Ukraine and Russia hit by fake emergency alerts

Ukraine reported late on Sunday that an air alert app had been compromised - with citizens receiving several false notifications about chemical and radiological threats. A few hours later, the authorities in Russia said a similar app had been hacked after fake messages appeared about nuclear warheads being launched towards the country. The apparent cyberattack came on the same day the humanitarian ceasefire in the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky officially ended. Also: Monday is the last day of campaigning before the US midterm elections - we speak to voters in a key state. In Florida, investigators are on the scene of a plane crash that killed nine people and left a burning crater in a residential area. The BBC secures rare access to people inside Iran whose lives have been changed after a year of widespread protests, a brutal crackdown by the authorities and the war with the US and Israel. Dozens of supermarkets across Europe - particularly in Belgium and Luxembourg - have been hit by a suspected cyberattack affecting refrigerators and freezers. Sudan has complained to the UN against Ethiopia over drone attacks which it says were launched from Ethiopian territory... and⁠ police in Finland have launched a criminal investigation into possible breaches ⁠of the country’s environmental ⁠laws at the site of a planned Google data centre.

Ukraine accuses Russia of hitting school used as aid centre

President Zelensky described as utterly horrific a Russian attack in the southern Ukrainian region of Zaporizhzhia that killed at least 26 people. He said the first air strike was on a school building which was being used as an aid distribution centre. It was followed by nine more bombs targeting a shelter where people were taking cover. Among those killed in the second attack were police and rescue workers who had gone to help. Also: final campaigning has been taking place in the United States on the eve of the midterm elections, which President Trump has described as the most important "in our lifetime". We hear from a man in the Netherlands whose parents opted for duo-euthanasia, where a person receives a lethal injection at the same time as a loved one.

US midterms: Trump makes final pitch to voters

Ahead of Tuesday’s midterms, US President Donald Trump has wrapped up his campaigning, saying he’s ‘kept every single promise’ he made when elected in 2024. It looks highly likely, however, that Democrats will win the House of Representatives and may even claim the Senate. A polling expert tells us how confident Democrats should feel that they can reclaim total control of Congress. Also in the programme: Shop freezers across various European countries are hit by a cyber-attack; and Horst Fascher, a key figure in the Beatles’ earlier years spent in Germany, dies aged 90.
