with his courageous nation. applause— with his courageous nation. applause we need to send another message _ applause we need to send another message to - applause we need to send l another message to vladimir putin. your interference in our democracy, promoting this information and encouraging disorder on our streets, encouraging collector cuts to store their ill gotten gains in our property market, must end! and that's why... that's why i'm proud to tell conference together with our two closest allies, the united states and canada, and the rest of the g7, we are taking action against russian disinformation, exposing their agents,

building... working with the global south to take on putin flies. applause conference, last year, we read the horrific news had murdered around 1200 israelis, and kidnapped 250 others. what is followed those atrocities is a horrific war. tens of thousands of palestinian women and children killed and injured. their homes turned to rubble. leaving gaza a vision of hell on earth. meanwhile, dozens of israelis remain captive and israelis remain captive and israel faces threats from all

angles. with iran and its proxies seeking to wipe israel off the map. conference, i know, like me, you are desperate to see the conflict in the middle east come to an end. this labour government has already made clear britain's principles. in my first weeks of government i went to israel and the occupied palestinian territories to call for an immediate ceasefire. words, no previous foreign secretary had even used. applause we have used the full weight of britain's diplomacy to push to protect civilians now. get all the hostages out now. unrestricted aid into gaza now. we provided millions to fund

field hospitals in gaza. we bought the security council together to demand polio vaccinations for palestinian children. we have respected the end dependence of the international courts and we have made the right to decision... the right decisions to stand up for international law. applause we called out the violent settlers in the west bank. we have continued to fight for the hostages and to support their families. we have never lost sight of the end goal. a irreversible pathway to rewards a two state solution. applause i believe in the right of israel to be safe and secure. i

also believe in the justness of the palestinian cause. it is only once... applause palestinians and israelis have the same fundamental rights. sovereignty, security and dignity in their own independent recognise states, that we can achieve a just and lasting peace for all. applause in recent days we've seen a worrying escalation between israel and lebanese hezbollah. this is in no ones interest. a message to all parties is clear. we need an immediate ceasefire from both sides. we want to get to a political

centre settlement. so israelis can return to their homes, and lebanese, and live in peace and security. two british nationals still in lebanon, let me be very clear. for your own safety, leave now. iran is not only destabilising the middle east, but providing support to putin is barbaric war. that is why we put restrictions... and moved sanctions against the ir pc. conference, in a world filled with conflict, it is easy to take our eyes of the most fundamental threat our world faces. the climate

emergency. treated by the last government with the cynical disdain that we cannot afford. with keir starmer and ed miliband i will help restore the climate leadership, for britishjob the climate leadership, for british job security and growth. and because climate matters. climate and nature crisis will be central to all labour foreign office does. because climate matters. labour will lead a new global clean power alliance, will lead a new global clean poweralliance, because will lead a new global clean power alliance, because clean power alliance, because clean power matters. with labour britain has founded gb energy because climate matters. we will accelerate onshore wind, why? because climate matters!

we will appoint new climate and new nature envoys, because climate matters. we have pledged to end new oil and gas licenses while guaranteeing a fair transition in the north sea, why? because climate matters! applause conference, the conservatives abandoned our leadership on international development, too. and with my dear friend anneliese dodds we will strengthen the leadership, capability and support faster reform to the global financial system. our goal is nothing less than a world free from

poverty on a livable planet. that's what a labour government will achieve. conference, the world we face is filled with conflict... in europe and the middle east... but together, we have a once—in—a—lifetime opportunity to make change that we want to see. notjust in britain, but in europe and in the world. justus clem attlee is government built after the second world war. just as tony blair and gordon brown transformed our public

services, keir starmer�*s labour party at the duty to make history. with a decade of national renewable. our prime minister has laid out five missions to give our country what it needs. five missions that will allow britain to return to the top table of international diplomacy. a briton reconnected, a britain back where it belongs, conference, thank you, thank you very much. applause applause a standing ovation therefore the foreign secretary as he addresses the labour party conference. the first labour party that the conference is holding for almost 15 years, in power the first conference in power. a significant conference

for the labour party and we heard there a wide—ranging speech from the labour party let's crossover to our correspondent who was watching that. he's had a busy start to his position as foreign secretary, anything that stood out particularly to you? fix, out particularly to you? couple of points i would say. there was a real emphasis on trying to draw a distinction between this governments approach and the previous governments approach when it comes to global relations. he was saying that britain is back on the global stage as a consequence of a labour government being in power. we know that that has been a key part of what keir starmer is trying to achieve. he is right talked about a reset with european leaders... you then i

dashed to the european capitals... and he hosted the european immunity at blenheim palace. there was a big push from david lammy to suggest that they have been working on relationships with world leaders and trying to cement britain's place in the world stage. but specifically, as you would expect he talked about ukraine. he reiterated britain's support for ukraine. he didn't and i don't think you would have expected him to, talk about that question about whether ukraine should lose long—range racial missiles... —— long—range missiles... he didn't take it head on, but he reiterated britain's support for ukraine. another area that is particularly difficult is what is happening in the middle east. yesterday outside the conference we saw a large pro—palestinian protest.

listening to the speech, he chose his words pretty carefully. he did say there was a recent escalation and it was worrying and he repeated what he said before that there are british citizens in lebanon that he advised to get out. it was a wide—ranging speech from the foreign secretary, pretty well received in the hole. some of these areas do run up against and tension within the labour party. against and tension within the labour party-— against and tension within the labour party. took us through the rest of _ labour party. took us through the rest of the _ labour party. took us through the rest of the agenda... - labour party. took us through the rest of the agenda... the | the rest of the agenda... the key moment will be when keir starmer stands. we key moment will be when keir starmer stands.— starmer stands. we have had today key _ starmer stands. we have had today key speeches _ starmer stands. we have had today key speeches from - starmer stands. we have had today key speeches from the | today key speeches from the foreign secretary and a little earlier the deputy prime minister. tomorrow, is an economy themed day and we will hear from the chancellor, rachel reeves. that will be a crucial speech because there's been a lot of conversation about what we've heard from the chancellor around economic

predictions and tough choices... there's been questions about whether that is too pessimistic, will we hear a change of tone tomorrow. will she addressed head on that question about winter fuel payments where there really is some tension, not least among the unions that labour is taking the wrong approach. as you say, the big moment will be keir starmer speech which will be on tuesday. i suspect on tuesday there will be queues to hear him. this is the labour party is first conference in power for 15 years. this party is first conference in powerfor 15 years. this is keir starmer is first conference speech as leader. —— prime minister. this will set

the tone and direction from what were expecting from the government in the monks and with a header. we government in the monks and with a header.— with a header. we 'ust heard that wide-ranging _ with a header. we just heard that wide-ranging speech . with a header. we just heard l that wide-ranging speech from that wide—ranging speech from the british foreign secretary. one of the things that he was talking about was that ongoing and escalating time in within the middle east. that fighting between israel and hezbollah when intensifying overnight and we have just had words from hezbollah... the deputy leader is saying that this is an open ending battle of reckoning, so that rhetoric is really ramping up. we will continue to monitor what is happening on the ground. the white house has

said... military escalation is not in israel's best interest. this is all against the backdrop of rocket strikes between israel and lebanon. we will keep you updated for the time being... let's turn to germany, where voters in the east state of brandenburg are heading to the polls to elect a new regional government. the anti—migrant, far—right alternative for germany, also known as afd, could win the most votes in the former east german state. earlier in the month, the afd won a major german election for the first time, coming first in the eastern state of thuringia. latest polling in brandenburg had the afd in the lead with 28%. brandenburg has been ruled by the social democrats — the party of olf schultz — since reunification in 1990, as our correspondent

mark lowen told me. so if that party loses brandenburg, it would be a major setback for the party and a major setback also for olaf schulz, who lives in the state and is hoping to lead the spd into germany's federal elections next year, but is, according to polls, the least popular chancellor since german reunification. so if the spd were to lose, to come second to the afd, there would be even deeper questions over his ability to lead the party into those elections next year. but also just consider germany's history. 20th century history. i mean, we're talking about a country that, of course, lived through the the nazis and the second world war and is now seeing this far—right party, which is classified in some states as right wing extremist, topping the polls in regional elections. when they won in thuringia earlier this month, it was seen as a political earthquake, the biggest electoral victory for the far right since the second world war. if it wins in brandenburg, that would show the strength of that party nationwide. and it would be a major shock to many germans who feel extremely concerned

about the far right, anti—migrant positions of that party. a mass shooting in the us state of alabama has left at least four people dead. police say several gunmen fired at people in the five points south district of birmingham, just after 11:00pm local time. two men and a woman were found dead at the scene. a fourth victim died in hospital. 18 were wounded, with in a critical condition. police have not arrested anyone over the shooting and are appealing to the public for information. president biden has said he will announce a new executive order on gun law soon. the russian dissident, vladimir kara—murza has said he doesn t regret speaking out against the kremlin, despite being sent to prison in siberia. mr kara—murza was arrested more than two years ago, but released last month as part of a prisoner swap.

in an interview with the bbc s laura kuenssberg, he insisted his protest was worthwhile ? although he said he missed his wife and children. here s our europe regional editor, paul moss he was sentenced to 25 years in prison. he appears remarkably healthy and remarkably calm as healthy and remarkably calm as he sits talking about his decision to criticise vladimir putin decision to criticise vladimir puti ., . ., u, decision to criticise vladimir puti ., ., , putin how could i call on my fellow citizens _ putin how could i call on my fellow citizens to _ putin how could i call on my fellow citizens to stand - putin how could i call on my fellow citizens to stand up l fellow citizens to stand up against him if i didn't do myself. against him if i didn't do m self. ., ., ., ~ ., against him if i didn't do mself. . . ., ~ ., myself. vladimir kara-murza was released and _ myself. vladimir kara-murza was released and exchanged - myself. vladimir kara-murza was released and exchanged for- released and exchanged for russian prisoners held in the west. his family were in the us

including the incumbent, ranil wick—remesinghe. all of them are men. our south asia correspondent samira hussain is in colombo gave me an update on how the vote count is going in terms of counting the election officials have said that they're going to look at the second preferential candidate from voters. what has happened is they look at all of the ballots that are in and if no candidate emerges as having a clear majority, which is 50%, plus one vote, they then go to the second preference of voters. so that process is due to begin shortly. and when that starts, the expectation is that it's going to happen fairly quickly in terms of counting those ballots. and by then, there should be a candidate

that will emerge as the dominant candidate, oras that will emerge as the dominant candidate, or as the majority winning candidate. so far, if you look at the election result you will see that the marxist leftist candidate is in the lead but he has 40% of the boats right now. closely leading behind him is the leader of the opposition, and he has about 38% of the vote as of right now. it is a very tight election at the moment. head teachers have been given the ability to ban phones... in schools... . the -hone

hello there. if you've been caught in some of the thundery rain around this morning, you'll know it's pretty wet out there. some places have had as much as 50mm of rain. this was earlier in the day, but i think we'll get some more showers developing in the brighter slots further south. so, if you're travelling across england and wales for the rest of the day, there'll be a lot of excess spray and standing water on the roads which will cause flooding. the details of the warnings are on the website because we now have an amberwarning. this is for tomorrow for monday's rain, but i think a large area of england and wales will be affected by that rain. up to 60 or 80mm could fall, and that's on top of what we've already seen through yesterday and today as well. so the rest of the day, as i say, there'll be quite a lot of rain around, showery rain with some heavy thunderstorms, torrential downpours, large hail and gusty winds and temperatures as a result of a bit more cloud in the sky a little lower. further north, some good sunshine across western scotland, parts of northern ireland and the northwest of england, but near the east coast.

again, we've got that misty low cloud which rolls back in overnight. now overnight tonight, as that low pressure that's driving all this heavy, thundery rain just moves a little closer, you can see that rain starting to become a more organised band of really intense rain. so again, a warm and muggy night. a little bit fresher in the glens of scotland, further north and west. but obviously there'll be a lot of mist and merc around again tomorrow morning, even in the south. but tomorrow for england and wales, real concerns that we could see, as i mentioned earlier, a months worth of rain, if not more, in a few spots on top of what's fallen last night and today could result in some flooding issues and certainly some disruptive weather around with that thunder and lightning and temperatures just taking a dip once again even further north to because we've got a weather front approaching from the north. so for monday, it looks like we'll see the wettest weather across england and wales for tuesday. a little bit drier across england, wales, but some heavy rain coming in across this weather front into scotland. and then from midweek onwards we've got another area of low pressure rushing in off the atlantic, this time, notjust rain. there could be a sting

in its tail, it could be some strong winds. so, do stay tuned if your plans. and as that clears away, it opens the gates to this northerly arctic wind. so, it's getting much colder by the end of the week. but there's a lot of weather to happen between now and then. the warnings, as i say there on the website.
