[00:01:21] held across the US with the midterm
[00:01:24] midterm elections just now one day day away. We can show you the scene
[00:01:27] scene live in Washington. Tomorrow, Tomorrow, millions of voters across across the country will determine
[00:01:31] determine the balance of power in
[00:01:33] in Congress. The Democratic Party
[00:01:35] Party has high expectations as it it heads into these pivotal elections.
[00:01:39] elections. It's widely predicted predicted that the Democrats will
[00:01:41] will flip the House of Representatives. Representatives. The Senate, though
[00:01:44] though still very much up for grabs. grabs. Democratic candidates lead
[00:01:48] lead in well over the 218 seats needed
[00:01:51] needed to change control of the lower lower chamber of Congress. The House
[00:01:55] House of Representatives. That's That's what we're seeing in polls.
[00:01:57] polls. And they are tied or narrowly narrowly ahead in key Senate races
[00:02:01] races as well. And there has been been a last-minute twist in this
[00:02:05] this key race. It's a Senate race race with the loser of Michigan's
[00:02:08] Michigan's Democratic primary Haley Haley Stevens endorsing the Republican
[00:02:12] Republican nominee, Mike Rogers, Rogers, instead of her own party's
[00:02:15] party's candidate. Abdul El-Sayed El-Sayed it comes after a public
[00:02:18] public feud between Mr Stevens and and Mr al-Said about Israel, which
[00:02:22] which led to the cancellation of
[00:02:24] of public appearances together just just days before tomorrow's election.
[00:02:27] election. Latest polls putting the the Democrats just ahead of the Republicans
[00:02:31] Republicans in Michigan. This is is one of the most important Senate
[00:02:34] Senate races that we're looking at at this year, well ahead of the midterms.
[00:02:37] midterms. Our correspondents on the the ground look now at the key different
[00:02:41] different issues that could impact impact the outcome of the election.
[00:02:44] election. So let's begin with Clive Clive Myrie, who's in North Carolina.
[00:02:48] Carolina. It's quite astonishing astonishing that a place like North
[00:02:50] North Carolina could send a Democrat Democrat senator back to Washington
[00:02:54] Washington for the first time in in almost 20 years. The Republicans
[00:02:57] Republicans have ruled the roost roost here, but they're in trouble
[00:03:01] trouble in these elections. Many Many we've spoken to say the economy economy is their big concern, and
[00:03:05] and the cost of living is simply simply too high. We found a two mile
[00:03:09] mile long queue of people trying
[00:03:11] trying to get help from a food bank. bank. Farmers here say they're angry
[00:03:15] angry about tariffs and trade policy,
[00:03:17] policy, though some maintain they'll they'll stick with the Republicans.
[00:03:20] Republicans. The Democrats are confident
[00:03:22] confident they can win and if they
[00:03:24] they do, that could spell big trouble trouble in Washington for Donald
[00:03:28] Donald Trump. This state is shaping shaping up to be one of the most
[00:03:32] most consequential contests in these these elections. I'm in Texas, where
[00:03:35] where the battle for a single Senate Senate seat could end up deciding
[00:03:39] deciding who controls Congress. More More than half $1 billion has been
[00:03:43] been spent on advertising alone, alone, making it the most expensive
[00:03:47] expensive non-presidential race in
[00:03:48] in American history. Democrat James
[00:03:51] James Talarico and Republican Ken
[00:03:52] Ken Paxton are in a race that's too
[00:03:55] too close to call. Democrats haven't
[00:03:58] haven't won here statewide since
[00:04:00] since 1994. If they manage it this
[00:04:03] this time around, it'll be the big
[00:04:05] big story of the night. When? Just
[00:04:07] Just look how long this line is for
[00:04:10] for early voting here in the state state of Ohio. Some of the guys here
[00:04:13] here told me they've been waiting waiting 2.5 hours already to cast
[00:04:16] cast their ballot in the building building over there ahead of Tuesday's
[00:04:19] Tuesday's midterm election. And we're
[00:04:21] we're hearing that the rates of early early in-person voting are way up
[00:04:25] up on what they were four years ago.
[00:04:27] ago. Here. Now, the big issue, as as soon as we got here, someone said
[00:04:30] said to me the cost of gas price
[00:04:32] price of petrol as it is nationwide, nationwide, of course, but this state
[00:04:36] state has been marked by an incredibly
[00:04:39] incredibly acrimonious race. The The Republicans hold this state both
[00:04:43] both in the Senate and for the governor's governor's mansion. There's been
[00:04:45] been a big row as far as that's concerned
[00:04:48] concerned over the attack ads in in that particular race. It all shows
[00:04:51] shows you just how bitterly fought fought the state of Ohio is going
[00:04:54] going to be. A shock here in the the high profile Michigan Senate
[00:04:58] Senate race is rocking the Democratic Democratic Party. Congresswoman Haley
[00:05:01] Haley Stevens has very publicly endorsed
[00:05:03] endorsed the Republican Mike Rogers Rogers over her own party's nominee.
[00:05:07] nominee. Abdul El-Sayed, who she she lost to in the primary. In recent
[00:05:10] recent days. She has gone after him him again for his stance on Israel.
[00:05:14] Israel. In reaction, El-Sayed, who who hopes to become Michigan's first
[00:05:17] first Muslim senator, said he wasn't wasn't thinking of Haley Stevens.
[00:05:19] Stevens. But the concerns of voters voters in these final hours, this
[00:05:23] this last minute stunning break with with her party has been swiftly condemned
[00:05:27] condemned by Democrats here, who who almost certainly need to hold
[00:05:30] hold the state to have a fighting fighting chance of retaking the Senate.
[00:05:33] Senate. Many of her own staffers staffers have resigned, including including her chief of staff, who
[00:05:37] who said the election was too important
[00:05:39] important to sow. Division and Democratic Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said
[00:05:43] said the party was united against against Mike Rogers, who he called
[00:05:46] called a tool of Donald Trump. But
[00:05:49] But this remarkable public feud points
[00:05:50] points to the deep divisions among
[00:05:53] among Democrats. Let's take you now
[00:05:55] now to Samira Hussain, who joins joins us from Iowa. Just outline
[00:05:59] outline for us the picture where
[00:06:01] where you are, Samir, across Iowa.
[00:06:05] Iowa. Well, in Iowa, President Trump
[00:06:07] Trump took this state by 13 percentage
[00:06:11] percentage points in 2024. But now
[00:06:13] now Democrats are hoping that they they can actually win, especially
[00:06:17] especially when it comes to the Senate
[00:06:19] Senate race. And as we know, winning
[00:06:21] winning a state like Iowa would be
[00:06:24] be key for the Democrats to win control
[00:06:27] control of the Senate. It is a very
[00:06:28] very tight race and it is still within
[00:06:31] within the margins of error. Now, Now, so important is this race that
[00:06:35] that President Trump actually came
[00:06:37] came to campaign here in person.
[00:06:40] person. And I was at that rally just just outside and I caught up with
[00:06:44] with some of the rally goers to hear
[00:06:46] hear why they decided to come and
[00:06:48] and see Mr Trump. I came here because
[00:06:51] because I have strong Christian values values and the Republican Party holds
[00:06:54] holds those values in the Democratic Democratic Party does not. I'll probably
[00:06:58] probably vote for Ashley Henson because because Trump said too. We need to
[00:07:01] to get wages up to catch up with with the high prices, and that's
[00:07:04] that's the only way that we will will improve in affordability. And
[00:07:08] And which party do you think can can actually make that happen and
[00:07:11] and why? I believe that the Republicans
[00:07:15] Republicans are setting conditions
[00:07:18] conditions suitable for very big
[00:07:19] big economic growth going forward
[00:07:22] forward based on tax policy, energy
[00:07:26] energy policy and regulatory policy.
[00:07:28] policy. We made English the official
[00:07:31] official language of the United States States of America. What was it like
[00:07:34] like inside? Wonderful. Just full
[00:07:37] full of energy. He is the best president
[00:07:39] president ever. Donald Trump is a a terrible person. He has nothing
[00:07:43] nothing redeemable about him. He He should not be president. So I
[00:07:46] I just have to come here and just just voice it. I'm usually not this
[00:07:50] this loud and obnoxious I am today
[00:07:52] today because enough's enough. You
[00:07:55] You heard that last comment there. there. There were some Democrats
[00:07:59] Democrats that had come out outside
[00:08:01] outside that rally. There was chanting
[00:08:04] chanting a lot of booing. And it it just shows how close the race
[00:08:07] race actually is here. Now look,
[00:08:10] look, Iowa is very much farming country.
[00:08:13] country. Agriculture is a way of of life. Even if you're not involved
[00:08:16] involved in farming directly, agriculture agriculture impacts everything that
[00:08:19] that happens in the state of Iowa,
[00:08:21] Iowa, and nowhere is the cost of
[00:08:24] of living and especially the high high cost of diesel more apparent
[00:08:28] apparent than to the people that that are living here. Remember it
[00:08:32] it is diesel that makes the tractors
[00:08:34] tractors and the combines work in
[00:08:36] in order for people to be able to
[00:08:39] to farm and to cultivate their land. land. And while normally President
[00:08:43] President Trump or rather the Republican
[00:08:46] Republican Party handily wins the the support of America's farmers,
[00:08:50] farmers, it's become a more divisive divisive issue as they have to pay
[00:08:54] pay so much more just to make their
[00:08:56] their farms work like this one. Samara, Samara, great to see you. Thank you
[00:08:59] you so much. We're across all the the developments for you here on
[00:09:02] on BBC News, but also our colleagues
[00:09:05] colleagues on the website, on the the BBC News website. Have a special
[00:09:08] special page up and running. You'll You'll find the tab at the top of
[00:09:11] of the page. The US midterms and and a live page. As you can see here
[00:09:15] here they're delving into at the the moment one of the most closely closely watched and bitter contests
[00:09:18] contests of the midterms. It is the the Michigan contest. We've been
[00:09:21] been talking about the row that's that's broken out there with Haley
[00:09:25] Haley Stevens endorsing Republican Republican rival Mike Rogers. Lots
[00:09:27] Lots of analysis there. Really interesting. interesting. So do log on and take
[00:09:31] take a look. Investigations are under
[00:09:33] under way after a private jet crashed crashed in Florida, killing all nine
[00:09:37] nine people on board. It is a remarkable remarkable moment, what we're about
[00:09:40] about to show you. When the jet actually
[00:09:43] actually crashed. This is dashcam
[00:09:45] dashcam footage and you can see the the Learjet 60 heading to the Bahamas
[00:09:49] Bahamas coming down in Palm Beach Beach County, a large crater formed
[00:09:52] formed in the middle of a multi-lane multi-lane road with fires burning
[00:09:56] burning right across it. It seems seems remarkable, but nobody was
[00:09:58] was actually hurt. And the cause
[00:10:00] cause of the crash is still unclear.
[00:10:05] unclear. Stay with us.
[00:11:09] winter ahead. Stay with us on BBC BBC News and we'll bring you the
[00:11:12] the latest. On both Ukraine and Russia
[00:11:18] Russia say their emergency alert alert apps have been hit by cyber
[00:11:21] cyber attacks. Late on Sunday, Ukraine Ukraine warning that its air alert
[00:11:24] alert app appeared to have been compromised.
[00:11:26] compromised. People received false false notifications about a nuclear
[00:11:29] nuclear attack. Other attacks as
[00:11:32] as well Ukraine's Centre for Strategic Strategic Communications blamed Russia
[00:11:35] Russia for the hack in a post on on its X account. It showed some
[00:11:37] some of the alerts asking residents residents to disregard any strange
[00:11:41] strange messages they might see in in the app. The false notification
[00:11:44] notification also warned of a chemical chemical attack and even possible possible street fighting in Kyiv.
[00:11:47] Kyiv. Then early on Monday morning, morning, Russia's Ministry of Emergency
[00:11:51] Emergency Situations said its mobile mobile app had been subjected to
[00:11:54] to a massive cyber attack. Fake warnings
[00:11:56] warnings of nuclear strikes inside inside Russia were reportedly being
[00:11:59] being sent to users there. Joe Inwood
[00:12:01] Inwood has more for us. There are
[00:12:05] are parts of Ukraine where this is
[00:12:07] is still the reality of war in the
[00:12:10] the 21st century. They call this this her son's kill zone, an area
[00:12:14] area along the front lines inaccessible inaccessible for most of the war.
[00:12:17] war. Until last week, a brief humanitarian
[00:12:20] humanitarian ceasefire that allowed allowed rescue teams to get to people
[00:12:23] people who had been entirely cut
[00:12:26] cut off like Natalia. You can see
[00:12:28] see my house has been damaged by by drones, she says. The 53-year-old
[00:12:33] 53-year-old is one of a handful of of people who stayed in the village
[00:12:36] village of Coxsackie. Her life has has been reduced to basic survival
[00:12:39] survival drinking rainwater, gathering
[00:12:41] gathering firewood and staying alive.
[00:12:46] alive. They've dropped mines everywhere. everywhere. You can't get through.
[00:12:49] through. I gather firewood for my
[00:12:51] my stove. I don't hide if a drone drone hovers over me for too long.
[00:12:55] long. I come out holding a white
[00:12:57] white cloth. The ceasefire has given
[00:13:03] given her some respite, but she knows
[00:13:04] knows it is only temporary. We need
[00:13:12] need silence. We need to talk and and negotiate. Because war in the
[00:13:15] the 21st century is nonsense. And And modern war is presenting a whole
[00:13:19] whole new set of challenges for those those fighting it. Warnings of attacks
[00:13:23] attacks like this are usually sent sent to an app that many Ukrainians
[00:13:25] Ukrainians use. But last night it it appears to have been hacked, sending
[00:13:29] sending dire warnings of fighting fighting in the streets of an impending
[00:13:33] impending chemical weapons attack, attack, even of a nuclear strike.
[00:13:37] strike. None of it was real. And And on the streets of Kyiv, people
[00:13:41] people seem to have taken it in their
[00:13:44] their stride. On the one hand, you
[00:13:47] you can laugh about it, but on the the other they were able to hack
[00:13:51] hack the programme, but it did not not trigger the kind of reaction
[00:13:54] reaction in society that they expected. expected. Speaking at a meeting in
[00:13:58] in Brussels, the UK's Defence Secretary Secretary warned the hack was part
[00:14:01] part of a wider threat. We don't
[00:14:03] don't yet know who is behind this
[00:14:06] this particular cyber attack in Ukraine. Ukraine. We'll follow those developments
[00:14:09] developments closely. But what we're we're in no doubt about is that right
[00:14:12] right across Europe we have seen,
[00:14:15] seen, you know, these hybrid or state
[00:14:17] state sponsored terrorist attacks attacks driven by Moscow. But it's
[00:14:21] it's also reported that a similar similar message was sent to Russians,
[00:14:24] Russians, which apparently read risk risk things could get lively. Don't
[00:14:28] Don't worry. Nuclear warheads have have been launched at all regions
[00:14:31] regions of Russia. It's not yet confirmed
[00:14:34] confirmed who was behind either message message back with the rescue teams
[00:14:37] teams in Kherson and what was the the most successful ceasefire of
[00:14:40] of the war has now come to an end.
[00:14:42] end. The realities of conflict in
[00:14:45] in the 21st century once again upon
[00:14:47] upon those who live through it, Joe
[00:14:50] Joe Inwood, BBC News. Dozens of supermarkets
[00:14:54] supermarkets across Sweden, Belgium, Belgium, Luxembourg and Ireland have
[00:14:57] have reported problems with their their refrigeration systems and it's
[00:15:00] it's all because of a suspected cyber cyber attack. We've had these pictures
[00:15:04] pictures in from the Belgian supermarket supermarket Delhaize, the refrigeration
[00:15:07] refrigeration systems at more than than 40 of their supermarkets were
[00:15:10] were disrupted by what the company company called an IT incident. The
[00:15:14] The fridge temperatures increased increased overnight so that hot air
[00:15:17] air was blowing into the freezers, freezers, spoiling the food inside.
[00:15:20] inside. Let's speak to our senior senior technology reporter Shiona
[00:15:23] Shiona McCallum, who joins us now. now. Shona, what do we know about
[00:15:26] about this? What's going on? Yes.
[00:15:28] Yes. Well, we now know that six countries countries have been affected by this
[00:15:32] this hack. You've got Belgium, Luxembourg,
[00:15:34] Luxembourg, Sweden, Ireland, Estonia Estonia and Finland. Supermarkets.
[00:15:38] Supermarkets. They're saying that that it's mainly their fridge freezers freezers that have been affected.
[00:15:42] affected. And that has caused a lot
[00:15:43] lot of the units to defrost and leaving
[00:15:47] leaving a lot of food spoilt. So
[00:15:48] So workers arriving at work coming
[00:15:51] coming into a lot of chaos. This This morning we've heard in Belgium.
[00:15:55] Belgium. That's the worst affected affected around 40 Delhaize stores
[00:15:59] stores 15 Carrefour stores in Ireland,
[00:16:02] Ireland, 13 SuperValu stores and and reports now coming in from Finland
[00:16:05] Finland as well. This follows last
[00:16:07] last month when in France we saw
[00:16:10] saw over 700 stores affected in the the same way. Yeah, we're looking
[00:16:13] looking at millions of dollars in
[00:16:15] in losses here or euros in many cases
[00:16:18] cases shown. Any idea who or what
[00:16:20] what could be behind this? So we we don't know who's behind it. But
[00:16:24] But what we are seeing is similarities similarities of what happened in
[00:16:27] in France. And there we saw that
[00:16:31] that because a lot of these fridge fridge freezers are now connected
[00:16:34] connected to the internet, there there are vulnerabilities that hackers
[00:16:36] hackers can exploit. A lot of those
[00:16:38] those were made by the Danish company
[00:16:41] company Danfoss. And today we see
[00:16:43] see those same manufacturers being
[00:16:45] being involved. So hackers can get get into those vulnerabilities and
[00:16:49] and they can start tampering with with the system. And of course, you
[00:16:52] you know, changing the temperature temperature causes all sorts of problems.
[00:16:56] problems. Johanna, thank you so much.
[00:17:02] much. Some breaking news to bring bring you now from here in the UK.
[00:17:05] UK. The Labour Party has just announced announced they will stop corporation
[00:17:08] corporation and power sharing with with the Green Party in 11 local
[00:17:12] local authorities. The Green Party Party adopting a controversial motion
[00:17:16] motion at their party conference conference earlier this year that
[00:17:19] that stated that Zionism is racism. racism. The Labour Party strongly
[00:17:23] strongly disagrees with this. Let's Let's take you to Nomia Iqbal, who
[00:17:27] who joins us now from Westminster.
[00:17:29] Westminster. Nomia tell us more.
[00:17:32] more. Yes, Lucy. So the Labour Party Party had been threatened to end
[00:17:35] end power sharing with the Green Green Party following the adoption
[00:17:39] adoption of this motion. Just to to remind, it was adopted, as you
[00:17:42] you mentioned there at the party
[00:17:44] party conference. That was despite
[00:17:46] despite opposition from four of the
[00:17:48] the party's MPs and they adopted
[00:17:51] adopted to declare Zionism is a form form of racism. But the motion also
[00:17:55] also called for a single democratic
[00:17:57] democratic Palestinian state across across historic Palestine, effectively
[00:18:01] effectively rejecting the traditional traditional two-state solution. And And that sparked huge controversy.
[00:18:05] controversy. The Green Party's leader
[00:18:07] leader Zack Polanski said himself
[00:18:09] himself that he would like to amend
[00:18:12] amend the policy, but will not overturn overturn the decision made by the
[00:18:15] the party. And so this led to Labour
[00:18:18] Labour drawing the line. And today today we've seen that line. So just
[00:18:21] just to give you more details, they
[00:18:24] they have stopped. They said they they will stop formally working with
[00:18:26] with the Greens across 11 local authorities.
[00:18:29] authorities. The chair of the Labour Labour Party, Bridget Phillipson, Phillipson, let me just quote to
[00:18:32] to you a little bit of what she said. said. She said local power sharing
[00:18:35] sharing cannot come at the expense
[00:18:36] expense of upholding the moral obligation.
[00:18:39] obligation. We have to stand up for for everyone in our communities and
[00:18:43] and the values we share. Labour said
[00:18:46] said that there are local agreements agreements in place in 18 authorities.
[00:18:49] authorities. Of those, Labour said
[00:18:51] said 11 had not met the criteria
[00:18:54] criteria they had demanded in terms terms of, you know, what kind of
[00:18:56] of impact that could have. We've We've yet to see that there are,
[00:19:00] are, you know, lots of parties that that might have to negotiate and
[00:19:04] and how power is shared in different different councils. Could it be that
[00:19:07] that a you know, some operate as
[00:19:10] as a minority council? We don't know
[00:19:13] know yet. But as I say this was something
[00:19:15] something that Labour had threatened threatened following the adoption
[00:19:19] adoption of that policy. And today today they have made it clear they've
[00:19:22] they've drawn that line. Naomi, thank
[00:19:24] thank you so much, King Charles is
[00:19:26] is expected to speak on the lasting lasting pain of the transatlantic
[00:19:29] transatlantic slave trade. In a speech speech addressing Commonwealth leaders,
[00:19:33] leaders, the monarchs left drenched drenched and without an umbrella
[00:19:36] umbrella when a torrential downpour downpour interrupted celebrations celebrations of Antigua and Barbuda's
[00:19:40] Barbuda's Independence Day on Sunday. Sunday. Queen Camilla swiftly given
[00:19:43] given a brolly when the rain started. started. The King, though really
[00:19:46] really gesturing, trying to say I I need one as well. It comes at the
[00:19:49] the end of a nine day tour of the the Caribbean that has thrust King
[00:19:53] King Charles into this very difficult difficult debate over the UK's colonial
[00:19:57] colonial legacy. Between the years
[00:19:59] years 1500 and 1800 British ships ships forcibly transported around
[00:20:03] around 3.4 million people from Africa
[00:20:05] Africa to European colonies and plantations.
[00:20:08] plantations. Sean Dilley reports.
[00:20:13] reports. Let's bring you more. Actually
[00:20:14] Actually not from Sean. Here's Lauren
[00:20:17] Lauren Moss. The King and Queen received
[00:20:21] received a warm welcome at Antigua Antigua and Barbuda's annual Independence
[00:20:25] Independence Day parade, but it soon
[00:20:28] soon became a very wet one when the the heavens opened, torrential rain
[00:20:32] rain prompted Queen Camilla to quickly quickly turn and ask for an umbrella,
[00:20:35] umbrella, before then making a swift swift exit, leaving her husband empty
[00:20:39] empty handed and calling for an umbrella umbrella of his own. After perhaps
[00:20:43] perhaps considering seeking shelter shelter to King Charles braved the
[00:20:46] the downpour, eventually was given given an umbrella and continued the
[00:20:50] the celebrations. Somewhat drenched, drenched, he took the time to make
[00:20:52] make a joke about it with the country's country's Prime Minister, Gaston
[00:20:55] Gaston Browne. I think I'm about
[00:20:57] about to be awarded to somebody.
[00:21:00] somebody. Yeah, so I think. Damp
[00:21:02] Damp but reunited the King and Queen's Queen's appearance delighted some
[00:21:06] some spectators. This is history history in the making. And so to
[00:21:10] to see the King do this in the rain,
[00:21:12] rain, that's amazing. But pressure pressure is growing among Commonwealth
[00:21:16] Commonwealth leaders for the King King to apologise for Britain's role
[00:21:19] role in the transatlantic slave trade. trade. Neither the royal family nor
[00:21:23] nor the British government have ever ever formally apologised. But King
[00:21:27] King Charles has often spoken about about what he describes as the darkest
[00:21:31] darkest days of history. It is only
[00:21:33] only right that we should acknowledge
[00:21:35] acknowledge the great suffering and
[00:21:37] and injustices of the past in these
[00:21:40] these islands and beyond, even as
[00:21:42] as we rejoice in the successes of
[00:21:44] of the present and build new opportunities
[00:21:47] opportunities for the future. Commonwealth Commonwealth leaders say that future
[00:21:50] future depends on making amends for for the past and have a ten-point
[00:21:54] ten-point plan for investing reparations reparations in public health and
[00:21:57] and education. Would be. Payments Payments over the next ten years
[00:22:00] years could be payments over the the next 20 years. Could be payments
[00:22:04] payments over the next 30 years.
[00:22:05] years. These are things that can
[00:22:08] can be negotiated within Andy Burnham's
[00:22:11] Burnham's offer of a structured dialogue. dialogue. The Prime Minister, Andy
[00:22:15] Andy Burnham, who is travelling to to the Commonwealth Summit in Antigua
[00:22:18] Antigua and Barbuda today, expressed expressed sorrow and regret for the
[00:22:21] the suffering of many millions in in an article in the Guardian this
[00:22:24] this weekend, but ruled out financial financial reparations. He wrote I
[00:22:27] I do not think that British people people today can be held liable for
[00:22:31] for historical wrongs, however heinous heinous that happened in a different
[00:22:35] different age, under different laws laws and in which they played no
[00:22:38] no personal part. The guilty free free the innocent. But the matter
[00:22:41] matter is expected to dominate the the leaders meeting tomorrow, as
[00:22:45] as it has for much of the King's
[00:22:47] King's nine day tour of the Caribbean.
[00:22:50] Caribbean. Lauren Moss, BBC News. News. Well, here at home in the UK,
[00:22:53] UK, the Home Secretary will announce announce later today how she wants
[00:22:56] wants to revise immigration rules
[00:22:57] rules for legal migrants after facing facing criticism in her own party
[00:23:01] party for her plans to extend the
[00:23:02] the wait for permanent residency. residency. Now an indefinite leave
[00:23:06] leave to remain in the UK. It's understood understood that Shabana Mahmood will
[00:23:09] will now include an exemption for for most of those currently working
[00:23:13] working in social care. Here's our our political correspondent with
[00:23:16] with what we can expect in that statement statement later today. Here's Harry
[00:23:19] Harry Farley. Well, we. Know that that Shabana Mahmood will announce
[00:23:23] announce some form. Of watering down down of what she originally proposed
[00:23:26] proposed a year ago to a greater greater or lesser extent. We'll find
[00:23:29] find out the details of when she she gives that statement in the Commons Commons later this afternoon. But
[00:23:32] But just to remind you what she originally
[00:23:36] originally wanted to extend the weight weight that someone could before
[00:23:39] before someone could apply for a a permanent settlement here from
[00:23:42] from five years to ten years, but but on a sort of sliding scale. So
[00:23:45] So if you were a higher earner, you you could apply for settlements here
[00:23:48] here more quickly. If you were a a lower earner, including those on
[00:23:51] on social care visas, you would have have to wait longer to 15 years.
[00:23:55] years. And as you mentioned, the the BBC understands that there will will be some sort of carve out for
[00:23:59] for social care workers. But remember, remember, one of the main reasons
[00:24:02] reasons to do this was to prevent prevent those large numbers of people
[00:24:06] people who arrived when Boris Johnson Johnson was Prime Minister from claiming
[00:24:09] claiming settlements here in the
[00:24:11] the next year or two. But one of of the big objections that lots of
[00:24:15] of Labour MPs have had is retrospectively
[00:24:18] retrospectively applying it to those those already here. Now cabinet.
[00:24:21] cabinet. Shabana Mahmood, Cabinet Cabinet Minister Angela Rayner has
[00:24:24] has said that's changing the goalposts goalposts years down the line. So
[00:24:27] So whatever we hear this afternoon afternoon about the changes, if that
[00:24:30] that retrospective element applies, applies, that is likely to be opposed
[00:24:34] opposed by some Labour MPs. A spokesperson spokesperson for the Prime Minister
[00:24:37] Minister said this morning the government's government's position will be one one that balances fairness for those
[00:24:41] those who came here legally and fairness
[00:24:43] fairness to British citizens across across the country. History was made

[00:25:24] isn't always easy. Antonelli, though though safely through the first half
[00:25:27] half of the race, displaying the the type of skill he learned as a
[00:25:30] a six-year-old back home in Bologna.
[00:25:33] Bologna. For a nation obsessed with
[00:25:35] with speed, Italy has had to wait
[00:25:37] wait more than 70 years for a Formula
[00:25:39] Formula One world champion. Alberto Alberto Ascari driving for Ferrari
[00:25:42] Ferrari was the last man to do so.
[00:25:44] so. But now he's joined by Antonelli, Antonelli, who, after a dramatic
