9:30 pm
you do that without hse. the is how you do that without hsz. the map you showed, the bit of red there between manchester and some of those other northern cities came about hs2 by manchester airport. so, other northern cities came about hs2 by manchesterairport. so, i other northern cities came about hs2 by manchester airport. so, i will be listening very carefully to the speech tomorrow, but i am concerned that those plans want to deliver the benefits they should. {lila that those plans want to deliver the benefits they should.— benefits they should. 0k, we will watch the speech _ benefits they should. 0k, we will watch the speech with _ benefits they should. 0k, we will watch the speech with great - benefits they should. 0k, we will. watch the speech with great interest tomorrow. the prime minister do to make that announcement among other things which we may well talk about in the rest of the programme. hello. it's been a day of sunny spells, but also 1—2 sharp showers. here's the satellite picture from earlier on — and you can see a lot of bright weather. and there, just on the edge of the screen, that's the weather front that swept across the country last night and brought the thunder and lightning. now tonight, another weather front is approaching —
9:31 pm
this time, it'll reach the north of northern ireland, and will also start to move across scotland. and this is the beginning of a very wet spell across this part of the country. our temperatures early in the morning between around 8—10 celsius. now, back to that weather front — you can see it moving across northern ireland and into scotland. if you're underneath that weather front, you could have 2—3 days of really wet weather, whereas in the south, closer to the area of high pressure, the weather's looking fine across the bulk of england and wales. just a few showers here, relatively warm. but that rain front — a narrow one — keeps on moving in the same place. so in some spots across scotland, we could have 50 millimetres of rain — that's a couple of inches — and in the highlands, in the extreme case, even 2—3 times that amount. so that's wednesday, this is wednesday evening. and that weather front moves into southern parts of scotland, just clips the lake district there, and it's also across northern ireland. so a distinct divide
9:32 pm
between the cooler north and that slightly milder air in the south. now, here's thursday — notice that the wind direction changes, and it's now coming in from the south. that means thicker cloud and some outbreaks of rain crossing ireland, and also western parts of scotland. maybe some damp weather around the irish sea, too. that means the further east and southeast you are on thursday, the brighter the weather will be. and then, skipping to the weekend — look at the weather systems, the large—scale patterns across the atlantic, one of low pressure here. but look at these winds coming in from the south. now, this is because of the pattern of the jet stream higher in the atmosphere, at around 30,000 feet, and this big dip in the jet stream, or trough, will basically move that warmer atmosphere in the southern climes from spain and portugal, across france and towards the uk. so, temperatures will be climbing across many parts of western europe, and here in the uk, we'll probably get to the mid—20s, maybe peaking at 26—27 celsius briefly. even in belfast, temperatures hovering around 20 or so, cardiff in the low 20s, as well. so warmer weather, yes, is on the way. bye— bye.
9:33 pm
9:34 pm
hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. for the first time ever, the us government fines a company for leaving spacejunk orbiting the earth. horrendous events tonight, a bus crash that careered off the flyover in the city centre, a0 people injured. the mayor in contact with the prime minister, who is in touch
9:35 pm
with the emergency services. we are watching that story closely. we will bring you any news as and when we get at. welcome back. britain and nato have warned that western military powers are running out of ammunition to give ukraine to defend itself against russia's invasion. admiral rob bauer, nato's most senior military official, told a security conference in warsaw that "the bottom of the barrel is now visible". the uk defence minister, james heappey, told the forum military stockpiles were "looking a bit thin". that comes on the back of some political moves in recent days that are testing the alliance. in washington republican lawmakers derailed efforts to send another tranche of aid to ukraine. and in slovakia, till now one of ukraine's biggest supporters, the pro kremlin robert fico was elected prime minister. here's the message from the white house tonight. as ukrainians wage a tough
9:36 pm
counteroffensive, as their children continue to get direct from the bosom of their families and as winter fast approaches, it is imperative that we help them take advantage of every single day. a lapse in support for even a short period of time could make all the difference on the battlefield. just as critically, such a lapse in support will make putin believe that he can wait us out. 0ur diplomatic correspondent james landale is at the security conference in warsaw. james, there have been concerns for some months now about european inventories. is it coming to a head? this is not a new problem as you say. they have been thinking about this for sometime. they have been trying to act to deal with that. they say how can the west, europe and the united states, cooperate more to make easier to develop more of these weapons, get more factory
9:37 pm
set up so they can build things up. they talked about getting new contracts, long—term contracts to defence manufacturers so they can jack up the production of the ammunition, essentially artillery shells which they need to many, many thousands. clearly, so far, it has just been talk. it hasn't made an impact. the warnings that we have had here in worse i have been very, very clear, saying those stocks are running low. we need to do more. we need to act faster. so there is a really interesting hard discussion to be had, notjust about defence spending but also about how you can change your economy so that you have an industrial base that can build these things. the british minister was saying, love, the problem is that in the old days, we all used to have lots of large manufacturing plants that were building other things. the example he gave our locomotive trains that you could quickly turn into making tanks. well, you cannot do that these days
9:38 pm
and i think they are really struggling. i and i think they are really struggling-— and i think they are really struggling. and i think they are really stru: culin. ., ., struggling. i rented a, one line, we don't have — struggling. i rented a, one line, we don't have a _ struggling. i rented a, one line, we don't have a tank _ struggling. i rented a, one line, we don't have a tank to _ struggling. i rented a, one line, we don't have a tank to send, - struggling. i rented a, one line, we don't have a tank to send, we - struggling. i rented a, one line, we don't have a tank to send, we don't have missiles to send. but we are completely out. what does that say about our own inventory? weill. completely out. what does that say about our own inventory? well, that is the dilemma _ about our own inventory? well, that is the dilemma that _ about our own inventory? well, that is the dilemma that all _ about our own inventory? well, that is the dilemma that all western - is the dilemma that all western allies are trying to deal with at the moment. they have to balance giving ammunition and weapons to ukraine while also maintaining their own security. for example, the polish national security minister, his day was very, very clear, saying that poland would only give as much as it could. he said, look, you know, a weak rescuer is no rescue her. so it is clearly something that is on many allied mines, but they know that actually at the moment, they need to worry about security, that security is being defended by ukraine at the moment, so that is where they need to send their military material. the problem they've got is how they can start
9:39 pm
replenishing their stocks at the same pace at which they been depleted by ukraine. at the moment, they are not doing that.— they are not doing that. james, thank you _ they are not doing that. james, thank you very _ they are not doing that. james, thank you very much _ they are not doing that. james, thank you very much for - they are not doing that. james, thank you very much for that i they are not doing that. james, - thank you very much for that adam, former defence secretary, ben wallace, said yesterday that he asked rishi sunak to spend £2.3 billion more on military support to ukraine. as rishi sunak being asked questions about this? are there concerns that maybe he's not as supportive as ukraine as boris johnson was?— supportive as ukraine as boris johnson was? �* g ., ,., �* johnson was? brent johnson with ben wallace suoporting — johnson was? brent johnson with ben wallace supporting him _ johnson was? brent johnson with ben wallace supporting him was - johnson was? brent johnson with ben wallace supporting him was making l wallace supporting him was making very clear that this wasn't a particular conflict between two nations between russia and ukraine, it was instead a much broader battle between russia and the free world. i think for all of his many faults, borisjohnson as a prime minister was right to lead on that and it's a difficult act for rishi sunak to follow. he has been trying to reconcile some of the numbers and pressures on the budget. i think the thing that is important here is whether this is a practical
9:40 pm
consideration, we don't have enough of the kit or the equipment that is being asked for a one that is about a broader level of commitment where we can make up for not having that cat by investing in other countries and trying to speed up production in places where it is possible. i'm fairly convinced that put the pen minister in the foreign secretary are committed to ensuring that ukraine is supported will stop it's been really impressive, actually, the british public have remained supportive of the government in that aim. , , . ~ , ., ., aim. just quickly, we have heard from the white _ aim. just quickly, we have heard from the white house _ aim. just quickly, we have heard from the white house tonight i aim. just quickly, we have heard i from the white house tonight that they are looking to support ukraine, but there is one line out of washington tonight that there are only two months of funding left and that really is why this boat in the house of representatives this evening is so important because if they don't have a speaker, if there isn't a spending bill and aa days' time or if there isn't a deal to send more money to ukraine, that funding dries up.— send more money to ukraine, that funding dries up. limited in the us, biden has had _ funding dries up. limited in the us, biden has had the _ funding dries up. limited in the us, biden has had the us _ funding dries up. limited in the us, biden has had the us will continue l biden has had the us will continue to sunport — biden has had the us will continue to support ukraine. according to a recent_ to support ukraine. according to a recent poll— to support ukraine. according to a recent poll that was done, a

come to us. waiting if i ever aware of the bus has careened down onto the road below. there are 20 people that have been killed in this accident. i've seen some pretty grim pictures while i've been with you tonight to people being laid out on the road with blankets over them. it is pretty depressing to watch. a0 people seriously injured in this bus crash. you see about the bus crash site, the emergency services looking at where the bus left the road. fire services, fire crews on location at the moment. we don't have any information at this point as to what caused the accident and why it's careered off that bridge. but we have heard from the mayor that he is in contact with the prime minister and the deputy prime minister this evening and clearly there is still a very active emergency operation under way, a0 people trapped in the bus and you can well imagine that a
9:45 pm
bus and you can well imagine that a bus that drops that level from a fight over onto the road below, it is obviously a very serious situation. so that is what we are looking at in venice at the moment. let's see if we can join our correspondent in the newsroom. can you tell me any further about any news on how this happened and why the bus left the road? ., , ., , , ~ , road? know, there is no news yet. as ou road? know, there is no news yet. as you mentioned. _ road? know, there is no news yet. as you mentioned, the _ road? know, there is no news yet. as you mentioned, the details _ road? know, there is no news yet. as you mentioned, the details are - road? know, there is no news yet. as you mentioned, the details are still. you mentioned, the details are still coming in. what we do know is that at least 20 people have died. it was after the coach fell off an overpass near venice in northern italy and fell onto the railway lines. it actually fell ten metres and then later caught fire. we are hearing from news outlets is that it happened around 7:a5pm local time. the cause is not yet known. but at least 18 bodies have been pulled out

9:48 pm
representatives. i think he is going to give us a result.— to give us a result. conferences to meet and discuss _ to give us a result. conferences to meet and discuss the _ to give us a result. conferences to meet and discuss the path - to give us a result. conferences to | meet and discuss the path forward. accordingly, pursuant to clause 12 a of rule one, the chair declares the house and reset subject to the call of the chair. . house and reset sub'ect to the call of the chair. .i of the chair. . that is the chair that has called _ of the chair. . that is the chair that has called for— of the chair. . that is the chair that has called for recess, i of the chair. . that is the chair that has called for recess, but| of the chair. . that is the chair| that has called for recess, but i can tell you that kevin mccarthy has just been ousted as the speaker of the house of representatives. let's go to barbara pat usher who is watching. right, so, the seat is vacated. what does that mean? what happens next, barbara? {jut vacated. what does that mean? what happens next, barbara?— happens next, barbara? out, you are not the only — happens next, barbara? out, you are not the only one _ happens next, barbara? out, you are not the only one asking _ happens next, barbara? out, you are not the only one asking that - not the only one asking that question, christian, when republican was heard largely saying now what the? and it has to be said, this is a very rare sort of thing, although the motion has been brought up christ for and i think in either of those cases the speaker was actually voted out. we are in uncharted territory. now, according to the rules as we know them, somebody will
9:49 pm
step into his position. he had drawn up step into his position. he had drawn up a list of the people who could take over from up a list of the people who could take overfrom him if he up a list of the people who could take over from him if he was incapacitated. so somebody will fail that chair, but theirjob is going to be to get a vote sorted for a new speaker. and the work of the house has to stop, we understand until that new speaker is elected. i don't know who that is going to be. we don't know if it is going to be as dramatic and long—standing as the previous one was. we don't even know if mr mccarthy himself might be put forward by the majority of the party, which does back him. so it is a wait and see at the moment. . the a wait and see at the moment. , the rebels where — a wait and see at the moment. , the rebels where there? _ a wait and see at the moment. , the rebels where there? there - a wait and see at the moment. , the rebels where there? there where... | rebels where there? there where... rirht and rebels where there? there where... right and excited _ rebels where there? there where... right and excited to _ rebels where there? there where... right and excited to put _ rebels where there? there where... right and excited to put you - rebels where there? there where... right and excited to put you on i rebels where there? there where... right and excited to put you on the | right and excited to put you on the spot. compared to the last boat and the procedural vote. there were ten. it was pretty much the same. without saying exactly, it was pretty much the same. , , ,,

9:51 pm
currently playing. let's see. manchester united and arguably the most dramatic game of the night, you will see mario putting galatasaray in front, with ten minutes to go, twice united had that, they have had —— had casimeiro sent off and conceded a penalty. arsenal are also behind in stoppage time in france. they are up against lens. let's show you what has happened thereafter for them, because lens did find an equaliser, and this seemingly then, the goal that will win the game for them, and that is in stoppage time, like i said i had to have been one to have been one the score there. for the french side. keep in stoppage time. we will keep you up—to—date at the end of this bulletin if we get to result on the game. united losing at arsenal.
9:52 pm
0ne game in the premier league tonight, that is a result, and relief for burnley fans, they finally have their first win of the league season. ——luton town hosting burnley — the game was postponed in august because kenilworth road still undergoing improvement work. and relief for burnley as they pick up their first win of this premier league campaign, 2—1winners. ——the goal coming a minute after luton had equalised. both sides now have four points — three more than bottom placed sheffield united. next to the fallout from the wrong var decision that denied liverpool a goal at tottenham on saturday. the audio from the incident has been made public. the referees governing body says a new communication protocol will now be developed to stop it happening again. luis diaz�* goal was ruled out for offside — but the var should have overturned that. instead — a lack of concentration and loss of focus accroding to the pgmol, led to the onfield decision being wrongly confirmed. to give you a sense of what happened
9:53 pm
— here's some of the audio. check complete, check complete, it's fine. perfect. off. thank you, mate. wait, wait, wait, wait, _ the on field decision was offside, are you happy with this? yeah. are you happy with this? offside, yes. delay the game, delay i the game, stop the game. they've restarted the game. they've restarted, yeah. can't do anything. no. i can't do anything, i can't do anything. bleep. writes, let's turn our attention to tennis. the two time grand slam champion carlos alcaraz is out of the china open — the top seed has been knocked out by jannick sinner. the first set was close, with sinner, the 22 year old italian, edging it on a tiebreak, but he ran away with the second 6—1. he now leads their head to head a—3 and will rise to a career—high of fourth in the world after the tournament. and awaiting sinner in the final
9:54 pm
on wednesday will be the former us 0pen champion daniil medvedev. he beat alexander zverev 6—a, 6—3 in the other semi—final and will look forward to playing sinner next because he's won all six of their previous matches. but the british number one katie boulter is out of the china open — after being beten by the world number one aryna sabalenka in the second round. boulter, bottom of the screen, had her opportunities and was serving for both sets when leading 5 games to a, but ended up losing 7—5, 7—6 to the current australian open champion. sabalenka will face italy's jasmine paolini for a place in the quarter—finals. in the women's draw in beijing the new us open champion coco gauff extended her winning run to 1a matches, but needed more than three hours to reach the third round. the american beat petra martic to reach the last 16 of her first
9:55 pm
tournament since wnning the title in new york, despite the croatian serving for the match in the third set that gauff eventually won on a deciding tiebreak. second seed iga swiatek also went through to the next round beating france's varvara gracheva in straight sets 6—a, 6—1. winging it in the end. i can tell you in the last few minutes, full—time whistle in france. arsenal lost 2—1 to lens in france. manchester united currently losing 3—2 to galatasary at home...and that's all the sport for now. hello. it's been a day of sunny spells, but also 1—2 sharp showers. here's the satellite picture from earlier on — and you can see a lot
9:56 pm
of bright weather. and there, just on the edge of the screen, that's the weather front that swept across the country last night and brought the thunder and lightning. now tonight, another weather front is approaching — this time, it'll reach the north of northern ireland, and will also start to move across scotland. and this is the beginning of a very wet spell across this part of the country. 0ur temperatures early in the morning between around 8—10 celsius. now, back to that weather front — you can see it moving across northern ireland and into scotland. if you're underneath that weather front, you could have 2—3 days of really wet weather, whereas in the south, closer to the area of high pressure, the weather's looking fine across the bulk of england and wales. just a few showers here, relatively warm. but that rain front — a narrow one — keeps on moving in the same place. so in some spots across scotland, we could have 50 millimetres of rain — that's a couple of inches — and in the highlands, in the extreme case, even 2—3 times that amount. so that's wednesday, this is wednesday evening. and that weather front moves into southern parts of scotland, just clips the lake district there,
9:57 pm
and it's also across northern ireland. so a distinct divide between the cooler north and that slightly milder air in the south. now, here's thursday — notice that the wind direction changes, and it's now coming in from the south. that means thicker cloud and some outbreaks of rain crossing ireland, and also western parts of scotland. maybe some damp weather around the irish sea, too. that means the further east and southeast you are on thursday, the brighter the weather will be. and then, skipping to the weekend — look at the weather systems, the large—scale patterns across the atlantic, one of low pressure here. but look at these winds coming in from the south. now, this is because of the pattern of the jet stream higher in the atmosphere, at around 30,000 feet, and this big dip in the jet stream, or trough, will basically move that warmer atmosphere in the southern climes from spain and portugal, across france and towards the uk. so, temperatures will be climbing across many parts of western europe, and here in the uk, we'll probably get to the mid—20s, maybe peaking at 26—27 celsius briefly. even in belfast, temperatures
9:58 pm
hovering around 20 or so, cardiff in the low 20s, as well. so warmer weather, yes, is on the way. bye— bye.
9:59 pm
tonight at ten — the hs2 rail line between birmingham and manchester will be scapped — that's what the prime minister is expected to announce tomorrow. high speed trains will run from london to birmingham — but from there they'll continue to manchester on existing lines. after weeks of swerving the question, tomorrow rishi sunak will
10:00 pm
answer it and attempt to reboot how he is seen and his political prospects. the other breaking story tonight — terrible scenes in italy after a bus falls off a flyover near venice — at least 20 people are dead and dozens have been injured. an insight into downing street during the pandemic as the diaries of key scientific adviser sir patrick vallance are published at the covid inquiry. delay the game, delay the game. they've restarted the game. and made public after liverpool's defeat by tottenham at the weekend — the disarray behind the scenes as match officials wrongly deprived liverpool of a goal. and on newsnight at 10:30... we'll go deeper behind the headlines and speak live to key players on today's big stories. plus — a first look at tomorrow's front pages.
