bbc... after a bbc investigation found serious failings in the care of 51 young autistic people before they died, the minister for mental health in england says she's "acutely aware" of the challenges facing autism services. nearly half of the deaths were identified by coroners as relating to mental health or suicide. our reporter ruth clegg has been to meet some of those, campaigning for change. skaters fly. we literally fly. we defy gravity. not only has skateboarding taught rose to fly, she says it saved her life. the feeling you get when you go really fast and everything, the adrenaline rush — it certainly helps with mental health. after waiting nearly a year, rose has just recently been diagnosed with autism and adhd. and what do you think of this one? it's all right. because i skate there, it literally goes up, so you can't go very high on it. for many years, she feels she has been misunderstood — by her school, by her local mental health services, which could have proved fatal. i know what it's like to be
2:50 pm
on the verge of suicide. it's a horrible feeling. you don't want to die, but you have no other options. just a few weeks ago, our investigation exposed the serious and repeated failings in the care of young autistic people, and that's despite top—level warnings from coroners. of the 51 deaths we identified, nearly half were mental health—related. one of those was stefan. # happy birthday to you...# the 15—year—old died after being unable to access the therapy he so desperately needed. it sparked calls for his local health authority to take action, to prevent further deaths. and following our investigation, the minister for mental health said she was acutely aware of the problems facing autism services on a national level, and said it was a government priority. autistic children are 28 times more likely to think about, orattempt, suicide than the general population. to protect other young people,
2:51 pm
stefan�*s dad is working with nhs england, and is training the very services that failed his son. if you think people like rose, people like my son, stefan, from an early, early age, have had this deficit narrative aimed at them. you can't do this, don't do that, sit still, look at me when i'm talking to you, you need this help, you need that help, you're not human, you're broken. and years and years of that, accumulating, results in trauma. it's for the middle of that bit. oh, yeah, that's it there. that is for this section, and that's for that section. rose is designing her skateboard — her way. her outlook of the world is nurtured here at this skateboarding academy in kent, where autistic children still sit exams, but in a completely different environment. what colour was you thinking of your base colour for this? did you have an idea? red, blue and yellow. red, blue and yellow? yeah. cool school was just so much more difficult. when i went to school,
2:52 pm
because i don't really go any more, i always want to go to my skate lessons, because i'd know that the community and everything would make me feel better after a hard day at school. this was his skateboard. tristan�*s son stefan also found solace in skateboarding. one of the few times he could be himself. tristan is now trying to change the system, so all young autistic people can be themselves, whereever they are, whatever they need. that gives me a bit of a warm glow, knowing that i am doing something and perhaps leaving a bit of a legacy for stefan. he would be very proud of his dad. i know. hang on a minute... yeah, i hope so. i hope he's sitting up there, looking down on us, and saying, "go on, dad, make a difference to those other children, so they don't have to go through what i went through." ruth clegg, bbc news. and our reporter ruth clegg joins us now.

his son. so he is going to train psychiatrists and social workers to try and improve an understanding of autism and obviously in the long run, improve services that are so vital to so many people. ruth clegg, thank ou vital to so many people. ruth clegg, thank you for— vital to so many people. ruth clegg, thank you for telling _ vital to so many people. ruth clegg, thank you for telling us _ vital to so many people. ruth clegg, thank you for telling us more - vital to so many people. ruth clegg, thank you for telling us more about | thank you for telling us more about your investigation. there is plenty more on the bbc news website if you want to find out more. before we end, let's take your live to gaza, the israel—gaza border. a smokier sky today, is that temporary ceasefire which lasted seven days has now ended. fighting has resumed. both sides have blamed each other for the resumption in violence. and the hamas run health ministry in gaza saying more than 100 people have been killed since that ceasefire ended. lucy will be here next, stay with us and bbc news.
2:56 pm
hello there. our freezing—cold run of weather is set to continue for a while yet and certainly through the weekend, probably well into next week, too. now, earlier today, it was a case of white cars in redcar. yes, some early snow here. we also had some snowfall across parts of northern—eastern scotland, eastern areas of england. however, this afternoon, now that temperatures are above freezing, many of the showers draped around coastal areas are coming in more as a mix of rain and a bit of sleet. across inland areas, dry, with plenty of sunshine around, but the sunshine not doing much for the temperatures. it's going to stay very, very cold. now, during this evening and overnight, the showers around coastal areas will switch back over to snow. and these heavier showers work across dumfries and galloway, probably reach cumbria towards the end of the night. could see up to three centimetres of snow from those, but there will also be some snow showers for northern and eastern scotland and eastern areas of england. that, again, could bring an odd centimetre or two of snow. otherwise, a sharp frost.
2:57 pm
temperatures getting down to about —10 degrees celsius. icy conditions, then, to take us into saturday morning. a bit of early—morning mist clearing out of the way. a lot of dry weather, with sunshine once again, but this time, we'll have some showers across western areas. these, again, coming in mostly as rain or sleet during the day. those temperatures struggling to get much, if anything, above freezing, particularly in the north and the east. now, through saturday evening and overnight, some heavier showers working from the west. now, these could start to turn to snow, but i think mixed in with this, there might well be some freezing rain, really dangerous stuff. it's liquid rain that's got a temperature below zero, it freezes on impact, turns to ice. so i think the weather could turn very icy across parts of england and wales through saturday night. away from that feature, we've got the clearer skies again, a widespread and sharp frost. and again, we could see temperatures dipping down perhaps to as low as —10 in rural areas. sunday's weather forecast — morning mist clearing, many of us having a dry day with sunshine, a few wintry showers draped around coastal areas.
2:58 pm
but we'll have this potential area of rain, maybe with a bit of wintriness mixed in on its northern edge, coming through on sunday. still a bit of uncertainty about that. the air may get a little bit less cold across the far south, but otherwise, it's another freezing cold day, with temperatures about 1, 11—5 degrees celsius for many of us. into monday, low pressure moves to our south, uncertainty about the position. but again, we could have a bit of snow to watch out for on the northern flank.

3:00 pm
live from london. this is bbc news the ceasefire is over... and fighting resumes. the gaza health ministry says more than a hundred people have been killed in the hours since the temporary truce ended. each side blames the other for breaching the ceasefire terms. aid and fuel trucks are now being stopped from entering gaza. world leaders are in dubai to talk climate change. king charles urges them to make cop 28 a �*turning point�* for the planet. the first time, world leaders signed a declaration recognising the role of food and farming in global warming. some important progress has been made but it worries me greatly that we remain so dreadfully far off track. hello, i'm lucy grey. welcome to verified live — three hours of breaking stories, and checking out
3:01 pm
the truth behind them. the temporary ceasefire in the israel—gaza war is over.
