Broadcast overview

An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.

Two men died after being hit by falling trees as Storm Bulow battered parts of the UK, with heavy rain and winds of up to 85mph causing flooding, disruption to flights, trains and ferries, and power cuts affecting 160,000 properties. The report showed flooded businesses in Dumbarton and Largs, a car crushed in Huddersfield, a boat washed ashore on the Clyde Coast, and ScotRail advising people not to travel because of fallen trees.

Housing Secretary Angela Rayner told the BBC that nothing was off the table for the UK's future relationship with the European Union, after the Prime Minister called for an honest discussion about bringing back freedom of movement. The Conservatives said they opposed the idea, Reform UK criticised it, and the Liberal Democrats called for closer ties. Ahead of the budget three days away, the political editor reported that the Chancellor was aiming for a lower-key budget with cost-of-living help, a possible tax on banks and a measure intended to keep the state pension above the income tax threshold without making it subject to income tax.

Aleksandar Vučić, Serbia's pro-Kremlin leader, conceded defeat in the general election to a student-led protest movement. In Brazil, polls closed in a knife-edge presidential election between Lula da Silva and Flavio Bolsonaro, after voting was extended by two hours, which caused confusion because some polling stations had already closed. It also emerged that a letter sent to the Metropolitan Police with allegations about the Duchess of Sussex's father was written by his ex-wife, Roslyn Loveless; Thomas Markle denies all the allegations. Israel was preparing to vote on Tuesday in an election described as one of the country's most critical, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu facing a challenge from centrist Gadi Eisenkot and others.
