there has been confusion about how many people have died because of the fluidity of the situation but indonesian disaster agency said that earlier, 162 people had died. the 5.6—magnitude quake struck near the town of chianjur in an area which is densely populated and vulnerable to landslides. we are told the hospitals are now overwhelmed as at least 700 people are being treated for injuries, many of them serious. our correspondent valdya baraputri reports from chianjur. have you found her? as the shaking subsided, shocked residents stood out on the streets of cianjur to take in the damage done to their homes. it was extensive. by indonesian standards, this was not an especially powerful earthquake, but it was shallow — close to the earth's surface, enough to cause hundreds of buildings to collapse as it struck in the afternoon.

translation: when it. happened, i was sleeping, but all of a sudden, my bed shook and i ran outside. houses had collapsed. as officials tried to coordinate rescue efforts for areas which are still cut off, the injured were brought to the area's main hospital by any means possible — some carried, others in the back of trucks and in a constant, chaotic stream of ambulances. with aftershocks still being felt, they were laid down on tarpaulins outside the hospital, with nurses treating them as best as they could. translation: all of our medical personnel, - including those on days off and not on shift, have come on duty. this hospital is absolutely overflowing with the people injured following the earthquake. hundreds of people are spending the night being treated here in tents outside

of the hospital building. there is a fear, too, of dangerous aftershocks. some fear they have lost loved ones. translation: my two children were playing in the house, - and i was upstairs getting laundry. i fell on top of this child, but the other one is still missing. my house is flattened to the ground. two of my children survived. i dug them out myself. so now a race to find survivors — in shattered neighbourhoods without power, without water. earthquakes are not unusual here, but this one appears to have been more destructive than most, leaving so many villages isolated, so many lives lost, so many homes to rebuild. valdya baraputi, bbc news, cianjur. troy pantoe is with save

of protestors back home. meanwhile, england — along with six other european teams — abandoned plans to wear armbands in support of gay rights. that was after fifa said, such a move, would breach the rules and warned players, they would receive a yellow card. england won that match 6—2 whilst wales and the usa drew 1—all and the netherlands beat senegal 2—0. lucy hockings has more from doha. it was an incredibly powerful and symbolic moment when the iranian team stood there in silence as their national anthem wrung out across the stadium. they were under a huge amount of pressure from the protest movement at home and abroad to make a statement, and this is what they chose to do in solidarity with the anti—regime protesters back in iran. i was speaking to the head of amnesty international, and she said it's very important when fans are watching the match, they realise the possible risk that those players took

in making such a statement. i want to tell them to think about the iranian team not just as the adversaries of a football game, but as young men who have taken incredible risks today. they've taken an incredible risk by refusing to sing the anthem. i want the fans to think about them, because when they have to go back to iran, they could get arrested, they could get tortured, they could get sentenced to death, as many protesters have been. 58 children in iran have died. that cannot be evacuated from the stadium. this is arguably the biggest platform in the world that the anti—regime protesters are going to have, the football world cup. there are many iranians with big expectations

of their players, and some living abroad who just want these players to do more. i was watching some of the reaction from people there inside of iran and social media. it's unbelievable. are people are celebrating losing their own national team. all we are so, they were celebrating winning of england team against their national team. why? because they don't consider this team as their national team, they consider it as an islamic republic of team. just remember, it was just a couple days ago these athletes went and shook the hand of the president of iran, the same hand that has cracked down hard on those protesters. so, these athletes have been under a lot of criticise. so, do i think this is enough for people or for these athletes to make iranian people happy? i don't know. we'll see what happen next few days, but i see people expect solidarity, you know, while teenagers are getting killed in this difficult situation.

a massive moment for wales today, who played in their first world cup match in more than 60 years. i've been speaking to a welsh football legend, who told us what this moment meant. as welsh people, we are very much our own country and we are very proud of everything welsh and everything that the country, as the history, the people, everything that's part of that welsh set—up and that welsh tradition. and i know people in wales arejust so, so proud, and hen it comes to football — they love their rugby, but when it comes to football especially, it's just something that they're extra proud about. i'm sure it's going to be exactly the same over this next period, watching wales in the world cup. so while qatari and fifa fficials would like everybody

to concentrate on the football and what is happening on the pitch. there are still so many controversies here. the headlines. but on day three, we will see the of the superstars — lionel messi is playing for argentina. so we have to wait and see if maybe the world's attention, for a moment, is just drawn to what is happening on the pitch. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines. authorities in colorado springs have identified the five victims who were fatally wounded at an lgbtq nightclub at the weekend. in announcing their names, the colorado police chief said he hoped to take attention away from the suspect and refocus it on the victims. the suspect is being held on murder and hate crimes charges. lawyers for a woman who left the uk as a teenager to join the islamic state group have told a court that she was a victim of human trafficking for sexual exploitation. shamima begum went to syria in 2015 when she was fifteen years old and had her uk citizenship removed 4 years later.

a five—day hearing is considering a challenge to try to get it reinstated. the world's largest book publisher, penguin random house, and its rival, simon and schuster, have scrapped plans to merge. the deal would have been worth more than $2 billion but it was blocked last month by a court in the us. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: we'll tell you why president biden has been welcoming turkeys to the white house. president kennedy was shot down and died almost immediately. the murder ofjohn kennedy is a disaster for the whole free world. he caught the imagination of the world, the first of a new generation of leaders.

margaret thatcher is resigning as leader of the conservative party and prime minister. before leaving number 10 to see the queen, she told her cabinet, "it's a funny old world". angela merkel is germany's first woman chancellor, - easily securing _ the majority she needed. attempts to fly a hot—air balloon had to be abandoned after a few minutes, but nobody seemed to mind very much. as one local comic put it, "it's not hot air we need, it's hard cash." cuba has declared nine days of mourning following the death of fidel castro at the age of 90. castro developed close ties with the soviet union in the 19605. it was an alliance that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war with the cuban missile crisis.

this is newsday on the bbc. i'm karishma vaswani. our headlines: the desperate search for suvivors in indonesia, a devastating earthquake has killed scores of people and reduced many buildings to rubble. iran's footballers show their support for protesters back home by refusing to sing the national anthem before their first match at the world cup. let's turn to ukraine now. the world health organization has warned that ukraine's health system is "facing its darkest days in the war so far" the who says millions of people in ukraine face a life—threatening winter because of russia's destruction of the country's energy grid. its european regional director hans kluguh who is in kyiv said the organisation had verified more than 700 attacks on ukraine's health infrastructure, including hospitals, since the war began — which he said was a clear breach of international law. he called for a "humanitarian health corridor" to be created

to all areas of ukraine. this winter will be life—threatening for millions of people in ukraine. the devastating energy crisis, the deepening mental health emergency, constraints on humanitarian access and the risk of viral infections will make this winter a formidable test for the ukraine health system and the ukraine people. but also for the world and it's can to support ukraine. the country is facing a crisis on top of a crisis brought on by the war and the pandemic. half of ukraine cosmic energy infrastructure is either damaged or destroyed. this is already having knock—on effects on the health system and the people's health. put simply, this winter will be about survival. our correspondent jessica parker who's also in kyiv gave me this update. of course, temperatures here are getting colder,

and that's something that the world health organization was pointing to, especially because of the damage there has been to energy infrastructure, energy needed, of course, for vital health care services. and as well with plummeting temperatures and people less able, potentially, to heat their homes, there are warnings as well that people could be more vulnerable to certain conditions. but they used some pretty strong language in this world health organization briefing. hans kluge, who's the who's europe regional director, was talking about figures that he said the un agency had verified of 703 attacks on health infrastructure since the war began. now, the who's definition of an attack is quite broad — it says it defines it as any attack or any act of verbal or physical violence, threat of violence or other psychological violence,

or obstruction that interferes with the availability, access, and delivery of health services. but they said they had verified 703 incidents of this kind. officials saying, though, in terms of those figures, it's not up to them to define whether those attacks might have been deliberate or not or indeed who may have committed them. but i think a further message, overall, today of the concern about the onset of winter and the impact it could have on people across ukraine, both in the regions occupied by russian forces and those that are not. i want to tell you about this story now, where every year 200,000 babies are born with clubfoot, which means they have twisted feet. early diagnosis and treatment yields the best results. but in developing countries, lack of access to treatment leaves many people unable to walk without pain. in senegal, where only 20% of cases get treated, experts have been perfecting a non—invasive technique that works on older children too. here's our global health

correspondent, naomi grimley. at 1a, sirinya relies on his mother to take him to clinic, but she'll do whatever it takes for a son who was born with both feet twisted inwards. he has clubfoot, a congenital condition affecting one in 800. this is how he used to walk. he's always dreamed of being a footballer. translation: some people said he wouldn't walk, - that he was incurable. in school, kids teased him about his feet. one time, he refused to go to class for three days. it caused me real heartache. senegalese medics are among those leading the way in treating older children using this so—called ponseti method. before, a child who'd already learnt to walk on a twisted foot might have been told surgery was the only option, whereas this is mostly non—invasive.

in another clinic outside the capital, they're identifying cases as early as possible. it was the original idea of this treatment, which helps to manoeuvre the feet to face forwards. the medical team rely on word of mouth to get parents to bring their babies in. translation: so, this child is only 13 days old. - this is her second cast. so, this means she's received treatment from the start of her life. it makes healing easier and the feet are very flexible when they're young. the thing about clubfoot treatment is it's super cheap and actually very easy. it doesn't even need highly—trained doctors. physiotherapists can do it, too. a week later, sirinya is back at the clinic to have the 20th pair of casts taken off. a minor operation was also required to release the achilles tendon. now, each foot is in position. he'll need physiotherapy

to learn to walk again. but look at the progress on his feet. that dream of playing football is coming within reach. naomi grimley, bbc news, dakar. just remarkable stuff there. nasa's orion spacecraft has made its closest approach to the moon as part of the artemis mission. the unmanned vehicle orbited around the far side of the moon, flying within 130 kilometres of the lunar surface and has now entered a wider orbit. nasa hopes to send humans to the moon again in three years' time. earlier i spoke to former nasa astrobiologist, keith cowing, who also edits nasa watch — a website devoted to the scrutiny of nasa and space policy. he explained what it allows nasa to do. well, it's the first time in half a century that anybody has sent a human rated spacecraft

around the moon. there is no humans inside, just mannequins but a lot of instrumentation on the whole idea is to test out everything that it can and should do in advance of actually sending it with people and the next flight would have people on board. if and the next flight would have people on board.— people on board. if the next fliuht is people on board. if the next flight is meant _ people on board. if the next flight is meant to _ people on board. if the next flight is meant to have - people on board. if the next i flight is meant to have people on board, what's the ambition here for people in the future? if you could just talk us through that? t if you could just talk us through that? if you could just talk us throu~h that? ., . through that? i watched the aollo through that? i watched the apollo landings _ through that? i watched the apollo landings when - through that? i watched the apollo landings when i - through that? i watched the apollo landings when i was | through that? i watched the l apollo landings when i was in high school and back then we went to the moon for probably different reasons, it was geopolitical. but now, as we go back, although we cast this as an american mission, the piece of hardware behind the capital was built by europe, it's got mannequins and research from dozens of countries on board and so when this eventually does place people back on the moon it would be an international effort and it is part of a larger thing, there is something called the item accords which has a star trek ring to it on purpose with 21

countries have all come together to work on this. so the idea here is yeah, we have done this before but for about two—thirds of humanity who were even alive, they've never seen somebody work on another world somebody work on another world so for them this will be the first moon programme for them. i don't want to settle the aid company hereby have to ask and i'm sure many in the audience might be wondering as well —— i don't want to sort of be a dampener stopping there are so many problems on earth, there is a cost of living crisis, a war, is this where humanity's efforts as best placed? you can ask that and — efforts as best placed? you can ask that and it _ efforts as best placed? you can ask that and it has _ efforts as best placed? you can ask that and it has been - efforts as best placed? you can ask that and it has been put - efforts as best placed? you can ask that and it has been put to | ask that and it has been put to space people half a century or longer. many countries in the middle east, small countries in africa, what you see now is something that may be here in the west, una get a little blase, same way are we're doing this, it is a waste of money. why is it that these countries have never done it, so much want to do it and it is a matter of prestige, technology

and it also really does have an inspirational and motivational factor on people. but it is part of a broader issue of space technology where it you and they are talking a satellite, whether satellites keep us safe and so forth and you have to bring it all together. there is a bigger picture to this, it's just that go into the moon is also part of what humans do. we want to explore and it's notjust americans or russians, europeans, its people in ghana and malaysia and wherever else. so that is to me what is important. so that is to me what is important-— so that is to me what is important. so that is to me what is im ortant. ., and finally president biden has pardoned two turkeys at the white house today, continuing a presidential tradition of letting some birds off the hook for the us national holiday of thanksgiving. this year's turkeys, chocolate and chip, come from north carolina. the pardons come one day after president biden turned 80 and were delivered with humour. first of all, the votes are in, they've been counted, verified, there is no ballot stuffing, there is no ballot stuffing,

there is no falled place. the only red wave this season is going to be a german shepherd commander who knocks over the cranberry sauce on our table. that's it from us, thanks so much for watching newsday. hello again. yesterday wasn't the most inspiring of autumn days. for many, it was cloudy and wet. we had some strong and gusty winds, and it felt quite cold as well. that was how the skies looked in staffordshire as the rain came down — the rain even brought a bit of localised flooding to some of the a roads in cornwall and kent. now, so far this month, the wettest weather has been across the eastern side of the uk. aboyne has seen more than double the amount of rainfall this november, and we've seen nearly twice as much rain in shoreham in sussex. the tables were turned, though, on monday, with the wettest weather affecting western areas — lough fea 31mm in northern ireland. now, over recent times, we have seen areas of low pressure move in to the uk and kind of stall

as they've run up against this area of high pressure that's stayed to the north and east of the uk. that's kind of what's happening at the moment, really. yesterday's area of low pressure still with us at the moment, although it is weakening in situ. we're seeing outbreaks of rain generally turning a little bit lighter and patchier, maybe a little bit of mist and fog over the pennines, cold enough for a nip of frost into rural sheltered parts of scotland, but most starting the day on a frost—free note. through tuesday, across central and eastern england, where we start off on a damp note, it should turn a bit brighter. still showers across northern and eastern areas of scotland, one or two showers running down the irish sea, just clipping pembrokeshire and also devon and cornwall, where it will be quite a windy day. temperatures 7—11 celsius, but not feeling quite as chilly. for most of us, the winds won't be as strong as they were yesterday. now, for wednesday, the wind starts to pick up once again, another band of rain coming up the atlantic, this one moving its way northwards and eastwards. it will be followed

by a mixture of sunshine and showers, but there'll be quite a lot of showers across western areas as we head into the afternoon. temperatures not really changing too much — about seven again in the north to about 11 or 12 across southern parts of england and wales. we've got more rain in the forecast for thursday. this area of rain looks to be quite a slow—moving band as it extends its way gradually eastwards. could see some localised flooding impacting from that, just one or two areas, and we'll start to see those temperatures just picking up across parts of england and wales, 12—13 celsius the high. into the weekend and next week, it does stay on the unsettled side, the winds turn more to the south—westerly direction, so temperatures just coming up, perhaps 1a over the weekend in cardiff.
