good afternoon. the firebombing of an immigration processing centre in kent was motivated by extreme right—wing ideology and met the threshold for a terror incident, police have said. 66—year—old andrew leak carried out the attack at the site in dover last sunday. two members of staff at the centre were left with minor injuries. he is believed to have later taken his own life. jon donnison has the latest. an act of terror. this is the moment andrew leak threw one of up to three makeshift firebombs in a drive—by attack on a migrant processing centre in dover last sunday. today police said leak was motivated by terrorist ideology. in a statement, tim jacques, the senior national coordinator for

counterterrorism policing, said... the suspect, andrew leak, is thought to have taken his own life shortly after the attack which police say was likely motivated by extreme right beliefs. it led to around 700 migrants being transferred from the dover processing centre to this one at manston which was already overcrowded. the home secretary flew into manston on thursday but suella braverman is facing a possible legal challenge over detention conditions there. the day after last weekend's firebomb attack in dover she told mps that britain was facing an invasion of illegal migrants. we have to be really,

really careful about the words that we use and the rhetoric when we talk about anything to do with migration. it's really dangerous and i think that type of language is an absolute trigger for the acts we have seen down in dover. the government says the real problem is the number of migrants continuing to cross the channel, and that fixing an asylum system she describes as "broken" is a first order priority. jon donnison, bbc news. let's get more on this from the policing and crime commentator, danny shaw. danny give us some background to the story. i danny give us some background to the sto . ~ ., , danny give us some background to the sto . ~ . , , u, story. i think what is significant about this _ story. i think what is significant about this statement _ story. i think what is significant about this statement today - story. i think what is significant about this statement today is l story. i think what is significant l about this statement today is the length of time that it has taken for counterterrorism policing to declare this as a terrorist incident. that

declaration was made almost one week after the attack took place. usually, with previous attacks, we have found that it has been declared a terrorism incident within 2a hours or so. and it is certainly a bit puzzling why it wasn't declared earlier. there was no mention of counterterrorism involvement at all in the investigation on sunday, or indeed on monday, when the home secretary, suella braverman, made a statement to mps in the house of commons. she said at the time, kent police are not currently treating this as a terrorist incident. a day later, we were told that counterterrorism police were involved and it was, it seems, driven by hate. that was what was announced on the tuesday, counterterrorism police were taking the lead on that day. but it has taken a long time for it to be declared a counterterrorism... a terrorism incident, which is slightly puzzling and i think has raised a few questions as to whether

there were some other explanation for the delay. you there were some other explanation for the delay-— for the delay. you 'ust spoke about hate there. _ for the delay. you 'ust spoke about hate there. tell _ for the delay. you just spoke about hate there. tell us _ for the delay. you just spoke about hate there. tell us a _ for the delay. you just spoke about hate there. tell us a little - for the delay. you just spoke about hate there. tell us a little bit - hate there. tell us a little bit more about the ideology this person was motivated by.— was motivated by. counterterrorism olice are was motivated by. counterterrorism police are saying — was motivated by. counterterrorism police are saying he _ was motivated by. counterterrorism police are saying he was _ was motivated by. counterterrorism police are saying he was motivatedl police are saying he was motivated by right—wing motivation, an extremist ideology, and certainly we know from facebook pages that were apparently linked to andrew leak that he had expressed some anti—muslim ideas and sentiments there. this was all obviously complicated by the fact that his mental health seem to be an issue. that is an issue in many terrorism incidents and i think that is a complicating factor, whether this was something that was driven by someone who had very serious mental health problems and that is the primary cause, or whether there was an extremist ideology behind it. clearly, today, counterterrorism police have come out with their definitive statement on that, but

the two cannot be separated, in a way. they are both, if you like, combining together. we have seen that in previous instances as well. i should say that this was the third official terror attack in great britain in 2022. the last attack, the last terror attack was on the liverpool women's hospital almost one year ago. you liverpool women's hospital almost one year ago-— liverpool women's hospital almost one year ago. you have alluded to it in some way. _ one year ago. you have alluded to it in some way. but — one year ago. you have alluded to it in some way, but from _ one year ago. you have alluded to it in some way, but from what - one year ago. you have alluded to it in some way, but from what we - one year ago. you have alluded to it in some way, but from what we are | in some way, but from what we are hearing, is it clear whether this individual acted alone or as part of a group? individual acted alone or as part of a a-rou? individual acted alone or as part of a arou - ? , ., individual acted alone or as part of a urou - ? , . ., ., a group? the statement that we have had from counterterrorism _ a group? the statement that we have had from counterterrorism policing i had from counterterrorism policing is that there was no indication that he was acting alongside anyone else. he was operating alone, and there doesn't appear to be any wider threat. certainly, those with the statements that were put out by the police quite early on after the attack. to clearly reassure people. it is a very disturbing and worrying attack and there were clearly efforts going on in early to calm

people and reassure people that there was no wider threat. that appears to be borne out by the investigations that police have carried out. it cannot be underestimated, these are complex investigations and there is a lot of evidence to go through, people to talk to, police have said they have spoken to a number of significant witnesses and have examined digital media devices and so on, belonging to andrew leak. that is clearly all part of the investigation. there is complexity but it still remains a puzzle why it has taken so long which many people suspected this incident was a terrorist incident to be declared as such.— be declared as such. clearly a lot of questions _ be declared as such. clearly a lot of questions still _ be declared as such. clearly a lot of questions still to _ be declared as such. clearly a lot of questions still to be _ be declared as such. clearly a lot| of questions still to be answered. thank you for speaking to us. a group of detainees at a west london immigration centre caused a "disturbance" during a power cut on friday night. police and extra staff from the prison service arrived at harmondsworth detention centre near heathrow airport this morning. the home office said nobody had been injured and that the welfare of the people

there was the top priority. to bring you some breaking news. we have just had a statement from the home office on that incident in harmondsworth, the minister for immigration saying that there was a disruption overnight at harmondsworth immigration removal centre after an unprecedented, sustained loss of power. thankfully, he said, no staff working all individuals detained were hurt despite clear evidence of unacceptable levels of violence and disorder. he continues to say the priority now is to move people to other centres while engineers fix the power fault and other centres while engineers fix the powerfault and repair any damage there. he says the public should be reassured, the defenders and others awaiting removalfrom

should be reassured, the defenders and others awaiting removal from the uk are being held securely. the perpetrators of this disturbance will be held to account where appropriate, and removed from the country as swiftly as is practical. earlier i spoke to to william neal, who's a detention outreach caseworker at the jesuit refugee service visiting and supporting asylum seekers at harmondsworth. so essentially what we have are large institutions holding quite a large number of men. so at harmondsworth over 600 men in what is most easily described as prisonlike conditions. that is the kind of image that these centres are. and the mood in those centres, what is that like?

it can vary very greatly. i know from following the protest last night, of the mood probably today is one where there is lots of fear, lots of anxiety, but in my experience, an overwhelming feeling of stress. you are holding individuals who don't really have a sense of control over their own future. they are very much at the hands of the government, of the home office, and they have no real way of taking any of that control back. it is a great deal of stress. when there are 600 people who are under those stressful conditions, that gathers. there are times where things do rise up and that stress increases. especially when there are greater pressures on the system, i think that there definitely is likely a knock—on effect. rail passengers have been facing severe disruption 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. here's our business

correspondent, marc ashdown. no strike, no picket line, but no trains either. today's walk—out was called off with such little notice that rail operators say it was too late to run trains they'd already cancelled. it's left passengers feeling frustrated and confused. we were hoping the strike wasn't going to affect the trains when we heard it was called off, and now we are hoping for the best. we wanted to go to barnsley but nowt doing, no trains at all. fans attending the wales rugby union match against new zealand faced travel disruption. i expect it will be a slowjourney home. i don't think it will be pretty. we knew the trains stopped at five o'clock so we made the decision to drive in and book a hotel. a reduced strike timetable means just 20% or so of services are running across england, scotland and wales. those which did started much later this morning and will finish by the early evening.

thousands of members of the rmt union at ia rail companies and network rail have been involved in this long—running dispute about pay, jobs, and terms and conditions. the rmt says its previous strikes have helped the rail companies to "see sense" and it says it is now looking forward to intensive negotiations where it says it is finally expecting to be made a pay offer to put to its membership. but make no mistake, this is a big shift for the union. it's the first time it's called off a shift to negotiate in six months of industrial action. there is a whole range of issues. it's cost them a lot of money in striking until now, and they will never get it back, even with a big pay rise. christmas is coming, energy costs, family pressures, all those things will come into play. maybe there is also a bit of a desire to find a way out of this and an off ramp. network rail has made a pay offer of 8% over two years. it welcomed new talks, as did the rail operators, saying progress is being made. the new rail minister huw merriman said he wants to work

positively and constructively with all the unions and he is ruling nothing out in the search for a solution. the mood music might be changing but for passengers the cancellation of further strikes on monday and wednesday is too late to avoid further disruption. marc ashdown, bbc news. 0ur correspondent, luxmy gopal, has been at leeds station this afternoon. strike action was called off, but network rail say it was too late for full timetable to be reinstated in that time. and so here in leeds, like many other places, there are many cancellations and today there were no services at all running from here in leeds to london, manchester, nottingham, hull and other more local stations as well. there are some, as you can probably see behind me, there are still some trains around and there are some passengers heading to board their trains because there are trains coming and going, but services are severely limited and the last trains for various destinations are departing within the next couple of hours.

and by about 6:30pm this evening, there will be little movement here because for many of them, the last trains in and out of the station will be by 6:30pm at the latest. now, the passengers i spoke to here today, some of them weren't aware of the impact on their services today and had turned up expecting to board a train and they couldn't. the passengers i spoke to who were aware of the strike action that had been scheduled for today, many of them were sympathetic with the cause. and, of course, as we know, this is part of the long running dispute overjobs and pay and conditions at the rmt. now, the rmt said that what it was doing was entering a period of intensive negotiations with network, rail and train operators. and this is actually the first time in their long running dispute that strike action has been called off. the advice from, well, many of the operators, as you can see, most of the trains here, northern trains, northern rail say passengers should not travel at all unless absolutely necessary. and that is the wider advice as well

from network rail who are advising you not to travel unless necessary and if you do have to travel to check before you do so. the impact of the disruption will continue on monday when there was due to be strike action and wednesday there was also due to be strike action. but network rail are hopeful that they can get a timetable running in time for services to be able to operate on wednesday. and we can get more now from nigel harris, the managing director of rail magazine, who we saw in that report. thanks forjoining us. the rmt calling off their strike, something has clearly changed. it calling off their strike, something has clearly changed.— has clearly changed. it certainly has. it has clearly changed. it certainly has- it took _ has clearly changed. it certainly has. it took us _ has clearly changed. it certainly has. it took us all— has clearly changed. it certainly has. it took us all by _ has clearly changed. it certainly has. it took us all by surprise i has clearly changed. it certainly i has. it took us all by surprise last night, it came out of the clear blue sky. the strike started today and monday and wednesday were being called off. with no really clear reason why. there is a whole range of issues we need to discuss that

will be shaping the thinking behind the scenes but no we don't have a clear reason. network rail have not changed their offer sincejune, i changed their offer since june, i don't changed their offer sincejune, i don't think, so there's not as if there has been a material change. there are a number of different unions involved in all of the strikes, it is quite complicated. can you talk me through where we are with the different unions and the different strike action? the three rime different strike action? the three prime unions _ different strike action? the three prime unions are _ different strike action? the three prime unions are the _ different strike action? the three prime unions are the rmt - different strike action? the three prime unions are the rmt and i different strike action? the three l prime unions are the rmt and that different strike action? the three i prime unions are the rmt and that is the biggest group of general railway workers, generally not drivers, they have got their own union. but there are some drivers in the rmt and then there is the tssa or tessa which is there is the tssa or tessa which is the one which tends to be for the white collar union and then there is some unite members as well. i think

during this last week, wednesday and thursday, tessa and unite stopped their strike action leaving the rmt as a bit of an outlier store with a strike in place. something changed. by strike in place. something changed. by friday, at lipm, all three unions had suspended the strike action for this weekend. you had suspended the strike action for this weekend.— had suspended the strike action for this weekend. you must be speaking to train drivers, _ this weekend. you must be speaking to train drivers, staff, _ this weekend. you must be speaking to train drivers, staff, people - this weekend. you must be speaking to train drivers, staff, people who i to train drivers, staff, people who work for the operators. what are they saying? what is the mood like? especially in the run—up to christmas. especially in the run-up to christmas.— especially in the run-up to christmas. ~ . ._ ., christmas. well, railway men and women are _ christmas. well, railway men and women are dedicated _ christmas. well, railway men and women are dedicated people i christmas. well, railway men and | women are dedicated people who, christmas. well, railway men and i women are dedicated people who, it's not what they do, it's what they are. the last thing they want to do is strike. because of the terrible service that is being offered to passengers it is a low. you're right about christmas. some of the things that will be shaping thinking in union executives and amongst the members is we have a christmas coming up which is going to be

expensive with the cost of living and the energy thing, any loss of income to families is going to be really painful. strikers, rmt members, have already lost quite a lot of money this year doing strikes, and they are not going to get that back however big the pay increase is. on top of that, the anniversary of the dispute comes up at the beginning of next year which means, if they can solve it by christmas, there is something like one year back pay to claim, which means that injanuary, the pay offer will be about 8% which is significant. you can see how that might be shaping some thinking. this isjust my thinking might be shaping some thinking. this is just my thinking out loud, might be shaping some thinking. this isjust my thinking out loud, if might be shaping some thinking. this is just my thinking out loud, if the rmt executive is looking for an off by having their members to qualify strike it means the strike can stop without the executive losing any

face. it is complicated. there are all these things going on that will be shaping thinking. let's hope that mines are steered in that direction and we can find a resolution to this, which includes some genuine compromise. i’m this, which includes some genuine compromise-— compromise. i'm sure a lot of passengers — compromise. i'm sure a lot of passengers will _ compromise. i'm sure a lot of passengers will be _ compromise. i'm sure a lot of passengers will be thinking i compromise. i'm sure a lot of i passengers will be thinking exactly the same. thank you forjoining us on bbc news. the same. thank you for “oining us on sac newt candlelight vigils have taken place in south korea to remember the victims of last week's deadly crush that killed 156 people. the disaster in the capital, seoul, a week ago during halloween celebrations has caused growing public anger. mourners, many holding placards and white candles, gathered in the city to demand justice. 0ur correspondent nick marsh has the story. this city is still in shock. after one of the most terrible weeks in recent memory, adults came together to mourn the young. but the air is also

thick with blame. "our children have been sacrificed," this woman says. "i need to mourn. "the korean government has not done a good job. "we want them to truly say sorry and we want "the president to resign." last weekend, 156, mostly young people, went out, and didn't come back. it was supposed to be a fun halloween night out, the first without covid restrictions, but the authorities had made no plans for crowd control. this lone officer stumbled across the crush by chance. you can see him caught amongst the vast tide of bodies, desperately trying to divert them to safety. when i spoke to him a few days later, he was consumed by guilt. translation: i wasn't able to do my duty as a korean police officer. i if somehow there is a way to meet

the bereaved families i would like to express our apologies to them. please pray for them. emotions are running high in south korea. yesterday, a victim's mother tore down the floral wreath that had been laid by the president. today's gatherings may have been called vigils but really they were protests. over this past week the grief and shock has turned to anger and a demand for answers as to what could possibly have happened to allow such a tragedy on saturday night. the people who are gathered here are mainly supporters of the main political opposition but throughout south korea there is the perception that a young generation has been let down by the authorities yet again. the last time south korea saw a loss

of life this atrocious was in 2014 when more than 300, mainly schoolchildren, died in a ferry disaster. that eventually brought down the then—president after a series of weekly protests. the people here say they will be back next saturday. nick marsh, bbc news, seoul. a russian—backed judge in occupied ukraine who sentenced two british men to death has been shot and badly injured. it appears to have been an assassination attempt. the britons, who were captured while fighting in the ukrainian army, were later released by russia. 0ur europe regional editor paul moss gave me the details.

he had presided, yes, over the supreme court there. and as you said, particularly notorious here in britain because of sentencing to death, shaun pinner and aiden aslin, as well as a moroccan who was fighting alongside them, brahim saadun, they weren't in the end sentenced. they weren't the head shot or hanged. but when he passed the sentence, he said their crimes merited it. they were terrorists, they were mercenaries. he was working, he said, on unshakeable principles ofjustice. so very clearly at the heart of the russian backed administration in eastern ukraine. and this isn't the first time that someone working for the russian backed administration has been attacked. not at all. i mean, there have been about 20 attacks on officials, on elected representatives, a policeman and now a judge. and they have been attacked in a variety of ways. some have been shot. some would have been blown up. one was got by a car bomb and one was poisoned by his own chef. now, we don't know how many of these were successful assassination attempts simply because some of these people sort of faded from view afterwards. but we know that some have died. for example, the deputy mayor of kherson was shot dead. and so there is some death toll in these operations continue. they seem to have picked up in the last few months in particular.

and when it comes to the judge, do we know who's responsible at all? we don't know who's responsible for this or indeed for any of the attacks. i should say some people have suggested that this could be nothing to do with the invasion, that some of these are about gangsters, local business rivalries. but most people assume we're talking about ukrainians operating behind enemy lines, attacking the russian invaders, but also seeking to attack anyone who works with them. the russian backed authorities there have blamed ukrainian government and they've said they're terrorists. ukraine's government, kyiv, has not taken responsibility for any of these attacks. i should say there's a good reason why they wouldn't any attack like this would actually constitute a war crime. under the geneva convention. you're not allowed to send assassins to kill civilians, even if they're working with an occupying army. at the same time, the government in kyiv is not sort of shedding crocodile tears about the people who've been attacked, and it's called the people who did it, not terrorists, but partisans, it says, is investigating about 1500 ukrainians who have worked with the russian backed authorities

who could be charged with treason if and when ukraine is fully retaken by the ukrainian authorities. very interesting. do you think this will make any difference? well, the ukrainian government certainly thinks so. they may not be claiming responsibility for the attacks, but what they say is that it makes it much harder for russia to occupy ukraine if people who would work with their regime know that they're at risk of doing so, maybe harder to recruit them. the fact is also this just doesn't look good for moscow. russia claims to have annexed four regions of ukraine. the ukrainian troops have retaken a lot of that. and what this shows that even in those areas where russian troops are still occupying it, they don't really have control because people appear to be able to operate with impunity, assassinating their officials. i mean, it would be sort of crass to call this a pr victory, but i think we can say it's another sign that russia's invasion of ukrainejust isn't

going according to plan. let's get more on the issues around migrant arrivals — at least three local authorities are taking legal action to stop the home office placing newly arrived migrants in local hotels. the bbc has been told that a four—star hotel near stansted airport in essex, where more than a0 people seeking asylum have been placed, will be fully booked until march. kate bradbrook reports. i'v e i've been speaking to people here today mainly from north africa who say they have been placed in this tudor manor whilst seeking asylum. we believe there are about a0 people in total living here, some have been here for several weeks. the ones i have been speaking to say they don't yet have proper shoes or access to medical treatments.— yet have proper shoes or access to medical treatments. when you go to hos - ital medical treatments. when you go to hospital and — medical treatments. when you go to hospital and you _ medical treatments. when you go to hospital and you stay _ medical treatments. when you go to hospital and you stay in _ medical treatments. when you go to hospital and you stay in a _ medical treatments. when you go to hospital and you stay in a hotel- medical treatments. when you go to hospital and you stay in a hotel you | hospital and you stay in a hotel you will not sleep at night because it is cold. d0

migration crisis. they are working hard to find permanent migration as soon as possible and urge local authorities to do what they can to house people. twitter�*s new owner elon musk has defended his decision to sack about half the firm's workforce without warning. mr musk said the social media platform was losing large sums of money every day. he's insisted twitter�*s commitment to content moderation remains unchanged, despite the loss of key staff and anxiety among advertisers. in an interview, elon musk revealed that twitter was losing around $a million a day, meaning costs had to be cut. he promised twitter wouldn't degenerate into what he called a "free—for—all hellscape' when content moderation is loosened. but advertisers including general motors have withdrawn their business, which is likely to lead to a drop in revenues. and now twitter faces lawsuits from the hundreds of employees over

the way they were fired. now it's time for a look at the weather with stav today wet, the rain is confined to the south—east corner of england and then we will see clear spells and showers following on from many places into tomorrow. there is low pressure out into the atlantic, the first weather front bringing in the showers. lots of showers ready to rattle in and be quite heavy in places, wind picking up as well, dry weather in between, but for the south east the rain starts to pick up here. could be heavy with some rumbles of thunder. mild in the south could be colder further north. thunder. mild in the south could be colderfurther north. low thunder. mild in the south could be colder further north. low pressure firmly in control for sunday, could be a windy day across all areas although bright with sunshine and showers for much of the country. some of these heavy, may be
