have named the 66—year—old suspect who was later found dead at a petrol station. the chief inspector of prisons says conditions at the manston migrant processing centre in kent have worsened since the summer. he described them as wretched. today coaches have continued to move migrants from the camp, taking them to a hotel at heathrow. our home affairs correspondenet daniel sandford has the latest from kent. sunday's firebomb attack on a migrant processing centre in dover now being treated by police as a terrorist incident. the suspect, andrew leak, took his own life at a nearby petrol station but searches of his home in high wycombe have revealed a possible terrorist motivation for the attack. high winds in the channel today meant that no migrants were daring to set out in small boats, but with 48 people having crossed yesterday, the total who have made the journey this year is creeping closer and closer to 40,000. it has led to a crisis at the makeshift immigration processing centre at manston,

20 miles away. up to 1000 migrants were supposed to stay here for about 2k hours to do their initial paperwork. the chief inspector of prisons said conditions in the centre were 0k injuly but it is now holding up to 4000 people and some are spending a month sleeping on the floor. what we are saying to the home office is really, get a grip. because of the concerns that have been raised by a number of sources, we have actually decided that we will return to the site and reinspect again in the nearfuture. the government's first move towards getting a grip has been to drive a few hundred migrants out of the centre today. 0ne coachload of young men was taken to a hotel near heathrow airport where they got off, each clutching a blue plastic bag of belongings. what we have to do at manston is ensure that it returns to a well—run, compassionate, humane site which can manage around 1000—2000 individuals. at the moment it has got

significantly more than that. we are working intensely now every day to reduce that population. natasha roots and her family live 50 metres from the manston fence. she told me she is concerned that she now finds herself living next to what is almost a prison. my children go out and play in the street. if they decide to break out because they've got nothing left to live for, god knows what could happen. if something like dover happens or they decide to have a riot or break out. the numbers being held at manston have now started to reduce as the government moves migrants by coach to hotels away from kent. but ministers still seem unable to reduce the numbers crossing the channel in the first place. the immigration minister said today the prime minister was very focused on the migrant crisis, saying the

government would be looking at radical options to ensure that economic migrants are quickly returned to the countries of origin and to try to deter people from coming to the uk in the first place. but the opposition said the home secretary's language yesterday, in which she described an invasion of southern britain, had done nothing to help. daniel sandford, thank you. so almost 40,000 people have crossed the english channel in small boats this year — a record number. but how does that compare to the number of asylum seeker who've been smuggled across the channel on the back of lorries, for example, over the years? and how does the situation here now compare to eu countries? our home editor, mark easton, has been looking at the figures. thanks, sophie. britain's asylum system is in crisis. that's according to the home secretary. and here is evidence. these photographs obtained by the bbc were taken inside a home office facility in dover in the last ten days. they show unaccompanied children

who have arrived in small boats sleeping on thin mats with blankets on the floor of what is an office waiting room. we don't know much about the youngsters other than they are deemed to be under 18 and seeking asylum in the uk, just part of the numbers who arrive from across the channel. 300 in 2018, 40,000 now. so is britain experiencing unusual pressures? over the last 40 years, there have been peaks and troughs in uk asylum claims depending on wars and displacement. there were spikes in the early �*90s and early noughties. but since then, the picture has stabilised. the method of arrival has shifted from hiding in the back of lorries to small boats in the channel, but even though last year saw around 56,000 asylum seekers arriving, that's still well below the numbers 20 years ago. so is the uk unusual in having so many people asking for sanctuary? well, no.

we know that asylum application numbers go up and down so part because at the moment, we have a big backlog building up of people who are waiting over a year in most cases, sometimes even two or three years, to get an initial decision

and the un says asylum seekers don't have to claim in the first safe country they reach. the government deter seekers from coming by an official criminalising �* arrival threatening send some to and threatening to send some to rwanda. the home secretary has talked of capping the number who can come. but refugee agencies say what's needed are long—term solutions — a network of safe routes considering some asylum claims overseas. what is clear is that there is no quick fix. sophie. police are investigating the death of an 88—year—old woman after she was allegedly attacked at a care home in bedfordshire. sheila hartman, who had dementia, was taken to hospital with head injuries after the incident

in early october. her son claims she was attacked by another resident. an inquest is due to be open and adjourned into her death tomorrow. here's our social affairs editor, alison holt. for richard uridge, this box contains precious memories of his mother. she was into knitting and embroidery and crochet. sheila hartman lived a full life. even in her later years when she went blind and developed dementia, she kept busy. a very thoughtful woman as well as a very practical woman. some of the most recent pictures before she had to go into a care home. mrs hartman was living at ridgeway lodge care home in dunstable. at the beginning of october, richard got a call saying she had been attacked in her bed early in the morning. she was taken to hospital. didn't look like mum to start with. she had a number, a significant number of head injuries. i was able to hold her hand and tell her how loved she was and,

as a mum and grandma and a great grandma. she died a few hours later at luton and dunstable hospital. the police say inquiries are ongoing and confirmed that a woman in her 90s was also taken to hospital and remains there. mrs hartman's son claims she was attacked by another resident. the two staff who were on duty on the dementia floor were busy helping someone else. he says he has many questions, including about staffing levels and strain on the wider care system. it's not about an individual who has attacked my mum, it is more for me about how we care for older people and whether we can do better to reduce the risk of this kind of thing happening. what's the bloody point of somebody dying in such horrifying circumstances if we don't use it as a wake—up call to say something has got to give, something has got to change? hc one, which runs ridgeway lodge, says it has been deeply shocked and saddened by mrs hartman's death,

and that it is working closely with relevant authorities and the police to establish the full facts. the regulator is also carrying out an inspection. alison holt, bbc news. the energy giant bp has reported another huge increase in profits. it made over £7 billion betweenjuly and september — more than double its earnings during the same period last year. the government is facing growing calls to expand the windfall tax on energy firms. our business editor simonjack is here with more. when customers' pain is some companies' gain, it understandably grabs attention and prompts financial and political questions. as oil and gas prices have soared, the profits of those that sell it have done the same. bp announced profits of £7.1 billion for the three months to the end of september alone. so far this year they have made profits of £19.9 billion.

on that, they paid uk tax of £2.2 billion, which includes £700 million in new windfall taxes introduced by rishi sunak when he was chancellor. many say that is not nearly enough. they should be paying more, because it's not about, in absolute terms, what they are paying, because it will sound like a big number because they are making massive profits but what matters is whether they are paying their fair share and that is something you judge by how much they are being taxed in other countries, and the uk, even with a windfall tax taxes oil and gas companies like bp thatis taxes oil and gas companies like bp that is a rate below the average tax rate. but remember, not all of bp's profits are taxable in the uk. 0nly10% of their revenue comes from the uk. any uk profits are already currently taxed at 65%, but companies can perfectly legally offset uk investment against those profits, so even if you made that 100%, it could neverfill the hole in the public finances

estimated to be £40 billion — that's a rough estimate of how much the government needs to shrink the gap between what it gets in tax and what it spends. the chancellor and the prime minister are discussing how to do that right now and will tell us on november 17th, so what are their options? there are two decisions here. the first is how much to do through increased taxes and how much to do through reduced spending. both are obviously very painful. previously in the 2010s it was done through reduced spending but that might make it harder now and that is one reduced spending but that might make it harder ithe and that is one i!!!

set of elections. currently the democrats have a majority in both houses. but if the republicans win one of the chambers of congress, president biden will find it difficult to get laws passed. and there are plenty of divisive issues the run up to the vote, including the economy, crime and abortion. the former president donald trump is also very much in the mix — still a majorfactor in these elections. many of the republican candidates seeking votes don't believe trump lost the presidential election in 2020. the key states will be the ones the republicans lost to the democrats at the last election including arizona, from where our correspondent john sudworth sent this report. arizona's rugged landscapes speak to its place on america's old wild west frontier.

today, though, it is the politics that is wild. some of the most corrupt elections we've ever seen. with the state at the vanguard of the republican party's stolen election claim. you're across the pond and you think you know about our election. let mejust tell you... wholly convinced. had you held this position in 2020 and had the result of that election been on your desk here in arizona, what would you have done? well, first of all, make sure there were not votes that

were outside of the law counted. so this is the tabulation room where every single early ballot will be tabulated. it is a system under siege, with election workers facing death threats and deluged by allegations without evidence. following and still has people that believe in, is that we took ballots from the 2020 election, we fed them to chickens and then we incinerated the chickens to cover the tracks. given all of that, how worried are you about the future health of this democracy? i am deeply worried.

suggests something fundamental is being lost here — a readiness to accept that people with values that you oppose that this civil war hasn't already begun? but while far right groups make inflammatory claims of war, this meeting is sparsely attended and a local democrat candidate has even accepted an invitation to speak. the democratic process somehow struggles on, for now. in this state, though, it's clear how this country's political fault lines are deepening, and in an election in which democracy itself is on the ballot, the polls are close. john sudworth, bbc news, arizona.

36 years after causing england's players and fans so much heartache. maradona just walked away from hoddle... 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 is 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. he won't need any of them! 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 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. 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, which word do you think sums up 2022? this year has seen the war in ukraine, political instability, the death of queen elizabeth ii and natural disasters — to name a few. well, collins dictionary has chosen �*permacrisis' as its word of the year.
