0:53This is The Times Morning Briefing for Monday, the 2nd of November. Officials say nine people have died after a business jet crashed to the ground in the US state of Florida. Everyone on board the Learjet is said to have died when it came down in a residential area of Palm Beach County. Local officials say at least 600 residents were being evacuated from a nearby trailer park. The impact of the crash has caused considerable damage to local infrastructure, including water lines, and it's expected that it will be at least 30 days before the road reopens. Andy Burnham is travelling to the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting and the King will address the meeting on Tuesday Reparations for slavery have dominated the conversation for the past few days Callum Anderson is the Labour MP for Buckingham and Bletchley and a member of the APPG for the Commonwealth Whilst I understand some of the commentary and lots of the remarks around slavery and reparations we shouldn't put that to one side and bury that in the sand and forget about it.

1:54But what I think is actually, we should be the priority, is thinking about all the ways in which we can partner on equal terms as a group of Commonwealth nations. Tuesday could mark a huge moment in Donald Trump's America where Democrats are expected to pick up key victories in midterm elections that could leave the president a lame duck. Joe Walsh is a former Republican Party presidential candidate and now a Democrat. I've never seen the American people this angry, especially angry at one person. Trump has single-handedly messed up the economy. He single-handedly took this country to war. And he's got mass federal thugs on our streets for the last year, disappearing people off of our streets.

2:42The anger in this country that this has created, I think, is unprecedented. It's going to be a big old blue wave. We don't know how blue it's going to be, but I don't think America's ever seen anything like this. Germany's government is promising a crackdown on looters and rioters after the interior minister blamed left-wing groups and migrants for violence that marred youth protests across the country at the weekend. Tens of thousands took to the streets of German cities to demand better education and lower living costs as a protest movement that began among secondary school peoples in France spread across the border for the first time.

3:19The German demonstrations were led by the campaign group Gen Z Regelt, meaning Gen Z takes charge. Journalist Elizabeth Rushton is in Berlin for The Times. We had a wave of protests across several cities in Germany, following on from these large protests that we've seen in France, and addressing many of the same topics. So wanting more spending on education, youth services, mental health, instead of what the German government is proposing to funnel more spending to, which is defence. There's more on these stories throughout the day on Times Radio.
