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'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. 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 their motors. sirens go off most evenings.

at night, sleep is disturbed by the boom of air defences, people's phones are flooded by notifications. last month, 2000 drones were reported to have launched at ukraine. clearly russia can sustain these types of attack because they are fairly cheap. but it is a night where ukraine mounted its own drone attacks on russia. 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 chief of the defence staff said an average of 1500 soldiers were killed or wounded every day in october. he had they lost more than 7000 troops in the war —— mark 700,000 troops. 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. 0ur correspondent helena humphrey has the latest. 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 take a look at the key issues on the campaign trail, it was immigration, trump campaigning very hard on that. arizona shares a border with mexico. there are six legal port of entry. ports of entry. trying to link those record high numbers we saw at some point during the biden/harris administration directly to 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 tojoe biden in 2020. certainly donald trump making up significant 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 this 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, 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 he 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. another point — 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 position in terms of his first agenda. what is the latest we are hearing about who is going to be making up donald trump's top team? here in mar—a—largo, all eyes are poised on who is coming to donald trump's resort, who is leaving. donald trump announcing on truth social two people who will not be in his administration.

i'm sure you will remember during his first term he often used social media to fire people, and this time saying nikki haley, his former un abassador to the united states, and mike pompeo, who served as his us secretary of state, will not be receiving job offers. donald trump is known to court loyalists when it comes to his hires. mike pompeo was loyal during that first time but i think he distanced himself following the 2020 defeat, and only endorsed donald trump once it was confirmed he was the republican candidate. as for nikki haley, she went toe to toe with him in the republican primaries, calling him unhinged on the debate stage. she also spoke at the republican convention endorsing him. there were some questions whether she would appear in the final days 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. 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 and told us what more is known about the attack. 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 said 70% of people killed in gaza in a six month period have been women and children. 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�*. 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. guy hedgecoe has more. an estimated 130,000 people turned out for this protest and the mood among protesters was one of anger. they were furious at their local authorities because of the way they responded to the tragedy of october 29, responded to the tragedy of 0ctober29, in responded to the tragedy of october 29, in particular this protest people work directing their rage at the reasonable —— regional government of valencia and the regional president carlos mazon. protesters believed that the regional

authorities were too slow to respond on the day that the tragedy struck itself, and they point to the fact that carlos mazon appeared to go missing on that day because he was at a three hour lunch with a female journalist, during which time he missed a crisis meeting and when he emerged from that, the floodwaters were already writing and causing tremendous damage. so people at this protest were calling him a murderer, demanding his resignation. it seems as if he has no intention of resigning at the moment. carlos mazon does seem to have the support of his conservative people's party, but the pressure on him is mounting. party, but the pressure on him is mounting-— is mounting. earlier i spoke to 5 [via is mounting. earlier i spoke to sylvia martinez. _ is mounting. earlier i spoke to sylvia martinez. she _ is mounting. earlier i spoke to sylvia martinez. she went to l sylvia martinez. she went to the protest last night and it's been helping a family who live in valencia.— been helping a family who live in valencia. the situation here is still really _ in valencia. the situation here is still really bad. _

the first days, for the first week it was just volunteers, neighbours who could get to clean their houses and roads because there were no soldiers, no one. we felt so alone. now it's time for a look at today's sport. hello from the bbc sport centre. we are going to start with ipswich. they have beaten tottenham to get their first victory of the season and it left him out of the relegation zone for now. i day for the manager and his players to remember after being promoted last season. they have had a tricky start, but they have won a game. spurs rallied late on 2-1, the a game. spurs rallied late on 2—1, the final score. april 2002 the last time they won a game in the premier league but this a day that players won't

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. the british celebrity chef, jamie oliver, has pulled his latest 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 a fantasy novel jamie oliver has published, the sequel to a book he published last year. it is about a group of friends who go on an adventure — think exploring with magical creatures and fighting evil villains. one of the subplots is set in australia. jamie oliver has 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 has 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 their 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 generation 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 way jamie oliver has done it is really trivialising it and he has also done it in a way that hasn't consulted with the community. how has jamie 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 — here's some inspiration for you. this is extreme lumberjacking — or timbersports to use the official name. the world championship took place in toulouse, france, to a sell—out crowd of five thousand people. an american took the individual title, a new zealander came second and a canadian took bronze. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. another cloudy afternoon for much of england and wales 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 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 so 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.
