labour going into | this election was using quite big words, seismic, they were saying if they won it would be a milestone on the road for labour back to power, you know, both in scotland, you would hope, and, indeed, across the uk. i think it was widely forecast that they were likely to win this seat, but no—one really predicted the size and scale of that win. this was a huge swing to labour of over 20%. this of course was a marginal seat to begin with. so they have been talking big, but they have been talking big, but the actual result is better than they anticipated and expected. they will hope to use this going into the party conference this weekend to give them a big boost. they will say this is a back at the table here in scotland and, you know, they will try to use it to build momentum going forward. but one word of caution, of course, though, they've only had one mp in scotland going into this by—election. there have now doubled that to two. so while this is a very, very good result for labour they still have a very big hill to climb. ~ . . , still have a very big hill to climb. . ., ., , ., still have a very big hill to climb. ~ ., ., ., climb. what has humza yousaf been saying — climb. what has humza yousaf been saying about _ climb. what has humza yousaf been saying about this?

"this body is badly burnt," says the rescuer. maybe you will recognise them. "no, it's not her," the woman replies. missile attacks are an almost daily occurrence here. but rarely are they this destructive. a well rehearsed routine for emergency crews which doesn't get any easier. translation: my brother, | sister-in-law and my mother were killed. alexander's family were at a wake of a local soldier. most of the victims had been sitting around a large table inside a cafe. a shared moment of grief cut short. translation: constantly, i we were pulling out someone. it was a nightmare. ukraine accuses russia of launching a short range ballistic missile, killing more than 50 in a village of 300. translation: we were in a town nearby and heard an explosion. i we were then told something happened in hroza and we came because my mother was here. ring tones fill the silence. from the phones of the dead. translation: russian military knew where they were striking. | it was not a blind attack. people had gathered there for a memorial meal. who could launch a missile at them? 0nly absolute evil. at a speech in sochi, vladimir putin didn't reference the attack but suggested ukraine would be dead within a week if its western help was to stop. ukraine is fighting to prevent that from happening. but it is hurting. james waterhouse, bbc news. 0ur international editor jeremy bowen is in kyiv and he sent this update. they have been pretty continual at times, taxpayer drains and missiles in different parts of ukraine by the russians, but this one, of course, as had terrible consequences. 0ne this one, of course, as had terrible consequences. one of the worst single attacks of the war. president zelensky, was in spain european leaders, said that it was absolute evil. he said that you can call the russians animals because it would be an insult to animals. now, the ukrainian say that this funeral was deliberately targeted. we don't have definitive proof of that, we just have their statement and what they are doing. it makes you wonder exactly what the people who fired that missile were trying to achieve. strategically it doesn't change the war, what it does do, of course, spread terror amongst civilians. they think it will also remind ukrainians, yet again, why it is that they are fighting. in the wider context of what's going on in the war, all this comes at a difficult time for the ukrainians, because cracks have appeared in western support for them. now, it's not going to dry up overnight, farfrom it. it's going to continue, but the whole principle of supporting ukraine has become important in elections in poland and in slovakia and, as well as that, in the united states, in washington, hard—line republicans have managed to delay the latest tranche of american support. that money will start flowing again, but i think for the ukrainians it is a big worry at a time when their somme offensive has not broken through the russian lines as they had hoped and as their allies had hoped. now, their allies had hoped. now, the ukrainians believe they don't have a choice. they have to go on fighting the russians. they have to try to win their territory back. but there western backers, without whom they could fight, do have a choice about what they do. we do have a choice about how mostly spent, the impact it has on their economies in terms of gearing up to war economy, because it's going to be a long war and they have to make now those difficult decisions about the way they go. concern is growing amongst european leaders in the wake of us political infighting that could hold aid to ukraine. funding for ukraine was left out of a spending bill that was passed last weekend to avert a government shutdown. now the us house of representatives is embroiled in a race to replace its speaker, kevin mccarthy, likely kicking the can further down the road as far as restoring aid to ukraine. on thursday, 50 european leaders, including president zelensky, gathered in spain to decide support for the war—torn country. james landale reports from the summit. the summit is supposed to be about european security. it is a new summit, this is only the third that has ever happened. it was begun after russell's invasion of ukraine. but despite all of that, actually, it was the political infighting and wrangling in washington that cast a shadow over this gathering, because there was real concern about the possibility of the united states reducing its support for ukraine. the eu foreign policy chief chiva, josep borrell, is that if it happened it would not be good news and he said europe did not have the capacity to make up the loss of that us support. so eu leaders were almost falling over themselves to come to the cameras to say, look, their support for ukraine will continue as long as it take, until the very end, those kinds of phrases. the head of the european commission, ursula von der leyen, that she was confident that us support would remain for the long—term. there was a sense of european leaders just trying to hug together to say we will stick together on this. as for president zelensky, the leader of ukraine, he was here with his team, as ever trying to drum up western support. whenever he was asked about the us position he said, well, what's the use of me worrying, worrying doesn't help, we just need to carry on working. he did say, in answer to question i asked, the situation with the us was dangerous and he said now is the time for europe to do more to support the united states. in other words, a rallying cry to europe to say it's your turn to europe to say it's your turn to step up. the problem is is that european economies at the moment have not been geared up for a wartime production of ammunition. not focused entirely on ukraine, there still concerned other issues, such as the global cost—of—living crisis and the climate emergency. so president zelensky and his team have now left granada, they heading back to ukraine. as ever, their call was for more air defences and they got some from the spanish today. they offered some more. i think they will probably return to ukraine with a degree of anxiety. support from europe, yes, but still that concern about just where europe, yes, but still that concern aboutjust where the united states is going on this. that was james landale. president biden has approved the construction of a section of border wall in southern texas in an effort to stop illegal immigration. around 32 kilometres will be built in starr county, which is on the border with mexico. there have been more than 245,000 crossings in the area this year. but the move is a major u—turn by president biden, who'd criticised his predecessor for his wall policy. donald trump posted that he will awaitjoe biden's apology. meghan owen has more details. now, here we can see the current barrier between the us and mexico. and here, if we zoom in, we can see biden's new proposal. it's a 20—mile stretch of wall in southern texas, and this completely contradicts what he said in 2020 when he was running for election. there will not be another foot of wall constructed on my administration, number one. well, us customs and border protection are defending the move, saying they're only using funds that were already allocated in 2019 to help with the construction of the border barrier. so what is behind joe biden's decision? well, he's been grappling a rise in illegal migrant crossings in the us. in fact, this year alone, we saw 245,000 crossings in the rio grande valley. that's the area where he wants to build this new section of the wall. mexico's president also said that in the last week alone, there were 10,000 border arrivals every day, and september is expected to break records. now, this is putting a huge strain on us cities. new york declared a state of emergency last year because of an influx of migrants. here are some workers building temporary accommodation to house those asylum—seekers. in fact, the city's mayor believes that they could be spending $12 billion over the next three years. so presidentjoe biden is facing difficult politics. now, here is leslie vinjamuri from chatham house. we've seen the recent politics in the house, where any number of issues are coming up and certainly border security has been a long—standing one. it's now because of that pressure to keep the government funded. building a border wall was one of trump's signature policies, but for biden's administration, well, this move is a real first. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. a group of 65 mps and peers is calling for a ban on the use of live facial recognition technology for public surveillance. the cameras, which were used by police at the king's coronation earlier this year, have been outlawed in the eu. it's understood the hs2 rail link to london euston won't go ahead unless the project secures enough private investment. although the prime minister announced that the leg from birmingham to manchester was being scrapped, he insisted the line would run to central london. if private funding is not secured, the line will only run from birmingham to old oak common. moderna says it's hoping to make its covid jab available privately in the uk. currently only those over 65 and other at—risk groups are eligible to get the vaccine on the nhs, but next year the vaccine's licence is likely to be updated so high street pharmacies and clinics can sell it like the flu jab. you're live with bbc news. scientists say last month was the world's hottest september on record, by a wide margin. the european union's climate service blames greenhouse gas emissions and the el nino weather event, which pushes warm water to the surface of the pacific ocean, trapping yet more heat in the atmosphere. last month was almost a whole degree warmer than the average september temperature between 1991 and 2020. the new data, from the copernicus climate change service, shows that this year is now on track to be the warmest on record. it comes in the wake of the hottestjuly and august ever recorded, that drove heatwaves and wildfires around the world. this is greece, where fires are still burning, and wildfires have flared up again in the past few days on the spanish island of tenerife, where officials are urging around 3,000 people to leave their homes. joining me from stanford in california is henna hundal, a climate and policy researcher at the stanford school of medicine, and a delegate to the un climate change conferences. hello, they are, and thank you forjoining us here on bbc news. i wonder, first off, is this likely to be the new norm, or will it change with la nina? what we are looking at is really the effects of human induced climate change kind of you mentioned wildfires leading to human displacement. we have extreme heat events that are increasing in craig —— in frequency, intensity and going on for longer durations of time, across the us, mexico, southern europe, the middle east, africa. we also have the increasing intensity of tropical cyclones that are especially affecting the pacific region, so this is no small matter, and i think it is high time, especially as we approach the upcoming un climate change conference, to really get serious. but climate change conference, to really get serious.—

what the copernicus report told us is that in september, the global average surface air temperature was 0.93 celsius than —— higher than the average across september across 1991 to 2020, so that's a huge range of time and it's really that much income that delta we need to focus on, so these are notjust small incremental increases that we would expect, that would not be owed to human made climate change. we really have to look at the effects of climate change here and it is hard to predict going forward what will affect the overall patterns, but certainly what we're dealing with right now, climate change is a key player in wayfinding. 50 climate change is a key player in wayfinding— in wayfinding. so how will it affect the — in wayfinding. so how will it affect the way _ in wayfinding.

only infrastructure, not only economies, loss of dollars from agricultural production, and not only the health of populations, but really this overall picture, where there are so much uncertainty about what we can expect, and so we need not only preplanning around resilient infrastructure and better warning systems to support populations, who are often feeling kind of lost in the mix when

was a rather mixed picture across the uk on thursday, with a very slow—moving weather front giving outbreaks of rain, particularly towards the north and the west, such as here in argyll and bute, but further south, a lot more sunshine around, albeit quite hazy at times. now, as we head through the next few days, there is more rain to come in the forecast. it's mostly for scotland, particularly western areas of scotland, but further south, largely dry, and it will also be turning warmer. now for the rest of the night, still outbreaks of rain across the central swathe of the country. to the north and the south of that front, lots of clear skies, and its very mild start to the day tomorrow across the board, but particularly across scotland, where temperatures dipped a little bit below freezing last night. a lot milder into friday morning, and on friday, you can see from the pressure chart, high pressure builds into the south, so it will be dry here, and our weatherfront pushes ever so slowly northward. so it's a wet start to the day for northwest england, for northern ireland, but it should dry out here a bit later on, the rain pushing into the central belt. it is a sunny start to the day across aberdeenshire, windy for caithness and sutherland, also blustery for the northern isles. lots of sunshine towards the south of the front. it will be quite hazy, at times, again, but temperatures starting to rise on friday, up to 22 or 23 degrees celsius in the south of england, the high teens, potentially, for aberdeenshire. and then on friday night into saturday, that rain still driving into western scotland, very heavy over the western hills, and it will be across the whole of scotland, i think, as we head through into saturday morning. further south, a lot of sunshine throughout the day on sunday. temperatures in northern ireland could get as high as 19 or 20 degrees. we're looking at the low 205 for northern england, also for much of wales, maybe 25 or 26 celsius in the southeast of england and east anglia. and it's more or less the same on sunday. temperatures a little bit lower and our weather front gradually pushes further northwards across scotland, too, where, of course, it's going to be cooler. big contrast in temperatures here. again, we're looking at the low 205 for much of england and wales, a bit more cloud too, across northern ireland. these are the daytime averages for this point in october. so you can see we're above average, across the board, 12 degrees in the north, 16 degrees celsius in the south. so even scotland is mild for this point in october. the unseasonable heat continues across england and wales, as we head into the start of next week. live from london, this is bbc news. trouble at britain's banking upstart. shares of
