hello, i'm nicky schiller. breaking news from iceland. there is a new volcanic eruption. a new volcanic eruption has begun near the fishing town of grindavik in the southwest of iceland. this was the same town that was evacuated last month after there was an eruption there. we are told that the lava which you can see spurting out of that new fissure is hundreds of metres away now from the town of grindavik. the people who wear there, about 90 homes, have been safely evacuated. the local authorities have declared an emergency in the area. with more on this let's speak to our reporter meghan 0wen who is following in the story. dramatic pictures as we can see. tell us how this unfolded.

incredibly dramatic pictures yet again. we can see glowing orange lava spewing out of that volcano north of grindavik and reportedly it even closer to the fishing village than the eruption back in september. as you mentioned, residents were evacuated in the early hours of the morning when there was an increase in seismic activity. local authorities have declared an emergency and a coastguard helicopter is also surveying the scenes. now this is not the first time, as you mentioned, residents have been evacuated. back in december we all remember those dramatic pictures of the eruption backin dramatic pictures of the eruption back in grindavik and the whole town was evacuated, in fact 4000 residents, and a popular tourist spot at the blue lagoon was also closed. now, in the time since, those residents have started to come back to their homes. 0nce

those residents have started to come back to their homes. once it was declared safe. but now, this has put a spanner in the works. it is the fifth eruption that scientists obscene in the reykjanes peninsula in the past three years. they had started to monitor the increase in seismic activities back in november and they are going to have to do continue to do that now so there is real concern. i mean, it was a shocking and surprising christmas for people living in the area back in december and this will be a pretty surprising start to the new year as well. pretty surprising start to the new year as well-— pretty surprising start to the new year as well. megan, let's go live to recce bit _ year as well. megan, let's go live to recce bit now. _ live now to reykjavik where we can speak to hallgrimur indredason, a journalist at iceland's public broadcaster, ruv. thank you very much forjoining us. just tell us the alert went out at 3am in the morning there? yes. 3am in the morning there? yes, that's true- _ 3am in the morning there? yes, that's true. seismic _ 3am in the morning there? yes, that's true. seismic activity - that's true. seismic activity started underneath grindavik so everybody was evacuated and since

the fortification that had been built, that they have been building in the last few weeks, to prevent lava from running, flowing to grindavik but since part of it is already inside the fortifications, and lava is flowing towards grindavik, that is a pretty serious situation. i5 grindavik, that is a pretty serious situation. , _, . ., grindavik, that is a pretty serious situation. , . ., . situation. is the concern now that that lava could _ situation. is the concern now that that lava could actually _ situation. is the concern now that that lava could actually enter - situation. is the concern now that that lava could actually enter intoj that lava could actually enter into grindavik, and go over houses basically, damage them? yeah, the aaeoloists, basically, damage them? yeah, the geologists. one _ basically, damage them? yeah, the geologists, one of— basically, damage them? yeah, the geologists, one of them _ basically, damage them? yeah, the geologists, one of them off - basically, damage them? yeah, the geologists, one of them off the - geologists, one of them off the icelandic meteorological office said this morning said the flow was towards grindavik and if it were to continue in the same speed as it currently is, which we don't know for sure, then it would reach the

embarked on an unprecedented bombing campaign in gaza. its goal, the complete destruction of hamas and its support structure. much of the territory from gaza city in the north to the south. it's been destroyed. hamas has been severely weakened, the number of civilians killed in gaza has been immense. more than 23,000 dead. according to the hamas health ministry. many of them women and children. more aid is now getting into gaza, but the un's humanitarian chief is describe the situation is intolerable. this man needs regular dialysis and his family has been forced to move south, home now plastic tent. translation:— translation: gaza has been destroyed- — translation: gaza has been destroyed. there _ translation: gaza has been destroyed. there is _ translation: gaza has been destroyed. there is no - translation: gaza has been destroyed. there is no gaza i translation: gaza has been i destroyed. there is no gaza left, translation: gaza has been - destroyed. there is no gaza left, no hospitals, no education, our children have lost their school

marks 100 days since the start of the conflict and, like you mentioned, it's a 24—hour rally. we have seen lots of speakers taking part last night, many of them former hostages who have been released and a number of them still have relatives inside gaza. they are asking for the immediate release of the hostages and they are asking for benjamin netanyahu specifically to make efforts in order to release them. many had doubts about the priorities of benjamin netanyahu, whether it's the deliberation and freeing of the hostages or has military goals. yesterday he spoke in a press conference and he vowed to go until the end like he said. he promised the israelis a complete victory against hamas, against the houthis and hezbollah. people here

are torn between their allegiances and their loyalty to the israeli army and its ability to free the hostages because, as we know, it has been 100 days now and the only release of prisoners that happened so far was through negotiations and not through the military campaign. you talk to people there. i'm interested in what the public mood is going forward and whether they can see a negotiated end to the conflict so that all those hostages can be released?— conflict so that all those hostages can be released? israeli society in reneral can be released? israeli society in general has _ can be released? israeli society in general has a _ can be released? israeli society in general has a great _ can be released? israeli society in general has a great confidence - can be released? israeli society in general has a great confidence in | general has a great confidence in its army and at the beginning of the conflict, they were more confident than now, 100 days on, that they could achieve this goal. now more and more voices within israel and within the rally yesterday were calling for a ceasefire and a start of negotiations. benjamin netanyahu

is under growing pressure because he didn't deliver so far the two main objectives of his war. the war in gaza. that is destroying the military infrastructure of hamas and freeing the hostages. none of these girls have been achieved because until now, hamas is still capable of firing rockets on israel and the military arm of hamas is posting daily videos of their attacks against israeli tanks, so now there is more growing demand for a negotiated agreement for the release of the hostages. {lilia negotiated agreement for the release of the hostages.— of the hostages. ok, thank you for “oininr us of the hostages. ok, thank you for joining us live _ of the hostages. ok, thank you for joining us live from _ of the hostages. ok, thank you for joining us live from jerusalem. - meanwhile, speaking in the last hour, the foreign secretary, lord cameron, has told the bbc that houthis are responsible for escalation and that their attacks on commercial vessels left the uk and its allies with little choice but to act. speaking to the bbc�*s sunday with laura kuenssberg he said military action was intended to send

a clear and unambiuoous message. there are two things it does. the first as it does degrade some of the houthis capacity to launch these missiles and drones. we will look at the assessment of that in the coming hours and days. but it also sends a very clear message that america and others, an alliance of countries backing this action, an alliance of countries including britain taking part in this action, but also including countries like the netherlands and canada and australia, are prepared to take action backing their words and i think that's very important. the foreian think that's very important. the foreign secretary, lord cameron. for more analysis on this story i wasjoined by middle east correspondent hugo bachega, who's in lebanon. it's 100 days it's100 days since the beginning of this conflict. there have been fears that what is happening in gaza could escalate into a wider regional conflict and here in lebanon the concern has been over the actions by

hezbollah, this powerful militia, political movement here in lebanon, supported by iran and there has been attacking israeli positions almost every day. there have been concerned this could escalate into a major confrontation between hezbollah and israel, but we have also seen what is happening in the red sea with the attacks being carried out by the houthis, also supported by iran, targeting shipping vessels in the red sea, so there has been a rise in violence across the region as a result of what is happening in gaza. and again, i spent weeks in israel following those attacks. and obviously, violence has also risen in the occupied west bank with raids by the israeli military, also violence by settlers against palestinian civilians and

palestinian civilians and palestinian communities. at the same time, you know, there has been a lot of frustration among the families of the hostages who remain in captivity in gaza. and who believe that the government hasn't, you know, made the release of the hostages a priority. we saw that massive protest yesterday in tel aviv, more than 120,000 people gathered to urge the government to do more for the release of these hostages. all the government to do more for the release of these hostages. al middle east correspondent _ release of these hostages. al middle east correspondent there. _ four people have died after a boat carrying migrants got into trouble after attempting to launch from a beach south of calais, according to reports in france. the incident happened near wimereux in the early hours of sunday morning. french paper la voix du nord said 72 people, including 10 children, were rescued and taken to calais while one person was taken to hospital in boulogne. here is the latest from our correspondent simonjones.

this happened at about one o'clock in the morning, around 70 migrants were trying to get on board a boat which was destined to try to get across the channel heading towards the uk. the boat was in pretty shallow water close to the beach at a place called wimereux, between calais and boulogne. but so many people were trying to get on board that the boat started sinking and scores of people were thrown into the water. now, because this happened close to the beach, pretty quickly the emergency services were on the scene. police officers in the fire service were able to start pulling people from the water but you can imagine the scene in pitch black. it was very cold, the sea temperature this time of year is only around 8 degrees and four people ended up losing their lives in the chaos and panic. 0ther people ended up losing their lives in the chaos and panic. other people who were brought to shore have been cared for in a rest centre which was set up by the emergency services. but this is the latest tragedy in the channel. we know that a lot of

people are attempting this crossing. last year, almost 30,000 people made the journey from last year, almost 30,000 people made thejourney from northern france across the worlds busiest shipping lane into uk waters and reached the uk. but even this morning, after this incident where four people lost their lives, other boats were attempting to make the crossing and we know that some boats have been brought to dover this morning. so even though it is bitterly cold, between northern france and the uk, this morning, those crossings have continued. the british government says it is determined to try to stop these boats, not least because it is such a dangerous journey with people losing their lives. the biggest tragedy was almost a couple of years ago when 27 people died in a single incident but another reminder of the risk people are taking and the fact they are risking their lives crossing the worlds busiest shipping lane in this way and no doubt the authorities on both sides of the

channel will say it reinforces their determination to try to make this route unviable.— route unviable. simon jones reporting- — the longest serving monarch in europe, queen margrethe of denmark, formally abdicates today after 52 years on the throne. her eldest son, frederik and his australian wife mary will be proclaimed as king and queen this afternoon. this is the scene live in copan hey done. you can see there outside the royal palace that there are people gathering ahead of this event —— copenhagen. unlike say for example what happened in britain, when king charles was correlated, there was a huge ceremony. the danish constitution means that there won't be a coronation ceremony. in fact, what will happen is the king will be proclaimed by the prime minister from the balcony of the royal palace. i want to bring in wine expert and founder of the crown

chronicles, victoria howard, who can talk to us about this. i want to start off with the fa ct fact that the queen once said it was a job for life but then there was at this sudden announcement in his new year's message that shocked the whole of denmark that she was going to abdicate. a couple of weeks on, what is the feeling now about the fact that she has done this? i think many people recognise that her health is declining. last year she had a back operation and although it seemed to go well, it's not the only thing that's been plaguing here in terms of her health. in recent years. and we've also seen the announcement in 2022 that she was actually removed from the titles of her grandchildren to her younger son. ed actually caused a bit of a stir. there were some family drama there but it to take the monarchy forwards and i think this is another sign of that. she realises she can't quite do thejob sign of that. she realises she can't quite do the job as well as she used to and actually frederik might do a

betterjob and is considered a bit more informal, a bit more popular than she has been, so i think it is a sign of modernising the danish monarchy. he a sign of modernising the danish monarch . , , . , ., monarchy. he is popular but i was seeinr monarchy. he is popular but i was seeing some _ monarchy. he is popular but i was seeing some opinion _ monarchy. he is popular but i was seeing some opinion polls - monarchy. he is popular but i was seeing some opinion polls are - monarchy. he is popular but i was i seeing some opinion polls are saying that the new queen, his wife, is even more popular than he is? yeah, and i think that's _ even more popular than he is? yeah, and i think that's something - even more popular than he is? yeah, and i think that's something we - and i think that's something we often see particularly when the male royal is the one taking on the role versus the female, a female marrying into the royal family. versus the female, a female marrying into the royalfamily. i think versus the female, a female marrying into the royal family. i think that comes with an element of glamour and the jewellery that they can access. queen margrethe has had one of the most beautiful royaljewellery collections across europe i would argue so i think that is one thing but also the fact that she came from australia. they met during the olympics 2000 and she had no idea who he was and it was a very organic relationship which developed. for many people, they see them as an informal couple. they cycle their children to school through the

centre of copenhagen and it's very much a sign of this new monarchy coming through in bodied in frederick and mary.- coming through in bodied in frederick and mary. coming through in bodied in frederick and ma . , . , frederick and mary. they have been com ared frederick and mary. they have been compared i — frederick and mary. they have been compared i know _ frederick and mary. they have been compared i know to _ frederick and mary. they have been compared i know to kate _ frederick and mary. they have been compared i know to kate and - frederick and mary. they have beenl compared i know to kate and william in the uk. it is something that a lot of the european royal families are having to do, looking to the next generation?— are having to do, looking to the next generation? absolutely. i think we do see some _ next generation? absolutely. i think we do see some comparisons - next generation? absolutely. i think we do see some comparisons here l we do see some comparisons here between not only william and catherine with frederick and mary, but also with charles and camilla. charles had been waiting for a very long time to take on his throne as king and it was something that he was committed to. he really, really wanted to take on this job and his claim for up to 70 years while his mother was on the throne. frederik had a similar upbringing in that he was sent off to private schools, a bit more distance from his parents, and he was less comfortable with that and we can draw the comparison with william. he has accepted this as his fate but not very keen on the

job but will do it with the support of his wife which is something frederik has referenced in the past. there isn't a big coronation service or anything. there isn't a big coronation service oranything. it's there isn't a big coronation service or anything. it's quite simple in the way they do it in denmark? absolutely. looking from the uk, many viewers might be a little bit underwhelmed by that. the uk is the only royal family in underwhelmed by that. the uk is the only royalfamily in europe underwhelmed by that. the uk is the only royal family in europe that still uses their crownjewels in coronations so for them to have just the proclamation on the balcony from the proclamation on the balcony from the prime minister is quite unusual but again, i think this is that step towards not being such an ostentatious monarchy as they have done for a number of decades and reinforcing that they can be part of society reflecting what's going on today without going over the top, with a coronation ceremony. do you think that the _ with a coronation ceremony. do you think that the new _ with a coronation ceremony. do you think that the new king _ with a coronation ceremony. do you think that the new king and - with a coronation ceremony. do you think that the new king and queen l think that the new king and queen will therefore be seen out in public a little bit more and doing lots

news is all of the residence of the town of recchi vic have been evacuated safely but that love is said to be now only a few hundred metres from the town. we will keep you posted on the latest here on bbc news. —— hello there. winter weather has well and truly arrived across the country and truly arrived across the country and it's going to stay with us for most of this week. in fact, yes, it will get colder and we have some snow showers mostly in the far north, but widespread sharp overnight frost. we have a series of weather fronts sinking south opening the door to this cold air to flow down all the way from the arctic. it's already arrived in scotland, gusts of wind 60—70 miles an hour, northern isles, blizzard conditions here, showers and sunny spells in

scotland and northern ireland. a weak weather francis across england and wales. there are going to be a fair amount and wales. there are going to be a fairamount of and wales. there are going to be a fair amount of cloud, chasing cloud around and maybe the odd spot or two of light and drizzly rain from it. here, not quite as cold. 5—7 and in the further north, 3—4 at the very best, but that front sinks south. the skies were clear to the night tonight, temperatures fall away. a few scattered showers to the irish sea and some snow showers accumulating in the far north of scotland. temperatures here could get as low as —7, so a cold start first thing tomorrow morning. but hopefully there will be some sunshine around as well. the wind direction are still coming from the north so any exposed coasts at risk of seeing a wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow across england but it will be snow in scotland and in fact, gusts of wind 20—40 mph. it will feel cold out there even if you got sunshine. your thermometers may

say a couple of degrees above freezing, but it will probably feel more like —2, up to minus six degrees in some areas. a bitterly cold day on monday. tuesday, we could see perhaps more enhanced snow from the subtle weather front pushing in from the far north—west. snow showers continuing into the north but a spell of more prolonged snow across central and southern scotland, a wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow into northern ireland and north—west england and anywhere south of that will be relatively dry and cold but that's where we will see some sunshine. top temperatures up see some sunshine. top temperatures up to 2—5. how long will the cold weather last? well wednesday we could see a few wintry showers around but towards next weekend it gets milder but wetter.

oil and's majority opinion. i would take you back to iceland for the most dramatic pictures we have been seeing in the last hour or so of the volcano that has erupted there. you can see the lava is spewing out of that feature. this rock tune happened in the town of grindavik and that is the same town that was evacuated last month when there was an explosion. the difference this time is this fissure in the ground is closer to the town and we are told. you can see this amazing image. where you can see that light in the centre of the picture there is what they were trying to build was a defence along that area so that they could protect the town of grindavik and a bit earlier. the lava has been moving closer and closer and you can see below that

light in the centre there is a vehicle. what the rescue team is trying to do was get those vehicles out and there have been dramatic images of them moving those vehicles as quickly as they could as they were building this defence to try and protect the town of grindavik and protect the town of grindavik and what we are hearing now is that lava which is moving quite quickly is nowjust lava which is moving quite quickly is now just a lava which is moving quite quickly is nowjust a few hundred metres away from the town. they are trying to hopefully protect the town so that it doesn't get there but there is a worry from the officials that it could reach the town. the good news is the alarm was at three o'clock local time and all the people who were staying in the town. there's about 90 homes that have beenin there's about 90 homes that have been in the area have been evacuated so that's good news on what they are now trying to do is protect the town from that lava but as i said, they had to move away from those defences that were being built. we will return to iceland as those images

develop and you can get more on the bbc news website and develop and you can get more on the bbc news website and app. now, the leader of the labour party, sir keir starmer has been speaking to the bbc in a wide—ranginginterview to mark the start of the 2024, a year in which we're expecting there to be a general election here in the uk. the prime minister has said it is likely to take place later this year. speaking to laura kuenssberg the leader of the opposition addressed questions about the war in the middle east and the latest strike on houthi rebels, but laura started by asking him about the breaking news this hour, the death of four migrants trying to cross the english channel from france. my my first reaction is a human reaction. this is a tragic loss of life and there will be family members and friends grieving at the awful way in which these four individuals lost their lives. i don't know the details and we don't need to know the details that you

at what's happening, those boats that are being used now are bigger than they were, they have been made to order they've been brought across europe to the north coast of france and then people are being put in those boats. it's a vile trade, it makes for the traffickers millions of pounds and i think we need to match those gangs.— of pounds and i think we need to match those gangs. which is similar to other governments _ match those gangs. which is similar to other governments as _ match those gangs. which is similar to other governments as well. - match those gangs. which is similar to other governments as well. but l to other governments as well. but that doesn't change much.- to other governments as well. but that doesn't change much. before i was a politician, _ that doesn't change much. before i was a politician, was _ that doesn't change much. before i was a politician, was the _ that doesn't change much. before i was a politician, was the chief - was a politician, was the chief prosecutor for five years of england and wales. we had to deal with terrorist plots. we had to do with those that were smuggling guns and drugs into our country. the way we dealt with that was to join with other countries where those gangs were operating and take them down using data, sharing intelligence, having joint operations. i have done this before and i'm convinced that it can be done in relation to these gangs. that's where i put my political muscle, if you like,

rather than a gimmick which is the rwanda scheme. i am absolutely up for this challenge, i know we have to get to grips with it. i went over to get to grips with it. i went over to europe and to talk to them about what sort of further agreement we can do with them. having seen this done for terrorist gangs and for drugs and guns, i refuse to accept that we cannot, somehow these gangs are untouchable and we can't do anything about it. let's talk about the military strikes taken by america and britain this week. you were briefed. _ america and britain this week. you were briefed, endorsed the attacks, david cameron was explicit that this might happen again. would you back more the strikes? brute might happen again. would you back more the strikes?— more the strikes? we will look at the case the _ more the strikes? we will look at the case the government - more the strikes? we will look at the case the government puts - the case the government puts forward. you are right, they did briefed me, a secure briefing in relation to this shortly before the operation and that as it should be. we support the actions that is being taken. 0bviously we support the actions that is being taken. obviously there needs to be a statement in parliament tomorrow and a debate in parliament about it, but

at the moment, what i have been briefed about is the operation that's taking place. i will have to listen carefully to whatever the government says about any further action that may be needed. theoretically he might do it again and that's clear. do you believe like the government does that iran bears some of the responsibility of these attacks? do you think iran is an enemy of our country? i these attacks? do you think iran is an enemy of our country?- an enemy of our country? i think that there _ an enemy of our country? i think that there are _ an enemy of our country? i think that there are clear _ an enemy of our country? i think that there are clear links - an enemy of our country? i think i that there are clear links obviously to iran, thus no issue on that. but i think it's important to look at what the houe fees are doing in the red sea because those attacks were ramping up an escalating and sitting back and doing nothing in the situation is not an appropriate way to respond and that's why i have backed the operation. but to respond and that's why i have backed the operation.— to respond and that's why i have backed the operation. but you have written strongly _ backed the operation. but you have written strongly in _ backed the operation. but you have written strongly in the _ backed the operation. but you have written strongly in the independentj written strongly in the independent on sunday about the threats of iran and do you think iran is in any other country? i and do you think iran is in any other country?— and do you think iran is in any other country? and do you think iran is in any othercount ? ., �* . ., . , other country? i don't want to ramp u . other country? i don't want to ramp

allow these attacks to happen, if they escalate, so be it. nobody thinks that so action had to be taken and i was pleased and briefed about it and we supported their action in the prime minster needs to make a statement. if there is to be further action and i don't know because i haven't been briefed on that, i would expect that briefing and expect the prime minister to make a statement and we would consider it on its merits.- make a statement and we would consider it on its merits. some of our consider it on its merits. some of your colleagues — consider it on its merits. some of your colleagues and _ consider it on its merits. some of your colleagues and other - consider it on its merits. some of. your colleagues and other opposition parties have said that parliament could have and should have been consulted as a matter of principle and someone, that you know rather well, used to also believe parliament should also be consulted in a matter of principle. i want to show you something. i in a matter of principle. i want to show you something.— in a matter of principle. i want to show you something. i would pass leuislation show you something. i would pass legislation that _ show you something. i would pass legislation that said _ show you something. i would pass legislation that said military - legislation that said military action could be taken if first the lawful case was made, secondly there was a viable objective and thirdly you have the consent of the commons. it was one of your own solemn promises to your party members that

change the party. four years ago, we were picking ourselves up, bruised from a terrible election result and most people, the pessimists in the party thought that the labour party will never ever win an election again. the optimists thought it would take us at least ten years. we have ruthlessly changed in our labour party, put ourselves in a part in a position where we incredibly content in the election this year and the overwhelming majority of labour party members and supporters are delighted because the reason that they joined supporters are delighted because the reason that theyjoined the labour party, the reason they are active in the labour party is because we want a labour government. bud the labour party is because we want a labour government.— a labour government. and a lot of our a labour government. and a lot of your colleagues — a labour government. and a lot of your colleagues would _ a labour government. and a lot of your colleagues would say - a labour government. and a lot of| your colleagues would say that you got to that position by being ruthless about ditching some of your own positions and one of the things of many labour members and many reviewers also care about is a ceasefire in gaza. we are 100 days

into the conflict between israel and gaza after those appalling attacks by hamas into israel. the israeli bombardment of gaza has been intense and has created enormous suffering and has created enormous suffering and we can see that every single day. is it time now you as labour leader to say enough, there must be a ceasefire. the us united nations has said it and frances added. the sheer has said it and frances added. iie: sheer number of has said it and frances added. "ii2 sheer number of deaths has said it and frances added. i“i2 sheer number of deaths in has said it and frances added. ii2 sheer number of deaths in the percentage of those in the proportion of those and children and women and the desperate need for a manager in need, that hostages are still being head or held effectively at gunpoint and this is intolerable and i think we need a sustainable ceasefire. the question is how do we get there. the first step is we need a truce, a humanitarian truce that allows space for a number of things to happen. firstly, few manager need

to happen. firstly, few manager need to getting in much greater quantities and value that it is at the moment. secondly, we have to have those hostages released. it is very difficult to see how you get to a sustainable ceasefire until that happens. that truth provides the space for the dialogue that's needed towards the political process which in the end is the only way through this for a two state solution. 50 this for a two state solution. so our viewers will hear that you're not going to put yourself in a similar position as emmanuel macron who says it is russia stop and have a ceasefire. who says it is russia stop and have a ceasefire-— a ceasefire. sustainable ceasefire. the question _ a ceasefire. sustainable ceasefire. the question is _ a ceasefire. sustainable ceasefire. the question is how _ a ceasefire. sustainable ceasefire. the question is how do _ a ceasefire. sustainable ceasefire. the question is how do we - a ceasefire. sustainable ceasefire. the question is how do we get i a ceasefire. sustainable ceasefire. i the question is how do we get there? i think a media truce, calling of the hostilities to create a space, humanitarian aid desperately needed and greater volumes coming into gaza to relieve the situation there, the release of hostages and then thought about those displaced in this conflict must be allowed to go home

and to rebuild there and can't be any question of israeli military occupation. that is the process, the road map if you like but i see towards a sustainable ceasefire. before we move on to matters at home, your party has been complaining about rishi sunak using private jets. complaining about rishi sunak using privatejets. we have complaining about rishi sunak using private jets. we have learned this week that you accepted a private jet flight from the qatari government. is that not a contradiction? let me explain that, i was a cop 28 in dubai, i was at a meeting with the emir of qatarand he dubai, i was at a meeting with the emir of qatar and he had to go back home, but desperately wanted that meeting with me. this was to discuss the hostage situation in gaza, the cessation of hostilities in gaza and offered to fly me to have that meeting with him, which we could no longer have in dubai where i was. why is not ok for the conservative to take private jets?

investment is one thing, we also need planning rules change because it takes far too long to do anything in this country. we need the national grid to move at a much faster pace because at the moment is giving connection dates to the 20 30s and that's never going to work. we need an industrial strategy. of course we need investment and that's and i am pleased to make the case for investment in the future. that's why we will invest £20 billion in total by the second half of the parliament, subject of course to what the government is already assigned to put in on the green prosperity and of course within our fiscal rules. i think that is straightforward but i do think this idea that it's only the money that counts is actually, it's not reflected in the conversations i am having with those that we want to partner with and for every pound the government puts then we want to trigger £3 of private investment because i think the government

into scotland and northern ireland. a weak weather front sits its way across england and wales and you can see there will be a fair amount of cloud around and the odd spot or two of light and drizzly rain from it but here it isn't as cold with 57 degrees but further north we are looking at three or four of the best. but the front six south and the sky will clear and then we will see a few scattered showers in the irish sea and a few snow showers and you'll see snow accumulating in the far north of scotland and its here is getting as low as —7. a cold start first thing to monday morning, but hopefully there will be sunshine around as well. wind direction as well coming from the north so any exposed coasts with a risk of seeing a wintry mix of rain and sleet but it will be snow into scotland and factoring gusts of wind widely with 20 or a0 mothers per hour and it really is going to feel raw out there even if you have sunshine.
