00:01:06You're watching News Day and we start with Saudi Arabia, where the
00:01:10the international airport in the the capital Riyadh remains closed closed after coming under attack
00:01:14attack for a second consecutive day day on Sunday. Saudi officials say
00:01:18say a projectile hit a passenger passenger hall at the King Khalid
00:01:22Khalid International Airport, sparking sparking a fire and killing one person.
00:01:25person. A day earlier, a separate separate attack on the same airport
00:01:28airport killed 13 people, marking marking the deadliest single attack
00:01:30attack on a Gulf country since the the start of the US-Iran war. The
00:01:34The Houthis in Yemen said they were were behind the attacks and warned
00:01:38warned airlines and passengers against against using Saudi Arabian airports
00:01:41airports and airspace. Here's our our correspondent Joe Inwood. May
00:01:44May I have your attention, please?
00:01:48please? This in the. Chaos at one
00:01:51one of Saudi Arabia's most important
00:01:53important airports. Inside the terminal,
00:01:55terminal, the damage is clear. The
00:01:57The result of a missile strike. More
00:02:00More than 300 people injured. Emergency
00:02:02Emergency services are said to be
00:02:05be overwhelmed. The Houthis have have claimed responsibility not just
00:02:08just for this attack but for this
00:02:10this one. Last Thursday at the same
00:02:13same airport as well as one at a
00:02:14a state run gas plant with the help
00:02:18help of Almighty God, the armed forces
00:02:19forces carried out for qualitative qualitative operations over the past
00:02:23past 24 hours using a number of ballistic ballistic and winged missiles as
00:02:27as well as drones. The first operation operation targeted King Khalid Airport
00:02:30Airport in Riyadh. The second operation
00:02:32operation targeted an Aramco gas
00:02:35gas plant. The Iran-backed group
00:02:37group control large parts of Yemen.
00:02:39Yemen. Saudi Arabia's strategically strategically significant southern southern neighbour. For more than
00:02:43than a decade, the Houthis have been been involved in a brutal civil war
00:02:47war with the internationally recognised recognised government, which has
00:02:50has Saudi backing. Now, for the last last couple of years, there's been
00:02:53been an uneasy truce. But that was
00:02:56was shattered in recent months. The The Houthis made lightning advances
00:02:59advances down the Red Sea coast last
00:03:01last month, giving them an even greater greater ability to threaten shipping
00:03:05shipping in the Red Sea. Now Saudi
00:03:07Saudi Arabia responded with air strikes
00:03:10strikes and with the government recently recently retook some territory. The
00:03:13The Houthi response to that could
00:03:15could be seen at Riyadh airport from
00:03:19from the US President. Condemnation Condemnation of the attack, but no
00:03:22no promise of support. I think it's
00:03:25it's terrible, terrible. The Saudis Saudis table is south southwest.
00:03:29southwest. Well, they're able to to defend look, the Saudis are good
00:03:32good fighters. But I think the attack attack was a terrible thing. This
00:03:35This attack was one of the most severe
00:03:37severe on Saudi soil in over a decade.
00:03:40decade. Some of those killed are are now being identified, one of
00:03:43of them, Bothinaa Awada, was a mother mother of four from Syria. She was
00:03:47was a victim of a conflict she had
00:03:49had no part in, but that seems to
00:03:52to be escalating dangerously. Joe
00:03:55Joe Inwood, BBC News. Meanwhile, Meanwhile, there's new CCTV video
00:03:58video of Saturday's strike and a a warning it is distressing now this
00:04:01this footage is coming to us from from Al Arabiya, a media organisation
00:04:05organisation funded by the Saudi Saudi government. We paused the video
00:04:07video at the moment of impact before before an explosion tears through
00:04:11through the airport hall as people people run to shelter. The BBC has
00:04:14has not independently verified the the video. It's been obtained by
00:04:17by multiple news agencies including including AFP and Reuters. Well, Well, joining me for more on this
00:04:21this is Ben and Ben Taleblu, a senior senior director at the Iran programme
00:04:25programme at the Foundation for Defence Defence of Democracies. Benham, what's
00:04:28what's your read then on what we've we've been seeing play out over the
00:04:31the last 48 hours? This escalation escalation resulting in Saudi Arabia's
00:04:34Arabia's airport being struck. Great Great to be with you, Steve. And
00:04:38And listen, this is indeed, as you you mentioned, a marked escalation
00:04:42escalation in the Saudi-Houthi conflict conflict but also a marked escalation
00:04:45escalation in this larger Multi-front Multi-front region wide Iran war. war. And that's really the perspective
00:04:49perspective to keep these operations operations in. If we remember just
00:04:52just a few weeks ago, I think three three weeks ago in response to the
00:04:55the sanctioning of most of Iran's Iran's aviation sector and all of
00:04:59of its commercial airlines, the chief chief of Iran's Supreme National
00:05:03National Security Council threatened threatened airports and airfare across
00:05:07across the region, saying that no no other country's airports would
00:05:09would be safe. And now we see the the regime's proxy in the region
00:05:12region on the southern part of the the Arabian Peninsula, the Houthis
00:05:15Houthis in Yemen, equipped and armed armed with Iranian short range and
00:05:18and medium range ballistic missiles, missiles, as well as copies of land
00:05:21land attack cruise missiles and one one way attack drones, striking civilian
00:05:24civilian airports. Now, for sure sure this isn't the first civilian civilian airport that the Houthis
00:05:28Houthis have hit. And if the conflict conflict continues, it won't be the
00:05:30the last. But make no mistake, there there is co-ordination and intonation
00:05:34intonation between patron and proxy proxy here, and we have to see this
00:05:38this marked escalation coming as as the Islamic Republic is looking
00:05:41looking for leverage in what it believes believes is going to be another round
00:05:45round potentially from America or or Israel directly against it. Yeah.
00:05:48Yeah. So where does this leave the the United States then? I mean, they've they've been it's all been quite
00:05:51quite quiet between them and Iran Iran so far over the last few weeks
00:05:54weeks or so. But, you know, are they they going to get involved? We know
00:05:57know that Saudi Arabia and the US
00:05:59US do have a relationship. Certainly Certainly in Saudi Arabia and the
00:06:02the US do have a relationship. The The million dollar question is what
00:06:05what is that relationship going to to look like and how is it going
00:06:08going to bear fruit against the Houthis? Houthis? Or is America keeping its
00:06:10its powder dry to deal with the patron,
00:06:13patron, the Islamic Republic over over in Iran? There were reports
00:06:16reports and grumblings. I think just just a few weeks ago about Saudi
00:06:19Saudi Israeli contacts. Would there there be potential intelligence sharing
00:06:22sharing or ISR against the Houthis? Houthis? That's an open question.
00:06:25question. How does the fact that that Saudi Arabia is still dealing
00:06:29dealing with a Gulf co-operation co-operation Council that is still still kaleidoscopic, even with the
00:06:33the UAE with whom it collaborates collaborates and competes with, given
00:06:36given any different day here and and also, perhaps most importantly,
00:06:40importantly, if America doesn't support support the Saudis militarily, will
00:06:43will the Saudis look to what they've they've recently signed, meaning
00:06:46meaning this pact with the Turks Turks and the Pakistanis? So a lot
00:06:49lot more questions than answers here. here. And Saudis right now looking
00:06:52looking for what is their best bet bet against both patron and proxy.
00:06:56proxy. Is there a risk that this this could escalate further, that
00:06:59that more countries could be drawn
00:07:02drawn in? Precisely. There is there's there's a geographic risk of escalation,
00:07:05escalation, different civilian targets targets within Saudi Arabia, different
00:07:08different countries, as you mentioned, mentioned, a different domain from from the land to the maritime domain.
00:07:12domain. If the Houthis choose to to double down on the Red Sea. And
00:07:15And then there's also escalation escalation in terms of tools and
00:07:19and targets, different weapons that that Iran backed proxies could employ.
00:07:21employ. You're seeing the Saudi as as you're seeing the Iran-backed Iran-backed Houthis right now in
00:07:25in Yemen, employ the full spectrum spectrum of unmanned aerial threats
00:07:28threats low tier, mid-tier and high high tier one way drones, cruise
00:07:32cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. missiles. So unless they have something
00:07:35something else up their sleeve or or switch to a different domain, domain, I think when we're talking
00:07:39talking about escalation, it has has to be defined as intensity of
00:07:42of more of the same. Benham, thanks thanks very much for your thoughts
00:07:45thoughts as always, Ben. Ben Taleblu, Taleblu, senior director of the Iran
00:07:48Iran programme at the Foundation Foundation for Defence of Democracies.
00:07:51Democracies. I just want to quickly quickly show you this live map then
00:07:54then of air traffic in the region region after those attacks on the
00:07:58the King Khalid International Airport. Airport. You can see there is a lot
00:08:01lot of movement happening in the the airspace just over Riyadh at
00:08:04at the moment with planes diverting
00:08:07diverting around it. Now Ukraine Ukraine is accusing Russia of attacking
00:08:10attacking power plants and civilian civilian areas despite a so-called
00:08:13so-called energy cease fire proposed proposed by the US President Donald
00:08:16Donald Trump. Mr Trump has claimed claimed that Moscow and Kyiv have
00:08:19have agreed to halt attacks on energy energy infrastructure. Ukrainian
00:08:23Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Zelensky initially expressed surprise surprise at the announcement, saying
00:08:27saying it was news to him before before agreeing to support it if
00:08:30if Moscow did. The Kremlin has yet yet to comment. It comes a couple
00:08:33couple of days after the US President President said he was lifting sanctions
00:08:36sanctions on Russian diesel. Our Our Ukraine correspondent Dan Johnson
00:08:39Johnson sent this report from Kyiv
00:08:41Kyiv on the. Edge of Kharkiv this
00:08:45this evening. A reminder Russia has
00:08:49has not stopped attacking Ukraine.
00:08:53Ukraine. This woman was filming after
00:08:55after the sirens asking where would
00:08:58would be hit. She was lucky to survive
00:09:00survive a strike on a shop that killed
00:09:03killed three people and injured more
00:09:05more than 20. This just hours after
00:09:09after Donald Trump announced his
00:09:10his partial truce on Truth Social.
00:09:13Social. He wrote effective immediately, immediately, there is an energy ceasefire
00:09:17ceasefire in the war between Russia Russia and Ukraine. Both parties
00:09:21parties have agreed. Do not break
00:09:24break it. Ukraine's been targeting
00:09:27targeting Russian oil refineries refineries in response to attacks
00:09:30attacks on its own power grid. Ukraine Ukraine said it was ready to cease
00:09:33cease if Russia did the same. But But Donald Trump's announcement appeared
00:09:37appeared to come as a surprise to
00:09:39to President Zelensky. Ukraine is
00:09:43is ready to refrain from striking striking Russia's energy infrastructure,
00:09:46infrastructure, and we expect Russia Russia to show the same readiness
00:09:49readiness and honour the agreement agreement reached with the President
00:09:52President of the United States. He
00:09:55He better damn well stop. It's been
00:09:57been a tense weekend of fractured
00:10:00fractured US Ukraine relations. I I suggest they get a new leader who
00:10:04who can make a deal. The row started
00:10:07started when Donald Trump lifted lifted export restrictions on Russian
00:10:10Russian diesel. Many believe to ease
00:10:12ease fuel prices driven up by the
00:10:14the war in Iran. In Kyiv, the streets
00:10:19streets have fallen dark and quiet
00:10:22quiet as its power network has been
00:10:24been pounded. Many people here are are without light, heat or water
00:10:28water because electricity is needed needed to pump it. Ukrainians were
00:10:31were braced for a very difficult difficult few months ahead into the
00:10:34the winter, so there's a lot riding riding on this ceasefire. But even
00:10:37even if it holds, the war is not
00:10:41not over. And that was hammered home
00:10:45home tonight with more drones heading
00:10:46heading for the capital. In less
00:10:50less than two hours in this was Kharkiv's
00:10:52Kharkiv's main power station tonight
00:10:54tonight ablaze and leaving Ukrainians Ukrainians questioning what impact
00:10:57impact this cease fire will have. have. I spoke to Sonia Mycak, a research
00:11:01research fellow in Ukrainian studies studies at the Australian National National University, and she said
00:11:04said Russia's continued attacks suggest suggest it is not serious about a
00:11:07a ceasefire. Firstly, Ukraine itself itself didn't know anything about
00:11:10about this cease fire but has agreed
00:11:14agreed to uphold any ceasefire that that would be in place. But we see
00:11:18see Russia continuing to attack and
00:11:20and in fact it's in keeping with
00:11:23with the fact that even hours after
00:11:25after President Trump announced his
00:11:28his deal to purchase Russian diesel diesel Zaporizhzhia was attacked
00:11:31attacked and 20 people were killed killed within hours of that. So there's
00:11:34there's no sign that Russia is actually
00:11:37actually willing to engage in any any kind of ceasefire. When President
00:11:41President Trump says that Ukraine Ukraine should get themselves a new new president and lift sanctions
00:11:45sanctions on Russian diesel, critics critics might wonder whose side he's
00:11:48he's on. Well, I think that unfortunately,
00:11:51unfortunately, there doesn't seem seem to be any doubt on whose side
00:11:54side he's on right now. I mean, really
00:11:58really calling for elections. Yes, Yes, we've heard this before. We've We've heard Zelensky respond to this
00:12:02this before. He's immediately said said they'd give us 60 days of complete
00:12:06complete ceasefire and that will will be arranged. Although to be be honest, I don't know whether it
00:12:09it could be arranged. I mean, there there are many, many barriers to
00:12:11to having an election right now under under martial law. But in general
00:12:15general this diesel deal is a betrayal betrayal and it's a betrayal not
00:12:18not only of Ukraine, but it's actually
00:12:20actually a betrayal of American foreign
00:12:23foreign policy and European allies. allies. I mean, both Europe and America
00:12:27America have really based their reaction
00:12:32reaction on economic sanctions, on
00:12:34on reducing the income of the Putin
00:12:36Putin regime so that it cannot continue
00:12:40continue to build weapons, buy weapons
00:12:42weapons and murder Ukrainians. So So really, President Trump's action
00:12:46action here is a betrayal of everything everything that stands for. In India.
00:12:49India. Leaders of the country's youth youth led Cockroach movement have
00:12:53have been released from detention, detention, but have vowed to continue continue protests in Delhi demanding
00:12:56demanding the resignation of a top top election official over a revision
00:12:59revision of voter lists that they they say disproportionately benefits
00:13:02benefits the ruling party. Protests Protests continued on Sunday, with
00:13:05with demonstrators vastly outnumbered outnumbered by security personnel.
00:13:08personnel. The BBC witnessed numerous numerous detentions as police moved
00:13:10moved to break up gatherings and and restrictions remained in place
00:13:13place across parts of central Delhi. Delhi. Our BBC correspondent Arunoday
00:13:17Arunoday Mukharji sent us this report
00:13:18report from Delhi on Sunday. We heard
00:13:22heard the first press conference conference from the Cockroach Janta Janta Party after its leaders, who
00:13:25who had been kept in detention for for nearly 24 hours, were released.
00:13:28released. They reiterated their demand demand for the resignation of the
00:13:31the Chief Election Commissioner and and also criticised the way in which
00:13:35which their leaders were detained detained and several other protesters
00:13:37protesters to the tune of thousands thousands had been detained. We have
00:13:40have seen sporadic protests in pockets pockets in different parts of the
00:13:43the city taking place. There are are some congregations but they are
00:13:47are quickly intervened by the police police and then they are picked up, up, detained, taken in vans to other
00:13:50other places, which is why you're you're still seeing this level of of security take place. Barricading
00:13:54Barricading in several parts continue. continue. You've got traffic restrictions
00:13:58restrictions as well and essentially essentially ensuring that no protesters
00:14:02protesters can go to places where where they intend to protest. But But the other parts of Delhi, you
00:14:05you can see traffic very much as as usual. It's a regular day in Delhi.
00:14:09Delhi. So central parts of Delhi Delhi still remain relatively affected.
00:14:12affected. What happens next? Well, Well, the Cockroach Janta Party made
00:14:15made it very clear that this battle battle has only just begun. They
00:14:19They haven't announced a next date date for protest, but they essentially
00:14:21essentially urged everyone to carry carry out protesting in other parts
00:14:25parts of the country in whatever whatever manner they can. Let's take
00:14:28take a look at some other stories
00:14:29stories in the headlines. Eight orangutans orangutans have been released back
00:14:33back into the wild in Borneo after after they were taken into captivity,
00:14:36captivity, when their habitat was was threatened by wildfires over
00:14:39over the summer. Three mothers, their
00:14:41their three daughters and two adult adult males have been freed in the
00:14:45the reserve in the west of the island, island, according to Indonesia's
00:14:48Indonesia's forestry ministry said said authorities rescued 46 orangutans
00:14:52orangutans from fires in August and and September. Wildfires in the region
00:14:55region are usually are usual for for the country's dry season, but
00:14:59but intensified this year. Malaysian Malaysian airline Firefly has cancelled
00:15:03cancelled all flights between Singapore's Singapore's Seletar Airport and Subang,
00:15:06Subang, near Kuala Lumpur, because because of the haze. The cancellations
00:15:09cancellations affect six return services services a day through Monday. Passengers
00:15:12Passengers are being offered alternative alternative flights via Changi and
00:15:15and Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Airport, subject to availability availability or a full refund. The
00:15:19The disruption comes as air quality quality remains unhealthy across
00:15:22across Singapore and parts of Malaysia.
00:15:25Malaysia. More to come here on News News Day, including fresh floods
00:15:28floods in Nepal, sweeping away houses,
00:15:31houses, bridges and damaging hydropower hydropower infrastructure
00:16:33latest news, interviews, results results and goals as we follow every every twist of the Premier League
00:16:37League season here on BBC News. In
00:16:44In Nepal, a flash flood has left
00:16:45left at least five people missing
00:16:48missing more than 140 houses have have been damaged either fully or
00:16:51or partially, while bridges and hydropower hydropower infrastructure have been
00:16:54been swept away. Officials suspect
00:16:55suspect a landslide blocked the Budhi
00:16:58Budhi Gandaki River before the water water burst through a more than 90
00:17:0290 people, including nine foreigners, foreigners, have been rescued so so far, a disaster management official
00:17:06official says. SMS alerts helped helped avert a much greater loss
00:17:09loss of life. The country remains remains on high alert seven weeks
00:17:12weeks after devastating floods swept swept away thousands of people following
00:17:15following a glacial glacier collapse collapse along the border with Tibet.
00:17:18Tibet. I spoke to Ayush Joshi director director of advocacy campaigns and
00:17:22and communications at Save the Children Children in Nepal, and he said access
00:17:26access remains a major challenge. challenge. Yes, it is the devastating
00:17:29devastating floods struck northern northern Gorkha district sweeping,
00:17:32sweeping, sweeping away homes, bridges bridges and hydropower construction
00:17:36construction camp. The full extent extent of the damage and casualty
00:17:39casualty is still being assessed. assessed. Access remains a major
00:17:43major challenge. Floods and landslides landslides have disrupted roads.
00:17:46roads. Several bridges have been been washed away, making it very
00:17:50very difficult to transport relief relief supplies. Save the children
00:17:53children is responding to this crisis crisis and we are co-ordinating very
00:17:56very closely with the governments governments and the local partners
00:17:59partners to reach impacted children children and families as quickly
00:18:01quickly and safely as possible. Together Together with local partners, we
00:18:05we have mobilised and dispatched dispatched essential relief supplies
00:18:09supplies including tarpaulins, blankets,
00:18:12blankets, mosquito nets, hygiene hygiene and dignity kits. We also
00:18:15also very deeply concerned about about children's protection, particularly
00:18:18particularly for girls and women women because they're forced to stay
00:18:21stay in temporary shelters or out
00:18:23out in the open without proper access
00:18:26access to water, sanitation and basic basic necessities. And we are co-ordinating
00:18:30co-ordinating with the government government and other humanitarian humanitarian actors to identify emerging
00:18:34emerging needs and support recovery recovery beyond what is required
00:18:37required right now. Yeah, it does does seem like there are a lot of of challenges that are being faced.
00:18:41faced. This is the third such flash flash flood we've seen. We saw that
00:18:45that huge one seven weeks ago. Does Does Nepal have the resources to
00:18:48to cope with all of this? To be very
00:18:52very honest, you know, like given given the multiple disasters that
00:18:55that we are facing right now, the
00:18:58the governments, organisations like like us are also super stretched.
00:19:02stretched. And one thing that we we also need to realise is Nepal
00:19:05Nepal has experienced multiple floods floods and other disasters within
00:19:08within a very short period of time, time, and it has created a lot of
00:19:12of anxiety and children and families
00:19:16families impacted as this recurring recurring disaster does not even
00:19:18even give them time to recover. The
00:19:21The August floods affected communities communities in the same district,
00:19:25district, although the areas affected affected this time are different,
00:19:27different, these overlapping emergencies emergencies are putting immense pressure
00:19:31pressure on the government's capacity capacity to respond and are also
00:19:35also strained resources for many many humanitarian organisations.
00:19:38organisations. That's why Save the the Children is calling upon donors
00:19:41donors and leaders for greater investment investment in disaster preparedness.
00:19:45preparedness. Effective early warning
00:19:47warning systems to save life, safer safer infrastructure and climate
00:19:50climate resilient schools and buildings.
00:19:53buildings. Because one thing that that these multiple disasters prove
00:19:56prove is that children and communities communities must have the information,
00:20:00information, resources and time they they need to prepare for disasters
00:20:03disasters and evacuate safely. And And that is what Save the Children
00:20:06Children is doing right now. So we
00:20:09we do need flexible, timely funding
00:20:11funding that allows us to respond
00:20:13respond to these emerging needs and
00:20:15and sustain support beyond the initial
00:20:18initial emergency. Polio made a surprise surprise health announcement on Sunday,
00:20:22Sunday, saying he'll undergo surgery surgery to remove a small lung nodule. nodule. The Pope said the nodule,
00:20:26nodule, which usually refers to a a lump or tissue growth, was detected
00:20:29detected at a very early stage during during a routine medical check up.
00:20:32up. The Vatican said. The operation operation is scheduled for the first
00:20:35first days of this week, and the the estimated post-operative recovery
00:20:38recovery time will be about one week. week. Our Rome correspondent Sarah
00:20:41Sarah Rainsford has more. Yeah, as as you say, a real surprise, of course, course, for everybody who had gathered
00:20:45gathered here on Saint Peter's Square Square at midday today. That's when
00:20:48when Catholics come here to see the
00:20:51the Pope, to have a blessing by the
00:20:53the Pope from the balcony here. After
00:20:55After that, though, the Pope then then delivered this announcement, announcement, as you say, a big shock
00:20:59shock for those who were listening. listening. He said that he had had
00:21:02had medical checks and that doctors doctors had discovered a nodule on
00:21:05on his lung. Now, he said, as he he put it, that this had been detected
00:21:08detected at a very early stage and and was well localised, but that
00:21:12that doctors had advised him he should should have it removed. So he is
00:21:15is going to have surgery and that that will take place in the next
00:21:17next few days here in Rome. The Vatican
00:21:20Vatican is not giving many more details details than that, just saying that
00:21:23that it will take him about a week week to recover from the surgery surgery itself. We do know that nodules
00:21:27nodules like this are relatively relatively common and that usually
00:21:30usually they're not cancerous. But But certainly I think Catholics around around the world are concerned are
00:21:34are watching this news very closely. closely. I think in particular, because
00:21:38because this is a relatively young young Pope. He's in his early 70s. 70s. He goes to the gym, he likes
00:21:42likes playing tennis. He's always always been thought of as fit and
00:21:45and as healthy. And this is the first
00:21:47first health scare that he's had
00:21:49had since he was elected last year. year. One encouraging note, I think,
00:21:52think, was perhaps his tone as he he made that announcement. He seemed
00:21:54seemed very calm. He even smiled smiled a couple of times during the
00:21:58the statement and also he mentioned mentioned today a trip that's coming coming up in November to Peru, the
00:22:02the place where he was a missionary missionary for many years and a bishop.
00:22:05bishop. He has talked about that that with the suggestion that that
00:22:08that trip should still go ahead in in November. So perhaps encouraging encouraging news for Catholics even
00:22:12even as they absorb this. Pretty Pretty surprising and for some shocking
00:22:16shocking news. Let's take a look look at some other stories in the

00:25:15up there with the best. I think because because some they're dominating for
