who'll bejoining the trump administration? we'll get an update from florida as the president—elect weighs up his choices. and, honoring the fallen — king charles joins other senior royals for events to mark remembrance sunday. russia has given its most positive response yet to the election of donald trump. the kremlin spokesman, dmitry peskov, said the us president—elect was showing no desire to inflict defeat on russia, unlike the biden administration. his comments camejust after russia and ukraine launched their biggest drone attacks on each other since the war began. 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. this report from our diplomatic

correspondent, james landale. the aftermath of a massive drone strike. but this is not kyiv, this is the outskirts of moscow after one of the 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, thought to be one of its largest drone attacks. russia is making gains on the battlefield and putting pressure on ukraine's energy network — 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. ministers said their support for ukraine was resolute and they would spend more — 2.5% of national income, but wouldn't say when they'll meet the target until after a defence review. 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 said it saw positive signals. firstly to you, lord mandelson... the man tipped as a possible future ambassador to the united states suggested ukraine might have to compromise, giving up nato membership ambitions and even what he called 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 analysts expecting russia to try to press home its advantage as power is transferred in the us. james landale, bbc news. defence analyst and former british army captain, patrick bury, explains the significance of the latest exchange of drone attacks. i think really the drone attacks are interesting, because usually you use the drones to try to use up your adversaries�* air defence assets. so, the way the attacks have been happening in recent times, especially from the russians in terms of attacking kyiv and other places, is that they send the drones first, try to overwhelm the air defence, and then behind it or simultaneously with it they send their cruise and ballistic missiles, which cause way more damage. and so, what's interesting now to see is what is going to come after, if anything. if nothing comes after, then, like the chief of defence staff said,

maybe there's some signs that those russian stockpiles of missiles are starting to wane. but on the other hand, usually what they do is they wait for a few months. if you remember, it was a couple of months ago there was a large attack across ukraine using the combined drones, missiles, etc. they usually have to wait and rebuild those stocks. so, i think it's interesting from that perspective, we can't really gauge the exact importance of itjust yet. you want to look and see what happens afterwards in terms of the missiles. from the ukrainian perspective, i mean, it'd be very interesting to know. do they have any sort of specific intelligence, given the way that the oligarchs in russia use privatejets to move around the country, and therefore targeting those airports may have had a had an actual intent and, you know, related to intelligence. but at the moment, of course, more broadly it brings the costs of the war home to russians. it's not a good look for putin. but i think strategically more important, you know, would be targeting the air bases, which they've done, and also the oil infrastructure. donald trump's ukraine

policy will be heavily influenced by who he chooses as secretary of state. that's just one of several key roles for which the president—elect is yet to announce his choice. we do know that susie wiles will be the new white house chief of staff, the first woman to hold the post. she will be trump's top aide when he takes office injanuary, overseeing daily operations in the west wing and managing his staff. helena humphrey is in florida. she's been giving us more details on donald trump's plans for his administration. we are here in mar—a—lago, florida, the home of donald trump, his private resort, where we understand that he is continuing to hold those meetings throughout the course of the weekend. he'll be presented with a list of candidates. but in terms of who is in, who is out, well, donald trump has taken to truth social to say that there will not be job offers for mike pompeo, who was his former us secretary of state. there was some speculation as to whether he could take the role of defence secretary. nor will there be a position for nikki haley, who served as the us ambassador to the united nations.

so, both previously holding important positions in his administration. as to why, well, mike pompeo, although he was loyal to donald trump, distanced himself somewhat following 2020, only officially endorsing him when he became officially the republican candidate. and when it comes to nikki haley, of course, she was an opponent in the republican primaries, wasn't she? and on the debate stage, she called donald trump, for example, unhinged. but then she did come out and speak at the republican national convention, she did endorse him. we even had some speculation as to whether she would be joining him on stage last week in a bid to win over perhaps some undecided voters, some women voters. but, no, they will not be getting jobs. you may remember in donald trump's first term presidency, he often used social media to talk about someone notjust being hired, but also being fired. susie wiles, as you were mentioning, the only firm name right now is his white house chief of staff, someone referred to as the ice maiden. on her linkedin profile,

she talks about trying to find order in chaos as one of her key skills. but one of the roles really to watch, i think, here is attorney general, that's seen as the most consequential, perhaps, for donald trump heading up thejustice department, of course, at a time when he continues to have investigations into him. although he does now, or he will benefit once again from presidential immunity. and then also that will be the person who can decide whether there will be a prosecution into any of donald trump's political opponents. that is something that he has said that he would do if he were in office, including firing the special counsel, jack smith. and, helena, we're getting a bit more information about the electoral map, and he's closing in on winning the house of representatives as well. that's right. it's looking like a clean sweep. with arizona, that battleground state now going for donald trump. when it comes to the house of representatives inching ever closer. and that means that donald trump is getting closer to have

full control of congress. he would then potentially have that trifecta of power here in the united states, the white house. he has already appointed conservative judges to the supreme court, and then also potentially control of congress as well, which would make his agenda smoother, potentially, in terms of enacting some of those key america first policies, for example, a mass deportation being one of them. and speaking in an exclusive nbc news interview, he said that he does intend to carry that out. he said he wouldn't put a price on it. he said that he had no choice and it had to happen. maura gillespie is a republican strategist and was the press adviser to former republican speakerjohn boehner. i spoke with her earlier, and she explained what is motivating trump's staffing choices. trump has largely surrounded himself with, you know, elon musk, rfkjr, tulsi gabbard, and who have largely, i believe, influenced him on, you know, not having someone who has a background of being what they would call a war hawk.

i don't necessarily agree with that description. but i think it also has to do with the fact that nikki haley spoke so poorly about the former president when she was running against him for the nomination, and while she did show up for him at the rnc convention, he has largely kept her at arm's length. and i think he wanted to make it very clear that to his supporters who are worried about that, that he was not going to include her or embrace her back into his fold. so, it speaks volumes, but it also is a concern as far as we look at foreign policy and how much of a focus that will be for the trump administration. what about on foreign policy? what kind of areas do you think we're expecting any kind of ability for him actually to effect change? because, after all, some of these areas are places where events will take control. how much control do you think he'll actually have on foreign policy when he does come into power? so, i think it will be a large conversation about financing and how much we're spending. and so that will put pressure on the house members and especially on house speaker mikejohnson and how he is able to handle

the budget conversations and negotiating, because there has been a lot of, on the far right, there has been a lot of concern about how much is being spent in areas like ukraine, as opposed to what's happening here during recent hurricanes and flooding. and so there's been this narrative out there that we've spent, you know, so much more money on our allies, as opposed to the people here in this country. and i think that, one, it's important for members of congress to fact check those. you know, a lot of these are conspiracy theories, but a lot of them, you know, are confusing in how they're written. and so being clear in our messaging and being clear in what's going on, i think that's what people really are asking for. and that's what we saw in this election, is that they just want to be told what's going on, and it's really important to message that clearly. and i know both sides do this, where they really lay in and kind of tailor the truth to however they want it to be. i think it's important that you have some people who are going to be honest brokers, both for the country and for the institutions that they serve. the us presidential election casts a long shadow. the latest cop climate

conference, cop29, begins on monday 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 editor, justin rowlatt, now reports. archive: 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. 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, it's $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. justin rowlatt, bbc news, baku. now it's time for a look at today's sport. we're starting with football and it's been quite a day in the premier league — let's start with chelsea v arsenal. the late kick—off between the london clubs ended in a 1—all draw — the perfect result for their title rivals. but the game was far from dreary with plenty of action. gabriel martinelli scored first for arsenal and chelsea's pedro neto cancelled it out. the result moves both sides up a place to 3rd and 11th respectively — the first time chelsea have been so far up the table for two and a half years. it is the way that we want to

do things, try to play face—to—face against every team. we are chelsea, so i think it is also important to send us kind of message. knowing clubs, working with the same and jurors for years, we are behind them for sure. but in terms of goal for the game and try to win, i said many times, we are chelsea and we have to do that. it's been a good day for ipswich — second from bottom and winless at the start of the day. they've now got their first victory of the season after beating tottenham away, and as it's been so long since they've been in the top flight, it means 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 consolation goal, but it stayed 2—1 which moves ipwsich out of the relegation zone. and the players are delighted, they know this is a win to cherish, out of the context of the season, anyway. but they also know where we want to get to as a football club is winning games in the premier

league, and it's been a big journey to get to this. everyone is pretty level and everyone is delighted about today. 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 it's three wins out of four for ruud van nistelrooy — who's been in temporary charge before ruben amorim arrives tomorrow as their new manager. in the day's other game, newcastle came from a goal down to beat nottingham forest 3—1. 0nto the weekend's rugby union internationals — and wales' long run of defeats is now up to ten, 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 211—19 — theirfirst ever win in cardiff. it's been a southern hemisphere whitewash this weekend. scotland joined wales, england and ireland with defeat to south africa. they were beaten by the world champions 32—15 in edinburgh. 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've got to go and do something else, like, play another hole or something. else, like, play another hole orsomething. i kind of else, like, play another hole or something. i kind of never allowed myself to think i was over the light at any point, i always knew there was a job to be done, work to be done as i was playing. so it hasn't hit me yet. i'm sure it will later on when i'm having a beer. england are playing the second t20 international against the west indies. more on our developing story this hour. two strong earthquakes have hit the southern coast of cuba, shaking buildings in the east of the island. the us geological survey said the first, near santiago — the island's second—largest city — measured 5.9. the second was stronger, measuring 6.8, and struck close to the first quake. there are no reports so far of injuries or damage, and the us national tsunami warning center says there's no tsunami threat expected as a result of the quake.

at all so far this november. that is about to change because monday promises much more sunshine across the board. the reason — a weather front 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 breeze may bring some showers into east anglia showers into east anglia as well as a few as well as a few further north and west. further north and west. but it is high pressure but it is high pressure and clearer air, plenty and clearer air, plenty sunshine and despite a colder sunshine and despite a colder start, the sunshine across our shores once again. start, the sunshine will compensate with will compensate with temperatures getting just temperatures getting just a little above average. a little above average. as we then go through as we then go through the evening and overnight, the evening and overnight, high pressure takes its place high pressure takes its place

across our shores once again. the fronts are 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
