a fatal heart attack. bronson battersby was found in the home of his father kenneth who was 60. it's thought he died in the days after christmas and the child was then left alone. there were attempts to check on bronson�*s welfare, but by the time the property was entered it was too late. jo black has our report from skegness i must warn you the details are distressing. bronson! come on, then. bronson battersby was known to social services, but his death and that of his father appear to have happened in the most tragic of circumstances. the bodies of bronson and his 60—year—old father, kenneth battersby, were discovered on january the 9th. children's services say kenneth, who was on his own with his son, passed away at home, and that meant nobody was there to give his little boy care. and as a result, he also died. it is a tragedy. ijust happened to look out my window and i noticed suddenly this huge police presence. and then i spoke to a couple

of residents across the road and one of them said that they had found a body in there of a child. bronson was last seen waving at a neighbour on boxing day. the next day, his father arranged a visit from social workers for the 2nd of january. the social worker visited the house that day, but the knock at the door went unanswered, so the police were contacted. two days later, a social worker visits again. five days later, bronson and kenneth battersby are found dead after the landlady is asked to open the property by social services. that landlady, maria clifton—place, didn't want to appear on camera, but she told us she rushed to the address when social services asked if they could gain entry. i opened the lounge door and kenny was just laid on the floor and i knew he was dead. it was just a horrible, horrible tragedy for that poor

little boy and kenny. we're just heart broken. i classed kenny as a personal friend. he really helped me out when i needed him. on social media, bronson�*s mother has paid tribute to her little boy and says she will forever miss him. just incredible to think that - something like this could happen in skegness in britain in 2024. there are obviously lots of questions to answer, | but it's just such a tragedy. meanwhile, children's services says a rapid review has begun. in the cases where you are most concerned, and they're unusual, you would be contacting the police and then you would work jointly with the police because children's social care, social workers don't have the right of entry to a property. only the police have that in child protection cases. so the police and social care should be working very, very closely together. lincolnshire police are not treating the deaths as suspicious and have referred themselves to the independent office

for police conduct. jo black, bbc news, in skegness. iran has admitted to carrying out a missile and drone attack on pakistani territory. speaking at the world economic forum tehran�*s foreign minister insisted that tuesday's strike targeted a militant group, jaish al—adl, and described pakistan as a "friendly" country. take a listen. translation: none of the nationals ofthe translation: none of the nationals of the friendly _ translation: none of the nationals of the friendly country _ translation: none of the nationals of the friendly country of _ translation: none of the nationals of the friendly country of pakistan - of the friendly country of pakistan were targeted by the missiles and trends of iran. there is this group, so—called jaish al—adl which is a iranian terrorist group. they have taken shelter in some parts of the pakistani and provinces if her several times we have talked to officials in pakistan and disagreed

the forces they are carried out some operations in iran especially in the police station they killed our security personnel. we responded accordingly. we had only targeted iranian terrorists on the soil of pakistan. the government in islamabad has reacted angrily to the attack. it's recalled its ambassador to iran and blocked tehran�*s envoy from returning. in a statement the pakistani foreign ministry called the strike a blatant breach of its sovereignty. for reaction from tehran, i spoke to seyed mohammad marandi, professor of english literature and orientalism at tehran university. iran's not sending a message to pakistan. that area is an area where the pakistani armed forces are not really fully in charge. they have problems near the iranian border. and these terrorists,

this terrorist group has taken advantage of that. this terrorist group also has a working relationship with intelligence agencies that are based in the west and more in particular, mossad. and we've seen a rise in terror of terrorist attacks against iran from southeastern baluchistan on the pakistani border, as well as from kurdistan in northern iraq. over the last few weeks, ever since the fighting in gaza and the the fact that the israelis have not had successes on the battlefield ever since that began, and since the israelis began to have serious problems, we have seen an increase in these attacks around iran and inside iran. there's a few different things to unpack. the first thing i want to say, though, is you talk about the groups

that are active there. but we heard earlier in the programme from a former foreign minister in pakistan and the response there has been furious. she said there are mechanisms in place to deal with this without iran acting unilaterally. so why do you think they chose that route? well, it is understandable for the pakistani government to be angry and the iranians understood that and the iranians didn't want to carry this out. they've been trying for a very long time to find a different solution. but as i said earlier, the pakistani government doesn't have full control of that area and this terrorist group is receiving funding from western intelligence agencies and the israeli regime in particular. and this is a pattern we see, as i said earlier, we see the same in northern iraq, where the central government in baghdad doesn't have full control there either. the local government has a very close relationship

with the israeli regime. and we also see terrorist organizations, iranian terrorist organizations based there. these are some serious and significant accusations that you're making here. do you have any proof of that? yes. documentaries by news channels like yours, many of them have traveled to northern iraq, visited their bases and interviews with these militants. it's nothing secret. and the iranians have been putting pressure on the kurdish run part of iraq to remove these terrorist organizations. so this is an ongoing problem. as long as the central government in baghdad does not have full authority over its over the country, this problem will persist. and we expect the local kurdish government to allow the central government to have the authority that it should have according to the constitution. and in pakistan, the iranians

are hoping that with cooperation with through cooperation with the pakistani army, the border can be fully controlled by the armed forces of the two sides so that terrorists can be defeated. i think it has to be said that various of those countries and groups and organizations that you mentioned there as funding this terror group would would refute that very strongly. and just as a final thought, where does iran go, go next? as you say, we've seen various strikes in different countries and different territories this week. what do you think tehran is building towards? well, first i'd like to say that the israelis refute everything. they carry out genocide and the west and israel, everyone refutes genocide, which we are seeing with our eyes. but the relationship between iran and pakistan is very strong. the two countries have always had a close relationship.

this issue will be resolved, and the same is true with iraq. the issues will be resolved. both countries recognise what the problem is. pakistan has problems. the iranians understand that. but the government in iran also has its own problems. the public is very angry for the major terrorist attacks that came from pakistan, and the government feels that they have to respond to the people. but i think that both the pakistani authorities and the iranian authorities will take cooperation more seriously in the future so that people on both sides of the border can feel safe and secure. as we've been hearing, two qatari military planes carrying two qatari military planes carrying medicines for hostages in gaza have arrived in egypt. the consignment will be transferred to the territory under an agreement between israel and hamas which will also see increased aid for palestinian civilians in gaza. it's unclear how exactly the medicines will be delivered to some a5 of the remaining more than 100 israeli hostages, who are reported to be suffering from chronic diseases or in need of life saving drugs.

the father of lior perri 80—year—old chaim peri still being in gaza. the father of lior perri 80—year—old chaim peri is one of the hostages still being in gaza. well, hopefully it will do some effect. but there a problem, you know? he's had a severe heart attack five years ago. and he's and he's been taking a medicine to to treat his heart problem ever since. the problem is it's not like an aspirin that you can just take, and that's it. it's it's something that should be consulted with the doctor, and it's something that needs to be very closely supervised. so what is the use of those medicine now without without the doctors supposed to supply them? i'm not sure. besides, the whole thing looks like a diversion for me. another thing that the israeli government can

mess with now, to avoid the the real question, the real mission, it has to retrieve the hostages. it's an interesting point you make there, because the suggestion is, isn't it, as you say, that this is not going to be followed up by what, again, families like yours have been pushing for, which is actual access for the the red cross and the red crescent to meet with the hostages and to actually provide in—person medical care. of course, and the most important things if we're making any efforts in the field of gaza. so let's make the effort to go back to the negotiation. and see how we can release them now because they are very old and sick people and they will not last. and i don't know how much those medications will help. we need to get them out of there as soon as possible, because every day passing is a danger to their lives, not only

because of the lack of medication, but also because of the the harsh environment they live in. the situation in gaza inflicts the hostages as well and the constant bombing and the moving of the of the hospitals from one place to another. and accidental shooting by the idf every day brings them closer to their deaths. and in dealing now with something like medication, seems to me like a diversion from from the real needs. what are you hearing from the government about the status of those talks, those negotiations, those efforts to release more hostages? because it's been many weeks now, hasn't it, since we last saw a deal on a hostage release? are we likely to see another one or does that still seem quite a remote possibility? what are you hearing? unfortunately, the thing i hear

is that the government saying that they want to release the hostages, but their action speaks differently. they're doing everything they can to sabotage the negotiation. they're not initiating any negotiation of themselves. they're waiting for someone else to start it. and once it starts, they do they take action that only makes the negotiation stop. so the way i see it, from what i understand, although nobody from my government said it specifically, but what i see is that my government has decided that its political survival is more important than the hostages lives. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. autumn,

you're live with bbc news. rappers like to shock and northern ireland's latest success follows that trend. the rap trio from belfast which performs mainly in irish have sold out gigs in the uk, ireland and the us. and now kneecap are making their acting debut. theirfilm is having its premiere at the sundance film festival in the us. our culture correspondent, charlotte gallagher, has been to belfast to meet them and a warning her report does contain some flash photography. # my raybans. ..# kneecap are at the forefront of irish hip hop, rapping in both irish and english. their self—titled film, a semi—fictionalized account of how they got together, also blends the two languages, and it's the first irish language film to be included at the sundance film festival. they called our generation the ceasefire babies. so it's about these three fathers trying to find their place in the world.

and it's about, you know, their identity and stuff like that. so everybody has this idea of the irish language, that we alljust said about in pubs, playing fiddles and talking about grammar. you know what i mean? when in actual fact, these three characters don't really mention the language that much. the whole film they're, like, selling drugs and like talking about, you know, youth culture. you've heard of intergenerational trauma, right? right. our history. our history has become our biology. kneecap are not without controversy.

they didn't know how to act. right? because, you know, it's not necessarily a natural thing. and we got on board an acting coach called kieran lagan, who's from queen's university, and he put together a course that, over six months, you know, kind of put them through a university degree in acting, all the theory and things like that. and they absolutely blossomed week by week and i think the biggest thing people are going to be surprised about isjust how good they are on screen. and they are acting opposite people like michael fassbender, simone kirby, some of the greatest actors ireland's produced in a generation, and they don't look like they're there because they've won a raffle. kneecap are not without controversy. this mural showing a police land rover on fire did upset some local politicians, but the band say they're about making music, not stirring up tensions. i think controversy is definitely subjective because, like, you had the song get your brits out, that has nothing to do with a mass exodus of british people from the north of ireland or anything like that there. which people like to believe. and that's kind of what we're playing off there. but in reality, the song, obviously, if you don't speak irish, you don't know what we're saying,

but the song is about taking the dup out. on a night out. so there are many aspects. people have different ideas of what we are, but we obviously just make music. you see this kind . of aesthetic as well of people wearing tracksuits - and the kind of clothes you wear, it's associated with a type i of scumbaggery and people just have that image straight away. i was just about to say that as well. l with a balaclava as well, people look at this and - think it's a kind of sectarian statement or something, _ but it's the opposite. the name is derived from so—called kneecapping, where people are shot in the legs by paramilitaries. but kneecap say their name isn't a celebration of violence. any interview we do, we always say like, just like, we're glad that there's peace now. we're not trying to stoke any fires. like, we're all the same people, do you know what i mean? and the pioneers in irish rap gave me a language lesson before i left.

he speaks irish. she repeats. thank you, guys. no problem. what's thank you in irish? go raibh maith agat. it's not easy. that was "i'm here with kneecap today in belfast". apologies about the pronunciation. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. a new bbc documentary is revealing the extent of the lies spread by a 22—year—old woman, who falsely told police in cumbria she'd been raped by men who were part of an asian grooming gang. she was jailed last year. but anna collinson has been investigating the web of deceit created — you may find some of the details in her report upsetting. i guess you kind of, you can probably guess what's going to happen. if you just listen... this is the moment eleanor williams was arrested in 2020. a court would later find that she had repeatedly lied about being raped, which legal experts

stress rarely happens. exclusive access to police footage shows it started at 16 and then escalated. he had a knife, he was waving it around. by 18, she claimed she was being trafficked by an asian gang. which one was willing to pay the most money to go with. the police treated williams like a victim, but suspicions began to arise after they spent two days driving her around blackpool, where she said she'd been recently trafficked to, and was unable to provide any leads. was it on that route you took us on or was it somewhere else? i don't know. not sure? that's when i first started wondering myself, personally, is there any truth in this? the following week, her lies unravel further when police are called to her home. you all right? injured, and seemingly intoxicated, she makes more claims of being trafficked. an investigation takes place, and this is the innocent young man she accuses. cctv from that night shows the pair

met by chance in preston, when he asks herfor a lighter. it's williams who pursues a conversation. she's then seen on camera in barrow in furness, walking home with no visible injuries. but when police arrive at her flat 20 minutes later, this is what they find. help. i'll help you, i'll help you. shall we get you an ambulance? in court, a judge ruled these injuries were self—inflicted and that she was playacting. he also found there was no evidence that she was mentally unwell. what we see on this is an evolution. you've got an awful allegation in 2017, a much worse allegation in 2019, and then weeks later, boom, it properly snowballs into a massive, multi handed organised crime group. cumbria police say this is a totally unique case and want to reassure genuine victims

that they will be supported. williams' lies about an asian grooming gang led to a spike in hate crime in barrow and damaged the mental health of the men she wrongly accused. and yet we may never know, why did she lie? anna collinson, bbc news. the princess of wilsons had planned abdominal surgery and will be in hospitalfor abdominal surgery and will be in hospital for up abdominal surgery and will be in hospitalfor up to a abdominal surgery and will be in hospital for up to a fortnight. kensington palace is the procedure was sex full and took place in a private hospital in central london. the prince is unlikely to return to public duties until after easter. together on christmas day, the king, the princess of wales just behind him and the wider royal family attended church on the sandringham estate in norfolk. it was the last time the king and the princess

were seen in public. they appeared in good health. in the run—up to christmas, the king had carried out all of his scheduled public engagements. there had been no indication of any health problems, but this afternoon buckingham palace released a statement. it said, in common with thousands of men each year the king has sought treatment for an enlarged prostate. his majesty's condition is benign and he will attend hospital next week for a corrective procedure. i hope it will open those conversations that men can have with each other and hopefully with their gps. sometimes we hear men talking about how they find it embarrassing to talk about any prostate problems but i think it's fantastic that again it opens the opportunity to really understand that prostate problems are common and nothing to be embarrassed about. earlier in the afternoon had come news of the princess of wales being in hospital. like the king she too had shown no sign of any health issues last month during a full programme of engagements that included hosting a carol concert at westminster abbey. but kensington palace said yesterday

afternoon she was admitted to this central london hospital for what they described as planned abdominal surgery. she is expected to stay here for 10—1a days and is unlikely to return to royal duties before easter. i think based on her age, based on her fitness, based on how she appears in the public from what i can see, i think a recovery should be straightforward. as long as she looks after herself and not rush back to her very busy schedule. palace officials have not disclosed why the princess has had surgery. they say they appreciate there will be interest in her condition but she wants to keep her personal medical information private and would like to maintain as much normality as possible for her children.

stay with us. here is the weather. hello there. the met office amber snow and ice warnings remains in force across northern scotland and the northern isles tonight and into much of tomorrow. these snow showers will come in thick and fast with some significant accumulations of snow in places. could lead to some issues by the morning period. elsewhere, it's largely clear that very cold and very frosty, probably the coldest night of this cold snap. so this weather fronts accentuating the snow showers across northern scotland and the northern isles. stronger northerly wind which allows some drifting and blizzard conditions. and we'll see further snow showers developing around some north sea coast, northern ireland and through the irish sea. anywhere where we have wintry showers ice will be a significant risk. for most, it's dry and clear and very cold. north to south across the country could be down to —15 celsius central northern scotland. so it's a very cold start to thursday. there will be a lot of sunshine around, but wintry showers continue around.

coastal areas could see a dusting of snow across some of these eastern counties. but the heaviest of the snow, again, falling across northern scotland to the northern isles. again, drifting and blizzard conditions perhaps in excess of ten centimetres of fresh snow by the time we reach the end of thursday. and it'll be a very cold day. a slightly stronger wind for all areas, so it will feel bitterly cold, i think. and then through thursday night, we start to lose the showers from the east coast as the wind changes. directions are more westerly. so its northern, western scotland which will continue to see the snow and the ice. elsewhere, clearer skies and other cold nights come, but maybe not quite as cold as what we're expecting tonight. subtle changes into friday. this area of high pressure starts to build in. so a lot of fine weather, but it cuts off the arctic northern and brings us a westerly. so i think it'll be noticeably less cold on friday. but we'll continue with snow across northern and western scotland, certainly over the high ground, maybe wintry mix down to sea level and it will be breezier. so another cold day to come here. but you'll notice further south

we've lost those blue colours, a—6 degrees. then that area of high pressure pulls away into the weekend and allows low pressure off the atlantic to take over. so a very different feel to the weather through the weekend and indeed into next week. wetter, windier and much milder. but the combination of mild air with snowmelt and rain could lead to some localised flooding. so stay tuned.

hello, i'm samantha simmonds. you're watching the context on bbc news. we have worked through a record number of cases and returned a record number of people back to where they've come. all of that is a plan that is working and we can see that it is working because the numbers of people coming to this country are down by over a third, mr speaker. kagame, is the uk deal working? thee supreme court says that your country is not safe. is it safe for refugees? ask uk. it is the uk's problem not rawanda's. - as things stand, the government maintains a quiet confidence that despite all of this noise when that big vote does come, it can win.
