Following it and told us more about the casual to numbers going up. The figures are getting higher. It is a day of mourning, it is shocking. Three days of National Mourning the government has announced. We have seen parades are funerals in the city of homs today and yesterday, more than 50 civilians killed, it was a Graduation Ceremony for the police academy. The attack and who is behind it raises lots of questions that remain without answers.

Immediately after the attack in homs they launched a full fledged attack on opposition areas, bombing in a glib and around idlib. Mainly targeting civilians. The Minister Of Defence was there at the ceremony and it left a few minutes before the attack. No idea why he left. Did he receive a warning . He did not attend the rest of the ceremony. We are not sure that the opposition or armed opposition have a capacity of using drones filled with explosives to fly over 100 kilometres. The distance between a glib and homs. Some drones in the past were used for nearby attacks of in it is not clear who is behind it, no one has announced claim for responsibility for this, but lots of questions onto why the Minister Of Defence left the ceremony before it actually takes place.

Well, if you look at the | history of the past ten years and what happened, several attacks, even assassinations of top officials, a Defence Minister and the husband of the president s sister, the regime said it was an attack, but all the signs show it was an internaljob. There are lots of hands in charge of syria, there is turkey, the americans, the kurds. The iranians, the russians, and everyone has different interests. There are so many people, so many parties could be behind this, probably the regime also wants to distract attention from what is happening in sweden, the protests that have been taking place for over a month now. What is happening with the protests. {jut is happening with the protests. Our correspondent in beirut. A report by the Un Childrens Agency unicef says more than 43 million children were displaced between 2016 and 2021 because of extreme weather events, such as floods and fires. Thats an average of about 20,000 children displaced every day during the six year period. The report found that children living in the Horn Of Africa or on small island nations are most vulnerable. Verena knaus, a migration expert with unicef, explained how desperate the situation is. These numbers are a wake up call to all of us, and at the same time, they are just the tip of the iceberg. We are quite confident that, in reality, the real number of children that have actually been displaced by storms, by floods, by droughts, by wildfires is actually a lot higher. So if youre looking at absolute numbers, of course large countries that are highly exposed to such risks, countries like the philippines or china or india, they also have good robust systems to record child displacements, to evacuate children in the event of a disaster, thats where were seeing large numbers of the past data. But then there is also, i think what is really important, those countries where Early Warning systems are weak, where preemptive evacuations rarely happen, or where different types of hazards, in particular droughts, are really affecting and driving children from their homes. So we are talking here about the Horn Of Africa, south sudan, somalia, but also countries that are also facing conflict and fragility like haiti or other caribbean islands. There we are seeing mind boggling large numbers being washed away in the context of floods, but also typhoons, storms, hurricanes really causing havoc on those islands. So it depends where you live. It depends how prepared countries are. That is really what determines how Vulnerable Children are that face these disasters. And were seeing some of those extreme weather events causing exactly what youre describing. When you talk about people being displaced, are you talking about the majority internally or Crossing Borders . Well, the numbers that we are putting forward really is looking at internal displacement, because that is what weather events like floods, like storms, like droughts are causing. The much, much larger number of children that are directly affected, that are seeking safety, are seeking safety within their countries. It is very important that we recognise this because this is where the investments need to go. We need to invest in the capacities of schools, of Health Facilities in small island states like vanuatu, like the caribbean states, also in countries that are really seeing the double threat of both seasonal flooding and typhoons and storms countries in southeast asia, in the pacific. That is where the investments must go to really equip schools and health centers. And, of course, we know with each of these Weather Warnings on Global Warming that we have, and we had that one yesterday that was dominating the headlines about Record September temperatures, i mean, if that is the general backdrop, we know that the situation is going to get worse and going to get worse quickly, so presumably the imperative has to be to develop International Strategies to cope with that reality. Absolutely. Its notjust an imperative, its in all our interests, because what the report also shows is that no country is shielded from these risks. We see wildfires wreaking havoc in canadian forests. We are seeing wildfires on greek islands. Were seeing flash floods in spain and italy. Its not that these disasters happen elsewhere. They are happening everywhere. But the difference is some countries are better equipped and this is the inequity. This is really where we need to step up. And if were looking into the future, because our report at risk in the future . This is really a Call To Action. Were looking into a terrifying future of more than 100 million children being at risk of displacement in the next 30 years. But we know where, we know what it takes and we know where and how we can prepare those communities. And this is the Call To Action that we hope will be taken up in dubai at cop 28 and in all the conversations on climate finance, preparedness mitigation and what it takes to really prepare communities and children to face this future. Make time to my favourite story of the day, lets turn to my favourite story of the day. Were half way through fat bear week as always, its getting a ridiculous amount of attention. Its a little moment ofjoy as we navigate a lot of bleak stories. A Million People voted in last years online event their choice of the most popular scales breaking brown bear. These are the live pictures from alaskas Katmai National park millions tune in, to watch the bears jockeying for position for the best eating spots. More than a million votes last year. And so far this year, in the first four matches, weve already had more than 300,000 votes. Im going to put up a picture of last years winner, 747. I think im right in saying moo pounds. I mean, in terms of how much weight theyre putting on before hibernation, just take me through that. You know, Brown Bears Hibernate in winter so they dont eat, drink, urinate or defecate while theyre in the den. They survive on their fat reserves. So the fatter the bear before they go into the den, generally, the better equipped they are to survive that period of time. And theyll lose about a third of their body weight during hibernation. Thats the same for a bear like 747, but its especially important for bears like females with mothers, with cubs who have to support not only their own survival, but the the safety and the growth of their offspring. Ill come back to mothers in a moment, but a lot of interest and not surprising this one in terms of the chubby cub 806 junior, i think thats how its tagged. I read in terms of body weight, he has increased nearly 7,000 since he was born a year ago. I mean, how much fish is that that hes eating . Well, its a lot of mothers milk along with some fish later in the year. But, yeah, when brown bear cubs are born, theyre born in midwinter, so in north america, usually end ofjanuary or early february, and theyre only about one pound. But at this time of the year, a first year cub could weigh more than 70 lb. So yeah, they do have the fastest growth rate of any age class of bear. Now, you mentioned mothers. I mean, this competition, it doesnt separate gender or age or anything like that. That puts mothers like holly, whos got a lot of attention because of her colourings a lot of people watching out for her in this competition. But in terms of how it works, to actually to win this competition, is it simply weight that its all about . Its not, its a subjective competition. So we ask people to vote based on not only, like, body size and who they think got the fattest, but we also ask people to consider the stories because each bear at brooks river is an individual and faces its own challenges to survive and thrive in this habitat. And, of course, its brought to us by the salmon and the rich salmon runs that arrive at brooks river every summer. That was mike fitz. Let me take you to the live pictures. On the right hand side, one of those bears. Just head to the bbc website, where there is a fascinating read about 747, otis, all the rest of the bear is named. That competition lasts until october ten and, as you are hearing from mike, millions of people tuning in and watching every day and at the expect to get to that a million votes by the end of the competition. Some of the live pictures those. We are halfway through fat bear week. Around the world and across the uk, youre watching bbc news.

This week, Martin Scorsese widely regarded as one of americas greatest living film makers is in london for a Gala Screening of his latest Picture Killers of the flower moon. It stars Leonardo Dicaprio and Robert De Niro in an epic western lasting three and a half hours. Well, tom brook met the 80 year old in his home city of new york, from where he gave me his take on the film. I think its actually very good. It is long, as you just mentioned, and it does meander a bit. But what i like about scorseses films are theyre about something. And im not i dont want to give too much away. But theres a moment in this film when you have Leonardo Dicaprio so that brings up a very interesting conundrum. Im sure weve all had experiences where we dont do nice things to people we love. Having said that, this area where we are is where he actually grew up and it had a big influence on him. He met macho posturing men who really feature strongly in his films, and as a child, he had asthma and he was here at home a lot and he watched a lot of movies, among them westerns. And this latest film is a western, and it was a real privilege to meet him last week in a new york hotel. Good to see you. Ive met you on, like, red carpets and junkets over the years. Yes, ive seen you over the years too. Yes, yes. Martin scorsese has made some of american cinemas most memorable films, from taxi driver. You talkin to me . To goodfellas. Never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut. To the departed. As your were then. Shes on her way out. We all are, act accordingly. To the irishman, to mention just a few. What do you want . You want to know if i did it or not . No. His latest epic, killers of the flower moon, an adaptation of a book, Stars ScorseseActing StalwartsRobert De Niro and Leonardo Dicaprio. I dont know what you said, but it must have been indian for handsome devil. It tells of the orchestrated so called Reign Of Terror of the 1920s in oklahoma, in which more than 60 Native Americans were killed by white interlopers wanting to get their hands on the oil that lay on their land. This wealth should come to us. Oil had made the osage nation extremely wealthy. Scorsese believes his new york upbringing helped him understand the story. I grew up in an area that was kind of, you know, there was a great deal of street crime, organised crime, etc. And i found it was the same thinking in this story. Now, you could take it from robbing somebody� s store, mugging somebody, lets say, or take it to the point of wiping out a nation, an indigenous nation. Tell me, i mean, it is a period film in that it was set in oklahoma in the 1920s, but in many ways, its about greedy white men doing terrible things to another race. Do you think that has contemporary relevance in America Today . That hasnt changed in america. It hasnt changed around the world. I mean, youre saying white, but there are others who do that too, in different parts of the world. When this money started coming. We should have known it came with something else. Gunfire. What Martin Scorsese really values are films in which a single film maker has artistic control. You get the sense that with killers of the flower moon, which was bankrolled by apple films to the tune of 200 million, scorsese got his way. I never felt that there were people looking over my shoulder. You could say, well, its because you, you know. Who you are. Yeah, but im 80 years old now. All right. So now i was able to make a picture with nobody looking over my shoulder, in a sense. If they were, they were very quiet. Let me ask you, you mentioned getting older. I mean, actually, im only ten years behind you.
