The World Tonight

Manchester police have named the man they say attacked a synagogue in the city as 35-year-old Jihad Al-Shamie, a British citizen of Syrian descent. The car ramming and stabbing attack left two Jewish men dead. We hear some of the shock and fear in Europe's biggest Jewish neighbourhood and ask if counter-terrorism legislation is up to date. Also on the programme: A former chief of staff for Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May says the pledge by new leader Kemi Badenoch to scrap the 2008 Climate Change Act if she gets into office is "bad policy and bad politics". And 75 years since the first edition of Peanuts, with its lovable main character Charlie Brown, we speak to artist and fan Andy Holden.

A BBC reporter working for the Panorama programme has spent seven months undercover at a major police station in London to find out how much the Metropolitan police force has changed, since a highly critical report into its culture more than two years ago. Rory Bibb got a job at Charing Cross police station and filmed some of what he witnessed during his time there. His footage reveals racism, officers bragging about the use of force and misogyny. The Metropolitan Police Commissioner called the footage "horrific". As a result of the investigation eleven people - most of them serving officers - are under investigation for potential gross misconduct. Also on the programme: Chris Packham remembers fellow naturalist and world-renowned expert on chimpanzees Jane Goodall, who has died aged 91. And as Sir Keir Starmer says he'll change the way international law is interpreted in order to make it easier to deport illegal immigrants, we speak to the former President of Belgium's Constitutional Court who has become the go-to legal expert for European countries who believe the European Convention on Human Rights is hindering deportation efforts.

In his closing speech at the Labour Party Conference, Keir Starmer attacked Reform and Nigel Farage for pushing what he called the ‘politics of grievance’. The Prime Minister also said that Reform’s plans to end Indefinite Leave to Remain were racist. We ask Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper if this approach could alienate Reform supporters. Also on the programme: the Taliban cuts off the internet, isolating millions of Afghan women; and as The Rocky Horror Picture Show celebrates its 50th anniversary we speak to the son of its creator on its enduring appeal.

President Trump says Netanyahu will have his backing to "do what he has to do" if Hamas does not agree to the plan. Also on the programme: Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood says migrants will have to prove they are contributing to society to earn the right to remain in the UK. We hear from fellow cabinet minister Emma Reynolds. And we look back at the career of Sir Terry Farrell, the leading British architect behind London's MI6 building, who's died at the age of 87.

The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the United Nations General Assembly that the IDF offensive into Gaza City would continue. But shortly after his speech US President Trump said he was "close to a deal" on the Palestinian enclave. The deal is reported to include the potential for former Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair to head up a transition administration in the Gaza Strip. We speak to a US diplomat who worked with Sir Tony in the Middle East. Also on the programme: former director of the FBI James Comey says he's paying the price for standing up to Donald Trump as he is criminally indicted for perjury. We hear from a former federal prosecutor. And 200 years on from the first railway journey from Stockton to Darlington, we reflect on the music inspired by trains.

The prime minister is to announce a new national scheme of compulsory digital ID for all adults, to crack down on illegal working. We'll debate whether the proposals can stop small boat crossings. Also on the programme: Sensitive data about children, and their parents, has been stolen by hackers targetting a chain of nurseries. How alarmed should we be? France's former president Nicolas Sarkozy becomes its first head of state to be handed a prison sentence in 80 years. And it's 200 years since Louis Braille invented his tactile rreading system for people with sight loss. We hear about his remarkable work that helps blind musicians.

The government is holding off on announcing plans for high-speed rail across northern England due to concerns over long-term costs, the BBC has learned. The already-delayed announcement of the scheme was expected at next week's Labour Party conference, but that will not now happen. A Labour MP told us the news is "extremely disappointing" and that Britain risked being "left behind comparable nations". The President of Syria has become the first leader of the country to address the UN General Assembly since 1967. We hear from former CIA director General David Petraeus, who as a general in Iraq had Ahmed al-Sharaa detained for fighting with the insurgency, and now calls himself a "fan". And 30 years after the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice was released, we look back at its cultural legacy with the man who wrote it and woman who starred in it.

President Trump has suggested Ukraine is in a position to win back all of the territory it has lost since Moscow's invasion. Earlier, he told the UN General Assembly in New York that European countries were "going to hell" because of mass immigration. In a long - and uncompromising - speech that took aim at the institution where it was being delivered, Mr Trump also falsely claimed Sharia law could be introduced in London - we get reaction from an MP from the capital. Also on the programme: The mother of a British dual national killed while fighting for Ukraine on her fight to get his body back - and how she found out her son was dead. And as the cricket world mourns the legendary umpire Dickie Bird, the former England cricketer Allan Lamb remembers him.

Standing alongside Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. the US president said the drug, commonly sold under the brand name Tylenol in the US, was to blame for a rise in autism diagnoses. Also on the programme: Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says he will overhaul the rights of migrants to remain in the UK; and seven decades after the first British TV ad we explore the medium that formed some top Hollywood directors.

Nato aircraft have intercepted three Russian warplanes after they entered Estonia's airspace without permission. A top politician in Tallin gives us his reaction - and we ask how Nato should respond to this latest escalation. Also on the programme: A special report hearing from people who attended Saturday's rally organised by the far right activist Tommy Robinson. And why this year's autumn leaves are set to be more spectacular than ever.

In a joint press conference with Keir Starmer President Trump said he had been let down by Vladimir Putin and advised the Prime Minister to use the military to curb irregular migration across the English Channel. Also on the programme: we hear how on-air remarks about Charlie Kirk are costing some American broadcasters their jobs; and as Meta’s latest product launch is derailed by an embarrassing malfunction, we hear how tech events are becoming more risk averse.

At a lavish state banquet at Windsor Castle, day one of President Trump's second state visit ends with speeches celebrating the special relationship. The King also had pointed words on supporting Ukraine. We ask how good a friend the US is to the UK. Also on the programme: Still rock and rolling after all these years: the legendary DJ Pete Murray celebrates his 100th birthday.

US President Trump has landed in London for his second state visit to the UK. His arrival coincides with some good news for Keir Starmer as Microsoft announces a £22 billion investment in the UK. We speak to Jeremy Hunt, foreign secretary during Donald Trump’s last state visit, about preparing for the president’s public appearances. Also on the programme: as new data shows continued weakness in the labour market, we'll hear from young people trying to find work; and Robert Redford has died at 89, we hear from the biographer who became his friend.

The Conservative MP Danny Kruger has become the first sitting Conservative MP to defect to Reform UK. Lord Soames, Winston Churchill's grandson, tells us that his former colleague's claim that the Conservatives are "over" is "absolute nonsense". On the eve of President Trump's second state visit, we examine how free speech has become an area of tension between the UK and US governments. And we look at the other big winner at last night's Emmys - medical drama The Pitt, which has been lauded by both critics and doctors alike.

A suspect in the murder of US conservative activist Charlie Kirk has been arrested. Tyler Robinson is 22. He was confronted by his father, who recognised pictures of him released by the FBI and, with the help of a pastor, persuaded him to hand himself in. Sir Keir Starmer is facing growing criticism from within the Labour Party after he sacked Lord Mandelson as UK ambassador to the US, with one backbencher saying he "doesn't seem up to the job". And are we too reliant on potentially vulnerable global satellite positioning systems? An industry leader says near misses are more common than you may think.

Lord Mandelson has been sacked as Ambassador to Washington over his ties to the sex offender Jeffery Epstein, just days before President Trump's state visit to the UK. We ask what questions this raises about the Prime Minister's own judgement. Also on the programme: The killer of Charlie Kirk - the American right-wing political activist and ally of President Trump - is still at large. We speak to a British student who debated him at Oxford earlier this year. And as the sequel to This is Spinal Tap is released - we ask whether it'll strike a chord, 40 years on from the iconic original.

Charlie Kirk, the US conservative activist and major ally of President Donald Trump, has been shot dead while speaking at a university campus event in Utah. Police are still looking for the attacker. On social media, Trump wrote, "The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie". Pressure continues to mount on the government over the future of Lord Mandelson as UK ambassador to the US, as more revelations emerge about his past association with Jeffrey Epstein. We speak to one Labour MP who says Mandelson should be sacked. And a defence of the much-maligned author of the Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown - as his first novel in eight years is released.

There's been a dramatic escalation today in Israel's war against Hamas, as a strike on the Hamas leadership in Qatar drew widespread condemnation. Has it killed off any hope of a diplomatic solution to the war in Gaza? Also: France's President Macron has announced his new pick for Prime Minister - 24 hours after losing his last one. We're live in Paris. And we hear about the impact of a recording studio for young people in Nottingham - where Prince Harry announced a £1 million donation to Children in Need.

A no-confidence vote in France has led to the ousting of the country’s Prime Minister Francois Bayrou just nine months after he took office. It now means President Emmanuel Macron has lost his third prime minister in just over a year. We explore how opposition parties are reacting to the news and how the crisis might be resolved. Also: A BBC exclusive interview with the comedian Graham Linehan, after he was arrested at Heathrow airport for his social media posts. And the remarkable story of one man who survived six days with a broken leg on the edge of a Norwegian glacier.

As Sir Keir Starmer delivers a sweeping cabinet reshuffle at the end of perhaps the most bruising week of his premiership so far, we ask his authorised biographer whether he can still turn it around. Also: The Reform UK leader, Nigel Farage, has told his party's conference to be ready for a general election in 2027. And the Duchess of Kent, the oldest member of the royal family, has died at 92.
