children, she said, have added vulnerabilities. x has traits of autism, why is on the autism spectrum, to, and are selectively mute and hasn't spoken since he was arrested in february last year. now, she says that in the interest of the public, the public interest will remain in place, and are such that they do need to be named. they are convicted killers. so, in highbury second next year, when they are sentenced for their crimes, which will be a life sentence, but we do not know how many years that will be involved, we will be able to tell you who they are. but not yet. connect, thank you very much. lets talk more about what is happening inside gaza at the moment, and in israel and egypt, as well. there are many developments to bring you. negotiations are continuing to take place over new york over the un resolution calling for a new gaza truce and the release of israeli hostages. the desperate plea from aid agencies again today and from

the un that they need to try to get more supplies into gaza because the humanitarian situation is dire. live now to abdelbassir hassan, our reporter from bbc arabic in rafah. very good to see you. what is happening in rafah today, our eight tracks getting on? you happening in rafah today, our eight tracks getting on?— happening in rafah today, our eight tracks getting on? you might see one ofthe tracks getting on? you might see one of the trucks — tracks getting on? you might see one of the trucks is _ tracks getting on? you might see one of the trucks is coming _ tracks getting on? you might see one of the trucks is coming empty - tracks getting on? you might see one of the trucks is coming empty now . of the trucks is coming empty now from the palestinian side. this track is empty, which means it has already been to the gaza strip. it comes through those gates. that eight is the gate of the egyptian crossing to the gaza strip, which is almost like 500 metres away. the palestinian gate. those empty trucks are coming from here, from this gate. well they are loaded, they go from that black iron gate to the

right, where they go to the crossing, about five kilometres from here, oranother crossing, about five kilometres from here, or another crossing about 50 kilometres from here. what you are seeing now is the egyptian ambulances waiting for any injured or wounded palestinians coming from the gaza site. we have heard today that almost 20 wounded palestinians have come in from the egyptian gate to egyptian hospitals, and more foreign passport holders came to the egyptian side. yesterday more than 170 trucks have entered gaza from both this gate, the ion gate, and directly to gaza, and from another crossing. we have heard today that summer has been hit, but we do not know the damage, one of the crossings. we have learnt that close

to here, rafah, one kilometre from here, has been hit today as well, but we do not know exactly what are the casualties. anyway, this is the situation now at the crossing. the tracks which were here for days —— the trucks. this road, around one hour from the trucks. this road, around one hourfrom now, to the the trucks. this road, around one hour from now, to the closest airport where we have seen hundreds of trucks being cute before the other gate, just 500 metres from here, before they are allowed to be checked, to make their way through to rafah. 0ne checked, to make their way through to rafah. one of them is already loaded and ready to enter gaza. 0f loaded and ready to enter gaza. of course, the trucks include not only aid assistance, but also fuel and very recently we have heard that commercial goods entered gaza, as

until israel ends its bombardment? indeed, the top leader of hamas has arrived to cairo, but i think this visit came after top talks between the qataris, the americans, the israelis. i think top leaders met in different european cities to prepare for this negotiations. the negotiations are aiming for prisoner swaps. hamas is offering two options. 0ne swaps. hamas is offering two options. one is to release a women of the israeli military. in return, they would like to see some palestinian leaders released from israeli jails, they are demanding for at least 1a days of ceasefire. it seems the israelis have rejected this offer. now the talks in cairo... may be the americans and

the israelis and qataris will try again to resume talks to reach a prisoner swap deal. we again to resume talks to reach a prisoner swap deal.— again to resume talks to reach a prisoner swap deal. we did also hear that hamas — prisoner swap deal. we did also hear that hamas were _ prisoner swap deal. we did also hear that hamas were saying _ prisoner swap deal. we did also hear that hamas were saying they - prisoner swap deal. we did also hear that hamas were saying they wanted j that hamas were saying they wanted some kind of permanent ceasefire to be put in place before they released any hostages, so there is some differences there on what exactly it is that hamas is saying. but that is completely unlikely, that israel is going to agree to that. if we can just look at the talks in cairo, that leaves those particular discussions, then we will talk about the un any moment. sorry, i was going to ask two one. i the un any moment. sorry, i was going to ask two one.— going to ask two one. i think the talks will be _ going to ask two one. i think the talks will be tough, _ going to ask two one. i think the talks will be tough, i _ going to ask two one. i think the talks will be tough, i think - going to ask two one. i think the talks will be tough, i think the l talks will be tough, i think the mediators, mainly qatar and egypt, expect— mediators, mainly qatar and egypt, expect that these talks, this round of negotiations will be very tough. you will— of negotiations will be very tough. you will see a lot of grandstanding on the _ you will see a lot of grandstanding on the part— you will see a lot of grandstanding on the part of hamas and also on the part of— on the part of hamas and also on the part of israel. we have to keep in mind _

on a beach south of calais. french police on patrol. a beefed up force looking to block small boats with migrants from setting off across the channel. so here's the inflatable. we're told its just been abandoned. in fact, you can see here where the police have already slashed it to make sure that the migrants andrew harding reports from calais. in fact, you can see here where the police have already slashed it to make sure that the migrants can't use it again. we're told about 50 people were trying to get into the water just a few yards away. these are the inner tubes that they were going to use instead of life jackets. extraordinary to think. 50 people cramming inside this flimsy thing. to try and get across to england. nearby, just before dawn, we find two families who failed to cross tonight huddled at a bus stop. the boat was broken and not going. the water was up. the waves get bigger. so you had to come back? yeah. this is 17—year—old faiza from iraq.

i have no place to go. very sad? very sad, we have no chance. what will happen to you? i have no idea. just sitting, unsure how my life is. bad, bad, bad. you've got one of the waiting areas over behind. daytime, up the coast in calais. french police talk tactics with their british counterparts, a sign of growing cooperation. britain is now providing france almost half a billion pounds for equipment like drones and to double the manpower to tackle the smugglers. so, is it making a difference? the results speak for themselves, says mathilde patel from the french border police. this year, the number of crossings has dropped by 35%. we have seen significant improvements in prevention

of small boat launches. we've seen a reduction in the number of arriving individuals this year in this way. and overall, we are continuing to see the fruits of our labour and of our investment as these additional resources come on board throughout the next year. it is a big drop and yet in a muddy clearing near calais, the crowds keep coming — from afghanistan, from sudan, ready to risk death in the channel and ignoring warnings that britain may send them to rwanda. it worries you, but it's not stopping you? not stopping us. still trying to go to uk but hope they don't send us to rwanda. suddenly, a rush to leave as the smugglers usher one group away for another attempted crossing tonight. if they can sneak past the extra french police here and cross a dangerous stretch of water, england awaits, tantalizingly close.

andrew harding, bbc news in northern france. a group of mps has called on the premier league and other sporting bodies to cut what it calls the �*bombardment�* of gambling advertisments in stadiums. francis read reports. from day one of the premier league season, it's on the shirts and in the stadiums. those watching see thousands of gambling ads across multiple games. mps say the bombardment, particularly for kids, is too much. and while gambling sponsorship on the front of premier league shirts will eventually go, the cross—party culture, media and sport committee says it won't be enough. mps have recommended a new gambling sponsorship code of conduct to be developed by the government and with sports governing bodies, and that a high proportion of ads should promote safer gambling. the report also supported extra online protection for young adults and for the introduction of a levy

to be paid by gambling operators to fund addiction prevention and treatment. children are obviously, you know, go to football matches with their parents. it's a sort of standard family, wonderful outing. but there, there is a lot of exposure to gambling advertising. it's on the front of shirts, it's on the side of shirts, it's in the stadium in terms of the banners. it's also on the various sort of leaflets that are handed around. and what that does, and we've seen through this report where it talks about 7,000 gambling messages across six football matches, that means that children see gambling is normalised. the betting and gaming council said that a sports sponsorship code should be published without delay to drive up standards and that rules already ensure advertising is responsible. the government said that proposed new measures would also deliver greater protections. but some charities have said it doesn't touch the sides and that gambling ads should be removed from sports like football entirely. francis read, bbc news.

javier milei, signed a decree outlining 300 reforms to deregulate the economy. state firms are to be privatised and industries liberalised. 0ur latin america regional editor, mimi swarbee, has been following developments. there was a social explosion of anger which filled the streets of the capital, buenos aires, led byjobless people, or those who have been really hard hit by the economic crisis which argentina has been grappling with for decades. inflation has hit 160%, which has left more than 40% of the population in poverty, and it is those people who are suffering and expect to suffer more with these economic shock therapy measures that have been announced who have been leading the protests. but it wasn't just them, there were thousands all marching towards congress late into the night. and 1am at local time, you could still see snakes of lines of people all heading towards the plaza, making sure their voice was heard. 0nly last week, javier milei devalued the argentine peso, the national currency, by more than half, by 54%, as well as sharply reducing fuel and transport subsidies. this is all in a bid to really combat spiking inflation in this economic crisis

crippling the country. but it hasn't gone down well with all people. he was largely supported, like you said, by the imf, who were hoping that these radical policies will help bring argentina back on track, but they are also hoping that it will help kind of stabilise the economy internally. the situation will get worse before it gets better, milei has repeatedly emphasised this, saying that nothing else will help argentinians at the moment, they need this huge shock, this mass alterations with these radical and extreme policies, which i've seen today being outlined, this 300 measures announcement. we're all familiar with the idea of a prison being guarded by ferocious dogs, but inmates in brazil are being kept in line by a different animal. the so—called "geese agents" patrol a space between the prison's inside fence and main outer wall — and will honk if they spot anyone trying to escape.

on high ground in scotland, notjust in the highlands but also the northern isles. a weather front pushes northwards, taking its rain with it. so still cold in the far north—east. could be some ice around as well to watch out for the first thing. this is the weather front which is producing all the rain. tomorrow you can see from the isobars it's going to be windy, just not as windy as today. that mild air is trying to push up in through scotland, but not succeeding into the far north—east. we start off with a fair bit of cloud and rain around. some of that, giving way to some brighter skies as we go through the course of the day, and these are our temperatures. one in lerwick, five in aberdeen, but ten in glasgow, the warmer air getting in here. 11 and 12s as we push further south across england, wales and northern ireland. 0vernight friday into to saturday, we will have some transient snow clearing during saturday with a lot of rain piling into the north and west. come further south and it will be drier. bits and pieces of cloud around and some showers. again, milder.

and as we head up towards christmas, for christmas day itself, we could well see some rain in the south, some wintry showers in the hills in the north and cooler.
