fully functional government for two years and this fallout over brexit, what is happening there today and what is happening there today and what hopes could be restored now? well, the main political parties at stormont, those who would take part in a regional government, if it was to be restored, will be taking part in these discussions, which will mainly be focused on the funding of northern ireland. but the backdrop to all of this is the ongoing political crisis, which has meant that this part of the uk has been without a devolved government for almost two years, now. the basis of government here really comes out of the settlements that ended the long conflict here in the 1990s. there is a power—sharing arrangement. for a government to be formed at all, it has to be composed of unionists who basically want northern ireland to remain in the uk and irish

nationalist parties who want northern ireland to leave the uk and join with the republic of ireland. the main unionist party, the democratic unionist party, the dup, have vetoed the formation of a power—sharing coalition in protest, as you say, against brexit trading arrangements, the trade barriers between northern ireland and great britain as being something which damages northern ireland's place in the uk. the british government has dangled an incentive in front of the dup and that is a financial package worth £2.5 billion. but that will only be released if the devolved government is restored. the dup have said they are in no hurry and they are still negotiating with the british government and the minister responsible for northern ireland, chris heaton—harris, over its other concerns related to brexit. whilst the british covenant would certainly want the devolved government, the stormont executive, to be restored this side of christmas and will be pushing for that, there is little sign of a breakthrough today.

however, the fact that the parties are around the table at hillsborough castle just outside belfast, are around the table at hillsborough castlejust outside belfast, which is where the northern ireland secretary is based, that is a sign that there is some movement towards that there is some movement towards that goal. that there is some movement towards that coal. ~ . that there is some movement towards that toal . ., ., , that there is some movement towards that coal. ~ . ., that goal. what impact has it had? the fact that _ that goal. what impact has it had? the fact that there _ that goal. what impact has it had? the fact that there hasn't - that goal. what impact has it had? the fact that there hasn't been - that goal. what impact has it had? i the fact that there hasn't been any devolved functioning government for the past two years? tt devolved functioning government for the past two years?— the past two years? if you speak to eo - le the past two years? if you speak to people who — the past two years? if you speak to people who work — the past two years? if you speak to people who work in _ the past two years? if you speak to people who work in public - the past two years? if you speak to | people who work in public services, they are the ones who will say they noticed it the most. basically, a lot of decisions have been piled up that haven't been made because there have been a minister is in place to make them. northern ireland has basically been run by government officials, by civil servants. basically been run by government officials, by civilservants. but because they officials, by civil servants. but because they are officials, by civilservants. but because they are unelected officials, they do not have the power to take major decisions on policy matters. the biggest issue at the moment is around the pay for people in public services. the likes of teachers, nurses, having taken part in a series of strikes because they say their pay has fallen well behind their counterparts in england, scotland, and wales. this

financial package, which the british government has offered, will include some money that will go towards public sector pay increases. the parties were at talks here earlier this week while some striking workers turned up to make their points known to the various politicians who were attending. the focus has been on budgets. it has been on the effect on public services in northern ireland and down to the fact that political instability in this part of the uk where there are still political divisions, still a legacy from that conflict which lasted 30 years, the 19605 conflict which lasted 30 years, the 1960s until the 1990s, and the fact that there is no regional government, that is not a good thing. the more political stability that can be had, the better. the democratic unionist party says it wants devolution to be restored but not at any cost. it wants a deal, it says, but it has to be the right deal. all the other parties, including the biggest party, the

irish nationalist party, sinn fein, say time is up in the dup need to makea say time is up in the dup need to make a decision now and that should be to allow the stormont executive to be restored. the stakes are certainly very high.— to be restored. the stakes are certainly very high. chris, you will kee us certainly very high. chris, you will keep us up-to-date _ certainly very high. chris, you will keep us up-to-date on _ certainly very high. chris, you will keep us up-to-date on any - certainly very high. chris, you will i keep us up-to-date on any develops keep us up—to—date on any develops delete active elements. thank you. —— on any developments. the uk economy shrank by more than expected in october, as higher interest rates squeezed consumers and bad weather swept the country. the economy fell by 0.3% on the month, after growth of 0.2% in september. household spending has been dented by rate rises as the bank of england tries to tackle inflation. it is due to make its next rate decision on thursday. meanwhile, retail and tourism were hit by severe weather in october as storm babet lashed the uk. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bringing you different stories from across the uk.— across the uk. breaking the law, these e-scooters _ across the uk. breaking the law, these e-scooters were _ across the uk. breaking the law, these e-scooters were filmed . across the uk. breaking the law, these e-scooters were filmed on i across the uk. breaking the law, - these e-scooters were filmed on the these e—scooters were filmed on the streets _ these e—scooters were filmed on the streets of— these e—scooters were filmed on the streets of lincoln in the last few days _ streets of lincoln in the last few days the — streets of lincoln in the last few days. the only place they can legally— days. the only place they can legally be ridden is on private land

as the new populist administration seeks to shore up the economy. right wing outsiderjavier milei was sworn in as the country's new president two days ago amid promises of economic austerity to rein in a growing financial crisis in the south american country. our reporter mimi swaby has more details. javier milei is trying to rebuild argentina, attacking these economic crises at the root, using economic shock therapy. and that is what he has promised and that is really what he's delivered. and this symbolic chainsaw that we saw him wielding around at his campaign rally is in full effect now. he really is slashing public spending and devaluing the peso by 54%. so a huge halving — more than half there. so 800 pesos is now equivalent to $1. and we heard in a televised announcement yesterday by the economy minister that this

is because this new government has inherited the worst legacy, economic legacy, argentina has ever faced. and these drastic measures are needed to try and stop hyperinflation and, in his words, stop a catastrophe. the imf called these moves bold, but it celebrated them, saying that it would help them get argentina back on this refinancing path that it was trying its best to stay on, but failing in many aspects. because argentina is the biggest debtor of the imf, it's accrued decades worth of debt, so billions of dollars. now, that has also meant that 40% of the population is in poverty. so, people will struggle initially, but hopefully these drastic economic measures will be the first step in the improvement of the situation in argentina. dozens of people have been injured in a wave of missile and drone strikes in ukraine overnight, according to authorities there. the mayor of kyiv, vitali klitschko, said 53 people were hurt including children. school and hospital buildings were reportedly damaged, while apartment blocks and cars set on fire after being hit by debris.

the ukrainian air force say it took down 10 targets over kyiv early this morning, whilst odesa saw a series of drone attacks. it comes as ukraine's president is in washington meeting president biden who's said his administration will continue to support kyiv in its fight against russia, even in the face of domestic political opposition in the us. volodymyr zelensky is there trying to save a $61 billion us defence package for kyiv. but his pleas for a quick approval of the aid package have gained little traction with republicans in congress. president biden says congress would be giving a christmas gift to russia if it fails to pass the measure. the pair appeared together at a news conference. history will judge harshly those who turned their back on freedom's cause. today, ukraine's freedom is on the line but if we don't stop putin, we endanger the freedom of everyone almost everywhere. putin will keep going and would—be aggressors everywhere would be

emboldened to try to take what they can by force. here's our north america correspondent nomia iqbal with more details. meeting president biden is the easy bit for president zelensky. both men are on exactly the same page when it comes to passing military aid for ukraine. both men have said if it doesn't happen, it would be gifting the russian president, vladimir putin. the difficult bit for president zelensky was earlier today. we were at the capitol where he met with all 100 senators, of course, including republicans. he also met with the speaker of the house, mikejohnson. we spoke to a few of those republicans afterwards and they said, look, they admired president zelensky, especially the fact that he'd come here in person, a wartime leader, to make that case to them. but they said that this was no ordinary political showdown that we often see in washington, they were genuine. they want security changes when it comes to us border security and that is something they're not going to budge on.

president biden has said that this package has to be passed before christmas. but the senate minority leader, republican mitch mcconnell, has said that the only way that can happen is if the democrats agree to what the republicans want. the chances of that happening are slim. therefore, the chances of this package being passed before the end of the year is very unlikely. to poland, where donald tusk returns to power as prime minister after being sworn in at a ceremony at the presidential palace. mr tusk said his coalition government, ranging from agrarian conservatives to the left, will play a constructive role in the eu, continue support for ukraine, and repair the rule of law to unblock access to more than 35 billion euros in eu funding. mr tusk was polish prime minister between 2007 and 2014 before he left to become president of the european council.

a major security breach took place in india's parliament. prime minister narendra modi was not in parliament at the time. reports say the two men intruded into the chamber, shouting slogans and spraying coloured gas. the suspects were later taken into police custody. world leaders are meeting in geneva to discuss how to respond to record numbers of refugees around the world. 114 million people have been driven from their homes, including around 40 million fleeing war and conflict. the un refugee agency hopes the meeting will come up with more sustainable support to help those affected. it's as the united nations high commissioner for refugees said many western politicians were becoming less, not more welcoming, in the face of the huge challenge.

apparently, bean ran away after being spooked by a pit bull. but, thankfully, he is now safe and has been reunited with his owners. that is quite the chase, isn't it! stay with us on bbc news. thanks for watching. sci—fi horror stranger things has become one of the most watched english—language series in netflix history. set in the 80s, it follows the supernatural events which take place in the small us town of hawkins, indiana. now it's been turned into a stage show, a prequel to the tv drama packed with stunts and light effects. our correspondent charlotte gallagher has been to meet the cast. from hawkins, indiana, to london's west end, the stranger things phenomenon continues. a new play, which explores the origins of one of the programme's super villains, opens this week. i didn't fit in with the other children.

something was wrong with me. the story revolves around henry creel — a strange child who becomes a monster. most people fear spiders. playing henry creel is really fun. what we've been exploring as a young person, young henry creel is in the tv show. it's like he's this psychotic killer and that's sometimes how he's told as the story, or shown to the audience. but there's this deeper side to him that we're exploring, that maybe it wasn't as plain as it seems. like, there's other factors, there's people around him. and henry's too smart for his own good and thinks too much. and just what's the recursions of that and how does that affect him in the world? and you're a new character, aren't you? you're. .. stranger things fans won't have seen you before. you'll be introduced in it. it's really exciting, yeah. i don't know how much i can say about her. i don't want to give too much away. but she is henry's love interest. and she... i would describe her as on a journey of self—discovery, a bit nerdy, a bit sassy, but again, struggling

with her own internal demons. the play is shrouded in secrecy, but the show is one of netflix's biggest hits. so, what's it likejoining the stranger things universe? it was just like confetti in my brain. it was just insane, man. getting the call is... it's one of the best things that's happened this year. it's just... it's mind blowing. yeah, it's mind blowing. it's crazy. see behind us, as well. it's like, "it's crazy." welcome to hawkins, indiana. this is the diner where some of the key scenes will take place. if you watch the series, you'll know it's full of 1980s nostalgia. this show is going to take you back to the 1950s. that almost 25—year difference means some of the familiar characters, like dr brenner, originally played by matthew modine, are looking a bit younger.

i obviously didn't want to do a sort of act of mimicry. - i don't think that that would have been really helpful for anyone, . if i was spending all my time i trying to emulate what he did. but i do think there _ are certain elements that he... where you just sort of think, "well, it would be stupid - "to just throw this out for the sake of throwing it out." _ he's created something so great. there are things, of course, that, you know, an actor- and so i've stolen things- from him and it's sort of like i'm wearing his watch or i'm - wearing his shoes and i hope... ..i act sort of in this play. i act in conversation with what he's done already, i think. _ taking stranger things from screen to stage has been a long process, but rehearsals are over and it's ready for its opening night. there are so many of the illusions that, like, even though i've seen it 100 times, i wrote it and then

i rewrote it and i rewrote it, and then i saw it in tech over and over again, it still surprises me every time. it's like...like magic. it's like a magic show every day. so, there's a tv programme and now a play. what next for stranger things? it's a world that people don't want to leave alone. and doing this project was... i've been on the show for so many years, but i felt like i could keep going. like, i felt like there are so many stories to tell in this universe that's like my favourite genre, that's like grounded sci—fi. so, i don't know. i mean, i do know, but i can't tell you. fans willjust have to wait and see. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. i wonder if it's as creepy as the tv programme. stay with us, we will be back live in dubai where the cop

summit is wrapping up in dubai where they have agreed a deal after days of negotiations. the deal calling on all countries to move away from using fossil fuels but not to phase them out, something that many governments do want. we will be back very shortly. thanks for watching. the weather started on a cloudy note but particularly in the west it will be chilly wherever you are. that will change. today, you can see all the blues indicating the cooler air around us and tomorrow is similar but as we head through friday into the weekend, the milder yellows and ambers return. temperatures will rise and it will be mild for the time of year. today, what we have got is this area of low pressure pushing south and east, taking this cloud and rain with it. aim ridge of

high pressure from the west, and it will settle down in the west and it will settle down in the west and it will brighten up quite nicely. more sunshine for scotland, northern ireland, northern england and wales and the south west. further east, we hang on to a bit more cloud, patchy light rain and drizzle. it will feel cold with the onshore breeze coming in from the north sea. the evening and overnight come at the low pressure continues to pull this cloud of patchy rain towards the south—east. some clear skies for a time. could be an early frost before two weather fronts arrive introducing rain and hill snow for a time across the hills of scotland and northern england. a cold night but with brisk wind coming from the west. in the west, it will be that bit milder. tomorrow, like today, all this cloud and patchy light rain pushes towards the south—east. it will brighten up from the west through the course of the day but on this brisk wind, we will see more showers coming in across western scotland and northern ireland with the temperature range 8—12 degrees.

beyond that, on friday, under clear skies to start the day, some patchy mist and fog but there will be some sunshine. you can see the thick cloud coming in across the north and west. a new weather front will introduce some rain and gusty winds still in the north and west but temperature is slowly starting to rise, once again. things change a bit on the weekend. we still have this ridge of high pressure but it is pulling away onto the near continent. we still have the rigging in the south, allowing weather fronts to come in from the north. generally, this weekend will be fairly cloudy, some rain across the northern half of the country where it will also be windy.

live from london — this is bbc news. it is so decided. an historic deal is agreed at the cop28 climate change summit — calling on all countries to move away from the use of fossil fuels for the first time. several key achievements in that deal but some nations in dubai say it still doesn't go far enough. after an overwhelming vote for a ceasefire at the united nations, president biden want israel or its tactics in gaza are you losing it international support. prime minister rishi sunak says of the rebellion in his own party about his

flagship immigration bill. hello, i'm samantha simmonds. a new climate deal has been approved by almost 200 countries at the un climate summit in dubai. the deal calls on all countries to move away from the use of fossil fuels. this is the first time there has been a clear reference to the future of all fossil fuels in a un climate summit text. but this deal doesn't include any wording on the "phase out of fossil fuels" — something many governments wanted. here is the moment the cop president announced the deal. i invite the cma to adopt the draft decision entitled: outcome of the first global stock—take contained in document fccc/ba/cma/2023/l.17. hearing no objection, it is so decided. applause
