00:01:11Hello and a very warm welcome to BBC News. I'm Mark Lowen both
00:01:14both Ukraine and Russia say their their emergency alert apps have been
00:01:18been hit by cyber attacks. Late on on Sunday, Ukraine warned that its
00:01:21its air alert app appeared to have have been compromised after citizens
00:01:24citizens received false notifications notifications about a nuclear and
00:01:28and other attacks. Ukraine's Centre Centre for Strategic Communications Communications blamed Russia for
00:01:32for the hack in a post on its X account. account. It showed some of the alerts
00:01:36alerts asking residents to disregard disregard any strange messages they
00:01:39they might see in the app, as well well as warnings of a radiological
00:01:42radiological threat. The false notifications notifications warned of a chemical chemical attack and even possible
00:01:46possible street fighting in Kyiv. Kyiv. Then early this morning, Russia's
00:01:50Russia's Ministry of Emergency Situations Situations said its mobile app had
00:01:53had been subjected to what it called called a massive cyber attack. Fake
00:01:57Fake warnings of nuclear strikes strikes inside Russia have reportedly
00:01:59reportedly been sent to users. Our Our Ukraine correspondent Dan Johnson
00:02:03Johnson has the latest from Kyiv. Kyiv. This is an app that many people
00:02:07people use as a back-up to the air air raid sirens that sound in the
00:02:10the streets. So it sounds an alert alert on your phone that's very much
00:02:13much like a siren going off and then then gives you some detail of what
00:02:16what the incoming threat is usually
00:02:19usually where Russian missiles or
00:02:21or drones are heading. Last night,
00:02:23night, just before 11pm local time,
00:02:25time, a series of alerts came through
00:02:27through on people's phones saying saying that there was a threat of
00:02:31of nuclear attack, chemical threat
00:02:34threat and then fighting in the streets. streets. Potential urban warfare,
00:02:38warfare, which very disturbing and and unnerved many people. But I think
00:02:41think the fact that those alerts alerts all came through within the
00:02:44the space of a few minutes perhaps perhaps suggested to most of the
00:02:47the population that something wasn't wasn't quite right with this, but but certainly it's something they've
00:02:51they've not seen before. That level level of alert coming through on
00:02:54on that system. And it took more more than an hour for an all clear
00:02:58clear message to follow, telling telling people to disregard those those messages the Air Force tried
00:03:02tried to put out a statement through through separate channels saying
00:03:05saying that there was actually no no no threat facing the population
00:03:09population anywhere in the country country on that sort of level and
00:03:12and that they should disregard that. that. The Air Force blamed enemy
00:03:16enemy interference, saying that it it was Russian hacking a cyber attack
00:03:19attack that had got into the system
00:03:21system and issued those alerts erroneously. erroneously. They've been trying
00:03:24trying to reassure people this morning
00:03:26morning that the actual air defence
00:03:29defence system has not been compromised, compromised, that this is just on
00:03:33on the public alert side of that that system, that there was no actual
00:03:36actual problem with Ukraine's air air defences last night. But certainly
00:03:39certainly this will have unnerved unnerved people and leaves open a
00:03:43a potential vulnerability in a system system that many people rely on.
00:03:45on. The authorities have been struggling struggling to keep public faith in
00:03:48in that system through the sheer sheer number of times it goes off
00:03:51off every day because of how many many attacks there are. There was
00:03:54was already a level of public fatigue
00:03:57fatigue with that because of just just how many attacks there are people people not necessarily respecting
00:04:01respecting it. So the authorities authorities already had a challenge challenge there, and they will be
00:04:04be trying to reassure people that that they can have faith in that
00:04:07that app and those alerts, that they they should be respected. Dan Johnson
00:04:11Johnson in Kyiv, the chief analyst analyst at BBC Monitoring, Vitaly
00:04:14Vitaly Shevchenko, explains the details details of what happened in the case
00:04:17case of the Russian attack. The attack
00:04:21attack that targeted Russia's emergency
00:04:24emergency systems happened within
00:04:29within hours of the presumed hacking hacking of the Ukrainian emergency
00:04:32emergency system, so it's reasonable reasonable to assume that one was
00:04:36was somehow related to the other.
00:04:40other. The other the way the announcement announcement was worded, the ones
00:04:43ones that were sent out in Russia
00:04:47Russia suggested that it might have have come from Ukraine because it
00:04:51it had some Ukrainian words in it
00:04:53it and mentioned a Ukrainian drone
00:04:56drone as well. And it used generally
00:05:01generally derogatory language aimed
00:05:03aimed at Russia. And it spoke of
00:05:06of a nuclear attack as well. I mean,
00:05:09mean, the fact that the Russians Russians are blaming the Ukrainians Ukrainians for that attack, the Ukrainians
00:05:13Ukrainians are blaming the Russians Russians for the first attack, are
00:05:17are either side actually thinking, thinking, well, maybe this came from
00:05:19from a third party, some kind of
00:05:22of cyber hack group that is enjoying
00:05:24enjoying riling both sides. Well,
00:05:27Well, clearly both Ukraine and Russia,
00:05:31Russia, they have the capability capability to do something like this.
00:05:35this. They have secret teams of hackers
00:05:37hackers working against each other.
00:05:39other. In the past, Russian hackers
00:05:42hackers have targeted Russia's energy energy system. For example. So there's
00:05:46there's a very good reason for Ukrainians
00:05:49Ukrainians to suspect the Russians
00:05:52Russians and at the moment of speaking,
00:05:54speaking, I've seen no credible evidence
00:05:57evidence that it's the Russians that
00:05:59that did it. However, it's there's there's a good reason for Russia
00:06:03Russia to do it as well as part of
00:06:06of its warfare targeting Ukrainian
00:06:10Ukrainian morale and making Ukrainians
00:06:11Ukrainians more tired of what's going
00:06:14going on, more distrustful of the
00:06:17the public air alert systems. But
00:06:21But I've had a look at the Russian Russian media and, you know, on social
00:06:24social media, there's a bit of gloating gloating here and there, which is
00:06:27is par for the course, really. But
00:06:30But I would be really, really surprised surprised if the Russians admitted
00:06:34admitted that they did it because
00:06:35because they never know. Vitaly Shevchenko

00:06:44which includes residents reactions
00:06:46reactions to the false emergency
00:06:49emergency alerts. Now the US midterm
00:06:52midterm elections are just one day
00:06:54day away. This is the scene live live in Washington, pretty dark,
00:06:57dark, of course it's just gone 5am
00:07:005am on Capitol Hill. And tomorrow tomorrow millions of voters across
00:07:03across the country will determine determine the balance of power inside
00:07:07inside that building, beneath the the lovely dome. And while the Democrats
00:07:10Democrats are widely predicted to to flip the House of Representatives, Representatives, the lower House,
00:07:13House, the Senate is still up for for grabs. And there's been a last-minute
00:07:16last-minute twist in a key Senate Senate race with the loser of Michigan's
00:07:20Michigan's Democratic primary, the the representative Haley Stevens,
00:07:23Stevens, endorsing the Republican Republican nominee, Mike Rogers,
00:07:26Rogers, instead of her own party's party's candidate Abdul El-Sayed. El-Sayed. It comes after a public
00:07:30public feud between Mr Stevens and and Mr El-Sayed about Israel, which
00:07:33which led to the cancellation of
00:07:35of public appearances together just just days before tomorrow's election.
00:07:38election. Latest polls put the Democrats Democrats just ahead of the Republicans
00:07:41Republicans in Michigan in one of of the most important Senate races
00:07:44races this year. Our North America America correspondent Nada Tawfik
00:07:47Tawfik sent us this report from Detroit,
00:07:49Detroit, Michigan. A shock here in in the high profile Michigan Senate
00:07:52Senate race is rocking the Democratic Democratic Party. Congresswoman Haley
00:07:56Haley Stevens has very publicly endorsed endorsed the Republican Mike Rogers
00:08:00Rogers over her own party's nominee, nominee, Abdul El-Sayed, who she
00:08:03she lost to in the primary. In recent recent days. She has gone after him
00:08:06him again for his stance on Israel. Israel. In reaction, El-Sayed, who
00:08:10who hopes to become Michigan's first first Muslim senator, said he wasn't
00:08:13wasn't thinking of Haley Stevens. Stevens. But the concerns of voters
00:08:16voters in these final hours, this this last minute stunning break with
00:08:19with her party has been swiftly condemned condemned by Democrats here, who
00:08:23who almost certainly need to hold hold the state to have a fighting
00:08:26fighting chance of retaking the Senate. Senate. Many of her own staffers
00:08:30staffers have resigned, including including her chief of staff, who who said the election was too important
00:08:34important to sow Division and Democratic Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said
00:08:37said the party was united against against Mike Rogers, who he called
00:08:40called a tool of Donald Trump. But
00:08:43But this remarkable public feud points points to the deep divisions among
00:08:47among Democrats. That's Nada Tawfik Tawfik with that shock development
00:08:50development in Michigan and our North North America editor Sarah Smith Smith sent this report from the key
00:08:54key state of Maine in the northeast.
00:08:57northeast. Most of the places where where the races look really tight
00:08:59tight are states where there is an
00:09:02an incumbent Republican facing a a Democratic challenger who is doing
00:09:06doing remarkably well in the polls. polls. Now, we know that opinion opinion polls have been wrong in
00:09:09in the past, and there's no guarantee guarantee that they're right this
00:09:12this year. But they have fairly consistently consistently been showing a major
00:09:15major surge in support for Democrats, Democrats, which means they could
00:09:18could be able to take some really really surprising seats like Iowa,
00:09:21Iowa, Ohio, maybe even Texas and
00:09:24and Kansas. Real Republican strongholds strongholds that have been that way
00:09:27way for decades now. I have travelled travelled across the country to a a number of these key states and
00:09:31and everywhere. Voters have told told me that they are very angry
00:09:34angry about the cost of living, and and they directly blame that on Donald
00:09:37Donald Trump and his decision to to go to war with Iran, but not everybody
00:09:41everybody in that position said they they were going to switch their votes. votes. Some are still planning to
00:09:45to vote for Donald Trump's Republicans.
00:09:48Republicans. It does seem likely likely Democrats will take a majority
00:09:50majority in the House of Representatives. Representatives. And if they do that,
00:09:54that, that will allow them to try try and block legislation that Donald
00:09:57Donald Trump passes and open some some investigations. It will be harder
00:10:00harder for them to win a majority
00:10:02majority in the Senate. But whatever whatever happens, it will have a
00:10:05a very big impact on Donald Trump's Trump's last two years in office.
00:10:08office. Sarah Smith in Maine, well well ahead of the midterms, Clive Clive Myrie visited North Carolina
00:10:12Carolina and looked at how the cost cost of living crisis could impact
00:10:15impact the outcome of the election. election. There. It's quite astonishing
00:10:19astonishing that a place like North North Carolina could send a Democrat
00:10:23Democrat senator back to Washington Washington for the first time in
00:10:26in almost 20 years, the Republicans Republicans have ruled the roost
00:10:29roost here, but they're in trouble trouble in these elections. Many
00:10:32Many we've spoken to say the economy economy is their big concern, and
00:10:36and the cost of living is simply simply too high. We found a two mile
00:10:39mile long queue of people trying
00:10:41trying to get help from a food bank. bank. Farmers here say they're angry
00:10:45angry about tariffs and trade policy,
00:10:47policy, though some maintain they'll they'll stick with the Republicans.
00:10:50Republicans. The Democrats are confident
00:10:53confident they can win and if they
00:10:55they do, that could spell big trouble
00:10:57trouble in Washington for Donald Donald Trump. Clive Myrie and you

00:12:17in our bio data. Join me, Paul Carter Carter for Explore Japan from East
00:12:20East to West on BBC News. Hello.
00:12:28Hello. Welcome back here. The Home Home Secretary is due to set out
00:12:32out revised immigration rules for for legal migrants later today. It
00:12:35It comes amidst pressure for Shabana Shabana Mahmood to dilute her original
00:12:39original plans on indefinite leave leave to remain. She's proposed extending
00:12:42extending the wait for permanent permanent settlement for people who
00:12:44who move to the UK from five years
00:12:47years to ten. Our chief political political correspondent Henry Zeffman
00:12:49Zeffman looks ahead to the Home Secretary's Secretary's announcement. Look, it's
00:12:52it's a really big moment this because because Shabana Mahmood first announced
00:12:56announced these proposals around
00:12:58around changing the rules for how
00:13:00how long legal migrants have to wait
00:13:03wait before they can apply for indefinite indefinite leave to remain essentially
00:13:06essentially permanent settled status status here in the UK. It's been
00:13:09been more than a year since she, she, or almost a year since she first first announced these, a year of
00:13:13of intense controversy within the the Labour Party. In a year in which,
00:13:16which, while the identity of the the Home Secretary hasn't changed
00:13:18changed the identity of the Prime
00:13:20Prime Minister has. So this announcement announcement today is Andy Burnham
00:13:24Burnham showing his hand on this this issue for the first time. The
00:13:27The Home Office is remaining very very tight lipped on what precisely
00:13:31precisely Shabana Mahmood will say, say, but it does seem clear that
00:13:34that her plans are going to be diluted diluted to some extent. But how significant
00:13:38significant a dilution we really really do not know. And there's a
00:13:41a broad spectrum there in terms of of whether people on the left of
00:13:45of the Labour Party will end up thinking thinking that it ought to have been
00:13:48been diluted much more, or whether
00:13:50whether actually others will think
00:13:53think that these proposals have been been diluted too much. We just do
00:13:56do not know where that is going to to end up. What I think is pretty
00:13:59pretty clear is that there's going
00:14:01going to be some sort of change around
00:14:03around the status of care workers, workers, social care workers, and
00:14:07and that's because they are often often some of the lowest paid migrants
00:14:09migrants in society. And as a result, result, under the existing proposals,
00:14:13proposals, as they stand, at least least at this point, we're talking
00:14:16talking this morning, Shabana Mahmood Mahmood was proposing that they would
00:14:19would have to wait not five years years as it currently is, before
00:14:22before applying for indefinite leave leave to remain but 15 years. It
00:14:25It seems likely that will change. change. But in what way? We just
00:14:28just don't yet know. And Henry, you you talk about those some in the
00:14:31the party wanting it to be diluted diluted even more. I mean, there there have been tensions, haven't
00:14:34haven't there really at the top tier tier of the Labour Party with Angela
00:14:37Angela Rayner, a very uncomfortable uncomfortable about tightening the
00:14:40the rules. And she's now back at
00:14:43at the in the cabinet. So just how
00:14:46how tricky is that now for Shabana Shabana Mahmood with those kinds kinds of tensions at such high levels.
00:14:50levels. It's very tricky and it's it's very publicly awkward. Yes.
00:14:52Yes. As you say, Angela Rayner is
00:14:55is housing secretary again. She was was housing secretary resigned from
00:14:58from the cabinet. And during that that period where she was a backbench
00:15:01backbench MP, she said that these these proposals were un-British.
00:15:04un-British. I think what's especially especially delicate for the government,
00:15:07government, and perhaps it's more more for Andy Burnham and his party
00:15:10party management than it is awkward
00:15:12awkward for Shabana Mahmood specifically specifically is that Angela Rayner,
00:15:15Rayner, herself a former care worker, worker, was not raising the objection
00:15:19objection that some Labour MPs have, have, which is that they believe believe this. These proposals would
00:15:23would leave the care system understaffed.
00:15:25understaffed. She was making a much much broader, more fundamental point.
00:15:29point. She said it was un-British
00:15:31un-British to change the rules retrospectively, retrospectively, to change the rules
00:15:35rules around indefinite leave, to to remain once these people are already
00:15:38already in the UK working towards towards what they thought would be
00:15:42be the system. I don't think that
00:15:44that that objection is going to be
00:15:46be met today. And so that is definitely definitely awkward for Angela Rayner,
00:15:49Rayner, for Shabana Mahmood and for for Andy Burnham. Henry Zeffman there
00:15:53there to France now students there there returning from autumn holidays
00:15:56holidays blocked some high schools schools on Monday determined to reinvigorate
00:16:00reinvigorate a protest movement despite despite government concessions during
00:16:03during the break. Well, this is Paris Paris in the last hour and before
00:16:07before the break there demonstrations demonstrations had turned violent
00:16:10violent in some parts of the country. country. The students have been complaining complaining about a range of issues,
00:16:14issues, including the poor state state of their schools, staff shortages shortages and the university admissions
00:16:18admissions system. Our correspondent correspondent Hugh Schofield is in
00:16:21in Paris and said student protests protests are fairly calm now but but could flare up again later in
00:16:25in the week. We've been told by the the Ministry of Education that it's
00:16:28it's very few. In fact, it's 41 overall
00:16:33overall out of 3500 lycee. If that
00:16:34that is the case, then it is not
00:16:37not a big return to a show of force
00:16:39force by the students, which is not
00:16:42not to say that it won't resume later
00:16:44later on. But today is not a big
00:16:49big kind of showdown between a returning
00:16:52returning angry student workforce workforce or student force and the
00:16:55the schools and the government. 41 41 schools is not much and they'll
00:16:59they'll all be in the same metropolitan metropolitan areas central Paris,
00:17:03Paris, central Toulouse, central central Marseille and so on. I mean, mean, apparently in 75% of departments
00:17:07departments or counties across the the country, there is no problem problem at all. Now, I'm not for
00:17:11for a minute suggesting that the the government is is rubbing its its hands and saying this is all
00:17:14all over. Not not a bit of it. There There are dates ahead which could
00:17:17could easily see this movement return
00:17:20return in force, maybe even tomorrow.
00:17:23tomorrow. But Thursday in particular particular is a day in which everyone
00:17:27everyone is now watching very carefully carefully because that is a day on
00:17:30on which not just the students, but but the whole kind of working workforce,
00:17:34workforce, the unions in general general are calling for a day of
00:17:37of strikes and marches in, you know,
00:17:39know, in a classic con convergence
00:17:42convergence of the struggles kind kind of idea. So this isn't over.
00:17:45over. But I mean, quite clearly the the students aren't are going to to find it difficult maintaining
00:17:49maintaining the kind of momentum momentum they had before because, because, you know, there is let us
00:17:52us not forget a silent majority in in all of this that wants to get
00:17:55get back to work. And, you know, know, exams are not around the corner,
00:17:58corner, but they'll be next year year and they've lost a lot of coursework
00:18:01coursework already. Yeah. And yet yet even though the government has
00:18:05has made some concessions saying saying that they're going to phase
00:18:08phase out that controversial university university admission system, for
00:18:11for example, and decrease class sizes, sizes, that is not washing with for
00:18:15for the moment with the student unions
00:18:16unions or indeed the workers unions.
00:18:20unions. Yes. I mean, as you say,
00:18:23say, the government gave ground.
00:18:25ground. I mean it basically said
00:18:28said it was going to tear up. But,
00:18:30But, you know, look again at the
00:18:34the Parcoursup, which is the admission admission system, which opponents
00:18:36opponents say is socially and racially racially biassed. There's going to
00:18:40to be a ceiling on, on class sizes
00:18:44sizes and a cut in, in the teacher teacher force, which was due to come
00:18:47come in, it's not going to come in. in. That was because of falling student
00:18:50student numbers. So, you know, and and the government says these aren't
00:18:54aren't crumbs. You know, they're they're accused of giving crumbs. crumbs. This is going to cost us
00:18:58us 5 billion. So please don't say
00:18:59say these are crumbs. But the union
00:19:02union leaders who are radical close close to the far left party, the the LFI, they're saying it's not
00:19:06not enough and they want to keep keep up the pressure. But we'll have have to see. I mean, quite clearly
00:19:10clearly their aim is now to join

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