the walk to the podium to deliver the speech that no politician wants to give. but kamala harris owed it to the country to concede the election. a fundamental principle of american democracy is that when we lose an election, we accept the results. that principle, as much as any other, distinguishes democracy from monarchy or tyranny, and anyone who seeks the public trust must honour it. at the same time, in our nation, we owe loyalty not to a president or a party, but to the constitution of the united states. the party—like atmosphere from tuesday vanished. now, people unable to hide their disappointment. as the first female vice president, kamala harris has shattered glass ceilings. but one of the last remaining bastions of male

privilege in america, the white house, remains intact. her history—making run for the white house coming to a crushing end. miss harris left consoling her supporters. to the young people who are watching, it is... cheering. i love you. to the young people who are watching, it is ok to feel sad and disappointed, but please know it's going to be ok. a message of optimism they needed to hear. she did everything that she needed to do. like she really helped me feel better about the results. as i was feeling down, i was upset. i was lost, i cried, i didn't know what to do. so she really helped me to feel better, get some sense of confidence. even though things didn't go particularly in the way that we wanted it to, there's still hopes and things still have a positive side. i'm from pennsylvania, so seeing it turn red like, oh,

a hostel for homeless people to pledge £10 million to help rough sleepers cope with winter weather. £10 million is about recognising the catastrophic emergency situation we now see with homelessness, and councils are now seeing tremendous pressures on temporary accommodation budgets, which is tipping them over the edge. you show me your skills. 58—year—old stephen richards, an experienced chef, has spent the past six weeks living here after some time sleeping in gardens and woods — a temporary shelter as he tries to find the deposit to get his own place. things are too expensive now. years ago, a room in somebody�*s house was called a lodger. now they call it en—suite. they're charging for a bedroom — like £1,200 for a bedroom a month. reducing the need for hostels requires fewer people becoming homeless, and the charity behind this facility said that banning

no—fault evictions is a good start. the majority of people becoming homeless are coming out of the private rented sector, and section 21 evictions is the large driver. that's going to help dramatically. the sell off of council houses has been widely blamed for contributing to the homelessness crisis. the government has promised to build the largest number of social homes in a generation, and angela rayner says tenants of those new—builds may not be able to buy them. i don't want them leaving the system. so new council houses will not be able to be sold? we'll be making restrictions on them, so we'll make sure that we're not losing that stock. rough sleeping is the most visible form of homelessness, but many other people are reliant on temporary accommodation or friends' sofas for a roof. thousands of people living daily with the consequences of a broken housing system. michael buchanan, bbc news. detectives investigating claims of sexual abuse by the former radio 1 dj tim westwood have submitted a file of evidence to prosecutors
