been urged to evacuate, as super typhoon man—yi makes landfall. authorities have warned of deadly storm surges — this is the sixth typhoon in the philippines this month. let's speak to jeff masters now who is a meteorologist at yale climate connections. let's look at what is happening in honduras. is this seasonal weather or is it something unexpected? we weather or is it something unexpected?— weather or is it something unexpected? weather or is it something unexected? . , , ., unexpected? we are pretty near the end of— unexpected? we are pretty near the end of the _ unexpected? we are pretty near the end of the year— unexpected? we are pretty near the end of the year and - unexpected? we are pretty near the end of the year and the - the end of the year and the hurricane season normally only lance for a couple of weeks and we are seeing up to 31 inches of rain in some locations. —— lasts for a couple of weeks. these are higher than anticipated levels of rain so what are we expecting in the coming days as well? it what are we expecting in the

we can't blame the number of storms in the pacific on climate change but the ocean temperatures are unusually warm so that extra warmth is contributing to an unusually heavy rainfall.— contributing to an unusually heavy rainfall. thank you very much for _ heavy rainfall. thank you very much for talking _ heavy rainfall. thank you very much for talking to _ heavy rainfall. thank you very much for talking to us. - heavy rainfall. thank you very much for talking to us. that l much for talking to us. that was jeff masters from jail. —— from yale. as the uk government says it will "smash the gangs" that bring people across the english channel in small boats, the latest annual figures from the home office show that people from afghanistan are more likely than any other nationality to try to get to the uk by that route. theirjourney takes them through iran and turkey, then up through mainland europe into germany and france, before they head for the uk. 0ur south asia correspondent yogita limaye reports on the factors pushing some to leave their homeland and head west. in afghanistan run by the taliban, a third of the people are struggling to eat. women live under brutal restrictions and those who worked for the former military fear for their safety. it's why afghans are

among the biggest groups fleeing their homes, going to the uk and other parts of the world. this former military officer is risking his life to speak to us. he's tried three times to make the perilous journey out of afghanistan. translation: |'u| keep trying to flee, even if i lose my life. 0ur circumstances are such that we are dying every moment. we drove through kabul to get to where the officer started his journey. it's from this bus stop in kabul that many of the people we've spoken to have told us that they've taken buses to the western border with iran, where they've met up with people smugglers. and from there on, at each point they're passed from one people smuggler to another as they try to make their way from iran to turkey, and eventually to europe. this is one of the main routes out of the country. afghans waiting to slip into iran on foot. a crossing that's become particularly dangerous. a month ago, iran was accused of indiscriminately

shooting afghan migrants. this video of the injured and dead, verified by the bbc. if they make it through iran, migrants must cross this border wall into turkey. a smuggler puts a ladder against the iranian side, cuts the razor wire to make a path. many break their limbs, making thejump. and this is video from last winter. "run, run," the smuggler shouts. "don't be scared." that people are willing to endure this is testament to how desperate they are to flee. 0n the other side of the wall, these afghans are pleading for help, allegedly beaten by turkish forces. turkey has not responded to the allegations. the video can't be independently verified

by the bbc, sent to us by an afghan smuggler in iran — who we found after weeks of digging through their networks. you're endangering the lives of afghans, taking thousands of dollars from them, engaging in this criminal activity. how do you justify that? translation: we don't force people to take these risks. . we tell them they could be killed or imprisoned. what are we supposed to do when people tell us their family is going hungry in afghanistan? the uk is one of the main destinations that afghans want to reach, seen to offer more work opportunities than most countries in europe. and by the time afghan migrants get to this final leg, the risk of crossing the channel feels like nothing compared to what they've endured. in liverpool, we met an asylum seeker who arrived in a small boat six months ago. a former government employee, she protested against the taliban. she could be eligible for one of the uk's resettlement schemes, but the safe legal

routes have simply been too slow, which means she's had to undertake a traumatic journey. translation: | come - from a well known family. i've never done anything illegal, but i was afraid i would be detained and tortured in afghanistan. a difficult decision to come a world away from everything she knows, because home can't provide the most basic of human needs — safety, food, freedom. it was billed as a fighting comeback for the former world heavyweight chamption mike tyson, but in the end his much—hyped fight against the social media influencer turned—boxer jake paul has ended in

victory for the 27—year—old. the bout, which was held in texas, saw 58—year—old tyson come out of retirement for his first fight since 2005. mike tyson has convictions for rape, assault and cocaine possession. friday's fight was staged over eight two—minute rounds. and it became clear near the start that tyson was struggling to stay with the pace. neither boxer looked like securing a win by knockout. when the scorecards were annouced, jake paul was a comfortable winner. after the fight, he said he was honoured to have been in the ring with one of the greatest ever boxers. tyson said he knew his opponent was a good fighter, and that the only person he had to prove anything to was himself. let's speak to matt christie, who is a boxing journalist. welcome to bbc news. this was a much hyped fight and they got a lot of money to take part in it so before we get into it, just tell us how it came about. it

tell us how it came about. tit wasjake paul's idea, and about was jake paul's idea, and about two years ago, we know that jake paul has taken the social media world by storm and to start with he was regarded as something of an intruder in the world of boxing but he took it seriously but he has always been astute with making money and frankly mike tyson is the most famous boxer who is still around, meaning alive, he is just about alive last night so it was purely a cynical moneymaking exercise. i have watched many fights over the years and many fights this year and that is by some distance the most unedifying fight i have seen.— have seen. this was being billed as _ have seen. this was being billed as a _ have seen. this was being billed as a big _ have seen. this was being billed as a big comeback. have seen. this was being i billed as a big comeback for mike tyson, a controversial figure, as we've outlined in our introduction there. do you now think this was perhaps a mistake for him?— mistake for him? well, it depends. _ mistake for him? well, it depends, doesn't - mistake for him? well, it depends, doesn't it? - mistake for him? well, it depends, doesn't it? i. mistake for him? well, it i depends, doesn't it? i think the fact he has had his bank account enhanced to the tune of

$20 million, we are told, you will say it was probably a gamble that was worth taking. what we don't know, at the age of 58, is what state his rain was in and i think this is what bothers me the most about this kind of thing, i still don't understand how on earth the texas commission can justify giving a licence to a 58—year—old man in order to test a rain and to work out whether or not a fighter is fit, there are only so many tests they can do, for example, they cannot work out whether there is the onset of rain damage. the only time you can test for that kind of thing is unfortunately when that rain is no longer connected to a living person, so was it a mistake? probably not a mistake, whether he will thank himself for it is another question. some survivors of sexual violence might say that mike

tyson has had convictions for rape, assault and cocaine possession, as we have said, but he has still been able to make this comeback in the first place. —— brain damage. that make this comeback in the first place. -- brain damage. that is a whole other— place. -- brain damage. that is a whole other conversation, - a whole other conversation, yes, he is a convicted rapist and we have seen convicted rapists in other walks of life not go from strength to strength in terms of their moneymaking ability and their persona so i think that is a whole other question. find whole other question. and briefl , whole other question. and briefly. jake _ whole other question. and briefly, jake paul- whole other question. and briefly, jake paul is - whole other question. and briefly, jake paul is very . briefly, jake paul is very popular and came out as the winner. . ., ., popular and came out as the winner. _, ., ., , winner. he did come out as the winner. he did come out as the winner and _ winner. he did come out as the winner and as _ winner. he did come out as the winner and as i _ winner. he did come out as the winner and as i said _ winner. he did come out as the winner and as i said at - winner. he did come out as the winner and as i said at the - winner and as i said at the start, people thought he was making a mockery of boxing but in fairness to him, he has dedicated the best part of the last five years to sport. you will never be a world champion, he will never be a world beater, but as we saw last night he is a 58—year—old and he did it really without any trouble at all and that is what

we are all expected in the boxing world but it was built up boxing world but it was built up into this ludicrous almost kind of pantomime, wasn't it? ok, always good to talk to you, 0k, always good to talk to you, thank you for sharing your insight on that story. now on bbc news, newswatch. the role of the religion editor on bbc news. welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. coming up — how should bbc news cover stories of religion, like this week's resignation of the archbishop of canterbury? and was gary lineker�*s departure from match of the day a suitable topic for extensive coverage on news and even political programmes? one of the most consequential changes in british law could be decided on in the next few months. a bill to legalise assisted a bill to legalise assisted
