and the bbc hears from michelle 0bama, who reveals the pain she felt when donald trump replaced her husband in the white house. and it still hurts. but that's that point in time when you have to ask yourself, "was it worth it?" hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. the g20 has kicked off on the indonesian island of bali, where global leaders are discussing issues such as food security, debt relief — and the war in ukraine. ukraine president volodymyr zelensky addressed the summit, where he called for russia's "destructive war" to end.

mr zelensky addressed leaders including china's xijinping and president biden in a video link, here's some of what he said. translation: i want this aggressive russian war to end justly _ and on the basis of the un charter and international law. ukraine should not be offered to conclude compromises with its conscience, sovereignty, territory and independence. we respect the rules and we are people of our word. ukraine has always been a leader in peacekeeping efforts and the world has witnessed it, and if russia says that it supposedly wants to end this war, let it prove it with actions. apparently one cannot trust russia's words, and there would be no minsk three, which russia would violate immediately after signing. rishi sunak is at the g20 summit in bali. well, this morning at the g20 we saw international condemnation of russia's war in ukraine.

and with russian foreign minister sitting there, we highlighted both the illegality and the barbaric nature of russia's war. and also the devastating impact it is having on people around the world through higher food and energy prices. we have a responsibility to work with our g20 allies to fix the global economy, to grip inflation but also to safeguard and preserve the international order and that is what we are going to do. sebastian payne, from the financial times newspaper, is in bali and is travelling alongside rishi sunak. good to see you, thank you for joining us. harsh language from rishi sunakfor joining us. harsh language from rishi sunak for russia stop less harsh language for china, interestingly, a bit like that meeting between president by dean and president xijingping meeting between president by dean and president xi jingping yesterday. —— president biden. rishi sunak changing the wording of something he said in his election campaign earlier this year, no longer calling china a systemic threat but rather a systemic challenge. if you look at

the occasion that the g20 5, bit like a chess game, is this the uk, as well as other countries trying to encourage china to develop more of an interest in pulling away slightly from russia, its support for russia? i think the russian comments were not unexpected, and downing street put out a photograph of rishi sunak glowering at the russian foreign minister across that g20 meeting and in his comments to that opening session this morning on bally, mr sunak said it was very notable russia wasn't here and said if they were here, they could be held to account and what they have said, not the back of these international summits we often get a communique that sets out with all the countries think and we have a draft version of that communique at the financial times that says it will condemn war across the piece, it will be interesting to see if that happens because china and russia don't have the same views as many of the other 620 the same views as many of the other g20 members on the ukraine situation. the china comments by

rishi sunak are fascinating because if you think back to liz truss' brief them and downing street, she wanted to designate china threat, borisjohnson wanted to designate china threat, boris johnson called wanted to designate china threat, borisjohnson called it a systemic challenge and that is essentially the language we have come back to. it feels everyone is focused on the big questions about the economy, growth, about trading relations, a you've heard from mr rishi sunak, he told reporters on the travelling press back you cannot ignore china, it is there, and if you want to look at climate change, they bounce back of the economy from covid, inflation as well, you can do that without china. he same we've got the national security act and many other things to ensure china isn't sort of getting into a difficult place for critical infrastructure, but is definitely a suffering from the list truss aid and potentially even a softening from the borisjohnson era as well, so that is something to watch as the sum continues tomorrow. after a turbulent time in uk

politics, how important is the summit for rishi sunak and the image of the uk? he summit for rishi sunak and the image of the uk? , .,, ., , ., of the uk? he is obvious to 'etting back to the — of the uk? he is obvious to 'etting back to the ux * of the uk? he is obvious to 'etting back to the uk for h of the uk? he is obvious to 'etting back to the uk for the h of the uk? he is obvious to jetting back to the uk for the autumn - back to the uk for the autumn statement on thursday, that is going to be the event that will make or break as premiership, thread through the eye of the needle in terms of tax rises, spending cuts, keeping tory mps in sight, keeping the markets happy, and also not crashing us further into a recession. that's going to be very difficult, so that is the number one facing mr sunak at the moment, but this summer is one of his first big global events, he went to the cop summit in egypt last week, a very brief exchange, but now he is really getting a much more intense run of diplomacy, meeting presidentjoe biden for a bilateral meeting on wednesday, the first one to one meeting they have had. he is meeting the australian prime minister, has met the canadian prime minister, has met the canadian prime minister, has met the canadian prime minister, has met the crown prince of saudi arabia, so very much rishi sunak introducing himself to the world stage, and others are quite

different character to liz truss and a very different character to boris johnson, supreme prevalent is about establishing those values and the values he's been trying to put out at the summit have all been about economic repair. what i'm doing at home in terms of getting market confidence and stability are exactly what other g20 countries need to do, a all meeting for supper tonight and i'm sure that's what they will be discussing. i'm sure that's what they will be discussing-— i'm sure that's what they will be discussinu. ., ~ , ., , . voters in arizona have chosen a democrat as their new governor, defeating a trump—backed candidate. katie hobbs is projected to have beaten kari lake, a high— profile supporter of donald trump and denier of the 2020 election result. arizona is regarded as a battleground state and is expected to play an important role in the next presidential electon in 202a. let's talk to cbs correspondent elise preston who's in new york.

she said she'd only accept the result if she won it — have we had her reaction to the defeat? she is not conceding the race, she actually tweeted just hours ago that quote arizona people no ps when they see it. so she has not accepted the loss as of yet and this is something she said she would not do if she did in fact loose, and she said she would not do if she did infact loose, and in she said she would not do if she did in fact loose, and in the days of the votes were counted, she even called an election official saying arizona plasma 's collections were rife with fraud. 0f arizona plasma 's collections were rife with fraud. of course, election officials, also republicans fought back saying that was not true. it is something we will continue to watch moving forward. the race was called to just hours ago, moving forward. the race was called tojust hours ago, and as of moving forward. the race was called to just hours ago, and as of yet, kari lake has not conceded the race. how important is this one for the democrats? what might it mean for the special announcement, as he has

called it, that donald trump said he would be making today? this election result boisterous one of many that. result boisterous one of many that did not turn in favour of republicans, it actually leaned towards the democrats, republicans were hoping they were touting for a huge red wave and that did not happen this midterm result. some republicans now calling out donald trump, they are distancing themselves from him, because kari lake yet again a huge donald trump support to an election denier and the majority of those candidates were lost in the the country, some republicans also saying that the republicans also saying that the republican party as they know it now dead. moving forward, the republican party, a lot of people are asking if donald trump is the right person for thejob, for the ticket donald trump is the right person for the job, for the ticket in 202a. today he is expected to make an announcement, a bit for his presidency this next election cycle. that will happen at his resort

tonight, and this comes also as his former president, former vice president, might pounce, is releasing a memoir today where he is expected to criticise his former bossin expected to criticise his former boss in that book. —— mike pence. the latest figures show a rise in unemployment within the uk workforce for the three months to september. unemployment now stands at around three—point—six percent, that's up from three—point—five percent in august. although this does remain at a near 50 year low. regular pay is increasing too, by around 5.7 percent in the year to september. but, when adjusted for rising prices, wages fell by 2.7 percent. let's get more on this now with our employment correspondent, zoe conway, who's at eastgate indoor market in gloucester for us. what have people been saying? hill we are here at the market as part of the bbc�*s cost of living tackling

the insecurity is more complicated. a real sense of insecurity there. throw in the final bit which is lots and lots of households with limited savings, up to about a third, essentially no savings in britain so this is a real source of insecurity for many people. the second part of that statement from the chancellor, he talked about a low unemployment rate, being testament to the resilience of the british economy. to what extent does low unemployment equal resilience? this has been the challenge since the financial crisis all the way back in 2008, where historically you would think if they had had a big shock like that, you would expect... unemployment to continue a long time, that did not happen, what happened in britain was we had a spike in unemployment, and quite low paid jobs coming through.

what we have now is lots of people employed, this is true, but they are employed in jobs they may not want very much, not well paid, insecurity arriving, it was mentioned by the correspondant there, the inactivity rate and all those people who are not unemployed, the labour market is now reaching record levels. it has gone up significantly since the pandemic, it is not entirely clear what is going on there, but some people talk about how it is the impact about how it is the impact of long—covid, people being discouraged of working and lots of different factors coming into play. another source of potential insecurity for people. from your perspective, you're seeing something different? from your perspective, you're saying something different?

that's right, the issue of the inflation we have is this is coming from the rest of the world, from russian invading ukraine, the impact on natural gas price already going up, the food price rises we have seen across the globe, the impact of zero covid policy in china all pushing up prices of stuff we buy from the rest of the world into britain. that is where inflation is coming from. at that point, what government does to the economy, to its borrowing doesn't affect inflation very much because of deal with this is trying to cut wages, pensions, benefits need to increase. potentially government can step in and try to directly intervene on price rises. already on the front line of climate change, somalia is enduring its worst drought in a0 years. and the presence of one of the deadliest islamist extremist groups, al shabab, complicates the distribution of aid. the united nations is warning that half a million children under

the age of five are at risk of dying by the middle of next year. somalia urgently needs another billion dollars in humanitarian aid. six weeks ago we brought you andrew harding's first report from the town of baidoa — he's now returned there, to the heart of the crisis, and a warning, you may find some of the images in his report distressing. tearing through, our guard driving faster than our last visit, the threat of ambitious by islamist militants growing here. suddenly we stumble across a funeral for a six—year—old boy who has starved to death yesterday. 11 more children were buried here this week. but it is one particular family that has drawn us back to a desolate camp on the edge of town. this woman is

eating breakfast for her children, a cup of tea, they will eat later in the day. nice to see you again. we“ve returned to see how the family is coping. hi, dahir, how are you? this was dahir six weeks ago, mourning his younger brother salat, who died of hunger on the journey into baidoa. today, he's in good spirits. is milian feeling hot? but his two sisters are now struggling. they have suspected measles, perhaps pneumonia, too — the illnesses that seem to feast on hunger. and which lead so often to this. in a nearby hospital, two—year—old naima looks like a burn victim. in fact, her body is reacting painfully to prolonged starvation. as on our visit last month, the ward

here is still full of such cases. does it feel to you like the world is paying attention now to somalia? now we can say that the attention of the international community is on somalia, especially the drought here. so you're getting more aid because of that? we are not getting enough, but we hope to come soon. it's a desperate situation. back at the camp, 11—year—old dahir is heading to school. he“s bright, alert. 0ur presence may be part of that. but around him, listless children and a chorus of coughing. the teacher tells us most of his class struggle to attend or to focus. many here will be stunted for life. across the road, a sudden crowd. a mood of near panic, as frustrated mothers try to register

for new food hand—outs. but there's not enough. it“s overwhelming. we are not getting the resources on time with adequate also amounts. so you're only getting half what you need, is that right? that's exactly the right picture. we are getting half of what we want. later in the day, fatuma hauls water home for her children. dahir is quick to help out. "i'm getting by," she says. “'but my children are not well." “'i must work to make sure they survive." somalia is struggling right now, but it's worth remembering that before this last drought, dahir and his family were doing 0k. they had fields and crops. they had six cows and some goats. they were middle class farmers, suddenly left destitute,

bankrupted by drought, by climate change. inside their hut, the girls slump. do you worry about yoursisters, dahir? yeah. "yeah, yes," he says. what do you worry about? we are straying here towards painful memories of dahir“s brother. “'i just want my sisters to get better." he says it three times. an exhausted fatuma joins her daughters on their blanket. 0ne family in a nation still overwhelmed by hunger. andrew harding, bbc news, somalia. ukraine's senior military commander has told his us counterpart that ukrainian soldiers are determined to liberate all occupied

lands — and won't accept compromises with russia. last week general mark milley — who's the chairman of the us joint chiefs of staff — suggested it might be time to negotiate an end to the war with russia. 0ur correspondent catherine byaruhanga has the latest from kyiv. ukraine is definitely setting out its position over talks about possible negotiations between ukraine and russia. yesterday, ukraine's army chief was speaking to his us counterpart and in that conversation, after that conversation, he said he told the general that ukraine's servicemen accept no talks, no agreements and no compromise decisions. this is after the general had suggested that perhaps a winter which is a difficult time to continue fighting might be the right time to start thinking about negotiations with russia. ukraine did not take those words kindly, and president zelensky is still here in kyiv, but addressing leaders in bali, making similar

suggestions. he said this war must come to an end, but he said ukraine should not have to compromise over its territorial integrity, its sovereignty, and its conscience. again, ukraine setting out its position. it is interesting that in recent days, we have been hearing about possible us pressure on ukraine to start thinking about negotiations. yesterday, the head of the cia was meeting his russian counterpart in turkey. the us said it is not trying to find ways of kick—starting negotiations with ukraine and that meeting was simply about trying to prevent russia from using a nuclear weapon in this war. once again, we are seeing movement, discussions about possible negotiations between russia and ukraine. it is difficult to see how russia would accept such agreements, would meet such

demands from ukraine. ukraine insisted that russia should move all its troops out of the country, something that would be very difficult for russia to agree to. it sounds as though president zelensky is looking for reassurance from other world leaders to say we will back you. we will back what you want to do. the g20 summit is a difficult forum for ukraine because although you have western countries like the uk and the us that support ukraine, you do have other countries that are hesitant, especially countries in the southeast asia region, indonesia, even china itself that still maintain strong relationships with russia. we do still have russia represented at the summit with its foreign minister sergey lavrov who is due to address the summit. it is a difficult

platform, a difficult summitfor ukraine. nevertheless, the uk, the us, standing firmly behind ukraine. they continue to pledge military assistance, humanitarian assistance, they will still help ukraine in its fight against russian aggression. the uk health secretary, steve barclay, will hold talks with union leaders today, with the growing prospect of further strikes by nhs workers. the royal college of nursing announced last week that many of its members had voted to walk out in a dispute over pay and staff shortages. 0ther unions are carrying out ballots. it“s understood today's meeting will be focused on workforce issues in england. nhs providers is the membership organisation for nhs trusts in england. its interim chief executive, saffron cordery, told us a deal must be found to head off strikes before the onset of winter.

we totally understand the frustration that nurses and other health care staff are feeling, we've got rising cost of living, increased pressure on the front line, so we do see the challenges there. i am really delighted that the secretary of state and the royal college of nursing coming round the table today, because the critical thing is, for patients and for staff indeed, is that we actually resolve this dispute and seek to move on. that is the most important element here, trusts are doing everything they can to manage the existing demand across the nhs, and indeed to prepare for any industrial action. they will be ready for this, what they would like to see is resolution. joining us now is ben zaranko, a senior research economist at the uk“s leading economic research group the institute for fiscal studies, who have released a new report today. it reveals hospitals are carrying out fewer appointments

size of the nhs waiting lists is unlikely to start falling in the near future.— unlikely to start falling in the near future. ., ., ., , ., , near future. you mention more staff, but re near future. you mention more staff, but pretty much _ near future. you mention more staff, but pretty much every _ near future. you mention more staff, but pretty much every interview - near future. you mention more staff, but pretty much every interview i - but pretty much every interview i have done in recent weeks and months with people working in the health sector, they say that they don't have enough staff, that they are stretched to the limit. i have enough staff, that they are stretched to the limit.— stretched to the limit. i don't think anybody _ stretched to the limit. i don't think anybody doubts - stretched to the limit. i don't think anybody doubts that, l stretched to the limit. i don't think anybody doubts that, i | stretched to the limit. i don't - think anybody doubts that, i think there's two separate questions here, one is has the nhs got more staff thanit one is has the nhs got more staff than it did a few years ago? yes, the answer is undoubtedly yes, they do. but a separate question about is that enough to deal with the demand they are facing? it is certainly true there are staffing shortages across the nhs, certainly true that the skill mix, we“ve across the nhs, certainly true that the skill mix, we've lost lots of experienced staff members in the health service and perhaps replace them with people with a bit less experience and that might be affecting productivity of some teams, too. ithink affecting productivity of some teams, too. i think we can have a debate about how many staff we ought to have, but we have to also recognise we do have more than we did a few years ago. that

recognise we do have more than we did a few years ago.— did a few years ago. that is the context, against _ did a few years ago. that is the context, against a _ did a few years ago. that is the context, against a backdrop - did a few years ago. that is the context, against a backdrop of| context, against a backdrop of rising demand and the covid backlog you“ve alluded to. and all of this is the backdrop to the talks are going to take place today between the health secretary and union representatives. talking to nurses who had voted to strike last week, they all said they were concerned about pay, but they are concerned about pay, but they are concerned about the impact on patients. yet, the two side seam for the poor and what they think is the appropriate reward for the job that they do. —— seem far apart. the setting the scene for a very difficult winter? if these strikes go ahead we expect emergency care to be protected but we could see delayed or cancelled operations, similar to what happened a few years ago. if it is only a couple of days, it is not going to be a huge effect on the grand scheme of things but it would make it a little bit worse in terms of waiting lists. but we cannot disentangle the

dispute about pay from the chancer“s decision in the autumn statement last week. the challenge of the nhs it has a cash budget and has been asked to give a higher—than—expected pay award this year, 5% rather than two or 3% with no extra money, and looking ahead, the government is reluctant to provide extra cash to the nhs and other public services, and that means that pay is going to be squeezed further. this round of strikes this winter could be the first of many to come and i think unless we address the underlying question of resources and funding available, we will see continuing staffing disputes and that is not going to make it any easier to reach the nhs objectives. haste going to make it any easier to reach the nhs objectives.— the nhs ob'ectives. have we gone be ond the nhs objectives. have we gone beyond efficiency _ the nhs objectives. have we gone beyond efficiency in _ the nhs objectives. have we gone beyond efficiency in hospitals? - the nhs objectives. have we gone l beyond efficiency in hospitals? have all efficiencies been made where possible to make them and does that in the grand scheme of things make any difference to getting more appointments delivered to patients carrying out more operations, two

efficiency is absolutely important, and i think there is always efficiencies that can be made and always improvements in the way services are delivered. the nhs spends a lot of time and effort thinking about how it can incorporate digital transformation incorporate digital transformation in how we receive our health care services. it is important to recognise that here, the nhs is already being asked to make major efficiencies in the form of making savings so they can stay within their budgets while spending more on pay, while having to face higher energy bills, higherfood bills, higher petrol bills for ambulances. they are already being more efficient for the next budget. thinking we can make all these problems go away by magical efficiency savings is wishful thinking. there is debate to be had about how productive the nhs is and how that could be improved further but we cannot wave our hands and make the nhs more efficient than

over this, together and work on a plan to get overthis, get together and work on a plan to get over this, get through this difficult period, get the nhs, get the waiting list down, some people who are too sick to work in better health, that is good for the economy, there is a really important policy question here that needs addressing, and that may mean more resources and more funding butjust as important as how they are spent on making sure they are spent well. thank you very much. the war in ukraine is at the top of the agenda in the g20 summit of the world's leading economies in bali. earlier, i spoke to professor stefan wolff, professor of international security at the university of birmingham. i asked him whether anything said by world leaders would make a difference to russia's actions. the key issue is china. russia will not in favour of a statement that will condemn the war in ukraine, the keyissueis will condemn the war in ukraine, the key issue is how far china is willing to go in order to

accommodate the best very strong opposition to this russian aggression. the closer that china gets to the rest in possession, the more difficult it will be ultimately for vladimir putin to continue the that he has conducted since february this year. to that end we saw yesterday when president biden and president xijinping, a softening of the language in public. also rishi sunak, the prime minister, moving away from the rhetoric he used on china during his campaign trail. no longer talking of china as a systemic threat but rather a systemic threat but rather a systemic challenge. do you think as other countries recalibrate their language around the relationship with china, that might lead china to recalibrate its relationship with russia at least in terms of its support for russia as this war continues?—

support for russia as this war continues? . , , s ., , continues? absolutely. we are seeing a iive and continues? absolutely. we are seeing a give and take _ continues? absolutely. we are seeing a give and take here _ continues? absolutely. we are seeing a give and take here on _ continues? absolutely. we are seeing a give and take here on the _ continues? absolutely. we are seeing a give and take here on the chinese . a give and take here on the chinese and us side, clearly yesterday the meeting between xi jinping and and us side, clearly yesterday the meeting between xijinping and biden was constructive and reiterated the commitment of both sides to seek cooperation by acknowledging that there are clear differences between their outlooks on the world. i think that will be a key factor also in terms of how china is looking at russia and putin in particular. 0ne russia and putin in particular. one of the key takeaways from the biden and xijinping meeting and the meetings he had with the australian prime minister and the french president, the german chancellor's visit to beijing a couple of weeks ago, all of that indicates that now we have clearly a china us world, and russia has become a problem for both of them that they need to manage rather than accommodate. i

would expect a slightly harder line of china in public and probably more pressure from beijing on moscow in private. pressure from bei'ing on moscow in -rivate. ., ., , , private. how important is the summit for rishi sunak _ private. how important is the summit for rishi sunak representing - private. how important is the summit for rishi sunak representing the - private. how important is the summit for rishi sunak representing the uk i for rishi sunak representing the uk after a turbulent time in politics here? i after a turbulent time in politics here? ~ , , after a turbulent time in politics here? ~' , , ., here? i think it is very important for rishi sunak _ here? i think it is very important for rishi sunak to _ here? i think it is very important for rishi sunak to send - here? i think it is very important for rishi sunak to send a - here? i think it is very important i for rishi sunak to send a message that the uk is back as a serious global player which has a stable domestic government so i think we have had too much turbulence and too much upheaval economically, politically in the uk. that makes it difficult because the uk remains a key player in the rest of the alliance, in particular in nature. the special transatlantic relationship and so on, from that perspective, this is a really key moment for rishi sunak“s

named the world's seven billionth baby by the un. 11 years later, the world's population has hit 8 billion. bangladesh where she lives has 17 million more people and it is still growing. but the number of children women are having here has fallen from six in the 19805 to two today thanks to girls“ education. bangladesh now has to harness the potential of its young

educated people like oshi. the world's population is still growing, but in a lot of places, it is not too many people that they are worried about but too few. here in bosnia—herzegovina the population is already declining because of low fertility and emigration, it is set to half in the next 15 years. in 1999, this man was named the world's 6 billionth baby by then, un secretary—general kofi annan.

at 23, he is an economics graduate but he is looking for work and worried he might have to go abroad. this could become the norm as global population growth slows down over the next 60 years. it is likely to peak around 10 billion by 2080 according to the un. well, stephanie hegarty joins me now. good question, how will our planet cope? a lot of people have got in touch asking how authorities know

your child is the 6,000,000,000th or the 7,000,000,000th. how do they work that out?— the 7,000,000,000th. how do they work that out? well, they don't know exactl , a work that out? well, they don't know exactly. a lot — work that out? well, they don't know exactly. a lot of— work that out? well, they don't know exactly, a lot of work _ work that out? well, they don't know exactly, a lot of work goes _ exactly, a lot of work goes into these projections and calculations of the global population, so some of it is based on census that data where we have that but even in the uk it can be off by 1% as imaginal error. a lot of countries do not have census, the supplement that with projections, the fertility data from surveys, they ask how many children people had, how long they lived, how many survived, and then a look at mortality data as well. it is a really complex calculation of all this different data. the pool it in together to come up with a number. ~ ., ., ~ in together to come up with a number. . ., ., ,, ., .,, number. we are talking about vast numbers, number. we are talking about vast numbers. what— number. we are talking about vast numbers, what is _ number. we are talking about vast numbers, what is the _ number. we are talking about vast numbers, what is the rate - number. we are talking about vast numbers, what is the rate of - numbers, what is the rate of population growth? is it going up or down? it population growth? is it going up or down? , , ., ., ., , population growth? is it going up or down? , , ., ., .,, ., population growth? is it going up or down? , , ., ., ., ., down? it is slowing and has done for the -ast down? it is slowing and has done for the past few — down? it is slowing and has done for the past few decades. _ down? it is slowing and has done for the past few decades. the _ down? it is slowing and has done for| the past few decades. the population is still growing but the rate of growth is slowing down. that means

they are going to be thinking about they are going to be thinking about the climate crises, other factors that cause great shifts in population, that because refugees effectively to leave one country to want to go somewhere else. what the impact is for the countries they leave behind, what the impact is for the countries that they want to go to. lots of big questions to be considered as a result of this data. one of the troubling things is a lot of the growth will happen in areas that are more affected by climate change and will be even further affected by climate change, around the region and africa where they are seeing this certification and problems accessing water. those countries will be really concerned about rapid growth. 0n the other end of the scale, there are a lot of places that are worried about population decline, they are not having many children, the population is getting older. last week, there was a conference in south korea where the average rate of children per woman is less than one. lots of governments travel to south korea from around the world from places

like botswana, brazil, costa rica, because they're worried about ageing population. they are worried about the amount of money to go into the budget and they will not be able to pay for pensions, they will not be able to pay for care for older people, on both sides, you have got problems and really different situations in different parts of the world. �* , situations in different parts of the world. . , , ., ., world. and the big question at the end of your _ world. and the big question at the end of your report, _ world. and the big question at the end of your report, how _ world. and the big question at the end of your report, how will - world. and the big question at the end of your report, how will the i end of your report, how will the planet cope with this number of people? resources are finite, aren't they? people? resources are finite, aren't the ? , , ., ., ., they? yes, but we have managed so far with 8 billion, _ they? yes, but we have managed so far with 8 billion, and _ they? yes, but we have managed so far with 8 billion, and another- they? yes, but we have managed so far with 8 billion, and another 2 - far with 8 billion, and another 2 billion, is that really going to push us over the edge? it is hard to know about what we do know is where this growth is is not happening in the west, in countries like the us which has a really high carbon output per capita, it is growing in places where people consume a lot less, that kind of offsets the impact that

the district of dhanusha is in nepal's south east, a remote and rural landscape. here, almost everyone relies on agriculture to make a living. in the years since the world cup was awarded to qatar, hundreds of thousands of young men have left this district to find work there. unil“s uncle was one of those who went. but he recently died in a workplace accident in qatar. translation: many people go to qatar as labourers. - even after studying things like computer science. there, they are suffering. my uncle also went there as a labourer. if he had known this could have happened, he would never have gone. this man feels the same. four years ago, his son left for a job in qatar, sending whatever he earned back to his family. last month, they received a call

from one of his friends in the gulf. he had been killed underground while working on an infrastructure project as doha readies itself for the world cup. translation: we got a call from our family friend i in qatar who told us he had died while working. we have not received any compensation. we just got the dead body and nothing else. we contacted the company sadesh worked for, but they didn't respond. it is notjust from here in nepal, across south asia, hundreds of thousands of people have left for work in qatar. world cup infrastructure projects have created many more jobs to go to, but have also led to more stories of poor working conditions and lack of safety measures. qatar's government says its efforts have led to significant improvements in standards and that it remains committed to the health, safety and dignity of everyone working on its projects.

sadeesh worked in qatar in 2016 on a construction project linked to the world cup. but within weeks, he was badly injured in a workplace accident. now, he is unable to walk without a stick. he says he is yet to see a single penny in compensation but was concerned about safety from day one. translation: we had to go up and down in the man lift. i i feared i would fall down while working at such great heights or even die. the project that sadeesh was working on told us they can't comment on individual cases, but that any incident that happens on their site is fully investigated. but for many in south asia who left for qatar from these areas, the opportunities the run—up to the world cup offered turned into tragedy

instead of triumph. let's get some of the day's other news. kurdish groups in turkey and syria have denied being behind the bomb attack that killed six people in istanbul on sunday. two organisations —— the pkk and the sdf —— said they didn't play any role in the explosion, which happened on a busy shopping street. the turkish authorities say kurdish miltants were to blame. police have arrested the woman suspected of planting a bomb. more than 200 flood rescue operations have been carried out over the past 2a hours in the southeast of australia. it's the fourth major flood crisis so far this year. officials in new south wales say hundreds of residents were rescued by helicopter and boat. translation: we had to go up and down in the man lift. i rivers rose rapidly on tuesday, cutting off entire towns and inundating houses, highways, bridges and farms. the american comedian, jay leno, has said he's “'0k“' after being burned in a fire.

the seventy two year old was taken to hospital on sunday after one of his cars burst into flames inside his garage. the former talk show host said he'd suffered serious burns but was now in stable condition. michelle 0bama has spoken to the bbc about how she struggles with negative thoughts about her appearance. in her new book, the former us first lady also reveals how donald trump's victory — winning the us presidency — “still hurts“. she was speaking exclusively to naga munchetty. but that's that point in time when you have to ask yourself, “'was it worth it? did we make a dent? did it matter?" and when i'm in my darkest moment, right, my most irrational place, i could say, “'well, maybe not. maybe we weren't good enough." yet the world we're in today here in the uk and in the united states has become more and more polarised, particularly when it comes to politics. people seem divided. they seem angry.

what, in your opinion, is needed to bring people back together, to let them have pleasant discourse, agreeable disagreements on a middle ground? well, leadership matters. the voices at the top matter. if we continue to be susceptible to voices that want to lead by fear and division, we will follow suit. that's why government matters. democracy matters, voting matters. so i think it starts with having leadership that reflects the direction that we want to go in as a people. one of the biggest challenges you refer to when you talk about fear, you say, “'the most anxious i've ever been in my life was when barack 0bama told me for the first time that he wanted to run for president of the united states. “'and it's strange that i could have altered the course of history with my fear." you know, you could have said no.

you know you had that option and it would have stood. are you pleased you said yes? iam. i think, to take a moment to talk about the man that i love, i think that barack was a consequential leader. i think, you know, for so many young people, notjust here in america, but around the world, they grew up knowing only a black president, an african—american family in the white house. they saw themselves in one of the most powerful positions on earth. if you just count that alone, not to mention all of his accomplishments from a policy perspective, it was absolutely worth taking that leap of faith. michelle's book “the light we carry“ is out today. if you regularly practice yoga, you'll be familiar with the "downward dog" pose. but now there's a trend that gives the phrase a whole new meaning.

teachers say bringing dogs into classes is beneficial for both humans and the canines taking part. molly brewer reports. and when we are lying down, do be prepared, they probably will come and jump on your face, nibble your ears and your toes, so be prepared for all the puppy love. yoga but with a fluffy twist, with literal downward facing dogs. the puppies just run around. as you can see, theyjust make everyone so happy. and i always tell people at the start of the classes, feel free to join in if and when. if you want to sit with the dogs the whole time, feel free to do so. this unique practice is a combination of animal therapy and yoga, which aims to help with anxiety and stress. not everyone has access to pets and animals. especially people like students, who might be away for uni and might be missing their pets. so it has great mental

health benefits well. it really helps with the puppies' socialisation process, so it helps puppies get used to being around people, being in a new environment, before they go to their new home. but being puppies with still a lot to learn, there's always a risk of a few accidents. but people here say that is a small price to pay. anyone who's had a dog or a puppy knows that they will wee or they will bark sometimes. there is an understanding, yeah. it isjust really nice, - it brings you all the serotonin and good vibes and the puppies are so adorable. _ she is a big dog fan. yes~ _ this is a dream come true! seriously. i have been stealing puppies all session. molly brewer, bbc news. a missing dog has handed herself into a police station in leicestershire in england after getting lost. rosie the border collie became separated from her owner after being spooked

english channel very dusty and later across shetland we could have lost much as 16 miles an hour —— 60 mph. temperatures, 11 to 1a celsius but tempered by the wind and the rain. this evening and overnight, the ring pulls out of northern england, crosses scotland pushing into the north—east, still gusty here. behind it, clearskies, quite a north—east, still gusty here. behind it, clear skies, quite a few showers, in the south—west, heavy and thundery, temperatures lower than last night, especially in glens of scotland and northern england. tomorrow, sunshine and bright spells and showers. showers feeding through the day, you will notice the cloud building and the arrival of rain coming into the south—west. strengthening winds here too. courtesy of the low pressure which during wednesday and thursday crosses us with rain spiralling around so is wheeze of isobars in southern england and the squeeze on

the isobars in thursday in the north sea. here it is on thursday, low pressure moving the rain around, pushing north, behind that a mixture of sunshine and also showers. windy in the north sea, gusty through the english channel, 9 degrees in lerwick to 13 degrees as we push south. into friday, on friday, the rain clears northern scotland, a ridge of high pressure, it will be dry, still a few showers and on saturday, once again, we are looking at rain coming in later to the west.

this is bbc news. the headlines at 11... rishi sunak criticises russia's "barbaric" war in ukraine, as the g20 gets under way in bali. president zelensky addresses world leaders. translation: i am convinced now is the time when the russian i destructive war must and can be stopped. with russia's foreign minister sitting there, we highlighted both the illegality and barbaric nature of russia's war. as uk unemployment rises slightly in the three months to september, regular pay falls, due to the cost of living crisis. the health secretary will speak to union bosses today, amid the growing prospect of strike action by nhs workers this winter. a global milestone, as the world's population passes 8 billion people.

and the bbc hears from michelle 0bama, who reveals the pain she felt when donald trump replaced her husband in the white house. and it still hurts. but that's that point in time when you have to ask - yourself, "was it worth it?" president zelensky has told g20 leaders meeting in indonesia that russia's war against ukraine can and must be stopped. he called for russia to withdraw from ukraine and pay reparations. a draught communique circulating at the summit deplores the impact of moscow's invasion of ukraine, and calls the use of nuclear weapons inadmissible.

leaders have also voiced deep concern over the challenges posed to global food security by the war. mr zelensky told the summit in bali that ukraine shouldn't be pressured into negotiating with moscow. translation: i want this aggressive russian war to end justly _ and on the basis of the un charter and international law. ukraine should not be offered to conclude compromises with its conscience, sovereignty, territory and independence. we respect the rules and we are people of our word. ukraine has always been a leader in peacekeeping efforts and the world has witnessed it, and if russia says that it supposedly wants to end this war, let it prove it with actions. apparently, one cannot trust russia's words, and there would be no minsk three, which russia would violate immediately after signing. opening the meeting, the host, presidentjoko widodo, warned that the war in ukraine was impacting food, energy

and financial security. he said it would be difficult to move forward until it was over. translation: we are facing crisis after crisis. _ the covid—19 pandemic has not ended. rivalries continue to heighten. the war continues. and the impact of this crisis towards food security, energy security and financial security is truly felt by the world, especially developing countries. rishi sunak is at the g20 summit in bali and was asked what he would have said to vladimir putin had he been there. well, this morning at the 620, i we saw international condemnation of russia's war in ukraine. and with russian foreign minister |sitting there, we highlighted bothi the illegality and the barbaric nature of russia's war. - and also the devastating impact it is having on people around i the world through higher food and energy prices. _

we have a responsibility. to work with our 620 allies to fix the global economy, to grip inflation, but also. to safeguard and preserve the international order i and that is what we are going to do. 0ur correspondent jonathan head is following developments at the summit. yes, that is the main focus. it was inevitable with president zelensky addressing all the delegates here by video link and giving that impassioned speech that he did, calling them to make this the moment when they closed down the ukraine war, that they shouldn't give in to russian nuclear blackmail. there's a kind of split here, really, in some ways. although everyone here agrees the war in ukraine is an urgent priority and there's been a united call to end that war as soon as possible, you've got the us and its allies, the g7 group, if you like, really pushing for a hard line against russia, for russia to be condemned and isolated and to some degree, the russian foreign minister, who's come instead of vladimir putin here, does cut something

of an isolated figure. he's been placed together, you see him sitting with some of the other foreign ministers, but other countries here aren't willing to sign up to quite such a confrontational approach. they say, yes, the war in ukraine must end. perhaps you use more subtle diplomacy to do it. and they're also concerned that the real issues they want to talk about here, these are also urgent, getting the global economy going again, dealing with acute problems with food security and energy supplies, and looking at climate change, that those are being eclipsed by the concerns about ukraine and the kind of superpower rival we've seen between the us and china. so there is a difference in perspective which has made it quite difficult for them to agree on a final communique. we believe they have agreed and we believe that all of them will sign up to a very strong statement on ukraine, but it's unlikely to be as strong as what is wanted by the united states and its allies, who argue, ultimately, that a lot of the problems they want to talk

about here, like food security, are actually being massively accentuated by the ukraine war. so there is that difference here in how you approach the ukraine war that makes it quite difficult to find a consensus on other issues. 0ur political correspondent, ione wells, is at westminster. rishi sunak“s first g20 as prime minister. quite a test for him and he kicked off with very strong words for russia? ., “ , he kicked off with very strong words for russia? ., �* , ., ., for russia? that's right, one of the big focuses — for russia? that's right, one of the big focuses of _ for russia? that's right, one of the big focuses of this _ for russia? that's right, one of the big focuses of this summit - for russia? that's right, one of the big focuses of this summit as i for russia? that's right, one of the big focuses of this summit as we i big focuses of this summit as we head has been discussing the international response to the russian invasion of ukraine. what support can be given to ukraine on an international level? but also some of the issues it is causing for the rest of the world like food security, economic turmoil, rising inflation as a result of the war in ukraine and as you say, he expressed some strong words towards russia's foreign minister who is at the summit as well, essentially telling him to get out of ukraine and condemning the illegality of the war as well. so this is the first time

that british prime minister has directly confronted a russian official about their actions in ukraine. i think she is keen to stress the uk is taking a strong stance on it and i think that international response will be a focus of discussion for the rest of the summit. he focus of discussion for the rest of the summit-— focus of discussion for the rest of the summit. .,, , ., .,, the summit. he has focused on those international— the summit. he has focused on those international issues _ the summit. he has focused on those international issues but _ the summit. he has focused on those international issues but questions i international issues but questions coming about domestic issues too because he will come back and we have got the autumn statement on thursday which is going to be key in terms of government policy and dealing with the cost of living crisis? ., “ , , crisis? that's right, there will be no time for _ crisis? that's right, there will be no time for rishi _ crisis? that's right, there will be no time for rishi sunak - crisis? that's right, there will be no time for rishi sunak to i crisis? that's right, there will be no time for rishi sunak to get i crisis? that's right, there will be i no time for rishi sunak to get over anyjet lag as he returns from indonesia to the uk later this week. his first bout task is joining his chancellorjeremy hunt in outlining their measures in an autumn statement on thursday and we expect a combination of spending cuts but also tax rises as well to try to plug what has been described in westminster as a fiscal hole, this gap in government spending and

government income, which the chancellor and prime minister are trying to address. there is lots of speculation about what might be in the statement, not much is being officially confirmed at this stage until it's outlined on thursday but to run through a couple of things we are expecting to come the road, firstly on tax rises, we know one thing on the table but again not confirmed as potentially changing the limit at which councils can charge people council tax, raising the cap. they can raise council tax three or a%. we also know something is freezing the threshold at which people start paying certain kinds of tax like income tax which means if people's wages rise, they may fall into higher tax brackets, increasing the amount of tax revenue the treasury would get. we also know things like that windfall tax on oil

and gas companies may well be extended in terms of the amount of tax, some of the companies must pay but also the duration as well. we also think it might be extended to electricity generators. lots of tax rises are under consideration. 0ne rises are under consideration. one of the things causing concern particularly among some conservative mps is what public spending cuts may come. rishi sunakfacing pressure from backbench mps about education spending with some conservative mps seeking reassurance that education and schools will not face spending cuts. at the moment the government is not confirming or denying any kind of speculation about this, so everybody, mps and journalists and the public will have to wait until thursday for clarity but i think that will be a big test when he is backin that will be a big test when he is back in the uk.— that will be a big test when he is back in the uk. ., ,, i. , . back in the uk. thank you very much indeed. the latest figures show a rise in unemployment within the uk

workforce for the three months to september. unemployment now stands at around 3.6%, that's up from 3.5 in august. although this does remain at a near 50—year low. regular pay is increasing too, by around 5.7% in the year to september. but when adjusted for rising prices, wages fell by 2.7%. let's get more on this now with our employment correspondent, zoe conway, who's at eastgate indoor market in gloucesterfor us. hello, we are at the eastgate market as part of the bbc“s cost of living tackling it together coverage. 0ne tackling it together coverage. one of the really significant bits of data that has come out today is how many people are considering to be economically inactive, people either not in work, not looking for work or might perhaps be an education.

arguably, the term economically inactive is quite derogatory, it suggests laziness. figures today suggests laziness. figures today suggest that has gone up to nearly 9 million people. who are we really talking about? there could be people who have left the workforce for very good and difficult reasons. that is why we are talking to dawn. you left the workforce when you are 56. a few years ago. why did you leave? to help care for my parents. we have both got dementia at different stages. i also look after my three grandchildren to help my son out so that he can go to work.— that he can go to work. when you hear people _ that he can go to work. when you hear people talk— that he can go to work. when you hear people talk about _ that he can go to work. when you hear people talk about people i that he can go to work. when you i hear people talk about people being economically inactive, what do you think? , , ., , think? there is hundreds of people in my position _ think? there is hundreds of people in my position that _ think? there is hundreds of people in my position that are _ think? there is hundreds of people in my position that are doing i think? there is hundreds of people in my position that are doing the i in my position that are doing the same thing. they have come out of

heard on the cost of living crisis that people who may be had retired early or thought they could retire early or thought they could retire early are now on retiring and coming back to work because of the pressures they are feeling on the cost of living. to pressures they are feeling on the cost of living.— pressures they are feeling on the cost of living. to talk about two of those key points _ cost of living. to talk about two of those key points you _ cost of living. to talk about two of those key points you made, i cost of living. to talk about two of i those key points you made, 250,000 vacancies on your sight. what sectors are particularly looking for work right now? it is sectors are particularly looking for work right now?— work right now? it is across the economy- _ work right now? it is across the economy. there _ work right now? it is across the economy. there is _ work right now? it is across the economy. there is a _ work right now? it is across the economy. there is a global i work right now? it is across the l economy. there is a global skills shortage at the moment. not particular to the uk, it is true of most major economies that there are great shortages of workers and we are seeing it right across business services, technology, health and care, education, there are many vacancies in all of these areas and great shortages still. at the same time, we see an increasing number of people being described and i would share your view on, i don't much

like the description, economically inactive, with 9 million people in that category and more people signing off long—term sick. so there is a real problem in the labour market that the supply and demand are not meeting the middle. iwhen market that the supply and demand are not meeting the middle. when you talk about peeple _ are not meeting the middle. when you talk about people going _ are not meeting the middle. when you talk about people going back _ are not meeting the middle. when you talk about people going back into - talk about people going back into the workplace having perhaps retired, because of the cost of living crisis, presumably they are looking at pick of the jobs they want? it looking at pick of the 'obs they want? , ., ., ., ., ., ., ~ looking at pick of the 'obs they want? , ., ., ., want? it is a good time to look for a 'ob, want? it is a good time to look for a job. yes- — want? it is a good time to look for a job. yes- a _ want? it is a good time to look for aiob. yes- a lot— want? it is a good time to look for a job, yes. a lot of— want? it is a good time to look for a job, yes. a lot of people - want? it is a good time to look for a job, yes. a lot of people in - want? it is a good time to look for a job, yes. a lot of people in their| a job, yes. a lot of people in their 50s left the market during the pandemic and some of those people are returning and have a good choice ofjobs, many will have skills that companies really want and are seeking actively. it's quite a good time to look for a job, still, despite the news of recession in the headlines. that is what is strange. it is a tough environment because wages are not keeping up inflation

inquest into the death of 2—year—old awaab ishak in rochdale. a coroner has concluded that his death was directly linked to his exposure to mould in a flat in rochdale. the senior coroner ms joanne kearsley concluded, "awaab ishak died "as a result of a severe respiratory condition caused due "to prolonged exposure to mould in the home environment. "action to treat and prevent the mould was not taken." he died shortly after his second birthday in december 2020. this is an inquest that will have quite an impact, a two—year—old boy died of a severe respiratory condition caused by mould in the property he was living in. the coroner's court heard during the inquest that his father had called rochdale borough wide housing many times about the property. the coroner said how in the uk in 2020

does a two—year—old child die as a result of exposure to mould? this is not simply a rochdale problem or social housing problem. he said the tragic death of awaab ishak should be a defining moment for the housing sector. we will bring you more on the reaction to that as we get it. we can speak now to dr stephen hall from the department of international studies at the university of bath. your reaction to those comments by rishi sunak. hard—line comments to russia, saying russia should get out. do these sort of comments have an impact on russia which on the ground militarily is not doing as well as it was and had hoped and has pulled out of shares on? i

well as it was and had hoped and has pulled out of shares on?— pulled out of shares on? i think for russia, pulled out of shares on? i think for russia. they _ pulled out of shares on? i think for russia, they were _ pulled out of shares on? i think for russia, they were expecting - russia, they were expecting particularly harsh comments from western leaders and that is why putin did not go to the g20. and why sergey lavrov was sent in his place because they knew that certainly western leaders, america, others in western leaders, america, others in western europe would certainly criticise what russia has been doing in regards to ukraine and i would expect rishi sunak among many other leaders there would make the very vocal point of criticising what russia has been doing in ukraine. volodymyr zelensky has spoken at the summit. he rolled out negotiations to end the summit, he said there would be no minsk three, in other words referencing those two previous ceasefire agreements that were agreed between russia and ukraine over the donbas region. he said we will not allow russia to wait, build

up will not allow russia to wait, build up its forces and start a new series of terror and destabilisation again. what is your view on the international response in support of that stance? i international response in support of that stance?— that stance? i think there has been talk about negotiations _ that stance? i think there has been talk about negotiations that - talk about negotiations that different people have been talking about, the need for negotiation possibly can but i think for the most part, the western response has been support for ukraine for as long as it takes, often given support militarily but also economically. in my opinion it's entirely, minsk one and two were pushed in ukraine who was forced to go along with them. it was forced to go along with them. it was never going to work. minsk iii at least the idea would also never work. that is not to say negotiations will not happen in the future. certainly it will not be

cuestion. the world stage? that's a very good question- i — the world stage? that's a very good question. i think— the world stage? that's a very good question. i think it _ the world stage? that's a very good question. i think it depends - the world stage? that's a very good question. i think it depends on - the world stage? that's a very good j question. i think it depends on what we mean by defining moment. the criticism that will come from g20 will be hard for russia. the un resolution about russia having to pay reparations for ukraine would also be i think russia will remain an actor on the international stage, primarily because russia is so large geographically, it is a member of the unp security council so i don't think this is the of russia on the international stage but certainly russia will try and find alternatives, to find supporters for its view on ukraine and try to play different looks off against one another. as russia often does. share another. as russia often does. are the many obvious supporters for its position? i the many obvious supporters for its osition? ., �* ~' the many obvious supporters for its osition? ., �* ~ ., position? i don't think there are necessarily _ position? i don't think there are necessarily many _ position? i don't think there are necessarily many supporters - position? i don't think there are necessarily many supporters for position? i don't think there are i necessarily many supporters for its position. even china has criticised

it for its nuclear rhetoric. at some point russia will try and recalibrate as it were how to, what it actually wants from the international community and will try and find takers as to its worldview. certainly the idea of american dictatorship in the world, regardless of whether it is believable or not, does not resonate for certain countries globally. thank you. voters in arizona have chosen a democrat as their new governor, defeating a trump—backed candidate. katie hobbs is projected to have beaten kari lake, a high—profile supporter of donald trump and a denier of the 2020 election result. arizona is regarded as a battleground state and is expected to play an important role in the next presidential electon in 202a. cbs correspondent elise preston sent us this update on kari lake from new york.

also she has not conceded this race. she actually tweeted just hours ago that, quote, "arizonans know bs when they see it." so she has not accepted the loss as of yet. and this is something that she said that she would not do if she did, if she did in fact lose. and in the days as the votes were counting, she even called out election officials, saying that arizona and elections were ripe with fraud. of course, election officials, also republicans, fought back, saying that that was not true. so it is something that we will continue to watch moving forward. again, the race was called just hours ago and as of yet, kari lake has not conceded the race. the health secretary, steve barclay, will hold talks with union leaders today, with the growing prospect of further strikes by nhs workers. the royal college of nursing announced last week that many of its members had voted to walk out in a dispute over pay and staff shortages. other unions are carrying out ballots.

it's understood today's meeting will be focused on workforce issues in england. nhs providers is the membership organisation for nhs trusts in england. its interim chief executive, saffron cordery, told us a deal must be found to head off strikes before the onset of winter. we totally understand the frustration that nurses and other health care staff are feeling, we've got rising cost of living, increased pressure on the front line, so we do see the challenges there. but i am really delighted that the secretary of state and the royal college of nursing are coming round the table today, because i think the critical thing is for patients and for staff indeed, is that we actually resolve this dispute and seek to move on. trusts are doing everything they can to manage the existing demand across the nhs, and indeed to prepare for any industrial action.

they will be ready for this, what they would like to see is resolution. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol. hello again. we've got some heavy rain, which has been pushing steadily from the west towards the east and northeast through the course of today. and it's going to continue with that journey through the afternoon, some heavy bursts to come, especially across perth and kinross in aberdeenshire, but behind it, we see a return to sunshine and showers, but some of those showers could well be heavy and potentially, in the southwest, we might hear the odd rumble of thunder. now, the other thing is gusty winds, gusty winds ahead and around the weather front bearing the rain and that will push northwards through tonight. so we could have gusts of 60 miles an hour, for example, in the northern isles tonight. still some showers, still the odd rumble of thunder in the southwest. and we're looking at a cooler night than the one that has just gone.

so, as we head through tomorrow, still very windy across shetland. for the rest of us, we have some sunshine and showers to look forward to, but then through the day, especially the afternoon, more rain and strong winds arrive into the southwest, with temperatures roughly where they should be at this stage in november.

hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... rishi sunak criticises russia's 'barbaric�* war in ukraine as the g20 gets under way in bali. president zelensky addresses world leaders. as uk unemployment rises slightly in the three months to september, regular pay falls due to the cost of living crisis. the health secretary will speak to union bosses today amid the growing prospect of strike action by nhs workers this winter. a global milestone, as the world's population passes eight billion people. and the bbc hears from michelle 0bama, who reveals the pain she felt when donald trump

replaced her husband in the white house. sport and a full round—up from the bbc sport centre. good morning. we are nearly there, this time next week england and wales will have played their first matches at the qatar world cup. gareth bale says it's yet to sink in. the wales captain says he's 100% fit to play. he admits it was difficult growing up unable to see wales play at at the finals, but now the country's preparing to play in a world cup for the first time in 64 years he can't wait. theirfirst group game is against usa on monday. for the kids now, to be able to have wales, their country, being able to watch them and have the actual kind of poster up on the wall, to mark out each game, will be incredible and i think it

will definitely inspire another generation of kids to really love and get into football and i think that willjust benefit wales in the future, both the men's and women's game. much has been made of how much has been made of how the much has been made of how the tournament had to be shifted to the northern hemisphere winter. and these are pictures we've had come through this morning of england leaving. the weather did not deter those young fans who had come to see them. the plane is using a lane called rainbow. the glazers don't care about the club on a sporting front, those are the latest comments to be released from the cristiano ronaldo interview. he made headlines yesterday after telling talktv he felt

"betrayed" by manchester united and claimed they were trying to force him out. we've now heard ronaldo call united a marketing club focused on money. as well as criticising the owners the glazers, he's also taken a swipe at former team—mates wayne rooney and gary neville, who've been critical of him at times, saying they're doing it to be more famous, and they're not his friends. talking of potentially strained friendships this is bruno fernandes, ronaldo's manchester united teammate, joining up with him and the rest of the portugal team for the world cup. you can make what you want of this short exchange. it's not clear what was said but that video was posted by portugal's social media channel. as for manchester united, they say they'll consider their response to what ronaldo's saying after the full facts haves been established, which we assume is once the interviews gone out in full. numerous reports in australia suggest novak djokovic will be allowed to compete injanuary�*s australian open. citing sources close to the federal government, they say the immigration minister andrew giles will overturn djokovic�*s three year visa ban. the ban was automatically imposed when the nine time australian open champion's visa was cancelled "in the public interest" earlier this year. djokovic had not been

vaccinated for covid before arriving in melbourne, but had been told he was eligible for a medical exemption. he was deported, after losing a legal challenge, on the eve of this year's tournament. england's women need to turn professional if they�* re to close the gap on new zealand and australia in rugby league. that's according to departing head coach craig richards. england's dream of reaching a first ever women's rugby league world cup final were dashed by new zealand who turned professional earlier this year. the kiwi ferns winning 20—6 last night in york. richards wants to see a real momentum following this high profile world cup in england. the girls need to experience more intensity and competition aren't made to work on score tries and make yardage and unfortunately, back in the super league, you will have it in some games. that is the only way potentially they can go on and beat

teams like this. that's all the sport for now. the un has announced that the global population has hit eight billion. demographers chose 15 november to mark this milestone, though it could be up to a year or two on either side. in 1999 and 2011, the un christened several children as the world's six and seven billionth. so what do their lives tell us about the state and future of the global population? the bbc�*s population correspondent, stephanie hegarty, spoke to them to find out. the day 0shi was born was extra special. she was one of a handful of children named the world's seven billionth baby by the un. 11 years later, the world's population has hit 8 billion. bangladesh where she lives has 17 million more people and it is still growing.

but the number of children women are having here has fallen from six in the 19805 to two today thanks to girls' education. bangladesh now has to harness the potential of its young educated people like oshi. the world's population is still growing, but in a lot of places, it is not too many people that they are worried about but too few. here in bosnia—herzegovina the population is already declining

because of low fertility and emigration, it is set to half in the next 15 years. in 1999, this man was named the world's 6 billionth baby by then, un secretary—general kofi annan. at 23, he is an economics graduate but he is looking for work and worried he might have to go abroad. this could become the norm as global population growth slows down over the next 60 years. it is likely to peak around 10 billion by 2080

according to the un. a coroner has concluded the death of a two—year—old boy was directly linked to his exposure to mould on a flat in rochdale. fiona trott is in rochdale. tell us more. the coroner has 'ust rochdale. tell us more. the coroner has just finished _ rochdale. tell us more. the coroner has just finished her _ rochdale. tell us more. the coroner hasjust finished her ruling. - rochdale. tell us more. the coroner hasjust finished her ruling. it - rochdale. tell us more. the coroner has just finished her ruling. it was i has just finished her ruling. it was a narrative verdict and she said this, action to prevent mould and to treat it was not taken and the condition led to his respiratory

arrest. and there was something really striking in courtjust now, when we heard what the coroner had to say about how the two—year—olds died and it is this, there seemed to be a lack of communication between people within the health sector here in greater manchester. people were notjoined up and there were communications. a health visitor raised concerns to the borough wide housing but the gp was not copied in. the gp was aware of the number of times he came to the surgery but that information was not shared with health visitors. singh —— in september 2020, a midwife, his mother was expecting at that point, completed a special circumstances form to children's services, highlighting concerns about mould and the potential impact on his health but that was not shared with the gp or the health visitor at the coroner said there was no evidence

it was received by children's services and no action was taken. she said i am satisfied there was an evident gap in information sharing. it was not until the 16th of december that there is any indication of the gp was aware of any social conditions which may have been having an impact on a child's hell. this was five days before he passed away. and the health visitor raising these concerns back injuly, that was five months before. clearly from what we have heard from the coroner today, the communication between health care professionals was notjoined up. communication was notjoined up within the housing group itself. rochdale borough wide housing. we also heard just now was that because of the it systems, not all employees who had concerns —— were aware of concerns raised by the health visitor. the coroner said maybe it was not fully understood

that when his father was advised to simply paint over the mould in his flat, that was the advice he was given, perhaps he did not quite understand that should have been with anti—mould paint and also when he was discharged from hospital, this was three days before his death, an appropriate translator should have been provided to the family, should have been communicated to them if he got worse, they must call 999. the senior coroner for the district of manchester north, joanne kearsley, also said this just now, i am not alone in thinking how in the uk in 2020 82—year—old child can die from exposure to mould at home. we heard about deprivation and poverty during the inquest on the need for social housing. there is evidence the problem is notjust in rochdale, it is notjust problem is notjust in rochdale, it is not just a problem is notjust in rochdale, it is notjust a social housing problem, it is a problem in the private sector also and that is why

now she is going to write to the ministry of housing and the secretary of state for health. did it emerge. _ secretary of state for health. did it emerge, fiona, during the inquest whether they are still in the same property, whether the problem has been fixed? you mentioned the mother was pregnant in 2020. are they still living in that same property with a child? we living in that same property with a child? ~ ., ., ., , , child? we have learnt that this is an issue that _ child? we have learnt that this is an issue that is _ child? we have learnt that this is an issue that is not _ child? we have learnt that this is an issue that is notjust - child? we have learnt that this is | an issue that is notjust restricted to that particular property. what we have heard during this inquest and we have spoken to a resident of that estate, is that neighbours are also saying that they have had mould problems. this is an issue that we heard during the inquest back in 2017. this was happening three years before this two—year—old died but there is something important when you are talking about people still

living on that estate and in these properties and what the coroner was just talking about just properties and what the coroner was just talking aboutjust now is that there seems to be a delay in the process, so if you are raising a concern through your solicitor about living conditions in your property, there is a delay in getting that problem—solving until action has been taken by a solicitor and this apparently is notjust an issue that is restricted to rochdale borough wide housing, it is policy that is taken by many housing associations. that was also flagged up by the coroner here. how is it that when concerns are raised about issues like mould and damp that it cannot be dealt with effectively? why are we waiting for solicitors to take this decisive action so that there is a delay in the process and it cannot be sorted out quickly? michelle 0bama has spoken to the bbc about how she struggles with negative thoughts

about her appearance. in her new book, the former us first lady also reveals how donald trump's victory, winning the us presidency, "still hurts". she was speaking exclusively to naga munchetty. but that's that point in time when you have to ask yourself, "was it worth it? did we make a dent? did it matter?" and when i'm in my darkest moment, right, my most irrational place, i could say, "well, maybe not. maybe we weren't good enough." but then i look around and i, you know, when there is more clarity, the world has become more and more polarised, especially when it comes to politics. they seem divided and angry. what in your opinion is needed to bring people back together, to let them have agreeable

regular pay falls due to the cost of living crisis (00v)the health secretary will speak to union bosses today the health secretary will speak to union bosses today amid the growing prospect of strike action by nhs workers this winter. all eyes are on the autumn statement on thursday and how the government will try and balance the books. there are fears that some of the savings could come from the £120 billion spent on benefit payments every year. millions of disabled people rely on this income to help pay for the extra costs of having a disability. ruth clegg reports. this may not look like a family on the brink, but they survive on benefits and help from family and friends.

if we didn't have that, or it was reduced, god forbid, in any way, we will lose the house. we don't get any support for housing costs or anything like that, so,... i can't imagine what it would be like to not have that and, in fact, i don't really like to think too much about what it would and wouldn't be like to have that because it's too difficult to picture in my head. elizabeth's life revolves around isabel's care. she's funny, she's happy, she always wakes up with a smile on her face. yep, pay attention. in the wheelchair, please. isabel has learning difficulties and epilepsy. and such complex conditions mean many extra costs. that's expensive, that's about £6,000, but for me, it's more about the accumulation of stuff. like, as her abilities have deteriorated, or her needs have changed, you slowly add things on and it's not like you canjust go, well, if we cutback on that... because, like you say, isabel has to have that. yeah, yeah. and you think, this is going

to be my next expense, i need to get a quote for another one of these but it is... it is ten years old. and also, she is spending more time in it. she doesn't have a diagnosis, so i don't know what's going to happen next. that's really hard. i'm almost reacting to situations rather than anticipating what's going to happen. more than 5 million people claim disability benefits. and that support can be crucial because, while disabled people make up just over 20% of the population, the account for more than 40% of the poorest households. there can be no more cuts. there can be no more austerity. because that will simply lead to loss of life. - people have changed _ what they are eating, they have reduced what they are eating, they have reduced transport, i they have reduced medical activity so, a lot of people do things- like therapies, extra - drugs that they may need,

those have all stopped. people cannot afford their health care. . this cafe in wigan provides a lifeline. run by disabled people, it's where problems are shared and support is given. my name is hannah, i am a third year literature and creative writing student. at 37, hannah has been fulfilling a lifelong ambition to get a degree and become a writer, but right now her independence is at risk. i feel like a prisoner in my own home, because of financial reasons, and i can't afford to do things, but not having the support in place, my biggest fear is that i'm going to go back to the institutional life living that i had got out of. without her mum, isobel would have to go into residential care. it was either my children or myjob and that's not a choice, is it?

there was no choice. this was not going to be my career path. it's not my fault. it's not isabel's fault, it's the situation that we are in. the government says disabled people have received a £150 cost of living payment as part of a wider package of support but, with what could be the biggest financial squeeze for a generation, and with many struggling to make ends meet, disabled people just want to make sure they get their voices heard, and listen to, before it's too late. liz clegg, bbc news, greater manchester. many of us are trying to cutback to save on our electricity bills, but for some people it's not that simple. six—year—old cohen has two health conditions which mean that he relies on machines to live, but now rising bills could cost his mum around £3,000 a year. gem o'reilly went to meet them. oh, look, a helicopter.

the cost of living crisis, for most people, it isjust about, oh, we will not go on holiday this year. but for us, it is our son's life. cohen has digeorge syndrome, and 15.2 genetic deletions. they prevent him from walking, talking and digesting food. he is thought to be the only child in the world to have both conditions. he requires to be cheap fed for 18 hours a day. we require a stair lift to get him upstairs because he is over 20 kilograms now. he has hoists in the bathroom and his bedroom. the machines that we use for cohen keep them alive. all the machines that we use cost us more money in an electric, but they are things that we need to use. over the last few months, lauren's energy bills have nearly doubled, going from £140 a month to 270. she expects them to go up to more than 3000 a year.

it makes me very nervous, what things we are going to have to miss out on to be able to afford to live. scope, the disability charity, says disabled people are cutting back on medicines and assistive technology due to rising costs. i'm classed as a low—paid carer and we get technically i think £1 22, ithink, an hour. sick which is nothing. in september the government introduced a one—off £150 payment for those in receipt of disability benefits. £150 for disabled families won't even cover my electric and gas bill. not even half of it. in a statement, the department for work and pensions said...

i want cohen to be able to achieve whatever he can achieve in life, but the cost of living crisis needs to change and things need to change, for him to be able to do that. across much of europe, from paris to london, measures are being put in place to keep energy costs down. in some of the iconic shopping areas, lights displays are being switched off, air conditioning is being turned down, and governments are calling for restricted energy use in the face of soaring costs. tom brada reports. with christmas fast approaching, department stores are showing off their festive displays.

but this trading season is not a straightforward one. inflation and rising energy costs mean retailers have a delicate balancing act to perform. we have to use less energy, less electricity and fewer illuminations, but, at the same time, we cannot deprive parisians, children and visitors, tourists alike, of a moment of shared collective joy. similar targets are being set in london. even harrods, a department store synonymous with wealth and luxury is making compromises. we will, you know, tone down the light in certain moments in the night, as every store, we contribute like that to saving some energy. it is the middle of the night here in central london and i am standing in front of the world—famous harrods building which at this time of year, is usually lit up entirely. as you can see, there are still a few lights that are on, but on the whole, it is a much less dazzling affair than previous years. and it is a pretty low—key affair here at selfridge's.

and a familiar picture once again atjohn lewis. the common thread, the energy crisis caused in large part by russia's war in ukraine. concerns over energy supplies have been growing ever since the russian invasion. we are only putting the heat when it is 17 degrees, so it is a big change. here on oxford street, the christmas lights which are usually twinkling around the clock are currently off. this year, they only come on at three in the afternoon and they turn off again at 11 at night. these kinds of measures are in place across europe and while they may take some getting used to, hopefully, they will not dim the christmas cheer. tom brada, bbc news. a missing dog has handed herself into a police station

in leicestershire in england after getting lost out on a walk. rosie the border collie became separated from her owner after being spooked by a firework. cctv camera captured the moment she walked through the automatic doors at loughborough police station. rosie has since been reunited with her family. i think we are going to be talking to them a little bit later. i don't really know if she knew she was handing herself into the police station. the heavy rain continuing to move northwards and eastwards. ahead of it, gusty winds, and behind it, the winds using a little bit but blustery showers following and it is all connected with these weather fronts wrapped around this area of low pressure to the north—west of us. through the rest of the day, the rain continuing northwards and eastwards. brightening up across dumfries and galloway, northern ireland, parts of wales and the midlands and southern england. but

you could catch a shower and locally they could be heavy and thundery. gusty winds wherever you are. in the english channel, especially gusty and later across shetland, as much as 60 mph. temperatures today 11 to 14 as 60 mph. temperatures today 11 to 1a degrees. these temperatures tempered by the wind and the rain. this evening and overnight, the rain pulls out of northern england, crossing the rest of scotland, pushing into the north—east. behind it, clearskies pushing into the north—east. behind it, clear skies and quite a few showers. could be heavy and thundery. temperatures lower than they were last night. especially in sheltered glens of scotland and also northern england. as we head into tomorrow, starting off with sunshine, bright spells and showers. many of the showers fading through the course of the day but the cloud building and then the arrival of some rain coming into the south—west. that is courtesy of this area of low pressure. it crosses us

through wednesday and thursday. a squeeze on the isobars. this is thursday, low pressure with the rain moving around, pushing northwards. behind that, we are looking at a mixture of sunshine and also showers and windy and the north sea. gusty through the english channel and these are the temperatures, nine to 13 celsius. friday, that rain clears northern scotland and we have a ridge of high pressure. still a few showers. on saturday, once again we are looking at rain coming in later to the west.

a short while ago i spoke to our political correspondent lone wells. she told me the pm had kicked off his first g20 as pm one of the big focuses of this summit as we heard has been discussing the international response to the russian invasion of ukraine. what support can be given to ukraine on an international level? but also some of the issues it is causing for the rest of the world, like food security, economic turmoil, rising inflation as a result of the war in ukraine and as you say, he expressed some strong words towards russia's foreign minister who is at the summit as well, essentially telling him to get out of ukraine and condemning the illegality of the war as well. so this is the first time that a british prime minister has directly confronted a russian official about their actions in ukraine. i think he is keen to stress the uk is taking a strong stance on it and i think that international

response will be a focus of discussion for the rest of the summit. a coroner has ruled that the death of a two—year—old boy was directly linked to the mould in his family's flat in rochdale. awaab ishak died two years ago from a severe respiratory condition. the inquest was told his father had repeatedly called the landlord, rochdale boroughwide housing, to report the problem. the coroner said the boy's death should be a "definining moment" for the housing sector. our north of england correspondent fiona trott was at the inquest. the coroner has just finished her ruling. it was a narrative verdict and she said this. "action to prevent mould and to treat it was not taken and the condition led to his respiratory arrest." and there was something really striking in courtjust now, when we heard what the coroner had to say about how two—year—old awaab ishak died and it is this.

there seemed to be a lack of communication between people within the health sector here in greater manchester. people were notjoined up in their communications. we heard a health visitor raised concerns to rochdale boroughwide housing but the gp was not copied in. the gp was aware of the number of times he came to the surgery but that information was not shared with health visitors. in september 2020, a midwife, because awaab's mother was expecting at that point, completed a special circumstances form to children's services, highlighting concerns about mould and the potential impact on awaab's health, but that was not shared with the gp or the health visitor at the coroner said there was no evidence it was received by children's services and no action was taken. she said, "i am satisfied there was an evident gap in information sharing. it was not until the 16th of december that there is any indication that the gp was aware of any social conditions

which may have been having an impact on a child's health." this was five days before awaab ishak passed away. and the health visitor was raising these concerns back injuly, that was five months before. clearly from what we have heard from the coroner today, the communication between health care professionals was not joined up. "communication was notjoined up within the housing group itself, rochdale boroughwide housing. we also heard just now was that because of the it systems, not all employees were aware of concerns raised by the health visitor. translation was also an issue we have just heard. the coroner said maybe it was not fully understood that when his father was advised to simply paint over the mould in his flat, that was the advice he was given, perhaps he did not quite understand that should have been

with anti—mould paint and also when awaab was discharged from hospital, this was three days before his death, an appropriate translator should have been provided to the family, it should have been communicated to them if he got worse, they must call 999. the senior coroner for the district of manchester north, joanne kearsley, also said this just now. "i am not alone in thinking how, in the uk in 2020, a two—year—old child can die from exposure to mould at home." we heard about deprivation and poverty during the inquest on the need for social housing. there is evidence the problem is notjust in rochdale, it is notjust a social housing problem, it is a problem in the private sector also and that is why now she is going to write to the ministry of housing and the secretary of state for health. we are going to be giving from

rectify the severe mould in our property. we cannot tell you how many health professionals we have cried in front of and rochdale boroughwide housing staff we have pleaded to expressing concern the conditions ourselves and awaab have been living in. we shouted out as loudly as we could but despite making all those efforts, every night we came back to the same problem. nothing was changing. we felt like we were getting nowhere and we were not. often our calls were not answered. we do not feel rochdale boroughwide housing actually cared about us. awaab's coughing fits would last two to three days. there were days we would not be able to take him out of the house because of how bad not be able to take him out of the house because of how had his coffin was but of course in the house, this made his coughing worse. we were absolutely trapped. living in these conditions affected every aspect of our lives. we did not feel at peace with ourselves within the property.

all the time felt troubled. we were anxious and fearful of what the mould was doing 21. whenever friends came to visit they would tell us the conditions rochdale boroughwide housing were keeping us and were not right. we have no doubt at all that we were treated this way because we are not from the country and less aware of how the systems in the uk work. rochdale boroughwide housing, we have a message for you. stop discriminating, stop being racist, stop providing unfair treatment to people coming from abroad. refugees or asylum seekers. stop housing people in homes you know are unfit for human habitation. we were left feeling absolutely worthless at the hands of rochdale boroughwide housing. ii hands of rochdale boroughwide housinu. ., ., housing. if rochdale boroughwide housin: housing. if rochdale boroughwide housing ever— housing. if rochdale boroughwide housing ever come _ housing. if rochdale boroughwide housing ever come across - housing. if rochdale boroughwide housing ever come across similar| housing ever come across similar issues _ housing ever come across similar issues again, we hope that they will deal with_ issues again, we hope that they will deal with it — issues again, we hope that they will deal with it in a more humane and efficient— deal with it in a more humane and efficient and professional way than how they— efficient and professional way than how they behave with us. we want to end by— how they behave with us. we want to end by telling you who are reputable

previously in a lawyer's letter the accepted approach was inappropriate, they should have undertaken responsibility and undertaken a more proactive response. sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre. it's departure day for england and wales as both squads head out to qatar for the world cup. this time next week they'll have played their first matches at the tournament, a prospect which wales captain gareth bale sez is yet to sink in. after limited perfomances for his club lafc in recent weeks bale insists he's 100% fit to play. he admits it was difficult growing up unable to see wales play at at the finals, but now the country's preparing to play in a world cup for the first time in 64 years he can't wait. theirfirst group game is against usa on monday. for the kids now to be able to have wales, their country, being able to watch them

and have the actual, kind of, poster up on the wall, to mark out each game will be incredible and i think it will definitely inspire another generation now of kids to really love and get into football and i think that willjust benefit wales in the future, both the men's and women's game. much has been made of how the tournament had to be moved to the northern hemishpere winter because of the heat in the middle east, but it's still more than 30 degrees celsius there today, which might actually please the england players who left st george's park this morning in driving rain. their first game is less than a week away now against iran. the weather didn't deter those young fans who'd come to see them off. the squad will use a plane called rain bow to get to qatar, on which is the symbol of lgbtq+ pride. the gulf state has been criticised for its beliefs on same—sex relationships. the target of cristiano ronaldo's latest rebuke is the glazers, manchester united's american owners, as the meltdown of relations

between player and club continues. he's said they don't care about united on a sporting front, but want it for the marketing and the money. given the latest instalment released from his talktv interview this exchange is laced with a bit of significance. portugal teammate bruno fernandes, of manchester united of course, as they meet up for the world cup. as for manchester united, they say they'll consider their response to what ronaldo's saying after the full facts haves been established, which could be once the interview has gone out in full later this week. it's being reported in the australian media that novak djokovic will be allowed to compete injanuary�*s australian open. citing sources close to the country's new federal government, it's claimed djokovic�*s three year visa ban will be overturned after their covid vaccine mandate was also ended. the nine—time australian open champion's visa was cancelled "in the public interest," because he hadn't been vaccinated before arriving in melbourne, from where he was deported after losing a legal challenge on the eve of this year's tournament. that's all the sport for now.

the latest figures show a rise in unemployment within the uk workforce for the three months to september. now stands at around 3.6% that's up from 3.5 in august. although this does remain at a near 50—year low. regular pay is increasing too, by around 5.7% in the year to september. but when adjusted for rising prices, wages fell by 2.7%. james reed, chairman of the reed group, told me thejobs market is "cooling off" but it still has more than a quarter of a million vacancies on itsjobs recruitment site. the market is cooling off and we are also seeing interestingly more people coming to look

forjobs than before. it is across the economy. there is a global skills shortage at the moment. not particular to the uk, it is true of most major economies that there are great shortages of workers and we are seeing it right across business services, technology, health and care, education, there are many vacancies in all of these areas and great shortages still. at the same time, we see an increasing number of people being described, and i would share your view on, i don't much like the description, economically inactive, with 9 million people in that category and more people signing off long—term sick. so there is a real problem in the labour market that the supply and demand are not meeting the middle. when you talk about those people going back into the workplace having perhaps retired, because of the cost of living crisis, presumably they are looking at the pick of the jobs they want? it is a good time to look for a job, yes. a lot of people in their 50s left the market during the pandemic

and some of those people are returning and have a good choice ofjobs, many will have skills that companies really want and are seeking actively. it's quite a good time to look for a job, still, despite the news of recession in the headlines. that is what is strange. it is a tough environment because wages are not keeping up inflation, but there are still lots ofjobs. what are employers doing to try to secure the workers they need? one of the things they are doing is putting up wages. although the average wage is up 5—6%, a number of employers will be putting wages up 10%—plus, so some sectors are lagging others in terms of wage inflation. but ones that are really short—staffed will be increasing wages to attract the people they need and those of the sort of sectors that are the most appealing to job—seekers i would suggest. is it a frustrating time to be in recruitment, when you can see

so manyjobs out there and people not coming forward for them? it is bittersweet because we are struggling to fulfil the demand of our clients who are looking for lots of people, often with similar skills at the same time. so it is good to be busy, but it is frustrating, you are right, when you cannot find the candidates. we are a company that has been going for 60—plus years so we hope clients are happy and come back to us. we want to find those people, we have a lot of applicants through the website, but it is a tough time for everyone in the market i think. you are a company with a lot of history, how does this particular period compare with what you have experienced before? i have never known any period like this. since the pandemic, it has been extraordinary. there has been a jobs boom and now that has probably coming probably coming to an end,

but there are record ofjobs, over 1.2 million in the economy, more than there are people out of work, and that is a very unusual situation, especially as right now we're being told the economy could already be in a recession. voters in arizona have chosen a democrat as their new governor, defeating a trump—backed candidate. katie hobbs is projected to have beaten kari lake, a high—profile supporter of donald trump and a denier of the 2020 election result. arizona is regarded as a battleground state and is expected to play an important role in the next presidential electon in 202a. dr leslie vinjamuri is the director of the us and the americas programme at chatham house. thank you forjoining us. how significant is this result? i think it is very significant. _ significant is this result? i think it is very significant. katie i significant is this result? i think| it is very significant. katie hobbs is important in that state in particular because she is so firmly held on to and push back against that attempt by the former president

donald trump to upend the results in arizona elections in 2020 and as you said, that is a battleground state, it will matter a huge amount in 2024. this follows a trend we have seenin 2024. this follows a trend we have seen in the mid—term elections of key election deniers that have the backing of a former president losing their seat, voters demonstrating at their seat, voters demonstrating at the ballot box that they are not interested in having illegitimate elections and those who really to for that in key seats. a number of secretary of state is in battleground states have been won by those who pushed back against election deniers and similarly in key numbers of battleground states we have seen a governor, the democrats take those seats. very significant alongside of course these thin but very important majority democrats have in the senate. in light of what is looking

like a republican majority although a very narrow one in the house. kari lake has a very narrow one in the house. kari lake has said _ a very narrow one in the house. kari lake has said she _ a very narrow one in the house. kari lake has said she doubts the results of this arizona contest were correct, that it was fair, that things had gone awry with it in the same way you are describing happened after last presidential election. argo is the sorts of things you are saying that voters are sick of? what's going on?— saying that voters are sick of? what's going on? they are. kari lake's denialism _ what's going on? they are. kari lake's denialism of _ what's going on? they are. kari lake's denialism of this - what's going on? they are. kari lake's denialism of this recent i lake's denialism of this recent result or questioning of it is a throwback, and activism, backing against a trend that americans have shown again through the people they have chosen and the people they voted out that they simply do not want that level of instability around them and the most basic form of democracy, a peaceful transition when elections take place at every level. kari lake is pushing against

that. we will see if she tries to take it further but i really think she is pushing against a tidal wave of what we have seen in the us. plenty of election deniers have got in office at lower levels where they were not really with the authority to decide how votes take place or are counted in those 2024 elections. a really important result in a very polarised electorate. but really aware that full asian becomes dangerous when you have got people at the top that take advantage of it, that use it to normal political processes so this election i think was very carefully watched but very tight. ii was very carefully watched but very ti . ht. , ., ., was very carefully watched but very tirht. _, ., ,, ,., tight. if it is around issues of election denial, _ tight. if it is around issues of election denial, does - tight. if it is around issues of election denial, does that i tight. if it is around issues of| election denial, does that get

pinned on donald trump and his position in the republican party going forward. there is one issue thatis going forward. there is one issue that is being talked about a lot is roe v wade and the impact on public opinion on that.— roe v wade and the impact on public opinion on that. some people thought abortion rights — opinion on that. some people thought abortion rights would _ opinion on that. some people thought abortion rights would not _ opinion on that. some people thought abortion rights would not turn - opinion on that. some people thought abortion rights would not turn out i abortion rights would not turn out voters. it absolutely has turned out voters. it absolutely has turned out voters in very significant numbers with a great deal of intensity and really those two concerns have come together to make for a very driven and desert —— determined democratic voter base and in arizona in particular, young voters have turned out for the democrats, over 70% of young voters voted democrat in arizona, and they are driven by abortion rights, they are driven by anti—election denial is, they are concerned about gun legislation and gun control. to your question about

donald trump, yes, i think it does raise big issues for him. the republican party is now looking at a former president who continues to try to dominate, his hold is weakening, he has a challenger in ron desantis and many others. he stands on a platform that many americans have just demonstrated they do not wish to see. but he is still a powerful and popular person, especially with his pace. we know that he is winning to take risks in order to extend and take advantage of that and the party is going to have to choose and i think the former president is going to push them into what will be a very uncomfortable choice.- them into what will be a very uncomfortable choice. thank you for 'oinin: us. joining us. we are certainly seeing a spell of unsettled november weather now. it is wet and windy for many of us and thatis is wet and windy for many of us and that is going to be the picture over the next couple of days. low

pressure dominating things at the moment. this band of rain tracking its way eastwards. it will linger longest output —— across parts of scotland. further heavy showers pushing in from the west for parts of south wales, southern england as well. temperatures between ten and 13 degrees but you will notice the strength of the wind in north—east england and scotland later on. gusts of 60 mph. the wind and rain clearing overnight. could be some thunderstorms in the south. lowest temperatures in parts of central scotland and northern england. there could be a touch of frost overnight. some heavy showers initially in the south and more wet and windy weather arriving in the south—west later in the day. temperatures are little bit more seasonal for the time of year. between nine and 13 degrees. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines...

the prime minister admits the uk's international reputation has taken a "knock" following the economic fallout of his predecessor's mini—budget. as uk unemployment rises slightly in the three months to september. regular pay falls due to the cost of living crisis. the health secretary will speak to union bosses today amid the growing prospect of strike action by nhs workers this winter. a global milestone, as the world's population passes eight billion people. an inquest finds the death of two—year—old awaab ishak was directly linked to his exposure to mould in his rochdale home. and the bbc hears from michelle 0bama who reveals the pain she felt when donald trump replaced her husband in the white house. the health secretary, steve barclay, has been holding talks with union leaders today, with the growing prospect of further

strikes by nhs workers. the royal college of nursing announced last week that many of its members had voted to walk out in a dispute over pay and staff shortages. other unions are carrying out ballots. it's understood today's meeting will be focused on workforce issues in england. nhs providers is the membership organisation for nhs trusts in england. its interim chief executive, saffron cordery, told us a deal must be found to head off strikes before the onset of winter. we the onset of winter. are totally understanding the frustration we are totally understanding the frustration that nurses and other health care staff are feeling. we have got rising cost of living, increased pressure on the front line, so we do see the challenges there but i am really delighted that there but i am really delighted that the secretary of state and the royal couege the secretary of state and the royal college of nursing are coming round the table today because i think the critical thing is for patients and for staff indeed is that we actually resolve this dispute and seek to

move on because that is the most important element here. trusts are doing everything that they can to manage the existing demand across the nhs and indeed to prepare for any industrial action. they will be ready for this. but what they would really like to see is resolution. those talks in whitehall have finished and we can speak to colenzo jarrett—thorpe who is national officerfor health at the unite union. welcome, thank you forjoining us. were you involved in those talks question mark yes, i did attend the talks today. and what can you tell us? . «a talks today. and what can you tell us? ., ~', . ., , . . us? the talks were constructive. we ho -e it is us? the talks were constructive. we hope it is the _ us? the talks were constructive. we hope it is the first _ us? the talks were constructive. we hope it is the first of _ us? the talks were constructive. we hope it is the first of many - hope it is the first of many discussions with ministers and senior officials at the department of health but they did not come up with an eureka moment. there is still lots to do and what we are asking for from united to still lots to do and what we are asking forfrom united to make still lots to do and what we are asking for from united to make sure that any budget that is going to

come up on thursday, rishi sunak and the chancellor of the exchequer actually avert the nhs crisis that we have. putting in more funding to the nhs and also ensuring that staff get a decent pay rise because decent pay rises are linked to patient care. we have already seen the british heart foundation has said 230 people are dying a week because of ambulances not being able to make their calls. people are already dying as a result of the lack of investment in the nhs over the last 12 years. investment in the nhs over the last 12 ears. ~ , ., investment in the nhs over the last 12 ears. ~ investment in the nhs over the last 12 ears. ,, investment in the nhs over the last 12 ears. , 12 years. when you say pay rises are directly linked _ 12 years. when you say pay rises are directly linked to _ 12 years. when you say pay rises are directly linked to patient _ 12 years. when you say pay rises are directly linked to patient care, i 12 years. when you say pay rises are directly linked to patient care, are i directly linked to patient care, are you saying that because people are leaving the service and people are not coming in because of the pay issues? , ., ., , , issues? yes, unfortunately, people are leaving — issues? yes, unfortunately, people are leaving the _ issues? yes, unfortunately, people are leaving the nhs _ issues? yes, unfortunately, people are leaving the nhs in _ issues? yes, unfortunately, people are leaving the nhs in their- issues? yes, unfortunately, people are leaving the nhs in their droves | are leaving the nhs in their droves and some staff are even going to work in other sorts ofjobs because their skills are transferable, where they get better pay and it is less stressful. we have already seen in england 130,000 vacancies in the nhs

apprenticeships in the nhs, so there is a proper career pathway for people to live and work in the nhs effectively to deliver that patient care. and as i said already, people are already dying because of the neglect any funding of the nhs over many years. the nhs funding is actually down on what it has been historically through the years. there is enough money to pay for it. you can pay for it. the money is there. no one talks about the corporations that are raking in record profits. corporations... a 73% increase in profits over the last three years and no one is saying they need to tighten their belts. ., ~' , ., saying they need to tighten their belts. . ,, , ., ., saying they need to tighten their belts. . ,, i. ., ., saying they need to tighten their belts. . ~' i” ., ., , saying they need to tighten their belts. . «i ., ., , ., belts. thank you for 'oining us from the united union. _ meanwhile, more than nine in ten social care directors do not believe their local area has enough staff or funding to get through the winter, a survey suggests. for more, let's talk to cathie williams, the chief executive of the association of directors of adults social services.

provided for people needing care and support continues to go up. and more people need care and their needs are more complex. the number of hours that are needed but cannot be delivered has gone up even more. talk about figures. we were saying that more than nine in ten social care directors don't believe their local area has enough staff or funding to get through the winter. already the funding, you are saying, is falling short but you are talking about serious pay rises for workers in social care. about serious pay rises for workers in social care-— in social care. yes, and this is a benefit for _ in social care. yes, and this is a benefit for all _ in social care. yes, and this is a benefit for all of _ in social care. yes, and this is a benefit for all of us. _ in social care. yes, and this is a benefit for all of us. it - in social care. yes, and this is a benefit for all of us. it is - in social care. yes, and this is a benefit for all of us. it is not. benefit for all of us. it is not just a drain on the economy. we all need to live and work. 94% of directors did not think that landing was sufficient to meet costs over the winter. nearly all directors, thatis the winter. nearly all directors, that is another 94%, did not think social care workforce was sufficient

11 years later, the world's population has hit 8 billion. bangladesh where she lives has 17 million more people and it is still growing. but the number of children women are having here has fallen from six in the 19805 to two today thanks to girls' education. bangladesh now has to harness the potential of its young educated people like oshi. the world's population is still

growing, but in a lot of places, it is not too many people that they are worried about but too few. here in bosnia—herzegovina the population is already declining because of low fertility and emigration, it is set to half in the next 15 years. in 1999, this man was named the world's 6 billionth baby by then, un secretary—general kofi annan. at 23, he is an economics graduate but he is looking for work and worried he might have to go abroad.

this could become the norm as global population growth slows down over the next 60 years. it is likely to peak around 10 billion by 2080 according to the un. michelle 0bama has spoken to the bbc about how she struggles with negative thoughts about her appearance. in her new book, the former us first lady also reveals how donald trump's victory, winning the us presidency, "still hurts". she was speaking exclusively to naga munchetty. that's that point in time when you have to ask yourself,

"was it worth it? did we make a dent? did it matter?" and when i'm in my darkest moment, right, my most irrational place, i could say, "well, maybe not. maybe we weren't good enough." the world has become more and more polarised, especially when it comes to politics. they seem divided and angry. what in your opinion is needed to bring people back together, to let them have agreeable disagreements? leadership matters, the voices at the top matter, if we continue to be susceptible to voices that want to lead by fear and division, we will follow suit. that is why government matters. democracy matters. voting matters. so i think it starts

with having leadership that reflects the direction that we want to go in as a people. one of the biggest challenges you referred to when you talk about fear, you said the most anxious i have been in my life was when barack 0bama told me for the first time that he wanted to run for president of the united states. and it is strange that i could have altered the course of history with my fear. you could have said no. you know you had that option, and it would have stood. are you pleased you said yes? lam. i think to take a moment to talk about the man that i love, i think that barack was a consequential leader. for so many young people, notjust in america but around the world, they grew up knowing only a black president and african—american family in the white house. they saw themselves in one of the most powerful positions

on earth. if you just count that alone, not to mention all of his accomplishments from a policy perspective, it was absolutely worth taking that leap of faith. michelle's book 'the light we carry�* is out today. if you regularly practice yoga, you'll be familiar with the "downward dog" pose. but now there's a trend that gives the phrase a whole new meaning. teachers say bringing dogs into classes is beneficial for both humans and the canines taking part. molly brewer reports. and when we are lying down, do be prepared, they probably will come and jump on your face, nibble your ears and your toes, so be prepared for all the puppy love. yoga but with a fluffy twist, with literal downward facing dogs. the puppies just run around. as you can see, theyjust make everyone so happy. and i always tell people

at the start of the classes, feel free to join in if and when. if you want to sit with the dogs the whole time, feel free to do so. this unique practice is a combination of animal therapy and yoga, which aims to help with anxiety and stress. not everyone has access to pets and animals. especially people like students, who might be away for uni and might be missing their pets. so it has great mental health benefits well. it really helps with the puppies' socialisation process, so it helps puppies get used to being around people, being in a new environment, before they go to their new home. but being puppies with still a lot to learn, there's always a risk of a few accidents. but people here say that is a small price to pay. anyone who's had a dog or a puppy knows that they will wee or they will bark sometimes. there is an understanding, yeah. it isjust really nice, - it brings you all the serotonin and good vibes and the puppies are so adorable. _

she is a big dog fan. yes _ this is a dream come true! seriously. i have been stealing puppies all session. molly brewer, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello. we have seen some heavy bursts of rain today, blustery winds. most of the rain starting to clear away from the east coast but we have plenty more heavy showers moving in from the west. this was the scene in devon a little earlier on. this theme continuing over the next few days. blustery conditions with rain around at times. this weather front that brought the rain today pushing away from the east. still lingering across parts of north—east scotland. gusts of wind could reach close to 60 mph in scotland. a scattering of heavy

showers rolling in from the south—west. some of them heavy infantry. gusty winds for most of us, but 60 mph across the far east of scotland this evening. temperatures dipping down into single figures. overnight, the cloud and rain clearing away and sitting up and rain clearing away and sitting up towards the northern isles. further heavy and potentially thundery showers rattling in, with the wind is also picking up through the wind is also picking up through the english channel. most of us frost free but under clear skies, central scotland and north—east and then, could be a touch of frost first thing in the morning. wednesday, sunny spells and scattered showers. heavy showers and thunderstorms in the south, easing away. then we have this next area of heavy rain and strong scoring winds moving into the south—west inland and south wales in the afternoon. nine to 13 celsius on wednesday. a little more typical of the time of year compared to the very mild

weather we have seen recently. wednesday into thursday, that area of low pressure slowly pushing across the uk. ahead of that, strong winds across scotland and persistent rain driving in. could be some flooding impacts here. elsewhere, sandy intervals but scattered showers as well. very autumnal. temperatures are little milder than wednesday. ten to 13 degrees. looking ahead towards the end of the week, friday into saturday, higher pressure building. things looking drier and even some frost around overnight. turning more and settled on the weekend.

today at one: a two—year—old boy died from an illness caused by prolonged exposure to mould in his home, a coroner has found. awaab ishak contracted a severe respiratory condition linked to the mould — the family's solicitor read a statement on their behalf. "when awaab died, our lives changed forever. today, two years on, the coroner has found that our little boy's prolonged exposure to mould led entirely to his death." and our other main story this lunchtime. the prime minister tells russia's foreign minister his country must 'get out�* of ukraine. arriving for meetings at the g20 summit in bali, rishi sunak condemned russia's actions in the strongest terms. and with russia's minister sitting there, we highlighted both the illegality and barbaric nature of russia's war, and also

the devastating impact that it's having on people around the world
