hello, i'm kasia madera. this is outside source. could this man be returned as prime minister of israel? is due to speak. this is the scene we live in brazil where he is expected to make the statement but there are fears that he may contest there are fears that he may contest the victory of his rival lula. people are refusing to accept the result in her blockading major roads across the country. also coming up in the programme. final polls suggest benjamin netanyahu could secure a record 6th term in office. the polls close shortly in israel's fifth election within four years.
7:01 pm
we'll be live injerusalem. british counter—terrorism police take over the investigation into a firebomb attack at an immigration centre, as the government vows "more radical" policies to tackle growing numbers crossing the channel: the scare was very significant and we are, i'm afraid, singer asylum system being overwhelmed by the numbers choosing to cross the channel. a week till the us mid—term elections, we report from arizona — where republican politicians who say the 2020 election was stolen, are running for office: we are expecting to hear from bolsonaro. let's have a look at what's happening at the palace and
7:02 pm
all the votes counted, lula 150.9% against his arch rival mr bolsonaro 49.i% against his arch rival mr bolsonaro 49.1% and so, a very tight margin. and mr bolsonaro possible supporters are simply not accepting it. there blockading roads and protests. we are waiting to hear if bolsonaro will concede defeat and we are waiting for 46 hours and will go back to life to this scene in the presidential palace as and when bolsonaro is due to start speaking because like i say, we had expected him to speak much earlier than this and he has not and we arejust working out whether he will actually concede the election but his
7:03 pm
protesters, his supporters have been unwilling to accept the result and as i said, it was extremely tight but we are expecting finally, brazil's far right president bolsonaro to speak and when he does, we will bring that you live. polls will close in less than an hour in less than four years. all eyes on the former prime minister benjamin netanyahu who was israel's longest serving prime minister. his record i2—year—run ended injune last year — when parliament approved a coalition government of both rightwing and arab parties — led by the nationalist naftali bennet. polls predict that in the lines
7:04 pm
could to four. so, if polling is correct, mr netanyahu could return as prime minister and this was his message to voters today. it is as prime minister and this was his message to voters today.- message to voters today. it is a du in message to voters today. it is a duty in the _ message to voters today. it is a duty in the big _ message to voters today. it is a duty in the big honour- message to voters today. it is a duty in the big honour to - message to voters today. it is a duty in the big honour to vote i message to voters today. it is a | duty in the big honour to vote in message to voters today. it is a i duty in the big honour to vote in i sent to our supporters and also in general to the citizens of israel. i told you, i was a bit worried but with gods help, we will finish the day with a smile. but it is up to the people. everyone will make his decision. ijust hope you do not give up on your democratic right to vote for the fate of the country. the longest—serving prime minister, his 12 year run ended injune last year when parliament approved a coalition government of both the and arab parties led by the nationalists.
7:05 pm
rightwing and arab parties — led by the nationalist naftali bennet. it was dubbed the �*government of change'. but it wasn't to last. a year later the coalition collapsed after the government failed to pass a law to allow settlers in the occupied west bank the same rights as israelis. parliament was dissolved and yaer lapid became israel's caretaker prime minister. he's now trying to build a coalition that will keep netanyahu out of power. so it's complicated — as yolande knell explains. israel has very fragmented political system that relies on coalition governments but what is really unprecedented and staffed this period of such political stalemate and whether or not five elections in under four years. and whether or not five elections in underfouryears. since and whether or not five elections in underfour years. since netanyahu under four years. since netanyahu was underfour years. since netanyahu was charged with corruption, the country has been deeply split. current p.m. country has been deeply split. current pm. is campaigning on official photo ops. last year, he drew together and ideological divers coalition which pushed netanyahu
7:06 pm
from office. but this is the story of the selection and the rising popularity of the far right. where there is a flashpoint, jewish supremacy is always there. for years, he was on the political fringes and now he's being talked asa 7 7 asa potential 7 7 7 asapotentialcabinet about as a potential cabinet minister. explaining the so complicated this so benjamin netanyahu's promise to give ben gaveer a top government position in return for the party's support. has worried israeli arabs. here's the leader of the arab alliance. "it is in our hands to prevent that by elevating and increasing the turnout of the arab community. we can do that and to support our list in order to prevent netanyahu from arriving to power. we can do that."
7:07 pm
for more lets speak to the bbc�*s tom bateman who joins us from jerusalem. are we expecting benjamin netanyahu to be in the lead? this is not an unprecedented situation but is still that needs to be resolved, finally. is pretty much guaranteed that his party with the headquarters will be will be the biggest party in previous elections. but it's not just about the individual parties but the blocks of the coalition system. the key point about this is the deadlock elections four times and it's not the fifth now but when the polls close, they're still voting at the moment but there is much clearer idea because they will release exit polls and they're pretty accurate and basically, whether or not it's another time between the two big blocks or
7:08 pm
whether an initiative victory. one of these smaller parties have done this and israel as a system where very small party of to enter parliament, yourfour very small party of to enter parliament, your four seats of the way she did nothing at all is designed to keep very marginal small parties and if any of those cannot make the threshold, we could see that helping benjamin netanyahu. having said that, we see an extremely high turnout around six o'clock local time and 60% of its relief voters already turning out to vote and that could make this the highest turnout in two decades in voter fatigue because this hasn't played out at all and so as i say an underground 50 minutes' time, we will see just how well they have done when they arrive here later.
7:09 pm
there is a high turnout and no voter fatigue when it comes to the issues of the collapse of the failure of the government of change, the issues are still there that some changed as such and so, how stable can this coalition block be?— coalition block be? that is our chance coalition block be? that is our change because _ coalition block be? that is our change because netanyahu i coalition block be? that is our change because netanyahu is| coalition block be? that is our - change because netanyahu is still a key player in british politics in this release feel about him, he is still by far the single most popular leader on his own but the problem has been the way he has split and fragmented is own right—wing base and particularly politicians were once loyal and those who went to the other side and voters remain very divided over and not least because he continues to face corruption trial allegations that he denies and none of these factors of dunaway and
7:10 pm
employees of the last four years, they remain in place for the selection and whatever the result, it's probably going to be pretty close because it remains a leader of the party and if it wasn't there and they had a different leader, you'll probably see different possibilities around the way the coalitions could be built and potentially stable one and the ways that they could build those coalitions and really remain the most divisive issue in politics today. the most divisive issue in politics toda . .,, the most divisive issue in politics toda . , , today. those exit polls in 'ust under anfi today. those exit polls in 'ust under an hour's i today. those exit polls in 'ust under an hour's time * today. those exit polls in 'ust under an hour's time and h today. those exit polls in just under an hour's time and forl today. those exit polls in just i under an hour's time and for the time being, tom bateman thank you. british counter—terrorism police have taken over the investigation into a firebomb attack at an immigration centre. that's as the british immigration minister vowed "more radical" policies to counter illegal migration as record numbers make the treacherous crossing of the english channel.
7:11 pm
sunday's firebomb attack was at a reception centre in dover, where migrants are first taken to when they arrive in small boats. the attacker, who's now been named as 66—year—old andrew leak, later killed himself. then on monday, the home secretary said it wasn't being treated as a terrorist incident. but today, that changed. here's our correspondent simonjones. the investigation and what happened was being led by kent police but we have just learned that counterterrorism police have taken over this investigation and officers have been searching the property linked to the suspect and hot wickham and this is the number of items of interest do not believe that he was acting alongside anyone else. the attack meant that hundreds of people were then taken to another, already overcrowded, migrant processing centre in nearby manston.
7:12 pm
people are only supposed to be there for 2h hours but some have recently been there for much longer. these images give you an idea of the kind of cramped living conditions people are facing. a report published today says the conditions at manston have deteriorated since july and have been described as "wretched". here's the chief inspector of prisons. generally, the centre was working reasonably well and intelligence from a number of very credible sources from trade unions working on the site to local mps from other people who were involved with the site and this makes us think that we are to be going as soon as possible to go and reinspect. the government points to the surge in numbers crossing the english channel — the stretch of water which separates the uk from the rest of mainland europe. nearly a0 thousand have arrived in the country
7:13 pm
so far this year. that's up from the nearly 29 thousand in 2021. for asylum seekers — the usual wait time for their case to be processed is six months. but recent home office figures show more than 70% of applicants haven't heard back in that time. many migrants are waiting in limbo in hotels. the government says it's costing almost 7 million pounds a day. labour says the whole asylum systems needs to be overhauled. the home secretary suella braverman described it as this. the system is broken, illegal migration, illegal migration is out of control. so the government says illegal migration is out of control. suella braverman also described the situation like this. the british people deserve to know
7:14 pm
which party is serious about stopping the invasion on our southern coast and which party is not. there's been lots of criticism. the refugee council said... dame diana johnson is a labour mp and chair of the home affairs select committee, which scrutinises the home office. we produced a report in the summer one of the things we said in our report was the home office were expecting the numbers this year to increase on the numbers from last year and also planning expectations that we understood the home office would engage in. as the inspector for the borders and immigration said, you plan for the worst he for the best. that is why i'm really
7:15 pm
still sure what is going wrong that we've ended up with the situation. today — the prime minister's official spokesman had this to say about suella braverman�*s comments. we are seeing our asylum system being overwhelmed by the numbers choosing to cross the channel. meanwhile, hundreds of people remain in cramped, temporary conditions at the manston facility. our home affairs correspondent is there. this is not a place of the beds and all kinds of arrangements for people to sleep. people are essentially sleeping on mats. you seen people queuing up to use the porter parties through the fences and it's a summer
7:16 pm
place that is a very poor level of facilities for any length of time here. but there has been a development. buses have arrived at manston — reportedly to take asylum seekers from the centre. laura kirk—smith is the uk's executive director of the global aid organisation the international rescue committee. you do work in the uk as well, briefly explain to us how you assist or help people in these kinds of facilities? we or help people in these kinds of facilities? ~ ., �* . , facilities? we don't root directly in these facilities, _ facilities? we don't root directly in these facilities, but _ facilities? we don't root directly in these facilities, but we - facilities? we don't root directly in these facilities, but we do - facilities? we don't root directly i in these facilities, but we do work with refugees who come to the uk and we support them and understanding the culture and how to find work, what is incredibly striking about people who work within their predominantly from afghanistan come from syria and iraq and from ukraine

asylum and we are the right to seek asylum and we are the right to seek asylum and asylum claim is successful and sometimes it isn't and the economic migrants ultimately, those that are successful wouldn't have the right to remain in the uk —— are not successful. and those who do need the safety and protection of the uk and we do have a fantastic history of kind and generous history of giving them that safety protection, people who needed —— need it can stay and those who don't cannot. thank you. back to brazil, we're still waiting for michael to pick because it is just —— we're waiting for bolsonaro.
7:20 pm
president bolsonaro address the country and the concerns that he may not concede. let's talk for our correspondent from bbc brazil who joins us now. what are we expecting him to say? we what are we expecting him to say? - have been waiting for almost an hour for them to speak right now and there is still no expectation really about whether he will concede defeat or not. and if he has said to rioters that he would concede to feed her if you would not contest the result of the elections and some of also been saying that he might in a way, show some kind of support for the people who were doing the blockades and the highways in brazil
7:21 pm
supporting him so, maybe some kind of dog whistling is expected as they say in the united states to his supporters and now we still do not know and in any way, his silence so far over 44 hours after the results were announced has been interpreted by his supporters groups on whatsapp on telegram and live as support for what is been happening in the highways in brazil and the whole country causing major disruption in chaos. we country causing ma'or disruption in chaos. ~ , ., , ., chaos. we see the images of them lacatin: chaos. we see the images of them placating streets — chaos. we see the images of them placating streets and _ chaos. we see the images of them placating streets and highways - chaos. we see the images of them j placating streets and highways and in terms ofjust how damaging what he was saying about the election process itself, the voting process itself, how damaging is that in terms of this being a clear—cut when for lula. the damage has been done. many people believe in this idea
7:22 pm
that there might�*ve been some kind of fraud in the voting process which is an idea that is no basis in reality whatsoever. the voting machines have been extensively tested in the electoral process has been extensively approved and validated not only by national specialists and the ministers of the supreme electoral court in brazil, but also by international specialists and whatsapp in telegram groups of the supporters, brazilian fact checkers of mapped at least 30 message chains talking about the frauds will have some kind of algorithm that would have benefited lula who was just elected. all baseless accusations that are part of this massive campaign of misinformation that is been spreading like fire.-

misinformation that is been spreading like fire. thank you very much and as _ spreading like fire. thank you very much and as we _ spreading like fire. thank you very much and as we await _ spreading like fire. thank you very much and as we await bolsonaro, | much and as we await bolsonaro, we will come back to your thoughts once we finally hear from him. will come back to your thoughts once we finally hearfrom him. yet, we have another election. the us midterms which could have significant political consequences and the results could set the scene for the presidential race in 202a. every seat in the house of representatives is up for grabs in pulse 35 seats in the senate and thatis pulse 35 seats in the senate and that is the upper house of the us congress and also 36 governors will be decided. attention is on the key battleground state of where the current us presidentjoe biden is campaigning. this is fort lauderdale live now. florida's incumbent republican governor ron desantis, is seeking re—election. the democrat's nominee is former us representative charlie crist, who previously served as governor of florida as a republican. crist is seeking to become the first democrat elected governor
7:24 pm
of florida since 1994. lets look at the race for governor. the democratic nominee is charlie crist, a republican—turned—democrat. he's going up against florida's republican governor ron desantis. he's hugely popular among republicans and if re—elected, is likely to challenge donald trump's hold on the party and could even run for president. our north america correspondent anthony zurcher is in virginia. bring us up—to—date on what's happening in virginia because that is where you are right now it's popular with just a little south of washington, dc and one of the true toss ups that will determine which party controls the house of representatives and it is a battle between democrats and condiments in the challenger who is of hispanic origin ensure republicans and abortion, the economy, prime, there are very big issues here. . what happens there could impact what happens there could impact what happens with donald trump, whether he becomes a republicans presidential nominee in 2024. it could calmly talk about a popular
7:25 pm
government, if he winds reelection, he will be very well positioned to launch his own presidential bid and he can end up being donald trump's biggest rival of donald trump decides to run. florida is a swing state in theory although i should mention, it's been a long time since they've elected a democratic governor and it's been a long time since the democrat carried the state. and if he sees this as his chance to introduce himself on the national stage.— national stage. many thanks for brinuain national stage. many thanks for bringing us _ national stage. many thanks for bringing us un _ national stage. many thanks for bringing us up to _ national stage. many thanks for bringing us up to speed - national stage. many thanks for bringing us up to speed and - national stage. many thanks for bringing us up to speed and he| national stage. many thanks for. bringing us up to speed and he is national stage. many thanks for - bringing us up to speed and he is in virginia and president biden is in florida and we are monitoring that we are also monitoring what is happening in brazil but we are still waiting for bolsonaro to potentially concede the election that took place a number of days now but we are yet to hear from a number of days now but we are yet to hearfrom him the moment we do,
7:26 pm
it will bring that to you. much more on our website and will be back shortly. good evening. it has been a mild october we know, but it's also been a little wetter than average across england, wales and scotland but in northern ireland, we had 50% more rain than we would normally see in october and for the whole of the uk, november started on the web note as well. next, real deep area of low pressure running in from tomorrow in bringing in a spell of wet and windy weather and attracts his heels across the clearing into the south of friday to allow a bridge of high—pressure and higher whether these rainfall totals over the next three or four days, you these rainfall totals over the next three orfour days, you can these rainfall totals over the next three or four days, you can see these rainfall totals over the next three orfour days, you can see how they might be mounting up with time and the blues deeper and it's quite clear that most parts of the uk are
7:27 pm
going to see some significant rainfall between now and the end of the week. in the form of showers of the week. in the form of showers of the moment, heavy, some thundering as well but i think by the time to get past midnight, they should started a damping down ease as well with a little bit of mist and fog forming insured and only a quieter and chillier night. —— certainly. and in and rushes the deepest area of low pressure to bring some wet weather but also some widely windy weather but also some widely windy weather across the uk and russia were very miserable with southern and western scotland, it might be the ring takes most of the day before reaching east anglia after dark but gradually, that wetter weather spells its way eastwards and weather spells its way eastwards and we could have several hours of quite intense rain and it is mild for most of us as you can see, but there will be those lively winds and severe gales and forecast, 40 or 50 mile an hour gusts of wind. that low
7:28 pm
pressure takes its way to the north sea but the weather front remain slow moving and once it does arrive, tomorrow evening, could be well with us tomorrow evening and tomorrow night and into thursday across east anglia in the southeast, uncertainty as quickly it will clear way but showers following behind and on thursday, temperatures will be down to where they should be and they should stay that way on friday with each of the stopper looks like a drier state of the week because come saturday, we have the next area of the pressure bringing in more rain and reminded that it is going to be pretty nasty with weather in wednesday and mornings on the website.

7:33 pm
that this is not democratic. people here don't want to move out and all. it's a very, very narrow margin by which lula da silva won this in action —— this election. even once he speaks, the supporters ofjair bolsonaro won't accept his defeat, but how is it important that he concedes? i but how is it important that he concedes?— but how is it important that he concedes? ~' �* , ., ., ., concedes? i think there's a lot of criticism coming _ concedes? i think there's a lot of criticism coming in _ concedes? i think there's a lot of criticism coming in the _ concedes? i think there's a lot of criticism coming in the reason i concedes? i think there's a lot of. criticism coming in the reason why there is chaos is the fast he has not said anything. let's remember, you talk about a narrow margin. just over half of the people voted voted for lula. there are millions of people who are very angry, and lula stirs a lot of emotion here in brazil. he is remembered for being one of the most popular politicians one of the most popular politicians on earth, but at the same time, he
7:34 pm
got involved in corruption scandals and spent some time in jail. got involved in corruption scandals and spent some time injail. for the people who do not like him, they're just so angry about the fact that he is back in power. i think that's the divide we're seeing here. without the current president conceding and recognising it was a democratic vote, i think a lot of people will continue to contest it. there is talk that jair bolsonaro will not contest the result, that he will say something. whether he'll congratulate lula — i doubt it — but it do seem overall that the feeling is he lost, he's a bad loser and he needs to acknowledge that. the transition will carry on.- needs to acknowledge that. the transition will carry on. well, we await his words _ transition will carry on. well, we await his words because - transition will carry on. well, we await his words because that - transition will carry on. well, we - await his words because that podium is still empty in brasilia. for the time being, thank you very much for joining us live.

tookin took injune, took in june, stalking took injune, stalking video circulated online showing moroccan and spanish border guards and violent clashes with african migrants. 24 people died in the incident and dozens more are still missing. it happened where morocco meets spain, at the top of the african continent, on the border surrounding the spanish enclave of melilla, seen as a gateway to europe. at the time, moroccan officials said the deaths happened in a crowd crush, but africa eye has gathered testimonies from survivors, verified dozens of videos and gained exclusive access to the border post to uncover new evidence about the tragedy on the 24th ofjune. courtney bembridge has this report, and just to warn you, there are distressing images from the outset of courtney's report. this was one of the deadliest days on europe's borders. for months, africa eye has been searching for the truth about what happened here.
7:36 pm
we sifted through dozens of videos like this and met people who survived. translation: i hope our voices are heard. | the clashes started on 23rd june, when moroccan security forces dispersed people from nearby migrant camps. the next day, up to 2000 people stormed the border fences. many had fled conflict in sudan. they were hoping to make it to europe to claim asylum. instead, there was unprecedented violence. for their safety, we're protecting the identity of those still in morocco. translation: that is _ when we understood that it is better to climb the fence — even if we would not make it all the way, it is better than getting hit in the head. once over the first fence, the migrants found themselves trapped. they told us security forces blocked their path out and continued
7:37 pm
to fire tear gas and smoke bombs towards them. panic set in and there was a crush of people. now we've got breaking news because finally, we can monitorjair bolsonaro arriving at the presidential palace in brasilia. will he conceded that election on sunday, where lula da silva won 50.9% of the vote? mr bolsonaro won 49.1. an extremely tight margin the question is, will he concede and accept defeat?
7:38 pm

7:40 pm
the left. he said as a citizen, he will keep fulfilling the constitution. he says it's an honour to be a leader of all brazilians. he defends the economics freedoms, their religious freedoms, honesty and the brazilian flag colours. that is all he said. so, he has not conceded defeat to president lula, and he also did not seem to condemn the protests and the blockades that are happening in highways all over the country. again, he said that those protests have been happening out of a feeling of indignation by his supporters with the electoral
7:41 pm
process. he did not provide any sort of reason for this indignation, he did not say, he did not outright say that this process was a fraud. this will be extremely _ that this process was a fraud. this will be extremely frustrating because he has not clearly conceded. he's not made a statement conceding. he's not made a statement conceding. he said he's always aided by the constitution, and we know he said, he thanks the brazilian voters, but the frustration here is that we know that the supreme courtjudges in brazil, they refused to meet jair bolsonaro until he makes a public statement acknowledging his defeat. he has not clearly done that, so there'll an awful lot of concern going forward as to what is
7:42 pm
happening and this will no doubt encourage the people to be protesting. we'rejust encourage the people to be protesting. we're just getting information that the brazil chief of staff says they will begin the process of transitioning with president lula. so, although we had not a clear conception of power or an acceptance, the chief of staff seems to be taking this as an opportunity to try and calm the situation, i guess. there are concerns about those people who are still out walking roads and the chief of staff is saying they will begin the process of transition with president lula, who will become president in president lula, who will become president i— president lula, who will become -residenti , . ., president in january. exactly. what bolsonaro president in january. exactly. what itoisonaro says _ president in january. exactly. what bolsonaro says in _ president in january. exactly. what bolsonaro says in the _ president in january. exactly. what bolsonaro says in the end - president in january. exactly. what bolsonaro says in the end is i president in january. exactly. what bolsonaro says in the end is he i president in january. exactly. what bolsonaro says in the end is he did| bolsonaro says in the end is he did not outright and bolsonaro says in the end is he did not outrigh—

7:44 pm
so there has been several major disruptions in the country, so that has been interpreted as a condemnation from presidentjair condemnation from president jair bolsonaro, condemnation from presidentjair bolsonaro, but he hasn't outright asked the protesters to stop the blockades in the highways of. the su - reme blockades in the highways of. the supreme court has described these protests as an attack on democracy. they've ordered the forces to act, and we know in some areas, riot police have been firing tear gas to try to remove those roadblocks. we were hearing from katy watson, supporters ofjair were hearing from katy watson, supporters of jair bolsonaro still out on the streets. judges refusing to meet mr bolsonaro until he makes a public statement acknowledging his defeat in the weekend's election. he's not done that. but we are getting acknowledgement from brazil's chief of staff a transition

7:46 pm
now, what we heard thanks to your translating of what jair bolsonaro was not at all. not only his government members have been in touch, but many of his political allies, elected governors who were his allies and campaigned with him. even religious leaders, evangelical leaders who have openly and fervently campaigned for him have also said on social media that they will respect the will of the brazilian people, that they are open to working with the new president and that this should stop here. but the president himself still hasn't conceded, so again, this is something that's very important, especially in a country that's been divided — a division that's been divided — a division that starts inside the houses and ends in the streets. it's important
7:47 pm
for the president, the message that he sends, and so far the president has silenced about his own thoughts. what we see now is not an outright condemnation. of this divisive act which many are calling an attempt of a coup, really. which many are calling an attempt of a coop. really-— a coup, really. absolutely critical when a country _ a coup, really. absolutely critical when a country is _ a coup, really. absolutely critical when a country is so _ a coup, really. absolutely critical when a country is so divided. i a coup, really. absolutely critical| when a country is so divided. the margins were so, so narrow. we know that thanks to camilla costa, translating simultaneously for us as jair bolsonaro came out, finally spoke since the results. yet we didn't hear a clear concession, which means those people who support jair bolsonaro will potentially continue to stay out on the streets.
7:48 pm
we will be getting an update from katy watson, who is in sao paulo, amongst some of the larger groups, to find out what their reaction is from jair bolsonaro's address. no clear concession, however the chief of staff saying transition process is taking place. stay with us. the british government is facing growing calls to raise more money from the windfall tax on energy firms, after bp became the latest oil giant to report a huge rise in global profits. between july and september this year, bp made $8.2 billion — that's £7.1 billion. the figure is more than double that for the same three months last year, driven by higher prices resulting from russia's invasion of ukraine.
7:49 pm
this chart gives you an idea of how far bp's profits have soared in the past year or so. bp has confirmed that it expects to pay $800 million in uk windfall tax this year, after it was introduced by rishi sunak in may, when he was chancellor. here's our business correspondent, caroline davies, on that and why shell won't be paying it. they are saying that they are going to be paying that over the course of the seven months that this windfall tax has been in place in the uk. what we did here last week was that shell are not paying windfall tax, what we did hear last week was that shell are not paying windfall tax, and that is because there is a clause that rishi sunak set out which means that you can offset that tax on investments. so, if they are investing in north sea oil, then they don't necessarily need to be paying that amount of tax. some analysts say the windfall tax should be far higher. they should be paying more because it's not about, in absolute terms, what they're paying. it will sound like a big number because they're making even more massive profits.
7:50 pm
what matters is whether or not they're paying their fair share, and that's something you judge by how much they're being taxed in other countries. and the uk, even with a windfall tax, taxes oil and gas companies like bp at a rate that is below the global average tax rate. now, the uk treasury says the windfall tax is expected to raise £17 billion, or almost $20 billion, this year and next "to help fund cost of living support for 8 million people". but here's the reaction of the shadow climate change secretary. ed miliband says bp's profits are damning evidence of the failure of the tories to levy a proper windfall tax. he says rishi sunak should be hanging his head in shame that he has left billions of windfall profits in the pockets of oil and gas firms during an energy crisis. let me just remind you that a year ago, this man — bp's chief executive bernard looney — described his company as "a cash
7:51 pm
machine at these types of prices". bp is not alone in making staggering profits, thanks to surging oil and gas prices. this is the saudi oil giant aramco, which reported its second highest ever third—quarter earnings overnight. it made more than $42 billion in the three months. and this is how that stacks up with some other global oil companies. in the us, exxonmobil made $20 billion and chevron $12.2 billion. profits at norway's equinor came in at $24.3 billion, while shell's earnings more than doubled to $9.5 billion. well, president biden has threatened energy companies with a windfall tax and urged them to increase production to bring down prices, accusing them of profiteering from russia's invasion of ukraine. the problem with corporations i turning a fair profit and getting a i have no problem with
7:52 pm
corporations turning i i have no problem with - corporations turning corporations turning a fair profit and getting a fair return on their investment and innovation, but this is not. remotely what's happening. oil companies' record profits today are not because - they're doing something new or innovative. i their profits are a windfall of war. this was the scene at downing street today asjust stop oil activists tried to climb the gates, as part of a high—profile campaign to halt new oil and gas exploration in the uk. a number of protesters were dragged away by police. the group says eight others were arrested on monday after a number of buildings, including the bank of england, were doused in orange paint. we can speak to the chief executive of the uk sustainable investment and finance association, james alexander. james, we see the protesters. talk us through what you make of the profits amounts by bp and this idea of the windfall tax.— of the windfall tax. thanks for havin: of the windfall tax. thanks for having me- — of the windfall tax. thanks for having me. the _ of the windfall tax. thanks for having me. the prophets i of the windfall tax. thanks for having me. the prophets are l

7:54 pm
get a break if you invest in the green future, if you invest in renewables and creating your company fit to achieve and deliver the transition in energy that we need, it's exactly where we need to go. the most effective way to address that crisis is to do two things. do a massive countrywide programme to make our really energy inefficient buildings that we have in this country much more efficient. that can be paid for with profitable and full tax. the second thing is to make sure we transition to renewable technology and energy, and these companies have the ability to do it. that's the sort of thing that can incentivised them to do that. that will make these companies viable. they have a very limited shelf life and we want to make sure these companies have a future. just and we want to make sure these companies have a future.- and we want to make sure these companies have a future. just in a sentence because _ companies have a future. just in a sentence because we _ companies have a future. just in a sentence because we don't i companies have a future. just in a sentence because we don't have l companies have a future. just in a i sentence because we don't have much time, what would you advise to these huge companies. encourage them to

television exit polls to be announced very shortly. this is the liquid party... when we get an indication of that, hopefully we will bring that to you. good evening. it has been a mild october. but it's also been a little wetter than average across england, wales and scotland. in northern ireland, we find 50% more rain that we would normally see. for the whole of the uk, november started on a wet note. the next real deep area of low pressure running in for tomorrow, it drags its heels across southern and eastern areas before clearing into the starter friday to allow a brief ridge of high pressure and drier weather. these are the rainfall totals over the next few days. it's quite clear that most parts of the
7:57 pm
uk will see some significant rainfall between now and the end of the week. it's in the form of showers at the moment. some of them are heavy and thundery, but by the time we get past midnight, we should start to dampen down the winds. there should be a little bit of mist and fog forming, and a chillier night. we could start the morning very dewey, but in russia's that deep area of low pressure to bring some wet weather, but also widely windy weather across the uk, so pretty miserable for the rush hour. the rain might take most of the day before reaching east anglia, but that wetter weather spells its way eastwards. we could have several hours of quite intense rains. it's mild for most of us, but there will be those lively winds. 40—50 mph gusts. that low pressure takes its

rain into the north sea, but the weather front remains slow—moving. it could well be with us through tomorrow evening, tomorrow night and thursday. uncertainty how quickly it will clear away, and the other notable feature is that temperatures will be down. and they'll stay that way on friday. it looks like the dry state of the week because come saturday, we've got the next area of low pressure. it is going to be pretty nasty with somewhat and windy weather on the way for wednesday. warnings on the website.

talk is through with these exit polls mean to us, tom? three television _ polls mean to us, tom? three television channels _ polls mean to us, tom? three television channels that i polls mean to us, tom? three television channels that have i television channels that have published exit polls. at the moment, this is preliminary and remember these are alwaysjust this is preliminary and remember these are always just a projection. this is based on a sample that has come out. voted to leaving the exit polls, a couple of hours ago. but can the public broadcaster at the moment is putting mr netanyahu's right wind religious block on 62 seats. that would be more than half the seat, that would give his rival religious block a majority of two. meanwhile, the incumbent prime minister, the coalition that he has been leading so far will be way down on 54 seats with the israeli party and another four. on 54 seats with the israeli party and anotherfour. but on 54 seats with the israeli party and another four. but if he couldn't get their support, that still wouldn't take them up to the
8:03 pm
necessary 66. that one public broadcaster exit poll at the moment giving mr netanyahu the lead in a potential majority and the ability to form a coalition in this that the election in four years. remember, these are projections, they are based on a sample of voters and they do to change this evening as we go on, more voting data. we have to be really cautious about over interpreting them. that will be welcome news to mr netanyahu. mr netanyahu, israel's longest—serving neta nyahu, israel's longest—serving prime netanyahu, israel's longest—serving prime minister, it does that mean that we will see him, as you mentioned, this is that that the election in four years, the previous government failed to bring people together, that fell apart. what does this mean for mr netanyahu and israel? will he be leading this country once again?—
8:04 pm
israel? will he be leading this country once again? well, if that's exit oll country once again? well, if that's exit poll is — country once again? well, if that's exit poll is correct, _ country once again? well, if that's exit poll is correct, particularly i exit poll is correct, particularly the public broadcast that i mentioned, if it stays that way overnight, and remember the exit polls do change. the predictions they make change. these are not counted votes, the exit polls are just suggesting, if that was the case, he would be in a strong position to form a new government, a right—wing religious coalition block. and we were there for the end of this very ideologically diverse coalition that has kept him out of power for over a year. coalition that has kept him out of powerfor over a year. now coalition that has kept him out of power for over a year. now the coalition that has kept him out of powerfor over a year. now the likud party headquarters here. you can hear their partyjingle starting up at the moment. although, as you can see, no real celebrations at all, it's been very muted here. we haven't seen party activates in the hole so far. and i think that also gives you a sense of the way there will be a lot of caution over the way this is being interpreted. we have seen exit polls suggest one
8:05 pm
thing in the past and this happened in the election last year, by the end of the night, it was something slightly different. so we have to wait and see, but i think as they say at the moment, mr netanyahu is probably going to be welcoming these exit poll results.— exit poll results. 0k, as always, many thanks _ exit poll results. 0k, as always, many thanks for _ exit poll results. 0k, as always, many thanks for copy _ exit poll results. 0k, as always, many thanks for copy adding i exit poll results. 0k, as always, i many thanks for copy adding that. the first exit poll from public news suggesting that. as and when we get a few more of the concrete polls coming in. we will come back in to time to get a bit more analysis over what this means for benjamin netanyahu seeking that to come back. it can be a record six term in office. at that initial exit poll suggesting that netanyahu's block, the allied party, potentially taking 62 seats. but as time correctly set, critical to say that these are exit

polls. things do we will gall more rare you more rare get it. you more we get it. tloyy. bring you more when we get it. now, turning to another breaking news story— another election as well. this one from brazil where injust the past hour, the far right presidentialjr boston naro avoided conceding defeat of the leftists lula da silva after being defeated in sunday's presidential election. —— jair bolsonaroj. his comments came more than a day and a half after the loss. well, in his speech mr bolsonaro thanked brazilians who voted for him and said they always abounded by the constitution and would continue to do so. at that, he walked off leaving it unclear whether he was conceding. so protests have been taking place for those supporters of bolsonaro. our south america correspondent is there now. no clear concession. i wonder what that means for those people, his supporters behind you. t

what that means for those people, his supporters behind you. i mean, he didn't acknowledge _ his supporters behind you. i mean, he didn't acknowledge that - his supporters behind you. i mean, he didn't acknowledge that defeat, | he didn't acknowledge that defeat, but neither did he challenge the results. in fact, but neither did he challenge the results. infact, chief but neither did he challenge the results. in fact, chief of staff said they would begin their process of transition. so i think it was two minutes, it was pretty bland. it was certainly not fiery like perhaps a lot of people were expecting or fearing. i mean, people behind me, they obviously, you know, don't agree with the way the results have gone. they are much more vocal about it. most of the roadblock i am on, all of the tracks have been moved on. it'sjust a all of the tracks have been moved on. it's just a few locals that have come in sapporo to say that they don't want to see lula da silva back in power. but i think it is a pretty, it is not a huge amount of people now, certainly the fact that bolsonaro has come out and said this makes me feel that this will probably be a slightly peaceful transition other than what people had feared. . , transition other than what people had feared-— transition other than what people had feared. ., , ., ., , , . had feared. that is one good aspect of it.

8:10 pm
and lula da silva do not see eye to eye, they are absolute enemies. he was never going to concede openly and acknowledge the actual victory. i think the fact that he is not questioning the results either is a relief for so many people here because that will mean that — it will certainly help ease the transition. he didn't talk about the fact that peaceful protest should be within people's rights, and of course, that might be abating —— bit of adding fuel behind me. as he did talk about the fact that peaceful protest should be within people's rights. at the moment there are his loyalists, people who are cross about that, but overall, i think a lot of people would quite like to move on and just move brazil on and wait and see this transition.- wait and see this transition. katie, as always. — wait and see this transition. katie, as always, thank _ wait and see this transition. katie, as always, thank you _ wait and see this transition. katie, as always, thank you very - wait and see this transition. katie, as always, thank you very much i wait and see this transition. katie, | as always, thank you very much for just putting it into context for us. reporting from sao paulo, thank you. let's return to the other election that we broke, of the first
8:11 pm
that we broke, some of the first exit polls that we broke after israel's for election in less than four years, early projections are putting benjamin netanyahu ahead by a slim margin. let's have left at the exit to paul so far which predicts, like i say, benjamin netanyahu, could win a slight majority, 62 of the 20 seats, his main rivals predicted to win 54 seats. , we will cross over and speak to a journalist at the times in his right. you join us from yair party pé continuously gels grad cfincrngfigfls careers adding these are ésie énd tfincrnrafiefls case's erasing these are polls, the that these are exit polls, the figures could slightly change. at our correspondent in the ”a” s as}; that 5121.77.55 % 5:1 5 ., it’j—tat’t’hre’ ”7” z it'emust 1at the mood mafia; a”... e... ”7” z it'emust be the mood mafia; a”... e... subdued. it must be very subdued where . ,

we heard the partyjingle for macro to fire up, but there wasn't much excitement on the whole, because there aren't many activists here. i think that talks to the degree of caution there is and has been around this entire election. it was always known it was going to be tight potentially another deadlock, and what we have are all three of the major israeli broadcasters in their exit polls predicting a very marginal majority for benjamin netanyahu. two of them giving him a two seat majority in another when giving him one seat. but that will be, if that is carried through, enough for him to form a right—wing religious government again in israel. we have to stress exit polls are a projection, just based on a sample of people leaving exit polls and can change as the night goes on. you have to be really careful about not over interpreting them, but that is what they are showing as things stand, so i want to bring in the diplomatic correspondent at the jerusalem post. you have been here

8:31 pm
i will has this story. there are plenty of ways a politician can get that message across and matt hancock has never been one to shun the limelight, even launching his own app. his most prominent role in government was as health secretary during the pandemic. good afternoon and welcome to downing street. his latest challenge involves up to three weeks in the australian outback where tasks include eating insects and animal parts. some conservative colleagues are not impressed. it's clearly wrong to do that while parliament is sitting. what he chooses to use his recess for is a matter member for is a matterfor him. if parliament is sitting, we are elected to serve constituents, that's the job we are there to do. those who lost relatives during the pandemic think he should be concentrating on the public inquiry into how it was handled. to say i'm angry would be an understatement. i think it is a disgrace. i think he is shameless in his very
8:32 pm
ideal obvious attempts to rehabilitate his public image. the prime minister overlooked mr hancock when he put together his new team last week. friends say he doesn't expect to return to government, so this is a way to show the human side of politics and promote his dyslexia campaign to millions of viewers. kezia dugdale was a member of the scottish parliament when she appeared on the programme. i never went in thinking - i was going to get celebrities talking about tax policy around the fireplace but i thought - there was a chance we might be able to talk about politics or some - of the big issues. there is an opportunity for him to talk about an issue - and that could be something like his own dyslexia, - it could be really empowering. and really helpful and comforting for people around the country, but it is undoubtedly a very- risky decision for him. mr hancock's at ministerial career was ruined by bad publicity gina coladangelo and had to resign for breaking covid lockdown rules. so will a stint in the jungle help or hinder his career? it did not do nadine
8:33 pm
dorries any harm. she was suspended from the parliamentary conservative party for a few months, but later became culture secretary. and penny mordaunt made a splash on another tv show and she is now in the cabinet after standing as leader. but what do mr hancock's constituents in west suffolk think? he's not taking the job very seriously, you know what i mean? being in politics and going on telly and acting a clown. he needs to look after the country before he does all that stuff. it's ridiculous. i think it's a shame he thinks that's a better use of time than serving his constituents. i'm not sure why that';s his priority. some colleagues are not surprised and say there is no stopping the former health secretary's desire for publicity. limit opec has been talking to jane hill about his time on reality tv,
