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, i'm lewis vaughanjones. russia and ukraine have carried out their biggest drone attacks against each other since the start of the war. ukraine says it shot down or disabled most of the 145 launched by russia against various parts of the country. russia says it destroyed 3a ukrainian drones as they approached moscow. they forced flights to be diverted from three airports. the massive exchange of drones comes at a time of uncertainty over donald trump's policy on ukraine and nato. underjoe biden's administration, the us has

provided tens of billions of dollars in military aid to ukraine. the administration plans to continue to surge as much support as possible to kyiv before trump takes office. here, the head of the uk's armed forces has said that western countries should continue to support ukraine for as long as it takes. james landale reports. the aftermath of a massive drone strike, but this is not kyiv, this is the outskirts of moscow after up with of largest ukrainian drone attacks on russia since the war began. across the border, this was the scene in western ukraine, after russia's own offensive. almost 150 drones, according to kyiv, thought also to be one of the largest attacks in the war. russia is making tactical gains on the battlefield and putting pressure on ukraine's energy infrastructure, at least according to this man, the head of the uk's armed force.

but he said russia was also suffering huge losses — 1,500 killed or wounded every day. 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. as such, he said britain had to invest more in defence and urged ministers to act in the forthcoming defence review. she sheep minister said the support for a crane was resolute and they would spend more. but in the meantime, will president—elect trump continue to support president zelensky? he says he wants the war to end, but on what terms? the kremlin today said it saw positive signals. the man tipped as a possible ambassador to the united states suggested ukraine

might have to compromise, giving up nato ambitions and even want to cut the fringes of its territory. we've got to act in a way, together with the united states, to secure ukraine's freedom and secure its borders so that russia can't invade again. now, i think both those things are possible. not by ukraine joining nato, but by nato members offering security guarantees. for now, the fighting in the east of ukraine continues, with analyists expecting russia to try to press home its advance during the hiatus as power is exchanged in the united states. let's get more now from anna foster, who's in washington for us. so, plenty of eyes now looking towards donald trump to see how support changes for ukraine. they are. i think it's going to be a key moment when we find out who some of his top team

are, particularly the new secretary of state is, because that will give an idea of what sort of direction he wants to go in on ukraine. we don't know who that is going to be. he said last night on his true social network that nikki haley, mike pompeo, a former saints secretary of state, would not be coming back this time around, they've been rolled out. there are a lot of names are being talked about and that will give us an indication. there a way to could consider going on this. during the election campaign, a total about the economy and when people here in the us talk about the economy this latest being a long way away and expensive because the us is provide a lot of weaponry and defence support. if you want to go down in isolationist roads, he could very well pull some of that support and say that he was reinvesting that money here in the us. but last time he was president, there were some really audacious foreign policy

successes he managed, things like that relationship he forged with north korea, with kimjong—un, something forged with north korea, with kim jong—un, something terrible had been embarrassed before or since. the abraham accords in the middle east, under his presidency, israel, the united arab emirates and bahrain normalised relations. he was close to getting that happening with israel and saudi arabia, didn't get there but it was on the cards. when he achieves things like that, he considers that a feather in his cap so mighty apply that to ukraine and be the man who ends at the war? he has good relationships with russia and vladimir putin, if you can call himself the person that entered the war in ukraine, there might be a legacy for him. when we hear his top picks, they might give us an idea of what direction he's looking in.— us an idea of what direction he's looking in. and in terms of how much _ he's looking in. and in terms of how much power- he's looking in. and in terms of how much power donald l he's looking in. and in terms- of how much power donald trump has in domestic affairs as

well, it will be determined how much corporation can get from the senate, the house of representatives. we heard about his victory in arizona in the presidential race, how is all that looking? it’s presidential race, how is all that looking?— that looking? it's all in coming _ that looking? it's all in coming together - that looking? it's all in coming together in - that looking? it's all in coming together in a i that looking? it's all in i coming together in a big that looking? it's all in - coming together in a big white. when you are crunching the numbers last week and looking at these key levers of government, the senate used to belong to the democrats, it is now gone republican. last representatives, there are only a couple of seats left that would take the republicans to a majority there as well. they already have a majority of republican appointees on the supreme court and also the president as well. that is a republican clean sweep. all those different levers which are supposed to provide checks and balances, because normally different parties hold different parties hold different parts and that makes sure no party gets too dominant. but what we're looking at here potentially, were not quite there yet, but were not quite there yet, but we are looking at real

republican dominance which translates into almost ultimate power. what donald trump decides to do will be put through both chambers by his republicans, again the supreme court is well back on to bigger things as well. songs a majority of voters in america are concerned, the fight for him and wanted that compliance of victory, that will please them to cash for democrats and others looking in from the outside, that is a concerning level of power and they worry what is on track might do with it. ., ~ what is on track might do with it. . ~ , ., let's get more now on the drone attacks. dr samuel ramani is an associate fellow at rusi, a defence and security think tank, and author of putin's war on ukraine. he gave me his analysis. i think there are several things involved here. obviously, the ukrainians are trying to bring the war to the russian people, and that was one of the goals of the kursk offensive also. but it didn't seem as if the kursk offensive was able to change russian public perceptions of the war because the general narrative coming from the kremlin was this was a temporary glitch, the russians were going to be able

to overcome it, they should just stay put and be patient. that seemed to work. so now by striking moscow, it does seem as if the ukrainians do want to create some kind of psychological attack inside russia — drone strikes on russian areas and fires that have mysteriously broken out have been things that russians have become used to. the election timing though has been interesting because it does show the ukrainians are willing to try to strike various depots in bryansk and chemicalfacilities and energy facilities may be before there are peaceful negotiations to degrade russia's ability to rebuild in the short term. so that is something to watch for also. i think i would be paying more attention to what is happening in bryansk and tula right now than in moscow when it comes palestinian rescue teams in gaza say dozens of people have been killed and wounded in an israeli strike on a house in the north of the territory. gaza's civil defence agency, which is run by hamas, said at least 30 people had been killed — including 13 children. in a statement, israel's

defense forces said they believed terrorists were operating at the house injabalia. jon donnison reports from jerusalem and contains details you may find distressing. injabalia, destruction and death are the reality of everyday life. grief. clawing through the rubble for those trapped underneath. more than 50 people were in the building, says ahmed al—alus, who says he lost a relative, grandchildren, children and daughters he says all displaced, they had taken shelter there. he says they were all civilians. the bodies were taken to a nearby hospital. at least 25 people, including 13 children, according to gaza's civil defence agency. "god is all i need," mohammed cries.

"this is a massacre." israel's renewed offensive in northern gaza has now been going on for weeks. targeting, it says, hamas, who it accuses of hiding behind civilians. and after more than a year of war, israel's leader is feeling strong and with a new ally. translation: in the last few days, i have spoken l three times with president—elect donald trump. these were conversations to tighten the lines between israel and the united states. for months, america has been urging israel to limit the number of civilian casualties in gaza. donald trump has pledged to end the war. and bibi netanyahu might be ready to listen. dozens of people have been arrested in amsterdam

during a pro—palestinian demonstration. hundreds of protesters gathered in the capital's dam square, chanting "free palestine" and "amsterdam says no to genocide", in reference to the war in gaza. the protesters were defying a ban on demonstrations following unrest involving israeli soccer fans on friday. the ban is in place until thursday. king charles has led the uk 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. 10,000 veterans and civilians also took part, paying their respects to those who lost their lives in the two world wars and in other conflicts. 0ur senior royal correspondent daniela relph reports. the quiet precision of the servicemen and women on whitehall. the king led the nation in remembrance, as big ben

signalled the start of the two minutes silence. big ben sounds. music: last post. the king laid the first wreath, honoured those whose lives had been lost in conflict. the looking on the princess of wales, as she continues her careful return to public duty. with her, sophie, duchess of edinburgh. queen camilla was not here, she is recovering from a chest infection.

at the centre for the first time as prime minister and party leader, kier starmer and kemi badenoch. is a country paused to reflect. remembrance sunday is about those who served. at 104 years old, this was christian lam's first time at the ceremony. a navy veteran who helps with the planning of dj. it was extraordinary, nothing i had been to before was like that. i was pleased to be there to celebrate with other people. 88 years younger was lexie, here with a charity to remember her father. there is so many emotions, there is sadness, but it is mostly pride and honour to know you're honouring your loved one and what they did.

just being present here is so meaningful for so many on a day when they are being honoured. the head of the regional government in valencia is facing mounting pressure to resign over his handling of the catastrophic floods in eastern spain, which left at least 217 people dead. more than 100,000 people took to the streets of valencia city centre on saturday night, calling for carlos mazon to quit over the authorities' perceived mishandling of the disaster. riot police sealed off the entrance to the city hall, where there were clashes with protesters. earlier, i spoke to silvia martinez rother, who was at the protest last night and has been helping her family, who lives in valencia, with their recovery. the situation here is still really bad. 12 days after the floods, we are still removing mud from all over and it's really devastating to see

that the cleaning close to process is slow. the cleaning process is so 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? because i believe that, no matter the ideology of the person right now, we all agree on the fact that the regional authority, that was the main competent one to deal with the situation, was so negligent and we feel that many people would have saved their lives and the damage would have been less. does that mean there weren't enough warnings before the floods? is that right? there wasn't enough time for people to prepare and there

should have been more warning? absolutely. there should have been more warning, earlier warnings, they should have given us information about how to react. because for example, many people died because they went to get their cars outside the buildings and then they got trapped and they couldn't escape. there could have been information that could have saved lives. but people didn't know and the moment they saw that there was water, they thought, ok, i'm going to take the car outside in case there's a flood, so it won't get affected. the response before the flood was really bad but after the flood as well, people felt so abandoned. for the first days and week, it was just the volunteers of the neighbours who could get to clear the houses

and roads because there were no soldiers, no—one. we felt so alone. the latest cop climate conference, cop29, begins tomorrow in baku, in azerbaijan. these huge un summits are when the world comes together to try to agree how to solve climate change. virtually every country will be represented. this year is projected to be the first when average temperatures pass the symbolic boundary of 1.5 celsius, higher than before the industrial revolution and the age of greenhouse gases. 0ur climate editorjustin rowlatt now reports. a veritable city of steel. baku was the birthplace of the modern oil industry. the first oil wells were dug here more than 150 years ago. but as baku prepares to host the world's biggest

climate conference, there are challenges ahead. donald trump, the us president—elect, is sceptical of climate action. my plan will terminate the green new deal, which i call the green new scam. greatest scam in history, probably. he's said he'll pull the us out of the key part of the un talks. the us has sent a negotiating team, but when trump takes office injanuary, he can overturn any promises they make. i can give you some of the statistics. but activists involved in the talks say they don't think the summit will be derailed. if we're going to be able to hold warming to below 1.5, it will take the whole world to come together. geopolitics. the biggest geopolitical challenge the world faces is climate change. if we don't tackle it, we don't have a planet. but top of the agenda is the trickiest subject of all. they are calling this the money cop because the focus is on finance. negotiators want to agree a new goalfor how much money

richer countries should be paying to poorer countries to move away from fossil fuels and also adapt their countries to climate change. at the moment, its $100 billion a year. the hope is it will be hundreds of billions of dollars a year. developing countries would like it to be more than $1 trillion. the fear is, with the us likely leaving the field, it will be much harder to raise that money. and that in turn could mean countries dial down their carbon cutting ambitions. here in the uk, leading pub and restaurant chains have warned the chancellor rachel reeves that tax rises announced in the budget will unquestionably lead to job losses and the closure of small businesses. more than 200 hospitality companies have signed a letter stating that catering contracts forschools, hospitals and prisons may be at risk. from april, the rate employers pay in national insurance will rise from 13.8% to 15%, while the threshold at

which they start paying the tax on each employee's salary will be reduced from £9,100 per year to £5,000. more from our business correspondent marc ashdown. service. hospitality bosses are still reeling from what they claim amounts to a £3.11 billion hit to the industry. the hike in employers' national insurance contributions from april leaves businesses with a stark choice raise prices for customers or cut investment and jobs, or face going under. we've had a triple whammy for hospitality in the budget. we're disproportionately hit by changes in minimum wage and living wage, business rate relief being halved and the national insurance, notjust the rate, but more importantly, the halving of the threshold, which means many more of our businesses and workers are brought into scope. 209 bosses of leading businesses have written

to rachel reeves about the new employer national insurance contributions. they warn there's little capacity to pass costs onto customers without fuelling inflation. they write that, unquestionably, many hospitality businesses will now have to reconsider their investment plans, to drastically cut hours for staff and some jobs. they also predict widespread small business closures within a year. to mitigate all that, they call for the creation of a new 5% national insurance employer band up to £9,100, and for part—time staff working fewer than 20 hours a week to be made exempt. but the government said the money raised would fund public services, including the nhs. these things have to be paid for, and we've designed a system that protects working people and tries to protect smaller businesses. so the big business, tough, suck it up? well, look, there are measures more broadly in the budget which we think are good

for business and good for growth and good for the economy, but on tax contributions, yes, it's been designed in that way. there's a warning, too, that catering contracts for hospitals, schools and prisons might also now be under threat. we can talk now to kate nicholls, chief executive of uk hospitality, who was in marc's report and joins me live. thank you for coming on to programme. thank you for coming on to programme-— thank you for coming on to rouramme. . ~ i. ., ., programme. thank you for having a me. programme. thank you for having a me- why _ programme. thank you for having a me- why do _ programme. thank you for having a me- why do you _ programme. thank you for having a me. why do you think— programme. thank you for having a me. why do you think the - a me. why do you think the consequences _ a me. why do you think the consequences could - a me. why do you think the consequences could be - a me. why do you think the consequences could be so l a me. why do you think the i consequences could be so bad for your interest rate? you have to — for your interest rate? you have to out _ for your interest rate? you have to put it _ for your interest rate? you have to put it in _ for your interest rate? you have to put it in corn - have to put it in corn but by that context, this sector that was closed due to covid, their businesses coming out of that that are heavily indebted and lacking in resilience there are food price inflation and a third of our operating and its break even or below. these are businesses in a sector that is particularly vulnerable to economic shocks and was a very big shock we had in the budget when the chancellor announced the halving of the nic threshold and that's for

for parts of england and wales, the sunshine at all so far this november. that is about to change because monty promises much more sunshine across the board. the recent weatherfront are sweeping away the low cloud, giving patchy rain and drizzle it as it moves through wales into southern england. sometimes behind but largely clear skies overnight so it will be a coater night. not too much frost but a frost on the grass first thing on monday morning, possibly low level fog patches are particularly across scotland and northern ireland but not exclusively. the clouds to track and cross the far south of england and the channel islands first thing and then this northerly breeze may bring some showers into east anglia as well as a few further north and west. it is high pressure and clearer sky, plenty sunshine and despite a call to start, the sunshine will compensate with temperatures getting just a little above average. as we then go through the evening and

overnight, high pressure takes its place across our shores once again. the front is rather weak as they move southwards and we may see a little bit of showery rain in the far southeast of england into tuesday. a bit more cloud as well because we pick up a northeasterly breeze. that said, for most, despite a chillier start, said, for most, despite a chillierstart, more said, for most, despite a chillier start, more grass and frost arounds, it will be pleasant in the sunshine. we gradually introduce more cloud again in the north with showery rain in the south. 0ur winter of sunshine is diminishing a little as we move through the week with these front around and early morning frost and patchy frog as well. temperatures to tip away away a little and that is because it looks set by the end the end of the week to get colder. cold air is seeping across most parts of the country but with tax, low pressure, so turning wetter and windier and the potential therefore is for some

snow over the hell is. it is getting colder through to the weekend and into the early part of next week and more unsettled as well. more on the website.

this is bbc news, the headlines... russia and ukraine have carried out their biggest drone

attacks against each other since the start of the war. ukraine's air force says russia launched 145 drones, attacking all parts of the country. the mayor of moscow says 32 ukrainian drones were destroyed as they approached the russian capital. donald trump has completed his decisive victory in the us presidential election, with a projected win in arizona. it means he's defeated vice president kamala harris in all seven swing states. mr trump's final electoral college total is nearly 100 votes higher than his democratic rival. king charles has led the nation in two minutes of silence in remembrance of men and women who lost their lives serving in the two world wars or other conflicts. tens of thousands of veterans and civiliansjoined the king now it's time for a look at today's sport. hello from the bbc sport centre. we're starting with football and the premier league, where ipswich — who were second from bottom and winless

at the start of the day — have beaten tottenham away for their first victory of the season, and as they've been out of the top flight for so long, it's also their first premier league win for 22 years! ipswich were 2—0 up at half time after goals from sammie szmodics and liam delap. rodrigo bentancur gave the home fans some hope with a second—half consolation goal but it stayed 2—1, which moves ipwsich out of the relegation zone. there were celebrations at old trafford where manchester united had their biggest win of the season at home to leicester. bruno fernandes starred in his 250th game for united, scoring twice and setting up the third. the result means its three wins out of four for ruud van nistelrooy, who's been in temporary charge before ruben amorim arrives tomorrow as their new manager. i have to say, the whole team were together. they fought, did everything they could, and that's a bit the journey we started

four games ago. we tried to... before the four games, you know, we said to each other, let's make the most of it. let's get the maximum out of each other and the most results possible. and i think we did an 0kjob. in the day's other game, newcastle came from a goal down to beat nottingham forest 3—1. in the late kick off its 5th v 6th as chelsea play arsenal. it 6th as chelsea play arsenal. is half—time at the mt goalless it is half—time at the moment. goalless at the stamford bridge. 0nto the weekend's rugby union internationals, and wales' long run of defeats is now up to 10, equalling their worst record, after they were beaten at home to fiji today. wales haven't won a test match for over a year, and took the lead early on after blair murray scored a try on his debut. and they built on that to lead after fiji had a player sent off to lead 14—10 at half—time. but despite the man advantage, wales weren't able to hold on. fiji were too strong for them and went on to win it 24—19. theirfirst ever win

in cardiff. under way at the moment, scotland are in action against south afica. scotland's last win against the springboks came in 2010. they've been playing about 50 minutes. it's currently 19—12 to south africa. one of the greatest cyclists of all time, sir mark cavendish, has won his final race. cavandish won the singapore criterium, bringing the curtain down on a record—breaking career. he wore number 35 at the exhibition event today, to symbolise his unrivalled number of stage wins at the tour de france. the race ended with one last sprint finish — and one final podium appearance as a professional rider — although he says he does want to stay in the sport. england's paul waring held off some off golf�*s biggest names to win the abu dhabi championship, the penultimate event of the dp world tour season. the world number 229 had already broken both the course and the european tour record in his opening two rounds at yas links, and after a wobble yesterday, he carded a six under par round of 66 in his final round today to take victory,

beating a top—class field including fellow countryman tyrell hatton by two shots and rory mcilroy in a tie for third. it's waring's second win on the european tour and it puts him fifth in the race to dubai standings, with the season—ending tour championship starting on thursday. it hasn't sunk in yet. 0bviously, it hasn't sunk in yet. obviously, i still think i have got to go and do something else or play another hall or something, because i never let myself think i was over the line at any point. i always knew there was work to be done. so it hasn't quite hit me yet. i'm sure it will do it on pain of having a beer. —— when i am having a beer. and that's all the sport for now. the cryptocurrency bitcoin has for the first time reached the $80,000 mark — a level analysts say reflects optimism over

the incoming trump presidency. over the course of the biden administration, regulators in the us have been described as being "unfriendly" towards crypto firms, with various enforcement actions working to suppress the market. mr trump had previously been a crypto sceptic, describing it as a "scam" against the dollar, but in his campaign he showed himself to be very much on board, promising a raft of reforms to boost the industry, also launching a crypto venture of his own. let's speak to brian rudick, who is the head of research at gsr, which is a crypto trading firm. so, a bigjump in price in bitcoin. so, a big “ump in price in bitcoin._ so, a big “ump in price in bitcoin. ~ . , ., ., bitcoin. what is going on? yeah, i— bitcoin. what is going on? yeah, i guess _ bitcoin. what is going on? yeah, i guess this - bitcoin. what is going on? yeah, i guess this latest l yeah, i guess this latest started last year really due to the point where bitcoin was 25 k, but it continued to move up

through last year into january, but that pushed us to the mid—60s, and then it was really trump's victory and the fact that the republicans won the senate and the likely take the house and could potentially institute many of trump's promises towards the industry, that could put us on the verge of a whole bunch of development and option and usage for the industry, and that is what people are very excited about. as a sustainable, though? because bitcoin goes up but it also goes crashing back down as well. . ~ . well. yeah, well, we think that this will be _ well. yeah, well, we think that this will be sustainable - well. yeah, well, we think that this will be sustainable and - this will be sustainable and that prices can continue to move up. there is really for big impacts in our minds. number one is regulatory clarity. as you had mentioned, the loss in the us had been fairly unclear, the sec has tried to use laws that were created in the 1930s to regulate crypto come and we think that as we get additional

regulatory clarity, that can cause a bunch of institutional participation in development. number two, participation in development. numbertwo, trump participation in development. number two, trump has promised to replace the sec chair. it is unclear if he can legally do so but it is unlikely that they will step down, so many think that this will lead to a more friendly sec. trump has promised to agitated strategic bitcoin reserve. it results are already a bill in congress from senator loomis that would direct the government to buy 5% of bitcoin supply. it is unclear if there is enough widespread political will for this to occur but if it did that could actually unite are global nation state level war for bitcoin, and lastly to the extent that either the us government and other governments around the world continue to run up debt and have inflation move up, that just increases bitcoin's efficacy as an inflation and fiscal hedge.—

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 gave us the latest, from florida a short while ago. 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. 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—lago, 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. 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 — an independent think party, has this response to his plans — which includes the "mass deportations of migrants" and a major crackdown on illegal border crossings. 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 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? one at the major considerations as there are 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 interior of the country and not enough planes to try to send them back to their home countries. another question is if home countries will accept people back — venezuelan is not accepting its nationals,

for example. there are expected to be legal challenges, as you mention. on what kind of grounds? many people watching will go, if you are in a country illegally, the country has a right to remove you? legal challenges could be a range of different lawsuits. one major consideration is due process considerations for migrants who may not be receiving immigration court proceedings as they normally would. another consideration is the racial profiling of people. in the past when there have been a large number of deportations, lawful us citizens have been swept up in raids. the people of the us of course had voted for donald trump. he has a 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 and even the military to go into communities and assist with these nasty deportations. we are talking about restarts of work site enforcement raids. 0ne majorfactor will be instilling fear into communities. it will change whether or not people feel comfortable leaving their homes in the first place. 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. 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, 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 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. moushmi bakshi, bbc news. two earthquakes hit cuba. we don't have many details but we know the first, a powerful 5.9 magnitude earthquake struck off the southern coast of cuba. and no reports of a second, more

powerful earthquake, 6.8 magnitude, hence cuba. that is from the us geological survey. so, two earthquakes have hit cuba. the first 5.9 magnitude, and the second, more powerful, at 6.8 magnitude. we will be keeping a cross development out of cuba over the next couple of hours. 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, has been finding out why the book caused such a backlash. the book is called billy and the epic escape this 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 touch on 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. stars including the pet shop boys, shawn mendes, and raye will walk the red carpet at manchester 5 co—op live arena this evening for this year's mtv europe music awards. british pop star rita 0ra is hosting the awards

seen any sunshine at all so far this november. that is about to change because monday promises much more sunshine across the board. the reason, a weatherfront sweeping away the low cloud, giving patchy rain and drizzle as it moves through wales, the midlands, into southern england. some showers behind but largely clear skies overnight, so it will be a colder night. not too much frost but a frost on the grass first thing on monday morning, possibly low—level fog patches, particularly across scotland and northern ireland, but not exclusively. the cloud dragging aross the far south of england and the channel islands first thing, then this northerly breeze may bring some showers into east anglia as well as a few further north and west. but it is high pressure and clearer air, plenty sunshine and despite a colder start, the sunshine will compensate with temperatures getting just a little above average. as we then go through the evening and overnight, high pressure takes

its place across our shores once again. the fronts rather weak as they move southwards and we may see a little bit of showery rain in the far southeast of england into tuesday. a bit more cloud as well because we pick up a northeasterly breeze. that said, for most, despite a chillier start, more grass frost around, it will be pleasant in the sunshine, and there will be a good deal of that. we gradually introduce more cloud again on wednesday, this time in the north with showery rain in the south. 0ur window of sunshine is diminishing a little as we move through the week with these weak fronts around and early morning frost and patchy fog as well. temperatures starting to dip away away a little and that is because it looks set by the end the end of the week to get colder. cold air is seeping across most parts of the country but with it, low pressure, so turning wetter and windier and the potential therefore is for some snow over the hills.

it is getting colder through to the weekend and into the early part of next week, and more unsettled as well. more on the website.
