problem. suella braverman has been criticised for saying southern england is facing an invasion of illegal migrants. in the last few minutes the albanian prime minister has condemned the home secretary and her quote, insane and easy rhetoric of targeting his citizens. in a series of tweets he said that she must stop discriminating against albanians to excuse policy failures during the migration crisis in the uk. let's get more on this with our political correspondent david wallace lockhart who's in central lobby in the commons for us now. the home secretary has spoken about the number of migrants crossing the channel who are single albanian man

and now this response from the albanian prime minister?- and now this response from the albanian prime minister? when the home secretary _ albanian prime minister? when the home secretary took _ albanian prime minister? when the home secretary took questions - albanian prime minister? when the home secretary took questions on | albanian prime minister? when the i home secretary took questions on the issue earlier that there was talk from conservative backbenchers with many of them feeling there was a high proportion of criminals within albanian men making thisjourney to the uk. and suella braverman and herself on monday said that young single men coming from albania could be part of criminal gangs. or coming here and partaking in criminal activity. while the prime minister of albania has put out a thread on social media hitting back against this. he says targeting albanians as some shamefully did when fighting for brexit, as the cause of crime and border problems in the uk makes for easy rhetoric and ignores hard facts. and he says it is insane to

keep doing the same thing. he goes on to say 70% of the opinion are moved to the uk are business people, many have been living in italy and greece in the uk should fight against gangs of all nationalities and not discriminate against albanians to excuse their policy failures. he goes on to point out that albania is a nato country complete negotiating eu membership and a safe country of origin and says when germany had a similar problem it tightened its own system and that he says that is something the uk should be doing and should not be using this kind of rhetoric about crime coming from albanians. so quite the intervention they are from the prime minister of another country who obviously is not happy with the kind of rhetoric that he is

hearing about his citizens when it comes to allegations that they are travelling to the uk to take part in crime. �* ., . . , _, crime. add more criticism coming from council _ crime. add more criticism coming from council leaders _ crime. add more criticism coming from council leaders who - crime. add more criticism coming from council leaders who say - crime. add more criticism coming from council leaders who say that i from council leaders who say that they are at breaking point because of all this. , . . , they are at breaking point because of allthis. , . . , , of all this. this criticism is closer to _ of all this. this criticism is closer to home, _ of all this. this criticism is closer to home, the - of all this. this criticism is closer to home, the kentl of all this. this criticism is i closer to home, the kent and of all this. this criticism is _ closer to home, the kent and medway council leaders have written to the home secretary and in that letter they say they are breaking, they are at breaking point and bearing the brunt of the numbers we are currently seeing being processed for asylum. they talk about the fact that in those council areas they just cannot take any more children in schools because of the amount that they have to provide education for. they feel there is the potential for disorder at sites in kent because of the numbers being processed and the backlog is that they are currently seeing. they even accuse the government of dropping some albanians in their words at

train stations with no regard for where they go what they do next because they are not claiming asylum at that point. they want a meeting with the home office to discuss all this. and it feels like this is a big problem for the government, we saw them challenged on it for much of prime minister's questions this afternoon. rishi sunak pledging to take action but conceding that after 12 years of his party being in government the system are simply not good enough at the moment and really feels that the pressure if anything is going to ramp up on the government here to try to find some sort of solution to this problem. david, thank you. an asylum seeker, who was recently at the crowded immigration centre, at manston in kent, has told the bbc it was like being held in a prison camp.

when i stayed in this place every day i'm thinking about why i'm here. i don't know. i'm not doing anything wrong. i'm just getting out my country to get freedom. and if you live in this place, you can't sleep, you can't eat. you know, 2a days i stayed in there, for six days i'm fasting because i don't have a lot of food. i can't eat. we can't go to the toilet. we can't take a shower, take a bath. we don't have new clothes. in the one tent, it's like a zoo, i swear. they see us like animals. we have a lot of people sick in there. they have a skin, you know, they have an injury in their skin. they also have a special, like, you know, like high blood pressure, like a heart problem. they can't do anything for this special person, you know. i cried, of course, and a lot of my friends did. they told me when we were coming to our country from there we arrived to a lot of countries. we arrive in the middle of fear and we don't cry at that moment.

but in manston i see my friend, he's crying. i told him, why are you crying? you a strong man, you don't have any stress in there. why are you crying in this place? he told me, i don't have any energy. i'm done. the latest news that the prime minister has decided that he will go to the cop27 climate summit in egypt. to the cop27 climate summit in egypt i to the cop27 climate summit in egypt. i have been getting more from justin rowlatt. he told me about the significance of world leaders attending the summit. he came under considerable pressure from environmentalists and the opposition and also from his own party. alok sharma who was president of

the cop26 said he was disappointed that he was not going and world leaders as well saying does this mean the uk is backing away from climate commitments. so a big momentum for him to go to cop27 and i think the un will be pleased that he is going. it is significant i think that leaders do attend particularly because the uk was host to the last un climate conference and there is a kind of ceremony as you hand over responsibility from the current host to the next host, the uk to egypt. i think the egyptians and the un will be pleased that rishi sunak will be there to oversee the process. will it move the needle on climate change negotiations? maybe a bit, i spoke to the un secretary—general last week and he said leaders are important, they turn up and they play a role in galvanising the meetings and they bring energy and encourage

negotiators who do the behind—the—scenes kind of deals to kind of aim high and be ambitious about the kind of agreements they reach. so the hope will be that this will make a difference underscoring how important key nations like the uk think these discussions are. and what about the king? reports in newspapers at the weekend that he was champing at the bit to go to the summit. we know he was keen to go and after discussions with downing street a mutual decision we are told is made that it would not be appropriate for him to go on this occasion. whether that will change we cannot say, is getting close now the family photo, the leaders' get

countries of birth that people arrive from. so you can see different trends now.- arrive from. so you can see different trends now. and more data on households _ different trends now. and more data on households in _ different trends now. and more data on households in england _ different trends now. and more data on households in england and? - different trends now. and more data on households in england and? the| on households in england and? the ons sa s on households in england and? the ons says the number of deprived households has declined from the last census that took place a decade ago. of course that may be a surprise to many people as we are in a cost of living crisis but i guess it shows the limitations of the data because we are going to have to wait and see how this varies in a number of months and years later down the line. now the director of the uk think tank british future is with me now to talk about these figures. what do you make of them, are you surprised by the number of people living in england and wales born outside the uk has risen to 10 million million and a big increase in the number of romanians in

particular? i in the number of romanians in particular?— in the number of romanians in particular? i do not think it is a big surprise — particular? i do not think it is a big surprise to _ particular? i do not think it is a big surprise to know— particular? i do not think it is a big surprise to know that - particular? i do not think it is a big surprise to know that one l particular? i do not think it is a| big surprise to know that one in particular? i do not think it is a - big surprise to know that one in six of the population were born abroad. it was about 14% ten years ago. clearly that is people who have come over many decades. my mother and father would be in that 10 million because over half a century ago they came from india and ireland, to the top five countries. one third of people have come from the eu, many coming from poland 15 years ago and more people have come from romania as you say since 2000 and 1a. so the debate about immigration has changed now, it is now won six of the population and when my dad arrived the argument was very much about sending them back. we know it is part of society and the political debate is how we handle immigration and what policies we should have for the future and what is fair for

people who come to the society and communities that theyjoin. so the ten women who have come here are not just statistics but people who came to study, get married, work. it is about how we make that part of the society that we have become. and about how we make that part of the society that we have become. and of course there — society that we have become. and of course there is _ society that we have become. and of course there is now _ society that we have become. and of course there is now a _ society that we have become. and of course there is now a debate - society that we have become. and of course there is now a debate about l course there is now a debate about whether we need more migrants with the labour market very tight and huge shortage for example staff in the national health service. there are different _ the national health service. there are different views _ the national health service. there are different views of _ the national health service. ii—ii” are different views of immigration and people feel there are pressures and people feel there are pressures and gains. viewers have become more positive in the past five or ten years and the number of people migrant backgrounds in the country makes people more positive because we all know someone who is foreign—born and that is more likely the younger you are. people also have arguments and debates about how

to handle that well and fairly. we have new groups coming in from hong kong where people think we have done the right thing to invite them as part of society and that is a new group arriving now where's people came from uganda 50 years ago. so now there are debates about it but as people have more contact, we will have debates about slowing down the rate of change or having more people working for the nhs and pick fruit, it is a debate that is more pragmatic now than those we had half a century ago which was very much yes or no on immigration. what a century ago which was very much yes or no on immigration. what you make about — yes or no on immigration. what you make about the _ yes or no on immigration. what you make about the debate _ yes or no on immigration. what you make about the debate about - yes or no on immigration. what you i make about the debate about migrants coming across the channel and the length of time it takes to process asylum claims and so on. and some rhetoric that we've heard for example from the home secretary talking about an invasion of southern england.- talking about an invasion of southern england. talking about an invasion of southern encland. �* , ,, , southern england. asylum i think is the exception _ southern england. asylum i think is the exception to _ southern england. asylum i think is the exception to the _ southern england. asylum i think is the exception to the argument - southern england. asylum i think is the exception to the argument and | the exception to the argument and making that immigration has become

slightly warmer debate. it is partly because what we see in terms of the channel crossings is that is no 1's idea of a well—managed system and people want order and management and also want compassion as well as control. most want people who have a fair claim to get here and have a system to do that. so with a highly polarised debate in politics about asylum. what people would like to see their think is an orderly effective and humane system that manages it well and clearly we do not have that now. if we are breaking the law by detaining people in facilities and numbers that are not meant to be there. so it is the job of government to do this well and have international corporation that means that people who claim asylum in france and germany, that will play a part within a broader system. we have not got that in place and so it is a much more heated debate about asylum. i don't

want to keep that up but i want to see get a grip on getting refugee status to people who need protection and work out what to do with those who do not have a good claim. thank ou ve who do not have a good claim. thank you very much _ who do not have a good claim. thank you very much indeed. _ the scottish government's deputy first ministerjohn swinney has today published his emergency budget review. acting as finance secretary the minister set out additional budget cuts of 615 million pounds. here he is speaking in the holyrood chamber earlier... the initial package of £560 million in savings in 2022, i was clear additional savings would still be required. today i have published an emergency budget review that sets out a further £650 million in savings. this includes £400 million from real privatisation of spend within health and social care to provide a fair pay offer for nhs

staff and meets the extraordinary pressures from inflation and demand as the service begins to recover from the pandemic. let's talk to our scotland correspondent lorna gordon. some tough challenges ahead in terms of squaring the circle of the scottish budget and setting out priorities going forward. john swinney had wanted to wait until after the autumn statement to set out where the cuts would fall but in his words the activity of the uk government means he thinks he needs to provide as much stability and certainty going forward and that he could wait no longer. he said because of inflation and the scottish government budget has been reduced by £1.7 billion since it was set out in december of last year. and in addition to those hundreds of millions of pounds of savings that

he detailed back in september he now had to find another £650 million worth of money and places where he could cut to find the savings. so he said that he would make savings in terms of reprioritising funding and health and social care board and re—prioritise some mental health funding with capital savings cuts to marketing budgets. all this to enhance pay awards to public sector workers. he also pointed out the scottish government budget is largely fixed and they have cut where they can go forward and cannot change what taxes they have control overin change what taxes they have control over in the middle of the financial year. so he set out the challenges and details where some savings would be made. the opposition parties questioned why no cuts were being made to the constitutional work going on. of course the scottish

government would say it is only through independence that they could take full control and tackle the challenges ahead. the opposition parties also questioned why cats were being made to mental health funding. he defended the cuts being made and also questions about why the scottish government was going forward with a national care service. what was also interesting was these significant cuts being made and forjohn swinney he also warned that there are further on his words eye watering cuts had in the autumn statement. and that the challenges going forward would be very big indeed. because of course these are just the cuts for this financial year, the next financial year the scottish government budget for that will be set out in december.— for that will be set out in december. ., ,, , ., , . december. thank you very much indeed. the former israeli prime minister,

benjamin netanyahu, looks set to make a dramatic comeback. with about 80% of the votes counted, his conservative likud party and its far—right allies have a slender lead in israel's fifth election in four years. basking in the moment, benjamin netanyahu is celebrating what looks like his political comeback. "we truly love you all, from the depths of our hearts," he tells supporters.

of our own country," he says. and this was him last month, inflaming tensions at a flashpoint in eastjerusalem by pointing a gun at palestinians during clashes. last night, religious zionism supporters went back to the same neighbourhood, celebrating their electoral success by taunting local palestinians. final results aren't yet confirmed but this election does appear yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem.

i asked tom bateman if this moment signalled a drift to the right in israeli politics. that is what the polls have suggested now for many years that the israeli public has been shifting right. what we see politically in the last few years is as netanyahu has faced corruption allegations and an ongoing trial which began when he was prime minister, allegations that he denies, we saw an increasing sense of polarisation of his leadership and it was notjust corruption allegations but also his style of leadership. many felt deeply disappointed in the way they perceived that he was trying to dismantle some of the institutions of democracy. i think what we've seen

is that crystallised even further in this election campaign because what he did was nurture parties of the extremist far right, one that espouses clearly racist and anti—arab policies. and he was trying to scoop up as many right—wing votes as he could. so that helped foment an alliance of far right parties within his religious right wing and we saw that grow during the election campaign and support for it to reach a level as the projections are now, potentially 14 or 15 seats, the second biggest party in a government led by netanyahu and that is unprecedented for israel. we saw in that report a bit about one of the far right leaders, itamar ben—gvir, a firebrand as he is characterised. tell us more about him and his history?

he lives in a settlement in the occupied west bank, in hebron. he has convictions from his teenage years for inciting racism and he actually did not serve in the israeli army and he was not conscripted aged 18 due to his extremist record. an irony that many point out because he called for immunity laws for israeli soldiers who shoot palestinians and much tougher security laws. but his political rise has been to this level has been extremely quick. just a couple of years ago it was pointed out in one election he gave a speech to virtually no one and certainly no media and yesterday he was absolutely mobbed. so we have seen his growth as a leader of thejewish power faction extremely fast and one of the areas that he has been a street agitator has been in occupied eastjerusalem. in one neighbourhood there has been an ongoing attempt to evict palestinian residents who have

been there many years to make way forjewish settlers. he is often seen on the streets of the neighbourhood in the past year or so and his supporters were there last night again as clashes broke out. they were there celebrating his victory. so it has been a very quick rise to what is now the heart of government in israel and i think that is creating a sense of shock with many mainstream left wing. one minister described what happened last night in his words as 14 seats for the hatred of arabs. royal mail workers are to hold a series of strikes around black friday and cyber monday at the end of november — which are traditionally the biggest online shopping days of the year.

the communication workers union says that unless the row about pay, jobs and conditions is resolved, more walkouts in the run up to christmas will be considered. food prices continued to rise at a record rate last month, according to figures from the british retail consortium. the cost of items including milk, sugar and teabags all went up — pushing food inflation to more than 11%, due in part to higher costs for ingredients and energy, as well as a shortage of labour. the music world has been paying tribute to hip—hop star takeoff — who's been shot dead at a bowling alley in texas. the twenty—eight—year—old had enjoyed great success with the group migos. he had previously collaborated with artists including drake, cardi b and katy perry. time for a look at the weather forecast with christopher blanchett.

hugh has been celebrating four decades of being on air. at the very least. which is why i'm just about capable of doing the job. good afternoon. in a tournament punctuated by weather interruptions, the rain nearly put pay to one of the t20 world cup's biggest names today. but india survived a nail—biter against bangladesh in adelaide to put themselves on the brink of a semi final spot. virat kohli became the top run scorer in t20 world cup history as he made another half century in india's 184 for 6. then the rain came after seven overs of bangladesh's reply when they were ahead of the dls par score. had the rain stayed, india would have lost. but when they resumed bangladesh had a new target of 151 off 16 overs. after losing the crucial wicket of litton das two balls later, with one match to play. in uncomfortable situations before,

but now when we are in those situations, we know what we have done and we know how we have prepared, so there is a confidence within us that no matter the situation, we will find a way and do the job for the team. gareth southgate has been criticised by human rights groups for comments he made about the world cup in qatar. the england manager said workers in the gulf state were "united" in wanting the tournament to go ahead, claiming workers there "love" the sport. amnesty international said migrant labourers are more concerned with having their rights "fully protected". qatar has been strongly criticised for its human rights record. scotland will host england at hampden park next september to mark 150 years since their first meeting in glasgow. the match next year will be the 116th time the two countries have played each other, of which this is one. there weren't any cameras present at the original encounter. that was at hamilton

crescent in 1872, and has since been recognised by fifa as the inaugural international match. the fates of the three british sides involved in the final night of the champions league group stage has already been decided, with celtic already out of europe and both premier league teams guaranteed to win their groups. manchester city could well pick some young players for their match against sevilla. while chelsea are also through ahead of their match against dinamo zagreb. but manager graham potter sez they won't play youngsters �*for the sake of it'. he's also aware, after losing for the first time since taking over at the weekend. to his former club brighton that doing so again wouldn't be advisable. you understand when you are at a club like this that you are only 90 minutes away from a crisis and you have to put things into perspective and you have to understand where you have been, and what has happened. and look at it as intelligently as you can, and then whatever people

say from the outside, there are always opinions, always people who don't like you, people that will have a different view of how the situation is, and you can't really control that. dan evans andjack draper both went out of the paris masters within a few minutes of each other this morning. draper lost to the 15th seed frances tiafoe in round two, while evans had an even tougher proposition against stefanos tsitsipas, who's the fifth seed in paris. the british number two lost in straight sets in the final event of the atp tour's regular season. cameron norrie plays corentin moutet tonight. and finally, forever immortalised by one of the most famous fa cup goals in history, ronnie radford has passed away at the age of 79. radford's goal played on a boggy edgar street pitch in 1972, was the equaliser against first

forces and found some officers had family links to organised crime. the report was commissioned after the murder of sarah everard by a serving officer. our home affairs correspondent tom symonds has this report. in 2012, nicola brookes reported she was being stalked online. an inspectorfrom sussex police who dealt with her case was sacked for gross misconduct after he abused his position and her vulnerability to engineer a brief sexual relationship with her. it's happened before in the police. as my investigation proves, they target the most vulnerable women. and it's usually women like me. you know, domestic violence. serious, serious stalking, and nobody questions them because they are veteran experienced officers. what do you think is going wrong with the vetting of police officers? you are not going to change that culture overnight. there's clearly not any vetting going on throughout the officers' careers, which is what i think is what needs to be done.

today's highly critical report focuses on sexual and abusive behaviour. the police watchdog examined 725 cases where officers were vetted. in 131, the decision was questionable at best. about one in five of them is somebody we think eitherjust shouldn't havejoined, or if they were going to join, should have had some special controls put around them. i don't think it's being taken seriously enough. i don't think police leadership realises how important it is. i don't think police leaders realise the risk they carry by not having higher vetting standards, and therefore it's too easy for the wrong people to get in. perhaps people like the group of officers found sharing offensive messages at this london police station. for ten years, various watchdogs have warned that vetting needs to be tightened. finally the police say a tipping point has been reached. there has been a litany of different stories around policing behaviour,

but some of that is because we are exposing these issues within our organisations. we are rooting out where there is a toxic culture, where there is behaviour that doesn't meet our standards. working against this attempt at change, a demand for 50,000 new recruits to replace officers lost through cuts and resignations. pressure perhaps to ease off on vetting. but the horrific murder of sarah everard by a police officer changed everything and shows what's at stake. trust in the police, especially from women. i don't necessarily want to be, as a woman, in danger, pick up the phone when i need help and i'm at my most vulnerable, and not feel confident that the person on the other end of the line hasn't hit his wife, sexually harassed a female colleague or abused their position of power. in nicola's case, sussex police said proper vetting was carried out, but across england and wales this report makes 43 recommendations for improvements. tom symonds, bbc news, brighton.

emmanuelle andrews is the campaigns and policy officer at the human rights watchdog liberty this report is just the latest in a long line of reports which talk about the culture of misogyny and racism in policing, as if it's new information and we know it's not. fundamentally, yes, of course, the vetting of the police service is currently not fit for purpose and needs to change and it's not the problem of a few bad apples who slip through the net. we need to find that the government are not off the hook. the reports come and go and the police are given more powers and we need to roll back the powers of the police, scrapped plans to widen them and make sure we invest in community led alternatives to policing that have human rights and socialjustice policing that have human rights and social justice as at policing that have human rights and socialjustice as at heart. iudhat social 'ustice as at heart. what does socialjustice as at heart. what does it mean, _ socialjustice as at heart. what does it mean, community - socialjustice as at heart. what does it mean, community led l does it mean, community led policing? what is that? fundamentally we need to acknowledge that the institutional policing is

violent and harmful. yes, the murder of sarah everard was an awful and damning example of that but there are countless other examples through history where the policing of racialised minorities is one example, and at the same time, the police consistently given more powers. instead of giving them more powers, we need to look at the heart of some of these problems. clearly racism and misogyny is something endemic throughout society. what are the solutions that get to the bottom of that and what are the solutions that keep communities safe? need to the last cut in the last decade including things services, trauma mental in these are “in these are the things that support in these are the things that {seepie in inner? support in these are the things that {seepie in an inner? inherently inherently violent. inherently violent? you _ inherently violent. inherently violent? you are _ inherently violent. inherently violent? you are saying - inherently violent. inherently violent? you are saying that| inherently violent. inherently - violent? you are saying that police forces in this country are inherently violent. you said the institution of policing is violent

can we imagine a world where none of this is taking place in the first place? those are the questions we need to ask ourselves and we cannot do that working with an institution that has report after report that is perpetuating and exacerbating the very problems it seeks to solve. a, very problems it seeks to solve. a lot of people watching you will say, crime, they are worried about crime, they are worried about robberies, burglaries, sexual assaults. they want a police force that is tough. and you are saying you want less coercion. ., ., and you are saying you want less coercion. . . . and you are saying you want less coercion. ., ., ., ., coercion. yeah. i agree with all of those people _ coercion. yeah. i agree with all of those people that _ coercion. yeah. i agree with all of those people that are _ coercion. yeah. i agree with all of those people that are worried - coercion. yeah. i agree with all of. those people that are worried about safety in their communities, and this is part of the same problem. we all want to feel safe in our communities, but if the institution we turn to you to make us safe is also perpetuating violence and not making a safe, we really have to question if that is the right solution that we should be going down. and i think a really empowering solution for communities everywhere that will hopefully make

us all much more confident in society and make us feel we can walk down the street safer is to say, what are the community led interventions we can support? what are the investments we can have at local level that will respond to the problems. that doesn't mean handing more and more powers to an institution that has consistently shown through history to abuse them. that was immanuel andrews from the pressure group liberty. how much public support is therefore strikes? we will talk about that with ben king who is with me in the

studio and there has been some in opinion polling and some interesting findings. b. opinion polling and some interesting findinus. �* opinion polling and some interesting findinus. ~ ., opinion polling and some interesting findinus. ~ , opinion polling and some interesting findinus. �* , ., findings. a poll asked exactly that ruestion, findings. a poll asked exactly that question. how _ findings. a poll asked exactly that question, how much _ findings. a poll asked exactly that question, how much to _ findings. a poll asked exactly that question, how much to this - findings. a poll asked exactly that question, how much to this publicj question, how much to this public support strikes and these are the results they came up with. they found 60% of respondents supported workers taking industrial action such as strikes with 33% opposed and then they asked questions about specific industries, specific groups striking and on this specific issue of pay and conditions and found a range of different opinions for nurses, who had the most poll, 64% saying they would support nurses, followed by teachers, postal workers on 55% and 54 respectively and bus drivers, refuse collectors and doctors on 50% and that the bottle of the poll came barristers with 33% before —— bottom of the poll. they asked the same question in august and the results were pretty much unchanged. the and the results were pretty much unchanged-— and the results were pretty much unchanued. ., .,, ., , unchanged. the general opinion is that the general _ unchanged. the general opinion is that the general public _ unchanged. the general opinion is that the general public hate - that the general public hate services being disrupted by strike action but rail strikes in

particular, there is some evidence showing that the impact is limited to a small group of the population. that's right. they also asked people how much they were affected by rail strikes and 7%, only 7% said they were largely affected. 25% said they were largely affected. 25% said they were somewhat affected and 44% said they weren't affected at all. lots of people don't use the trains on a day to day basis on my drive to work and following the pandemic people i used to working from home, so people find it easier than they might have done five or ten years ago to adapt to a world where they could not travel to work on specific days. what is the polling evidence on railway workers on workers had about �* llii, in one poll which support in one poll which supports other from �* in year found a roughly even split between support and oppose opposition to the train strikes. and one thing in all of these cases is that the issue of all

of these different groups comes down to pay, they see prices going up at 10% and are being offered pay rises which are substantially less than that and are worse off, so i think this is an issue a lot of the public can understand and it might be one of the reasons why you see these relatively high levels of sympathy for the strikes.— relatively high levels of sympathy for the strikes. interesting. thank ou ve for the strikes. interesting. thank you very much — for the strikes. interesting. thank you very much indeed. _ meet lance corporaljean mcdonald. proud of her service and the uniform. dismissed by the army in 1981 for being gay. all of a sudden, you've lost yourfull career, you've lost your friends, you've lost your accommodation, your whole way of life, and it was just full of shame.

thousands of service personnel were dismissed for being homosexual until the year 2000 when the ban was finally lifted. veterans have campaigned forjustice ever since. injanuary this year, the government set up an independent review to look into their treatment. jean mcdonald applied for her full—service record to share as evidence, only for the mod to reveal that all documents about the military police investigation into her had been destroyed. it's a mixture of feelings. again, feeling that you're invisible. that you don't count. that the government, they don't care about what happened. and that in some ways they're just trying to sort of... we're a bit of hidden history. the ministry of defence told us the policy followed at the time was to remove references to these former offences and investigations from service records.

there was a legal duty to ensure these records were erased. with no records, what proof is there? another hurdle then for lgbt+ veterans seeking compensation for the harm they suffered. angus crawford, bbc news. later today people will gather at the victoria and albert museum in london and i've been discussing channel 4 and its history with maggie brown, media historian, who has been tasked with looking back at the history of the public broadcaster and she explains to me what made the channel, in her view, so unique.

it has no studios and inns likely —— likely staffed institution and had to commission its programmes from outside on the other thing is that it is a quirky former public service broadcasting. it's not supposed to be like the bbc but is expected to deliver a of what we might call public good, for example the hour—long seven o'clock news is an example of that but there are many others and it is also supposed to be, i suppose, others and it is also supposed to be, isuppose, when others and it is also supposed to be, i suppose, when it was launched, it was almost like a safety valve. the bbc had not really escaped from perhaps the fact it was the only broadcaster. and channel 4 was able, i think, harness all of the other ideas bubbling away in the 60s and

70s, and they all kind of exploded, but the first decade, you can remember and i remember it too, they had some very strange programmes as well, but it settled down over 40 years to still be, i think, a very interesting broadcaster and what i found as a historian, and this is one useful thing i can add to the debate, what i found it as i have studied and written two books about it and i basically covered it for 40 years, that it's very adaptable and because it has this small, no more than 1000 people working for it, no students or anything like that —— no studios. it has a headquarter in london and one in leeds, but i think it can adapt very easily to things, so it's been through many changes over these past four decades, including the one where it is introducing at the moment, which is to put its commissioners and its

money around the uk, so it is trying to be part of what has been told to be part of the levelling up process that the government so wants to see. everything you have said so far is very positive. what about the critics of channel 4 who say it has gone down—market in recent years and some of its programmes actually could be found on other channels easily? my creator that is true but because i'm a historian it does not mean i am its cheerleader and i don't view it uncritically my work is independently. and it is holding on to this audience share because of the huge change with streaming and competition, probably 60 times the amount that it had in the 80s. there are still the gm is like some the

comedies, but virtue it took some hits from other broadcasters to shore itself up. after it lost big brother is it lost a whole of it schedule and you and it took the bake off from the bbc and starting in 2017, so i am not a great defender of it, some of its anniversary programming has been things i would choose to avoid, but when you see a breakthrough drama like it's a sin, which was broadcast last year about the aids pandemic in the 1980s and the fate of a whole load of fictionalfriends, you do reignite your love for it. maggie brown there. with the world cup in

qatarjust brown there. with the world cup in qatar just a few weeks brown there. with the world cup in qatarjust a few weeks ago, some iranian men have asked the governing body to ban their national team which they say is in response to the violent crackdown against protesters in iran at the moment. the grit is made up of athletes from various ports inside and out of iran. they call it the beautiful game. but football is rarely void of politics. some iranians say it is now a matter of life and death. that is why a group of former iranian sport champions are demanding that football's governing body, fifa, remove iran from the world cup. football, which is the most popular sport on this planet, is the best way to show and share our voices. this is the only way we could share to the world that we need help. but they are not the only ones asking for the ban. the ukrainian association of football has also written to fifa. they say tehran has been

supplying russia with iranian—made drones, something that the iranian government denies. in this protest so far, more than 250 people have been killed. i mean, what is the difference between iran and russia? russia attacked ukraine, killed and tortured people, and it was the right they got banned from everywhere. the same thing should happen and apply, be applied to iran. but a potential ban is likely to divide iranians. former national football players ali daei and ali karimi back the protests in their country. but so far they have not called for a ban on their national team. many iranians are urging world leaders to support their fight against the regime. but football is a sport they adore. so fifa's decision carries great weight for a nation that is in the midst of an historic battle. azadeh moshiri, bbc news.

more news coming up at five o'clock but let's check out the weather prospects with christopher. a pretty autumnal day of weather across the country with heavy rain and some high winds, and that wet weather is still with us and continuing to track its way east to south—east across the country and here it is on the satellite images from earlier with the radar combined with it as well but clearing away from northern ireland although a number of blustery showers followed on and sunny skies to go with it as well. let's take a look at the next few hours on the wet weather is still with us, tracking east towards the south—east of england where it will tend to linger as we had overnight and into first thing tomorrow. further outbreaks of rain across the north—west of scotland, and under clear skies, temperatures

in town, between four and six celsius and further south, holding onto double digits with cloud and rain and around the south coast and the west of north west of scotland gusting to severe gale force at times. there is the rain still waiting across the south—east of england and it will clear but take a while to do so. elsewhere, some sunshine and a number of showers affecting parts of wales and the south—west, through parts of northern ireland into scotland as well but generally a lot of sunshine as well and away from the south—east, just a few showers. and temperatures north to south 14 celsius, and as we head into the night. and this ridge of high pressure is moving in with a spell of weather across the night but it will quieten things down with clear sky is falling away and may be close

to freezing in towns and cities across scotland and chile elsewhere, but it does mean for friday a call start and a bright start and crisp sunshine and for much of fridays a lot of dry weather is around but all told, not bad at all. temperatures between ten and 14 celsius and between ten and 14 celsius and between north and south. as we look towards the weekend, we replace the dry weather with wet weather with a weather front moving west to east across the country and hopefully hopefully drying up for bonfire night but there will still be some outbreaks of rain at times and some showery outbreaks of rain clearing on sunday. that is the forecast for now.

spoke suella this is bbc news. the headlines. earlier the pm admitted "not enough" claims are being processed, after labour accused the government of having "lost control." if the asylum system is broken and his lot have been in power for 12 years, how can it be anyone's fault but their�*s? not only does the party opposite not have a plan, they have opposed to every single measure we have taken to solve the problem. you can't attack a plan if you don't have a plan. meanwhile, the albanian prime minister has accused the home secretary suella braverman of "discriminating" against albanians to "excuse policy failures" during

the migration crisis.
