7:00 pm
hello, i'm samantha simmonds. welcome to the daily global, where we'll bring you the top stories from around the world. we start here in the uk. more problems for prime minister rishi sunak here in the uk, as two deputy chairmen of his conservative party resign over a vote on the government's plan to speed up the deportation of asylum seekers to rwanda. lee anderson and brendan clarke—smith say they've resigned in order to vote for amendments to toughen the legislation, but stressed in a letter posted on social media that they're still loyal to the government. dozens of tory mps rebelled against mr sunak and voted for one of the amendments, which would explicitly say the government is not bound by international human rights laws with regards to the rwanda plan, but it still failed to pass. —— two amendments. the second would remove the ability of asylum seekers
7:01 pm
to block the removal from the uk through legal claims. both still failed to pass. voting is still taking place in a somewhat empty or house of commons chamber. mps have backed clause four of the rwanda bill, which deals with individuals�* circumstances. 330 mps voted in favour, 55 mps against it. they also voted to reject robert jenrick�*s amendment. the they also voted to reject robert jenrick's amendment.— they also voted to reject robert jenrick's amendment. the ayes to the ri . ht, jenrick's amendment. the ayes to the riht, 68. jenrick's amendment. the ayes to the right. 68. the — jenrick's amendment. the ayes to the right, 68. the noes _ jenrick's amendment. the ayes to the right, 68. the noes to _ jenrick's amendment. the ayes to the right, 68. the noes to the _ jenrick's amendment. the ayes to the right, 68. the noes to the left, - right, 68. the noes to the left, 529 _ right, 68. the noes to the left, 529 so. — right, 68. the noes to the left, 529. so, the noes have it. unlock.

7:03 pm
parliament. it has always been controversial within the conservative party. there are those mps who feel it�*s going slightly further than they might like. send to be nashe tend to be the one nation conservative mps, they have chosen to back the legislation. they certainly don�*t want it to go any further, and that is a problem for rishi sunak because as we�*ve already seen, he�*s got a number of mps who don�*t think the legislation as it stands goes far enough. they�*ve voted to change it, they say that they are still in negotiations with downing street to see whether they can get any of the changes, even though they�*ve technically been defeated. 50—60 mps say they would like to see changes is a sizeable number. we have come to a point where the discussions are still ongoing. it�*s farfrom clear whether
7:04 pm
the legislation will actually get through the comments. it�*s a flagship wallasey for rishi sunak. —— policy. the policy of stopping the boats, coming over the channel illegally. that is something he has really put front and centre of his policy for government.— really put front and centre of his policy for government. yeah, lee anderson and _ policy for government. yeah, lee anderson and brendan _ policy for government. yeah, lee i anderson and brendan clarke-smith anderson and brendan clarke—smith have resigned. we had reaction from number ten saying rishi sunak has accepted the resignations, thank them for their dedication and hard work. they also said, a spokesperson, this is the toughest legislation ever brought for parliament to tackle illegal migration. the bill will make it clear if you come here illegally, you will not be able to say. "we must pass this to deliver what all conservative want." let�*s talk about is resignations. how significant are they? how big a headache is that proving for the prime minister? lee
7:05 pm
anderson and proving for the prime minister? lj:j: anderson and brendan clarke—smith said they voted for the amendments not because they�*re against the rwanda legislation, but because they wanted to work. and i think clearly they have been very prominent in terms of this legislation and in terms of this legislation and in terms of this legislation and in terms of the wider conservative party. they have had significant roles. the other rebels who voted against the government tonight see it as lee anderson and brendan clarke—smith as kind of having stood by their principles and resigned as a result of that. the big question is what mps then choose to do tomorrow. if all of those who have rebelled tonight were actually to vote against the bill tomorrow when it comes before parliament, again, you would be in a situation where the government would be defeated. there is the possibility that they may abstain. it�*s unclear how the
7:06 pm
numbers would fall in terms of that. we are fortunately joined numbers would fall in terms of that. we are fortunatelyjoined now by one of the people who voted against the government this evening. lovely to have you here. i know you�*vejust been to vote. first of all, can we get your reaction to where things stand now? a number of mps have voted for these amendments, but they haven�*t passed. voted for these amendments, but they haven't passed-— haven't passed. yes, so we've put forward a series _ haven't passed. yes, so we've put forward a series of— haven't passed. yes, so we've put forward a series of amendments l haven't passed. yes, so we've put| forward a series of amendments to tighten— forward a series of amendments to tighten up— forward a series of amendments to tighten up the bill. i think we're all united — tighten up the bill. i think we're all united in wanting this bill to work. and _ all united in wanting this bill to work, and we mean we wanted to provide _ work, and we mean we wanted to provide a — work, and we mean we wanted to provide a deterrent so that people smugglers know if you arrive on our sure illegally, you will be swiftly detained — sure illegally, you will be swiftly detained and deported. if that becomes widely known across the globe, _ becomes widely known across the globe, britain will not be seen as a soft touch — globe, britain will not be seen as a soft touch and the deterrent effect will work — soft touch and the deterrent effect will work. the bill as it stands, we think— will work. the bill as it stands, we think it _ will work. the bill as it stands, we think it has — will work. the bill as it stands, we think it has significant loopholes. it is think it has significant loopholes. it is an— think it has significant loopholes. it is an improvement, but it has significant — it is an improvement, but it has significant loopholes in it that

7:11 pm
advanced iranian weapons that were being transported to houthi rebels in yemen. the operation took place five days ago, as the us and uk carried out air strikes on houthi positions. the material found onboard a sailboat, included components for ballistic and cruise missiles, among them, warheads and guidance systems. parts for air defence equipment were also seized. the us military said initial analysis indicated the houthis had been using the same kinds of weapons in attacks against commercial shipping in the red sea. meanwhile, maritime agencies say there�*s been another missile attack on a cargo ship off the coast of yemen. the zografia, a maltese—flagged dry bulk vessel, is said to have suffered minor damage. us national security advisor jake sullivan has called on countries with influence in the middle east to join together to stop the houthis from "hijacking the world". this was what he had to say speaking in davos a short while ago. we anticipated the houthis would continue to try to hold this critical artery at risk, and we continue to reserve the right to take further action,
7:12 pm
but this needs to be an all—hands—on—deck effort. and frankly, the answer to your question about how long this goes on and how bad it gets comes down notjust to the decisions of the countries in the coalition that took strikes last week, but the broad set of countries, including those with influence in tehran and influence in other capitals in the middle east, making this a priority to indicate that the entire world rejects wholesale the idea that a group like the houthis can basically hijack the world, as they are doing. the qatari prime minister and foreign minister also warned of a dangerous escalation in the region after the us and uk strikes on the houthis. we see like it's the most dangerous escalation right now because it's not affecting only the region, it's affecting the global trade as well. now, we see that there are some retaliations from the us and uk
7:13 pm
on the houthis, trying to refrain them from disrupting the international trade. but yet this also will create a higher risk of further escalation and further expansion of that. we always prefer diplomacy over any military resolutions and we believe that we shouldn'tjust focus on those small conflicts. we should focus on the main conflict in gaza. and as soon as it's defused, i believe everything else will be diffused. it has described as a flagrant violation of sovereignty. it was described as reckless and imprecise. the us military said it tracked the
7:14 pm
strikes. israel hasn�*t commented. this was one of the buildings hit near the north of the country. local officials said four people were killed. these pictures possibly show them a style —— reportedly show the missile heading off. renad mansour is a senior research fellow at the iraq institute for strategic studies. he told me more about the strategy regarding his attack. iran is following a similar strategy that it has, you know, that has gotten it to where it is, why it�*s been so relatively relatively successful. it is not looking for a massive escalation and a war outright with the us or israel. what it�*s interested in, however, is maintaining the kind of equilibrium and violence groups that it has across the region. attacking is interesting and important for iran, i think, because it is a soft target.
7:15 pm
it has done so in the past. it doesn�*t expect much backlash and it doesn�*t expect it to escalate or any of the war to escalate to where the us is fighting iran directly. so that�*s what iran wants. it wants this indirect confrontation that could be played out in places like iraq or syria or yemen, but certainly not to threaten the national security of iran or even its interests across the region. but as it works and exerts its influence on the houthis in yemen, on hezbollah in lebanon, on hamas in gaza, is there a danger that it may say it doesn�*t want an escalation, but one could happen anyway? that�*s exactly right. so, in an intense environment, something could go wrong and this type of messaging and signalling through sending missiles could go wrong. and, until now, there haven�*t been casualties. you know, there was last night, of course, but for for many attacks,
7:16 pm
there haven�*t been casualties. but what happens when there are increasing casualties? what happens when it does go wrong, when, americans especially or foreigners are killed? iran might be in a position that it doesn�*t want to be. so it�*s a very risky game that it�*s playing through its allies across the region yemen, lebanon, syria and iraq. and it�*s managed to play this game safely. but at the moment, i think most would would would argue and conclude that it�*s a very tense in time for the middle east. it destroyed two bases of a military group. the group has mounted attacks on iranian security forces in the border area with pakistan. with me now... explain why iran is targeting them. with me now... explain why iran is targeting them-— targeting them. they lived both in the southeastern _
7:17 pm
targeting them. they lived both in the southeastern part _ targeting them. they lived both in the southeastern part of— targeting them. they lived both in the southeastern part of iron - targeting them. they lived both in the southeastern part of iron on . targeting them. they lived both in | the southeastern part of iron on an pakistan. this is the most impoverished part of iran and they believe because they�*re sunni muslims in response to iran, they are being discriminated. this is an extremist group, jaish al adl, so irani and media reported they launched a missile and drone attack against two of their headquarters. what we don�*t know is that this was coordinated with pakistanis in advance or not because this is a nuclear armed neighbour of iran. and they have quite an ok relationship. they sometimes have navy drills together, like military drills together. it�*s not a hostile relationship between iran and pakistan, but we don�*t know if pakistan has had no reactions so far. the reason iran launched these
7:18 pm
attacks is because jaish al adl has repeatedly attacked iranian security for kisses. they killed 11 police officers in september —— security forces. they killed at least 14 iranian border guards. brute forces. they killed at least 14 iranian border guards. we have this in pakistan in _ iranian border guards. we have this in pakistan in the _ iranian border guards. we have this in pakistan in the past _ iranian border guards. we have this in pakistan in the past few - iranian border guards. we have this in pakistan in the past few hours, i | in pakistan in the past few hours, i iran striking sites in iraq and syria. how do these fit in with the strategy as we�*ve seen as it works with these other militant group? unbelievable 24 hours. what happens in iran, appears it is humiliated because of the repeated attacks by jaish al adl. let�*s not forget the top iranian commander was killed in syria a few weeks ago near damascus, which was linked to israelis, and right after that, and attack took place in the southern city of
7:19 pm
claremont. 0ver place in the southern city of claremont. over 90 iranians were killed. iran feels humiliated. now they want to flex their muscles, so they�*re carrying out several attacks across the region. however, as your guest also mission, these are restrained attacks. no us personnel is heard. it�*sjust the restrained attacks. no us personnel is heard. it�*s just the construction mobile that is killed and his family, and also they attacked syria. they don�*t expect any flashback. syria. they don't expect any flashback-— syria. they don't expect any flashback. . ., , ., ~ flashback. parham ghobadi, thank ou. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let�*s look at some other stories making news. people in dozens of villages in the north—east of ukraine, people in dozens of villages in the north—east of ukraine have been ordered to leave because of russian attacks. they�*re in the kharkiv region near the border with russia. president zelensky is currently at the world economic forum in davos, trying to rally support for continuing military aid amidst dwindling international support.

the world health organization says the global use of tobacco is continuing to decline, but warns that it will take another 30 years for the impact of anti—smoking measures to be truly felt. it said the number of smokers globally fell from a third of all adults in 2000 to a fifth in 2022. venice has launched an online booking platform the portrait of king charles that will hang in public offices will be unveiled —— has been unveiled. it was taken inside windsor castle. public bodies such as schools are able to request a free framed copy of the photograph. you�*re live with bbc news. the global chief executive of fujitsu, takahito tokita, has apologised to british postmasters who were wrongly prosecuted for fraud, because of it faults in fujitsu�*s horizon software. speaking to the bbc at the world economic forum at davos in switzerland, mr tokita said the company was sorry
7:21 pm
for the impact it has had on the postmasters and theirfamilies, and insisted the company took the issue "very seriously". a bbc producer spoke to him as he walked between events would you like to apologise? yes. — yes, of course. fujitsu has apologised. regarding the impact on their lives and that of their families. - what do you think about fujitsu giving the money back? the government suggested that you should return the money. yeah, we understand - the ongoing public inquiry. and so, i'm sorry, i cannot comment ifor you further about these topics. i
7:22 pm
there�*s also been an apology from the head of fujitsu in europe for the company�*s role in the post office scandal. paul patterson has told mps that the company had fallen below its own standards of conduct and had a "moral obligation" to contribute to compensation for the victims. our business correspondent emma simpson reports. good morning, jo. jo hamilton, convicted by the post office, but later cleared on her way into parliament. huge interest, because the company behind the faulty software is finally talking. paul patterson from fujitsu, which has stayed largely silent until now. fujitsu would like to apologise for our part in this appalling miscarriage of justice. we were involved from the very start. we did have bugs and errors
7:23 pm
in the system, and we did help the post office in their prosecutions. and then there�*s the bill for compensation. is there a moral obligation, mr patterson, for you to contribute? i think there is a moral obligation for the company to contribute. for the company to contribute, and i think the right place to determine that is when our responsibility is very clear. he confirmed there were problems from the start and the post office was told. did we take that information and share it with the post office? yes, we did. how the post office then chose to use that information in their prosecutions is entirely on the post office�*s side. but he was less clear about what fujitsu knew and when. you knew that there was glitches in the system. why did you sit back and do absolutely nothing about it? i don�*t know. i really don�*t know. and on a personal level, i wish i did know. questions, too, for the ceo of the post office, nick reid, who started in 2019.
7:24 pm
have you seen any evidence that post office executives misled the courts at any stage? i�*ve seen any evidence, no. have you seen any evidence that post office ministers misled parliament at any stage? no, i haven�*t. do you believe that the post office prosecuted the innocent knowing the case to be flawed? i sincerely hope not, but i have not had evidence to that effect. but he did admit that it was possible money wrongly taken from subpostmasters could have ended up as part of executives�* pay. jo hamilton was watching it all right behind them. i kind of knew what - they were going to say. but he did say he was going to cough up. yeah, yeah, yeah. ish~ _ yeah. — so that's good news. it's good news for the taxpayer anyway, isn't it? _ but we just need this fast—tracked. the post office minister told mps he�*s hoping to have compensation sorted by the end of the summer. the pressure is on to deliver that.
7:25 pm
more than 200 new potential victims have now come forward as the true scale of this scandal is still being revealed. in davos, the global boss of fujitsu has just made his first public comments on the scandal to the bbc. would you like to apologise? yeah. — yes, of course, of course. fujitsu has apologised. fujitsu is taking it seriously, he says. his company under real scrutiny now. emma simpson, bbc news. i'll i�*ll be back very shortly was plenty more with the date�*s top stories. hello there. it�*s been quite a snowy day across the northern half of the uk. further south, it�*s been cold, but largely dry with some sunshine, a little bit of variable cloud here and there. wednesday promises to be another largely sunny one towards the south, a bit more cloud around,
7:26 pm
i think, for southern britain. and we�*ll continue with the snow showers across northern coastal parts of scotland and into northern ireland. and we�*ll continue with the snow showers across northern coastal parts of scotland and into northern ireland. these weather fronts bringing this rain, sleet and snow to the north of the uk sinking southwards and weakening. so, during the overnight period, there�*ll be no more than a band of cloud running southwards across england and wales, maybe just a few snow flurries on it. and there could be the chance of this area of low pressure over france could push a bit further northwards to give some rain, sleet and snow to southern counties of england early on wednesday. the snow showers continue. northern scotland, northern ireland under clear skies. it�*s going to be very cold, a sharp frost across the northern half of the country. so, for wednesday, we�*ve got that feature running across france, which could affect the far south of the country. plenty of snow showers across northern coastal areas, so a bit more cloud, i think, in the mix across southern britain for wednesday. high cloud, greyer the further south you go, could see rain, sleet, snow close to the coast. chances of wintry showers for southeast england. frequent snow showers with ice for northern scotland, northern ireland, a few into the irish sea down towards northwest england and wales.
7:27 pm
and it�*s going to be a cold day wherever you are, despite the sunshine through central areas. for wednesday night, we see the wintry mix clearing away from the southeast, clear skies for many, snow showers draped across coastal areas. and that�*s where we�*ll see a significant ice risk, further inland under clear skies, light winds, it�*s going to be another very cold night to come. so, for thursday morning, we start off with plenty of crisp sunshine around, wintry showers around coastal areas, these most frequent across northern scotland and northern ireland. heavy snow showers here leading to significant accumulations of snow across northern scotland. central southern areas will be dry on thursday. plenty of sunshine, but it�*s going to be another very cold day. on friday, we could see an area of more substantial snow again across scotland. further south, it�*ll be cold and sunny, and then some changes as we head into the weekend. on saturday, the winds start to pick up, low pressure starts to sweep in off the atlantic, so that brings a very big change to the weather. it turns more unsettled with wet and windy weather
7:28 pm
for the second half of the week into next week, and it�*s turning milder.
