[00:00:13] Live from London. This is BBC News. Ukraine and Russia's alert
[00:00:17] alert apps are hit by an apparent apparent cyber attack. Ukrainian

[00:00:23] attacks and Street fighting in Kyiv.

[00:01:11] Hello and a very warm welcome to BBC News. I'm Mark Lowen both
[00:01:14] both Ukraine and Russia say their their emergency alert apps have been
[00:01:18] been hit by cyber attacks. Late on on Sunday, Ukraine warned that its
[00:01:21] its air alert app appeared to have have been compromised after citizens
[00:01:24] citizens received false notifications notifications about a nuclear and
[00:01:28] and other attacks. Ukraine's Centre Centre for Strategic Communications Communications blamed Russia for
[00:01:32] for the hack in a post on its X account. account. It showed some of the alerts
[00:01:36] alerts asking residents to disregard disregard any strange messages they
[00:01:39] they might see in the app, as well well as warnings of a radiological
[00:01:42] radiological threat. The false notifications notifications warned of a chemical chemical attack and even possible
[00:01:46] possible street fighting in Kyiv. Kyiv. Then early this morning, Russia's
[00:01:50] Russia's Ministry of Emergency Situations Situations said its mobile app had
[00:01:53] had been subjected to what it called called a massive cyber attack. Fake
[00:01:57] Fake warnings of nuclear strikes strikes inside Russia have reportedly
[00:01:59] reportedly been sent to users. Our Our Ukraine correspondent Dan Johnson
[00:02:03] Johnson has the latest from Kyiv. Kyiv. This is an app that many people
[00:02:07] people use as a back-up to the air air raid sirens that sound in the
[00:02:10] the streets. So it sounds an alert alert on your phone that's very much
[00:02:13] much like a siren going off and then then gives you some detail of what
[00:02:16] what the incoming threat is usually
[00:02:19] usually where Russian missiles or
[00:02:21] or drones are heading. Last night,
[00:02:23] night, just before 11pm local time,
[00:02:25] time, a series of alerts came through
[00:02:27] through on people's phones saying saying that there was a threat of
[00:02:31] of nuclear attack, chemical threat
[00:02:34] threat and then fighting in the streets. streets. Potential urban warfare,
[00:02:38] warfare, which very disturbing and and unnerved many people. But I think
[00:02:41] think the fact that those alerts alerts all came through within the
[00:02:44] the space of a few minutes perhaps perhaps suggested to most of the
[00:02:47] the population that something wasn't wasn't quite right with this, but but certainly it's something they've
[00:02:51] they've not seen before. That level level of alert coming through on
[00:02:54] on that system. And it took more more than an hour for an all clear
[00:02:58] clear message to follow, telling telling people to disregard those those messages the Air Force tried
[00:03:02] tried to put out a statement through through separate channels saying
[00:03:05] saying that there was actually no no no threat facing the population
[00:03:09] population anywhere in the country country on that sort of level and
[00:03:12] and that they should disregard that. that. The Air Force blamed enemy
[00:03:16] enemy interference, saying that it it was Russian hacking a cyber attack
[00:03:19] attack that had got into the system
[00:03:21] system and issued those alerts erroneously. erroneously. They've been trying
[00:03:24] trying to reassure people this morning
[00:03:26] morning that the actual air defence
[00:03:29] defence system has not been compromised, compromised, that this is just on
[00:03:33] on the public alert side of that that system, that there was no actual
[00:03:36] actual problem with Ukraine's air air defences last night. But certainly
[00:03:39] certainly this will have unnerved unnerved people and leaves open a
[00:03:43] a potential vulnerability in a system system that many people rely on.
[00:03:45] on. The authorities have been struggling struggling to keep public faith in
[00:03:48] in that system through the sheer sheer number of times it goes off
[00:03:51] off every day because of how many many attacks there are. There was
[00:03:54] was already a level of public fatigue
[00:03:57] fatigue with that because of just just how many attacks there are people people not necessarily respecting
[00:04:01] respecting it. So the authorities authorities already had a challenge challenge there, and they will be
[00:04:04] be trying to reassure people that that they can have faith in that
[00:04:07] that app and those alerts, that they they should be respected. Dan Johnson
[00:04:11] Johnson in Kyiv, the chief analyst analyst at BBC Monitoring, Vitaly
[00:04:14] Vitaly Shevchenko, explains the details details of what happened in the case
[00:04:17] case of the Russian attack. The attack
[00:04:21] attack that targeted Russia's emergency
[00:04:24] emergency systems happened within
[00:04:29] within hours of the presumed hacking hacking of the Ukrainian emergency
[00:04:32] emergency system, so it's reasonable reasonable to assume that one was
[00:04:36] was somehow related to the other.
[00:04:40] other. The other the way the announcement announcement was worded, the ones
[00:04:43] ones that were sent out in Russia
[00:04:47] Russia suggested that it might have have come from Ukraine because it
[00:04:51] it had some Ukrainian words in it
[00:04:53] it and mentioned a Ukrainian drone
[00:04:56] drone as well. And it used generally
[00:05:01] generally derogatory language aimed
[00:05:03] aimed at Russia. And it spoke of
[00:05:06] of a nuclear attack as well. I mean,
[00:05:09] mean, the fact that the Russians Russians are blaming the Ukrainians Ukrainians for that attack, the Ukrainians
[00:05:13] Ukrainians are blaming the Russians Russians for the first attack, are
[00:05:17] are either side actually thinking, thinking, well, maybe this came from
[00:05:19] from a third party, some kind of
[00:05:22] of cyber hack group that is enjoying
[00:05:24] enjoying riling both sides. Well,
[00:05:27] Well, clearly both Ukraine and Russia,
[00:05:31] Russia, they have the capability capability to do something like this.
[00:05:35] this. They have secret teams of hackers
[00:05:37] hackers working against each other.
[00:05:39] other. In the past, Russian hackers
[00:05:42] hackers have targeted Russia's energy energy system. For example. So there's
[00:05:46] there's a very good reason for Ukrainians
[00:05:49] Ukrainians to suspect the Russians
[00:05:52] Russians and at the moment of speaking,
[00:05:54] speaking, I've seen no credible evidence
[00:05:57] evidence that it's the Russians that
[00:05:59] that did it. However, it's there's there's a good reason for Russia
[00:06:03] Russia to do it as well as part of
[00:06:06] of its warfare targeting Ukrainian
[00:06:10] Ukrainian morale and making Ukrainians
[00:06:11] Ukrainians more tired of what's going
[00:06:14] going on, more distrustful of the
[00:06:17] the public air alert systems. But
[00:06:21] But I've had a look at the Russian Russian media and, you know, on social
[00:06:24] social media, there's a bit of gloating gloating here and there, which is
[00:06:27] is par for the course, really. But
[00:06:30] But I would be really, really surprised surprised if the Russians admitted
[00:06:34] admitted that they did it because
[00:06:35] because they never know. Vitaly Shevchenko
[00:06:38] Shevchenko there from BBC Monitoring. Monitoring. And you can get more
[00:06:41] more on the BBC live page, on our our website or on the app, which
[00:06:44] which includes residents reactions
[00:06:46] reactions to the false emergency
[00:06:49] emergency alerts. Now the US midterm
[00:06:52] midterm elections are just one day
[00:06:54] day away. This is the scene live live in Washington, pretty dark,
[00:06:57] dark, of course it's just gone 5am
[00:07:00] 5am on Capitol Hill. And tomorrow tomorrow millions of voters across
[00:07:03] across the country will determine determine the balance of power inside
[00:07:07] inside that building, beneath the the lovely dome. And while the Democrats
[00:07:10] Democrats are widely predicted to to flip the House of Representatives, Representatives, the lower House,
[00:07:13] House, the Senate is still up for for grabs. And there's been a last-minute
[00:07:16] last-minute twist in a key Senate Senate race with the loser of Michigan's
[00:07:20] Michigan's Democratic primary, the the representative Haley Stevens,
[00:07:23] Stevens, endorsing the Republican Republican nominee, Mike Rogers,
[00:07:26] Rogers, instead of her own party's party's candidate Abdul El-Sayed. El-Sayed. It comes after a public
[00:07:30] public feud between Mr Stevens and and Mr El-Sayed about Israel, which
[00:07:33] which led to the cancellation of
[00:07:35] of public appearances together just just days before tomorrow's election.
[00:07:38] election. Latest polls put the Democrats Democrats just ahead of the Republicans
[00:07:41] Republicans in Michigan in one of of the most important Senate races
[00:07:44] races this year. Our North America America correspondent Nada Tawfik
[00:07:47] Tawfik sent us this report from Detroit,
[00:07:49] Detroit, Michigan. A shock here in in the high profile Michigan Senate
[00:07:52] Senate race is rocking the Democratic Democratic Party. Congresswoman Haley
[00:07:56] Haley Stevens has very publicly endorsed endorsed the Republican Mike Rogers
[00:08:00] Rogers over her own party's nominee, nominee, Abdul El-Sayed, who she
[00:08:03] she lost to in the primary. In recent recent days. She has gone after him
[00:08:06] him again for his stance on Israel. Israel. In reaction, El-Sayed, who
[00:08:10] who hopes to become Michigan's first first Muslim senator, said he wasn't
[00:08:13] wasn't thinking of Haley Stevens. Stevens. But the concerns of voters
[00:08:16] voters in these final hours, this this last minute stunning break with
[00:08:19] with her party has been swiftly condemned condemned by Democrats here, who
[00:08:23] who almost certainly need to hold hold the state to have a fighting
[00:08:26] fighting chance of retaking the Senate. Senate. Many of her own staffers
[00:08:30] staffers have resigned, including including her chief of staff, who who said the election was too important
[00:08:34] important to sow Division and Democratic Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said
[00:08:37] said the party was united against against Mike Rogers, who he called
[00:08:40] called a tool of Donald Trump. But
[00:08:43] But this remarkable public feud points points to the deep divisions among
[00:08:47] among Democrats. That's Nada Tawfik Tawfik with that shock development
[00:08:50] development in Michigan and our North North America editor Sarah Smith Smith sent this report from the key
[00:08:54] key state of Maine in the northeast.
[00:08:57] northeast. Most of the places where where the races look really tight
[00:08:59] tight are states where there is an
[00:09:02] an incumbent Republican facing a a Democratic challenger who is doing
[00:09:06] doing remarkably well in the polls. polls. Now, we know that opinion opinion polls have been wrong in
[00:09:09] in the past, and there's no guarantee guarantee that they're right this
[00:09:12] this year. But they have fairly consistently consistently been showing a major
[00:09:15] major surge in support for Democrats, Democrats, which means they could
[00:09:18] could be able to take some really really surprising seats like Iowa,
[00:09:21] Iowa, Ohio, maybe even Texas and
[00:09:24] and Kansas. Real Republican strongholds strongholds that have been that way
[00:09:27] way for decades now. I have travelled travelled across the country to a a number of these key states and
[00:09:31] and everywhere. Voters have told told me that they are very angry
[00:09:34] angry about the cost of living, and and they directly blame that on Donald
[00:09:37] Donald Trump and his decision to to go to war with Iran, but not everybody
[00:09:41] everybody in that position said they they were going to switch their votes. votes. Some are still planning to
[00:09:45] to vote for Donald Trump's Republicans.
[00:09:48] Republicans. It does seem likely likely Democrats will take a majority
[00:09:50] majority in the House of Representatives. Representatives. And if they do that,
[00:09:54] that, that will allow them to try try and block legislation that Donald
[00:09:57] Donald Trump passes and open some some investigations. It will be harder
[00:10:00] harder for them to win a majority
[00:10:02] majority in the Senate. But whatever whatever happens, it will have a
[00:10:05] a very big impact on Donald Trump's Trump's last two years in office.
[00:10:08] office. Sarah Smith in Maine, well well ahead of the midterms, Clive Clive Myrie visited North Carolina
[00:10:12] Carolina and looked at how the cost cost of living crisis could impact
[00:10:15] impact the outcome of the election. election. There. It's quite astonishing
[00:10:19] astonishing that a place like North North Carolina could send a Democrat
[00:10:23] Democrat senator back to Washington Washington for the first time in
[00:10:26] in almost 20 years, the Republicans Republicans have ruled the roost
[00:10:29] roost here, but they're in trouble trouble in these elections. Many
[00:10:32] Many we've spoken to say the economy economy is their big concern, and
[00:10:36] and the cost of living is simply simply too high. We found a two mile
[00:10:39] mile long queue of people trying
[00:10:41] trying to get help from a food bank. bank. Farmers here say they're angry
[00:10:45] angry about tariffs and trade policy,
[00:10:47] policy, though some maintain they'll they'll stick with the Republicans.
[00:10:50] Republicans. The Democrats are confident
[00:10:53] confident they can win and if they
[00:10:55] they do, that could spell big trouble

[00:12:17] in our bio data. Join me, Paul Carter Carter for Explore Japan from East
[00:12:20] East to West on BBC News. Hello.
[00:12:28] Hello. Welcome back here. The Home Home Secretary is due to set out
[00:12:32] out revised immigration rules for for legal migrants later today. It
[00:12:35] It comes amidst pressure for Shabana Shabana Mahmood to dilute her original
[00:12:39] original plans on indefinite leave leave to remain. She's proposed extending
[00:12:42] extending the wait for permanent permanent settlement for people who
[00:12:44] who move to the UK from five years
[00:12:47] years to ten. Our chief political political correspondent Henry Zeffman
[00:12:49] Zeffman looks ahead to the Home Secretary's Secretary's announcement. Look, it's
[00:12:52] it's a really big moment this because because Shabana Mahmood first announced
[00:12:56] announced these proposals around
[00:12:58] around changing the rules for how
[00:13:00] how long legal migrants have to wait
[00:13:03] wait before they can apply for indefinite indefinite leave to remain essentially
[00:13:06] essentially permanent settled status status here in the UK. It's been
[00:13:09] been more than a year since she, she, or almost a year since she first first announced these, a year of
[00:13:13] of intense controversy within the the Labour Party. In a year in which,
[00:13:16] which, while the identity of the the Home Secretary hasn't changed
[00:13:18] changed the identity of the Prime
[00:13:20] Prime Minister has. So this announcement announcement today is Andy Burnham
[00:13:24] Burnham showing his hand on this this issue for the first time. The
[00:13:27] The Home Office is remaining very very tight lipped on what precisely
[00:13:31] precisely Shabana Mahmood will say, say, but it does seem clear that
[00:13:34] that her plans are going to be diluted diluted to some extent. But how significant
[00:13:38] significant a dilution we really really do not know. And there's a
[00:13:41] a broad spectrum there in terms of of whether people on the left of
[00:13:45] of the Labour Party will end up thinking thinking that it ought to have been
[00:13:48] been diluted much more, or whether
[00:13:50] whether actually others will think
[00:13:53] think that these proposals have been been diluted too much. We just do
[00:13:56] do not know where that is going to to end up. What I think is pretty
[00:13:59] pretty clear is that there's going
[00:14:01] going to be some sort of change around
[00:14:03] around the status of care workers, workers, social care workers, and
[00:14:07] and that's because they are often often some of the lowest paid migrants
[00:14:09] migrants in society. And as a result, result, under the existing proposals,
[00:14:13] proposals, as they stand, at least least at this point, we're talking
[00:14:16] talking this morning, Shabana Mahmood Mahmood was proposing that they would
[00:14:19] would have to wait not five years years as it currently is, before
[00:14:22] before applying for indefinite leave leave to remain but 15 years. It
[00:14:25] It seems likely that will change. change. But in what way? We just
[00:14:28] just don't yet know. And Henry, you you talk about those some in the
[00:14:31] the party wanting it to be diluted diluted even more. I mean, there there have been tensions, haven't
[00:14:34] haven't there really at the top tier tier of the Labour Party with Angela
[00:14:37] Angela Rayner, a very uncomfortable uncomfortable about tightening the
[00:14:40] the rules. And she's now back at
[00:14:43] at the in the cabinet. So just how
[00:14:46] how tricky is that now for Shabana Shabana Mahmood with those kinds kinds of tensions at such high levels.
[00:14:50] levels. It's very tricky and it's it's very publicly awkward. Yes.
[00:14:52] Yes. As you say, Angela Rayner is
[00:14:55] is housing secretary again. She was was housing secretary resigned from
[00:14:58] from the cabinet. And during that that period where she was a backbench
[00:15:01] backbench MP, she said that these these proposals were un-British.
[00:15:04] un-British. I think what's especially especially delicate for the government,
[00:15:07] government, and perhaps it's more more for Andy Burnham and his party
[00:15:10] party management than it is awkward
[00:15:12] awkward for Shabana Mahmood specifically specifically is that Angela Rayner,
[00:15:15] Rayner, herself a former care worker, worker, was not raising the objection
[00:15:19] objection that some Labour MPs have, have, which is that they believe believe this. These proposals would
[00:15:23] would leave the care system understaffed.
[00:15:25] understaffed. She was making a much much broader, more fundamental point.
[00:15:29] point. She said it was un-British
[00:15:31] un-British to change the rules retrospectively, retrospectively, to change the rules
[00:15:35] rules around indefinite leave, to to remain once these people are already
[00:15:38] already in the UK working towards towards what they thought would be
[00:15:42] be the system. I don't think that
[00:15:44] that that objection is going to be
[00:15:46] be met today. And so that is definitely definitely awkward for Angela Rayner,
[00:15:49] Rayner, for Shabana Mahmood and for for Andy Burnham. Henry Zeffman there
[00:15:53] there to France now students there there returning from autumn holidays
[00:15:56] holidays blocked some high schools schools on Monday determined to reinvigorate
[00:16:00] reinvigorate a protest movement despite despite government concessions during
[00:16:03] during the break. Well, this is Paris Paris in the last hour and before
[00:16:07] before the break there demonstrations demonstrations had turned violent
[00:16:10] violent in some parts of the country. country. The students have been complaining complaining about a range of issues,
[00:16:14] issues, including the poor state state of their schools, staff shortages shortages and the university admissions
[00:16:18] admissions system. Our correspondent correspondent Hugh Schofield is in
[00:16:21] in Paris and said student protests protests are fairly calm now but but could flare up again later in
[00:16:25] in the week. We've been told by the the Ministry of Education that it's
[00:16:28] it's very few. In fact, it's 41 overall
[00:16:33] overall out of 3500 lycee. If that
[00:16:34] that is the case, then it is not
[00:16:37] not a big return to a show of force
[00:16:39] force by the students, which is not
[00:16:42] not to say that it won't resume later
[00:16:44] later on. But today is not a big
[00:16:49] big kind of showdown between a returning
[00:16:52] returning angry student workforce workforce or student force and the
[00:16:55] the schools and the government. 41 41 schools is not much and they'll
[00:16:59] they'll all be in the same metropolitan metropolitan areas central Paris,
[00:17:03] Paris, central Toulouse, central central Marseille and so on. I mean, mean, apparently in 75% of departments
[00:17:07] departments or counties across the the country, there is no problem problem at all. Now, I'm not for
[00:17:11] for a minute suggesting that the the government is is rubbing its its hands and saying this is all
[00:17:14] all over. Not not a bit of it. There There are dates ahead which could
[00:17:17] could easily see this movement return
[00:17:20] return in force, maybe even tomorrow.
[00:17:23] tomorrow. But Thursday in particular particular is a day in which everyone
[00:17:27] everyone is now watching very carefully carefully because that is a day on
[00:17:30] on which not just the students, but but the whole kind of working workforce,
[00:17:34] workforce, the unions in general general are calling for a day of
[00:17:37] of strikes and marches in, you know,
[00:17:39] know, in a classic con convergence
[00:17:42] convergence of the struggles kind kind of idea. So this isn't over.
[00:17:45] over. But I mean, quite clearly the the students aren't are going to to find it difficult maintaining
[00:17:49] maintaining the kind of momentum momentum they had before because, because, you know, there is let us
[00:17:52] us not forget a silent majority in in all of this that wants to get
[00:17:55] get back to work. And, you know, know, exams are not around the corner,
[00:17:58] corner, but they'll be next year year and they've lost a lot of coursework
[00:18:01] coursework already. Yeah. And yet yet even though the government has
[00:18:05] has made some concessions saying saying that they're going to phase
[00:18:08] phase out that controversial university university admission system, for
[00:18:11] for example, and decrease class sizes, sizes, that is not washing with for
[00:18:15] for the moment with the student unions
[00:18:16] unions or indeed the workers unions.
[00:18:20] unions. Yes. I mean, as you say,
[00:18:23] say, the government gave ground.
[00:18:25] ground. I mean it basically said

[00:18:34] the Parcoursup, which is the admission admission system, which opponents
[00:18:36] opponents say is socially and racially racially biassed. There's going to

[00:18:58] us 5 billion. So please don't say
[00:18:59] say these are crumbs. But the union
[00:19:02] union leaders who are radical close close to the far left party, the the LFI, they're saying it's not
[00:19:06] not enough and they want to keep keep up the pressure. But we'll have have to see. I mean, quite clearly
[00:19:10] clearly their aim is now to join
[00:19:11] join forces with the sort of a wider
[00:19:15] wider movement of discontent against against inflation, the cost of living, living, and we'll see if that works

[00:20:06] with speed, Italy has had to wait wait more than 70 years for a Formula

[00:20:54] journalist and content creator. He He thinks this was a well deserved
[00:20:58] deserved victory for Kimi Antonelli. Antonelli. I just think it's amazing
[00:21:00] amazing for what we've seen. He's He's grown up in pretty much the
[00:21:03] the public eye, gone from the junior junior series up to now and Formula
[00:21:07] Formula One world champion and deservedly deservedly won as well based on this
[00:21:10] this season. How important do you
[00:21:13] you think it is that he is born into
[00:21:16] into or was, was born into a Formula Formula One family? I mean his father
[00:21:19] father was a was a racing driver. driver. You know, you've got the
[00:21:22] the you've got the Schumacher's you've you've got the Verstappen's. I mean
[00:21:25] mean being born into families where
[00:21:26] where the father races, the son races.
[00:21:29] races. How important is that in ensuring ensuring future success in F1? Do
[00:21:32] Do you think. It's a really important important part. We know that getting
[00:21:35] getting into Formula One is really really expensive and helping. Having
[00:21:38] Having the contacts be able to get get the right commercial partners partners to back you the right back
[00:21:42] back in financially to get up. So So Formula One isn't just about having
[00:21:45] having the best drivers on the grid. grid. You also need to be supported supported financially to make you
[00:21:49] you achieve those dreams as well. well. So it's a really important important part of the process, especially
[00:21:52] especially with the junior series series getting even more expensive expensive now as we get towards Formula
[00:21:56] Formula One. But he is still talented
[00:21:59] talented despite having those kind kind of advantages at birth. Absolutely.
[00:22:03] Absolutely. He is without a doubt doubt one of the greatest talents talents we've seen up there with
[00:22:06] with the greatest already in terms terms of just raw talent. So you've you've got to have that talent. You've
[00:22:10] You've also got to have that ability ability to get that backing as well.
[00:22:12] well. So it's always a combination combination of both. And on his youth
[00:22:16] youth Terry, how important is that that in terms of attracting younger
[00:22:20] younger fans to Formula One now? now? It's really important. We've
[00:22:23] We've seen that there's been some some negativity around the regulation
[00:22:26] regulation changes that we've seen seen in 2026. We've also got drivers
[00:22:29] drivers who like Lewis Hamilton are are reaching the end of their career. career. So for Formula One, having
[00:22:33] having someone so young will help help bring the next generation through, through, which obviously really key
[00:22:36] key to them growing their not just just their viewing figures, but also
[00:22:39] also just the sport in general is is it just seems to get bigger and
[00:22:42] and bigger really. And he just seems seems like a nice guy as well, doesn't doesn't he? I mean, you know, just
[00:22:46] just a bit like a bit like the other other Italian superstar at the moment, moment, Jannik Sinner in tennis,
[00:22:50] tennis, very humble just I suppose
[00:22:53] suppose people really rallying behind behind him because he's just a he's he's just a nice bloke and also he's
[00:22:57] he's just done he's done such wonders wonders really in terms of youth
[00:23:00] youth and for his country. Yeah, Yeah, absolutely. I mean, we've seen seen some of the stuff that Mercedes
[00:23:03] Mercedes has been sharing behind behind the scenes about what he brings brings to the team, just that that
[00:23:07] that youthfulness, that plainness plainness that he's bringing in. in. But there's also a serious side side that goes alongside it with
[00:23:11] with winning as well. But for me, me, it's just a really good news news story for the sport. He's someone
[00:23:15] someone who really deserves it and and it's just a worthy champion to
[00:23:18] to be honest. That's Formula One One journalist Terry Widdows there

[00:24:36] like a funnel for North Korean state
