live from london. this is bbc news. rishi sunak urges the house of lords to �*do the right thing' and back his rwanda migrant legislation, after it passed its third reading in the commons. people know that if they come here illegally, they will be detained and swiftly removed. that is what this rwanda bill delivers. pakistan carries out overnight strikes on what it calls �*terrorist hideouts�* in iran's border province — two days after iranian attacks on pakistan. nurses teachers and civil servants are among tens of thousands walking out over pay in the biggest strike in northern ireland's history sees tens of thousands of workers across 16 unions walking out over pay. and — we take a look at the film blockbusters contending for this years bafta awards nominations.

hello, i'm sarah campbell. welcome to bbc news now, 3 hours of fast—moving news, interviews and reaction. we start in westminster — where rishi sunak has been outlining the next steps for his plan to send some asylum seekers who come to the uk — to rwanda, in central africa. he won a vote in the house of commons on wednesday evening — for legislation which effectively declares rwanda to be a safe country. the new legislation was brought in after the uk's supreme court ruled it could not go ahead. the prime minister had to face down a potential rebellion from inside his own conservative party — and could yet face more opposition from the house of lords — or even once again in the courts. the conservative party has come together, this is an urgent national priority. the treaty with rwanda is signed and the legislation which deems

rwanda a safe country has been passed in our elected chamber. there's only one question — will the opposition and the appointed house of lords try and frustrate the will of the people as expressed by the elected house or will they get on board and do right thing? it's as simple as that. let's just quickly run through what the legislation would actually mean. it outlines a plan to send some asylum seekers arriving in the uk to rwanda — where they would have their claims processed. if successful, they could be granted refugee status and allowed to stay. if not, they could apply to settle in rwanda on other grounds, or seek asylum in another "safe third country". anyone "entering the uk illegally" after 1 january 2022 could be sent there, the government said, with no limit on numbers. ministers say it would deter people from risking their lives by crossing the english channel in small boats. the first flight was scheduled to go

injune 2022, but was cancelled after legal challenges. this has been a journey, it has passed through the house of commons but there is a significant test delay. but there is a significant test dela . ~ , ., , but there is a significant test dela. ~ , delay. the prime minister was asked twice whether _ delay. the prime minister was asked twice whether we _ delay. the prime minister was asked twice whether we would _ delay. the prime minister was asked twice whether we would see - delay. the prime minister was asked twice whether we would see flights | twice whether we would see flights going to rwanda loaded with illegal migrants before the next election and twice, he dodged the question. and the timetable i think is very difficult to see quite how it's going to work out. a lot of unknowns in there. immediately, of course, we heard the prime minister say, urging the house of lords to follow the will of the people. he does go to the house of lords. but i think there are a number of reasons why it will get delayed there. ordinarily, the house of lords would not want to

frustrate legislation passed by the house of commons, the elected chamber. but on this occasion, i think there might be good reason why some peers at least will want to seek debate and discussion and possibly amendments. one, because the bill potentially means that the government will be able to ignore international law. the prime minister said that he would certainly consider that if necessary. it is designed, of course, to overturn the decision of the supreme court who said rwanda it was not safe, this says whatever anyone says, we wonder is safe as far as the house of commons is concerned. and the other i think, is around the point the prime minister made, the will of the people. some members of the house of lords will say, hold on, this was not in the 2019 conservative manifesto. the rwanda plan was not there at all. when you talk about the well of the people, at what point have they had

a chance to give their views on this? there have been opinion polls, but even those are pretty divisive. there is not really a clear dramatic big majority in favour of the rwanda plan. people seem sceptical and i think the house of lords is going to be sceptical too. even after that, evenif be sceptical too. even after that, even if they house of lords as i expect they will at some point, it has to come back, and because we had a supreme court ruling, they will inevitably be legal challenges. there will be challenges which will probably end up in the supreme court. a process that in the first iteration of this attempt to push through the rwanda policy took months and months. that is why it is hard to actually work out how long this is going to take. whether we could potentially see flights, you know, at easter, as the prime minister one side or even before an autumn election. it minister one side or even before an autumn election.— autumn election. it has been a tricky piece — autumn election. it has been a tricky piece of _ autumn election. it has been a tricky piece of legislation - autumn election. it has been a tricky piece of legislation to i

autumn election. it has been a i tricky piece of legislation to pass, a dispute on his own party, the issues with the supreme court. today, the home office has been reprimanded by the uk statistics authority. can you explain that? there was a promise by the mining sector to get rid the asylum backlog. —— the prime minister. this was then clarified to mean the part of the backlog and place in november 2022 when you legislation on asylum came in. and then you may remember, just a few weeks ago, the home office put out a press release which said that backlog cleared, the prime minister went on social media and said the backlog was cleared. but actually, when we looked at the numbers, and we did not see the numbers, and we did not see the numbers immediately, we did not see the mental 930 in the morning after the mental 930 in the morning after the story had appeared in the morning papers, it emerged it had not been entirely cleared. there had been 4000 cases which were too difficult and had been put in a new

category. what has happened now, the chair of the uk starts authority has basically said this is not the way to do things. you cannot say these kinds of things because it undermines public trust. interestingly, he goes on to say that the home office putting out a press release in time for the morning papers but before journalists can scrutinise the figures the following morning, he said that was... does not support our expectations around intelligent transparency. ticked off, i do not think there will be too many surprises, it was a very interesting statement by the prime minister to come —— to claim job done when even ijy come —— to claim job done when even by his own numbers, it wasn't quite. live now to henry hill, deputy editor of conservative home.

listening to rishi sunak one hour ago, it did rather sound like the conservatives were united on this. the events of the last couple of days suggest otherwise. timer;r the events of the last couple of days suggest otherwise. they are united in as _ days suggest otherwise. they are united in as much _ days suggest otherwise. they are united in as much as _ days suggest otherwise. they are united in as much as they - days suggest otherwise. they are l united in as much as they managed days suggest otherwise. they are - united in as much as they managed to get the bill through the third reading in the house of commons with a very small number of rebels. yes, the party is divided on this question, on the one hand, you have mps who worry that the whole rwanda scheme is going too far, it poses fundamental questions about the geeky�*s existing legal commitments and so on. on the other hand, you have the rebels who worry that the bill and strapped it will not be effective and there will be huge political for the government as well as the problem of not solving the small boats. no party, the conservatives are struggling, labour do not have a solution to how to block illegal crossings either. it is divisive and opposes hard questions about the current state of

the uk's international commitments and those divisions will play out for the rest of this parliament and i suspect over the next ten years or so. ., ., ., so. you have outlined the difficulties, _ so. you have outlined the difficulties, this _ so. you have outlined the difficulties, this has - so. you have outlined the l difficulties, this has proved so. you have outlined the i difficulties, this has proved a so. you have outlined the - difficulties, this has proved a very tricky piece of legislation. both within the party, and said the party, the supreme court, everything else. why is rishi sunak sticking with it? what is the political calculation that makes him believe this is the right way to go forward? there are a few different factors. there are a few different factors. the government has been backed into a corner. they thought the rwanda scheme would be easier. for the original version they drafted, they rejected hard—line recommendations from the home office because they thought they could get it through the courts. they won in the high court but they lost in the court of appeal in the supreme court and that got them where they are. the second problem is a decent chunk of voters may not care about the specifics, but they care about illegal migration bill and channel crossings. if the government

abandons the scheme, they would have nothing to talk about on illegal migration. it would not have a dividing line with labour, and if we had another summer of crossings, it would be hugely exposed. the third problem, the government wants to run the next election in part on immigration because it is an issue that matters to a lot of conservative voters. but the cannot run on legal immigration because it is at a record high, 750,000 nearly net inflow last year. they have been running a laissez faire policy. if you want to talk about immigration, you want to talk about immigration, you have to talk about illegal immigration and that means talking about rwanda.— about rwanda. there have been leadership _ about rwanda. there have been leadership questions, _ about rwanda. there have been leadership questions, do - about rwanda. there have been leadership questions, do you i about rwanda. there have been i leadership questions, do you think rishi sunak�*s position as the prime minister is under threat? i do rishi sunak's position as the prime minister is under threat?— minister is under threat? i do not think it is under _ minister is under threat? i do not think it is under pressure - minister is under threat? i do not think it is under pressure at i minister is under threat? i do not think it is under pressure at the l think it is under pressure at the moment, no. the biggest strike in northern ireland's history has

begun, with tens of thousands of workers taking part in walkouts over pay. nurses, teachers and civil servants are among the public sector workers who are taking part in the action, which is co—ordinated between 16 trade unions. our ireland correspondent chris page gave us the latest. well, the impact is going to be extremely significant. most people in northern ireland say they really can't remember a day like this at all. schools are shut. buses and trains aren't running. civil servants have walked out. as indeed have health workers so i'm outside the royal victoria hospital in west belfast. this is the biggest hospital in northern ireland. the royal college of nursing picket line isjust behind me. other workers on strike include radiographers, midwives, clerical staff, so that will of course have an effect on services in the health service here. the unions say this is a last resort. their main issue is pay, particularly, they say, the fact that their pay has fallen well behind their counterparts in the rest of the uk in recent years. the background to all this, there is currently no devolved government in northern ireland.

hasn't been a fully functioning power—sharing coalition in belfast for the best part of two years now. the democratic unionist party is vetoing the formation of a power—sharing administration because of its concerns over post—brexit trade trade barriers between northern ireland and the rest of the uk which is unionist, they say, is unacceptable to them. now, the british government has said that if devolution does get back up and running, well, it will provide extra funding including more than half a billion pounds for public sector pay increases. but it says that money is only going to become available if the dup drops its veto and the devolved government does come back. unions say they are basically caught in the middle of a political game. they and indeed the main political parties here in northern ireland say the british government should release that money for public sector workers right now.

that was chris page reporting from northern ireland. i want to take you pictures live from belfast. you heard chris talking about the issues, the main issue being the issues, the main issue being the issue of public sector pay. nurses, teachers, all out on strike. let's take a listen to what is being said there.

to reduce job losses. the consumer group which says its research suggests people can pay significantly more for train tickets at station vending machines in england compared with those bought online. it checked the prices of seventy—five different journeys. train companies said they would continue to work you are live with bbc news. pakistan says it has carried out strikes on what it says were terrorists hideouts in iran. it happened in iran's sistan—o—balochistan province, which borders pakistan — and it came two days after iran conducted strikes inside pakistani territory. several people are reported to have been killed. these pictures have emerged from iran, showing what appears to be a crater caused by an explosion, and damage to several buildings and homes. pakistan's ministry of foreign affairs did not directly link its strikes with the ones carried out by iran.

rather, it said it was taking precision action against pakistani terrorists, who have based themselves in ungoverned spaces inside iran — to prevent imminent large scale terrorist activities... pakistan undertook a series of highly coordinated and specifically targeted precision military strikes against terrorist hideouts in sistan—balochistan province of iran. a number of terrorists were killed during the intelligence based operation codenamed marg bar sarmachar. this morning's action was taken in light of credible intelligence of impending large scale terrorist activities against pakistan by these terrorists. this action is a manifestation of pakistan's unflinching resolve to protect and defend its national security against all threats. in a moment we will talk to bbc

persian reporter parham gobhadi who is here in the studio with me, but first our bbc urdu reporter umer nagiana is in islamabad. thank you for talking to us. can you take us through the situation? what is being set in as i'm about today? as we've heard, the foreign office has described it as a precise attack inside the province, just inside iran. they have said they were targeting the terrorist organisation, the band terrorist organisations, and they said that these hideouts were being used by terrorists, they said that they have been given this information about the presence of these terrorists on

the presence of these terrorists on the iranians site to the iranian authorities have been used many times before. but there was no action taken. so what they are saying now that is why they have carried out these attacks. in fact, these are attacks that pakistan has carried out in answer to the attacks iran carried out the other day, the day before. what we know so far, this is the situation, there have been attacks from both sides, the prime minister is coming back, he has cut short his trip and he has called a national security council meeting tomorrow which is represented by military and civil leadership, to assess the situation and how to move forward from there. can you explain the situation between pakistan and iran and

detail about those bafta nominations. stay us on bbc news. hello again. we started with a bitterly cold morning, leading us into another bitterly cold day and really through today and tomorrow, it's going to remain cold. there'll be further snow showers, especially so in the north of the country with some blizzards and drifting. into the weekend, it turns much milder than it has been, but it's going to be wet and windy. so the met office amber weather warning still in force for the far north of scotland and the northern isles. we could see a further 5 to 15 centimetres of snow, with blizzards and drifting. 5 to 10 centimetres coming out of some of the snow showers in northern ireland and a few wintry showers across the irish sea and the north sea coastline, making it inland at times. but despite the fact most of us will have a dry day with some sunshine, it's still going to feel cold. as we head through the latter

part of the afternoon and into the evening and overnight, further snow showers across the isle of man into north—west england, wales, cheshire, possibly even as far south as the midlands. but the showers, not all of us will see them, and we'll have more snow showers coming in across scotland. but the wind is going to change direction to more of a westerly. so it's not going to be as cold along the coasts. you can see the greens here move inland. we're looking at another widespread frost and another cold night. so tomorrow, we start off with a lot of dry and sunny conditions. initially, the snow will be at low levels in scotland, but through the day it will rise into the hills above about 400 metres or so and quite a brisk wind, as well. temperatures, i in lerwick to a high of 6 as we push down towards the south of england and wales. so temperatures are going to be higher than they have been, but it will still feel cold. and then as we head on into the weekend the weather changes, we start to have more of an atlantic influence, with strong winds, gales, even severe gales at times and weather fronts bringing in some rain. so this is the picture on saturday.

the rain coming in from the west pushing generally eastwards. we're also looking at drier conditions, brighter conditions in the far south—east. but it is going to be a windy day wherever you are. but note the temperatures, 6 to 9 degrees. it's been quite a while since we've seen temperatures at that level. and if anything, as we head on into sunday and monday, temperatures are going to continue to rise. but on sunday, we're looking at more rain, some heavy rain and also strong winds with some melting snow, too, which could lead to some local flooding.
