We will be speaking to the ceo of the Refugee Council a little later in the programme. Lets speak to enver solomon, ceo of the Refugee Council. We can speak to him right now. Hello to you. Its just another sad day, isnt it . Another occurrence of people drowning in the channel trying to make their way over to england. What are your first Thoughts Today . Its devAstating news, just days after the tragic loss of life of 12 people, another eight people have now perished in the channel and these deaths are not inevitable. It is important to note that. Its important to recognise that these are people from countries like afghanistan fleeing the taliban, from Syria Fleeing the taliban, from Syria Fleeing bombs and bullets are seeking safety in the uk, seeking safety in the uk, seeking to be given Refugee Protection and we need to look at ways of allowing them to come to the uk without having to take these dangerous journeys. To take these dangerous journeye to take these dangerous Ourne S. ~. ,. Journeys. We heard so much in the election journeys. We heard so much in the Election Campaign journeys. We heard so much in the Election Campaign from journeys. We heard so much in| the Election Campaign from the Labour Party talking about how they were going to crack down on the gangs and smugglers and that wAs going to be the real focus. What is your sense in terms of what is possible on that front . I terms of what is possible on that front . That front . I think there is more work that front . I think there is more work that that front . I think there is more work that can that front . I think there is more work that can be that front . I think there is i more work that can be done that front . I think there is more work that can be done to come in the words of the british Prime MinisterKeir Starmer, smAshed the gangs and disrupt their so called Business Model through seeking to prosecute those behind this awful people smuggling, but the reality is, and this is the lesson from seeking to tackle the shipment of drugs, illegal drugs right across europe and across the world, is that when you take out one particular kingpin at the top, of the criminal gangs, others will come in behind them so its very difficult to simply prosecute and police your way out of this challenge. You also need to look at other tactics and recognise that, whilst there is war, Persecution And Oppression in countries around the globe, people will, rightly so, seek safety in other countries. Global leaders need to come together to recognise it a complex issue and look at more solutions than simply smAshing the gangs and prosecution tactics. Its smAshing the gangs and prosecution tactics. Its such a complex prosecution tactics. Its such a complex Issue Prosecution tactics. Its such a complex issue particularly| a complex issue particularly because when they are in france there in a safe country, arent they . Its not like they are fleeing war torn country in france, when they are trying to come over to the uk and that is the argument from previous governments anyway about why this is such a difficult situation to deal with. Its also all about coordination with other countries, other European Countries affected. David Lammy Today hAs been talking about his meeting coming up Tomorrow Meeting Mr maloney in italy, and said hes interested in what they are doing with albania in the sense they accept Asylum-seekers'>Asylum Seekers on behalf of italy while their claims are processed. What do you think of that idea . I claims are processed. What do you think of that idea . You think of that idea . I think theres all you think of that idea . I think theres all kinds you think of that idea . I think theres all kinds of you think of that idea . I think theres all kinds of issues you think of that idea . I think theres all kinds of issues to i theres all kinds of issues to look at with the italian and albanian deal. It is not clear how people are going to be treated when they are held and remember they are going to be held in Detention Facilities in albania which raises questions about why you are treating people As though they are criminals when they are simply seeking safety, seeking to apply to be a refugee . So i think theres lots of questions and issues about the albanian deal and i understand that its important to look at solutions to what is a challenging issue, but its also important to recognise that the world hAs signed up to the international laws which say if you are a refugee you should be given protection. We provided protection. We provided protection right across europe for people who fled the war in ukraine. If you are fleeing a war in africa or other parts of the world its no different. We also need to uphold international rules which say that we should provide protection to people who are fleeing for their lives, fleeing for their lives, Fleeing Oppression and persecution.

What wAs different about this disAster is that it seems they got into trouble very, very quickly and the boat ended up on rocks so this wAsnt about going down the middle of the ocean because it wAs overcrowded, puncturing or whatever, and tipping over, it wAs a that very swiftly got turned back onto the coAst and got torn up on the rocks. The Security Rescue services where there quickly but they found it very hard to get access because it wAs dark and it wAs rocky and very, very difficult operationally to rescue the survivors and at The End of the day they were dead. They were all above 18 years old, mails, and their nationalities were eritreans, sudanese, afghan, eritrea ns, sudanese, afghan, iranian eritreans, sudanese, afghan, iranian i seem to recall.

Thanks very much for speaking to us. We can show you pictures in southern poland, the most affected area for flooding, and many people have died. This town in the south, this comes As more bad weather is forecAst for sunday right across parts of central and eAstern europe after torrential rain caused severe flooding. At leAst four people have died in romania. Authorities in austria are reporting that one firefighter hAs died tackling floods there. Several remain unaccounted for also in the Czech Republic. The rain caused by Cyclone Boris hAs mainly hit the eAstern part of romania and authorities are creating Displacement Camps and sending Emergency Aid to those forced to evacuate their homes. The torrential rains also had several other countries in the region including the Czech Republic with 38 locations have declared the highest Flood Alert for the authorities say the worst Rainfall And Flood risk should be experienced in the next 2a 48 hours. Our Warsaw Correspondent Adam eAston hAs been following developments. The situation hAs deteriorated quite rapidly here. Over the lAst few hours. Donald tusk the Prime Minister of poland hAs been speaking after a Crisis Management Meeting in the South West of the country just by the czech border actually, where he confirmed the first fatality, a person is drowned here in poland. And he said 1600 residentsjust in here in poland. And he said 1600 residents just in the town where he wAs talking from have been evacuated and he urged people to cooperate with the Emergency Services to evacuate their homes, leave their homes if they are called to do so. He also said they had lost mobile phone coverage, internet coverage, and are having to rely on landlines. For much of a communication in this area. Also the military are being drafted in, Military Helicopters and transporters, drafted in to help the people in these towns which are flooded, which have seen lots of images on Social Media being posted, particularly of this town where he wAs talking from and another town, which the River Level there hAs broken over the makeshift sandbank and is now flooding into the historic town centre. The mayor of that time hAs made a dramatic appeal, saying we are drowning, pleAse, everybody, evacuated to higher ground. So the situation is deteriorating quite markedly here in poland but prime Minister Donald Tusk said he didnt think, even though there hAs been more rainfall in the lAst few days, 20 centimetres in some parts, than there were in 1997 in the dramatic floods there where more than 100 people died in poland and the Czech Republic. He said the infrAstructure that hAs been put in place since those terrible floods should help the situation. He is talking about reservoirs, dry reservoirs which can be open to take the Flood Water in and also the anti flood dams which have been built in the 20 years since those terrible events. Adam eAston reporting. The us national security adviser, jake sullivan, says intense conversations are still taking place among Western Allies on whether to let ukraine Attack Russia with donated long range weapons. The subject wAs discussed on friday at a meeting between Joe Biden and Keir Starmer, but no conclusion wAs announced. Ukraines President Zelensky expressed frustration after the meeting. But white houses top Security Advisor hAs now insisted the issue is still on the agenda and that President Biden will use his remaining months in office to Position Ukraine towards victory. Jake sullivan spoke to a Security Conference in kyiv by video link. Lets take a listen to what he had to say. And i think having a conversation that puts all of the pieces together, what we can offer up, what we can support ukraine with, and then how ukraine looks at that in the context of a strategy for diplomacy, that is what we hope to bring together at The End of this month in new york. President biden at that point will still have four months left in his term and he is determined to use those four months to put ukraine in the best possible position. Speaking on the bbc� s Laura Keunssberg programme, the Foreign Secretary, david lammy, wAs pressed about whether the uk will grant zelensky� s request to use long range missiles. This request from President Zelensky for long range missiles is a long Standing Request hes been making for well over a year. What is important is that allies are able to come together with President Zelensky and ukrainians to Assess what is needed now and given the advancesin needed now and given the advances in kursk, their desire to keep provost, clearly ukraine hAs taken back half of the territory that russia took in the donbAs region, again a major advance, we want to put ukraine in the strongest position going forward. I cant tell you operationally on air what we will or wont do, and i particularly wont do that at a time when russia is buying ballistic missiles from iran and escalating further. But pleAse understand this is under careful discussion with the ukrainians, As we Assess what they need As they head into that winter. Conservative leadership candidate, and former Foreign Secretary, James Cleverly told Laura Keunssberg he believes ukraine needs to be able to Project Force beyond its borders. This untenable for ukraine to pmperly this untenable for ukraine to properly defence itself from missiles coming in from russia, if It Caffl missiles coming in from russia, if it cant neutralise the launch if it cant neutralise the launch sites and we are replaying this conversation now replaying this conversation now i replaying this conversation now. I think its very disappointing that the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary went to the usa and came secretary went to the usa and came back without that commitment. Came back without that commitment. � ,. , � came back without that commitment. � �. , commitment. But you didnt do it in government commitment. But you didnt do it in government and commitment. But you didnt do it in government and said it in government and said youre making the argument but the conservative government didnt do it. The conservative government didnt do it didnt do it. Well, when we were in government didnt do it. Well, when we were in government and i i didnt do it. Well, when we i were in government and i wAs foreign were in government and i wAsForeign Secretary, we constantly pushed our allies to allow constantly pushed our allies to allow the ukrainians to do more so we allow the ukrainians to do more so we pushed for main Battle Tanks so we pushed for main Battle Tanks and eventually we got main tanks and eventually we got main Battle Tanks, we pushed foriels main Battle Tanks, we pushed forjets and eventually we got jets. Forjets and eventually we got jets. We forjets and eventually we got jets, we pushed for the use of those jets, we pushed for the use of those long range missiles within those long range missiles within ukraines territorial boundaries, we eventually got to that boundaries, we eventually got to that so we have been at the front to that so we have been at the Front Edge of this constantly and, Front Edge of this constantly and.

But even though the uk and ireland are set to host the next competition in 2028, england have been what they could be denied the chance to bring football home.

The government hAs defended the early releAse of prisoners, after it emerged a former inmate allegedly sexually Assaulted a woman on the same day he wAs freed. Labour said the early Ase-scheme'>ReleAse Scheme wAs necessary because the party had inherited prisons on the brink of collapse. Our reporter simonjones hAs more. Prisoners celebrate with friends As they are releAsed from jail early. The government says its scheme is necessary to stop the collapse of the criminal justice system. But one man let out On Tuesday from this prison in kent is already back behind bars. He is accused of sexually Assaulting a woman in sittingbourne on the day he wAs freed. He is alleged to have touched her without her consent. On tuesday, around 1,750 prisoners were releAsed early in england and wales, the policy sees the proportion of sentences which some inmates may serve behind bars temporarily cut from 50 to A0 , but latest figures suggest more than one quarter of prisoners will go on to reoffend within a year of being releAsed. The problem is there are no guarantees that anyone whos releAsed early will not reoffend, because we have to do ourjob in our prisons of trying to rehabilitate people. We simply cannot do that if we are used AsHuman Warehouses and are overcrowded. We must be given a chance to give people hope. The Ministry Ofjustice says it cannot comment on individual cAses but says anyone breaking licence conditions on releAse or who commits further crimes will be punished. And the government says without the early Ase-scheme'>ReleAse Scheme, police would not be able to make arrests, and the court would not be able to hold trials. The Prison Population in england and wales hAs dropped by more than 2,000 in a week following the meAsures that deal with overcrowding. Next month, up to another 1,700 prisoners are due to be releAsed early and the government will be monitoring the latest reoffending figures too. Simon jones, bbc news.
