hundreds of angry farmers have protested outside the welsh labour party conference. they're furious with the uk government's decision to impose a 20% inheritance tax on farm estates worth more than a million pounds. that's around one—and—a—quarter million dollars. but the prime minister says we 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 farmers is unbelievable. 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 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. 16 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. earlier i spoke to our india reporter sumedha pal, she gave me this update. 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. let's ta ke let's take you to the scene

live over beirut. we are hearing from the health ministry in lebanon that six people were killed including three children and ii were winded in an israeli strike on a village in lebanon. that coming from the health ministry there. separately, health officials are saying that at least ten palestinians have been killed in an israeli strike on a school or sheltering displaced families in gaza city. rescuers are continuing to search for survivors in the school in the refugee camp. many people are thought to still be trapped under the rubble. israel is yet to comment on the incident. nine other people are reported to have been killed in separate israeli strikes in gaza city. we will bring you more on both of those developments in both lebanon and in gaza when we get them. lebanon and in gaza when we get them. a mass stabbing at a college campus in eastern china has left eight people dead and 17 others have been hurt. police said

a twenty—one—year—old man who'd studied at the wuxi technical college was arrested. they said he admitted carrying out the stabbings because the institute had refused to issue his diploma. he was also said to be unhappy with poor pay and long hours as an intern. ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky says he would like to end the war with russia next year through "diplomatic means" next year. 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. let's speak to our correspondent, jessica parker, who's in florida at mar—a—lago.

you're watching the incoming president donald trump as he selects his future cabinet and other government appointments. there was a lot of conversation about how a second term might impact the war in ukraine. what are you hearing where you are? yes, well, ithink are you hearing where you are? yes, well, i think donald trump has made, through the campaign, several comments that have led people to think that he could for his administration could potentially put pressure on ukraine to cede territory to russia that moscow has occupied. why do i say that? donald trump is very much questioned the amount of aid that the us has been sending to ukraine. the us has been a big backer in terms of military aid and he has talked about ending the war very quickly. he's even claimed he could end in a day

without specifying how. and if you match all that together with what is happening on the battlefield and it is ukraine of course on the back foot in the east, and so it is interesting to hear president is's remarks on this matter, telling ukrainian media, the war will end sooner with the team going to enter the white house. ukraine must do everything so this war ends next year through diplomatic means. it was not that long ago that president zelensky came to the us, met withjoe biden and donald trump is about to present with what was being described as his victory plan. we talked about trying to strengthen ukraine's hands in any future sort of diplomatic solution. at the time you did that there was a sense that the plan had fallen a little bit flat in washington, dc. but, of course, now, ithink flat in washington, dc. but, of course, now, i think his relationship with the donald trump and the conversation that they have are going to be key. there was of course a bit of mystery between donald trump

and vladimir putin, the russian president. there were reports that those two had had a phone call but that was outright denied by the kremlin. thank ou ve denied by the kremlin. thank you very much _ denied by the kremlin. thank you very much for _ denied by the kremlin. thank you very much for the - denied by the kremlin. thank i you very much for the moment. thank you very much for the moment. 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. earlier, president zelensky described the battlefield situation as �*difficult.’ let's speak to campbell craig, professor of international relations at cardiff university. welcome to the programme. we heard there from jessica parker talking about how donald trump, the president elect, thinks he can change the equation when it comes to the conflict in ukraine. what are your thoughts on his position so far? fin

on his position so far? on trump's _ on his position so far? q�*i trump's position? yes. on his position so far? q�*i trump's position? yes. well, i think he is coming in on a clear determination to get something done in ukraine. it is something he has been talking about when he was out of office and he has made it fairly clear, he can get it donein fairly clear, he can get it done in one day. that is probably not going to happen but the fact is he has got control of all of congress and he has got the supreme court on his side. he won a decisive victory and i think you can probably present to zelensky basically a fait accompli that we are going to support you strongly as long as you give up the donbas region in the far east of ukraine. and zelensky may well be able to turn to his people and say, this is the only choice that we have now. so that is probably what i would guess trump would do. we've had interesting language, haven't we? from president zelensky in the past couple of days or so. now saying he would like to end the war in russia through diplomatic means but that negotiation should only

begin when you have is in a position of strength. do you get the sense that, because of the changing dynamic in the us, he is having to change his position a bit? i he is having to change his position a bit?— he is having to change his position a bit? i would say unquestionably _ position a bit? i would say unquestionably so. - position a bit? i would say unquestionably so. i - position a bit? i would say unquestionably so. i think| position a bit? i would say - unquestionably so. i think that zelensky has read the writing on the wall. the fact that he has said we have to reach a diplomatic solution pretty much as telling us that he is willing to compromise on some things. he says that he had has to negotiate from a position of strength but that is vague. what does that actually mean? they're not going to recapture the donbas anytime soon so i think zelensky is saying is please, president trump, make me accept this deal. it is me accept this deal. it is interesting _ me accept this deal. it is interesting because - me accept this deal. it is interesting because all. me accept this deal. it is| interesting because all of me accept this deal. it is interesting because all of this comes as we were saying, just then, as the german chancellor has a phone conversation with president putin. and there have been reports that donald trump also spoke to vladimir putin. a lot more engagement with someone who's been an international pariah for the past couple of years. it is

international pariah for the past couple of years. it is the american _ past couple of years. it is the american president. - past couple of years. it is the american president. they - past couple of years. it is the i american president. they have more power than anyone else on the planet so you pretty much can get rid of that pariah talk and deal with him, i think. find and dealwith him, i think. and of course _ and dealwith him, i think. and of course i _ and dealwith him, i think. and of course i must _ and dealwith him, i think. and of course i must say _ and deal with him, i think. and of course i must say that there are many countries like india and south africa who have continued to engage with russia and with president putin. before we close this conversation, though, iwant before we close this conversation, though, i want to ask you about the situation on the ground when it comes to the wire. we are heading into a winter, very cold months. trips in the field. and we heard there from president zelensky saying it was a difficult time at the moment. what is your assessment of the military situation right now?- assessment of the military situation right now? well, it is uuite situation right now? well, it is quite clear, _ situation right now? well, it is quite clear, as _ situation right now? well, it is quite clear, as your- is quite clear, as your correspondence said, that ukraine is on the back foot. typically, throughout time, war is a slowdown in that part of the world during the winter time and i doubt that will be an exception to that. everyone including putin is waiting for the inauguration of trump in january and so i would expect not much to happen until then.

for reasons of weather as well as the situation in american politics and look forward in early 2025 or seven years, i would say. early 2025 or seven years, i would say-— early 2025 or seven years, i would sa . ., ~ i. ., , would say. thank you. professor cambell would say. thank you. professor campbell craig _ would say. thank you. professor campbell craig from _ would say. thank you. professor campbell craig from cardiff- campbell craig from cardiff university. tropical storm sara has brought severe flooding honduras in central america. the intense rainfall has also caused landslides, in parts of the country, more than 1000 hondurans have been forced to seek refuge in shelters. the us national hurricane center forecast between 15 and 25 inches. that's 38—63 cm of rain in northern honduras over the next few days, with up to 35 inches that's 38—63 cm of rain in northern honduras over the next few days, with up to 35 inches inundating isolated areas. meanwhile 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 sixth typhoon in the philippines this month. meteorologist at yale climate connections jeff masters put this into context.

honduras is a very mountainous nation and some of these higher terrains are going to see some pretty bad flash flooding especially where deforestation has occurred. without it covering the soil you get very bad flash flood so there is going to be a lot of bridges washed out, a lot of roads cut and a lot of people we are not going to hearfrom and a lot of people we are not going to hear from for and a lot of people we are not going to hearfrom for a long time before we know the full extent of this catastrophe. let's turn to what is happening in the philippines. six typhoons already this month, i was just saying then. i typhoons already this month, i was just saying then.— was 'ust saying then. i mean, that wasjust saying then. i mean, that is remarkable. _ wasjust saying then. i mean, that is remarkable. yeah, - wasjust saying then. i mean, that is remarkable. yeah, i i that is remarkable. yeah, i mean, usually, the whole year, the philippines is the most typhoon part of the world. they get about seven per year. they've already had 12 this year including an unprecedented pummelling for the month of november. just two days ago they had another one—hit and strong as this one so they're really getting battered in the philippines. find really getting battered in the philippines-_ philippines. and it is a question _ philippines. and it is a question that - philippines. and it is a question that i - philippines. and it is a question that i must i philippines. and it is a i question that i must ask philippines. and it is a - question that i must ask given that the kop summit is going on. are any of these

unseasonable weather patterns or these extreme weathers, more rain than example for in honduras, a number of typhoons in this month alone, does science connect this to climate change? science connect this to climate chance? ., , science connect this to climate chance? . , ., change? certainly, the warm ocean temperatures - change? certainly, the warm ocean temperatures we - change? certainly, the warm ocean temperatures we are i ocean temperatures we are experiencing is partly due to climate change. for instance, foreignjurors, you know, the temperatures were made about 500 times more likely because of climate change. that does contribute to the heavy rain so overin contribute to the heavy rain so over in the pacific we have had an average number of storms this year so we cannot blame the number of storms on climate change but again, the ocean temperatures are unusually warm so the extra one contributing to heavy rainfall. 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, 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. matt christie is a boxing journalist, he told me how this fight came to be. it was jake paul's idea about two years ago. he is kind of taken the social media world by storm and, to start off with, he was regarded as something of an intruder in the world of boxing but he took it seriously. he's always been very astute with making money.

and frankly, mike tyson is the most famous boxer who is still around and when i say still around and when i say still around i mean alive and just about alive. last night. so it was purely a cynical moneymaking exercise and i've watched an awful lot of fights over the years and enough a lot of fights this year. that is by some distance the most unedifying fight that i've seen. �* , ., , unedifying fight that i've seen. �* , , unedifying fight that i've seen. ~ , , , seen. and this was being billed as a big comeback— seen. and this was being billed as a big comeback for- seen. and this was being billed as a big comeback for mike - as a big comeback for mike tyson. a controversialfigure, as we have outlined in our introduction there. you think now this was perhaps a mistake for him? ~ , , for him? well, it depends, doesnt for him? well, it depends, doesn't it? _ for him? well, it depends, doesn't it? i— for him? well, it depends, doesn't it? i think - for him? well, it depends, doesn't it? i think the - for him? well, it depends, doesn't it? i think the fact | doesn't it? i think the fact that he has had his bank accounts enhanced to the tune of $20 million, we are told. he will say it was probably a gamble that was worth taking. what we don't know, at the age of 58, is what state has been risen. i think this is the thing that bothers me the most about this kind of thing. i still can't understand how on

earth the texas commission can justify giving a licence to a 58—year—old man. in order to test the brain and to work out whether or not a fighter respect there is only so many certain tests that they can do. they cannot, for example, work out whether there is the onset of brain damage. the only time you can test for that kind of thing is unfortunately when that brain is no longer connected to a living person. so was it a mistake? probably not a mistake. but whether he will thank himself for it in ten years' time is another question. ten years' time is another question-— ten years' time is another cuestion. , ., , ., question. some survivors of sexual violence _ question. some survivors of sexual violence might - question. some survivors of sexual violence might say . question. some survivors of i sexual violence might say that mike tyson's had convictions for rape, assault and cocaine possession. as we have been saying. but he still been able to make this comeback in the first place. to make this comeback in the first place-— to make this comeback in the first place. yes. and that as a whole other _ first place. yes. and that as a whole other conversation, - first place. yes. and that as a l whole other conversation, isn't it? i mean, yeah, he is a convicted rapist and we have seen convicted rapists and

other walks of life, most certainly not go from strength to strength in terms of their persona and moneymaking ability. so i think that is another question. that is a whole other subject. find another question. that is a whole other subject. whole other sub'ect. and 'ust very briefly. h whole other subject. and 'ust very briefly, jake i whole other subject. and 'ust very briefly, jake paul, h whole other subject. and just very briefly, jake paul, he . whole other subject. and just very briefly, jake paul, he is| very briefly, jake paul, he is very briefly, jake paul, he is very popular and he came out as the winner. he very popular and he came out as the winner-— the winner. he did come out as the winner. he did come out as the winner- _ the winner. he did come out as the winner. like _ the winner. he did come out as the winner. like i— the winner. he did come out as the winner. like i said - the winner. he did come out as the winner. like i said at - the winner. he did come out as the winner. like i said at the i the winner. like i said at the start, people thought that he was kind of making a mockery of boxing but in fairness to him he has dedicated the best part of the last five years to the sport. it is never going to be a world champion. is never going to be a world leader but as we saw last night, he is a 58—year—old peter and he did it with you without any trouble at all and frankly, that is what we are expected within the boxing world but it was build up boxing world but it was build up into this ludicrous kind of almost like pantomime, wasn't it? �* , almost like pantomime, wasn't it? �*, , almost like pantomime, wasn't it? a , almost like pantomime, wasn't it? , it? let's bring you these pictures _ it? let's bring you these pictures that _ it? let's bring you these pictures that have - it? let's bring you these pictures that have just i it? let's bring you these - pictures that have just coming to us from gaza. health officials there say that at

least ten palestinians have been killed in an israeli strike on a school which was sheltering displaced families in gaza city. as you can see there, rescuers are continuing to search for survivors at the school. many people are thought to be trapped under the rubble. we will have more on that throughout the evening. do stay with us here on bbc news. all that is changing. is going to be getting colder over the week ahead. for all of us. and that means frosts more widely in the northern parts of the uk, the risks of some snow and some ice. it is all because this deep area of low pressure is moving away into scandinavia and following on from that the winter coming down from the north, the arctic, pushing down to the uk. those colder winter have arrived already in scotland. the winter easing overnight but we will see more wintry showers over the hills in the north of the country.

some clear spells elsewhere as that cloud and rain clears away from southern parts of england and wales. still a few showers, too. where we have a lighter winds and clearer skies in eastern scotland and north—east england there will be a frost. temperatures as low as —3 but it should start bright and sunny here. it won't be as windy in scotland as it has been today but we will see showers developing again, there will be wintry over the hills in the north. probably building across other parts of the uk. most of the rain affecting northern ireland, moving into wales in the north west of england. temperature—wise, probably a couple of degrees lower than today. quite a significant and noticeable change for the midlands in particular. still got double—figure temperatures in the far south—west, in that milder air mass, but it is colder air elsewhere and along the boundary between those two you get a weather front and this deepening area of low pressure. that is going to run into the colder air and been the risk of snow later on monday and monday night but, during the day, more wintry

showers continue across northern scotland. cloud continuing to build elsewhere, bringing outbreaks of rain, wetter weather arriving in northern ireland is that area of low pressure approaches and bumps into that colder air. so as we head into monday evening we are going to find the rain to snow some parts of northern ireland but more especially overnight into southern scotland and northern england. this is where we've got the greater risk of disruption. there is a gather weather warning at the moment but more especially overnight into southern scotland and northern england. this is where we've got the greater risk of disruption. there is a gather weather warning at the moment with the heavier snow over the pressure then moves away. but we are left with northerly wind right into next week, bringing cold air and some more wintry

showers.

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. our 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. on 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. several of donald trump s nominees for key posts in his future government, are facing heavy scrutiny, including claims of misconduct. police have revealed that his choice for defence secretary, fox news host pete hegseth, had been investigated for an alleged sexual assault in 2017.

he was never arrested and denies wrongdoing. cbs news reports that pete hegseth was once flagged as a potential "insider threat" by fellow military personnel. a former member of the minnesota national guard, he has a tattoo on his bicep whichis associated with white supremacy. mr hegseth has denied any connection to extremist groups. meanwhile, the man picked to be donald trump's attorney general — matt gaetz — was the subject of an ongoing ethics investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct, illicit drug use and misuse of campaign funds. and mr trump's nominee for health secretary robert f kenneder, is facing severe criticism for his vaccine scepticism. meanwhile donald trump's pick for us ambassador to israel mike huckabee — said in 2017 "there was no such thing as a settlement" describing them as "communities." trump has named his election campaign spokeswoman, 27—year—old karoline leavitt , as his white house press secretary. north dakota governor doug burgum will lead the interior department,

an agency whose portfolio includes both on—shore and off—shore drilling. let's speak to rina shah, political strategist & commentator. welcome to the programme, quite a lot to chew on, some of them might be considered controversial appointments but to start with these appointments will make his base, people who voted him into office, extremely happy, won't they? office, extremely happy, won't the ? �* ., office, extremely happy, won't the? .,, they? all of washington is abuzz this _ they? all of washington is abuzz this week _ they? all of washington is abuzz this week with - they? all of washington is abuzz this week with our l they? all of washington is - abuzz this week with our quick these appointments have announced and with rapid fire, we have seen a lot of critics emerge over each one of these appointments, it seems almost no one is immune from scrutiny which is a good thing because any representative democracy like ours, we tend to really a great interest in who is going to be at the helm of our federal government and with the executive branch it is a bit different as these come in immediately and only from the president elect, trump, but what will happen is a

legislative branch will do the checking and by that i'm in senate confirmation hearings. the chamber, the us senate, will see each one of these appointments to be head to federal agencies are cabinet picks, appearing in front of the senators and of course must face tough questions, being grilled about controversial statements in their past and also about their outlook and how they would head each one of these agencies so a lot happening here this week but the one takeaway i've had is how many people on the left are saying that many of these controversial pics of president elect trumps are being stain washed when in reality they are quite extreme figures we are looking at. i quite extreme figures we are looking at— quite extreme figures we are looking at. i have never heard that phrase. _ looking at. i have never heard that phrase, sane-washed. ii that phrase, sane—washed. i covered many of the first years of president trump's first years in office and some of the

pics he had were deemed controversial including i think betsy vos, education at the time, some questions around her but in the end these people got through because the republicans control the chamber. right, so republicans now have control of both the house and senate. due to the selection, what they are saying is they have a mandate and that is what trump and his team are moving forward with the sense they want to do things differently than last time which is why these pics are so bombastic because a lot of these people have had nothing to do with the first term and these are people coming from the private sector and they are, in general, seen as people who would be highly disruptive. the three i find to be highly controversial are hegseth for defence, gaetz for

justice and rfkjrfor hegseth for defence, gaetz for justice and rfkjr for health. these will face the biggest challenges and whether they will be confirmed i am not sure, the senators will bring up sure, the senators will bring up a lot of what the american public is talking about right now, that all three of these men bring with them tremendous amounts of baggage and outlooks that are very unusual to head these agencies. unusual outlooks, but we knew for example about the stance of rfk jr on vaccines long before and i come back to the original question that donald trump won this election with a huge mandate, so i tied the washington bubble do you think the same conversations are happening especially amongst the pockets that really voted for him emphatically? in the pockets that really voted for him emphatically? in terms of democrats _ for him emphatically? in terms of democrats accusing - for him emphatically? in terms of democrats accusing both - of democrats accusing both republicans and other democrats of sane washing these candidates, that a sort of inside baseball because what we

see in washington is business as usual, continued on for the past four years and what the american people in large did by voting for trump i think there was a very silent vote out there and i think people essentially will never share that they voted for the president elect because what they want is disruption, they want a sense that things will change, that their lives will get better and when it comes to robert f kennedyjunior, it is a difficult one for me personally because i am the daughter of a polio survivor. my daughter of a polio survivor. my late father past six years ago and i believe he would have been alive today likely had he not been suffering from post polio syndrome which is a horrific and developed daytime syndrome that impacts all parts of the body and had he had access to the polio vaccine as access to the polio vaccine as a young child in uganda, maybe he would have lived far longer and so what i want people to understand is that

controversial statements about vaccines are notjust vaccines are not just statements, vaccines are notjust statements, if robert f kennedy junior does not even ban any vaccines but keeps putting out this messaging about informed consent, people having agency to choose whether or not they take certain vaccines, that is incredibly dangerous for a public and that is why so many americans are waking up and starting to say, we need to be critical of those who lead us. just on that point and of course thank you for sharing your very personal story about your very personal story about your father, your very personal story about yourfather, we your very personal story about your father, we are very sorry for your loss, just on that point, are there any safeguards in place to ensure that misinformation is checked properly in government, that the wrong factor not put their particularly when it comes things like vaccines which can be very controversial things and people can push out a lot of misinformation which we saw during covid times but what safeguarding if any will be in

place? it safeguarding if any will be in lace? , , w safeguarding if any will be in lace? , , ' . ., place? it is very difficult to know what _ place? it is very difficult to know what safeguards - place? it is very difficult to l know what safeguards could exist in terms of how the messaging gets propagated. there are no checks on an agency and when an agency head speaks, it is not to be a place from knowledge informed by experts —— it has got to be from a place of knowledge informed by experts but now you have someone saying experts are wrong. as a mother of young children, i've trusted the experts as i have given vaccines to my own children so they can be safe in classrooms, move about society and so many of us have benefited and thrived in our lives because of these vaccines being safe, accessible and the efficacy has been challenged and there are links to autism but in terms of hard congressional procedure or any kind of rules or laws on the books that can allow for a check on an agency head, they simply do not exist and going

one step further, because i have studied public health, at the masters, it is simply the messaging that becomes problematic and that is why i think this pic of robert f kennedyjunior, while i agree with a lot of his stance on making america healthy again, getting preservatives, additives, harmful chemicals out of our food, i love some of that but i do think he deserves all the criticism he's getting in regards to vaccine because he is simply wrong, our experts have led us to a good place where our society is healthy because of these vaccines and again, telling people they can chooseis again, telling people they can choose is just not good public health messaging always. choose isjust not good public health messaging always. always aood to health messaging always. always good to talk _ health messaging always. always good to talk to _ health messaging always. always good to talk to you, _ health messaging always. always good to talk to you, thank- health messaging always. always good to talk to you, thank you i good to talk to you, thank you very much for sharing your thoughts on donald trump's pics so far. mr; thoughts on donald trump's pics sofar. y, thoughts on donald trump's pics sofar. g , ., ~ thoughts on donald trump's pics sofar. g, ., researchers 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 gps. 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. 90 for prostate cancers were detected via the prostate specific antigen test. of those, 86% were clinically significant, meaning treatment —— 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 other 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 notjust 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. this year's bbc children in need has raised more than £39 million, with almost £9million coming from presenter paddy mcguinness's five—day cycling challenge the annual live show took place last night in salford, and our culture reporter, noor nanji, was watching. live from soho... —— live from salford... this is children in need 202a. this year's children in need live programme got

started with a bang with a special performance from the strictly come dancing professionals joined by none other than tv sensation bluey. ncuti gatwa was back as the doctor, introducing a world exclusive preview from the upcoming doctor who christmas special. i'm going to bring you christmas in november. this week, paddy mcguinness has been on an epic cycle ride, riding almost 300 miles from wales to scotland, all on a children's bike. 8,850,000. there was a special performance by the children in need choir, featuring kids who have themselves been supported by the charity. it was a big night for girls aloud too. they've released a new version of their single i'll stand by you for the charity, with the lead

vocals sung entirely by their late band—mate sarah harding. behind all the fun and games, there's an important message. children need is the bbc�*s charity for disadvantaged young people, with the money raised going a long way to helping families across the uk. this year's children in need appeal has raised more than £39 million for good causes, with the final total likely to rise further. hopefully you had a chance to look up at the sky last night and take in the dazzling 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. 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. as luck would have it, i missed that super moon but not one until next october.— until next october. that is it from me _ until next october. that is it from me this _ until next october. that is it from me this afternoon, i until next october. that is it i from me this afternoon, more on the bbc news website. hello again. up to now it's been a very mild november, but all that is changing. it's going to be getting colder over the week ahead for all of us. and that means frosts more widely. and for northern parts of the uk in particular, the risk of some snow and some ice. and it's all because of this deep area of low pressure, is moving away into scandinavia. and following on from that, the winds are coming down from the north, from the arctic, pushing down into the uk.

and those colder winds have arrived already in scotland. the winds are easing overnight, but we'll see more wintry showers over the hills in the north of the country. some clear spells elsewhere as that cloud and rain clears away from southern parts of england and wales will still be a few showers to where we have the lighter winds and clearer skies. in eastern scotland and north east england there'll be a frost. temperatures could be as low as minus three celsius, but it should start bright and sunny here. it won't be as windy in scotland as it's been today, but we'll see showers developing and again there'll be wintry over the hills in the north. cloud, probably building across other parts of the uk. most of the rain affecting northern ireland moving into wales and the northwest of england. temperature wise, probably going to be a couple of degrees lower than today. quite a significant and noticeable change for the midlands in particular. we've still got double figure temperatures, though,

in the far southwest in that milder air mass. but it's colder air elsewhere. and along the boundary between those two, you get a weather front. and this deepening area of low pressure that's going to run into the colder air and bring the risk of snow later on monday and monday night. but during the day, more wintry showers continuing across northern scotland, cloud tending to build elsewhere, bringing with it some outbreaks of rain, wetter weather arriving in northern ireland as that area of low pressure approaches and it bumps into that colder air. so as we head into monday evening, we're going to find the rain turning to snow across some parts of northern ireland, but more especially overnight, into southern scotland and northern england. this is where we've got the greater risk of disruption. there is a yellow weather warning at the moment with the heavier snow over the hills. of course, we've also got that snow across the far north of scotland. snow in northern england, southern scotland could continue into tuesday morning before that. low pressure then moves away. but we're still left with this northerly wind well into next week, bringing colderair and some more wintry showers.
