the rescue boats set off early, but were hampered by strong winds and rough seas, buffeting attempts to reach the island from naples. as they came ashore, the impact was clear. morning light revealed the torrents of mud and what they'd buried. man speaks italian. "this mountain has fallen on the homes that are no longer there," he says. houses were engulfed with people trapped beneath the mud, dozens of firefighters helped evacuate those they could. a rescue and a search for those still missing. the fear is that as more areas are unearthed, the number of confirmed victims could rise. for the islanders, their tranquillity was shaken by a nightmare. translation: there are some cars facing upwards and have . shifted to the side. looking at them, you can't

explain how it was possible. vehicles were tossed aside and battered, hurled by a wave of mud into the waves of the ocean. houses have been cut off, some without power. the authorities calling on residents to stay inside. ischia's narrow streets are caked in the chaos, many of its homes, illegally built over the years, unstable and vulnerable. now an anxious wait for the weather to lift to see the extent of the damage wreaked, turning ischia from island idyll into rivers of mud. the rain has finally stopped. we came through a deluge. clear weather will help the rescue efforts and ease access across

from naples because ferries are still suspended from that route. the latest figures we have all one person known to have all one person known to have died and ii have all one person known to have died and 11 people still missing. the worry is that as more is cleared, what or who will be found beneath. argentina have beaten mexico 2—0 in the men's football world cup, keeping alive their hopes of reaching the knockout stages in qatar. here's our sports editor dan roan in qatar. for all that their talisman has achieved in the game, glory on the pitch has been elusive for argentina's lionel messi. they were aware if they lost this they will be out of this, his final world cup. they will be out of this, his finalworld cup. in they will be out of this, his final world cup. in a raucous atmosphere it was clear it was going to be a scrap. after—shock opening defeat against saudi arabia, argentina

was failing to bring the corrupt and the powerful to justice. the rally brings to a close the so called �*long march�* — by imran khan's pti party — aimed at pressing the government to call a snap election. samira hussein reports. they came by the hundreds and hundreds quickly became thousands. all converging on a three km strip of road. security was tight. the last time imran khan spoke in public he was shot. the government warned of possible attacks today. his supporters came anyway. that's how strongly they believe in the cause. his cause is a people of pakistan. not himself. he is out for us. so, that's why we are supporting and we are coming here for our leader who is supporting us. there is one man only who has been raising his voice against i all of the establishment. he is there to look forward. he has given us a vision. as day turned tonight the excitement was building. when he finally arrived at the

rally crowd erupted in cheers. people waited here for hours to hearfrom imran khan. this is the first time he was addressing supporters since being shot. there was no doubt he believes an exceptional confident. even though he was pushed out of office earlier this year. since then khan has been holding protests demanding fresh elections. now he is considering dissolving the two provincial governments under his parties control. an unprecedented move which is sure to plunge pakistan into further political crisis. and that is just how quickly things can change in this country. the immensely popular leader may have been knocked down physically. but he continues to fight politically. samira hussein, bbc news. let's look at some of the day's other news

from around the world. venezuela's government and opposition have issued a joint statement requesting that billions of dollars frozen abroad be gradually released to help fund health, education and food aid programmes. the announcement was made at the beginning of talks held in mexico aimed at ending years of political deadlock. on the same day, the united states said that it would allow the american oil company chevron to resume some activity in venezuela. taiwan's president has resigned as leader of the governing party, saying she takes full responsibility for her party's poor showing in the local elections. president tsai had framed the election as a vote for democracy amid rising tensions with china, but the voters were not convinced. the vatican has accused china of breaking a landmark

agreement signed four years ago over the administration of chinese catholics. the vatican expressed �*surprise and regret�* after beijing appointed a bishop without its approval. although details of the deal were never made public, it gave both sides a say in the assignment of new bishops in china. many catholics have criticised the agreement with communist china. nasa�*s orion spacecraft has broken the record for the furthest distance travelled from earth, by a vehicle that is habitable by humans. the test flight, which does not have any crew onboard, is almost 406,000 kilometres from earth. that�*s more than 6000 kilometres beyond the previous record, held by the apollo 13 spacecraft. the spacecraft will take astronauts to the moon in the coming years.

ukraine�*s president, volodymyr zelensky, says six million ukrainian households are still without power, after russia launched a wave of missile strikes across the country this week. the number of affected households has reduced, but many have been left without light, water or heat as winter sets in. the bbc�*s ukrainian service correspodnent in kyiv, zhanna bezpiatchuk, says the authorities have been urgently working to try to restore water and electricity supplies. we know that so far, 75% of the ukrainian demand for electricity has been already met by the supply which has been restored in many regions and cities of ukraine. today we got to know that the city of kherson is on the grid again and that�*s very important news. people were cut off from early electricity supply,

heating and water for weeks after the liberation while the retreating of the russian forces that have destroyed all three main electricity supply lines around kherson. for example, i know such stories from the city of kherson where doctors and nurses and maternity units had to boil water and pour it in bottles and bring these hot bottles to their patients, mothers and newborns to warm them up. now the hospitals in kherson and in the region of kherson will be the first recipients who will get this electricity back these days and then there are potential blocks of residential houses and private houses in kherson who might get the electricy supply that is

absolutely essential. as for kyiv, yesterday at night, finally, many residential areas in the eastern bank of the ukrainian capital got access to electricity after about 30 hours without heat or electricity and water supply. so it�*s very important to understand that people could not call their relatives, families and friends when the electricity is off so it�*s very difficult psychologically when you cannot call your family to us them call your family to ask them what is happening to them and where they are. the same was also with regards to isolation from news because wifi and mobile internet was not running and people didn�*t know what was happening in the city.

there�*ve been protests against covid restrictions in the western chinese city of urumqi following a deadly fire that killed ten people. crowds chanted the slogan �*end lockdown�*, and broke through barriers guarded by officials wearing hazmat suits. many residents appear to believe that covid controls contributed to delays in tackling the fire. urumqi is the capital of xinjiang province, home to millions of uyghur muslims. it�*s been under stringent coronavirus measures for three months as beijing continues to grapple with a steep rise in covid infections. 0ur correspondent katie silver is following this story from singapore. the fire broke out on the 15th floor of this apartment building on thursday night. we understand it took authorities about three hours to put it out and according to state media, ten people died from it and nine were injured. this deadly blaze has then attracted attention on social media, making many complain and question this ongoing commitment to zero covid. some residents telling

the bbc that they question whether or not these people were able to leave the building, and many for example relying on chats from the government to give themselves security that they were able to leave. now we have seen videos emerge on tiktok as well as weibo, which is china�*s equivalent of twitter, showing people coming up against officials in hazmat suits, screaming out, lift the lockdown, as well as hitting drums. all of this comes about as the fact that china was the first into this pandemic and it seems like it is going to be the last out. it has now been almost three years that people have faced lockdown pressures, quarantines, as well as having to deal with snap lockdowns. so what we have seen, for instance on that front, particularly when it has come to the world cup, people have seen that is triggering, they have seen videos of people online out and about in crowds with no masks on. on friday we saw the third day in a row of consecutive daily cases hitting about 35,000 and that is small in a population of 1.4 billion,

but the restrictions are immense. a damning report on the culture of london fire brigade has found that it�*s "institutionally misogynistic and racist". the independent review was carried out after a black trainee firefighter took his own life. the author of the report says he has "no doubt" similar problems exist in other fire brigades across the country. louisa pilbeam reports. as wildfires broke out in london this summer, firefighters were praised for protecting the public. but they haven�*t protected their own, according to a report into london fire brigade, which found it is institutionally racist, misogynistic and has a bullying culture. i sat with a very senior female officer who said to me in tears that whenever she goes into a dangerous incident, she�*s almost thinking, "will the men around me protect me, given how much they have treated me as dirt back at the station?" that was not one person, that was many, many people. the report found example after

example of abuse at all levels. incidents included a black firefighter having a noose above his locker, a muslim firefighter bullied over his faith with bacon put in his sandwiches, female colleagues being groped and crew members finding their helmets filled with urine. the brigade�*s commissioner andy rowe said he was deeply sorry for the harm that had been caused. to hear those stories, which so grossly undermine all that we stand for, is genuinely housebreaking. i know that so many of my people will be appalled by what they have heard and therefore, we must face it head—on with the same courage to resolve these issues. i don�*t think i can read this report and see a future where some people aren�*t held accountable for their actions and dismissed as a result, the examples are too horrifying. london fire brigade is the uk�*s busiest fire and rescue service, employing more than 5,000 people. their union responded

with a statement. the london mayor has also demanded change. this report has to be a watershed moment where we get rid of the institutional racism, homophobia and discrimination that exists in our fire service. the damning report comes as london fire brigade faces criticism for its handling of the grenfell tower fire, but the brigade have confirmed immediate changes to training and disciplinary procedures. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. twitter continues to generate headlines under the leadership of elon musk, who bought the firm for $4abn at the end of october. the tumult has brought into sharper focus some

of the platform�*s failings, but for some of its roughly 300 million monthly users, it has also been a place where they have built businesses, found love, and launched campaigns. our technology editor, zoe kleinman, has spoken to three women who say being on twitter changed their lives for the better: twitter has long been a complicated place to hang out. you hear a lot about its struggles with moderation, with abuse and illegal content. for some of its millions of monthly users, it has been a platform that has brought business opportunities, grown communities, and sparked romance. i spoke to three women who say it changed their lives for the better. catherine cooke used twitter as a sounding board while she was going through divorce, and found an unexpected happy ending. i didn�*t start out looking for romance, but what i did use twitter for was, support, really. it is quite an isolating thing, going through a divorce. i like music, and i got

chatting to people about music. one of those people was the person that eventually ended up being my partner. twitter has changed my life. i can�*t believe i am actually saying that, but it is true. i have gone from being on my own and going through a divorce, which isn�*t a happy process for anybody, to feeling like i have met the love of my life. gail myerscough is a big fan of twitter. she was made redundant dueing covid and turned her she was made redundant during covid and turned her illustration side hustle into her mainjob. it's been amazing. i now have 18.4 thousand followers, so i have got a real audience for it. people have been really supportive, people have been with me on myjourney. tim burgess, from the charlatans, contacted me one day and said, i really like your work.

then he asked me to design a turntable for him. how do you feel about what is happening to twitter? i am worried. a lot of my business and support comes from twitter. if twitter went, i would have to build my business elsewhere. i don't know where that elsewhere would be. suw charman—anderson�*s idea of a celebration of women working in science and tech, turned into a global event known as ada lovelace day. she says that wouldn�*t have happened without twitter. the idea of having a day - celebrating women in science, technology, engineeringj and maths, i didn't have any resources, orany way to reach people. | twitter was- the obvious solution. i don't think ada lovelace day would have become l the movement it did become, without the help of twitter. i whatever happens to twitter next, under new ownder, elon musk, there will be lots of people hoping that these sorts of opportunities

continue to flourish. now if you�*re over a certain age, you�*ll surely remember this... # remember my name. the voice of american actress and singer, irene cara, who has died at the age of 63. the musical fame — in which she sang that title track — made her, indeed famous. four years later, irene cara won an oscar and a grammy for the title song in the movie "flashdance". seth abramovitch from the hollywood reporter has more on the significance of her role in "fame". it was a huge impact. it predated pop idol and x factor. it gave kids a sense of, oh, this could happen to me. i have talent if ijust work hard and do it i could have

all my dreams come true. it really did touch something in a generation stop it was a seminal film. she auditioned for the role of coco. and that was conceived as a dancing role. when they heard her sing they realised we need to rewrite this. in the film she is in a triple stream. she is dancing, acting, and singing. she sings the theme song. she just has this exuberance. there is a little bit ofjennifer lopez to her. because she�*s a latino from new york. she can move and she can sell a song. there was something... her emotional connection to a song was without equal. she really shined in that film. i should say that for fame, she made history because she was nominated for two songs from that

soundtrack, the title song fame and out here on my own. and she performed both at the academy awards. what a platform to launch her career. and the first, i believe, afro—latina actress or performer to be nominated for an oscar outside of the acting category. so she did make history and she won for fame. so that already made her quite a, you know, a force. and when flashdance came around, that was interesting. giorgio moroder, the very legendary disco producer worked with donna summer, was hired to write the theme song for that, and they paired him with her, paramount, she was under contract to paramount, and they came up with this song. and, the legend goes, in a limousine ride in new york city. and, well, that one exceeded even fame. i mean, what a classic song. what a feeling. in australia, 2,500 naked volunteers have posed on sydney�*s bondi beach for an artwork designed to raise

awareness of skin cancer. it�*s the latest project of the american photographer, spencer tunick. from sydney, phil mercer reports. bondi beach has never looked like this. 2,500 volunteers braved the early morning chill and intermittent rain in sydney for spencer tunick�*s latest art project. clothes and inhibitions were discarded. at dawn, the participants collectively embraced the sunrise, raising their arms towards the light. the photoshoot lasted about one hour. it is very cold in the morning as we were waiting on the beach from 3:30am. and it lightly rained, but then the skies cleared up and it was beautiful, so... the moment we stripped off, i think the excitement and invigoration of being alive was there and didn�*t notice the cold too much. spencer tunick orchestrated his latest massive nude photo shoot from the top of a small crane

with a megaphone. he was raising awareness about skin cancer. australia has some of the highest rates of the disease anywhere in the world. the american photographer brought together a legion of naked strangers in the name of art and health. we have an opportunity to raise awareness about skin checks and i am honoured to be invited by skin checks champions to come here, make my art and just celebrate the body and protection. legislation had to be changed to allow public nudity for the first time in sydney�*s famous arc of sand. soon the birthday suits were replaced by the usual tracksuits and wet suits at bondi beach, but for the nude participants it was a day to savour. phil mercer, bbc news, sydney.
