government critics say the real problem is not the real numbers arriving but the home office record in managing them. clearly, that is huge pressure and therefore they are behind events, in that sense, otherwise we would not have that level of overcrowding. there is clearly a great difficulty in actually coping with the level of arrivals and thatis, with the level of arrivals and that is, i am afraid, yielding all sorts of pretty u na cce pta ble all sorts of pretty unacceptable results. all sorts of pretty unaccetable results. . unacceptable results. labour sa s the unacceptable results. labour says the government - unacceptable results. labour says the government cannot| says the government cannot escape responsibility for a system ministers and it is broken but the plans to send migrants to rwanda in the course, it is not clear how the government can fix a phenomenon which critics say is now a matter of political competence. and pressure piling on the home

of a bridge in gujarat, which resulted in the deaths of at least 140 people. they said those arrested included employees of a private company involved in the maintenance and management of the bridge. the man accused of attacking paul pelosi has been charged in a state court with attempted murder, burglary and threats to a public official. mr pelosi, the husband of house speaker nancy pelosi, needed surgery for a skull fracture, along with other injuries, following the attack on friday. he is expected to make a full recovery. the accused, david depape, will appear again in court on tuesday. to ukraine now and a special report on russia's targeting of its neighbours' energy infrastructure, with a wave of missile strikes across the country, including the capital, kyiv, where the mayor says four out of five people have been without running water. ukraine says russia fired at least 50 missiles but it was able to shoot
5:08 am
down most of them. our international editor jeremy bowen has spent the last week travelling through ukraine, from the frontline battlefields of the donbas, to the villages in kherson, where some of russia's best troops are concentrated to try to stop the ukrainian offensive. his 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.
5:09 am
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. 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. 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 mymrykova, a 75—year—old great—grandmother, was alone, until, she says, the man forced his way in and raped her. translation: 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. it's nowjust one week until the us midterm elections. mr biden and his democratic party are hoping to cling

braverman comes under fire for describing the influx of migrants on england's south coast as an "invasion". ukrainian rockets attack russian positions as moscow targets more of the country's infrastructure — we have a special report from the front line. israelis will vote in a general election on tuesday. it is the fifth general election in under four years. according to recent polls, the likud party headed by former pm netanyahu, who is currently on trial for corruption charges, is the most likely to win enough votes to form a right—wing coalition together with ultra—religious and ultra—nationalist parties. yolande knell has this report. a plea to israelis to head to the poles once again. this election day seems familiar,
5:18 am
but the results won'tjust be shaped by how people vote, they will come down to the deals done. israel has this very fragmented political system, and it always relies on coalition governments, but what is really unprecedented is to have this period of such political stalemate, where there are now five elections in under four years. there are now five elections in underfouryears. since there are now five elections in underfour years. since the under four years. since the long—time underfour years. since the long—time leader benjamin netanyahu was charged with corruption, which he denies, the country has been deeply split. current pm yellow peed is now campaigning on official photo ops. —— yair lapid. last is now campaigning on official phot he as. —— yair lapid. last is now campaigning on official phot he and -— yair lapid. last is now campaigning on official phot he and an(air lapid. last is now campaigning on official phot he and an idea apid. last 5:25:5- this eétffisif'“: ff“; “fee”??? h“? is eétéfisié'“: “a“; fiméfigfi “fl? is about rising election is about the rising popularity of the far right. where there is a supremacist is here. |premacist is here. for macist is here. for years: is was the political fringes, the politicalfringes, now

5:21 am
have issued their strongest warnings yet that nationwide protests must end. for more on this we're joined now by our news reporter azadeh moshiri. took us through this latest development. this took us through this latest development.— took us through this latest development. as you say this comes as _ development. as you say this comes as iran's _ development. as you say this comes as iran's leaders i comes as iran's leaders signalled over the weekend the crackdown is reaching a new phase. the president as well as the head of the revolution regard, the powerball revolution regard, issued stern warnings saying it is a redline and they will be no good for protests. and protesters. but nevertheless, many turned out on more than a dozen university campuses, defying those warnings. now this announcement has been made that for the 1000 that have been arrested in tehran alone, they are to face these public mass trials. they have been charged with things like acts of sabotage, some
5:22 am
have been accused of killing security forces, so they have been told they are going to be potentially receiving very severe sentences and all of this will be happening very quickly. they have also been painted throughout these protests as acting on behalf of foreign states, because that is how the government has tried to paint these protests, as acts from the west, from israel, trying to so descent within the country. it is worth saying that trial have already begun, there was state media who reported that over the weekend five people have begun their trials, and have been accused of things that do face the death penalty. in fact a mother of a 22 did record a message waiting for help saying her son has been sentenced to death. it is worth mentioning the government denies that, as says the sentence hasn't been doled out yet, that the mother disputes that account, it is worth listening to what she says. worth listening to what she sa s. ~ ,, ~ , �* says. translation: they didn't allow his lawyers _ says. translation: they didn't allow his lawyers to _ says. translation: they didn't allow his lawyers to enter- says. translation: they didn't allow his lawyers to enter the i allow his lawyers to enter the court — allow his lawyers to enter the court and _ allow his lawyers to enter the court and now treating my child unfairly — court and now treating my child unfairly. they have

5:24 am
despite the fact that these protesters are women, schoolchildren, even students, they have to take a tougher stance as they try to deter protesters from continuing these protests.— protesters from continuing these protests. ok, thank you for keeping — these protests. ok, thank you for keeping us _ these protests. ok, thank you for keeping us up-to-date i these protests. ok, thank you for keeping us up-to-date on| for keeping us up—to—date on this story. what's in a name? well if that name is hirokazu tanaka, quite a lot. injapan, a new world record has been set for the most number of people with the same first and second name meeting up. nearly 200 hirokazu tanakas got together in tokyo, as the bbc�*s tim allman explains. let's put it this way — introductions should not be much of a problem. hirokazu tanaka, meet hirokazu tanaka and so on. dozens of them of all ages gathered together in unique hirokazu tanaka style. translation: the members came from as far afield i as hokkaido in the north

now, they will go their separate ways. but if they do want to get in touch, remembering each other�*s names should be child's play. hirokazu tanaka — sorry — tim allman, bbc news. hello. well, october has finished on the same note that much of the month has continued on — a very mild one. but things will change through the rest of this week. notice how the warmer orange colours start to disappear on our temperature chart. the whites, and then the blues indicate temperatures at, if not below average, the first time we have seen that in a while as we go towards the end of the week. so, that gradual trend turns to things turning cooler, but with it still some further spells of rain and also much windier at times. a windy night will take us into the first day of november across the english channel coasts, that is on the southern edge of that area of low pressure, which is easing away, with it the heavy overnight rain to start the day. still a bit wet across parts
5:27 am
of scotland, northern and eastern england, a few showers in the south and west, and it will be a case of morning changing skies across england and wales as some brighter moments are punctuated by occasional showers. and then the showers become more frequent, heavy and thundery across southernmost counties and into the midlands and wales later on. brightening up across much of scotland through the day, southern scotland, northern england and actually northern ireland after some morning rain. not a bad afternoon, plenty of sunshine around. winds easing here, but strong to gale—force winds continue across the south, making it a cooler day than we have seen, but still with temperatures a degree or two above where we should be for the first stage in november. then into tuesday night, showers quite widely to begin with, easing temporarily in the west, only ahead of this approaching area of more persistent rain into northern ireland by dawn. because we will see those clearing skies, lighter winds for a time, but it will be a cooler start on wednesday morning, a bright start for many, but this developing area of low pressure could bring a bit of travel disruption through the day across some northern and western areas. the day starts off fine for much of scotland, england, eastern wales, but cloud, outbreaks of rain will gradually push their way eastwards, heavy at times, some squally winds with it. maybe some parts of eastern england will stay dry for longest, but in the west,
5:28 am
even if it does brighten up, we could see some potentially disruptive winds. as winds widely gale force could hit 60—70mph, those strong winds transferring across scotland through wednesday night and into thursday morning. winds ease a little bit on thursday, but after a spell of rain for most, they could linger through much of the day towards east anglia and the south—east. sunshine and showers elsewhere, temperatures by this stage back to where we would probably normally expect for this stage in november. they will hold at those levels, around 10 to 14 degrees, through friday and the weekend. friday looking bright but more rain returns on saturday.
