diplomats say the chances of a new ceasefire are narrowing. the eu and america condemn the draught deal at the un's climate summit in dubai — criticising the lack of any call forfossilfuels to be phased out. and — barbie and oppenheimer lead the way at the golden globes — with seventeen nominations between them. hello, welcome to the daily global, where we'll bring you the top stories from around the world. rishi sunak has apologised at the covid inquiry to all those who suffered as a result of the government's actions during the pandemic. the prime minister — who was chancellor at the time — has been defending his role at the inquiry — which is looking at how political decisions were made. mr sunak has been accused by some of putting the economy before lives. the main criticism centres

around his month—long eat out to help out scheme — which ran in august 2020. diners received 50% off meals at restaurants on mondays, tuesdays and wednesdays — with the government subsidising the bill. here's our health reporter, jim reid. mine too. that and the yakisoba, depends on the mood i'm in. back in the summer of 2020, the then chancellor brought his flagship policy to the table. eat out to help 0ut subsidised midweek meals in pubs and restaurants. it proved popular at the time. but critics say it fuelled a rise in infections. did you ignore the advice over cobit? ——did you ignore the advice over covid?

earlier witnesses, scientists and ministers have said they were not consulted in advance about that eat 0ut consulted in advance about that eat out to help 0ut scheme. he was asked to respond. why would i raise it as a risk when i didn't believe it was because it was designed in a context of a safe reopening? the onus is surely on the people who now believed it was a risk to have raised it at the time when something could have been done about it if they felt strongly. i am very clear that i don't believe it was. some analysis suggests the benefit to companies wasn't huge, but people speaking for the industry sayjobs were on the line. i think it is highly likely that without eat out to help 0ut you would have seen tens of thousands of businesses fail, millions ofjobs at risk across the sector. we lost 10% of hospitality businesses that year even with all that support measures. but today was not just about the eat out to help 0ut scheme.

as chancellor rishi sunak was at the centre of the key balancing act of the pandemic. 0n the one hand, officials were trying to contain the virus, on the other, they were trying to protect the economy as much as possible. later rishi sunak denied a suggestion heard earlier in this inquiry that the treasury was nicknamed the pro—death scored by other officials. were you aware that the treasury was being referred to in those terms? i wasn't and i do not think it is a fair characterisation on the incredibly hard—working people that i was lucky to be supported by in the treasury. it will now be up to this inquiry to decide if the government got that balance right. his verdict is unlikely to be published before this time asked to respond, the now prime minister said looking back, it was still the right thing to do. a potentially tricky day awaits mr sunak tomorrow — this time, it's all to do with his plan to send some

asylum seekers to rwanda. mps are due to vote on it on tuesday — but — an influential group of mr sunak�*s own conservative mps, known as the european research group, say they've looked at the proposals in depth. and their verdict — it's no more than a "partial and incomplete" solution. the plans have already been revised after the supreme court said they couldn't go ahead as originally planned due to safety concerns. the government is indicating it won't be deterred from putting this version to the vote. 0ur political editor chris mason reports. the prime minister under oath three—and—a—half miles away as his party plots here in westminster. remember this guy? a self—styled warrior of the brexit battles is back. the bill overall provides a partial and incomplete solution. the feeling very much in the meeting is that the government will be best advised to pull the bill, and to come up with a revised version that works better than this

one, which has so many holes in it. the thing is for ministers as well as those like mr francois who says the government isn't going far enough, other conservatives fear it could be going too far. the one nation group of conservative mps acknowledges this is a hugely important issue to be tackled and needs to be tackle quickly but we have to do that within the bounds of international law. the government has a persuasion job on its hands, it has published its legal advice which acknowledges people could still take it to court. the bill does allow for an exceptionally narrow route to individual challenge. not to do so would mean ministers accepting that those unfit to fly, for example those in the late stages of pregnancy, could be removed with no right tojudicial scrutiny. in any case, completely blocking any court challenges would be a breach of international law. here at the home office there are two new ministers after the resignation

of the immigration minister last week. one of the newbies is trying to turn on charm towards tory mps, see if you can keep count of how many times he says encourage. tomorrow i am going to be encouraging each and every one of my colleagues to vote with the government. i am going to encourage them to listen. i have been engaging as you would expect with colleagues notjust over the weekend, notjust over the last weeks but over the last weeks and months and i would encourage colleagues to listen, i would encourage colleagues on both side of the house to listen to the debate, to have a robust exchange and make up their own minds but i will be encouraging them to support the government tomorrow. the rwanda plan has cost £240 million so far, with a further 50 million set aside as well. and this afternoon the top civil servant at the home office said... we do not have the evidence that there is a deterrent effect yet and think it would be surprising if we did, given it is not yet operational. as a measure of how worried the government is about winning tomorrow's vote, familiar faces are appearing on their behalf. blimey the government must have a bit of the colley wobbles

if they have ask you to come out and bat for them. laughter. hardly that. i volunteered myself really over the weekend. is the essence of your message to colleagues, look, this is just as good as it is going to get? i am an old mountaineer, it is move of a ridge, if you go left it is too hard and it will collapse, because of that, if we go right it is too soft and it will collapse because of that. the persuading, the meeting, the deciding continues here tonight. from the corner of my eye, i can see our political correspondent standing by, we are not going to go to him. he is waiting for damien green to arrive to be interviewed about this precise story, about where the prime minister's support for a nap lies for tomorrow. so we will go to iain watson in a few minutes�* time when he is ready for us. but for now, i

want to bring you to our other big story of the day, the intense fighting continuing in parts of the gaza strip, regarded by israel as hamas strongholds. in the southern city of khan yunis — where israel suspects hamas leaders may be hiding — tanks have reached the main north—south road. israeli aircraft have been attacking an area to the west. the hamas—run health ministry says, that dozens of people have been killed across gaza in the past 2a hours. the israeli army has issued another call for palestinians to evacuate gaza city and khan younis. it says, seven more of its soldiers have been killed, bringing the total number to more than 100 since the conflict began. rockets have again been launched from gaza into israel — with one person injured in the central city of holon. hamas, which is classed a terrorist organisation by many western governments, has threatened that — not one of its hostages will leave gaza alive — unless israel agrees to a prisoner exchange. diplomats at the un say the general assembly

is likely to vote on tuesday, on another call for an �*immediate ceasefire�* in gaza. here's our international editor, jeremy bowen. taking cover on the road to tel aviv from rockets out of gaza. air raid sirens and the activation of israel's iron dome antimissile system. most of the time, life looks pretty normal here in central israel, but everything changed with the seventh of the october attacks. their fear shows the depth of the collective trauma, hamas inflicted on israelis. iron dome took care of most of the rockets, but one man nearby was hurt. the fact that hamas can still attack means that it is not beaten. we were going to tel aviv to see the man on the left, a veteran fighter pilots, air force general and former head of israeli military intelligence who still advises his successors.

the us defence secretary, lloyd austin, said that if israel continues the way it is, the risk is a tactical victory but a strategic defeat because too many palestinians will have been killed. what do you make of that statement? israel is having a better ratio of terrorists to collateral damage than the americans and the brits have in musso and raqqa. what about the civilians? so, when i say collateral damage, i'm speaking about the civilians. there are more civilians than terrorists killed in mosul and raqqa then in gaza. please go and check the numbers. why is it that the americans, your most significant ally, are saying that israel is killing too many palestinians civilians? they want it to be done without any collateral damage, without any humanitarian crisis. if they have the formula how to do it, please, help us to have it. this formula does not exist.

will this lead to a lengthy israeli occupation of gaza? no, we don't want to occupy gaza. we don't want hamas to be in gaza. we don't want to occupy gaza, one reservation. there will not be a military power that can repeat the 7th of october attack on israel. and the future for wounded civilians in gaza's last few overcrowded hospitals may be amputations or death, as they are not getting the follow—up treatment they need. this girl has just been wounded for the second time. she says, "they cut my hand. "my grandpa was killed, my dad was shot, and my brother is dead." she's asked what she wants. "a new hand." jeremy bowen, bbc news, jerusalem.

as always, more on that story on our website. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. a girl accused of the murder of the transgender teenager is telling a jury transgender teenager is telling a jury at manchester crown court that she heard a scream and turned around to see her coaccused stabbing her. the 16—year—old, identified only as girl x became upset as she told the jury girl x became upset as she told the jury she saw another teenager stabbing breanna with a knife. a teenage boy charged with murder after a woman was shot dead in east london. killed in hackney last tuesday and a man and a 16—year—old boy also suffered gunshot wounds. today, 16—year—old boy was remanded in custody at magistrates' court and was also charged with two counts of attempted murder. a new type of

street drug which can be hundreds of times stronger than heroin has been linked to at least 5a deaths across the uk. they are synthetic opioids believed to be imported from china. they are causing huge problems, including, as we reported, 5a deaths. you're live with bbc news there's anger and frantic negotiating going on at the cop28 climate summit in dubai this evening — after the final draught deal was widely criticised as being too weak. it puts forward a number of ways to reduce global emissions but there's no direct reference to phasing out fossilfuels. and put forward a number of ways, but no direct reference to phasing out fossil fields. that has angered many. 0ur climate editor justin rowlatt is there. negotiators and campaigners agree that the world was the closest it's ever been to agreeing a deal to get to read of fossil fuels, ever been to agreeing a deal to get to read of fossilfuels, which, of course, are causing climate change, the kind of change that is affecting our world. there were a few holdouts

countries led by saudi arabia, including iraq and bolivia, but it seems if anyone could persuade them to get on board, the uae could come of the people hosting this conference, neighbours of saudi arabia. and then, a couple of hours ago, we got a new draught text, as you say, instead of phasing out list of options, and then if you like, you can choose to do all of them, or if you wanted, none at all, so actually very weak deal. as you say, the 80 plus countries who really wanted a strong deal have retreated to their pavilions, their negotiating rooms to lick their wounds and consider how much they can get the back of that strong language in the text. we will see as these negotiations continue. decks in the uk have _ these negotiations continue. decks in the uk have been _ these negotiations continue. decks in the uk have been linked - these negotiations continue. decks in the uk have been linked to - these negotiations continue. decks in the uk have been linked to a - these negotiations continue. decks in the uk have been linked to a new group of street drugs that can be hundreds of times stronger than heroin. synthetic opioids believed to be coming to the uk from china. with more on that story, our

midlands correspondent and producer alex have been speaking to the mother of a young man who is thought to have died after a fatal overdose. a warning for those of you watching this, parts of the report are extremely distressing. he was funny. pretty. brilliant dancer. so kind. just kind. simeon mcanoy, who was 33, died just nine weeks ago from a drug overdose. an inquest will determine his cause of death, but the coroner has told his family that a powerful synthetic opioid was found in his system, belonging to a class of drugs known as nitazenes. it is believed that at the time, simeon thought he was taking heroin. we're sitting in the living room, with simeon in a box. i don't know how i will ever come back from it. simeon died here in birmingham. but his death is not the only one linked to nitazenes around

here in recent months. it's become a problem in this city, and across the country. nitazenes can be hundreds of times stronger than heroin. national crime agency figures shared with the bbc shows they have been linked to at least 5a deaths in the last six months, with a0 more waiting further testing. it's believed that a crackdown on heroin production in afghanistan has led to a rise in synthetic opioids here. the national crime agency says nitazenes are an absolute priority. they are likely to be being produced in illicit labs within china, and they are probably coming into the uk through a number of different vectors, but including fast parcels and posts. amy's in hospital after trying nitazenes dozens of times. she's used heroin for more than 20 years, but was shocked by their strength. we have agreed not to use her full name or show herface.

it's like a blanket, but it's like a, like a warm rush across your body. it can — itjust puts you out like a light. i mean, they call it gouching. i mean, you're just out of it for at least an hour. it's too dangerous, you know, i want to stop, i've got to stop it. there's too many people i know that are dying off it, and i — one of these days it's just going to be me. it's not helping me, it's not helping my life. iwant it's not helping me, it's not helping my life. i want my family back. drug charities say they are worried about the impact nitazenes are having on drug users, and the government has said it will ban 15 new synthetic opioids, but jackie wants to see more being done. i want awareness, the government to step in and protect our young people.

otherwise, this is going to be an epidemic and we are going to lose a lot of young people. navteonhal, bbc news. taking you back now to our top story, that conservative mps are meeting to discuss the prime minister's updated plan to send some asylum—seekers to rwanda. tory factions discussing their rwanda bail as the prime minister faces a crunch boat tomorrow. more analysis now with iain watson. some conservative mps say they will back rishi plan �*s in a boost to the prime minister, but what are others saying? prime minister, but what are others sa in: ? , ., prime minister, but what are others sa inc? , ., ' , saying? yes, two different meetings auoin on saying? yes, two different meetings going on simultaneously _ saying? yes, two different meetings going on simultaneously this - going on simultaneously this evening. the one nation group, the centre—right group, meeting at six o'clock, but also elsewhere around the palace of westminster, groups on the right were coalescing in deciding how they

for a while, the third attempt to legislate on rwanda and perhaps crowding out talk of the cost other things in which elections will be reformed stop integration is an important issue but it's not the only issue. i would much rather be talking about inflation coming down on the education, getting better in this country, there are many good things i would like to be talking about that the government has done, but we are having an immigration week, so let's talk about that. also there are successes there that we are not talking about the fact that the number of people coming across in small boats is down by a third this year, so the government has got a decent tale to tell on immigration but we do need him in the short term, to get the second reading of the bill through. he said that's far and no further, and to sum up, we could see further arguments, for the debates possibly also the potential for a government defeat when this bill finally emerges perhaps in january or february of next year. we will support this bill as it is

vote but he is facing a particularly rocky parliamentary road ahead to 0k, thank you very much indeed. as always, you can go to our website for more on that story. plenty more on that. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there, good evening. well, following two named storms over the weekend, elin and fergus, then it was much quieter day of weather today, with lots of blue sky and sunshine around — such as here in staffordshire, as captured by one of our weather watchers. but looking very different again tomorrow — it's all change, back to long spells of rain, particularly through the morning, strong, gusty winds, and blustery heavy showers throughout the afternoon for many of us — all courtesy of another area of low pressure that will be swinging its way in from the southwest, pushing northwards and eastwards through tonight and into tomorrow morning. it will bring some heavy downpours of rain across northern ireland, particularly counties

down in armagh. as we go through the overnight period, that rain sweeping across wales and england towards southern scotland, northeast england by the time we get into tuesday morning itself. a brief frost towards eastern counties, but temperatures will rise again with the approaching cloud and the rain — and this is how we'll start off tuesday morning, so temperatures well above freezing. strong, gusty winds towards irish sea coasts and down through the channel, as well. there'll be some heavy rain for a time across east lothian, fife, and down through northeast england. the main rain band will start to clear, but there'll be plenty of showers to swirling around this area of low pressure — some of the showers heavy and thundery, particularly towards the south and the west. but the air is mild, temperatures peaking between 7—13 celsius, the snow levels dropping a little across scotland, so here, we could see some wintry showers just over the highest peaks. now, as we head through tuesday night into wednesday, well, our area of low pressure pulls away to the near continent, so we're starting off wednesday with a hang back of cloud. still a brisk easterly wind for north sea—facing coasts, a few morning showers —

a brightening process from the west, but also some colder—feeling air along with a northwesterly wind for most, 3—9 celsius. we look out towards the north and the west to find this band of rain pushing eastwards as we head through wednesday night, briefly turning to snow before turning quite quickly back to rain. we could see some very transitory snow across the scottish mountains and the pennines for a time, but that rain will be clearing as we head through thursday morning. so again, another improving picture from the west. so, turning a lot drier as we head through the day on thursday. high pressure then builds in from the south as we head through friday, and that should keep us largely dry as we head through the rest of the week. but it will stay quite windy. still some rain towards the north and the west. bye—bye for now.
