victory speech last night to work with the international community and try to bring down illegal deforestation of

the amazon to zero. just bring down illegal deforestation of the amazon to zero.— bring down illegal deforestation of the amazon to zero. just remind us, we know that _ the amazon to zero. just remind us, we know that bolsonaro _ the amazon to zero. just remind us, we know that bolsonaro was - the amazon to zero. just remind us, we know that bolsonaro was so - we know that bolsonaro was so controversial when it came to deforestation for the lula was president before hand that was his racket back on the amazon? goad racket back on the amazon? good oint racket back on the amazon? good point because _ racket back on the amazon? good point because that _ racket back on the amazon? good point because that is _ racket back on the amazon? good point because that is what - racket back on the amazon? (13mm point because that is what lula has been pointing to again and again, he says he is the best man for the job when it comes to protecting the amazon because on his watch he really made this a priority. he was known for being a very environmentally friendly president and on his watch deforestation of the amazon decreased by about 80%, which is a staggering number. he promises this will be his priority again. he will get to work as soon as he scored and injanuary. again. he will get to work as soon as he scored and in january. thank ou. it's just over a week to go until the us midterm elections, and all eyes are on pennsylvania — as control of the senate could come

down to which party wins there. it's presidentjoe biden�*s birthplace and there's a governors race and competitive congressional elections as well. live to scranton, in pennsylvania, with the bbc�*s laura trevelyan. all eyes on pennsylvania again. absolutely. welcome to scranton, the birthplace of presidentjoe biden was that you can see behind me that this is a city which has its roots in 19th century industry but also you can see the beautiful mountain range behind me. beyond the air, huge rural areas. this is a swing state as it combines the city with the countryside. and when president trump won here in 2016 it was a surprise victory, it was his path to the white house and through the state of pennsylvania. in 2020 when joe biden took pennsylvania back from donald trump he to forge his

route to the lighthouse through the state. it is so with the midterm election. there is a key us nsa, was called an open seat because the incumbent is retiring. so democrats and republicans are fighting over that scene. there is an important governor race for the governor of pennsylvania on both those cases trump on the back page candidates are running perhaps where behind but the more moderate census, something republicans have admitted to pay for that but not the case the senate running strongly. so much good depend on what happens here in pennsylvania just a week from now. just a week from now in terms of what the issues are at stake, abortion but i guess the economy will come into play. 50 abortion but i guess the economy will come into play. so interesting. i was out of — will come into play. so interesting. i was out of football _ will come into play. so interesting. i was out of football match - will come into play. so interesting. i was out of football match here i i was out of football match here at the weekend talking to parents watching the kids playing and ijust

as what issues are on your mind as you try to decide how to vote is not an high gas prices give up a lot of my grocery bill so that the minimum wage here is only $7 an hour, much lower than any of the neighbours state of much lower than new york city. so people who are making minimum wagejobs are really city. so people who are making minimum wage jobs are really feeling the impact of those price hikes. abortion is also a huge issue here now that there isn't a natural right to abortion pennsylvania is one of the states where you can currently have an abortion until 24 weeks but the candidate for governor on the republican side wants to outlaw abortion. perhaps even without an exception for rape or incest. many women that i spoke to were very concerned about keeping the right to an abortion. and swing voters that i spoke tojustjuggling an abortion. and swing voters that i spoke to justjuggling all of these things also the fate of democracy and where america goes with it so much on the ballot with a week ago. just a few issues there for that thank you so much. laura will have

special coverage when it comes to the midterms next week for the from me and the team, don't go away i will be back very shortly. bye—bye for now. good evening. it's been another mild day in fact, it's been a mild month. temperatures once again as you can see for the rest of the year have been above the long—term average in central england by quite summary in october. and with the southerly and it is popping up lots of moisture a thoroughly wet did chris know that i like about 30 or 40 mm and that rates are coming down, issues with flooding and heavy thundershowers in the south... the best heading out and about. we have got flashes of lightning and cracks of thunder and in escalating wind adding in the mix with that let the tricky travel conditions without the wind is

strongest in seven counties of england as we go to the night, that's for the warning exist without because of possibly 70 mph causing nasty conditions with all the way and be cloudy and rainy days it will be a mild guide for the temperatures on the chart are more akin to the date averages at this time a year put up a bit of a wet and rainy days it will be a mild guide for the temperatures on the chart are more akin to the daytime averages at this time a year put up a bit of a button when they want to stop averages at this time a year put up a bit of a button when they want to stop or some of us to the mourning process. once that is blown out of the way it will be some sunshine birds live southwest which will degree down or southwest which will degree down or so for that that's because we changed our wind direction, 12 to 15 is still above average for that that's because we changed our wind direction, 12 to 15 is still above average. i wishjust direction, 12 to 15 is still above average. i wish just keep coming tomorrow evening and to the start of tuesday night but then we see a rest bite for the next we could have a

touch of brass boss across the lens of solid for that of course there is going to be a bit of rest bite between these two other systems but not for long. this looks a quite a nasty area of low pressure sore me and i'll the atlantic with widespread cost of 40 or 50 mph for the severe gales around the coast and the hills as well. and more ready for that yes, at least another 20 or 30 miller is a no—brainer as it moves slowly eastward, perhaps holding up in the southeast until after dark. 15 or 16 again makes for a mild day for the that rain may drag its heels to clear across southern counties during 30, a drier day to end the week friday for the warnings are on the website.

hello, i'm kasia madera. this is outside source. uk home secretary suella braverman defends her record over both the security of her own emails and conditions for asylum seekers. some 4,000 migrants are being housed at a centre in kent — it was built to hold just 1,600 people. the home secretary is accused of ignoring advice which could have eased pressure. when we face so many rifles so quickly, it is practically impossible to procure over 1000 beds at such short notice, consequently we have recently expanded the site

pelosi being attacked in her own home with her husband. she has undergone surgery and was attacked with a hammer. he remains in intensive care in hospital surrounded by his family and friends. we hear he is expected to make a full recovery. the federal charges are important because these kinds of crimes are normally dealt with at state level but because the attacker entered the home he said where is nancy? this is being seen as a politically motivated crime and when those crimes can be dealt with on a federal level under those kinds of circumstances after a federal official. is interesting development because these federal charges in addition to the charges he already faces on a state level.— faces on a state level. thank you for bringing _ faces on a state level. thank you for bringing us — faces on a state level. thank you for bringing us up _ faces on a state level. thank you for bringing us up to _ faces on a state level. thank you for bringing us up to date. -

ukraine's energy infrastructure has again come under russian attack. a wave of missile strikes have struck 10 regions, including kyiv. this was the aftermath of two blasts in the capital. it left 80% of residents with no running water, and 350,000 apartments with no electricity. in kharkiv, and other cities, residents were forced underground when the strikes hit. 13 people were injured in ten different regions across ukraine. kyiv says russia fired more than 50 cruise missiles, and that it shot 44 down. yuriy sak is an advisor to the defence minister. 18 different energy infrastructure objects have been struck by the russian missiles in ten different regions of ukraine, and this ranges from the east

of ukraine, south, kharkiv in the north, all the way to the west of ukraine. so it was quite a massive, another massive missile strike by a terrorist state. they're targeting civilians because... and our energy infrastructure because, of course, they are unable to achieve any military progress on the battlefield. and they're trying to break the ukrainian will to defend ourselves by conducting these missile strikes and drone strikes. seven of the ten regions hit have been suffering power cuts, affecting hundreds of towns. this map has been released by ukraine's water management body in kyiv. you can see the huge number of water pump points affected by the strikes. workers are trying repair the damage, and officials are appealing for those with power to limit consumption. still, the impact is being felt. in kyiv there are huge queues to fill up water bottles. this is the mayor, vitaly klitschko. i think the russian aggressors want to freeze people

in this winter. they... they propose himself as war against military. but right now this war have direct impact on civilian population. they want to make the people without heating, without water, without electricity in the winter. they want to freezing the whole population in our hometown. there's been damage outside of ukraine too. russian strikes, shot down by ukraine, have fallen on a village in neighbouring moldova. according to the interior ministry, several houses were shattered. it's called it a flagrant violation of the international humanitarian law and says attacks on ukraine's energy infrastructure is causing enormous economic and social damage to the entire european continent. today's wave of russian attacks come two days

after russia's navy itself came under attack in sevastapol. according to open source investigators, several drones struck a warship in annexed crimea at 4:20am. russia has blamed ukraine, while ukraine has called the russian accusations a false pretext. the fallout was immediate. that same day russia pulled out of a un backed deal allowing ukraine to resume exporting grain from the black sea. this is a kremlin spokesman on why. translation: when russia talks about it being - impossible to guarantee the safe passage of shipping in these areas, this kind of a deal is, of course, barely feasible, and it takes on a different character a much riskier, more dangerous one and one without guarantees. despite that warning, 12 more grain ships left ukraine today under the un deal. 10 are carrying wheat, destined for the horn of africa. but first they'll head along the maritime humanitarian corridor to turkey where they'll

undergo meticulous inspection. it's a process that can take days and has led to this huge maritime traffic jam in istanbul. well, the grain deal was seen as a major diplomatic victory. more than nine million metric tonnes of grain has been unlocked since it was reached. today both the un and turkey, which brokered the deal, and ukraine itself have given their assurance that they'll continue to implement it. the un secretary general for humanitarian affairs gave this update in new york earlier. we've had more than 9 million metric tonnes of grain go out into the global market, so this agreement is of tremendous importance. in the developing world and in the developed world as well, because it impacts the price of grain at a wholesale level for everyone. olga malchievska from bbc news ukraine. where are we with the resoration

of power and water? the latest we know from kyiv is that at least 40% are still without electricity and water and kyiv city mayor says the city has managed to restore a lot but still... compared to what it was this morning, it's quite a lot. in the morning as far as we heard from them there were 80% of people in kyiv without electricity and water and now we are hearing that there are 40% of people without electricity. but it's difficult to say what the situation is around all ukrainian regions because it's quite difficult to get statistics, it is difficult to get access. ukrainian authorities asked journalists not to report the details because they are quite scared that russia might use that information to recalibrate their weapons and to target the

electricity facilities which ukrainian authorities managed to restore. tt’s ukrainian authorities managed to restore. �* , . , ukrainian authorities managed to restore. �*, . , , . restore. it's a very difficult situation — restore. it's a very difficult situation because - restore. it's a very difficult situation because of- restore. it's a very difficult | situation because of course restore. it's a very difficult - situation because of course when your mum was there under the first attacks, conditions on the ground are really hard.— are really hard. yes, they are extremely — are really hard. yes, they are extremely hard _ are really hard. yes, they are extremely hard and _ are really hard. yes, they are extremely hard and my - are really hard. yes, they are extremely hard and my mum | are really hard. yes, they are - extremely hard and my mum hasjust extremely hard and my mum has just returned from ukraine. as you know, probably many ukrainian parents of war really want to go back and my mum was one of them. she went back and then she found herself in a situation where she didn't have electricity, water. the electricity was there around three hours and kyiv was bonds and she had to spend a lot of time in the cellar or underground as many people there and other ukrainian towns. that is how the situation is looking at the moment. many people queueing today to get some kind of water, using the

city supplies and that is quite dramatic and the mayor of kyiv called the situation genocide which russia is committing on ukraine. he has called it genocide and we understand that your mum wanted to go but she is back now. let's focus on the green itself, the movement of it, russia has given a stark warning. where is the green narrow? how much a stock?— warning. where is the green narrow? how much a stock? yesterday we heard from the ukrainian _ how much a stock? yesterday we heard from the ukrainian side _ how much a stock? yesterday we heard from the ukrainian side there _ how much a stock? yesterday we heard from the ukrainian side there are - from the ukrainian side there are 280 ships blocked in the black sea unable to leave and today we are hearing the situation is moving. president zelensky said ukraine would participate no matter what russia is doing and he asked international partners. russia accused ukraine of using the safe portal for fighting and we also heard from the ukrainian side that today russia targeted to civilian

ships in the black sea and at least two civilians were reportedly killed. the situation remains quite difficult but as far as we know due to this deal ukraine managed to export at least 9.5 million tonnes of grain and in the year managed to export 12.9 million tonnes of grain but compared to previous year, that's just 6.5% compared to the figures last year. tqm. that'sjust 6.5% compared to the figures last year.— figures last year. 0k, thank you very much _ figures last year. 0k, thank you very much for— figures last year. 0k, thank you very much for buying _ figures last year. 0k, thank you very much for buying a - figures last year. 0k, thank you very much for buying a site - figures last year. 0k, thank you . very much for buying a site update. that's the latest on the situation with the so that's the latest on the grain deal. let's return to the situatiyon on the ground in ukraine. our international editor jeremy bowen has spent the last week travelling across the country, from the frontline battlefields of the donbas in the east, to the village of myroliubivka in the kherson region,

where some of russia's best troops are concentrated to try to stop a ukrainian offensive. just to warn you, jeremy's report contains some deeply distressing details. for ukrainians, this is a fight for national survival. the hardest test any nation can face. it upends every life. it has ended the lives of thousands. this is bakhmut, under heavy shelling. at the moment, the centre of the artillery war in donbas. more than 70,000 people used to live here. when i was last in bakhmut in the summer, there was shelling, but it was still more or less functional — some buses running, a few shops open — but now look at it. desolation. this is what months of attritional warfare does to a town.

bakhmut�*s war hospital is a short ride from the mud and blood of the front line. the invasion, the casualties, the terrible cost of president putin's attempt to subdue a people he says are the same as russians, all of it has sharpened ukrainians' sense of nationhood. this soldier had a lucky escape from a sniper. the bullet hit his hand. "this is going to hurt", the doctor warns. the pain so far has deepened the ukrainian will to fight. but in wars, resilience has its limits. sustaining it needs victories, not just sacrifice. at the deadliest times, the medics work for two days straight, with almost no rest.

translation: terrible, - to see the pain of our soldiers. to see what kind of traumas they get in this war. the most terrible thing is to see the suffering of our country. this is the most terrible. the rest is just ourjob. here i see how our boys fight. the wounds they receive ruin their lives. it depresses me more than anything else. just behind the front line, near bakhmut, this is a ukrainian artillery unit's daily routine. first, reloading their missile launcher, a 50—year—old soviet grad b21 that is a tried and trusted killing machine. ukraine's autumn mud has slowed down generations of armies. mobile warfare will be easier when it freezes over. the russians saw them coming.

incoming. memories of peace receding, pushed away by the debilitating routines of war. translation: i was woken up at 4.20am february 24th. - since then, i am fighting. i don't feel this counter— offensive is somehow special. it's the same as in the beginning. of course, everyone is scared, but we overcome our fear and go fight. there was shelling. nothing dramatic, we escaped the shelling. an old lady helped us, we escaped. i don't feel the difference. at the other end of the front line, a long day's drive south—west from donbas is the district of kherson. it includes the village

of myroliubivka, recaptured by ukraine after days of hard fighting in september. we went there because residents said the russians had terrorised them in six months of occupation, and because of what happened when a soldier came to this house at 11.30 on the night of 13thjuly. he dropped this bullet during the next six terrible hours, say these women. now with her daughter, in a safe place, that night, lyudmila, a 75—year—old great grandmother, was alone, until, she says, the man forced his way in and raped her. translation: when i opened the door, he immediately punched me _ in the face, knocked out two of my teeth and broke my nose. i was covered with blood. he started beating me in the chest with his rifle butt. he was hitting me body and my head. i didn't understand, what had i done wrong?

he pulled me hair, threw me on to the sofa and began to strangle me, so much i couldn't swallow water for two weeks. then he began to undress me, and after he raped me. he cut my stomach. until now i have scars on my stomach, the deep ones still haven't healed. putin and the russians will never be forgiven until the end of the world for what they did to the ukrainians. there will be no forgiveness. as the seasons change, the war is at a critical point. ukrainians need a victory this winter in kherson. russia cannot afford another defeat. that is a formula for a battle that shapes the course of the war. jeremy bowen, bbc news in ukraine.

we do have a special section on the war in ukraine on our website. stay with us on outside source. still to come: reports it could cost $20 per month to be verified on twitter. a coroner has criticised exeter university for failing to provide adequate support to a student who took his own life last year — saying there was a catalogue of missed opportunities. 21—year—old harry armstrong evans died at his family home after struggling with his mental health. both he and his family had contacted the university seeking support. jenny kumar reports. harry's family say he was kind, clever and shy. he was on course to get a good grade for his physics degree.

but in january last year, he got poor exam results. he took his own life six months later, in his family home in cornwall. our world fell apart. they'll never be the same again. we still haven't recovered. i don't think we will recover. it's the sort of thing that you you can't believe it's actually happened. the inquest heard that harry had emailed the university a month before his death. he told them about his isolation during lockdown, his declining mental health, and worries about his exams. his mother had also contacted them with concerns about his welfare. the coroner said there was a catalogue of missed opportunities and that the university failed to respond effectively to the family's calls for help. he said he was concerned about the risk of future deaths and that he would be writing to the university, asking them to review staff training, suicide prevention and welfare services.

the student's family are calling for harry's law, a number of legal changes, including the requirements for universities to publish their annual suicide rates. in a statement, the university said, we are deeply saddened by harry's death and the family's loss. we will consider the coroner's conclusions and make sure we learn lessons. the families say they'll continue campaigning for changes to help stop more students taking their own life. jenny kumar, bbc news. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. now to twitter. and days after taking over, the self—proclaimed "chief twit" elon musk, is signalling big changes. he says the process of gaining a blue tick,

proving that your account is authentic, will be revised, with reports that the social media giant could start charging $20 a month to be verified. this was mr musk walking into twitter headquarters last week with a kitchen sink. he completed his $44 billion takeover on friday, renaming himself chief twit on the platform. mr musk since tweeted that the verification process is being revamped, without giving any details. according to tech website the verge, twitter now wants to charge people $19.99 per month to keep their blue tick verification status. more now on free speech. elon musk is a self—proclaimed free speech absolutist so how will that square with rules, especially in europe, on illegal online content? this is what the eu's thierry breton tweeted last week: in europe, the bird will fly by our eu rules,

but eu sources say mr musk has now assured the european commission that twitter will comply with tough rules which allow hefty fines on companies if they fail to control illegal content. suzanne nossel, chief executive of pen america. i think it's very unclear. he has sent signals in multiple directions. he initially said he favoured sweeping away the guardrails and seem to want something of an open season when it came to disinformation and online harassment and other concerns, harmful content on the platform. he then sent a message to advertisers saying it's not going to be a free for all health scape. he talked about setting up a social media council that will help adjudicate content decisions and that again in the direction of a more measured approach and i and of course he has himself shared disinformation on twitter. just over the last 24 hours. so it's really hard to

discern a direction of travel as you put it. i think all eyes are on elon musk especially here in the united states where we have a mid turn election coming up in about one week and the disinformation is flowing freely. twitters actions could be consequential.— freely. twitters actions could be consequential. when it comes to international _ consequential. when it comes to international rules _ consequential. when it comes to international rules and _ consequential. when it comes to i international rules and regulations, the eu has said that in europe the bird will fly, ie twitter will have to abide by eu rules. how does that work? , , ,., work? the eu is implementing some strinuent work? the eu is implementing some stringent rules _ work? the eu is implementing some stringent rules for _ work? the eu is implementing some stringent rules for platforms - work? the eu is implementing some stringent rules for platforms that - stringent rules for platforms that include heavy fines and so it would be very costly to flout those structures. the rules are essentially experimental in many senses, they are an effort to force platforms to be more disciplined, pit more systems into place and they don't dictate exactly what content stays or goes other than national level rules that do that and

themselves impose hefty fines, for example hate speech in germany and so if you... if he wants to continue operating in the eu and have a global platform he will have to adhere to that.— global platform he will have to adhere to that. ., ., , ., . adhere to that. how does he balance caettin free adhere to that. how does he balance getting free speech _ adhere to that. how does he balance getting free speech platform - adhere to that. how does he balance getting free speech platform by - getting free speech platform by curtailing, curbing disinformationl think that is _ curtailing, curbing disinformationl think that is the _ curtailing, curbing disinformationl think that is the million _ curtailing, curbing disinformationl think that is the million dollar - think that is the million dollar question. twitter is an enabler of free speech, it's a powerful platform where connection can be used to expose human rights abuses, hold politicians accountable, there's all kinds of important and valuable speech that happens there, but the challenge of trying to do a surgical cut that will do away with that which is harmful and preserve that which is harmful and preserve that which is valuable is really next to impossible. i think... do next to impossible. ithink... do let me next to impossible. i think... do let me know what you think. i would love to hear from you. get in touch

via twitter. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @kasiamadera. would you pay for a blue tech's much more on our website. for me and the team, thank you for it's been another mild day and another mild month. the images above average by quite some way in october and with the southerly wind pumping up and with the southerly wind pumping up moisture, it's been a wet day in northern ireland. that rain still coming down so some issue with flooding potentially. heavy, thundery showers in the south so not the best if you're heading out and about. flashes of lightning and cracks of thunder. escalating wind adding in the next with that wet weather means tricky travel conditions. the winds strongest in southern counties of england as we

go through the night. that's where the warning exists. gusts of 60 up to 70 mph. with all the wind, cloud and rain meaning it will be a mild night with temperatures on the chart more akin to daytime averages for this time of year. a windy one for most of us through the morning rush. once that is blown out of the way, sunshine break time. wetterfor the north—east of scotland and then a rush of showers coming in for the southern half of the uk turning heavy with a rumble or two of thunder, so we make slow—moving. temperatures coming down because we changed the wind direction. temperatures still above average. though showers just keep coming tomorrow evening and for the start of tuesday night, but then we see a respite before the next rain comes in and it does mean choosing a could be chillier with a touch of grass frost across the glens of scotland. a little respite between weather

systems but not for long. quite a nasty area of low pressure storming in across the atlantic. land gales, severe gales around the coast and as well. more rain. yes, at least another 20 or 30 millimetres of rain. holding off in the south east until after dark, 15 or 16 celsius again makes for a mild state. that rain may drag its heels to drag clear on friday. the warnings are on the website.

many migrants who arrive on uk soil in small boats are processed here. this is in the south—east of england. two people suffered minor injuries in the attack, but the suspect later killed himself at a nearby petrol station. the home secretary has confirmed the attack is not being treated as a terrorist incident, but a review of security at the reception centre has been ordered by the government. the attack meant that hundreds of people were taken to another already overcrowded migrant processing centre in nearby manston. the bbc has obtained these images showing the cramped conditions already at the cramped conditions already at the centre. one person who has been to the camp in recent days is the local mp, sir roger gale. for to the camp in recent days is the local mp, sir roger gale.- local mp, sir roger gale. for a facility designed _ local mp, sir roger gale. for a facility designed to _ local mp, sir roger gale. for a facility designed to take - facility designed to take comfortably 1500 people and to move them on within 24 hours, it has turned into a refugee camp housing 4000 people, and it is simply not fit for that purpose.—

40,000 people have crossed the channel in dinghies so far this year. compare that to last year, the figure for the whole year was just over 28,500. this graph shows the hugejump since 2018. over 28,500. this graph shows the huge jump since 2018. here is a former border force immigration officer. we former border force immigration officer. ~ ., ., former border force immigration officer. ., ., ., , , officer. we have got too many people cominu officer. we have got too many people coming across — officer. we have got too many people coming across that _ officer. we have got too many people coming across that we _ officer. we have got too many people coming across that we can _ officer. we have got too many people coming across that we can deal- officer. we have got too many people coming across that we can deal with. | coming across that we can deal with. the manston facility is just totally and absolutely overcrowded to breaking point. th and absolutely overcrowded to breaking point.— breaking point. in the first six months of _ breaking point. in the first six months of 2022 _ breaking point. in the first six months of 2022 more - breaking point. in the first six months of 2022 more than i breaking point. in the first six. months of 2022 more than half breaking point. in the first six - months of 2022 more than half the people arriving in small boats were from three countries. 18% came from albania, the same numberfrom afghanistan, while15% were from iran. but the home office as it is concerned about the rise in the number of people coming from albania. here is a former border control officer on why. we albania. here is a former border control officer on why.— albania. here is a former border control officer on why. we have got the additional _ control officer on why. we have got the additional problem _ control officer on why. we have got the additional problem of _ control officer on why. we have got the additional problem of albanian | the additional problem of albanian

she did was wrong, but questions remain about why it took her as long as it did to admit her error. today she sent a letter to the home affairs select committee, further trying to justify her actions. here is our political correspondent helen catt. ,, , ., , , is our political correspondent helen catt. ,, ,, , catt. she explains she was using her ersonal catt. she explains she was using her personal e-mail _ catt. she explains she was using her personal e-mail because _ catt. she explains she was using her personal e-mail because she - catt. she explains she was using her personal e-mail because she had . catt. she explains she was using her. personal e-mail because she had been personal e—mail because she had been returning by car in the early morning after a national crime agency meeting and did not have a departmental phone with her. she explains 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 morning and she asked the recipient who got it by mistake to delete it. she goes on to claim that she had told her private secretary that she wanted to fully report the breach and make the cabinet secretary aware of that. she has said she was not aware that the chief whip, in charge of discipline, had already reported it to the prime minister.— it to the prime minister. next,

ukraine, while ukraine has called the russian accusations are false pretext. in the fallout was immediate. that same day russia pulled out of a un backed deal allowing ukraine to resume exporting grain from the black sea. here is a kremlin spokesperson on why. translation: when russia talks about it being impossible to guarantee the safe passage of shipping in these areas, this deal is barely feasible. it takes on a different character, a much riskier, more dangerous one, and one without guarantees. despite that warning. — and one without guarantees. despite that warning. 12 _ and one without guarantees. despite that warning, 12 more _ and one without guarantees. despite that warning, 12 more grain - and one without guarantees. despite that warning, 12 more grain ships - that warning, 12 more grain ships left ukraine today under the un deal and ten are carrying wheat destined for the horn of africa. but first they will head along the maritime humanitarian corridor to turkey where they will undergo meticulous inspection. it is a process that can take days and has led to this huge maritime traffic jam take days and has led to this huge maritime trafficjam in istanbul. the grain deal was seen as a major

diplomatic victory. more than 9 million metric tonnes of grain has been unlocked since it was reached. today both the un and turkey, which brokered the deal, and ukraine itself, have given their assurance that they will continue to implement it. in the past few minutes russia's president has said that russia is not ending his participation in that grain deal, just suspending it. for more, here is our bbc correspondent. yesterday there were 218 ships blocked in the black sea and they were not able to leave. today we are hearing that the situation is slightly moving and the ukrainian president said ukraine would participate in the deal, no matter what russia is doing. he asked international partners to calm down russian rhetoric. russia accused ukraine of using the safe corridor forfighting. we also heard ukraine of using the safe corridor for fighting. we also heard from the ukrainian side. today russia

charged with assault and attempted kidnapping in violation of federal law. he already faces a whole list of charges from the state of california, including so many of them serious bodily injury, attempted murder, first—degree burglary, assault with a deadly weapon. he already faces those charges and now he faces federal charges and now he faces federal charges as well. just to remind you of the background, paul pelosi, 82, was attacked in his own home in the early hours of saturday morning. he has undergone surgery to his skull. he was struck with a hammer after the police arrived at his home and he has undergone successful surgery. he remains in intensive care in hospital, surrounded by friends and family. we do here he is expected to make a full recovery. these federal charges are important because these kind of crimes are normally dealt with at state level. when the attacker entered the home he said, where is nancy? this is being seen as a politically motivated crime.

those kind of crimes can be dealt with on a federal level under the circumstances when they are after a federal official. it is an interesting development because these are federal charges in addition now to the charges he already faces on a state level. {jut already faces on a state level. our correspondence _ already faces on a state level. our correspondence sophie long in los angeles. stay with us here, still to come. we returned to the indian state of gujarat where 141 people have died in a bridge collapse, many are women and children.

this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is... the uk home secretary suella

braverman defence record over both the security of her own e—mails and conditions for asylum seekers. police in india have detained nine people following a collapsed bridge which killed 141 people. a bbc reporter at the scene said most of the bodies being recovered were of women and children. just a warning, the footage we are about to show you is distressing. the bridge had only just reopened after repair work and there are reports it had not yet received a safety certificate. people had been seen on the bridge rocking it and try to make its way just before it collapsed into the river. we have this report. more than a dozen rafts and some swimmers are scouring the river. it is unlikely at this point that they would find any survivors. they have been doing this for hours. about an

hour ago a body was pulled out, but we know people are still missing and thatis we know people are still missing and that is what they are looking for. here to the right that is where the suspension footbridge was. you can see the nets and these screens have been brought in and they have been working through the night. i am just going to show you through the crowd, if i can, this. this was the bridge, this is the metal base of the bridge and the nets that formed the size of the suspension footbridge. it collapsed on sunday evening and this morning the terrifying footage of the moment when it actually collapse, cctv footage, has emerged. scores of people were plunged into the river and the darkness compounded the difficulties of trying to find survivors. in a hospital close by where they have

extremely close with lula winning 59% of the votes, whilst bolsonaro received 49.1. here is the reaction of a commentator. t received 49.1. here is the reaction of a commentator.— of a commentator. i was not that surprised- _ of a commentator. i was not that surprised. yesterday _ of a commentator. i was not that surprised. yesterday i _ of a commentator. i was not that surprised. yesterday i expected l of a commentator. i was not that| surprised. yesterday i expected it to be 50.3, and the reason was in the first round of the polls got the margin wrong. we were seeing in anticipation of the second round even smaller margins in the polls. the polarisation of brazil is really at an unprecedented degree. the 50-50 is at an unprecedented degree. the 50—50 is the situation we are in. tt 50—50 is the situation we are in. it is quite a political comeback for lula, who was president from 22 —— 2002 to 2010, but then in 2018 he was convicted on corruption charges and sent to jail. ajudge was convicted on corruption charges and sent to jail. a judge found was convicted on corruption charges and sent to jail. ajudge found him guilty of receiving a bribe from a brazilian construction firm in return for contracts with brazil's

will be his priority again and he will get to work as soon as he is sworn in injanuary. will get to work as soon as he is sworn in in january.— will get to work as soon as he is sworn in in january. from me and the outside source _ sworn in in january. from me and the outside source team, _ sworn in in january. from me and the outside source team, as _ sworn in in january. from me and the outside source team, as always, - outside source team, as always, thank you for watching. goodbye. good evening. it's been another mild day, it's been a mild month. temperatures once again, as you can see for the rest of the year have been above the long—term average in central england, by quite some way in october. and with the southerly wind as well, it's pumping up lots of moisture. it's been a thoroughly wet day in northern ireland, 30 or 40 here. and that rain still coming down, so some issues with flooding potentially and heavy thundershowers in the south. so not the best of evenings if heading out and about. we have got flashes of lightning and cracks of thunder and an escalating wind adding in the mix. with that wet weather means tricky travel conditions. the wind strongest in southern

counties of england as we go through the night, that's where the warning exists. gusts of 60, possibly 70 mph causing nasty conditions. but with all the wind and the cloud and rain it means it will be a mild night. temperatures you can see on the chart here are more akin to the day time averages at this time a year. so a bit of a wet and windy one to start for some of us throught the morning rush. once that is blown out of the way there will be some sunshine for a time. although it looks wetter for the northeast of scotland tomorrow. and then a real rash over showers come back in, particularly across the southern half of the uk. again, they could turn heavy, with a rumble of two of thunder. slow moving despite that breeze coming in from the southwest. which will mean the temperatures are a degree or so down tomorrow and that's just because we've changed our wind direction. 12—15 is still above avarage. and those showers just keep coming tomorrow evening into the start of tuesday night. but then we do see a resbite before the next rain comes in. it does mean that actually tuesday night could be a bit chillier. we could have a touch of grass frost

across the glens of scotland. of course there is going to be a little respite between these two weather systems, but not for long. this looks a quite a nasty area of low pressure storming in off the atlantic. widespread gusts of 40 or 50 mph even inland so land gales, severe gales around the coast and the hills as well. and more rain. yes, at least another 20 or 30 of rain as it moves slowly eastward, perhaps holding off in the southeast until after dark. 15 or 16 again makes for a very mild day. now, the that rain may drag its heels to clear across southern counties during thursday, a drier day to end the week friday. the warnings are on the website.

this is bbc news, the headlines: facing questions from mps over conditions as a holding centre for migrants, the home secretary denies she blocked moves to relieve overcrowding by the centre in booking accommodation. the bbc has a tech obtain pictures from inside the migrant holding centre at manston in kent, 4000 people packed into a facility designed to hold just 1600. suella braverman was also forced to

over gross overcrowding at the margaret centre in kent. the local conservative mp has blamed the home office for allowing the crisis to develop. this afternoon the home secretary denied claims that she failed to authorise extra hotel accommodation for migrants. the number of migrants arriving in the uk across the channel is increasing. in 2018 there were about 2000 people arriving in small boats. this year most 40,000. the migrant processing centre on a disused airfield site near ramsgate is designed to process up near ramsgate is designed to process up to 1000 migrants who are only meant to spend a few hours there. there are currently thought to be about 4000 migrants there with some, including mothers with children being there as long as five weeks. our home editor has spent the day there. ., ., ., ., _ there. you have an asylum system that is completely _

there. you have an asylum system that is completely gridlocked, - that is completely gridlocked, 127,000 people waiting an initial decision which means very little accommodation for all of the new asylum seekers as they arrive. so the home office has been forced to requisition hotels. there are currently spending £7 million a day putting hotels in migrants. they are struggling to find any new hotels now. all of which adds up to a deepening crisis for the home secretary. freedom, freedom, they chat, the voices of children recorded by activists this weekend among thousands house at what is supposed to be a short term migrant processing centre at manston in kent. they should be here for a few hours, a day or two at most but some families have been detained for more than a month. conditions are described by inspectors as wretched. there is currently an outbreak of scabies and there have been cases of diphtheria and mrsa. most are living in tents and sleep on camping mats on the floor, so what has gone wrong, and should the crisis at

manston have been prevented? home office officials warned last year that 60,000 migrants could cross the channel in small boats this year and the busiest months were likely to be october and november. at around the same time the inspector of prisons told the government they needed to have plans for a surge in migrant numbers at places just like manston. ministers were told they needed to put in place contingency plans, and i think that is negligent, and the government needs to rapidly change course and ensure that it treats people with decency, humanity and compassion. yesterday almost 1000 migrants arrived, today, none, the tide not conducive despite calm weather but more will be assured beneath the white cliffs and many people locally are exasperated. eight days ago two migrant birds pulled up onto a beach near dover harbour, the occupants disappearing into nearby woodland.

a short time later a desperate albanian boy, just 16 years old, ended up in seed oil's living room until police eventually arrived. she has been left terrified. they are saying that we have to keep all windows and doors shut so next summer we got to live in a prison, we've got to keep all of our windows and doors locked which, i don't think we should have to do. we should be able to open our windows and let some fresh air blow in. and we have been told, keep them shut. testerday immigration minister robertjenrick visited manston and has been desperately trying to find accommodation for those stuck there. but when a coach left this afternoon it was largely empty. the humber view hotel in east yorkshire was on the home office list to take asylum seekers, but local people have secured an interim high court injunction, claiming that the village is unsuitable. i foresaw the concerns at manston in september

and deployed additional resource and personnel to deliver a rapid increase in emergency accommodation. to be clear, like the majority of the british people i am very concerned about hotels. but i have never blocked their usage. the government hopes to deter asylum seekers by prosecuting arrivals and threatening to send some to rwanda, but the courts may yet have a say on such measures and ministers must know that there can be no quick fix to the uk's deepening asylum crisis. we can speak to dame diana johnson, the labour mp who is the chair of the labour mp who is the chair of the home affairs select committee, shejoins us from the home affairs select committee, she joins us from westminster. thank you forjoining us. can i talk first of all about manston and the whole issue of potential alternative accommodation for people seeking asylum here. you asked of the home secretary in the commons today for clarification about how many hotels

she personally approved in herfirst ascent as home secretary, what did you make of her reply? t ascent as home secretary, what did you make of her reply?— you make of her reply? i thought a lanauuae you make of her reply? i thought a language was _ you make of her reply? i thought a language was very _ you make of her reply? i thought a language was very careful, - you make of her reply? i thought a language was very careful, she - language was very careful, she talked about a number of hotels becoming available and people being able to be moved into them. my issue was that in that stint, that first stint as home secretary, my understanding is that she had refused to approve additional hotels being contacted and made available for people, for asylum seekers, so i was trying to get clarification exactly what she had done when she was home secretary in that first tenure and i'm still not quite clear whether she actually approved any hotels or not. what i want more information you need from her book, you spoke about how using kepa language? what i understood from the evidence given to the home affairs select committee last week was, it normally takes about two months of the hotels to be contacted and then

to be made available for asylum seekers. so the hotels that were being made available in the september time would have been under the time when priti patel was home secretary. now we have this crisis that we don't have enough hotel accommodation and that would probably have been around the time that suella braverman became home secretary and i was just trying to work out what steps she took, personally, to make sure there was adequate accommodation available, because we'll knew that the were going up and increase, you said in your package that october and november last year saw the highest number of people coming across on the small boats, so we are concerned we will see, as we have already in october, that increase and through into november. so this is really worrying, that those contingency plans that should have been in place don't seem to have happened at the right time. tess don't seem to have happened at the riaht time. �* , don't seem to have happened at the riuhttime. a right time. as well as those contingency _ right time. as well as those contingency plans, - right time. as well as those contingency plans, there i right time. as well as those contingency plans, there is| right time. as well as those i contingency plans, there is the issue of numbers and of the backlog in the system and of the time that

of... the fact she sent government documents to have personal e—mail, you were in receipt of a long letter from her today detailing the timeline of what happened in one particular case and also saying she had done this six other times. what did you make of what you said? first of all i did you make of what you said? first of all i was — did you make of what you said? f “st of all i was surprised to receive a letter this morning, that is a 7—page letter. the home secretary was trying to set out what had happened and draw a line under it. unfortunately i think what has happened today is that they have been more questions arising out of her letter, including the apparent discrepancy between her reporting in that she had made this error, that she had breached the rules, there seems to be an issue there about exactly when she did that, was it straightaway or was there a delay and also the six other times she has now said she breached the rules. there are also questions about, if she was doing this as home

secretary, what was she doing when she was attorney general, with that also a time when she was breaching the rules? so i think, unfortunately, it does not draw a line under the whole story, it has actually added to it. do line under the whole story, it has actually added to it.— actually added to it. do you think she needs... _ actually added to it. do you think she needs... what _ actually added to it. do you think she needs... what you _ actually added to it. do you think she needs... what you she i actually added to it. do you think| she needs... what you she needs actually added to it. do you think. she needs... what you she needs to do with them and i think it would be have been helpful if she was able to answer some of the questions around the point i was making, today in the house of commons, she just kept referring back to the letter. i'm not sure that is going to wash and lemon like story has now been running for over a week and will continue to run until that answer's are given. continue to run until that answer's are liven. . , continue to run until that answer's are liven. ,, , . ., ., are given. she is in charge of national security, _ are given. she is in charge of national security, cyber i are given. she is in charge of- national security, cyber security, we want to be absolutely sure that what she has told us is correct and that she is doing everything she can to keep this country safe and not use e—mails in the way she has an has admitted to. use e-mails in the way she has an has admitted to.— has admitted to. thank you very much.

it gets there, and, you know, once it's in, you'll have a bit of mortality on maybe thursday afternoon, by sunday or monday the entire flock will be dead. bird flu has meant more than five million birds dying or being culled in the last year. a staggering 2.3 million of them were in october alone. when of the reasons why this outbreak is proving so hard to contain, is because it is being spread from farm to farm, by wild birds. all it takes is for one of them to land in a field of free—range turkeys, and infect them, and then the whole flock has to be destroyed. with so many wild birds carrying the disease, many farmers are now calling for a change in strategy, that accepts that bird flu is here to stay. is it time for us to move away from culling birds to vaccinating birds? there is a huge amount of work, and now global discussion going on, on what effective vaccination and surveillance will look like.

certainly, at this time last year that conversation wasn't happening, now it is, which is a really good step. so what does it mean for those making plans for christmas dinner? overall, we have lost quite a number of free—range birds from the christmas market, so there will be a slight shortage of supply. some turkeys will be more expensive. free—range turkeys may be more expensive, but it really depends on where you are in the country and the producer you are buying from. as ever, if you don't want to be disappointed, get your order in early. jonah fisher, bbc news. the covid public inquiry has asked to see borisjohnson's what are messages from his time as prime minister as part of its probe into decision—making. hugo keith who is leading the inquiry said the messages had been requested alongside thousands of other documents. this part of the

investigation is focused on how decisions to impose lockdowns and restrictions were taken. to make men have died after a car chase that ended with the delivery takeaway driver being knocked off his mopeds and another man fatally shot. the victims, both aged in their 20s were killed in brixton yesterday evening. no arrests have been made so far. the bbc�*s is to make cuts to its local radio stations across england. every day from a to b onwards, the 39 radio stations will share programmes instead of. —— right from 2pm. the bbc licence fee was frozen for two years from january and the bbc�*s director—general has warned there will be cuts to make savings. around 1 million households with prepayment metres, not yet redeemed

vouchers to help with energy bills, according to figures of the vouchers issued from october the 1st, under the government's energy bill support scheme in england, scotland and wales, can be exchanged for £66 worth of credit on the metre each month. this gives a total of £400 off bills this winter. the discount is automatic for customers using direct debit, monthly bills or smarter prepayment apps, but there are worries that those on old—fashioned metres could be missing out. our cost of living correspondent has the details. not so bad thanks. could i top up £50 on my gas card please. shirley's popped in to top up thor in but didn't know she was due extra cash from the government. i didn't know any about it untiljust now, so, yeah, it is, i don't know when i one is o supposed to be entitled to it from. an extra £66 a month will be wonderful. coming up to winter.

everyone in britain on a prepayment meter should have had theirfirst monthly instalment by today. but by lots of shops this man has not dished out as much as he would expect. they bring the letter with a proof of id, we will check the details and they will bring a key like this or a card like this and then we will top that up on to their system. we feel really happy that we have managed to help someone with that. it is a relief then for a lot of households, to have something on the account. definitely i would urge everyone just to double check, because it's, it is free money. some people may have decided not to cash their vouchers until the weather turns colder and they need the money more, the concern is others may miss out especially if their details aren't up—to—date and the vouchers don't arrive. caroline's worried that those who cash them won't see the whole benefit if they owe their energy company money.

it will make some difference, but, the problem is that many of them, with prepaymenter ins are already in a debt situation ab they are concerned some the proportion of that, a high proportion will be used to cover the debts. the vouchers expire after 90 days and the government are encouraging people to use them as soon as possible. but with millions of pounds as yet inclaimed, many of those missing out are those who will be most vulnerable this winter. a coroner has criticised exeter university for failing to provide adequate support to a student who took his own life last year. they said there was a catalogue of missed opportunities stop 21—year—old 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, clever and shy. he was on course to get a good grade for his physics degree, but injanuary last year he got poor exam results. he took his own life six months later in his family home in cornwall. our worlds fell apart. they'll never be the same again. we still haven't recovered, i don't think we will recover. it's the sort of thing that you, you can't believe it's actually happened. the inquest heard that harry had e—mailed the university a month before his death. he told them about his isolation during lockdown, his declining mental health and worries about his exams. his mother had also contacted them with concerns about his welfare. the coroner said there was a catalogue of missed opportunities, and that the university failed to respond effectively to the family's calls for help. he said he was concerned about a risk of future deaths, and that he would be writing to the university, asking them

to review staff training, suicide prevention and welfare services. the student's family are calling for harry's law, a number of legal changes, including the requirement for universities to publish their annual suicide rates. they hope this will act as a incentive for universities to offer more support and help sooner. no parent should outlive their child. these simple and inexpensive measure would, we have no doubt, ensure that fewer parents were made to suffer the misery that we will live with forever. in a statement, the university said... "we are deeply saddened by harry's death and the family's loss. we will consider the coroner's conclusions and make sure we learn lessons." the family say they will continue campaigning for changes, to help stop more students taking their own life. jenny kumar, bbc news.

is in full flow. but when you see berberis darwinii, or gunnera tinctoria, or even rhododendrons in full bloom, then you know something is not quite right. lovely beautiful flower out on it at the moment, but we woldn't normally expect to see that until may next year. chris skinner, a horticulturalist for 15 years, says the recent mild weather is confusing the plant world. why does it matter that all these flowers and all this change is going on right now? it matters because it means that the plants are wasting a lot of their valuable energy. the spring flowering plants flower at the wrong time of year, so that wastes their potential for next year, and it also means that some of our trees are really confused. but it is notjust plants and trees being thrown off by this topsy—turvy autumnal weather. wildlife, too, is also being confused. this one we would expect to be hibernating this november, december time. hedgehogs are just one species being fooled by the climate.

we've got birds that are not nesting because it is either too hot or too cold. we have hedgehogs that are not hibernating because it is too warm, when it is supposed to be nice and cold, and of courage it's having a big impact op on our baseline food chain, with insects not being there as part of the food source, so it is having a major impact. when autumn is squashed by summer, wildlife and plants get squeezed too. fragile ecosystems being caught out by the fickle climate. duncan kennedy, bbc news. it seems only right to look at tomorrow's weather. good evening. it's been another mild day, in fact, it's been a mild month. temperatures once again, as you can see for the rest of the year have been above the long—term average in central england, by quite some way in october. and with the southerly wind as well, it's pumping up lots of moisture. it's been a thoroughly wet day in

northern ireland, 30 or 40 mm here. and that rain still coming down, so some issues with flooding potentially and heavy thundershowers in the south. so not the best of evenings if heading out and about. we have got flashes of lightning and cracks of thunder and an escalating wind adding in the mix. with that wet weather means tricky travel conditions. the wind strongest in southern counties of england as we go to the night, that's where the warning exists. gusts of 60, possibly 70 mph causing nasty conditions. but with all the wind and the cloud and rain it means it will be a mild night. temperatures you can see on the chart ahere re more akin to the day time averages at this time a year. so a bit of a wet and windy one to start for some of us throught the morning rush. once that is blown out of the way there will be some sunshine for a time. although it looks wetter for the northeast of scotland tomorrow. and then a real rash over showers come back in, particularly across the southern half of the uk. again, thye could turn heavy, with a rumble of two of thunder. slow moving despite that breeze coming in from the southwest.

which will mean the temperatures are a degree or so down tomorrow and that's just because we've changed our wind direction. 12—15 is still above avarage. and those showers just keep coming tomorrow evening into the start of tuesday night. but then we do see a resbite before the next rain comes it does mean that actually tuesday night could be a bit chillier. we could have a touch of grass frost across the glens of scotland. of course there is going to be a little resbite between these two weather systems, but not for long. this looks a quite a nasty area of low pressure storming in off the atlantic. widespread gusts of 40 or 50 mph even inland so land gales, severe gales around the coast and the hills as well. and more rain. yes, at least another 20 or 30 mm of rain as it moves slowly eastward, perhaps holding off in the southeast until after dark. 15 or 16 again makes for a very mild day. now the that rain may drag its heels to clear across southern counties during thursday, a drier day to end the week friday. the warnings are on the website.
