explosion. sunday afternoon shoppers running for their lives. this was istiklal street, right after the blast. it's the very heart of istanbul. sirens. as the casualties were rushed away, turkey's president was offering his condolences, and saying it appeared to be a terrorist attack. initial developments and initial intelligence from the governor are that it smells like terrorism, said recep tayyip erdogan, adding the culprits would be punished. turkey's justice ministry now says the bomber was a woman who had sat on a bench in the area for a0 minutes before the blast. it was the first major bomb attack in istanbul in years.

well, istiklal remains sealed off now. there is a heavy police presence. but this is normally one of the busiest places in istanbul, an area that is crammed with visitors and with shoppers. now police are carrying out their investigations, and there is a real sense among people here of anxiety. for istanbul, this has come as a shock. hayat told us she was in an intranet cafe on istiklal and rushed out to see dead and injured. what i saw was a pram, she said. i saw wounded people running around. there was a woman running, carrying her dog. it was a frenzy. as night fell, the shadow of an old fear. this city has been bombed in the past, by both kurdish separatists and islamist militants. people here are wondering, are we back to that?

orla guerin, bbc news, istanbul. the us presidentjoe biden is due to meet the chinese leader xijinping in indonesia later, where they will both be attending this year's 620 summit on the island of bali. this will be the first time the two men have met in person since mr. biden was elected two years ago, and comes at a time of heightened us—chinese tension over taiwan and russia's invasion of ukraine. mr biden has said he wants to find a way to manage the disagreements between the two countries. our southeast asia correspondent jonathan head reports from bali. could they have picked a more serene location to tackle the troubles of the turbulent world? this summit is indonesia's big moment. an opportunity to showcase its quiet diplomacy. a giant country which

seeks peaceful relations with all the great powers. that is a lot harder today. growing animosity between the us and china already threatens this regions trade based prosperity. tension over taiwan and the war in ukraine is making things worse. no one expects this last—minute meeting betweenjoe biden in xijinping to reset the relationship. the best hope is that it might stop its deteriorating outright confrontation. bath it might stop its deteriorating outright confrontation. both of these leaders _ outright confrontation. both of these leaders of _ outright confrontation. both ofj these leaders of overwhelming incentives not to go at the end of the meeting before the tv cameras and say that we failed. too much is at stake for both of them and for all the countries they want to keep on their side and there's so many things that they can agree on. the 620 is things that they can agree on. the g20 is a creation of globalisation. a symbol of a bygone era where there

was a broad consensus about the deal with the roots most pressing problems. other countries represent big beneficiaries of that. another must confront a new era for superpowered rivalries make reaching agreements on anything difficult or impossible. there is a lot to discuss here, climate, food security, energy and health and there's been plenty of talk about those negotiating well before the leaders arrive. 0nce those negotiating well before the leaders arrive. once they do, how they handle their many differences will determine whether the g 28 remains relevant. bbc news. for more on that meeting between the presidents of the us and china let's cross live to sydney and speak to richard mcgregor, he's a senior fellow for east asia at the lowy institute, an independent think tank.

but anything is the most important topic they need discuss today? the first thin topic they need discuss today? lie: first thing is topic they need discuss today? tie: first thing is that they're actually talking. that mr biden has met is in xijinping in office and be interesting that they are meeting the third country and neither the two of them have the political capital to invite each other to either beijing or washington, as they can only meet in third countries so they're taking advantage of that. the other good thing about the meeting is that jake sullivan, the national security adviser said this on the way out that they expect to meet for about two hours and willjust be a meet and greet, there will be substantial discussions, presumably on a high of a wide range of issues in both have concerns about. find a wide range of issues in both have concerns about.— a wide range of issues in both have concerns about. and joe biden said last week these _ concerns about. and joe biden said last week these waiting _ concerns about. and joe biden said last week these waiting for - concerns about. and joe biden said last week these waiting for red - last week these waiting for red lines were the two have their conversations and where is the redline going to be when it comes to

appeal to president xijinping about meaning into russia, particularly when it comes to food and crisis there? i when it comes to food and crisis there? ~ ~ �* ., , there? i think mr biden will really im ose there? i think mr biden will really impose that _ there? i think mr biden will really impose that they _ there? i think mr biden will really impose that they should - there? i think mr biden will really impose that they should not - there? i think mr biden will really i impose that they should not support russia and any form at all. he would like beijing to put some pressure on moscow over ukraine and i think china is also a bit of a bind here because they do not want to help russia but by the same token, they do not want to see a russia that is too weak and feeble because they are part of china. it is a difficult situation for xijinping. find part of china. it is a difficult situation for xi jinping. and i do have to ask _ situation for xi jinping. and i do have to ask because _ situation for xi jinping. and i do have to ask because mr- situation for xi jinping. and i do have to ask because mr biden l situation for xi jinping. and i do i have to ask because mr biden did score what was considered a victory in the us midterm elections. will this change the tenor of the meeting today was yellow and asked mr biden that they're going to be there and

this is newsday on the bbc. i'm monica miller in singapore. 0ur headlines at least 6 people have been killed — and 80 injured — in an explosion in a busy shopping area in central istanbul. president biden arrives in indonesia. he'll meet the chinese leader xijinping on monday — ahead of the g20 summit. now turning to the uk where its finance secretary has told the bbc that "everyone" will pay more tax — and there will be spending cuts — when he gives his autumn statement on thursday. chancellorjeremy hunt said the most vulnerable would be protected, but "difficult decisions" had to be made. and he said in the future, there would have to be "constraints" on the government's support for people's energy bills. 0ur political correspondent ben wright reports. he's in charge of the economy at the toughest of times. on thursday, jeremy hunt will explain how the government plans

to tackle rampant inflation, a cost of living crisis and an economy sliding into recession and grisly government finances. today, his tone was sombre, his words stark. we are going to see everyone paying more tax. we're going to see spending cuts. but i think it's very important to say we are a resilient country. the details will be revealed in parliament, but income tax thresholds are likely to be frozen for the next six years, raising billions for the treasury. with public spending set to be squeezed too, mr hunt said his plans would disappoint people but promised to protect the most vulnerable. i will be honest, i will be fair and it will be a balanced approach that recognises that the economy is struggling at the moment, businesses are struggling, families are struggling and we need to help people through a difficult time whilst putting in place the long plan that gets us through to the other side and allows our economy to take off, as i really believe it can. an energy crisis, the covid pandemic and meagre economic

growth have all added to the chancellor's problems. today he was asked whether brexit had added the difficulties facing the economy? i don't deny that to a decision like brexit, but there are opportunities but you have to see it in the round. there will be new, scaled—back plan for helping people with energy bills beyond april. one of the reasons for the instability that followed the mini budget was that people were worried we were exposing british public finances to the volatility of the international gas markets. so there has to be some constraints to it. but yes, we will continue to support families. politically the chancellor has a toughjob on his hands. after the fiasco of september's mini budget, he wants to try and rebuild the government's repeater naef for economic credibility while keeping the fractious tory party on board. and the backdrop of higher taxes, low growth and cash—strapped public

services will shape the battle lines of the next election. raising tough questions for opposition parties about what they would do. it is so important that we have a serious plan for growing our economy and improving living standards of ordinary people. that would give us the money to invest in public services, butjust because you have to make difficult decisions, doesn't mean you have to make the same decisions. and the decisions and the choices that labour would be making would be to make our tax system fairer and would grow the economy so that we've got that money for those essential public services. the chancellor's plan needs to be credible to financial markets, palatable to his party and voters. a very difficultjuggling act that will have an impact on all of us. ben wright, bbc news. a court in tehran, has handed down the first death sentence, in connection with the continuing protests in iran. the protests began around two months

exercise a smart repression and strategic patience and this is a tactic of not allowing more people to be killed so they can give more incentive to come out in the streets and commemorations of those of already been killed in the streets and commemorations of those of already been killed and slogans being written in to ron's walls and other provinces where protesters but if anyone is executed, we will go out in the streets again. it remains to be seen if they execute someone, it will have the effect of the tearing protesters if it will inflame the situation that is already very explosive. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines. tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets in mexico to protest against electoral reforms proposed by president andres manuel lopez 0brador. he wants to replace the independent body which organizes the country's elections with a smaller one, chosen directly by voters. critics say the president is trying to consolidate his control over state institutions.

stay with bbc world news. hello. it was an unseasonably mild remembrance sunday for many, not least in the northwest of wales. this temperature, 21.2 celsius, still needs to be confirmed, but if it is confirmed, that would have been a record high temperature for the uk this late in the year. but have a look at the outlook. temperatures in porthmadog dropping away, closer to where they should be for this time of year. with that, though, we will see some outbreaks of rain and some brisk winds. this weather front bringing rain for some of us on monday morning. but quite a weak affair, actually, as it staggers slowly east. we start the day across some eastern parts of scotland, central and eastern england, perhaps east wales as well, with some areas of low cloud mist and fog, poor visibility, which could give some quite tricky travelling conditions.

and whilst some of that will lift and clear, some may well linger for much of the day. 0ur band of rain getting into western scotland, wales, the southwest of england, but petering out as it goes. sunny skies into northern ireland, temperatures of 12—15 degrees, down on where they have been lately. and then through monday night, this first band of rain fizzles away. but another band of wet weather swings in from the west, and this one will bring some really intense downpours into the southwest of england, parts of wales by the end of the night. so as we look ahead to tuesday, we've got a big area of low pressure up to the northwest of us, this frontal system sliding its way through with some heavy rain. there are more weather systems, you'll notice, waiting in the wings. quite an unsettled week ahead. so on tuesday, heavy rain drifting across southern england, wales, the midlands, northern england, up into scotland. behind that, we will see some sunnier skies. turning rather windy across western and southern coasts and also very windy in the far northeast of scotland, gusts of around 60 miles per hour in shetland, and temperatures generally

between 10—13 degrees. and then as we look ahead to wednesday, this big low still spinning to the northwest. this weather feature running in from the west is going to bring a zone of heavy rain and potentially a squeeze of really strong winds. gales are possible around the southwest of england, maybe the west of wales as well. it's also going to be very windy again in the northern isles and we'll see outbreaks of heavy rain pushing northwards and eastwards. temperatures, though, still down on where they have been, 10—14 degrees.
