hello and welcome to the programme — an explosion in the city of istanbul has killed at least six people and injured more than 80 others. the blast happened in a busy street in the centre of the city. the turkish government believes the blast was thought to be a terrorist attack, carried out by a woman. turkey's president erdogan has condemned it, as �*a vile attack�*. our senior international correspondent, orla guerin, has sent this report. 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. to ukraine now where residents in the city of kherson have continued to celebrate the departure of russian troops. but the authorities there are warning supplies of bread and medicine have run out. president zelenksky said that investigators have uncovered evidence of war crimes in the region, which was occupied for over 8 months. the security situation remains tense, and an overnight curfew has been imposed — amid fears that russian troops may resume shelling. our international editor, jeremy bowen, has reached

the centre of kherson, and sent this report. how are you? are you 0k? sunday morning shopping at the central market in kherson. a town that wants desperately to be normal again. to relax into old rituals. a family outing without fear. glory to ukraine, until a few days ago, words that could land you injail or worse. ukraine forever. you're happy? yes, i am happy. it's ok. no russians? no russians. i don't love russia. only ukraine. it is the best, she said. a sunday without russians, even the air. i can breathe. why did they beat him? then she showed what her son,

a former soldier looked like after the russians beat him for ten days. after that, he escaped abroad. like everyone i met in kherson, yuri's joy was complicated. happy moment inside but you're still cautious. because it's not a happy story yet, we do not know what will happen. we are afraid of some shelling, we are afraid of some catastrophic blow somewhere nearby. for the ukrainians, the priority is now getting these people what they want, there is food for sale in the market, though not everybody has got money. but there is very little running water, electricity, there is no mobile network. more than anything else, though, what people need is security because kherson is still a war zone, the wider region and the russians are still within range.

it says "kherson forever with russia." the post was meant to celebrate, not mock the kremlin�*s illegal annexation of kherson at the end of september. on the same road, people queued at a hose connected to a well at a butter factory. russia's legacy includes a crippled water system. that is why they're filling bottles from the river that is also the first line of defence for russians who retreated to the other side. the water collectors barely noticed firing from ukrainian artillery, which hit a target on the russian controlled bank. the roads running out into kherson�*s coastal land tell a story of changing fortunes of the war. in march, the russians still advancing to the black sea, won the battle here.

they steam—rolled through a school dedicated to linen a school dedicated to lenin when ukraine was part of the soviet union. the ukraine president says war crimes happen here. we saw as yet unidentified bodies left on the road until this morning, when victorious ukrainian engineers moved back in. you cannot live together as neighbours again easily? i don't want to see them nearby if they, like, - withdraw and eventually | they will to their own borders, j let them live there and we just want them out of our land. back in kherson, the central square was still packed with people, relieved the russians were gone and celebrating survival and defiance. slowly, then more loudly, theyjoined in for the ukrainian national anthem. emotions poured out of them.

occupations leave deep scars. for all of the significance of ukraine's victory in kherson, it would be easier if it meant the people here could plan for peace. but they cannot because this town's war is not over. jeremy bowen, bbc news, kherson. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines. the democrats have retained control of the us senate in the mid—term elections, after winning a pivotal race in the state of nevada. president biden said he was incredibly pleased by the results, which are a blow to donald trump's hopes of running again for the white house. the british home secretary, suella braverman, will sign an agreement in paris on monday morning to step up patrols on french beaches in a bid to deter migrant boat crossings. more than forty—thousand migrants have crossed the channel this year. uk contributions towards the patrols will increase jeremy hunt — who's

responsible for the uk government's finanaces — has told the bbc that thursday's autumn statement will include higher taxes and spending cuts. mr hunt promised to protect the most vulnerable people in the country, but he pointed out that difficult decisions will have to be made. climate activists in spain have used coca—cola bottles to splash fake blood and oil over the glass cases housing exhibits in barcelona's egyptian museum, in a protest against the soft—drink giant's sponsorship of the cop27 environmental summit. it's the latest in a string of stunts by climate justice protesters targeting artworks. the us presidentjoe biden is due to meet the chinese leader xi jinping 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? of a 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 has made things worse. no one expects this last—minute meeting betweenjoe biden in xijinping to reset the relationship. and xijinping to reset the relationship. the best hope is that it might stop its deteriorating into outright confrontation. both of these leaders have 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 on their side and there are so many things that they can agree on. the 620 is a creation of the heady hey—day of globalisation. a symbol of a bygone era where there was a broad consensus about the deal with the world's most pressing problems.

all of the countries here 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. once they do, how they handle their many differences will determine whether the 620 remains relevant. bbc news. richard mc6regor, a senior fellow for east asia at the lowy institute in sydney says the leaders are taking advantage of the possibility of meeting in a third country. well, first thing is they're actually talking and i don't think mr biden has met mr xi jinping believes been in office. an interesting fact is there a meeting and a third country and the reason for that is neither of them has the political capital to invite each other to either beijing or washington and they can only

meet in third countries of their taking advantage of that. everything about meeting is that the national security adviser mr biden said on the way out that they expect to meet for about two hours. it mightjust be meeting great, but it extensive discussions, particularly on a wide range of issues that both sides of concerns about.- issues that both sides of concerns about. and mr biden said last week _ concerns about. and mr biden said last week that _ concerns about. and mr biden said last week that he - concerns about. and mr biden said last week that he is - said last week that he is looking for those red lines are the two have in between the conversations. where's that redline going to be when it comes to taiwan?- redline going to be when it comes to taiwan? threat lines are blurry _ comes to taiwan? threat lines are blurry and _ comes to taiwan? threat lines are blurry and on _ comes to taiwan? threat lines are blurry and on both - comes to taiwan? threat lines are blurry and on both sides. l are blurry and on both sides. in beijing things that washington is trying to unravel the agreement in the 70s when the agreement in the 70s when the two forged diplomatic relations and they're pushing taiwan further away from china, creating the grounds for an independent state but by the same token, washington looks a

chinese assertiveness military aggression around taiwan and the like and so, really getting any agreement on the red lines particularly when china is absolutely baked into the cake in beijing that they will get taiwan back or bring it back under beijing's rule is very hard to see how both sides can disengage in that respect. quickly, before we go come out to move on to russia because both sides are on opposite sides of the russian ukraine war and do you think president biden will appeal to presidents xi jinping biden will appeal to presidents xijinping and dreams of leaning into russia, particularly when it comes to food in the crisis there? i think mr biden will really want to impress on mr xijinping that china should not support russia in any form at all. in fact, he would like beijing to put some pressure on moscow and for ukraine to win the war. in

china is also a bit of a bind here because they do not want to help russia by the same token, they do not want to see a russia that is too weak and feeble because they are a partner of china. it is a difficult situation for mr xi jinping. in difficult situation for mr xi jinina. ., difficult situation for mr xi jinuin, ., difficult situation for mr xi jin-uin. .,, , ~ jinping. in to ask because mr biden did _ jinping. in to ask because mr biden did score _ jinping. in to ask because mr biden did score a _ jinping. in to ask because mr biden did score a victory - jinping. in to ask because mr biden did score a victory in l biden did score a victory in the us midterm elections. for this change the tenor of their meeting today? it this change the tenor of their meeting today?— meeting today? it certainly hels meeting today? it certainly helps mr — meeting today? it certainly helps mr biden _ meeting today? it certainly helps mr biden that - meeting today? it certainly helps mr biden that he - meeting today? it certainly - helps mr biden that he doesn't arrive there as a lame duck. i don't know whether it really changes how present xi jinping treats biden as they've known each other for years. much stronger domestic hand to the table and that is important because both of them have important domestic constituencies which they have to manage in which they cannot escape.

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. our 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.
