as he address the cop27 summit. the climate crisis is about human security, economic security, environmental security and the very life of the planet. hello and welcome to bbc news. it's been hailed as an historic day by ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky. russia has withdrawn its troops from the city of kherson — the only regional capital that they'd managed to take since they invaded ukraine in february. thousands of russian troops have retreated across the dnipro river, leaving the way open for ukrainian special forces to enter the centre of kherson. residents waved the national flag and embraced troops in the main square, chanting "glory to

ukraine!" our international editor jeremy bowen is in odessa following the situation as more ukranian troops can now approach kherson. i think they will be moving up steadily. they are in the hinterland of the city already, but they are being cautious. they are saying first of all there could be booby traps and there could be mines. more seriously, now the russians have crossed the river into their new fortifications, they are still only a couple of miles away, well within artillery range and there have been concerns raised by the spokespeople for the southern command of the ukrainian armed forces, saying they are preparing for a big bombardment into the city from the russian—controlled side. of course, they will not want to expose too many of their troops, or indeed the civilians to that.

kherson�*s residents emerged from their homes as the first ukrainian soldiers reached the main square. for them it is the end of more than eight months under occupation. plenty to celebrate, but they are not of danger. russia's guns are only a few miles away across the river. as they left, russian engineers blew a section of the bridge over the dnipro. at dawn, long lines of russian troops seem to be using a temporary crossing under the main, damaged structure. the russian claim is that 30,000 soldiers and more than 5000 pieces of equipment left kherson before the bridges were blown. ukrainians believe this is a major turning point in the war, that their forces have taken a big step towards victory.

historic for the ukrainians because they believe, as i said there, have taken a giant step towards an eventual victory. president zelensky�*s people have said they will not rest until they get russians out of all of the country, including the crimean peninsula, which russia seized in 2014. from their perspective, that is why it is important. for the russians they are arguing they executed a successful fighting retreat, bringing out theirforces and their gear to fight another day. so very different attitudes to what happened, certainly. 0ur chief international correspondent lyse doucet it is in the capital kyiv, and she spoke to me earlier.— it is in the capital kyiv, and she spoke to me earlier. what has been described in — spoke to me earlier. what has been described in social _ spoke to me earlier. what has been described in social media, - spoke to me earlier. what has been described in social media, special. described in social media, special forces of the ukrainian army have

reached the central city. whether ukrainian flags, reached the central city. whether ukrainianflags, hugging ukrainian soldiers. the same square when russian soldiers moved in, there were protests against the russian occupation, scenes of russian forces forcibly pushing back the protesters, pushing them off the streets. it is a very different scene today, even if there is concern there are russian forces still in the city, not in the uniforms but wearing plain clothes. it is still on the site of russian forces, so there is still some caution but there is a lot of celebration as we found when we went a short distance away to the centre of the city, kyiv. this is the mood here in the centre of kyiv tonight. a night of celebration of what president zelensky describes as an historic day. look at the banners they are holding here, "kherson is ukraine" written in the colours of the ukrainian flag.

they have been singing here for hours, singing popular songs like this, singing the ukrainian national anthem. this is the most significant victory for ukrainian forces in some time and certainly one of the most significant reversals for the russians. president zelensky says ukrainian forces are nowjoining its special units in the centre of kherson. we have spoken to people tonight who believe that moments like this are bringing the end of the war closer, bringing them closer to the victory they have always believed was possible. but this war is far from over. this is a city which is suffering from power cuts because of russian strikes on the energy infrastructure. it also suffers from russian attacks. and the concern is that with this humiliation yet again for president putin's forces, it is just a matter of time before he strikes again.

but that is not on the mind of these celebrations tonight. he was very quick to say, this is notjust getting back territory, as he put it in his statement, this is getting back hope. this just confirms the view that we have heard from every single ukrainian we have spoken to in the last eight, nine months since russian forces invaded that victory would one day be theirs. i have yet to meet a ukrainian who says we are not going to win this war. of course, it comes at a time when president zelensky has been getting messages from european, from american leaders who say,

it is getting really hard. yes, we want to continue to support you with arms, with aid but our own populations are suffering, perhaps it's time to think about negotiating or at least to show that you want to negotiate. but this willjust confirm president zelensky�*s view and the view of many ukrainians, it isjust a matter of time before victory is theirs. but there is still a long way to go and president zelensky, even in the midst of his effusive remarks, underlined there is still an unstable situation around kherson. and bear in mind it is the capital city of a province of which the majority is still occupied by russian forces. so there is a long way to go and the road will be hard and dangerous. he had a flavour of what president's galinsky said earlier today, so let's listen to his description of the events of the day. translation: today is a historic da , we translation: today is a historic day. we are _ translation: today is a historic day, we are taking _ translation: today is a historic day, we are taking back- translation: today is a historic day, we are taking back the - translation: today is a historic|

day, we are taking back the south translation: today is a historic. day, we are taking back the south of the country, we are taking back kherson. 0ur defenders on the outskirts of the city and soon they will start entering, but special units are already in the city. kherson residents have been waiting, they have never given up on ukraine. hope for ukraine is always justified and ukraine always returns its own. donald jensen is the director for russia and strategic stability at the us institute of peace and a former diplomat at the us embassy in moscow. thank you forjoining us on bbc news. the residents of kherson are hoping the latest developments will bring the end of this conflict closer. are they being realistic? i think they are being realistic closer. are they being realistic? i think they are being realistic that the end of the conflict is closer, but we have a long way to go. but city is still under artillery fire danger. there are still russian

troops on both sides of the river. i would disagree with the moscow line that all the equipment has got out safely, i don't think it has. but this is a major, major victory. 0nly this is a major, major victory. only a month ago, president putin said it was russian and now he cannot hold what he says is russian. this is a major victory, what he says is russian. this is a majorvictory, it what he says is russian. this is a major victory, it is well known city for its agricultural crop produce, use our cossack volunteers on streets celebrating it is a major victory for president zelensky and the military as they have performed is always very skilfully. but it is the rollback of russian troops from east to west here in kherson and the russians have to redo their strategy. it is not going very well. these troops in kherson were very good russian series raqqa soldiers but ukrainians hit their supply lines, hit the storage areas of ammunition. to go back across the river. coming back, as the russian

say they will, it will be difficult. the river is wide, the city will be well defended and at least, for the foreseeable future, kherson will be ukrainian. it foreseeable future, kherson will be ukrainian. , ., foreseeable future, kherson will be ukrainian. ., ukrainian. it is odd you say that, because everyone _ ukrainian. it is odd you say that, because everyone is _ ukrainian. it is odd you say that, because everyone is saying - ukrainian. it is odd you say that, l because everyone is saying russia ukrainian. it is odd you say that, - because everyone is saying russia is now in a better position by retreating? i now in a better position by retreating?— now in a better position by retreating? i don't think it is true. russia _ retreating? i don't think it is true. russia is _ retreating? i don't think it is true. russia is retreating - retreating? i don't think it is true. russia is retreating to | retreating? i don't think it is - true. russia is retreating to lines across the river closer to crimea, which are well prepared and dug in and entrenched. but on the other hand, that part of the country is very open. the ukrainian system can hit them and what we are going to see now is once the russians settle into their defensive positions, we will see ukrainians again patiently hitting their supplies, patiently hitting their supplies, patiently hitting their supplies, patiently hitting their ammunition depots and behind kherson, let's face it, down the road is crimea. that is the ultimate prize and that is the ultimate prize and that is the

ultimate target.— ultimate prize and that is the ultimate target. strategically we have heard _ ultimate target. strategically we have heard world _ ultimate target. strategically we have heard world leaders - ultimate target. strategically we have heard world leaders to - have heard world leaders to president zelensky to talk peace with president putin, is this a good time for those talks, he would come out on top? my time for those talks, he would come out on tap?— out on top? my personal view, it is not the right _ out on top? my personal view, it is not the right time. _ out on top? my personal view, it is not the right time. ukraine - out on top? my personal view, it is not the right time. ukraine is - out on top? my personal view, it is not the right time. ukraine is on i not the right time. ukraine is on the offensive. present it in�*s only choice is to pressure the west with energy and electric cuts to pressure the very strong and impressive consensus behind ukraine and it is in the nato allies, united states and britain and there is very little sign the europeans will break ranks on this. we may have ukrainian fatigue down the road in a year or two, but i don't see it now. even the fringe political views, certainly the united states, they are very much a minority. i think president putin will try to shake confidence in the west, take that political calculus away to undermine

ukraine. but on the battlefield, russia is in retreat and they can only consolidate and try and hold what they have, but even that shaky. we have the 620 what they have, but even that shaky. we have the g20 coming up soon. but now, thank you. the uk economy shrank over the summer, sparking fears of a recession. it fell by 0.2% between july and september — as households and businesses were hit by soaring prices, higher energy bills and rising interest rates. 0ur economics editor, faisal islam has more. in walsall, tp electrical make the cables that connect the electrics within cars and trains, so they are sensitive both to consumer spending going down and government spending under pressure, as well as the rising cost of materials, such as copper. in terms of the inflationary pressures, this business, labour intensive and wage rises. the material content here as a business is significant. we recognise we have to pedal faster to stand still. as a team, that is exactly what we are doing.

there are certain elements within our control, so some of the input cost, the efficiencies. we work hard at it. even before significant government cuts expected next week, rises in tax too, recession looms over the uk. this fall of 0.2% means that the uk was the only economy to fall of the major g7 economies over the summer. even as many were hit by the same global energy shock. questions will only grow if this is the start of a long period of decline but more concerning is if you take it back all the way to just before the pandemic, the uk economy of is smaller than what it was at the end of 2019. at the start of this government as brexit was occurring. this is unique across the g7. the other economies are bigger, having faced similar global challenges from the pandemic and from russian energy. which raises reasonable questions about whether post—brexit trade and worker policies have made

the economy less efficient, less resilient to these common shocks. the government still argues everyone is being hit the same. are you alarmed by the fact that the uk of the g7 is the only uk economy shrinking at the moment? according to the international monetary fund, around a third of the world's economy is in recession this year or will be in recession next year. that is principally, but not entirely because of high global energy prices. l we can't carry on like this with i great lower than our competitors, with no plan to boost the economy i and get those good qualityjobs i throughout the country. the conservatives need to do two things, stabilise the economy- and have a plan for growth. and yet not only do they need to grow the economy, they promised the regions across the whole of the uk would grow even more with big projects such as new train lines. by the end of this decade

you will see a three kilometre long viaduct going into a brand—new station connecting birmingham with london and its infrastructure is key to the government's plans to level up the country. but it is also infrastructure that in the past has been the first cut when public spending comes under the microscope. so how will they square this with notjust levelling up, but with promises to focus on growth for the whole economy? back at the factory, if they want certainty and big government investment, there are some signs of light at the end of the tunnel in the global economy, that inflation has peaked and supplies from china will not be interrupted by new covid waves. but it may yet be a lengthyjourney through that tunnel. faisal islam, bbc news. stay with us on news, still to come: turned away by italy and docking in france, the boat that has caused dispute between paris and rome.

approving a good climate policy is good economic policy. it is a strong foundation for durable, resilient and inclusive economic growth. it is driving progress in the private sector, driving progress around the world. and the sum total of the actions my administration is taking puts the united states on track to achieve our paris agreement goal of reducing emissions 50, to 52% below 2030. giorgia meloni, the new italian prime minister, has criticised france in a row over the handling of a migrant rescue ship. the vessel had been refused entry into italy. the ocean viking ship was carrying 230 migrants, including 57 children. france allowed the ship to dock in toulon and warned that there would be severe consequences for relations with italy. mark lowen reports.

arriving into safe harbour, but sailing into a diplomatic crisis between france and italy. the ocean viking, which rescued migrants coming from libya, but italy refused to take in. france agreed to welcome the ship instead. the migrants on board had been blocked for days. italy finally allowed three other vassals to duck, declaring france would take this one. but it seems paris had not agreed, seeing italy's announcement forcing a deal and behaviour are called reprehensible. translation:— behaviour are called reprehensible. translation: , , , translation: many people were very sick. ital translation: many people were very sick- italy has _ translation: many people were very sick. italy has been _ translation: many people were very sick. italy has been very _ translation: many people were very sick. italy has been very inhumane - sick. italy has been very inhumane in handling the situation. the italian authorities are not professional. they left this boat there for 20 days without making any decisions. italy's new prime minister hit back. the country has long argued it unfairly bears the migration burden but there is also domestic politics with the far right leader wanting to please her base. translation: i

races is where you really get the points. you don't do a pit stop, so you just put on the tyre which will last the distance. but for this car the racing is probably a little bit better but overall you don't see a lot of overtaking unless there is a car out of position. so, yeah, it is not that really fun for me. the reigning champions australia are playing new zealand in the first of the rugby league world cup semi—finals. australia were trailing by four points at half—time. they have regained the lead. the video referee is looking at a chance for new zealand and there has been given as a no try in the corner. about eight minutes left to play in the north of england in that. australia leading. it is very tight. and the winner of that match will face either england or samoa in the final on the 19th november.

week has brought a month's worth of rain in some location. that rain has been easing and moving a little further southward through today and during this evening and tonight, we will have this band of quite patchy rain across the far north—west of england, far south of scotland infringing back into northern ireland. the rain drifting northwards again through the night. to the north of it, cooler air and chillier than last night in northern scotland and generally speaking, less mild than it was. they could be some fog patches on saturday morning, morning fog will be a part of the weekend forecast but some sunny spells and we stick with a relatively mild feel. high pressure dominating across continental europe. this frontal system affecting the north—west of the uk but easing northwards as the day wears on. rain pulling away from northern ireland, southern scotland are becoming confined to northern scotland through the day. we should see more in the way of sunshine across many areas than we have had of late. temperatures peaking in the
