And And the actor Robert Pattinson tells [00:00:50] tells the BBC why he took on the the role of a journalist who helps [00:00:54] helps expose child predators in his [00:00:55] his new film Prime Time. It's both [00:00:59] both the most terrifying thing that that can happen to you, whether you're you're if you're a parent or even [00:01:03] even if you're not. It's like the. [00:01:05] the. It's like the most unimaginable [00:01:08] unimaginable sin possible. Hello [00:01:18] Hello and a very warm welcome to [00:01:20] to the programme. I'm Sally Bundock. Bundock. Ukraine is accusing Russia [00:01:24] Russia of ongoing deadly attacks [00:01:26] attacks despite a so-called energy energy ceasefire proposed by President [00:01:30] President Trump. President Zelensky Zelensky said Russia struck power [00:01:33] power plants following the announcement announcement and has continued to [00:01:36] to strike civilian areas. This footage [00:01:38] footage shows damage from an industrial [00:01:41] industrial site near Kyiv. Yesterday, Yesterday, President Trump posted [00:01:44] posted this, claiming the two sides [00:01:46] sides agreed to stop attacks on energy energy facilities effective immediately. [00:01:50] immediately. But the Kremlin has [00:01:52] has yet to comment. Mr Zelensky said [00:01:54] said the announcement was news to to him, but the Ukraine would support [00:01:58] support a ceasefire if Russia sticks [00:02:01] sticks to the terms. Relations between between Mr Zelensky and Mr Trump [00:02:05] Trump have deteriorated as the US US President tries to get the cost [00:02:08] cost of oil and diesel down before [00:02:11] before the US mid-term elections. elections. Dan Johnson reports from [00:02:14] from Kyiv. On the edge of Kharkiv [00:02:19] Kharkiv last night. A reminder Russia [00:02:22] Russia has not stopped attacking [00:02:26] attacking Ukraine. This woman was [00:02:29] was filming after the sirens. Asking [00:02:31] Asking where would be hit? She was [00:02:34] was lucky to survive a strike on on a shop that killed three people [00:02:38] people and injured more than 20. [00:02:41] 20. This just hours after Donald [00:02:43] Donald Trump announced his partial [00:02:46] partial truce on Truth Social, he he wrote effective immediately, there [00:02:50] there is an energy ceasefire in the [00:02:52] the war between Russia and Ukraine. [00:02:54] Ukraine. Both parties have agreed. [00:02:56] agreed. Do not break it. Ukraine's [00:03:01] Ukraine's been targeting Russian Russian oil refineries in response [00:03:03] response to attacks on its own power power grid. Ukraine said it was ready [00:03:07] ready to cease if Russia did the the same. But Donald Trump's announcement [00:03:11] announcement appeared to come as [00:03:12] as a surprise to President Zelensky. [00:03:16] Zelensky. Ukraine is ready to refrain [00:03:18] refrain from striking Russia's energy energy infrastructure, and we expect [00:03:21] expect Russia to show the same readiness readiness and honour. The agreement [00:03:25] agreement reached with the President President of the United States. He [00:03:29] He better damn well stop. It was [00:03:32] was a tense weekend of fractured fractured US Ukraine relations. I [00:03:36] I suggest they get a new leader who [00:03:38] who can make a deal. The row started [00:03:41] started when Donald Trump lifted lifted export restrictions on Russian [00:03:44] Russian diesel. Many believe to ease ease fuel prices driven up by the [00:03:48] the war in Iran. In Kyiv, the streets [00:03:54] streets have fallen dark and quiet [00:03:56] quiet as its power network has been been pounded. Many people here are [00:04:00] are without light, heat or water water because electricity is needed [00:04:03] needed to pump it. Ukrainians were were braced for a very difficult [00:04:07] difficult few months ahead into the the winter. So there's a lot riding [00:04:10] riding on this cease fire. But even [00:04:12] even if it holds, the war is not [00:04:15] not over. That was hammered home [00:04:19] home with more drones heading for [00:04:21] for the capital. And within two hours [00:04:25] hours this was Kharkiv's main power power station, leaving Ukrainians [00:04:29] Ukrainians questioning what impact impact this cease fire will have. [00:04:33] have. Dan Johnson, BBC News in Kyiv. [00:04:35] Kyiv. Well, let's speak to Major [00:04:37] Major General Mick Ryan, senior military military fellow at the Lowy Institute. [00:04:41] Institute. He is joining us live live from Brisbane. Good to have [00:04:44] have you on the programme. So give [00:04:46] give us your take on these latest [00:04:48] latest developments. A ceasefire [00:04:52] ceasefire declared by President Trump [00:04:53] Trump when it comes to the attack [00:04:56] attack of energy facilities. And [00:04:58] And yet both sides Ukraine and Russia, [00:05:01] Russia, not necessarily in the loop. [00:05:05] loop. Well, I think the energy cease cease fire was a concoction of Donald [00:05:08] Donald Trump's brain. It was a [00:05:14] Was a lie. Neither side knew about it as President Zelensky was was very clear in stating. And if [00:05:18] if the Russians knew about it, they they certainly didn't abide by it it by attacking a power station within [00:05:22] within two hours of this so-called so-called energy truce, the Ukrainians [00:05:25] Ukrainians would love an energy truce truce and part of their campaign [00:05:28] campaign to attack oil refineries refineries has do has been to give [00:05:31] give them the kind of leverage to to stop the Russians killing their [00:05:35] their people. Whether the Russians Russians will agree to that remains [00:05:37] remains to be seen. How does the [00:05:40] the diesel deal between President President Trump and President Putin [00:05:42] Putin play into all of this? It was [00:05:46] was probably one of the most appalling appalling decisions we've seen out [00:05:49] out of an American President for [00:05:51] for many decades to give comfort [00:05:53] comfort and support to an adversary [00:05:56] adversary who's providing weapons weapons and information to the Iranians, [00:06:00] Iranians, who is killing Americans. Americans. I mean, it's just the [00:06:02] the most awful decisions. It's disheartening disheartening for the Ukrainians. [00:06:06] Ukrainians. It will certainly not not have a big impact on their morale. [00:06:10] morale. They've come to expect this [00:06:11] this from Donald Trump. I think Europe [00:06:14] Europe will be once again relooking [00:06:16] relooking at its relationships with [00:06:18] with America. And you know, the accusations [00:06:23] accusations against the Ukrainian Ukrainian president made by Donald [00:06:25] Donald Trump just are without foundation. [00:06:27] foundation. And the point of those those accusations is Donald Trump [00:06:30] Trump pitching those to his domestic [00:06:32] domestic audience. Oh, absolutely. [00:06:34] absolutely. This is part of the preparation [00:06:39] preparation for assembling a group [00:06:40] group of characters that he can blame [00:06:43] blame for the very likely loss of of both the House and the Senate [00:06:46] Senate in the mid-term elections elections in November. And Zelensky [00:06:50] Zelensky will be one of many people [00:06:52] people that Trump will have assembled assembled to be able to blame. So [00:06:56] So there's no blame attributed to [00:06:57] to him. So what should Ukraine do [00:07:00] do now? Well, first and foremost, foremost, Ukraine has to continue [00:07:04] continue defending its people and and defending its territory and giving [00:07:06] giving us all a profound example example of what courage and defence [00:07:10] defence of democracy looks like in in the 21st century. Clearly, the [00:07:14] the President of Ukraine has been been very cautious in his language. [00:07:17] language. He hasn't wanted to overreact [00:07:19] overreact and inflame an already already frazzled and frustrated Donald [00:07:22] Donald Trump. But I expect it will [00:07:25] will be doubling down on its relationships relationships with countries across [00:07:28] across the European Union and talking talking to Nato about what else might [00:07:32] might be done to prevent these attacks [00:07:34] attacks on its cities and murdering murdering its civilians. OK, Mick [00:07:38] Mick Ryan, thanks for your time and and your thoughts on those latest latest developments. Well, let's [00:07:41] let's now turn our attention to the the Middle East. Yemen's Houthi rebels [00:07:45] rebels have renewed their warnings warnings against using Saudi airports [00:07:48] airports after two deadly strikes strikes on Riyadh's main international [00:07:52] international airport in as many many days. Saudi officials say one [00:07:55] one person was killed and 11 were [00:07:58] were wounded in an attack on King King Khalid International Airport [00:08:01] Airport on Sunday. That came a day day after 13 people were killed and [00:08:05] and more than 300 injured in a missile missile strike, the deadliest attack [00:08:09] attack on Saudi soil in more than [00:08:12] than a decade. So we've received [00:08:14] received CCTV pictures of the moment moment of [00:08:21] Moment of Saturday's attack. We're choosing not to show you some some of these as they are too distressing. [00:08:24] distressing. But in the footage we're we're showing you now from Saudi [00:08:26] Saudi state television, all the passengers [00:08:29] passengers seen waiting for their their flights, which you'll see in [00:08:32] in a moment, do manage to get up [00:08:35] up and escape after the bright orange [00:08:38] orange flash of the missile tearing tearing through the building. The [00:08:41] The Iran-backed Houthis have said said they're targeting Saudi Arabia [00:08:45] Arabia over its support for government government forces in Yemen's civil [00:08:48] civil war. In a post on X Britain's [00:08:51] Britain's embassy in Saudi Arabia Arabia advises British citizens against [00:08:55] against all but essential travel [00:08:57] travel to Jeddah. A Dammam and all [00:08:59] all airports in the kingdom except except for Medina. Here's our world [00:09:03] world news correspondent Joe Inwood. [00:09:06] Inwood. Saturday morning. One of [00:09:07] of Saudi Arabia's busiest airports. [00:09:10] airports. Hundreds of people from from all over the world waiting for [00:09:13] for their flight. Then this a missile [00:09:17] missile hitting a crowded terminal, terminal, killing more than a dozen [00:09:20] dozen people, wounding over 300. [00:09:23] 300. Emergency services were said said to be overwhelmed late last [00:09:27] last night. A group called the Houthis Houthis claim responsibility not [00:09:30] not just for Saturday's attack but but for this one. Last Thursday at [00:09:34] at the same airport. Another one one yesterday, as well as one at [00:09:38] at a state run gas plant with the the help of Almighty God, the armed [00:09:42] armed forces carried out for qualitative [00:09:45] qualitative operations over the past past 24 hours using a number of ballistic [00:09:49] ballistic and winged missiles as as well as drones. The first operation [00:09:52] operation targeted King Khalid Airport Airport in Riyadh. The second operation [00:09:55] operation targeted an Aramco gas [00:09:57] gas plant. The Houthis are a group [00:10:00] group that control large parts of [00:10:02] of Yemen just to the south of Saudi [00:10:04] Saudi Arabia. For more than a decade, decade, there's been a brutal civil [00:10:07] civil war there. The Houthis on one [00:10:10] one side, the internationally recognised recognised government, which is backed [00:10:13] backed by Saudi Arabia on the other. other. For the last couple of years [00:10:16] years there's been an uneasy truce. truce. But that's been shattered. [00:10:20] shattered. The Houthis made lightning lightning advances down the coast [00:10:24] coast last month, allowing them to to threaten Saudi shipping in the [00:10:27] the Red Sea. Saudi Arabia responded [00:10:30] responded with air strikes. The Houthis Houthis have been firing back. As [00:10:33] As we've seen this weekend. President President Trump is an ally of the [00:10:37] the Saudis. He condemned the attack attack on Riyadh airport but did [00:10:41] did not say he would get involved. involved. I think it's terrible, [00:10:44] terrible, terrible. The Saudis able able to defend themselves without [00:10:48] without us. While they're able to to defend. Look, the Saudis are good [00:10:51] good fighters. But I think the attack [00:10:53] attack was a terrible thing. This This attack was the most severe on [00:10:56] on Saudi soil in over a decade. Some [00:10:59] Some of those killed are now being [00:11:01] being identified. One of them, Buthaina [00:11:03] Buthaina Awada, was a mother of four four from Syria. She was a victim [00:11:07] victim of a conflict that she had had no part in. But that seems to [00:11:11] to be escalating dangerously. Joe [00:11:14] Joe Inwood, BBC News. Let's speak [00:11:16] speak to Benjamin Radd senior fellow fellow at the UCLA Burkle Centre [00:11:20] Centre for International Relations. Relations. Joining us live from Los Los Angeles. Good to speak to you [00:11:23] you again, Benjamin. So does this this not demonstrate what's happened [00:11:27] happened over the weekend? The growing growing military power of Yemen's [00:11:31] Yemen's Houthi rebels? Yes it does, [00:11:33] does, and glad to be with you again. again. This does demonstrate that. [00:11:36] that. Well, two things. Number one, one, yes, the increasing ability [00:11:39] ability of the Houthis to cause disruption disruption in the region. But also [00:11:42] also what's notable here is that that they have refrained from attacking [00:11:45] attacking US targets, US vessels, vessels, Israeli targets, commercial [00:11:48] commercial shipping going through through the Red Sea. They've kept kept this isolated [00:11:56] Kept this isolated to Saudi targets again in retaliation for for what they saw was an unjustified unjustified strike against their [00:12:00] their airport earlier against a plane plane that was coming back from Iran [00:12:02] Iran carrying allegedly weapons and [00:12:04] and military officers. And so and and those weapons were seen as being [00:12:08] being potentially used against the the Saudis. So this is you know, [00:12:11] know, we're seeing here two things things their ability to really cause [00:12:14] cause trouble and disruption and and dysfunction, but also the red [00:12:18] red lines they have not crossed, crossed, which is directly targeting targeting Americans, although apparently [00:12:21] apparently one American was killed killed in this most recent attack. [00:12:25] attack. How do you expect Saudi Arabia [00:12:26] Arabia to react to this? It is very [00:12:29] very difficult. The Saudis, short short of deploying ground troops, troops, they are using coalition [00:12:32] coalition forces. They're leaning [00:12:35] leaning heavily on Yemen's opposition opposition military, which is plagued [00:12:39] plagued with infighting and has not not been able to really address the [00:12:42] the Houthi problem. And add to that, that, the Houthis basically have have nothing to [00:12:49] Basically have nothing to lose. They are able to move their missile missile launchers and their rockets [00:12:52] rockets from place to place within within the mountainous region in in the northwest that they control, control, and for them, it's much [00:12:56] much cheaper to launch these munitions munitions and the drones than it [00:12:58] it is for the Saudis to use interceptors [00:13:01] interceptors to, to catch these munitions munitions coming in. And so also [00:13:04] also the Saudis have targets that that are exposed. They have airports, [00:13:07] airports, they have pipelines, they they have refineries, things of that that nature. The Houthis simply don't [00:13:11] don't have the same exposure. So So this creates an asymmetric situation. [00:13:15] situation. Despite the Saudis overwhelming [00:13:17] overwhelming military power. On Sunday, [00:13:20] Sunday, the World Petroleum Congress [00:13:22] Congress was, was happening in Riyadh. [00:13:24] Riyadh. Some big oil execs decided decided not to be there, including [00:13:28] including the boss of BP. Others Others could not get there. They [00:13:31] They tried but couldn't. The Saudi Saudi Arabia wanted it to carry on [00:13:35] on business as usual. I just wonder [00:13:38] wonder what will happen next? I mean, mean, the US President Trump was [00:13:42] was asked would he react? Would he he get involved? He's sort of not [00:13:46] not responding yet. What are your your thoughts? This is absolutely [00:13:49] absolutely a disaster for the Saudis Saudis on a diplomatic front, on on an economic front, as they're [00:13:53] they're trying to position Saudi Saudi Arabia and Riyadh as a hub [00:13:56] hub for commerce and business and and tourism. This does not make it [00:13:59] it easy for the US response. The The way President Trump sees this this is that this is pulling the [00:14:03] the focus away from the US's current current situation with Iran. For [00:14:07] For now, the Houthis have refrained refrained from directly attacking [00:14:11] attacking US targets, US vessels, [00:14:13] vessels, commercial vessels further further inflaming the situation happening [00:14:16] happening in the Strait of Hormuz Hormuz and the Persian Gulf. The [00:14:18] The last thing President Trump presumably [00:14:21] presumably needs is the closure of of shipping lanes through the Red [00:14:23] Red Sea as well. And so at this point, point, that's essentially what staying [00:14:27] staying the President's hand. But But yet here you have an ally more [00:14:31] more or less unable to respond in in a way that neutralises the threat. [00:14:34] threat. So the question remains, remains, can the US continue staying [00:14:38] staying out of this, or will it have have to assist the Saudis more directly [00:14:41] directly and more proactively? And And what will the price of that be [00:14:45] be in terms of potential Houthi response? response? That remains to be seen. [00:14:48] seen. OK, Benjamin, as ever, we appreciate appreciate your thoughts. Thanks [00:14:50] Thanks for talking to us once again, again, Benjamin Raad there. Just [00:14:53] Just to say we're keeping a close close eye on all reaction on financial [00:14:56] financial markets. Such an intense intense week of news for market watchers. [00:14:59] watchers. Brent crude is currently [00:15:02] currently $103 per barrel on global global financial markets. We'll have [00:15:05] have a lot more on that in Business [00:15:07] Business Today. Now almost 140 people [00:15:10] people are now known to have been been killed when their boat, which [00:15:14] which was carrying over 300, capsized [00:15:17] capsized off the coast of Djibouti.

It's among the deadliest deadliest shipwrecks on a route used used by migrants from the Horn of [00:15:24] of Africa seeking to reach the Gulf [00:15:27] Gulf states through war torn Yemen.

It comes nine days [00:15:41] days after Pyongyang fired a missile, [00:15:44] missile, which it said incorporated incorporated artificial intelligence intelligence technology. The presidential [00:15:48] presidential office in Seoul is urging urging an immediate halt to the repeated [00:15:51] repeated ballistic missile launches, launches, which it says violate UN [00:15:55] UN Security Council resolutions. [00:15:58] resolutions. A US federal judge has has ordered an immediate halt to [00:16:02] to taxpayer funded adverts promoting promoting President Trump in the [00:16:05] the run up to next month's mid-term mid-term elections. The ruling follows [00:16:09] follows a public outcry over the the adverts, which the government government acknowledged in court [00:16:13] court filings have cost it at least [00:16:16] least $19 million. Plaintiffs, including including the watchdog group Common [00:16:19] Common Cause, brought the lawsuit [00:16:21] lawsuit alleging the ads were political [00:16:25] political propaganda in central Nepal.

Pope Leo says he [00:20:31] he will undergo surgery after doctors doctors detected what he called a [00:20:34] a very early stage nodule in his [00:20:37] his lung. The Vatican said that the the operation, scheduled for the [00:20:40] the first days of this week and the [00:20:43] the estimated post-operative recovery [00:20:45] recovery time will be about one week. [00:20:48] week. The 71-year-old pontiff has has no previously known health problems. [00:20:52] problems. Our Rome correspondent correspondent Sarah Rainsford has [00:20:55] has more. The Pope then delivered [00:20:59] delivered this announcement, as you you say, a big shock for those who [00:21:02] who were listening. He said that that he had had medical checks and [00:21:04] and that doctors had discovered a a nodule on his lung. Now, he said, [00:21:07] said, as he put it, that this had [00:21:09] had been detected at a very early early stage and was well localised, [00:21:13] localised, but that doctors had advised advised him he should have it removed. [00:21:16] removed. So he is going to have surgery surgery and that will take place [00:21:18] place in the next few days here in in Rome. The Vatican is not giving [00:21:22] giving many more details than that. that. Just saying that it will take [00:21:25] take him about a week to recover recover from the surgery itself. itself. We do know that nodules like [00:21:29] like this are relatively common and and that usually they're not cancerous. [00:21:33] cancerous. But certainly I think think Catholics around the world world are concerned are watching [00:21:36] watching this news very closely. closely. I think in particular, because [00:21:40] because this is a relatively young young Pope. He's in his early 70s. 70s. He goes to the gym. He likes [00:21:43] likes playing tennis. He's always always been thought of as fit and [00:21:47] and as healthy. And this is the first first health scare that he's had [00:21:50] had since he was elected last year. [00:21:54] year. Sarah Rainsford there. Manchester Manchester City have won their first [00:21:58] first match since being found guilty [00:22:00] guilty of all charges related to to breaches of the financial rules [00:22:04] rules governing the game. The team team were met by boss in a booze [00:22:07] booze should I say the team were were met by boos in Liverpool as [00:22:10] as they arrived for the game, which [00:22:13] which they won 3-0. The club maintain maintain they haven't broken any [00:22:17] any rules and have appealed against against the verdict. Here's our sports [00:22:20] sports editor, Dan Roan, with more more from Anfield. Now city have [00:22:24] have won convincingly here today. today. I think that is the result result that many fans, not just Liverpool [00:22:27] Liverpool fans but supporters of of other clubs would have feared feared because it does mean that [00:22:31] that their perfect start to the season season continues that six wins out [00:22:34] out of six. There are three points points clear at the top of the table, [00:22:38] table, nine points ahead of Liverpool. [00:22:41] Liverpool. But how much does it actually actually mean that? That is a hard hard question to answer. If city [00:22:45] city go on and win or even just if if they're in the title race, how [00:22:48] how much pride can they take? How How much excitement can it spark [00:22:52] spark when you know, when everybody everybody knows that there is a very very real prospect that they could [00:22:56] could be handed a huge points deduction deduction that would condemn them [00:22:59] them to relegation or even expulsion expulsion from the league? And until [00:23:03] until we know what that punishment punishment is, and until we know know the outcome of any appeal, we [00:23:06] we know that city have appealed. appealed. We don't know how long long that will take or whether indeed [00:23:10] indeed they'll then go beyond football [00:23:12] football jurisdiction and take it [00:23:15] it to the courts. Then this sense [00:23:17] sense of limbo will hang over this [00:23:19] this campaign. And what many will [00:23:21] will fear is future seasons. If it's [00:23:24] it's not concluded before the start [00:23:26] start of next season. Dan Roan there. [00:23:29] there. The actor Robert Pattinson Pattinson was in London last night [00:23:33] night at the premiere of his new [00:23:35] new film Prime Time. The movie dramatises dramatises the production of the [00:23:39] the American reality television series [00:23:41] series To Catch a Predator, which [00:23:45] which aired between 2004 and 2007. [00:23:47] 2007. Pattinson stars as its host host Chris Hanson, an NBC journalist [00:23:51] journalist who worked with a vigilante vigilante group to expose child predators [00:23:55] predators in sting operations. The The movie is getting rave reviews, [00:23:59] reviews, with many critics saying saying he's going to get an Oscar [00:24:01] Oscar nomination. Let's have a look. [00:24:05] look. I'm Chris Hansen with Dateline Dateline NBC and we're doing a story [00:24:09] story on adults who try to meet teens [00:24:12] teens online. You see how this looks, [00:24:14] looks, right? Well, our culture correspondent correspondent Noor Nanji caught up [00:24:18] up with Robert Pattinson on the red red carpet and asked him why he took [00:24:21] took on this role of Chris Hansen. [00:24:25] Hansen. I mean, it's both the most [00:24:27] most terrifying thing that can happen happen to you, whether you're if if you're a parent or even if you're [00:24:31] you're not. It's like the it's like [00:24:35] like the most unimaginable sin possible. [00:24:37] possible. And it's a kind of a it's [00:24:40] it's like an unknown entity, which which is kind of it's been going [00:24:44] going on since mediaeval times thinking thinking that there's a kind of spirit [00:24:48] spirit almost that can come in this this case through the internet and [00:24:51] and attack vulnerable children. And [00:24:53] And the show was the kind of a microcosm [00:24:57] microcosm of saying like, oh, we we can do something about it and and we can do something about it [00:25:01] it really, really, really quickly. quickly. And in some ways that's [00:25:04] that's correct. But it also makes makes for incredibly powerful TV. [00:25:08] TV. And that's when it kind of gets gets slightly dicey territory. Do [00:25:11] Do you think attitudes towards entertainment [00:25:12] entertainment have changed now? I [00:25:16] I think on mainstream TV, but then [00:25:19] then it's just been replaced. I mean, mean, that's kind of why I was interested interested in this show because I [00:25:23] I could see the beginning of a new new wave of predator catching in [00:25:25] in pretty much the same format that that it was in the early 2000, and [00:25:29] and it was really taking off on TikTok. TikTok. And I was just interested [00:25:32] interested as to why that was happening [00:25:35] happening and whether it was a algorithmically [00:25:38] algorithmically based interest or [00:25:40] or what. I mean, what was causing causing it? And it got bigger and [00:25:44] and bigger and bigger and now it's it's one of the most it's a massive massive thing on social media. So [00:25:48] So it's just very interesting to [00:25:50] to me. Interesting. We have got Business [00:25:53] Business Today.
