strongly to the south of the uk. frontal systems are bringing some rain at times up towards the north, but broadly a south or southwesterly flow of air and that is going to bring a very mild feel to the weather for the time of year. double digit temperatures for most of us as we head into the weekend but there will often be a lot of cloud. this is bbc news. the headlines... rishi sunak battles to head off

a parliamentary rebellion among his own mps, ahead of a crunch vote on his rwanda asylum policy. israel says the bodies of two hostages have been found in gaza. two israeli soldiers were killed in the operation to recover them. a new draft resolution is expected to be published soon at the un climate summit, after the backlash against plans which made no mention of phasing out fossil fuels. now time to go to the sport. so it's last chance saloon for manchester united. they simply have to beat bayern munich tonight or they are out of the champions league. even then a win over the german champions might not be enough. so much at stake for erik ten hag's squad in a season littered with inconsistency. patrick geary has more. eight is built, miserable day for manchester united. flat

arsenal kick off in around 15 minutes time, with qualification already assured. mikel arteta rotating as expected against psv in the netherlands. aaron ramsdale will make his champions league debut in goal, there's a rare start for cedric. mohamed elneny and jorginho both start, while eddie nketiah gets his chance to lead the line. lens have an outside chance of overtaking psv, they face sevilla in that group. real madrid top groupc but braga could sneak in at the expense of napoli — if they can score a big win against their opponents later. inter and real sociedad are both through in group d. the turkish fa has suspended all leagues in the country indefinitely, following an incident in a top flight game, where a referee was punched to the ground by a club president on monday. referee halil umut meler was struck by faruk koja, the president of super lig side ankaragudu, who ran onto the pitch after his side conceded a 97th minute equaliser against chaykur rizespor. koca and two others were formally arrested for "injuring

a public official". doctors confirmed he'd suffered a fractured eye socket. meler was called in his hospital bed by the turkish president on tuesday. that's all your support for now. there are just hours to go until rishi sunak faces a knife edge vote in parliament, on his flagship bill which is designed to send some migrants who arrive to the uk in small boats, to rwanda. there could be a revolt among his own mps — some of whom feel it doesn't go far enough, while others are concerned it could violate international law. live now to shadow secretary for science, innovation and technology, peter kyle. sir keir starmer delivered a speech today. first of all, what is your party's alternative? i understand you will not be voting with the

government this evening, is that correct? ., �* , government this evening, is that correct? . �*, . . .,�* correct? that's correct. we don't think the correct? that's correct. we don't thinkthe bill— correct? that's correct. we don't think the bill works, _ correct? that's correct. we don't think the bill works, it _ correct? that's correct. we don't think the bill works, it is - correct? that's correct. we don't think the bill works, it is a - think the bill works, it is a gimmick. this is the third bill designed to send people to rwanda and we have spent over £200 million and we have spent over £200 million and only people that have gone there are conservative home secretary is not anyone else. it's a gimmick that is not working. you talked about all these different dynamics about all those dynamics and arguments are within the conservative party so what keir starmer was doing was setting out a decade of national renewal based on five positions of government. that is a platform that solves many of the problems we face from no growth into the economy through to fixing our public services and getting a grip on asylum and immigration as well. our plan is straightforward. it is to set up a task force in the national crime agency to pass those communal gangs traffic people. we will end the backlog at the moment because last year, of all the people who

arrived on our shores from across the channel, only 1% have had their asylum claims processed and we will work one more alternative arrangements. this is the plan that will do all the work rather than the running and gimmicks that is bringing this government to the edge. let bringing this government to the ed . e. , bringing this government to the edae. , ., , edge. let me put to use the conservative _ edge. let me put to use the conservative response - edge. let me put to use the conservative response to i edge. let me put to use the i conservative response to that. edge. let me put to use the - conservative response to that. we've heard from richard holden who says, once again sir keir starmer shows he's only interested in short—term political positioning, not taking long—term decisions in the national interest and crucially one of the things the government has been saying about some of your plans is that they don't cost, they don't add up that they don't cost, they don't add up financially and that you haven't got the money to do all of this. all got the money to do all of this. all of our got the money to do all of this. fill of our plans are fully costed and fully funded. we will use the money the government has allocated to the feeling rwanda scheme in order to set up the task force to tackle the criminal gangs but lets look at their record, because they have said

many of these things. they have been in government for the last 13 years and in those 30 years, the number of prosecutions of criminal gangs who are trafficking people has fallen 30%. the number of asylum seekers returned to their home countries has fallen 50% so their record is one of failure and actually, when it comes to the things that matter, the numbers are going in the wrong direction. yes, we have a plan, it is a serious, sensible, credible, implementable plan and we have the people and the prime minister in waiting, keir starmer, ready to deliver it for the british people. can i ask you about something else your leader said today when he delivered that speech. he didn't rule out sending asylum seekers to a third country. i'll read the quote here. he said there are various schemes as you know around the world where individuals are processed, usually en route to their country of destination elsewhere. so are you

open to that idea it's just that it's not rwanda that is the country of choice? ., ., , , of choice? no, what is being interpreted _ of choice? no, what is being interpreted into _ of choice? no, what is being interpreted into what - of choice? no, what is being interpreted into what he - of choice? no, what is being| interpreted into what he said actually is conflating two separate things. we will not do a rwanda scheme but what we will do is seek to do deals with country so we can return migrants to other countries. there are circumstances where we saw that with hong kong and afghanistan where we will accept in certain specific situations, we will accept a certain number of migrants to come here but those are specific and limited circumstances but don't conflate that with what the government are currently doing with their gimmick policy. lise government are currently doing with their gimmick policy.— their gimmick policy. use the web miurants their gimmick policy. use the web migrants but _ their gimmick policy. use the web migrants but in _ their gimmick policy. use the web migrants but in a _ their gimmick policy. use the web migrants but in a lot _ their gimmick policy. use the web migrants but in a lot of— their gimmick policy. use the web migrants but in a lot of cases - their gimmick policy. use the web | migrants but in a lot of cases these are people genuinely seeking asylum. 0f are people genuinely seeking asylum. of course. with the hong kong scheme and with the afghanistan scheme, they would deal specifically done

for people claiming asylum. but what we are trying to do is make sure we get a grip over all on migration. there are lots of different types of migration, there is asylum seeking and also people who come here legally with visas to work but overall, because of our broken public services, there are 7.5 million waiting for treatment on the nhs, there are 2 million who didn't return after covid, there are young people are not in education, training or work. that means british people are not fully exploiting their potential in the workplace. employers cannot count on them so they are seeking labour from abroad and on top of that, we have the sun challenge with people crossing the english channel. all of these challenges have been created by a feeling conservative government that is so busy fighting a selfie cannot solve the problems facing our country —— failing conservative

shields. that has just come palestinian civilians as human shields. that hasjust come into palestinian civilians as human shields. that has just come into us from a joint statement from australia, canada and new zealand. some other developments as well, it seems to be a busy afternoon in terms of that. us presidentjoe biden is saying israel is starting to lose support from the international community with what it describes as indiscriminate running of gaza that has killed thousands of palestinian civilians. the quote was given at a campaign fundraising eventin given at a campaign fundraising event in washington, dc. president biden also said israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu needs to change his government. those developments coming into us. and another quote from joe biden that hasjust come in, saying the israeli government does not want a two state solution. lots of different developments there as the conflict

in gaza continues. we will try and speak to our correspondence in the region shortly but for now we will go back to the rest of the day's news. an asylum seeker has died on board the bibby stockholm barge in dorset. the vessel, which is moored off portland on the south coast, was adapted to house people awaiting the outcome of their asylum applications. campaigners say it is a human tragedy for which the government must take responsibility. here's our news correspondent danjohnson near the barge. it's not possible to get very close to the bibi stockholm because it's in the secure part of the harbour here in portland. this is the best view that we can get. there doesn't seem to be any particular extra activity around the barge, just a handful of people coming and going. but we know the police are investigating the circumstances around this sudden death, which was reported in one of the cabins here at around 6:00 this morning. and the home secretary has referred to it in the house of commons, saying that the circumstances will be looked into. but he couldn't give any particular detail at this stage.

this was the sort of thing that people had been warning about, the impact that living on something like that could have for the men who are contained there. now, it's not a prison. they are allowed off. there are buses that take them into weymouth. there are activities on board. i was shown around and shown the gym, the tv room, the canteen and there are activities that are provided on board. but still organisations had concerns about the welfare, the mental health of the men who are living on board there, because it is described even by the home office as basic functional accommodation. they wanted it to be uninviting to try to stop asylum seekers coming here in the first place. it's supposed to be cheaper and less luxurious than the hotels they would otherwise have been staying in. so there were concerns and there will now be questions about whether this barge is safe, whether the 400 or 500 men who are on there now can actually live there safely or not in future. we have had some messages from one of the asylum seekers who is on board.

he's told us today the food here is so bad that people can't eat it. he says, we haven't been eating it and we had a protest asking for a change of chef and menu. and we had heard concerns already that one of the chefs had left and that that had made the food here worse than it had been before. he also describes other asylum seekers who were having issues raising concerns with staff members and not particularly being taken seriously by the staff or by the management that will all form now part of the investigation that will go on here. but no doubt there will be further questions about whether this barge and the policy it represents are a safe and appropriate way forward for dealing with asylum seekers. danjohnson dan johnson there. another development danjohnson there. another development coming in from dubai where the cop 28 climate summit is continuing. we are hearing that the

cop president says he is determined to deliver a deal text which has the support of all parties at the climate summit in dubai. and that those consultations will continue into the early hours of wednesday. this is coming in a statementjust released from a cop 28 spokesperson. it says, overnight and throughout today, the cop 28 president and his team have been engaging in extensive consultations with a wide representation of negotiating groups and parties. this is to ensure everyone is heard and all views are considered. he is determined, you can see him there in those pictures, to deliver a version of the text which has the support of all parties. they will be working through the night at the cop summit, as they try their very best to come to an agreement. we will have more on those developments as we get them, butjust another developing

them, but just another developing line them, butjust another developing line from the cop summit is that the us climate envoyjohn kerry has said the next draft of the cop 28 summit deal text would contain stronger language in the future of fossil fuels. remember, that was a sticking point with some countries, including some of the oil producers effectively watering down some of the language when it comes to fossil fuels, but we are hearing from john kerry, us climate envoy, former us secretary of state, saying that the language will now be stronger. the bbc�*s environment correspondent is in dubai where delegates are waiting for the fresh text. i've had a great deal of expectation that it was going to clarify the position on fossil fuels and was going to show essentially that they were going to be phased out at some stage this century with the more developing countries going slower and the richer countries going quicker. that was not the case. there was a great deal, i suppose,

of shock around the conference here and parties have been quickly getting on with the text now putting new text into the presidency to see if they can come up with a better draught and from their perspective, a more improved draught, which they're expecting to release later today. they're under a bit of time pressure here. there's a big new conference coming in at the end of the week and delegates, some of them will have to leave soon as well. so there's a lot of pressure to get a new a new draught out that would contain some more progressive elements as people would see it here and maybe perhaps some grounds for a compromise and agreement. and matt, tell me what the mood is at the conference at the moment. is there optimism that a deal will be struck? i wouldn't call it optimism. i think there's hope that something will be agreed. there is a very strong feeling amongst countries like the european union and small island states who are very angry about the lack of reference to the phase out of fossil fuels yesterday. and they were talking about walking out at one stage if there weren't more solid figures put into the agreement. now we will have to wait and see what they make of the new draught if it comes out later on today.

but there are certainly very strong feelings that it has to be an improvement on what happened yesterday. now, as you say, other countries, other oil producing countries are probably quite happy with what came out yesterday. there's a lot of countries in the middle, though, african countries, poorer countries in asia and south america who are looking at this very cautiously. they're not totally signed up to the idea of phasing out fossil fuels because they think, where is the money for us? how are we going to fund our transition to greener economies if we don't have some money in the meantime? so i think questions about finance, as ever in this process will be very important and helping countries to adapt to the impacts of climate change. that's another big question. i think all of those need to be resolved if they want to have a final strong agreement here. and a couple of years ago i remember china and india holding out on some of the issues around coal as well. it does beg the question, what exactly can cop achieve? because it seems like every year now there are different countries holding out and not everyone is on the same page because there are so many balancing interests.

absolutely. it's a complex mosaic. 200 countries trying to solve the common problem at different speeds. almost every one of them. i would say that there has been a lot of progress made in recent years. undoubtedly, you know, eight years ago to the day they signed the paris agreement, it mentioned emissions. it didn't mention fossil fuels. here we are discussing debating perhaps the end of fossil fuels in some countries in the next couple of decades. that's big progress. matt, what do you think the role of oil producing nations has been given that it's been hosted in dubai in the first place? indeed. i think there's been a lot of scepticism about the hoax here, and they've tried to assuage that scepticism by showing that they're very committed to helping countries to cope with the impacts of climate change and to push for high ambition in this particular agreement that they're trying to get here. how successful that will be at the moment, that's looking in doubt because the pushback that's been from the major fossil fuel producers, saudi arabia, kuwait, iraq and others has essentially at the moment won the day.

but there's still time to go. there's still a new draught of text to be published. and we will see in when that comes out, just where the parties sit and how it sits on the future of those fossil fuels. some developing news from london and thatis some developing news from london and that is serial killer lucy letby has been stripped of her nursing credentials after a panel ruled she should be struck off the registrar. the 33—year—old was sentenced in august to 1a whole life orders after being convicted of murdering seven babies and trying to murder six others with two attempts on one victim. police forces in both norfolk and suffolk say they have received the letters from campaigners which call for an investigation into deaths of patients with mental health issues. a report by independent auditors found as many as 8,440 patients had died unexpectedly over three years.

the nhs trust says it's started a review of patient deaths. sophie hutchinson reports. for many years, there's been deep concern about the safety of mental health services across norfolk and suffolk. now, there are calls for the police to investigate why patients are dying. everything that they didn't do exacerbated his state. 21—year—old student theo brennan—hulme suffered from bouts of severe anxiety. his mother told me that the plan when he was in crisis was to call her, but the mental health services failed to do that and days after a short emergency appointment, he was found having taken his life in his university bedroom. the coroner at theo's inquest issued what's as a prevention of future death report, or pfd, highlighting concerns about the mental health services

and warning of a risk that future deaths could occur if action wasn't taken. the lack of training, the lack of staffing, the lack of care was known about. i know there were previous pfds before theo that suggested things needed to improve. but they couldn't have got any worse for theo, and that's abhorrent to the memory of all the people who went before him. a group of bereaved families, staff at the trust and patients has now asked police to investigate deaths where coroners have repeatedly flagged up risks, such as delays in treatment, lack of patient follow—ups and chaotic record—keeping. we think there's a criminal case to answer and we want the police to investigate. so we're asking them to look at all the deaths, but particularly the deaths that have occurred when the coroner has issued a prevention of future deaths certificate,

or notice, and where the same mistakes have been repeated time and time again. serious questions remain about the deaths of mental health patients here. just six months ago, independent auditors came to the conclusion that the norfolk and suffolk trust had simply lost track of those who'd died. in its report, it found that over the course of three years, more than 8,000 patients had died unexpectedly. it's very toxic within the trust. there are undertones of bullying and if you raise concerns about patient safety or even staff safety, you're not listened to. charlie, not his real name, is a nurse at the trust. he told me about severe staff shortages, that a youth team had lost eight members of staff in a month, and that one of the crisis teams was so short—staffed it no longer functioned at night. from your experience, do you think any of the deaths that you've been aware

of have been preventable? i think a significant proportion of those deaths have been preventable. i think very simple measures could have been put into place to avoid these people dying. the trust has offered its severe condolences to families of people affected. it said "it's working hard to learn from these incidents, to change the culture and is reviewing all the prevention of future deaths reports". sophie hutchinson, bbc news, norfolk. viewers in the uk can see details of organisations offering information and support with mental health, or feelings of despair, on bbc.co.uk/actionline. that's it for the moment. do stay with us here as we will be following that debate in the uk houses of parliament on the rwanda policy. good evening. we've had no shortage of wet weather over the last few days, but things do lookjust a little bit

drier over the next few days as this area of low pressure begins to journey away from our shores, moving eastwards out into continental europe. still close enough, though, in the short term to drive some persistent rain across parts of south east scotland, north east england, quite windy here as well through the evening and overnight. could be enough rain for some localised flooding. a bit of snow mixing in, you'll notice over high ground there in scotland. generally through the night, england and wales will keep a lot of cloud and some showery rain. but for northern ireland and a good part of scotland, the skies will clear and for some there will be a touch of frost, particularly in northern scotland. we could see lows of minus three in the highlands, milderfurther south where we keep more cloud but into tomorrow, as our area of low pressure journeys eastwards, we'll be left on the back edge of that low, with more of a northeasterly wind bringing a colder feel. certainly nothing exceptional for this point in december, but a slightly chillier day. a lot of cloud and some showery rain for central and eastern parts of england, western england, wales seeing some sunshine and northern ireland and scotland actually should have a mostly dry and mostly sunny day, but quite a cold one in place

four degrees there in aberdeen, nine in cardiff. we could get to ten in the south west of england and the channel islands. now, in this slice of clear sky here, we will see some quite cold conditions developing for a time on wednesday night into thursday. but then this band of rain moves its way in from the west and behind it we get into westerly winds, really quite strong winds actually in the north of scotland, a few showers, but a lot of dry weather and things begin to turn just a little bit milder. now, as we get into friday, i think these mild south—westerly winds will start to deliver quite a lot of mist and murk and low cloud, some bits and pieces of showery rain, particularly in the northwest of scotland. best of the sunshine towards the southeast of england. still a little bit chilly in eastern areas, but milder out towards the west. that's a sign of things to come into the weekend. split weather fortunes. this area of high pressure builds strongly across the south. further north, frontal systems bringing a bit of rain into the north of scotland, particularly strong winds, but mild winds, those winds coming from the south or the southwest. so that is going to bring a mild

feel to proceedings over the weekend, most places into double digits, but it will be rather cloudy with some rain in the north of the uk.

today at 6pm... on a knife edge — mps are about to vote on the prime minister's crucial rwanda plan for asylum seekers. good evening from the houses of parliament where your mp along with hundreds of others will be invited to vote on the rwanda plan but also the prime minister's authority. that vote coming up in the next hour or so. also on the programme... morgan smith is named as one of the teenagers in a crash in south wales

that died on the way home from a funeral. 20 homes evacuated on the isle of wight after the biggest landslip for decades. and the president of a turkish football club arrested after doing this to a referee. and coming up on bbc news... manchester united can call on some good memories of games past against bayern munich. now they'll need another if they're to make the champions league last 16. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. it has been a long and difficult day for the prime minister, who has been trying to persuade his mps to back the government's rwanda plan. in the next hour, at 7pm, mps will begin voting on his controversial new plan to send some people who arrive in the uk in small boats to east africa where they can claim asylum.
