a facebook post about police brutality. pubs and brewers are calling for the freeze in beer duty to be reinstated ahead of the chancellor's autumn statement this thursday. they say costs are continuing to rise and beer sales are slowing. the british beer and pub association say more needs to be done to support the industry and avoid further pub closures ahead of a difficult winter. without that support, we will lose the pubs, the beating heart of our high street if we do not find a way to support them and we want to keep seeing that and making the pint and affordable visit for all particularly this christmas time. we want desperately the support from the chancellor. to help steer through what could be a difficult winter. the broadcaster baroness floella benjamin has been named as one of six new members of the order of merit.

buckingham palace says the appointments were decided by the late queen elizabeth in early september, shortly before her death. when i did meet the queen, we got on really well together. we had a great conversation about life, about children, about the future and she was an extraordinary woman so i feel blessed and honoured that she thought about me this way and wanted to give me the order of merit so i can thank her. she's up there in the heavens with my mum and dad and they are probably having a good conversation together. she is amazing, all those awards casually in the background. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. mild for this time of year? incredibly mild. the warmest armistice day on record yesterday.

19.5 degrees in lancashire. not bad at all and the mild weather is going to state without, it is because of this very fast—moving jet stream. it is dragging up some milder out from the south—west and it will stay with us through the weekend. there is a change coming as we move into next week but certainly we will keep that mild theme and not as windy as yesterday. possible early mist and fog yesterday. for scotland, under clearing skies we have a clearing sky with patchy rain but that is starting to retreat to the north—west. certainly a better day in comparison to of late. as the mist and fog breaks up we will see sunny spells. a little bit of patchy cloud perhaps across eastern england but mild generally across the border. 11— 18 degrees the overall height and we keep the mild theme as

we go through the night. again, we could see the formation once again of low cloud, and fog running in off the north sea so it could be a great start to remembrance sunday. a mild story again. ex— 30 degrees out to the west. as we go through remembrance sunday, early morning, mist and fog around. that should hopefully retreat. 0ne mist and fog around. that should hopefully retreat. one or two spots across the east coast was not generally speaking fine, dry, sunshine coming through. 0ut generally speaking fine, dry, sunshine coming through. out to the west, the first signs that change is coming. rain possible to the end of the afternoon. 11— 18 degrees the overall high through remembrance sunday so again if the mild theme set to continue but as we move into next week, things don't more unsettled and potentially a little cooler as we see areas of low pressure and front moving in

bringing wetter and windier weather and say this scenario looks somewhat like this. temperatures easing down from 18 degrees down to around 12 or 13 degrees. this is pretty much where the temperature should be for these time of year. plenty of sharp showers expected through the week ahead. back to you. it feels like a bit more normality don't you think? 18 it feels like a bit more normality don't you think?— don't you think? 18 degrees in november _ don't you think? 18 degrees in november is _ don't you think? 18 degrees in november is strange - don't you think? 18 degrees in november is strange but - don't you think? 18 degrees in | november is strange but great don't you think? 18 degrees in - november is strange but great news to those in into the cenotaph standing outside tomorrow morning. absolutely, useful advice. thank you, louise. let's take a look at some of this morning's front pages. the times reports that residents in care homes are set to be given the legal right to have visitors, amid reports that hundreds of homes are still "imposing stringent conditions" relating to covid. the guardian leads with an exclusive story in which it claims that senior civil servants were offered "respite or a route out" from working

with the justice secretary dominic raab. we've already mentioned this this morning. the paper claims the deputy prime minister left some staff "traumatised by his behaviour" in his previous stint leading the ministry ofjustice. a source close to mr raab tells the paper he is "always professional" with staff. the daily telegraph reports comments by the metropolitan police commissioner, sir mark rowley, who has told the paper that he believes public sector strikes will distract officers from fighting crime. it comes amid warnings that police are being forced to spend an "unsustainable" amount of time monitoring vulnerable people in hospitals. and the mirror leads with the news that the former health secretary matt hancock has been given a "jungle grilling" by his i'm a celebrity... campmates. the paper reports that the itv newsreader charlene white refused to accept mr hancock's apology for breaking his own lockdown rules.

loveit love it or hate it, we will talk about that later. there is some really interesting news and political information included in some of those chats they've been having in the jungles we will talk about that with our correspondence later. —— correspondents. this time tomorrow, rugby league legend kevin sinfield will set off on his mammoth marathon challenge, running seven ultra marathons in seven days. it's the third and final part of his epic mission to raise awareness and funds for those impacted by motor neurone disease inspired by his former team—mate rob burrow. graham satchell has been to speak to some of those who could benefit from his fundraising. when kevin sinfield sets off tomorrow, he will be completing a trilogy of epic challenges. he already run seven days. and 101

come easy for us, it's going to be one hell of a challenge at eden park sold out in front of a home ground for the black ferns. we will have to be on our way going to get the trophy. while england look to claim rugby union world cup glory in new zealand, at home, the second of the rugby league world cup semifinals takes place later, with the men taking on samoa at the emirates stadium in london. adam wild reports. for england's men, this is new ground, get familiar territory. the first rugby league match of the emirates, a world cup semifinal. well, they have been there before. and amidst the gunners, england's secret weapon that is not so secret anymore. secret weapon that is not so secret an more. �* ., y secret weapon that is not so secret an more. �* ., , ., anymore. i've loved every minute of it, eve anymore. i've loved every minute of it. every week. _ anymore. i've loved every minute of it, every week, putting _ anymore. i've loved every minute of it, every week, putting the - anymore. i've loved every minute of it, every week, putting the shirt - anymore. i've loved every minute of it, every week, putting the shirt on | it, every week, putting the shirt on with all of these boys, it's been really special sort of loved every minute of it and hopefully we can do a good job tomorrow and get to the final. ii a good 'ob tomorrow and get to the final. , , , ., , . ., final. if the biggest stages create the bi est final. if the biggest stages create the biggest styles, _ final. if the biggest stages create the biggest styles, there - final. if the biggest stages create the biggest styles, there are - final. if the biggest stages create the biggest styles, there are few| final. if the biggest stages create i the biggest styles, there are few in the biggest styles, there are few in the rugby league world right now as big as dom young. he plays his club rugby in australia so what makes his

week or two ago i was lambasting the world cup because massive pressure on the championship clubs of the fixture schedule and everything and it was unfair on players but now, you know, from what i label some people in fifa now they are absolute genius is, you know, it's brilliant, so i am so so happy that someone has put a world cup in qatar in november so as i said giving me an opportunity to work with them. just eiuht da s opportunity to work with them. just eight days away now with most squad is finalised, including one of the all—time greats. lionel messi is now confirmed in the argentina squad for his fifth world cup finals, along with five premier league players. as if they were going to leave him out! argentina are currently a run of 35 matches unbeaten and will go into the tournament as one of the big favourites. if not the favourites. messi, though, has never won the world cup, and this looks like his last chance. they're looking to the skies ahead of another world cup final taking place tomorrow, when england are due to play pakistan in the final of the t20 cricket

world cup in melbourne. however, while it may have been dry for england in training, heavy rain is forecast for tomorrow and on the reserve day on monday. so, organisers have now changed the rules to allow for two more hours play into the evenings on monday. each side must have at least 10 overs or, in the worst—case scenario, the trophy would have to be shared. the big weekend for british sport continues as great britain's women play later in the semifinals of the billiejean king cup against australia. it will be the first time they have competed at this stage of a world competition that used to be the fed cup since 1981, having earned their place with a remarkable victory over spain in their final group match on thursday. britain have been runners—up in the competition four times but have never won it. and britain's will bayley has become a world champion in para table tennis again. eight years after his first triumph, the world number one beat jean—paul montanus of the netherlands in straight sets to win a second world title, this time in spain, and will be looking to add to his paralympic medal tally in paris in two years' time.

i got to know well when i was on strictly with him and got to be great mates and the injury in rehearsals was extremely... it would his tokyo 0lympics place in jeopardy, the paralympics, that he made it and got a silver medal but he feels his comeback is complete with the world title once again and it's brilliant to see. people would be confused to forgiven but i have never seen a sports bulletin with so many world cup mansions. especially for an england fan, potentially six world cup still involved in, if you include obviously rugby union. so include obviously rugby union. sr you've got the one that is about to start, the women's against new zealand, then three in rugby league, england still involved in the men's women's and wheelchair, then you have the men's prior of the final in the t20 cricket, weather permitting,

—— the final of the t20 cricket, weather permitting. then the little matter of the football world cup. i don't think many people are giving us too many chances of winning that. and wells was a very involved in that and they will have the link to say about their chances. in the same group as well, they meet each other on in the same group as well, they meet the 29th i think. 0ur our next story is great if you like and underdone. it is a lovely story. pumas is what it is about. they are normally found roaming around the mountains of south america but nigel is no ordinary puma. edi mountains of south america but nigel is no ordinary puma.— is no ordinary puma. of course, he called nigel- _ is no ordinary puma. of course, he called nigel. he _ is no ordinary puma. of course, he called nigel. he found _ is no ordinary puma. of course, he called nigel. he found a _ is no ordinary puma. of course, he called nigel. he found a new- is no ordinary puma. of course, he j called nigel. he found a new home adapting to life with three legs after undergoing an amputation. meet nigel the puma, a visitors favourite here at lincolnshire wildlife park and back on his feetjust six weeks

then the decision taken in 2010 which keeps coming back. this week, former fifa chief sepp blatter said the world cup in qatar is a mistake. decisions and consequences, we will look at them both. it is decisions and consequences, we will look at them both.— look at them both. it is election ni . ht look at them both. it is election night across america. _ 50 states, millions of votes. inflation is terrible, the gas prices up, everything is falling apart. my right to bodily- autonomy is on the line. cbs rates the house as leaning republican. the senate is too close to call. we never expected we were going ito turn these red counties blue. i so what happened ?

definitely not a republican wave, that is for sure. a good day, i think of democracy. are you watching the fake news any more? tell them, we are not watching you any more, we don't care what you say. in simple terms this is where we are, republicans are on track to win back the lower house of congress, the house of representatives, the upper house, the senate, well, that is still in play and overall democrats did well in the state governor races and it looks like turnout was high. in short, this did not meet the expectations of republicans and what is at stake is what president biden can and cannot get done in the next two years and where america is heading with a presidential election on the way and that explains partly

both sides combined were forecast to spend $9.7 billion that is more than double the last midterms. the most expensive contest was pennsylvania's senate race with over $373 million spent, according to one estimate. that is roughly $68 per voter. if that is the cost, next, let's pick out some that are important. if that is the cost, next, let's pick out some of the results that are particularly important. starting in florida. the republican ron desantis won the election as governor. we have embraced freedom, we have maintained law and order, we have protected the rights of parents, we have respected our taxpayers and we have rejected woke ideology. this mattered for a couple of reasons, ron desantis won by a landslide which if he wants to take on donald trump for the presidential nomination, could give him momentum. second, throughout his campaign he talked about the economy, as did many republicans,

exit polling suggests this was a decent calculation, high inflation was decent calculation, high inflation was the number one issue for voters, but crucially, it was not the only issue. let's turn to pennsylvania because they're in a race for the senate, the democratjohn fetterman was the victor. i'm proud of what we ran on, protecting a woman's right to choose. cheering ..raising the minimum wage. fighting the union way of life. cheering ..health care as a fundamental human right. we heard john fetterman talking about abortion rights there and since injune when the supreme court removed the constitutional right to abortion, democrats have campaigned on the issue. polling suggest it was the second biggest concern for voters.

above crime, above gun policy, and immigration. 0ne political scientist said abortion rights actually helped the democrats stave off a red wave. democrats also campaigned on american democracy because the midterms were in a way a test of donald trump's false claim about the 2020 election being stolen, and the bbc has analysed the performance of candidates for the senate, house and governorships who publicly denied that result. 124 of them won their seats, and 40 lost. a lot of those victories were in safe republican seats in the more closely contested states the democrats did well against them. like in pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin, voters rejected election denying candidates for governor. and those republican losses matter because many of them were endorsed by donald trump and so these results have the potential to dent his standing. watching all of this from fox news,

one journalist said on twitter... this is the front page of the once donald trump friendly new york post, owned by rupert murdoch. also the wall street journal, also owned by rupert murdoch, it concluded donald trump is the republican party's biggest loser. they may not be saying so but we can be confident both donald trump and ron desantis will be noting all of this. because midterms always connect back to who is president and who might want to be. the new york times to bureay chief in london came in to see us. 0k. you can say thank you, mr trump.

normally the midterms is about how the current president is doing but also these have become about how the last president is doing. that has to do with the unique circumstances we find ourselves in where the former president is this constant local participant in the political life of the country and still very much has a vice—like grip over the republican party. i think if they win i should get all the credit and if they lose one of the reasons is the next man we are going to see. the woke agenda has cost millions of americans to leave these jurisdictions for greener pastures. he is sort of like donald trump without the crazy.

it is a very populist message. the first time he was elected governor was by narrow margin but this time he has swept one of the biggest victories he emerges from the midterms is a much stronger figure. and if he chooses to, a really formidable rival to donald trump, no doubt. we have the worst collapse in real wages in 40 years. it was a sad night at fox news and by several benchmarks it should have been a much worse night for the democrats. that is a searing indictment of the republican party. inflation is a major concern, gas prices, food prices, and president biden has a 42% approval rating and you would not expect on the face of that for any president at 42% to have the second—best mid—term election outcome in the 25, 30 years, and yet, there are other reasons that change the outcome. and they are?

most notably, i would argue, the roe v wade decision in the supreme court last summer which had the effect of mobilising and galvanising democratic voters especially women. this is a place where fundamental rights are protected and women can make their own decisions about their bodies. turnout is a crucial part of any democratic victory and they did turn out people. how do you assess where this leavesjoe biden? had he really had his clock cleaned and had he lost badly and been relaxed, which is barack 0bama's frame that phrase, they would be a debate about whether it was time for him to stand aside and not run for re—election but now instead we have an emboldened president.

it actually presents the democrats a quandary because if you think that an 80—year—old joe biden is too old to run for election, you are now in a more difficult position of preventing from happening. i'm pretty sure you would have seen cop27 in the news. it is the latest global gathering to try and thrash out what we are going to do about climate change, and last year it was in glasgow, this time in egypt. but this is a conversation that has been going on now for years. it is mankind and his activities which are changing the environment of our planet, in damaging and dangerous ways. the earth summit has opened in rio.

the spirit of rio must embody. the full awareness of the fragility of our planet. it is all decided. there are still hard challenges ahead. relief at the end of this session. there is quite a gap between the aims of this conference and its outcomes. it would take more and in 2015, a new goal was set — 1.5. speaks french. cheering and applause.

we'd never seen a global climate deal like paris before. almost every country in the world are signed up to a common goal — to limit the global average temperature rise to well below 2 degrees above pre—industrial levels. ideally, though, the limit would be 1.5 degrees. 1.5 — we'd hear it again and again. this is what the world needed to do, we were told. but seven years on from paris, has 1.5 gone? is it actually possible any more? last month, the un environment programme said there's: it says with current policies we're on track for 2.8 degrees of warming by the end of the century. if all carbon—cutting pages are implemented, well then, it would be between 2.4 and 2.6 — that's the un's projection. here's another. the blue line shows where current

policies will get us. the yellow shows pledges and targets too. the red is what is needed for 1.5. it's not close. that said, progress has been made. when the paris deal was done in 2015, global warming was projected at 3.5 degrees. as we've seen, warming was projected at 3.5 degrees. —— as we've seen, that's come down significantly and the us climate envoyjohn kerry thinks 1.5 remains possible. it's absolutely accurate to say that currently, on the currant track, no, we will not make it. but that's not to say that if countries are stepped up and did more, we couldn't make it. getting countries to step up, though, is, of course, what's proving difficult. butjohn kerry has a broader point — that this isn't1.5 or bust. that every tenth of a degree matters. and that was backed up by a major un report on the difference between global warming of 1.5 and of 2 degrees. it says 99% of coral reefs,

for example, would be wiped out at 2 degrees of warming. 0r there's global sea levels — they'd rise by about ten centimetres more at 2 degrees. and keeping to 1.5 means that 10 million fewer people would be exposed to the risks of flooding. and to be clear, this isn't just about the future — right now, the world is over 1.1 degrees warmer than pre—industrial levels, and that's already impacting our weather with more heatwaves, more droughts, more floods. and at this week's climate conference in egypt, the un secretary general, put it this way. the 1.5—degree goal is on life support and the machines are rattling. we are getting dangerously close to the point of no return. these are difficult messages to hear, but that's not to say there's no good news about climate action. to understand this better, we got in touch with a climate scientist.

thank you for coming to see us. that's ok. ok, so, the picture around 1.5 to say the very least is very difficult but are there things that we can concentrate on, things we can highlight where we can at least say, "look, some serious progress is being made?" it's difficult. so, there are glimmers of optimism within what's otherwise quite a bleak picture. tell me about the glimmers. so, the glimmers of optimism are in terms of renewable technologies globally. if you look at — the only graphs in the climate world that you see that going on the right direction as opposed to the wrong direction is the global adoption of photovolataics — solar energy — the global adoption of wind energy, the global adoption of electric vehicles. and similarly, the only graphs going down in the right direction of the price of all those things.

which countries do you look at and think, "my goodness, "they really are making progress now on renewables?" actually, the uk is not doing badly. the uk — if you look at uk emissions over the last 30 years, they've pretty much halved at the same time that the economy has grown. it's basically because we don't use coal to generate our electricity any longer. i sit there in the university and if i look at the technologies that are being developed — so, battery technologies, if it's looking at green industrial processes — green steel, for example, is really developing now — these are all happening. and that is our path to solving all this, it's doable, we shouldn't give up on 1.5 because a plan could be put together to get there if only there was the global commitment. thank you for coming to see us. that's ok. now, i want to talk about the football. on thursday, gareth southgate announced the england squad that he'll be taking to qatar.

the men's football world cup is a week or so away and normally at this stage, we would be entirely focused on the squads, the tactics, the soap opera of it all. not so much this time. on monday, the former head of fifa, sepp blatter, said holding the world cup in qatar is a mistake. the world cup, with 32 teams, is a big, big organisation which needs also a big country. qatar is too small to do that. also on tuesday, a qatari world cup ambassador described homosexuality as "damage in the mind". qatar says everyone is welcome at the world cup at the furore has been growing this week and one question keeps coming up — how did a country of 3 million people with summer temperatures above 45 degrees, where homosexuality is illegal, get the tournament? qatar has never qualified for a world cup, let alone hosted one, but that would change in 2010.

the winner to organise the 2022 fifa world cup is qatar! that decision was taken by fifa's executive committee and in 2014, one of those who voted, michel platini, told the bbc why he chose qatar. and i decide that it's time we go in one part of the world who never received the world cup. and for that, that is my conviction. that was one reason fifa chose qatar, but there may have been others. ahead of the vote, two of the committee were excluded after a sunday times investigation alleged they offered to sell their votes — something they denied. the remaining members chose qatar over the us, which had been the favourite. then in 2011, the sunday times reported that two other members of the committee had been paid $1.5 million each to vote for qatar.

they denied it. days later, an e—mail leaked and in it, fifa's then general secretary refers to qatar's official on the voting committee. he said: he would say afterwards that didn't refer to bribes. but by 2012, a fifa inquiry was under way. we will focus on the winners, right? but how did that process go and did anyone in that process violate the rules? now, that inquiry would conclude that the votes hadn't been bought. but it did find potentially problematic conduct of specific individuals as part of qatar's bid. and by this point, it emerged the fbi had been investigating fifa for years. in response to a us request in 2015, swiss police carried out these dawn raids in zurich, where fifa is based. the fbi declared undisclosed

and illegal payments, kickbacks and bribes became a way of doing business at fifa. though that wasn't a specific reference to qatar getting the world cup. we do though know 11 of the 22 committee members who took this decision have, for various reasons, been fined, suspended, banned or indicted since then. two of them were convicted, but not in connection to qatar. and 12 years on from the vote, qatar denies doing anything illegal or unethical. but this week, sepp blatter had more to say about this. that's a reference to countries, not individuals. he hinted, without evidence, that a sale of french fighterjets to qatar may have been eased by negotiations over the world cup bid. that link has not been established, nor is it uncommon for the awarding of large sporting events to have a political dimension. but this is the man who ran fifa at the time, implying that the decision may have been connected

to selling military hardware. and we should also remember, as the bbc�*s sport editor puts it, that his time in charge of fifa became defined by corruption. defined by corruption. and so, while fifa and qatar continue to deny doing anything wrong, the players are preparing to travel to the tournament and questions remain about why it is being held in qatar. another decision that has been playing out through the week is elon musk�*s purchase of twitter and all of the changes that he is planning. to be honest, sometimes, it's been hard to keep up but we've done our best. elon musk put a car in space. cheering. he brought rockets back down to earth. he gets remarkable things done. and when, in 2017, elon musk tweeted "i love twitter", someone replied, "you

should buy it then." two weeks ago, he did and then, well... elon musk�*s second week of twitter ownership is proving just as helter—skelter as the first. two weeks back, elon musk posted this video of him arriving at twitter hq. let that sink in, he told us. two days later, he announced comedy is now legal on twitter. which may be some people's way of describing what happened since. mr musk�*s first move was on twitter�*s blue ticks. these verify who someone is and denote some level of importance. elon musk didn't like it, calling it a "lords and peasants system". instead, he said, anyone would be able to buy a tick. "power to the people," he tweeted. "blue for $8 a month." and this people power is, of course, also a new revenue stream. musk added:

to the charge of $8, david froome of the atlantic urged him to stop, he said: and he added that the idea for charging for insults and arguments came from monty python. the advice though has gone unheeded and in the middle of last week, things moved up a gear. he posted about and unsubstantiated conspiracy theory about the hammer there was also more than a tiny possibility that this would amplify the misinformation. and though the tweet was deleted, that's exactly what happened. trending on twitter is the lie. about this guy. because elon musk pushed it. by this point, the musk twitter experience was not to everyone's taste. for advertisers, this is all about risk. they are working with someone who is inherently unpredictable, in a high—stakes, high—profile situation, so they are pulling out.

elon musk blamed activist groups for the fall in ad revenue, insisting nothing has changed with content moderation. something had changed, though. musk was in charge and he was tweeting and acting at speed. thousands ofjobs were cut to save money. and then, across the weekend, people started changing their profiles to elon musk, to highlight the risk of impersonation if anyone can get a blue tick. us comedian cathy griffin did this. on monday, her account was suspended. and for a moment, talk of comedy being legal was paused as elon musk explained, going forward, any twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying parody will be permanently suspended. and while the self—proclaimed free speech cheerleader was talking about the rules, cathy griffin appeared again by her late mother's account saying, i'm back from the grave. and monday wasn't done there. elon musk wanted to talk politics,

too, on the eve of the midterms posted, shared power curve is the worst excesses of both parties. watching all of this was dan primark of axios. it's not so much the case of right now it's the chaos was seems to be largely making this up as he goes along. elon musk talked about the work he's doing on bots and spam and he said twitter will do lots of dumb things in the coming months. that process may already be up and running, but this is elon musk. he uses disruption to great effect. and so, while he may do some dumb things in the coming months, that doesn't mean in the long run, he can't make it work. that's it for this addition. thanks for watching. goodbye.

and its outcomes.

good morning welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and tina daheley. 0ur headlines today: cheering celebrations into the night after ukrainian soldiers re—enter the city of kherson following a russian withdrawal. no lack of drama at the rugby world cup final as england's women take on new zealand in auckland five

it's saturday 12th november. our top story: residents of kherson have been celebrating the arrival of ukrainian troops after their forces recaptured the strategic southern city. in what's being described as a major turning point, russian troops have retreated to the eastern bank of the dnipro river, destroying a major bridge as they left. david lumb reports. cheering. celebrations marking an important and symbolic win in this bloody wall. kherson now back in ukraine hands after eight months of russian occupation. president zelensky called it an historic day, "we are taking our country back," he said, but vladimir putin's spokesman denied the retreat was humiliating, with officials describing the withdrawal as merely a redeployment. kherson is strategically vital.

the withdrawal allows the russians to use the dnipro river as a defensive barrier to protect earlier gains. as they left, russian engineers blew a part of the antonovski bridge. lines of troops can be seen using a temporary crossing, before that was cut, too. speaking at a south east asian summit in cambodia, this morning the ukraine foreign minister said the fight would continue. we won the battle for kherson. kherson in the south, it was quite an exercise, i must say, but the war goes on and i understand that everyone wants this war to end as soon as possible, and we're definitely the ones who want it more than anybody else. the retreat did look better organized than some of russia's others in ukraine. not much left behind. a few dozen shells, mostly rubbish.

cheering. for now, a time to celebrate but with russian guns only a few miles away, the people here are not out of danger. david lumb, bbc news. catherine byaruhanga is in kyiv for us this morning. a for us this morning. very significant moment. catherine, there have been celebrations in the capital too haven't there? yes, just to my left is the independent square and there we had people celebrating, singing the song that one the european song contest, the ukrainian song, and celebrations carried on into the night. they had to be eliminated by the moon and some flashing light because much of the electricity in that city is

still cut off because of the fighting. it will take some time before ukraine will cement its hold over kherson. we understand there are still russian soldiers and units in the city and they have to be cleared out and event services can come in, social services, engineers to help rebuild the city. there is also the prospect of looking at the wider conflict that now that russia has removed 30,000 troops from kherson city, they will take them to the other regions fighting in ukraine, especially in the east, and we have heard from ukrainian armed forces that fighting continues, russia carried out airstrikes and fired missiles. this is a significant moment of victory but this is a conflict that is still going to continue. 50 this is a conflict that is still going to continue. so much work still ahead- _ going to continue. so much work still ahead. katherine _ going to continue. so much work| still ahead. katherine byaruhanga still ahead. katherine byaru hanga come still ahead. katherine byaruhanga come for now thank you. matt hancock has told his campmates that he is on itv�*s i'm a celebrity get me out of here to ask for forgiveness for breaking

funeral and sit on their own or not able to visit them in hospital, his explanation did not really cut it and there were questions also about theissues and there were questions also about the issues around personal protective equipment and testing, what happened with care homes during the pandemic and matt hancock said he had robust answers and defences for what happened around all of that but it all felt perhaps like a little bit of a rerun of what is to come in a far different and viable formal setting in the public enquiry which we will look at questions about the coronavirus pandemic. find about the coronavirus pandemic. and in the meantime more bush tucker trials. england's bid to become rugby world cup champions has got underway in the last half—hour, as the red roses take on title holders new zealand in the final. jane's at a rugby club in manchester for us this morning. following every twist and turn and

if the biggest stages create the biggest stars, there are few in the rugby league world right now as big as dom young. he plays his club rugby in australia, so what makes his rise so extraordinary is that before this world cup, many england fans knew very little about him. had the world cup been on schedule and played last year, dom may well have been playing forjamaica, alongside his brother alex. my family have been really proud and i've — i really enjoyed going to watch his games as well. and now, it's nice that, you know, he can come and watch mine, so, yeah, they're all really proud, they always let us know that and, you know, hopefully, can make them that bit prouder by winning the whole thing. so, if dom young and his brother have been making plenty of headlines for the past month, there's another set of brothers who've been doing it for more than a decade. commentator: burgess! burgess! the burgess brothers are, by any sporting standard, a phenomenon. four brothers, all amongst the best of their generation. but now, just one remains, tom, and a final chance at world cup glory.

i had a nice letter from my mum this week — she sent a handwritten letter over from australia — and she's, you know, said how proud she is of me and obviously, representing my family, and we talk about being the last brother playing, but i think i'm just — we're always representing ourfamily and we've always been really proud of each other as brothers and, you know, always wanted to just do our best. performs haka. this afternoon, they take up the challenge of samoa, again. england thrashed them on the opening day. that was unexpected and you can't expect a repeat. this is not england's stage and their band of brothers are plotting something special. adam wild, bbc news. to listen, coverage starts at 1:45pm. it's the final round of premier league games before the world cup and before christmas, and new southampton manager nathan jones is now all in favour,

of the internationl break. the world cup is just eight days away, with most squads finalised now, including one of the all time greats — lionel messi — who has been confirmed to be playing in his fifth world cup finals as part of an argentina squad that includes five premier league players. argentina are currently a run of 35 matches unbeaten and will go into the tournament as one of the big favourites. messi though has never won the world cup. this could be his last chance, as if he doesn't need any more incentive. there's another world cup final this weekend, as on sunday, england play pakistan in the final of the t20 cricket world cup in melbourne. however, there's a big injury concern ahead of it, with pace bowler mark wood in a race for to be fit. the talk is all about the weather because of heavy rain is forecast for sunday and monday so they are changing the rules, allowing for two more hours of play on monday to try and allow each side to have ten overs aside each. if they can do that, they can do a result. if not,

there is talk of having to be shed, there is talk of having to be shed, the trophy having to be shared. that is a big news regarding the cricket. hopefully they can get a result rather than the weather being victorious. the big weekend for british sport continues as great britain's women play in their billie jean king cup semi—final against australia later. it will be the first time they have competed at this stage since 1981, having earned their place with a remarkable 3—0 win over spain in theirfinal group match on thursday. britain have been runners—up in the competition four times but have never won it. and britain's will bayley has become a world champion in para table tennis again. eight years after his first triumph, the world number one beatjean paul montanus of the netherlands in straight sets to win a second world title — this time in spain, and will be looking to add to his paralympic medal tally in paris in two years' time.

but there is this atmosphere, you know, once it has lifted it would be a promising day. for many, we will start to see the low cloud start to break up with some sunshine coming through and if you're lucky enough to have it, you are likely to keep it through the day. a little bit of fair weather cloud lingering and where we have had some really heavy persistent rain recently in the far north—west of scotland, that will retreat back to the western and northern isles here. i was a bit more clout perhaps in north—west scotland and northern ireland but on the whole, it's a quiet story and another mild afternoon to come. 12— 15 degrees the high into scotland and northern ireland, may be as high as 17 or 18 across england and wales. that will lead into another mild night to come tonight. more mist and fog likely. some of it perhaps more dense in places across eastern england first thing tomorrow morning. certainly worth bearing in mind if you are heading off to remembrance sunday, it may take time

to clear, but temperatures coolest to clear, but temperatures coolest to the east with overnight minimums only around 12 or to the west. it could be a rather great start, mist and fog first thing in the morning, and fog first thing in the morning, and some of it will linger to the east, the pennines potentially, through the day but elsewhere, we keep some sunshine coming through. again, the winds will be light and again it will be very mild indeed but is perfect in some respects for remembrance sunday services, looking around 12—18. cloud without breaks are framed by the end of the afternoon into northern ireland and an indication of what is to come into next week. back to more unsettled weather. wet and windy. and it will get that bit fresher as well so this is the reason why the jet stream moves a little closer to us and more direct to us and so, it will push these weather fronts across the country, bringing some heavy rain and some windy conditions with it as well. if you want a quick heads up, planning for next week, make sure you have an umbrella close

at hand. you may well need it. plenty of showers around. these are the temperatures we should have for this time of year. cooler but not too bad. :, :, this time of year. cooler but not too bad. :, ., :, , too bad. you are right, it does feel more appropriate _ too bad. you are right, it does feel more appropriate for _ too bad. you are right, it does feel. more appropriate for mid-november, more appropriate for mid—november, 12 or 13. thank you, louise. time now for this week's newswatch. hello and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. how a bbc panorama investigation found out the full horror of the attack in the ukrainian city of mariupol. and, did the midterm elections in the united states warrant the amount of coverage they received here in the uk? first, in a year of climate—related disasters and broken temperature records, the relevance of the cop27 summit in sharm el—sheikh were self—evident. and, as it started on sunday, bbc one's early evening news made clear how high the stakes are.

dire warnings for the future of the planet as the cop27 climate conference begins in egypt. delegates hear the last eight years have been the hottest on record, accelerating the effects of climate change. we must answer the planet's distress signal with action — ambitious, credible climate action. the united nations' secretary general antonio guterres, who we saw there, warned the following day that the planet was on "a highway to climate hell". but language like that, and the way that it was reported, worried liz middleton: there were other concerns, too, around the summit. john lambert was one of those left wondering about the environmental impact of the bbc�*s coverage.

the bbc�*s climate editor justin rowlatt has, in the past, defended on this programme the need he sees to travel and take flights in the course of reporting on the environment. but he was also the subject of another complaint this week, regarding his appearance on air. this is the main conference hall where the leaders speak and as you walk around this truly vast convention centre, you get an idea of the range of issues under discussion. anthony webb wrote to us, saying:

it's not the first time justin rowlatt has caused some controversy by wearing jeans on television. he did so in the news at ten studio injuly and tweeted afterwards: well, it's clearfrom what we've heard this week that some viewers do consider the wearing of denim on screen to be "a disgraceful lapse in standards". but if you think it's "a refreshing, new casual "approach," do let us know. the other big international event of the week was the midterm elections in the united states, widely covered by different bbc outlets and throughout tuesday night and wednesday morning, and a special programme on the news channel. it's election night across america. 50 states, millions of votes and an outcome that will be felt here and around the world. the control of congress is up

for grabs with republicans looking to retake the house and the senate from the democrats. tyrone nilsen contacted us on wednesday morning to say: and someone tweeting as flat v, thought the priorities used by the bbc online were mistaken. but another viewer disagreed with those views, asking: russia announced on wednesday

that it was pulling out of kherson. but the previous night, a panorama special had focused on another ukrainian city, mariupol, which was bombarded from the start of the war in march till it fell to the russians in may. woman speaks ukrainian. explosion. the hour that followed was harrowing and powerful and applauded by viewers such as richard truscott, who called it: and fran perillo wondered:

well, let's talk to the panorama correspondent hilary andersson, who is responsible for that film. hilary, it was a very powerful piece of television. there was no reporter or narration on that film at all. how and why did you decide to structure things that way? well, this was a very carefully thought through and deliberate decision right from the beginning of the project, because the whole idea was to tell the story of mariupol and the war from the inside out, instead of from the outside in because, you know, every day, we watch coverage of tanks, of reporters talking, narrating with clips of individuals but sort of looking at the war from the outside. and what this film did was to go notjust to the people to allow them to tell their story, but to go right

inside their heads and to tell the story of the war in an experiential way. for that to be completely authentic, we felt — our team felt — that they needed to speak in their own languages and that it would be better not to have any narration and just, let's listen to the voices of the people who lived through the siege of mariupol. as we know, it's been pretty much impossible to get access to mariupol for months now. so, how did you find the people involved? and how did you find the footage to tell the story? well, the project began — i started working on it in march, when the siege was in full swing, and i started out trying to get a phone call through to people in mariupol — which was virtually, but not completely impossible at the time. i soon discovered, though, that people were not only getting out but you could zoom them. so, we then started to track down people who had fled

the city and listened to them, and listened to their stories. and then there was a question of footage — a huge problem, because a lot of people — almost everyone — had deleted everything they had shot on their phones. russians were checking people's phones as they came out, so it was a very real problem. people were scared and the word went round, "delete everything "if you're going to try to get out of mariupol". so, it was very, very difficult to get footage, but we did that by using software to retrieve deleted data from people's phones and also, not everyone deleted everything they thought they'd deleted, so there was footage and we were able to use that. this is very much a ukrainian citizen's point of view, the whole film. can i ask how you squared that with the important notion of bbc impartiality? well, due impartiality, as you know, is a concept that applies across bbc coverage. this film is only one piece of our overall coverage. what we did was a very authentic piece ofjournalism

in circumstances where we couldn't — of eyewitness journalism, and circumstances where independentjournalists can't operate in mariupol — which as you know, is now under russian control, and there is a lot of fear — people are even afraid to speak to western journalists openly. but we were not trying to do was litigate. we weren't trying to do a film which said, "is this a war crime? "who did it? "who is responsible? " we didn't do any of that in this film. this documentary is about people's experiences and we set out to relay their experiences, and that's what we did. and, as we know, the result is quite distressing and powerful to watch. you yourself have worked in a number of war zones, including darfur in afghanistan over the years. can i ask how it has affected you, dealing with this trauma, in mariupol? well, if you spend six months talking to people who have lived through mariupol and who have lost family members under the rubble and been extracted from the rubble themselves

and who have nightmares about seeing young children who were — honestly, it's... this isn't about the journalists who cover it. it's distressing to hear their stories — yes, i have cried a lot over the last six months — but this isn't about me or ourteam. we are the conduit for people who went through this to tell their stories, and their stories are incredibly powerful because they wanted so badly to tell their stories because they wanted the world to know. and because the particular people we spoke to really opened up at a deep level about their whole lives and about what this war really means and what it really means to live through the decimation of your city. hilary andersson, thank you so much. finally, this week saw the death of the pioneering election analyst sir david butler. one of the many ideas he had for transforming the bbc�*s coverage of politics was a pendulum device, shown in action here on general election night in 1959.

and back in the studio here, david butler wishes to give a short session in swing up here. i think it was 3.5 hours ago that bob mackenzie said that labour needed that swing — 2% or more — to win the election. well, at the beginning of the night, it was all over the place. one or two to the other way made us think we must hesitate. but after 30 results, it's settled down and it has been staying steady now. the average swing over the whole country, 1.3% improvement of conservative position over labour. the swingometer has become a little bit more high—tech in the years since, as used by the likes of peter snow and jeremy vine, but the ground—breaking principle remains the same. among the tributes paid to sir david butler was this from the bbc�*s current election analyst, sirjohn curtis:

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, online and social media, e—mail us. or you can find us on twitter. you can call us. and do have a look at previous interviews on our website. that's 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 ben thompson and tina daheley. our headlines today... celebrations into the night after ukrainian soldiers re—enter the city of kherson following a russian withdrawal. it's down to the wire at the rugby world cup final as england's women take on new zealand in auckland. such a close final. the supporters the edge of their series. england are ahead but onlyjust. it will be just as tense in the rugby league world cup — when england's men play samoa later, for a place in the final, in which australia, are now wating, after they beat new zealand in a thrilling semi final that ended with the sides separated byjust two points. sir lenny henry has had plenty of awards for his performances on tv and the stage, he's also an impressive children's author, he'll be

here to tell us about it. good morning. a mild weather story, it will continue this weekend. we've got some early mist and fog across england and wales but that will lead to some sunny spells into the afternoon. rain in the far north of scotland, that will ease away and becoming confined to the far north—west. all the details coming up north—west. all the details coming up shortly. it's saturday, 12th november. our top story... ukrainians have welcomed ukrainian troops into the southern city of kherson after their forces recaptured the southern city of kherson. in a major turning point in the war, russian troops have retreated to the eastern bank of the dnipro river, destroying a major bridge as they left. cheering celebrations marking an important and symbolic win in this bloody war. kherson now back in ukraine hands after eight months of russian occupation.

president zelensky called it an historic day, "we are taking our country back," he said, but vladimir putin's spokesman denied the retreat was humiliating, with officials describing the withdrawal as merely a redeployment. kherson is strategically vital. the withdrawal allows the russians to use the dnipro river as a defensive barrier to protect earlier gains. as they left, russian engineers blew up part of the antonovski bridge. lines of troops can be seen using a temporary crossing, before that was cut, too. speaking at a south east asian summit in cambodia, this morning the ukraine foreign minister said the fight would continue. we won the battle for kherson. kherson in the south, it was quite an exercise, i must say, but the war goes

on and i understand that everyone wants this war to end as soon as possible, and we're definitely the ones who want it more than anybody else. the retreat did look better organized than some of russia's others in ukraine. not much left behind. a few dozen shells, mostly rubbish. cheering for now, a time to celebrate but with russian guns only a few miles away, the people here are not out of danger. david lumb, bbc news. earlier we spoke to our correspondent catherine byaruhanga in kyiv and she said there'd been celebrations across the capital. yes, just to my left not far from here is the maidan independence square and there

we had people celebrating. they were singing the ukrainian song that won the eurovision song contest. and in kherson, those celebrations also carried on into the night. but there those celebrations had to be illuminated by the moon and some flashing lights. and that's because much of the electricity in that city is still cut off because of the fighting. it's going to take some time for ukraine to cement its hold over kherson. we still understand that there are some russian soldiers, russian units in the city. they have to be cleared out and then services can come in things like doctors, social services, engineers to help rebuild the city. there's also the prospect looking at the wider conflict, now that russia has removed 30,000 troops from kherson city. they can then take them to the other regions that they're fighting in ukraine, especially in the east. and there we heard from the ukrainian armed forces that fighting continues. russia carried out 23 airstrikes

and fired four missiles. so this is a significant moment of victory, but this is a conflict that's still going to continue. matt hancock has told his campmates that he is on itv�*s i'm a celebrity get me out of here to ask for forgiveness for breaking social distancing guidelines when he was the health secretary. mr hancock resigned from the cabinet last year after he was caught on camera kissing an aide in his ministerial office. he spoke about the event on last night's episode. let's speak to our political correspondentjonathan blake. jonathan — what did he say? loveit love it or hate it, people are watching matter too. what is interesting is that those comments he made yesterday about his handling of the pandemic. it is often compelling feeling, isn't _ it is often compelling feeling, isn't it. — it is often compelling feeling, isn't it, watching the celebrities in the _ isn't it, watching the celebrities in the jungle base for different reasons— in the jungle base for different reasons for the former health secretary matt hancock in there,

lancashire and a 19 degrees in scotland. incredibly mild. it is windy yesterday. i suspect the mild weather will continue this weekend and if you are heading for remembrance sunday services, it'll be lighter winds but mist lanfont could play its part. at the moment, we have got quite an atmospheric shot as the mist is rising. you can see the blue sky coming out. there is a little bit of low cloud and misty weather around at the moment but that should improve as the morning continues. we have seen some heavy persistent rain across north—west scotland recently and even that is retreating up until the northern and western isles. some cloud in the north—west of scotland and northern ireland but on the whole not a bad day. lighter winds, a little bit more sun coming through and feeling pretty mild for this time of year with a temperatures way above where they should be. we are expecting highs between 11—18 c.

they should be around 10—12 at the very best. less mild theme set to continue. the temperatures not filing far it offers tonight, cloud in the west and that is where the mildest of the temperatures will be. in the east, clearer skies, a little bit of mist and fog forming once again so temperatures to greet us first thing at around 8—12. that low cloud, that mist and fog may well linger for those up early on sunday and heading for remembrance sunday services. hopefully, to will lead to a blanket of cloud and it will state my guilt. the best of the sunshine further west are not bad at all. clouding over gradually from the west and they will be some rain pushing into ireland. and the whole, we keep that mild theme with temperatures around 12—18. fancy something more seasonal in terms of the feel of the weather? you can

haveit the feel of the weather? you can have it next week but it comes at a price. we see the rain returning. weather front were pushing from the atlantic, the isobars squeezed together, the wind will strengthen once again so be prepared for a shy woody week ahead for many of us. showers and longer spells of rain and temperatures back to where they should be. certainly keep an umbrella close at hand. and may be an extra layer. big coat coming out! pace yourself, may be a thin coat! thank you, louise. this time tomorrow rugby league legend kevin sinfield will set off on his mammoth challenge running seven ultra marathons in seven days. it's the third and final part of his epic mission to raise awareness and funds for those impacted by motor neurone disease inspired by his former teammate rob burrow. graham satchell has been to speak to some

of those who could benefit from his fundraising. when kevin sinfield sets off tomorrow, he'll be completing a trilogy of epic challenges. he's already run seven marathons in seven days. and 101 miles in 24 hours. he's running again to raise money for people all over the country who are living with motor neurone disease. people like cath diagnosed almost nine years ago. mnd is a cruel disease. there's no effective treatment, no cure. over time, cath has lost her ability to walk and talk. she can't feed herself, struggles to breathe independently and is now entirely reliant on her husband, ian. mnd has a huge impact on the whole family, but especially

on who does absolutely everything for me. our life has changed from normal people working long hours to him looking after me full time, doing all the cooking, cleaning and even my makeup. both cath and ian have been amazed by kevin sinfield's challenges and grateful for the way he's helped to raise awareness of mnd. when cath was first diagnosed, there was only which had been around for 20 years, didn't really do a lot, where now there's a lot more trials going on which has given everybody more hope. ultimately, we all want the cure for mandy, but anything that can help and it's something we're all looking forward to. kevin, you are a champion. you are a true inspiration to the whole mnd community. what you are doing is truly amazing and we will be cheering you on the whole way. thank you from us all. kevin sinfield is running seven ultramarathons in seven days

from edinburgh to manchester. it is more than 300 miles. this is a sensational try. there aren't many in super league that could do that. _ he's been inspired by his best friend and former teammate, rob burrow, who was diagnosed with mnd in 2019. kev has always said he wants to help the postman, the builder, people whose lives are turned upside down when they're diagnosed. can you see the river down there? this is alex and his husband craig, in their favourite park in south london. alex realized something was wrong at the beginning of last year. muscle twitches and then a weakness in one arm. there was a time that i was doing the washing up and i couldn't lift a pan and and i sort of broke down at that point thinking, i can't ignore this anymore. this is quite bad. there was definitely something in the back of my mind saying, oh god, i hope this doesn't get worse. you can't, you can't really capture the reveal with photos, can you,

it's got to be the video. alex and craig were told the normal life expectancy for someone diagnosed with mnd is between three and five years, so it prompted them to bring forward something they'd been thinking about. they decided to get married. we just thought it'd be great to celebrate our love and, like, make our mark on history. alex and craig had financial support from a charity called challenging mnd to put the wedding on. the best thing, perhaps as well, is that mnd didn't take a role in that day. until the very end. until the very end, of course, when alex fell and bumped his head and we had to call an ambulance. but i feel like that's the story that happens at a wedding that is great. i mean, everyone was giving me shots, that may have had something to do with it. alex has been given this machine to help him eat. he will need much more support as time goes on and is hugely grateful to both kev

and rob for their help. it's amazing the stuff that he's doing. it's kind of superhuman to me. so i'm glad that they're raising awareness and raising loads of money because, like, i have had some support from the mnda and like grants are great, but we need a lot of help and we need a lot more. you think about the fact that that's someone who's willing to do that, put his body through so much, to support his friend, to support a community of people that he may never meet, you know. he will never really fully comprehend the amount of lives that he will touch. and i think, i think that's really powerful and really special. and the world needs more people like that. you get a sense of how much is involved in this, how epic a marathon journey this is. and on tomorrow's breakfast we'll be with kev as he sets off

from murrayfieldand runs via melrose, newcastle, middlesbrough, york, leeds, and bradford, before finishing at old trafford at the half—time of the rugby league world cup final. wish him well, raising awareness and funds for those affected by motor neurone disease. james arthur rose to fame in 2012 after his appearance on the x factor and has gone on to release four albums and tour the world. but throughout his career he's been really open about his struggles with mental health and now he's fronting a new bbc documentary called "out of our minds", let's take a look. i get really bad anxiety, social anxiety, which is a weird thing to think that i'm on stage a lot and people assume that i'm going to be full of confidence. but my persona when i'm on stage and stuff is completely different. it's gone as far as agoraphobia at times where i couldn't leave my

house and suffer from panic attacks, thinking i was going to die. i don't know if anyone's ever had that, where you have a physical reaction to what's going on. in your head and you haven't been there just when you think life's not going to get any worse than this. and then at that moment in your head, then you feel like you can't get enough oxygen in to like your body. yeah, it's hard to describe it. it takes a certain amount of bravery is to all sit around and be open and honest. i would say vulnerability is courage. for years, i always felt a certain level of shame about it. i always felt like, oh, everyone thinks i'm weird, or everyone thinks it's like something wrong with me or i'm crazy or mental. but then i sort of realised that it takes courage, it takes real bravery to do that, especially in a group of blokes essentially. and so yeah, it's just, it's very cool. and james joins us now. in sucha in such a deeply personal and brilliant film. you completely open up brilliant film. you completely open up about your struggles with mental

hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and tina daheley. breaking news in the world of sport and it is not good. unbelievable. the red roses lost. such small margins in the end. for one match they were a woman down when a player was sent off in the first half, but they came so close

to a match—winning score right at the end. my goodness, literally within half a metre. it is heartbreaking, but they have had a record—breaking winning run and it is over. their nemesis, the host new zealand, 34—31, they have beaten england in every world cup final they have played in, but what a dramatic match. england were in form and did raise into a lead early on, but a massive moment when lydia thompson was sent off for a reckless tackle. this was actually the winning score. england were a player down for much of the match, and just two points in it for much of the second half. when new zealand scored, they had been reduced to 14 players for a time when one of their players for a time when one of their players was shown a yellow card and did come back on. they had a penalty

right at the end, a chance to take the match into extra time. they went for a match—winning try instead and came so close to scoring. let's get some reaction to this bruising defeat. jane is at the very quiet manchester rugby club. i can sense the disbelief there as well. yes. manchester rugby club. i can sense the disbelief there as well.- the disbelief there as well. yes, it was tense throughout _ the disbelief there as well. yes, it was tense throughout the - the disbelief there as well. yes, it| was tense throughout the morning because it was just so close between england and new zealand, but as you said, just heartbreaking for england to come so close but to lose out in the end. the atmosphere here went from elation and being incredibly tense, tojust from elation and being incredibly tense, to just deflation from elation and being incredibly tense, tojust deflation in from elation and being incredibly tense, to just deflation in the end. i am joined by emily, charlie and georgia. emily, how can you put into words? it georgia. emily, how can you put into words? : , georgia. emily, how can you put into words? :, , georgia. emily, how can you put into words? . :, ., , words? it was so close. totally cutted. words? it was so close. totally gutted- lt _ words? it was so close. totally gutted. it really _ words? it was so close. totally gutted. it really came - words? it was so close. totally gutted. it really came down i words? it was so close. totally gutted. it really came down to| words? it was so close. totally i gutted. it really came down to the wire _ gutted. it really came down to the wire we — gutted. it really came down to the wire. we really kept up the pressure all the _ wire. we really kept up the pressure all the way— wire. we really kept up the pressure all the way through, in spite of being — all the way through, in spite of being down to 14 players after 20

so, i'm so, so happy that someone's put a world cup in qatar in november so, as i said, it gives me an opportunity to work with them. the football world cup is just eight days away, with most squads finalised now, including one of the all time greats — lionel messi, who is now confirmed, in the argentina squad, for his fifth world cup finals, along with five premier league players. argentina are currently on a run of 35 matches unbeaten, and will go into the tournament as one of the big favourites. messi though, has never won the world cup, and this looks like his last chance. so, 50, watch out for them. they're looking to the skies ahead of another world cup final taking place tomorrow, when england are due to play pakistan in the final of the t20 cricket world cup in melbourne. however, while it may have been dry for england in training, heavy rain is forcast, for tomorrow, and on the reserve day on monday. so organisers have now changed the rules, to allow for two more hours' play into the evening on monday. each side must have at least 10 overs, or in the worst case

scenario, the trophy would have to be shared. and britain's will bayley has become a world champion in para table tennis again. eight years after his first triumph, the world number one beatjean paul montanus of the netherlands in straight sets to win a second world title, this time in spain, and will be looking to add to his paralympic medal tally in paris in two years' time. his rehabilitation after injury that occurred on his time on strictly seems complete. he is back. the champion is back. amongst many reasons while we love you, we have got a story coming up about a three legged puma. filth. you, we have got a story coming up about a three legged puma. oh, yes! there are autumn _ about a three legged puma. oh, yes! there are autumn internationals - about a three legged puma. oh, yes! there are autumn internationals back home, and the pumas, argentina, play

is easing away, some cloud here and into northern ireland, but on the whole it is a promising afternoon. a little bit of fair weather cloud across parts of the east midlands and through the north sea coast, but on the whole, fine and settled and sunny with light winds and temperatures are going to reflect this. once again, we potentially could see temperatures above average for the time of year. they could high as 11—15 across scotland and northern ireland, and up to 17 or 18 through england and wales. mild by day, but also mild to the night tonight, particularto day, but also mild to the night tonight, particular to the west, where we keep a layer of cloud. maybe some mist and fog forming, and some of that could be a little dense in places, so that could be slow to lift. so, in places, so that could be slow to lift. 50, temperatures around eight or nine celsius, could be a gloomy start to sunday but hopefully the cloud will break in time for the remembrance sunday services, but it is worth bearing in mind. and whatever the weather, it will be

mild with light winds. 50, could be murky through much of eastern england and the best of the sun out of the west. gradually we will have cloud and rain pushing into northern ireland, but it will take its time in doing so, probably not arriving till the end of the day. highs of 16 celsius here, but the highest temperatures will be17 or 18 celsius. the mild theme is not going to last. if you want something a little more seasonal, we look into next week. on the whole we start to see these weather fronts pushing in off the atlantic and the isobars will squeeze together once again and the winds will strengthen, particularly as the heaviest rain moves through. even once that clears, it will stay quite showery. so, showers or longer spells of rain for many as we move through the week ahead, and temperatures back to where they should be. louise, thank you. pumas are normally found roaming around the mountains of north and south america, but nigel is no ordinary puma.

he can be found a little closer to home, at the lincolnshire wildlife park where he's adapting to life with three legs after undergoing an amputation as jake zuckerman reports. meet nigel the puma, a visitors' favourite here at lincolnshire wildlife park, near friskney, and back on his feetjust six weeks after having a leg amputated. nigel started to limp two years ago, after he developed arthritis. painkillers were not helping and in the end vets said either the leg must go or he'd have to be put to sleep. we went through meetings and long deliberation of what to do and ultimately we said, we will do it under one condition and that is if after a month that he has had it done, there isjust one indication of him still being in pain, we will still have to euthanise him. fans crowd funded nearly £5,000 to pay for his treatment,

an intense five hour operation. staff waited nervously for nigel to wake up. i slept with him for two nights and then he woke up, he started hobbling about and before we knew it, he's back to 100%, other than he's got 75% of his legs, but he is actually back to 100% and he's like he was five years ago. now he is the star of social media. his latest video has had more than a million views online, with fans both near and far. i think it's fab. he is doing really well. we came and saw him a few weeks ago and he had his leg off and it looked really raw and now it's looking really good. i love cats meself, ijust want to pet him real bad — they look so soft. despite his growl, nigel isjust a big pussycat at heart. you just develop this unbelievable relationship. when i am working anywhere within hearing distance, you can hear him shouting me

and i have to stop work and come to see him. and the guys, they get quite annoyed when we're building and i say, just have to leave this concrete i have to go and see nigel because i can hear him shouting. i've spent more time with nigel in the past six weeks than i have with my entire family. thanks to his fans, vets and keepers, nigel can now look forward to a long and pain free life. jake zuckerman, bbc news. thank you, nigel! with a career spanning four decades sir lenny henry is best known as a comedian and for his charity work as one of comic relief�*s founding figures. but he's also made a name from himself as a children's author, hoping to encourage children from diverse backgrounds like him into literature. sir lenny henryjoins us now. good morning. good morning. you are

president zelensky called it an historic day, "we are taking our country back," he said, but vladimir putin's spokesman denied the retreat was humiliating, with officials describing the withdrawal as merely a redeployment. kherson is strategically vital. the withdrawal allows the russians to use the dnipro river as a defensive barrier to protect earlier gains. as they left, russian engineers blew up part of the antonovski bridge. lines of troops can be seen using a temporary crossing, before that was cut, too. speaking at a south east asian summit in cambodia, this morning the ukraine foreign minister said the fight would continue. we won the battle for kherson. kherson in the south, it was quite an exercise, i must say, but the war goes

on and i understand that everyone wants this war to end as soon as possible, and we're definitely the ones who want it more than anybody else. the retreat did look better organized than some of russia's others in ukraine. not much left behind. a few dozen shells, mostly rubbish. cheering for now, a time to celebrate but with russian guns only a few miles away, the people here are not out of danger. david lumb, bbc news. catherine byaruhanga is in kyiv for us this morning. catherine, there have been celebrations in president zelensky described yesterday in ukraine's history. soldiers have been returning and there have been celebrations in the

she's up there in the heavens with my mum and dad and they are probably having a good conversation together. congratulations to her. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. where is that? isn't this gorgeous? this is suffolk. i wanted to illustrate you it isn't like november at all, blue skies, sunshine and mild as well. we have seen a little bit of low cloud around so it isn't glorious everywhere but that is lifting to some misty conditions and then eventually some sunshine. the rain in the far north—west is retreating back to the northern and western isles. we have since sunshine coming through and in terms of the feel of the weather, high is expected between 11 and i7 the weather, high is expected between 11 and 17 or 18. still a very mild for this time of year. as we continue through the evening and

overnight, with or have some low cloud and fog returning, particularly in eastern england and then more cloud in the west. that'll keep temperatures up in double digits where we have some clear skies. temperatures down to eight or nine but tomorrow will start with low cloud, mist and fog. it is and if you are heading off for a service, be prepared for that grey, murky start but hopefully it will left, perhaps across eastern england it will linger but elsewhere we keep that sunshine going. it'll be a mild afternoon for that is welcome news if you are standing outside for any length of time. temperatures between 12-18. on the length of time. temperatures between 12—18. on the whole, it isn't too bad. in the west, we will see some rain, it is the arrival of a change to come in the weather story, i suspect as we move through the week ahead. if you fancy something a little bit more seasonal in terms of

the feel of the weather, you are going to get that as we move from sunday into monday. the weather front were pushing from the west, turning wet and windy. isobars will be squeezed together in the winter will strengthen. when the rain eases through, we will see a cluster of showers developing across the far south—west. let's take a look at that in a little more detail. it's likely it'll be a case of showers or longer spells of rain for many as we go through the week ahead. the heaviest of the rain looks likely to be in the far north of scotland by the end of the week. these temperatures are actually where they should be for this time of year. we are likely to see highs between seven and i3. are likely to see highs between seven and 13. the remembrance service, cloudy and murky but improving and mild. you can heat the heating off for a bit longer. on bbc one in a moment it's saturday kitchen while we continue on the bbc news channel

until 9.30am. do stay with us if you can. remembrance sunday services will take place across the uk tomorrow to recognise the service and sacrifice of those who defended our freedoms. ahead of the 80th anniversary of the end of world war ii, the bbc is trying to gather as many first hand accounts from surviving veterans as possible to preserve them for future generations. john bennet wasjust 17 when he signed up for the navy, even though his mother tried to stop him by hiding his birth certificate. have a listen to his story. i am so lucky i'm still alive — like, that's the way i think about it. the heroes is the ones who gave their life. if you've got life, you've got everything.

my mum said i couldn't go. she wouldn't give me my birth certificate, thinking she had the last laugh on me but the funny thing was they never asked for the birth certificate when i went, so i was in the navy. explosions. we realised what war was about. explosions continue. i'm not saying you were frightened. it had you on your toes and hoped it wouldn't get no worse, put it that way. your life depends on each other. when we were in normandy, there was a couple of marines in a boat, fishing bodies out of the water. it didn't hit me at the time they were dead men who'd been washed back out, you know?

terriblejob, fishing bodies out of burning water. i did write a letter to my mum when we were at anzio, saying there was a good chance i wouldn't see her any more. i never did ask her did she get it. chuckles. my darling joyce. a thousand times better after heard from you. your loving sweetheart. my own darling future wife. all my love, all my life. that was joyce. she was the type of girl, yeah. i get emotional at poppy time.

but you must always remember somebody gave their life so you could be what you are today. and me. i'm lucky. because i got 70—odd years of freedom. i've enjoyed my freedom. i hope they remember, all the lads my age at the time who are laying in these cemeteries all over the bloody world. i sit back now and thank god for our crew, yeah. couldn't go to war again, i don't think. chuckles. i'd know all of the dodgers! chuckles.

john bennett. and there are so many incredible stories like that. the way to remember them could be to share them on the special website that has been set up by the bbc head of the 80th anniversary of the end of the 80th anniversary of the end of the 80th anniversary of the end of the war. the bbc is trying to get as many of the first accounts. the idea is to preserve them for future generations. you can contact us here at www.bbc.co.uk/wewerethere or visit the bbc news website and search "we were there". a petition launched by grieving parents against the proposed relaxation of rules on the ratio of staff to children in care settings will be considered for debate in parliament. the government said it was considering changing the rules to reduce costs for parents and give nurseries

more flexibility. ellie price reports. cheeky. funny. a little terror at times — but not too much. he was just a perfect baby in the sense that he only cried when he really wanted something. oliver steeper was nine months old when his mum zoe got a call from the nursery to come straight away. i remember thinking at the time, "well, they wouldn't have sounded "so vague if something had had happened," so i kinda got myself down there. that's when i knew that it was bad because there were two ambulances there so i thought, "mmm, this isn't good". oliver had choked. he never regained consciousness and died a few days later in hospital. what happened that day at oliver's nursery is yet to be established — a police investigation is ongoing — but his death has turned his parents into campaigners. their petition is against proposals to increase the number of two—year—olds and over a member of staff can look over in a childcare setting.

while there are no plans to change the ratios for the under twos, as oliver was, they feel once one age group is changed, all could be. we've gone through such a traumatic experience. we can only sit there and think that if they do change the ratio, it makes it more unsafe than it is already and another set of parents potentially have to go through this nightmare what we've gone through, and we just couldn't sit there and feel comfortable with that, and that's — we had to start the petition. it received 100,000 signatures — the point at which parliament will consider a debate — on the first anniversary of ollie's death in september. but still, people keep signing. it feels like, going to that debate on monday, it feels like we've got all of those 107,000 people behind us. we've got oliver with us, he'll be pushing us along kind of thing and now, all of a sudden, we've got us two, oliver... an army! yeah — it feels like an army.

an army. so, it's truly humbling. # the wheels on the bus go round and round. at the moment, for every four two—year—olds in a childcare setting in england, there needs to be one number of staff. the government is looking to increase that, as it is in scotland, to one adult in every five children. that would mean there could be two fewer staff for song time on the rug here at the abacus nursery in new romney. and while that may not pose an immediate health and safety risk, staff say it could have a very negative impact on their children's development. we need key persons for the children. that's the very fundamental part of ourjob is to make sure their social and emotional needs are being met. once a child is happy and the environment is right, then they will learn. if you haven't got the staff there to even begin those conversations, that communication and interaction, then that opportunity is missed. according to the early years alliance, a recent survey suggested

around 90% of childcare settings were against the changes. only 2% said it would lower fees for parents. it's sending the wrong message to the sector that we're not valued at all. doesn't really matter — it's only early years. well, actually, the early years is where it starts, the foundation for their lives, and if we get this wrong, it — we will pay the price in years to come. the government says no decisions have been made and it's looking at ways to improve the availability and affordability of childcare and the welfare and safety of children remains a priority. ellie price, bbc news, new romney. mike's here with all the rest of the sport. the rating morning. yes, the england manager has been saying how proud he is of the women's team but in the end they did lose, heartbreak for the red roses. at a bully and advert

for women's rugby. the world cup final between holders and new zealand, red roses were unbeaten in so many matches. a record crowd as well, over1t3,000. england raced into a 14—0 lead early on and looked like the favourites, but then a key moment when lydia thompson was sent off for a reckless tackle so england played the rest of the match with m on the pitch. so tight with two points in it. and then another key moment, a brilliant try swung the match the way of new zealand. this was when new zealand were also down to 14 was when new zealand were also down to m for a time after a yellow card. england had the chance late on to kick a penalty to equalise and take the match into extra time, but they didn't want to settle for extra time, they wanted to kick for the win and they went for the touchline. they got a line out, so close to the new zealand try line, but new zealand won it and that was that.

but in 2015, a brain aneurysm robbed her of the ability to walk and talk. her recovery took years. since then she has only made occasional public appearances and she had to re—learn guitar by watching old videos of herself on youtube. then over the summer this happened. # ice cream castles in the air...# joni mitchell back and stage — herfirst full live show in 20 years. cheering and applause. the star recently sat down with sir eltonjohn to reflect on their performance. the newport folk festival you played guitar and you sang and it is extraordinary to see how music has brought you back to life. yes. you stood up and played guitar.

i had to figure out what i did and i couldn't sing, i had become an alto and i could not sing the song and i thought people would feel... but i liked the guitar part of that song and it was very well received, to my delight. as they discussed her career, she said she felt classic albums like blue had not received the recognition they deserve. at the time, no, it took a lot of flak if anything. you know, people thought it was too intimate. it was almost like dylan going electric. it upset the male singer song writers, they thought do we have

to hear our souls? it made people nervous.
