6:01 pm
good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. the government has signed a new deal with rwanda today, the latest attempt in plans to send some migrants there. the supreme court ruled the last version of the policy was against the law as migrants sent to rwanda would then be at risk of being sent back home dangerous countries. today the home secretary james cleverly insisted the new deal addressed those issues. but he couldn't guarantee that any flights carrying asylum seekers would take off before the next election. our political editor chris mason travelled with him to rwanda. this was james cleverly�*s first foreign trip as home secretary, but hang on a minute, a spot of east african deja vu. priti patel came here as home secretary in april of last year and suella braverman was here in march. three home secretaries making it to rwanda before a single migrant. last month, the supreme court said the rwanda plan was unlawful. this is what the government's hoped
6:02 pm
for solution looks like. a treaty between the uk and rwanda. the uk and rwanda are working on this because it is important, not because it is necessarily easy or that it buys you a cheap or quick popularity. rwanda and the uk understand there is a critical need to find innovative ways to address the suffering of migrants making desperate journeys and the exploitation of criminal human smugglers. can you guarantee that migrants will be on their way here as soon as the spring, or are you crossing your fingers and hoping for the best? of course, we want to see this part of our wider migration plan up and running as quickly as possible. we feel very strongly that this treaty addresses all the issues raised by their lordships
6:03 pm
in the supreme court. key to the supreme court's concern was the fear rwanda would send people to countries where they would be unsafe. british judges will now sit in rwandan courts to hear appeals where in some instances migrants could return to the uk. this whole idea has always been novel, unconventional. ministers say it has to be because illegal migration is a massive challenge, and so they have to think of big, new ideas. but they can't be certain it will work. critics say it could end up being an expensive experiment doomed to failure. we have seen more home secretaries that we _ we have seen more home secretaries that we have asylum seekers sent to rwanda _ that we have asylum seekers sent to rwanda and we still don't have a full answer on how much this is costing — full answer on how much this is costing. we know they have already sent cheques to rwanda for 140 million — sent cheques to rwanda for 140 million for a scheme that is clearly failing _
6:04 pm
as the home secretary prepared to leave, the big question remained. can you guarantee migrants will arrive in rwanda from the uk before the general election? the only thing i can guarantee is the effort we put in an i have guaranteed that we will address the issues that the supreme court has put forward and we have. i guarantee that we'll work collaboratively with the rwandan government and we have. it might not be enough. i guarantee that we will put this relationship on a firm international footing and we have. another trip complete, the same issue hangs in the air. will it be migrants not ministers heading here soon? chris mason, bbc news, rwanda. the government says the rwanda deal will help bring down illegal migration. so far this year 29,000 people have crossed the channel on small boats. danny savage has been to north nottinghamshire to find out what people make of the government's migration plans. worksop in north nottinghamshire, a

6:07 pm
in the week running up to christmas and then again in the first week of january after rejecting a new government pay offer. the walkouts injanuary will be for six full days, one of the longest single periods of industrial action ever in the nhs. let's get more now with our health editor hugh pym. gives the exact dates first of all. right in the heart of winter, the busiest time for the nhs, the first strike will start on december the 20th early in the morning and last for three days. that will be difficult enough but it will get even harder in the new year, always a really challenging time for hospitals and other health services. six days from january the 3rd, the longest of its kind in this dispute and in the history of the nhs by doctors. health leaders are clearly very concerned about this. the nhs confederation representing employers said this was the worst fear come true. ,, ~' , . said this was the worst fear come true. ,, ~ , ., , ., , ., true. strikes at this time of year. is there true. strikes at this time of year. is there any _

6:09 pm
the bodies of victims after the attack. this report from our middle east correspondent lucy williamson contains graphic details from the start and testimony you may find very distressing. out of the chaos and mass trauma of the hamas attacks, new stories are starting to emerge — of rape and sexual assault. including graphic testimony from an eye witness interviewed by police. i realised they were raping her one by one. then she was passed to another man in uniform. she was still alive when she was being raped. the scale of sexual violence here is not clear — bodies were mutilated and survivors few. police admit they are facing a lack of forensic evidence from the site. you can still hear the israeli bombardment of gaza and see vast
6:10 pm
clouds of black smoke hanging over the gaza strip. but in the days following the attacks, this site was an active combat zone. it was a big enough challenge to collect the bodies, let alone early forensic evidence of sexual crimes. videos shot by hamas during the attacks, an early warning, a large bloodstain on the trousers of one woman captive, female bodies piled on trucks, naked or semi—clothed. you see the way that it's burnt... body collectors describe piles of women's bodies, naked from the waist down, some with their legs splayed. those who witnessed sexual attacks have struggled with what they saw. i spoke with girls that are now, at least three girls, that are now hospitalised for very hard psychiatric situation because of the rapes they watched. they pretended to be dead and they watched it and they heard everything from the side.
6:11 pm
some of them want to kill themselves. some can't deal with that. crucial evidence has come from the makeshift identification unit at this army base. but the scale of sexual abuse during these attacks may never be fully known. it's definitely multiple. it's hard to tell. i have also dealt with more than a few burnt bodies, and those, i have no idea what they went through before hand. bodies that are missing the bottom half, i also don't know if they were raped. staff told me there were patterns in the violence visited on women's bodies according to location. investigators say these attacks were systematic and premeditated, but piecing together even one single story is slow and difficult work. the wider story of sexual violence in these attacks is onlyjust beginning. lucy williamson,

bbc news, jerusalem. the israeli military says it has engaged in the heaviest day of fighting since the start of its offensive in gaza. in the south, israeli forces have entered the city of khan younis. the united nations is warning of an "even more hellish scenario" in gaza with no safe places for people to go. this map shows the main districts of gaza. a huge flow of people were told to leave their homes more than a month ago since hamas, designated as a terrorist organistaion by the uk government, attacked israel. the un says nearly 1.9m people have been forced from their homes in this way since october the 7th. that's more than 85% of the population in gaza. this is the latest damage assessment map of the territory as shown here in red. the worst hit areas you can see in the north of the strip. our diplomatic correspondent, paul adams, sent this report from jerusalem.
6:13 pm
as israeli forces move south, another hospital in the eye of the storm. this was al nasr in khan younis this morning. four days after the cease—fire ended, a desperate constant procession of death, injury and grief. nearby, a miraculous escape. two sisters, maria and lana, pulled alive from the rubble three days after being buried, along with dozens of members of theirfamily. i saw a body on the ground, her head was covered with rocks. at first, i thought it was my sister, katya, but then i looked again, and i thought it is jenna, my cousin. death and displacement, two things israel's american allies have asked it to minimise. but people are fleeing —
6:14 pm
many of them not for the first time. the war�*s destruction driving them on. explosions. washington wanted this phase of the war to be different. but for those caught up in it, like this panic—stricken ambulance crew, it looks and feels very much the same. gunfire. street battles are raging in khan younis — these pictures from islamichhad, one of the two main palestinian armed factions. israel will win this fight, but at what cost? paul adams, bbc news, jerusalem. our top story this evening.. a new deal with rwanda — the government's latest attempt to send some migrants there. and still to come. it won't be released until 2025 but suchis it won't be released until 2025 but such is the excitement more than 20 million people have watched the new

olympics on behalf of team gb. to stay in with a chance they have to overtake the netherlands and win their group tonight, which means they have to beat scotland here at hampden park and probably buy a bigger margin because it could all come down to goal difference, so there's lots of permutations in play and also another element to all of this which is that got it with hopes of representing team gb, their best chance of doing that is to suffer a heavy defeat here to england. scotland can rubbish the suggestion that their integrity is in doubt and said it is outrageous and just respectful and we all know they would love nothing more than to beat england here but all the same it is a bizarre situation facing scotland as they prepared to walk out at hampden park.— as they prepared to walk out at hampden park. it has cost more than one billion dollars to make , it won't go on sale until 2025 — but such is the demand for the latest installment of the video game grand theft auto — that 78 million people have watched the new trailer online in the last 24 hours after it was released early

amid fears some of it had been leaked. our technology correspondent mark cieslak has been looking at its extraordinary appeal. lucia? do you know why you're here? bad luck, i guess. critically acclaimed, commercially lucrative and controversial in equal measure. well, look who's back. a blockbuster with its roots in the uk. the company behind gta, rockstar games, celebrates its 25th anniversary this month, with this trailer revealing the next installment in the series. originally called dma design, its developers were based in dundee. the first grand theft auto looked very different from the game we know today. but even this 2d top down version proved controversial. it's been widely criticized for its violent content.
6:25 pm
under proposals being considered by the home office, a health warning would be flashed up on the screen at the start, reminding players not to drive like this on the roads. it's a series of games that's always managed to offend somebody. more recent outings have heavily lent into dark humour and satire in between all of the car chases and criminality. it's been ten years since gta 5 released and it still regularly top sales charts, racking up over £6 billion in revenue. this first look at gta 6 reveals the game is set in a location similar to miami vice city and the wider state of leoneda. we'll have to wait until the game's released in 2025 to see if gta 6 lives up to the series' legacy of lawlessness. mark cieslak, bbc news. it's one of the most prestigious, career defining arts awards in the world. previous winners of the turner prize have included steve mcqueen, grayson perry and damian hirst. and later this evening we'll know who's won the turner prize for 2023 at a ceremony in eastbourne.
6:26 pm
our culture editor katie razzall is at eastbourne winter garden. nearly 400 people are gathered here in these beautiful surroundings for dinner and speeches where in about an hour and a half's time, we will found out who has won the turner. it feels as though the prizes back on form with four artists skilfully responding to the big themes of our age, whether it's the pandemic, the windrush scandal or what it is like to live in britain today. it is a preview of the works in the running. this year, the turner prize has taken a trip to the seaside. eastbourne's towner gallery has doubled its usual visitor numbers to see the works of the four artists vying for the £25,000 prize. the show�*s curator, noel collins, gave me a tour. we're going through into jesse darling's exhibition, and here you can see he's transformed every entrance into a kind of checkpoint. borders are a theme in this room
6:27 pm
of unionjacks, bunting and pedestrian barriers. jesse is really tackling the british identity and nationhood and also sort of reading something of the politics of our time. this is just so dramatic, isn't it? the bookies' favourite is birmingham based barbara walker. she's bringing attention and visibility to those individuals impacted by the windrush scandal. you know, these political issues, it becomes real when it's in the hands of barbara walker. members of the windrush generation were denied their lawful immigration status. conceptual artist ghislaine leon explores issues including motherhood and the roles we play. i thought i'd ask what some may be wondering what makes these toys from a public library, these vacuum cleaners art? i think what we're looking at is also the concept. it's the idea. she's also funnelling resources. we're paying a fee to have this work here and it goes right back into a public library. and rory pilgrim's work
6:28 pm
is also socially engaged. this created with people who've struggled with their mental health. this work was made throughout the covid—19 pandemic. so we're hearing from individuals. we're hearing about their experiences with nature, the public parks, the secret gardens that they visited, and the feeling of solace that that brought to them and safety. so what the visitors to the towner, think of this year's turner compared with the past? there's always an element of politics, but it seems more personal. ijust find it pretty inspirational. yeah, just to see what everyone's talking about at the moment. have you got a sense of who you'd like to win? i think barbara. i think. yeah. because, well, that's the one on our tour round that really resonates, i think.
6:29 pm
