the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, has defended his rishi sunak has defended changes to his key environment the policies, including delaying the ban on diesel cars by five years, to 2035. rishi sunak said he wanted to achieve... live now tojust sunak said he wanted to achieve... live now to just ralston, the head of energy at the energy and climate intelligence unit, which is a nonprofit organisation, supporting and form debate on energy in the uk. informed debate, there's been a lot of debate over the last 2a hours since the rumours started emerging the prime minister would announce

these changes to the climate change policies. 2a hours after his speech, what do you make of what was announced? at what do you make of what was announced?— what do you make of what was announced? �* _, . . ., announced? at the correct reflection ofthe announced? at the correct reflection of the ast announced? at the correct reflection of the past 24 _ announced? at the correct reflection of the past 24 hours, _ announced? at the correct reflection of the past 24 hours, it's _ announced? at the correct reflection of the past 24 hours, it's been - announced? at the correct reflection of the past 24 hours, it's been a - of the past 24 hours, it's been a whirlwind, lots of infighting within the government simon clarke was outspoken about some of the rumoured changes, what we've actually come to is a situation where the prime minister pushed back some net zero policies, mentioning the petrol and diesel car phase out, also something around boilers. while the government has announced is only affecting policies that were far into the future, we are at and 10—15 years away from where we are now, he's painted as a cost—of—living way, which is a bit weird because the policies would only be in ten years' time anyway, so how does that help with the cost of living? so it's a

weird turn of events in a chaotic 48 hours. �* , , weird turn of events in a chaotic 48 hours. �*, , _, , ., ., hours. there's been confusion over some of the _ hours. there's been confusion over some of the things _ hours. there's been confusion over some of the things that _ hours. there's been confusion over some of the things that were - some of the things that were announced, which a lot of people didn't even know were a thing. so things like having seven bins in your house won't happen, but people didn't necessarily know it would. limits on the number of people sharing your car — apparently that won't happen, lots of people didn't know that whatever happened, the same with the meat tax. so it's a confusing thing for people to get round what actually was and wasn't going to happen, and won't happen now. ' :: :: , going to happen, and won't happen now. ' $1 $1 , , going to happen, and won't happen now. in , going to happen, and won't happen now.

weird move, heading up to the general election, not knowing what policies you will have and which ones you won't, so we'll have to see where he goes from here.- where he goes from here. distilling eve hint where he goes from here. distilling everything down. — where he goes from here. distilling everything down, what _ where he goes from here. distilling everything down, what do - where he goes from here. distilling everything down, what do you - where he goes from here. distilling| everything down, what do you think is the most significant announcement that came out of that speech yesterday?— that came out of that speech esterda ? ., �* yesterday? one thing we haven't really been _ yesterday? one thing we haven't really been seeing _ yesterday? one thing we haven't really been seeing and _ yesterday? one thing we haven't really been seeing and much - yesterday? one thing we haven't really been seeing and much of l yesterday? one thing we haven't i really been seeing and much of the debate around this is the talk about energy efficiency — so essentially efficiency and people's homes, and what the prime minister announced yesterday was he was scrapping altogether some minimum regulations on private rented sector installation standards, so essentially what he's done there is force renters to pay an extra £8 billion worth of bills, gas bills by scrapping these energy efficiency regulations. it's also not helpful for the landlords because those who are preparing for the regulations have now not got to do them, and the renters are stuck in a situation where they can't fix the

installation of the building, that's down to the landlord. jess. installation of the building, that's down to the landlord.— installation of the building, that's down to the landlord. jess, we have to leave it there, _ down to the landlord. jess, we have to leave it there, somebody - down to the landlord. jess, we have to leave it there, somebody figures| to leave it there, somebody figures and policies to get your head around, thank you for that. the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, has defended his decision to accuse the indian government of possible involvement in the murder of a canadian sikh activist. the allegation has caused a rapidly worsening diplomatic row between the countries. india has halted visa services in canada and called for a reduction in canadian diplomatic staff in india. mr trudeau said he wasn't seeking to provoke delhi. but he said the killing injune of a canadian citizen on canadian soil was of the utmost seriousness. he declined to say what evidence 0ttawa had about the murder. as i said on monday, there are credible reasons to believe that agents of the government of india

were involved in the killing of a canadian on canadian soil. that is something of the utmost and foundational importance in a country of rule of law, in a world where international rules—based order matters. we have a rigorous and independent justice system, and robust processes that will follow their course. we call upon the government of india to engage with us, to move forward on getting to the truth of this matter. india has dismissed the allegations as absurd. a foreign ministry spokesman was asked how the dispute was affecting his country's reputation.

if there's any country that needs looked at, i think it is canada and its growing reputation as a place — as a safe haven for terrorists, for extremists, and for organised crime. i think that's a country that needs to worry about its international reputation. a short while ago, i spoke to our north america correspondent nada tawfik, on the latest developments between canada and india. i think prime minister trudeau, when really pressed on what the evidence was, he wouldn't be sidetracked from the fact that this is an ongoing investigation, but he said that deciding to come public with these allegations was done with the utmost seriousness. and he said that the evidence was credible, that it needed to be taken seriously by notjust canadians, but by the world. but so far, we've seen notjust those dismissals by india calling the claims absurd, but we've really seen a muted response from some of canada's allies here alongside the halls here of the un general assembly as well. and so i actually asked

the prime minister about that, about that fact, that with india's kind of growing ties to the west as they try to court india as a country of growing influence, whether he felt that was affecting support he was getting from its allies. and he said quite frankly that, look, india is a growing power, and it's a country that we're going to have to continue to work with. and he said, again repeating that he didn't want to provoke or cause problems with india, but that he wanted to remain true to as we heard there the rules—based order and protecting canadians. and so he is not stepping back at all from those allegations, but he is trying to find a middle ground there, saying that he wants india to work with his government to try to help uncover the truth of what happened. and, nada, just for clarity, can you just take us through some of the run—up to today, to what exactly happened and where we are in terms of india—canada relations? yeah, absolutely. well, we had the kind

a public declaration monday afternoon in parliament where the prime minister, justin trudeau, made public allegations that indian government agents were behind the killing of a sikh separatist, hardeep singh nijjar. he was killed by two masked gunmen back injune, and while that investigation is ongoing, there was a bit of pressure by the prime minister to kind of come forward, even conservatives now have asked him to put evidence forward to show what he knows about this killing. now this is a man, hardeep singh nijjar, who was considered a human rights activist by sikhs in canada. it's important to note that there's the largest population of sikhs outside of india in canada, but the indian government regarded him as a criminal. and so this kind of row obviously goes back to kind of much deeper ties in india and the history of the sikh community there. they're called online frenzies —

posts on social media that encourage disruption and disorder in the real world. a bbc investigation has found they're being driven by the social media app tiktok. former employees say tiktok isn't tackling the issue for fear of slowing the platform's growth. bbc verify�*s marianna spring has been looking into it. like everybody else on tiktok, i'm obsessed with this idaho murder case. what connects false accusations of murder in the us... four students were brutally stabbed to death. ..amateur sleuths turning up in a british town and antisocial behaviour and vandalism in uk schools? the answer is they are all examples of tiktok frenzies, identified by the bbc. when you post a video on tiktok, it can be pushed to users everywhere on the for you page at a speed and scale that doesn't seem possible on other social media platforms, creating a frenzy of posts. former employees and creators have told me how this design means people

are seeing videos they normally would not see, and being incentivised to behave in a harmful way to produce more popular content. the search for mum of two, nicola bulley, continues eight days after she went missing. nicola bulley�*s disappearance earlier this year shocked the uk. an inquest ruled the 45—year—old died by accidental drowning, but conspiracy theories exploded on tiktok, with police saying it interfered with the investigation. hello. hi. lovely to meet you. heather ran one account, racking up millions of views, posting about the case, having never shared content like this on tiktok before. in one video, she falsely suggested footage of nicola leaving the house on the morning of her disappearance was really herfriend, emma. it received 3.6 million views. whenever you post something and it gains traction, tiktok will send you little e—mails of encouragement, telling you that you've received this many views, you're a hit. if you post something and you receive a lot of positivity from it, i think that can definitely change your behaviour,

whereas before you might not have had that level of empowerment or entitlement. heather seemed to really regret becoming caught up in this frenzy, and she told me that without tiktok, she just doesn't think she would have participated in this way. when you're seeing video after video after video of the same content on the same topic, it's very easy to just think, "well, i canjoin in on that, and i'm just another person." i've had to remind myself, these are other people's lives. and it's notjust a video that's going to go nowhere. it's potentially going to blow up in your face and then you are accountable. lucas — not his real name — is one of several tiktok ex—employees i spoke to for answers about these frenzies. they grew so fast that they couldn't possibly keep up with or predicted every single way the app was going to go. and, in general, they don't want to — they don't want to stand in the way of entertainment growing quickly on their platform. it's about money. the more users they have on the platform, spending more time watching videos, they can sell more ads, sell them for a higher price.

it's probably the most addictive platform that we've encountered yet, and i think that's a real danger, especially because of how young the audience is and how impressionable they are. tiktok told the bbc... speaking to ex—employees and users, it seems that these frenzies are difficult to keep up with, and it's hard to know when and where the next one will happen. marianna spring, bbc news. the public inquiry into the post office horizon it scandal resumed this week, and is focussing on one of the most high—profile cases. the scandal saw hundreds of workers accused of accounting discrepancies and pursued by the post office. former sub postmaster lee castleton was made bankrupt by the post office

after a two—year legal battle. now, 17 years on, he's hoping to get some answers about what went wrong. our business correspondent emma simpson spoke to him at his home, near scarborough. he invested everything he had to become a sub—postmaster, but the post office soon ruined the life of lee castleton and his family. my wife and i, and my two children, we bought a post office in 2003 in bridlington, on the harbour top. we thought it was life—changing, we thought it was something that we would do for the rest of our working lives, and nine months later, it just completely changed, it was absolutely terrible. i was accused of losing £25,000, and that led onto a litigation by post office and eventually bankruptcy. right from the start, he refused to accept he was to blame. now the public inquiry

is looking at his case. how big a moment is it going to be hearing your story and these witnesses? it's something that i never, ever dreamed that we'd see. there's a lot of flooding of emotion going on, and i can't wait, really. the only thing that i'm looking for is some accountability, somebody to actually say, "yeah, you know, that was bad, "that really was bad. "we shouldn't have done that." do you feel they wanted to make an example of you? i think that they needed to make an example of me. i think it made their going forward with other postmasters subsequently a lot easier. it scared other postmasters? it did. are you hoping for an apology? it would be nice, but i doubt it. it doesn't really matter. it's never been personal to me. but for lee, now 54, it's been a long and difficult road for compensation and the truth.

there's been so many people, you know, that could have stopped this all the way through. there's been so many people that have just walked away and got on with their lives that could have stood up and probably done something in the past, where they knew, and they've always known, that there's been issues there. what will give you some sort of peace now? just the end, really. it's been the first thought on a morning, the last thought when you go to bed, and it would just be wonderfuljust to say, never again. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news. it's fair to say, this shop has stood the test of time. 0nce owned by anne boleyn�*s father, it's been serving the village of kingston since the 15th century.

—— chiddingstone. now, its current owners are reluctantly putting this remarkable piece of history back on the market after running it for more than a decade. one thing i do think about is the size of the front door, because it's a hinged door. and if you look at the step, it's so worn out. but, yeah, i hope that it will go into a good pair of hands. goodness, how crass you are! the shop's beauty and its history has meant it's featured in films and dramas watched by millions across the world. and residents are relieved that whoever buys it next will have to keep it as a shop and a post office. i've been coming here for 36 years. it was a little grocer shop when i first came here. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. welcome back. king charles was given a standing

ovation as he addressed the french senate in paris — and he did it in both french and english. he called for france and the uk to work together to protect the world from climate change. he was later taken with the queen to notre dame catherdral to see the work being done to restore it after the fire. from paris, here's our royal correspodent daniela relph. a king making history. today, charles iii became the first british monarch to address both houses of the french parliament from the senate chamber. he speaks french in french and in english, he spoke of a shared vision, describing events in ukraine as horrifying, and stressed the power of governments working together to fight climate change. just as we stand together against military aggression, so must we strive together to protect the world from our most existential challenge of all, that of global warming,

climate change and the catastrophic destruction of nature. there was a standing ovation for a king here to revitalise the entente cordiale. there's been an ease and informality between the queen and the president's wife, brigitte macron. at france's national library, they launched a new literary prize. and the queen spoke in what she described as "slightly rusty french," praising the power of books and writers. meme s'il est vrai que nous apprecions veritablement la bible et shakespeare. at every turn here, there are memories of the late queen. today, her son visited a central paris flower market named after her. and at notre dame, with the macrons, the royal couple met those who fought to save the cathedral after the devastating fire four years ago. in the parisian drizzle, they saw the renovation work currently under way. the state visit has come at the same

time as france hosts the rugby world cup. in a break from training at a fans�* village, the king chatted to welsh rugby player dan biggar. it's a visit that's been all about friendship and unity. except maybe when it comes to table tennis. then, it was the french who had the upper hand. the spanish women's football team are on their way to sweden, after most players ended their match boycott. they'd demanded reform to the governance of the game, after the incident where midfielder, jenni hermoso was publicly kissed on the lips by the head of the national federation. it's been reported that between six and nine senior football officials have now been sacked, as part of the agreement which saw the team return. the spanish football federation has also promised what it called a "commitment to make changes, respecting good governance, transparency, and equality."

speaking at a press conference, two time ballon d'or winner alexia putellas said the spanish women's football team has been subjected to systematic discrimination for a long time. translation: we had been demanding that they listen to us _ for quite some time, because we were detecting that there had been systematic discrimination against women for many decades, too many. we had to fight a lot to be heard. you're watching bbc news. here in the uk, the lionesses and the fa have reached an agreement in a long—running dispute over bonuses and commercial payments. the lionesses were frustrated a deal was not agreed before talks were put on hold during the women's world cup. however, captain millie bright says the squad are "positive things will be different moving forward". live now to stephanie hilborne,

who is ceo of women in sport. stephanie, good to talk to you. shall we start with spain and say almost a month ago, we all watched to the women's world cup, it was a fantastic celebration of women's football — then all went horribly wrong so quickly. so are you relieved at least that something seems to have happened in this spanish situation and the players are happy to play again?- spanish situation and the players are happy to play again? thank you. i think women _ are happy to play again? thank you. i think women in _ are happy to play again? thank you. i think women in sport _ are happy to play again? thank you. i think women in sport is _ are happy to play again? thank you. i think women in sport is a - i think women in sport is a long—standing charity, we are very pleased there's been some change. i think what this situation spain has done has shown a light on the systemic inmate —— any qualities that women face, and sport in particular. —— inequalities. it'll hopefully be a turning point because not only did the world cup demonstrate the brilliance of these women, but to see misogyny playing out on the world stage is an

important thing to wake us up. because it matters to the lives of women and girls everywhere. this is notjust happening on the world stage, but on playgrounds and parks — women and girls are made to feel they don't belong... so these changes are good to see, ijust wish these women hadn't had to deal with all this to get to the point they are at now. all this to get to the point they are at nova— all this to get to the point they areatnow. , �*, ., ., are at now. absolutely, it's hard to to back are at now. absolutely, it's hard to go back to — are at now. absolutely, it's hard to go back to the amazing _ are at now. absolutely, it's hard to go back to the amazing night, - go back to the amazing night, the final, then the kiss — and the fact that luis rubiales refused to resign, refused interviews, and now it's taken a whole month to get to a situation where the spanish players who have just won the women's world cup are happy to play again. it is extraordinary and almost hard to believe. it extraordinary and almost hard to believe. , . ~ extraordinary and almost hard to believe. , ., ~ ., believe. it is, and i think we have to use this—

believe. it is, and i think we have to use this moment _ believe. it is, and i think we have to use this moment to _ believe. it is, and i think we have to use this moment to rebalancel believe. it is, and i think we have i to use this moment to rebalance the leadership of sport, which in football in particular is so over dominated by men. there should be equal leadership by men and women. we have to imagine what it would've been like if in england, we hadn't been like if in england, we hadn't been banned from playing in 1921 just at the peak of the brilliance of the women in those days, and imagine what can be like if we have equal leadership between men and women at the top, we sought out equal investment, we actually have equality, women and girls, in sport. because this matters to try and address on a bigger scale the gendered health inequalities that we face, like the awful experiences of anxiety and mental health that teenagers democrat teenage girls go through that sport can alleviate. things can be alleviated if we just ask that sport has a large value to the lives of women and girls, and stop stereotyping at. we

the lives of women and girls, and stop stereotyping at.— stop stereotyping at. we talked about spain _ stop stereotyping at. we talked about spain but _ stop stereotyping at. we talked about spain but also _ stop stereotyping at. we talked about spain but also the - stop stereotyping at. we talked about spain but also the news | stop stereotyping at. we talked - about spain but also the news from the lionesses who have done so much for football participation in the uk, and it looks like they have agreed a new bonus agreement with the fa. we haven't had too many details about exactly what's been agreed, but what's your understanding as to what's happened and how significant is this?— and how significant is this? again, onl time and how significant is this? again, only time will— and how significant is this? again, only time will tell _ and how significant is this? again, only time will tell how _ and how significant is this? again, only time will tell how significant i only time will tell how significant it is, but the fact that the england man have had and received bonuses for their —— as a given, but the lionesses, our most successful team in so long, who have brought so much to it so many people, have had to ask for them is so profoundly wrong. but it's good that there's been progress but we need to see more progress, we need to redefine masculinity and sport, we need to adjust everything. so i think the lionesses have shown what leadership look like, they've stood up for themselves but they shouldn't have had to. but what's also been amazing

is to see the way the two teams on the world stage have stood by each other, and women around the world are standing by each other to say, "the time has come to sort this out, it's not complicated, we should be equal, let's sort out football." stephanie, really good to talk to you, thank you for speaking to us today. you, thank you for speaking to us toda . . ~ you, thank you for speaking to us toda . ., ~ i. you, thank you for speaking to us today-_ that's - you, thank you for speaking to us today._ that's it - you, thank you for speaking to us. today._ that's it for me, today. thank you. that's it for me, christian will _ today. thank you. that's it for me, christian will be _ today. thank you. that's it for me, christian will be here _ today. thank you. that's it for me, christian will be here with - today. thank you. that's it for me, christian will be here with the - christian will be here with the context, but before that, here's the weather with helen. good evening. the rather autumnal weather picture will continue for the end of the working week as well. we've had more heavy rain or heavy showers today. the showers continue as we go through the night. at least it'll be different to last night, when it was the persistent rain, 30—40 millimetres, that pushed through southern and eastern areas. we have had another dollop, though, of persistent rain in the north, showers in between. now, that band of rain in the north will tend to fragment to showers, but we could see further heavy,

thundery showers moving into central and eastern areas, as well as a scattering elsewhere as that band of rain makes its way southwards. but in between, some clear spells and a cooler, fresher night. notably so across southern parts of england and wales compared with last night. we move into friday, and those showers may take a couple of hours to clear away from eastern areas. and then it's a day of sunny spells and scattered showers. again, there'll be some heavy showers rushing through on a stronger wind. that'll be the notable difference, i think, for most of us, that wind coming down from the north or north—west, really quite strong around some of the coastlines and over the hills, and pushing those showers ever southwards. so temperatures on a par with those of today, but i think it will feel a little bit cooler because of the strength of that wind. but the winds ease away, then, during the night on friday and a little ridge of high pressure, a window of drier, calmer weather. so part one of the weekend does look like the drier day at the moment. we might have some early morning mist and some fog around, but then in comes the rain

and the cloud ahead of this, i think, to bring it to northern ireland in particular. but for many of us, there'll be some good spells of sunshine, 16—17 on the cards. now, moving into saturday night, we see the remnants of, this time, hurricane nigel moving in. so there's more energy in the atmosphere. again, some tropical moisture. so, yes, we're going to see windier, wetter weather returning for sunday. it's likely, we think, that southern and eastern areas might escape the rain, certainly more cloud around and more breeze as well. this time, it's changing to the south, coming up from the south or the south—west. the temperatures rise actually during sunday, but with it in many areas, some fairly persistent and heavy rain, which will take a time to clear on monday. and even once it does, as you can see, it's a rather showery, unsettled picture as we go into next week. more online.

hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. because of budget disputes that ongoing funding for ukraine could... president biden will announce a new package of military assistance today that includes significant air defence capabilities to help ukraine protect its people. president zelensky is refused an opportunity to address a joint session of the us congress. but he has met republican leaders today to put the case for more weapons and more aid.

how was that received? we will get the thoughts tonight from capitol hill. also tonight, love him or loathe him, rupert murdoch unquestionably, was one of the most influential figures of the modern era. today he handed the reigns of his powerful companies today he handed the reins of his powerful companies to his eldest son. and another allegation is levelled against the actor and comedian russel brand, and comedian russell brand, this time in la. good evening, the ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky is in the white house this hour, at the end a busy day, in which he has been lobbying the us congrees for more american aid. his visit comes at a fraught time in washington. house republicans divided over spending, the us government hurtling towards a shutdown and the hardline conservatives deeply opposed to spending more on the war. the $24 billion of aid and further military spending the white house wants congress to approve has been

removed from the stop gap bill house speaker.
