and, the chinese property that was facing demolition, whose owner figured out how to stave off the city's bulldozers — posters of xijinping pasted on every surface. joe biden is not having a good week — the row with the french, the row over spending within his own democratic party, and now a row over the treatment of haitian migrants massed on the southern border. today, as if it wasn't bad enough, the special envoy for haiti quit, citing in his letter of resignation the "inhumane" policies of the biden administrration which he said were "counterproductive". on tuesday, these pictures emerged of border guards on horse back, with lassoos, forcing migrants back towards the rio grande river to the mexican side. over 1000 of the migrants who had crossed have since been flown back to haiti. in his letter, the envoy, daniel foote, said haiti was a collapsed state which could not cope with the return of thousands of people who lacked food and shelter. here who lacked food and shelter. is the bbc�*s will gran�* in the dead of night, immigration agents in northern mexico drag haitian families from their hotels as they sleep. just miles from their destination, they can go no further, no matter how desperate they are. even if they made it, they would have been greeted by scenes like this. as migrants attempted to cross from mexico to a makeshift camp in texas this week, they were pushed back by mounted border patrol officers using whips. the biden administration has already deported thousands back to haiti, prompting the us special envoy to resign in protest. deportation is these people's worst nightmare. having travelled from south america to the border town of mexicali, they gather in a haitian restaurant for the only meal a day they can afford. this man has lost more than most. his mother died and his father was left badly injured as the family home collapsed in the recent earthquake. having traversed 11 countries and the dense jungle of the darien gap to get here, he says he can't be sent back now. translation: there is nothing for me in haiti, nothing. - if they're going to send me back, they may as welljust kill me, just end it all. the late summer temperatures in mexicali are brutal. beyond this border wall lie many miles of inhospitable desert. yet the haitians who have arrived here in recent days say they will endure almost anything to avoid the same fate as many of their countrymen — deported from texas back to a country on its knees. meanwhile, there is no sign of an end to this crisis. tens of thousands of haitians are scattered in scores of mexican cities, and many thousands more are trapped en route in colombia. in truth, very few will be let into the us. migrant rights groups say the biden administration's policy towards haitians is exclusionary and racist. the united states has functioned for hundreds of years as a country that has not welcomed, provided opportunity, or provided justice to black people. and i think anyone who does this type of work at this point could not look themselves in the mirror and not say that there is an effort by the united states government to keep black people from entering. the biden administration is facing its biggest border crisis yet, but so far it's answers are the same as the trump administration's. across mexico, police continue to intercept buses and raid hotel rooms. close bilateral cooperation, or doing the americans�* dirty work. for the haitians travelling north, it amounts to the same thing. will grant, bbc news, mexicali. i'm joined now by patrice lawrence, co—director of the undocu black network, working with haitian migrants on the issue in dc, and former deputy chief of mission to haiti, ambassador vicki huddleston. we have just seen there in that package, streams of people coming across the river flowing into texas. politically, this is very difficult forjoe biden because he can't be seen to be a soft touch on immigration. what should

which was that he is going to be a president who is equitable to all people, especially black people. joe biden should remember when he went on vended knee in little haiti in my army and are said to

with black people, and they have made the choice and said to do that over compassion and care. i do not trust anyone at that border, at that moment, in those cars, or on horses, to provide care and compassion, which would be at the humane and just thing to do. america often prides itself as being the moral compass of the world, but they are showing that they have failed, that they have failed human beings, that they have failed human beings, that they are failing hey she, and they are failing their own principles. joe biden is no better than trump. in fact, he is perhaps worse, because he

inventories are replenished for the winter. but this year, natural gas within european storage sites is at the lowest level it has been at, in a decade. there's a global shortage, which has led to soaring prices. and it is european consumers feeling the pain. the rising price of wholesale gas has hit the uk particularly hard. 1.5 million gas customers have lost their supplier in recent weeks as several energy companies collapsed. the uk's regulator 0fgem has said it will appoint new suppliers for those customers, but they may face higher prices. across europe prices are soaring — to their highest level in years. theres a complex number of factors behind the price hike. an unusually cold spring, the pandemic of course, making it harder for companies to predict energy consumption and plan for storage — and on top of all that russia has slowed down its delivery of gas to the european continent. here's a map that shows average day—ahead energy prices across europe for the most recent day available — last sunday. you can see the uk leads the pack, with italy shortly behind. so, who better to talk to than ialian marco alvera, the ceo of europe's largest gas infrastructure company, snam. it operates 40,000km of gas pipelines across europe. and they have a subsidiary that operates here in the uk. can you tell us why there is a problem with gas storage here in the uk? ., ., , problem with gas storage here in the uk? ., .,, , ., ., uk? the uk had gas storage, the uk is less of the — uk? the uk had gas storage, the uk is less of the geological— uk? the uk had gas

that can be turned into gas storage is, but the uk took a decision not to subsidise storage and let the markets function. the uk is piggybacking on european storage. we have a pipeline to internet the uk to the belgium and the and the netherlands. the uk consumes about six times more energy in the winter than summer. when the uk is importing from the netherlands and belgium, it is actually importing from the storages based there. the uk physically harder storage, but let it shut down. —— physically had storage. pl. let it shut down. -- physically had storaue. �* ., ., let it shut down.

difference, but i do think they winter ahead is to be a tricky one. if it is warm, everything will be fine and crisis will come down to stop if it is very cold and called in at the wrong times, then this could be an issue. i truly hope brexit does not apply to energy. the bigger we are, the stronger we are, the more resilient we are. no change due to brexit yet,. but when that is a gash gas shortage, then situations can get tricky quite quickly.— tricky quite quickly. when you're talkin: tricky quite quickly. when you're talking about — tricky quite quickly. when you're talking about future _ tricky quite quickly. when you're talking about future proofing - tricky quite quickly. when you're - talking about future proofing energy into the future, does brexit help? i think in the medium to long term, it could help, because the uk has huge hygiene potential, it can produce green hydrogen from offshore wind, it can produce blue hydrogen from natural gas. it can become truly a exporter of that mother go to europe. people do not realise today we can make green hygiene at similar prices to the current ones of gas. in five years time, we will be making green hydrogen cheaper than oil. the uk has an opportunity because of its vast wind resources because of its vast wind resources because it has the industrial capabilities in scotland, the oil offshore industry can be repurposed for offshore wind. not being within europe gives it a degree of visibility and speed of execution. so i am not at all is said about the uk medium and long—term opportunity. but the next winter and probably coming wonders, due to the voice of the rise of demand in asia, but the main reason that china has added essentially in the us for years something of the size of the uk's market, switching from coal to gas in the house is. we will have a few winters which will be tricky and i really encourage people to think about how to fill up more storages in europe. if housing uk, i would maybe think about building some storage sites. you can score four stored gas for decades, just park it there and keep it for a cold winter. let's hope it's a balmy winter, that would really help. stay with us on bbc news — still to come: monday is shaping up to be a showdown in washington as congress will have to decide once again whether or not to raise the debt ceiling. campaigners have lost a high court challenge against the government, over legislation which allows the abortion of foetuses with the condition up until birth. they argued that allowing terminations in certain cases after 2a weeks is unlawfully discriminatory, butjudges today dismissed the case. the verdict was met with disappointment by those pushing for a change in the law. iama i am a mother of two fantastic little boys, tom and aidan, and i love and i evaluate my two children equally. the law, as it stands, and thisjudgment has equally. the law, as it stands, and this judgment has effectively ruled today that my children aren't equal, and that is so wrong. there is no reason that eden shouldn't be afforded the same rights and protection as any other child. —— aidan. the law powerfully communicates that his wife is of lesser value, and i believe that perpetuates negative stereotypes about disability. we came to really try and change it today, and unfortunately it didn't go our way. so, let's focus onjoe biden's other problem — his spending plans. it is not overstating the issue, to say the votes coming up these next few weeks could be the most consequential of his presidency. there are two spending bills pending that need to go through the house. the first is a bipartisan infrastructure bill, which comes before them on monday for a trillion dollars. which a few months ago looked like a win, but now the progressive wing of his democratic party have told the president they will not support it unless there is a guarantee that the senate will pass the second and much bigger budget bill for 3.5 trillion dollars. and in the senate, two democratic moderatesjoe manchin and kirstin sinema who he needs — say there's no way they can support such an enormous social safety net. separate to that, the issue of the debt ceiling. next month — as they do every year — congress will vote on whether or not to raise the legal limit on how much money the us federal government can borrow. that legal limit has been in place since 1917 and has been raised over 100 times normally on a bipartisan vote. the debt ceiling is not raised to cover new spending — it is raised to cover debts that have already been run up. and so they are voting in a sense to honour the cheques that donald trump had written. it is money already spent. and yet the republicans say they won't vote for it. so there is a risk that america could default on its debts. i'm joined now by ron christie, in washington, and amanda renteria in california. in washington, and amanda is in washington, and amanda it hyperbole to say thi the

bipartisan way because it is right for the country and you don't want to default and create a real storm within our economy. we have been there before, when the markets crashed and this happened.

in at the same circles at all. that is really what you're seeing in a lot of these polls. biden still president right now, so his emotion goes through these next steps of bringing it all together. it is imperative that he continues to talk about the unity message, but also goes on a proactive campaign to address any misinformation out there, keep talking about what trump did. i think it is important people not give up on the facts at hand in order to bring people back together. it is going to be a while before you can really bring down the intensity. in that period of time, we will all be watching congress. it is important that the leaders of our country come together and say we cannot let this economy fall. good evening. we have had an unusually warm september so far, there is some

frontrunners to succeed angela merkel as chancellor. i'm ros atkins, live in berlin, with an assessment of how the candidates fared. we will look through the major talking points of the debate and what the candidate said about what might happen when a coalition needs to be built. and the european commission unveils plans to force manufacturers to use a �*universal charger�* for mobile phones and other devices. we�*ll get reaction. we are into the home straight of the german election. the vote is on sunday, which will mark the end of angela merkel�*s 16 years as chancellor. and the latest poll shows it�*s the social democrats�* leading narrowly her conservative cdu. this is the latest kantar poll, the spd — led by 0laf scholz — are down one point at 25%. support for the cdu/csu alliance — led my armin laschet, who is running in place of angela merkel — is up one point at 22%. the greens — led by annalena baerbock — slip one point to 16%. and the business—friendly free democrats — of christian lindner — remain on 11%. guiding you through the election this weekend here on the bbc will be our colleague ros atkins who is berlin for us tonight. big event tonight. seven

it was an opportunity for all of| and it was an opportunity for all of the representatives of the parties. there have been three previous debates but they have just featured the candidates of the top three in the candidates of the top three in the polls that you have just listed, the polls that you have just listed, the cdu, social democrats and the greens. this time we had seven parties on the stage. a big opportunity for them to speak to all of those undecided voters. i think i would split my thoughts on this into two. the predictable part of it and the perhaps more interesting part of it. the predictable thing was they are actually all quite nice to each other because they know the way the polls are going, they know they are going to have to work with each other to form a coalition. they do not want to fall out very publicly with people they may need to get along with just a few days�* time when those coalition negotiations begin. the other thing, and you will know this from having covered lots of televised debates, when you have that many readers on stage, it can be quite hard for any person to get a point across. 0ne german journalist saying, when everyone talks, no one listens. perhaps it was a little inconclusive for that point of view. that was predictable. let�*s look at the interesting stuff. i would pick out two things, climate change is a big issue, all of the parties are saying they get that, but the cdu is under pressure, angler merkel is criticised as not having done enough in climate change. armin laschet is going to replace, and he says it will take an entire industrial revolution to do this. that is going to be a long process. it was still interesting to hear them talk about the scale of the project and to be engaging with that. that seems significant. lastly, the three primary candidates, the greens, social democrats and christian democrats all talked about wanting to engage more with the european union. you will know this from your time as correspondent in paris. in recent years, france has seen or engage with the evolution of the eu than germany has. they are the big two within the eu. all three were saying in different ways we need to crank up in different ways we need to crank up our engagement with the european union. that seems to be significant. the temperament is interesting. we have just been talking about the state of affairs in congress, how they could do with a bit of german politics there. it is certainly less divisive. germany burns a lot of coal. they have turned away from nuclear. if they are going to meet some of these climate targets, as you see, there will be going to have to step up, aren�*t they? thea;r you see, there will be going to have to step up, aren't they?— to step up, aren't they? they are

going to have to step up. it is not really a question of whether that needs to happen. all of the candidates, perhaps with the exception of the far right, acknowledge that this is an issue thatis acknowledge that this is an issue that is right now and is coming. it is all reallyjust about timing. you�*ve got the cdu saying we acknowledge we are using too much coal, we are going to stop it by 2038. i've coal, we are going to stop it by 2038. i�*vejust coal, we are going to stop it by 2038. i�*ve just interviewed a candidate for the greens, she said thatis candidate for the greens, she said that is not good enough. it needs to happen in 2030. earlier in the day, interviewed a woman from greta thornburg�*s movement, she said none of the parties are getting on with it enough. this needs to happen sooner still. it enough. this needs to happen soonerstill. no it enough. this needs to happen sooner still. no one is disputing that germany needs to get itself of coal, the question is about the timing. how quickly can germany do this without jeopardising jobs timing. how quickly can germany do this withoutjeopardising jobs and established industries question mark the parties to have

political science and international relations at coventry university. he�*s also the author of angela merkel: europe�*s most influential leader. we are going to talk about her in a second. but i want to ask, if you�*re a middle—class german, who has done pretty well, let�*s face it, under angler merkel over the last 16 years, who would they see as the continuity candidate?— years, who would they see as the continuity candidate? many people sa mat, we have got problems with your line. we will try to reboot that because i want to talk more about the german election. we will see if we can re—establish that. let�*s turn very quickly where we do that to israel. a battle is being fought for custody of a six—year—old boy, who was the only survivor of a cable car crash in italy which killed 14 people. his parents, brother and great—grandparents all died in the disaster, and his aunt, who lives in italy, was granted custody of the boy. but last week his maternal grandfather brought him to israel without permission. yolande knell reports from tel aviv. a family day out at a beauty spot in northern italy turned into tragedy back in may. a cable car took a deadly fall to the ground, tumbling down this slope. the parents and brother of six—year—old eitan biran were killed, and 11 others. his survival was hailed as a miracle and he went to live with his paternal aunt, a doctor in italy. so there was shock last week when his maternal grandfather visited and didn�*t return. instead, taking the boy on a private plane to israel. you can get an idea of how much media attention there is around this boy�*s case. his relatives who brought him to israel have been defending their actions are to journalists, trying to gain support in the court of public opinion. meanwhile, his italy—based family has said to us that this is alljust a nightmare. the boy�*s grandfather denies kidnapping him and says he acted in his best interests. the boy�*s aunt doesn�*t agree he should stay here. she told us she was living a nightmare. today, a family once united by grief is locked in an acrimonious legal row. that challenges international conventions to which israel and italy have signed up. a judge will now review the case, with another hearing set for next month. in the meantime, she is asking for steps to protect the six—year—old from further trauma. yolande knell, bbc news, tel aviv. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: why not having the right phone charger could soon be a problem of the past. we�*ll have a look at the eu�*s new one size fits all rule proposalfor phone eu�*s new one size fits all rule proposal for phone chargers. tenants are being evicted because of rent arrears built up over the pandemic — despite the government saying that covid wouldn�*t leave anyone without a home. one third of eviction hearings monitored in england and wales over the summer stated covid as the reason that rent hadn�*t been paid. 0ur social affairs correspondent michael buchanan reports. have got lots of favourites. in liverpool, joanne, marshall and little roman have two weeks to leave their home. all our incomesjust kept going down and down and down, and then we ended up in a bit of spiralling debt, to be fair. marshall�*s newjob as a chef fell through due to the lockdown. he did not qualify for furlough with his previous employer. and he couldn�*t find any work for one year. why is it not working? their bills racked up, they owe their landlord £4000, and have been served with an eviction notice. it is not how it is supposed to be, do you know what i mean? it makes me feel a bit sick. like, we both grew up coming from, you know, poverty, so we tried our best to get out of that. you know, we have always been working people. we wanted to, like, change the tide and things like that, and it is not easy to get out of. and then ijust feel like obviously roman hasjust been born into the exact same situation. it�*s not nice to feel. it�*s embarrassing. county courts have been inundated with landlords seeking to remove tenants since the ban on evictions was lifted in the summer. of the 270 possession orders analysed by the bureau of investigative journalism, one third of them, 88 cases, explicitly cited covid as the reason that rent arrears had arisen. he loves it. joanne and marshall are frantically trying to find another home, but have no deposit, a poor credit score, and rents are rising. marshall now has a job and is looking for a second one. yeah, he is teething this month. the young couple determined to rebuild the lives they once had. michael buchanan, bbc news. welcome back. there are so many things our politicians debate that are frankly superflous. they might not us affect us directly, we don�*t take a great interest, we are indifferent. but on this next story, i am most definitely interested. the european commission plans to force manufacturers to use a �*universal charger�*. that�*s right, one chargerfor all phones. a charger you can borrow in the office that actually fits on your phone. they want us all to use the usb—c charger for phones and small electronic devices. it will cut waste — of course it will cost waste — i�*ve personally lost hundreds of them. in fact, the commission�*s research estimates that disposed of and unused charging cables generate more than 11,000 tonnes of waste every year. it�*s a massive market. some 420 million mobile phones and other portable electronic devices were sold in the eu in the past year. but apple — whose iphone doesn�*t use usb—c chargers — are not happy. they say it will harm innovation. no, it won�*t, says the internal market commissioner thierry breton. it is not at all against innovation. it�*s not against anyone. it is just like everything we do, and like everything i do as a commissioner, and everything we do in commission, it is for the consumers. joining me is birgitte anderson, ceo of big innovation centre, a london—based think—tank and innovation hub and professor of the economics and management of innovation at birkbeck here in london. you are the right person to talk to for this. why do you think apple says it would stifle innovation? i think clearly they have been focusing maybe on revenue from mobile phone chargers. that is channelled into innovation of better mobile phone networks. but i�*m more interested in actually... and i think it is about innovation and competition, so maybe apple might be adversely affected by it, but attain eu level it will not have any implications for innovation. in fact, the european union wants to increase innovation by allowing the whole eu can produce against. it is madness, whole eu can produce against. it is madness. isn't _ whole eu can produce against. it is madness, isn't it? _ whole eu can produce against. it is madness, isn't it? when you think madness, isn�*t it? when you think one end of the charter is universal, which we all plug into a plug or the computer, and the other end isn�*t. i mean, the amount of waste that creates tells you that actually, on a whole range of issues across electronics, industry is going to have to read, isn�*t it, if we are going to meet some of these climate change targets? i going to meet some of these climate change targets?— change targets? i think the innovation _ change targets? i think the innovation and _ change targets? i think the innovation and competitionj change targets? i think the - innovation and competition argument for the reason for it is really a profound one. the whole argument against waste of electronic devices is a huge sustainability problem. there are mountains of microelectronic waste, computers, mobile phones, screens, printers, keyboards, fitments, watches, etc, and the chargers. the chargers are just a little drop in the ocean of this huge problem of waste and microelectronics. i think the waste argument is used to mobilise, of course, this big social movement. but i do not think that is really achieved by looking at the phone charger. however, the regulation on one side fits all charger might be achieved. ., ., ., ,, ., , achieved. come on, we all know this,

big profit. it might profit for apple. —— big profit. it might be cheaper to buy another charger. however, for the consumer, in some ways, it is a good thing. i want to say, this is really about the classic argument of competition of how standards are set in the united states and europe. i do not think people on an everyday basis are complaining about the price of chargers, although they should do. they�*re complaining about sustainability. the issue with government rules is that in the european union, we have what we call state regulated standards, but in the free—market usa, to use the free market mechanism. big companies in the usa standards are basically set through competition, where one standard is selected... and the european union, we have seven different —— 27 different countries having to agree on standards over the last 20, 30 years, the centres are usually set in committees and by state government regulation. it is the same in china and many other countries. i the

island of timbuktu. although its pace is seemingly slowing down. toxic ash has quoted the surrounding area, prompting thousands of people to flee for shelter. just on that volcano, we came across a picture earlier. take a look at this. it is dubbed the miracle house. this picture shows the house surrounded on two sounds by rivers of lava from the volcano. the owners are apparently a retired danish couple. i think it is good to be quite a while before they get back to their house. —— going to be quite a while. let�*s hope it stays like that. we were talking about the german election. matt

in the uk. she is universally liked across europe. after 16 years in power. that is pretty remarkable. it is pretty remarkable. it is because she has taken politics out of the whole equation. there is a famous german saying that policy is where you define the difference between friend and enemy. a lot of politicians have made populist remarks, it is governed by a spreadsheet and treats politics in

even how to save money when you are out shopping? probably more people than we think could do with a simple explainer. and that�*s what17—year—old logan lin does, each week, on a podcast he broadcasts from california to the world. he teaches his generation gen z to be financially smart. it is a show he is recording in his final year of school, designed to simplify complex business terms and make them more engaging. and while he is doing that, he is interviewing some of the biggest finance gurus in the world. the podcast is called finanzee. and logan lin is with us. great to have you with us

about the great depression. i learned about the great depression back in tenth grade, and i read watched videos about how poor financial divorce or decision—making lead to bankruptcy and poverty. that made me realise i needed to educate myself and fellow students about what it means to be financially literate. as you and i both know, the great depression started with the stock market crash in 1929. people started borrowing money and they started being optimistic, and they kept investing, not realising that the stock market would eventually crash. eventually it all came crashing down, banks closed and lost theirjobs and money. ifound wall closed and lost theirjobs and money. i found wall street confusing. i honestly still find the great depression a little confusing, because there were so many causes. i realise that wall street can be intimidating for people my age, younger or older. i wanted to find a way to simplify the language of finance, simplify the language of business. my
