good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. a coroner has concluded that the death of a toddler was directly linked to his exposure to mould in a flat in rochdale. awaab ishak died shortly after his second birthday in december 2020 as a result of a severe respiratory condition caused by the mould. his father had repeatedly raised the issue with the housing society, rochdale boroughwide housing, but no action was taken. the coronerjoanne kearsley said his "tragic death" should be "a defining moment for the housing sector". our correspondent, fiona trott, was in court. fiona, a tragic case with strong words from the coroner? yes. she said this, "i'm not alone in thinking how in the uk in 2020 can aid two—year—old child died from

exposure to mould at home?". she said during the inquest everyone had heard about deprivation and poverty and the need for social housing but she said there was evidence here that it wasn't just a problem she said there was evidence here that it wasn'tjust a problem in rochdale and that damp and mould wasn't just a social rochdale and that damp and mould wasn'tjust a social housing problem. she said it was a problem for the private sector also. she said the tragic death should be a defining moment for the housing sectorfor increasing defining moment for the housing sector for increasing knowledge and improving processes. a very clear message from the coroner there today. shortly afterwards, we also heard from the family's solicitor, kelly darlington. she spoke on behalf of the boy's father who stood next to her as she made the statement. "when awaab died, our lives changed forever. today, two years on, the coroner has found our little boy's prolonged exposure to mould led entirely to his death. we still cannot get our head around the fact that despite all the complaints we made

to rochdale boroughwide housing, in addition to the information rochdale boroughwide housing received from an nhs member of staff expressing their concern for awaab due to mould at the property, they did absolutely nothing to rectify the severe mould in our property." now we have just heard from rochdale boroughwide housing. we have a statement here from garage welbeck and in a statement he said, i'm truly devastated about awaab�*s death and things we got wrong. we didn't realise the level of risk to the little boy's health from the mould in the family home and we allowed illegal disrepair process widely used in the housing sector to get in the way of promptly tackling the issue. that wasn't the only issue the coroner raised here today. she also talks about a lack of communication between health care professionals, a lot of

professionalism in the housing sector itself because of the it system. and the issue of translation, the family not getting the help that they needed. she said many lessons to be learned, as we spoke about earlier, and that is why it is her intention now, she says, to write to the housing ministry and the secretary of state for health. fiona, thank you. fiona trott reporting there. rishi sunak has told russia's foreign minister that his country should �*get out�* of ukraine — it's the first direct confrontation between a british prime minister and a senior member of the russian government since the invasion. at the 620 summit in bali in indonesia, mr sunak spoke about both the illegality and barbaric nature of russia's war to sergei lavrov. a draft 620 declaration, seen by news agencies, condemns the war in ukraine. mr sunak said moscow would "never have a legitimate seat at the table" until it ended the war — adding that the conflict put the whole world at risk.

opening the summit, the indonesian president warned that "collaboration is badly needed to save the world" as it faces "crisis upon crisis". he said the war in ukraine was affecting food, energy and financial security, and it needed to end. 0ur south—east asia correspondent, jonathan head, sent this from report bali. ina in a world afflicted by multiple crises, you would hope this many leaders getting together would offer the best chance of addressing them. with the two superpowers, china and the us, so far, so good. president biden and xi agreed to dial down their hostility. but in a group that included russia and sergei lavrov, tackling the war in ukraine was proved difficult. the 620 heard an impassioned speech by president zelensky by video link. he said it

to a gala dinnerfor 620 leaders. it is gone nine o'clock in the evening here. he has been meeting world leaders in one—on—one, what are known as bilateral conversations, at a diplomatic level as well as the bigger sessions where all of the leaders were in the same room. i had a chance to ask him about a good old range of topics, including the autumn statement coming up on thursday and indeed the conduct of his deputy. but i wanted to start by asking him what it's like to be a british prime minister at the moment, on the world stage, given everything that has happened this year. prime minister, in yourjudgment, how tarnished is the uk's reputation after what's happened this year? well, look, obviously our international reputation took a bit of a knock as a result of some of the things that happened more recently. but what i've seen here at the 620 summit in indonesia is an enormous amount of goodwill for the uk to be an actively engaged member of the international community. there is widespread support for what we've done in ukraine

and across the board, whether it's on cop and climate change or, indeed, how to fix the global economy. these are all issues where we can play a role in people are looking for us to do that. you are putting up taxes, you are cutting spending. they are choices. how can you be sure you're not going to make a bad situation worse? well, it's tough and you wouldn't expect me to comment on specifics just a couple of days in advance of the chancellor's autumn statement... but you've acknowledged that taxes are going to go up, you've acknowledged that spending is going to be cut, so how can you be certain it won't make it worse? well, i think, taking a step back, the number one challenge we face is inflation. we're not alone in that and it's important that we get a grip of that. it's important that we limit the increase in mortgage rates that people are experiencing and the best way to do that is to get a grip of our borrowing levels and have our debt on a sustainable basis, falling. even if it makes people poorer? and that is something that we're not alone in doing, other countries are pursuing the same policy. what i can reassure people is the way we will go about that

will have fairness and compassion at the heart of all the decisions and we will of course always do our best to support, whether its public services or the economy, as required. were there any concerns, even informal ones, raised with you about the conduct of dominic raab before you appointed him as your deputy? i've been very clear. i don't recognise the characterisation of dominic's behaviour. and i also was not and am not aware of any formal complaint... i asked if there were any informal? no, well, there is a formal complaints process and that's the important thing that people should avail themselves of if they have concerns. did anyone know any documents make — raise any concerns about his behaviour at all? no, i was not and am not aware of any formal complaints about dominic's behaviour but i would say if people do have concerns, whether it's about any individual, that they should come forward and talk to people about those. let me be clear, are you saying nobody or no document made any even informal reference to his conduct? separate from a formal complaint? yeah, but i think it is important that we have... we do have a formal complaints process. but did anyone raise

anything informally? as i said, i don't recognise the characterisation of dominic's behaviour personally and i was not aware and i'm not aware of any formal complaints about that. that is an example of not answering a question that's. a question there that is an example of not answering a question there has been suggestions dominic raab has been fairly difficult to work with, those around him dismissed it amounts to bullying. the spokesman said when the stories were emerging the other day he has high standards, works hard and expects a lot from his team as well as from himself. this the third question, if you like, that's been asked of one of mr sunak�*s appointees to government, after the row about 6avin williamson who was false to resign and the reappointment of suella braverman as home secretaryjust reappointment of suella braverman as home secretary just six reappointment of suella braverman as home secretaryjust six days after she resigned from that same job. some ongoing questions about the decisions the prime minister is taking over who to appoint and they

followed him all the way here to the southern hemisphere. thank you. chris mason reporting there. wages are rising at their fastest rate in more than 20 years but latest official statistics show that average pay in the year to september, is still lagging well behind the soaring cost of living. pay in the private sector rose by a record 6.6% injuly to september compared with a year before, but only by 2.2% in the public sector, according to figures released by the office for national statistics. after adjusting for inflation, pay fell overall by 2.7%, close to the record drop recorded previously. the figures also showed that unemployment has risen slightly. our economics correspondent andy verity reports. across the country, private employers like this environmentally friendly coffee chain are giving the biggest pay rises in leap years. they have boosted pay by 5% and are offering grants and loans to help

who are economically inactive, meaning neither working or looking for work because of long—term sickness. most of that increase has taken place since the pandemic struck. andy verity, bbc news. the health secretary, steve barclay, has been holding talks with unions representing nhs workers today — to try to avoid a winter of strikes. last week, members of the royal college of nursing voted for industrial action, demanding a 17% pay rise. ballots in other unions could see paramedics, health care assistants, porters and cleaners also vote to walk out. as the chancellor puts the finishing touches to his autumn statement on thursday, there are fears that some of the savings he makes 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. like many disabled people, hannah has had to fight to live independently.

it took a long time and a lot of courage, and i'm persevering to build my life up to what i built it up to. and now the rising cost of living is putting all that at risk. i feel like a prisoner in my own home, whether it be because of financial reasons and i can't afford to do things, or not having the support in place. my biggest fear is that we're going to go back to the institutionalised living that we'd just got out of. it's a worry shared by many at this community hub in wigan. there can be no more cuts. they can be no more austerity, because that will simply lead to the loss of life. a lot of people do some additional things as well, you know, therapies, extra drugs that they may need. those have all stopped. people cannot afford their health care. combine the rising prices

with the huge social care cuts, and the extra cost ofjust having a disability, just living has become a fine balancing act for many disabled people and their families. isabel, are you going to pick anotherflower? this may not look like another 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 would lose the house. pay attention, in your wheelchair, please. isabel has learning disabilities and epilepsy, and such complex conditions bring many extra costs. that's expensive, that's £6,000. but for me, it's more about the accumulation of stuff. like, as her mobility�*s deteriorated or her needs have changed, you slowly add things on. hold your ipad for me, there's a good girl. 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. why is it that we're being punished for having a disabled person in our household? what's that? camera. 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 in a generation, disabled people just want to make sure they get their voices heard, and listened to, before it's too late. ruth clegg, bbc news, greater manchester. and if you want to find out more about thursday's autumn statement and how it may affect you, go to the bbc news website at bbc.co.uk/news, where there's a lot of information in our cost of living — tackling it together series. our top story this lunchtime: a coroner has ruled that the death of two—year—old awaab ishak was directly linked to the mould

she was one of a handful of children named the world's 7 billionth baby by the un. translation: the whole world saw me when i was born. - look now, you've come to see me. 11 years later, the world's population has hit 8 billion. bangladesh, where oishee lives, has 17 million more people and it's still growing. translation: there's been a lot of change. | prices have shot up. the fallout from covid hit families hard. we had big losses in our business and we were forced to move back to our village from the city. but the number of children women are having here has fallen — from six in the 1980s to two today, thanks to girls' education. bangladesh now has to harness the potential of its young educated people, like oishee. translation: i want to become a doctor to help people, - to give them special care.

the world's population is still growing, but in a lot of places, it's not too many people that they're worried about, but too few. here in bosnia and herzegovina, the population is already declining, because of low fertility and emigration. it's set to halve in the next 50 years. in 1999, adnan mevic was named the world's 6 billionth baby by then un secretary—6eneral, kofi annan. translation: other kids had birthday parties. - i was just visited by politicians. we never had a birthday party where kids would get together. at 23, adnan is an economics graduate, but he's looking for work and worried he might have to go abroad. translation: the time will come . here when there's going to be no-one left to pay for pensions for retired people, all the young people will be gone. this could become the norm, as global population growth slows down over the next 60 years.

it's likely to peak around 10 billion by 2080, according to the un. stephanie hegarty, bbc news, in bosnia and herzegovina. one of donald trump's staunchest supporters has been defeated in the us midterm elections in arizona. kari lake — a former news anchor — lost to her democratic rival katie hobbs, who's called for unity. republicans need to win at least 218 seats to claim a majority in the house of representatives. us media project their latest tally is 215 seats, and the democrats 211. the 6rammy award—winning singer roberta flack has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease. the musician, famous for her songs like killing me softly, has been left unable to sing and is also having difficulty speaking. her management announced her diagnosis ahead of a documentary about the singer being released next week.

a bbc investigation has uncovered evidence that workers on world cup—related infrastructure projects in qatar have recently died or suffered abuse, despite assurances that safety standards had improved. new figures from a human rights group back this up — revealing that in the last 12 months there has been a rise in such incidents, with close to 140 reported cases of worker rights violations — nearly 25 of them ending in death. in a statement, the qatar government says it's committed to ensuring the health and safety of workers employed on its projects, and that safety standards have improved. rajini vaidyanathan reports from nepal. the district of dhanusa is in nepal's southeast, 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. anil�*s uncle was one of those who went, but he recently died

in a workplace accident in qatar. translation: many nepalese 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 - in qatar who told us sudesh had died while working. we haven't received any compensation. we just got the dead

body and nothing else. we contacted the company sudesh worked for, but they didn't respond. it's 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 for them to go to, but have also led to more stories of poor working conditions and lax 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. this man 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's unable to walk without a stick. he says he's yet to receive any compensation, but was concerned about safety from day one.

translation: we had to go up and down in the man lift. - i feared i would fall down . while working at such great heights or even die. the project sudesh 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. rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news. well, after what has been a highly controversial and difficult build up to the world cup, the england and wales football teams are both flying out to qatar today ahead of the tournament. it kicks off on sunday, with england and wales matches in just six days' time.

our sports correspondent, andy swiss reports. kids cheer. a noisy sendoff for england's players as a crowd of schoolchildren cheered them from their base in staffordshire and the start of what they hope will be a journey to world cup glory. but before they left, a few final formalities — the official squad photo in their marks & spencer suits, and the announcement of their shirt numbers. a special guest was there to do the honours, the president of the fa, the prince of wales. and after meeting harry kane and his players, he offered a bit of royal support. and in cardiff, there was also a fond farewell for wales as they trained for the final time before heading to qatar. so for youngerfans in particular,

something truly special. for the kids now to be able to have wales, their country, being able to watch them and have the actual kind it'll definitely inspire another generation. other teams have already arrived in qatar. this was the lively welcome for tunisia's players. soon it will be wales and england's turn to make their world cup entrance. andy swiss, bbc news. now, a missing dog has handed herself in to a police station after getting lost out on a walk. rosie, a border collie, became separated from her owner after being upset by a firework. a cctv camera captured the moment she walked through the automatic doors at loughborough police station. phil mackie has been on her trail. if only all missing persons inquiries ended as easily as this. rosie the border collie hadn't been gone long, but her owner was already getting anxious. today, the only hazard
