toa to a new side that is open to a new face, certainly there is a lot of attention as your correspondent said towards one desantis and we're starting to see some early polling numbers on that race suggesting that one desantis would be the favourite at this point. you mention the popularity of donald trump with republican base. what about the niche group of senior republicans, those in congress and centre —— senate to hold a lot power over the party? it is interesting that you say they hold a lot of the power but, it'll be interesting to see what kevin mccarthy does this week. does he not want to come out and be aggressive and putting blame towards the president because he thinks he needs the support to be speaker in a few months? john mchenry, republican _ in a few months? john mchenry, republican pollster— republican pollster in virginia. thank you for making the time. bringing in another

voice. i'm joined now by a scott bolden, attorney and former chair of the dc democratic party. thank you for being with us. you are more on the democrat camp, is this a bad news for the democrats? it camp, is this a bad news for the democrats?— the democrats? it is bad for america but _ the democrats? it is bad for america but certainly - the democrats? it is bad for america but certainly greatl the democrats? it is bad for i america but certainly great for a democrats. we have defeated donald trump three times. these midterms, his re—election effort and the polling has shown that the shrine of donald trump is not as shiny as it once was four years ago and that 50% of the republican party was certainly consider another voice. party was certainly consider anothervoice. donald party was certainly consider another voice. donald trump, the surprise tonight was how restrained he was, and he was certainly restrained, he gave a speech versus a rally. this is an individual who is under federal, state and criminal investigation in regard to taking documents from the white house, in regard to the sedition list who overran the capital at his urging ——

sedition lists. his view of the world is what he shared tonight. there is another view of the world that the democrats and voters, independence, don't want the noise, don't want the distraction and don't want the offensive nature of the president. the big difference now, —— the former president. the big difference now is america has lived with four years of donald trump. it is not projected anymore, it is history now. we know what we're going to get and it is a pretty picture which is why he could not beat biden two years ago, while there will probably be several people in the republican primary and for the democrats and have the best of america fewer republicans get in so they can beat him. more republicans get in, the more likely he will get the validation because he has got a solid 40% so we just have to

watch and see what the republicans do who are rejecting him verbally, and politically right now, because of the mid—term results but they have rejected him before verbally and fallen into line. the power of donald trump is the voters, that is a0%. it doesn't align with the other party leaders. doesn't align with the other party leaders-_ doesn't align with the other party leaders. thank you very much for _ party leaders. thank you very much for your _ party leaders. thank you very much for your insights. - party leaders. thank you very much for your insights. in - much for your insights. in other news. 620 discussions focused on ukraine on tuesday, but they were overshadowed by the confict itself. there are reports that two people in poland, a nato country, were killed by missiles in a village close to the border with ukraine. it comes as russian forces launched a wave of missile strikes across wide areas of ukraine. they particularly targeted power stations in one of the biggest co—ordinated attacks by russia since the start of the conflict. ukraine's public broadcaster reported the strikes had targeted kyiv

and the wider region, as well as kharkiv, poltava, mykolaiv, dnipro, lviv, cherkassy, odesa, and chernihiv. the strikes come after russian forces retreated from kherson, and the west bank of the dnipro river last week. that was seen as a major win for ukraine. let's get this report from our international editor jeremy bowen, who's in odesa in southern ukraine. in the hours after the missiles hit, it wasn't clear whether the deadly events just inside the polish border were a deliberate attack or something else. perhaps a targeting error or a missile malfunction. russian's defence ministry denied any involvement, calling it a deliberate provocation aimed at escalation. poland's national security council went into emergency session. the poles are coordinating with nato. working out exactly what happened is vital. the north atlantic treaty says an attack on one member is an attack on the whole alliance.

translation: because of the seriousness of the situation i that we're dealing with, the president has just finished a conversation with the nato secretary—general. we are verifying the circumstances under which we might invoke article 4. it follows a day of missile attacks on ukraine, one of the biggest since the war began. there were strikes across the country — this was kyiv. most of ukraine's major cities were hit. attacking the infrastructure of the city is a common tactic in war, trying to pressure a government by making the lives of civilians hard. translation: i am against the war and people have - to remember that you can't give life back. those children who will never see their parents again, the children who will never be born — a generation is being lost. ukraine's president zelensky

called for action. translation: firing missiles is a russian attack _ on collective security and a very significant escalation. we must act. i want to say now to our polish brothers and sisters, we stand with you. free people will not be broken by terror. this evening in kyiv, emergency services were still at work. what happened here and across the country and what seems to have been a deadly leakage of the war into poland amounts to a challenge of the highest order for western leaders. they need exact details and, if necessary, an appropriate response. in kyiv, civilians were dealing with russia's traumatic reminder that nowhere is really safe. the attacks on ukraine come a day after president zelensky went to kherson to celebrate its recapture.

he declared that defeat here was the beginning of the end for russia in ukraine. the triumphant visit to kherson was followed by severe diplomatic condemnation of russia at the 620 meeting. russia's answer, more likely by design than coincidence, was the day of missile strikes. jeremy bowen, bbc news, odesa. in the last few minutes, us presidentjoe biden has spoken about the incident in poland. we agreed to support pollen poles investigation into the attack near the poland border. we need to make sure that we work out what has happened. apparently two people were killed and then we will collectively determine the next step as we investigate and foresee if there was total anonymity between the folks at the table. we will also discuss the table. we will also discuss the latest series of russian missile attacks which are continuing the brutality as they have demonstrated in this war against ukrainian cities

and civilian infrastructures. they have been totally unconscionable, what they are doing, totally unconscionable. an urging deescalation, russia continues to escalate in ukraine. there were scores and scores of attacks, missile attacks, in western ukraine. we support ukraine fully in this moment and we have since the start of this conflict and will continue to do whatever it takes to give them the capacity to defend themselves. be willin: to defend themselves. be willing to _ to defend themselves. be willing to say whether this missile _ willing to say whether this missile was fired from russia? there — missile was fired from russia? there is— missile was fired from russia? there is information that contests that. i don't want to say that until we completely investigate but it is... it is unlikely in the minds of the trajectory that it was fired from russia but we will see.

our north america correspondent, david willis has been following this story and hejoins me now from washington dc. good to see you. there has been comment on this issue in pollen from various nato leaders but of course when it comes to the nato club, the mighty muscle in the room is the united states. what has been the reaction in washington?— what has been the reaction in washinrton? ~ ., ., washington? well i have to say, over the last _ washington? well i have to say, over the last few _ washington? well i have to say, over the last few hours - washington? well i have to say, over the last few hours there - over the last few hours there has been a lot of concern and questions asked about this incident on the polish ukraine border and president biden appears to have laid some of that concern to rest with the sort of comments that we just heard. he had briefed members of the g7 and the eu behind closed doors at the g20 summit in bali and as you heard there, he said it was unlikely that the missile that killed two people just over the border in poland was fired from russia.

he was basing this on a telephone conversation he had with president duda of poland and also a separate conversation with the nato secretary generaljens stoltenberg. poland has identified this missile as potentially russian—made although it has been fairly cautious, even about that. and as to its origin, well, thatmade all part of this investigation, it remains to be seen, but if indeed this is a russian missile, it would be the first time since the invasion of ukraine that a russian weapon has come down on nato territory and obviously still a lot of questions about this incident remain answered —— remain unanswered. divisions over the conflict in ukraine overshadowed the first full day of talks in bali between leaders of the g20 summit. a draft communique said most g20 members condemned moscow's war. agreement on a final statement

will be complicated by russian objections, and the reluctance of some other g20 members to single out moscow for blame. the russian foreign minister, sergei lavrov left the summit after criticising western nations for what he described as the "politicisation" of the g20 declaration, and just as a barrage of missiles hit ukraine. at the g20 summit in bali, president biden met president xi of china in the first face to face talks. to assess the importance of the talks, we can speak to james carouso, senior advisor, at the center for strategic and international studies. thank you for making the time for us. what do you make between this meeting between president biden and president xi? , , , president biden and president xi? , ,, ., xi? despite the most important thin , xi? despite the most important thing. certainly _ xi? despite the most important thing, certainly from _ xi? despite the most important thing, certainly from president | thing, certainly from president biden was my point of view, the goal is to set guide rails around the relationship even the recent tension around

taiwan. it was important that we understand what each other�*s redlines are and we establish communications again. there has been a real— communications again. there has been a real push _ communications again. there has been a real push by _ communications again. there has been a real push by the _ communications again. there has been a real push by the us - communications again. there has been a real push by the us to - been a real push by the us to improve relations with china and no doubt this meeting will go some towards that. how well is that project going? i go some towards that. how well is that project going?— is that pro'ect going? i think president — is that project going? i think president xi _ is that project going? i think president xi got _ is that project going? i think president xi got what - is that project going? i think president xi got what he - is that project going? i think- president xi got what he wanted in terms of unequivocal statement that the united states continues to recognise the one china policy. the president biden it was the meeting and agreement to start talks again on climate change, pandemic health and energy with china, so both sides got a little bit of what they wanted. it was interesting, the trade issues not apparently discussed or if they were discussed we're hearing about it. xyou or if they were discussed we're hearing about it. you mentioned the one china _ hearing about it. you mentioned the one china policy _ hearing about it. you mentioned the one china policy but - hearing about it. you mentioned the one china policy but the - hearing about it. you mentioned the one china policy but the us. the one china policy but the us starts towards —— stance towards taiwan hasn't shifted and is not likely to shift.

president xi not putting against an open door here. what might xijinping be looking against an open door here. what might xi jinping be looking for from president biden? that might xi jinping be looking for from president biden?- might xi jinping be looking for from president biden? that is a aood from president biden? that is a good question. _ from president biden? that is a good question, but _ from president biden? that is a good question, but at _ from president biden? that is a good question, but at the - good question, but at the moment i think he is trying to also reset the relationship on also reset the relationship on a more even keel even the economic problems they are currently in china, as well as trying to deal with things like ukraine and having a good face of china as a peacemaker amidst the countries of asean.- the countries of asean. there are various — the countries of asean. there are various issues _ the countries of asean. there are various issues that - the countries of asean. there are various issues that the - the countries of asean. there are various issues that the us | are various issues that the us and china can commit the conflict over, whether it is ukraine and trade. what are some of the issues that they can work together on? certainly climate change _ can work together on? certainly climate change is _ can work together on? certainly climate change is number - can work together on? certainly climate change is number one. | climate change is number one. the two largest emitters. it is important we were together on climate change as well as help countries bringing coal, developing countries to develop towards a greener energy solution. part of that goal has beenin solution. part of that goal has been in indonesia where president biden announced a $20 billion programme to help

transition away from coal. thank you very much. sticking with the topic of china. residents in the south chinese city of guangzhou have escaped a compulsory coronavirus lockdown and clashed with police. videos show people overturning a police vehicle, tearing down covid control barriers and marching down the streets. steve mcdonell has more from beijing. (tx just days after the strict anti covid policies in place here in china, we are seeing the policy coming apart yet again. now, the easing of that was, i suppose with the view to try to extend the possibility of keeping zero covid going but, here we have yet another clash,

and even worse one than we have seen before in wanjo, crowds of workers busted out of a stay—at—home lockdown. apart from breaking out into the streets they have smashed down anti covid carriers, clashed with police, even at one point turning over a police car. the riot police have been ordered in to bring order to the streets but those workers have said we need to get paid. they are mostly itinerant labourers, so they are coming from other parts of china, they live in wanjo because that is where the jobs are. if they can't get to the place of employment and can't get paid for weeks on end they are saying that is not sustainable for them. they are also talking about food shortages and prices going through the roof during this lockdowns and —— situation.

let's report on the exceptional work of medical staff working in an exceptionally challenging conditions. this report from quentin sommerville in the donbass region, and a warning, you may find some of it distressing. explosion macro and ukraine eastern front, a few moments of peace. those serving here, still a private moment wherever we can. face or when they were going.

outside, the bombardment continues. the day starts badly — the first arrival is beyond help. we don't want to intrude, so we keep our cameras away. men have just arrived in a van from a front line position. they're asking for body bags. so this is something that the men really don't like to talk about. they're very willing to talk about the injuries and people that have been saved, but it's a much more sensitive subject, talking about the dead. this is dangerous territory, so it's surveillance cameras that keep watch for incoming wounded. the brigade has already lost five medics, but when a casualty arrives, they don't hesitate. another man in need. man cries out in pain. a critically injured soldier hurt in an explosion. blood and dirt

soak his uniform. ukraine's trauma care is first class, but the whole team will be needed to save his life. his heartbeat is irregular and he's lost an eye. his temperature is dropping. the soldier's name is sasha. semi—conscious, he reaches for his damaged hand and finds a finger is missing. he'll need surgery at a much larger hospital. valeria is just 21 years old, and she's seen enough suffering for a lifetime. she's cared for thousands of men since the war began. men she won't forget. translation: young people, i'm the most sorrow for. -

0r story on the bbc news website. or you can download the bbc news app. i am on twitter. from one of us on the team here in london, thanks very much for your company. we will see you next time. hello, after the very mild weather we saw last week and through that week in, things have been turning a little bit cooler over the past few days and we have seen some very unsettled, pretty wet and windy conditions on the cards. this was the picture on tuesday afternoon in herefordshire, lots of grey cloud and outbreaks of rain. now as we look through the pressure through the next few days, no pressure off and going to be dominating things. we've got one area making its way slowly northwards and eastwards gradually through wednesday night into what is friday, and then perhaps a ridge of high pressure just then perhaps a ridge of high pressurejust building then perhaps a ridge of high pressure just building as we and the working week. but back to the next few days, well, with the rest of this week really cooler than a has—been, spells of rain at times and also strong winds and gales,

especially when the wednesday morning up towards the northern isles, 60 mph gust possible, also winding through the english channel with some heavy showers for parts of southern eglin, could be thundery, too. quite a lot of drier weather on the cards for wednesday, a few showers for the likes of dumfries and galloway, but then the next area of heavy rain and strong winds moving into the south—west later in the afternoon. temperatures between nine and 13 for most of us, so more typicalfor the time nine and 13 for most of us, so more typical for the time of year, not as mild as it was the start of the week. this is the slow, quite a lot of isobars around it, so a spell of unsettled weather again lasting through into thursday. these wins will be strong from a south—easterly direction to eastern scotland, driving and really persistent and heavy rain, they could be some flooding problems for parts of aberdeenshire say. further south, most places looking a bit drier but still some heavy, blustery showers in the south. then that area of low pressure lift its way a little bit further northwards as we move on into friday, allowing some slightly higher pressure to start a building from the south—west. looking like a bit of a drier day, and less bulky

for the bulk of england and wales, we could see some showers into parts of western scotland, still a bit of rain, looks like it could be lingering for the northern isles too. temperatures down a notch by the stage in the way, struggling to get out of single figures in the north, we could see 12 degrees in the south. friday night into saturday, there is that ridge of high pressure, so that means things will be drying out and cooling down. look at these temperatures, early saturday, the first widespread frost for many of us i think. so some frost and some early fog patches as well, slowly clearing away, but a different feel to the weather for saturday morning. some autumnal sunshine for most of us but the next area of rain waiting in the wings, moving in from the west with some brisk winds during the afternoon. there will be fairly cool as well, temperatures typically eight or nine degrees for most of us. into the second half of the weekend, low pressure once again looks like it will be winning out, driving weather fronts once again from west to east across the uk. so this is the picture for sunday. a pretty messy picture, i think

you will agree. some areas of more persistent rain clearing to live scattered showers and still some blustery winds around as well. temperatures at this stage around about eight to 12 degrees, north to south. looking further ahead then, here is the jet stream, this band of strong winds in the upper atmosphere. band of strong winds in the upperatmosphere. it will band of strong winds in the upper atmosphere. it will be driving itself to the south of the uk, so we are on the colder side of thatjet, pretty the uk, so we are on the colder side of that jet, pretty strong across the atlantic. there will be developing successive areas of low pressure, so through the course of the following week, those areas of low pressure look like they move their way across the uk, interspersed with something a little bit drier and brighter. with something a little bit drierand brighter. but with something a little bit drier and brighter. but really an unsettled picture further ahead from six to ten days ahead, we are looking now at rain at times, often fairly windy conditions, temperatures pretty average for this time of the year but certainly not as mild as they have been. goodbye for now.
