the immigration minister is to have talks with council leaders in kent to deal with rising migrant numbers — nearly 40,000 people have crossed the channel so far this year. a week on from the deadly crush in seoul, questions are being asked about how the tragedy could have happened. england are into the world cup final, after a battling win over canada in the women's rugby union. now an incredible 30 wins in a row for the _ now an incredible 30 wins in a row for the red — now an incredible 30 wins in a row for the red roses. time to face your nemesis? we'll find out why there's just one more weekend to ride britain's most famous rollercoaster. a chilly but bright start across eastern areas but the cloud will begin and we have outbreaks of rain spreading in from the west today. if you are after a forecast for bonfire night celebrations later on, i am your guy. i will have all the

details in the programme. it's saturday the fifth of november. our main story: passengers are being warned to expect significant disruption on the railways today, despite strike action being called off. tens of thousands of rail workers had been due to walk out in the long—running dispute over pay and working conditions. strikes planned for monday and wednesday have also been cancelled, as negotiations between the rmt union and train operators are stepped up. our business correspondent, marc ashdown reports. today's strike action may have been called off but widespread disruption will continue. network rail welcomed the decision but says services which had been cancelled can't be reinstated at such late notice. a reduced strike timetable means just 20% of services will run across england, scotland and wales. those which do will start much later and finished by the early evening.

thousands of members of the rmt union of 1a real companies and network rail are involved in the long—running dispute about pay, jobs and terms and conditions. we long-running dispute about pay, “obs and terms and conditionsfi and terms and conditions. we are at avenue tonight _ and terms and conditions. we are at avenue tonight and _ and terms and conditions. we are at avenue tonight and then _ and terms and conditions. we are at avenue tonight and then we - and terms and conditions. we are at avenue tonight and then we are - avenue tonight and then we are coming back tomorrow morning, so it will affect us. we coming back tomorrow morning, so it will affect ve— will affect us. we are at definitely affected by _ will affect us. we are at definitely affected by that. _ will affect us. we are at definitely affected by that, i _ will affect us. we are at definitely affected by that, i am _ will affect us. we are at definitely affected by that, i am going - will affect us. we are at definitely affected by that, i am going to i affected by that, i am going to london — affected by that, i am going to london now and we need to take taxi back which— london now and we need to take taxi back which will cost £800. information isn't conveyed very well, _ information isn't conveyed very well, so — information isn't conveyed very well, so i — information isn't conveyed very well, so i don't _ information isn't conveyed very well, so i don't know— information isn't conveyed very well, so i don't know what- information isn't conveyed very| well, so i don't know what from information isn't conveyed very - well, so i don't know what from what stations _ well, so i don't know what from what stations from — well, so i don't know what from what stations from a — well, so i don't know what from what stations from a time _ well, so i don't know what from what stations from a time of— well, so i don't know what from what stations from a time of the _ well, so i don't know what from what stations from a time of the moment. j stations from a time of the moment. the union— stations from a time of the moment. the union that — stations from a time of the moment. the union that previous _ stations from a time of the moment. the union that previous strikes - stations from a time of the moment. j the union that previous strikes made the rail company see sense and it looked to intensive negotiations to find a settlement. the rail delivery group says it is glad the union step back from the brink and it is also committed to negotiating but it wants passengers will see disruption on monday as well as it is too late to change strike rosters. the advice is to only travel if absolutely necessary. mark ashdown, bbc news. ben boulos is outside euston station in central london

for us this morning. ben, the strikes may be suspended, but passengers are still going to feel the impact aren't they? you're absolutely right. no sign of any picket line because the strike has been called off but there will be disruption, make no mistake. the train operating company says it is too late to reinstate services not just today but also tomorrow and monday. some train operators, for example avanti monday. some train operators, for example ava nti west coast, say monday. some train operators, for example avanti west coast, say they will also run a limited service on wednesday as well because it is too late to reinstate services for them. it will cause disruption for many, many people. thousands will be trying to get the rugby at cardiff this afternoon. they will be limited services running before the game, and after the game there will be no trains running. scotrail in scotland says it will only be running a skeleton sellers, so the destruction is very much in place. but, the big question is, where does this leave

the dispute and the prospect of further strike action? well, this is the first strike that has been called off, that is an encouraging sign but the rmt union has said it believes the employers, the train operators and the rail companies, have promised to make a payoff but when the bbc spoke to the operators and the government they said their position hadn't changed, so there appears there is still some distance between the two sides. with remembering there is still a ballot for fresh strike action that closes in ii for fresh strike action that closes in 11 days. the union says it will call for further industrial action in the coming months if it feels thatis in the coming months if it feels that is necessary. 0ne in the coming months if it feels that is necessary. one more .2 — there is a strike plan to affect london underground on thursday, if you are in london or travelling through it, keep in mind that as things stand, that is still due to go ahead. things stand, that is still due to no ahead. ., ~' ,, things stand, that is still due to no ahead. ., ~ i. , . things stand, that is still due to no ahead. ., ~ , . ., go ahead. thank you very much for keein: go ahead. thank you very much for keeping us — go ahead. thank you very much for keeping us up-to-date. _ the immigration minister, robertjenrick, says he will meet council leaders from kent in the coming days to discuss how

to deal with the rising number of migrants arriving across the channel. earlier this week, a group of councillors sent a letter to the home secretary, suella braverman, saying the county is at breaking point. so far this year, almost 40,000 people have arrived in small boats. 0ur reporter simon jones is in dover. simon, what more do we know about this meeting? very dramatic background. hell is what we know about these proposed meetings. the immigration minister has already visited kent three times in the past week, which gives you a sense of just how much pressure the government is under over this issue. he was at manston, that processing centre for migrants we have been talking about so much in the past few days, last sunday. 0n talking about so much in the past few days, last sunday. on thursday, he visited the ball down there with the home secretary to see border force staff and also mod staff who patrol the channel. yesterday, he

came to dover to meet local residents who told him how concerned they were about what was happening in the channel. also concerned are council leaders in kent. all rode a stinging letter to the home secretary saying that canters very much in the frontline of this issue. they say that when migrants are picked up on the channel they are of course brought in here to dover and taken on for processing at manston. there is also a former army barracks in folkestone not far from there is also a former army barracks in folkestone not farfrom here there is also a former army barracks in folkestone not far from here that houses hundreds of migrants. hotels are being used. also, kent is more ukrainian refugees and anywhere else in the country. the message from council leaders is that this is unsustainable and unacceptable, and putting a real pressure on services, public services. in terms of the situation at manston, we understand there are around two and a half thousand people there. the site of course is designed for a maximum of 1600, so still some way to get it

down once again to those numbers to our more manageable level. that is the government's brokers in the short—term. longerterm in the government's brokers in the short—term. longer term in dealing with this issue, of course, there is the rwanda policy, the idea of sending some asylum seekers hundreds of miles from here to rwanda, but thatis of miles from here to rwanda, but that is being challenged in the court, we are waiting on the outcome of that. the government i think is now looking for a new deal with french authorities which will inevitably involve britain giving france a lot more cash to up the patrols and beaches in northern france. pretty dramatic mornings in the sky in dover this morning. not aware of any crossings overnight but it is certainly a lot calmer, weatherwise, today than it was yesterday. potentially we will see people trying to make the crossing and that could take us beyond the 40,000 figure so far this year. simon, thank you. sinn fein's vice president, michelle o'neill, is expected to accuse the democratic unionist party of holding back power sharing in northern ireland, when she addresses her party's conference in dublin later. sinn fein became the largest party

in the stormont assembly for the first time in may, but the dup have refused to help form an executive in protest at post—brexit trading arrangements. yesterday, the northern ireland secretary, chris heaton—harris, ruled out elections to the stormont assembly before christmas. russia has been accused by the united states of trying to freeze ukraine into submission by targeting the country's energy infrastructure. around 4.5 million people have been left without power in ukraine, according to the country's president, volodymyr zelensky. in recent weeks, russia has carried out large—scale missile and drone attacks on ukrainian power facilities. elon musk has defended his decision to sack around half of twitter�*s workforce without warning, a week after buying the social media giant. he said he was left with no choice, as twitter was losing more than $3.5 million a day. mr musk has also insisted the social media platform will continue

0ur south—east asia correspondent, jonathan head has been speaking to those who witnessed those terrible events. as the crowds buildup in the short, narrow alley last saturday, they found they had to go. some of them fell, then others tumbled after them in a lethal pileup. 181—year—old man witnessed the tragedy from his small fashion boutique in the alley. sobbing he is still haunted by those scenes and agreed to talk to us only in the seclusion of a faraway restaurant. translation:— seclusion of a faraway restaurant. translation: �* ' 1: , ., translation: about 9:50pm, two young women came into — translation: about 9:50pm, two young women came into my _ translation: about 9:50pm, two young women came into my shop _ translation: about 9:50pm, two young women came into my shop without - women came into my shop without shoes. they had fallen in the crowd. i helped wipe the dirt off them and helped them to calm down. i could

hosts qatar have been criticised for the country's stance on same—sex relationships, its human rights record and its treatment of migrant workers. liverpool bossjurgen klopp says the decision to play the finals there "was just not right", but doesn't feel players and managers should keep being asked to comment. now it's there, let them play the games. let them just play the games, the players and the managers, and don't put gareth southgate constantly in a situation where he has to talk about everything. he is like i am not a politician and he is not a politician, he is the manager of england. tim do that and if you want to write something else about it then do it but by yourself, without asking us and all these kinds of things and club said and southgate said and all these things, as if it would change anything. —— klopp said. it's fa cup first round weekend, and in the week that legendary goal scorer ronnie radford passed away, it was fitting that his non—league hereford side got the matches under way. hereford fans paid their respects to their most famous ex—player

with ros atkins on the week. the village of manston is a short drive from the kent coast stop down the road as the port of ramsgate. in the village itself there was a church and the jolly farmer pub and next door is the airfield and, because of that, manston has been welcoming new arrivals for years. in the 20s the students arrive for pilot training, in the '505 it was used as a base to carry out drills. now as an airfield it is hosting new arrivals again. thousands are coming across the channel by small boat. many are taking to this facility. you have an asylum system completely gridlocked. i can act as more people arrived, the government has and so the small village in kent finds itself as part of a story the system is broken, illegal

migration is out of control. and so we have a story that raises fundamental questions about how the uk response to those that arrive on its shores. hello, welcome. now, this is the plan this week. we will talk about migration in a moment. i will also look at whyjoe biden thinks republicans' relationship with the truth risks the path to chaos. then these are workers in china fleeing their factory, we will explore the reasons why they've done this and how they connect to all of us. and the war in ukraine of course goes on but establishing what is happening there remains hard. they try to control what we do add ourjob is to not be controlled, they try to get their message over and we try to get the truth over. we will hear from jeremy bowen in a moment but this is where we are going to start.

this is in crisis. don't call it an invasion, — this is in crisis. don't call it an invasion, but, hey, only 50,000 this yeah _ that is a lot of people. this country, we cannot afford them. a few thousand people can be accommodated humanely in this country, we are perfectly capable of doing it. you should not be sleeping on the floor of a tent for months on end. the majority of people don't want them. - send them back. migration has dominated the week's politics and there are any number of questions about what is happening, how it is being talked about and what is being done. let's work through them, beginning with how the home secretary described the situation. the british people deserve to know which party is serious about stopping the invasion of our southern coasts. jeering these are the details of what suella braverman calls and invasions.

the number of people arriving by small boat has greatly increased in recent years. nearly 40,000 have already landed this year. but next, look at the overall number of asylum claims. it is up, but the increase is nowhere near as sharp as with boat arrivals. we have seen higher numbers of people claiming asylum than this. but it is the method of arrival, this very safe way of arriving that has increased significantly this year. the numbers alone don't explain the pressures on the system. this is the migrant processing facility in manston, kent. it is 20 miles from dover, it opened in february specifically to process arrivals from small boats but it is struggling to cope. children being shooed away are among the 4000 or so crammed into the facility designed to hold just 1600 people. you cannot eat or sleep,

it was like a zoo. there is a case of scabies. there are cases of. diphtheria and mrsa. if they decide to break out because they have got nothing to live for... god knows what could happen. and these problems connect to broader ones with how long it takes to process asylum claims. this year, the backlog of cases passed 100,000, and the government is legally obliged to find somewhere for people to stay while they await a decision. for its part, the home office says it is tackling the backlog by increasing staffing and improving technology. it also says issues like safeguarding vulnerable people and modern slavery can cause delays, and there is another factor also, because, when an asylum claim is rejected, in theory, they are deported, but last year, 806 asylum claimants were returned. that is down from over 10,000 in 2010.

and listen to one more statistic on this. the government says that right now there are 17,000 people it wants to send back to europe, but it has only sent 21. my colleague dominic casciani explains why. we have no proper agreements with these countries, that is something we chose not to do when brexit happened. there are any number of aspects to the asylum system and the stories around it, but there has been one issue this week that has been getting a lot of attention. on tuesday, immigration minister robert jenrick spoke to the bbc. there are also some new challenges that have come up, for example, very large numbers of albanians coming to the uk. it is correct that the number of albanians has shifted. two years ago, 50 albanians arrived in the uk on small boats. last year it was 800, and this year, so far, it has been

12,000. of which, about 10,000 are single adult men. which begs the question, why? albania is in southern europe, has a population of 2.8 million, the uk government describes it as safe and prosperous. but prosperity is relative. the albanian median hourly wage in 2018 was 1 euro 70, lives in europe, and in the uk it was nine times higher. there is another reason why numbers are going up right now. we contacted an albanian journalist who has been investigating. the numbers have been increasing right now because it is cheaper. before for an albanian that wanted to go to the uk illegally they had to go on the back of a lorry, and this was costly, and this would cost like 20 — 25,000 of pounds, but when now you can cross the channel just by paying for

the smugglers, £3000—£4000. and to drive up demand, adverts like this on tiktok are being aimed at albanians. this one offers 'dinghy for uk with safe passage'. and for those who do come asylum, many the home office says show no interest in seeing their claim through. we will typically put them in a hotel for a couple of days and then they will disappear. they will work illegally, sending money home and then go back to albania. and of those who do not abscond, recent data shows that 40% -- 1496 of asylum claims from albanian men are successful so the vast majority of albanian men either never see their claim through or are rejected. to address this, the government wants to find a way

fast track albanians so that claims are held in days not months. it is a different story for albanian women and children. 90% of their asylum claims are granted. most of the albanians getting a positive decision are female and it is believed many of them are victims of trafficking who have not been able to— the albanian state has not been able to protect them and that is why they qualify for asylum. this week, matters became ever—more political as the albanian prime minister responded to uk government claims that this is an invasion. is nothing but fuelling xenophobia and targeting, singling out a community, and practically going totally against the great british tradition of integrating minorities. whilst politicians exchange opinions, it remains true that the number of albanian men coming to the uk has changed. 50 has the way that the uk and albania deal with this.

the home office notes that since signing our returns agreement with albania in 2021 we have removed more than 1000 albanians. this means that more albanians are being removed from the uk than any other nationality, but that figure is notjust people who have arrived by boat, but as the boats keep coming, the issue remains both a practical and political challenge, as well as an ordeal for those who need safe haven. to understand how immigration works in the uk, we need to understand the government department that oversees it. the home office. sir david normanton was the most senior civil servant there, for six years, working with five home secretaries. i'm glad i'm not there any more because i can imagine the pressures and tensions they will be feeling. i showed him some clips from this week. we need to be straight with the public. jeering the system is broken.

the trouble with that phrase 'the system is broken' is it implies there are nothing to be done about it but there are things to be done, and effectively the system has to be repaired, but there is not some magic bullet. it is about managing this system effectively and, at the moment, that is not happening. the british people deserve to know which party is serious about stopping the invasion of our southern coast. it is a misjudgement to use that phrase, really. as home secretary, you have to be careful in your language. you do not — this was in the aftermath of a firebombing of one of the reception centres in dover, and you need to keep calm, to usejudgement, not to stir things up. it's 4%! 4% arriving had their claim processed. this is a clip from bbc news in 2002.

so 4% of those people have had their applications decided, that is a collapse of decision—making. every time you don't decide on an application, that is somebody who is stuck in a hotel or stock in private accommodation. i5 stuck in a hotel or stock in private accommodation. is it stuck in a hotel or stock in private accommodation.— accommodation. is it not enough mone is accommodation. is it not enough money is spent _ accommodation. is it not enough money is spent on _ accommodation. is it not enough money is spent on the _ money is spent on the decision—making? i money is spent on the decision-making? money is spent on the decision-makinu ? ., ., ., money is spent on the decision-makinu? ., ., ., , decision-making? i would love to be able to tell you _ decision-making? i would love to be able to tell you the _ decision-making? ! would love to be able to tell you the answer- decision-making? i would love to be able to tell you the answer to - decision-making? i would love to be able to tell you the answer to that. i able to tell you the answer to that. i don't think it is a lack of resource.— i don't think it is a lack of resource. , ., , resource. many migrants were supposed — resource. many migrants were supposed to — resource. many migrants were supposed to be _ resource. many migrants were supposed to be staying - resource. many migrants were supposed to be staying here . resource. many migrants were l supposed to be staying here five resource. many migrants were - supposed to be staying here five to 24 hours _ 24 hours. seeing children there is 24 hours. — seeing children there is very worrying. the priority is to protect children, they should not be in the skin additions. somebody needs to get those families out of there. you can be tough on immigration and asylum, and you should be, but that doesn't mean you have to be inhumane. you said you took several years for you to work with others in the home office to regain control of the situation you inherited. does this

problem took on a similar scale? it does, because the backlog is growing again, they have a backlog of 100,000, growing again, they have a backlog of100,000, not growing again, they have a backlog of 100,000, not 40,000. growing again, they have a backlog of100,000, not 40,000. it looks like that backlog is going to grow, it will not be sorted out quickly. sometimes there is a single important moment in the news that offers us a window into something much bigger, and that happened this week when some video clips from a road in china started to appear online. earlierthis road in china started to appear online. earlier this week, these workers fled a foxconn facility in china known as iphone city because it can make hundreds of thousands of them every day, and this facility has been under a variety of covid restrictions for months stop fearing the restrictions could get tighter, some workers decided to get out.

some of them were met by officials and hazmat suits. this desire to get out reveals the great deal about china is zero—covid policy, and our presidency�*s leadership is impacting all of us. here is how. zero covid is very much still in place. this week, disneyland in shanghai closed its doors after a single case. no—one could leave until they had tested negative. this is elsewhere in shanghai this week and across china, local lockdowns are common. everyone in china knows this and some are keen to avoid them. this is footage from ikea in shanghai in august as people try to evade quarantine, and this footage on a train injune gives you an idea of how the approach works.

this puts china out of sync with the rest of the world's covid strategies, but with underperforming vaccines and concerns about its health service, zero covid remains, as does the pressure it creates. this was a rare anti—lockdown protest last week in tibet. but president xi talks about the people's war to stop the spread of the virus and argues... translation: people's lives come first. we will not waver in our zero covid policy. and that commitment connects to something fundamental about president xi's leadership. xijinping has consistently prioritised policies and politics ahead of economics. he's not afraid to take risks that the economy will suffer and his covid zero strategy is a prime example of that. this can be seen in the elevation of this man, who is to become

china's premier, second to president xi. it is a huge promotion and this is a man who has been responsible for enforcing lockdowns in shanghai. that promotion sends the clearest of messages on zero covid. but while the politics of this makes sense to president xi, zero covid comes at a cost. in the words of this leading economist, zero covid has: one us analyst called zero covid a driver of global recession. of course, china remains the starting point of the global supply chain. it makes 29% of the world's goods. but zero covid has made it a less reliable supplier and that shift is a symptom of a broader decision by president xi. xijinping inherited a china that, for decades, emphasised economic growth and the building of ties to the outside world, even sometimes putting that ahead of the supremacy of communist party rule.

but in the past ten years, he has flipped that around, putting himself and his party policies at the very top of the agenda. that is why the plight of workers escaping a foxconn facility this week is one aspect of a far bigger story that extends to president xi's consolidation of power and to the high streets where chinese made goods are sold. president xi's decisions affect those foxconn workers directly but they also affect us all. as you will know, there are great challenges in knowing what is happening in china. the government there severely restricts what journalists and everyone else can do. and in a very different way, there are also challenges in telling you what's happening in ukraine. ukraine's southern offensive is a crucial part of this war. its main focus is the region of kherson, the areas controlled by russia i'm out here in red.

—— areas controlled by russia are marked here in red. and the big prize is the regional capital, also called kherson. it is strategically and symbolically important, but despite how much this matters, finding out what is happening there is hard. ukraine's impotent reporting restrictions. —— imposed reporting restrictions. most of the front line remains off—limits to journalists. but some do get limited access and the bbc�*s jeremy bowen is one of them. earlier in the week, i messaged jeremy and asked if he would record his thoughts on where the battle has got to. let's take some time to see what he sent. my conclusion about the kherson offensive, which has been ballyhooed now for months, is that it has moved either very slowly after some earlier successes but the main thrust of it is stored. --is ——is stalled. so how do i assess that? well, here is an example.

if an army is attacking, there is a build—up of men, machines and ammo. and i haven't seen any of that. seen a bit of military activity, but we have heard that they are not as well supplied as they would like to be and you need that preponderance of offensive power to break a well—prepared position. so, a lot of it is second—guessing and trying to work things out. it is difficult. asjeremy says, it is difficult. what's happening inside the city of kherson is unclear. but we do know that in the wider region, ukraine has regained some territory. but reporting on those gains poses challenges. the ukrainians are quite controlling about what they let us film.

yesterday, after these raids, and this was part of it, we went to an area to film and there was a large university building there and we were not allowed to film it. we could film the civilian houses that were destroyed, but we couldn't film the university building. why? i don't know. were they doing something secret? did they not want to show the russians that they had managed to hit it? we don't know these things. but there is often also a pattern, which is, when the war is new and when there is that sense of shock that it has started, you can do local deals as a reporter with commanders. you say, will you take is up to your positions? and they say yes. but after a month or two, what tends to happen, notjust here but pretty much every other place i have been and pretty much every other war i have been to, is that they get organised. the information side get organised, so

they put restrictions on what we do. it's not a sinister thing, this is what always happens. these days, in the 24/7 digital world, winning the media war is critical for all sides. they want to get their point of view across. so they try and control what we do, and ourjob is to not be controlled. strategists talk about the fog of war and trying to work out what the hell is happening. personally, as someone who as a journalist has covered 20 or more wars, i am not surprised it is difficult to find out what the hell is happening, because it's always like that. now, it's the midterm elections in the us next weekend and there is a lot at stake, not least how muchjoe biden may be able to get done in the next two years. but there is more to these midterms too, because they are

helping us understand america's relationship with the truth. this is our country. elections are always about policies and personalities but on wednesday this week, joe biden made it about more than that. there is a path to chaos in america. and the president connected that one directly to this. the 2020 election was rigged and stolen and now our country is being destroyed. donald trump has been saying this since election night. it wasn't true then, it's not true now. this claim has become a test of republicans' commitment to facts, evidence and reality. we have worked with the bbc�*s disinformation unit to look at republican candidates in these elections. we found that 35% of the candidates have publicly and fully denied the 2020 election result. of those, three quarters are projected to win. an overall 53% of these candidates have questioned the election result and these candidates are in sync with many republican

voters. we can certainly see this in how some republicans are positioning themselves. one example is carrie legg, who is running for governor in arizona. —— kari lake. if you're watching this ad right now, it means you're in the middle of watching a fake news programme. you know how to know it is fake? because they won't even cover the biggest story out there, the rigged election of 2020. donald trump believes this is what his supporters want to hear. blake masters is also running in arizona. he is standing for senate and in a fox nation documentary, we see him talking with donald trump. if they say, how was yourfamily, you say next week's elections will be a test of that theory. but already this week, another story is testing republicans' relationship with the truth. a brazen and violent assault.

paul pelosi was brutalised. injured after a horrifying attack with a hammer. the suspect trying to tie him up, "until nancy got home". - the attack was last friday morning, and senior republicans condemned it. violence or threat of violence has no place in our society. what happened to paul pelosi is wrong. soon we were learning about the attacker too. the la times reported that he spread qanon and other far—right bigoted conspiracies on his blog. donald trump's daughter—in—law was clear on one thing. anyone trying to connect this guy in any way to a political party, to any other person, you can't do that. but plenty made just that connection, like this conservative. they are trying to pretend it has nothing to do with conspiracy theories that have been advanced among their voters. president biden made

the link even more explicit. you can't condemn the violence unless you condemn those people who continue to argue that the election was not real, that it is being stolen. and as the impact of republican misinformation was debated, a new conspiracy theory was emerging. cnn described it as. the deranged smear that paul pelosi and the attacker, the man who hit him in the head with a hammer, were in a sexual relationship. there is no evidence to back this up, but that didn't stop congressman higgins suggesting the attacker was a male nudist prostitute. he then deleted it. it didn't stop donald trump saying this to a conservative podcaster. it seems the glass was broken from the inside to the out. it wasn't a break—in, it was a break—up. police say they have cctv of someone breaking in. once more, mr trump was confronted with facts and evidence and as he and other republicans

detach themselves from both, former president barack obama frames the midterms in this way. democracy itself is on the ballot. one senior republican says the democrats are simply trying to divide and deflect. another republican makes this point. wacky ideas have been around as long as there has been more than one person introducing the topic in a political conversation. that is a true statement. the claim about the election in 2020 being stolen is false. now voters make their choices for a range of recent — the economy, crime, immigration. but these midterms are in part a test of where facts fit into americans' list of priorities. and as this week we consider the state of us democracy, —— that's all for this week. thanks for watching. goodbye.

called off but widespread disruption will continue. network rail welcomed the decision but said that services which had been cancelled can't be reinstated at such late notice. a reduced strike timetable means just 20% of services will run across england, scotland and wales. those which do will start much later and finish by the early evening. thousands of members of the rmt union at 14 rail companies, and network rail, are involved in the long—running dispute about pay, jobs and terms and conditions. we are at a late venue tonight and then we are coming back tomorrow morning, so it will affect us. we are at definitely affected by that, i am going to london now and i have to take taxi back which costs us £200. the problem i find is _ the information's not conveyed very well, so i know there's some trains running but i don't- from what stations or what times, at the moment. - the union said that previous strikes had made the rail companies see sense, and it looks forward to intensive negotiations to try and reach a settlement. the rail delivery group said it's glad the union stepped back

from the brink, and it too is committed to negotiating, but it warned passengers will see disruption on monday as well, as it's too late to change strike rosters. the advice is to only travel if absolutely necessary. mark ashdown, bbc news. ben boulos is outside euston station in central london for us this morning. it is clearly good the strikes have been called off, but in a practical senseit been called off, but in a practical sense it doesn't help from people trying to get anywhere? you are right, usually there would be a you are right, usually there would he a picket— you are right, usually there would be a picket line. there is no bigger line because there no strike but make _ line because there no strike but make no— line because there no strike but make no mistake that will still be a lot of— make no mistake that will still be a lot of disruption. the fact that it was called — lot of disruption. the fact that it was called off with such late notice means _ was called off with such late notice means the — was called off with such late notice means the train operating companies and network rail say they haven't had time — and network rail say they haven't had time to reinstate services so are only—

the immigration minister has already been encountered three times in the past three weeks. last sunday he went to the detention centre at manston. we have been hearing so much about that in recent days due toissues much about that in recent days due to issues of overcrowding and disease breaking out. on thursday he was here in dover, he visited the port of the home secretary, seeing the border. and the mod who patrol the border. and the mod who patrol the channel. he came to meet the local member and residents who said they were concerned about people making the crossing. that concern is shared by council leaders yet again. earlier this week they signed a stinging letter to the home secretary. it was likely from conservative council leaders but also from other parties. they say that kent is very much at the forefront of dealing with this issue when migrants are picked up in the channel being brought to you to dover and then taken onto manston

for processing. there is also a form of military barracks which is used to house asylum seekers, and there are a large number of ukrainian refugees. the council's message that services are being far to stretch and the situation is unsustainable. they will get to put those points to the minister themselves in coming days. as regard to crossings overnight, it is certainly better today and whether so it is only probably a matter of time before we reach that figure of 40,000 people making the journey so far this year. thank you, simon. left making the journey so far this year. thank you, simon.— thank you, simon. left back up on some of those _ thank you, simon. left back up on some of those things. _ thank you, simon. left back up on some of those things. the - thank you, simon. left back up on some of those things. the prime l some of those things. the prime minister has been speaking to the times newspaper. his first major interview as prime minister. our political correspondent joins interview as prime minister. our political correspondentjoins me now. david, he has crossed over a number of different territories including issues around suella

braverman. two years, his first interview, as you said, and he does touch on a migrant issue. there are some interesting, colourful details on the piece. he talks about the fact when liz truss resigned as prime minister he phoned his wife to see if she thought he should run to be prime minister. we had more about those discussions he had with boris johnson when they were both potentially running. no deal was ultimately done and rishi sunak says he told rishi sunak he thought he was the best person to do the job. the most interesting thing and this interview is about policy. we hear from the prime minister, talking about the migrant issue there, the issue of boats crossing the channel. he says it is a priority for him to crack down on that. he defended suella braverman using a description to describe it. he talks about the government not being able to fix every problem people faces and he says that the autumn statement on the 17th of this month, that is a

big financial event, it will be fair. but we do know services are facing cuts and there are potentially going to be tax rises in that for everyone. that is really going to be the subject of intense focus when this happens because rishi sunak says he wants to protect the most vulnerable but we don't have any commitment yet to things like increasing benefits in line with inflation, rising prices, increasing pensions by the same rate, and a big question about what will be a factor in public services that are already struggling at the moment beef, when potentially more cuts are to come? so rishi sunak is stressing that him and chancellor jeremy hunt want to protect the most vulnerable, but of course a lot of analysis after this budget this month will be happening as to how that can happen when they are wanting to cut spending. labour says the statue to the company is currently down to we are coming off the back of 12 years of us a conservative government. sinn fein's

developing along the weather front to the south—west will bring in a zone of heavy rain into eastern england for tomorrow. before that, we will all see wet weather working in today, the rain at the moment pushing in from northern ireland, getting into western scotland, across wales, western areas of england, some heavier bursts of rain mixed in for a time but as the cloud the rain works into eastern areas, it will become light and patchy and for many it will clear across north—western areas so here, some sunshine to end the day but across the midlands, east anglia, the south—east, looking cloudy with some patches of light rain. it is bonfire celebrations tonight, or celebrating great uncle guy's night, as i like to say. the rain not too heavy, some showers across the north—east but between a lot of you some dry conditions for the bonfire celebrations and relatively mild

they will face either france or hosts new zealand in next saturday's final. jo currie was watching for us in auckland. exciting and unexpected, turning out and hoping for a straightforward route to the final, confidence was high. england is the number—1 side in the world, not losing a match knowing over three years. victory is something that their fans come accustomed to. something that there are opponents are, accustomed to is the driving wall, and again it proves unstoppable. after england stalled again, they could be forgiven for letting their headstrong, instead they showed grits and pace. as england's dominance weekend, canada

p093 england's dominance weekend, canada poga confidence grew, finding the gap to pour themselves back into the game before the break. the favourites were rattled. after the restart, a moment of magic. from behind their own trailer, mcdonald made the break and found her teammate. the wingate turned on the afterburners to power away. showing why her teammates call her abby wow. we would we always why her teammates call her abby wow. we always be practising their passing, and with will be destroyed. and it was so beautiful. ijust thought, i really need to run! england have been accused of playing boring rugby in this world cup but that was anything but. canada dotted down once more but the game belonged to england. the relief was evident at the final whistle, their place in the world cup final was confirmed. nailbiting glucose.—

nailbiting glucose. there should have been a _ nailbiting glucose. there should have been a win, _ nailbiting glucose. there should have been a win, in _ nailbiting glucose. there should have been a win, in reality- nailbiting glucose. there should have been a win, in reality it - nailbiting glucose. there should| have been a win, in reality it was far too close. england will need to find another level by next weekend. back home, the men's autumn internationals get into full swing, this weekend, with less than a year to go before the world cup. england play argentina tomorrow, while today, wales will be hoping to end a 69—year wait to beat new zealand. they last beat, the all blacks, in the late queen's coronation year, 1953, and if they're to do it today in cardiff, they might have to, without leigh halfpenny. he is a doubt, with a hamstring injury, which could mean a first start, in five years for rhys priestland. ireland have very happy memories, of the last time, that south africa, came to dublin. they thrashed them in 2017 but, now of course, the visitors are the world champions, and stuart mccloskey replaces the injured robbie henshaw. and scotland have made six changes, from their defeat to australia last weekend. adam hastings is preferred at fly—half to blair kinghorn, who missed what would have been a winning penalty against the wallabies. the financial problems,

facing english rugby clubs are well documented. and now exeter chiefs have announced they're having to re—structure some of their finances to mitigate the effects of the covid pandemic. while on the pitch, the team's losing run continued at northampton last night, where the saints lost 26—19 in the rugby premiership. tommy freeman's second try ultimately proving the difference. now at the rugby league world cup, england's captain sam tomkins says his side face their toughest test yet in this afternoon's quarterfinal against papua new guinea. they have played on two occasions, unconscious twice before halftime, both occasions! says they are brutal but also very skilful as well. it is a very hard task for england. will be a double—header following the women's groups don't match with canada. this is a world cup that, for england's men, has been as close to perfect on the pitch as anyone might have dared to dream. commentator: listen to the noise now! - three thumping wins charging into the quarterfinals.

england find a little bit of magic! but now, the real battle begins. england's journey through this tournament has now brought them back to base. for a home world cup, this is england on home territory. wigan has been their camp throughout. it's where they will take on papua new guinea this afternoon and the likes ofjohn bateman, now in his second spell with wigan warriors, this is very much home turf. for me, it's the pinnacle of your career, playing for your country. it's notjust another game, it'll never be just another game when you play for your country. you're playing for your country, representing the people that have come before you, you're representing everyone else that has who has played, yourself, obviously, you're also representing your homeland and yourfamily and it's absolutely massive, isn't it? it's a place that means a lot to many in the england camp, none perhaps more so than the man in charge of it all. i'm from a fantastic estate at the back here, worsley hall, which is a council estate. fantastic people. i'm very proud to be from there. you know, but i didn't have the best start and to end up coaching my own town and then to get

a job when i never thought i would be offered — the head coach of my country, to play in a home world cup in my own town ground — i never imagined it would ever happen to me. so after games in newcastle, in bolton and in sheffield, this really does feel like a return to a traditional rugby league town. a huge occasion and the biggest match of england's rugby league world cup so far. but this is very much a shared stage. before england's men, england's women take on canada in the second of their pool matches. what a great opportunity to celebrate england in this tournament when we've got a double—header where both england's teams will feature. hopefully, we'll pack out that stadium. i'd love for the fans to get behind us — not for the men but obviously for us too — and that'll will be a great game against canada, i've got no doubts, and hopefully, another opportunity for us to showcase what we can do. so, a big crowd expected in wigan that will include the princess of wales. for england's men, it's a win or their home world cup is at an end.

adam wild, bbc news, wigan. the rugby league world cup favourites, australia, are comfortably into the semi—finals after thrashing lebanon 48—4 in huddersfield. the tournament's top scorer, josh addo—carr, scored five tries now that lebanon are out, their coach michael cheika can get back to his dayjob in charge of argentina's rugby union side for their game against england on sunday. austalia, who've won the world cup 11 times, will play either new zealand or fiji in the semi—finals. jurgen klopp says it is time to stop asking players about their opinions on same sex relationships, human rights records and treatment of migrant workers. their matches tomorrow and he says he agrees the decision to play the finals in cattai wasn't tried but he is tired about the questions about it. now it's there, let them play the games. let them just play the games,

the players and the managers — and don't put gareth southgate constantly in a situation where he has to talk about everything. he's not like i'm not a politician, his opinion, and he's not a politician, he's the manager of england. let i'm do that and if you want to write something else about it, then do it, but by yourself, without asking us and all these kinds of things and "klopp said" and "southgate said" and all these kind of things, as if it would change anything. it's fa cup first round weekend, and in the week that legendary goal scorer ronnie radford passed away, it was fitting that his non league hereford side got the matches under way. hereford fans paid their respects to their most famous ex—player, and it was only fitting that, 50 years on, their only goal scorer was miles storey, wearing radford's number 11 shirt. it was 1—1 a half—time, but portsmouth were just too good and went on to win 3—1, joe pigott with the third. in the other cup game, sheffield wednesday beat morecambe 2—0.

plenty more to come today. in fact, you don't have to wait long. bbc one will have coverage of south shields, against forrest green, that is at midday. also starting soon on the other side of the world is the t20 cricket world cup, england again sri lanka. they are into the semifinals. and lots of fireworks on fireworks night, bonfire night, isn't it? hind night, bonfire night, isn't it? and what a great _ night, bonfire night, isn't it? jifuc what a great day, if night, bonfire night, isn't it? fific what a great day, if you are night, bonfire night, isn't it? e'"ic what a great day, if you are an individual player, you are looking at the team sheet and you see a professional — full—time, professional, star football who you will be playing against, what an amazing day that will be? find will be playing against, what an amazing day that will be? and later we will have — amazing day that will be? and later we will have a _ amazing day that will be? and later we will have a report _ amazing day that will be? and later we will have a report on _ amazing day that will be? and later we will have a report on bracknelli we will have a report on bracknell town. theirs is the biggest gap, they are up against ipswich, 105 separate them from the southern leg

premier division, year 7, and separate them from the southern leg premier division, year7, and up against him one. speaking to those players, they have the honour of playing for my cup winners, obviously not the ones in the team now, but, yes, just the name of ipswich town coming to a little time ipswich town coming to a little time i bracknell, that is what this is about. and this could be an upset! they— and this could be an upset! they could be giant killers. well, somewhere _ they could be giant killers. well, somewhere out _ they could be giant killers. well, somewhere out there _ they could be giant killers. well, somewhere out there there - they could be giant killers. well, somewhere out there there will. they could be giant killers. -ii somewhere out there there will be a player who could be may be a plumber will have all his name over the back pages tomorrow because of the upset. it will happen somewhere. thank you. see you later. time to get some weather. you should demand that backdrop at all times. it looks great on you! it isa it is a lovely picture, sent in by the scarborough area, showing the sunrise just about one hour ago. there have been some nice sunrises across eastern scotland where it is across eastern scotland where it is a similar start to the day. frost in aberdeenshire. out west, a mild

start, temperatures in double figures in many cases because we have the cloud working and of the atlantic. the area of cloud is a weather front that will bring outbreaks of rain across the uk today. a little bump developing here will be bringing another pools of heavy rain into eastern england tomorrow. we will see some wet weather at some point this weekend. this is where the rain is, getting into western scotland and easing off into western scotland and easing off in northern ireland but went in wales and western parts of england. through the rest of the day, right across eastern areas, the best of the sun from northeastz. cloud and rain or push yeast. as it does the rain or push yeast. as it does the rain will turn lighter and patio. eventually it will clear to give sunshine across the north west later this afternoon. temperatures on the multi for most, 10—14 with a brisk wind about 30 mph. for bonfire

celebrations, celebrating great uncle guy, it will stay quite doublecrossed eastern areas with patchy outbreaks, nothing too heavy. dry for most of you, but some showers possible for the western counties of northern ireland and western scotland. temperatures, not too cold, non—11 at about nine o'clock tonight. a bit cold in scotland. forthe o'clock tonight. a bit cold in scotland. for the second half of the weekend, low pressure. a bump on the satellite picture is this area of heavy rain working in across eastern areas. i suspect it will be more extensive and harriet —— caveat. what follows behind is a day of sunshine and showers tomorrow. widespread, some heavy with thunder. breaks in between with sunny spells. i had a windy afternoon, particularly across the north—west with gale force winds later that day around the coast. temperatures, 1114. next week, low outbreaks of rain followed by further showers, all the while plenty of isobars that

will continue to be windy with the wind is coming in from the south—west. they will be dragging again some pretty mild air across the country so it is a theme over recent months we have seen. mild weather, temperatures up to 17 in london, four degrees above average for the time of year. rain and showers as we head through next week. that is the latest. the nazi holocaust claimed the lives of six millionjewish people and tore families apart. photographs have helped to identify some of those killed, but many people in pictures from the time remain unknown. now in the us, facial recognition technology is being used to try and put names to faces. our north america technology reporterjames clayton reports. as soon as my aunt heard the boots, she knew that she has to hide me. blanche fixler was a child in poland when the nazis came looking for her.

germans came and they looked every little place, they looked in every corner, and i said, "you'd better not breathe or sneeze or anything, "or you'll be dead." blanche's mother and her siblings were murdered but, thanks to her aunt rose, blanche survived. today, she has few photos from her childhood. many pictures from the 1930s and '405 do survive, though, and hundreds are on display here in the museum ofjewish heritage in new york. butjust like many other museums devoted tojewish heritage, a lot of the people in the photos here are unnamed. often, whole families were killed. no—one was left to identify people. the pictures only have numbers. software engineer daniel patt has been working to help solve this problem using artificial intelligence and facial recognition tech. he calls the project from numbers to names. let's say, for example, you're looking for a photo of your family member. and we scan through hundreds of thousands of photos, millions of faces in seconds.

using the program, daniel believes he's found a picture of blanche that she's never seen before. the algorithm only gives probabilities of matches so today, dan is going to meet blanche to see whether the picture he found, taken in france, is really her. hi! nice to meet you! hi! so, here we go. this is a picture that i found of you. this picture — i don't know if you've seen this before. does this look...? that's me, yeah. the one here? yes _ you can tell? yeah, that's me, yeah, for sure. i'll zoom in so you can get a closer look. oh, wow! 0h, some of these guys i remember. one was my boyfriend! chuckles. and in the picture, her aunt rose — the aunt that saved her. wow, so i think to the best of my knowledge, there's only three people in this group that have been identified so far.

we do know who these children are, but in hundreds of thousands of other photos, people murdered by the nazis remain nameless. the hope is this tech could help. scott miller is not part of the from numbers to names project but says trying to identify victims — even 80 years later — is vital. even just to name somebody, to give somebody a name, you're restoring some semblance of dignity to them. for blanche, the pictures bring back memories — a song that she learnt in her brief time in france. # quand j�*etais mademoiselle, mademoiselle, mademoiselle. # quand j�*etais, mademoiselle, mademoiselle j�*etais! them to go on. you, john. see you later on. mike is here this morning. amazing to see how technology is helping in that search. now, it's time for newswatch with samira ahmed.

hello and welcome to newswatch. as the bbc announces cuts to its local radio and tv services, can it still provide what audiences want? and was it right to invite this climate change sceptic to give her views on question time? after her chancellor kwasi kwarteng delivered his mini budget in september, there were calls for then prime minister liz truss to respond to the resulting criticism. after six days, she did so by facing interviews, not with the national media but with eight local bbc radio stations. while mr truss's performance may have hastened her departure from office three weeks later, that of her interviewers was widely commended. where have you been? we had to take urgent action to get our economy growing, get britain moving and also deal with inflation. on radio stoke, an awkward moment.

we will spend more in mortgage fees under what you have done, based on the predictions, than we would have saved with energy. i don't think anybody is arguing that we should not have acted on energy. on radio kent... time is short. we've seen the bank of england having to intercede because of the measures that your government brought in on friday. this does not normally happen. we are working very, very closely with the bank of england, the bank of england... they are putting putting out your fire, to be fair. the bank of england running independent monetary policy. a rare moment in the national spotlight for bbc local radio and a reminderfor many of its value. this week, though, the corporation announced that there would be cuts to those services with dedicated programming for each of england's 39 local stations ending at 2pm every day. content after that being shared across regions.

this will mean 139 fewer roles in audio teams — though the bbc says there will be additional posts created in investigation and digitaljournalism. the plans have gone down badly, with the culture minister saying the government is disappointed, and the national union ofjournalists describing them as the biggest threat ever to local radio. listeners also expressed their concern with lynn mccadden saying: steve parkes added: and a listener called david added:

well, the bbc�*s director of information spoke to us injuly about cuts to local television news and he joins us again to discuss these plans for local radio. greater sharing across regions. won't that destroy the connection of audiences to their local station? let's remember what these proposals are. we're planning to keep all our local stations, all 39 local stations, completely local between 6am and 2pm when most listeners tune in. and then, during the rest of the afternoon, rather than 39 programmes, we will have 18 programmes across england — still much more local than the local television news services. some of the bigger stations will keep their local services in the afternoon and then, the smaller stations, we'll pair them in twos or threes and they will share programming during that part of the day. you are talking there about cuts. let's be really clear, we're not pulling the wool

over anybody�*s eyes. we're not cutting, we're not reducing our spend on local services but we are changing the way we spend it. and that is to really mirror what we're seeing in terms of the way audiences consume media. more and more people are turning online and expecting strong local content from the bbc. so, we're re—prioritising about 10% of our expenditure on local services towards strengthening local online services and local audience services. localness is the big strength of bbc output and as our viewers were saying, no—one can fund this kind of local radio commercially. so, what is the point of the license fee if the bbc does not do that? we will be more local than ever because we will serve far more people in each local area across television, local radio and, increasingly, across online. the plans will see 130 additional news journalists across our 39 local bases. that's significant strengthening of our news coverage in every part of england.

if we can get this balancing act right, we will keep local radio strong, we will keep regional television news strong, and we will strengthen significantly the local news we are able to offer communities. local radio is valuable, a lifeline to many listeners — particularly older listeners, many who live alone and do not use digital services. didn't covid prove that? why would you throw that away? local radio is a jewel in the crown of the bbc and we want to keep it strong. but we have to make some difficult choices about how we balance our spend across different platforms. if you take the population aged between 65 and 75, more of them today rely on online news than rely on radio news. so, this idea that digital and online is somehow a young person's thing is changing fundamentally before our eyes. it is important that if the bbc will stay relevant to local

communities that we get that balance right. but i want to underline — local radio will remain a huge priority for us. we know it is invaluable and we continue to invest tens of millions of pounds in it. it is the best local radio network in the world and we will keep it that way. we know many local radio presenters will lose theirjobs potentially and much of the evening content, which is now no longer local, it will be regional, much of the content is focused on black and minority communities with presenters from those backgrounds, so you will lose a lot of those potentially. how does that serve audience diversity? as we make these changes we will make sure to stay focused on serving the full breadth of our communities and we do that very carefully. i want to stress even with these changes across the day we still remain much more local than our television news programmes in each region. and i think local identity can be quite fluid. if you go to yorkshire, of course there are rivalries

between bradford and leeds but there is still a strong yorkshire identity, so the idea that localness is defined by county boundaries is not borne out by reality. we need to make sure that those afternoon programmes that we share between two or three stations, that they are as strong as they possibly can be and that is why we'll be investing more money into those programmes that we do today. many people listening, and we had a viewer commenting on it just before, ask why do the bbc insist this is done positive editorial reasons? why not say to cope with very big budget cuts? because we're not cutting our budget for local services. yes, overall the bbc faces a real constraint, the license fee is frozen. but local is incredibly important to the bbc and we are protecting our spend. we are adapting our local services to reach out beyond local radio to make sure that they, too, get value from what we do locally and we do that by strengthening our local content on bbc sounds, by strengthening local news

on bbc apps and websites. everybody who lives locally has an interest in local issues, not just those who listen to local radio. ourjob is to make sure we give value to everybody. thank you very much. the cop climate conference this year starts on sunday in egypt and that along with the recent actions of thejust stop oil protest group has led to an increased focus on the environment on bbc news. it was one of the subjects under discussion on question time last week when the journalist and broadcasterjulia hartley—brewer said this. the world is not on fire and the world is not going to die. this is catastrophising and stuff that is not actually in the scientific sections of the ipcc report. woman here in the stripey t—shirt at the front. this summer should have shown-

everybody that we thought maybe it would be in a few 30 years' time, 2050. l but it is happening right now and i think we really need i to take action. it is called weather. you know... listen, you know know that the consensus is happening more often. i don't think that is in dispute. actually, the ipcc. .. past five years hottest on record, for example. actually there is is actually not consensus on the idea, that many of these extreme weather events are happening more often. i'll leave that with you. they're not. amongst the many people who objected to those comments was anthea eastoe who sent us this e—mail: someone tweeting as 'doubting dennis' added:

we asked bbc news for a response and they told us: finally, breaking news, in case you missed it — bounty bars are going to be removed from some mixed tubs of chocolate after it was discovered that they were often left unwanted at the bottom of the box. the news, if that is what it was, featured on a number of bbc radio and television outlets and on this article on the website.

but christopher mceleny felt that journalists had been duped into promoting a publicity stunt. thank you for all of your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, on tv radio or online on social media, e—mail us. you can find us on twitter. you can call us. and have a look at previous interviews on our website. that is all from us. we'll be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. goodbye.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with tina daheley and charlie stayt. our headlines today: the rail strikes may be off, but a day of disruption on the network is still expected with only a fifth of services running. we'll have all the latest for you on the show. the immigration minister is to have talks with council leaders in kent to deal with rising migrant numbers — nearly 40,000 people have crossed the channel so far this year. criticism for the crown from two former prime ministers ahead of the new series — we'll get an early review from a tv critic. england are into the world cup final. after a battling victory, over canada, this morning, in women's rugby union, and it's now an incredible 30 wins in a row for the red roses. time to face your nemesis? we'll find out why there's just one more weekend to ride britain's most

famous rollercoaster. we're looking at a bright but chilly start to the day across eastern areas. out in the west, thick cloud and a milder start to the day. outbreaks of rain which was spread across the country today. if you want a forecast for the bonfire night celebrations later on i am your guy. will have the forecast details a little bit later on. will have the forecast details a little bit later on. it's saturday the 5th of november. our main story: passengers are being warned to expect "significant disruption" on the railways today, despite strike action being called off. tens of thousands of rail workers had been due to walk out in the long—running dispute over pay and working conditions. strikes planned for monday and wednesday have also been cancelled — as negotiations between the rmt union and train operators are stepped up. our business correspondent, marc ashdown reports.

today's strike action may have been called off but widespread disruption will continue. network rail welcomed the decision but said that services which had been cancelled can't be reinstated at such late notice. a reduced strike timetable means just 20% of services will run across england, scotland and wales. those which do will start much later and finish by the early evening. thousands of members of the rmt union at 14 rail companies, and network rail, are involved in the long—running dispute about pay, jobs and terms and conditions. we are at a late venue tonight and then we are coming back tomorrow morning, so it will affect us. we are at definitely affected by that, i am going to london now and i have to take taxi back which costs us £200. the problem ifind is the information's not conveyed very well, so i know there's some trains running but i don't from what stations or what times, at the moment. the union said that previous strikes had made the rail companies see sense, and it looks forward to intensive negotiations to try and reach a settlement. the rail delivery group said it's

glad the union stepped back from the brink, and it too is committed to negotiating, but it warned passengers will see disruption on monday as well, as it's too late to change strike rosters. the advice is to only travel if absolutely necessary. mark ashdown, bbc news. ben boulos is outside euston station in central london for us this morning. ben, the strikes may be suspended, but passengers are still going to feel the impact aren't they? no picket line here because there is no strike on. it has been called off but the disruption still will affect anyone trying to travel around the uk by train. notjust today but were also being told tomorrow and monday as well because the train operators say it was too late to reinstate

services so the amended timetable will be in play certainly for today with about one in five services running. some train operators have said the disruption will continue even beyond that. avanti are saying it will run a reduced service on wednesday which was also due to be another strike today as well so it will cause disruption particularly for those trying to get to cardiff, for those trying to get to cardiff, for example, for the rugby this afternoon. fewertrains for example, for the rugby this afternoon. fewer trains running before the match and no trains running after the match. scotrail said there will be only a skeleton train service operating in scotland today and it is worth remembering there is a separate dispute, a strike planned for thursday on the london underground. if you're travelling through london, that is still due to go ahead. it is worth stepping back in considering where this leaves the dispute over oil because, yes, this is the first set of strikes that have been called off

and that is a promising sign. there will be intensive talks between the union and train operating companies but on the one hand the union they have been promised a pay offer will be made. when the bbc spoke to the train employees on the government they said their position had not changed so, progress, perhaps, been made but still no absolute resolution to the ongoing dispute. thank you very much. the immigration minister, robertjenrick, says he will meet council leaders from kent in the coming days to discuss how to deal with the rising number of migrants arriving across the channel. earlier this week, a group of councillors sent a letter to the home secretary, suella braverman, saying the county is at breaking point. so far this year, almost 40,000 people have arrived in small boats. our reporter simon jones is in dover. simon, what more do we know about this meeting? and then these meetings with locals there. tell us more.—

there. tell us more. yes, this is very much _ there. tell us more. yes, this is very much dependent _ there. tell us more. yes, this is very much dependent on - there. tell us more. yes, this is very much dependent on the - there. tell us more. yes, this is - very much dependent on the weather. as far as we know, no crossings overnight, but there are a couple of drones out looking for potential channels and also a border force vesseljust channels and also a border force vessel just off the channels and also a border force vesseljust off the kent channels and also a border force vessel just off the kent coast channels and also a border force vesseljust off the kent coast here. it is ready to be called into action if necessary. i have to say, it is a bit windy today so it may be touch and go for crossings but we are not far off that 40,000 figure, it is only going to take another couple of boats or so before we reach it. in terms of what the government is doing you get a sense of how serious this issue is when you consider the immigration minister has already beenin immigration minister has already been in kent three times in the past week. he was at the migrant processing centre on sunday. there's been so much controversy over that due to overcrowding and outbreaks of disease there. and yesterday he was

here in dover once again for a second day. he was with the local mp and speaking to local residents about their concerns. those concerns are shared by council leaders in kent to say the system are simply struggling to cope, that they're really finding it difficult to maintain services with the level of coming in and they will get to put those points themselves to the immigration minister in the coming days. immigration minister in the coming da s. . ., immigration minister in the coming da s. ,, ., ., ~ immigration minister in the coming da s. ,, ., ., ,, , immigration minister in the coming da s. . ., . , . simon, thank you very much. the prime minister has promised to do "absolutely everything he can" to limit the rise in mortgage rates — but has warned "no government can fix every problem". mr sunak was speaking to the times in his first interview as prime minister. our political correspondent david wallace lockhartjoins us now. david, what more as the prime minister revealed in this interview? this is the first sort of detailed interview rishi sunak has given since becoming by minister where he covers a number of areas. there is some colourful anecdotes and then he talks about when liz truss resigned was actually having dinner at tgi friday's and phoned his wife to ask her if she thought he should then

throw his hat in the ring to succeed her. he talks about that meeting he had with borisjohnson when they were both considering to be prime minister and said i tell them i thought i was the best person to do the job. thought i was the best person to do thejob. ultimately, no deal happened on borisjohnson did not run. in terms of policy there is a few interesting nuggets here. we talks about those channel crossings which is heard from simon about, said it is a priority to try to stop them and backs as home secretary

suella braverman using the term invasion to describe them. it talks about how government can solve everyone's problems, specifically talks about that upcoming financial event this month, the autumn statement on the 17th of november, saying he wants to be fair but we do know that tax rises and some cuts are probably going to come out of that. the questions remain about will the government up great benefits at the same rate prices are going up? the same questions for pensions and questions about how services will cope with more cuts after some difficult years. rishi sunak says he wants to protect the more vulnerable but of course there will be a lot of analysis once we get those details of what the likely income, outcome will be and labour says the economy is suffering after 12 years of conservative government. sinn fein's vice president michelle o'neill will accuse the democratic unionist party of holding back power sharing in northern ireland, when she addresses her party's conference in dublin later. sinn fein became the largest party in the stormont assembly for the first time in may, but the dup have refused to help form an executive in protest at post—brexit trading arrangements. we can speak now to our ireland correspondent emma vardy, who joins us from dublin. emma, what more are we expecting to hearfrom michelle o'neill today? politics in northern ireland is often complicated and right now it

is at a stalemate. what is likely to happen today? well, remember, it was a huge moment when sinn fein became the largest party at the stormont elections in may. the first time a nationalist party has been in that position in northern ireland and had michelle o'neill become the first sinn fein first minister of northern ireland that would have been a huge moment. think about the journey of that party. once the political voice of the ira and now at the top of government said today michelle o'neill is going to be telling the conference she believes the real reason, in her view, that the dup won't go into government at stormont is she thinks that dup cannot stomach serving as deputy alongside a sinn fein first minister and even though those roles attack for —— rolls are technically equal. they say their sting out of government because of the opposition to the exit trade arrangements but you can expect your strong words today. this

is not all about northern ireland. sinn fein have a lot to be optimistic about in the republic of ireland too. they have been polling strongly in polls currently indicate sinn fein could become the largest party in the next irish elections in the republic of ireland as well so their ultimate goal of creating a united ireland which would mean northern ireland leaving the uk and joining up with the irish republic, well, that is something that once upon a time seemed like a more remote possibility but is something being taken more seriously so you can expect to hear lots of discussion today. sinn fein want to see more planning for whatever a united ireland might look like but they're certainly going to be in confident form today. they feel that they have momentum on their side. for the moment, thank you. the russian president, vladimir putin, has publicly approved the evacuation of civilians from parts of kherson in southern ukraine. ukraine's forces have steadily been advancing on the strategic port city — which has been occupied by russia since february.

our correspondent is in the capital for us this morning. catherine, how significant is this move? yes, it is cold, it is folky here in kyiv and revealing a big focus for the international community has been about access to power and electricity here in kyiv but looking at president vladimir putin's comments there. he was speaking at a russia's unity day celebrations at moscow's red square. he talked about what is happening further south in the city of her son and said it was right to evacuate civilians from parts of the city that could come under fire said there were dangerous earns. we understand that from the middle of last month at least 70,000 people have been removed from parts of this region in southern ukraine.

ukrainian officials have spoken out against these evacuations, calling them forced deportations. why this is important is because it is the only major city under russian control and what we are seeing and hearing is russian forces, civilians been moved from kherson and been taken to further, deeper into russian held territory. there is the prospect that we did have a major battle in the city in russia could lose more territory in ukraine. thank you. elon musk has defended his decision to sack around half of twitter�*s workforce without warning — a week after buying the social media giant. he said he was left with no choice, as twitter was losing more than 3.5 million pounds a day. mr musk has also insisted the social media platform will continue to moderate content, after concerns were raised about possible disinformation ahead of the mid—term elections in the us.

the family of 29—year—old adam ellison, who was killed five years ago, say they will "fight forever" to getjustice for him. adam was stabbed while walking home from a night out in prescot. no—one has been convicted over his killing and now merseyside police have launched a new appeal for information about the case. his family have spoken about the moment they received the news of his death. it was a friday night and he phoned me and he said, mum, is it all right if! me and he said, mum, is it all right if i stay with you tonight, you and dad? i said yeah, of course. he said am going out with the lads so the last thing he said to me was, love you, mum. and i said i love you, adam and that was the last time i heard his voice. i adam and that was the last time i heard his voice.— heard his voice. i got a phone call from my auntie _ heard his voice. i got a phone call from my auntie julie _ heard his voice. i got a phone call

thank you so much for coming to talk to us. i know it is not easy so we really appreciated and thank you for your time this morning and we should say... your time this morning and we should say... if you have any information about the death of adam ellison, please speak directly to merseyside police or anonymously through crimestoppers. the documentary 'we are england — our adam' is available on the bbc iplayer now. here's chris with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. we've had a lovely start to the day across eastern areas in scotland with fine sunrises. that was the old town around the edinburgh area. carnoustie in angus and that this one. this is known in the highlands of scotland. very still as well. it might be still, might be a fine sunrise but it has also been pretty

chilly. a frost in temperatures down to —4. contrast this with the temperatures in double figures across western areas where we have all of this cloud thickening and bringing some rain. the rain is with this weatherfront which bringing some rain. the rain is with this weather front which stretches out into the atlantic. it's going to bring some more heavy rain into eastern areas as well. today's rain. here it is. moving across northern ireland and starting to ease off here. some wet weather heading into scotland across western areas of england and wales. as the rain continues to push its way eastwards this morning the cloud thickens in the rain will turn a little bit of a lighter and patchy nature and eventually it will clear off for northern ireland. a good chunk of scotland and will start to see brighter skies heading into the north west of england and wales as well. temperatures on the mild side. looking at highs of around 12 a fairly brisk wind with gusts into the 30s. for the bonfire night celebration, but it might patchy

rain left over. a lot of dry weather following that. just a few showers into the far west of the uk. temperatures not too cold. these are nine o'clock temperatures this evening. double figures for many. colder into parts of scotland. tomorrow we have got more rain on the way. that bump i showed you on the way. that bump i showed you on the satellite pictures this heavier zone working across eastern areas and eastern rain will be heavier. further west you will see showers packing in. there will be breaks and showers between any breaks. when speaking up for the afternoon reaching gale force late in the day. temperatures are still mild. beyond that into next week, low pressure is going to stay firmly in charge of our weather. another band starting to come through on monday. quite a windy day with showers later in the week. it is going to stay unsettled and blustery but the wind is always

coming insert is going to be mild. temperatures going to 17 in london. that is the latest. back to you. whether you love them, or hate them — the unveiling of christmas adverts has become a bit of a 'moment�* in recent years — signalling the festive season is just around the corner. this year, many of the major supermarket chains have brought forward their advertising campaigns — in the hope of targeting shoppers looking to spread out the cost. let's take a look at some of them... a feast was being planned. side of glazed gammon. yes, yes, i love all that. a little girl missed

her bare. come home, bear, come home, bear. christmas day came with everything she could wish for, even a little, little bear. big hug, tasty food, narrative complete. this christmas that gifts you give help us to support community causes near you. amna khan is a lecturer in consumer behaviours and retail at manchester metropolitan university. shejoins us now. a bit earlier than usual we have seen the christmas ads but it is a difficult one because you have to be sensitive about the cost of living crisis but people also want escapism, don't they? you'll make they absolutely do. consumers have been through so much uncertainty since covid and they want some kind of escapism but they also want that

feel good factor. the cost of living crisis has with the increased uncertainty and we can see that in the wake on scimitars and managing their spend. a lot of them are going into stores now. they're managing their cash and thinking about their budget so these christmas ads have come at the perfect time because christmas ads are great at lifting the consumer's made and what we need. i the consumer's made and what we need. .., �* . the consumer's made and what we need. .. �* , . , need. i can't remember which it is, but we wanted _ need. i can't remember which it is, but we wanted to _ need. i can't remember which it is, but we wanted to spend _ need. i can't remember which it is, but we wanted to spend less. - need. i can't remember which it is, but we wanted to spend less. one | need. i can't remember which it is, i but we wanted to spend less. one of the change has that has a kind of catchphrase but i think that is the awkward situation because normally you be encouraging people to spend more money and you kind of want them to but you don't want it to feel like that when you see the pictures. i think you're going to talk as though some of the ads now and maybe we can see some of them so it is like they're trying to make people feel happier, maybe.— feel happier, maybe. absolutely. consumer sentiment _ feel happier, maybe. absolutely. consumer sentiment and - feel happier, maybe. absolutely. i consumer sentiment and confidence feel happier, maybe. absolutely. - consumer sentiment and confidence is really— consumer sentiment and confidence is really lowered when confidence and sentiment is low and simmer start to pull back— sentiment is low and simmer start to pull back and spends what they have

hello, this is breakfast, with tina daheley and charlie stayt. 8:33am, lets get some sport. are you feeling festive, mike? not at all, i don't mean to be a grinch! there is far too much but, although it will be a weird christmas this year with the football world cup. in the early hours of this morning. yes, so much action already today and congratulations to england's women at the rugby union world cup placing —— taking place in new zealand. they were the favourites and they got the job done, they have booked their place in the final. beating canada 26—19. that scoreline will tell you that this was a real battle, with the canadians proving to be a real test for the red roses in auckland. our sports reporter jo currie is in auckland for the tournament, and joins me now. hi,jo. huge relief in the england camp to get through this test and a 30th win in a row.

absolutely, to put this game into context, england are the number one side in the world, they came into this game 29 games unbeaten and they have not lost in three years. canada, on the other hand, they are amateur. but they absolutely matched england pretty much all the way till the end, both teams scored three tries so essentially, england won and kicking. they would have expected to win this game, far more comfortable lead than they did. this was a lot closer than they would have liked and trust me, at the end of that game, there were tired and bruised england bodies and relief faces, but they got the job done and they are into the world cup final. absolutely, it looks a great atmosphere as the night draws in in auckland. and we know in the last few minutes they will face a host new zealand in the final after they beat france by a point so looking ahead, the crystal ball is out, who goesin ahead, the crystal ball is out, who goes in as favourites now? yes. ahead, the crystal ball is out, who goes in as favourites now?- goes in as favourites now? yes, it has 'ust goes in as favourites now? yes, it has just gone _ goes in as favourites now? yes, it hasjust gone 9:30pm _ goes in as favourites now? yes, it hasjust gone 9:30pm at -

goes in as favourites now? yes, it hasjust gone 9:30pm at night - goes in as favourites now? yes, it| hasjust gone 9:30pm at night and has just gone 9:30pm at night and the second semifinal between new zealand and france hasjust finished, you can tell by the many happy kiwi faces coming out behind me. but this is the final that everybody was talking about that this is what they wanted. england were favourites coming in, but everybody wanted new zealand to reach the final because they are defending champions. this is the host country, their home tournament, so if you want a big crowd and you want the host nation to be in there. but the last world cup final in 2017 was england against new zealand so england have talked about they have not used the word revenge, but a lot of players have talked about the devastation four years ago and how much they wanted to face new zealand in that final. england have played them twice in the last year. in england in the autumn internationals, they beat them heavily twice and they will go into this relatively confident.— this relatively confident. maybe that scare almost _ this relatively confident. maybe that scare almost they - this relatively confident. maybe that scare almost they had - this relatively confident. maybe i that scare almost they had against canada this morning will have done them good and may be a wake—up call they needed going into the final. absolutely, england have been relatively untested in this

tournament so far. they had a tough game against france in the group stage, but many people said they had not really proved what stage they were at during the tournament so far, so the fact they got pushed so hard by canada, an amateur side, will be a wake—up call. players i spoke to said they knew they did not play particularly well last night and if they play like that against new zealand in that final, they are unlikely to lift that world cup. tonight was tight but, essentially, i think it will do them the world of current. . ,., . ., ., current. thanks so much, it looks treat, current. thanks so much, it looks great. cracking — current. thanks so much, it looks great, cracking atmosphere - current. thanks so much, it looks great, cracking atmosphere after| current. thanks so much, it looks i great, cracking atmosphere after the new zealand win. —— the world of good. live from auckland. with less than a year to go before the men's world cup, the autumn internationals are in full swing this weekend. england play argentina tomorrow while, today, wales will be hoping to end a 69—year wait to beat new zealand. they last beat the all blacks in the late queen's coronation year, 1953, and if they're to do

it today in cardiff, they might have to without leigh halfpenny. he is a doubt, with a hamstring injury, which could mean a first start, in five years for rhys priestland. ireland have very happy memories of the last time that south africa came to dublin. they thrashed them in 2017, but now, the visitors are the world champions and stuart mccloskey replaces the injured robbie henshaw. and scotland have made six changes from their defeat to australia last weekend. adam hastings is preferred at fly—half to blair kinghorn, who missed what would have been a winning penalty against the wallabies. the financial problems facing english rugby clubs after the covid pandemic continue to bite, with exeter chiefs now saying they plan to sell some "non—rugby assets" to help them pay off government loans. while on the pitch, the team's losing run continued at northampton last night, where the saints lost 26—19 in the rugby premiership. tommy freeman's second try ultimately proving the difference.

now, this afternoon will be the most physical test yet, for england the hosts in the rugby league world cup. against the power houses of papua new guinnea. in fact, it's a double—header at the dw stadium in wigan, with england women's group stage match against canada, followed by england's men facing up to papua new guinea in their quarterfinal. it is the pinnacle of your career playing for your country. it is not just a normal game, it is neverjust a rugby game when you pay for your country. playing for your country represented people that have come before you and everybody else that has played, and your homeland and your family and has played, and your homeland and yourfamily and it is has played, and your homeland and your family and it is absolutely massive. the rugby league world cup favourites, australia, are comfortably into the semi—finals after thrashing lebanon 48—4 in huddersfield. the tournament's top scorer josh addo—carr scored five tries. now that lebanon are out, their coach michael cheika can get back to his dayjob in charge of argentina's rugby union side for their game

against england tomrrow. it's fa cup first—round weekend, and non—league hereford may now be out, but they will always have a place in fa cup folklore, thanks to the heroics of the late ronnie radford, who passed away this week. and so last night, hereford fans paid their respects to their most famous ex—player, before playing portsmouth and all these decades on, it was apt that their goal scorer was miles storey, wearing the number 11 shirt worn by ronnie radford when he scored his iconic goal against newcastle. last night, it was 1—all at half time, but league one portsmouth were just too good and went on to win 3—1, joe pigott with the third. in the other cup game, sheffield wednesday beat morecambe 2—0. the biggest gulf between two teams in this round is the huge gap between the amateurs

of bracknell town, from the southern premier league, south division, and former winners ipswich town, now second in league one. but as the bracknell players have been going about their dayjobs this week, they have been able to call on some wizardry to help their cause. i've been to the berkshire town to find out more. harry potter theme plays in the street where harry potter first delivered magic, the captain of the football club is hoping to draw some inspiration from the bracknell cul—de—sac where scenes in the first harry potter movie were filmed — when they had a budget for proper owls. now, dan bayliss is making a delivery of his own as part of his dayjob, and dreams of conjuring up the wizardry that will be needed to be former winners ipswich town. it's something that we only ever dreamed of, former european winners, former fa cup winners. it's a crazy, crazy experience that, you know, may never happen again so, hopefully, we can have a bit of magic and get a result. # bracknell's on fire! like the magic of the last qualifying round, when bracknell — the amateur team from the seventh tear of english football — knocked out a side from the division above to reach the round proper.

# bracknell's on fire! and they do have a wizard of their own, their chairman, kayne. who, along with his wife, has been rebuilding the club since 2015. they've moved the club to a revamped stadium seven miles away in sandhurst. last season, they won promotion to the southern league premier south followed by the first round now the fa cup. an immensely proud feeling because a lot of what we've done doesn't get recognised nationally. surprisingly, even in the town, people still don't know what you do. come on! what this has done is really put the spotlight on bracknell and that, i think, that's the magic of the fa cup — it'sjust, it brings everyone together and it spikes interest. bracknell may have been on the up recently, but this is by far and away the biggest day in the club's history. over 100 places between themselves and league1 ipswich town in the footballing pyramid but, you know, as they continue their day jobs in the build—up to this match, they are hoping they can get the right chemistry for a football story that will defy footballing times.

for strikerjoe grant, who works for a chemical firm, the first—round draw has already been life—changing. cheering and applause this was the reaction at a pub when fans found out they'd be playing ipswich town, who famously beat arsenal in 1978 to win the fa cup. commentator: the blue and white of ipswich! it seems everyone you're sort of talking at the minute is talking about the game. people are saying, no drinking this weekend! "no eating rubbish food because you've got to get yourself ready." it's massive. i mean, it's something i'm dreaming of at the minute and something i'm constantly thinking of, to get the winning goal. it's brought the community together. the people have a real buzz. if you go to the town centre, they all talk about it. - at work, we're all talking about it, | and we are supporting them 100%. hoping to mastermind what would be one of the big fa cup shocks in recent times, bracknell's double act. an architect and a paint sprayer, carl and jamie, thejoint managers. we're like yin and yang, you know? i think if you speak to our wives, we very much —

we're on the phone an awful lot. but i think since we stepped into management, you know, we felt like doing it together, itjust works, you know? we've a great friendship off the pitch. i think we're going to need all the help we can get. they're a full—time club and a massive, massive club. so, yeah, any bit of magic — you always need a bit of luck in every game you play. beating ipswich in the fa cup would be beyond the comprehension and belief of most muggles but, of course, we are in bracknell, where stranger things have happened. professor dumbledore has been ruled out with an injury so it will be the normal brecel team, just to confirm! got any more? —— bracknell. south shields may have their own magic over forest green rovers on bbc one from midday, south shields of the seven series against forest green struggling in league

one, followed by the rugby league, england against papua new guinea. so much going on, and england taking on sri lanka in the t20 cricket world cup. england needed to win to make the semifinals and sri lanka have got off to a rapid start and sri lanka were 51—1 the last time i checked after five overs. all the fives. lots of sport going on. very exciting, so no time to think about christmas, but we do think about guy fawkes night. we do, and we will go to chris with a weather update on the 5th of november. we have been spoilt this morning the sun rises particular across eastern england and northern and eastern scotland where there have been beauties. this is carnoustie and angus. and this is nairn in highland scotland as well. if you are out west and worrying, have a misty sunrise? well, no, you haven't, it has been much milder across western areas and the reason is we have extensive cloud working in from the

atlantic and this is rain bearing clouds that will sweep across the uk. so bright but chilly start across eastern areas, it will cloud over with rain on the way in this weather front stretch is a long way out into the atlantic. a bump on the frontjust here brings more heavy rain across eastern england for tomorrow as well. so it will certainly be rainy this weekend. at the moment, the rain is pushing its way eastwards so it is starting to ease in northern ireland, pretty wet weather for england, wales and scotland increasingly as well. as the rain works eastwards, it will turn lighter and patchy, so no huge amounts of rain across central and eastern england, the rain might and patchy through much of the central belt. and across the north west, it will turn brighter later in the day, you will get sunshine and temperatures about ten to 14 degrees with a brisk south—westerly wind, costs up to 30 mph. for the bonfire celebrations later this evening, not looking too bad. some cloud and light patchy rain at times. two and

eastern england but otherwise, a lot of you have in dry weather with clear skies, showers across the far north west are not too cold. for most of us, temperatures around double figures. ten to 14 degrees, but a bit colder in parts of scotland where we will have clearer skies in central and eastern parts. we are not done with the ranges yet because for the second half of the weekend, that bump on the weather front is this sone of heavier rain targeting eastern areas of england and i suspect the rain will be more extensive here in nature, probably quite heavy as well. towards the west, is a day of sunshine and showers, shower is quite heavy, common —— some of them could have done do, and turning increasingly windy, the threat of gales later in the day across the north west. temperatures 12 to 14 degrees for most so again, still pretty mild thanks to those south—westerly winds. into next week, south—westerly winds dominate thanks to this area of low pressure. a band of rain coming across the country on monday, clearing tuesday to a day of

sunny spells and showers. really, it is quite an unsettled looking weather pattern with rain or showers really are and most of the days of the week. but it will be very mild, temperatures in london could hit 70 degrees towards the end of the week, 4 degrees above the november average. tina charlie, back to you. it's one of the uk's most famous roller coasters but, this weekend, nemesis at alton towers is closing for a major revamp after nearly 30 years. the ride was the first inverted rollercoaster in europe when it opened in 1994 — with passengers sitting beneath the tracks rather than on top of them. ben sidwell has been finding out why it's been such an enduring hit.

we knew we were doing something special, but we didn't realise just how special it was going to be. in the early 1990s, john woodley came up with the idea for a very different type of roller—coaster, one buried deep on the ground and immersed in its own story. his creation nemesis was unlike anything that had been seen in europe before. that was the most sensational thing i have ever done. when nemesis opened, people are coming from theme parks all around the world to see it and they still do. and although a number of these rights have been built all around the world, since, everyone says nemesis is still the best. ,, . everyone says nemesis is still the best. ., . ., best. since it opened in 1984, more than 40 million _ best. since it opened in 1984, more than 40 million riders _ best. since it opened in 1984, more than 40 million riders have - best. since it opened in 1984, more than 40 million riders have been i best. since it opened in 1984, more than 40 million riders have been upj than 40 million riders have been up nemesis, travelling of speeds up to 50 mph and experience g force of 3.5. richard jones from

fans of the hit netflix drama the crown don't have much longer to wait until the highly anticipated fifth series is released on wednesday — but the show is already facing criticism over historical accuracy. this morning, two former prime ministers — tony blair and john major — joined a number of other high—profile actors and politicians questioning events featured in the hit drama, which depicts queen elizabeth's reign. the trailer hints at some of the events the series will focus on, let's take a look. she's at breaking point because of the way she feels she's been treated. they see her as a threat. remember the one condition, the one rule. you remain loyal to this family.

you mean silent? yes, it's a system, for better or for worse. we're all stuck in it. it feels it's all about to erupt. she opens her mouth and hand grenades come out. she wants to tear down the temple. let's go for it. what the hell is she doing?! i won't go quietly. i'll battle till the end. 0ur glories belong to the past. and the world will move on. and we'll be left with nothing. how did it come to this? tv critic scott bryan has been one of the lucky few to get a first look at the new series and hejoins us now. you have been watching a lot of the

crown in the last few days! i you have been watching a lot of the crown in the last few days!- crown in the last few days! i can't moan about _ crown in the last few days! i can't moan about it, _ crown in the last few days! i can't moan about it, it _ crown in the last few days! i can't moan about it, it is _ crown in the last few days! i can't moan about it, it isjust _ crown in the last few days! i can't moan about it, it isjust watching| moan about it, it is just watching tv at the end of the day, but i have seen the other series of the crown and it has always been interesting because it provides a snapshot of british history and simultaneously looks at the royal family. with all of the criticism it has received with some people saying it should have a disclaimer before hand, i have a disclaimer before hand, i have always seen it as what it is, a drama. ifind the have always seen it as what it is, a drama. i find the fact it has been there for four seasons beforehand, i think people see this as a version of events that could be fictionalised in the same way many other dramas have been providing fictionalised accounts. i guess with the crown, it is a bit surreal because of its attention to detail. it looks really real and the performances have mannerisms that pretty much match the actual royals themselves. ~ . pretty much match the actual royals themselves-— pretty much match the actual royals themselves. . , ., ., ., , themselves. what period of time does it cover? i themselves. what period of time does it cover? i feel— themselves. what period of time does it cover? i feel this _ themselves. what period of time does it cover? i feel this is _ themselves. what period of time does it cover? i feel this is more _ it cover? ifeel this is more controversial than the other series so far. yes, it is covering a tumultuous time for the royal family, the 19805 and everything

with regards to the divorce between diana and charles and sarah ferguson and prince andrew. but also, i think the windsorfire. there is and prince andrew. but also, i think the windsor fire. there is an overarching theme this series of the decline of the royal family and their popularity throughout that decade. and i think the bbc is going to be scrutinised because there is an episode that looks at how martin basheer was able to get that panorama interview, the bbc has apologised for that. but we have not yet seen it traumatised. i think when viewers see how martin was able to get the interview, i think they will be shocked, even though they know how it happened. you know television and alljuices very well and most people can love a thing and watch it and love it and they don't as too many questions, but when you have, as we have, two former prime ministers going on the record to say, and i will read to tony blair's quote and he is featured quite extensively. a spokesperson for tony

blair says, extensively. a spokesperson for tony blairsays, it extensively. a spokesperson for tony blair says, it should come as no surprise that this is complete and utter rubbish. related to conversations they are depicting in narratives that have taken place between him, other prime ministers, with the royal family. when you are watching it and you presumably knew some of the criticism around it, does that trouble you at all well you are watching it or are you able to go, no, just love it and enjoy and watch it? it to go, no, just love it and en'oy and watch md and watch it? it is a really interesting _ and watch it? it is a really interesting question - and watch it? it is a really i interesting question because and watch it? it is a really - interesting question because it is so complex and i would be really frustrated if i was in this drama and something didn't happen when i think it should. i have always had the approach of treating this like a fictionalised drama. if you look at the royal family, this position within society has always been a bit of an enigma. the fact there is the things we all see in terms of pageantry and speeches and at buckingham palace, big series events, there is also a lot of conversation that happens around that we will never know, there has

always been an element of secrecy. the crown has always, uses this space as a way to even an interpretation of what they think would be interesting tv. i don't think they have tried to have the authoritative account of the truth. i can understand why people might be frustrated and upset about it, but i don't think the crown has ever tried to be a documentary. it isjust providing creative license. bi]! to be a documentary. it is 'ust providing creative license. all the wa alon: providing creative license. all the way along the _ providing creative license. all the way along the line, _ providing creative license. all the way along the line, the _ providing creative license. all the way along the line, the drama i providing creative license. all the| way along the line, the drama has had a fantastic cast and this is no different. i had a fantastic cast and this is no different. . ., , , , . ,. different. i mean, elizabeth debicki is fantastic. — different. i mean, elizabeth debicki is fantastic, dominic— different. i mean, elizabeth debicki is fantastic, dominic west. - different. i mean, elizabeth debicki is fantastic, dominic west. imelda l is fantastic, dominic west. imelda staunton, she captured the queen's mannerisms impeccably well, really strong. and it is also an interesting era because it hits the 19905 and the cast resembles how we know the royal family are like today, which is even a little bit weirder. , ., , , weirder. does it matter because it is more contemporary, _ weirder. does it matter because it is more contemporary, we - weirder. does it matter because it is more contemporary, we are - weirder. does it matter because it is more contemporary, we are as| weirder. does it matter because it i is more contemporary, we are as an audience more familiar with those people that we remember in real

time, does it matter how much they look like the people who they are representing? because in the past, maybe you had more license. are you occasionally looking and thinking, he doesn't really look like him? this is why i think this season of the crown is not as good as previous series because you end up scrutinising all those little changes and whether people match up. whether the events themselves were exactly as you remember watching them. i think that is the difference. sometimes, you get sidetracked in your own head thinking about the events themselves rather than the actual drama of what they are trying to show. having said that, i binged all the episodes, i really enjoyed them. i think some episodes are better than others, i think some definitely felt like a bit of a filler. but i still found it is a drama which is one—of—a—kind and i think it will be one certainly that gets people talking. d0 and i think it will be one certainly that gets people talking.- that gets people talking. do you think there _ that gets people talking. do you think there will _ that gets people talking. do you think there will be _ that gets people talking. do you think there will be more - that gets people talking. do you i think there will be more interesting it now because it does a tumultuous time in charles�*s life who is now

monarchy in a much more favourable term. so i think it looks like hell public opinion is certainly changed in only three decades. scott public opinion is certainly changed in only three decades.— in only three decades. scott has seen it, in only three decades. scott has seen it. we _ in only three decades. scott has seen it, we haven't, _ in only three decades. scott has seen it, we haven't, but - in only three decades. scott has seen it, we haven't, but you - in only three decades. scott hasj seen it, we haven't, but you can soon —— how public opinion. thank you very much. the new series of the crown starts on netflix on the 9th of november. stay with us, plenty more still to come on breakfast. good morning welcome to breakfast with tina daheley and charlie stayt.

our headlines today: the rail strikes may be off, but a day of disruption on the network is still expected with only a fifth of services running. we'll have all the latest for you on the show. the immigration minister is to have talks with council leaders in kent to deal with rising migrant numbers — nearly 40—thousand people have crossed the channel so far this year. so we are here with a group of ten underprivileged youngsters who are about to set up on the tip of a lifetime to antarctica. they are just getting used to the cold and having some fun before the real work starts. having some fun before the real work starts. england reach the world cup final, and they'll face hosts new zeland, england reach the world cup final, and they'll face hosts new zealand, next week after battling past canada, this morning, in women's rugby union. a weekend of grassroots football with a difference. parents and

coaches are encouraged to stay silent and just encourage the kids and young players with applause. we'll find out what coaches and staff you have to think about that in the next half hour or so. we are looking at a bright but chilly start today across eastern areas. out in the west, mild start to the day but outbreaks of rain here and that will spread across the country today. now, if you are after a forecast for the bonfire night celebrations later on, i am your guy. the bonfire night celebrations later on, lam your guy. i the bonfire night celebrations later on, i am your guy. i will have all the forecast details a little bit later on. it's saturday the 5th of november. our main story. passengers are being warned to expect "significant disruption" on the railways today, despite strike action being called off. tens of thousands of rail workers had been due to walk out

in the long—running dispute over pay and working conditions. strikes planned for monday and wednesday have also been cancelled — a5 negotiations between the rmt union and train operators are stepped up. our business correspondent, marc ashdown reports. today's strike action may have been called off but widespread disruption will continue. network rail welcomed the decision but said that services which had been cancelled can't be reinstated at such late notice. a reduced strike timetable means just 20% of services will run across england, scotland and wales. those which do will start much later and finish by the early evening. thousands of members of the rmt union at 14 rail companies, and network rail, are involved in the long—running dispute about pay, jobs and terms and conditions. we are at a late venue tonight and then we are coming back tomorrow morning, so it will affect us. we are at definitely affected by that, i am going to london now and i have to take taxi back which costs u5 £200. the problem ifind is the information's not conveyed very well, so i know there's some trains running but i don't from what stations or what times, at the moment.

the union said that previous strikes had made the rail companies see sense, and it looks forward to intensive negotiations to try and reach a settlement. the rail delivery group said it's glad the union stepped back from the brink, and it too is committed to negotiating, but it warned passengers will see disruption on monday as well, as it's too late to change strike rosters. the advice is to only travel if absolutely necessary. mark ashdown, bbc news. ben boulos is outside euston station in central london for us this morning. ben, the strikes may be suspended, but passengers are still going to feel the impact aren't they? there is no picket line because there is no strike but still plenty of disruption. it's notjust today but also expected to last into

tomorrow and monday as well. today, for example, just one in five services running around the uk. avanti west services running around the uk. ava nti west coast, services running around the uk. avanti west coast, just one operator pointing out it will be running a reduced service on wednesday which was due to be another strike day because of the short notice, they can't, they say, the roster staff on. it is having an impact today with people trying to get to the rugby match in cardiff. there will be very few trains running before that. there will be no trains according to network rail wells running after the match. scotrail says it is only running a skeleton

service today and it is worth remembering there is a separate dispute affecting the london underground on thursday. a strike is planned on the tube and that, as things stand, is still due ahead. where does this leave the dispute overall? well, it is a good sign they called off this set of strikes and it is the first time there done that and suggest there is the hope of progress being made but still currently a barrett, a flesh ballot for strike action. the rmt said it will not hesitate to call for the industrial action if it feels that is necessary. there is a bit of a discrepancy. the rmt secretary mick lynch said the train operating companies and network rail have promised to come up with a pay offer. the bbc has spoken to the employer to save their position has not changed so still some gaps, apparently, between the two sides. then, thank you. the immigration minister, robertjenrick, says he will meet council leaders from kent in the coming days to discuss how to deal with the rising number of migrants arriving across the channel. earlier this week, a group of councillors sent a letter to the home secretary, suella braverman, saying the county is at breaking point. so far this year, almost 40,000 people have arrived in small boats. our reporter simon jones is in dover. simon, what more do we know about this meeting?

we know that this morning the prime minister has said he is determined to tackle the issue of channel crossings and you get a sense of just how big a priority this is for the government by the fact that the immigration minister has been in kent three times over the last few days. he was at manston last sunday seeing the immigration centre in the headlines in the past week because of overcrowding and fears of disease. then yesterday he was evened over for a second time this week meeting local residents to hear their concerns and he is also in the coming days going to be hearing the concerns of council leaders in kent to feel that the system here simply

being overwhelmed dealing with the number of arrivals and they also point out that they have the largest number of ukrainian refugees compared to anywhere else in the country so they say the system is at breaking point. now in terms of crossings, we have not seen any so far today. we have seen a helicopter up far today. we have seen a helicopter up in air. a borderforce cut out in the channel and also some drones say there is the potential, certainly, there is the potential, certainly, the authorities are on standby for crossings. i think things a touch and go with the weather because it is quite choppy out there in the channel, even though you can clearly see out to france. what other headaches for the government, we have the hearing overnight there is been a disturbance at an immigration removal centre in middlesex not far from heathrow. it houses over 600 people. the authorities, the home office are telling us appropriate people have been sent to try to bring that under control but another sign of the tension here when we talk about immigration. the prime minister has promised to do "absolutely everything he can" to limit the rise in mortgage rates — but has warned "no government can fix every problem". mr sunak was speaking to the times in his first interview as prime minister. our political correspondent david wallace lockhartjoins us now. david, what more as the prime

minister revealed in this interview? a wide—ranging interview. just take us through some of the key themes. abs, us through some of the key themes. lot of talk about the economy in this. some colour at the beginning of the interview whether she seen that talks about being in tgi friday's when liz truss resigned. he phoned his wife to ask if she thought he should try and have another stab at going for the top job. it talks about the meeting he had with borisjohnson when both were considering a bid to get back to number ten and he said he told him i thought i was the best person for thejob. there was no deal done, obviously, borisjohnson ended up not running this time round. it gets into policy in this interview. he talks about those crossings in the channel and says he is committed to bringing the numbers down and back suella braverman the home secretary using the term invasion to describe

those boat crossings. he also talks about the fact he believes government can't do everything for everyone. it talks about this upcoming financial event were going to have this month, the autumn statement, saying he wants it to be fair but we do know there will be cuts coming from that and the treasury is thinking about tax rises across the board for everyone. pretty synnex says he wants to protect the most vulnerable but we don't know benefits are going to rise at the same rate costs are rising, we don't know if pensions will rise and there is a big question about how services will cope with cuts given that some are already struggling at the moment i think a lot of analysis, once we know what is in that budget on november 17 will be about what it means for most vulnerable. labour are saying the economy is suffering due to being subject to 12 years of conservative government but of course visually see next says he is the man to improve the country's situation. the country's situation. sinn fein's vice president michelle o'neill will accuse

the democratic unionist party of holding back power sharing in northern ireland, when she addresses her party's conference in dublin later. sinn fein became the largest party in the stormont assembly for the first time in may, but the dup have refused to help form an executive in protest at post—brexit trading arrangements. we can speak now to our ireland correspondent emma vardy, who joins us from dublin. emma, what more are we expecting to hearfrom michelle o'neill today? what more can we expect to hear from today. there has been a political vacuum now since may. what are the expectations for today? that vacuum now since may. what are the expectations for today?— expectations for today? that is ri . ht. expectations for today? that is right- you _ expectations for today? that is right. you have _ expectations for today? that is right. you have to _ expectations for today? that is right. you have to remember i expectations for today? that is j right. you have to remember it expectations for today? that is - right. you have to remember it was a huge historic moment for sinn fein back at those may elections when they became the largest party in the stormont assembly. the first time a nationalist party has been in that position since the formation of northern ireland 100 years ago. a huge moment. michelle o'neill stepped into the first minister's role. think about the journey this

party has been on. once the voice of the ira are now at the top of government. she says the dup can't stomach taking up the deputy first minister role alongside a nationalist first minister even though those roles are technically equal, it is all about perception. of equal, it is all about perception. of course, the ddp denies this and said it is staying at the power—sharing because of its objection to the back seat arrangement so we can expect to hear strong words about the stormont crisis today but it is not all about northern ireland. they've been polling strongly in the republic of ireland and they could become the

largest party in the republic too, the next irish election for the ultimate goal of creating united ireland, leaving the uk, that is something which seemed once upon a time a remote possibility but now has been taken more seriously. for now, thank you. for now, thank you. the russian president, vladimir putin has publicly approved the evacuation of civilians from parts of kherson in southern ukraine. ukraine's forces have been steadily advancing on the strategic port city — which has been occupied by russia since february. our correspondent is in the capital for us this morning. catherine, how significant is this move? it is very foggy this morning. tell us about the latest developments there. , ., ., us about the latest developments there. ,., ., ., ., there. good morning. he would usually be _ there. good morning. he would usually be able _ there. good morning. he would usually be able to _ there. good morning. he would usually be able to see - there. good morning. he would usually be able to see a - there. good morning. he would usually be able to see a lovely. there. good morning. he would - usually be able to see a lovely view of downtown kyiv but right now there is essentially a fog. winter is coming to ukraine and we are seeing further developments on the battlefield further south in the and the focus right now has been on the city of her son and we heard the comments from the presidency he supported evacuation further into

russian —controlled territory. it is hard first to get much information so these comments from president putin really give us may be an insight into the russian strategy at the moment. but at the same time, ukrainian voices say they're not really taking anything for granted. over the next few days we've been hearing about russian military movements in the city. the city we understand is now under 24—hour curfew. we understand the russian commanding officers are leaving the centre of kherson, said in the russian withdrawal from the city as ukrainian voices move on to take what is one of russia's strongholds in ukraine. . ~ what is one of russia's strongholds in ukraine. ., ,. ,., what is one of russia's strongholds in ukraine. . ~' ,. , . thank you very much. elon musk has defended his decision to sack around half of twitter�*s workforce without warning — a week after buying the social media giant. he said he was left with no choice, a5 twitter was losing more than 3.5 million pounds a day.

carers and is committed to helping them financially. peter whittlesea reports. making ends meet is a puzzle that many unpaid carers are struggling to solve this winter. john peters has emphysema and copd. have not found this piece yet? years cared for by his wife, helen. they have seen their household bills saw in recent months. i dreaded if we get it really, really cold, freezing, if the heating will be running all day, every day, instead of on the clock like it is now. i worry about each time i go shopping, the cost of food is more. it is all your daily stuff, it is not luxuries. again, with the heat, it is not a luxury to be warm. a survey by the charity, carers uk says one in six

unpaid carers are indebted as they monthly bills. one in three say they had to cut back on food and heating. the worst affected are those who receive their carers' allowance, which is £69.70 per week for those providing 35 hours or more of unpaid care. unpaid carers unlike the rest of us can'tjust put a jumper on and switch the heating off because they need to keep the person who is vulnerable safe. they need to have that temperature — the consistent heat. they need to ensure that important medical equipment is kept on. helen and john have embraced technology to keep energy bills down but he relies on an electricity mobility cuter to get around and he struggles to breathe if it gets cold or damp. in summer it is fantastic, but the bungalow is lovely and warm, we don't have the heating on. in the we have to have it

on the majority of the day. yes, i have a vest on, i have a body warmer on, and i will put a fleece on if necessary. carers uk is campaigning for allowances to cover inflationary pressures. the department for work and pensions says it recognises the valuable role of unpaid carers and is committed to helping them financially — along with their health, wellbeing and employment chances. it says universal credit includes a carer's element worth more than 160 pounds a month. we're joined now by harry kind, consumer affairs journalist at which, and personalfinance journalist faith archer. these are carers who are, alongside

of their community to be part of the adventure. john maguire can tell us more. tell us more. yes, did you see my breath condensing? it is —3 here in hemel hempstead at the snow centre in full swing, a bit empty early on, but lots of different ski lessons going on. the young people have come here to get acclimatised and have fun and do snowboarding, get themselves nice and tired before the long flight —— flight to buenos aires tomorrow. money can morning! trier? flight to buenos aires tomorrow. money can morning! very sprightly and ready to _ money can morning! very sprightly and ready to go — money can morning! very sprightly and ready to go and _ money can morning! very sprightly and ready to go and they _ money can morning! very sprightly and ready to go and they have - money can morning! very sprightly and ready to go and they have an i and ready to go and they have an incredible couple of weeks ahead of them. i am superjealous. let's see what they will get up to. they are travelling from the four corners of the uk to the end of the earth. antarctica. the ten underprivileged young people will spend the next two weeks here, exploring, experimenting, experiencing. ok, so you have the one for malachi? it's the brainchild of two

adventurers who believe people from a wider range of backgrounds deserve the chance to visit the world's wildest places. we want them to know that antarctica is not this place that is a myth, legend, only on tv. it's a real place and has a lot of consequences to us and we need to protect it, and we think the best way to get these young people to start looking at nature and the outdoors a5 a viable career path and something worth looking after is by taking them out into the thick of it. the whole idea and motto is, it's not about planting flags, it's about planting seeds, and by picking the young people from some of these deprived areas, we have planted the seed that anyone from any area or any background can do this, and we want them to plant a seed in their own community to show that everyone can do good. ten chosen from 700, most of whom were put forward by their local communities. owen was recommended by a police officer. i think there is a link- between inner—city challenges

in certain pockets of merseyside and his ability to sort _ of turn his back on that i and access the outdoors. and through the outdoors i and through his engagement with school and working alongside other partner agencies, _ i was happy to nominate him for this opportunity. - why would someone pay for just a random lad from liverpool to go to antarctica? so, it was quite a shock. the expedition aims to be carbon—neutral, so the team has been planting trees. the teenagers had to take part in a pay it forward scheme, earning their place on the trip by volunteering in their local area. i did litter—picking to help our community, so there's not much rubbish going around to make the place prettier and just better for everyone. i'm really excited to go see what is happeningi
