Where we are with those political staff if they were very happy with the speech today, they think it went down really well and they think the Prime Minister did a really good job and theyre really loyal to him on the wider point about the dysfunctionality in Downing Street and the concerns over pay for political staff, that the chief of staff, as we found that, Sue Gray, earning more than the Prime Minister because her salary has been bumped up because her salary has been bumped up and the morejunior people earning less than their tory predecessors, as you said, coming in him into this conference, the atmosphere looked like it was one of dissent but talking around the conference, the atmosphere like mutiny, it feels mutinous.

Sir Keir Starmer lays out his � long term project� for the uk aiming for optimism whilst setting out the � trade offs� that he says the country must face. � we must build a new britain built from that age old spirit we must build a new britain built from that age old spirit of creativity and enterprise. The Pride And Ambition of working people. Tens of thousands flee their homes as Lebanons Capital is pelted by israeli Air Strikes more than Five Hundred And Sixty people including children have been killed. A former Police Officer is jailed for running a Horse Racing betting ring which made millions by Defrauding Thousands of people. And not pulling its punches why octopus Hit Fish in the head to keep them in line. Hello, im ggm. Sir Keir Starmer has promised National Renewal in his first speech to the Labour Party Conference as Prime Minister but he warned of tough choices ahead. The Prime Minister pledged to stabilise the economy but made it clear that some of his decisions would be unpopular. And he spoke out against Populism And Racism after the summer riots. From liverpool, our political editor, Chris Mason sent this report please welcome Keir Starmer. Theyve waited 15 years to hear a sentence like that. A party so often crushed by defeat, basking in winning. Take ride that by defeat, basking in winning. Take pride that labour by defeat, basking in winning. Ia Age pride that labour one in by defeat, basking in winning. Ia Ate Pride that labour one in every single region in england. Take pride that england won in wales, that liberal one in scotland labour. Before Slip Ups and Take Pride that labour won in wales. Take pride that labour won in scotland. Governing is always difficult for every party, and thats before Slip Ups and unforced errors. And plenty that takes forever to do perhaps never gets done, so leaders like to celebrate what they have managed. Doctors back in theatre. New solar projects, new offshore wind projects, the onshore ban lifted. Great British Energy launched. One Word Ofsted Judgments ended. Next, the Prime Minister tried to describe how life feels for many people. Look at our country. Do you see a britain where people feel, with the certainty that they deserve, that the future will be better for their children . Because when i was growing up, thats what we believed, but that is not the country we inherited injuly. That confidence, that certainty, its brittle and fragile. Hisjob, then, to end that. And, in an extended section of particular passion from Sir Keir Starmer, the riots this summer, poles apart, he said, from legitimate worries about migration. People concerned about immigration were not doing that, because they understand that this country, this democratic country, is built on the rule of law, the ballot box, the common understanding that we debate our differences. We do not settle them with violent thuggery, and racism is vile controlling migration a commitment, he said. And on choices in government, like cancelling the Winter Fuel Payment for millions of pensioners. I understand that many of the decisions we must take will be unpopular. If they were popular, theyd be easy. To the volatile international picture, The Middle East and developments there in the last few days. So i call again for Restraint And De escalation at the border between lebanon and israel. And. I call again for an immediate ceasefire in gaza, the return of the sausages. The hostages, and a recommitment to the two state solution. Note the slip up there, sausages caught quickly and all over Social Media almost as quickly. This speech was light on new policies, but this next bit was new making it easier for military veterans to find a home. We will repay those who served us and house all veterans in housing need. Homes will be there for heroes. But campaigners say theres nowhere near enough Social Housing as it is. Then, a protester. This guy has obviously got a pass from the 2019 conference and to the Prime Ministers conclusion. A britain built to last, built with respect, built with pride. Because together, we have shown that britain belongs to you this speech, this conference has oozed a pride in victory, but also, has groaned under the weight of responsibility of governing, governing in an era of cynicism about politics and squeezed living standards. Did it need to be that bit more positive, given the gloom of the last few months . Weve been really clear since we came in about the scale of the challenge that we face. People watching will want to know when you can actually do stuff, when they can feel things improving. You must feel that pressure. Absolutely. People voted for change and were determined to deliver it. Upbeat, positive, optimistic, how to build a better britain. The Cabinets View is one thing, its what you make of it that really matters. Chris mason, bbc news, in liverpool. The Prime Minister has again said hes prepared to make difficult decisions. Three months after labours landslide victory. Ben chu, from bbc verify, has been assessing sir keir� s popularity in the polls compared to his predecessors. Sir Keir Starmer� s personal Approval Ratings have taken a knock since he became Prime Minister. 2,000 people have been regularly asked by the polling firm opinium, to what extent do you approve or disapprove of the way Keir Starmer is handling hisjob as leader of the opposition, and sincejuly, as Prime Minister . Just before the election, around 40 disapproved and 40 approved of his performance. And heres whats happened since the election. The share approving in september has fallen to 24 , and the Share Disapproving had Hit 50 , suggesting a substantial negative net Approval Rating of more than 20 percentage points. How had starmer� s predecessors as pm fared at a similar stage in their governments . Well, Ipsos Mori has a long Running Series asking people, are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the way the pm is performing . Heres what it shows for satisfaction, after roughly two months of polls for each new pm. Tony blairs net satisfaction for the public increased. Liz trusss declined dramatically, amid the chaos of the mini budget. Both Borisjohnson And Rishi sunak started in negative territory and declined from there. At the end ofjuly, starmer had positive net satisfaction of seven, but in september, that had fallen to 21. So why have Keir Starmer� s ratings dropped . An indication comes from a separate poll from yougov, which asked people this month why they are disappointed with this government. The most common reason given was the Means Testing of Winter Fuel Payments, followed by financially hitting pensioners and the poor. My Colleague Danny Savage has spent the day in leeds, where labour made some gains at the election, to see what people there think of the Prime Minister. Leeds, the city where Keir Starmer went to university. He has great affection for this area, but is that reflected back by voters here . Lets start at a cafe in horsforth. Dino voted labour in the summer. He should sound a bit more optimistic. Erm, i think everybody should be a little bit more optimistic because the tough times are now, and obviously, its always after rain, comes sunshine. Give him a break, yeah. I mean, you know, hes only had a few weeks, you know, hardly anything. Customer david is also a labour supporter. Hes lost his Winter Fuel allowance, but understands why. Im probably in a position easier to cope with it than a lot of other people. I think its probably necessary, you know, due to this 22. Billion. Billion, whatever it was, yeah he says Theres Light at the end of the tunnel in his speech today. He always complains that its the conservatives left a big hole. Butjenny disagrees and thinks many pensioners are fed up. What does he need to do to change your impression . He needs to probably think a little bit more about pensioners like us| that have worked all our lives, and hes taken away from us. I how do you feel . Is there light at the end of your tunnel . I wouldnt have said so. The situation is pretty dire at the moment. I think most people are just waiting for the budget to happen, and then, from that, to see whats basically going to happen in their general lives. But for me, i dont see any light. And thats the next political port of call the budget. Will that change peoples opinions . Danny savage, bbc news, leeds. Israel says it has launched a wave of extensive strikes on his brother this evening in southern Lebanon And Beirut killing one of the groups top commanders. His brother has been Firing Rockets into northern israel with no sign of a De Escalation in the crisis. More than 550 people were killed in israeli Air Strikes yesterday, in what was the deadliest bombardment the country has seen in decades. Orla guerin is in tyre in Southern Lebanon. A community in mourning. The village of saksakiyeh in Southern Lebanon today. Ii were killed here yesterday by israels massive bombardment. The dead included four women, an infant and a seven year old girl called joury. Herfather, mohammad halal, says she was an innocent child and a martyr. He pledges his support for the hezbollah leader, sheikh hassan nasrallah. Even if they kill us, he says, we are at your service. Also being mourned today, Dina Darwiche and her son, jad. Killed in their own home by an israeli missile. Here she was at work with the un refugee agency. It says it is outraged and deeply saddened, and civilians must be protected. A Miracle Rescue was filmed today. Civil defence workers prised this elderly man out from under the rubble of his own home in Southern Lebanon. Others are still fleeing from the south. We saw some on foot, driven from their homes by Israels War from the air. And the knowledge that things could get worse. We saw smoke still rising from a recent strike and went for a closer look. And went for a closer look. But hezbollah was watching, but hezbollah was watching, as we soon found out. As we soon found out. Well, weve just seen one well, weve just seen one of the locations where there of the locations where there was an israeli strike. Was an israeli strike. It looked like a it looked like a commercial building. Commercial building. As soon as we arrived, as soon as we arrived, hezbollah arrived, and prevented us hezbollah arrived, and prevented us from filming any more. From filming any more. Theyre still trying to control this area theyre still trying to control this area even as theyre coming even as theyre coming under heavy attack. Under heavy attack. And that attack continued and that attack continued in beirut today. In beirut today. Once again, war on the horizon. Once again, war on the horizon. Israel says it killed a top military commander. If so, hes the latest in a long list. But hezbollah is fighting on. The Prime Minister has told british nationals in lebanon now is the time to leave. Sir Keir Starmer has said we are ramping up the Contingency Plans and added that Uk Citizens should leave immediately. This comes as around 700 additional Uk Military personnel are being flown to cyprus, as part of military plans to conduct an evacuation of british nationals from lebanon if necessary. They willjoin 500 Military Personnel who are already in cyprus as part of the ministry of defences Contingency Planning for a potential evacuation operation. The latest surge of 700 is an indication that ministers are increasingly concerned about the escalation in fighting between israel and his brother. However, at present there is no imminent plan to conduct an evacuation. Increasingly concerned about the Security Situation in lebanon and the safety of an estimated 10,000, at least 10,000 british nationals who have been repeatedly told to leave. So, we now know hundreds of more troops, this is in addition to 500 extra troops sent to cyprus over the summer to prepare for 500 extra troops sent to cyprus over the sui remains prepare for 500 extra troops sent to cyprus over the sui remains open re for 500 extra troops sent to cyprus over the sui remains open and r 500 extra troops sent to cyprus over the sui remains open and some airport remains open and some flights are cancelled and the us of another option, military flights are another option, military flights are an option they could use if the Air Site did close down and they also have two ships, the navy in the region, that is how they evacuate people in the Lebanon War in 2006. The united Nations Security Council will meet Tomorrow Morning in New York to discuss the escalating violence in The Middle East. Sir Keir Starmer is on his way to new York Tonight where Helljoin World leaders at the un. President biden has been warning that a full Scale War in The Middle East is not in anyones interest. Our North America Editor Sarah Smith is at the un. President bidens top priority for months now has been to try to stop the war in gaza spreading across and engulfing the rest of The Middle East. Thats exactly what the fighting between Israel And Hezbollah looks like it might threaten to do. Thats why he was using his last speech to the un is the american president too, as you say, say full Scale War is not in anybody� s interest and insist a diplomatic solution was still possible. And yet at almost exactly the same time he was making that speech, israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted a Video In which he vowed to continue hitting hezbollah and said any homes in lebanon sheltering missiles would be destroyed. President biden really dearly wanted to try and achieve a ceasefire in gaza and the release of israeli hostages before he left office. Thats what he will continue to try and do in talks behind the scenes here at the un for the rest of the week where maybe some diplomacy can be done away from the main speeches and in Face To face talks. Sarah smith in New York, thank you. The Cybersecurity Firm that sparked a global Computer Crash Grounding thousands of flights around the world and hitting banks, the nhs and some media has apologised again during a grilling by the us congress. A Crowdstrike Executive has been explaining what went wrong and what might be done to prevent future outages. Our North America Technology correspondent, lilyjamali, reports massive Tech Outages are impacting airlines, businesses, offices, companies worldwide. The global it Outage Onley 19th led to aeroplanes being grounded, medical appointments being cancelled and broadcasters going off air. But how did such a massive error happen . Thats what lawmakers here on Capitol Hill were hoping to find out today. Members of congress had asked to question Crowdstrikes Ceo George kurtz, but the company sent its head of counter advisory operations, adam meyers, who didnt take questions on his way into the Hearing Room on tuesday. Whats your message for Lawmakers Today . Meyers instead staring straight ahead, a Press Handler saying he would speak only with lawmakers. Meyers began with an apology. Were deeply sorry and we are determined to prevent this from ever happening again.

Did ai do that or did an individual do that . Al was not responsible for making any decision in that process. It is part of a standard process.

At least one major us air carrier, delta, has vowed to take legal action. Shareholders of crowdstrike have already sued, saying the company concealed the inadequacy of its testing processes. Lilyjamali, bbc news, washington. A former Police Officer who defrauded members of a Horse Racing betting syndicate out of millions of pounds and used their money to pay for a lavish lifestyle has been jailed. 68 year old Michael Stanley convinced around 6000 people to gamble a total of 44 Million pounds over 6 years. He told them their bets were virtually risk free. Yet ge was spending their money on cars, racehorses and a spanish villa. Laura scott has the story. Thousands of peoples dreams have all been taken away. Thousands of people. And he didnt give a damn. It was just an out and out lie. Terry was one of more than 6,000 people conned intojoining a Horse Racing betting syndicate by this man, former police sergeant Michael Stanley. Anything to say to your victims, Mr Stanley . Between 2013 and 2019, they poured in £44 Million. But it all came crashing down when the Layezy Racing Syndicate was exposed as a ponzi scheme, where withdrawals were funded by new members deposits, effectively robbing peter to pay paul. Kent police said it was the biggest Fraud Case it has ever prosecuted. There was no underlying basis for the investment, no underlying reason for the promises of profits. And in fact, in one year he actually lost £1 million with one of the betting companies. The impact on these victims has been utterly immense. Many have lost their pensions, their Life Savings or their medical insurance payouts, and theyre facing a very uncertain future as a result of Mr Stanleys dishonesty. The court heard one member had lost nearly £500,000 and many had experienced Family Breakdowns and medical consequences. The judge said Stanleys Fraud had been sustained and sophisticated, funding what he called a lavish lifestyle. He said that Stanleys Statement that he had bought assets including villas in spain and classic cars with Members Money to store value would ring a little hollow with his victims, before sentencing him to six years in jail. Hes a rat, isnt he . I mean, you know, the whole thing. He set that up. He consciously set that up with the sole intention of taking peoples money. If you add up everything that cost the whole family, weve put in close to 200,000. Police said they hoped stanleys sentence onld deter those who seek to lie and cheat their way to financial prosperity. But many here said theyd lost more than money from a scheme that proved too good to be true. Laura scott, bbc news, maidstone. Well, before we go, lets Take A Look at the papers. Statements made by the Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer at Todays Labour Conference are dominating the front pages, as is the escalating situation in lebanon. The financial times leads with Sir Keir Starmer� s � stark choices as he vows to � Fix Britain at Todays Labour Conference. The daily telegraph opens with the Pms Statement in Todays Speech that the state will � take back control�. Staying with the conference, the guardian leads with the Prime Minister� s plea with the public to � keep the Faith And Britain will prosper�. The Daily Mail headlines the Mass Evacuation of british nationals in lebanon, with the assistance of Uk Troops in a � dunkirk style� rescue. And lastly, the Daily Star leads with a story about the Loch Ness Monster playing pranks on boaters. Headlined the � Loch Ness funster� and featuring an image of Sir Keir Starmer on a rowing boat. Octopus are highly intelligent and largely solitary creatures. But now new research suggests they could be more social than we thought, teaming up with groups of fish to hunt together. Not only that but it seems they punch the fish to keep them in order. The research was published in the journal nature, Professor Iain Couzin has been telling us what they discovered remarkably, the octopus, which is more closely related to snails in our garden than it is to ourselves, has this very amazing ability for intelligence. This is well known. Different species play different roles. A species called the goatfish goes out and explores and tries to find where food is, and it comes back and sort of effectively tells the octopus, i think there� s food over there. Another species for example may try to steal food from the octopus, and the octopus can get annoyed with this and roll up a fist and punch the individual to prevent it from stealing food. And so the octopus is really utilising the information provided by different species but ultimately he or she has more influence than the others about where they go. And then when they get there, the octopus, with its unique morphology, with those bendy arms, can go into the Coral Reef and can get food itself but can also flush out food that can be taken by some of the other species. It was thought to be solitary. It� s not like it has a complex social life with other octopus, and so it� s quite remarkable it has evolved this amazing ability to understand what different species are doing and how they coordinate their behaviours. We don� t think the fish really know that much about what� s going on, but the octopus definitely seems to. Now, time for the weather. Hello there. Well, following the recent heavy rain, there� s plenty of saturated ground out there, particularly across the South Midlands, and a lot of Standing Water too. This photo taken by our Weather Watcher in warwickshire on tuesday, when there was a bit of a break in all of the wet weather. A drier looking day, but there� s more rain to come, including here over the next couple of days, and then it turns colder but also drier as we head into the weekend. So this was tuesday, then, on the satellite picture. You can see this break in the Weather Systems there, a nice little gap. But wednesday� s low Pressure System approaches from the South West. And ahead of that for the rest of the night, there will be some heavy showers across parts of Southern England. Clearer skies further north, and actually across parts of scotland, temperatures could drop as low as freezing. This is a sign of things to come, of course. But a lot milder further south under quite a lot of cloud and, of course, some misty conditions over the flooded fields. And then on wednesday morning, heavy, persistent rain will push into South West england, moving further northwards and eastwards up through wales, approaching the South Midlands and central Southern England by the time we get into the middle part of the afternoon. It does stay largely dry further north and west, a few showers across northern scotland, The Cloud amounts increasing across eastern england as we head through the second half of the day. And then on Wednesday Night into thursday, our low Pressure System continues to push further northwards and eastwards. Notice the brisk easterly winds developing across parts of north east england, just driving more rain into north east england. This is where we� ll see the heaviest downpours, particularly over the higher ground of the north york moors. The rain stretching further west, out into northern ireland. Some showers to the north and to the south, but plenty of dry weather too. Feeling coolest, of course, across parts of scotland. And then our front starts to take a bit of a dive further south. It will really take its time as we head through Thursday Evening and into friday, not really clearing until the end of the day on friday. But behind it, we draw in more of a northerly wind, so temperatures are going to drop away to well below the seasonal average. And actually on friday night, as we see high Pressure Build in from the South West and the winds lighten, there could be quite a widespread frost. So, these will be the temperatures as we head through the weekend. Feeling cooler but largely dry, i think, for many on saturday. Bye bye for now. Now, hardtalk with mishal hussain. Welcome to hardtalk. I� m mishal husain. It� s nearly 80 years since the founding of the united nations, with cooperation to solve international problems a key purpose. Today, though, we have multiple international crises, with the limitations of the un system laid bare. My guest is martin griffiths, who worked for decades within the un and the wider world of humanitarian aid, shuttling between powerful people, trying to find common ground, seeing for himself the worst of our inhumanity to each other. From cambodia to afghanistan, sudan to gaza, he has seen it all. How does he make sense of the inequalities and the suffering . And how does he think the Aid System can survive with funding ever more squeezed . Martin griffiths, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you very much. Thank you for having me. Now, you� ve been in that seat on this programme before,
