stays low, and each are a link directly to the conflict in ukraine for the people are worried about that become a long—standing issue that become a long—standing issue that does not get resolved. the meetin: that does not get resolved. the meeting lasted _ that does not get resolved. the meeting lasted three hours and included... also concerns over north korea's military tests and china's actions towards taiwan also came up. on taiwan, you may remember the controversy this caused from august — us house speaker nancy pelosi visiting taipei and meeting taiwan's president. she became the highest—ranking american official in 25 years to visit taiwain, a self—ruled island claimed by china as its own. to visit taiwan, a self—ruled island claimed by china as its own. this was beijing's response — major military exercises, seen as a trial run for an invasion. china also halted a series of formal dialogue channels with washington,

including on climate change. here's the view of dr yu jie of chatham house on today's meeting between presidents xi and biden. i think what xi jinping is trying to do today is cool the temperature and the likeliness of military escalation between the two sides. but this does notjust depend on beijing but this also largely depends on washington as well, i think given what has happened with russia's invasion in ukraine, beijing think very carefully that it does not want to lead itself into international isolation, in case there might be a military is collation that happens on the way. so we don't really know, but i think overall the aim is cooling down the temperature. overall the aim is cooling down the temperature-— overall the aim is cooling down the temperature. jonathan head is also in bali. temperature. jonathan head is also in bali- here _ temperature. jonathan head is also in bali. here is— temperature. jonathan head is also in bali. here is further— temperature. jonathan head is also in bali. here is further analysis - in bali. here is further analysis from him. in bali. here is further analysis from him-— in bali. here is further analysis from him. ,. ., , from him. the scheduled three hours for this vertical _ from him. the scheduled three hours for this vertical meeting _ from him. the scheduled three hours for this vertical meeting between - for this vertical meeting between these two superpower leaders and they used all of that time covering a large range of subjects, many

where they disagree strongly, and many where they hope to find common ground president biden headset from the start that he will be blunt and straightforward, and from his own account of that meeting, he was. he did not hold back on all the areas where the us has objections to chinese policy, in particular on taiwan and undemanding that russia should pullback taiwan and undemanding that russia should pull back from ukraine. but for all of that, he did stress the need for competition between the two countries, and he said the us will compete intensely with china for influence in the world. this should not veer into conflict. president xi also stressed the responsibility of both sides to manage their relationship responsibly. so there was a very different tone from a we have heard from the two countries over the past year, as their relations have become more and more fractious, the president xi did stress that taiwan is the redline that the us cannot cross this is one subject where it is probably difficult for either side to move

closer together. though mr biden did stress the us one china policy stands and it will not be changed. there was no reference to his comments in the past about using arms forced a defend taiwan, but it is a difficult issue. it is a thorny one and it is probably the one they will find the most difficult to manage. our state department correspondent barbara plett usher is in washington. barbara, you and i have discussed us china relations plenty of times. i wonder what you're made of these talks and will be heard after them. you know, going in, president biden at the white house had really lowered expectations. it was a meeting significant because it took place, not because of what was achieved, and mr biting, he believes that he is best when he is one—on—one and he does know xi jinping quite well because they spend some time together when they were vice presidents, and so he had said that what he was looking for

was a blunt exchange of the interests and priorities. what was important to both china and united states the next two years, and that would help them to manage their relationship, and so i think that seems to have been achieved from at least what hearing from the readouts. they did have a blunt exchange from everything that divides them. but they both came out very much signalling they wanted to manage the relationship and he to that was that talk about medications —— and key to that. the chinese had cut some communication channels after that controversial trip to taiwan by nancy pelosi, and they are going to empower senior officials to talk about areas of cooperation, including perhaps climate change. we'll see what that means in practice, but crucially the secretary of state antony blinken will be travelling to china to continue the discussions, so i think those are fairly clear signals both sides want to prevent this

relationship from deteriorating further and particularly into a sort of new cold war confrontation. if rare of new cold war confrontation. if we no back a of new cold war confrontation. if we go back a few _ of new cold war confrontation. if we go back a few years, _ of new cold war confrontation. if we go back a few years, joe _ of new cold war confrontation. if we go back a few years, joe biden's predecessor donald trump was very keen to toughen up how the us approached trade with china and indeed he did. now the president biden is in charge, have we seen him rollback biden is in charge, have we seen him roll back from that slightly tougher stance that donald trump adopted? know, that is interesting, because policy wise the biden administration has basically kept mr trump's moves. it has not rolled back on the tariffs president trump levied and also, just a few weeks ago, legislation was passed to put export controls on computer chips to china, so that was done for national security reasons, according to the americans, but the chinese saw that as a potential new trademark, a new war against technology they warned

against, so these teams are still quite contentious and they were raised at the meeting today with mr biting also talking about chinese economic practices that he believes are unfair, in terms of market procedures, and he says they harm americans. this is something, actually, that there is bipartisan agreement on the hill. one of the few areas where both parties kind of agree they need to get tough with china, and that includes with economic measures. if china, and that includes with economic measures.- china, and that includes with economic measures. if we look a bit more broadly _ economic measures. if we look a bit more broadly away _ economic measures. if we look a bit more broadly away from _ economic measures. if we look a bit more broadly away from china, - economic measures. if we look a bit | more broadly away from china, there is an awful lot of countries represented at the 620. notjust 20, lots of other countries come along as well. what are joe lots of other countries come along as well. what arejoe biden's priorities in terms of what he wants to come back with? i priorities in terms of what he wants to come back with?— to come back with? i think he was very much — to come back with? i think he was very much pleased _ to come back with? i think he was very much pleased that _ to come back with? i think he was very much pleased that the - to come back with? i think he was i very much pleased that the midterm election results were much more positive than the democrats had been expecting, so i think he wants to project that message that he has

been giving since he was elected, that america is back, and i suppose in this case he wants to say, i am back. i still have a fair bit of clout in the next two years are not going to be me having to fight a rockets congress. i have managed to hold on more than i expected. he mentioned that, in fact, in one of his answers to a question about his meeting with xijinping. so his answers to a question about his meeting with xi jinping. so that is one thing, but i think one of the key priorities for the americans at the 620 is again trying to get a unified international approach to the war, to russia's fourth ukraine, especially as it has continued to drag on and there are questions about support —— war with ukraine. the fact ukraine is a manage to take the city of kherson will be something i am sure he will have used to defend his position that the 620 needs to stand with ukraine at this point. qm. that the 620 needs to stand with ukraine at this point. 0k, barbara, thank ou ukraine at this point. 0k, barbara, thank you very _ ukraine at this point. 0k, barbara, thank you very much _ ukraine at this point. 0k, barbara, thank you very much indeed. - ukraine at this point. 0k, barbara, thank you very much indeed. that l thank you very much indeed. that is barbara live with us outside the

white house in washington. russia's invasion of ukraine is the dominant issue at this 620. president putin isn't attending, but his foreign minister, sergei lavrov, is there. and moscow's foreign ministry has released this video of him working at his hotel. that was in response to a news agency report that mr lavrov had been hospitalised with a heart condition after arriving in bali. he's dismissed what he calls "false reports". the uk prime minister rishi sunak is in bali. travelling with him, our political editor chris mason. for rishi sunak, that focus on the international stage, of problems shared, if you like, amongst world leaders, whilst at the same time keeping an eye on what is going on back home ahead of the autumn statement, the budget that is taking place on thursday and that expectation, because the chancellor and prime minister have

been saying for weeks now it will be difficult. there will be spending cuts and tax rises. many will see it as a bad news budget. shortly after he got off the plane, rishi sunak talked to beth rigby of sky news, asking questions on behalf of all of the uk broadcasters. here is a snippet of their exchanges. we should not pretend that there aren't some difficult choices ahead because that is what is required to ensure that in the long—term, we can do the things that will benefit people's finances, because if inflation gets out of control, that will not help anyone, if interest rates keep spiralling, that will not help anyone. but i am confident that what the government will deliver on thursday will be fair and compassionate and will deal with the challenges we face and put us on a path to recovery for the future. now, let's talk about migration. today, the uk and france have reached a new deal aimed at reducing the number of people crossing the english channel in small boats. more than 40,000 people have made

the crossing so far this year. that's the highest number on record. here's the uk's home secretary, suella braverman. there's no single answer. there's no quick fix, there's no silver bullet. our cooperation and collaboration with the french on the channel, on the uk coastline, on the french coastline is absolutely integral to ensuring that there is a robust barrier preventing people disembarking from the french beaches in the first place. let's look at how this will work. the uk will increases its funding for patrolling operations in france will rise by £8 million a year — or $9.4 million. it'll now total £63 million. the government says this will enable a 40% boost to the number of officers patrolling french beaches. uk observers will also be embedded in french patrol control rooms.

that agreement is already coming under criticism. the uk trade union for borders, immigration and customs is questioning whether it will actually reduce numbers. the additional individuals on patrol, it's another 100 or so officers that the uk is paying for to go on patrol, that will have some level of deterrent effect. but what we know from the last 20 years of dealing with this flow is that you reinforce and seal one area and then this traffic simply moves somewhere else. if we do succeed in making it too difficult to set sail from the beaches around calais, these individuals and the criminals who feed this system will not simply turn around and say, "ok, it got a bit difficult, i'm going to go home now." one of the challenges is the scale of the geographic area that needs to be monitored. people are crossing from over 160 kilometres of the french coastline.

here's lucy williamson in calais. the last patrol i was out on, the commander said, "look, thanks to the uk, we have the drones to spot the smugglers, we have the vehicles to get across to them quickly," but they often hide their boats inside thickets of really thorny, tough scrub that sometimes comes up to the waist, comes up to the chest. it rips through uniforms, it rips through skin, and that's never going to be a quick or stealthy approach. so i think there are people here who are quite pleased there are going to be british officers observing what they do here on french soil, because they think it might make it easier to explain some 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, evenjust as observers, would make it much harder for the uk to point the finger of blame at france.

let's focus on another aspect of this story. and that's the speed at which the uk processes the request for asylum. according to figures from the refugee council, more than 40,000 people seeking asylum in the uk have been waiting between one and three years for a decision on their claim. a further 725 people have been waiting more than five years. hanna beirens is director of the migration policy institute europe. she is live with us. hanne, thanks for your time today. let's talk about the deal between france and the uk. due thicket has a chance of reducing the number of people crossing? reducing the number of people crossin: ? , ., ., �*, crossing? yes, good evening. let's be clear. cross-border _ crossing? yes, good evening. let's be clear. cross-border cooperation| be clear. cross—border cooperation is essential if, yeah, the pressure on immigration asylum system in the uk is to go down, however if we look at the content of the deal, it does mimic past deals, focusing mostly on

border management security, prevention of movement, tackling smuggling, and it does not deal with some of the other components which are crucial to move forward and which is, indeed, processing asylum claims very quickly so that if people cannot stay, you can return them, and working together with their countries to make sure that people can effectively be returned, because that is a big problem in the uk but also in other parts of europe. i uk but also in other parts of euro e. ., , uk but also in other parts of euroe. .,, ., ., uk but also in other parts of euroe. ., ., ., . ,., uk but also in other parts of euroe. ., ., ., ., europe. i was going to ask you about other arts europe. i was going to ask you about other parts of _ europe. i was going to ask you about other parts of europe. _ europe. i was going to ask you about other parts of europe. the _ europe. i was going to ask you about other parts of europe. the countries| other parts of europe. the countries like france or 6ermany process asylum requests significant leak wicker? in asylum requests significant leak wicker? ,., , , asylum requests significant leak wicker? ,. , , ., wicker? in the past, they did not -- significantly — wicker? in the past, they did not -- significantly quicker. _ wicker? in the past, they did not -- significantly quicker. in _ wicker? in the past, they did not -- significantly quicker. in 2015, - wicker? in the past, they did not -- significantly quicker. in 2015, you i significantly quicker. in 2015, you saw similar two—year, three—year weights. that changed with the syrian rivals back in 2015 the 2016, and we see more fast tracking of those, for example, who are seen by the authorities were assessed by the

authorities as having less grounds or less chance of getting protection. so you bring those up front to the queue and you make sure you have sufficient staff also to then process those, because research shows it is really crucial that you return people within one year of them arriving. otherwise it becomes very hard to achieve that. and very hard to achieve that. and finall , very hard to achieve that. and finally. a _ very hard to achieve that. and finally, a question _ very hard to achieve that. and finally, a question about albania, because we know there has been a significant rise in the number of albanians trying to reach the uk. presumably the uk we need some strategy specifically to look at that? , ., ~ ., that? yes, working together with the albanian government _ that? yes, working together with the albanian government will _ that? yes, working together with the albanian government will be - that? yes, working together with the albanian government will be crucial. | albanian government will be crucial. albanian government will be crucial. a few years ago, there was a rise also of arrivals in germany, belgium and other countries from balkan countries, and so for example awareness raising in the countries themselves to make sure the people know that if they come, they will be quickly processed and be returned,

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. 6lobal 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. the bbc is celebrating the 100th anniversary of its first official bbc broadcast, which was a news bulletin from london. so we're nothing if not consistent. our correspondent david sillito has more. hello. 2lo calling, 2lo calling. november the 14th, 1922, and the beginning of the bbc. 2lo was the call sign of the bbc station in london.

and 100 years on, the six o'clock radio news has been marking how it all began. this bulletin marks the moment 100 years ago that the bbc began broadcasting. back in 1922, the news reader at 6pm was arthur burrows. arthur burrows at this point is the first voice of the bbc. he's almost had the idea of broadcasting a few years earlier as well, and within a month he'll be director of programmes at the bbc and one of our first children's presenters. yes, arthur was also uncle arthur, children's entertainer. it wasn't a large organisation on day one. how many staff at the beginning, in november 1922? november 1922, the bbc has a staff of zero. there are no employees... there are no official staff? there are no official staff. arthur burrows does that first broadcast essentially in his spare time. was itjust london in november 1922? no, london was day one. and then day two was birmingham and manchester, and that's where you get musical concerts, children's programmes come in there, the general election results

as well, all mixed in together. and the bbc has only now been discovering how many of its pioneering programmes came from manchester and birmingham. overto you, birmingham. it's adding details to its online radio times history about satire, concerts. and this is puppy from the children's programme from glasgow. but it began with the news and it was nerve—racking. arthur burrows later wrote he could think of no more exacting a test of physical fitness than the reading of a news bulletin. david sillito, bbc news. they are hard asked to follow, but we are doing our best. if you want more analysis from outside source, a good place to find it is on twitter — @bbcrosatkins. you will see recent ones there on

the world cup in qatar, other issues too. more immediately, i will be back with you in a couple of minutes' time. hello. a side to autumn we haven't seen much of. a calm, foggy one across eastern areas to begin today. not much fog, though, in the week ahead. there will be some sunshine at times. the side of autumn we are going to get is one that we're fairly familiar with, and that is one driven by low pressure, with spells of wind and rain at times. and actually, the air coming around the low pressure from the northwest of us in the atlantic does mean that temperatures are on the way down compared with the exceptionally mild weather we've had of late. so as we look at the temperature trend here, from a selection of locations, much closer to average for the time of year by the end of the week, and it could well, by saturday morning, be quite chilly as we start the weekend with a frost. and, yes, spells of wind and rain on the way and turning much wetter from the west and southwest as we go through this evening and night.

so we'll see this spell of heavy rain moving in with strengthening winds as well, gales developing around southern and western coasts, and could be quite tricky travelling conditions across south wales and parts of southern england as we start the day tomorrow. those spots in the east that will start the day dry, it won't stay that way for very long because the rain is advancing further north and east. and once it gets into scotland, it's here we could see some disruption, maybe localflooding, in parts of aberdeenshire, angus, perth and kinross, for example. the rain will be accompanied by gusty winds. does clear from southwest scotland. northern ireland, largely dry and bright. wales and much of southern england drying up by the end of the afternoon, parts of the midlands too. there will be further gusty, blustery showers moving in here, although still on the mild side before those temperatures creep down even further as the week goes on. now, wednesday, a somewhat quieter day. still windy, especially in the northern isles. there'll be showers towards the south and west. many places will actually have a largely dry day on wednesday before the next spell of wet

and windy weather speeds in from the southwest later in the day. and that will track across the uk overnight into thursday. we'll have gales again around the english channel coast, north sea coasts for a time early thursday, and then quite stormy as this area of low pressure gets closer to the northern isles, especially into shetland, on thursday. behind that, blustery winds still across the uk, with sunshine and the chance for showers. as that area of low pressure pulls away for friday, it will be a quieter day. and as i mentioned at the start of the weekend, could be quite chilly with a touch of frost out there before further spells of wind and rain come our way as the weekend goes on. that's your latest forecast. bye—bye for now.

hello, i'm ros atkins. this is outside source. at the 620 in indonesia, joe biden and xijinping have had theirfirst face—to—face talks since mr biden became president. we face-to-face talks since mr biden became president.— face-to-face talks since mr biden became president. we are going to com ete became president. we are going to compete vigorously _ became president. we are going to compete vigorously but _ became president. we are going to compete vigorously but i'm - became president. we are going to compete vigorously but i'm not - compete vigorously but i'm not looking for conflict, i'm looking to manage this competition responsibly. ukraine's president zelensky says it's the beginning of the end of the war as he visits the recaptured city of kherson. and turkey is blaming kurdish rebels for an explosion that killed six people in central istanbul.

more now on our top story — the 620 gathering in bali. for the first time since he took office, president biden has held his first face—to—face meeting with china's president xi jinping. this was the moment the two leaders met. there the two leaders met. were some smiles, handshak as there were some smiles, handshaking as you'd expect. this is on the eve of the summit beginning, 620 stands for a group of 20, representatives from 20 will be there but needless to say, to some degree, the whole thing is being overshadowed by russia's invasion of ukraine and how thatis russia's invasion of ukraine and how that is dealt with. president biden has in the past said the us is prepared to use force if china were ever to invade taiwan. on monday, he stuck with that message. i absolutely believe there is need not be a new cold war. i've met many times with xijinping be a new cold war. i've met many times with xi jinping and we were

candid and clear with one another across the board. i do not think there is any eminent attempt on the part of china to invade taiwan —— imminent attempt. we've made it clear our policy on taiwan has not changed at all. it's the same exact position we've had, we made it clear we want to see cross trade issues peacefully resolved so it never has to come to that.— peacefully resolved so it never has to come to that. let's speak to the host of the — to come to that. let's speak to the host of the spectator's _ to come to that. let's speak to the host of the spectator's chinese - host of the spectator's chinese whispers a podcast. the equilibrium around the issue of taiwan was shaken earlier this year, do you think the words today suggest it is returning? teri. think the words today suggest it is returnin: ? , ., ,., think the words today suggest it is returnina? , ., ., returning? yes to both of those statements — returning? yes to both of those statements. it _ returning? yes to both of those statements. it got _ returning? yes to both of those statements. it got shaken - returning? yes to both of those statements. it got shaken with | returning? yes to both of those - statements. it got shaken with nancy pelosi's visit to taiwan, something the white house may clearly did not support at the time. the status quo is incredibly fragile based on a diplomatic fudge that the us recognises there is one china and

separately that the us recognises that beijing is a legitimate 6overnment that beijing is a legitimate government of china, it does not say that taiwan has no claim over the mainland as it were and so biden is saying that he supports the status quo they are today is something that beijing will have wanted to hear to be reassuring for them. itruiiiiii beijing will have wanted to hear to be reassuring for them.— be reassuring for them. will joe biden it be reassuring for them. will joe ltiden it is _ be reassuring for them. will joe biden it is clear _ be reassuring for them. will joe biden it is clear to _ be reassuring for them. will joe biden it is clear to say, - be reassuring for them. will joe biden it is clear to say, we - be reassuring for them. will joe biden it is clear to say, we are l be reassuring for them. will joe | biden it is clear to say, we are in the same place we've been for some time, but the rhetoric from xi jinping and his colleagues in recent months has potentially shifted gear. do you think the chinese would like to see a shift in the current agreement between the two? the chinese agreement between the two? tia: chinese certainly agreement between the two? t'ta: chinese certainly don't agreement between the two? tta: chinese certainly don't want agreement between the two? t'ta: chinese certainly don't want to agreement between the two? t“ta: chinese certainly don't want to see that which is one of the reasons they were so angry about the nancy pelosi visit because they saw it as an american way of shifting that status quo and something the taiwanese president herself was keen to reiterate when nancy pelosi was there, that they supported the status quo, so i think everyone wants that for now. the question is

whether china is going to invade taiwan in the nearfuture whether china is going to invade taiwan in the near future and whether china is going to invade taiwan in the nearfuture and on that, rhetoric, of course has been military tantrums, especially surrounding the nancy pelosi visit, but the rhetoric itself hasn't got worse. if you look at the party conference that's just gone, it's largely the same as what we've heard before so i think that china, for now, once the status quo and it might invade taiwan at some point but until then and until we have greater intelligence or greater science that it will do that in the near future, science that it will do that in the nearfuture, we science that it will do that in the near future, we should assume that the status quo is the best way forward for everyone involved. t forward for everyone involved. i also wanted to ask about zero covid because the policy of president xi jinping is having an impact on how china supplies the global supply chain which impacts america's economy and lots of others. are you hearing any clues are signs at president xijinping might hearing any clues are signs at president xi jinping might soften his approach to the virus? look president xi jinping might soften his approach to the virus? look how

he is shaking _ his approach to the virus? look how he is shaking president _ his approach to the virus? look how he is shaking president biden's - his approach to the virus? look how| he is shaking president biden's hand without a mask, it's unthinkable that half a year ago, a year ago that half a year ago, a year ago that the president of china would be doing this, given that at one stage in the pandemic, journalists had to quarantine for a week to even be in the same great hall of the people with president xijinping the same great hall of the people with president xi jinping so the same great hall of the people with president xijinping so i think it's already a step forward and what we might start seeing now is the zero covid policy, the borders of china's inwards and outwards movement is easier, quarantine is easier, people going out is easier but if and when there are cases, lockdown happens drastically and heavily so that is the kind of situation we might be moving into, but again, there is a lot of wishful thinking here from notjust businesses but people who are chinese overseas.— businesses but people who are chinese overseas. let's now turn to ukraine, where president zelensky has made a surprise visit to kherson.

his first visit to the city since russian forces withdrew and ukrainian troops entered last week. this is video of him singing the national anthem. that took place in the city square of kherson as the ukrainian flag is hoisted. when russia occupied kherson last march, national songs were banned and speaking ukrainian could lead to arrest. that evidently will change now. this is what the president zelensky said today. this is the beginning of the end of the war. you see our strong army, they are step—by—step coming to our country, to all the temporarily occupied territories. but mr zelensky said a "long and difficult path" lies ahead for ukraine. the square he was visiting is across the river from where

russian troops have now consolidated following their retreat. and there are fears that some russian soldiers may have remained behind in disguise. here's the bbc�*s catherine byaruhanga. russian troops are not too far from the city square, they have retreated to the eastern bank of the da dnipro river but can still fire shells to the city where president zelensky was but he said it was important for him to come to a curse on, especially at this time, to stand with the people there, show them supports —— it was important for him to come to kherson. they have been under invasion for over eight months. when ukrainian forces entered kherson on saturday this is how they were greeted. people cheering and chanting patriotic songs, taking selfies with the soldiers. the celebrations continued over the weekend, particularly in kherson's central square.

here are some of the reactions you're happy? yes, i'm happy. it's ok. no russians. i don't like russians. only ukraine. happy moment inside, but you're still cautious because it's not a happy story yet, we don't know what will happen. we are afraid of some shelling, we are afraid of some catastrophic blow somewhere nearby. the city's governor has now asked people to avoid crowded places and stay away from the city centre. the authorities have imposed a curfew and restricted travel in and out of the city. and locals who fled have been warned not to return until their homes have been checked for mines or booby traps. president zelensky said, "before fleeing from kherson, the occupiers destroyed all the critical infrastructure — communications, water, heat, electricity." these are pictures of people queuing at a hose connected to a wall at a butter factory and these

are of people filling bottles from the river. here's an advisor to the ukrainian energy ministry. i would expect that, you know, barring any kind of russian intervention, which can admittedly happen because they are right across the river so they can intervene in many ways, barring that, everything will be restored quite quickly, so experience from regions that are being liberated, it takes a few weeks and everything is working. maybe even faster. but, of course, again, there is the russian army sitting right there across the river with hundreds of guns. something can happen, the de—mining efforts are being done right now. the region was very heavily mined when the russians were retreating, so heavy de—mining efforts. also, apparently some of the russian troops were left behind. either they could not retreat this was done on purpose, who knows, but they are being rounded up now

so the ukrainian military is conducting sweeping operations there, which also complicates things. it's being reported now that ukraine says russia destroyed a key kherson power station before its retreat, further damaging the infrastructure that the civilians need access to for their day—to—day lives. ukraine now saying russia destroyed the key kherson power station before its retreat. at the united nations general assembly, the ukrainian ambassador said this: russia has tried its best to destroy ukraine in a very literal sense. from day one of the full scale invasion, russia has been throwing bombs, missiles, shells of every kind at ukrainian cities and villages, targeting everything from plants and factories to residential buildings, schools, hospitals and kindergartens. he introduced a resolution asking russia to pay reparations

for all the damage it has caused. this was his russian counterpart�*s response the flawed nature of this initiative is obvious. legally speaking, the provisions of the draft cannot withstand any criticism. they are illegally null and void. they are an attempt to legalise something that, from the view of existing international law, cannot be legalised. at the same time, the co—sponsors of the draft cannot but understand that passing the resolution will lead to consequences which will, like a boomerang, come back to them. joining me now is the head of the ukrainian railways, alexander kamyshin. thank you forjoining us. can you first of all tell us how much damage has been done to railways around kherson? taste

guys, a group of baby turtles who have been released back to the sea in florida six weeks after almost being killed by hurricane ian. we will have their story. christmas this year could be a challenging one for retailers as the cost—of—living crisis continues to bite. in a rare interview, the boss of primark has been speaking to our business correspondent, emma simpson, about what it's doing to keep customers coming through the doors. next, please! you don't see queues like this in many shops these days. it is the budget chain, where baskets are filled to the brim. and where some shoppers are now spending to save. to be honest, i bought stuff to keep me warm in the flat because it's really cold in my flat at the moment. i've got storage heaters and they cost a fortune.

yeah, we'll alljust wrap up nice and warm. this is the snoodie department. oversized hoodies doing a roaring trade as temperatures drop. we've got a great selection. meet the boss of primark, ready for a busy christmas. are people trading down to primark? i think customers are looking for better value all the time. i think at primark, we offer them outstanding value. and i think we are attracting new customers as a consequence of that. but how many more clothes do we really need? don't you think that fast, cheap fashion is going to reach a tipping point pretty soon, that it's just not sustainable? we have worked so hard and continue to work hard on ensuring we are improving the quality and the durability of our clothing. we do not want customers to buy something and then discard it. we want them to buy, love, and keep it in their wardrobe, hand it down to their friends. no holding back here.

christmas shopping has started early on the high street. are you spending a bit less this christmas, then? probably not, no. working more. and unlike last year, there's plenty of stock retailers really need to shift. emma simpson, bbc news, manchester. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story: turkish and syrian kurdish groups have denied any role in a bomb attack in istanbul on sunday. six people died and 80 others were wounded. turkey has blamed kurdish rebels.

this was the moment when the bomb went off at a bench in a busy shopping street. our correspondent, anna foster, has been to the scene. well, this street has already reopened. as you can see, there are crowds ofjournalists here but also the usual crowds you would expect to see here on istiklal street are back as well. they are laying flowers. this is the spot where the bench exploded yesterday afternoon around 4:20 and this is really at the beating heart of istanbul. if you've ever been to this city, you will have been down istiklal street. it's very popular with tourists, it's very popular with istanbul locals as well who come out with their families. it is always busy and i think that's why this is such a devastating attack that was clearly designed to target civilians. and this was a shrine at the scene a short while ago — hundreds of mourners have been leaving red carnations. the six people killed were all turkish citizens, two members each from three families.

this is one visitor in the city from new zealand. i spoke to my dad this morning and i said to him, it could have happened in paris, it could have been berlin, barcelona, like, it's not a uniquely turkish event, i don't think, so i guess i'd hesitate slightly more about coming back, but only briefly. the bombing has prompted fears of further attacks ahead of elections due nextjune. it's also brought back memories of a wave of attacks between in paticular in december 2016. on the 10th, twin bombings killed 44 people outside a football stadium in istanbul. a pkk offshoot — the kurdistan freedom hawks — said it was behind the attack. a few days later, on 17th, a car bomb killed 13 soldiers when it tore through a bus carrying off—duty military personnel in the central city of kayseri. again, a group affiliated to the pkk claimed responsibility. on the 31st of december, 39 people died when a gunman opened fire

in a packed istanbul nightclub. islamic state said it was responsible. the turkish authorities have released this video of the arrest of a syrian woman they suspect of planting the bomb. police say she has indicated that she was trained by pkk militants. she's among a total of 46 people detained, but as we've mentioned, pkk has denied involvement. esra yalcinalp from bbc turkish is in istanbul. this morning, there was an official statement by the istanbul police regarding an arrest that they focused as the person who is responsible for planting the bomb on the bench in the busy street this morning. she is of syrian nationality and during her questioning, she reportedly confessed she was trained by the pkk

is a special intelligence officer and that she entered turkey illegally through northern syria and that she received orders from the headquarters of the organisation to carry out the attack on sunday. that was the official statement by the istanbul police released this morning. if that's what the istanbul police are saying, what, if anything, has the pkk said? the are saying, what, if anything, has the pkk said?— are saying, what, if anything, has the pkk said? the pkk has actually denied any connection _ the pkk said? the pkk has actually denied any connection with - the pkk said? the pkk has actually denied any connection with the - denied any connection with the attack that took place on sunday. they released a statement saying that, "our people and the democratic public know closely that we are not related to this incident and that we do not directly target civilians and that we do not accept actions targeting civilians." this was a statement released by the pkk. however, the pkk has targeted civilians before in turkey.

here's a story from florida because a group of baby turtles who were rescued after almost being killed by hurricane ian which hit florida around six weeks ago have been released back to the sea. one of the rescued turtles has been given the name ian, after the hurricane. survivors of one of the storms to states. turtles were “ust was struck a florida was struck by a category four storm. florida was struck by a category fourstorm. hurricane florida was struck by a category four storm. hurricane ian made landfall with devastating force, carving a wide path of destruction. among those swept up in the chaos were hundreds of endangered turtles.

you see ian, ian is thejuvenile green sea turtle, the largest one in this span that was washed back with hurricane ian. he got national press, so they're going to be excited to see him go out. ian was found trapped in a clump of seaweed fighting for his life. he was a shell of his former self, but he was rushed to a specialist turtle hospital and nursed back to health. he is healthy. he is eating well and swimming well, flippers up, and he is ready to go back to sea soon. there you go. the group of turtles hitched a luxury ride back to sea, ferried on a speedboat to an area where they stand the best chance of survival. we'll find a nice patch of sargassum weed, which is a nursery of sorts. it will not only provide camouflage for these littles, but also has lots of little sea creatures so they'll have something to eat. wash backs, the technical name for when baby turtles are swept back to land are often deadly. but ian and 14 companions are now swimming around the florida keys, granted a second chance

of life out at sea. tom brada, bbc news. it's been a good day for dolly parton who has been awarded $100 million by the multi—billionaire founder of amazonjeff bizos. —— bezos. still performing i'm very much in demand and the bezos courage and civility award recognises leaders who pursue solutions with courage and civility. dolly parton has had a huge number of hits and has had a huge number of hits and has been a high—profile supporter of a range of charities which presumably we will be hearing from. she said people who are in a position to help should put their money where their heart is and added she will try to do good things with the money that she has won. thanks

for watching. we'll be back soon. hello. a side to autumn we haven't seen much of. a calm, foggy one across eastern areas to begin today. not much fog, though, in the week ahead. there will be some sunshine at times. the side of autumn we are going to get is one that we're fairly familiar with, and that is one driven by low pressure, with spells of wind and rain at times. and actually, the air coming around the low pressure from the northwest of us in the atlantic does mean that temperatures are on the way down compared with the exceptionally mild weather we've had of late. so as we look at the temperature trend here, from a selection of locations, much closer to average for the time of year by the end of the week, and it could well, by saturday morning, be quite chilly as we start the weekend with a frost. and, yes, spells of wind and rain

on the way and turning much wetter from the west and southwest as we go through this evening and night. so we'll see this spell of heavy rain moving in with strengthening winds as well, gales developing around southern and western coasts, and could be quite tricky travelling conditions across south wales and parts of southern england as we start the day tomorrow. those spots in the east that will start the day dry, it won't stay that way for very long because the rain is advancing further north and east. and once it gets into scotland, it's here we could see some disruption, maybe localflooding, in parts of aberdeenshire, angus, perth and kinross, for example. the rain will be accompanied by gusty winds. does clear from southwest scotland. northern ireland, largely dry and bright. wales and much of southern england drying up by the end of the afternoon, parts of the midlands too. there will be further gusty, blustery showers moving in here, although still on the mild side before those temperatures creep down even further as the week goes on. now, wednesday, a somewhat quieter day. still windy, especially in the northern isles. there'll be showers towards the south and west. many places will actually have a largely dry day on wednesday before the next spell of wet and windy weather speeds in from the southwest later in the day. and that will track across the uk

overnight into thursday. we'll have gales again around the english channel coast, north sea coasts for a time early thursday, and then quite stormy as this area of low pressure gets closer to the northern isles, especially into shetland, on thursday. behind that, blustery winds still across the uk, with sunshine and the chance for showers. as that area of low pressure pulls away for friday, it will be a quieter day. and as i mentioned at the start of the weekend, could be quite chilly with a touch of frost out there before further spells of wind and rain come our way as the weekend goes on. that's your latest forecast. bye—bye for now.

hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. joe biden and xijinping hold their face to face dialogue since the us president came to office. we are going to compete vigorously, but i'm not looking for conflict. i'm looking to manage this carefully. ukraine's president zelensky says it's the "beginning of the end of the war" as he visits the recaptured city of kherson.

estate law, that energy prices stays low, and she drew the link directly to the conflict in ukraine. people here are very worried about that becoming a long—standing issue that doesn't get results. the becoming a long-standing issue that doesn't get results.— doesn't get results. the meeting lasted 'ust doesn't get results. the meeting lasted just over _ doesn't get results. the meeting lasted just over three _ doesn't get results. the meeting lasted just over three hours, - lasted just over three hours, eventual things were discussed, including economic and strategic competition between the us and china, also russia's invasion of ukraine, plus concerns of the various north korean actions, and also china's actions towards taiwan. and on taiwan, you may remember a couple of months back, there was a lot of controversy in august when nancy pelosi visited taipei. she met with a taiwan's president. that made the highest ranking official in 25 years from america to visit taiwan stop bidding men, it has its own 6overnment, but it is claimed by china. this was the response at the time — immediate military exercises, seen by some as a trial run for a

possible invasion. china also holds a series of formal dialogue channels with washington, including on climate change. —— china also halted. i think they're really trying to kill the temperature of likely military escalation between the two sides. this doesn'tjust depend on abating, but also on washington as well. what has happened was russia's revision of ukraine, and beiling will think very carefully that it does not want to lead itself into international and summarisation, so we don't really know, but i think the aim is trying to cool down the temperature. russia's invasion of ukraine is the dominant issue at this 620.

president putin isn't attending but his foreign minister, sergei lavrov, is there. and moscow's foreign ministry has released this video of him working at his hotel. that was in response to a news agency report that mr lavrov had been hospitalised with a heart condition after arriving in bali. he's dismissed what he calls "false reports". the british prime minister, rishi sunak is also in bali. travelling with him, our political editor chris mason. for rishi sunak, that focus on the international stage, problems are shared, if you like, amongst world leaders, whilst at the same time keeping an eye on what is going on back on, instead of that budget on thursday. at that expectation, because the prime minister and chancellor have been seen this repeatedly for weeks now, that it will be difficult, there will be spending cuts and tax rises. what many will seek i suspect, is a bad news budget. shortly after he got

off the plane, he talked to sky news, asking questions on behalf of all of the broadcasters. it is a snippet of their exchanges. taste snippet of their exchanges. we shouldn't snippet of their exchanges. - shouldn't pretend that there aren't some difficult choices ahead, because that is what is required to ensure that in the long term, you can do the things that will benefit people's finances. because if inflation gets out of control, that's not going to help anyone. if interest rates keep spidering, that will help anyone. but i'm confident that what we will deliver on thursday will be fair, compassionate and put us on a path to recovery for the future. now let's talk about migration. the uk and france have reached a new deal aimed at reducing the number of people crossing the english channel in small boats. more than 40,000 people have made the crossing so far this year. that's the highest number on record. here's the uk's home

secretary suella braverman. there is no single answer, not quick fix, no silver bullet. our cooperation and collaboration with the french on the channel, on the uk coastline is absolutely integral to ensuring that is a robust barrier preventing people disembarking from the french beaches in the first place let's look at how this will work. the uk will increases its funding for patrolling operations in france will rise by £9 million pounds a year or 9.4 million dollars. the government says this will enable a 40% boost to the number of officers patrolling french beaches. uk observers will also be embedded in french patrol control rooms. the agreement is already coming under criticism from different quarters. the uk trade union for borders,

immigration and customs is questioning whether it will actually reduce numbers. it is another 100 officers on patrol, and that will have some level of deterrent effect, but what we know from the last 20 years of dealing with this flow is that you reinforce and seal one area, and then the traffic simply move somewhere else. if we make it too difficult to set sail from the beaches around cali, these individuals and criminals who feed the system will not simply turn round and say, got a bit difficult, i'm going to go home now.

one of the challenges is the scale of the geographic area that needs to be monitored. people are crossing from over 160 kilometres of the french coastline. here's lucy williamson in calais. the last patrol i was out on, the commander said, "look, thanks to the uk, we have the drones to spot the smugglers, we have the vehicles to get across to them quickly," but they often hide their boats inside thickets of really thorny, tough scrub that sometimes comes up to the waist, comes up to the chest. it rips through uniforms, it rips through skin, and that's never going to be a quick or stealthy approach. so i think there are people here who are quite pleased there are going to be british officers observing what they do here on french soil, because they think it might make it easier to explain some 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, evenjust as observers, would make it much harder for the uk to point the finger of blame at france.

here's the labour leader sir keir starmer. most people will look. at this and say, "look, there's more taxpayers' cash now being spent on a problem - of the government's making." this has been going - on a very, very long time. and the home secretary has said i 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's so much more that needs to be done — and that's the speed at which the uk processes the request for asylum. according to figures from the refugee council, more than 40,000 people seeking asylum in the uk have been waiting between one and three years for a decision on their claim. a further 725 people have been waiting more than five years. hanna beirens is director of the migration policy institute europe. let's be clear.

cross—border cooperation is essential if, yeah, the pressure on migration asylum system in the uk is to go down, however if we look at the content of the deal, it does mimic past deals, focusing mostly on border management security, prevention of onward movement, tackling smuggling, and it does not deal with some of the other components which are crucial to move forward and which is, indeed, processing asylum claims very quickly so that if people cannot stay, you can return them, and working together with their countries to make sure that people can effectively be returned, because that is a big problem in the uk but also in other parts of europe. i was going to ask you about other parts of europe. do countries like france or 6ermany process asylum requests significantly quicker? in the past, they did not.

in 2015, you saw similar two—year, three—year waits. that changed with the syrian rivals back in 2015 the 2016, and we see more fast tracking of those, for example, who are seen by the authorities, or assessed by the authorities as having less grounds or less chance of getting protection. so you bring those up front to the queue and you make sure you have sufficient staff also to then process those, because research shows it is really crucial that you return people within one year of them arriving. otherwise it becomes very hard to achieve that. and finally, a question about albania, because we know there has been a significant rise in the number of albanians trying to reach the uk. presumably the uk we need some strategy specifically to look at that? yes, working together with the albanian government will be crucial. a few years ago, there was a rise also of arrivals in germany,

belgium and other countries from balkan countries, and so for example awareness raising in the countries themselves to make sure the people know that if they come, they will be quickly processed and be returned, is a very important one, but also as we just discussed, making sure that is effectively done so that people also see that if they come, their cases are quickly processed and they are returned. it will be crucial. inafew in a few minutes, we will talk about this... the bbc is celebrating the 100th anniversary of its first official radio broadcast.

president zelenskiy has made a surprise visit to kherson. here he is singing the national anthem in the city square. when russia occupied kherson in march, national songs were banned, speaking ukrainian could lead to arrest. this is what president zelenskiy are seeing today. is what president zelenskiy are seeing today-— is what president zelenskiy are seeinu toda . , , , seeing today. this is the beginning ofthe seeing today. this is the beginning of the end of— seeing today. this is the beginning of the end of the _ seeing today. this is the beginning of the end of the war. _ seeing today. this is the beginning of the end of the war. we - seeing today. this is the beginning of the end of the war. we are - of the end of the war. we are step—by—step returning our country

destroyed a key kherson power station before it retreated. water supplies are restricted. these people are simply filling their bottles from the river. here's an advisor to the ukrainian energy ministry. i would expect that, you know, barring any kind of russian intervention, which can admittedly happen because they are right across the river so they can intervene in many ways. barring that, everything will be restored quite quickly, so experience from regions that are being liberated, it takes a few weeks and everything is working. maybe even faster. but, of course, again, there is the russian army sitting right there across the river with hundreds of guns. something can happen, the de—mining efforts are being done right now. the region was very heavily mined when the russians were retreating, so heavy de—mining efforts. also, apparently some of the russian troops were left behind. either they could not

retreat or this was done on purpose, who knows, but they are being rounded up now so the ukrainian military is conducting sweeping operations there, which also complicates things. we are repairing the track, but some segments are really heavily damaged. we have got a few kilometres per we have dozens of damages is to attract. it could take several days to fix it, to get it back to the regular train to kherson within ten days. regular train to kherson within ten da s. ., ~' regular train to kherson within ten da s. ., ,, ., regular train to kherson within ten da s. ., ~' . , days. you think that within ten days ou will be days. you think that within ten days you will be able _ days. you think that within ten days you will be able to _ days. you think that within ten days you will be able to restore - days. you think that within ten days you will be able to restore that - you will be able to restore that damaged track?— you will be able to restore that damaged track? you will be able to restore that damaaed track? . , damaged track? that is the goal we have from the _ damaged track? that is the goal we have from the ministry _ damaged track? that is the goal we have from the ministry of— have from the ministry of infrastructure.— have from the ministry of infrastructure. that is from the president- _ infrastructure. that is from the

the bbc is celebrating the 100th anniversary of its first official bbc broadcast — a news bulletin from london. hello. 2lo calling, 2lo calling. november the 14th, 1922, and the beginning of the bbc. 2lo was the call sign of the bbc station in london. and 100 years on, the six o'clock radio news has been marking how it all began. this bulletin marks the moment 100 years ago that the bbc began broadcasting. back in 1922, the news reader at 6pm was arthur burrows. arthur burrows at this point is the first voice of the bbc. he's almost had the idea of broadcasting a few years earlier as well, and within a month he'll be director of programmes at the bbc and one of our first children's presenters. yes, arthur was also uncle arthur, children's entertainer. it wasn't a large organisation on day one. how many staff at the beginning,

in november 1922? november 1922, the bbc has a staff of zero. there are no employees... there are no official staff? there are no official staff. arthur burrows does that first broadcast essentially in his spare time. was itjust london in november 1922? no, london was day one. and then day two was birmingham and manchester, and that's where you get musical concerts, children's programmes come in there, the general election results as well, all mixed in together. and the bbc has only now been discovering how many of its pioneering programmes came from manchester and birmingham. overto you, birmingham. it's adding details to its online radio times history about satire, concerts. and this is puppy from the children's programme from glasgow. but it began with the news and it was nerve—racking. arthur burrows later wrote he could think of no more exacting a test of physical fitness than the reading of a news bulletin. david sillito, bbc news.

they are a hard act to follow, but we are doing our best. hello. a side to autumn we haven't seen much of. a calm, foggy one across eastern areas to begin today. not much fog, though, in the week ahead. there will be some sunshine at times. the side of autumn we are going to get is one that we're fairly familiar with, and that is one driven by low pressure, with spells of wind and rain at times. and actually, the air coming around the low pressure from the northwest of us in the atlantic does mean that temperatures are on the way down compared with the exceptionally mild weather we've had of late. so as we look at the temperature trend here, from a selection of locations, much closer to average for the time of year by the end of the week, and it could well, by saturday morning, be quite chilly as we start the weekend with a frost. and, yes, spells of wind and rain

on the way and turning much wetter from the west and southwest as we go through this evening and night. so we'll see this spell of heavy rain moving in with strengthening winds as well, gales developing around southern and western coasts, and could be quite tricky travelling conditions across south wales and parts of southern england as we start the day tomorrow. those spots in the east that will start the day dry, it won't stay that way for very long because the rain is advancing further north and east. and once it gets into scotland, it's here we could see some disruption, maybe localflooding, in parts of aberdeenshire, angus, perth and kinross, for example. the rain will be accompanied by gusty winds. does clear from southwest scotland. northern ireland, largely dry and bright. wales and much of southern england drying up by the end of the afternoon, parts of the midlands too. there will be further gusty, blustery showers moving in here, although still on the mild side before those temperatures creep down even further as the week goes on. now, wednesday, a somewhat quieter day. still windy, especially in the northern isles. there'll be showers towards the south and west. many places will actually have a largely dry day on wednesday before the next spell of wet and windy weather speeds in from

the southwest later in the day. and that will track across the uk overnight into thursday. we'll have gales again around the english channel coast, north sea coasts for a time early thursday, and then quite stormy as this area of low pressure gets closer to the northern isles, especially into shetland, on thursday. behind that, blustery winds still across the uk, with sunshine and the chance for showers. as that area of low pressure pulls away for friday, it will be a quieter day. and as i mentioned at the start of the weekend, could be quite chilly with a touch of frost out there before further spells of wind and rain come our way as the weekend goes on. that's your latest forecast. bye—bye for now.

hello, i'm ros atkins. this is outside source. the uk will pay france millions of france for increased patrols on french beaches to prevent people crossing the channel in small bites. all smiles between president biden and the chinese leader xijinping as both leaders discussed the tensions between the two nations. also, the prime minister claims expected tax rises and spending cuts have already stabilised financial markets. the ukrainian president visits the southern city of kherson to celebrate its liberation after the withdrawal of russian troops.

hello, there, and welcome to bbc news. more now on the news that the home secretary suella braverman has signed a new agreement with france to reduce the number of migrants crossing the english channel in small bites. the uk will give france more money for increased patrols on french beaches, and for better surveillance, such as drones and night—vision equipment. so far this year, more than 40,000 people have made the crossing over the channel, the highest number on record. the conservative mp nicky atkins says that finally everything is being done to reduce the numbers crossing the channel in boats and to take on the channel in boats and to take on the people smugglers.

there is not a simple solution to this, it is multifaceted solution that we need, it's a global problem, the prime minister in bali is talking to his 620 counterparts about this and other issues. we can only resolve this global issue by working together and today's further partnership with france is a step forward. however, the shadow home secretary yvette cooper says the accord reached between the uk government and france today has been too slow. i think this agreement with france is long overdue, in terms of some of the measures in it around coastal patrols and intelligence sharing. clearly, that should have been happening sometime also much too limited and i still don't have enough action to tackle the criminal gangs that are making profit out of putting lives at risk.

we have called for much stronger action through the national crime agency, a big expansion in their work because you have to tackle the criminal smuggling and trafficking gangs because they underpin the dangerous boat crossings. a court has heard emotional evidence of the mother of baby boy alleged to have been murdered by a nurse. the woman is said to have walked into the room as the prosecution say lucy b's attack on her son was in progress. a warning that you may find some of the next 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 24 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 nurses�* 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. jeremy hunt says we will have eye

watering cuts and £10 million are set to be clawed back. —— 10 billion. our economics editor faisal islam explains some of the key issues facing the government. this is a very unusual chancellor statement, type of rescue budget after a massive energy shock, this is how big. in 2019, the uk as a whole is, companies and government, spent about £40 billion on its energy bill, and this year that is “p energy bill, and this year that is up fourfold to 190 billion. that increase is basically like having to fund another nhs. that cost cannot be shouldered by households and it is the government of max job 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 mistakes had been made and part of the reason i became prime minister was to address them and what we have seen now that stability has returned to the united kingdom,

and an acknowledgement of the balancing act between making numbers add up and not worsening the immediate recession. the global population is projected to hit a new all—time high tomorrow, reaching 8 billion people. the wealth of mac population has doubled in less than 50 years and is still rising. fergus walsh has more. our planet has never held so many people, as the era of huge population growth continues. back in 1800, there were around one billion people on earth and it took over a century for that to double. then it really took off in the 20th century, reaching three billion in 1960 and putting on nearly1 billion each decade after that. it reached seven billion in 2011. we're now set to hit eight billion people on the planet. so what about the future? the un projects they'll be nine billion people by around 2037,

and ten billion by 2058. 6lobal 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 two 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 6went police says any offices found to be sharing apparent messages could face criminal action, following reports that shocking sexist and racist concert —— content was found on a device owned by former officers. there has been a meeting to discuss the investigation. more now from correspondent hywel 6riffiths.

there is an independent investigation into the matter but the chief constable at 6went police has spent the afternoon meeting police and senate members to concern that share their concern. they say they feel reassured the forces trying to share their culture but it is only two months since two senior officers here were sacked for inappropriately touching a junior officer at a work event. there are some who say the events here and issues at the met 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 us was a's family say they have already lost trust in the police and they want to see these issues being brought to the wider public. he is one of the greatest footballers ever to have played the game but this time cristiano

ronaldo's opponent is his own club. he has lodged an extra ordinary attack on manchester united, saying he feels betrayed by the club and that it he feels betrayed by the club and thatitis he feels betrayed by the club and that it is trying to full him out. he was speaking on talktv. think of a footballer more famous than cristiano ronaldo. perhaps you can't. he returned to manchester united last season but the club's latest manager is building his team around others. ronaldo feels betrayal. around others. ronaldo feels betra al. ., , around others. ronaldo feels betra al. , ., , ., betrayal. people should listen to the truth. yes, _ betrayal. people should listen to the truth. yes, i _ betrayal. people should listen to the truth. yes, i feel _ betrayal. people should listen to the truth. yes, i feel betrayed, l betrayal. people should listen to i the truth. yes, ifeel betrayed, and ifelt the truth. yes, ifeel betrayed, and i felt that some people, they don't want me here 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 6arnacho, not cristiano ronaldo, and ultimately all players — even him — will be replaced. joe wilson, bbc news. now, how is this for a change of career? th now, how is this for a change of career? ii' ~ now, how is this for a change of career? ::' ~ _, , now, how is this for a change of career? ::' ~ , , career? in 2016, nico rosberg became forminu a career? in 2016, nico rosberg became forming a one — career? in 2016, nico rosberg became forming a one world _ career? in 2016, nico rosberg became forming a one world champion, - career? in 2016, nico rosberg became forming a one world champion, a - forming a one world champion, a sport healed by fossil fuels, he retired —— retired just days after anna describes himself as a sustainability entrepreneur. he is the co—founder of the green tech festival, which held events promoting green technology. and he is an investor in a number of environmentally focused companies. our reporter went to meet him and asked what prompted the transition from burning rubber to trying to save the planet? tt is

diabetes day. the charities diabetes uk are hoping to recruit 20,000 children aged between three and 13 years to take part. the bbc�*s to map it has back into one family that the impact the condition has on them. i have to count my cards and check my blood sugars. that i have to count my cards and check my blood sugars-— my blood sugars. that will sound familiar to _ my blood sugars. that will sound familiar to the _ my blood sugars. that will sound familiar to the people _ my blood sugars. that will sound familiar to the people in - my blood sugars. that will sound familiar to the people in uk - my blood sugars. that will sound familiar to the people in uk with | familiar to the people in uk with type one diabetes, a clean 23,000 children under 15. tt is type one diabetes, a clean 23,000 children under15._ children under 15. it is very full on, children under 15. it is very full on. libby _ children under 15. it is very full on, libby requires _ children under 15. it is very full on, libby requires a _ children under 15. it is very full on, libby requires a lot - children under 15. it is very full on, libby requires a lot of i children under 15. it is very full on, libby requires a lot of our| on, libby requires a lot of our attention, 24/7, it is through the night as well, and as soon as she gets up in the morning, we are on it, with insulin, making sure she has had it on time.— has had it on time. type one diabetes _ has had it on time. type one diabetes is _ has had it on time. type one diabetes is an _ has had it on time. type one diabetes is an autoimmune l has had it on time. type one - diabetes is an autoimmune condition in which the body's immune system attacks healthy cells in the

pancreas by mistake. it is not known why. it is different to type two diabetes, convex condition with many risk factors, including age, ethnicity, and weight. it has very much become part of our life now, but in the first two years, it really does shake everything up. it is totally life changing. type 1 diabetes leads to the levels of glucose, or sugar, in the blood becoming too high. that happens because the body is unable to produce insulin, a hormone that controls the levels of blood glucose. so those who have the condition, like libby, need to take insulin every day. that used to mean five daily injections, but libby can now get her insulin through a pump. this device talks to the pump she is wearing on her body at the moment. again, that is giving her an upfront dose of insulin. she needs it about 15 minutes before she eats. and what is it like to wear? good and bad. better than it used to be, i guess, having the injections? way better.

libby is six and was diagnosed three years ago, but, by then, she was already very unwell. undiagnosed or untreated, type 1 diabetes can lead to life—threatening complications. so diabetes uk and jdrf, another diabetes charity, are hoping to recruit 20,000 families to take part in a ground—breaking trial. we need a way to spot children who are at high risk of type 1 diabetes so that we can ensure they have a safe and supported diagnosis and also so we can offer them spaces on clinical trials that are testing cutting—edge new therapies. you are looking to recruit 20,000 children to take part in this programme, but you don't want them to have type 1 diabetes now, necessarily. you want anyone to sign up. exactly. by taking part in the trial, what families will find out about is whether their child is at high or low risk. 25% of people who are diagnosed are in a life—threatening situation that can be avoided if people

are diagnosed earlier. it would have helped us in the fact that libby would not have got so poorly and the shock would not have been as traumatic for us. at her school, staff can monitor libby's blood sugar levels and administer insulin if necessary. we know then that she has the correct amount of insulin in her bloodstream ready for when she has her lunch in about 20 minutes. she has the right amount. as soon as she finishes school, i need to take her blood sugars and, if she is high, i will give her the correction dose of insulinjust bring the blood sugars down. i would love people to know how much they deal with. they wear devices 24/7. even that in itself is a huge thing. and to have those changed every three days, it is a lot for them. and they do feel different from their friends.

so just for people to be kind to them and know that they are going through a lot. sometimes, it is easy and, sometimes, it is hard. it is hoped the new trial could transform the diagnosis and management of type 1 diabetes. but, for now, even with improved technology, it remains a life—changing condition. tim muffett, bbc news, st helens in merseyside. the clothing groupjules has announced it is calling in administrations after failing to secure emergency investment, putting around 1600 jobs at risk. the leicestershire —based company started selling colourful shows at country shows. the founder says he hopes restructuring the business

you are giving them away. as long as you've got it, you are holding onto a piece of them. i feel it is the right thing, to pass on paul's legacy. and paul daniels himself was a collector of magical memorabilia. these are bits of ephemera, old postcard photographs of things like this, a levitation, probably from the 1800s. they are all of famous magicians. and then this is paul's toupee. this is a circle, a triangle and a square. but the biggest draw will be the stage props. remember this? paul would open the box and i would get inside. this looks very tight. it is. 0h! i do not think i will be a magician's assistant. you would have your hands shackled in there. you would have your freet shackled down there. and then he would close the door. can i close the door on you? my goodness. i have locked him in.

bye! i am never going to use it again. people say, don't say that, debbie. but i stopped doing illusions with paul probably 20 years ago. when the collection comes up for sale in a few weeks, the hope is — as paul daniels never quite said — that the public will like it, every single lot. paul daniels is seminal. he is the most important british late 20th—century magician full stop. he brought it to the masses. no other magician has done that in the history of magic within britain. if the big collectors came and said when you are ready, we are happy to buy anything. but i didn't want that, i wanted it to be spread out so lots of people can enjoy it. paul daniels was inspired by previous generations of magicians. now, perhaps, he will

inspire future stars, too. the king is celebrating his 74th birthday, his first as monarch. a new portrait has been released of charles standing beside an ancient oak tree in windsor to mark his appointment as arranger of the park. there were no public engagements planned for the king today and he was expected to mark the occasion privately. let's catch up with the weather, here is nick miller. hello. one spell of rain is spreading eastwards across the uk. this is a very narrow band and it's turning increasingly light and patchy as it moves on through, through the rest of the evening and overnight. clearly more substantial rain heading into northern ireland as the evening goes on and across many areas by morning, away from the far east of scotland and down the eastern side of england. along with the rain, strengthening winds, gales developing around some southern and western coasts. could be tricky travel conditions for parts of wales and southern england to begin the day and developing in scotland. once the rain sets in, it will last for several hours here, accompanied by gusty winds at times, clearing for much of

southwest scotland. northern ireland, largely dry and bright. for wales, the midlands, southern england, turning drier here. there will be further blustery showers moving in. so the rain still around northeast scotland as tuesday comes to an end and into the northern isles, where it'll be windy going on into wednesday. and a further spell of wet and windy weather sweeping northwards overnight wednesday and into thursday. that's your forecast.
