Deepfake technology is being used to make pornography of women without their consent.

A BBC documentary is looking at how deepfake technology is being used to make pornography of women without their consent. Harmless images of their faces are edited into videos and shared without knowledge. We hear from someone who was a victim of deepfake porn and the team who led the investigation.

Ukraine's army has said that it is worried about the "growing threat" of a new Russian offensive from Belarus. Meanwhile, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of preparing to blow up a dam at a hydroelectric plant in southern Ukraine, which would lead to a "large-scale disaster". We'll get the latest lines from Ukraine with our correspondent.

We'll get updates as the leader of the far- right Brothers of Italy party, Giorgia Meloni, has been invited by the country's president to form a government, after winning elections last month.

European leaders are meeting in Brussels to discuss the energy crisis the continent faces following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. People in Germany tell us about their concerns for keeping warm during the winter months.

Contenders to succeed Liz Truss as the UK's Prime Minister have until Monday to gather the support of 100 MPs to run, with a new Prime Minister declared by Friday. We'll hear from our correspondent on who is the latest to throw their hat in the ring, plus from people from across the UK on whether it would be right for former Prime Minister Boris Johnson to run again. Plus with the short length of Mrs Truss' leadership as UK Prime Minister - forty four days - we hear from people around the world who have also lost their job within a few weeks - or even one day.
