This was a bus that was charted to go from venice to a tourist site, we dont know why it came off the overpass, we think possibly the drivers loss of consciousness. Its a very big drop, about a 15 metre drop from the overpass, you can see the overpass, you can see the overpass there and Police Vehicles behind me. I talked to one person who saw it happen and shortly after heard screams, Babies Push Chair was just thrown up as the bus caught fire.

A story thats been dominating headlines in the uk and overshadowing the conservative party conferene. Conference. After weeks of speculation the bbc understands that the Prime Minister is going to scrap the plans to build the hs2 high speed rail line between birmingham and manchester. He is expected to make the announcement in manchester at the Tory Party Conference tomorrow. 0ur political editor, chris mason, reports. Buttoned up, on the spot, is that a spring in his step . The Prime Minister limbering up for a day of scrutiny and one question he has been swerving for three weeks now and still was this morning. You are promising long term decisions for a brighter future, so will you announce your decision tomorrow on hs2 . Theres a lot of speculation on this and i will approach this the same way i approach everything, thoughtfully and carefully and across the detail, making what i believe is the right decision for the long term of our country. This is why there has been a flurry of questions on hs2, a Government Document photographed last month revealing ministers were looking again at the project. Which has prompted an angry argument ever since. It would be a great tragedy to cancel hs2, it is the biggest levelling up project the country has got and if you want to make long term decisions and Ifully Support Rishi Sunak in wanting to make those long term decisions, that includes huge investments in projects like hs2. But others say it is an expensive mistake. What good is a little old lady going to find in a train going by at that speed, in a train she will never get on, when she cannot even get from her village to the next village . What a load of nonsense. As well as talking to and kissing dogs, rishi sunak will crank up tomorrow what he has already begun, an attempt at shifting how he is saying, at shifting how he is seen, out with mr steady, and in with changes on a range of topics to Seat Attention and force a reaction and he desperately hopes, secure the affection or at least the support of more of the country. You have been Prime Minister for almost a year and you have looked under the bonnet of government and concluded that in terms of how politicians have been tempted to act, are not right. I can sense theres frustration that politicians are not delivering what people want it to deliver, and they hear too much from politicians, talk, talk, talk, not enough action. If you could accuse Suella Braverman not spelling out what she thinks and she packed at the and she packed out the conference for this afternoon and few others have done that. She has long been outspoken on immigration and are willing to use language others might balk at and she has done it again. The Wind Of Change that carried my own parents across the globe in the 20th century was a mere gust compared to the hurricane that is coming. The Home Secretary suggested before hundreds of millions of people are on the move around the world. We are on your side. Thank you. Look at the reaction to her speech. Many here and beyond agree with her instincts. But some of her colleagues think her choice of words is irresponsible. As politicians we should be mindful of our words. We are there to form policy, to guide the country. I think we need to be very careful we do not create you a situation where we are either demonising minorities or those who are vulnerable. Opposition to her speech led one long standing conservative to be thrown out for heckling. She should be ashamed of herself. Andrew boff took issue with her views on trans rights. Rishi sunak, it seems like he has been drowned by others. Every other voice seems louder than yours, it is what leadership looks like . Louder than yours, it is the spirit at the conference has been great, we announced a increase in the National Living wage. Thats a £1000 wage rise for millions of people. But what about liz truss getting up and commanding an entire room and the conservative mayor of the West Midlands is saying what he did about hs2 . What we are saying will make a difference to people. Rishi sunak tomorrow hopes to make a inspiring call to his voters, he seems to have made a blunt calculation, act now otherwise he will become a former Prime Minister flogging his memoirs. Breaking news that Kevin Mccarthy has announced he will not rerun as the republican speaker. Forthe not rerun as the republican speaker. For the first time in 100 years the speaker has been ousted from his job from by his own party. 0ur North America correspondent sean dilley explained the importance of this case. Its incredibly significant. As you say, its historically important and it is indeed historic. As the sun sets for another day on capitol hill behind me, the Republican Party at war with itself. This felt like a fairly unlikely outcome, at least on this occasion, because the democrats could have decided to save Kevin Mccarthy. They could have decided to back him on the basis that Kevin Mccarthy has promised a short term funding bill on ukraine. I think it helps to understand why were here as well, and thats simply that. At the weekend, Kevin Mccarthy worked with democrats to rely on their votes to keep the Us Government open. What happened is previous deals agreed on a bipartisan basis in the Upper Chamber in the senate had failed. Those plans had included 6 billion over the next a5 days to ukraine. Now, that was something that hard liners, donald trump, allies in matt gaetz, the florida representative, didnt like. So Kevin Mccarthy reached out across the floor to work with democrats and said, look, if you vote through this deal, it will keep funding going through til the middle of november. It will not release those funds to ukraine. But if you do that for me, he said, i will introduce a different funding bill on ukraine in the coming days and at least the government stays open. So yes, absolutely. They agreed with Kevin Mccarthy on that occasion, but theyre not his biggest fans either. Neither are those donald trump allies who have forced him out this evening. Sean, procedurally, what happens next now . As we speak inside this building here and beyond, there are conversations happening to choose who might be a suitable speaker. There are, interestingly, and puzzlingly actually moves to look at the notion of hakeem jeffries, the leader of the democrats within the House Of Representatives. Again, thats a bit of a head scratcher, because although theres nothing in the constitution that says that the next speaker has to be a member of the Republican Party, in essence, by convention, that does happen. Theoretically, theres nothing to say. Somebody actually has to be a member of the House Of Representatives at all. Theyll all be jockeying for position. But look, no business can happen until theyve chosen a new speaker and theres no fixed timeline for when that has to happen. And certainly not a single dime or a cent in additionalfunding can be released to ukraine beyond whats already been agreed until they do install another speaker. So it is becoming a little bit urgent and its a little bit puzzling because nobody really knows why we are where we are. Beyond the Republican Party eating itself alive. Sean, one of the key issues that, of course, has created divisions, especially overfunding, is the help towards ukraine now. How do we see that playing out . Nothings going to happen with ukraine. What happens . We got this promise from Kevin Mccarthys made. Thats gone. Thats out of the way because hes now deposed from office. We now have a situation where whether its Kevin Mccarthy or and other, they have to negotiate with the democrats and the republicans and that funding for ukraine becomes ever urgent. President zelensky had been promised byjoe biden, the president of the United States, as recently as a couple of weeks ago, that there would be up to 2a billion of additional funding. Now, thats opposed by the hard liners, at least nine hard liners who were blackmailing essentially Kevin Mccarthy, holding him over a barrel. Matt gaetz made good on his promise to vacate him from office and it wasnt thought that was going to succeed. It now has. As for the issue of what happens for funding with ukraine for the future, its anybody� s guess. The judge overseeing Donald Trumps Civil Fraud Trial in the us has issued a gag order barring him from making comments about court staff. It comes after the former us president posted a social media attack on the judges principal law clerk that included her photo, on the second day of the trial in new york. The post has since been deleted. Meanwhile, mrtrump has said that he plans to testify at the trial, which centres on allegations that he deceived banks, insurers and others by overvaluing his assets and exaggerating his net worth. Hes dismissed the trial as a political witch hunt. Around the world and across the uk. This is bbc news. Lets look at some other stories making news. The diaries kept by the governments former chief scientific adviser sir Patrick Vallance during the pandemic have been made public at the second part of the covid Inquiry Which looks at the decisions taken by the government at the start of the pandemic. In them he criticises what he calls borisjohnsons Impossible Flip Flopping and bipolar decision making. Uk Rail Passengers face major disruption on wednesday with Train Drivers walking out as part of a bitter, long running dispute over pay and conditions.

A new law to strip people who murdered their partners of parental rights over their children will be introduced. It follows a two Year Campaign by the parents ofjade ward, whose Killer Russell Marsh retained rights over their children. Under current laws, killers need to be consulted on decisions affecting their children such as health, education and travel. Youre live with bbc news. The United States has announced sanctions on more than twenty individuals and entities based in china which make and distribute compounds later used in illegal drugs. They include ingredients for fentanyl a Synthetic Opioid thats has been blamed for Tens Of Thousands of recent deaths. Live now to our North America correspondent peter bowes in los angeles. Thanks very much, peter, for coming up for us. What more do we know about this decision . This is, indeed, an attempt to clamp down on what is called the Precursor Chemicals, the raw ingredients that go into making fentanyl. They Synthetic Opioid that is so deadly. It is responsible for killing Tens Of Thousands of people in the United States alone every year. According to Thejustice Department here it is Chinese Companies that are responsible for making these Precursor Chemicals that then find their way into the fentanyl compound, which is, again, then used by mexican drug cartels as part of their operation getting drugs into the United States. So there is a global chain, if you like, a chain that starts in china, and thats why the Justice Department has announced this clamp down in terms of indictments and sanctions against those companies. And those sanctions mean they will essentially be cut off from the us financial system. And that means in turn that anyone in this country doing any kind of business with those entities will be breaking the law, and would themselves find themselves at the end of a lawsuit. So this is a us wide, but you can see it more globally in the terms of its likely impact. Globally in the terms of its likely impact. Globally in the terms of its likel im act. ,. , likely impact. Peter, give us a bit more about likely impact. Peter, give us a bit more about the likely impact.

This is a huge problem decision . This is a huge problem in decision . This is a huge problem in the decision . This is a huge problem in the united l decision . This is a huge problem in the United States. More than 100,000 Drug Overdoses in this country every year since 2020, about two thirds of those as a result of fentanyl. So it is the deadliest drug in the United States at the moment. And a massive problem around the country. This isntjust a problem that is focused on certain citizens states, it really is a us wide issue, which is why there is such an effort by the federal government to get to the root cause, at least one of the root causes as to why these drugs are finding their way into the United States, and that is to try to essentially break down those companies that are providing the raw ingredient, because these are Synthetic Opioids, these are manufactured compounds that have such deadly consequences. Mil compounds that have such deadly consequences. Consequences. All right, peter bowles, consequences. All right, peter bowles. We consequences. All right, peter bowles, we leave consequences.

The government of pakistan has said that all Illegal Immigrants must leave the country by the end of the month or face expulsion. The deadline has caused alarm among foreign residents, including an estimated 1. 7 million afghan nationals. Interior minister Sarfrez Bugti also said that properties and businesses owned by Illegal Immigrants would be seized. The announcement comes after two Suicide Bombings targeted religious gatherings in pakistan last week, killing at least 57 people. Sumera khan, a journalist and political analyst from pakistan explained what has pushed the country to make this decision. I would say that it is not just these two bombings. They pushed pakistan to do these actions against the Illegal Migrants of afghanistan, or i should say those refugees that are resigning in pakistan who are residing in pakistan who crossed into pakistan illegally, and they were living here without any documented proof of their residence in pakistan. Im talking about those who are aliens here in pakistan. Im not talking about those who are well documented, who are living as legally residing in pakistan. Im talking about those who are aliens and living illegally. So the whole story started from the beginning of this year. When there was a huge bombing in the city of peshawar, police lines where we lost more than a hundred people and the bombing took place in a mosque. In the centre of the city of pesce wire, and it was of peshawar, and it was a huge damage for the pakistani forces, because the pakistani police, pakistani cops were targeted in that tat attack. Police, pakistani cops were targeted in that attack. After that there were a series of attacks on cops and soldiers across the borders where demonstrations were taking place in the city. So the Chief Of Army Staff of pakistan, he had to come up with a very clear stance for the first time i think in the history of pakistan that army chief is issuing the statement warning the afghan authorities, the interim government of afghanistan, do not let the terror expand outwards like the taliban, and isis, do not it didnt initiate these attacks in pakistan because pakistan, you talked about the interior minister, they found substantial evidence of refugees involved in these attacks. To an inspiring story. She left her walker on the ground, and off she went and made the 13,500 ft tandem jump. Born and raised in chicago, dorothy hoffner, now a spirited 10a year old, has achieved a remarkable feat by becoming the oldest person in the world to tandem skydive from an aeroplane. She has surpassed the previous Guinness World record set by Linnea Ingegard Larsson from sweden, who completed the tandem jump at the age of 103. The organisers from skydive chicago, who facilitated dorothysjump, are working now to have her extraordinary accomplishment officially recognised by Guinness World records. This is what dorothy had to Sayjust Second after thejump. 0h, goodness. Back on the ground. Safe and sound. That was amazing. Wonderful, wonderful. A wonderful trip. Awesome job up there, dorothy. Thats all for now stay with bbc news. Hello there. Were now all into some fresher feeling air. But temperatures are still a little above the average for this time of year. Tuesday was rather blustery with sunshine and showers for most of the uk. There will be some more rain in the forecast as we head through the week, but its mostly out towards the north and the west. The further south and east you are, the drier your week is likely to be, and then things will be turning warmer and more autumn warmth for most as we head into the weekend. Now, on wednesday, as you can see, weve got rain out towards parts of western scotland, across northern ireland, too, driven in by this area of low pressure. So its a wet start to the day here, further south across england and wales, lots of clear skies throughout the night. So a chillier start to the morning than weve been used to of late and still rather breezy with a Brisk Westerly wind. Thats across Western Areas of scotland, the west highlands, argyll and bute. There are some localised Weather Warnings in force, some of this rain likely to pep up at times. It curls around across to northeastern scotland, up towards the northern isles, and then our front sinks southwards across northern ireland, the borders into northern england, perhaps, as we head through the afternoon. Bright skies to the north of the Weather Front you with a few showers around, the sunniest skies across england and wales, a few isolated showers out towards the west. Temperatures again in the mid to the high teens with a Brisk Westerly wind blowing. Now, we dont have to wait for too long before the next low Pressure System pushes some more fronts our way. And theyre going to arrive as we head through thursday morning, so some further outbreaks of rain, quite saturated ground by now out towards southWestern Areas of scotland. The warnings extending further north as we head towards the end of the week. Some spells of rain, too, for northern ireland. A lot of cloud being thrown towards eastern areas, the best of any brightness towards the southeast of england. Temperatures once again in the mid to the high teens in celsius. Now, as we head through friday, youll notice that these Weather Fronts are starting to come more round towards the north and the west, being driven away by the High Pressure building in from europe. And that is going to keep us largely dry throughout the weekend. And there will be a lot of sunshine around. As you can see with that now southerly wind, we start to see the warmer air feed through and the temperatures rise, particularly for england and wales. So it will be feeling warmer over the weekend. Temperatures up to 26 celsius in Southeast England on sunday, low to the mid 20s across much of wales, low twenties for northern ireland, perhaps a little cooler and wetter for scotland. Bye bye. Im an optimist because i do not see any other way. The portraits of lincoln and reagan and firmly believe if reagan gave us advice, he would say, believe in your principles and bring people greater freedom and you should be happy about it. Its always been excited to be a happy conservative. But ive always believed that have been so fortunate to be an american. Myjourney to this office is something that people wouldnt understand. I grew up in the town of bakersfield, california some of a firefighter and the grandson of immigrants and parents worked hard, the youngest in my family and getting out of college i didnt have good grades and i had to go to community college. And paying through it. And i was for weekend and cash a check and i won the lottery. When the first in california. It is only 5000 but it went much further back then. Took my folks to dinner, but the majority of the rest of the money to the stock market ended pretty well and i took a break from school and he went to buy a franchise and no one said they would sell me one. I was only 20 years old. But i learned them never to give up. So, open my own business selling sandwiches. Three things i learned, first work, last to leave and less to get paid. I want to finish michaels degree and no one in my family had finished a four year degree and now we had enough to pair with the school as long as we went
