a result of a severe restrict military condition caused by the mob. his father had repeatedly raised the problem with the housing society. no action was taken. the coroner said his tragic death should be a defining moment this is honestly a tragic case. do tell us what the coroner said. , , case. do tell us what the coroner said. , ., ., ., ., said. just elaborate on what the coroner was _ said. just elaborate on what the coroner was saying. _ said. just elaborate on what the coroner was saying. she - said. just elaborate on what the coroner was saying. she said i l said. just elaborate on what the l coroner was saying. she said i am not alone in thinking how, in the uk in 2020, can a child die from exposure to mould. we heard about deprivation and poverty and the need for more social housing, but the evidence here shows that it is not

just a rochdale problem, that damp and mould is notjust a social housing problem. it is the private sector also. that is why this tragic death should be a defining moment for increasing knowledge and improving processes. the family's solicitor read out statements on behalf of his parents. they were standing next to her when she read it out. 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". (live tail)

we cannot tell you how many health professionals we have cried in front of. we have expressed concern about the conditions we have been living in. we shouted out as loudly as we could, but despite making all those efforts, every night we would be coming back to the same problem. nothing was changing. we felt like we were getting nowhere. often our calls weren't answered. don't feel rochdale borough wide housing cared about us. our�*s coughing fits would sometimes lasted two to three days. sometimes we couldn't take him out of the house. in the house it made his coughing worse. we were absolutely trapped. living in these conditions affected every aspect of our lives. all the time we felt troubled. we were anxious and fearful of what the mould was doing

to our. when friends would come to visit they would tell us that the conditions that rochdale borough white housing was keeping as in were not right. we have no doubt at all that we were treated this way because we are not from this country. we are less aware of how the systems in the uk work. rochdale white housing, we have a message for you. stop discriminating, stop being racist, stop providing unfair treatment to people coming from abroad. stop housing people in homes you know are unfit for human habitation. we were left feeling worthless at the hands of rochdale borough white housing. the second lawyer representing the family said they believed they believe that because they weren't from this country their voices won't hurt, and they were made to feel worthless. it they were made to feel worthless. if rochdale borough white housing ever come across similar issues we hope

claimant's solicitors. what is also striking today is that the coroner was talking about a lack of communication. when you listened to that, you were left wondering if people had communicated better, what difference would that have made. the health visitor raised concerns to rochdale but the 6p wasn't copied in. the 6p was aware of when hour came to the surgery but that wasn't shared with health visitors. in september 2020, the midwife visitors. she completed a special circumstances form to children's services. she highlighted concerns about mould and the potential impact on our�*s health. that wasn't shared with the d6p of the health visitor. there was a gap in information sharing. it wasn't until the 16th of

december 2020 there was any indication that the 6p was aware of any social conditions which may have had an impact on a child's health. that was five days before our shack died. the health visitor raised concerns injuly. that was died. the health visitor raised concerns in july. that was five months before he passed away. the coroner is now intending to write to the minister for housing and the secretary of state for help about strengthening the government's are decent homes standard, to include damp and mould. but our correspondent fiona trott.

mr sunak condemned russia's war in a meeting attended by moscow's foreign minister, sergei lavrov. mr sunak said moscow would "never have a legitimate seat at the table" until it ended the war — and said the conflict put the whole world at risk. opening the summit, the indonesian president warned that "collaboration is badly needed" as the world faces "crisis upon crisis". he said the war in ukraine was affecting food, energy and financial security, and it needed to end. our south—east asia correspondent, jonathan head, sent this report from bali. presidents biden and ping have agreed to tone down mutual hostility, but in a group that includes russia, tackling the war in

ukraine has proved difficult. the 620 heard an impassioned speech by president zelensky by a video link from kyiv, telling them the russian retreat marked a turning point in the conflict. i retreat marked a turning point in the conflict-— retreat marked a turning point in the conflict. . _, . ., , the conflict. i am convinced now is the conflict. i am convinced now is the time when _ the conflict. i am convinced now is the time when the _ the conflict. i am convinced now is the time when the russian - the conflict. i am convinced now is the time when the russian war- the conflict. i am convinced now is l the time when the russian war must be stopped.. the the time when the russian war must he stepped- -— be stopped.. the us and its allies have taken _ be stopped.. the us and its allies have taken a _ be stopped.. the us and its allies have taken a hard _ be stopped.. the us and its allies have taken a hard line _ be stopped.. the us and its allies have taken a hard line against - have taken a hard line against russia. rishi sunak was one of several leaders are putting the blame on mr putin for destabilising the global economy. we highlighted the global economy. we highlighted the ille . ali the global economy. we highlighted the illegality and _ the global economy. we highlighted the illegality and barbaric _ the global economy. we highlighted the illegality and barbaric nature - the illegality and barbaric nature of russia's war, and the devastating impact it is having on people throughout the world through higher food and energy prices.— food and energy prices. everyone here once — food and energy prices. everyone here once the _ food and energy prices. everyone here once the war— food and energy prices. everyone here once the war to _ food and energy prices. everyone here once the war to end, - food and energy prices. everyone here once the war to end, but. here once the war to end, but russia, while willing to get grain supplies moving, offered little else. ~ .,

prime minister, in yourjudgment, how tarnished is the uk's reputation after what's happened this year? obviously our international reputation took a bit of a knock after some of the things that happened more recently, but what i have seen here at the 620 summit in indonesia is an enormous amount of goodwill for the uk to be an active and engaged member of the international community. there's widespread support for what we have done in ukraine and across—the—board, on cop and climate change or how to fix the global economy, these are all issues where we can play a role and people are looking us to do that. for you are putting up taxes and 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 would not expect me to comment on specifics just a couple of days in advance of the autumn statement. but you acknowledge taxes will go up and spending will be cut.

how can you be certain it will work? the number one challenge we face is inflation, and we are not alone in that. it's important we get a grip of that and limit the increase in mortgage rates people are experiencing, and the best way to do that is get a grip of our borrowing levels and have debt on a sustainable basis falling. even if it makes people more poor? other countries are pursuing the same policy. i can reassure people that the way we go about that will have fairness and compassion at the heart of all the decisions and we'll support public services or the economy as required. were there any concerns raised with you about the conduct of dominic raab before you appointed him as deputy? i do not 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.

there is a formal complaints process and that's the important thing people should avail themselves of if they. did anyone or any document raise any concerns about his behaviour at all? | i was not and am not aware of any| formal complaints about dominic's behaviour but i would say if people have concerns, whether about in the individual they should come forward and talk to people. are you saying there is no document and nobody who made informal reference to his conduct? separate to a formal complaint? it is important we have a formal complaints process. did anyone raise anything informally? i don't recognise the - characterisation of dominic's behaviour personally, and i was not and am not aware of any formal complaints about that. rishi sunak talking to our political editor. rishi sunak talking to our political editor. 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 rising 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 biggest drop previously recorded. the figures also showed unemployment has risen slightly. our economics correspondent andy verity reports. this manufacturer in walsall in the black country makes harnesses and cables for ambulances, cars and electric vehicles. it's a growth business thatjust opened its second factory, but it's struggling with the cost of components and raw materials, which has been surging — one of the reasons business is being held back. obviously we need customer support and we work with the customers, but actually we look within, so look at our efficiencies, look at the opportunities we've got to increase output.

and increasing output might mean we only stand still, but actually, in the current climate, that is the best possible outcome. so how is this going? 0k? with much of the world economy slowing, the car makers who make up this company's customers saw a sharp reduction in business, with the manufacturing sector down by 2.3% over the summer — the sharpest drop in overfour decades. all subsectors of manufacturing fell in the quarter three, and that didn't even happen at the height of the pandemic. and actually, you have to go back to the 19805 for the last time that happened, so over 40 years ago. and what they are telling us is they are struggling with price pressures, global supply chains and labour supply. normally, if you enter a recession, that means households and businesses spending less and governments tend to try and offset that by spending more themselves or central banks cut interest rates. but this time, preoccupied with inflation, they're doing the opposite. the government's reining

in its spending and the central bank's raising interest rates. many economists fear that could make this recession worse than it would otherwise be. as the post—brexit uk economy shrank by 0.2% in the third quarter, it began what's forecast to be the longest recession in 100 years — as the only one of the 67 group of advanced economies that still hadn't recovered to its pre—pandemic level. well, according to the international monetary fund, around a third of the world's economy is in recession this year or will be in recession next year. and that is principally, but not entirely because of very high global energy prices. we are not immune to that in the uk and what we need is a plan that shows how we're going to get through this difficult period. the tax giveaways by the conservatives in their last budget caused huge damage, but so have the last 12 years of a stagnant economy with barely any economic growth, so we need to stabilise the economy but then have a plan for growth. what counts in any party's plans

is what the top priority is. if it's to boost the public finances and head off inflation with spending cuts or higher taxes on top of higher interest rates, that may not be compatible with the other aim all parties say they share — to make the recession as short and shallow as possible. 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. the headlines. an inquest finds the death of two—year—old awaab ishak was directly linked to his exposure to mould in his home in rochdale.

the prime minister admits the uk's image has been harmed on the global stage due to the economic fallout of the mini budget. as uk unemployment rises slightly in the three months to september, regular pay falls due to september, regular pay falls due to the cost of living crisis. mps and campaigners have expressed concerns that some of the cuts to public spending in thursday's autumn statement may fall on benefits. the government spends 120—billion pounds on benefit payments each year. millions of disabled people are among those who rely on the income, as 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 perseverence 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, not having the support in place. my biggest fear is 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 another flower? 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. l 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, 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. the leader of the union has called on rishi _ the leader of the union has called on rishi sunak— the leader of the union has called on rishi sunak to _ the leader of the union has called on rishi sunak to reform... -

introduced an independent and transparent process which investigates and makes decisions about allegations of bullying. there are any number of ways it can be conducted. it has to be independent of the prime minister. the best analogy here is what happened in parliament. we had a system where not a single person raised a complaint in five years, but when they conducted an independent investigation hundreds of staff came forward with complaints of bullying and harassment by mps. this is because nobody had confidence in the process where the mps essentially adjudicated on complaints. that is where we are in the civil servant service. nobody has confidence that the prime minister will prioritise civil servants over their interests. how widespread is your understanding of a bullying culture? there how widespread is your understanding of a bullying culture?— of a bullying culture? there are alwa s of a bullying culture? there are always occasions _ of a bullying culture? there are always occasions where - of a bullying culture? there are always occasions where the - of a bullying culture? there are - always occasions where the conduct of a minister goes to the point where chess of a minister goes to the point where ches— of a minister goes to the point where chess staff could raise a concern. where chess staff could raise a concern- it _ where chess staff could raise a concern. it is _ where chess staff could raise a concern. it is a _ where chess staff could raise a concern. it is a tough - where chess staff could raise a concern. it is a tough working | concern. it is a tough working environment. not every minister has

good afternoon. both england and wales are making theirjourneys to the world cup today with the tournament starting in five days' time. with the prospect of their first match at a world cup since 1958 on the horizon, 6areth bale says it still hasn't sunk in they'll be in qatar. they had their final training session in cardiff before heading out later to a tournament that has been engulfed by controversies, which the wales captain admits are difficult to discuss for the players. but he says they will do everything they can to raise awareness. for us as players, we're fully behind and support everything we can do. obviously, ithink behind and support everything we can do. obviously, i think us as footballers, the most we can do is make awareness and it is for people higher up to make those decisions and hopefully make the change for the better, but yeah, we support everything. in terms of the armband, we will be supporting everything and doing as much as we can to hopefully

get change in the right way. england will travel to qatar on a plane called rain bow, reflecting the symbol of l6btq+ pride. the gulf state has been criticised for its beliefs on same sex relationships. 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. the england squad left st george's park this morning in driving rain. the weather didn't deter those young fans who'd come to see them off as they head to temperatures of over 30 celsius. the target of cristiano ronaldo's latest rebuke is the 6lazers, 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 team—mate bruno fernandes of manchester united, of course as they meet up for the world cup. make of it what you will. midfielderjoao mario says it was a joke about bruno being the last to arrive and has been misinterpreted. numerous reports in australia suggest novak djokovic will be allowed to compete injanuary�*s australian open. citing sources close to the country's new federal government, they say djokovic's three—year visa ban will be overturned after their covid vaccine mandate was ended. "in the public interest" earlier this year because he hadn't been vaccinated before arriving in melbourne. he was deported after losing a legal challenge on the eve of this year's tournament. moeen ali hopes he and his england team—mates can convince ben stokes to end his one day international retirement for next year's 50 over world cup in india, when they'll be defending champions. stokes played a key role in the team's t20 success at the weekend, but he won't be part of the team which lines up against australia on thursday in the first of three odi fixtures.

nine of england's line—up from the t20 world cup will be though, and moeen has said the decision to stage the two so close together is "horrible". it is pretty crazy and i know there's a lot of people who will say, you're playing for england and all that, but it's tiring and you always want to give 100%, and sometimes it's not always that easy to do, to turn up, especially after winning the world cup. obviously, the guys will be celebrating, for the guys will be celebrating, for the last couple of days, they will have been doing what they want to do and just chill, then you go straight into a game and at the focus of his late changes onto the three odis and we want to try to win that as well. that's all the sport for now. you can head to the website for all that, including all the snooker updates.

today it's the turn of world number threejudd trump who's taking on xiao 6uodong. that is all on bbc.co.uk/sport. i want to update you with the breaking news we were bringing you in the last ten minutes orso bringing you in the last ten minutes or so because in the last few minutes, the mayor of kyiv, the capital of ukraine, of course, has said two residential buildings had been hit in an attack on ukraine plasma capital. these are the latest pictures we have over the area. it is not yet clear how widespread the damages. or, indeed, how many casualties there are. unconfirmed reports suggest it may have been a cruise missile attack, but i do stress that there was unconfirmed reports. ukrainian forces say their air defence teams have engage targets over the port cities of

mykolaiv and odesa. there are also reports of blasts as far west as lviv and as far east as archive:. this all comes as world leaders discuss —— and as far east as kharkiv. let's return to the pictures you're seeing right now. i can give you a little more detail about is being reported out of care. what we think we are seeing is the mayor of kyiv saying three buildings have been hit in a central district of the ukrainian capital, and he did specify that at please two of those were residential. —— at least a two of those. another ukrainian official has posted video of a five—storey residential building ablaze, and i think these pictures you're watching there with me certainly give you a sense of some of the damage and destruction that has happened there. the mayor of kyiv said air defences

had shut down several missiles, but as i say, the bbc has not been able to independently verify this. from what we are seeing, we are getting reports that russian missile attacks have targeted cities across ukraine from the east to west including the capital, kyiv, and we will bring you more details as they come into it here in the bbc. the global population has hit 8 billion people, according to the united nations. officials chose the 15th november to mark the milestone — though they acknowledge their assessment could be out by a year or even two. the report says the growth rate may now slow, and half of the next billion is expected to come from just eight countries, five of them in africa. our population correspondent stephanie hegarty has more details. the day oishee was born was extra special. she was one of a handful of children

named the world's seven 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 eight 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 many 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 half in the next 50 years. in 1999, adnan mevic was named the world's six billionth baby, by then—un secretary general 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: a 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. let's return to the latest unemployment figures, which show a rise in those out of work within the uk workforce for the three months to september. unemployment now stands at around 3.6% percent, 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 2.796. let's get more on this now with our employment correspondent, zoe conway, who's at eastgate indoor market in gloucester. shejoins us now. afternoon she joins us now. afternoon to you, zoe. she “oins us now. afternoon to you, zoe. , ., ., she “oins us now. afternoon to you, zoe. ,., ., ., ., ., she “oins us now. afternoon to you, zoe. , ., �* she “oins us now. afternoon to you, zoe. _, ., . ., ., �* ., zoe. good afternoon. and that the only indoor — zoe. good afternoon. and that the only indoor market _ zoe. good afternoon. and that the only indoor market here _ zoe. good afternoon. and that the only indoor market here in - zoe. good afternoon. and that the only indoor market here in the - zoe. good afternoon. and that the only indoor market here in the city of gloucester. we have been here all day as part of the bbc�*s cost of living, tackling it together coverage. we have been talking to several of the 30 shops that operate here. they have been here for the last more than 50 years, many of them. they have been telling us about the challenges they have been facing recently. several told me they have not got trading back up to where they were before the pandemic. one woman, in fact, told me she is struggling to pay the rent on her

last year was at the racist abuse hurled at the three england players that miss the penalties in the final, saka, rashford and hasanjoy. better other forms of discriminatory abuse that we see —— and sancho. it is aimed at everyone in football, people who play, watch and work in the game, players at the elite level, through to l6bt fan groups. if you're female pundit, you're liable to even more abuse maybe, being female in public life means it is difficult for you to be able to express an opinion. there is no freedom of speech for you, that is why some people have been hounded off the platforms. in terms of the scale, we see any letter that the last world cup, there were 200 billion social impressions during the last world cup. 1%, an estimate

from fifa, that 1% of all posts related to football are discriminatory abuse. that means if the same kind of engagement is there at this world cup, there will be 2 billion posts, 2 billion views of discriminatory abuse. that equates to, for every second of every minute of every day of the tournament, there will be 800 people every second witnessing abuse. that there will be 800 people every second witnessing abuse. that is an industrial scale _ second witnessing abuse. that is an industrial scale problem. _ second witnessing abuse. that is an industrial scale problem. 0k, - second witnessing abuse. that is an industrial scale problem. ok, so - second witnessing abuse. that is an | industrial scale problem. ok, so the online safety bill is going through parliament. you have written to the prime minister. what else do you want him to do.— prime minister. what else do you want him to do. . , ., want him to do. really, we want them to net it want him to do. really, we want them to get it done. — want him to do. really, we want them to get it done. get _ want him to do. really, we want them to get it done, get its _ want him to do. really, we want them to get it done, get its own _ want him to do. really, we want them to get it done, get its own right - to get it done, get its own right and fast. that is at the simple message. this has been in discussion for probably about five years, but in particular has been stalled for the last six months. we were promised it would come back initially in the autumn, then in october, then in november, and then at by minister's questions last week in response to a direct question, will it come back this year? ——

prime minister but my question is, the response was it will come back as soon as possible. what we are fearful of is the government will run out of time because at this bill if it does not pass in the session of parliament cannot be held over until the next one because it has already been rolled over once and you cannot roll it over twice. really, in effect, they have to get a lords in the next few weeks and months because it has to clear the lords by the end of april. so we are asking them to be clear on what, if any, amendments are going to made so all of us can look at those and to be comfortable that not only is it dealing with legal content, but it is dealing with this kind of content which is not illegal but which is harmful —— not only is it dealing with illegal content, but dealing with illegal content, but dealing with this kind of content which is not illegal but harmful. and give users the right to choose the types of information we see. you might have freedom of speech in the real world, but you do not have the

freedom to force someone to heed it. you have that right online and why should you have that right online are not in the real world? we want clarification that that and other measures will be retained in the bill. ~ , ., ., ., �* measures will be retained in the bill. ~ ., ., �* ., bill. while you wait for the bill to come into force _ bill. while you wait for the bill to come into force are _ bill. while you wait for the bill to come into force are not _ bill. while you wait for the bill to come into force are not as - bill. while you wait for the bill to come into force are not as you i bill. while you wait for the bill to i come into force are not as you have just described, you have also written to the new head of twitter and also to the head of metal, as it is now called, formerly facebook. —— meta. what can they do and how realistic is it they will do anything? 6iven i have heard these sorts of pleas many times and i know you have made them before as well? and we have to keep going with these pleas until they do things. the fact is that regulation is coming, whether we go first or the eu goes first with the digital services act. many other countries around the world, and this is the irony, many other countries around the world are copping what we have been trying to do with the online safety bill, but

are actually going to get on the statute book first, so in effect, it may be that those social media companies are there to generate systems that help them to comply with our law because they will comply with german, french law, someone. i think what we want to say to them is that the digital services act and the online safety bill are coming, you do not need to wait. elon musk on the day he acquired twitter said he did not want twitter to become some free for all hellscape and wanted users to have the experience and that they wanted to have online. that emitter is what the online safety bill says about users having their own safeguards and user empowerment provisions —— that mirrors what the online safety bill says. we are asking both elon musk and mark zuckerberg when are we going to have that technology that will give us a safe experience we want online, when will it be made available? �* ., ., . ., .,

this area, so that is not much recourse people have invested the company? there is a 5—6 billion dollars hole in the finances of ftx, and it seems at this stage, this is where the bankruptcy people to come in under the asset update, but it seems if you have money in ftx, it is likely it has gone forever, with as many any bank will be backed up to a certain extent by the government, but not for crypto exchanges. let government, but not for crypto exchanges-— government, but not for crypto exchanaes. , ~ ., �* , exchanges. let us know if there's an more exchanges. let us know if there's any more updates _ exchanges. let us know if there's any more updates from _ exchanges. let us know if there's any more updates from his - exchanges. let us know if there's| any more updates from his twitter account. thank you very much. now, a missing dog has handed herself into a police station after getting lost out on a walk. rosie, the 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 on steve harper's walk with rosie was the rain, but on november ath, it was fireworks. they had come to her favourite park, there were a series of loud bangs and rosie ran off. after a frantic search, steve's wife rang to say rosie had handed herself in at the nearby police station. she was calm once she'd gone in. once she was inside, she wasn't frightened of the bangs, so she just sat down calmly. i've seen that on the cctv clip. she just sat down waiting? that's right, just sat down waiting. why did she go to the police station, i wonder? well... ..probably because it was somewhere safe, really. on duty that night was fiona lacey, happily reunited with rosie this morning. hi! you get all kinds wandering into a police station. do you often get a dog wandering in? no! it's the first time i've seen a dog wander in that's lost. and she's become very famous.

the whole thing has gone crazy, hasn't it? it has, it has, and what a lovely dog she is as well. rosie is happy, and her story has had a paw—fect ending. phil mackie, bbc news, loughborough. fill in your own cliches! now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith lucas. hello. we've seen some fairly heavy bursts of rain today and blustery winds too. most of the rain starting to clear away from the east coast, but we've got plenty more heavy showers moving in from the west. this was the scene in dawlish in devon a little bit earlier on, so some rainbows to see out the day. for the next few days, this theme continues — low pressure bringing us fairly blustery conditions with rain around at times. we've got this weather front here that brought most of that rain today, which is pushing away from the east, but is still lingering across parts of north—east scotland, particularly up towards the northern isles, where it's also going to be really windy for the remainder of the day. in fact, gusts of wind here could reach close to 60 mph. for the rest of the uk,

clearer spells and a scattering of heavy showers rolling in from the south—west. some of them heavy and thundery. 6usts of wind for most of us about 20 mph, but closes to 60 mph into the evening hours across the far north—east of scotland. temperatures at five o'clock starting to dip down into single figures. lowest in the west where we've got those clearer skies. but overnight, what you'll see is the cloud and rain clearing away from most eastern areas, just sitting up towards the northern isles. further heavy and potentially thundery showers rattling in for northern ireland, wales and southern england, with the winds also picking up through the english channel. most of us frost—free, but under clear skies for central scotland and north—east england, there could just be a touch of frost first thing wednesday morning. so, wednesday, a day of sunny spells and scattered showers. heavy showers and some thunderstorms initially in the south. but then we've got this next area of heavy rain and strong squally winds moving into the south—west of england and south wales later in the afternoon. 9—13 celsius our top temperature on wednesday, so a little more typical of the time of year compared to the very mild weather we've seen recently. and then as we head through wednesday night

into thursday morning, here's that area of low pressure moving across the uk. ahead of that, strong winds once again across scotland persistent rain driving in. could be some flooding impacts here. sunny intervals and scattered showers once again. feeling very autumnal. blustery and showery on thursday. and temperatures a little bit milder than wednesday. highs between ten and 13 degrees. looking ahead towards the end of the week, friday and saturday, higher pressure building, things looking a little drier, maybe even some frost overnight. turning more unsettled again later in the weekend.

this is bbc news. the headlines: a new wave of russian missiles strike the ukrainian capital, kyiv damaging residential buildings near the city centre and across the country. an inquest finds the death of two—year—old awaab ishak was directly linked to his exposure to mould in his home in rochdale — 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. the prime minister admits the uk's image has been harmed on the global satge due to the economic fallout of the mini—budget.

i'v e i've seen an enormous amount of goodwill. as uk unemployment rises slightly in the three months to september — regular pay falls due to the cost of living crisis. a global milestone — as the world's population passes 8 billion people. welcome to bbc news. russia has launched a barrage of missiles at targets across ukraine, just hours after the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky, appealed to 620 leaders meeting in bali to help him end the invasion of his country. the mayor of kyiv, vitaliy klitschko, said three buildings had been hit in a central

district of the ukrainian capital, specifying that at least two of these were residential. another ukrainian official posted video of a five— storey residential building ablaze. the mayor said air defences had shot down several missiles. at least half of the capital is now without electricity. ukrainian air defences have also engaged targets over the port cities of mykolaiv, where there have been several waves of attacks, odesa and elsewhere. explosions have been reported in the city of lviv in western ukraine. the authorities are warning people to stay in bomb shelters. earlier our correspondent in kyiv, catherine byaruhanga spoke to my colleague, maryam moshiri after taking shelter in an underground car park. we've had to come down to the shelter of our hotel because about

concerns to rochdale housing, but the gp concerns to rochdale housing, but the 6p wasn't copied in. the 6p was aware of when awaab came to the surgery but that wasn't shared with health visitors. in september 2020 the health visitor visited and she completed a special circumstances form. she highlighted concerns about mould and the potential impact on our�*s health. this was not shared with the 6p our�*s health. this was not shared with the gp or the health visitor. the coroner said she was satisfied there was an gap in information sharing. it wasn't until the 16th of december 2020 that there is any indication the 6p was aware of any social conditions which may have been having an impact on a child's health. that date was five days before awaab ishak died. the health visitor raised concerns injuly, five months before he passed away.

the coroner is now intending to write to the ministry for housing and the secretary of state for help about strengthening the government's decent homes standard to include damp and mould. that was our correspondent. joining us now is poly neat. the coroner talks about this being a defining moment for the housing sector. what should change as a result of this death? isn’t as a result of this death? isn't this 'ust as a result of this death? isn't this just the — as a result of this death? isn't this just the most _ as a result of this death? isn't thisjust the most awful- as a result of this death? isn�*t this just the most awful and distressing case. it should be a defining moment. one would have hoped five years ago that the 6renville tower fire would have been a defining moment, but it appears not to have been. i am... words fail

me. it is the absolute basics of tenant's rights, tenant's voice, and housing providers listening to tenants and taking their concerns on board, and taking action. it is quite basic what needs to change. we have the social housing regulation bill going through parliament now, which is a positive step. we hope that will become law early in the new year. that will introduce, ofsted style inspections of housing associations and social housing. this is a positive step because this will lead to much better enforcement of standards. it is worth saying that standards aren't only in the social housing sector. there are more properties in the private

rented sector that also have basically unliveable standards that families and individuals are forced to endure. the government must bring forward its renters reform bill as well, so private sector tenants also enjoy a level of rights and just the basic right to a decent home. there are things that are already happening and those are positive. there is only one other thing that i need to say, which is that, to be fair to housing associations and providers, they are being forced to choose between enforcing proper standards and getting homes up to net zero standards, and also building the new social homes that the country desperately needs. there are well over 1 the country desperately needs. there are well over1 million people on the social housing waiting list. as well as the social housing regulation bill, which is happening,

afterfive regulation bill, which is happening, after five years regulation bill, which is happening, afterfive years since regulation bill, which is happening, after five years since 6ren fell, but we need to see proper investment in the new social homes of a high standard that the country desperately needs. standard that the country deseratel needs. ., desperately needs. rochdale housing, who was in charge _ desperately needs. rochdale housing, who was in charge of _ desperately needs. rochdale housing, who was in charge of this _ desperately needs. rochdale housing, who was in charge of this property, i who was in charge of this property, said they allowed a legal disrepair process, widely used in the sector, to get in the way of promptly tackling the mould in this property. in other words, policy seemed to stop repairs happening. how can that be the case? i stop repairs happening. how can that be the case?— be the case? i can't really comment on this individual— be the case? i can't really comment on this individual case _ be the case? i can't really comment on this individual case because i i on this individual case because i don't know the detail of what went on. i would say that if a housing provider is properly listening to its tenants concerns, then that should not happen. what needs to

happen is that housing providers are understanding what their tenants are experiencing, listening to it and acting upon it. no process should get in the way of that. also to go back to the social housing regulation bill, if we did have these ofsted style inspections of social housing property, then that would automatically bring this sort of thing to light, and mean that this process issue wouldn't arise. i think the fundamental point is about listening to tenants, hearing their concerns and acting upon them. that should have been the lesson of 6renfell and has definitely got to be the legacy of this tragic case. chief executive of shelter, thank you for your time. joining us now is the labour mp clive betts, chair of the labour mp clive betts, chair of the levelling up housing and communities committee. thank you for joining us. we know the coroner in

this case has written to the government. we don't know what is in that letter. what do you think she should be saying that needs to be done? i should be saying that needs to be done? .., , , ., done? i completely agree with poll 's done? i completely agree with polly's interview. _ done? i completely agree with polly's interview. shelter i done? i completely agree with polly's interview. shelter was | done? i completely agree with i polly's interview. shelter was one of the witnesses we called in and evidence session we used in a report about the regulation of social housing. we concluded that, first of all, and that is what the coroner may be saying, there needs to be better processes for repairs by providers. there needs to be proper complaints process is when something goes wrong, so they are addressed properly in an organisation with somebody independent looking at them. all too often local authorities and housing association complaints processes aren't fit for purpose. importantly, as well as the

housing regulator, we need the resources. housing associations and councils simply can't do everything they have to do with getting homes energy efficient, zero carbon, with at the same time carrying out major repair works that are needed on some older estates, and building the new homes that people need who are on the waiting list. they can't do it all and the government has to address this fundamental disconnect with what is needed and what is available. ., with what is needed and what is available. . ., , with what is needed and what is available. . . , , available. there are laws in place, and the regulatory _ available. there are laws in place, and the regulatory bill— available. there are laws in place, and the regulatory bill going i and the regulatory bill going through government at the moment. do you think there needs to be greater penalties for landlords, and if so, what should they be?— penalties for landlords, and if so, what should they be? certainly the social housing _ what should they be? certainly the social housing regulator _ what should they be? certainly the social housing regulator or - what should they be? certainly the social housing regulator or to i what should they be? certainly the social housing regulator or to use i social housing regulator or to use all its powers. individually every

housing provider should do an inspection of its property, and that often doesn't happen. the first time attendance reports a repair shouldn't be the first time that a housing provider knows of problem. this is something that needs to be addressed at the individual provider level, the housing provider and council level, and the regulator doing those proactive inspections, and then penalising authorities, certainly strongly worded them if they don't change their practices and then penalising them. on individual complaints, if they go to the housing ombudsman, they can be awarded compensation against the landlord, forfailure to awarded compensation against the landlord, for failure to carry out repairs in a timely way and... i would encourage the housing ombudsman to use these powers and housing associations and councils can be pushed into giving

compensation in these cases on an individual basis. as mps we have all experienced this. {litre individual basis. as mps we have all experienced this.— experienced this. clive betts, good to talk to you- _ experienced this. clive betts, good to talk to you. just _ experienced this. clive betts, good to talk to you. just hours _ experienced this. clive betts, good to talk to you. just hours after i experienced this. clive betts, good to talk to you. just hours after the | to talk to you. just hours after the ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky appealed to leaders to help in the invasion of his country. what more details do you have? one erson has what more details do you have? que: person has been confirmed dead in

the attack on kyiv. the ukrainian national energy company is starting emergency measures to disconnect customers from the energy grid because it has been so severely damaged. the mayor of kyiv has said that half of the ukrainian capital is now without electricity. that means they don't have running water as well and as nights get longer and colder this is really bad news for ukrainians. today's wave of missile attack is is on a truly massive scale, targeting cities right across ukraine from the east to lviv in the west. also from

the north and to address in the south. i am seeing lots of messages from various mayors across ukraine, telling residents to stay sheltered, because apparently the attack is still going on. the impact of it, we can only assess it later, but given that it seems to be on the scale of what happened on the 10th of october, when about a third of ukraine's energy infrastructure was destroyed or severely damaged. it seems that the impact of this attack todayis seems that the impact of this attack today is going to be devastating. just to reconfirm, their last summer reported as far west as lviv and as

far east as kharkiv. a series of attacks across the country targeting many different areas. to return to what you are saying about the attack on the capital city of keith, where you are saying you had had confirmation that one person had died and half of the ukrainian capital is without electricity, what more do we know about the buildings that were targeted in that attack. with a civilians inside them. i that were targeted in that attack. with a civilians inside them. i know one building _ with a civilians inside them. i know one building very _ with a civilians inside them. i know one building very well, _ with a civilians inside them. i know one building very well, which i with a civilians inside them. i know one building very well, which is i one building very well, which is where a colleague of mine from our kyiv office used to live. i am looking at a picture of a huge, gaping hole in the side of that building, with smoke and flames coming out. it is a five story residential building. as far as i know there is nothing military in the area at all. we can't

confidently say that that building was deliberately targeted. i have seen suggestions that it was damaged by the... shot down by... the mayor of kyiv said that at least one other high rise building was also damaged in the ukrainian capital, but we don't know the scale of that attack or if anyone was killed there. various local authorities are saying that they are working hard to establish the damage caused by this attack and whether any people were killed. the primary target seems to be ukraine's energy infrastructure, as far as they have been able to gather, at least half of ukraine is now without electricity or

experiencing difficulties with electricity. i'm seeing video clips posted by ukrainians can see lights flashing in their flats and itjust adds to the general feel of apprehension and concern in ukraine. as far as i know, nobody no opinion formers have called for ukraine to end negotiations with russia because of this. on the contrary ukrainians seem to be defiant and one opinion i have seen expressed frequently as they asked there are no negotiations with russia after what they have done to us. with russia after what they have done to us— with russia after what they have doneto us. ., ,, done to us. thank you, as you say this is a developing _ done to us. thank you, as you say this is a developing situation i done to us. thank you, as you say this is a developing situation and l done to us. thank you, as you sayj this is a developing situation and i know we will bring us more details. two county councils are warning the

government they could face bankruptcy unless they get urgent financial help. leaders of kent and hampshire county council say they need a fundamental change in the way things like adults and children's social care are funded. it comes amid speculation the government could allow councils to raise council tax. we can speak to rob whiteman, chief executive of the chartered institute of public finance and accountancy, and expert in councilfunding. thank you finance and accountancy, and expert in council funding. thank you for joining us. how close to bankruptcy do you think these two councils, perhaps others or our?- do you think these two councils, perhaps others or our? when the likes of hampshire _ perhaps others or our? when the likes of hampshire and _ perhaps others or our? when the likes of hampshire and kent i perhaps others or our? when the likes of hampshire and kent arel likes of hampshire and kent are saying they could run out of money in two years, you really know there is a problem for the local government sector. these are not councils that generally cry wolf or say they are about to run out of money, so itjust shows you how

serious the position is for councils up serious the position is for councils up and down the country. what has caused the holes in their budgets? there is inflation in the economy, and the cost of council services are going up by 10% or more. there are wage pressures, but also there are shortages of staff and so that is leading to even greater pay pressures, where sometimes people have to to buy in agency staff or source these services in another way. then, on top of that, what compounds the problem, the demand pressures. after covid, we see that the amount of demand for services for adult social care, for children's social care, these have gone up considerably. when you add the two together, people are demanding more service and those services are more expensive to run.

just to stand still, councils are still looking at 15, 16, 20%just to stand still in terms of the pressures they face. if stand still in terms of the pressures they face. if they do declare themselves _ pressures they face. if they do declare themselves bankrupt, | pressures they face. if they do i declare themselves bankrupt, what does that mean for people living in those areas?— does that mean for people living in those areas? there is a short-term issue and a — those areas? there is a short-term issue and a longer— those areas? there is a short-term issue and a longer term _ those areas? there is a short-term issue and a longer term issue. in i issue and a longer term issue. in the short—term, bylaw councils have to have a qualified accountant is the director of finance. there is quite a tough regime for councils, and the of finance has to serve a notice on the council. that freezes expenditure for a number of weeks while the council responds to the fact that they can't balance their books. short—term people will still get vital services but the council can't take on new commitments. in the medium or longer term, the problem then faced by the council is

how to balance the books. that usually means cutting back on services, which of course the public are demanding ever more. it is not an attractive position, not for the council, north of the residents. we know spending cuts are on the way and in the autumn statement on thursday it seemed unlikely that local government will experience a big hand—out to help itself. there is talk of lifting the cap on the amount of that council tax can be raised? how much would that help? get a mac it does help. it is difficult for councils. in the last year or so, 85% of councils put up their council tax by the maximum allowed. about half of councils then put up the council tax by a bit more for a social care precept. of course

that does help, but councils know that does help, but councils know that during a cost of living crisis, it is quite difficult to put up the council tax. this is a double—edged sword for the council. they need the money but they know that the average council tax for your viewers in the north—east is £2100, or people watching from london it is £1700. they worry about putting up the council tax by the maximum allowed, because of the impact it could have on the cost of living. where the government has some discretion, in that it can play around with income tax and personal allowances, or it can change the tax bands for higher pay, councils can't do that. there is a uniform percentage increase across the bands. the bands represent higher income in some way. we assume that people living in bigger houses have higher income. but it is a blunter tool on all

layers of income, than say when the government puts up income tax, and can decide how it wants to apply that. councils are mindful of the impact it could have on their residence, even though they need the money that the council tax increase will give them. really good to talk to you, thank you. now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith lucas. hello. our spell of unsettled, wet and windy november weather is set to continue for another few days yet. low pressure in charge of things at the moment. the current area of low pressure out towards the north—west of the uk. but this trailing weather front has been tracking its way eastwards through the course of the day. we will continue to see that rain clearing away from the east coast, sitting up towards north—east scotland, particularly the northern isles, where it's going to be really windy into the evening hours. elsewhere, clear spells but also plenty of showers rattling in through this evening and tonight, particularly affecting northern ireland, wales, parts of southern england as well. there could be some thunderstorms

with some of these blustery showers. lowest temperatures overnight will be for north—east england and central parts of scotland, where there could be a touch of frost. most of us frost—free, breezy to start wednesday, especially windy up towards shetland through the day. some heavy showers and some thunderstorms in the south. they clear away and the next area of rain pushes into the south—west later in the day. the winds are going to pick up too, and top temperatures between around 9 to 13 degrees, more typical of the time of year. 6oodbye. sport now, and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here's hugh. good afternoon. with the qatar world cup now just five days away, the fifa president has called for a ceasefire in ukraine for the duration of the month—long tournament. 6ianni infantino has addressed world leaders at the 620 summit in bali and while admitting that football can't solve the world's problems, 6ianni infantino has addressed world leaders at the 620 summit in bali he insisted in comments before

today's developments in the conflict that the world's leaders have the ability to influence the course of history. this particular world cup with a 5 billion people watching it can be the triggerfor a billion people watching it can be the trigger for a positive gesture, for a sign or message of hope. my plea to all of you is to think on a temporary ceasefire for one month for the duration of the world cup, or at least the implementation of some humanitarian corridors, or anything that could lead to the resumption of dialogue as a first step to peace. meanwhile, 6areth bale insists that while it's difficult for players to speak out on the many controversies that have engulfed the lead up to the world cup, they can raise awareness. both he and england catpain harry kane will be wearing the one love armband during the tournament. wales had their final training session in cardiff before heading out for what is their first world cup since 1958 — a fact that bale says

still hasn't sunk in. aaron ramsey says he is pinching himself about it. england will travel to qatar on a plane called rain bow, reflecting the symbol of l6btq+ pride. the gulf state has been criticised for its beliefs on same—sex relationships. 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. well, the england squad left st george's park this morning in driving rain. the weather didn't deter those young fans who'd come to see them off as they head to temperatures of over 30 celsius. the target of cristiano ronaldo's latest rebuke is the 6lazers, 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. it is with portugal team—mate bruno fernandes of manchester united, of course, as they meet up for the world cup.

make of it what you will. midfielderjoao mario says it was a joke about bruno being the last to arrive and has been misinterpreted. it has been confirmed that craig richards is leaving his role as coach of england's women's rugby team. he had been anyjob 2017 and at the rfl say they will replace a monthly tournament is over. —— replace him once at the tournament is over. rory mcilroy says greg norman is standing in the way of any chance of liv golf and the sport's established tour ending the sport's big civil war, claiming he needs to "exit stage left". norman is the commissioner of the breakaway series and the world number one who's in dubai for the final event of the dp world tour. greg norman must quit as commissioner

of the breakaway liv tour to end the "stalemate" in golf�*s acrimonious civil war, that's according to rory mcilroy. i think 6reg needs to go, he has made his mark but i think now is the time to say, you have got this off the ground, but no one is going to talk unless there is an adult in the room that can actually try to mend fences. reminder that coverage of the uk snooker championship takes place across the bbc. it is a trump, the world be messy, trailing at the moment by three hype needed to get to —— the world number three trailing at the moment. five have been won in favour of mesoscale. follow on bbc iplayer.

rishi sunak has admitted the uk's reputation was damaged by liz truss's mini budget in september. the prime minister said tax rises and spending cuts in thursday's autumn statement are needed to reduce rising inflation and uk public debt. but mr sunak said decisions would be taken in a "fair" way, and everyone would benefit from reduced debt levels. he was speaking to our political editor chris mason on the sidelines of the summit in bali. prime minister, in yourjudgment, how tarnished is the uk's reputation after what's happened this year? 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 active and engaged member of the international community. there's widespread support for what we've done in ukraine and across the board, whether it's on on cop

whether it's on cop and climate change or how to fix the global economy, these are all issues where we can play a role and people are looking us to do that. you are putting up taxes and 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 taxes will go up and spending will be cut. so how can you be certain it will work? -- it —— it will not make things worse? the number one challenge we face is inflation, and we're not alone in that. it's important that we get a grip of that and limit the increase in mortgage rates that people are experiencing, at the best way to do that is get a grip of our borrowing levels and have our debt, on a sustainable basis, falling... even if it makes people more poor? that's something we are not alone in doing, other countries are pursuing the same policy. but i can reassure people that the way we will go about that will have fairness and compassion

at the heart of all the decisions and we'll, of course, always do our best to support 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 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... there is a formal complaints process and that's the important thing people should avail themselves of if they... did anyone or any document raise any concerns about his behaviour at all? i was not and am not aware of any formal complaints about dominic's behaviour, but i would say if people have concerns, whether it's about any individual, they should come forward and talk to people about those. are you saying there is no document and nobody who made informal reference to his conduct, separate to a formal complaint? but i think it is important we have a formal complaints process... did anyone raise

anything informally? i don't recognise the characterisation of dominic's behaviour personally, and i was not and am not aware of any formal complaints about that. the prime minister they're speaking to our political in bali. 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 rising 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 biggest drop previously recorded. the figures also showed unemployment has risen slightly. our economics correspondent andy verity reports. this manufacturer in walsall

in the black country makes harnesses and cables for ambulances, cars and electric vehicles. it's a growth business thatjust opened its second factory, but it's struggling with the cost of components and raw materials, which has been surging — one of the reasons business is being held back. obviously we need customer support and we work with the customers, but actually we look within, so look at our efficiencies, look at the opportunities we've got to increase output. and increasing output might mean we only stand still, but actually, in the current climate, that is the best possible outcome. so how is this going? 0k? with much of the world economy slowing, the car makers who make up this company's customers saw a sharp reduction in business, with the manufacturing sector down by 2.3% over the summer — the sharpest drop in overfour decades. all subsectors of manufacturing fell in the quarter three, and that didn't even happen at the height of the pandemic. and actually, you have to go back to the 19805 for the last time that happened, so over a0 years ago. and what they are telling us is they are struggling

with price pressures, global supply chains and labour supply. normally, if you enter a recession, that means households and businesses spending less and governments tend to try and offset that by spending more themselves or central banks cut interest rates. but this time, preoccupied with inflation, they're doing the opposite. the government's reining in its spending and the central bank's raising interest rates. many economists fear that could make this recession worse than it would otherwise be. as the post—brexit uk economy shrank by 0.2% in the third quarter, it began what's forecast to be the longest recession in 100 years — as the only one of the 67 group of advanced economies that still hadn't recovered to its pre—pandemic level. well, according to the international monetary fund, around a third of the world's economy is in recession this year or will be in recession next year. and that is principally, but not entirely because of very high global energy prices. we are not immune to that in the uk and what we need is a plan that

shows how we're going to get through this difficult period. the tax giveaways by the conservatives in their last budget caused huge damage, but so have the last 12 years of a stagnant economy with barely any economic growth, so we need to stabilise the economy but then have a plan for growth. what counts in any party's plans is what the top priority is. if it's to boost the public finances and head off inflation with spending cuts or higher taxes on top of higher interest rates, that may not be compatible with the other aim all parties say they share — to make the recession as short and shallow as possible. andy verratti reporting. apologies if some of that report seemed a little out of date —— andy verity.

go to the bbc news website,, bbc.co.uk/news, in our cost of living tackling together series, there is a lot of extra information. there may be some announcements that the government will scrap the cap, limiting annual council tax rises to 2.99% plus 1% for social care. we will know more on thursday, but lots of useful information on our website, so do go there. it is helpful. a bbc investigation has discovered evidence that workers on world cup related infrastructure projects in qatar have recently died or suffered abuse, despite assurances 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 1a0 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 dhanusha is in nepal's southeast, 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. 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.

biltu mandal 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. sitesh 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 sitesh had died while working. we haven't received any compensation. we just got the dead body and nothing else. we contacted the company sitesh 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. sathees vilagasaram 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 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 i while working at such great heights or even die.

the project sathees was working on told us they can't comment on individual cases, but that any incident that happens rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news, dhanusha, nepal. the global population is hit 8 billion, though they say their estimate may be out later too. a population corresponded stephanie hegarty has more details. the day oishee was born was extra special. she was one of a handful of children named the world's seven billionth baby by the un. translation: the whole world saw me when i was born. i

look now, you've come to see me. 11 years later, the world's population has hit eight 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 many 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 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 half in the next 50 years. in 1999, adnan mevic was named the world's six billionth baby, by then—un secretary general kofi annan. translation: other kids had birthday parties. i 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: a 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.

and a lighter study, a missing dog handed herself into a police station. a cctv camera capture the moment she walked through the doors after running off when frightened by after running off when frightened by a firework. 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 on steve harper's walk with rosie was the rain, but on november ath, it was fireworks. they had come to her favourite park, there were a series of loud bangs and rosie ran off. after a frantic search, steve's wife rang to say rosie had handed herself in at the nearby police station. she was calm once she'd gone in. once she was inside, she wasn't frightened of the bangs, so she just sat down calmly.

i've seen that on the cctv clip. she just sat down waiting? that's right, just sat down waiting. why did she go to the police station, i wonder? well... ..probably because it was somewhere safe, really. on duty that night was fiona lacey, happily reunited with rosie this morning. hi! you get all kinds wandering into a police station. do you often get a dog wandering in? no! it's the first time i've seen a dog wander in that's lost. and she's become very famous. the whole thing has gone crazy, hasn't it? it has, it has, and what a lovely dog she is as well. rosie is happy, and her story has had a paw—fect ending. phil mackie, bbc news, loughborough. now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith lucas. hello. our spell of unsettled, wet and windy november weather is set to continue for another few days yet. low pressure in charge of things at the moment. the current area of low pressure out towards the north—west of the uk,

but this trailing weather front has been tracking its way eastwards through the course of the day. so we will continue to see that rain clearing away from the east coast, sitting up towards north—east scotland, particularly northern ireland, wales, parts of southern england as well. there could be some thunderstorms with some of these blustery showers. lowest temperatures overnight will be for north—east england and central parts of scotland, where there could be a touch of frost. most of us frost—free, breezy to start wednesday, especially windy up towards shetland through the day. some heavy showers and some thunderstorms in the south. they clear away and the next area of rain pushes into the south—west later in the day. the winds are going to pick up too, and top temperatures between around 9 to 13 degrees, more typical of the time of year. 6oodbye.

iam i am rebecca jones the headlines. a new wave of russian missiles strike the ukrainian capital, kyiv damaging residential buildings near the city centre and across the country. an inquest finds the death of two—year—old awaab ishak was directly linked to his exposure to mould in his home in rochdale — the family's solicitor read a statement on their behalf. when iweb died our lives changed forever. today two years on the coroner has found our little guys prolonged exposure to mould led to his death. the prime minister admits the uk's image has been harmed on the global stage due to the economic fallout of the mini budget.

obviously our international reputation took a bit of a knock as a result of some of the things that happens recently. what i've seen here at the 620 summit is an enormous amount of goodwill. as uk unemployment rises slightly in the three months to september — regular pay falls due to the cost of living crisis a global milestone — as the world's population passes eight billion people russia has launched a barrage of missiles at targets across ukraine, just hours after the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky, appealed to 620 leaders meeting in bali to help him end the invasion of his country. the mayor of kyiv, vitaliy klitschko, said three

buildings had been hit in a central district of the ukrainian capital, specifying that at least two of these were residential. another ukrainian official posted video of a five— storey residential building ablaze. the mayor said air defences had shot down several missiles. ukrainian air defences have also engaged targets over the port cities of mykolaiv, where there have been several waves of attacks, odesa and elsewhere. explosions have been reported in the city of lviv in western ukraine. the authorities are warning people to stay in bomb shelters. the violation he give us this update on the situation. the latest i've seen is that one person has been confirmed dead in the attack on

kyiv. the ukrainian national energy company has also said it is beginning emergency measures to disconnect customers from the energy grid because it's been so severely damage. to give an example how bad things are. the mayor of kyiv has said that half of the ukrainian capital is not without electricity. and that means that they don't have running water as well as nights get longer and colder. this is really bad news for ukrainians. now, today's wave of missile attacks is on a truly massive scale will stop targeting cities right across ukraine was up from the east to the west which is unusual. and also the

north and south. i am seeing lots of messages from various mayors across ukraine selling residents of their cities to stay sheltered because apparently the attack is still going on. and the impact of it is going to be. we can only assess it later, but given that it seems to be on the scale of what's happening on the 10th of october. when about a third of ukraine's energy infrastructure was destroyed or severely damaged. it seems that the impact of this attack today is going to be truly devastating. 50 attack today is going to be truly devastating-— devastating. so vitali 'ust to reconfirm * devastating. so vitali 'ust to reconfirm there i devastating. so vitali 'ust to reconfirm there were i devastating. so vitali just to reconfirm there were last i devastating. so vitali just to i reconfirm there were last reported as far west as lviv and a series

attacks across the country targeting many different areas and cities. to return to what you are saying about the attack on the capital city of kyiv that you had confirmation that one person had died. and that half of the ukrainian capital is without electricity. what more do we know about the buildings that were targeted in that attack? what were they to libyans inside them? be; it they to libyans inside them? as it ha ens. they to libyans inside them? as it happens- i— they to libyans inside them? as it happens- i know _ they to libyans inside them? as it happens. i know one _ they to libyans inside them? sip: it happens. i know one building very well. which is where a colleague of mine from our kyiv office used to live in kyiv. i'm just looking at the picture of a huge, gaping hole in the sight of that building. wood smoke and flames coming out. it's a five story residential building. as far a note there is nothing military in the area at all. but we can

confidently say that the building was deliberately targeted. i see some suggestions it was damaged by the russian missile that was shut down by ukrainian air defence. now, the mayor of kyiv said that at least one other high—rise building was also damaged in the ukrainian capital. we don't know the scale of that attack or if anyone was killed there. various local authorities across ukraine are saying they are working hard to establish the damage caused by this attack and whether any people were killed. the primary target seems to be ukraine's energy infrastructure. as far as i've been able to gather. at least, almost, i should say, half of ukraine is

without electricity. or is experiencing difficulties with electricity. i see video clips posted by ukrainians where you can see the lights flashing in their flats. and just as to the general feel of apprehension and concern in ukraine. but as far as i know, nobody who matters, or no opinion leaders have called for ukraine to enter negotiations with russia because of this. on the contrary, ukrainians seem to be defiant for some and one opinion i've seen expressed frequently is no indication incidents with russia after what they done to us. that was bbc's vitali fish — after what they done to us. that was bbc's vitali fish and _ after what they done to us. that was bbc's vitali fish and go _ after what they done to us. that was bbc's vitali fish and go talk- after what they done to us. that was bbc's vitali fish and go talk with i bbc's vitali fish and go talk with us. we arejoined now by bbc

ukraine's victoria jahan is in kyiv. victoria i wonder if you can vigorous the very latest information about what you have from where you are? i, , i, i, i, are? hide the latest information i can share comes _ are? hide the latest information i can share comes from _ are? hide the latest information i can share comes from ukrainian l can share comes from ukrainian officials because i have been in a shelter over three hours now because the aerial raid is across the whole country. it has been nonstop for three hours. what we have heard from president zelensky is that russia has already fired 85 you missiles to ukraine and more are in the air. which makes this attack more intense than the one that happens on october ten. ukraine's energy minister recently posted information that he believes this has been the most widespread attack on ukraine's energy infrastructure. {lila widespread attack on ukraine's energy infrastructure.- widespread attack on ukraine's energy infrastructure. ok, i think that is worth _ energy infrastructure. ok, i think that is worth her _ energy infrastructure. ok, i think that is worth her speech - energy infrastructure. ok, i think that is worth her speech and - energy infrastructure. 0k, ithink- that is worth her speech and because that's news we didn't know. there have been 85 missiles shot from

russia and even more in the year and this is an even more intense attack than the attack in october. again, ukraine being attacked from the east to the west of the country and including the capital of kyiv where you are. what more do we know about those targets that have been hit in the capital?— the capital? during the first of hours i've _ the capital? during the first of hours i've been _ the capital? during the first of hours i've been receiving - the capital? during the first of - hours i've been receiving multiple reports about energy infrastructure and critical infrastructure being hit in different regions of ukraine. the offices of the president of the ukraine said an hour ago that the north and centre of ukraine have been hit the most. but this information, by now might even be outdated. we also know that one person died after rublev fell on residential building. we also heard from the mayor that one person was

wounded. but as rescue services keep working, we know that told me grow. yes, agencies are reporting that the ukrainian presidential official has called the situation and critical. i wondered, victoria what you mean of the timing of the attack coming as they do after condemnation of russia at the 620 summit in body. ukrainian officials have — at the 620 summit in body. ukrainian officials have been _ at the 620 summit in body. ukrainian officials have been warning _ at the 620 summit in body. ukrainian officials have been warning that - officials have been warning that november, 15th and 16 may be another day of massive attack. and now people, regular citizens reacting to today's attack say. well ok we have been we warned and ok we get such a confirmation. they have been many voices in ukraine saying that this just confirms that the world shouldn't shush russia and putin. that russia continues its strategy

of spitting in face of the world community. when it hits ukraine during 620 stop then at the same time saying they want negotiations. viktoria in kyiv thank you for now. i think it's worth reminding what viktoria was saying stop and updating you on the statement from the president warning that they could face more strikes today after a wave of attacks. viktoria was saying there have been at least 85 missiles aimed at ukraine today. but the president saying the country will survive. i know that missile strikes cut off energy in many places. we are working. we will store everything. we will survive. he said in a video posted online. more on that developing story as we get it. 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 problem 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". the coroner is going to write to the government about the case. labour mp clive betts chairs parliament's levelling up, housing and communities committee — which recently completed a report about the regulation of social housing. i asked him what he thought might be in the coroner's letter: (betts sot this is what the coroner might be seen to the government there me better repairs in the first place. there needs to be proper complaints process when something goes wrong.

so that those problems are just properly in that organisation with someone dependable. but all too often local authorities and housing association was some and then very importantly as well as the oversight we need the resources because housing associations and concerts simply can't do everything that they have to do. with getting the homes at an efficient and net zero position at the same time caring out there work that they need on some older states as well as the new homes that people that need that are in the which in this. they can't do it all and government needs to address that fundamental disconnect between what is needed and what is available. i, i, , , available. there are laws in place and paul eaton _ available. there are laws in place and paul eaton was _ available. there are laws in place and paul eaton was talking - available. there are laws in place and paul eaton was talking aboutj available. there are laws in place - and paul eaton was talking about the solution housing regulator who bills thatis solution housing regulator who bills that is going through parliament at

award composition against the landlord. for failure to carry out repairs in a timely way. and we see what dampness can do to the decorations and furnishings and fittings in a property. so those powers are there now and i would encourage that much since he use them. also constance can be pushed or given a position on an individual cases as well. members of the committee with more experience have been pushing the case for tenants as well. i, i, , , been pushing the case for tenants as well. i, ii, , �* , been pushing the case for tenants as well. i, i, , , �* , i, ~' well. that was clyde betts talking to me a little _ well. that was clyde betts talking to me a little earlier. _ the headlines on bbc news... a new wave of russian missiles strike the ukrainian capital, kyiv damaging residential buildings near the city centre and across the country. an inquest finds the death of two—year—old awaab ishak was directly linked to his exposure to mould in his home in rochdale — the family's solicitor read a statement on their behalf. the prime minister admits the uk's image has been harmed on the global stage due to the economic fallout

of the mini budget. two county councils are warning the government they could face "bankruptcy" unless they get urgent financial help. the leaders of kent and hampshire county councils say they need a fundamental change in the way things like adult and children's social care are funded. it comes amid speculation the government could allow councils to raise council tax significantly. councillor rob humby is the conservative leader of hampshire county council. he says his council is secure for the next two years — but will run out of money after that. we have been making savings over the last ten to 12 years. we have taken millions upon sort of the budget. we have seen the impact of that. but what we are in a position now. what we really need is a fundamental

review of how local authorities are funded. it's not fit for purpose at the moment. we need to sit down and have talked with the government about how we can review how we are funded. i can't say, right now how that will affect individuals. but clearly the pressures from adults in social care. �* clearly the pressures from adults in social care-— clearly the pressures from adults in social care. and that was counsellor rob humvee- _ from the london scool of economics(os let's come onto funding in a moment. but how surprised are you that these two particular councils have issued this morning? i two particular councils have issued this morning?— this morning? i think both the warnin: this morning? i think both the warning and — this morning? i think both the warning and the _ this morning? i think both the warning and the weight - this morning? i think both the warning and the weight was i this morning? i think both the - warning and the weight was written by two leading conservatives. they are leaders of these big councils, cans and hampshire something they are without a doubt conservative grandees. and there are lots of

conservative mps in the south of england who will be lifting with great inference at the start warning. if this income from the midlands or north of england it would be easy to say all this is labour politicians. these are senior conservatives in the most important part of the country from the governments part of fuel. they obviously got _ governments part of fuel. they obviously got holes _ governments part of fuel. they obviously got holes in - governments part of fuel. they obviously got holes in their- obviously got holes in their budgets. this explains or viewers. if they were to declare themselves bankrupt with that would that mean? in the meat and. they don't quite go bankrupt. the weight consul finances work. there's day—to—day spending and your current spending. the consult income must match its expenditure. the problem comes for consul given that they have statuary duties was up things that they must do. that end and in the course of the year at the root realise the cost of their services, children's

services cost for older peoples and lower libraries and so forth. if they don't have the x income to meet that. then they are required, and the senior officers, has to get the conflict to effectively cut its budget meteor. they don't technically go bankrupt. what does happen is you end up with big service cuts unexpectedly. i'm afraid this will begin to affect children and adults social care. which of course is very hole prideful when things go wrong. haifa prideful when things go wrong. how much of outcomes is budget is spent on adult and social care? presumably a lot. for consul— on adult and social care? presumably a lot. for consul as _ on adult and social care? presumably a lot. for consul as its _ on adult and social care? presumably a lot. for consul as its 60 _ on adult and social care? presumably a lot. for consul as its 60 to - on adult and social care? presumably a lot. for consul as its 60 to 70%. i a lot. for consul as its 60 to 70%. it's a big chunk. forfor the london versus a lower share of their spending. counties in particular feel exposed. they don't have such big reserves by the way as district

councils. they feel particularly exposed. it's worth remembering that consul budgets today are, on average, 20% or more lower, in real terms after inflation and they were backin terms after inflation and they were back in 2010. an interest spending over that period has gone up by 20% or more. the pressures consuls are under is greater than many other parts of the public sector. it under is greater than many other parts of the public sector. if as ou parts of the public sector. if as you outline _ parts of the public sector. if as you outline or— parts of the public sector. if as you outline or a _ parts of the public sector. if as you outline or a consuls - parts of the public sector. if as you outline or a consuls outgoings are going up. where is the income that they need going to come from? it typically comes from consul tax. there's been a certain amount in the press today about whether the company is going to government is going to allow hired consul tax increases. they get government money through grants and business rates. the government controls all of that for every consul. consuls have a bit of discussion at the margin if they have cash in the bank reserves but other than that the government

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 rising 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 biggest drop previously recorded. the figures also showed 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 years. here, they've boosted pay by 5% and they're offering grants and loans to help staff cope with the soaring cost of living. i think going into this year having just dealt with covid, it was really quite a nervous time knowing, do i dare take meter but i think having the support from the business and having that pay rise has just sort of lightened the load a little bit and made it a little more comfortable.

with unemployment at 3.6%, private sector wages are up by an average of 6.6% as business owners compete with each other to attract and retain the staff they need, another cost on top of higher energy bills and interest rates. we all know how utilities have gone up, 200% for us as a business. our green bean costs have gone up 25%. there's wage inflation that we're talking about now and all the consumables that have gone up between 10—15%. throw that all into the mix and yes, we've got some tricky decisions to make. even the biggest pay rises in years aren't enough to keep up with prices. after allowing for inflation, it's one of the biggest falls in real incomes on record. pay rises in the public sector averaged only a third of what they are in the private sector, closing the gap between private and public sector pay. this is a particular problem now, with inflation above 10%. public sector workers are falling further and further behind in real terms pay than their private—sector counterparts. teaching information technology and computing at the arc 6lobe academy in south london, michael kolawole

got a 5% rise, higher than many other public sector professionals, as schools compete to hire the skilled teachers they need. i see myself in a lot of those kids. i grew up as a child who was eligible for free meals and i try to be the teacher that i wish i had. i do have peers, i've got several who have stayed in the profession, but i do have people who've thought they want to move into the private sector. my message, really, is to make sure if you want to see the best teachers coming into schools, then the pay needs to also reflect that. aggravating the recruitment crisis in both the public and private sector is a rise of half a million since 2019 in the number of people who are economically inactive, meaning neither working nor looking for work because of long—term sickness. most of that increase has taken place since the pandemic struck. andy verity, bbc news. let's get more on this now with our employment correspondent, zoe conway, who's at eastgate indoor market in gloucester.

we follow the declaration of five separate results last night. meanwhile, of course, we have a big announcement to come tonight from donald trump at mara lago. yes. donald trump at mara lago. yes, indeed all eyes _ donald trump at mara lago. yes, indeed all eyes on _ donald trump at mara lago. yes, indeed all eyes on donald - donald trump at mara lago. yes, indeed all eyes on donald trump and what he's going to say. pare indeed all eyes on donald trump and what he's going to say.— indeed all eyes on donald trump and what he's going to say. are we ended the wiser? well, _ what he's going to say. are we ended the wiser? well, it's _ what he's going to say. are we ended the wiser? well, it's widely _ the wiser? well, it's widely expected to be the launch of trump 24. this is a man who delights in the hyperbole republic? this is a very big announcement. he said it is perhaps the most important speech that would be given in the usa will stop this is an announcement that donald trump, by all accounts, desperately wanted to make before the midterm elections. he held for rallies in the space of five days leading up to the polls last tuesday. and he was desperately wanting to make this announcement, apparently, in dayton ohio on the

eve of the midterm elections. he was persuaded to hold off. the compromise reached with those who wanted them to hold off was that he would basically made an announcement about making an announcement which is what he did. and that i'm announcement would come tonight. there were some and his party would like them to hold off even further. because vital senate runoff in three weeks' time. in which trump endorsed candidate mr walker is in a very tight race with his democratic opponent. but there's one thing government trump hates is looking weak. and blessed morning announcements and that would make him look precisely that. id�*dfld announcements and that would make him look precisely that.— him look precisely that. david no doubt will be _ him look precisely that. david no doubt will be talking _ him look precisely that. david no doubt will be talking to - him look precisely that. david no doubt will be talking to you - him look precisely that. david no | doubt will be talking to you later. good to talk to you. now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah. hello. our spell of unsettled wet and windy november weather is set to continue for a number of days.

low pressure in the charge of things currently at the moment. this current area of low pressure out towards the west of the uk. but this weather front tracking eastwards through the course of the day. that rain will clear away from the east coast, sitting up towards north—east scotland. it would be really windy in the evening hours. elsewhere, clearer spells but also plenty of showers through this evening into tonight. particularly, affecting wales, northern ireland, parts of southern england as well. the next day of rain the south early in the day. top temperatures between 9-13 in the day. top temperatures between 9—13 celsius. more typical of the time of year. by buy. hello, this is bbc news with rebecca jones. the headlines:

a new wave of russian missiles strike the ukrainian capital, kyiv, damaging residential buildings near the city centre and across the country. an inquest finds the death of two—year—old awaab ishak was directly linked to his exposure to mould in his home in rochdale. the prime minister admits the uk's image has been harmed on the global stage due to the economic fallout of the mini budget. as uk unemployment rises slightly in the three months to september, regular pay falls due to the cost of living crisis. a global milestone — as the world's population passes eight billion people. let's cross back to hugh, who has all the sport. i believe the england team are going to cross —— arriving to qatar now?

yes, if 6areth bale admitted yesterday the fact that wales are heading off for theirfirst world cup since 1958 hadn't sunk in yet, perhaps it has now they're in the air travelling to qatar. these are pictures of the team getring ready to board their flight from cardiff after their final training session in the capital earlier today with just six days until their opening match against the usa. so many legendary welsh players have been and gone since they last qualified in 1958, and one of them has sent the current team a good luck wish. 1958 was the last time we have qualified, you have done absolutely magnificent to qualify for this world cup. you have put wales on the world map, we are so proud of you, so when you get to qatar, make sure we stay there for as long as we can. 6ood we stay there for as long as we can. good luck! with the qatar world cup now

just five days away, the fifa president has called for a ceasefire in ukraine for the duration of the month—long tournament. 6ianni infantino has addressed world leaders at the 620 summit in bali and while admitting that football can't solve the world's problems, he insisted in comments before today's developments in the conflict, that the world's leaders have the ability to influence the course of history. this particular woke up at 5 billion people watching it can be the trigger for the positive gesture. for a sign or a message of hope. my plea to all of you is to think on a temporary ceasefire for one month for the duration of the world cup or, at least, the implementation of some humanitarian corridors are anything that could lead to the resumption of dialogue as a first step to peace. the target of cristiano ronaldo's latest rebuke is the 6lazers, 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. make of it what you will. midfielderjoao mario sez it was a joke about bruno being the last to arrive and has been misinterpreted. it's been confirmed that craig richards is leaving his role as head coach of england women's rugby league team after they were knocked out of the world cup. richards broke down in tears during a press conference following the defeat to new zealand in their semi final last night. he'd been in the job since 2017 and the rfl say they'll replace him once the tournament is over. rory mcilroy says greg norman is standing in the way of any chance of liv golf and the sport's established tours ending the battle between the two, claiming he needs

to "exit stage left". norman is the commissioner of the breakaway series, and the world number one who's in dubai for the final event of the dp world tour has been an outspoken voice against it and him. although mcilroy wants a solution, he understands there are ongoing legal issues that prevent that from happening immediately. there are a few things that need to happen on the liv side, clegg needs to go. he has made his mark, but now time to go —— 6reg needs to go. no one is going to talk unless there is an adult in any room that can actually try to amend fences. the uk snooker championship continues across the bbc on the website. judd trump and xiao 6uodong

to stay in bomb shelters. vitaly shevchenko, russia editor for bbc monitoring gave me this update on the situation. the latest i've seen is that one person has been confirmed dead in the attack on kyiv. the ukrainian national energy company has also said that it's beginning emergency measures to disconnect customers from the energy grid because it's been so severely damaged. and to give an example of how bad things are, the mayor of kyiv, vitali klitschko, has said that half of the ukrainian capital is now without electricity and that means that they don't have running water as well, and as nights gets longer and colder, this is really bad news for ukrainians. now, today's a wave of missile attacks is on a truly massive scale, targeting cities right across ukraine, from kharkiv in the east to lviv in the very west, which is unusual, and also from the north and to odesa in the south.

i'm seeing lots of messages from various mayors across ukraine telling residents of their cities to stay sheltered because apparently the attack is still going on and the impact of it is going to be... we can only assess it later. but given that it seems to be on the scale of what happened on 10th october, when about a third of ukraine's energy infrastructure was destroyed or severely damaged, it seems that the impact of this attack today is going to be truly devastating.

yes. so, vitali, just to reconfirm there, a blast reported as far west as lviv and as far east as kyiv. as you said, a series of attacks across the country targeting many different areas and cities. to return to what you were saying about the attack on the capital city of kyiv, where you were saying that you had had confirmation that one person had died and that half of the ukrainian capital is without electricity — what more do we know about the buildings that were targeted in that attack and were they civilians inside them? well, as it happens, i know one building very well, which is where a colleague of mine from our kyiv office used to live in kyiv. and i'm just looking at a picture of a huge gaping hole in the side of that building with smoke and flames coming out. it's a five—storey residential building. as far as i know, there's nothing

military in the area at all, but we can't confidently say that that building was deliberately targeted. i've seen suggestions that it was damaged by the russian missile that was shot down by ukrainian air defence. now, the mayor of kyiv, vitali klitschko, said that at least one other high—rise building was also damaged in the ukrainian capital. but we don't know the scale of that attack or if anyone was killed there. various local authorities across ukraine are saying that they are working hard to establish the damage caused by this attack and whether any people were killed. but the primary target seems to be ukraine's energy infrastructure as far as i've been able to gather at least, oralmost,

i should say, half of ukraine is now without electricity or is experiencing difficulties with electricity. i'm seeing video clips posted by ukrainians where you can see lights flashing in their flats and itjust adds to the general feel of apprehension and concern in ukraine. but as far as i know, nobody who matters or no opinion leaders, opinion formers have called for ukraine to enter negotiations with russia because of this. on the contrary, ukrainians seem to be defiand, and one opinion i've seen express very frequently, they're saying, you know, no negotiations with russia after what they've done to us. vitaly shevchenko, our colleague from bbc monitoring there. rishi sunak has admitted the uk's reputation was damaged by liz truss's mini budget in september. the prime minister said tax rises and spending cuts

in thursday's autumn statement are needed to reduce rising inflation and uk public debt. but mr sunak said decisions would be taken in a "fair" way and everyone would benefit from reduced debt levels. he was speaking to our political editor chris mason on the sidelines of the summit in bali. prime minister, in yourjudgement, how tarnished is the uk's reputation after what's happened this year? 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 active and engaged member of the international community. there's widespread support for what we've done in ukraine and across the board, whether it's on on cop and climate change or, indeed, how to fix the global economy. these are all issues where we can play a role and people are looking us to do that.

you are putting up taxes and 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 taxes will go up and spending will be cut. how can you be certain it won't make it worse? the number one challenge we face is inflation, and we're not alone in that. it's important that we get a grip of that and limit the increase in mortgage rates that people are experiencing, and the best way to do that is get a grip of our borrowing levels and have our debt, on a sustainable basis, falling... even if it makes people more poor? that's something we are not alone in doing, other countries are pursuing the same policy. but i can reassure people that the way we go about that will have fairness and compassion at the heart of all the decisions and we'll, of course, always do our best to support 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. there is a formal complaints process and that's the important thing people should avail themselves of if they have concerns. did anyone or any document raise any concerns about his behaviour at all? i was not and am not aware of any formal complaints about dominic's behaviour, but i would say if people have concerns, whether it's about any individual, they should come forward and talk to people. are you saying there is no document and nobody who made informal reference to his conduct, separate to a formal complaint? it is important we have a formal complaints process... did anyone raise anything informally? i don't recognise the characterisation of dominic's behaviour personally, and i was not and am not aware of any formal complaints about that.

the prime minister they are talking to our political editor. the former environment secretary, 6eorge eustice, has strongly criticised the uk's post—brexit trade deal with australia, as well as liz truss's role in negotiating it mr eustice, who was sacked when ms truss became prime minister told mps the deal wasn't a very good one for the uk. he accused the government of giving far too much away "for far too little in return". i no longer have to put such a positive gloss on what was agreed, and i hope that my honourable friend will understand my reason for doing this. and that is that unless we recognise the failures that the department for international trade made during the australia negotiations, we won't be able to learn the lessons for future negotiations. and there are critical negotiations under way right now, notably on cptpp and on canada, and it is essential that the department for international trade does not repeat the mistakes it made.

and so the first step is to recognise that the australia trade deal is not actually a very good dealfor the uk. it wasn't for lack of trying on my part. more potential headaches for the new owner of twitter, elon musk. 6roupm, a top international media buying agency, is reported to be telling clients that buying adverts on the social platform is now "high risk". let's speak to the technology journalist chris stokel—walker. why high risk? what is this company concerned about?— concerned about? advertisers of all es are concerned about? advertisers of all types are concerned _ concerned about? advertisers of all types are concerned about - concerned about? advertisers of all types are concerned about what - types are concerned about what twitter now looks like. we have seen elon musk now getting rid of half of the company's 7500 employees, including those in trust and safety and content moderation, which is ensuring that the stuff we see on the platform is a safe or all of us to watch. now that they have gone

and also a huge number of contractors who are in charge of looking at and monitoring that content, i think advertisers are beginning to think, well, is this actually the wild west or a place where we can advertise our wear? if they are not certain of that, they worry about the impact it has on what is called their brand equity, their standing amongst the general public. the ultimate nightmare, i think, is if they see an advert for their product alongside something thatis their product alongside something that is wholly unpalatable to the average person. just that is wholly unpalatable to the average person.— that is wholly unpalatable to the average person. just to be clear, chris, average person. just to be clear, chris. are _ average person. just to be clear, chris. are you — average person. just to be clear, chris, are you saying _ average person. just to be clear, chris, are you saying this - average person. just to be clear, chris, are you saying this is - chris, are you saying this is because either a large number of twitter executives have left or been sacked, many of them actually on the platform itself announcing they had been sacked, that theyjust —— there are just not the people to moderate the content there their online? is this the crux of this the crux of yes, i spoke to a this morning who was in charge of content moderation who said their team had been absolutely destroyed. the?r who said their team had been absolutely destroyed. they had huge concerns about _ absolutely destroyed. they had huge concerns about the _ absolutely destroyed. they had huge concerns about the impact _ absolutely destroyed. they had huge concerns about the impact it - absolutely destroyed. they had huge concerns about the impact it would l concerns about the impact it would

have. they also pointed out, actually, since elon musk�*s takeover, this idea behind his takeover, this idea behind his takeover that twitter would become a much more lax platform in terms of what he describes as a free speech, which some have potentially described as hate speech for some people, it might make some people feel marginalised, it will increase abusive messages being reported. it does things together and we see why advertisers are holding their cash from twitter because they cannot be trusted that it is safe. how much is twitter reliant on advertising? it is not necessarily reliant on advertising but a huge amount. what advertising but a huge amount. what is noticeable — advertising but a huge amount. what is noticeable that _ advertising but a huge amount. what is noticeable that this is elon musk is noticeable that this is elon musk is trying to change the way that twitter essentially functions in terms of its finance.— twitter essentially functions in terms of its finance. they didn't rely before _ terms of its finance. they didn't rely before he _ terms of its finance. they didn't rely before he took— terms of its finance. they didn't rely before he took over - terms of its finance. they didn't rely before he took over in - rely before he took over in advertising for a decent chunk of their income, but now they are trying to pivot to getting users to pay in order to use twitter, a

subscription service called twitter blue where you pay $8 a month gives you different features which is being rolled out, but that has seen very little uptake so far and i don't think that will make up any shortfall in advertising revenue we will see. ~ i, i, ~' shortfall in advertising revenue we will see. ~ i, i, ~ i, will see. what do you think elon musk will make _ will see. what do you think elon musk will make of _ will see. what do you think elon musk will make of this - will see. what do you think elon| musk will make of this shortfall? has there been any comment from him? we know he is very, very focused on trying to drive down costs. that is partly why he got rid of 50% of staff and trying to say something like $3 million a day from twitter�*s it infrastructure, so i think he will be concerned that one of twitter�*s rear sources of revenue is starting to dwindle quite significantly because ultimately, he paid $44 billion for this and we often overlook that, it was actually overpriced compared to what the market was valuing twitter that. he wants to recoup his losses in some way because he is a businessman. just a more broad question to end, how do you see the future of twitter? can it survive? i how do you see the future of twitter? can it survive? ithink it can survive _ twitter? can it survive? ithink it can survive and _ twitter? can it survive? ithink it can survive and i _ twitter? can it survive? ithink it can survive and i think _ twitter? can it survive? ithink it can survive and i think that - twitter? can it survive? ithink it can survive and i think that we i

twitter? can it survive? i think it. can survive and i think that we are in a very turbulent phase at the minute and it is very rash to jump to conclusions. we are seeing a complete root and branch overhaul of the platform in mass cosmic image and with that comes some pretty discomforting changes, but i think that musk has to eventually admit reality and his plans as he edges them are not feasible, so we had to compromise and ultimately we will too, and we will see some of those years that abandon twitter in the early days of his takeover starting to come back —— some of those users that abandon twitter. to come back -- some of those users that abandon twitter.— that abandon twitter. interesting times ahead- _ that abandon twitter. interesting times ahead. chris, _ that abandon twitter. interesting times ahead. chris, good - that abandon twitter. interesting times ahead. chris, good to - that abandon twitter. interesting times ahead. chris, good to talk| that abandon twitter. interesting l times ahead. chris, good to talk to you, many thanks. the global population has hit eight billion people, according to the united nations. officials chose 15th november to mark the milestone — though they acknowledge their assessment could be out by a year, even two. the report says the growth rate may now slow, and half of the next billion is expected to come from just eight countries, five of them in africa. our population correspondent stephanie hegarty has more details.

inevitable! that is it from me at the moment, reeta will be here with all the headlines from 5pm. now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith lucas. hello. we've seen some fairly heavy bursts of rain today and blustery winds too. most of the rain starting to clear away from the east coast, but we've got plenty more heavy showers moving in from the west. this was the scene in dawlish in devon a little bit earlier on, so some rainbows to see out the day. for the next few days, this theme continues — low pressure bringing us fairly blustery conditions with rain around at times. we've got this weather front here that brought most of that rain today, which is pushing away from the east, but is still lingering across parts of north—east scotland, particularly up towards the northern isles, where it's also going to be really windy for the remainder of the day. in fact, gusts of wind here could reach close to 60 mph. for the rest of the uk, clearer spells and a scattering of heavy showers rolling in from the south—west. some of them heavy and thundery. 6usts of wind for most of us about 20 mph, but closes to 60 mph into the evening hours

across the far north—east of scotland. temperatures at five o'clock starting to dip down into single figures. lowest in the west where we've got those clearer skies. but overnight, what you'll see is the cloud and rain clearing away from most eastern areas, just sitting up towards the northern isles. further heavy and potentially thundery showers rattling in for northern ireland, wales and southern england, with the winds also picking up through the english channel. most of us frost—free, but under clear skies for central scotland and north—east england, there could just be a touch of frost first thing wednesday morning. so, wednesday, a day of sunny spells and scattered showers. heavy showers and some thunderstorms initially in the south. they ease away. a few or so for parts of western and southern scotland, but then we've got this next area of heavy rain and strong squally winds moving into the south—west of england and south wales later in the afternoon. 9—13 celsius our top temperature on wednesday, so a little more typical of the time of year compared to the very mild weather we've seen recently. and then as we head through wednesday night into thursday, here's that area of low pressure slowly pushing northwards and eastwards across the uk. ahead of that, some strong winds once again across scotland and really persistent rain driving in for eastern scotland. could be some flooding impacts here.

blustery, showery on thursday, and temperatures perhaps a little bit milder than wednesday, so we're looking at highs between around 10—13 celsius. looking ahead, though, towards the end of the week — friday into saturday, then, higher pressure builds, so things looking a little bit drier, perhaps even some frost around overnight. but things turn more unsettled again later in the weekend, bye—bye.
