That the us was involved in an attack on a military parade in the country, which killed 25 people. Hassan rouhani says america and its gulf allies backed the assault, a claim strongly denied by the Us Ambassador to the United Nations. Mr rouhani made his comments as he prepared to travel to new york, where the Un General Assembly will convene for its annual meeting of World Leaders on tuesday. From new york, heres our diplomatic correspondent, james robbins. Gunfire the moment the shooting started. Irans elite revolutionary guards under attack on home soil. Many forced to dive for cover, as a parade to honour them is ambushed by opponents of the government. Soldiers and civilians died as others fled for their lives. An Anti Government arab group based in this area of south west iran said it was responsible, but militants of so called Islamic State also claimed this as their work. But irans president rouhani is blaming what he calls the bully, the United States, and the gulf states which it supports and arms, including saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. Translation the small puppet countries that we see in the region are backed by america and the United States is provoking them and giving them the necessary capabilities to commit these crimes. But the United States denies any involvement, urging president rouhani instead to examine his own behaviour. Whoever precisely was behind the attack in iran, it has injected yet more poison into relations between President Trump and irans president rouhani. Both leaders will be here at the United Nations in new york this week, trading accusations and insults with greater intensity than ever. It means that the voices of americas european allies, including britain and france, still urging moderation, are likely to be all but drowned out. This was always going to be an extremely confrontational week here at the United Nations in new york. President trump will see to that when he chairs a Security Council meeting for the first time, and focuses on iran. But the atmosphere in a polarised world suddenly feels even more unpredictable. James robbins, bbc news, new york. Suzanne maloney is Deputy Director of Foreign Policy at the brookings institution, in washington. I asked her what is likely to happen at the un this week considering the tension between the us and iran. I think its going to be a very interesting week. Weve got high profile speeches by both president rouhani and President Trump, and of course President Trump will be chairing a meeting of the un Security Council, which has been alternatively described as either focused on non proliferation generally or on iran specifically, so i think its quite clear that trump wants to use this week as a way to send a message directly to the iranian leadership. The secretary of state, mike pompeo, did an interview with us at the bbc where he was saying donald trump wanted to push back against iran and proliferation. What do you think that means . Well, i think its been quite clear since Trump Took Office he has sought to push up the temperature on tehran. He obviously walked away from the nuclear deal, which was more than a decade in the making in terms of the negotiations, and has reimposed an array of fairly stringent sanctions on iran that have really impacted the iraniand economy. I think what hes looking for out of this is to see some degree of leverage in terms of pressing iran to turn away notjust from its Nuclear Ambitions but from a number of policies about irans treatment of its own people, and especially about iranian extension of influence around the region. Pompeo laid out many of these conditions in a speech he made last may at the Heritage Foundation here in washington. I think its highly unlikely the iranians are prepared to move on all of these many issues. At the same time, there really under a great deal of pressure at the same time, theyre really under a great deal of pressure at the moment and its quite clear there is a debate on in tehran about whether or not theres a possibility of playing to the president s ego, of flattering through some kind of summitry in the same way that the North Koreans have. Sorry to jump in there, would that take the form of an actual meeting between trump and the iranians do you think . Its highly unlikely, but its certainly what the president would like to see, President Trump. The iranians of course have a highly complicated political environment. The supreme leader, who is the final authority in iran, has officially banned any formal negotiations with the Trump Administration as a result of the politics of the nuclear deal and the american policy towards tehran. But the same time theres a recognition that iran doesnt have a lot of good options, and if theres a chance of using the president s own interests of having a high profile summit to their advantage, its not improbable the iranians will seek some sort of backchannel with the administration. For more on the Un General Assembly meeting this week and all our stories, just go to our website in the maldives, the opposition candidate Ibrahim Mohamed solih has claimed victory in the president ial election. His supporters have held celebrations in the capital, male. In his victory speech he said it was a moment of happiness and hope. He called on his rival, president abdulla yameen, to accept the will of the people. This is the happiness. A moment of hope. A moment of history. The many of us, this has been a difficult journey. A journey that has left a prison cell, use of exile. A journey and a complete plan to station and breakdown of public institutions. But it has been a spiritjanie that has ended at the other box because the people will lead. Mohamed jun ed is a journalist based in the capital, male. He says the result isnt a surprise. In terms of how president yameen has consolidated his power over the last five years, it has been described by human rights ngos, and human rights mechanisms, as a crackdown on the opposition, the media, and society as well. We saw yameen jail his political opponents, including all leaders of all opposition parties. On the background of that, i think a lot of people. Even though there was confidence around how many votes Ibrahim Mohamed solih, the opposition candidate, could win, there was still nervousness about what really happened in the polls. I guess in a way you can describe it as a surprise, but more than the political opposition were saying we are very confident of winning here. And hes described his win now and his promise to move back to democracy, what kind of changes will he bring in . One of the first things that that he has promised to do is free all people, the former president and former Vice President , the defence minister as well. He has also promised to revert back some laws that have been described as draconian measures, like the antidefamation act, which has been described by the United Nations human rights commissioner as a war law that has effectively annulled the right to freedom of speech.

The challenge is enormous. Translation we followed up the situation and identified the damage. It is huge. But people must understand it is the first time in tunisia s history that such volumes of rain fell in just 2a hours. It even surpassed what happened in 1986 and 1995.

Here, the leader of the labour party, Jeremy Corbyn, has confirmed that labour would support another referendum on brexit, if delegates backed the idea, at the partys conference in liverpool. Mr corbyn says hed prefer a general election, but would abide by the decision of members. His comments came as thousands joined an anti brexit march in liverpool. From there, our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg reports. What do we want . Peoples vote when do we want it . Now their voices are getting louder. I cant see that we have anything to gain through brexit. Protesters pushing for another vote on the eu. We need to know what the deal actually is. Determined to make the labour party heed their calls. Amazing, amazing, amazing can you hear us, Jeremy Corbyn . Listen to us. Hear us. Give us a peoples vote. Remember, Jeremy Corbyns existing labour plan is to leave the eu, like the tories, but negotiate a different deal. Yet most of his members would love to stay in the union. Is he really edging towards giving the public another say . Our preference would be for a general election and we can only negotiate our future relationships with europe. Let us see what comes out of conference and then obviously i am bound by the democracy of our party. Cheering and applause in liverpool, his audience is wildly enthusiastic about him and many of them about the eu, too. But labour members are not the same as labour voters, who are not in this room. Many of who voted for brexit. So some ofJeremy Corbyns friends in high places are hanging back. There are significant numbers of traditional labour supporters who are saying, we are going to vote conservative, because we dont trust labour to take us out of the european union. Believing you cant just ask the question again. The referendum shouldnt be on do we want to go back into the european union. That shouldnt even be an option . No, because the people have already decided like anything in politics in 2018, it is not straight forward to agree. Already today, there has been a conference clash over changes to party rules, with unions and members voting different ways. Later, delegates gathered, going behind closed doors to argue about exactly what the brexit promise should be. A vote on leaving the eu, after another election . A vote on the final deal . Activists are likely to get their way at the conference this week, with the promise of a possibility of another vote on europe. But it is likely to be a question of if, not when. Jeremy corbyn has always said he would be guided by the partys huge membership, but they are likely to get some, not quite all of what they want. Those on the platform will not and cannotjust please their party. They need to heed their potential voters among the public, too. Now this isnt the usual thing youd go searching for to buy online, but an australian couple managed to find exactly what they were looking for in the form of an ex new zealand warship. For a few hundred thousand dollars, paul and wilma adams became the proud owners of the Royal New Zealand navy dive tender manawanui. But this is no self indulgent impulse buy, there is a serious side to why they wanted to buy the ship. Well, it seemed the best way to do it in todays world. You can pretty much get anything on the internet, they tell me, and weve proved it right, i guess. We had to pick it up ourselves actually. We sailed it back from new zealand in july this year back to australia. The long and short story is that its 70 years since the second world war, and there are, worldwide, approximately 8,000 shipwrecks sunk during the war, 3,000 in our backyard here in the pacific, and theyre starting to leak oil. So we wanted to investigate and find out exactly what we needed to do about that. We dont feel theres enough being done. We went diving up in micronesia, and four out of the ten shipwrecks we dived on were leaking oil. We started to investigate and find out what, and why and whos doing something about it, and basically we came up cold, found out that very little is being done about it, very few people know about it. This is a worldwide problem, you guys are going to have the same. We only have 3,000 sunken ships here, theres 8,000 worldwide. The fact that theyre starting to corrode to the extent that theyre leaking oil is going to be a very serious problem for us all. The mid autumn festival is in full swing in certain parts of asia. It was once a celebration that took place after the harvest where families and friends treated one another to moonca kes, a stuffed pastry traditionally made of lotus paste with an egg yolk centre. However, its turned into a 2 billion industry. We spoke to shoppers in singapore buying these extravagantly wrapped delicacies. Mooncake usually are round because it just means, like, Family Reunion and togetherness. Most of us meet up on the festival for that reason. And the moon on that day will be super round as well, so its, like, just like mooncake. We love, like, sort of sticky, chewy things, so the insides are always sticky and chewy and sweet. I guess its definitely the flavours, different flavours that are attractive. And the new flavours that are around are very attractive for young people, so. My dad always loves the traditional ones. Im buying for both, and im paying for both as well. Well, i have particular brands to go for, particular flavour as well, but i also look at the design. As you can see, the designs are more and more interesting, and its quite practical as well because they come with a drawer where you can keep your stuff.

Dont forget you can get in touch with me and some of the team on twitter im lvaughanjones hello. After a rather autumnal sort of weekend, the weather is looking a little bit better for many of us, as High Pressure builds through this week. This was the scene as the sun set on sunday. After a soggy sunday in the south, in whitstable there were some clear spells to end the day. Now, through this week, as High Pressure builds in, there will be a lot of dry weather with sunshine. Warmer in the south too. There will be more rain and more wind arriving across northern parts of the uk later on in the week. But back to the here and now, monday morning dawns on quite a chilly note. Weve got a big area of High Pressure in charge, so that is keeping things largely dry to start off with. And under those clear spells, temperatures first thing could be near freezing in a few rural spots. Through the morning, though, after that chilly start, lots of sunshine on offer. One or two showers around through monday across parts of north west scotland. Perhaps a few filtering into the north west of england too. But for the majority of people, youre in for a dry, fine day. It will be a little bit warmer than recent days, with those winds a touch lighter too. So by the afternoon, temperatures between around about 13 to perhaps 16 degrees or so. A little bit warmer than it was on sunday, but still not great for the time of year. And then as we head through monday evening and overnight into tuesday, then we keep the High Pressure, keep the clear spells around too. Fairly light winds, so yet again, another cold night, especially in the south. For england and wales too the chance of a bit of frostiness, and perhaps some mist and fog fog patches first thing tuesday as well. Further north west, not quite as cool. A little bit more of a breeze blowing here. Through the day on tuesday, it is High Pressure that drives our weather. Weve got weather fronts moving into the north west, though. Thatll bring more cloud and outbreaks of rain to parts of Northern Ireland and scotland later in the day. England and wales on tuesday staying dry, fine and settled in the sunshine. Fairly light winds here, but the winds will be picking up further north. Could be gusting at around 30 or 40mph for exposed parts of north west scotland, with some outbreaks of rain here too. So really a north south split to the weather. A north south split to the weather. Warming up, though, 1a to perhaps 18 degrees or so, perhaps our top temperatures by tuesday afternoon. Looking ahead to wednesday, still more rain for the west of scotland with cloud here. Further south across england and wales, again, another dry, fine and fairly sunny day with those temperatures starting to creep up too. So we could see highs of up to around 20 degrees or so on wednesday, and it looks like it could get warmer still as we head towards the end of the week, especially in the south. Thursday probably the warmest day of the week with some sunshine, 22 degrees in london. A little bit fresher, but still dry with sunshine on offer across the country as we head through into friday. Not a bad week of weather. Enjoy. Bye for now.
