global profits of more than £7 billion in the three months to september. unrest in brazil — as bolsanro supporters refuse to accept the result of the presidential elections. police fire tear gas as they try to break up blockades of major roads has been shot dead in texas at the age of 28. he was attacked at a bowling alley in houston. counter—terrorism police have taken on the investigation into a firebomb attack at a dover immigration centre. two or three devices — described as petrol
5:02 pm
bombs by a witness — were thrown by a man later found dead at a nearby petrol station on sunday. police who identified the man as 66—year—old andrew leak from high wycombe, said it was likely the attack was sparked by "some form of hate—filled grievance". 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. robin brant reports. 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 is what she did, didn't do, and plans to do going forward. yesterday, she likened it
5:03 pm
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
5:04 pm
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, you know, it's costing about £5 million a day
5:05 pm
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. 0ur correspondent, simonjones, has been outside the manston processing centre in kent and has been following developments there. 0n on sunday, there was a fire bomb attack at the reception centre in dover migrants once they're picked up dover migrants once they're picked up in the channel, just after 11 o'clock on sunday morning, a man drove up to the centre and through two or three devices into the centre they've described as firebombs with fireworks attached and with reception centres who were injured. 0n reception centres who were injured. on sunday, it was being led by kent
5:06 pm
police and the counterterrorism police have taken over this investigation. looking at what possibly could be behind it. we know that after the attack, the suspect then drove his vehicle to a nearby petrol station and took his own life. he has been named by the police as andrew, he was 66 years old and from wickham. they've been searching the property linked into the suspects in high wycombe and said they found a number of items of interest. you do not believe that they were acting alongside anyone else and he thanked is taking you through quote that we've had with counterterrorism police that they released the past few minutes and when counterterrorism policing becomes involved, it can be worrying for some people i like to reassure people that there's nothing to suggest there's any ongoing way to threaded this time either in dover or in high wycombe. it appears to be
5:07 pm
clear that this despicable offence was targeted and unlikely to be driven by some form of hate filled grievance and that this may not necessarily meet the threshold of terrorism at this point, the incident itself is not being determined a terrorist incident by being kept under review as the investigation continues and police are now handing it over the counterterrorism police and this was as a terrorist act there are now looking into it with a possibility of that being the link here is because of this incident in dover on sunday, some 700 migrants had to be moved for their own safety from dover here to manson and that further exacerbated the overcrowding issue. last night, some of the migrants are moved off the site but the home office refused to say how many. today, during the day, we have seen a number of coaches arrive, presumably didn't take more of the
5:08 pm
migrants away from this area towards the hotel accommodations. but we have been able to see inside the centre today, it appears that life is continuing as normal or as normal as can be possible in the site that usually overcrowded. and 4000 people here, the site only designed for around 1600 and spending around 64 hours here having the initial details taken in taking their asylum claim before being moved out, but we know the people, some of them here have been on the site for around a month. 0utside, we've seen home office staff going around the perimeter fencing office staff going around the perimeterfencing making office staff going around the perimeter fencing making sure the site is absolutely secure and so, what's going on here but the questions about how the government have been handling this, we are from the immigration minister that the reason there's been so much overcrowding here manson is because the government did not have the infrastructure and was not planning
5:09 pm
for 40,000 people, 40,000 people to come across the channel by boat. evincing migrants loaded up on coaches for the past few minutes but what we do know is at the start of this, the home office or predicting around 60,000 people might make the channel crossing by both this year and the real question of how much preparation the government put in place of the situation and they did not block the use of this to reduce overcrowding here but the local mps have told the bbc that they're not convinced by that explanation. so, a real pressure explains what happened and what they're going to do about it. 0ur correspondent ben wright is in westminster. the whole government is an rishi
5:10 pm
sunak, he began his meeting of ministers by saying pointedly that britain will always be a compassionate and welcoming country as of the entire government now would be working both to try and deal with the back log of asylum claims and also the continuing problem of small boats crossing the channel which we are in the effect of that asylum processing centre intent and so, there's huge pressure across government to do something and it is interesting that the ministers, including the immigration minister of trade to distance themselves from her words when she talked about an invasion of migrants on the south coast and said that those are not words that he would use an accident that this is a crisis that did not have any obvious solution and they will be exploring more radical options but we do not know what those are. it needs more capacity to house people arriving here clearly and it's very expensive
5:11 pm
option putting people in hotels also dealing with the overcrowded situations of nursing at the moment intent. it means another deal is to be done with the french government to try and deter people from crossing the channel and its plans for putting asylum—seekers on plan and sending them to rwanda and that stalled in the courts of the moment and not providing an immediate solution. rishi sunak telling his team of political crisis that they need to get a grip of this quite quickly. ben stay with us, because the former health secretary matt hancock has been suspended as a conservative mp after confirming that he will be taking part in this year's reality tv programme "i'm a celebrity get me out of here". the mp for west suffolk 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. mr hancock's decision has
5:12 pm
brought in strong criticism from across the political divide — including from downing street. rishi sunak�*s official spokesman said: "the pm believes that at a challenging time for the country mps should be working hard for their constituents, whether that is in the house or in their constituency." adding it was unlikely mr sunak would watch the programme. 0ur correspondent ben wright is in westminster. there's been a lot of outrage with people who have lost loved ones during the pandemic, for example. families of the bereaved to diet during covid—i9, they have expressed their anger today, accusing matt hancock of trying to cash in with a citizens terrible legacy it's hard to find any support or enthusiasm for his jaunt to the jungle and
5:13 pm
number ten clearly was caught on by this and very quickly that the tory party whip withdrawn so he cannot sit as a conservative mp of the house of commons and said the same thing was done to needing doors when she did this a decade ago. and certainly in the short term, at the end of any aspirations to return to front—line politics, he had backed rishi sunak enthusiastically and he may have been hoping for a return to a governmentjob with rishi sunak becoming prime minister. he thought about becoming and wanted to become the chair of the treasury select committee and the point of that process earlier and he says what else to lose, i'll go for. and he then he said that he thinks that this is good for the profile of mps and connects the more the public and this is said that not government quote is stable, matt hancock feels he can do this. as i said, little support i detected
5:14 pm
among his colleagues and he then he said that he had been an absolute pratt by agreeing to do this and many will ask how an mp can choose to do this while still claiming a parliamentary salary of £80,000 a year and then partaking i'm a celebrity, get me out of here. at field abuse quite shocked that he is agreed to do this but as i said, an ally of matt hancock has justified this on the grounds that it is good for the profile of mps and shows they're connecting themselves to the public perhaps in a different way and they will push forward with their own causes. particular dyslexia campaigning during his appearance. the dyslexia campaigning during his appearance-— dyslexia campaigning during his auearance. , . , ., , appearance. the liberal democrats that he should _ appearance. the liberal democrats that he should forego _ appearance. the liberal democrats that he should forego his - appearance. the liberal democrats that he should forego his mp - appearance. the liberal democrats| that he should forego his mp salary for the time that is on the programme and if you're one of his constituency of a problem during this time, who deals with thatwas doing the work for you?— this time, who deals with thatwas doing the work for you? there is a constituency _

5:16 pm
the tory party parliament has decided this is annoyed justifiable which is why they have taken the whip away from them.— which is why they have taken the whip away from them. thank you very much. ben mentioned _ whip away from them. thank you very much. ben mentioned one _ whip away from them. thank you very much. ben mentioned one of - whip away from them. thank you very much. ben mentioned one of them i whip away from them. thank you veryl much. ben mentioned one of them but ben mentioned one of mr hancock is not the first politician to try their hand on reality tv. leader of the house of commons penny mordaunt — who was in contention to be the next prime minister — made a splash on the itv diving show splash. former labour shadow chancellor ed balls showed off his moves on strictly come dancing. the former culture secretary nadine dorries went into the jungle. and george galloway—donned a leotard for a robotic dance and impersonated a cat on celebrity big brother in 2006, while serving as a respect mp and my guest also knows

5:18 pm
a nonempty point of view, there was the money that we have given away had it been an mp and this is what you learn about yourself and that intangible thing. matt hancock says that he is there to do noble things and set the record straight and promote his charity and i think it's a little naive but he thinks if he honestly were to say that actually, i want to have the slave experience this is a part of myjourney, that is a very respectable position to take.~ is a very respectable position to take. ~ , , is a very respectable position to take.~ , , ,. is a very respectable position to take. ~ , , _ take. while still being paid by the taxa er take. while still being paid by the taxpayer to _ take. while still being paid by the taxpayer to answer _ take. while still being paid by the taxpayer to answer the _ take. while still being paid by the taxpayer to answer the concerns i take. while still being paid by the i taxpayer to answer the concerns and queries of your audience. imilieu taxpayer to answer the concerns and queries of your audience. when boris johnson queries of your audience. when boris johnson was — queries of your audience. when boris johnson was in _ queries of your audience. when boris johnson was in barbados, _ queries of your audience. when boris johnson was in barbados, he - queries of your audience. when boris johnson was in barbados, he was - johnson was in barbados, he was being paid on holiday, many people are saying newspaper reviews on bbc, they still get paid a small amount for the time they're on television and potentially some payment for that, have i got news for you based
5:19 pm
people, so, who makes thejudgment for who should be doing this? matt hancock and do what he wants the earnings per what i do not like is the sanctimonious write to this indignation when you cannot make money outside of parliament, if you want full—time career politicians don't do anything else, you're definitely going to limit the pool of people who are going to go into politics. i don't have a problem with those make money on the side as a barrister, for example, any more than matt hancock trying to be a celebrity stop when he was health secretary during the pandemic, during secretary during the pandemic, durin '. secretary during the pandemic, durin: ., , ., secretary during the pandemic, durina ., , during when thousands of people lost loved ones or— during when thousands of people lost loved ones or cannot _ during when thousands of people lost loved ones or cannot visit _ during when thousands of people lost loved ones or cannot visit loved - loved ones or cannot visit loved ones in hospital and could not visit hospital and care homes and the way he is known is because he was at a very difficult time for this nation, thatis very difficult time for this nation, that is somehow that is different from a lot of the other examples that you have given there. ida. from a lot of the other examples that you have given there. no, it's

5:21 pm
made his choice and it's not a crime and he has broken any rules, as you're in the previous discussion and good luck to him and perhaps he might even rehabilitate himself to some extent. might even rehabilitate himself to some extent-— some extent. let's talk about the three weeks _ some extent. let's talk about the three weeks or _ some extent. let's talk about the three weeks or so _ some extent. let's talk about the three weeks or so in _ some extent. let's talk about the three weeks or so in and - some extent. let's talk about the three weeks or so in and of - some extent. let's talk about the | three weeks or so in and of itself, you say perhaps he was a little bit naive in thinking about he would be able to promote his charity work which is why he he is talked about. what do you mean by that, given your experiences? i5 what do you mean by that, given your exoeriences?— experiences? is of the charity work, he will aet experiences? is of the charity work, he will get some _ experiences? is of the charity work, he will get some coverage. - experiences? is of the charity work, he will get some coverage. at - experiences? is of the charity work, he will get some coverage. at the i experiences? is of the charity work, | he will get some coverage. at the be editors of the programme are fairly generous when it comes to that. i think you might be naive, should you believe this, is setting the record straight about what was right about how he ran the covid—i9 pandemic strategies and what else he did, why? because itv is not having them on the show to rehabilitate him in the political sense, they have in there because people like you and me are talking about this and many
5:22 pm
people are discussing matt hancock being in thejungle people are discussing matt hancock being in the jungle and to some extent, the that's why i was there because i was a high—profile loser in the 2010 may general election. so, the naivety comes if you think you can edit your own profile and how you are presented. there are hundreds and perhaps thousands of hours of footage every single day and all itv really want is the most colourful, most interesting and perhaps the most road crash coverage and i think matt would be foolish if he thinks that he can somehow make himself look better or on the other hand if he says he just wants to raise his profile thinking of a career in celebrity he just wants to do this for the fun of it, fair play to him but ijust think it's childish to deny him that because he does want to sit at home and for the indefinite future and lamenting things he did not do right under the covid—19 clause. mm things he did not do right under the covid-19 clause.— covid-19 clause. will you be watching? _ covid-19 clause. will you be

5:24 pm
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. 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
5:25 pm
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 we can speak now with tessa khan, environmental lawyer and director of uplift, a research campaign group for a �*just and fossil fuel—free uk. your thoughts on this sum of money and this is by no means the first large energy company that we have been reporting with these sorts of figures in recent weeks. ida. been reporting with these sorts of figures in recent weeks. no, that's riuht. you figures in recent weeks. no, that's right- you are _ figures in recent weeks. no, that's right. you are very _ figures in recent weeks. no, that's right. you are very much _ figures in recent weeks. no, that's right. you are very much in - figures in recent weeks. no, that's right. you are very much in line i right. you are very much in line with the prophets that were reported by shell last week and on friday as well, from other oil and gas companies and so, it's completely in keeping with the expectation has been, which is the result of russia's war against ukraine and the
5:26 pm
price of gas is sort of globally these gas companies are making windfall profits and they aren't expending any more energy or effort by getting gas out of the ground for the price they get for that product has skyrocketed and it is extremely clear, given the reality the economic crisis that the uk is and the government saying that the only have difficult decisions to make to fill the gap that is needed for public services, for example in up the millions of families across the country will be in fuel poverty this winter, there is a very easy decision that is available to them which is to increase the tax on these oil and gas companies. ibi?’ which is to increase the tax on these oil and gas companies. bp says it exects these oil and gas companies. bp says it exoects to — these oil and gas companies. bp says it exoects to pay _ these oil and gas companies. bp says it expects to pay the _ these oil and gas companies. bp says it expects to pay the equivalent - these oil and gas companies. bp says it expects to pay the equivalent of. it expects to pay the equivalent of about $800 million in uk taxes this year and so, about $800 million in uk taxes this yearand so, it about $800 million in uk taxes this year and so, it is paying money. it is pleasant as making these enormous profits that not avoided this year
5:27 pm
alone. and how much vps are paying. and in terms of tax rates, the uk still is charging oil and gas companies below the global average. in no way, for example, there is a 70% tax on oil and gas profits here in the uk, is still below 70% and for the government can slowly be going for the day it is to make sure that companies like bp pay their fair share. �* , xx that companies like bp pay their fair share. �* , . ., fair share. and their bricks for investing. _ fair share. and their bricks for investing. is _ fair share. and their bricks for investing, is that _ fair share. and their bricks for investing, is that the - fair share. and their bricks for investing, is that the way - fair share. and their bricks for i investing, is that the way forward as far as you're concerned, encouraging investing in from your perspective, encouraging investing renewals? we perspective, encouraging investing renewals? ~ . perspective, encouraging investing renewals? . ., ., , perspective, encouraging investing renewals? ~ . ., ., , ., renewals? we have at the moment is a hue renewals? we have at the moment is a huge problem — renewals? we have at the moment is a huge problem with _ renewals? we have at the moment is a huge problem with the _ renewals? we have at the moment is a huge problem with the current - huge problem with the current windfall tax and there is a loophole and reaching 91p of every pound they

invest in oil and gas and shell, for example, announced massive profits and will likely be paying any windfall tax over the last quarter and that is a huge loop or that the government is to close immediately because with the need for oil and gas which we cannot afford at the moment, will be actually need is renewables and if the government should be doing everything they can do it's that which is energy that is currently nine times cheaper than gas, which is current in abundance in the uk would really be developing in the uk would really be developing in a world leading way, rather than continuing to reward companies for investing in oil and gas that is exported that is ruining our energy bills and also we should say in a week, work at the un climate summit happening and what is driving the climate crisis.— happening and what is driving the climate crisis. thank you very much indeed. climate crisis. thank you very much indeed- the — climate crisis. thank you very much indeed. the director _ climate crisis. thank you very much indeed. the director for _ climate crisis. thank you very much indeed. the director for uplift, - indeed. the director for uplift, thank you. we stay with the general topic.
5:29 pm
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. work of the what could the options be? giles wilkes is a special partner at flint global, but was a financial adviser to both theresa may when she was prime minister, and vince cable as business secretary. hejoins us now from central london. who would want to be chancellor at the moment? what are the options as far as you see it? he the moment? what are the options as far as you see it?— far as you see it? he doesn't have the option — far as you see it? he doesn't have the option to do _ far as you see it? he doesn't have the option to do nothing. - far as you see it? he doesn't have the option to do nothing. while i far as you see it? he doesn't have i the option to do nothing. while some people would object to the language of a black hole and public finances, fiscal policy is a matter for debate like anything else. they have set
5:30 pm
themselves the challenge of trying to bring debt to a stable place in a few years' time which means by most calculations, they need to find 30 to 40 billion pounds in savings. backin to 40 billion pounds in savings. back in 2010, they didn't 80% spending cut even rising, this time around, they don't look like that me spending cuts options and they do need to look at tax rises. so, it's really difficult position for the chancellor but there are plenty of different tactics seem able to race, income tax, fuel gt, corporate tax and areas, there are lots of options. literally none of them are easier, the political cost though. as pa rt of as part of the thing here — that absolutely makes sense, but this party traditionally doesn't like to raise taxes. they almost think psychologically this goes with a dash against what they believe in, but what are the options? absolutely, because normally they
5:31 pm
sell themselves as the low tax party. six weeks ago, they were banging the table" cheering at liz truss and kwasi kwarteng putting the country into a crisis. if they hadn't had the incredible almost existential shock of the last six weeks, there would be no chancellor getting this through. these are people who would normally vote against this. they might do a little bit of spending cuts, but after all of the austerity since 2010, there are no good options. a recent report pointed out if you cut staff, you worsen already dire level of public service. if you can't pay, pay has fallen well beyond the position it should have been for the last ten years. it's about 16% behind. yeah,
