being what they described as pyromaniacs that they feared would set the country on fire. the new owner of twitter, elon musk, has announced plans for a monthly charge for users who want a blue tick by their name to say their account is verified. welcome to newsday. in a series of tweets, reporting live from he said participants would also singapore, i'm mariko oi. get a number of other perks. the headlines: brazil's outgoing president, jair bolsonaro, refuses to acknowledge defeat but says he will respect the constitution. i'm joined now by our north america correspondent exit polls in israel's in los angeles, peter bowes. thanks forjoining us on the election suggest former programme. i guess it has been prime minister benjamin netanyahu is set to win rumoured, but now many people a record sixth term. are saying they probably would but his likud party will share power with not pay this money, and i guess the religious right—wing. the question is, what would be the question is, what would be the impact if fewer people are elon musk continues his verified, especially when we shake—up of twitter, suggesting that users will need have all this fake news and to pay for the coveted disinformation problems? it is blue tick given disinformation problems? it is a hue disinformation problems? it is a huge debate, _ disinformation problems? it 3 a huge debate, and that to verified accounts. disinformation problems? it 1 a huge debate, and that debate is taking place right now on twitter. what exactly this means, but the applications are the crisis continues at the overflowing uk migrant centre. for those people who wants to an asylum seeker says the conditions are like continue to have a blue tick those of a prison camp. next to their name, and it is

probably worth describing in a live from our studio in singapore, this is bbc news. little bit more detail, for it's newsday. those many people who are not on twitter, what exactly that looks like. it is essentially a tick, a white tick on a blue background, which is confusing to some, that shows that you are verified, that you are who you say you are, whether you're a journalist — there is a tick it's 8am in the morning here next to my name, a tick next to in singapore and 9pm in brazil, where the far—right president your name — whether you are a jair bolsonaro has finally broken his silence after being politician, whether you're the defeated in sunday's election. he didn't mentioned his rival, chief of a public department luis inacio lula da silva, who won the vote by a narrow like the police, so in los margin, and stopped short angeles for example, the lapd of conceding but said he would have a tick next to their name, information they tweet out is respect the constitution. reliable. that is why it is very significant to a lot of his comments followed two days people. the big complaint, and of protest from his supporters, where truck drivers blocked it is interesting that elon roads in all but two states, musk describes himself as the causing widespread disruption. let's take a listen complaint hotline operator for twitter, lots of people to what he had to say. complaining about this, thinking they do not have to translation: i want to start spend $8 a monthjust thinking they do not have to spend $8 a month just to get that tick when they have so far by thanking the 58 million - managed to get it for nothing.

brazilians who voted for me on october 30. but i guess this is a very the current popular movement are the result of indignation and a feeling of injustice uncertain time for twitter on how the electoral process took place. employees because there were peaceful demonstrations also rumours ofjob cuts, also will always be welcome, uncertain times for users, then? . , . ., but our methods cannot be those of the left, which have always then? yeah, very uncertain times for— then? yeah, very uncertain times for everyone. - then? yeah, very uncertain times for everyone. just. then? yeah, very uncertain harmed the population, times for everyone. just to | such as invasion of property, times for everyone. just to explain why elon musk actually destruction of heritage and restricting wants to do this, he says there freedom of movement. are a couple of reasons. one, probably the biggest reason, twitter has to make money and it has not made money for many so how have his comments been received? years, and he says it is also our south america correspondent katy watson gave us moved straight to get rid of the latest from sao paulo. scam and spam on twitter feeds, which again is a huge problem it's taken nearly two for a lot of people, not being days, butjair bolsonaro has finally spoken. able to rely on what they see, it was a short but sweet and he wants to in some ways speech, just two minutes. in it, he said... clean house, buy, it seems, he thanked the voters. he also didn't acknowledge starting again with these blue ticks. he has also tweeted, to defeat, but neither did he say more confusion, that there will he would contest the results either, and in fact his chief of staff said that they would start the process be a secondary tick under some of transition, and i think people's names, and that will be specifically for those high—profile individuals like

that's what a lot of people politicians, but it is not entirely clear how these two were concerned about — what jair bolsonaro would tics will work side by side. say, whether he would contest the results. he talked about the fact that peter bowes, thank you so much he would obey the constitution. but i'm outside one for that update. of what was a roadblock. that's now been cleared. many of his loyal supporters blocked the roads across the country, in protest the host of this year's 620, at the results. the indonesian president but speaking to people here, joko widodo, has told the bbc even though the police have broken up the roadblock, he is hopeful that grain deal between russia they are not going anywhere. and the international community they say that they do not will restart on an official basis. russia halted its backing want lula back in power. for the deal on saturday, accusing ukraine of using they don't seem to even care a safety corridor to attack its fleet. what jair bolsonaro has said. but western officials for them, having the workers�* have accused the kremlin of worsening the global food crisis. party, lula, back in power our chief asia presenter karishma vaswani spoke is something that they can't to the indonesian president even contemplate, so that's going to be the biggest challenge now. injakarta. lula is going to start the transition, he's already so have you spoken to president zelensky got a team in place who will be and president putin recently, working with bolsonaro�*s administration for a smooth to see whether they will transition so that he can take talk about the grain power at the beginning of january, but there deal at the g20? is certainly not going to be that unity here in brazil. and as the host nation, i think lula's biggest task are you hopeful this issue can will be trying to unite such be resolved at the summit? a divided country after such

a narrow election victory. the former israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu could be returning to power, continued because, once again, this is about the food security according to exit polls after of all people in the world. tuesday's general election. the polls, which estimate if it is not happening, the outcome before official we will have hunger, results, give mr netanyahu's we will have deaths. this is what we need to avoid. right—wing bloc a slim is china's president xijinping majority of seats. going to be at the g20? if they prove correct, and will presidentjoe biden it would be a dramatic comeback for mr netanyahu, who was ousted last year and xijinping meet? after 12 years in office. translation: we do hope the big leaders of the world _ will meet and talk with earlier, i spoke to our each other in bali. middle east correspondent tom bateman injerusalem, if president xijinping who gave us the latest and presidentjoe biden can on the vote count and what a possible netanyahu meet and talk, it will be very victory might mean. beneficial for the world, if, it's going to take some time for in the meeting, they can all the votes to be counted. have an agreement to help that happens overnight. the world recover. 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 bloc 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 joko... ,, speaking dynamics we have seen vaswani. during this election campaign is a surge in support for the extremist ultranationalist far right who would form part in the us midterms. of his coalition bloc. the israeli prime minister, yitzhak rabin, the architect the exit polls are putting of the middle east peace that group on 14 or 15 seats. it would make them process, has been assassinated. the third—biggest party in israeli politics, jewish organisation has claimed an unprecedented level responsibility for the killing. of support for the far right, and if mr netanyahu does scrape that victory eventually, they would almost certainly, the leaders of that group, of the american hostages, get seats in his cabinet. so if it is confirmed that he's coming back to power, what does it mean politically? we have already heard from the palestinian prime minister saying that this election there was no sign. proves they have no peace partner.

i think, initially, to keep on going. 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 first tonight, we proved once more by naftali bennett, that the true strength of our nation comes not a former ally of his who defected, and then more from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth but from the enduring power of our ideals. recently by yair lapid. the problem with that coalition was the thing that bound it together the most was its desire to keep this is newsday on the bbc. mr netanyahu out of office. i'm mariko oi in singapore. now, ideologically, it wasjust simply unable to hold together, our headlines: it suffered from defections back to mr netanyahu. brazil's outgoing president they fell apart. says he will observe the constitution, but jair bolsonaro avoids but if mr netanyahu is back the words "defeat" and in office, we are going to see �*concession�* as he finally breaks his silence. a return to his right—wing religious bloc brand of politics, and that is what he's talked about during this campaign. but that big difference will and exit polls in israel be, if there is that far—right suggest former prime minister

party in government, benjamin netanyahu is set they could be getting for a record sixth term. ministerial seats. but his likud party would share some are speculating that power with the far right. a firebrand leader of one of the parties could become an asylum seeker who was the minister of internal sent to the overcrowded centre at manston in the uk security, having control over has told the bbc that institutions like the police in israel and having to make it was like being held very, very crucial decisions over its use of security, in a prison camp. over its use of the occupied the former air force base palestinian territories. in kent is being used now, many fear that, as a temporary shelter for migrants arriving in small boats from france. and the incumbent coalition 00:07:21,009 --> 2147483051:40:25,218 have talked about this group 2147483051:40:25,218 --> 4294966103:13:29,429 of people, in their view, during tuesday, coaches took 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. 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 manston 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 near future. 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 what was a targeted attack. the high winds and rough seas 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 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. i spoke 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, going forward, what is the most economical way to have electricity in the grid? naturally, these countries have difficulties. this is the reason for us for working together with them, countries in south east asia, to build this new regional energy transition outlook, where we can indicate a way forward for making development impossible and at the same time —— forward for making development possible and at the same time going for a clean energy system. in this context, naturally, what is important is the developed countries come to support these efforts, so this is the need when we discuss the aspirations for the cop27. the way the cooperation works has to be rewritten. when it comes to renewable energy that you've been talking about, some countries in asia — like china — have been investing quite heavily in it.

are you happy with some of the progress made here in asia and the governments' commitment, involvement, investments in the renewable technologies? i think progress has been made, and there is no doubt where we are going. so, in fact, all countries in the world, through their commitment but also through their action, are moving — together with the market, perhaps the most profitable push in this moment — to a new energy system. this is undoubtable. so we're going to a system that would be dominated by renewables, complemented by hydrogen and the sustainable use of the biomass. the problem that we have is not the direction of travel. we are going in the right direction. the problem is the speed and the scale of this transformation. it does not bring us today in line with the paris agreement, so we need, really, a strong acceleration. could be simplified,

now we are assisting a new record of renewable capacity, year after year. so it has grown io%, 20%. the fact is that 10% is good, but it's not enough. we need to triple the investment in the world. this is the sense... ..the change that we need. 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 correspondentjohn 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. before we go, we'll leave you with a halloween treat — or perhaps a trick? thousands of new yorkers flaunted 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 bears. that is it for the show. thank you so much for watching newsday. 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.

this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines and all the main news stories for you at the top of the hour, as newsday continues — straight after hardtalk. welcome to hardtalk, i'm stephen sackur. russia's invasion of ukraine has generated all kinds of shock waves military, humanitarian, economic and nuclear. leave aside putin's dark hints about russia's readiness to contemplate first use of a nuclear weapon, russian forces still occupy europe's biggest nuclear power
