election. honoring the fallen — king charles joins other senior royals for events to mark remembrance sunday. and reaching the finish line. sir mark cavendish — the greatest sprint—cyclist in history — wins his final professional race. hello. 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. 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 5

international airports. our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse has the latest from kyiv. ever since russia started targeting ukrainian cities in this way with these unmanned drones in 2022, we are seeing an unprecedented number of strikes. last night we are told 145 russian drones were intercepted, or to an extent, mostly cheap iranian—made drones with distinctive wing spans and pretty nasty warheads packed with explosives, and they hit regions right across ukraine, kyiv, kharkiv, it really was a sizeable attack and they are designed to terrorise populations. they are not typically used to hit military sites.

you can hear the motors. sirens go off most evenings. at night, sleep is disturbed by the boom of air defences, people's phones have been flooded by notifications. last month, 2000 drones were reported to have launched at ukraine. clearly russia can't sustain these types of attack because they are fairly cheap. clearly russia can sustain these types of attack because they are fairly cheap. the mayor of moscow said more than 30 were intercepted on the way to the capital, two international airports had to be closed, and officials in western russia said more than 30 were intercepted as well. the military here say they successfully targeted an ammunition depot. clearly ukraine tries to hit back where it can, but this is russia trying to suppress the ukrainian population and it is always in tandem with the brutal fighting on the front—line,

where russia is continuing to advance in several areas. the latest russian and ukrainian drone strikes come as the head of the uk armed forces said russia had 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 a0 percent 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's defeated kamala harris, in all seven of the key swing states, with arizona the last to be called. it brings mr trump's final tally of electoral college votes to 312 — far outstripping kamala harris on 226. let's speak to helena humphrey.

it was thought to be close, all those swing states going into the election, but it wasn't. now, absolutely not. it ended up now, absolutely not. it ended up being as we are now getting confirmation a clean sweep of the battleground states with confirmation that arizona is projected for donald trump. if you took look at the key issues in the campaign trail, it was immigration, complaining very hard on that. arizona sharing a border with mexico. six legal port of entry. trying to link those record high numbers we saw at some point during the biden administration directly to that vice president kamala harris, despite the fact it wasn't her official role but nevertheless that appearing to play out. if you look at the context, arizona narrowly went to joe biden context, arizona narrowly went tojoe biden in 2020. certainly donald trump making up ground

there and he had successfully diversified his base, particularly when it comes to young latino voters who make around 33% of the population in arizona so what he has managed to achieve, notjust the clean sweep of the swing states but also prevailing in the popular vote. in terms of some of those issues that are so key, immigration for arizona and in an exclusive interview donald trump confirming that he does intend to carry out that mass deportation of undocumented migrants. he says he has no choice and also says he wouldn't put a price tag on it. there are questions as to how this will be carried out but he says he's not putting a number on it financially in terms of carrying it out. other point, congress and control of congress and control of congress and control of congress and the republicans edging ahead, poised potentially to take the house of representatives which will put donald trump in a strong

nikki haley, she went toe to toe with him in the republican primaries, calling him unhinged on the debate stage. she also spoke endorsing him. there were questions whether she would appear in that final date of the campaign and that didn't happen and we know both of those people who served in his administration will not be in the second term of the white house for donald trump. thanks for that. thanks for that. 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 seperate 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 in jerusalem. it is 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 the 25 people killed. there are apparently still people trapped under the rubble. i've just looked at some footage reportedly from the scene and it is one of considerable devastation and confusion, chaos in that area injabalia. and i think it is important to remember that this comes just two days before a us deadline for israel to significantly improve humanitarian access to gaza and also to take measures to reduce the number of civilian casualties.

un figures last week say 70% of people killed in gaza in a six month period have been women and children. lebanon's health ministry says at least 20 people, including three children, have been killed in israeli strikes near the port city of byblos. there has also been a series of air strikes by israel's military — on targets in the bekaa valley — including this one, in the village of sareen. israel says it is targeting hezbollah militia operating in lebanon. over 100,000 people took to the streets of valencia on saturday, in protest over the authorities�* emergency response to devastating flash floods in october, which killed at least 217 people. the protesters, who include members of various civil groups and unions, are demanding accountability, with chants of �*murderer�*. here in the uk, king charles has led the nation in two minutes of silence at the national service of remembrance ceremony at the cenotaph in central london. he was joined by the prince and princess of wales along with political leaders. around the country, tens of thousands of veterans and civilians also paid

their respects to those who lost their lives in the two world wars and other conflicts. 0ur senior royal correspondent daniela relph reports. they arrived early, securing the best position on whitehall, many with their own personal connection to events today. my brother served in the army, my grandad did, so it isjust showing my respect really because, without them, we wouldn�*t be here. my dad is actually walking the parade, so it is really nice to watch him and it's a big occasion for him today, so it's a big family day out to watch my dad. the king, head of the armed forces, led the reflection and remembrance, as big ben signalled the start of the two minutes�* silence. big ben strikes the hour.

music: last post. the king laid the first wreath in a year that marked the 80th anniversary of the d—day landings. at the cenotaph for the first time as prime minister and party leader, sir keir starmer and kemi badenoch. watching from the balcony of the foreign office, the princess of wales, as she continues her return to public duty. absent was the queen, recovering from a chest infection. around the uk, the country paused to remember. at the heart of remembrance sunday are those that have served. 10,000 took part in the march past in any way they could.

just being present here matters to so many on the day when they are being honoured. 0ver100,000 people took to the streets of valencia on saturday, in protest over the authorities�* emergency response to devastating flash floods in october, which killed at least 217 people. the protesters, who include members of various civil groups and unions, are demanding accountability, with chants of �*murderer�*. amongst their demands, is the resignation of the president of the valencia region — carlos mazon — who they hold responsible for the perceived mishandling of the disaster. riot police sealed off the entrance to the city hall, where there were clashes with protesters. let�*s speak now to someone who

went to the protest last night and is helping herfamily with the recovery. i know you have been helping and do what you can. can you talk me through the situation for people? the situation here _ the situation for people? the situation here is _ the situation for people? tue: situation here is still the situation for people? tte: situation here is still really bad. 12 days after the floods, we are still removing mode from all over and it is a really devastating to see the cleaning close to process is slow, we need so many people helping. the protests saw so many people in valencia showing their anger at the authorities. can you explain why so many people are so angry? t explain why so many people are so an: ? , ., ., so angry? i believe that no matter the _ so angry? i believe that no matter the ideology - so angry? i believe that no matter the ideology of - so angry? i believe that no matter the ideology of the | matter the ideology of the person right now, we all agree on the fact that the regional

authority to deal with the situation was so negligent and we feel many people who have —— would have saved their lives and the damage would have been less. , ., ., less. does that mean there weren't enough _ less. does that mean there weren't enough warnings i less. does that mean there - weren't enough warnings before weren�*t enough warnings before the floods? is that right? there wasn�*t enough time for people to prepare and they should be more warning? absolutely. there should have been more warning. earlier warnings, they should have given us information about how thought, ok, i�*m going to take the c�* us information about how to react because for example given us information about how to react because for example many people die because they many people die because they went to get their cars outside went to get their cars outside the buildings and then they got the buildings and then they got trapped and they couldn�*t trapped and they couldn�*t escape. there could have been escape. there could have been information that could have information that could have saved lives but people didn�*t saved lives but people didn�*t know in the moment they saw know in the moment they saw that there was water, they that there was water, they

thought, 0k, thought, 0k, that there was water, they thought, ok, i�*m going to take that there was water, they thought, ok, i�*m going to take the car the car outside in case there is a flood, so we won�*t get affected. the response before the flood was really bad but after the plot as well people felt so abundant. for the first days and week it was just the volunteers of the neighbours who

than anyone else in history. drew savage reports. time for cycling�*s most successful sprinter to finally say goodbye. the peloton paid their respects to one of the all—time great, roller—coaster career that began in the isle of man and would conclude on the streets of singapore. it was an exhibition race, part of cycling�*s drive to engage with a global audience, and the sport is going to miss some of its most enduring superstars. most of those racing today were still at school when mark cavendish won his first tour de france stage in 2008. so perhaps a certain amount of respect as he launched himself towards the finishing line, one final effort to feel that winning feeling one last time. i am quite emotional, actually. i realised in the last few laps

it was the last 15 kilometres of my career, but i�*m so proud to win my final professional race. after so many comebacks, this is mark cavendish�*s last podium appearance as a rider tomorrow, though he will stay in the sport he loves, so maybe it is not quite goodbye, but it has certainly been emotional. four matches in the english premier league on sunday. three of them are into the second half with ruud van nistelrooy taking charge of manchester united for a final time before new head coach ruben amroim takes over on monday. and things are going well for united. 2-0. 2—0. nottingham forestaiming to continue their outstanding starter, with a win they would remain third in the table. newcastle have equalised so it makes it 1—1. the result of the

day, ipswich trying to get their first day, ipswich trying to get theirfirst premier day, ipswich trying to get their first premier league win, and daily two — zero. later chelsea face arsenal. both teams now ten points behind the premier league leaders liverpool, with arsenal boss mikel arteta hoping to put recent defeats behind them. when you don�*t win, it affects, it affects the mood, it affects the energy. the positive thing that there is nobody, impossible, in this room or outside that wants to win more than i do. it was impossible so i had a meeting with them about it and i can sense it straightaway. what i sense as well is that we are as a team. ,next to a shock exit for lionel messi and inter miami in the first round of the mls cup playoffs. with his team gunning for the biggest football prize in the united states, messi scored against atlanta united to make it 2—2, with goalkeeper brad guzan having some trouble with the net. but atlanta won the game —

and the best of three series — 3—2 thanks to this header. last month miami, who are co—owned by david beckham, were named as one of the 32 sides in next year�*s expanded fifa club world cup. the first of rugby union�*s autumn internationals is underway, wales seeking first win in nine tests against all opposition. but fiji are turning this one around. with over 17 minutes played, fiji lead 21 points to 19. first meeting between sides since world cup pool game in bordeaux in september 2023, which wales won. later, scotland welcome world champions south africa to murrayfield. it�*ll be a huge challenge for gregor townsend�*s side who haven�*t beaten the springboks since 2010 and also lost to them in the group stage of the world cup last year. to be able to go to a game

where you�*re take on the world champions, it�*s going to be a sell out, you know that you�*re going to have to play your best rugby, um, to have to be in the, in the game. so, yeah, it�*s got everybody�*s minds focussed and the players are really relishing this opportunity. i will bring you their premier league results later on. and that�*s all the sport for now. the british celebrity chef, jamie oliver, has pulled his first children�*s book from sale worldwide after a backlash from indigenous communities in australia for stereotyping. 0ur resident australian reporter bianca balzer. the book is called billy and the epic escape and it is essential —— fantasy novel jamie oliver has published the sequel to a bookie published last year. it is about a group of friends who go on an adventure, think exploring with magical creatures and fighting evil villains. magical creatures and fighting evilvillains. 0ne magical creatures and fighting evil villains. one of the subplot is set in australia. jamie oliver had a huge following in australia so it makes commercial sense to incorporate some of the culture

but it has backfired. the way he has done it is really offended first nations communities which i will say up front, they were not consulted at any part of this process which is especially problematic since it heavily features the culture and experiences. this part of the story involves a first nations girl and she is kidnapped by a wicked woman. already this is very insensitive because it is a reference to the stolen generations of australia and there are many victims of that really painful chapter of australian history, that understandably have been upset by this. authors do sometimes tap into difficult topics but the wayjamie 0liver tap into difficult topics but the way jamie oliver has tap into difficult topics but the wayjamie 0liver has done it is really trivialising it and he has also done it in a way that hasn�*t consulted with

the community. way that hasn't consulted with the community.— way that hasn't consulted with the community. how has jamie oliver responded? _ the community. how has jamie oliver responded? he - the community. how has jamie oliver responded? he has - oliver responded? he has decided to _ oliver responded? he has decided to pull— oliver responded? he has decided to pull the - oliver responded? he has decided to pull the book | oliver responded? he has - decided to pull the book from the shelves and publishers penguin random house uk have decided to do that after a backlash. in a statement he says he is devastated to have caused offence and apologised. penguin random house said it is clear that their publishing standards have fallen short on this occasion and they are going to learn and take action after this. if you�*re planning a bit of gardening today — this is extreme lumberjacking — or timbersports to use the official name. the world championship took place in toulouse, france, to a sell—out crowd.

with a weather front bringing a change, there is some rain and that will continue to push southwards, light and patchy mostly, and then high pressure. we have seen the weather front giving significant outbreaks of rain, more so than recently across the eastern side of scotland, the north west of england and north wales. behind it, the odd shower and plenty of sunshine, even sunshine ahead of it and slightly less cold than it has been recently because we have seen breaks in the cloud and a change in wind direction. spots of drizzle as it moves southwards through the night and behind it it will turn chillier. temperatures low enough in rural areas to give frost and the odd bit of fog on monday morning but otherwise a much drier and brighter day, plenty more sunshine compared with recent days although this north breeze could give showers but for most lots of sunshine,

temperatures not too dissimilar to those of today and feeling quite pleasant. through the night skies will clear under the high pressure and temperatures will tumble away. tuesday, watch for a bit showery rain in the south and east and weak weather fronts coming into the north. a chilly start on tuesday, mist and fog, more breeze into the east, more showers and a bit more cloud so that will temper the feel of things and temperatures will be down a little, a chillier start. still plenty of sunshine for most. tuesday into wednesday continues cloud, the breeze from the southern north sea which could bring showers, a weak weather front into the north of scotland so populating the skies with a bit more cloud around but still good spells of sunshine in between and he will feel quite

pleasant in the sunshine. as we head towards next weekend the chances are it will get colder and more unsettled sp perhaps a touch of wintry weather on the way, colder as we approach the latter part of the weekend. as ever, more on the website.
