defeated and the death of its leader was a crowning achievement. honouring the fallen — king charles joins other senior royals for events to mark remembrance sunday. and, raye wins best uk and ireland act at the mtv europe music awards. hello, i'm lauren taylor. president biden's national security adviser has urged donald trump not to walk away from ukraine. jake sullivan said joe biden would use his remaining time in office to make the case that kyiv should be given further support. mr sullivan's comments come as the world waits to see exactly what the new administration's policy on ukraine will be. the washington post is reporting that mr trump spoke

on the phone with mr putin on thursday, urging him not to escalate the war. for its part, russia has given its most positive response yet to mr trump's victory. the kremlin spokesman, dmitry peskov, said the us president—elect was showing no desire to inflict defeat on russia. the conflict, though, goes on. in the last 2a hours, russia and ukraine have launched their biggest drone attacks on each other since the war began. 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 forces. but he said russia was also suffering huge losses —

1500 killed or wounded every day. 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 to strengthen the armed forces. ministers insist their support for ukraine is resolute, but this treasury minister refused to say when the government would meet its target of spending 2.5% of national income on defence. i'm not going to give you a date today, because we have to allow the strategic defence review to conclude, which will inform our decisions about how much money we need to spend and what we need to spend on. 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 ukrainejoining nato, but by nato members offering security guarantees. for now, the fighting in eastern ukraine continues, with analysts expecting russia to try to press home its advantage as power is transferred in the us. james landale, bbc news. as we mentioned earlier, the lobbying around what the trump administration's policy might be in ukraine is intensifying. helena humphrey is in west palm beach, florida, and has more details on the reported call between trump and vladimir putin.

on the campaign trail, donald trump repeatedly said he would solve the war in ukraine within 2a hours, without saying how he would achieve that. i think the anxiety for kyiv is that that could be achieved through territorial concessions, negotiations essentially which would not be in their favour. we've now been hearing from the washington post, citing unnamed sources, that a phone call has been held between president—elect donald trump, here in mar—a—lago, and the russian president, vladimir putin. that's not something the bbc has been able to verify. nevertheless there has been a statement from the trump team, saying, "we do not comment on private calls between president trump and other world leaders, but those calls have begun to begin the process of developing stronger relationships with the 45th and 47th president, because he represents global peace and stability. "

according to that reporting from the unnamed sources in the washington post, donald trump also reminded vladimir putin that washington still has a strong military presence on european soil. but when you also look at comments from the kremlin, saying that they appear to be positive about the stance from the president—elect, because this represents peace, as opposed to defeat towards russia. we know that vladimir putin called donald trump someone who is courageous in the wake of that assassination attempt whilst he congratulated him on his victory. when it comes to ukraine, there was a phone call between president—elect donald trump and volodymyr zelensky, also attended by donald trump's billionaire backer, elon musk, in which he thanked him for those starlink communication systems allowing for internet on the battlefield. but i think perhaps a cautious tone as well from president zelensky, because there is that anxiety about what exactly an end to this war could look like.

i suppose, some of the appointments in the cabinet will have an influence, won't they? indeed. the name that we have of course already is susie wiles for the white house chief of staff. on her linkedin profile, it mentions that she finds order in chaos. we have also had president—elect donald trump taking to truth social to say who will not be in his administration, namely two previously high ranking people in his first administration — mike pompeo, his former us secretary of state, and nikki haley, the us ambassador to the united nations during his first administration. both of these people were loyal to donald trump, but of course nikki haley was an opponent on the campaign trail, looking to secure that republican nomination. in a debate, she called him unhinged. mike pompeo, loyal as secretary of state, he was being tipped perhaps for the us secretary of defence role.

but again he only endorsed president—elect donald trump once it was confirmed he would be the republican candidate. i think a lot of eyes on who will be the attorney general role. the attorney general role, heading up the deparpment ofjustice. bearing in mind that that will be key in terms of donald trump's promises to carry out a mass deportation of undocumented migrants, as well as pardoning the january 6 rioters. one name currently being discussed is mike lee, the senator of utah, who also worked with donald trump in his efforts to contest the results of the 2020 election. donald trump campaigned on a sweeping immigration plan, that will begin on the first day of his presidency. this includes the "mass deportations of migrants" and a major crackdown on illegal border crossings. he has pledged to "seal the border" and stop what he called the "migrant invasion". let's speak to tess hellgren, director of legal advocacy at the innovation law lab,

which works with migrants. tell us about the practicalities of this. can he go ahead and do some of those things on day one? we go ahead and do some of those things on day one?— things on day one? we know these plans _ things on day one? we know these plans are _ things on day one? we know these plans are already - these plans are already written. what is up to us now is how we respond to them. throughout history in moments like this, communities have come together to protect families and community members, and that's what needs to happen again and that's what we're doing, and the rule of law is an important aspect in that. president trump might have executive powers over immigration as the head of the sect of branch, but that power is not unchecked. there is still the rule of law, that is at the us constitution, there are procedural rights for immigrants enshrined in us and international law, and that is the right to seek protection in the right to seek protection in the united states itself which remains. �* , ., the united states itself which remains. �* . remains. are you concerned some of those rights — remains. are you concerned some of those rights might _ remains. are you concerned some of those rights might be _ remains. are you concerned some of those rights might be swept - of those rights might be swept away? is there any possibility

of using executive orders to try to bypass of the things you're talking about? absolutely of the executive has great power in the immigration sofia, and we expect there will be executive orders coming out on immigration from day one. laws that our legislative branch have passed, executive orders cannot wipe away treaty obligations we have under the refugee convention and other aspects of international law. so it is important that we know what the rule of law is and it is communicated.— what the rule of law is and it is communicated. how much of a roblem is communicated. how much of a problem you _ is communicated. how much of a problem you think _ is communicated. how much of a problem you think the _ is communicated. how much of a problem you think the climate i problem you think the climate will be? given his one at the popular vote, the electoral college, he appears to have one at the house and the cemetery. given that kind of mandate, how difficult will the atmosphere be to push back against the measures he is suggesting? i think we looked back in history at times like this, communities come together. immigrants are woven into every aspect of

american life, and so it really is going to be a test for not only immigrants and immigrant rights advocates, but for the american people to stand up for the rule of law and for the values that we know are true to our country. and we make sure that people know their rights and that we hold the administration accountable as much as we can with the tools that we have, even of those legal tools change over time. i suppose one of the surprising things is that many people who have been migrants into the us actually voted for trump and for a tougher immigration rules. what rights do people have at the moment?- rules. what rights do people have at the moment? went very im ortant have at the moment? went very important right _ have at the moment? went very important right as _ have at the moment? went very important right as you _ have at the moment? went very important right as you have - have at the moment? went very important right as you have the | important right as you have the right not to open your door. when we talk about these mass deportations, you have the right to not open the door of an official maps on your door unless they have a sound judicial warrant. you have the right to due process, you have the right to... whether you

have little starters, if you're seeking protection, it may depend on how you enter the country, how recently you entered. there are a lot of intricacies in immigration law, but you have rights. and one of thoseis but you have rights. and one of those is to work with an attorney to be represented at no cost to the government, and it is important individuals and their rights and work to support the fruitless time. just before we leave all things trump — confirmation that republicans are inching closer to taking control of all the levers of government. votes are still being counted in some races. but having already secured the white house and the senate, republicans are also close to reaching the 218 seats needed to control the house of representatives. most of the remaining 17 races are in competitive districts in western states. ia of those seats were widely seen as competitive ahead of the election. israel's new defence minister, israel katz, has said hezbollah has been defeated, and described the killing of the group's leader, hassan nasrallah, as the "crowning achievement". mr katz said israel was not

interested in meddling in lebanon's internal affairs. but he expressed hope that an international coalition would capitalise on hezbollah�*s defeat, and that lebanon would normalise relations with israel. he was speaking at a handover ceremony at the foreign ministry injerusalem: translation: we defeated i hezbollah, and the elimination of nasrallah was a crowning achievement. now it is ourjob to continue the pressure, and we will work together to consolidate the fruits of this victory by ensuring that the security situation in lebanon has changed. journalist noga tarnopolsky, injerusalem, explains how widespread the impact will be. it is not really widespread, and it was received with a bit of derision in israel today, reminiscent of the time that president george bush announced "mission accomplished" as the war

was still raging. in the experience of israelis, the war is still raging. between 60,000 and 80,000 internally displaced israelis are unable to return home to the north of the country. there is a constant rain of missiles still being launched by the same hezbollah that the new defence minister said has been defeated. do you think he's to signal an advance that they want to end the operation? or is it a kind of bombastic mood just because he is taking over a newjob? that is my best guess. i think it was a bombastic and rhetorical statement, as he is entering a job that not many people ever he would get, as a minister very close to neta nyahu but with almost no military experience at all.

what is going to change under him? what is expected to change immediately is netanyahu's direct influence on the defence ministry. israel katz has no knowledge of the way that israel's vast bureaucracy of the defence establishment works. the army and the prime minister have already been experiencing great tensions and disagreements between them for months. so, the removal of yoav gallant, a former general and a man with deep knowledge and deep connections in the entire military establishment of israel, is viewed as netanyahu basically stepping in, despite the fact that legally he can't step in because he is on trial for corruption. so, the appointment of israel katz is being viewed as the appointment of a fairly weak crony that will allow netanyahu to have more direct influence on the army, and possibly even more open and explicit conflicts with them. i suppose everything at the moment is being viewed through the lens of what

happens in the us next as well. there are reports that trump has spoken to netanyahu three times since he won the presidential election. what do you think that signals? that was a statement made by netanyahu himself today in a kind of spate of sunday statements that seem to glorify him. he said he has already spoken to trump three times, he is dispatching his right—hand man to meet with trump, i think, tomorrow. so, netanyahu is moving fairly quickly to consolidate that relationship, or at least to give israelis who are very sceptical of his leadership during this war the feeling that he is reviving the alliance he had with trump during the first administration. tell us a little bit about the situation with regards to gaza and the hostages. where are the protests now?

are they continuing? the protests are continuing, there were very large protests last night. but the families of hostages received two major blows over the weekend, one was the firing of the defence minister, who was really their point man. the other was the qataris' announcement they would be withdrawing as mediator between hamas and israel until both sides show willingness and seriousness. i think that is fair to say from what we have had from the hostage families today that they are at a nadir, and they feel real desperation and close to a loss of hope to recover their loved ones. lebanon's health ministry says at least 20 people, including three children, have been killed in israeli strikes near the port city of byblos. there has also been a series of air strikes by israel's military on targets in the bekaa valley, including this one in the village of sareen. israel says it is targeting hezbollah militia operating in lebanon.

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 his report 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, 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," abdullah 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 three times with president—elect donald trump. these were good and very important conversations, conversations designed to further tighten the firm alliance 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 benjamin netanyahu might be ready to listen. jon donnison, bbc news, jerusalem. 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—minute silence. big ben chimes

music: last post the king laid the first wreath, honouring those whose lives had been lost in conflict. 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's still recovering from a chest infection. at the cenotaph for the first time as prime minister and party leader, sir keir starmer and kemi badenoch. as the country

paused to reflect. remembrance sunday is about those who served. at 104 years old, this was christian lamb's first time in the march—past along whitehall — a navy veteran who'd helped with the planning of d—day. it was so extraordinary, nothing i have ever been to before was like that. i was rather pleased to be there to celebrate with other people. 88 years younger was lexie pallett, here with the scotty's little soldiers charity to remember her father. there's so many emotions. there's pride, obviously there's sadness, — that's why we're here — but it's mostly pride and honour to know you are 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.

daniela relph, bbc news, the cenotaph. the national service of remembrance. the latest cop climate conference, cop29, begins in a few hours in baku, in azerbaijan. these huge un summits are when the world comes together to try to agree how to tackle climate change. virtually every country will be represented. this year is projected to be the first when average temperatures pass the symbolic threshold of 1.5 celsius higher than before the industrial revolution, and the age of greenhouse gases. 0ur climate editor, justin rowlatt, is in baku. 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. meanwhile, the bbc has reviewed footage which appears to show the executive of the azerbaijani c0 p29 discussing oil and azerbaijani cop29 discussing oil and gas deals. 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, 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. justin rowlatt, bbc news, baku. raye has been announced as the winner of best uk and ireland act at the mtv europe music awards, which have been taking place this evening in a star—studded ceremony in manchester.

raye said she was "actually quite shocked" in a video which played on screen as she was announced as the winner. the first award of the night went to best new artist, benson boone. the musician kicked off the show performing with a piano suspended mid—air over the audience. thank you guys for changing my life. i promise, iwill be giving it all back to you. thank you so much. stay with us here on bbc news.

if hello there! if finally, some brighter weather to enjoy for this week. certainly for the first half of the week it's looking sunny, but it will be cool at times with the clear skies, the light winds. we'll see a return to some overnight frost and fog. and then by the end of the week, certainly into next weekend, it will be turning much colder with arctic air pushing southwards across all areas. so this new area of high pressure building in from the west bringing a different air mass, it is a drier air mass, so we should start our monday, armistice day, chilly but dry with a lot of sunshine. the sunshine continues into the afternoon. a bit of cloud for northern and western scotland, perhaps a few showers peppering the east coast of england, down into east anglia with a bit more of a northerly breeze there, but light winds elsewhere, staying dry and sunny, temperatures into the low teens. pretty much where we should be for the time of year. it's a fine end to monday, we go through a dry night.

still a few showers peppering the east and southeast coast. a bit of cloud for far north of scotland, but under the clear skies it's going to turn quite cold. there will be a touch of frost, maybe some fog through central, northern and western areas. less cold when we hold on to some cloud. so, then, here's our area of high pressure. strong area of high pressure dominating the scene for tuesday. could see further showers just grazing the southeast of england through the day. so, a bit more of a breeze for the east and southeast. like i mentioned, those showers, east anglia and the southeast. most places dry. widespread sunshine once again, lighter winds further north and west, and those temperatures into the afternoon range from 10 to 13 degrees. it's going to be another chilly night for tuesday night with clear skies. 0ur area of high pressure begins to retreat a bit further westwards into wednesday. that could allow this weather front to push into northern scotland and this feature to affect the southeast. so, top and tail of the country could be a bit cloudier on wednesday, with a few spots of rain, and most of the rain should be through the channel and across into france, but it could graze east anglia and kent at times on wednesday.

have to stay tuned to the forecast. in between, a good slice of dry and sunny weather and again those temperatures into the low teens. similar sort of picture for thursday and friday. but beyond friday, we open the floodgates to an arctic northerly, and this cold air will spread south across most of the country during the course of the weekend. so we'll see variable cloud building at times as we move towards the end of the week. there will still be some sunny spells around, nights will be chilly, and then something much colder pushing in for next weekend.

this is bbc news — the headlines. president biden's national security adviser has urged donald trump not to walk away from ukraine. jake sullivan said mr biden would use his remaining time in office to make the case that kyiv should be given further support. it's reported mr trump has already spoken to vladimir putin. russia and ukraine have carried out their biggest drone attacks against each other since the start of the war. kyiv says it shot down or disabled most of the one—hundred—and—forty—five drones launched against the country. russia says thirty—four ukrainian drones were destroyed on the southern approaches to moscow. the new israeli defence minister — israel katz — has said hezbollah has been defeated. he also described the killing of the group s leader as the crowning achievement. mr katz expressed hope that an international coalition would capitalise on hezbollah�*s

defeat — and that lebanon would normalise relations with israel.
