hello and welcome. hundreds of angry farmers have protested outside the welsh labour conference. they're furious with the uk government's decision to impose a 20% inheritance tax on farm estates worth more than £1 million. that's around $1.25 million. but the prime minister says he will defend the government's budget announcements "all day long". here's damian grammaticas. on the north wales coast, the rumblings of rural protest. could this swell into a real political problem for the government? the morale, the mental health, you know, everything is at an all time low. and what do they do? they kick us again.

galvanised by the budget and the government's decision to levy inheritance tax on farms, they descended here from across wales and as far away as yorkshire today. this government has made the one decision which is destroying the morale, the mental wellbeing and the economic viability of farms. we don't work for ourselves, we work to produce food for others, for an asset which will be passed on. and in the end, the alternative is the fragmentation of the farms bought by large companies. honking. farms have long been exempt from inheritance tax. the government says only the very biggest will now pay, only at a rate that's still lower than for other property, and only a maximum of a few hundred will be affected every year. applause. addressing the welsh labour conference, the prime minister did not mention inheritance tax,

but did say he believes his tax raising budget is the right one for the country. i will defend our decisions| in the budget all day long. the consequence, he said, is that the welsh government will get more funding than ever. i will defend facing i up to the harsh light of fiscal reality. i will defend the tough - decisions that were necessary to stabilise our economy, i and i will defend protecting the payslips of working people, fixing the foundations - of our economy and investing in the future of britain - and the future of wales. out of 32 welsh parliamentary seats at the election, labour won 27. but critical voices are getting louder and seeds of protest being planted by farmers who say their ability to pass their businesses to future generations is under threat. damian grammaticas, bbc news. i spoke to one of the farmers who was protesting outside the labour conference earlier, farmer and broadcaster

gareth wynjones, whom you heard a moment ago in the report from north wales. he told me the strength of feeling among the travelling there this morning, i was unsure how many people turned up, but i would say majority of the farming communities in north wales turned up today in their tractors and their pick—ups and their lorries. we even had tyre businesses that came there to show their support. it was unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable. and itjust filled my heart with joy that we stood together in solidarity against this ridiculous new inheritance policy. you say it's ridiculous, but the government has said that there will be tough decisions that are necessary to stabilise the economy. i suppose what the prime minister and others in his government might say that is everyone has to shoulder the burden while the government tries to do what it can to get the economy back on track. so what would you say to that?

the mistake the government has done, they haven't done their maths beforehand. they say that it could affect 20% of farms, but we're looking into it now and the stats are coming out. it could be 70% of the farms. so yeah, whoever�*s in charge with the maths in the treasury needs to go back to school. another point i'm going to bring in here, and this is a very important point, labour should be protecting the poorer people in society. now, if this inheritance tax comes up, our industry is on its knees already. we will have to up our products that we sell, which is food, up 20%. who will suffer? the poorer people in society. the people that labour should be supporting and protecting. so food inflation and food shortages is just on the horizon. unless mr starmer wakes up and smells the coffee because he had an opportunity today in his speech to speak about agriculture or speak about all them welsh farmers that stood outside waiting

for him to say something. he didn't. he didn't even mention farming and agriculture in his opening speech. and he ran out of the back door, got out of the back door like a coward. he wouldn't come and face the crowd, wouldn't come and face the people that came there all over north wales, all over north wales they came to say their frustrations. they should have at least spent sent a spokesperson. three of us were very fortunate to meet the rural affairs minister. we had a positive meeting with him, but at the end of the day, it's mr starmer that is steering this ship, and he needs to steer it in the right direction before this country goes hungry. can i ask you this, gareth? did you support the labour party? did you vote for keir starmer�*s party in the last election?

i don't want to go into my personal preference of voting. you know, democracy is what it is. they've had the majority, and i live with democracy, and i abide by it. but i don't abide and live by stupid rules and regulations that's going to destroy this country. and that's what people need to realise. it's the poorer people in society that are going to suffer with food inflation and food shortages. he needs to start to listen and to stop running away like a coward. he needs to stand his ground and come and meet the people that are challenging him with facts, not fiction facts. fa cts . we are part of building this country. let's build a better britain on our bellies. and you're never going to do that without the farmers. more on that story on the bbc news website. at least ten newborn babies have died when a fire broke out in the children's ward of a government hospital in northern india. sixteen other babies are being treated for their injuries, some are in a critical condition.

local officials say the blaze in the neonatal intensive care unit of the hospital in the town othansi was possibly caused by an electrical fault in an oxygen concentrator. doctors and medical staff were seen breaking the windows of the smoke—filled ward to rescue the children, before fire crews arrived. the indian prime minister, narendra modi, has posted on x calling the deaths heart—wrenching and saying his deepest condolences are with those who have lost their children. the deputy chief minister of the state of uttar pradesh, where the hospital is, has also been addressing media. translation: according| to the latest information, the fire broke out due to a short circuit. many newborn children died. the government has ordered a high—level inquiry. after the report comes in, those found guilty this will be treated harshly. the prime minister has also offered his condolences to the bereaved families. relatives gathering outside the hospital expressed anger that information has been slow to come and that no

explanation has been given as to exactly what happened. translation: we used to hear the medical facilities _ were well—organised, well arranged here, but today no alarm went off after the short circuit. what kind of arrangement is that? there were no staff. what kind of arrangement is that? any doctor, official, senior official should come here and give us an explanation. (tx sot) earlier i spoke to our india reporter sumedha pal. the state government has announced a three—tier investigation that they are initiating to ascertain the cause of this fire. what we also know is the recent updates that have come from the ground are that ten confirmed deaths have happened. however, there are about three infants who are still being identified and whose identity is still being ascertained. so there are parents who are still distressed and are trying to find

the missing infants and are looking for their children. one of the mothers who has lost an eight—year—old, stated that she did not know the whereabouts of her child and the authorities are still trying to give them answers. so quite distressing scenes are of unfolding as far as the medical facility is concerned. the state has also announced a financial compensation package they are giving the families of the bereaved, the bereaved families £5,000 and those who have been injured are also being given financial compensation. while the state is still trying to ascertain what really caused the fire, and who is responsible for the kind of damage that has taken place. we have heard from the indian prime minister, as well, posting a message online calling the deaths heart wrenching, he offered his deepest condolences to those who lost their children in this and said, i pray to god to give

them the strength to bear this immense loss. of course, as well as condolences, there are more questions. i've lived and worked in india for a number of years, and i've reported on a number of fires that many say were caused because of a lack of fire safety regulations. now, we don't know the details in this case, but certainly there are reports that an electrical short circuit or some sort of fault could have caused the fire. definitely. and the leaders of the opposition are also raising these questions alongside the families, who want answers for this negligence. several questions, including one of the bigger questions, such as, why did the fire alarms not go off in time? and were there enough fire extinguishers? and were they being used or not used? they're the questions that the families are asking. and we know for a fact that this is the second big prominent fire that has taken

place this year. earlier in may in new delhi, a similar sort of incident had taken place where at least six babies were killed at a neonatal facility such as this one. let's take you to the eastern european country of georgia. and just weeks after elections, which opposition say were rigged, the head of the country's electoral commission has been doused with black paint, at a meeting to confirm the results. let's show you the scene. as the election commission chief prepared to confirm last month's election results, an opposition politician threw black paint on him. official election results gave a 54% majority to georgian dream, whose opponents say it wants to steer the caucasus nation away from europe and back into russia's orbit. it comes a day after protesters entered the building, calling on the region's president to resign over an investment agreement with russia. reports suggest the protesters have rejected the president's proposal to stand down and call an election in return for their departure. now it's time for a look

at today's sport. hello from the bbc sport centre. we start with tennis and the atp tour finals have reached the semifinal stage. world number one jannik sinner is on court later on saturday, taking on casper ruud in turin. while there was an epic first semifinal between american taylor fritz and the two—time champion alexander zverev. fritz rook the first set 6—3, but the german responded in kind to force a decider. fritz has just taken it on the tie break — eventually booking his place in the final 6—3, 3—6, 7—6. meanwhile, the billiejean king cup is ongoing in malaga with italy booking their place in the last four with victory overjapan. jasmine paolini played a key role in italy coming from 1—0 down. the world number four beat moyuka uchijima in straight sets to level the tie and then teamed up with sara errani to win the deciding doubles tie against shuko aoyama

and eri hozumi also in straight sets. they'll face the winners of poland or czechia in the last four. ireland's katie taylor, successfully retained her undisputed, light—welterweight title, with a contentious points win, over amanda serrano in texas. the pair served up another classic, in their rematch, but taylor repeatedly leaned in, with her head, opening up a cut on serrano's forehead in the fourth round, and she was eventually deducted a point for headbutting in the eighth, but it wasn't enough for the puerta rican, all threejudges, scoring the fight for taylor. the other event there saw youtuberjake paul, beat 58—year—old mike tyson, on a unanimus decision. tyson, the two—time former heavyweight champion, looked miles off the pace, in what was a drab contest. some fans weren't happy with what they'd seen, booing at the end.

onto rugby union's autumn internationals and england — on a four—match losing run — face double world champions, south africa later, at the allianz stadium in twickenham. the south africans swept aside scotland last time out, whereas england lost to australia. springboks skipper siya kolisi is one of 12 changes to the side that won in edinburgh. is personal. it is another man trying to run through you in a game and it doesn't get more personal than that. so every game for us is personal. this one is is a big game and we know it they've been going through and how much... because they have been in this position before. they will be learning from their own journey.

while england and the springboks meet a little later, scotland are currently in action at home to portugal. into the second half and they lead 33—7 with darcy graham becoming scotland's joint record try scorer with 29 alongisde duhan van de merve. the final match of the day sees france host new zealand at the stade de france. french club lyon will be demoted to ligue 2 at the end of the season if they do not improve their finances, they coul also be banned from signing players injanuary. lyon ownerjohn textor is also co—owner of premier league club crystal palace, and the largest shareholder of brazilian club botafogo. the dngc, the body which oversees the accounts of french professional football clubs, made the ruling on friday. lyon will also have their payroll supervised. the seven—time french champions are likely to have to sell several key players injanuary to get their accounts in orderand maintain their top—flight status. and that's all the sport for now.

thank you very much, paul. ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky says he would like to end the war with russia next year through diplomatic means. mr zelensky said kyiv should only start negotiations with moscow from a position of strength. let's hearfrom him. translation: we are a great| nation and we have to prove it. therefore, i believe that the war will end. there is no exact date, but for sure i emphasise once again what the policy of this team that will now lead the white house. the war will end faster. this is their approach. this is their promise to their society. and it is also very important for them, not only for the sake of ukraine. all of this comes as the german chancellor, olaf scholz, spoke by phone to vladmir putin for the first time in two years. mr scholz said he urged president putin to begin talks with ukraine to achieve a just peace. mr zelensky said the call undermined efforts to isolate russia. leigh turner is a former

british ambassador to ukraine. this whole war up to now has been a disaster for putin, because ukraine has defended itself far better than anybody expected, with enormous costs to russia still battling on three years after russia's full scale invasion. and all that time, putin has been hoping that the support that ukraine gets from other countries such as the us, the uk and european union countries will fall apart. that we'll start to see that united front disintegrate. and one of the elements of that united front is not to give putin credit, not to see putin as being a realistic interlocutor. you will remember that the last time shultz spoke to to putin live was just before the invasion of ukraine, when, um, president putin said to shultz, we are not going to invade ukraine. i promise we're not going to invade ukraine. so if different countries start talking to putin independently, ukraine will be very worried

that that is the beginning of a dam break that will carry away its supporters, whether that's germany, whether it's the uk, whether it's the us. in the philippines thousands of people have been urged to evacuate — as super typhoon man—yi makes landfall. authorities have warned of deadly storm surges — this is the 6th typhoon in the philippines this month. dozens of flights were cancelled as the category 5 storm headed for the eastern part of the main and largest island of luzon. man—yi hit the sparsely populated island of catanduanes with maximum wind speeds of almost two— hundred kilometres an hour. the national weather forecaster has warned of a "potentially catastrophic and life—threatening" impact from deadly storm surges. this is the sixth typhoon in the philippines this month. meteorolgist at yale climate connections jeff masters put this into context. they have already had 12 this year and they are incredibly

typhoon prone. just two days ago they had another typhoon hit almost as strong as this one so they are really getting battered in the philippines. and it is a question that i must ask at the minute as the summit is going on are any of this extreme weather part owns, you are saying more rain than usual in hunters, —— in honduras, can be related to climate change? ironically warm temperatures of the water is related to climate change. for honduras the related to climate change. for honduras th— honduras the temperatures of the ocean _ honduras the temperatures of the ocean contribute - honduras the temperatures of the ocean contribute to - honduras the temperatures of the ocean contribute to the i the ocean contribute to the heavy rains. so any pacific we have had the average number of storm so we cannot contribute it to climate change but we

have had higher ocean temperatures in other places contribute to severe weather. the spanish region of valencia is still counting the cost of last month's floods. the raging waters caused a trail of destruction, with wrecked cars piled up in massanassa and surrounding areas. many of the roads are still clogged with damaged cars. the valencia chamber of commerce estimates over 100,000 vehicles have been damaged or destroyed by the floods. 224 people died in the floods — 216 of them in valencia. researchers in the uk say that taking a "man van" offering prostate cancer checks to places like football stadiums and shopping centres could drive up detection of the disease. the study found that men at higher risk, including black men and those from deprived areas, can be more easily targeted with a mobile van than through family doctors. charlotte gallagher has the story. prostate cancer is the most common cancer in british men — one in eight will develop it — but many find out when it's too late.

enter the "man van", a scheme aimed at driving up detection rates and making screening more accessible. the mobile testing unit travels to football grounds, shopping centres and town halls across london. nurses on board carry out blood tests which can detect prostate cancer. more than 3000 men visited the man van over the course of a year. 94 prostate cancers were detected via the prostate—specific antigen test. of those, 86% were clinically significant, meaning treatment was needed to prevent the disease from progressing. currently, men over 50 can ask their gp for a blood test but it's not offered in the same way women are routinely contacted about mammograms and cervical smears. prostate cancer uk says things need to change nationally so lives can be saved. we're calling urgently on the government to help us renew and refresh these guidelines, these nhs rules,

which will allow gps to have a proactive conversation with black men over a5, with all men over 45 with a family history of prostate cancer, so, chris hoy is a really good example of that. and then, for all of the men over 50, that's how risk works, it increases with age. black men, who have double the risk of the disease, and those with a family history of prostate cancer are most at risk. the olympic cycling champion sir chris hoy, who has terminal prostate cancer, says testing needs to be expanded. i believe that the screening for men with a strong family history of prostate cancer, it should be a lot younger. so, you know, it's logical to me that why would you not just get the test a little bit earlier, catch it before you need to have any major treatment? so, it's, yeah, to me, it seems a no—brainer. the "man van" has been a success, but it's just in london. health campaigners say more

needs to be done across the uk. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. a last night the sky was filled with the beaver moon — the fourth and final supermoon of the year. a supermoon is when the moon is closest to the earth, appearing bigger and brighter than normal and there won't be another until october next year. the unusually bright and clear moon made for some impressive pictures across the uk and the rest of the world, as will vernon reports. a super sight to behold. last night's supermoon over glastonbury tor in somerset. from around the uk, stargazers sent us these magnificent pictures. known as the beaver moon, this will be the last supermoon of the year. the supermoon is just when the moon is closer to us, so its orbit is not circular. it's elliptical, so there are points in which it is closer to the earth than others. and of course, the closer it is, the larger it looks. so that's what we call a supermoon is when it's a full moon, and it happens to be very close in its orbit. the spectacular sight was also visible around the world, shining here over lebanon's war—torn capital, and in hanoi, where residents came out to see the moon dazzling

in the night sky. it's been a good year for supermoons. last month's hunter's moon was even brighter. but are we getting more of them? it's just i think a lot now is social media has made them kind of a bit more well known, so people are more aware of them that they're going on. so, they were happening all the time anyway. but same with the names for them. people are more aware of them, which is great because people look up at the night sky. and more cosmic treats could be in store this weekend. a meteor shower similar to this one seen in croatia in august, could be visible in our skies on sunday night. but moon superfans will have to wait a while. there won't be another one of these on show until october next year. will vernon, bbc news.

it's on the super moon that we and this— it's on the super moon that we and this has at —— and this half— and this has at —— and this half houn _ and this has at —— and this half hour. i— and this has at —— and this half hour. i will be back after a short— half hour. i will be back after a short break. we have had more of a wintry look to the sky as the temperatures have started to drop. there will be some snow for some northern parts of the uk in the next few days. the deep low pressure will go to scandinavia and change the wind direction towards the arctic in the uk. that colder air will begin to arrive in scotland today. from 16 degrees yesterday to 6 degrees in aberdeen today. still making double figures in england and wales. some clear skies must follow and wintry showers continuing in northern parts in scotland

and weather in northern scotland crossing the sea wetter. the winds will ease overnight in scotland and we will have clear skies in the east and north—east of england. starting frosty and a bit icy in places early on sunday morning but some sunshine here. more cloud elsewhere and showers will continue to affect scotland. wintry in the north over the hills and some wetter weather in northern ireland, heading over the sea and heading into wales and north—western england. temperatures in double figures in southernmost parts of england and wales but a lot colder further north and feeling cold, though with less strong winds in scotland. as we head into monday, milder air towards the south and longer boundary between the two and a deepening area of low pressure which is possibly bringing in colder air and snow monday night. wintry showers continuing

in northern scotland on monday and thickening cloud coming in in many areas. rain in southern england and getting wetter in northern ireland as the low pressure begins to arrive. so a cold day and temperatures are beginning to drop further across wales and the midlands. through the evening and overnight we may find some snow in northern ireland but especially in southern scotland and northern england which could get over ten centimetres of snow. will bring some disruption to the northern pennines. that snow will continue overnight and into tuesday morning then the low pressure moves away and more snow showers in northern scotland which will continue into next week in the blast of colder air will push its way south.

now on bbc news, life at 50 celsius: water crisis, south sudan: poisoned floods

i'm travelling to a place that shows the terrifying power of climate change. i'm going to visit the north of my country, where hundreds of thousands of families have lost their homes in floods. climate change driven by fossil fuel use has increased the risk of flooding across the world. climate change driven by fossil fuel use has increased the risk of flooding across the world. i've heard oil pollution in the area is making a bad situation even worse. the oil in the environment and in contact with human

beings is a silent killer. so, with this flood right now, it is a disaster. you can see the flooding waters here. look at the water, and look at the camp this side. the only thing that's supporting those people is this long water dyke to keep them dry and safe. i've managed to get rare access to the area to try to see what's really going on. this is part of unity state before the floods... ..and after.

in 2019, extreme flooding began.
