climate activists are making their voices heard and italy, calling out politicians for not doing enough to tackle climate change. and the rising young star in the world of classical music it was determined to make his field more inclusive. welcome to bbc news. president joe biden has signed into law a short—term spending bill after it successfully passed congress earlier. the bill is aimed at avoiding a government shutdown are keeping the lights on but only for another two months. he was the house speaker, nancy pelosi, after it passed the house. pelosi/sot/2200/30/9 and with this continuing resolution, we not only keep government open, keep checks flowing to our veterans and social security recipients and the rest, but it's about, again, whether it's science at the national institutes of health, the education of our children, the protection of our environment, it's just a remarkable thing to think of all good things that we can do working together for the people. a shutdown avoided with just hours to spare but president joe biden�*s problems have not gone away. fellow democrats are struggling to agree on a plan to vote on his trillion dollar infrastructure proposal for bridges, roads, broadband and electric vehicles. progressive members are refusing to vote into a much bigger bill which would inject three and half trillion dollars into americaed post—pandemic economy and kick start the bass climate change reforms passes the senate. hugo is a reporter for the reforms passes the senate. hugo is a reporterfor the us news paper and hejoined me to explain. the stopgap funding measure but republicans refused to back it and so they passed what is known as a continuing resolution that keeps the government funded through, she said, to early december. it also gives funding to disaster relief from hurricanes and wildfires as well as also for the afghan refugee resettlement programme. i'm glad you mentioned the debt ceiling because that is the second dish i wanted to come on too. a much more imminent deadline now. 0ctober more imminent deadline now. october 18 there is the date by which congress has to approve, effectively, the ability to pay the interest due on debts that have already been accrued by the government. if they don't do that, does this mean the us government would default on its debts? . , ., , , debts? that is absolutely ri . ht. debts? that is absolutely right. october _ debts? that is absolutely right. october 18 - debts? that is absolutely right. october 18 there i debts? that is absolutely right. october 18 there is j debts? that is absolutely - right. october 18 there is the crunch date by which the us has to lift or in this case suspend the debt ceiling. the treasury secretary has warned repeatedly over the last couple of weeks and months that congress must take action on the debt ceiling otherwise the us will default on $28 trillion of debt and the consequences of that would be really calamitous. it will involve potentially double—digit unemployment in the us, truly and is wiped from household income. interest rates would soar. american business loan rates would increase and so it is an all round mega issue that congress really has to deal with and it has been plagued by intransigence from both republicans and democrats who are at an impasse at the moment because neither side can agree how to tackle it. there is democrats and the one side to say, well, republicans should join them and give them votes to raise the debt ceiling because that is what they did during the trump administration and republican should return the favour but republicans say, no, i should the favour but republicans say, no, ishould be the favour but republicans say, no, i should be done by a party line vote because republicans at the party of fiscal responsibility and they don't want to be the ones raising the debt limit. fin want to be the ones raising the debt limit-— debt limit. on that issue the democrats _ debt limit. on that issue the democrats can _ debt limit. on that issue the democrats can point - debt limit. on that issue the democrats can point to - debt limit. on that issue the democrats can point to the i democrats can point to the republicans and say, hang on, you are creating an obstacle if you are creating an obstacle if you are creating an obstacle if you are not been supportive but if we move on the third matter, the infrastructure bill, that is being held up by infighting within the democrats, it seems. . you have got warring factions on both side — . you have got warring factions on both side of— . you have got warring factions on both side of the _ . you have got warring factions on both side of the house - . you have got warring factions on both side of the house and| on both side of the house and senate but it is all intraparty and has been causing biden real problems. he came into office and on the campaign trail you are saying he wanted to have transformative change of the country and this is why show they had biden and this is why show that democrats and this was in 2020. we campaigned on a promise of energy and expanding health care to more americans and investing in infrastructure and investing in infrastructure and the matter is, this is now being tied up because progressives in the house and moderate democrats in the house and senate cannot agree on the way forward. there are two bills at the moment. the bipartisan infrastructure bill which is around 0.5 trillion in the sprawling social spending package. just run 200 yards behind me in a conference in the white house and senate majority leader are trying to agree on a path forward but none seems forthcoming at this point in the vote on one of the bills was due today. the british police _ bills was due today. the british police officer - bills was due today. the british police officer who murdered sarah everard will die injail after a judge murdered sarah everard will die in jail after a judge today sentenced him to life in prison. wayne couzens pretended to arrest her in london in march during a covert lockdown. he handcuffed her, kidnapped her and then raped and killed her. herfamily were in court watching as he was sentenced. 0ur watching as he was sentenced. our special correspondent lucy manning reports. 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 his children ranks mr check when one exposure allegations trust now 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. a 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. facebook�*s global head of safety has defended the social media giant against accusations that instagram can negatively impact the mental health of young people. she gave her testimony to the us senate committee about child protection. the hearing

teenage girls. leading in some cases to eating disorders and suicidal thoughts. as you say, that move to create this facebook kids platform has now been put on hold and the company is saying that it will consult closely with policymakers in regard to getting that up and running. in terms of, you know, what the dot—mac the research showed, they had been saying, is a company, that actually some of the respondents claim that it helped them on certain issues. they say any more about that? that is right. that was from a senior facebook executive who was giving evidence to the senate subcommittee today and she said that this could actually, in some cases, help to give to young people more control over their lives and to actually be helpful to them. there was not met with much sympathy, i might add, by senators who formed this committee. 0ne described the facebook research as a bombshell and accuse the company of a cover—up. it was likened as well, this research, to the cover—up conducted by the tobacco industry over the harmful effects of cigarettes. several decades ago. there have been calls as well by this committee for facebook to release the full research on the links between instagram and youth suicide and this is not an issue that is going away anytime soon. because next week the same committee is due to hearfrom a facebook hear from a facebook whistle—blower who

regain control of a high security prison. at least 116 inmates have been killed in a riot which began on tuesday. after the massacre, the storming. these are images of a desperate attempt by authorities to get a handle in a situation that spiralled out of control. this footage released by the police shows the extent of the violence. more than 100 people dead, prisoners beheaded, shot and blown up. dozens more injured. a dispute broke out earlier this week in and inmates crawled through a hole to another wing and attacked rival gang members. they are believed to be linked to powerful cartels vying for territory. ecuador has become a battle ground that the lucrative cocaine trade as the drug is smuggled from neighbouring countries such as peru and colombia on its way to europe in the us. as the police reigned in the chaos inside, family members outside gathered in the hope of hearing news about their loved ones. translation: when we go to the visit they search everything - they even make us undress. i don't know how all the weapons get in. everyone inside is armed. this was the most at the prison riot in ecuador�*s history but the third one so far this year. the president announced a state of emergency in the prison system, to try and bring an end to the chaos. translation: this will allow us to coordinate through the use of our security forces and with absolute firmness. and to gain back control of the penitentiary. and to avoid such events taking place in other prison complexes in ecuador. but in a country where the prisons are overcrowded and underfunded, little hope that things will improve as the jail is controlled by criminal gangs the state has lost control of the system. here is our science correspondent and her report contains flashing images. leaders came here to talk. but the criticism ringing in their ears is that when it comes to climate change, we've had far too much talk and nowhere near enough action. throughout this week's event, young climate activists — spearheaded by greta thunberg — moved from street protests to sharing the same room and the same stage with world leaders. there is no planet b, there is no planet blah. blah, blah, blah! today, they handed their proposals to those leaders, including a request to phase out fossil fuels entirely by 2030. in a couple of years, if this has to continue, if this chaotic approach to climate action has to continue, then we will lose our homes, we will lose our countries, we will lose our entire islands. the decisions that you make today have a lasting impactl on our lives for tomorrow, | so we need to see that our suggestions are being taken into consideration. - we do not wantjust climate action, we want climate justice action. what does climate justice mean to you? what's your message on that to leaders as they take over today? this means that we do notjust have privileged people explaining what they think about the climate crisis, but we're bringing marginalised voices. thank you, thank you very much... as politicians took over the stage today, borisjohnson couldn't resist an opportunity to repeat his catchy climate change slogan. it's coal, cars, cash and trees. coal, cars, cash and trees. but his message about the approaching un climate conference in glasgow is much more ambitious than we've heard before. we can make cop26 in november, which mario and i are working on, we can make it the beginning of the end, the beginning of the end of climate change. from the desperation of famine in madagascar, to fine wine producers here in italy trying to protect their livelihoods, the impacts of climate change are being felt everywhere. and as young delegates from all over the world head home, they hope their sense of urgency will be acted on. we're at a crossroads in history where we have to make a choice, not us but also the leaders. they have to make a choice of either standing and silently watching the future generations and their futures burn, or taking decisions right now for the securing of our collective future. securing that future will mean turning those words into action. victoria gill, bbc news, milan. police in germany have arrested a 96—year—old woman who failed to appear in court to face charges of complicity in mass murder at a nazi concentration camp during the second world war. irmgard furchner left a care home near hamburg in a taxi hours before she was due to be taken to court. jenny hill reports. it's taken nearly 80 years to get to this moment, but this morning the elderly woman accused of complicity in mass murder didn't turn up for her trial. irmgard furchner, seen here as a young woman, had called a cab from her care home and disappeared before she was later arrested. it's a lifetime since she worked as a secretary at stutthof concentration camp. her lawyers argue she didn't know what really happened there. today, visitors are left to imagine the cruelty, the inhumanity, of the place. 65,000 people were murdered here — hanged, gassed, shot or simply left to succumb to the brutal conditions. i am convinced that she knew everything. because every order from the chief commander of the concentration camp went over her desk or she wrote it. justice has caught up with a number of low—ranking nazis in recent years. 0scar groening, a guard at auschwitz, was convicted six years ago after a previous court allowed prosecutors to charge people like him and like former guard reinhold hanning. neither man ordered or committed mass murder, but by simply being part of the nazi machine, they were judged complicit. translation: it's very simple. if someone consciously contributes to systematic mass killings, that's legally relevant, regardless of whether it happened yesterday or a long time ago. but germany's nazi—hunters are running out of time. state prosecutors are currently working on eight other cases before age and infirmity bring to a close this, the darkest chapter of german history. germany is still, in many ways, haunted by the horrors perpetrated in its name. these trials, a final opportunity to hear from the people who were there. it's aboutjustice, of course. it's also about delivering a public record and a warning. jenny hill, bbc news, berlin. 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. 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, "0k, 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. here are the headlines. the us senate has voted to avoid a government shutdown that would have affected hundreds of thousands of federal workers. the vote on spending came after a deal between the republicans and democrats with just hours left to avoid the crisis. the authorities in ecuador say they have regained control of a high security prison following a major operation involving 900 police officers and army soldiers. at least 118 inmates have been killed in a riot between rival gangs which began on tuesday. a london policeman who raped and murdered a woman he falsely arrested on the street has been sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison. wayne couzens handcuffed sarah everard in march on the pretext she had broken coronavirus lockdown rules. i can't carry on like this. i just cannot carry on, my life just isn't worth living, quite frankly. across the uk, millions of people are waiting for hospital treatment as health services struggle to clear the growing backlog caused by the pandemic. all the time, one after another, the phone never stops in the morning. paul speaking, how can i help you? the delays are having a profound impact on people. it's basically ruined - my life at the moment. the government has committed billions to beating the backlog. but is it enough? we can expect the waiting list to continue to grow
