Thank you very much for your time, i appreciate this is a busy day for you. Could you start by bringing us up to date with the latest . We still have some 70 fires burning across New South Wales and more than 40 across New South Wales and more than a0 of them i get to be brought under control. We are talking about a massive area we are dealing with, some 600 or 700,000 hectares of bushland that is a light. So we are having to deal with that ahead of these worsening conditions on tuesday. So we have literally got firefighters out there protecting properties at the moment, being supported by water bombing helicopters. 0ur supported by water bombing helicopters. Our real concern is actually moving into tuesday, where we are expecting temperatures in the high 30s although a0s, humidity in single digits, and winds gusting upwards of 80 kilometres an hour. So we have got grave concerns for tuesday. Just ahead of tuesday, i wa nt to tuesday. Just ahead of tuesday, i want to go back to that warning to people to really get out or look after themselves or risk not getting help. That is quite a stark warning . 0bviously with such a broad area thatis 0bviously with such a broad area that is now at risk, we need people to obviously understand that when they do ask for assistance, but a fire truck may not be able to turn up. When the winds are at those strengths, we may not be able to get you aerial support. We are trying to encourage everybody to use this weekend to prepare. So many homes are weekend to prepare. So many homes a re lost weekend to prepare. So many homes are lost due to ember attack. That is little bits of material floating on the winds and landing an and around homes. We are encouraging people to clean out their gutters, trim bushes back from around the house, mow the lawn, clear timber away from the side of the house. Because ultimately that can make the difference in the coming days whether or not your home survives the fire. We have used that view was right around the planet. Give us an idea of how unusual or regular these kinds of fires are in New South Wales . Kinds of fires are in New South Wales . The actual weather conditions we have had over the last few days are typically what we would see in the middle or the worst parts of summer. The middle or the worst parts of summer. We have had an extraordinary start to this fire season already. We will be approaching, i guess, i million hectares of bushland that has been burnt. We have already lost 100 homes prior to this, this further 150. We have lost two lives. The numbers are starting to stack up. And at this stage the bureau of meteorology is predicting more of this weather over the coming months. So it doesnt bode well for the rest of the fire season. We have been stretched across New South Wales, an extraordinary amount of fire, and u nfortu nately extraordinary amount of fire, and unfortunately it looks like we have more to come. Then, we wish you all the best with your efforts to tackle those fires. That was ben shepherd from the Rural Fire Service headquarters in sydney. Staying with wildfires, but this time in california.

Ceremonies have been taking place in germany to mark the 30th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall, once a potent symbol of the cold war divide between east and west. Chancellor angela merkel, who grew up in east germany, called on europeans to stand up for freedom, tolerance and human rights. Jenny hill reports from berlin. This city set the world alight 30 years ago. Tonight, berlin is still on fire. Cheering. The wall was loathed, feared, resisted. In the end, it couldnt hold them back. Cornelia was 11 when communist east germany came tumbling down. I remember also when we could go to the west part, the smelling. I will never forget about the smelling in the shops because it was such an amazing smell, i never had before. In 1961, the world looked on as brick by brick east berlin became a prison, its citizens sealed off from friends and family in the west, trapped in an oppressive communist regime. Monika was among them. The wall, she told us, tore her family apart. She never knew her grandfather, who lived in the west. By the time the wall fell, he was dead. Angela merkel, leading commemorations today, also grew up behind the iron curtain. It shaped her politics, her aversion to borders and walls. But even she admits divisions remain between the old east and west. The revolution was astonishingly bloodless. This, many declared, the birth of a new world order, one which some warn is at risk today. Translation the values upon which europe is founded freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law, the preservation of human rights. They absolutely cannot be taken for granted and must constantly be defended. For germany, this is a bittersweet day. A commemoration of hardship endured, a celebration of freedom won, but a chance too to reflect on new divisions. But tonight, lit up with celebration, berlin will simply remember the day so many never dared to hope would come. As part of the days events, mrs merkel also remembered the victims of the nazi persecution ofjews. Its 81 years since the organised brutal attacks on synagogues, homes, hospitals, and businesses across nazi germany and austria. During the Memorial Service the chancellor said it was a day of fate in german history, as the country also remembered the crimes committed againstjewish people in the night of november the 9th to the 10th in 1938 that became known as kristallnacht. President trump says hes likely to release the transcript of a second phone call with the ukrainian president as early as tuesday.

One of the places worst hit there is the village of fischler, near doncaster. The village residents are leaving behind. The roads in fishlake are like rivers tonight, unless you have a boat the only way to travel is by tractor. At times like these, the local farmers are happy to help out. Its how emergency supplies have been reaching residents, all of them alarmed by how quickly it happened. Ive never seen it like this all my life. Apparently it did flood in 1933 or so. Ive never seen it this bad. Some people here have decided to stay, but for one woman thats not an option. The prospect of being trapped could not be more serious. We only moved in five weeks ago. Im waiting for a transplant. 13 miles away in bentley, residents are counting the cost of the clear up. All this has got to be replaced. Diane cordons family were flooded in 2007 and couldnt afford new insurance. They say they want help and the council isnt providing it. As soon as possible, we need skips. They say that the wagons cannot go through because of the water. Cars are managing to get through, as you can see, so can a wagon with a skip on the back of it. What are we supposed to do with this . Get on with it . Leave you to it . What are we supposed to do with all this rancid, smelly, contaminated stuff . Doncaster council has described the situation as highly complex and says its been very difficult to predict and control future events. In derbyshire, matlock has been one of the worst affected areas there. The woman who died after being caught in floodwater near darley dale has today been named as the former high sheriff annie hall. Shes been described as a great leader who will be hugely missed. It will be weeks before this village and others like it reach some kind of normality. In the meantime, the government says its launched an Emergency Fund so local authorities can help safeguard peoples lives and property. This is the village of stainforth, just a mile away from fishlake, and the police are going to stay here throughout the night. Theyve got to stop people from crossing that bridge. The river don is a tidal river and it remains dangerously high. Cyclone bulbul has made landfall near the border of india and bangladesh, bringing heavy rain and winds of up to 135km h. Up to two million peple have left their homes for safety, but two deaths have been reported. 0ur south asian editor, anbarasan ethirajan, explains how improved preparedness has helped save lives. In the past, hundreds of thousands of people have been killed in cyclones in bangladesh but we have developed a radio system and are working with the un and other agencies and have enlisted thousands of volunteers. One of the first things they will do is send Text Messages to mobile phones to various fishermen and villages across southern bangladesh. And then they sent to different villages using loudspeakers to tell people that they now need to go to safety. Otherwise they will also use army and security forces, physically putting people into shelters. These are some of the methods they use and they also use television and radio to warn people about the danger. They have realised that unless they moved to some safety that their lives will be in danger and that was one of the reasons why people think they can tied over and sit on the top of the roof and, if we spend another few hours we will be fine but bangladesh has learned its lesson and Disaster Management for the last few years has been good. And how large an area do we expect to be affected . 12 coastal districts and there are millions of people in these areas and many fishermen have been warned to not go into the sea for the past few days. In a neighbouring state of west bengal we already have reports of how the cyclone is making an impact. There have been a few deaths. The full extent of it, once the cyclone crosses the path in india and bangladesh we will know after a few hours because the authorities will then be able to assess how much damage the cyclone has done.

Today hindus celebrated after they were granted land which had been bitterly contested. Land here, in one of the holiest cities in india ayod hya. But muslims have also worshipped here for generations. Its in this town that the 16th century babri mosque once stood. Until it was torn down by hardline hindu groups in 1992. The communal violence which followed killed at least 2,000 people across india. Building a temple in ayodhya has long been a key plank of the ruling hindu nationalist bjp partys agenda. Todays judgement is being seen as a key victory for the party, which is led by Prime Minister narendra modi. Translation india is known for unity and diversity and its reflected in todays verdict. It is a golden chapter in indiasjudicial system. But some wonder where it leaves the secular values india was built on. Translation i think this country is on its way to becoming a hindu nation. Bjp and its allies are driving this agenda. Muslims will now be given a separate plot of land to build a mosque. While many believe todays verdict hands something to both sides, will it make a lasting difference in healing this countrys deep religious divides . Rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news, delhi.

Mark weisbrot is co director of the center for economic and policy research in washington, and he joins us now from there. How serious is this situation now . People are using words like cuba, are we people are using words like cuba, a re we really people are using words like cuba, are we really there yet . people are using words like cuba, are we really there yet . I think it is serious. I think the opposition or the leadership at least is trying to overthrow the government. A near majority, a7 of the people voted for the president , which was over ten points more than the next runner up. Ten points more than the next runner sorry ten points more than the next runner up. Sorry to interrupt straightaway, but those results are exactly what is disputed. Do you have a in those results because yellow if youve noticed, you can read dozens, hundreds of articles since october 20 on the web since the selection. And not one present even one shred of evidence that the election was in doubt, stolen, or anything else. So this is a very bad, i think, anything else. So this is a very bad, ithink, it anything else. So this is a very bad, i think, it was very bad decision on the part of the organisation of american states. They put one sentence into their press release after the election, without any evidence whatsoever, implying that there was something wrong with the result and so that was picked up by most of the media. But you can look at any website for any major News Organisation in the world and no one has yet presented any evidence. And thats because there isnt any. You dont even need a statistical analysis, we did one, which you can see at cep are. Net. But you can look at the numbers from the election and there is nothing that indicates anything was wrong. 0k, that indicates anything was wrong. Ok, well, given that, why are so many out on the street then, do you think . Welcome you had a lot of people in 2009 on the streets trying to overthrow the government then. And so you do have an opposition that wants to get rid of this government and they have used violence in the past. And so its not that surprising, but a thing the media has played a huge role by simply repeating over and over again this allegation, which is really nothing, at this point, more than an unfounded conspiracy theory. Because there is nothing to indicate that theres something wrong with the result. And the organisation of american states is there now conducting an audit on the opposition refuses even to accept that, because they want to get rid of the government. What about this other line that has been reported than about police and the polices role here . No, there have been some belief that have supported the opposition. You have to remember that the oas result was very important. They are under enormous pressure from the centre to Trump Trump Administration and senator rubio to get rid of this government. Are you are saying that there are forces in washington that there are forces in washington that would like a change of government . How involved are they in supporting . Are you saying they are behind protest on the street is the relationship was mac i think the most obvious relationship is with the oas. The us surprise over 6096 of the oas. The us surprise over 6096 of the funding for the oas. Rubio has pressured them before and so has the trump administration. So they are under pressure and there are people inside the oas who know this. And they are under pressure to say this. They didnt put it in their second press release may still havent released one shred of evidence that there was something wrong with the vote count all the result. So people. We have talked to people. People know that this is wrong and, hopefully, they will be honest about the audit, because they are not going to find any evidence of fraud. 0k, going to find any evidence of fraud. Ok, mark, thank you very much. Really interesting talk to you. Thank you. Thank you. Its been a busy day on the Election Campaign trail, with the main parties unveiling new policy pledges. The conservatives have announced plans to train more gps, while labour and the liberal democrats are focussing on more support for childcare. Heres our political correspondent, iain watson. Its enough to raise your blood pressure. You know what its like. Try to get a non urgent appointment with your doctor and you can wait days, sometimes more than a week. Today, the conservatives promised an injection of more gps into the Health Service in england by 2025. The package will deliver 6,000 more doctors in primary care and that will lead to 50 million more appointments. I know how frustrating it is when you cannot get a gp appointment fast enough. But hang on what happened to the 5,000 gps the conservatives promised at the 2015 election . That target has not been reached. The reality will be seeing these delivered on. Whichever government we have it a few weeks time, we need them to recognise the stressed state of general practice and we need them to recognise that these promises are solid and should be delivered on and they should be delivered swiftly. Labour claim Public Services have got worse since the conservatives came to power. Jeremy corbyn was at a childrens arts project in leeds but says many facilities have closed in recent years. He says he will tell us how they will pay for it later in the campaign. We are determined to open Childrens Centres so that sure start can be a reality, as it was in the past for so many of our children. All of our funding commitments will be clearly there in the grey book that will be published alongside our manifesto. Not to be outdone, at a rally in london the lib dem leader had her own offer on childcare. A liberal democrat government will provide working parents with free, high Quality Childcare from when their child is nine months old until their first day at school. There has not been too much talk of the b word for the politicians today although stop brexit is part of the official Lib Dem Campaign slogan and jo swinson has tried to convince us and, indeed, some of her own Party Members that she has a much broader agenda. Usually at elections politicians never miss the opportunity to kiss a baby. Today, though, it is the parents who are being love bombed but high Quality Childcare does not come cheap. Certainly whoever is in power will have a struggle between making sure the funding rate is high enough that providers can deliver the high quality care that they want to but at the same time keep control of the overall cost. Theres clearly an appetite for policies other than brexit on the political menu. Today, there was plenty of sweeteners for the voters. But there is still no such as a free lunch.

The rain clearing south part england by the end of monday morning.
