correspondent david willis. the house speaker nancy pelosi had promised a vote on this this week, but it's starting to look as though she may not have the votes she needs to get it over the finishing line, to get it passed in the lower chamber. so that means that it could be put off, this vote, for some time, perhaps for weeks, which would be potentially embarrassing to mr biden, particularly if he can't get this legislation approved in the end, because it's very much, as i say, a part of the promise that democrats made. and they'll be looking to show that they've upheld those promises, of course, going into the midterm elections next year. indeed, and there's also another pressing deadline that they're facing, isn't there, the borrowing limit — which they're due to hit within weeks, as i understand it? why can't the two parties come to some sort of agreement on this? in a word, politics. republicans in the senate are digging in on this one. and there arejust 18 days to go, karishma, before this country basically defaults on its debt. and that is something the treasury secretary, janet yellen, has said would be catastrophic. it would, of course, affect not just the financial markets here but potentially those around the world. and this is something that, on both sides, they agree the importance of the legislation, importance of a vote on this, but they just can't agree on the details at the moment. republicans saying basically that this shows that democrats have plans that are fiscally irresponsible, and that's why they're digging in their heels at this time. david willis there. much more detail on this story on our website, including a very detailed look at what happens next. just log on to bbc.com/news. or download the bbc news app. let's take a look at some of the stories in the headlines in the uk. the furlough scheme, under which more than 11 million people in the uk were paid a percentage of their wages the un secretary general said time is running out to stop the coup in myanmarto time is running out to stop the coup in myanmar to spiral into catastrophe. he called on the international community to take immediate action. translation: the former french president has been sentenced to a year in prison for illegally funding his 2012 campaign. the report said he can serve under house arrest. he said he will appeal the verdict. i want to bring you an update on a story that has horrified people in the uk and around the world. the abduction, rape and murder of a young woman, sarah everard. he faked an arrest to snatch of the street in london last march during covert lockdown and yesterday he was confronted and caught by her family. on thursday he was sentenced and was told he will never be released from prison. sarah everard was, thejudge said, simply walking home. for herfamily, nothing can make things better, nothing can bring sarah back, they said, but the rapist, murderer, policeman will never be released — and herfamily said that brings some relief. this moment, using his position of trust and privilege as a police officer to falsely arrest the 33—year—old, his arm out holding his warrant card, his use of handcuffs, persuaded thejudge he should die in prison. the misuse of a police role to murder a lone victim needed the greatest punishment. in the dock, couzens, as he had done throughout, kept his head down. he started shaking as thejudge sentenced him, with sarah's family looking on. lord justice fulford told wayne couzens, "you kidnapped, raped and murdered sarah everard, having long planned a violent sexual assault. you have eroded the confidence the public is entitled to have in its police forces. you have considerately added to the insecurity felt by people, perhaps particularly women. i have seen no evidence of genuine contrition." thejudge condemned his lies. his behaviour, calmly buying snacks after raping and murdering sarah and coolly letting his children play in the woods where he'd dumped her remains. should the police not have detected a murderer in their ranks? they admit they missed a check when vetting him that could have linked him to one of three indecent exposure allegations. how can women regain trust in the police now? this man has brought shame on the met. speaking frankly, as an organisation, we have been rocked. i absolutely know that there are those who feel their trust in us is shaken. there are no words that can fully express the fury and overwhelming sadness that we all feel about what happened to sarah. i am so sorry. no response to questions about whether she should resign. sarah everard lived her last hours in terror, but the final thoughts of herfamily are of a time before. in a statement, they said... their daughter never wanted to start a national debate about violence against women. she just wanted to get home safely. lucy manning, bbc news. let's update you on the story we have been following. north korea has carried out a missile test. official state media says the test took place on the 30th of september. that would be in the last 2a hours. and the test firing was a success. it's worth pointing out that the international bans on north korean missile development concern long range ballistic missiles and a surface to air missile would not be in breach. but it's the fourth missile system to be tested by pyongyang injust a month, indicating that kim jong—un remains committed to military development. in other headlines, mexico's government sent 70 haitian migrants back to haiti yesterday in what it described as a "voluntary return" flight. this came just days after the united states cleared thousands of haitians from a camp that they'd been staying in near the us—mexican border. officials from the biden administration are in haiti this week, meeting with local government leaders about both the migrant crisis and the ongoing political instability within haiti. i got the latest from our central america correspondent will grant, who is in haiti. their intentions were to make it to the united states. indeed, they did that. they were under that bridge at the makeshift camp in texas. they thought and very much hoped that they would now be processing their asylum applications in the united states, living with families in the united states and taking steps to normalise their asylum positions and their migration papers in the us. of course, these were the ones who didn't get that result, who have been brought back to haiti and are essentially notjust back where they started but worse off. all of their savings have been spent on that trip. many of them were living in south america and have endured an extremely gruelling trip to make it to the us, so to find themselves back with their children, many of whom were born in south america, now back in haiti, as you say, a very, very difficult time in this country's history. economically, environmentally, politically, this is an extremely difficult moment for haiti, and so it's a tough time for the families to find themselves back here. yes, and there's a biden team on the ground, as we understand it. what are they trying to achieve? let's just think about, politically, what's happened in recent months. the president was assassinated earlier this year. the special envoy to haiti resigned in disgust at the policy of deportation, so there's a lot for high—level envoys from the biden administration to discuss with the prime minister. the electoral body has been wound up. and the elections were only weeks away. so that really underlines that this is a political crisis here as well as an economic one. and i suppose the biden administration are looking for ways to strengthen the institutions in haiti, so that there isn't such a migratory pressure, so that the people who are coming back maybe start to have at some point reasons to stay instead of simply trying to leave again and head back to south america, and perhaps from there to the us once again. will grant there for us in port—au—prince. if you want to get in touch with me, i'm on twitter, @bbckarishma. i'm looking forward to hearing from you. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: we meet the rising star of classical music. in all russia's turmoil, it has never quite come to this. president yeltsin said the day would decide the nation's destiny. the nightmare that so many people have feared for so long is playing out its final act here. russians are killing russians in front of a grandstand audience. it was his humility which produced affection from catholics throughout the world, but his departure is a tragedy for the catholic church. this man, israel's right—winger ariel sharon, visited _ the religious compound and that started the trouble. _ he wants israel alone to have sovereignty over the holy- sites, an idea that's- unthinkable to palestinians. after 45 years of division, germany is one. in berlin, a million germans celebrate the rebirth of europe's biggest and richest nation. this is newsday on the bbc. i'm karishma vaswani in singapore. our headlines: the us congress votes to avoid a government shutdown, but more tough negotiations lie ahead for president biden. and tough questions for british police, as the officer who raped and murdered sarah everard the foreign interference bill is expected to be deliberated next week and, if passed, which it is widely expected to will give authorities new powers to counter foreign give authorities new powers to counterforeign influence give authorities new powers to counter foreign influence but critics say the wording of the new law is too broad and more transparency is needed on how it will work. for more on this i'm joined by a political scientist here in singapore. great to have you on the programme. in the first instance, why do singapore not feel that it needs that it needs a foreign interference law and how would it work? so needs a foreign interference law and how would it work? 50 i law and how would it work? so i think there _ law and how would it work? so i think there is _ law and how would it work? sr i think there is concern that there could be foreign meddling like we have seen in taiwan, arguably like we've seen in the united states and also in the uk. so there is some concern there was a lot of online misinformation and disinformation and there is also the question of what do we do with political figures, people in position of authority who may potentially be compromised. so those threats in those risks are real and so there is some effort to deal with that, however, a lot of the criticism that you hear is that the very broad remit that the law provides for the minister in charge, for the authority, is lacking in transparency and limited in oversight particularly because a court process that comes after the sudden an investigation and directives given has been taken away. it has been put in the hands of a tribunal. in has been put in the hands of a tribunal. , ., ., tribunal. in terms of what kinds of _ tribunal. in terms of what kinds of things _ tribunal. in terms of what kinds

so that is a good question _ they come under this? so that is a good question because, . they come under this? so that is a good question because, if| is a good question because, if we look at the

about, they claim, the hong kong government claims that it is some sort of foreign interference that led to the protest that we saw in hong kong. that is the case of thinkers up for debate and is in singapore i think we have a very different context from hong kong. in terms of the pandemic, what the concern is, right, that disinformation with vaccines have not really been dealt with very well.- vaccines have not really been dealt with very well. thank you very much _ dealt with very well. thank you very much for— dealt with very well. thank you very much forjoining _ dealt with very well. thank you very much forjoining us - dealt with very well. thank you very much forjoining us on - very much forjoining us on newsday with that. we have a reply from the singapore government following the criticism of the proposed new law saying that the internet and social media have increased the potential for and severity of this thread because of the ease and impunity with which foreign actors can carry out such operation foot that the statement is that singapore is particularly vulnerable to foreign interference which impinges upon political sovereignty and national security. the government says it cannot take a hands off approach. with the un climate summit in glasgow only a month away, many nations are ramping up their commitments to try and slow the rate of global warming. but australia, where carbon emissions per person are among the highest in the world, has been called out for not doing enough. its emissions reduction pledge for 2030 is only 26—28%, well below what most other rich economies have promised. and it still hasn't agreed to net—zero emissions by 2050. this week, prime minister scott morrison said he may not attend the cop26 summit at all. our correspondent shaimaa khalil has been to the hunter valley, one of australia's mining heartlands, to find out more. the devastating bushfires less than two years ago were the starkest warning yet for australians. experiencing first—hand the consequences of a warming planet. and the science is clear. cutting carbon emissions is the best hope of slowing the pace of the rising temperatures causing these extreme weather events. but australia's commitments fall well behind other rich developed countries. injuly, the un ranked it last out of 170 member nations for its response to climate change. our goal is to reach net—zero emissions as soon as possible, and preferably by 2050. australia is the second—biggest coal exporter in the world, and in the hunter valley, it's the bedrock of the economy. despite the global urgency, climate change remains a divisive issue here in australia. it draws in the powerful fossil fuel industry and regional voters, like the ones in this mining community, where an anti—coal message doesn't play well. without the coal mine industry, i wouldn't have a job. it's been in my family- for as long as i can remember. dad has always gotten up early, gone to work in his high—vis. . probably would be like a stabbing in the back. at the quarry mining, they've been manufacturing coal mine drilling equipment for nearly a0 years. we hear all the noise about going away from coal, and we try to be ready to pivot, but we don't have a road map for that. we just don't know what is next, so we don't know how to do that, and it's incredibly difficult to turn your mind to that when you're in such a busy industry as we are now. former prime minister malcolm turnbull lost hisjob because of clashes over climate policy within his own party, and its coalition partner, which is powerful in mining regions. if right—wing politics has framed climate and the responses - to climate as an identity or ideological issue. - it's a combination of that plus the fossil fuel lobby| and right—wing media. it hasjust been a toxic. political battle for years, for well over a decade. with plenty of sun and wind, renewables are growing fast in australia. this zinc refinery in north queensland is one of the country's biggest users of electricity. with more than a million solar panels, it's now generating about a quarter of its power from the sun. and it aims to be using 100% renewable energy as early as 2025. it is the right thing to do, but it is also the smart thing to do. it aligns us more closely with our customers, who are increasingly on an urgent mandate to decarbonise and drastically reduce their emissions, directly in their operations and indirectly across the supply chain. even though it's on the front—line of this environmental emergency, australia is out of step with its allies when it comes to climate action. stuck in a balancing act between its domestic politics and its international reputation. shaimaa khalil, bbc news, the hunter valley. he's being hailed as the rising star of the classical music world. 24—year—old randall goosby is a violinist who's determined to make classical music more inclusive. born to african—american and korean parents, his focus is on works that reflect black culture. earlier this month, he performed at the 20th anniversary of 9/11 at ground zero. now he's touring britain. mark savage has been to meet him. you violin prodigy randall goosby, in the welsh capital for the first show of his uk tour. his playing has been called profound, stylish, illuminating — not bad for someone who chose his instrument at random. i chose violin having not really seen or heard one before, to my memory. and did you find that you just understood the instrument instantly? i probably felt that way when i was a kid. of course, everyone learning to start the violin probably sounds a bit like a sick cat or something. at 13, he was the youngest ever winner of the prestigious sphinx prize, then studied under the renowned violinist itzhak perlman. but the music he's playing now champions black and african—american composers, a decision prompted by last yea r�*s black lives matter protests. i was feeling very, very sort of stuck, i was feeling useless and hopeless in the fight against systemic racism and prejudice and bias and all of these things. i didn't want to go out and march and protest. i just didn't feel like that was fulfilling. i needed something to validate what i was doing, you know? there was certainly the question of, "ok, whatam i doing, making a living playing works of, you know, dead european guys who haven't been around for a couple hundred years, who didn't know anything about my existence and didn't know anything about the existence of those who came before me?" this music answered that question. at the recent 9/11 memorial concert, he played one of those pieces — adoration by florence price. florence price, you know, had to pick up and move herfamily from her hometown of arkansas because of the segregation in the southern united states. to know that she was actually able to channel feelings of adoration, love and respect into her music is really profound. i hope that that was able to make it through to some of those who were mourning there on that day. randall's next goal is to help children in low—income communities discover these works. it's not any sort of inherent disinterest or distaste in classical music that keeps these communities from being involved. it's just the lack of access. an admirable ambition for a rising star. mark savage, bbc news, cardiff. what an inspiration there, certainly someone to watch out for. that's all that we have time for. thanks for watching. stay with bbc news. good morning. new month, but unfortunately not a new weather story. it looks likely that the beginning of october will be quite an autumnal, unsettled picture, with some rain at times. there will be some brighter interludes as well, but the winds certainly a feature, with plenty of leaves coming down off the trees over the next few days. now, as you can see, friday's weather will continue to see this frontal system moving in over the next few hours. it means first thing on friday morning, it still has yet to clear away from the south east. it will do so, and into the afternoon, we should see some sunshine coming through. so, a better second half to the day. there'll be plenty of frequent showers accompanied by a blustery wind on exposed west—facing coasts of scotland, northern ireland and north west england. temperatures ranging from 11—18 celsius. now, as we move out of friday into saturday, low pressure is anchoring itself up into the far north of scotland, and we've got another developing low pushing into the far south west. this is going to bring a spell of, yet again, wet and windy weather. it'll move in from the south west, gradually pushing its way steadily northwards. so, if you start the day dry, it's highly unlikely that you will finish the day dry because that rain is going to continue to push its way steadily north and east. maybe the far north east of scotland will see some brightness for much of the day. the winds picking up as well, gusts in excess of 45—50 mph on exposed coasts. that's going to make it feel disappointingly cool in the cloud, the wind and the rain. moving out of saturday into sunday, that frontal system still to clear away, and low pressure looks likely to park itself into the far north of scotland. the southern flank of the low, we could see the strongest winds, 50—60 mph gusts not out of the question. and that's where potentially the heaviest of the rain is likely to lie for the second half of the weekend. bright and breezy elsewhere, with a scattering of sharp showers on and off throughout the day. those temperatures, well, still on the disappointing side, and gales certainly are going to be more of a significant feature close to the area of low pressure. top temperatures on sunday once again between 12—16 celsius. monday into tuesday looks likely to stay with that showery theme, with some blustery winds as well from time to time. it's autumn good and proper. whatever you do, take care. what a way to celebrate international podcasting day, because it is. is it? you may not have known that. i didn't know until about two minutes ago. but i love the medium. every day is international podcasting for you. you have moved. i'm in the main newscast studio, doing the podcasting equivalent on such an auspicious day of turning
