the crisis continues at the overflowing uk migrant centre. an asylum seeker says the conditions are like those of a prison camp. live from our studio in singapore, this is bbc news. it's newsday. it's 7am in the morning in singapore and 8pm at night in brazil, where the far—right president jair bolsonaro has finally broken his silence after being defeated in sunday's election. he didn't mentioned his rival, luis inacio lula da silva, who won the vote by a narrow margin. and there was no acknowledgement of defeat. but he did not contest the result either. it follows two days of protest

from his supporters, where truck drivers blocked roads in all but two states, causing widespread disruption. let's take a listen to what he had to say. translation: i want to start by thanking the 58 million - brazilians who voted for me on october 30. the current popular movement are the result of indignation and a feeling of injustice on how the electoral process took place. peaceful demonstrations will always be welcome, but our methods cannot be those of the left, which have always harmed the population, such as invasion of property, destruction of heritage and restricting freedom of movement. so how have his comments been received? our south america correspondent katy watson brought us the latest from sao paulo. it's taken nearly two days, butjair bolsonaro has finally spoken.

it was a short but sweet speech, just two minutes. in it, he said... he thanked the voters. he also didn't acknowledge defeat, but neither did he say he would contest the results either, and in fact his chief of staff said that they would start the process of transition, and i think that's what a lot of people were concerned about — what jair bolsonaro would say, whether he would contest the results. he talked about the fact that he would obey the constitution. but i'm outside one of what was a roadblock. that's now been cleared. many of his loyal supporters blocked the roads across the country, in protest at the results. but speaking to people here, even though the police have broken up the roadblocks, they are not going anywhere. they say that they do not want lula back in power. they don't seem to even care what jair bolsonaro has said. for them, having the workers�* party,

lula, back in power is something that they can't even contemplate, so that's going to be the biggest challenge now. lula is going to start the transition, he's already got a team in place who will be working with bolsonaro�*s administration for a smooth transition so that he can take power at the beginning ofjanuary, but there is certainly not going to be that unity here in brazil. i think lula's biggest task will be trying to unite such a divided country after such a narrow election victory. the former israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu could be returning to power, according to exit polls after today's elections. the polls, which estimate the outcome before official results, give mr netanyahu's right—wing group a slim majority of seats. if the polls are correct, it would be a dramatic comeback for mr netanyahu, who was ousted last year after 12 years in office. i'm joined now by our middle east correspondent tom bateman in jerusalem. so dennis up to date. how close are we

to getting those official results? is going to take some time for all the votes to be counted. that happens overnight. but what we have had, as you say, are those exit polls from three national broadcasters in israel, so they are projecting that mr netanyahu will win, that his parliamentary block will get that razor thin majority, he has been after, to be able to form a new coalition government. now that would be a return to power for mr netanyahu after more than a year in opposition, and also, crucially, one of the key dynamics we have seen during this election campaign is a surgeon supports for the extremist ultranationalist far right who would form part of his coalition block. the exit polls are putting that group on 14 or 15 seats. it would make them the third—biggest party in israeli politics, an unprecedented level of support for the far right, and if mr netanyahu does strike that

victory eventually, they would almost certainly, the leaders of that group, seats in his cabinet —— get seats in his cabinet support so if it is confirmed that he is coming back to power, what does it mean politically? we have already heard from palestinian prime minister saying that this election proves they have no peace partner. initially, it is going to see a return to mr netanyahu's brand of politics. we have had over a year, for the first time in more than a decade, that he has not been the prime minister. so we had an anti—netanyahu coalition, led anti—neta nyahu coalition, led personal anti—netanyahu coalition, led personal by naftali bennett, a former allies of his who defected, and then more recently by yair lapid. the problem with that coalition was the thing about it together at the most was his desire together at the most was his desire to keep mr netanyahu out of office. now, ideologically, it wasjust emily unable to hold together, it

suffered from defections back to mr netanyahu. they fell apart. but if mr netanyahu is back in office, we are going to see a return to his right ring religious block brand of politics, and that is what he is talked about during this campaign, but that big difference will be if there is that far—right party in government post up they could be getting ministerial seats. some are speculative the firebrand leader of one of the parties could become the minister of internal security, having control over institutions like the police in israel and having to make very, very crucial decisions over its use of security, over its use of the occupied palestinian territories. many fear that, use of the occupied palestinian territories. many fearthat, in intimate coalition are talking about this trip of people in their view being what is described as pyro maniacs that they fear would set the country on fire. maniacs that they fear would set the country on fire-— maniacs that they fear would set the country on fire. tom bateman, thank ou so country on fire. tom bateman, thank you so much — country on fire. tom bateman, thank you so much for— country on fire. tom bateman, thank you so much for that _ country on fire. tom bateman, thank you so much for that update. - an asylum seeker who was sent to the overflowing centre at manston in the uk told the bbc tonight

that it was like being held in a prison camp. the former airforce base is being used as a temporary shelter for migrants arriving in small boats from france. during the day, coaches have taken people from manston to other accommodation, after officials described conditions there as "wretched", with outbreaks of disease and incidents of violence. the home secretary suella braverman has been strongly criticised in recent days — she's accused of allowing the situation to get much worse. our home affairs correpsondent daniel sandford reports. finally being driven out of the manston processing centre this afternoon, some of the first migrants to leave since the number there hit 4,000. they were taken to a hotel near heathrow, where they got off the coach carrying blue plastic bags of belongings. tonight, one of those at the hotel —

ahmed, who left manston yesterday — described the difficult conditions he'd endured there over three weeks. ahmed is not his real name. he wanted to remain anonymous for his own safety. translation: i slept on the floor. a lot of people were there. in one big tent, there were maybe 130 people. it was cold, we can't go to the toilet, we can't take a shower, take a bath, we don't have any clothes. we are not animals. you can't eat or sleep, and i couldn't call my family to tell them i was ok. it was like a zoo. the makeshift processing centre at manstons is about 20 miles from dover. up to a thousand 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 as the number headed towards 4,000, it became horribly overcrowded and some migrants have spent 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 immigration minister said the number of migrants at manston had fallen substantially today and the home office was doing everything it could to return the centre to sustainable operations. what we have to do at manston is ensure that it returns to a well—run, compassionate, humane site which can manage around i,000—2,000 individuals. at the moment, it's got significantly more than that. we're working intensely now every day to reduce that population. natasha 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. when 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 a break—out. the numbers being held here at manston are starting to reduce as migrants are moved away from here by coach. but ministers still seem unable to reduce the numbers crossing the channel in the first place. sunday's firebomb attack on the migrant processing centre in dover is 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 hate—filled grievance may have been behind but was a targeted attack. the high winds in the channel today meant that no migrants were daring the high winds in the channel today meant there were no migrant small boat crossings, bringing some short—term relief

to a system that successive home secretaries have now described as broken. daniel sandford, bbc news, dover. the host of this year's 620, the indonesian president joko widodo, has told the bbc he is hopeful that grain deal between russia and the international community will restart on an official basis. russia halted its backing for the deal on saturday, accusing ukraine of using a safety corridor to attack its fleet. but western officials have accused the kremlin of worsening the global food crisis. 0ur chief asia presenter karishma vaswani spoke to the indonesian president injakarta. so have you spoken to president zelensky and president putin recently, to see whether they will talk about the grain deal at the g20? and as the host nation, are you hopeful this issue can be resolved at the summit? translation: yes, if they can come to bali and talk. - i'm sure that the black sea grain initiatives will be continued because, once again, this is about the food security of all people in the world. if it is not happening, we will have hunger, we will have deaths.

this is what we need to avoid. is china's president xijinping going to be at the g20? and will presidentjoe biden and xijinping meet? translation: we do hope the big leaders of the world will meet - and talk with each other in bali. if president xijinping and presidentjoe biden can meet and talk, it will be very beneficial for the world, if, in the meeting, they can have an agreement to help the world recover. so you can confirm that president xijinping will attend the g20 ? translation: yes, president xi jinping confirmed he will attend. | presidentjoe biden also confirmed. the us is gearing up for a major set of elections next week. voters will elect members of congress. it's a cycle, which can change

the balance of power for any sitting us president halfway through their term of office. the elections can have an enormous impact on the direction of the nation. the focus is on several key states, one of them being 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... the audit showed biden won. let me just say one thing. if you think you're going to come over here and tell us how things are operating, you got another thing coming. candidates who deny the legitimacy of the last election are now running for the job of administering the next one, with the power, potentially, to decide which votes count. you are still convinced that the result of the 2020 election was not sound?

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. one of the most preposterous allegations that you would think nobody would give any credence to but that built up a significant 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.

not everyone's glued to the politics, but it's never far away. arizona was once a solidly republican state but, like elsewhere in america, traditional conservatism is now grappling with rapid social change. the myth of this stolen election is all about division and it suggests something fundamental is being lost here — a readiness to accept that people with values that you oppose could ever legitimately win a majority. anybody think we're not in a war? 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. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: south korea's interior minister apologises over tuesday's street crush that killed more than 150 people. the israeli prime minister, yitzhak rabin, the architect of the middle east peace process, has been assassinated. a 27—year—old jewish man has been arrested and an extremistjewish organisation has claimed responsibility for the killing.

at polling booths throughout the country, they voted on a historic day for australia. as the results came in, it was clear, the monarchy would survive. of the american hostages, there was no sign. they are being held somewhere inside the compound, and student leaders have threatened that should the americans attempt rescue, they will all die. this mission has surpassed all expectations. _ voyager one is now the most distant man—made object - anywhere in the universe, - and itjust seems to keep on going. tonight, we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth but from the enduring power of our ideals. this is newsday on the bbc. i'm mariko 0i in singapore. 0ur headlines:

brazil's outgoing president says he will observe the constitution, but jair bolsonaro avoids the words "defeat" and "concession" as he finally breaks his silence. and exit polls in israel suggest former prime minister benjamin netanyahu is set for a record sixth term. but his likud party would share power with the far right. as public outrage grows, south korea's interior minister has apologised over tuesday's street crush that killed more than 150 people. lee sang—min said the government bore "limitless responsibility" and would work to find the cause of incident. all the victims have been identified and memorial altars have been set up at the seoul city hall, where citizens have been paying their respects. jean mackenzie reports. four hours before the deadly crush, people could see the disaster coming.

the first call to police was made around this time. the caller predicts what comes next. people are coming into the alley, but they cannot get out. i barely escaped. it seems like people are going to be crushed to death. by the end of the night, 150 people would be dead. anybody looking at it should have seen that this was an accident waiting to happen. it's just... it really felt like it was so preventable. police today revealed they had taken numerous of these warning calls. this solemn bow from south korea's head of police, an acknowledgement they had failed. "we think our response to those calls was inadequate," he says, "and i bear a heavy responsibility."

the other question is why police were not sent ahead of time to control what was expected to be an enormous crowd. because these young people gathered spontaneously, it was not clear who was responsible for keeping them safe, and with this came another admission. i agree that there was some deficiency in that crowd management and we will reform and correct. discarded clothes belonging to the dead are still in the gym where their bodies were first taken. "this tragedy will be a lesson," south korea's prime minister said, "for us to change and become a safer country." it is unlikely these were the only mistakes. jean mackenzie, bbc news.

0fficials officials say most of the people on the bridge have now been accounted for. —— the indian prime minister, narendra modi, has visited the western state of gujarat, where more than 140 people died after a bridge collapsed on sunday. he stood at one end of the recently renovated suspension bridge as he was shown where the crossing had collapsed into

the river machchhu. divers are continuing to search for the remains of victims. officials say most of the people who were on the bridge have now been accounted for. on sunday, the 27th annual un climate conference — cop27 — begins in egypt. ahead of the summit, i've been speaking to francesco la camera, director—general of the international renewable energy agency, an organisation that promotes transition to sustainable energy. with much of asia still relying on fossil fuels for their economic development, i began by asking him if he understood why some countries in the region felt they were being unfairly targeted when it came to transitioning to renewable energy. nowadays, what is the most economical way? these countries have difficulties. this is the reason for us working together with them, countries in southeast asia, and to build this new regional energy transition 0utlook, where we can indicate the way forward for making develop impossible, at the same time going for an energy system. in this context naturally, what is important as they developed countries come to support this effort, so these, when we discuss the aspirations of the cop27, the cooperation is important. some countries like china have been investing quite heavily in it. are you happy with some of the progress

made here in asia and the government's commitment, involvement, investments in the renewable technologies? i involvement, investments in the renewable technologies?- renewable technologies? i think - ro . ress renewable technologies? i think progress has — renewable technologies? i think progress has been _ renewable technologies? i think progress has been made, - renewable technologies? i think progress has been made, and l renewable technologies? i think - progress has been made, and there is no doubt where we are going. in fact, all countries in the world, through their commitment and also through their commitment and also through their commitment and also through their action, are moving to a new energy system. this is undoubtable. we're going to systems that be dominated by renewables, complement it by hydrogen and the sustainably served biomass. the problem that we have is not the direction of travel. the problem is the speed and the scale of this transformation. it does not bring us today in line with the pierce agreement, so we need

—— paris agreement, so we need a strong acceleration. if i could give you a number of this could be simplified. now we are assisting a new record of capacity, year after year, so it has gone to ten, 20%. that 10% is good, but is not enough. we need to triple the investment in the world. this is the sense how disruptive it could be, the change that we need. that was francesco la camera, speaking to me earlier. before we go, we will leave you with a treat. thousands of new yorkers flocked to flaunt their most extravagant costumes at the village halloween parade. floats, performance artists

and giant puppets all made their way through the streets of downtown manhattan for the 49th annual parade. this year's theme was freedom and saw people dressed in ghostly gowns as creepy creatures and flourescent teddy bear costumes. incredible costumes! that is it for the show. thanks for watching. hello. well, the met office have confirmed that it was another very warm month across the country, and october in england was the fourth—warmest october on record. but quite alarmingly, we're now seeing some of the warmest conditions on record, taking the year as a whole to date. as for rainfall, well, we needed the rain, but it's only northern ireland which was significantly above average. but for the first few days of november, our rainfall accumulation chart shows that all of us will see some pretty wet weather. the darker colours in the south show

some welcome rain to come here. but it's notjust wet, some windy weather, and especially during the next 24 hours. widespread gales across the country, and in this hatched area, we could see potentially damaging and disruptive gusts of wind of 50—70 mph, all tied in with this approaching and deepening area of low pressure. now, before it arrives, a little ridge there which indicates a quiet end to the night. a few mist and fog patches, a lot of dry weather, just a few showers in the south and the west, but a rather chilly start compared to what we've been used to — 2—3 celsius in some sheltered glens in scotland. lots of sunshine, though, through scotland, england, wales to begin with. northern ireland cloudy, already turning windy, increasingly wet through the morning, some heavy rain at times sliding into western scotland and through the afternoon to wales and western parts of england. much of eastern england, though, will stay dry until later in the day, with some sunny spells. temperatures here around 15—16 celsius in the southeast, but it will feel cooler than that in the north and the west as those winds pick up. in fact, it's going to get windier as the day goes through. just an example of some of the gusts by mid—afternoon, 40—50, close to 60 mph, maybe a little bit more as we head into the evening. heavy rain sweeping across all of england. strongest winds overnight to take us

into thursday across central and northern parts of scotland. winds easing a little bit later. and the clearer skies that some will see to the north and west into thursday morning, again down into single figure temperatures. milder in the southeast. and this is where the big question mark for thursday will be. the weather front may just drag its heels, bringing bursts of rain northwards and eastwards as we go through thursday, east anglia, the southeast, and the channel islands. away from that, though, more likely to see sunny spells develop, a scattering of showers, some of those heavy towards the south and west, and the temperatures 10—13 celsius. feeling cool compared to what we've been used to, but that's where we should be for this stage in november and the sort of temperatures we'll see through friday and into the weekend. friday, the driest day of the week most widely. saturday, of course, bonfire night, rain will be pushing its way in and some strong winds, too. bye for now.

hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are sam lister, who's the political editor at the daily express, and jessica elgot, the deputy political editor for the guardian. you're both very welcome, thank you forjoining us. let's have a run—through the front pages. the guardian leads with an exclusive — they claim that the government has
