seven battleground states. this leaves him with a final electoral college total of 312 votes. gaza's hamas—run civil defence agency says 25 people have been killed in an israeli air strike on a house injabalia —— including thirteen children. it says another five people were killed in a separate strike in gaza city. and — king charles and other senior royals have been leading events to mark remembrance sunday. on saturday evening, the festival of remembrance was held in london, to pay respect to serving personnel, veterans and their families. ukraine and russia have launched their biggest drone attacks against each other since the start of the war. according to the ukrainian military, russia launched 145 drones overnight across the country. ukraine 5 air defence

says they were able to shoot down 62 of them. meanwhile, russian officials said they'd destroyed 70 ukrainian drones across six regions. according to the mayor of moscow, 32 ukrainian drones were destroyed as they approached the russian capital, resulting in the temporary closure of two of moscow's international airports. our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse has the latest from kyiv. well, there are a lot of drones in the sky. to put it mildly. you know, since russia started targeting cities in this way with these drones since 2022. last night was a record. more than 145 were reportedly launched at cities and regions right across ukraine. here in kyiv, in in the centre, the eastern donetsk region, kharkiv in the northeast. the list goes on. it really was a sizeable, a sizeable attack where mostly iranian—made drones were used. they have a distinctive wingspan, a propeller

engine and quite a nasty warhead on the front packed with explosives, typically. and they are designed, broadly speaking, to terrorise populations. they're not usually used to hit military targets in that sense, but they fly over. you can hear their the sound of the engines. you can also hear air defences as well. and to be honest, this is a record night which follows a record month in october. more than 2,000 drones like this were launched across ukraine. sirens go almost every night and people have disturbed night's sleep. but this was also a night when ukraine launched its own drone attack on russia. you have the mayor of moscow saying more than 30 were intercepted on their way to the city. it caused two international airports to be closed. there's footage of of these unmanned ukrainian drones which are manufactured here in ukraine, flying overhead in russia.

intercepted in western russia on targets close to the border with ukraine. we've got the military here saying that they successfully hit an ammunition depot. so it really has been an eventful... night in the skies. and this all this always goes in tandem with the fighting on the ground. we're still seeing fierce battles in the east, where russia is inching forward. but still moscow is able to wage these aerial campaigns and ukraine tries to hit back where it can. does this represent an escalation in the conflict overall, though? i think this is a parfor the course, but especially so, let's put it like that. i think it is clear because these drones are relatively cheap, costing tens of thousands of pounds compared to millions with a missile. russia is able to sustain these kinds of attack. it is true that russia is advancing on multiple parts of the front line. it clearly is trying to take as much of ukraine as possible, not least with the us presidential

presidential election outcome, not least with uncertain political times ahead on whether there will be some kind of negotiation. but clearly russia is going for it, and it is escalating in a sense that it is leaning on north korea more. we are seeing the geopolitical footprint of this war enlarge, too. so perhaps an escalation, but in a war of attrition, it's about who loses first. and at the moment it is ukraine very much on the receiving end of this relentless invasion attacks from the sky. and it's looking to get any kind of leg up where it can. the head of the uk armed forces says russia has suffered its worst month of losses since the start of the war in ukraine. the chief of the defence staff, admiral sir tony radakin, said an average of 1,500 russian soldiers were killed or wounded every day in october. he added that russia had now lost more than 700,000 troops in the war, and was spending more than 40% of public expenditure on defence and security. he was speaking

to laura kuenssberg. russia is paying an extraordinary price for putin's illegal invasion. so october was the worst casualty figures for russia so far. on average, over 1,500 people either killed or wounded every single day. every day? every single day. and that is for tiny increments of land. there is no doubt that russia is making tactical territorial gains, and that is putting a pressure on ukraine, because ukraine is having to put more people to the frontline. and ukraine is also under pressure from the airborne attacks and the long—range missiles that are impacting on their energy infrastructure, which again hits the morale of the nation. but at the higher level, you then need to come back to russia. russia is spending over 40% of its public expenditure now on defence and security. that's more than it spends on education

and health combined. that's an enormous drain on russia as a country. and yet, from the outside looking at this, it looks like there is a horrific stalemate going on where on both sides there are dreadful losses, innocent civilians being caught up in a war and there is no sign of any breakthrough. but are you suggesting that putin can't sustain this? so i'm saying that the longer the war goes on for russia, the more difficult it is. russian economy is under pressure. it will be ok this year. it can survive next year. as you look through next year and into 2026, the russian economy is under more and more pressure. and the western approach has been to be really clear that western countries will maintain their support to ukraine and to do that for as long as it takes. and that's the message that president putin has to absorb. and that's the reassurance

for president zelensky. donald trump has completed his decisive victory in the us presidential election, with a projected win in arizona. it means he defeated kamala harris in all seven swing states. mr trump's final electoral college total is nearly 100 votes higher than his democratic rival. in congress, the republican party is edging towards securing the house of representatives. they already hold the senate. mr trump will visit the white house on wednesday, for a meeting with president biden, to discuss the transition of power. he is working on appointing his administration for his second term. he's announced that neither his former secretary of state, mike pompeo, nor the former un ambassador, nikki haley, will be part of the new government. ms haley described mr trump as unhinged when she ran against him in the republican primaries, although she eventually endorsed him. 0ur north america correspondent, peter bowes, sent this report. we have taken back control of the senate.

wow. that's great. within hours of the polls closing early on wednesday morning, donald trump knew that he'd won. but the projected result from arizona, a state that he lost four years ago, completes the election count and gives him a clean sweep of the swing states. a final tally of 312 votes overall in the us electoral college, compared with 226 for vice president kamala harris. a thumping victory. the president elect is spending the weekend here at his home in florida, where he's working on who to appoint to the top jobs in his new administration. late last night, he took to social media to confirm two high—profile figures from his first presidency who won't be coming back. there will be no invitation for the former secretary of state, mike pompeo, orformer un ambassador nikki haley to work for donald trump again. in washington on saturday, some people staged protests expressing concern

about the impact of the new regime. i think it puts me in a position where i feel like i'm not being accurately represented. it's frustrating. i feel a little powerless. i think that society was moving towards a direction that was much more open and progressive and inclusive of people like us, and it's scary to think that we might be going back in the next couple of years. joe biden has invited the president elect to meet him in the oval office at the white house on wednesday. he's promised full cooperation from his administration during the transition of power over the coming weeks. peter bowes, bbc news. there are reports that dozens of palestinians were killed overnight by two israeli airstrikes in northern gaza. according to the hamas—run civil defence agency, an attack on a house injabalia left at least 25 people dead — including 13 children. and in a separate attack, five people were killed in a strike on gaza city, with several more still missing.

in response, the israeli army, which has been operating in northern gaza for several weeks, said, that it had eliminated dozens of terrorists' in jabalia, as well as a weapons store. 0ur correspondentjon donnison is injerusalem — and told us what more is known about the attack. well, look, it's difficult to verify those numbers because israel does not allow foreign journalists uncontrolled access to gaza. but as you say, this does seem like a significant strike. a house targeted injabalia. 13 children among 25 people killed. there are apparently still people trapped. trapped under the rubble. i've just looked at some footage reportedly from the scene, and it's one of considerable devastation and confusion, chaos in that area injabalia. and i think it's important to remember that this comes just two days before a us set deadline for israel to significantly

improve humanitarian access to gaza, and also to take measures to reduce the number of civilian casualties. the united nations put out some figures last week, saying 70% of people killed in gaza in a six—month period have been women and children. we were hearing yesterday about the demand for hamas to no longer have a base for talks in qatar. how, how confident can we be that that is the case because there were denials by hamas yesterday. yeah, they've been denied by hamas and denied by qatar as well. but look, you have to see this as pressure being put on by the americans. the source of this story came from american state department officials, and they clearly want to send a signal that hamas is being isolated.

so while it seems that hamas are not actually being kicked out of qatar, certainly they've been much more low profile there in recent weeks. and if qatar is going to stop being the key mediator between hamas and american officials to try and secure a ceasefire deal, then that does leave hamas more isolated. and it begs the question, you know, where will they go if they can't be based in qatar because it's been shown they're not safe in iran. we had ismail haniyeh assassinated by israel there, the hamas political leader. they're not safe in lebanon. they've been targeted there, too. and the only other place really could possibly be turkey, which of course is a nato ally. but would turkey want them based in istanbul? we have no indication that they would. us defence officials say american warplanes have carried out strikes on houthi targets in yemen. they said the attacks were aimed at houthi weapons stores.

the houthi movement claimed the us had launched at least nine air raids on the capital sanaa and amran. on friday, houthis released footage claiming to show a downed us spy drone in yemen. the united states and britain have struck houthi targets several times since january in response to attacks by the movement on ships in the red sea, which the rebels say is in solidarity with palestinians in gaza. tens of thousands of people have protested in valencia against the authorities' handling of last month's floods, which left more than 200 dead. some of the protestors smeared buildings with mud and there were clashes with riot police. valencia's regional governor, carlos mazon, is facing mounting pressure to resign for taking too long to respond to a weather warning. more than a hundred world leaders are gathering in azerbaijan for the cop 29 summit, which begins tomorrow and aims to help countries transition away from using fossilfuels. sir keir starmer will be there but many other

major leaders won't — including the heads of france, germany, china and the united states. i asked eliot whittington, at the university of cambridge�*s institute for sustainability leadership, whether it was a problem that azerbaijan — a fossil fuel exporter — is hosting the meeting.( the presidency as the key concessions but there are 190 other countries involved in the conversation so we shouldn't overstate the role of the presidency. as well as noting that in previous years, last year we had a another oil state in the presidency and that was the first time that fossil fuels were called out. there is a negotiation happening and we will see with the negotiation takes us. we only have to bring everybody with us to that

conversation. to everybody with us to that conversation.— everybody with us to that conversation. to what extent will finance _ conversation. to what extent will finance and _ conversation. to what extent will finance and supporting . will finance and supporting poorer countries which often have not contributed to climate change very much at all, be a mainstay of this conference? people have called this cop the finance cop, we need to make sure that we are mobilising money to help developing countries cut carbon emissions and help them cope with the impacts. that is really important. this time partly because we have set up to things, a need for conversation around what a new collective agreed global goal in finance looks like and secondly, a stronger focus on helping countries impacted by climate change and there is a need for substantive things to help them with that. one of the key areas

is the kind of money needed, it can't be a case of a transfer from government to government, that will have a key role to play but what we need to see is means of tapping into the private sector and mobilising private sector and mobilising private spending on some of these measures because that is how we will get the scale needed. how we will get the scale needed-— how we will get the scale needed. ., . _, . ., _, needed. how much concern do you think ou needed. how much concern do you think you will _ needed. how much concern do you think you will hear _ needed. how much concern do you think you will hear expressed - think you will hear expressed about what a trump administration might do with regards to commitments to tackle climate change? clearly that will be — tackle climate change? clearly that will be a _ tackle climate change? clearly that will be a major _ tackle climate change? clearly that will be a major part - tackle climate change? clearly that will be a major part of - that will be a major part of the conversation. we have been here before, we had a trump presidency before, he pulled out of the paris agreement in the past and the us rejoined. they are one country and there are 195 other countries so we can't make them the be all and end all. i think the thing to say here is that since trump was last in the white house the energy demand has gone up, we

are seeing huge cost reductions on solar and wind and other forms of renewable. the energy transition is proceeding apace, china in particular has accelerated and other parts of the world including europe really ramp up the pace of change. there are new industries and economies taking off and if we hear a lot about trump being master of the art of the deal, you can't have a deal if you are not at the table so there is a huge opportunity for the us to stay part of the conversation, continue to shape the conversation in the future. if they pull out we will have to work out how to proceed, but it is not necessarily how this multilateral process. around 420 children in the uk are diagnosed with brain cancer every year. treating the disease with radio and chemotherapy is often a long and gruelling process.

but scientists in cambridge believe artificial intelligence could help them to develop new treatments, and detect brain tumours much earlier. they've been given a multi—million pound grant to find out more, as mousumi bakshi reports. this is esme, an ordinary little girl with not a care in the world. that's what it looks like. but in her short life, esme has had cancer — a brain tumour and 18 months of chemotherapy. well done. i remember when i lost some of my friends and for my mum and dad, they were crying. because you hear the c word. you think, "0k, well, does that mean we're going to lose her then?" and we were in hospital pretty much the entire time, - and she had a hickman line in, and that was in for a further. six months as well.

so for two years, blood - transfusions, chemo injections, spikes of temperature, i she had to be in hospital within an hour every time i she spiked a temperature. sometimes we'd be in hospital for ten days, | get home and think, "yes, brilliant." - sit down, do a temperature. spike in temperature, - back in hospital, and you'd be there again for a week. thankfully, esme was given the all clear four and a half years ago, but the chemotherapy was hard to take, which is why researchers in cambridge are trying to find another way to treat children's brain tumours — using the body's a own immune system to kill them. what we've discovered, and other groups in the world have discovered, is that the brain almost has its own immune system. essentially, my research is focussed on the idea that if you've got a tumour within the brain, in really close proximity to its own local supply of immune cells, that the tumour might be teaching the immune cells that they the tumour is normal. and that is the biggest issue, really, that we have in children's brain tumours,

because, yeah, they're tricking them into thinking that they're completely normal and that the tumour is supposed to be there. and actually tumours are full of different kinds of cells at the moment. tumours are treated with surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. they can be effective, but they can also damage a young brain, which is where artificial intelligence comes in, processing and analysing huge amounts of data like never before. these approaches have capacity to understand and identify relationships in data that we've never been able to see. we're now getting to a point which i never thought we'd be at, where we might be able to think about detecting those diseases before the child or the parent even knows they exist. and that's something that could have global implications for how brain tumours are treated, allowing little girls like esme to enjoy their childhoods free from worry. a group of people who all have facial differences

as a result of cancer treatment are seeing their portraits go on public display. "i'm still me" is a series of paintings created to highlight the psychological impact of having parts of the face removed. the organisers say they hope it will be thought—provoking and encourage debate. nicola rees reports. that one is fabulous because it is showing that i still have a smile. i couldn't get a smile before because i had nothing to smile about. it before because i had nothing to smile about.— smile about. it is the first time that _ smile about. it is the first time that robin _ smile about. it is the first time that robin has - smile about. it is the first time that robin has seen | smile about. it is the first i time that robin has seen his portraits on display at st james hospital, he is meeting up james hospital, he is meeting up with the artist.— up with the artist. could have taken a few — up with the artist. could have taken a few more _ up with the artist. could have taken a few more wrinkles i up with the artist. could have | taken a few more wrinkles out but absolutely stunning. llntiil but absolutely stunning. until recentl , but absolutely stunning. until recently, robin _ but absolutely stunning. until recently, robin struggled to look at his reflection after a skin cancer diagnosis, he lost his nose, eye and upper teeth.

each year in the united kingdom. the king laid the first wreath on behalf of the nation dressed in the uniform of the admiral of the fleet. he saluted after stepping back. let's listen into the military music playing as these veterans marched through whitehall. military band plays hello there. well, we'll start to see a few changes weather wise as we head through today. and at last we're going to lose the low cloud and the gloom

into the start of next week with a lot more sunshine around. but today is the transition day. there will be a lot of dry weather. a few showers towards the north, still plenty of low cloud, but also some sunshine emerging behind this cold front that's going to bring about the big changes as we head through this afternoon. but still plenty of cloud around. a few outbreaks of patchy light rain across eastern scotland, perhaps down into northern england and north wales as we head through the end of the day. the clouds thickening on the front, a few spells of brightness ahead of the front, towards the south and the east. but the best of the sunshine again scotland and northern ireland as we head through this afternoon. temperatures generally 10 to 15 degrees, butjust look at the skies clear as we head through this evening and overnight. still a legacy of cloud. a few spots of drizzle still across the far south of england, and here it's milder into tomorrow morning, but where we've got the clear skies, of course it's going to be a chilly start, bit a ground frost potentially across parts of scotland and a different feel to things into monday because we've got a clearer, drier air mass. the air will contain a lot less moisture,

meaning there'll be more in the way of sunshine and a lot less cloud than we've been seeing of late. watch out for one or two showers that may run run down through these north sea facing coasts, but in general it's dry and there'll be plenty of sunshine to enjoy. temperatures 10 to 15 celsius. it's been some time since we've seen the sunshine across much of england and wales, of course. and it will stay dry into the start of next week with high pressure re—establishing itself. it's another dry day on tuesday, and the small chance of one or two showers just blowing in from the north sea, where they'll tend to be a bit more cloud across the far southeast of england, perhaps, but the best of the sunshine further north and west. temperatures more or less at the seasonal average. as we head through the rest of the week, well, high pressure will tend to drift its way further westwards, just allowing for a few weather fronts to give us, again, some showers, possibly some longer spells of rain at times as we head through wednesday and thursday. but lots of dry weather around as well, so generally dry. more in the way of sunshine.

and then it all turns a lot colder, potentially, with a northerly wind into next weekend. bye for now.

live from london. this is bbc news. drone attacks between russia and ukraine escalate into the biggest exchange since the start of the war. donald trump is projected to have won arizona — taking all seven swing states

in the us presidential election. the government says it won't reconsider its decision to raise employers' national insurance — despite businesses warning that the tax increase will cause closures and job losses. meanwhile, mr trump has announced that there'll be no place for his former secretary of state, mike pompeo — nor former un ambassador, nikki haley, in his new administration. king charles and other senior royals lead events to mark remembrance sunday. hello. i'm martine croxall. ukraine and russia have launched their biggest drone attacks against each other since the start of the war. according to the ukrainian military, russia launched 145 drones overnight targeting various parts of the country. ukraine 5 air defence says they were able to down 62 drones. meanwhile, russian officials stated that they had

destroyed 70 ukrainian drones across six regions.
