Ukraine has mounted a missile strike on the headquarters of Russia's Black Sea navy in Crimea. A source at the Ukrainian Air Force has told the BBC it used a type of cruise missile supplied by Britain and France. Russia illegally annexed the southern Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea in 2014. So what will Russia's response be to the attack? Also in the programme: As ethnic Armenian fighters in Nagorno Karabakh hand over their weapons, what assurances can Azerbaijan give them as well as civilians about how life will be under its rule? And Brazil's Supreme Court is posed to vote on whether to legalise abortion, but conservatives are vocal in their opposition. (Photo shows smoke rising from Russia's Black Sea navy HQ in Crimea.

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch says he is stepping down as chairman of Fox and News Corp, with his son Lachlan to head both companies. In a memo to employees, Murdoch said "the time is right" for him to take on "different roles". Murdoch said he will transition to the role of Chairman Emeritus of both firms in mid-November. Murdoch, 92, launched Fox News in 1996. It is now the most watched TV news channel in the US. We'll discuss his legacy and the succession, and look back at his love affair with news - particularly newspapers. Also in the programme: How Ukrainian soldiers who have lost limbs in the war are facing life as amputees; and we'll hear about life inside the notorious Venezuelan jail, run by its inmates complete with swimming pool and a zoo, and which has now been taken back by the military.

Also in the programme: The Polish decision to pause arms supplies to its ally, Ukraine; and we look at TikTok 'frenzies' and the behaviour they inspire.

Nearly a week after a torrent of water ploughed through the centre of the the Libyan city of Derna, officials from the Eastern Libyan government felt for themselves the wave of public anger... when they visited Derna today. More than 11,000 people are known to have died in the catastrophic flooding that followed the collapse of two dams last weekend. Thousands more are still missing in the port city where bodies are still being washed back from the sea. In a country divided between rival governments - we hear a call for unity in Tripoli. Also in the programme: On an Italian island, residents say they can't cope with the surging number of migrants; and we'll savour a last curry at London's first refuge for Indian food fans.

A BBC team in Derna, in eastern Libya, says international aid agencies still have to arrive in force to help the victims of last weekend's deadly floods. Our correspondent there, Anna Foster, says Libyan rescue workers are bringing clean water from other parts of the country to the destroyed city. Earlier, local authorities denied reports that many of those killed by the floods had been ordered not to evacuate but to shelter in their homes. Also in the programme: we discuss what might have happened to China's Defence Minister, Li Shangfu, who has not been seen in public for more than two weeks, which is unusual for such a high profile figure; and protests in the remote Arctic islands of Svalbard, as residents express their concern over the settlement warming at nearly twice the rate of other places in the Arctic.
