11:13 pm
invasion of ukraine could ultiamtely take centre stage. for the first time, ukrainian president zelensky will make an appearance in person, last year he addressed the un general assembly virtually. the united states says it is russia's war which is causing the instability in the world economy, but the white house also acknowledges that not enough progress has made in reaching targets the un has set. on friday, the united nations shared an accelerated agenda to help countries get back on track with their sustainable development goals. in 2015 the general assembly set goals in 17 areas for sustainable development — including the eradication of poverty and hunger and the universal provision of good health care and education. right now we are halfway through that process, and the record shows the world is on track to meet only 15% of the targets. half a billion people are likely still to be
11:14 pm
living in poverty in 2030. and still 100 million children will not be in school. here's the un secretary—general, antonio guterres. these aren'tjust the least of goals, they carry the hopes, dreams, rights and expectations of people everywhere. yet today, only 15% of the targets are on track. and many are going in reverse. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's now take a look at some other stories making news here in the uk. detectives believe they have discovered the remains of a couple, whose daughter has been charged with their murder. essex police was called to an address in pump hill, chelmsford, after 35—year—old virginia mccullough appeared in court, charged with killing her parents at some point
11:15 pm
between 2018 and 2023. people in england aged 65 and over are being urged to get a top—up covid booster vaccine. an increasing number of people are attending hospital with the virus, but while hospital numbers are up, intensive care admissions are low. the roll—out�*s been brought forward as a precaution against a highly—mutated new covid variant called ba2.86. the cost of renting a home in the uk rose by i2% in the year to august — that's according to estate agency hamptons. the group says it's the highest rise since it started its survey in 2014. the uptick in the past 12 months is greater than the increase experienced over the four years to 2019. you're live with bbc news. the other story that broke a short while back, the canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau says his security agencies
11:16 pm
are investigating credible allegations that indian government agents were involved in the murder of a canadian sikh activist. hardeep singh nijjar was shot dead outside a temple in british columbia injune. mr trudeau told parliament he was determined to hold the perpetrators to account. shortly after that statement, the canadian foreign minister said a senior indian diplomat had been expelled from ottawa. 0ur south asia editor anbarasan ethirajan has been looking at the story. hejoins us in london. thank you very much forjoining us here on newsday. canada has long alleged an indian hand in the killings, what more do we know about the investigations which saw justin trudeau make this statement just a few days after he returned from the g20 in new delhi? the canadian government says that they raised this issue with the sentience prime minister during the
11:17 pm
group 20 meeting that was held in new delhi earlier this month. they raised this issue and now the trade minister of canada postponed a visit to india in october. 50 there was some indication that the tensions were escalating between the two countries. the accusations by the canadian government by prime ministerjustin trudeau is quite extraordinary because he was talking about that killing of canadian citizens on canadian soil seen as a violation of sovereignty. so this is likely to have another reaction from new delhi now. according to canadian media, and sentience diplomat has been expelled, asked to leave the country. you can expect the sentience government to do the same when they wake up in the morning. now, it is very early morning. it shows how the issue of the diasporas seek community, they live predominantly in the northern sentience state of punjab. there is also sni —— a large community
11:18 pm
outside of india living in canada and the issue, a section of them supporting a separated state for the sikh in india. that has been a source of your ten for india and canada for a while. india has in the past has accused canada of not doing enough to quell what it called "anti—india activities of extremist elements", referring to the rise of the sikh separatist movement on canadian soil. what does this latest allegation do to already frosty relations? we can expect a tit—for—tat reaction from india and we already saw that even when mr trudeau was in a group 20 meeting, he was not given that much due importance in the sentience media was talking about how he was ignored by the sentience government because of what india says our anti—indian activities by the sikh separatist groups in canada. they were referring to attacks in ottawa and also they have been several
11:19 pm
processions held by sikh separatist groups in canada. 50 the sentience government brands many of these group leaders as terrorists and urges canada to take action against these people. but canada says many of these activities are coming under freedom of expression, but they do say that of the sentience diplomatic missions will be protected. now, these are quite extraordinary allegations made by the canadian prime minister. we don't see very often in sentience diplomat getting expeued often in sentience diplomat getting expelled from a western country. so the reaction is going to be quite strong when new delhi wakes up in a few hours' time. pall strong when new delhi wakes up in a few hours' time.— few hours' time. all right, we will be tracking _ few hours' time. all right, we will be tracking reactions _ few hours' time. all right, we will be tracking reactions from - few hours' time. all right, we will be tracking reactions from new. few hours' time. all right, we will. be tracking reactions from new delhi as well. thank you very much for the moment for giving us a quick update that story. there've been big protests in eastern libya against the government, after the collapse of two dams during a storm, triggered catastrophic floods. the united nations has now revised its estimate of the number of confirmed deaths to around 4000, with at least 5000 still missing. our correspondent anna foster, has more from the worst
11:20 pm
affected port city of derna, where the mayor's house appears to have been burned down by angry protestors. anger and blame in derna, after a week of struggle for its flood survivors, they raised their voices. this group gathered at the landmark mosque to protest. and then, as night fell, there were videos that seemed to show the mayor's home set on fire. and derna is paying a terrible price. children, women, my mother. my mother. my brother. my sister, all dead. but they are not living here, they are living in the next street.
11:21 pm
this is a bad situation, we don't know, we don't need food, we don't need clothes, we need... where will i live?! we joined turkish recovery teams in this sealed off zone, to see their work. this is one of the streets that has been painstakingly cleared of victims, more than 500 in this area alone, but it is a small part of the devastation and you can see there is still so much more to do. these buildings were overcome with water, 20—30 metres deep. bodies have been found as high as six floors up. when the floods came, it was a split second decision for people living here. would they be safer to stay, or escape? in a school not far away, this woman knows she made the right choice, she brought her five children here before their home was swept away. and it saved their lives.
11:22 pm
my son is asking me, "mum, where is my neighbour, "where are my friends? water takes us away. every time he is asking me, i cannot answer. i answer him they are gone. he says, "no, mum, they are dead, i hear it. "i know." there are no lessons in this school. for now, the lives of this city's children are on pause. anna foster, bbc news, derna. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines. ukraine is taking legal action against three european countries that have banned the sale of its agricultural exports. hungary, slovakia and poland say that cheaper ukrainian grain is undercutting their own farmers' produce. the european union lifted restrictions last week, leading the three affected countries to take unilateral action. they are all still allowing grain to travel through their territories.

an elite women's tennis tournament is being held in china for the first time since a boycott over concerns for the wellbeing of the chinese player peng shuai. the women's tennis association suspended events in china after peng said that she had been sexually assaulted by a senior former chinese government official. the us military has lost one of its f—35 fighterjets — and have reached out to people for help. they're asking for public assistance in locating the aircraft, which crashed over the weekend, somehwere in the southern state of south carolina. the pilot managed to eject the aircraft before it went down. the bbc�*s courtney bembridge has more from our newsroom. the f35 is one of the world's most
11:24 pm
advanced fighter jets. each one costs about $80 million us, so it is a big thing to lose. is now in a stable condition in hospital and officials are trying to piece together what happened. they've described the incident as a mishap and said that it happened in the southern state of south carolina. if i zoom into this area in a little bit more detail, you have got the city of charleston here, and just to the north, there are these two large lakes. and it is this area that officials say they are focusing their search based on the latest information they have on where the object was last seen. they have asked the public to try to help them in that search. we are also told that the jets transponder which would usually help people to find it is not working. 50 lots of questions around this story, articulated probably best by republican nancy nace who asks...
11:25 pm
the airbase coordinating this search has described the aircraft as being stealthy and says that it is different coatings in different designs that make it more difficult than a normal aircraft to detect. perhaps this is a case of it being a little too stealthy. that is all for now. they stay with bbc news. hello there. it's definitely been a gear change with the weather story in recent days, an autumnal flavour to our weather. we'll certainly see threatening looking skies for the remainder of the week, and some of the rain at times really quite heavy. so here's the next batch, pushing in off the atlantic — just look how many isobars there are on the chart. the winds a feature, and some of that rain really quite heavy. so, to start with, on tuesday, the wettest of the weather moving out of northern ireland across southern scotland, northern england, and wales, and we'll see this frontal system moving its way south and north throughout the day.
11:26 pm
now, it never really gets all the way across central and southern england, so here, some brighter skies into the afternoon, still pretty windy. gusts of winds ao—asmph in places, maybe close to 60mph in exposed west—facing coast, and the heaviest of the rain across northwest england, the scottish borders, and northern ireland. the far north of scotland, bright, as well — not quite as windy here, but it will be noticeably fresher. top temperatures here around 13—15 celsius. we mightjust see 20 celsius further south if we get a little bit of afternoon brightness. now, as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, there's another area of low pressure, and this one has the remnants, a little bit of energy from ex—hurricane lee in there. so this one, again, will mean business — a lot of heavy rain, sweeping its way steadily eastwards. don't forget the brighter greens, denoting the intensity of that rain, and the winds, again, a feature 50—60mph not out of the question, particularly close to the centre of the low, and far
11:27 pm
west of scotland. top temperatures again, 14—21 celsius the high. so, as we move out of wednesday, there's more to come — and it's all because the jet stream at the moment has sunk that little bit further south, it's intensified and centred across the uk. now we all know by now, it's the jet stream, this ribbon of fast—moving air high up in the atmosphere that drives in areas of low pressure. and if it's centred across the uk, then it'll continue to push further areas of low in our direction. just look what's waiting in the wings as we head through the weekend. so, be prepared for some showers or longer spells of rain, the winds remaining a feature. a brief window of finer weather potentially on saturday. take care.

welcome to hardtalk, i'm stephen sackur. what sort of political system best
11:30 pm
delivers individual rights and collective wellbeing ? in the western world, the consensus answer is democracy. but what happens when the building blocks of democratic societies start to crumble, when bonds of trust and shared history weaken, when information is no longer impartial, and hostility undermines common purpose? well, my guest, the israeli historian and public intellectual, yuval noah harari, is watching his own country grappling with these questions. it's happening in the us and europe, too. so where will it end? yuval noah harari, welcome to hardtalk. thank you. it is now more than a decade since you wrote sapiens.
