but carter wouldn't have been there at all without the passion and more importantly the finance of another egyptologist, this man, the fifth earl of caernarvon. the story sparked what became known as tutmania. from a few curious visitors to the millions who viewed the wonders of the tomb at travelling exhibitions. i'm sorry, there will be no more admission for the exhibition tonight. hanging in the air, the legend of a pharaoh�*s curse on those who dared to enter the tomb. the newspapers named five men as its victims, among them lord caernarvon himself. like tutankhamun�*s interlocking coffin, there are many layers to this story. howard carter's successors are still finding new pieces of the jigsaw, still solving the mysteries which remain hidden in the valley of the kings.

time for a look at the weather. here's darren bett. but so much in the west because we have this cloud spilling in. it is wrapped around that big area of low pressure, and the low itself will not reach us just yet but i had a bit, pushing well ahead of it, all of this cloud and that is beginning to arrive across parts of northern ireland, limiting the sunshine. further east, it has been a beautiful day, this was the picture at whitby in north yorkshire. we have seen one or two light show is running in off the irish sea into parts of north—west england and one or two bumping into the far west and fat north of scotland but generally it is dry with a lot more sunshine to come over the next couple of hours with temperatures holding at around 12—13 celsius and it'll get

cold this evening for eastern areas with those clearer skies. to the west, some more showers running in off the irish sea, heavy showers in scotland moving up towards the northern isles, then that now that we saw in the atlantic bringing rain to western areas. that will keep temperatures happier but it was a good part of scotland, eastern england, temperatures will down to as low as 2—3 celsius with the risk of frost once again. a chilly start eastern areas, rain and the west are soon clearing from northern ireland, sunshine arriving, and through the afternoon we should see some sunshine after the rain in scotland, but for a good part of england and wales it will be cloudy, not much rain, rather damp in places with temperatures probably peaking at around 12—14 celsius with a bit more brisk wind than today. heading into bonfire night, if you have got plans, maybe a bit more rain coming back into the midlands and south—eastern england. for many other areas it may well be dry. to the far north—west we have the chance of some showers. those showers coming in around that area of low pressure which is getting a bit closer. this weather front is

going to be significant. that is bringing rain during the day on saturday and on saturday night it could be heavier as it stores in the south—east of england before moving away. following from that we have more rain coming in from the west across england and wales, scotland and northern ireland, more of a mixture of sunshine and a scattering of showers, but getting windy in the north—west and touching girl forced by the end of the day. temperatures not really changing much for the second half of the weekend. a quick look at the beginning of next week. still windy, the wind may be a bit stronger monday and tuesday, but they are coming all the way from the south so it is going to be mild and refined temperatures reaching 16—17 celsius but we still have the chance of some rain. jane. celsius but we still have the chance of some rain. jane._ of some rain. jane. darren, thank ou ve of some rain. jane. darren, thank you very much- — that's all from the bbc news at one. it's goodbye from me. on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are.

australia have beaten afghanistan by four runs in the t20 world cup but have failed to achieve the net run—rate swing required to further boost their chances of progressing, which now means that england simply have to beat sri lanka tomorrow to make the semi—finals at australia's expense. glenn maxwell was not out and top scored for australia with 5a as they made 168 for 8 in their innings. afganistan showed fight and took australia all the way to the final over, but fell four runs short and end the tournament without a win. it shows how we feel we play as a group, and tonight was a good opportunity to have that perfect game and we sent finch out for the

task —— for the task, but who knows what could happen. that's as simple as it can get. just the big moments, probably missing them too many times and missed opportunities during games. new zealand are the first team to reach the semifinals. captain kane williamson top scored with 61, as they reached 185 for 6. a human rights organisation says it's "nothing short of appalling" for fifa to request all the teams at the world cup to "focus on the football"." human rights watch say it was deeply offensive, that fifa's letter pleaded with people to "not allow football to be dragged into every ideological or political battle that exists." the world cup has been surrounded by controversy; with qatar criticised for its stance on same—sex relationships, human rights record, treatment of migrant workers and questions over it's climate claims. in response, peaceful protests have been planned by some players. qatar's world cup organisers state, "everyone is welcome".

despite that appeal from fifa, the liberal democrats foreign affairs spokesperson has called on england to make a "display of solidarity" with iranian women at their opening match of the world cup against iran. protests have swept across the country after the death of kurdish woman, mahsa amini, in police custody in september. layla moran mp has written to manager gareth southgate and captain harry kane telling them such a move would be, "hugely meaningful in raising awareness about the iranian government's condemnable actions." "any step which we can take to demonstrate our solidarity with the women of iran, and show them that they are supported, is also crucial." she said, "i am very conscious of the opportunity presented by your opening world cup fixture against iran in a few weeks' time." northampton fly—half dan biggar is set to join french side toulon with immediate effect.

the wales international had already announced he would be leaving saints at the end of the season. . . but today, biggar said he "never envisaged leaving saints midway through the season, but this opportunity came around very quickly," and he made the decision with his family in mind. the saints chief exec said he leaves with the club's "very best wishes". wales were comprehensively beaten by france, as they began their wheelchair rugby league world cup in sheffield. they were beaten by 158 points to 6 by the defending champions,

with the french scoring 16 first half tries. arnau vargas with this one. afterwards wales captain stuart williams said he was "a bit low but i'm so proud," just getting underway now is scotland and usa. you can watch it live on bbc 2. those are the live pictures on the usa are off to a good start, leading 12-0 at usa are off to a good start, leading 12—0 at the moment and the usa have never been to a world cup so far and an unknown quantity, and look at this, we might get a scottish drive. scotland up and running on the scoreboard there. scotland have been due to previous world cups and you can see what it means to them to get and you can get the latest news on the bbc sport website.

we will take a look at a few stories making the news this lunchtime. twitter is telling its staff today whether they still have a job. the social media company says the cuts are intended to put it on a "healthy path". twitter was taken over last week by the billionaire businessman, elon musk. but there are concerns about what it might mean for regulating hate speech. earlier on the today programme a twitter employee described what happened to him and his colleagues. we all got an e—mail, everybody in the company got an e—mail saying that there was going to be a large reduction in headcount, and that everybody would get an e—mail tomorrow and if you were part of the delayed off group it would be to your personal e—mail and if you are not, it would be to your work e—mail and about an hour after that is when folks started getting their work laptops remotely wiped. my laptop was on my desk and i was sitting on

my sofa and i saw the screen sort of flash grey, which is what happens when a laptop gets remotely wiped and it boots you to the screen that asks you for a security pin and sends a message saying further communication will come to your personal e—mail. you don't wipe a laptop and revoke all access if you're planning to keep somebody on stop its not the done thing. one twitter employee s-ueakin done thing. one twitter employee speaking this _ done thing. one twitter employee speaking this morning _ done thing. one twitter employee speaking this morning on - done thing. one twitter employee speaking this morning on radio - done thing. one twitter employee l speaking this morning on radio four. donald trump has dropped one of his strongest hints yet that he may run for the white house again. he was speaking at a rally in sioux city, iowa —— on the campaign trailfor the us mid term elections next week. the election was rigged and stolen and our country is being destroyed. iran twice, i won twice, and did much better the second time

than i did the first. getting millions more votes in 2020 than i got in 2016. and, likewise, getting more votes than any sitting president in the history of our country by far. and now, in order to make our country successful and safe and glorious, i will very, very, very probably do it again. 0k? very, very, very probably. very, very probably. the rise of a new christian right in the united states is having an impact on the campaign trail. a growing number of pastors and politicians are urging voters in the mid—term elections to take back the country for god — challenging the country's commitment to the separation of church and state. barbara plett usher reports. in this divided nation, the christian right has found a new voice. this country belongs

to god almighty. this isn't church service. hundreds of people are being baptised after a rally in pennsylvania, some overwhelmed by their experience of god. thousands have turned out because they believe their christian values are under attack and that god belongs in government. you cannot separate god from politics. you cannot take him out of our government. these events tap into people's anger about covid lockdowns and donald trump's election loss. the man himself dialled in while his son was on the stage. we love you all and we are going to bring this country back. our country has never been in such bad shape. they are reframing american conservative politics as spiritual warfare against the radical left. chris and bobby foley have travelled from north carolina. they took away the bible, they took awayjesus in everything, and so now we are being run by devils, we are being run by satan because it is a spiritual war.

some call this rise of the religious right christian nationalism, the belief that america was founded as a christian nation and should remain one. it has taken on a new intensity in this fractured political world, breaking covered during the storming of the capitol, where christian symbols and prayer were on display. good evening... greg locke was one of many pastors at the capitol that day. he has millions of followers on line and preaches to hundreds every week. you ain't seen the insurrection yet. he has managed to weave his political views into an apocalyptic worldview laced with conspiracy theories. you god—hating communists, you will find out what an insurrection is, because we ain't playing your garbage! you are calling fellow americans evil, and putting it in the context of an apocalyptic battle between good and evil. there is an apocalyptic battle between... and so that is the kind of language that could be used to incite violence. that is not my responsibility. you don't see that as a responsibility, to stay away

from possibly inciting violence? no, i am not inciting violence, i am preaching the bible. but many christians are fighting back against this interpretation of the bible. father, thank you for this day... pastor kevin riggs is a community activist. he believed scripture teaches that god cares most about social justice. my concern with the religious right has been that they are damaging the reputation of the church. i have had friends who are pastors at churches and because they spoke out against the religious right or against president trump, then they are asseting their church. next week's election will be the first test of this vocal minority at the polls. if the republicans wins big, it could become a powerfulforce pushing the party further to the right. barbara plett usher, bbc news, pennsylvania.

ukraine's president zelensky has accused the kremlin of �*energy terrorism' to compensate for the failure of russian troops to gain significant ground on the frontline. the ukranian leader said that 11.5 million people were without power as winter sets in. in recent weeks, russia has carried out large—scale missile and drone attacks on ukrainian powerfacilities. so what is life like for those without power? our correspondent catherine byurahanga is in kiev. it's definitely getting more precarious for pedestrians here in kyiv. we are in the centre of town, and as you can see, it's almost pitch black and much of the light is coming from the car is out on the streets, so peoplejust coming from the car is out on the streets, so people just have to be more careful moving around at night. there have been reports of people falling and hurting themselves as they have tried to move around in they have tried to move around in the dark, and it's interesting being out on the streets and seeing people trying to do the things they would have done if the lights were on, so

you have couples sat on benches talking, people walking their dogs and families out with their children, but things are likely to get worse and it's likely to get colder, making life harderfor people in ukraine. a reminder of the headlines. plans for a new nuclear plant in suffolk and a new high speed rail line in the north are under review as the government tries to cut spending northern ireland secretary chris heaton harris says there will be no stormont elections before christmas twitter begins cutting jobs around the world following the firm's takeover by elon musk. a memo has gone out to staff detailing how they'll be sacked

almost 4,000 victims of modern slavery have been identified in the first 3 months of this year — with more than a third of them saying they've been exploited as children — according to the home office. many find themselves in london, which could explain the big rise in the number of victims here, as frankie mccamley explains. it was non—stop. the only time i got a rest would be when it was time for bed. trafficked into the uk at the age of 12, school wasn't an option. seclusion, coercion and oppression was all she had. there was no talking to the neighbours. she especially emphasised that. she said if i did say something they would send me back to nigeria. in all, the cycle of torture lasted six years before she managed to run away. not every child victim is fortunate enough to escape traffickers and find a place of safety. many go missing along the way or are re—trafficked back into the hands of criminals.

one in three trafficked children went missing from local authority care in england in 2020, a total of 378 trafficked children that year. that's up from 284 in 2018 — a rise of 34%. we have to find out, is it a pull factor or is it a push factor? are they running to something orfrom something? and certainly if you don't feel safe, that is a key reason why you might then decide to go. john has been fostering for more than 30 years. two of his sons were trafficked from albania on the back of a lorry. their choice is to give themselves up and be taken back to albania. there is a fear of what will happen because father has debts and debts will be taken. in albania, debts, if they are not taken in cash, are taken in blood. the staying is a better option than being taken back, in a statement a government spokesperson wrote... protecting vulnerable children is one of the most important legal duties for local authorities

who are responsible for all looked after children in their area. if a child goes missing they operate a missing persons protocols with other local safeguarding agencies including the police to find them and make sure they're safe. free from her trafficker, now a mother, this young woman is part of a group of trafficking survivors. they meet every month to help advise charity workers on how to improve services. the hope is they can help others being exploited in this dark underworld simply for the gain of others. frankie mccamley, bbc london. south western ambulance has the longest waits in the country for people dialling 999. it takes almost a minute on average for ambulance control to answer calls compared with just five seconds for the west midlands service. our health correspondent matthew hill has been speaking to callers who were left waiting. 3:15pm in the afternoon and stephen is still waiting for an ambulance, nearly ten hours since his wifejean

and daughter claire were told one was on the way. stephen's breathing is now fast and shallow. between them, they have called 999 six times. two of those calls went unanswered for ten minutes. is it going to be on its way now? i told you, it's been upgraded. i said, the ambulance are here, steve, and he just looked at me and he just passed away before they could even get to him. stephen died from a strangulated hernia in his bowel, which cut off the blood supply to his heart. it's notjust his case, where there is concern about how long it takes to get through. a motorcyclist overtook us coming around the bend, i he has come head—on into another car at the road _ charlie was the first on the scene at an accident in august. it happened at westerleigh in south gloucestershire and she was the first to call 999. it took three minutes and two seconds for the call to be answered. i called 999, i asked - for an ambulance, and then, i wasjust put on hold.

and all this time, he was lying on the road? yeah. you're just panicking, _ and obviously, you're just in shock and you just want someone to answer the phone. - the motorcyclist in his 50s died, despite an ambulance arriving on the scene shortly after charlie got through. the latest figures show southwest ambulance has the longest waits to get through to operators in emergency. in september, it took on average, 56 seconds, far higher than other services, like east midlands. southwest ambulance has declined an interview, but in a statement, it says it is recruiting more call handlers. it is also pointing out that performance has not returned to pre—pandemic levels, partly because of delays in handing over patients outside of a&e. it also says around a third of 999 calls are repeat ones, very often because people are ringing in to find out when there ambulance is going to arrive. but with ambulance union is balloting for industrial action over pay, it looks like the demands

on the whole service is only going to get harder to meet. prince william has announced the finalists for his global environment awards, the �*earthshot prize'. the aim is to find new and creative ideas that will help protect our planet for the future. five winners will each receive one—million—pounds to make their project a reality. our climate editor, justin rowlatt, has been to revisit two of last year's winners. prince william launched his earthshot prize with a glamorous ceremony in london's alexandra palace last year. in the next ten years, we are going to act. we are going to find the solutions to repair our planet. there was a galaxy of

stars in attendance. david attenborough was one of the judges. we don't have eternity. we need to do this now. the aim — to inspire a new generation of innovators. and you can see the results in the fronds of coral here in the bahamas. earthshot winner coral vita has developed systems for growing heat resistant corals to help restore the world's dying coral reefs. the goal would be to have coral vitas around the world, to go global with coral veta, because we've lost 50% of the world's reefs within the last decade. so this is a global issue, and reef restoration isn't something that's just exclusive to the bahamas. another winner aims to try and clear the polluted air in india. takachar won for the burner they created, which converts leftover straw and other agricultural waste into fuel and fertiliser.

the earthshot prize has really catapulted us from where we were and the resources that we had, and has given us access to so many networks and resources that can really enable us to scale up work, essentially, and increase the pace of our work. earthshot says it aims to build a library of solutions over the decade. the idea is others will be able to draw on the expertise winning project establish, to help us all tackle the planet's environmental problems. justin rowlatt, bbc news. more coming up on all the stories from 2pm. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. it's been a much quieter day to day with many places dry, some sunshine for a while as well but it will get cold quickly this evening and those clearer skies. these are the
