they are coming across to the east coast of england, all the way from northumberland down to north norfolk, to feed on the voles that we have here. we are getting people from birmingham, staffordshire, derbyshire, and down from newcastle, to see this fantastic habitat on the banks of the humber. it's been great. we've had five up at any one time. with two hen harriers at the same time. i think they are a very enigmatic species, aren't they, really? - forward facing eyes. everyone seems to like owls. you don't need the binoculars, you don't need a telescope. you just need your eyes, and to look. to absolutely look, and you will see short—eared owls, hen harriers, buzzard, barn owl. we've seen it all, haven't we? a cold snap that has hit the uk has brought snow to several parts of the country. some commuters braved

snowfall and fog on the way into work, but these yorkshire residents took full advantage of the conditions and had a snowball fight, while aberdeenshire was covered in a layer of frost. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. have we taken your best snow pictures? the big frits is set to continue. it was a case of white cars in redcar, is heavy snow in the eastern area, meanwhile flakes of o snow fall in south—east england. this didn't result in gridlock on the roads. looking at the weather pictures, temperatures above freezing and many of the showers draped round the coastal areas are coming in as rain and sleet. most inland parts of the uk dry with sunshine, but the sunshine not doing very much for the temperatures we are still below freezing in a number of spots and we might squeak above freezing for some. it will stay really cold. overnights tonight, the
1:32 pm
showers will turn back to snow and we have some particularly showers to come across dumfries and galloway, reaching cumbria later, these could bring up to three centimetres of snow. snow showers in northern around eastern scotland and eastern england, bringing icy conditions. temperatures in the countryside could get down as low as 10 glees so a bitterly cold start to day on saturday. bit of mist and low cloud to clear away, showers again draped round the coast, this type in western areas we will see the showers an most will come in as rain and sleet, away from the showers, a lot of dry weather and sunshine but another day where temperatures will struggle to get much above freezing. as we go through saturday evening and night there could be disruptivether on the way, there are a couple of showers set to move in across england and wales, to the south coast might be just be rain we have got but inland probably snow
1:33 pm
and a threat of some freezing rain, what is that? it is liquid rain with a temperature below zero, it freezes on impact, brings nasty icy condition, that is something we could look at. further north, clearer skies but cold temperatures, down to minus ten or so in the coldest spots. so, heading into sunday, any wintry weather tending to clear grey the east, might see rain in the far south. again with wintriness mixed in. away from that it is a familiar picture of a freezing cold start and a lot of dry weather with some spells of sunshine but the temperatures really struggling to rights for most of the uk, maybe something slightly less cold pushing into the far south. beyond that into next week, low pressure approaching from the south. this is another one to watch because it could have a mix of rain and snow, but through is a bit of urn uncertainty how far thanks chris.

1:35 pm
uefa, have condemned what they've described as "unacceptable violence" which occured in birmingham before aston villa's win over legia warsaw in the europa conference last night. four police officers were injured and 46 people detained after violence broke out in the build—up to villa's europa conference league win. west midlands police said missiles were thrown at officers. the polish side had been told four weeks ago that their ticket allocation would be reduced to just over 1,000 over safety concerns. aston villa said about an hour before kick—off, legia fans engaged in what they described as "planned and systematic violent acts against west midlands police officers". the travelling supporters were subsequently barred from entering the stadium. uefa is now in the process of gathering all official reports from the game before deciding on potential next steps. 0n the pitch, villa had already qualified for the knock out stages, but alex moreno gave them a 2—1 victory to put them top of their group — ahead of last night's opponents. brighton sealed their place
1:36 pm
in the knockout stages of the europa league, with a 1—0 win over aek athens but their supporters�* joy was short lived after fans were inadvertently affected by tear gas. sussex police said flash bangs and tear gas were used towards the home supporters after the final whistle, which kept fans inside the stadium after the match. joao pedro scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot in the second half. the seagulls can seal top spot with a win against marseille in theirfinal group game in two weeks' time. unfortunately in two weeks' time. at the end of the game, unfortunately at the end of the game, a number of their ultras stayed in the stadium and started to attack the brighton fans. tear gas was employed against the athens ultras, the ae k ultras, and unfortunately that wafted through the stadium. quite rightly, some of the stadium. quite rightly, some of the brighton supporters have been affected. i will here as a liaison is to make sure anybody with respiratory problems or youngster is affected, we made sure we got them on the buses or paramedic care that was needed. thankfully from everyone that we have seen is gone past, yes
1:37 pm
it has been an irritant. i have experienced to gas before policing in europe, it's not pleasant. for most of the brighton fans, it's the first time it has happened. unfortunately, it had to be done by the greek police towards the eight uk fans. i the greek police towards the eight ukfans. i must the greek police towards the eight uk fans. i must stress it wasn't towards the brighton fans in any way, but the nature of it and the fact it is such a still night, it wafted through and affected some of the brighton fans as well. some big results in the other europa league matches — liverpool are through as group winners. they beat lask 4—0. west ham also won, they can top the group in a fortnight�*s time. draws for rangers, and in the conference league, aberdeen came back to level 2—2 in finland, in hjk helsinki. for english clubs on the whole though — a good week in europe — four wins — plus manchester city's and arsenal's in the champions league, contributing to co—efficient points, which could lead to a 5th spot in the champions league next season. everton have lodged an appeal against their 10—point deduction in the premier league, for a breach of financial fair play. the club were handed the punishment — the biggest
1:38 pm
in premier league history by an independent commission which dropped them from 14th to second from bottom. the appeal will be heard and concluded before the end of the season. that is it from us for now, let's hear from that is it from us for now, let's hearfrom rishi sunak at that is it from us for now, let's hear from rishi sunak at cop28. iam i am calling on major emitters to dramatically accelerate delivery on what they have already promised. everyone can do more. let's be very clear, the uk is leading the charge. we are absolutely committed to our net zero targets. we have already de carbonised faster than any other major economy. 0ur emissions are down 48% since 1990 compared to the limited cuts from others and a 300% increase from china. we are also one of the largest climate donors, because we want to help those suffering the impacts of climate change. my pledge from september of £1.6 billion for the green climate
1:39 pm
fund was that uk's biggest single climate change commitments. and we are going further. announcing £1.6 billion today for renewable energy, green innovation and forests, delivering on the historic glasgow deal to end deforestation. because we can't tackle climate change without nature. we are also leveraging the genius of the city of london to deliver billions more in private finance. again, the uk is leading by example. we need others to step up. my second message is this. as i said in september, we won't tackle climate change unless we take people with us. climate politics is close to breaking point. the british people care about the environment. they know that the cost of inaction are intolerable. but they also know that we have choices about how we act. so, yes, we will meet our targets but we will do it in a more pragmatic way which
1:40 pm
doesn't bode on working people. we have scrapped plans on heat pumps and energy efficiency which would have cost families thousands of pounds. we will help people to improve energy efficiency and cut bills, but we won't force them to. we'll nature across the uk. just this week, i announced a huge new effort with 3a landscape recovery projects, a new national park and more. and we will harness the opportunities of technology and green industry to deliver net zero in a way that benefits the british people. and today, i can share more proof on the progress that we are making. i am proof on the progress that we are making. iam pleased proof on the progress that we are making. i am pleased to announce a new deal between two companies that includes a commitment to jointly invest up to £11 billion in the uk's new wind farm which will be the biggest in the world. this is a huge boost for uk renewables, creating more jobs, boost for uk renewables, creating morejobs, helping to power more
1:41 pm
than 3 million homes and increasing our energy security. and, by the way, this comesjust our energy security. and, by the way, this comes just days after we announced £30 billion of investment at our global investment summit and £21 billion of investment from south korea. we have quite frankly never seen a week like it. into buy today, i also had conversations with a range of leaders including israel, qatar, egypt and jordan about the situation in israel and gaza. 0ur position is clear and consistent, we have been categorical in our support for israel's right for self defence and to go after the architects of the atrocity of the 7th of october while stressing israel's obligation to act in line with international humanitarian law. i strongly welcome the pause in fighting to get hostages out and we have been using the opportunity to get more aid into gaza. the uk has trebled its aid,
1:42 pm
but still not enough is getting in via rafah and other crossings. so we are exploring other routes, including by sea. the breakdown of the truce today is deeply disappointing, not least because a growing number of hostages were coming home. i pay tribute to the role of qatar in helping facilitate these efforts and i hope that the process can be resumed. we want all hostages released and in this initial phase, all women and children should be freed. i have said before that the number of civilian casualties and the scale of suffering has been far too high, so the return of hostilities is concerning to us all. we are making it clear that israel must take maximum care to protect civilian life. we are opposed to anything that would involve the mass displacement of people. we need to ensure that there are viable, designated areas where safety can be guaranteed and we need to ensure the
1:43 pm
incident infrastructure like water supplies and hospitals are protected. again, we have been consistent on all of this so i support the civilian protection plans outlined yesterday by the us secretary of state. indeed, this has been a central theme in our discussions with regional leaders here, including israeli president. ultimately, we will redouble our efforts to create a political horizon in which hostages are freed and security, safety and dignity is assured. we will continue to work with our partners to create a lasting peace, beginning with practical steps that address the crisis now. thank you. write, if it turns are some questions. can we start with the bbc?— turns are some questions. can we start with the bbc? vicki young, bbc news. start with the bbc? vicki young, bbc news- nobody _ start with the bbc? vicki young, bbc news- nobody is _ start with the bbc? vicki young, bbc news. nobody is disputing _ start with the bbc? vicki young, bbc news. nobody is disputing the - start with the bbc? vicki young, bbc news. nobody is disputing the uk . start with the bbc? vicki young, bbc| news. nobody is disputing the uk has done well up to this point in reducing emissions but some of your recent announcements suggest that you feel we have done our bit for now and can leave future progress to

1:45 pm
just set out. that is my point, we can meet targets that are already more ambitious than anyone else's but we can do so in a more pragmatic way that saves families, five, ten, £15,000. why wouldn't you do that, it is my question? i think that's the right thing to do for britain, demonstrate global leadership on this issue, notjust in the past but in the future, do so in a way that saves families up and down our country thousands of pounds. that seems to me to be entirely reasonable, sensible and the right thing to do for britain. next, can we turn to sky?— thing to do for britain. next, can we turn to sky? thank you, prime minister. we turn to sky? thank you, prime minister- can _ we turn to sky? thank you, prime minister. can you _ we turn to sky? thank you, prime minister. can you honestly - we turn to sky? thank you, prime minister. can you honestly say - we turn to sky? thank you, prime l minister. can you honestly say hand on heart that none of the people you have spoken to today have raised any concern about the recent changes you made in green policy in the uk? hand on heart, made in green policy in the uk? hand on heart. 10096. _ made in green policy in the uk? hand on heart, 100%, no. _ made in green policy in the uk? hand on heart, 100%, no. not— made in green policy in the uk? hand on heart, 10096, no. not a _ made in green policy in the uk? flaw. on heart, 100%, no. not a single leader i have spoken to today has spoken about that. do you know why? most of their targets are less ambitious than the uk's. just take
