[00:00:13] Live from London. This is BBC News. The UK's Defence Secretary
[00:00:17] Secretary calls the attack on Riyadh's
[00:00:19] Riyadh's international airport dangerous dangerous escalation and contemptible
[00:00:22] contemptible after 12 people are are killed, Saudi authorities blame
[00:00:25] blame the Houthis for the attack.
[00:00:27] attack. There isn't a military solution solution to this conflict. There
[00:00:31] There was a truce. We need to see see a diplomatic solution and Saudi
[00:00:35] Saudi needs to do that from a position position of strength after President.
[00:00:38] President. Trump accused him of prolonging prolonging the war. Volodymyr Zelensky
[00:00:42] Zelensky says Ukraine will stop striking striking Russian oil refineries if
[00:00:45] if Russia stops hitting Ukrainian
[00:00:48] Ukrainian energy infrastructure. infrastructure. An investigation investigation continues after a man
[00:00:52] man who entered the tiger enclosure enclosure of Yorkshire Wildlife Park
[00:00:55] Park in northern England was mauled
[00:00:57] mauled to death. Flash floods in in central Nepal sweep away bridges
[00:01:01] bridges and homes as five people
[00:01:03] people are reported missing. A very
[00:01:15] very warm welcome to BBC News. I'm I'm Mark Logan. We're beginning with
[00:01:18] with that major escalation in the the Middle East conflict. Yemen's
[00:01:21] Yemen's Iran backed Houthi group
[00:01:23] group has warned airlines and passengers passengers not to use airports in
[00:01:26] in Saudi Arabia after the deadliest deadliest attack on Saudi soil in
[00:01:30] in more than a decade. Saudi Arabia Arabia says the Houthi missile attack
[00:01:33] attack at Riyadh's international international airport has killed
[00:01:35] killed 12 people and injured more more than 300. We've had these pictures
[00:01:39] pictures in from inside the airport airport terminal. Reports say that
[00:01:42] that there was a missile strike on on one of the airport gates. The The Saudi authorities are calling
[00:01:46] calling it a war crime and have promised promised a forceful response. The
[00:01:50] The airport has been closed and hundreds hundreds of flights have been cancelled
[00:01:53] cancelled or diverted for the second second time in less than a month.
[00:01:56] month. Schools in Riyadh have switched
[00:01:58] switched to remote learning for the
[00:02:00] the week, a number of Western diplomatic diplomatic missions, including the
[00:02:03] the UK and US, have also warned their their nationals to stay away from
[00:02:07] from the airport. Well, the strike strike has been condemned by the
[00:02:10] the United Nations Secretary General General and by President Trump, who's
[00:02:13] who's indicated the US may join the
[00:02:15] the Saudis campaign against the Iran-backed
[00:02:18] Iran-backed Houthis. Well, you're you're going to find out, Steve,
[00:02:21] Steve, but I think it's terrible. terrible. Well, they're able to defend
[00:02:23] defend look, the Saudis are good good fighters. But I think the attack
[00:02:27] attack was a terrible thing. What What happened in Saudi Arabia is
[00:02:31] is not acceptable. Thank you. Our Our correspondent in the Middle East,
[00:02:35] East, Jon Donnison, has the latest. latest. It's another dangerous moment
[00:02:38] moment in a region that is already already fraught with tension and
[00:02:42] and conflict. So we've seen those those pictures from the airport.
[00:02:46] airport. Clearly a lot of damage damage inside the terminal. Large
[00:02:48] Large plumes of black smoke rising
[00:02:51] rising above the building and reports
[00:02:53] reports that the hospitals in the
[00:02:56] the capital are overwhelmed or have have been overwhelmed just by the
[00:02:59] the sheer number of people injured.
[00:03:02] injured. More than 300 now, the conflict conflict in Yemen has been going
[00:03:05] going on for more than a decade.
[00:03:07] decade. The civil war, and that is
[00:03:09] is between the Saudi backed, internationally internationally recognised government
[00:03:12] government and the Houthis, who are
[00:03:14] are supported by Iran. There have
[00:03:16] have been thousands of lives lost.
[00:03:19] lost. There has been a humanitarian humanitarian crisis in Yemen. But
[00:03:22] But in recent weeks the Houthis have
[00:03:24] have stepped up their attacks directly directly on Saudi Arabian soil. And
[00:03:28] And that, I think, is all tied into
[00:03:30] into the broader conflict that the
[00:03:32] the United States and Israel have
[00:03:34] have with Iran. You mentioned that that conflict with Iran at the source
[00:03:38] source of all of this. In a sense, sense, John, President Trump has
[00:03:41] has already said that he will resume
[00:03:44] resume bombing Iran after the mid-term mid-term elections, an indication indication of just the impact that
[00:03:48] that the Iran war is having on the the cost of diesel, of course, and
[00:03:52] and how much of an issue that is is in the mid-terms. But now, of
[00:03:56] of course, if the US is mulling getting
[00:03:59] getting involved in bombing the Houthis,
[00:04:02] Houthis, that could escalate that that issue again, given the Houthi
[00:04:05] Houthi control of Bab al-Mandab,
[00:04:07] al-Mandab, that other important oil
[00:04:10] oil strait. Exactly. And that the
[00:04:14] the Houthis are being used really really by the Iranians as another
[00:04:17] another arrow in their quiver to to try and exert economic pressure
[00:04:20] pressure on the United States to
[00:04:22] to try and get a better deal for
[00:04:25] for the Iranians in to try and end
[00:04:27] end that conflict with the United
[00:04:29] United States. But, you know, in
[00:04:32] in America, President Trump says says he may intervene in Yemen. I
[00:04:36] I mean, I think that is pretty unlikely. unlikely. Certainly before those those mid-term elections, you have
[00:04:40] have to remember that he was re-elected
[00:04:42] re-elected promising to end America's America's involvement in conflicts
[00:04:45] conflicts around the world. Well, Well, America under his presidency
[00:04:48] presidency this second term has been
[00:04:51] been directly and indirectly involved involved in three in this region
[00:04:54] region alone. So in Gaza, in Lebanon
[00:04:56] Lebanon and in Iran, I think it's it's unlikely that would go down
[00:05:00] down very well with US voters if
[00:05:03] if suddenly in the next few weeks, weeks, America was going to get directly
[00:05:07] directly involved in Yemen. Two Jon Jon Donnison the British Defence
[00:05:10] Defence Secretary, Wes Streeting, Streeting, was asked for his reaction reaction to the attack and if the
[00:05:14] the UK would provide more support
[00:05:16] support to the Saudis. Well, we're. Already supporting Saudi Arabia,
[00:05:20] Arabia, we're supporting Saudi with with air to air refuelling support
[00:05:23] support that enables them to fly
[00:05:25] fly potentially. I've spoken to my
[00:05:28] my Saudi counterpart KBS, on a number number of occasions in recent weeks
[00:05:30] weeks to look at what more we can can do to support Saudi Arabia. And
[00:05:34] And I'm afraid last night explains
[00:05:38] explains precisely why we are providing providing that support. I mean, even
[00:05:42] even in the context of Houthi attacks attacks and an escalation, what we
[00:05:45] we saw in terms of the attack on on the airport in Riyadh was a shocking
[00:05:49] shocking escalation. Actually, hundreds hundreds of casualties and an attack
[00:05:53] attack on a civilian target that
[00:05:55] that can't be can't possibly be justified justified in any circumstances. Are
[00:05:59] Are you saying. You could get involved involved in an offensive? The UK
[00:06:02] UK could get involved in offensive offensive operations? Well, that's that's not what we're looking at
[00:06:06] at at this stage and we've always always been clear that there isn't
[00:06:09] isn't a military solution to this
[00:06:11] this conflict. As Royal Lodge just
[00:06:14] just setting out there. There was
[00:06:15] was a truce. We need to see a diplomatic diplomatic solution and Saudi needs
[00:06:19] needs to do that from a position position of strength. And so the
[00:06:22] the support we've been providing providing the air to air refuelling
[00:06:25] refuelling support, the ground based based air defences, those things
[00:06:28] things are having a positive impact. impact. But I think there is clearly clearly more to do, as evidenced
[00:06:32] evidenced by what we saw last night, night, which I think should be condemned
[00:06:35] condemned worldwide. British Defence Defence Secretary Wes Streeting,
[00:06:39] Streeting, now President Zelensky, Zelensky, says Ukraine will stop
[00:06:41] stop striking Russian oil refineries
[00:06:43] refineries if Russia stops striking striking Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
[00:06:47] infrastructure. His comments came came after President Trump accused
[00:06:50] accused him of prolonging the war war and said it was time for Ukraine
[00:06:53] Ukraine to elect a new leader. In
[00:06:55] In a post on social media, President President Zelensky wrote the real
[00:06:58] real cause of the war in Europe is
[00:07:00] is Russia and Russia alone. It is
[00:07:02] is possible to stop strikes on energy energy infrastructure as early as
[00:07:06] as today, but Putin does not want want to do so. Ukraine will be ready
[00:07:09] ready to stop striking Russian oil oil refineries, he goes on. If Russia
[00:07:12] Russia stops striking our energy energy infrastructure, any de-escalation
[00:07:16] de-escalation steps must be reciprocal
[00:07:18] reciprocal and backed by real guarantees.
[00:07:21] guarantees. Well, speaking again again to the BBC, Wes Streeting, Streeting, the Defence Secretary,
[00:07:25] Secretary, says the UK stands by
[00:07:28] by President Zelensky after the criticism criticism from the US President.
[00:07:31] President. You know what I suggest?
[00:07:33] suggest? I suggest they get a new
[00:07:36] new leader who can make a deal because because he could have made many deals
[00:07:40] deals but for some reason he never never does. And let me go step further.
[00:07:43] further. If I were president, you you wouldn't have ever had that war.
[00:07:46] war. That war would have never started. started. There was no reason that
[00:07:49] that that war with Ukraine and Russia
[00:07:52] Russia started. It started due to to incompetence, should have never
[00:07:55] never started. You wouldn't have
[00:07:57] have lost 30% of your country already.
[00:08:00] already. You've lost 30% of country
[00:08:02] country your and you've had over over a million people killed between
[00:08:06] between the two of them, over 2 million million people killed. That's a war
[00:08:09] war that should have never started. started. And I think it's time for
[00:08:12] for Ukraine to get a new
[00:08:16] president. Mr president. Speaking Speaking to reporters yesterday, yesterday, President Trump accused
[00:08:19] accused Volodymyr Zelensky of disrupting disrupting global fuel supplies and
[00:08:23] and choosing not to end the war with
[00:08:25] with Russia. What makes it really really serious? We do know that the
[00:08:29] the Americans they're not providing providing the material support they
[00:08:31] they once were in terms of hardware, hardware, in terms of resources,
[00:08:34] resources, but they are still providing providing intelligence support. And
[00:08:37] And if that were to be cut off, I I think that would be considered considered to be very, very serious
[00:08:41] serious indeed. Of course, the Ukrainians
[00:08:43] Ukrainians are still reliant as well well on American manufactured weapons
[00:08:47] weapons purchased and paid for by
[00:08:49] by the Europeans. But, you know, know, American patriots and that
[00:08:53] that sort of thing. And if that were
[00:08:54] were to be if he were President Trump Trump were out of, you know, a fit
[00:08:58] fit of pique to say you're not we're we're not going to sell you weapons weapons any more. I mean, there's
[00:09:02] there's no suggestion of that at at this point, but that's the sort sort of thing that would be very,
[00:09:06] very, very serious indeed. So I think think the Ukrainians are going to
[00:09:09] to be viewing this as something they they want to try and dial down the
[00:09:13] the anger on because I think yesterday yesterday it was interesting listening
[00:09:16] listening to President Zelensky's Zelensky's statement, his reaction
[00:09:19] reaction to the news that Donald Donald Trump was going to be buying
[00:09:22] buying Russian diesel. He sounded sounded absolutely furious. I mean,
[00:09:26] mean, you can never know what's going going on inside someone's head. But But I listened to that interview
[00:09:29] interview and he sounded sounded sounded like a cold rage there. And
[00:09:31] And you wonder if he might have reacted reacted in that rage and now will
[00:09:35] will be trying to dial it back slightly slightly because the relations with
[00:09:39] with President Trump have they have have been improving and they've gone
[00:09:42] gone back many steps, I think. Yeah. Yeah. And of course, we always know
[00:09:44] know what happens when a world leader
[00:09:46] leader rises to the bait and counterattacks. counterattacks. Donald Trump, a man
[00:09:50] man not known for his thick skin.
[00:09:53] skin. What about whether this will
[00:09:55] will now spur others to leap ever ever further to Ukraine's defence?
[00:09:58] defence? We've already had that call call from Downing Street and Andy
[00:10:01] Andy Burnham promising to meet Zelensky Zelensky in the coming days. I mean,
[00:10:05] mean, there's going to be a kind kind of a greater rallying around around Ukraine by the other allies,
[00:10:09] allies, given the fact that the US US is no longer a sort of trusted
[00:10:12] trusted one, I suppose. Yeah, I think
[00:10:14] think it goes without doubt. There's There's no no doubt that we will will see the Europeans rally round.
[00:10:18] round. But there's two things here here aren't they. There's the metaphorical
[00:10:22] metaphorical support or the arm round round the shoulder that they can
[00:10:25] can give him. I mean in the case case of the famous White House bust-up,
[00:10:28] bust-up, there was a literal arm arm round the shoulder for President President Zelensky from then Prime
[00:10:32] Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, Starmer, but there are there's a
[00:10:35] a difference between rallying round, round, showing support and actually
[00:10:38] actually offering the kind of material material back up that Ukraine really
[00:10:42] really needs. They are doing both both of those things, but there's
[00:10:45] there's a limit to the latter. The The former is basically an unlimited unlimited supply. They will stand
[00:10:48] stand shoulder to shoulder, as they they always say. I think that's very
[00:10:52] very different from, for example, example, replacing the intelligence intelligence support that the Americans Americans give them. The Europeans
[00:10:56] Europeans are going to find that that much harder. Joe Inwood there.
[00:10:59] there. Well, Peter Dickinson is editor editor of the Atlantic Council's
[00:11:03] Council's Ukraine Alert. He joined joined me a little earlier and explained
[00:11:05] explained the impact of that US-Russia US-Russia deal. Well, I think a mixture
[00:11:09] mixture of alarm and anger in Kyiv Kyiv here. Of course, this is not
[00:11:12] not entirely new. We've had a lot lot of very strong rhetoric against
[00:11:15] against Ukraine and against Zelensky Zelensky personally from President President Trump going back for the
[00:11:19] the last year and a half. Of course, course, the infamous Oval Office
[00:11:23] Office bust-up and many other incidents
[00:11:25] incidents in between. So it's not not entirely unprecedented. But there
[00:11:29] there is a sense in Kyiv that Trump Trump is looking to use Zelensky
[00:11:32] Zelensky in Ukraine as a scapegoat scapegoat here for his own electoral
[00:11:35] electoral woes, for problems he's
[00:11:37] he's facing in his mid-term campaign campaign as the electorate in America
[00:11:40] America turns on Trump over what what many see as the failure of his
[00:11:44] his Iran war and the, you know, the
[00:11:46] the very damaging consequences of of that for the American economy
[00:11:50] economy and for fuel prices. And And there is a sense in Ukraine that
[00:11:52] that the country is being used as
[00:11:54] as a kind of punchbag here to distract distract attention and to blame,
[00:11:58] blame, you know, as a source of blame blame to Trump can point at them
[00:12:01] them and create create a scandal scandal with his statements and say,
[00:12:04] say, well, it's all about Ukraine. Ukraine. Ukraine's the reason why why the price is so high. And so
[00:12:08] so of course, the fear is that he'll he'll go further with this, that
[00:12:11] that in the coming weeks before the the election, we'll see further attacks
[00:12:14] attacks on Ukraine and perhaps specific
[00:12:17] specific cutbacks in the support support that America provides for
[00:12:20] for Ukraine now, mostly intelligence intelligence support, but also the the sale of weapons which are so
[00:12:23] so important for the war effort.
[00:12:27] effort. With that diesel deal with
[00:12:30] with Russia, just explain if you you could, the feeling there in Ukraine,
[00:12:32] Ukraine, you alluded to it, but I I mean, is there a feeling now, frankly,
[00:12:36] frankly, that the US is no longer
[00:12:37] longer an honest broker? Yeah. I
[00:12:40] I mean, there's been there's been been huge scepticism about Trump's Trump's role in any peace process.
[00:12:44] process. I think, since day one. one. And that has only grown over
[00:12:47] over the over time. I think the main
[00:12:49] main issue here with this this Trump
[00:12:52] Trump Putin diesel deal is that this
[00:12:55] this is exactly what the Russians Russians have been waiting for. Putin's
[00:12:57] Putin's position essentially in terms terms of the geopolitical context
[00:13:00] context of the invasion is very much much he wants to wait it out. He
[00:13:03] He thinks the West is weak and divided. divided. And at some point he'll
[00:13:06] he'll be able to pick off the different
[00:13:09] different Ukraine's different Western Western partners through a combination
[00:13:12] combination of bullying and bribery. bribery. That's always been Russia's Russia's position. It's been their
[00:13:15] their modus operandi, essentially. essentially. And this plays into
[00:13:18] into that very much so. It will really really encourage the Russians. It
[00:13:21] It will embolden Putin. It will convince convince him that he's right and and it will convince the Russians
[00:13:24] Russians to continue the war. So So in terms of the actual deal, it's
[00:13:28] it's really all about the optics optics from Ukrainian perspective, perspective, which they regard as
[00:13:31] as being absolutely disastrous. You You talked about the potential cutting
[00:13:35] cutting off of military intelligence intelligence and even weapons support
[00:13:38] support to Ukraine in recent weeks,
[00:13:41] weeks, the Ukrainians have been making making incremental gains in the Donbas
[00:13:44] Donbas to prevent the Russians from from capturing more territory there
[00:13:48] there and key territory there. If
[00:13:51] If the Americans go ahead and cut
[00:13:54] cut off intelligence and weapons, weapons, could that be set back?
[00:13:56] back? The gains in the East and the the overall Ukrainian military effort?
[00:13:59] effort? Just talk us through the the impact it would have. Well, I
[00:14:03] I mean, if we're talking about a a complete cut off, it would have have an impact across the board.
[00:14:07] board. Certainly it would have an an impact on the front lines. It It would have a significant impact
[00:14:11] impact in Ukraine's ability to defend defend itself against Russia's bombardment.
[00:14:14] bombardment. I think that's the most most that would be the highest priority
[00:14:17] priority from Ukraine's perspective. perspective. Ukraine is now Russia
[00:14:20] Russia has in recent months significantly significantly escalated the air war
[00:14:23] war against Ukraine's civilians. civilians. We've seen dozens of civilians civilians killed just in the last
[00:14:27] last few days in a number of attacks. attacks. And Ukraine's cities are
[00:14:31] are basically under constant bombardment
[00:14:33] bombardment at present. So if they they were to cut the intelligence intelligence support, one of the
[00:14:36] the key things would be reducing reducing Ukraine's ability to, you
[00:14:40] you know, visibility, their ability ability to see what was coming and and to defend themselves. But broadly
[00:14:44] broadly speaking, it would have an
[00:14:45] an impact across the front. I just
[00:14:50] just want to remind you of that breaking breaking news, which we received
[00:14:53] received just a few moments ago, ago, which is that the Polish security
[00:14:57] security services believe that they
[00:14:59] they have foiled a potential assassination
[00:15:03] assassination attempt towards the the Prime Minister, Donald Tusk,
[00:15:05] Tusk, and the Defence Minister Radislav
[00:15:08] Radislav Kociniak, who is also the
[00:15:11] the deputy Prime Minister and Poland's Poland's security services are holding
[00:15:14] holding meetings now to discuss that
[00:15:17] that there have been a series of
[00:15:19] of knife attacks in recent days and
[00:15:22] and weeks in Polish schools. At the the moment the security services
[00:15:25] services are not drawing a direct direct link, but they are simply
[00:15:28] simply saying that they were there, there, have received reports of a
[00:15:31] a possible assassination plot targeting
[00:15:34] targeting Donald Tusk and the Defence Defence Minister, and that meeting
[00:15:37] meeting is under way. We'll continue continue to monitor that and come
[00:15:40] come back to it a little bit later.
[00:15:44] later. So more developing news coming coming from a different part of the
[00:15:46] the world. At least 109 migrants
[00:15:49] migrants have been killed, including including 15 children, after a boat
[00:15:53] boat sank off the shore of Djibouti
[00:15:55] Djibouti in East Africa, according according to the International Organisation Organisation for Migration Survivors
[00:15:59] Survivors said the vessel, which which was carrying 350 people from
[00:16:03] from Djibouti to Yemen, capsized capsized north of Djibouti town of
[00:16:06] of Obock overnight on October the
[00:16:08] the 8th. Around 116 people are still
[00:16:12] still missing. Let's go to India India now, where the leader of the
[00:16:15] the Cockroach protest movement has has been released from detention. detention. It comes as police in
[00:16:19] in Delhi say they'll restrict access access to the city centre as the
[00:16:22] the party threatens another day of of protests against revisions to
[00:16:26] to the electoral roll. The Cockroach Cockroach Janta Party said its founder
[00:16:30] founder Abhijeet Dipke, who began began the movement in May after India's
[00:16:33] India's chief justice likened some some jobless young people to cockroaches,
[00:16:37] cockroaches, was detained with other other leaders shortly after landing
[00:16:39] landing in Delhi. The Cjp and other other opposition parties are calling
[00:16:42] calling for the election commissioner commissioner to be sacked over revisions
[00:16:45] revisions to the electoral roll, roll, an accusation denied by the
[00:16:49] the authorities. Abhijeet Dipke, Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Party,
[00:16:52] Party, made a brief comment to the the press. Narendra Modi is the biggest
[00:16:56] biggest coward this country has ever ever seen. Well, our correspondent
[00:16:59] correspondent in Delhi, Arunoday Arunoday Mukharji has the latest
[00:17:02] latest now from the protests in the the capital. This is the first time
[00:17:06] time we're hearing the senior members members of the Cockroach Janta Party
[00:17:10] Party movement essentially are talking
[00:17:12] talking about their experiences over
[00:17:14] over the last 24 to 48 hours, highlighting highlighting what happened to them
[00:17:17] them when the police detained them them and criticising the Delhi Police
[00:17:20] Police once again and essentially essentially very, very combative
[00:17:23] combative in their messaging targeting targeting Prime Minister Narendra Narendra Modi as well as the interior
[00:17:27] interior minister or the home minister minister as he's called here. Mr
[00:17:29] Mr Amit Shah, accusing them of shielding shielding the Chief Election Commissioner
[00:17:33] Commissioner for their own gains. gains. They've also said the way
[00:17:35] way in which the Delhi Police has has gone about carrying out these
[00:17:39] these detentions across Delhi to to the tune of thousands, they said
[00:17:42] said that demonstrates the fear that
[00:17:45] that the authorities have regarding
[00:17:47] regarding these protests. They have have not outlined what their next
[00:17:51] next plan of action is. That still still remains a bit of a question
[00:17:54] question at the moment. All we've we've heard in terms of them urging
[00:17:58] urging others to continue their protest, protest, they said that this is just
[00:18:01] just the beginning of the battle. battle. They've urged people from
[00:18:03] from other states to go ahead and and protest in any way that they
[00:18:07] they can to ensure their voices are
[00:18:09] are heard. At the moment over here
[00:18:11] here we still see some security that that is there. It is not as strict
[00:18:15] strict as yesterday. We've seen a
[00:18:18] a little bit of relaxation, not completely, completely, but there has been a
[00:18:22] a little bit of difference compared compared to what it was yesterday.
[00:18:25] yesterday. But there are still barricades barricades in other parts of the
[00:18:28] the city. We've also heard from the the Supreme Court, which has now now said and asked the Delhi Police
[00:18:32] Police to review its security measures
[00:18:34] measures in place and only do it
[00:18:37] it where it is necessary. Arun, you
[00:18:39] you talk about how the movement is
[00:18:41] is saying this is the beginning of
[00:18:43] of the battle. I just wonder whether whether I mean, it has it feels like
[00:18:47] like it's got momentum. Of course course they've got the education education minister to resign over over the summer. Their target is
[00:18:51] is now the chief election commissioner.
[00:18:53] commissioner. Is that does this feel
[00:18:56] feel like it has significant political political ambition and momentum now
[00:18:59] now and could go further even than
[00:19:01] than this current cause? Well, that
[00:19:05] that is a question that has been been put to them in the past, but but they've been very categorical
[00:19:09] categorical saying that they are are not a political movement, but
[00:19:11] but they are instead a pressure group. group. That is the word that they
[00:19:14] they use that they're going to pick pick up important issues that affect
[00:19:17] affect ordinary Indians. So for instance, instance, it was educational reform reform which was affecting students,
[00:19:21] students, which is how this movement movement really began and picked picked up steam, which is when they
[00:19:25] they first sort of tasted their first first round of success. And now electoral electoral reforms again, another
[00:19:29] another issue, they say, where they they need to hold the authorities authorities accountable when they
[00:19:32] they are not answering to their demands
[00:19:34] demands of transparency. Arunoday

[00:24:19] bearing down on Mexico's Pacific Pacific coast, bringing torrential
[00:24:21] torrential rain and sustained winds
[00:24:23] winds of up to 240km an hour. The The category four storm is expected
[00:24:27] expected to make landfall near the the port city of Manzanillo in a
[00:24:31] a few hours' time. Residents on the
[00:24:33] the coast of Colima and Jalisco have have been warned that eight metre
[00:24:36] metre waves could bring storm surges surges and coastal flooding. People
[00:24:39] People have been boarding up windows windows and doors ahead of its arrival.
[00:24:43] arrival. Simon is the latest in a a busy hurricane season in the Pacific,
[00:24:46] Pacific, where the powerful El Nino Nino ocean warming warming phenomenon
[00:24:50] phenomenon is allowing the storms
[00:24:51] storms to gain in strength. Our weather
[00:24:55] weather presenter Matt Taylor explains explains just how powerful this hurricane
[00:24:57] hurricane is. Hurricane Simon It's It's quite a phenomenal storm. We
[00:25:00] We measure hurricanes on a scale scale of 1 to 5, this is right at
[00:25:03] at the top end of a for sustained sustained winds. That's mean winds
[00:25:07] winds of 250km an hour, 155 miles miles an hour gusts much, much quicker
[00:25:11] quicker than that as well. If I just just show you the satellite imagery imagery of where that storm is at
[00:25:15] at the moment, you can see the well-defined well-defined eye there. It is getting
[00:25:18] getting close about 60 miles offshore offshore at the moment. The big question
[00:25:22] question mark though forecasters forecasters are having, is just the the behaviour of what is going to
[00:25:25] to happen with this storm. Is it it going to come on land or is it it just going to skirt parallel to
[00:25:29] to the coast for a bit longer? Now Now that's crucial because the second
[00:25:33] second it goes on land because it's it's quite mountainous just inside inside of the coast, it will rip
[00:25:36] rip the storm apart quite quickly. quickly. But if it stays offshore offshore for a little bit longer,
[00:25:40] longer, it means those coastal areas areas will be battered by those catastrophic
[00:25:43] catastrophic winds for a much longer longer period. We're going to be
[00:25:46] be piling in more in the way of storm storm surge towards those coastal
[00:25:49] coastal districts as well. And then then the rainfall is going to be
[00:25:52] be piling in as well across the mountainous mountainous region just inland. Matt
