this is bbc news. the headlines: conditions at a migrant processing centre in kent are described as �*wretched' — as a watchdog calls on the government to �*get a grip' of the situation. it isa it is a very challenging situation with no simple solutions. we are going to do everything we can to restore order to our borders. more debate about windfall tax, after the oil giant bp reports global profits of more than £7 billion in the three months to september. the former health secretary matt hancock has been suspended as a conservative mp, after revealing he's to appear on i'm a celebrity get me out of here. the government has revealed details of a previously secret programme
2:01 pm
to help defend ukraine against russian cyber attacks. and, from the hand of god to the auction house — the ball used to score one of football's most famous goals goes under the hammer. good afternoon. welcome to the programme. a new report into pressures at the manston migrant processing centre in kent has raised questions about whether conditions worsened there after suella braverman first became home secretary, in september. the chief inspector of prisons says that in july the facility was working "reasonably well", despite a number of risks — but that since then it's deteriorated significantly, with conditions now described as "wretched".
2:02 pm
it comes as the immigration minister told the bbc that politicians should be careful with language — after suella bravermen claimed southern england was facing an invasion of migrants. our correspondent robin brant has this report. flying the flag in red, white and blue, the home secretary still has questions to answer. journalists shout questions a polite smile was all she offered on her way into cabinet this morning. on the overcrowding crisis at manston migrant processing centre, the question is what she did, didn't do and plans to do going forward. yesterday, she likened it to a "military attack", but that's language her own colleague refused to repeat. the british people deserve to know which party is serious about stopping the invasion on our southern coast.
2:03 pm
well, i think it's a phrase that expresses very clearly the concern that millions of people feel across the country. of course, as a minister in my position, you have to choose your words carefully, but i think that the scale of the challenge is very significant. a new report describes conditions inside these marquees as "wretched". migrants off boats are supposed to be processed in hours at manston, in kent. instead, there's a huge backlog. they're sleeping, by. and large, on the floor. there are sort of rubber mats down i and then, on top of the rubber mats, they're putting blankets to turn them into sort of— rudimentary mattresses. but it's cramped conditions. there are not proper beds. people are sleeping on benches in some of the marquees. - and generally, it's very - uncomfortable, and particularly in the tent that's given over to families. - working out what caused this, who caused it remains challenging. the local conservative mp is still blaming the conservative home secretary.
2:04 pm
five weeks ago, quite clearly, the policy changed. the home secretary — i still believe, although she has said otherwise — decided not to commission more accommodation for people to be moved on into, and we then got the most horrible backlog which we've got now. in dover, on the front line, it's a daily worry for some locals, as the numbers coming over on small boats edges close to a record 40,000 this year. a lot of people have just had enough. i feel sorry for the people that have been exploited but, hey, you know, it's costing about £5 million a day in hotel rooms, so something needs to be done. this community is getting packed. they say they're coming in because they're refugees, but a lot of them are not. they come from a safe country. now, on my understanding, if you come from a safe country, you're not... you're a migrant. robin brant, bbc news.

0ur correspondent ben wright is in westminster. hi there, so, a lot happening today. what is been a political fallout, the reaction to what we have learned? ~ ., the reaction to what we have learned?— the reaction to what we have learned? ~ ., , learned? well, we had “ust there makin: it learned? well, we had “ust there making it clear h learned? well, we hadjust there making it clear rhetorical- making it clear rhetorical distinction between himself and the home secretary which is interesting. he clearly felt that she went too far in describing an invasion of the south coast of england. but in policy terms you can't really say any difference between various members of the government at the moment. i think there is a widespread exception that this is a crisis in the immigration and asylum system. this is a government that has been in powerfor i2 system. this is a government that has been in powerfor 12 years and i think the language that suella braverman has been using, this being of —— make an invasion doesn't help when people are going to judge their record. where it goes from here is the question. as they said today
2:06 pm
there are no easy fixes for this, there are no easy fixes for this, there is this huge asylum backlog. people waiting 14 months to have the application is processed. there is clearly no obvious solution to stopping people leaving the french coast in small boats and coming over to england. i think there is a feeling in government that there needs to be urgently a new deal done with france but nobody is quite sure what that deal would look like. and the home office, and the agencies attached to it needs to be much better at getting those asylum applications processed. this is a systemic problem and i think government ministers are left scratching their heads about how to fix it. , ., ., ~ ., ., fix it. lets look at the more immediate _ fix it. lets look at the more immediate problem - fix it. lets look at the more immediate problem of- fix it. lets look at the more immediate problem of that| fix it. lets look at the more _ immediate problem of that processing centre in kent which has experienced those big big increases in numbers. in the blockage in the system now which is basically nowhere for them to go to, be that centres or hotel rooms or whatever. we have had some
2:07 pm
mps pointing the finger saying that this was an area where decisions could have been made and could have been made differently to try and increase capacity. is there any more clarity on that? ida. increase capacity. is there any more clarity on that?— clarity on that? no, there isn't et. we clarity on that? no, there isn't yet- we had — clarity on that? no, there isn't yet. we had suella _ clarity on that? no, there isn't yet. we had suella braverman| yet. we had suella braverman yesterday denied that she had ignored illegal advice and that she had not procured the hotel space needed to ease pressure at that processing centre. it was one tory mp that accused her of making a deliberate political choice to make things at that processing centre as hard as possible in an effort to deter people from making the crossing. that is something that the home secretary denied. you abs it right, it is the blockage of that centre which is the immediate problem. because there are not the hotels and the accommodation for people to go on to. all the way through the system there is an issue that needs to be dealt with. the cost of calls to the government and taxpayer is huge. i don't they spend about £6 million a day on hotel
2:08 pm
rooms alone. this is a colossal problem that they are grappling with and it feels to me that aside from the economic questions are huge right now the rishi sunak, this is becoming the political problem in his in tray early on in this premiership that he is going to have to deal with. premiership that he is going to have to deal with-— to deal with. thanks for that. were auoin to to deal with. thanks for that. were going to stay _ to deal with. thanks for that. were going to stay with _ to deal with. thanks for that. were going to stay with this _ to deal with. thanks for that. were going to stay with this because - to deal with. thanks for that. were going to stay with this because we | going to stay with this because we can go out of our home affairs correspondent following things down there in manston that we were just talking about there with ben. he gave the latest about the situation on the ground that this morning. we saw a number of coaches going in there this morning. so there is clearly an attempt to try and get the number which was 4000 on sunday afternoon back down to a normal manageable level. but remember, only 48 people cross the channel yesterday. so by definition, the more than 3000 people who are still
2:09 pm
in this migration centre have been there more than the 24—hour is that it was designed for. this is not ablated beds and all kinds of arrangements for people to sleep. it is a place where people are essentially sleeping on mats. we have seen people queueing up this to use the portaloos through the fences. this is still a place which is got very poor level of facilities for people spending any length of time here and certainly there are still 3000 plus still inside the centre. thank you for that. 0il giants bp have reported a massive profit between the months ofjuly and september this year. they've made $8.2 billion, that's £7.1 billion for the period. that's more than double the profit over the same three months last year. a windfall tax introduced by rishi sunak when he was chancellor means the company is expecting to pay almost £700 million on its profits this year. let's take you live to our business

" world oil that is because the companies are. that is because the politicians are looking at their populations who are struggling with the cost of living crisis in energy thercost of living crisis in energy what we costs and thinking, what can we do? what can we say? so there is increase political pressure at the moment on politicians to see what they might do and whether they might do something like the do something like extending the windfall tax. i do something like extending the windfall tax.— do something like extending the windfall tax. ., , ., windfall tax. ?f%7?5 an hinu windfall tax. ?f%7?5 an him from bp windfall tax. ?f%72 an him from bp because windfall at; - is anything from bp because windfall at; - is not thing from bp because windfall at; - for not aing from bp because windfall at; - for companies lm bp because windfall at; - for companies lm bp t to iuse windfall at; - for companies lm bp tto bn: windfall law: 2 - for compa profits, sp t to en: windfall at; - for compa profits, in tto bn: windfall fax. i least for compa profits, in tto bn: windfall at; i least for comp iprofits, in tto bn: windfall at; i least for comp iprofits, the :o bn: windfall m7 2 i least 1things |p i profits, the :o bn: paying ogn how much they're paying towards less big for eli of course the?i making

such big profits. this is an impact but it's dramatic �* the scale. it's more of the reputational , in terms of how they are seen as by the public. that is important to bp as well but of how by the public. that is important to bp as well see of how by the public. that is important to bp as well see them. how by the public. that is important to bp as well see them. in how by the public. that is important to bp as well see them. in those politicians see them. in those investments that in the investments that may happen in the future. so in terms of how bp have talked about that they had said that they are going to be paying windfall taxes this year. as we say, this is about £700 million through the course of the year and that is from the end of may when the windfall tax was first introduced in the uk and to the end of this year the shell, we know that last week they were not expecting to be paying any windfall tax and that's because there was a clause introduced by rishi sunak when he was chancellor into this when he was chancellor into this when for tax policy which allows companies to offset their investments. because shell had invested a north sea oil they are able to offset that as well and therefore not pay that level of taxation too. there has been criticism about that from the labour
2:13 pm
party, but there has also been discussion even internally as well with conservatives, even with president biden who was talking about the fact that oil companies need to do more and have that responsibility too. really, a pressure building and ramping up at the moment. flan pressure building and ramping up at the moment-— pressure building and ramping up at the moment. can you 'ust remind us where we _ the moment. can you 'ust remind us where we are in i the moment. can youjust remind us where we are in terms _ the moment. can youjust remind us where we are in terms of— the moment. can youjust remind us where we are in terms of the - where we are in terms of the wholesale prices. earlier in the year it was all over the headlines, all of us knew exactly how much oil and gas was. what is happening to the prices since then and any idea of where it will be heading? i think are interesting _ of where it will be heading? i think are interesting point _ of where it will be heading? i think are interesting point to _ of where it will be heading? i think are interesting point to make i of where it will be heading? i think are interesting point to make is i are interesting point to make is about gas. in the eu we have seen a drop of gas prices in the last month or so. that is a little bit complicated and potentially short term but the main reason for people to think these gas prices have dropped is firstly because a lot of the storage in the eu is relatively full. 93% to 94% full. and it's a relatively warm winter so far so those storage supplies have a mail
2:14 pm
to be drained, they haven't reduced downs they haven't fell back up again. so at the moment, not quite as much demand for some of the gases. howeverthat as much demand for some of the gases. however that doesn't mean in the long run that those prices are going to remain at that level. there is an expectation that if anything such as a cold winter should happen, thatis such as a cold winter should happen, that is going to push gas prices up, notjust in the eu but if there is a cold winter in asia that can also cause issues too. a lot of factors at play here. one thing keep in mind is that we have had a lot of discussions about recession, whether the uk might already be in a recession, whether the bank of england is expected in the uk to go into recession, there has been warning about that. when that starts have a play on these global energy crisis as well. what if there is a recession across the economy, not just in the uk. that would decrease demand for some of the energy and whether that has a decreasing effect on the price, the foreigners at the same time we still have some of those other issues that are pushing the price up, including the war in

2:18 pm
for dyslexia, but you do not do this without realising it is going to be controversial. when nadine dorries in 2013 did something similar, catching the party off guard, flying out to australia without telling anyone, she did lose the whip, so the precedent was there. that said, mr hancock's team put out a long statement in the last couple of minutes, last half hour or so, saying that actually he had already spoken to the whips, he was aware of this and thinks it is a good thing. he thinks that politics is quite stable now with the new prime minister, rishi sunak, so off he went. it has been noted however that he did miss out on a job in the reshuffle last week and he was running to be chairman of the powerful house of commons treasury committee and he has now obviously pulled out of that race and sits as an independent. thank you for speaking to us earlier. we are going to stick with politics that returned our main

been on stopping them getting her or farming them off someone —— somewhere else when they get here. no one has really engaged with, this is 40,000 people now, a predicted 60,000 by the end of the year. where do we how's that? how do we make that decision quickly? how do we get them through an appeal system quickly? if we don't get —— if they don't qualify for protection how do we remove them quickly? idelimit don't qualify for protection how do we remove them quickly? what does that need? to _ we remove them quickly? what does that need? to sat _ we remove them quickly? what does that need? to sat need _ we remove them quickly? what does that need? to sat need more - that need? to sat need more staff, more people actually eyes on and actually going through the claims? the decisions are made by human beings are not computers so yes, it needs people to make those decisions. but it also needs sufficient resources in the courts. there are two layers of appeals within the court system after that initial decision. so it is notjust a home office is the ministry of justice as well and we need to be out to be together all the way

2:26 pm
a daily onslaught of cyber attack from russia since the start of the invasion, and they have done a heroicjob at defending particularly their critical national infrastructure and it has been an honour to bring to bear some of our expertise in assisting them in doing that. so we are providing them with expertise, resources and hardware. and it is those three things combined that has allowed them to do an extremely good job at defending from cyber attack. of course, they have a long—standing and deep expertise in this field. since 2014 they have faced a considerable number of attacks. 0ur security correspondent gordon corera is with me.— hi, just tell us a bit more about what support that has been given here? , ., , ., ., ., here? this was a programme that was ste- -ed u- here? this was a programme that was stepped up immediately _ here? this was a programme that was stepped up immediately after - here? this was a programme that was stepped up immediately after the i
2:27 pm
stepped up immediately after the invasion in february. what involved was british expertise getting forensic help to the ukrainians to investigate and detect some of this onslaught of cyber attacks. some of those attacks were directed at taking down infrastructure that ukraine depended on, in other cases it was being used to spy and gather intelligence, even potentially about individuals who the russian might want to have targeted. so by providing this kind of help ukraine has been able to defend against their cyber attacks. a lot of people thought all the ukrainian systems would be taking off line, their power grid would be switched off through cyber war and their systems would be taken down. there have been a lot of attacks but on the whole, the most worrying scenario hasn't happened. partly because ukrainians have been able to resist much better—than—expected but also because of some help from allies including the uk here providing the £6 million programme which we have just learnt of down because previously it was considered

sport now, and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre. good afternoon. england have kept their t20 cricket world cup hopes alive after a 20—run win over new zealand in brisbane. england knew defeat would all—but eliminate them from the competition. they batted first and saw jos buttler top score with 73 off 47 balls, as they made 179—6. chasing 180 to win new zealand were on 65—2 when moeen ali dropped a simple catch off glenn phillips — who went on to make 62, but he was eventually caught in the 18th over off the bowling of sam curren. new zealand falling short, as they made 159—6. england move back in to the top 2. i thought we put in a very good performance, any time you take on
2:34 pm
new zealand you know you are up for a tough challenge, but i am very proud of the guys tonight and to play with freedom, express ourselves and show off our talents, i was really proud of the character we showed. the women's rugby league world cup has just got under way in leeds. england are taking on brazil. we can show you some live pictures now, the match started a couple of minutes ago, england are already over the line, they lead 4—0, they have a conversion to make it six, brazil are playing their third ever match and the first south americans to qualify for the tournament, england will be looking to wrestle the title away from australia and new zealand, those are two sides have shared all previous world cups between them, the conversion just wide soon after three minutes england lead 4—0 and live coverage continues, if you want to watch it over on bbc two right now.
2:35 pm
tottenham insist they're fully prepared to take on marseille tonight in the champions league — even without their suspended manager antonio conte. spurs need just a point if they're to reach the knockout stages of the competition, but can expect a real cauldron—like atmosphere. conte was sent off in the closing moments of their last group match against sporting lisbon. everyone is well aware, the staff is well prepared, and we all know that we need to help each other. for me, it's not a difficult situation. it's maybe a different situation, but, you know, we know what to do. we are well aware of the situation. jurgen klopp's also in the spotlight — his side are 15 points behind premier league leaders arsenal, but have qualified for the knockout stage of the champions league already. they host italian league leaders napoli. everything will be judged about me now as well, which is absolutely fine. but when people look at me, they're going to say, "he looks tired or whatever," that's normal as well. i'm not... i'm not. i cannot give that excuse. so much for me.
2:36 pm
it's not. myjob is not only being here in the moment when the sun is shining and somebody gives us a trophy. myjob is as well here to be there when we have to go through a really rough period. so... and i will do that. manchester city manager pep guardiola has confirmed that erling haarland won't play in their champions league match against sevilla tomorrow. the 22—year—old was forced to sit out manchester city's trip to leicester city last weekend after suffering a combination of illness and injury. his manager says he's not yet back in training — but is hopeful he'll feature against fulham on saturday. city have already qualified for the last 16. british number two dan evans has won at the paris masters for the first time in his career — beating brandon nakashima 6—3, 3—6, 6—4 to move through to round two, where he'll face stefanos tsitsipas. he's joined in the last 32 by fellow brit jack draper who beat france's arthur rinderknech in straight sets 6—3, 6—4. the 20—year—old, ranked 45
2:37 pm
in the world, will play american frances tiafoe next. that's all the sport for now. england are still 4—0 up in the rugby league, you can watch that on bbc two. more now on the home secretary, suella braverman, facing growing criticism for the way people are treated when they arrive on the kent coast illegally. but what do the local residents think about it? graham satchell has been to meet some of them. the white cliffs of dover have always been more than just a landmark. they are a symbol of home — the first sight of england for returning travellers. today they are also the first thing migrants see, as they arrive in small boats. almost 40,000 have reached the coast so far this year. 0n dover high street, there is a mix of anger and frustration. a lot of people have just had enough.
2:38 pm
i feel sorry for the people that are being exploited. but, hey, you know, that's costing about £5 million a day in hotel rooms. so, something needs to be done. do you feel any sympathy for the people who are making their way over in small boats? some of them, yeah, because they've they've left war—torn countries, but places like albania are quite safe. and why don't they seek refuge in the first country they come to? to me, it is getting out of hand. they say they're coming in because they're refugees, but a lot of them are not. they've come from a safe country. now, my understanding, if you come from a safe country, you're not a refugee. you're a migrant, you know. a working man's club in dover, where the world is put to rights over a pint and a game of pool. the view here at the heart of the crisis is uncompromising. i think the majority of the people don't want it. no, they don't want them here. definitely don't want them here.
2:39 pm
send them back. if they can't do that, i don't know what the solution is, really. behind the bar, chantelle is worried that in the clamour for something to be done, genuine refugees will be overlooked. they're very desperate people, trying to get a better life. and i feel like if that's the lengths that they need to go through to try and get that, then i'm fine. i'd do the same for my family. and the way i look at it is all the surrounding countries that surround syria and other places, there's millions — millions of refugees and migrants there. that's nothing compared to the small numbers that are coming here. for people in dover, this crisis is very close to home. just over a week ago, two migrant boats landed on this beach under the white cliffs. one of the occupants, an albanian teenager, ended up in sue doyle's front room. it's left her traumatised. i don't want to be here any more. it's just...
2:40 pm
i was terrified. you don't know. you don't know what they're going to do. and it is scary. back on the high street, there is a clear understanding that there are no easy answers. i haven't got a solution. what's got to happen? despite all the hot air that's going on in various countries, in various governments, there's no uniformed approach. and until you get a uniformed approach, you're not going to get a solution. people in dover have been living with this crisis for years. yesterday, the home secretary herself described the system as broken and out of control. graham satchell, bbc news, dover. joining me now is diana johnson, labour mp for hull north
2:41 pm
and the chair of home affairs select committee. good afternoon. yesterday we were told he wanted the home secretary to come to the house of commons and give certain explanations, what do you make of what you heard? to be frank, i you make of what you heard? to be frank. i am — you make of what you heard? to be frank, i am still— you make of what you heard? to be frank, i am still not _ you make of what you heard? to be frank, i am still not sure _ you make of what you heard? to be frank, i am still not sure exactly i frank, i am still not sure exactly what was happening in at the home office as the numbers of migrants coming across the channel over the summer started to accelerate, in terms of the action they took to deal with those increasing numbers. because we have ended up with manston now are still around 4000 people, when it was designed for 1600. so i am still a little confused about that and i am also wanting to know now what the home secretary is going to do to deal with the backlog of cases that we know are in the asylum system, the to 117,000. the bag and 96% of the people who came in both last year
2:42 pm
haven't had their asylum claims dealt with, so that is where she needs to put some effort and i am interested to know what she is going to do to get through that backlog and it wasn't clear yesterday, she spoke a lot about the crisis in the asylum system, but it wasn't really clear what practical steps she is going to take. indie clear what practical steps she is going to take-— clear what practical steps she is going to take. clear what practical steps she is iioin to take. ~ ., going to take. we will come back to the wider backlog _ going to take. we will come back to the wider backlog of _ going to take. we will come back to the wider backlog of cases - going to take. we will come back to the wider backlog of cases and i going to take. we will come back to the wider backlog of cases and the l the wider backlog of cases and the big numbers and clearly that will take a significant shift in resources to try to manage, just on manston and the sudden relatively sudden surge in numbers there, did you get any detail to your satisfaction about whether it was known about in the home office and what was done to try to prevent it happening? the what was done to try to prevent it happening?— what was done to try to prevent it hannenini? ., , ,, . happening? the home affairs select committee have _ happening? the home affairs select committee have been _ happening? the home affairs select committee have been looking i happening? the home affairs select committee have been looking at i happening? the home affairs selectj committee have been looking at this issue for the last two years and we have produced a report in the summer and one of the things we said our report was that the home office were expecting the this year to increase on the numbers from last year. so that was the planning expectation and that we understood the home office were engaging in. so, as the
2:43 pm
office were engaging in. so, as the inspector for office were engaging in. so, as the inspectorfor borders office were engaging in. so, as the inspector for borders and immigration is a sad, you planned for the worst and you hoped for the best. that is where i am still really not sure what exactly has gone wrong, that we have ended up with this situation at manston. my understand it was the home office were planning on these numbers being at least 40,000 this year and we are around that figure now, so something doesn't quite tally at the moment. what is your best guess as to what has gone wrong, what does it entail, not enough accommodation booked? clearly there is an issue about accommodation and about what was booked, when, there are questions yesterday to the home secretary about whether she stopped accommodation being booked. i asked her a very specific question about what options were put before her to book accommodation and how many of those options did she take up and approve and she didn't really answer me specifically on that question. i am told it takes about two months for hotel accommodation normally to
2:44 pm
be booked, so the hotel accommodation that has been coming on stream has probably been booked from when priti patel was home secretary and it was also booked when grant shapps was home secretary for a short period. but it is a bit unclear exactly what suella braverman did when she was alerted to the need to get more accommodation.- to the need to get more accommodation. �* , ., accommodation. and if it turns out to be she was _ accommodation. and if it turns out to be she was alerted _ accommodation. and if it turns out to be she was alerted and - accommodation. and if it turns out to be she was alerted and didn't i to be she was alerted and didn't act, what are the consequences of that? ., , act, what are the consequences of that? . , ., , , act, what are the consequences of that? .,, i, that? clearly that is very serious and we know _ that? clearly that is very serious and we know that _ that? clearly that is very serious and we know that there - that? clearly that is very serious and we know that there are i that? clearly that is very serious and we know that there are all l that? clearly that is very serious i and we know that there are all sorts of issues around the legality of what has been going on at manston and holding people forfar longer than the 24 hours that people are supposed to be there for. but it is not clear yet and i think there is still clarification that needs to be given by the home office. let’s given by the home office. let's touch on her— given by the home office. let's touch on her language, - given by the home office. let's touch on her language, which has been criticised by some labour mps, calling it an invasion on the south coast, when referring to people coming over. what you make of that line which? i coming over. what you make of that line which? ., , ,

2:46 pm
piloting asylum claims being made overin piloting asylum claims being made over in france before people travel to the uk. there are various things you need to do, including looking at the evidence about why people on getting in the small boats and making policies that are evidence—based and fit for purpose, at the moment meant we are concerned that the policy making in the home office is not based on evidence, is not looking at cost effectiveness, but is using things like the rwanda policy as a catchall, this will solve it, when clearly it hasn't. thank you very much for coming on. it's been just four days since elon musk sealed the deal, purchasing twitter for $44 billion. since then, musk has dissolved twitter�*s board of directors and taken up position as the platform's ceo. there are rumours about what changes users cab expect as elon musk is said to be considering a range of reforms to the platform. i'm nowjoined by our

2:48 pm
former regime and he won't be making any decisions about other content that has been banned, perhaps being reinstated. he is also said to be looking at introducing a monthly fee for the verification badge, the little blue take that official accounts have, celebrities have them, they have kind of been even better at it in the past on merits, he suggested that people should pay $20 a month for them. this hasn't gone particularly well, as you can imagine, many... stephen king tweeted earlier, that i have to pay $20. tweeted earlier, that i have to pay $20, then i am. you must reply to him, we have bills to pay, would pay $8? he is in the negotiation process. there is a serious point, he does have bills to pay, twitter is a network that doesn't make profit. hasn't really turned much of a profit in years, has a very stagnant user membership and something has to be done to make money. something has to be done to make mone . . ~' something has to be done to make mone . ., ~ ,, something has to be done to make mone . . ~ ,, y something has to be done to make mone. ., , . ., ., money. thank you very much for that, i'm sure we — money. thank you very much for that, i'm sure we will _ money. thank you very much for that, i'm sure we will track _ money. thank you very much for that, i'm sure we will track pretty _ money. thank you very much for that, i'm sure we will track pretty soon - i'm sure we will track pretty soon about what latest idea is when it

2:50 pm
leader benjamin netanyahu was charged with bribery, fraud and breach of trust — which he denies. he's now hoping to stage a comeback with the help of parties from the far right. our middle east correspondent yolande knell sent this report. everyone makes a last—minute ditch for their candidate as israelis head to the polls again. this election day seems familiar, 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. since the long—time leader benjamin netanyahu was charged with corruption, which he denies, the country has been deeply split. current pm, yair lapid, has campaigned on official photo ops. last year he drew together
2:51 pm
an ideologically diverse coalition which pushed netanyahu from office. but this is the story of this election, the rise in popularity of the far right. where there is a flashpoint, jewish supremacist itamar ben—gvir is always there. for years, he was on the political fringes. now he is being talked about as a potential cabinet minister. an alliance with veteran deal—maker benjamin netanyahu, here waking up an unsuspecting is—year—old to tell him to cast his ballot, could see him return to power. but for voters, no one has cornered the market. so i'm planning on voting to the zionist religious party, which is going to both support my beliefs on security and on religion, and hopefully we will have a good result. this person wants lapid to stay.
2:52 pm
who knows, maybe he will be better, but you have to give him a chance, because netanyahu, 12 years, didn't do nothing. so then who do you think has got the answers? i'm not sure, but i - hope maybe netanyahu. you think netanyahu is coming back? yeah. so what does a seasoned election watcher have to say? the main thing really to look out for on election night will be which parties manage to cross the threshold and if some of the parties fail to cross the threshold, that means his chances have been significantly boosted. and with polls predicting another close finish, israelis know there is the possibility of another deadlock and having to choose all over again. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. i want to bring you some breaking news and now here in in the uk,

counterterrorism police are now leading investigation into that firebombing of a dover immigration centre on the sunday, the suspect was named as. there were two or three devices thrown at that immigration centre in dover, then the man, the suspect, 66 years old was found dead and because of that fire of the hundreds of people that we can see right now then moved from that location to the processing centre in manston that we have been concentrating on that was built for 1600 or so people to be processed and now has around 4000 people in there. the priority there is to try to move those people on to some form of accommodation. we now have an update on the investigation into that original incident at the
2:54 pm
separate site, that fire and the latest is that counterterrorism police are now leading that investigation. the suspect was named. the ball that diego maradona used to score his �*hand of god' goal against england at the 1986 world cup is soon going to be sold at auction — and it's thought it could fetch £3 million. our correspondent nesta mcgregor has been to wembley, where it's on display before it goes under the hammer. the centre of attention on display at wembley, the home of english football, 36 years after causing england's players and fans so much heartache. maradona just walked away from hoddle then. mexico city, 1986. world cup quarterfinal, england versus argentina. 0—0 until diego maradona decided to take matters into his own hands. punching the ball beyond
2:55 pm
the onrushing peter shilton. the ball seen crossing the line has been in the cupboard of the tunisian referee until now. do you admit it was a mistake and is there any guilt about now profiting from that decision? translation: i don't feel any guilt at this point and the infamous hand of god was part of the game. in football, there is no guilt whatsoever if you think you made the right decision. in contrast, maradona's second goal was one of the greatest the world has ever seen. his team won the game 2—1 and the striker eventually went on to lift the trophy. commentator: he won't need any of them. - oh, you have to say that is magnificent! england's players were left to lift each other�*s spirits. people have said they can't get close or touch it. could you? well, i didn't on the day and i'm not going to try now. no, it's iconic. it's amazing seeing it. it's in the memory bank. good memories and bad memories.
2:56 pm
earlier this year, the shirt worn by diego maradona in that match sold at auction for more than £7 million. the ball is expected to fetch upwards of 2.5 million. there is likely to be no shortage of bidders eager to own a piece of the hand of god, but they will have to put their own hands deep in their pockets. nesta mcgregor, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather. good afternoon. our changeable weather pattern continues. october for most has brought average rainfall but well in excess for northern ireland. tuesday will see lots of rain in the south, and it is an unsettled pattern for much of the week. this chart shows the rainfall accumulating over the next four or five days. quite significant rainfall for most parts of the british isles actually for the next four or five days. so, where those showers come down throughout the rest of the afternoon, they will bring a lot of rain,
2:57 pm
strong and gusty winds, 140—50 mph in places, perhaps fewest in northern england and eastern scotland, but still quite wet for the northern isles. temperatures are lower than those of yesterday, and as we go through the evening and overnight, the showers will slowly fade away. more after midnight for most of us and the next rain already sweeping into northern ireland. in between, it is a quieter period of weather with temperatures down to single figures, so a cooler night and a touch of grass frost around in the north in particular. a bit of mist and fog first thing tomorrow morning if you are travelling through the rush—hour. it should not last long because the wind is strengthening all the time, and heavy rain will pile in across northern ireland once again on saturated ground, and it will push in through the morning across northern and western parts of scotland, probably through the central belt and into parts of wales and northern england by the time we get to the end of the morning it is unlikely to reach east anglia and the south—east until after dark.
2:58 pm
disruptive winds are possible, gusts inland 140—50 mph, severe gale force winds around the irish coast. the warnings can be found on the website. still mild, 11—16. that low pressure starts to blow out into the north sea but it leaves a legacy of rain on wednesday night and into thursday across southern areas. we don't know how long it'll take to clear away, but it could give significant rain for a time into south—east england and east anglia. showers rushing in behind, but some drier weather in between, and temperatures back down to the seasonal average, or closer to them we have been for some time. by the end of the week, by friday, a ridge of high pressure so a quieter spell for a day, a drier day, but more rain is forecast.

was working "reasonably well", despite a number of risks — but that since then it's deteriorated significantly, with conditions now described as "wretched". it comes as the immigration minister told the bbc that politicians should be careful with language — after suella bravermen claimed southern england was facing an invasion of migrants. our correspondent robin brant has this report. flying the flag in red, white and blue, the home secretary still has questions to answer. did you ignore legal advice? a polite smile was all she offered on her way into cabinet this morning. 0n the overcrowding crisis at manston migrant processing centre, the question is what she did, didn't do and plans to do going forward. yesterday, she likened it to a "military attack", but that's language her own colleague refused to repeat. the british people deserve to know which party is serious

about stopping the invasion on our southern coast. well, i think it's a phrase that expresses very clearly the concern that millions of people feel across the country. of course, as a minister in my position, you have to choose your words carefully, but i think that the scale of the challenge is very significant. a new report describes conditions inside these marquees as "wretched". migrants off boats are supposed to be processed in hours at manston, in kent. instead, there's a huge backlog. they're sleeping, by. and large, on the floor. there are sort of rubber mats down i and then, on top of the rubber mats, they're putting blankets to turn them into sort of— rudimentary mattresses. but it's cramped conditions. there are not proper beds. people are sleeping on benches in some of the marquees. - and generally, it's very - uncomfortable, and particularly in the tent that's given over to families. - working out what caused this,
3:04 pm
who caused it remains challenging. the local conservative mp is still blaming the conservative home secretary. five weeks ago, quite clearly, the policy changed. the home secretary — i still believe, although she has said otherwise — decided not to commission more accommodation for people to be moved on into, and we then got the most horrible backlog which we've got now. in dover, on the front line, it's a daily worry for some locals, as the numbers coming over on small boats edges close to a record 40,000 this year. a lot of people have just had enough. i feel sorry for the people that have been exploited but, hey, you know, it's costing about £5 million a day in hotel rooms, so something needs to be done. this community is getting packed. they say they're coming in because they're refugees, but a lot of them are not. they come from a safe country. now, on my understanding, if you come from a safe country, you're not... you're a migrant.
3:05 pm
robin brant, bbc news. ijust want i just want to tell you about some details that we are getting in about this incident. we have been hearing in the last ten minutes or so that counterterrorism police are now leading the investigation into the incident involving petrol bombs thrown at a immigration centre and over on sunday. and remember, that is a separate venue for manston which is the processing centre in kent, which is seen these large increases in numbers in that place. part of the reason was because of this attack in this other facility. in the person behind this attack is believed his name is andrew, he was 66 from high wycombe. he has been named as the suspect. this is a quote from kent police. what appears clear is that this despicable
3:06 pm
offence was targeted and likely to have been driven by some sort of hate filled grievance, although this might not meet the threshold of terrorism. the 66 rob was later found dead at a nearby station. —— the 66—year—old. latest details of those petrol bombs thrown at that centre. we are getting more details now about that attack when we have a fuller context we will bring that to you. let's return now to manston which is the processing centre which is seen that big increase in numbers of people staying there. i caught up with our political correspondent ben wright earlier. he summarised the day's reaction and home secretary's
3:07 pm
comments on the matter. i day's reaction and home secretary's comments on the matter.— comments on the matter. i think there is a widespread _ comments on the matter. i thinkj there is a widespread acceptance that this is a crisis within the immigration and asylum system for which there is no easy answer. this is a government which has been in powerfor 12 years and is a government which has been in power for 12 years and i think the language that suella braverman has been using, this being an invasion does not do the government any help actually when it comes to how people are going tojudge actually when it comes to how people are going to judge their record. where it goes from here is the question. as robertjenrick said today, there are no easy fixes today. there is this huge scythe and backlog people are waiting 1a months to have their request process. there is no easy solution to people leaving the french coast in small boats and coming over to england. the government believes there needs to be a deal made urgently with france but people aren't sure what that deal would look like. the home office and agencies attached to it need to be much better at getting
3:08 pm
those asylum applications processed. this is a systemic problem and government ministers, including robertjenrick are left scratching their heads about how to fix it. lets look at the more immediate problem of that processing centre in kent which is experience those big, big increases in numbers. and, the blockage in the system there which is basically nowhere for them to go onto, be that centres or hotel rooms or whatever�*s. we have had some mps pointing the finger saying, this was an area where decisions could have been made and could have been made differently to try and increase capacity. is there any more clarity on that? ., , �* , ~ on that? no, there isn't yet. we heard suella _ on that? no, there isn't yet. we heard suella braverman - saying that they have ignored legal advice and they have not procured the extra hotel stay is needed to use pressure at that processing centre in manston. but, it was one tory mp actually, roger gale who accused her of making a deliberate
3:09 pm
political choice to try and make conditions there in that centre as hard as possible in an effort to try and deter people from making the crossing. that is something the home secretary denied that you are absent right, it is the blockage at that centre which is the immediate problem because there are not be hotels and accommodation for the people than to go on to. so all the system, there is an issue that needs to to be dealt with. the cost of calls to the government and the taxpayer is huge. i think they spend £6 million a day on hotel rooms alone. this is a colossal problem that they are grappling with and it feels like beside the economic questions, which of course a huge right out of rishi sunak. this is becoming the political problem in his in tray early on in this premiership that he is going to have to deal with. premiership that he is going to have to deal with-— to deal with. thanks to ben for that. lucy moreton is a representative of the isu, the union for border and immigration officials which rep ents some of the workers at that facility. she told me earlier what the conditions are like for the work force at the minute.
3:10 pm
it has just been getting worse and worse over the last three or four weeks. the site is getting more and more overcrowded. because of the technical difficulties of getting things clean. things are getting more and more dirty and the migrants are getting more and more frustrated. and with that frustration comes greater risk of violence and more sporadic outbursts of violence that the staff then have to go in and deal with. they are facing daily things like sit down protest, slow chants, migrant shouting, give us ourfreedom. it is just very wearing and following the attacks on sunday it is also very frightening because now staff don't know if that is going to set a precedent, there will be a copycat. there is a lot of press and a lot of people around the gates right now. just a really threatening environment. just to reiterate, this is a processing centre so people aren't supposed to be staying there, they are supposed to stay a matter
3:11 pm
of hours but as soon as you have a of people in that place then you have problems with things like cleanliness and people coming in and that frustration that you have just detailed. what would you like to see happen now? we need to get the occupancy of the site down to a safe level. how would you go about doing that? we have got to move them somewhere else. if it has got to be hotels, as much as that might not be a popular political opinion we have got to move people out and get them into some other accommodation elsewhere, they can't stay here. sorry, go on. that is the immediate crisis that needs resolution and there have been comments about the problem of supply of available space for people to move on to, obviously. let's say that is sorted say in the next coming weeks. longer term, how do we avoid getting into a situation like this in the first place? we really need a strategic response to it. what has been going on all the way through the two plus years of this
3:12 pm
crisis is real consideration about what do we do with these people when they are here? all of the focus has been on stopping them here or farming them off somewhere else when they get here. no one has really engaged with, this is 40,000 people now, a predicted 60,000 by the end of the year. where do we house them? how do we make that decision quickly? how do we get them through an appeal system quickly? if they don't qualify for protection how do we remove them quickly? what does that need? does that need more staff, more people actually eyes on and actually going through the claims? the decisions are made by human beings are not computers so yes, it needs people to make those decisions. but it also needs sufficient resources in the courts. there are two layers of appeals
3:13 pm
within the court system after that initial decision. so it is notjust a home office, it's the ministry ofjustice as well and we need to be together all the way through so we can grant protection to those who qualify, set them on to their new lives, get them settled. but also identify those who do not qualify and remove them quickly. at the moment it takes five to eight years to complete that process. it is worth paying that money for five to eight years here. if it only took a few months it wouldn't be worth paying for and it would break that business module that brings people through in the first place. that interesting. i think five to eight years will stand out. what would you say to people who are frustrated and think that the system is broken, it isn't controlled and they are frustrated with the government they can't get
3:14 pm
a grip on it? they certainly did not take back control of our borders, that frustration is understandable. inevitably, in any asylum system there are individuals who claim asylum who don't qualify for it. there are individuals who are wrongly granted asylum in error, there are individuals who are refused in error. that is why we have these safeguards. that is already important but it needs to happen much, much quicker. one final point. the problems we are seeing right now with that processing centre and too many people in there. were your members and workers there predicting this was it completely a surprise? it certainly has been predicted since we went back to having people to stay days at a time. all through the summer, we were managing, people were staying maybe one or two days, it wasn't too bad. then it started to get out of control. we then had a movement hold very briefly because it was thought that we had noravirus on site.
3:15 pm
we didn't actually. there was a movement hold and there was no upstream accommodation and that was that the numbers started to rise and staff on the ground was saying, this is unsustainable. we can't do this for much longer. is that your understanding that that message that it was unsustainable was relayed all the way of the chain of command to the home secretary or do you not know that? it was relate to the permanent secretaries because we were involved secretaries because we were involved in that. i assume it moved from the permanent secretary at least to the emigration minister i don't have that evidence. thank you very much for your time. our correspondence is there at the processing centre. we will come onto events that have been happening there behind you at the moment. the first, can we deal with this breaking news that has happened in the last hour or so about the incident happened at a different
3:16 pm
centre can you talk it through that. the incident in dover is linked to events at manston because on sunday there was a fire bomb attack at a reception centre in dover where migrants are brought once they are picked up in the channel. just after 11 o'clock on sunday morning, a man drove up to the centre and he threw two or three devices act and into the centre. they have been described as fire with fireworks attached. two members of staff inside the reception centre were injured. the investigation into what happened on sunday was being led by kent police but we have just learned sunday was being led by kent police but we havejust learned now sunday was being led by kent police but we have just learned now that counterterrorism police have taken over this investigation. looking into what possibly could be behind it. now we know that after the attack, the suspect then drove his vehicle to a nearby petrol station and then took his own life. he has
3:17 pm
been named by the police as andrew leak. he was 66 years old and from high wycombe. officers have been searching a property linked to the suspect in high wycombe. they said they found a number of items of interest. they do not believe that he was acting alongside anyone else. i think it is worth taking you through a quote that we have had from counterterrorism police that they have released and the last few minutes. they say, we understand when counterterrorism policing come might get involved that can be worrying for some people but i would like to suggest that there is nothing to suggest any ongoing wider threat at this time. it goes on to say, what is clear is that this despicable event was targeted and likely to be driven by some sort of hate filled grievance. this would not necessarily reach the threshold of terrorism. at the moment the incident has not been declared a terrorism incident but this is being kept under review as the
3:18 pm
investigation continues. kent is now handed over the investigation to counterterrorism police. they are not certain this is what they were described as a terrorist attack but they are now looking into it with they are now looking into it with the possibility of that being the case. the link here to manston is because of this incident in dover on sunday, some 700 migrants had to be moved for their own safety from dover here to manston and that further exacerbated the overcrowding issue here. �* , .., further exacerbated the overcrowding issue here. �*, ., ., ., issue here. let's come onto that then. issue here. let's come onto that them thank _ issue here. let's come onto that then. thank you _ issue here. let's come onto that then. thank you very _ issue here. let's come onto that then. thank you very much - issue here. let's come onto that then. thank you very much for l then. thank you very much for talking over those details from kent police a little earlier. when we are looking at manston it is being described as wretched in the official report of the watchdog now. what has been happening there this morning? we what has been happening there this mornin: ? ~ ~' ., what has been happening there this mornin: ? ~ ~ ., ., what has been happening there this morninu? ~ ~ ., ., morning? we know that last night, some of the _ morning? we know that last night, some of the migrants _ morning? we know that last night, some of the migrants are - morning? we know that last night, some of the migrants are moved . morning? we know that last night, | some of the migrants are moved off the site. the home office have refused to say how many. today, during the day we have seen the number of coaches arrive, presumably to then take more of the migrants away from the site toward hotel
3:19 pm
accommodation. what we have been our city inside the centre today. it appears that life is continuing as normal or as normal as can be possible in a site that is hugely overcrowded. we know at the weekend there were around 4000 people here. the site is designed for around 1600. people were only supposed to send around 2a hours there, being processed, having their details taken, making their asylum claim before being taken out. we know that some people here have been on the site for around a month. outside, we have seen home office staff going around the perimeter fencing have seen home office staff going around the perimeterfencing making sure the site is absolutely secure. a lot is happening here and ongoing questions about how the government had been handling this. we heard from the immigration minister, robertjenrick that the reason there is so much overcrowding is because the government didn't have the infrastructure and wasn't planning
3:20 pm
to 40,000 people, 40,000 people to come across the channel by boat. we have seen migrants being loaded onto boats in the past —— coaches in the past few minutes. but the home office are predicting possibly at the 60,000 people might make the channel crossing by boat this year. so a real question about how much preparation the government put in place for a situation like this. the home secretary, didn't block the use of further hotels that overcrowding here but the local mps the roger gale has told the bbc that he is not convinced by that explanation. so there is real pressure for the government to explain what happened and what they're going to do about it. ., ~ and what they're going to do about it. . ~ , ., , . and what they're going to do about former health secretary matt hancock has lost the conservative party whip. the mp for west suffolk has confirmed that he will be taking part in the tv programme "i'm a celebrity get me out of here".
3:21 pm
mr hancock was the health secretary for much of the pandemic but resigned injune last year when it emerged that he broke his own social distancing guidelines by kissing a colleague. harry cole is the sun's political editor, he broke the story. he says he is doing it for charity. he says he is doing it to raise awareness for his campaign for dyslexia, but you do not do this without realising it is going to be controversial. when nadine dorries in 2013 did something similar, catching the party off guard, flying out to australia without telling anyone, she did lose the whip, so the precedent was there. that said, mr hancock's team put out a long statement in the last couple of minutes, last half hour or so, saying that actually he had already spoken to the whips, he was aware of this and thinks it is a good thing. he thinks that politics is quite stable now with the new prime minister, rishi sunak, so off he went. it has been noted however that he did miss out on a job
3:22 pm
in the reshuffle last week and he was running to be chairman of the powerful house of commons treasury committee and he has now obviously pulled out of that race and sits as an independent. let's speak to suzie crozier from the campaign group covid—19 bereaved families forjustice uk, herfather howard passed away from covid in march 2020. thank you very much for taking time and coming on the programme. i wanted to ask on the first of all just your reaction when you heard that matt hancock will be appearing on i'm a celebrity get me out of here. i on i'm a celebrity get me out of here. . . , .,. on i'm a celebrity get me out of here. . . , .. ., here. i am angry. the fact that ears, here. i am angry. the fact that years. is _ here. i am angry. the fact that years, is well-known - here. i am angry. the fact that years, is well-known as - here. i am angry. the fact that years, is well-known as years | years, is well—known as years is because of his response to the worst public health crisis in 100 years. that's why i know him. i hadn't heard of them before covid test. he is cashing in on that, parading as a celebrity, off to australia for some
3:23 pm
self—aggrandizement instead of standing in front of the inquiry where there is evidence of whatsapp messages and e—mails and answering questions as to what went wrong in the response to covid. i think it is absolutely disgusting and i think itv should be ashamed of themselves as well. he itv should be ashamed of themselves as well. , ._ ,., ., as well. he is saying some of the mone is as well. he is saying some of the money is going — as well. he is saying some of the money is going to _ as well. he is saying some of the money is going to go _ as well. he is saying some of the money is going to go to - as well. he is saying some of the money is going to go to charity i as well. he is saying some of the l money is going to go to charity and this will be raising awareness for issues that he believed in and try and present a different image of politics and politicians. what you make of those arguments? bearing in mind that whilst — make of those arguments? bearing in mind that whilst he _ make of those arguments? bearing in mind that whilst he is _ make of those arguments? bearing in mind that whilst he is in _ make of those arguments? bearing in mind that whilst he is in the - mind that whilst he is in the jungle he is not actually serving his constituency that he is still being paid as an mp, which i think if he lasts the entire time he will get £5,000 and his mps salary, it doesn't actually ring very true that it smells like hypocrisy to me. him talking about raising awareness but he is still getting a job —— paid for a job is not doing. those arguments don't wash. let's talk

3:25 pm
thing and grieving in the worst possible circumstances. it is insulting and it is another kick in the teeth to bereaved families. and i haven't even talked about people who are suffering from long covid. we are just in who are suffering from long covid. we arejust in a —— in a relevant to them. they want is to disappear and they don't think about the impact of their actions to us. we haven't heard about matt hancock yet if you could speak to us about his decisions, what would you say to him right now? don't go on. you have got a job to do and stir constituency to serve an inquiry to answer questions to you shouldn't go on a programme is going to make a joke out of you. thank you for coming on the programme and talking to us. thank you. oil giants bp have reported a massive profit between the months ofjuly and september this year.
3:26 pm
they've made $8.2 billion dollars, that's £7.1 billion for the period. that's more than double the profit over the same three months last year. a windfall tax introduced by rishi sunak when he was chancellor means the company is expecting to pay almost £700 million on its profits this year. earlier i spoke to our business newsroom and caroline davies, she told me these results did not come as a surprise. we also heard last week from shell talking about their very large profits. this is something that is happening across the board of course with oil and gas production companies. that is partly related to demand, the fact that after the lockdown finished with the pandemic, there was a resurgence in demand for more energy. but it was also of course to do with supply and the fact that the russian invasion of ukraine has led to difficulties getting enough energy too. that is where some of these issues are coming from. those are not at the moment about to be resolved.
3:27 pm
these prices are quite high, this is not the first time heard these quarterly levels of profit. we had that previously bp had a higher profits in the second quarter. while all of these companies are announcing increase profits, there is also an increase in the discussions from politicians notjust in the uk but around the world talking about the responsibilities of oil companies are. that is because the politicians are looking at their populations who are struggling with the cost of living crisis and energy costs and thinking, what can we do? what can we say? so there is increase political pressure at the moment on politicians to see what they might do and whether they might do something like extending the windfall tax. i wonder whether we've heard anything from bp because clearly it is not a comfortable position
3:28 pm
for companies like bp to be in to be making such profits, in part at least on the back of putin invading ukraine. i think at the moment things like the windfall tax and how much they're paying towards it is less of a big financial headache for companies like bp because of course they are making such big profits. this is an impact but it's not on such a dramatic scale. it's more of the reputational problem as it is happening of how they are seen as by the public. that is important to bp as well but of course how politicians see them. in terms of bp have talked about it is interesting to see that they have said they're going to be when four taxes this year. as we say, this is about £700 million through the course of the year and that is from the end of may when the windfall tax was first introduced in the uk and to the end of this year shell, we know that last week they were not expecting to be paying any windfall tax and that's because there was a clause introduced by rishi sunak when he was chancellor into this
3:29 pm
windfall tax policy which allows companies to offset their investments. because shell had invested a north sea oil they are able to offset that as well and therefore not pay that level of there has been criticism about that from the labour party, but there has also been discussion even internally as well with conservatives, even from president biden who was talking about the fact that oil companies need to do more and have that responsibility too. really, a pressure building and ramping up at the moment. the american rapper, take—off has been shot dead at a bowling alley in texas. the other members of his group were at the scene of the fatal shooting. tributes have poured in for the grammy nominated star he was 28 years old. we will bring you more details on this as we get them later on in the programme.
3:30 pm
the head of the national grid has warned that uk homes and businesses could face energy blackouts this winter. john pettigrew says the uk does have sufficient energy supplies — but short outages are a possibility. the company has announced a £50 million fund today to support those most in need to pay their energy bills for the next two winters. our business editor simonjack reports. national grid owns the company whose primaryjob is keeping the lights and heating on, by ensuring there's sufficient energy supply to meet demand, even in the depths of winter. while the company's boss insists that remains the most likely outcome in the next few months, the chief executive, john pettigrew, said that an interruption of normal seasonal imports from europe could see mothballed coal—fired power stations fired up again, consumers and businesses paid to cut demand at peak times, and short blackouts as a last resort. there could be circumstances in which people are asked to reduce their demand.
3:31 pm
it will be over the peak of the day, which is between sort of four and 7pm. it's not going to be the whole country, but that is one of the scenarios that we've looked at. rolling switch—offs across the country? across the country. mr pettigrew also said that for the uk to hit government targets of a 400% increase in offshore wind power by 2030, big changes in planning and regulation would be required to speedily build the hundreds of miles of new cables and overhead pylons needed onshore, to get the energy from off the east coast of the uk, where most of it will be produced, to the south of england, where most of it is used. to give you a sense of it, over the next eight years, onshore, we will need to build about seven times as much infrastructure in the next seven or eight years than we built in the last 32. but if we're going to achieve these really ambitious targets, then we are going to need changes to regulation in the uk, to the planning process, but also we need to work with local communities. the good news is that so far the winter has been extremely mild. the bad news is that electricity can't yet be effectively stored and saved for periods of extreme
3:32 pm
cold, which consumers — and companies like national grid — will be hoping can be avoided. simon jack, bbc news. let's get the weather. it remains pretty blustery out there through the rest of the afternoon, especially across southern parts of england and wales, but also near these downpours, hail and some thunder in those heavier showers, perhaps fewest across northern england, eastern scotland, fewer for northern ireland compared with yesterday, although temperatures are nearer to normal today. so you'll notice the difference if you're out and about despite some sunshine. those showers continue to come and go through this evening, eventually easing away for many overnight as we see the winds fall lighter as well. it could be a little bit of mist and fog around, more likely some ground frost across parts of scotland, initially across northern ireland. but already by morning, the next band of rain is with us across the western side of northern ireland, the next deep area of low pressure set to bring all a windy day. gusts of wind 50 or 60
3:33 pm
miles an hour, quite widely, a0 to 50 miles an hour, even inland and heavy rain to go with. it may take until after dark, though, to reach the south east.
3:34 pm
hello this is bbc news. the headlines: conditions at a migrant processing centre in kent are described as �*wretched' — as a watchdog calls on the government to �*get a grip' of the situation. it is a very challenging situation with no simple solutions. we are going to do everything we can to restore order and security to our borders. more debate about windfall tax, after the oil giant bp reports global profits of more than £7 billion in the three months to september. the former health secretary matt hancock has been suspended as a conservative mp, after revealing he's to appear on
3:35 pm
i'm a celebrity get me out of here. the government has revealed details of a previously secret programme to help defend ukraine against russian cyber attacks. the us rapper take—off, from the group migos, has been shot dead in texas at the age of 28. he was attacked at a bowling alley in houston. sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre. good afternoon. england have kept their t20 cricket world cup hopes alive after a 20—run win over new zealand in brisbane. england knew defeat would all—but eliminate them from the competition. they batted first and saw jos buttler top score with 73 off 47 balls, as they made 179—6. chasing 180 to win new zealand were on 65—2 when moeen ali dropped a simple catch off glenn phillips — who went on to make 62,
3:36 pm
but he was eventually caught in the 18th over off the bowling of sam curren. new zealand falling short, as they made 159—6. england move back in to the top 2. i thought we put in a very good performance, any time you take on new zealand you know you are up for a tough challenge, but i am very proud of the guys tonight and to play with freedom, express ourselves and show off our talents, i was really proud of the character we showed. the women's rugby league world cup is under way in leeds. england are taking on brazil at headingly in front of a crowd of around 15,000 fans courtney winfield hill scored two tries in the first half , the first might be a very early contender for try of the tournament. tara stanley also crossed the line twice as the hosts ran in 7 tries and at the break the score was 31t nil. the second half is about to begin .
3:37 pm

3:41 pm
deep expertise in this field since 2014, they have faced is considerable number of attacks. early our security correspondent told us a bit more about the support the uk has been giving. what it involved is british equities are sometimes through the private sector, giving forensic help to the ukrainians, to investigate, to detect some of the onslaught of cyber attacks. some of those tax were directed at taking down infrastructure that ukraine depended on, in other cases it was being used to spy, to gather intelligence, even potentially about individuals the russians might want to have targeted, so by providing this kind of help, ukraine has been able to defend against those cyber attacks. a lot of people thought all the ukrainian systems would be taken off—line, the power grid would be switched off, through cyber war and their systems would be taken down, now they have been actually a lot of attacks but on the whole that's most worrying of scenarios hasn't happened, that is partly because the
3:42 pm
ukrainians, as in the military sphere, i've been able to resist better than most expect, but also because of some help from allies, including the uk here, providing this £6 million programme which we havejust this £6 million programme which we have just lined this £6 million programme which we havejust lined up now, because previously it was considered an operational security not to reveal the help, whereas now they're making it public. the help, whereas now they're making it ublic. , it public. interesting in the timint , it public. interesting in the timing. a _ it public. interesting in the timing, a significant - it public. interesting in the timing, a significant shift l it public. interesting in the| timing, a significant shift in modern conflict, this helped rutherford right at the beginning of the conflict, it was absolute part of the modern warfare. absolutely. i've no doubt _ of the modern warfare. absolutely. i've no doubt have _ of the modern warfare. absolutely. i've no doubt have a _ of the modern warfare. absolutely. i've no doubt have a us _ of the modern warfare. absolutely. i've no doubt have a us military - of the modern warfare. absolutely. | i've no doubt have a us military was sent into ukraine before the conflict to look for russians online, to partner with ukrainians to hunt down russians on the ukrainian networks and to try to get them out. you can see that there is a very different type of cyber warfare going on, it's notjust the spectacular cyber attacks, but working with country to look for those signs of penetration. lets leave ukraine _ those signs of penetration. lets leave ukraine for _ those signs of penetration. lets leave ukraine for a _ those signs of penetration. lets leave ukraine for a second, let's come back to the uk, there has been an outline of what is happening here

prepared to deal with them if they do get through and to work out how to stop them. the american rapper takeoff has been shot dead at a bowling alley in texas. he was a member of the rap—trio migos, alongside quavo and offset — both of whom were at the scene of the fatal shooting. what do we know about what happened? the shooting took place at about 2:30am local time on a balcony outside a bowling alley, the police have said that there was about lto outside a bowling alley, the police have said that there was about a0 or 50 guests that had been at a private party when someone opened fire, not sure who this was. when they arrived, officers said they found a large crowd and a man in his 20s with a gunshot wound in the head or the neck. he was pronounced dead at the neck. he was pronounced dead at the scene. a representative for the musician has confirmed that to the

for the contacts. we will be bringing you more details as we get them. suella braverman has faced criticism over the situation at the former raf base. earlierthe over the situation at the former raf base. earlier the labour mp dame diana johnson, who is chair of the home affairs committee, a group of mps who scrutinise the work of the home office, and associated patients, told us that they have been looking at these issues, for two years now. we been looking at these issues, for two years now-— been looking at these issues, for two earsnow. ~ , ., . ., two years now. we produced a report in the summer— two years now. we produced a report in the summer and _ two years now. we produced a report in the summer and one _ two years now. we produced a report in the summer and one of _ two years now. we produced a report in the summer and one of the - two years now. we produced a report in the summer and one of the things| in the summer and one of the things we said in our report was that the home office were expecting the numbers this year to increase on the
3:48 pm
numbers this year to increase on the numbers from last year, so that was the planning expectation that we understood the home office were engaging in. so as the inspectorfor borders and immigration said, you plan for the worst and you hope for the best. well, that is where i am still really not sure what exactly has gone wrong, that we ended up with the situation at manston. my understanding was that the home office were planning on these numbers being at least 40,000 this year and we numbers being at least 40,000 this yearand we are numbers being at least 40,000 this year and we are around that figure now. so something doesn't quite tally at the moment.— now. so something doesn't quite tally at the moment. what is your best guess _ tally at the moment. what is your best guess as _ tally at the moment. what is your best guess as to _ tally at the moment. what is your best guess as to what _ tally at the moment. what is your best guess as to what has - tally at the moment. what is your best guess as to what has gone i best guess as to what has gone wrong, what doesn't tally, serving as accommodation booked? clearly there is an issue _ as accommodation booked? clearly there is an issue about _ there is an issue about accommodation and about what was booked when, there were questions yesterday as to the home secretary accommodation are being booked, i asked her a very specific question about what options were put forward to book accommodation and how many of those options did she take up and approve and she didn't really answer
3:49 pm
me specifically on that question. i am told it takes about two months for hotel accommodation normally to be booked. so the hotel accommodation that has been coming on stream has probably been booked from when priti patel was home secretary and it was also booked when grant shapps was home secretary for a short period. but it is a bit unclear as exactly what suella braverman did when she was alerted to the need to get more accommodation. if to the need to get more accommodation.- to the need to get more accommodation. , ., ., , accommodation. if it turns out to be she was alerted _ accommodation. if it turns out to be she was alerted and _ accommodation. if it turns out to be she was alerted and didn't _ accommodation. if it turns out to be she was alerted and didn't act, - accommodation. if it turns out to be she was alerted and didn't act, what are the consequences?— are the consequences? clearly that is very serious _ are the consequences? clearly that is very serious and _ are the consequences? clearly that is very serious and we _ are the consequences? clearly that is very serious and we know - are the consequences? clearly that is very serious and we know there i is very serious and we know there are issues around the legality of what has been going on at manston and holding people forfar longer than the 2a hours that people are supposed to be therefore. it's not clear yet, there is still clarification that needs to be given by the home office.— clarification that needs to be given by the home office. let's touch on lanatuae by the home office. let's touch on language which — by the home office. let's touch on language which has _ by the home office. let's touch on language which has been - by the home office. let's touch on language which has been criticised| language which has been criticised by some labour mps. she called it an invasion on the south coast. what do
3:50 pm
you make a babbling which? i invasion on the south coast. what do you make a babbling which?- you make a babbling which? i think it's unfortunate _ you make a babbling which? i think it's unfortunate that _ you make a babbling which? i think it's unfortunate that the _ you make a babbling which? i think it's unfortunate that the home - it's unfortunate that the home secretary chose to use that language. when you look at this in the context of what is happening with the number of refugees around the world, the uk takes a small number of refugees and asylum seekers. we are not at the top of the list in terms of people coming to the uk to claim asylum. i really take issue with the fact she used that word, it's not an invasion. the government _ that word, it's not an invasion. the government may say the recent increase in number is what is so different and they are trying to raise awareness that the numbers have really rapidly increased? the number has _ have really rapidly increased? tue: number has been have really rapidly increased? tte: number has been increasing have really rapidly increased? "tt2 number has been increasing but have really rapidly increased? tt2 number has been increasing but the home office were projecting this, we as a home affairs select committee is saying if you are going to deal with this, with these rising numbers, there is no one single thing you can do to tackle it. it's not that the rwanda policy will stop this, you need to have the hard work
3:51 pm
done with the french, the belgian authorities, you need to look at piloting asylum claims being made overin piloting asylum claims being made over in france before people travel to the uk. there are various things you need to do, including looking at the evidence about why people are are getting in the small boats and making policy evidence based and fit for purpose and at the moment, we are concerned that the policy—making in the home office is not based on evidence, not looking at cost effectiveness but is using things like the rwanda policy as a catchall, when clearly it hasn't. me catchall, when clearly it hasn't. we can to catchall, when clearly it hasn't. we can go live — catchall, when clearly it hasn't. we can go live down to that processing centre and we can see pictures in a moment of part of what seems to be the congestion there. we know this is a processing centre where people are supposed to be going to be
3:52 pm
processed. they are only intended to stay there for a few hours a day perhaps. however, we know it's built for 1600 people, nearly 4000 there at the moment and that is making conditions very difficult. we have had from union representatives representing the workers there, saying it is holding up things like cleaning which is making the situation even worse because it is not to be designed to have that many people, let alone staying there for longer than expected and what we have seen it so far, as you can see, these live pictures, these approaches waiting to potentially take people away, we haven't had that confirmed but that certainly has been what many experts and many politicians this morning have been urging urgent action to get people out of that process, onto accommodation that is far more safe and suitable for them and then also allows the work of that processing
3:53 pm
centre to continue more smoothly and operate in the way it should. we are waiting to hear more details on how successful officials there have been in trying to ease that backlog and trying to move the world on from that centre. when we do get more details on that we will bring them to you. people in israel are voting for the 5th time in less than four years, in a general election that's again expected to be an extremely tight race. the country has been locked in an unprecedented period of political stalemate since 2019, when its longest—serving leader benjamin netanyahu was charged with bribery, fraud and breach of trust — which he denies. he's now hoping to stage a comeback with the help of parties from the far right. our middle east correspondent yolande knell sent this report. everyone makes a last—minute ditch for their candidate as israelis head to the polls again.
3:54 pm
this election day seems familiar, 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. since the long—time leader benjamin netanyahu was charged with corruption, which he denies, the country has been deeply split. current pm yair lapid has campaigned on official photo ops. last year, he drew together an ideologically diverse coalition which pushed netanyahu from office. but this is the story of this election, the rise in popularity of the far right. where there is a flashpoint, jewish supremacist itamar ben—gvir is always there. for years, he was on the political fringes. now he is being talked about
3:55 pm
as a potential cabinet minister. an alliance with veteran deal—maker benjamin netanyahu, here waking up an unsuspecting 18—year—old to tell him to cast his ballot, could see him return to power. but for voters, no one has cornered the market. i'm planning on voting for a zionist religious party which is going to support my beliefs on security and religion. hopefully, we will have a good result. etty wants lapid to stay. who knows, maybe he will be better, but you have to give him a chance because netanyahu, 12 years, he didn't do nothing. who do you think has got the answers? i'm not sure, but i hope| maybe netanyahu, or... you think netanyahu is coming back? yeah. so what does a seasoned election watcher have to say? the main thing to look out
3:56 pm
for on election night will be which parties manage to cross the threshold and if some of the parties on the anti—netanyahu side fail to cross the threshold, that means his chances have been significantly boosted. and with polls predicting another close finish, israelis know there's the possibility of another deadlock and having to choose all over again. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. the ball that diego maradona used to score his �*hand of god�* goal against england at the 1986 world cup is soon going to be sold at auction — and it�*s thought it could fetch £3 million. our correspondent nesta mcgregor has been to wembley, where it�*s on display before it goes under the hammer. the centre of attention on display at wembley, the home of english football, 36 years after causing england�*s players and fans so much heartache. mexico city, 1986.
3:57 pm
world cup quarterfinal, england versus argentina. 0—0, until diego maradona decided to take matters into his own hands, punching the ball beyond the onrushing peter shilton. the ball seen crossing the line has been in the cupboard of the tunisian referee, until now. do you admit it was a mistake and is there any guilt about now profiting from that decision? translation: i don't feel any guilt at this point. _ the infamous hand of god was part of the game. in football, there is no guilt whatsoever if you think you made the right decision. in contrast, maradona�*s second goal was one of the best the world has ever seen. his team won the game 2—1 and the striker eventually went on to lift the trophy. commentator: oh, you have to say that's magnificent! england�*s players were left to lift each other�*s spirits. people have said they can�*t get close or touch it. could you? well, i didn't on the day and i'm
3:58 pm
not going to try now. its iconic. it's amazing seeing it. it's in the memory bank. good memories and bad memories. earlier this year, the shirt worn by diego maradona in that match sold at auction for more than £7 million. the ball is expected to fetch upwards of 2.5 million. there�*s likely to be no shortage of bidders eager to own a piece of the hand of god, but they�*ll have to put their own hands deep in their pockets. nesta mcgregor, bbc news. now it�*s time for a look at the weather. it remains pretty blustery out there through the rest of the afternoon, especially across southern parts of england and wales, but also near these downpours, hail and some thunder in those heavier showers, perhaps fewest across northern england, eastern scotland, fewer for northern ireland compared with yesterday, although temperatures are nearer
3:59 pm
to normal today. so you�*ll notice the difference if you�*re out and about despite some sunshine. those showers continue to come and go through this evening, eventually easing away for many overnight as we see the winds fall lighter as well. it could be a little bit of mist and fog around, more likely some ground frost across parts of scotland, initially across northern ireland. but already by morning, the next band of rain is with us across the western side of northern ireland, the next deep area of low pressure set to bring all a windy day. gusts of wind 50 or 60 miles an hour, quite widely, a0 to 50 miles an hour, even inland and heavy rain to go with. it may take until after dark, though, to reach the south east.

4:02 pm
hello and welcome to the programme. a new report into pressures at the manston migrant processing centre in kent has raised questions about whether conditions worsened there after suella braverman first became home secretary, in september. the chief inspector of prisons says that in july the facility was working "reasonably well", despite a number of risks — but that since then it�*s deteriorated significantly, with conditions now described as "wretched". it comes as the immigration minister told the bbc that politicians should be careful with language — after suella bravermen claimed southern england was facing an invasion of migrants. our correspondent robin brant has this report. reporters: ms braverman! flying the flag in red, white and blue, the home secretary still has questions to answer. did you ignore legal advice, ms braverman? a polite smile was all she offered on her way into cabinet this morning. kids: freedom! on the overcrowding crisis at manston migrant processing centre, the question
4:03 pm
is what she did, didn�*t do, and plans to do going forward. yesterday, she likened it to a "military attack", but that�*s language her own colleague refused to repeat. the british people deserve to know which party is serious about stopping the invasion on our southern coast. well, i think it's a phrase that expresses very clearly the concern that millions of people feel across the country. of course, as a minister in my position, you have to choose your words carefully, but i think that the scale of the challenge is very significant. a new report describes conditions inside these marquees as "wretched". migrants off boats are supposed to be processed in hours at manston, in kent. instead, there�*s a huge backlog. they're sleeping, by. and large, on the floor. there are sort of rubber mats down i and then, on top of the rubber mats, they're putting blankets to turn them into sort of—
4:04 pm
rudimentary mattresses. but it's cramped conditions. there are not proper beds. people are sleeping on benches in some of the marquees. - and generally, it's very - uncomfortable, and particularly in the tent that's given over to families. - working out what caused this, who caused it, remains challenging. the local conservative mp is still blaming the conservative home secretary. five weeks ago, quite clearly, the policy changed. the home secretary — i still believe, although she has said otherwise — decided not to commission more accommodation for people to be moved on into, and we then got the most horrible backlog which we�*ve got now. in dover, on the front line, it�*s a daily worry for some locals, as the numbers coming over on small boats edges close to a record 40,000 this year. a lot of people have just had enough. i feel sorry for the people that have been exploited but, hey,
4:05 pm
you know, it's costing about £5 million a day in hotel rooms, so something needs to be done. to me, it is getting out of hand. they say they�*re coming in because they�*re refugees, but a lot of them are not. they come from a safe country. now, on my understanding, if you come from a safe country, you�*re not... you�*re a migrant. robin brant, bbc news. let�*s get some of the political reaction to this. we can speak to our correspondent in westminster. home secretary under pressure from a couple of fronts. firstly that the language to use their but also what decisions she made and when. right. on the language there has been clear distancing from other members of the government after she talked about it as an invasion of england south coast. the immigration minister saying that it is not the
4:06 pm
sort of language that he would choose to use. it was noticed today that the prime minister�*s official spokesperson that during cabinet the prime minister had made it clear that this would always be a compassionate, welcoming country. so definitely, an attempt today made by the government to distance itself from what suella braverman has said. but on policy, they are all in the same situation, trying to work out a way of alleviating the pressure in manston and dealing with the much more fundamental and structural problem of trying to deal with that backlog of asylum claims. and of course stop boats coming from across the channel in the first place. in cabinet today, suella braverman told fellow members of the government that large numbers of people were now being moved from manston, the centre, the former raf base in kent to the western oil immigration processing centre the one that was firebombed on sunday. that has now reopened and according to the home secretary that is receiving a lot of
4:07 pm
people from manston. her hope is clearly that it will relieve some pressure at that site. this clearly that it will relieve some pressure at that site.— pressure at that site. this is a short-term — pressure at that site. this is a short-term crisis _ pressure at that site. this is a short-term crisis that - pressure at that site. this is a short-term crisis that the - short—term crisis that the government is trying to alleviate right now, but of course the longer term, the big backlog in numbers of claimants, there is criticism at the size of that backlog that that has been dealt with and of course conservatives are been in power for a long time. conservatives are been in power for a long time-— a long time. that is exactly right. the conservatives _ a long time. that is exactly right. the conservatives have _ a long time. that is exactly right. the conservatives have been - a long time. that is exactly right. the conservatives have been in i a long time. that is exactly right. - the conservatives have been in power for 12 years and we have ministers today accepting the obvious saying that this is a system in crisis. and they said that more radical options now needed to deal with it but it is unclear what those options might be. they clearly needs to be some sort of fresh arrangement and deal with the french government to try and deter people from crossing the channel in such large numbers. there needs to be faster processing of asylum claims which is why we see
4:08 pm
this backlog in centres and hotels throughout the country. it takes an average i think about 11t months to process an asylum application in the uk and that is far longer than any other european countries. there is a staffing issue, a process question and a fundamental issue on how to stop people crossing the channel, as i said. these all feel right now fairly insoluble but there is a lot of pressure on the government for the sort of people that we just heard in nappies from people who live locally, from opposition parties to refugee charities, all of whom say that the government�*s current policy across the board when it comes to this migration question is not working. i think the rishi sunak, fresh and number ten this is an immediate priority for him to try and tackle. . .. an immediate priority for him to try and tackle. ., ~ , ., an immediate priority for him to try and tackle. . ~' , ., , . an immediate priority for him to try and tackle. ., ~ , ., , . ., and tackle. thank you very much for that for bringing _ and tackle. thank you very much for that for bringing us _ and tackle. thank you very much for that for bringing us the _ and tackle. thank you very much for that for bringing us the political - that for bringing us the political challenges in the political background there. we are going to go down the situation on the ground. we
4:09 pm
know that we have been talking about these two separate centres. one of which was firebombed over the weekend. focusing on that forjust a second because counterterror police are now leading an investigation into that firebombing of the immigration processing centre in dover, which detectives suspect was sparked by a quote, some sort of hate fuelled grievance. police suspect the man who carried out this attack was 66—year—old andrew leak from high wycombe in buckinghamshire. our reporter has been outside the processing centre in kent and following the developments at both sites. fin developments at both sites. on sunday there was a fire bomb developments at both sites. q�*t sunday there was a fire bomb attack in a reception centre in dover where migrants are brought once they are picked up in the channel. just after 11 o�*clock on sunday morning, a man drove up to the centre and he threw two or three devices act and into
4:10 pm
the centre. they have been described as fire bombs with fireworks attacked. two members of staff inside the reception centre were injured. the investigation into what happened on sunday was being led by kent police but we have just learned now that counterterrorism police have taken over this investigation, looking into what possibly could be behind it. now we know that after the attack, the suspect then drove his vehicle to a nearby petrol station and then took his own life. now he has been named by the police as andrew leak. he was 66 years old and from high wycombe. now, officers have been searching a property linked to the suspect in high wycombe, they said they had found a number of items of interest, they do not believe though that he was acting alongside anyone else. i think it is worth just taking you through a point that we have had from counterterrorism police that they have released in the past few
4:11 pm
minutes. they said that they understand that when counterterrorism policing gets involved in can be worrying for some people but i would like to reassure people but i would like to reassure people there is nothing to suggest any ongoing threat at this moment either in denver or in high wycombe. what is clear is that this despicable offence was targeted and likely to be driven by some sort of hate fuelled grievance. this may not necessarily meet the threshold of terrorism. at the moment this incident has not been declared a terrorist incident but this is being kept under review the continues. kent and an is as fffitigfhgt’ " 2... he that of 2... he tion of 57777700 he tion of 7 7 7700 migrantsfi on of from to

4:14 pm
situation like this. the home secretary didn�*t block the use of further hotels to try and reduce overcrowding here but local mp, sir roger gale has told the bbc that he is not convinced by that explanation. so real pressure on the government to explain what happened and to explain what they are going to do about it.— and to explain what they are going to do about it. thanks to simon for that. to do about it. thanks to simon for that- you're _ to do about it. thanks to simon for that. you're watching _ to do about it. thanks to simon for that. you're watching bbc- to do about it. thanks to simon for that. you're watching bbc news. i that. you�*re watching bbc news. let�*s take a look at the headline. conditions are to processing centre in kent are described as wretched by watchdogs. counterterrorism police are now leading the investigation into an incident in dover on sunday when petrol bombs were thrown at an immigration centre. more debate about windfall taxes after the oil giant bp reports global profits of more than £7 billion in the three months to september.
4:15 pm
oil giants bp have reported a massive profit between the months ofjuly and september this year. they�*ve made $8.2 billion, that�*s £7.1 billion for the period. that�*s more than double the profit over the same three months last year. a windfall tax introduced by rishi sunak when he was chancellor means the company is expecting to pay almost 700 million pounds on its profits this year. earlier i spoke to our business newsroom and caroline davies, she told me these results did not come as a surprise. we also heard last week from shell talking about their very large profits. of course, with oil and gas production companies. that is partly related to demand, the fact that after the lockdown finished with the pandemic, there was a resurgence in demand for more energy. but it was also of course to do with supply and the fact that the russian invasion of ukraine has led to difficulties getting enough energy too. that is where some of these issues are coming from.
4:16 pm
those are not at the moment about to be resolved. these prices are quite high, this is not the first time heard these quarterly levels of profit. we know that previously bp earned a very large amount and had a higher profits in the second quarter. while all of these companies are announcing increase profits, there is also an increase in the discussions from politicians notjust in the uk but around the world talking about what the responsibilities of oil companies are. that is because the politicians are looking at their populations who are struggling with the cost of living crisis and struggling with energy costs and thinking, what can we do? what can we say? so there is increase political pressure at the moment on politicians to see what they might do and whether they might do something like extending the windfall tax. i wonder whether we�*ve heard anything from bp because clearly it is not a comfortable position for companies like bp to be in to be
4:17 pm
making such profits, in part at least on the back of putin invading ukraine. yes, i think at the moment things like the windfall tax and how much they�*re paying towards it is less of a big financial headache for companies like bp because of course they are making such big profits. this is an impact but it�*s not on such a dramatic scale. it�*s more of the reputational problem as it is happening because of course it�*s notjust how they are seen as by the public. that is important to bp as well but of course how politicians see them. in terms of bp have talked about it is interesting to see that they have said they�*re going to be when four taxes this year. as we say, this is about £700 million through the course of the year and that is from the end of may when the windfall tax was first introduced in the uk until the end of this year.
4:18 pm
shell, we know that last week they were not expecting to be paying any windfall tax and that�*s because there was a clause introduced by rishi sunak when he was chancellor into this introduced by rishi sunak windfall tax policy which allows companies to offset their investments. because shell had invested a north sea oil they are able to offset that as well and therefore not pay that level of taxation. there has been criticism about that from the labour party, but there has also been discussion even internally as well with conservatives, even from president biden who was talking about the fact that oil companies need to do more and have that responsibility too. really, a pressure building and ramping up at the moment. the treasury is warning of �*inevitable�* tax rises as the new prime minister rishi sunak, and his chancellorjeremy hunt, try to fill a �*black hole�* in public finances. the two met yesterday to discuss options for the financial statement on november the 17th and agreed that �*tough decisions�* would be needed not only on tax rises, but spending as well. let�*s speak to emma rawson, technical officer at the association of taxation technicians.

that. —— november17. former health secretary matt hancock has lost the conservative party whip. the mp for west suffolk has confirmed that he will be taking part in the tv programme "i�*m a celebrity get me out of here". mr hancock was the health secretary for much of the pandemic but resigned injune last year when it emerged that he broke his own social distancing guidelines by kissing a colleague. earlier i spoke to suzie crozier from the campaign group covid—19 bereaved families forjustice uk, herfather howard passed away from covid in march 2020, she gave me her reaction... iam angry. the fact that he is, is well—known as he is is because of his response to the worst public health crisis in 100 years. i hadn�*t heard of them before covid. he is cashing in on that, parading as a celebrity,
4:23 pm
off to australia for some self—aggrandizement instead of standing in front of the inquiry where there is evidence of whatsapp messages and e—mails and answering questions as to what went wrong in the response to covid. i think it is absolutely disgusting and i think itv should be ashamed of themselves as well. he is saying some of the money is going to go to charity and this will be raising awareness for issues that he believed in and try and present a different image of politics and politicians. what do you make of those arguments? bearing in mind that whilst he is in thejungle he is not actually serving his constituency but he is still being paid as an mp, which i think if he lasts the entire time he will get £5,000 of hi mps salary, it doesn�*t actually ring very true that it smells like hypocrisy to me. him talking about doing it for charity and raising awareness
4:24 pm
but he is still getting paid for a job is not doing. those arguments don�*t wash. let�*s talk about those times when he left those jobs, those revelations came that he was breaking those social distancing guidelines that so many people across the country stuck to and it revealed that he didn�*t. what was your reaction at the time and now even to that? again, i was angry. so, my dad died in march 2020 as you said. at the time, i could have had five people at his funeral. i didn�*t, i had two of us. i couldn�*t have people to hug. i couldn�*t have a wake. i couldn�*t have anything to celebrate dad�*s life it was just a really bleak affair. and then to learn whilst i and so many others were going through all of those things, you have got matt hancock kissing in his office, you have got borisjohnson and rishi sunak attending parties, whilst the rest of us are trying to do the right thing and grieving
4:25 pm
in the worst possible circumstances. it is insulting and it is another kick in the teeth to bereaved families. and i haven�*t even talked about people who are suffering from long covid. we are just irrelevant to them. they want us to disappear and they don�*t think about the impact of their actions to us. we haven�*t heard about matt hancock yet if you could speak to us about his decision to go i�*m a celebrity what would you say to him right now? don�*t go on. to serve, an inquiry to answer questions to you shouldn�*t go on a programme is going to make a joke out of you. the american rapper takeoff has been shot dead

4:30 pm
changeable pattern. plenty more of those showers and thunderstorms with gusty winds around. as we go through the night time, they will tend to ease away so it looks like a quiet and either call a night. temperature is low enough or perhaps a touch of frost out in rural areas. all change again tomorrow. that brief ridge of high pressure gives way to the next deep area of low pressure bringing another spell of wet weather and widely windy weather. severe gale force winds particularly around the case and know the hills. 40 to 50 mph in land. mild though. hello this is bbc news. the headlines: conditions at a migrant processing centre in kent are described as �*wretched�* — as a watchdog calls on the government to �*get a grip�* of the situation. counter—terrorism police are now leading the investigation into an incident at dover on sunday when petrol bombs were thrown

the women�*s rugby league world cup is under way in leeds. england have thrashed brazil by 72—4 in the tournament opener at headingly in front of a crowd of around 15 thousand fans. courtney winfield hill scored two tries in the first half, the first might be an early contender for try of the tournament tara stanley also crossed the line twice as the hosts ran in seven tries to lead 34 nil at the break. england have kept their t20 cricket world cup hopes alive after a 20—run win over new zealand in brisbane. england knew defeat would all—but eliminate them from the competition.
4:33 pm
they batted first and saw jos buttler top score with 73 off 47 balls, as they made 179—6. but he was eventually caught in the 18th over off the bowling of sam curren. on new zealand you know you are up for a tough challenge, but i am very proud of the guys tonight and to play with freedom, express ourselves and show off our talents, i was really proud of the character we showed. tottenham insist they�*re fully prepared to take on marseille tonight in the champions league, they�*ll be without their suspended manager antonio conte.
4:34 pm
spurs need just a point if they�*re to reach the knockout stages of the competition. conte was sent off in the closing moments of their last group match against sporting lisbon. everyone is well aware, the staff is well prepared, and we all know that we need to help each other. for me, it�*s not a difficult situation. it�*s maybe a different situation, but, you know, we know what to do. we are well aware of the situation. jurgen klopp�*s also in the spotlight — his side are 15 points behind premier league leaders arsenal, but have qualified for the knockout stages of the champions league already. they host italian league leaders napoli. in the same group, rangers are also in action against ajax at ibrox. they�*ve had a disappointing campaign in europe this year after qualifying for the competition for the first time in over a decade. there�*s chance that with defeat tonight it could be the worst group stage performance
4:35 pm
in champions league history — giovanni van bronckhorst�*s side have lost five out five so far, scoring just one goal and conceding 19. expect to win in champions league, no one can expect to win, not one team in europe goes in and says we expect to win, the level is so hard and so competitive, if you look at all of the results in europe against even the big teams, they are not assured of winning games, so why should we go on the pitch and expect us to win against ajax, we will work hard for it, we will give a good game against them and that�*s different. british number two dan evans has won at the paris masters for the first time in his career — beating brandon nakashima 6—3, 3—6, 6—4, to move through to round 2, where he�*ll face stefanos tsitsipas. he�*s joined in the last 32 by fellow brit jack draper who beat france�*s arthur rinderknech in straight sets 6—3, 6—4. the 20—year—old, ranked 45 in the world, will play american frances tiafoe next.

that�*s all the sport for now. in brazil, lorry blockades caused by drivers loyal to jair bolsonaro have been broken up — as the country waits for the president to concede defeat to luiz inacio lula da silva, who won the elections on sunday evening. roads were blocked in at least 22 different states, leading to major disruption. bolsonaro still hasn�*t publicly recognised the outcome of the presidential run—off. a government minister has said mr bolsonaro is to address the nation on tuesday. it�*s not known whether he will accept the election result. our correspondent camilla costa is here. a lot riding on this, we are waiting to hearfrom bolsanaro, but still no word yet? h0 to hear from bolsanaro, but still no word et? ., ., , ., , to hear from bolsanaro, but still no word et? ., ., , , word yet? no word yet. he has been insected word yet? no word yet. he has been inspected to — word yet? no word yet. he has been inspected to speak— word yet? no word yet. he has been inspected to speak ever _ word yet? no word yet. he has been inspected to speak ever since - word yet? no word yet. he has been | inspected to speak ever since sunday night when the election results were announced but he hasn�*t spoken yet. he has been in the presidential

palace and absolutely no word from him. his eldest son who is a senator has spoken on twitter thanking his supporters, everyone who voted for him but, again, not conceding defeat. many have been saying that the fact that he is not conceded defeat so far has been precisely animating his supporters who are mainly the people who are doing the blockades right now. let�*s mainly the people who are doing the blockades right now.— blockades right now. let's take a look at those _ blockades right now. let's take a look at those pictures _ blockades right now. let's take a look at those pictures of - blockades right now. let's take a look at those pictures of the - look at those pictures of the blockades. what is this about... what is happening and what you know is happening at these protests? lip is happening at these protests? it? until monday night, we did have at least 300 blockades in 25 states of and the as brazil and the federal district as well, that is brasilia, the capital. those have been causing disruptions all over the country, so we have had hospitals complaining that they didn�*t have oxygen have didn�*t have oxygen arriving, we have had brazil�*s main vaccine production
4:38 pm
they couldn�*t institute saying they couldn�*t produce flu vaccines because they didn�*t enough produce getting didn�*t have enough produce getting to them, we have had flights cancelled ins one of sao paulo�*s largest airport, we have had at least one death in a car accident connected to the blockade, so there is a lot of disruption. the justice of the superior electoral court has acted on it, has said that the military police should be i�*m doing those blockades and they have started to do that right now, he has also started fining the road, the highway federal police for up until $20,000 an hour if they do not act on those blockades. he has even talked about prison for the chief of the federal highway police, who has been seen as not acting and even aiding bolsanaro supporters. what makes a significant disruption from bolsanaro supporters come out on the
4:39 pm
road, seemingly rejecting the results. just not disruption in real life but online to? very much. very many of those protests have been organised by whatsapp and telegram groups, and in those groups, there is a lot of misinformation being spread, a lot of fake news, many of them are celebrating supposed fraud being proven in the elections, they talk about some kind of algorithm in the voting machines, not reverse is true, god of this has been proven whatsoever, the elections have been tested, the elections have happened normally, and none of this has happened whatsoever, but those groups are very excited by supposed fraud that bolton arrow would announce. —— that bolsanaro would announce. —— that bolsanaro would announce. the announce. -- that bolsanaro would announce. ~ . announce. -- that bolsanaro would announce-— announce. -- that bolsanaro would announce. we wait and when we do

4:41 pm
it is just very wearing and following the attacks on sunday it is also very frightening because now staff don�*t know if that is going to set a precedent, there will be a copycat. there is a lot of press and a lot of people around the gates right now. just a really threatening environment. just to reiterate, this is a processing centre so people aren�*t supposed to be staying there, they are supposed to stay a matter of hours but as soon as you have a of people in that place then you have problems with things like cleanliness and people coming in and that frustration that you have just detailed. what would you like to see happen now? we need to get the occupancy of the site down to a safe level. how would you go about doing that? we have got to move them somewhere else. if it has got to be hotels, as much as that might not be a popular political opinion we have got to move people out and get them into some other accommodation elsewhere, they can�*t stay here.
4:42 pm
that is the immediate crisis that needs resolution and there have been comments about the problem of supply of available space for people to move on to, obviously. let�*s say that is sorted say in the next coming weeks. longer term, how do we avoid getting into a situation like this in the first place? we really need a strategic response to it. what has been going on all the way through the two plus years of this crisis is real consideration about what do we do with these people when they are here? all of the focus has been on stopping them here or farming them off somewhere else when they get here. no one has really engaged with, this is 40,000 people now, a predicted 60,000 by the end of the year. where do we house them? how do we make that decision quickly? how do we get them through an appeal system quickly?
4:43 pm
if they don�*t qualify for protection how do we remove them quickly? what does that need? does that need more staff, more people actually eyes on and actually going through the claims? the decisions are made by human beings are not computers so yes, it needs people to make those decisions. but it also needs sufficient resources in the courts. there are two layers of appeals within the court system after that initial decision. so it is notjust a home office, it�*s the ministry ofjustice as well and we need to be together all the way through so we can grant protection to those who qualify, set them on to their new lives, get them settled. but also identify those who do not qualify and remove them quickly. at the moment it takes five to eight years to complete that process. it is worth paying that money for five to eight years here. if it only took a few months it
4:44 pm
wouldn�*t be worth paying for and it would break that business module that brings people through in the first place. that interesting. i think five to eight years will stand out. what would you say to people who are frustrated and think that the system is broken, it isn�*t controlled and they are frustrated with the government they can�*t get a grip on it? they certainly did not take back control of our borders, that frustration is understandable. inevitably, in any asylum system there are individuals who claim asylum who don�*t qualify for it. there are individuals who are wrongly granted asylum in error, there are individuals who are refused in error. that is why we have these safeguards. that is already important but it needs to happen much, much quicker. one final point. the problems we are seeing right now with that processing centre and too many people in there.
4:45 pm
were your members and workers there predicting this was it completely a surprise? it certainly has been predicted since we went back to having people to stay days at a time. all through the summer, we were managing, people were staying maybe one or two days, it wasn�*t too bad. then it started to get out of control. we then had a movement hold very briefly because it was thought that we had noravirus on site. we didn�*t actually. there was a movement hold and there was no upstream accommodation and that was that the numbers started to rise and staff on the ground was saying, this is unsustainable. we can�*t do this for much longer. is that your understanding that that message that it was unsustainable was relayed all the way of the chain of command to the home secretary or do you not know that? it was relate to the permanent secretaries because we were involved secretaries because we were involved in that. i assume it moved from the permanent

industry computer system, while the foreign minister explained more about that british support. since februa . since february, we have been working in partnership with our ukrainian allies to help them bolster their cyber defences and we have brought some of our expertise to bear on helping them defend from what has been a daily onslaught of cyber attack from russia since the start of the invasion, and they have done a heroicjob at defending particularly their critical national infrastructure and it has been an honour to bring to bear some of our expertise in assisting them in doing that. what are we actually providing in real terms? so we are providing them with expertise, resources and hardware. and it is those three things combined that has allowed them to do an extremely good job at defending from cyber attack. of course, they have a long—standing and deep expertise in this field. since 2014 they have faced a considerable number of attacks.
4:48 pm
we also have a really good body of expertise we have built early our security correspondent told us more about that support the uk has been giving. what is involved was british expertise, sometimes through the private sector giving forensic help to the ukrainians stop to investigate, to detect some of those cyber attacks. some of those attacks were directed at taking down infrastructure that ukraine depended on, in other cases it was being used to spy and gather intelligence, even potentially about individuals who the russian might want to have targeted. so by providing this kind of help ukraine has been able to defend against their cyber attacks. a lot of people thought all the ukrainian systems would be taking off line, their power grid would be switched off through cyber war and their systems would be taken down. there have been a lot of attacks but on the whole, the most worrying scenario hasn�*t happened. partly because ukrainians have been able to resist much better—than—expected but also because of some help from allies including the uk here providing

the £6 million programme which we have just learnt of down because previously it was considered operational security not to reveal the help whereas now they are making it public. interesting the timing of it, a significant shift in modern conflict if this was help offered right at the beginning of the conflict. absolutely. and even a us team was sent in to look for russians online to partner with ukrainians to hunt down new rations on ukrainian network and try and get them out. we can see there is a different type of warfare going on, it�*s notjust cyber attacks but working with countries to look for signs of presentation on the computer systems. in the uk, give us an outline of what has happened in the uk. today we had the annual review from the security centre, which protects the uk from cyber attacks.
4:50 pm
we got some sign of the scale of the problem. we were just talking about russia and ukraine in the geopolitics. actually, a lot of this is about real life some of these cyber incidents. 2.7 million online frauds were detected by the national cyber security centre in one year. that is the kind of scale that is enormous. that is people who are getting those text messages asking them to click on a link and then put in those payment details. it is affecting a huge amount of people are also criminal runs attacks. where local councils have had their computer systems locked which is meant they have been able to offer local services. these are the kind of incidents affecting daily life and there is a lot of emphasis on defence, to stop those attacks getting through and also working with the public in working with organisations so we are better prepared to deal with them if they do get through and to work out how to stop them.

received phone calls earlier in the evening from people worried about the size of the crowds. jean mackenzie reports from seoul. four hours before the deadly crush, people could see the disaster coming. the first call to police was made around this time. the caller predicts what comes next. people are coming into the alley, but they cannot get out. i barely escaped. it seems like people are going to be crushed to death. by the end of the night, 150 people would be dead. anybody looking at it should have seen that this was an accident waiting to happen. it's just... it really felt like it was so preventable. police today revealed they had taken

numerous of these warning calls. this solemn bow from south korea�*s head of police, an acknowledgement they had failed. "we think our response to those calls was inadequate," he says, "and i bear a heavy responsibility". the other question is why police were not sent ahead of time to control what was expected to be an enormous crowd. because these young people gathered spontaneously, it was not clear who was responsible for keeping them safe, and with this came another admission. i agree that there was some deficiency in that crowd management and we will reform and correct. discarded clothes belonging to the dead are still in the gym where their bodies were first taken.

on display at wembley, the home of english football, 36 years after causing england�*s players and fans so much heartache. mexico city, 1986. world cup quarterfinal, england versus argentina. 0—0, until diego maradona decided to take matters into his own hands, punching the ball beyond the onrushing peter shilton. the ball seen crossing the line has been in the cupboard of the tunisian referee, until now. do you admit it was a mistake and is there any guilt about now profiting from that decision? translation: i don't feel any guilt at this point. _ the infamous hand of god was part of the game. in football, there is no guilt whatsoever if you think you made the right decision. in contrast, maradona�*s second goal was one of the best the world has ever seen. his team won the game 2—1 and the striker eventually went on to lift the trophy. commentator: oh, you have to say that's magnificent! -
