the number of migrants who have crossed the channel in small boats this year topped 40,000 at the weekend, which is a steep increase on the 28,000 who made the same journey last year. by contrast, only 300 people made the crossing in 2018, when far more came across in lorries. the deal has been criticised by refugee agencies and the conservative mp for dover for being insufficient to deal with the crisis and failing to tackle why people risk their lives to cross the channel in the first place. the home secretary is describing it as a step forward rather than something that will fix the problem. our home editor mark easton is in dover. is there any sense of how much difference this deal will make, if any? as you had, the home secretary playing down the impact of this agreement with france, and probably wisely, because the asylum problem or crisis is about more than a stand—off between migrants and police on the beaches of northern france, and we have had a weekend with a lot of migrant activity, and it has been another very busy day in

dover port behind me. around 2,000 migrants have arrived on the kent coast in the last few days. each individual brought ashore, adding to the pressure on already under fire home secretary to get a grip on what she describes as a migration crisis. as dover greeted migrant rescue boats, suella braverman was in paris for an early morning signing ceremony with her french counterpart. in her pocket, more money to pay more gendarmes to patrol the calais beaches and an agreement on closer cooperation. but hold on, sandhurst? that sign rings a bell. the sandhurst treaty was the uk—french security deal signed by prime minister theresa may and french president emmanuel macron back in 2018. in fact, there have been quite a few deals, each promising to stop small boats leaving the channel coastline. in 2018, the uk handed over £16 million for improved security

in france, and that was on top of 100 million spent in the previous three years. then in 2019, another 3 million. in 2020, 27 million, and then in 2021, 55 million and today, £63 million in the latest deal. so will it make any difference? in order to solve the problem of illegal migration on the channel, we take a multi—dimensional approach. there's no single answer. there's no quick fix, there's no silver bullet. the hope is that embedding uk border force observers in the french control centre will make it easier to disrupt attempts to cross the channel, like this one filmed yesterday by a french fisherman. dover's mp, though, doesn't think the deal is good enough. well, i think this new french agreement, unfortunately, falls short of the type of action that we need to tackle the small boats crisis. it is an absolutely urgent situation. we do need to see those boats stopped before they leave france. this morning's arrivals were loaded onto coaches for the 20 mile journey to the processing centre at manston.

recently criticised by inspectors for wretched conditions, including overcrowding and disease, the home office wouldn't say whether the numbers at manston today remain within legal limits. this has been going on a very, very long time, and the home secretary has said that the asylum system is broken. she's right about that — they broke it. so, yes, this is a step in the right direction, but there is so much more that needs to be done. as things stand, the most effective tool to stop asylum seekers risking their lives to reach the uk is not gendarmes, night vision equipment or embedded borderforce officers, it is the weather. if the seas remain calm enough for the smugglers to operate, thousands more will make the perilous journey. mark easton, bbc news, dover. and our correspondent lucy williamson is in calais. what is the view in calais about the deal?

more resources, more patrols, more equipment is always welcome, but as you have heard, that will never be the whole solution, partly because of the kind of geography we are dealing with today. the last patrol i was out on, the commander said thanks to the uk, we have the drones to spot the smugglers, the vehicles to spot the smugglers, the vehicles to get across the dunes quickly, but they often hide their boats and side thickets ofjulie thorny, tough scrub that sometimes comes up to the waist or chest, it rips through uniforms and skin, and that is never going to be a quick or stealthy approach. so i think there are people here who are quite pleased there will be british officers observing what they do here on french soil, because they think it might make it easier to explain the sum of those challenges. certainly a good sign for political ties, warmer relations after years of tensions, but there are some more cynical attitudes as well. one official at the town hall here privately suggested to me that having british officers here, you canjust as

observers, would make it much harder for the uk to point the finger of blame at france.— for the uk to point the finger of blame at france. lucy williamson in calais, thank _ blame at france. lucy williamson in calais, thank you. _ a court has been hearing emotional evidence from the mother of a baby boy who's alleged to have been murdered by a nurse in chester. the woman, who can't be named for legal reasons, is said to have walked into the room as the prosecution say lucy letby�*s attack on her son was in progress. 0ur north of england correspondent judith moritz reports. a warning — you may find some of her report upsetting. these incubators were supposed to be the safest possible environment for the premature twin boys who were in them in the summer of 2015, but it's alleged that within 2a hours, one was murdered here and an attempt was made to kill the other. the prosecution say that their nurse lucy letby injected the older twin, known as baby e, with air into his bloodstream. the twins' mother was on the postnatal ward recovering from giving birth.

one evening, she went to drop off some breast milk for her sons�* feed. she said that as she approached the room, she could hear her son crying, and it was unlike anything she'd ever heard before. she said it was not a sound that should come from a tiny baby, it was horrendous, more of a scream than a cry. the mother said she panicked because she felt there was something wrong. lucy letby was the only person in the room. but she was standing by the nurse's workstation, not by the incubator. the mother said that when she reached the incubator, she saw blood around baby e's mouth and that nurse letby had told her it was because the baby's feeding tube had rubbed his throat, an explanation she accepted, though she was concerned by it. prosecuting, nickjohnson kc asked the twins' mother, "did lucy letby say anything else to you?" "she told me to go back to the ward," said the mother. "why did you do what you were told?", she was asked. "because she was an authority," she said, "and she knew better than me and i

trusted her completely." the jury has been told that baby e died in the early hours of the next morning, and afterwards, nurse letby bathed him. later that night, she and a colleague exchanged text messages about what had happened. lucy letby said, "it was just awful because baby e was just bleeding from everywhere during resus. parents distraught. i feel numb." her colleague said, "you seem to be having some very bad luck," to which lucy letby replied, "not a lot i can do, really. he had a massive haemorrhage. could have happened to any baby." it's alleged that lucy letby tried to murder baby e's twin brother the following day. she denies all of the charges she faces, against a total of 17 babies. judith moritz, bbc news, manchester. the ukrainian president has been visiting the city of kherson, days after it was recaptured following the withdrawal of russian forces. addressing troops in the city's main square, volodomyr zelensky said step by step they are reclaming the country's invaded territories.

the recapture of the city is a strategic setback for moscow, because it was the only regional capital to fall into russian hands after it invaded ukraine in february. 30,000 russian troops have retreated east of the city across the dnipro river, where they are preparing postions they can more easily defend. in kherson today, president zelensky praised the ukrainian army, saying it had done a greatjob and the country was moving forwards. 0ur correspondentjames waterhouse was there. after everything kherson�*s main square has seen, today was more than just a change in the wind. untiljust until just weeks ago, untiljust weeks ago, the site of ukraine's leader here would have been difficult to imagine. translation:— been difficult to imagine. translation: , ., ., ., translation: this regional capital is back on its _ translation: this regional capital is back on its control. _ translation: this regional capital is back on its control. he _ translation: this regional capital is back on its control. he was - translation: this regional capitalj is back on its control. he was asked whether it was _ is back on its control. he was asked whether it was the _ is back on its control. he was asked whether it was the beginning - is back on its control. he was asked whether it was the beginning of - whether it was the beginning of the end of this war. we whether it was the beginning of the end of this war.— end of this war. we are moving forward, end of this war. we are moving forward. we — end of this war. we are moving forward, we are _ end of this war. we are moving forward, we are ready - end of this war. we are moving forward, we are ready for - end of this war. we are moving l forward, we are ready for peace, end of this war. we are moving - forward, we are ready for peace, but our peace for our country as all our

as though they got that. they talked about issues such as the economy, trade, human rights, different approaches to ukraine, and the most contentious which is taiwan, which china sees as a renegade province which should rejoin the mainland. mr biden repeated that us policy has not changed, even though he has suggested several times that the us would come to the defence of taiwan if china should attack. xi jinping repeated that this was a red line that americans had better not crossed, but both leaders signalled pretty strongly that they want to manage this relationship, keep up the commune occasion, and that now secretary of state antony blinken will be travelling to china to continue the discussion. barbara in washington. _ continue the discussion. barbara in washington, thank _ continue the discussion. barbara in washington, thank you. _ on thursday, the chancellor jeremy hunt will announce his autumn statement. he's warned that we will all be paying more tax and that some of the cuts required are eye—watering. tens of billions of pounds are set to be clawed back, but exactly how to do that while trying to grow the economy at the same time

isn't easy. our economics editor faisal islam is here. so what are some of the key issues facing the government? this is a very unusual budget — a type of rescue budget after a massive energy shock. this is how big — in 2019, the uk as a whole — that's households, companies and government — spent about £40 billion on its energy bill. this year, it's up fourfold, so £190 billion — that increase is basically like having to fund another nhs. that cost can't be shouldered by households and it's the government's job is to share the pain around — pain the prime minister acknowledges has also been made worse by his predecessor. on the steps of downing street, i said that mistakes had been made and part of the reason that i became prime minister was to address them and what we've seen now is that stability has returned to the united kingdom. but that's because the expectation is that the government will make those difficult but necessary decisions. and those difficult decisions are likely to include significant spending cuts. take infrastructure investment —

some, things like buildings, roads and railways — set to be pushed back — a potentially easy way for the treasury to find savings and if cut back to closer to £50 billion a year rather than £70 billion a year — that's many billions in savings while still leaving spending well above the average of the previous labour government, for example. but the government's own infrastructure tsar told me that priorities such as levelling up were at risk from "flip flopping" over investment like this. well, it is very important for levelling up and particularly in the midlands and the north and therefore i would hope that we will not see things like the integrated rail plan being shelved or indeed hsz, because i think they can play a vital part in levelling up. then there's tax rises of a sort.

between 2005 and 2020 the number of uk taxpayers has remained remarkably constant — around 31 million, within that the number paying the 40p higher rate is around four million. since then, with the thresholds frozen, there are now 34m taxpayers, and it's heading for 35m by 2026, and 36m if extended out on thursday. meanwhile the number of higher rate taxpayers could go from 4 million in 2020 to over double that to 8.5 million so lots more tax revenue from a wider tax net of taxpayers. so tough decisions on spending and tax, some pushed into the future past 2025. an acknowledgement of the balancing act of making the numbers add up and not worsening the immediate recession. thank you.

over the course of the week there will be lots more information on the autumn statement on the bbc website. you can find out more about what's likely to be announced on thursday at bbc.co.uk/news, and by using the bbc news app. the time is 6:18. our top story this evening: the government strikes a deal with france to try to reduce the number of migrants crossing the channel but admits it won't solve the problem. and still to come — a hundred years since the first official bbc broadcast — a radio news bulletin. and coming up on sportsday in the next 15 minutes on the bbc news channel, we're into the final week of the rugby league world cup. england's women are one win away from the final. we'll get the latest ahead of tonight's semifinal.

the global population is projected to hit a new all—time high tomorrow — reaching the landmark figure of eight billion people, according to the united nations. the world's population has doubled in less than 50 years and is set to keep rising. our medical editor fergus walsh has been examining the figures and what they mean for us all. our planet has never held so many people, as the era of huge population growth continues. back in 1800, there were around 1 billion people on earth and it took over a century for that to double. then it really took off in the 20th century, reaching 3 billion in 1960 and putting on nearly a billion each decade after that. it reached seven billion in 2011. we're now set to hit 8 billion people on the planet. so what about the future? the un projects they'll be 9 billion people by around 2037, and 10 billion by 2058. global population could peak at around 10.4 billion in the 2080s

and then plateau before declining in the next century. the united nations says more than half the projected population increase to 2050 will be in just eight countries, half of them are in sub saharan africa. indeed, the total population of this entire region is set to almost double to 2 billion by 2050. remember, it includes some of the world's least developed countries — many already experiencing food insecurity. india and china are the world's most populous countries. both are home to more than 1.4 billion people, but india will overtake china next year. china's population, along with scores of other countries, is set to fall sharply later this century. now that's because global fertility is declining dramatically. back in 1950, women gave birth, on average, to five children. that has since more than halved

to 2.3 births and it's set to fall even further. but there are so many people of child—bearing age now, that explains why the global population will keep rising for much of this century. another reason is we're living longer. average global life expectancy reached almost 73 years in 2019, up almost nine years since 1990. covid actually pushed it down by nearly two years but it's projected to keep rising. the world's population is also ageing. about one in ten people on the planet is now 65 or older. by 2050, it will be almost one in six. so that will put a greater burden on the young. our growing population also puts increasing pressure on resources — food, water, energy, as well as infrastructure. huge issues for society, with lasting implications for our planet.

fergus walsh reporting there. the head of gwent police says any officers found to be sharing "abhorrent messages" could face criminal action. it follows reports that shocking sexist and racist content was found on devices belonging to a former officer. the chief constable has been meeting a group of mps and senedd members to discuss the investigation. our wales correspondent, hywel griffith is outside gwent police headquarters. these messages were found on the phone and a tablet belonging to an officer who has served at gwent police for over a quarter of a century before he died two years ago. a solicitor for his family said they found these conversations between him and other officers which discuss sexual harassment of colleagues and included sexist, racist and homophobic abuse, as well as evidence of corruption. there is an independent investigation into

the matter but after reports in the sunday times yesterday, the chief constable here at gwent police has spent the afternoon meeting local mps and senedd members to hear their concerns was that one politician who was at the meeting told the bbc they feel reassured that this force is trying to change its culture. however, it is only two months since two senior officers here were sacked for inappropriately touching a junior officer at a work event. so there are some who say the events here and issues at the met at the police now should trigger a wider public inquiry into police behaviour but we will wait to see what the independent investigation brings. the person speaking on behalf of the officer's family say they have already lost trust in the police and they want to see at these issues being brought to the wider public. thank the clothing groupjoules has announced it is calling in administrators after failing to secure emergency investment, putting around 1600 jobs at risk. the leicestershire—based company started out selling colourful clothes at country shows, before growing to over 130 high street shops.

its founder, tom joule, says he hopes restructuring the business model could enable the brand to survive on a smaller scale. he's one of the greatest footballers ever to have played the game — but this time, cristiano ronaldo's opponent is his own club. he's launched an extraordinary attack on manchester united, saying he feels betrayed by the club and that it's trying to force him out. he was speaking on talk tv. our sports correspondent joe wilson reports. think of a footballer more famous than cristiano ronaldo. well, perhaps you can't. he returned top manchester united last season, but the club's latest manager erik ten hag is building his team around others. ronaldo feels betrayal. people should listen to the truth, yes, ifeel betrayed, and i felt that some people, they don't want me here, not only this year, but last year, too. cristiano ronaldo was originally signed by sir alex ferguson nearly 20 years ago — glory days.

ronaldo now believes that united are stuck in the past. since sir alex ferguson left, i saw not evolution in the club. the progress was zero. nothing changed, surprisingly not only the pool, the jacuzzi, even the gym. they stop in time. it surprised me a lot. naturally, all this is the talk of football, for example on the bbc�*s match of the day 2. whether he feels lied to or not, todayjust don't feel right to me, i don't think it's going to help him with manchester united fans. i think it's disappointing, to be honest. _ | i mean, he's got nothing to prove, j so i can't understand why he would want to put his point across. maybe his ego's dented a little bit. well, what do united's supporters make of ronaldo's comments? it doesn't look good for, obviously, his relations with the club, and i don't think you'll probably see him playing again. no player is above the manager's decisions at the end of the day, not even someone of ronaldo's scale. we back ronaldo, don't we?

he's a massive player, isn't he? so i think... and like the fans, theyjust love ronaldo, don't they? _ like, the kids especially, they look up to ronaldo.| officially, manchester united are considering their response and emphasising current momentum. while their match winner at the weekend was an exciting young attacker, he's alejandro garnacho, not cristiano ronaldo, and ultimately all players — even him — will be replaced. joe wilson, bbc news. the king is celebrating his 74th birthday today — his first as monarch. to mark the occasion, a portrait showing him standing beside an ancient oak tree in windsor has been released. there are no public engagements planned and he is expected to mark the day privately. but there was this... the royal guards played happy birthday for the king at buckingham palace. can you solve a rubik's cube? george scholey, a so—called

perhaps wednesday into thursday as well. so yes, we have disliked
