the war. the war. according to the according to the ukrainian military, russia launched 145 drones overnight targeting various parts of the country. ukraine's 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. peter dickinson is the editor of ukrainealert at the atlantic council — an american think tank. i asked him what was his response to russian losses in this war. the russian losses are at a record high. this trend has been ongoing for a number of months now. russia has been making games, not sweeping gains but territorial gains. that is coming with very, very
3:32 pm
high losses. however, i don't think this will be a major factor influencing people ten�*s decision making. he has been at great pains to make sure the losses he is suffering will not have a social impact in russia. they have recruited heavily for the army in the prison population and have recruited suspects not yet convicted of crimes was that

putin's view of the war. he seesit putin's view of the war. he sees it as an historic mission. he is committed to reclaiming control over ukraine and that is his main goal over his entire when, as it were. fin is his main goal over his entire when, as it were. on the latest drone — entire when, as it were. on the latest drone strikes _ entire when, as it were. on the latest drone strikes in - entire when, as it were. on the latest drone strikes in both - latest drone strikes in both directions, what should we read into that? russian drone strikes have been a feature throughout the war. in recent months they have escalated. october was the largest, the heaviest, the most intense month of drone strikes. that is a continuation of that. the fear in ukraine is russia is using its drone capabilities and a stockpiling cruise and ballistic missiles which we have not seen much of an early september in order to launch what many anticipate will be a very major aerial campaign in the coming weeks as the temperatures drop and the
3:34 pm
vulnerabilities of the ukrainian energy system becomes more acute. loss of energy in the winter months will have a severe impact on the civilian populations. it is about showing the russians and the international community ukraine can still strike back, it is using its own trends which are domestically produced. after the real action of donald trump they are sending a message to say we can continue this war and can continue to strike into russia. 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. donald trump campaigned on a sweeping immigration plan, that will begin on the first day of his presidency. kathleen bush—joseph — from migration policy institute — a think tank.
3:35 pm
i think it is important to start out by saying what donald trump is proposing is unprecedented in modern us history. he has talked about wanting to deport ii history. he has talked about wanting to deport 11 million, as many as 20 million migrants from the united states. as a point of reference he deported about 1.5 million migrants. this poses huge legal and logistical challenges, to try to upscale to that number. let's start with logistical challenges. a big difference between the two numbers you mentioned. what other practical obstacles? . ., ., obstacles? one at the ma'or considerations d obstacles? one at the ma'or considerations as i obstacles? one at the ma'or considerations as there h obstacles? one at the major considerations as there are i obstacles? one at the major i considerations as there are not enough resources. they were not enough resources. they were not enough immigrations and customs officers to be arresting these migrants. there are not places to be holding them in the
3:36 pm
interior of the country and not enough planes to try to send them back to their own countries. another question is if home countries will accept people back in the venezuelan is not accepting its nationals, for example. is not accepting its nationals, for example-— is not accepting its nationals, for examle. . , . for example. there are expected to be legal— for example. there are expected to be legal challenges _ for example. there are expected to be legal challenges as - for example. there are expected to be legal challenges as you - to be legal challenges as you mention. on what kind of grounds? many people watching will go if you are in a country legally commercially the country has a right to remove you? country has a right to remove ou? ., country has a right to remove ou? . . . , country has a right to remove ou? . . ., , u, country has a right to remove ou? . . ., , you? legal challenges could be a ranue you? legal challenges could be a range of— you? legal challenges could be a range of different _ you? legal challenges could be a range of different lawsuits. . a range of different lawsuits. one major consideration is due process considerations for migrants who may not be receiving immigration or court proceedings as they normally would. another consideration as a racial profiling of people. in the past when i have been a large number of deportations can even us citizens have been swept up in raids. the can even us citizens have been swept up in raids.— swept up in raids. the people ofthe swept up in raids. the people of the us _ swept up in raids. the people of the us of— swept up in raids. the people of the us of course _ swept up in raids. the people of the us of course had - swept up in raids. the people of the us of course had voted for donald trump. he has a
3:37 pm
democratic mandate and has made this promise. he will be putting more money and resources into it. did you think there will be significant increases in numbers of people who are removed from the us? i do. the trump administration officials have talked about using the national guard, meaning the military, to go into communities and assist with these nasty deportations. we are talking about work site enforcement raids. one major factor will be instilling fear into communities. it will change whether or not people feel comfortable leaving their homes in the first place. pub and restaurant bosses in the uk have warned the chancellor rachel reeves that her tax rises in last month's budget will "unquestionably" cause closures and job losses. labour says it will generate £25bn, urgently needed for public services, including the nhs. speaking on sunday with laura kuenssberg, the chief secretary
3:38 pm
to the treasury, darrenjones, defended the government's policies. i think the public would recognise that bigger businesses are more able to burden some of the contributions that we need to make to the state. and actually getting the nhs back on its feet so workers who are off sick can get back to work is probably something that we take as a benefit from, as well as all the other measures that we have put forward in the budget. —— that retailers will benefit from. these things have to be paid for and we've designed the system that protects working people and tries to protect smaller businesses. so, the big business — tough, suck it up? well, there are more measures broadly in the budget that we think that are good for business, good for growth, good for the economy but on the tax contributions, yes, it's been designed in that way. also speaking to laura kuenssberg was the shadow foreign secretary, pritti patel, who said that the government could have adopted a different approach. it is all about political choices, clearly. we need a strong economy, firstly, to invest in our defences, so that we can have a good economic growth forecast. i know we're not here to talk
3:39 pm
about the economy, but i think some of the measures that have been put in place in this budget are not going to achieve the long—term economic growth that we need. you have asked what we could do. there are things that can be done. obviously laid out a programme previously around looking at changes around literally performance of the civil service, where we could bring inefficiencies, all sorts of changes there. these are serious choices that governments should be looking at. remembrance services have been taking place across the uk to mark the sacrifice made by military personnel and civilians in the two world wars and later conflicts. king charles led a two—minute silence at the cenotaph in london. our correspondent sarah campbell was at the cenotaph in central london and spoke to squadron leader lukejules. my grandfather was a royal marine in a sherman tank on gold beach on on d—day. when i was a child, he used to tell me about d—day for school projects and so on.
3:40 pm
where he landed and the dates involved and whatnot. but it wasn't until after i'd been to afghanistan myself and wanted to come back to the uk and found it very difficult to talk to, even like close friends and family, about exactly what you might see on operations. and then my granddad started to open up about far more of his experiences on, on d—day and in the second world war. and we started to see all the parallels between then and now. i mean, it was such a pivotal moment in the second world war. d—day. and what did he tell you about his experiences and being part of that? they were all very personal, not large scale. so he would tell me after that event that, for example, his tank was the only one that got off the beach out of his platoon and and how much that's affected him and how extraordinary he found it to have managed to survive the first day, and that him and his crew came across the body of a german soldier in during the first week, who he said was the spitting
3:41 pm
image of his uncle sid, who died in the royal navy a couple of months before. so they stopped for a couple of hours in the afternoon and took —— dug the soldier a grave and made a made a headstone of wood for him. he found the entire experience a very personal one. and that after coming back and demobbing at the end of the war, um, how him and all of his friends and colleagues just went back to their ordinary lives because it was just the duty that was ahead of them at the time. and it's really interesting, isn't it, that he didn't really talk about his experiences, but you having your very difficult experiences in afghanistan? um, i guess it was kind of mutually helpful, maybe for him to talk about what he went through, and it allowed you to talk about what you've gone through because most of us, thankfully, will never experience it. yeah, i expect so. and my experiences in afghanistan were far more benign than most. um, but you see the veil lifted on this conflict once you get a bit
3:42 pm
closer to it. and, um, as i was involved in military transport, so we would move casualties around theatre, move troops around theatre a lot, and, um, my granddad was able to talk to me about that, and a way that nobody else back in the uk was able to. —— in a way. and i found since then, from talking to him and how much he was then able to open up about his experiences in the second world war in a far more dynamic and bloodthirsty conflict than the one i'd found myself in or my direct experiences of. i then realised that there were an awful lot of people out there who are military veterans now, here and abroad, who have all really had a sort of similar shared, —— shared experience. and just briefly, what's it like to be here at the cenotaph on remembrance sunday? this is absolutely extraordinary. um, it's very important to me personally because when i...
3:43 pm
the two—minute silence occurred, then because i think of my grandfather and the people that i've worked with over the last 20 years and the sacrifices that people have made, both the ultimate sacrifice and then just the amount of time that people have had to spend away and the things that they've done and done in service, and all the people that we've worked with from different countries as well. um, and this is an amazing place to be. and it's a really great atmosphere to see all these people here. each year, around 420 children in the uk are diagnosed with brain cancer. treating the disease with radio and chemotherapy is often a long and gruelling process. but scientists in cambridge believe artificial intelligence could help them develop new treatments, and detect brain tumours much earlier. and they've been given a multi—million pound grant to find out more, as moose—me back—she reports. —— grant to find out more. 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
3:44 pm
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, "ok, 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, she had to be in hospital within an hour every time she spiked a temperature. sometimes we'd be in hospitalfor 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
3:45 pm
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
3:46 pm
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. moushmi bakshi, bbc news. a group of people who 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.

feet _ 15 patients have been involved in this project. they all wear facial prosthesis after treatments for head and neck cancer. what a celebration! i know! and a team of artists have painted their portraits to highlight the psychological impact of living with a facial difference. it's really been life changing, the whole experience. he's an incredible man. he's an incredible person to paint. when he first walked in, he was all wrapped up and virtually disguised really — glasses, hat, mask. and he actually asked, is it ok if i take these off? ijust thought, wow, you know, that's when it hit me what his reality was. the exhibition's linked to a research project at the university of leeds, which is looking at using 3d scans and artificial intelligence to improve facial prosthetics. oh, it's absolutely phenomenal seeing this project come together and see it launch here in leeds today. it's been a big collaborative project that we've worked together with artists, researchers, patients and public engagement practitioners

to really tell the lived experiences of people who wear facial prostheses and share some of our science with the wider community. it does make me feel like i've got my face back when i look in the mirror, but i know underneath that isn't really me anymore. trying to promote this to other people. you know, it's a good thing because we want to work towards acceptance and, you know, in the real world we're not quite there yet. although it's not perfect. this is my face. and i will embrace what i have. and it's now up to others to embrace people like myself with prosthetics. the exhibition's called i'm still me and it's a reminder that cancer has many faces. you can see it at the bexley wing until the end ofjanuary. a new mural celebrating the natural beauty of sheffield's waterways has been getting attention. the canal works artwork was inspired by a poem — which was a collaboration by local writers about the rich
3:50 pm
industrial heritage of the city and the people who live in the area, as cathy minton has been finding out. the autumn sun, making the sheffield tinsley canal sparkle. and sparkling too is this new artwork on its bank. the work is inspired by a poem written about the waterway. this canal is upside down sky. two boys on rusted bikes, heckling barge dwellers with pens for oars. on her towpath, grey haired lovers walk off sunday roast. the poem was crowdsourced, meaning lots of people, including teenagers, were asked to contribute ideas and words. it was then put together by the
3:51 pm
sheffield poet warda yassin. it's really inspiring for young people to help them get involved in projects like this, and to just write and have a great time doing it, and to not be afraid of doing it because you get to be a part of things like this. turning words into pictures was the job of local artist grace visions. it's such a lovely feeling to know that you've put something out there and people are going to see it for years and years and have their own opinion on it, and hopefully inspire other people to create and just keep the canal a beautiful place, as it is and it should be. the project was commissioned by the canal and rivers trust. for them, it's about highlighting the beauty of the waterway but also taking on graffiti vandals at their own game. our charity has invested into various street art projects because we found that we work with local communities, local artists, that local involvement, that having those pieces of work sort of enhances and kind of improves that area.
3:52 pm
and actually in those areas, we tend to spend less money on having to remove those really unsightly or offensive tagging or language in those places. walking along the canal, you can be inspired by sheffield's rich industrial heritage and of course, artworks, old and new and glimpses of nature all around you as well. it's no surprise that it inspires poetry. a private farm in south africa is going to extraordinary lengths to protect the rhinoceros from extinction. at the start of the last century, half a million rhinos roamed africa and asia. but now that number has been reduced tojust 27,000 in the wild — due to the poaching and habitat loss. the farm has been breeding around 2,000 animals — that's nearly 10% of of all wild rhinos — and gradually releasing them into wildlife reserves. here's reeta chakrabarti.

3:57 pm
but it is brightening up now for the north across scotland and northern ireland. with a weather front bringing a change, there is some rain and that will continue to push southwards, albeit 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
3:58 pm
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
