8:04 pm
the attack comes as vladimir putin has been speaking at a meeting in the black sea resort of sochi. russia's president again blamed the west for his invasion of ukraine. he said russia didn't start the 20—month—long war against ukraine and is trying to bring it to an end. translation: since the beginning of the so-called counteroffensive, | this is the latest data. since june 4th alone, l the ukrainian army has lost over 90,000 men. these are irrecoverable losses. 557 tanks, almost 1900 armoured i vehicles, including various classes. is it now convincing we have - an understanding what goes where? we understand what we need to do or what we need to add. _ we are currently working to achieve our goals, - and i'm sure we will achieve them. many countries at that summit
8:05 pm
in granada are also wanting to talk about the issue of migration. spain's prime minister, pedro sanchez, says his country cannot cope with irregular immigration without help from the european union. the bloc is seeking a deal on handling new arrivals less than a year before continent—wide elections. sea arrivals to spain from senegal and other african countries increased by a fifth so far this year compared with last year, with more than 3500 reaching the canary islands last month because of milder weather and calmer seas, according to official statistics. translation: what cannot happen is that there are certain _ zones in our country — such as southern spain, the canary islands or balearic islands — to face and assume all this irregular migration phenomenon without the solidarity of the rest of european countries. so i think we have reached a balance point that is good for spain. mepjuan fernando lopez aguilar, chair of the european parliament's

what president biden has said. authorising the construction of a wall is a setback. it does not solve the problem. the us secretary of state attempted to get things back on track, speaking about what the two nations had in common. we're proceeding based on a sense of shared responsibility, cooperation, collaboration, mutual respect. this framework reflects our nations' shared interests and shared responsibility in addressing crime, violence, trafficking. it also underscores a shared understanding that we have that while policing and border enforcement are absolutely critical tools, they alone cannot address the complex drivers of our security challenges. we can cross now to mexico city, where we can speak to journalist james frederick. thanks very much for coming on the

8:22 pm
different for a couple of reasons. i think, firstly, unlike lots of other products that may not be good for you, there's no safe level of smoking. can't be part of a balanced diet. it's also obviously highly addictive, and it is responsible for one in four cancer deaths in our country. it kills 64,000 people a year. it's the single biggest preventable cause of death, disability and illness that we see. and it puts monumental pressure on the nhs. 0ne hospital admission every single minute, £17 billion in cost to our nhs and our country. that was rishi sunak sending out part of his vision. i am joined now by henry hill, the deputy editor of the conservative home website. thank you very much for coming on the programme. rishi sunak acknowledging there is the tension between large state and small state. sunakism, can you define it? ito. between large state and small state. sunakism, can you define it? i0, i sunakism, can you define it? no, i still cannot— sunakism, can you define it? no, i still cannot even _ sunakism, can you define it? no, i still cannot even after— sunakism, can you define it? no, i still cannot even after his - sunakism, can you define it? no, i still cannot even after his speech i still cannot even after his speech yesterday. i was waiting and i think that was— yesterday. i was waiting and i think that was one of the problems but it's really— that was one of the problems but it's really added up to a series of

8:26 pm
course of the weekend. now, for the rest of thursday evening and overnight, we've got some wet weather through parts of wales, the midlands. later in the night, more rain into parts of northern ireland and southern scotland, as well. either side of that, some clearer, drier weather, and it's going to be a mild night, much milder than last night across scotland. lows between about 10—15 degrees to start your friday. that's more typical of daytime temperatures this time of year. now, through the day on friday, then, some more wet weather for northern ireland, initially, southern scotland, parts of northern england as well. further south across england and for much of wales, a predominantly dry day. some mist and some low cloud, particularly around coats and hills towards the west. sunny spells, but cooler conditions across the north of scotland. so the mid—teens here, but 22—23 degrees possible down towards the south—east. now, heading on into the weekend, then, we've got this frontal system, and it's going to be really slow moving, bringing some rain on saturday. that divides the cool air across the far north of scotland to the much warmer, humid air that's going to be piling in from the south. so saturday, plenty of dry, sunny weather for much of england, wales, northern ireland, too. a bit of cloud and mistiness. but for scotland, it is going to be
8:27 pm
pretty wet under that rain. could be some localised flooding. now, temperatures for most of us 19—25 degrees or so, but only around 10—15 with the cooler air and the rain across parts of scotland. so a day of real contrasts. we've still got this front with us into sunday, but it starts to lift a bit further north and it'll tend to turn a little bit more lighter and patchier through the day. so still some rain in the far north across parts of scotland on sunday, but for the rest of the uk, another fine, dry day with autumn sunshine around. probably not quite as warm as saturday, but still temperatures up to about 23 degrees in the south—east. typically the mid—teens, though, across parts of scotland. so the outlook — lots of dry, warm weather for parts of england and wales over the next five days or so. a few showers further north, but temperatures for all of us will be above average for the time of year. bye— bye.
