"worse by the hour". the uk home secretary — signs a treaty with rwanda 7 as they try again to fulfil its promise — to send asylum seekers to the country. and a billion—dollar version of grand theft auto is revealed in a new trailer — it'll be the first update of the game in a decade. sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's gavin. manchester united manager erik ten hag insists his squad are "together" — and denied reports of a dressing room rift. the club are 7th in the league and take on chelsea on wednesday — and earlier took the step by excluding four media organisations from their scheduled news conference earlier after reacting furiously to reports up to half of the squad were either unhappy with ten hag, or his training and tactics.

they should come to us first and not go around our back. printing articles, that is not the right thing. we have another relationship and then they can give that to us beforehand. we can have a professional discussion and debate about it. there are always players in every team who are not playing as much and who are less happy, but this is no different to normal. chris wilder's back at sheffield united — and said he's more enthusiastic and determined than he's ever been in his life. the club confirmed his appointment, following the sacking of paul heckingbottom on tuesday. he's been appointed on a contract until the summer of 2025. wilder takes charge with the blades rooted bottom of the table. they lost 5—0 against fellow strugglers burnley on saturday with their next game on wednesday against liverpool. wilder, whose last spell

in charge was in 2021, said in today's news conference — "at times you have to feel "the failure and feel the pain to make you better." mikel arteta has said he wouldn't categorically rule out any arsenal player leaving in the january transfer window. the gunners manager was responding to questions abou the future of goallkeeper aaron ramsdale who has made only three club appearances across all competitions since early september. england keeper ramsdale has been linked with a move to newcastle united. i want iwant him i want him with us and i'm really happy to have two very good goalkeepers and he is staying with us, and he wants to play for arsenal, that is what he wants, and the consequence for england, it is not like he has started a lot of games, so hopefully we can help him to be better here so he can play with england. arsenal can stretch their lead to five points at the top of the premier league table with a win at luton this evening. and burnley will be looking to build on that big win against sheffield united. victory away at wolves would take them out of the relegation zone. later on, england face scotland, renewing their rivalry
3:33 pm
in the women's nations league. england need a big win to finish top of the group, ahead of the netherlands, and keep alive great britain's hopes of qualification for next year's olympics. some scotland players could feature in that olympic team — this but there's no suggestion from the scottish camp that losing is an option ahead of the match. scotland is a wonderful country. it has wonderful people who are very passionate about everything. nobody could be brave enough to question the integrity of the players and how much they love representing their nation. the feeling of this group and the passion to represent thousands of girls and boys who are going to come tomorrow and inspire these people is stronger than anything. and a moment for canada to remember later. ao—year—old captain — christine sinclair — is set to retire from international football after their friendly with australia. after 23 years, and 331 caps — plus a record 190 goals for canada.
3:34 pm
sinclair is the all—time leading international women's football goalscorer. featherweight world champion amanda serrano has vacated her wbc title, after the organisation refused to sanction 12 three—minute round contests. women's bouts are usually contested over 10 two—minute rounds. the 35—year—old retained her wba, wbo and ibf titles against danila ramos in october by unanimous decision after 12 rounds. but her wbc belt wasn't at stake because the mexico city—based sanctioning body wouldn't endorse extending the length of rounds in female boxing, citing "health and safety" concerns. and that's all the sport for now. britain and rwanda have signed a new treaty aimed at getting the uk government's flagship aslum policy operational, following a series of legal challenges. the planned policy — first announced in april 2022 — would see some asylum seekers sent to rwanda to claim asylum there.

3:46 pm
tyres are such knobbly tyres, a lot more grippy off road. give a lot more traction on grass and gravel off. offroad bikes are already used by some forces but this is a first for the thames valley. it'll give officers the ability to disrupt anti—social behaviour in hard to reach areas. so the new bikes are capable of going off road both in urban environments, footpaths, parks, roadways, but also going into rural areas such as bridleways, farm tracks. rural crime is big business. £4 million of stolen equipment has been seized in the last 18 months, but it's in urban areas that this tactic could prove most useful. the bikes have already been deployed in reading to stop drug dealers and illegal vehicles being driven off road. you're live with bbc news. let's turn now to dubai where ministers from more than 60 countries have been meeting at the cop28 climate summit. and disagreements are emerging in the talks over a new climate change agreement, with saudi arabia indicating it won't accept a deal proposing cuts

3:48 pm
receiving about a third of the financing that goes to countries in peacetime, so it is intertwined and we are not saying that putting more climate money will solve the peace problems, and make everything more peaceful, but it will prevent things from getting worse. what peaceful, but it will prevent things from getting worse.— from getting worse. what are you hoinu for from getting worse. what are you hooing for in _ from getting worse. what are you hoping for in concrete _ from getting worse. what are you hoping for in concrete terms? - from getting worse. what are you i hoping for in concrete terms? well, here at com, — hoping for in concrete terms? well, here at com, the _ hoping for in concrete terms? well, here at com, the first _ hoping for in concrete terms? well, here at com, the first time - hoping for in concrete terms? -ii here at cop28, the first time ever, there was a piece day, a thematic day around the issues ijust talked about, more than a hundred countries signed a declaration, it is not legally binding, but it's a start to try to get this on the agenda but what we do need is more money. climate financing countries, especially adaptation money, to help them deal with these climate shocks like flooding and drought in these conflict settings, and unfortunately it is looking like developing

3:50 pm
promises that were made years ago in 2015 in paris, still not been made at this event, although i am hopeful in terms of getting global conflict on the agenda and getting some money towards those conflict affected countries, possibly for the loss of damage front that was agreed on the first day but i still think so much more has to be done —— loss of damage fund. perhaps it will be done away from the summit on the sidelines in the negotiations and in the talks and beyond, looking ahead over the next couple of years. the over the next couple of years. we have rot over the next couple of years. we have got to _ over the next couple of years. we have got to leave it there but thanks forjoining us. a decade—long wait for gamers is over. finally, a trailer for the sixth main game in the grand theft auto series has been released. rockstar games released it earlier than expected, after it was leaked online. but the hotly anticipated game won't land on shelves until 2025.

3:56 pm
but not in the short term. this evening, actually, the skies are going to be clearing and there's another frost on the way tonight. quite a sharp one and some fog forming, too. now, in the short term, quite thick cloud across parts of england and wales, although in the northwest here we've had some clearer skies, it's also been colder. and you can see at 5:00pm, temperatures around freezing in aberdeen, about four degrees in the south of england. now this evening, we're in between weather systems, one pulling away towards the east, another one advancing here from the west. in between, calm conditions, clear skies and fog will form. and on top of that, also very frosty weather. in fact, in parts of scotland, in rural spots, temperatures could be minus seven, minus ten degrees celsius and certainly a frost further south too. now out towards the west, we're starting to see that milderair coming in. you can see the southerly ease just ahead of this weather front here, which will bring rain, too. but for a time, that fog will linger tomorrow, particularly across parts of the midlands, southern england,
3:57 pm
the southeastern, where it does during the day, it could be really quite, quite raw, barely above freezing through most of the afternoon. but i think most of us should get at least some sunshine, particularly out towards the east. so more like five or six degrees. but look how much milder it is in belfast and plymouth. plymouth have double figures. so that wind and rain sweeping in. as i said, it could be a fair amount of rain over the next few days. we've already had some flooding recently in the southwest, so more rain to come and that weather system will be sweeping across the uk during the course of wednesday night through thursday as well. ahead of it there could be a little bit of wintryness across the scottish hills or the pennines. and then really a blustery day with a spell of heavy rain, at least for a time on thursday before things turn a little bit drier out towards the west. and you can see those temperatures recovering as well. so, a very turbulent weekend on the weather front with low pressure sweeping in and weather fronts. i don't think it's going to be raining all the time because the winds will be quite strong.
