and is this a film first? caputured on camera — a newborn great white shark. coming up on bbc news, aston villa docked points but still go through to the quarterfinals along with sunderland at the expense of manchester united. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. the prime minister is braced for more challenges to his controversial plans to send some asylum seekers to rwanda — as the house of lords begins debating the government's bill for the first time. rishi sunak is urging the lords not to block the will of the people by voting it down. more than 1,000 migrants have already crossed the channel so far this year.

but some who tried never made it, like this 14—year—old boy from syria, who was travelling with his 16—year—old brother. they were among five migrants who became the first to die in the channel this year. 0ur paris correspondent, andrew harding, has tracked down the boys' family to try to discover how they got to the french coast and why they wanted to come to the uk. we've come to the spot where it all went wrong. the first drownings of the year here on the french coast. two survivors are showing me where their friends got into trouble late at night, trying to scramble onto a small boat. one of them was a 14—year—old boy called 0bada. he was scared and not for the first time. they're pointing to where 0bada, the m—year—old, disappeared and drowned just so close to shore. he couldn't swim. 0bada was syrian and this,

as far as we can establish, is his story, a story that ended here two weeks ago. french rescuers arriving too late to drag him from the icy waters alive. 0bada, he was only 1a years old... 0bada's name was read out the next evening at a ceremony in calais alongside his older brother, issa, the latest in a long list of migrant deaths. but why and how was a child caught up in such a dangerous journey? we went to london to meet another of 0bada's brothers, nada. he had made the same illegal crossing two years ago and now has refugee status in the uk. he and the family had encouraged 0bada to attempt the same trip. he told me when he coming here, he want watch... ..football game and arsenal...

nada is wrestling with grief and regret. and now do you think maybe he should have stayed in syria? yes. he would still be alive. alhamdulillah. it was last may that 0bada, then aged 13, set off from war—torn syria. his parents sent us footage of the bedroom he shared with them. they'd urged him to make the trip to england, wrongly believing they might then follow him legally. first stop, a flight to libya with his brother, issa. and from libya's capital, tripoli, a first attempt to cross the mediterranean in a smuggler�*s boat. but they were caught off the coast of tunisia, possibly in this boat or one very like it, and sent back to libya and to a prison controlled by a militia group.

by the time they'd bribe their way to freedom weeks later, a traumatised 0bada was talking about going home. instead, his brother and friends urged him to toughen up and arranged a second boat trip. they were rescued by italian coast guards, brought ashore here in lampedusa, registered, then allowed to head north through italy and france to calais. in london, 0bada's brother warned them that england was tightening its rules, that it might be better to stay in europe. i told them, go to germany. because here difficult rules, new rules very hard for asylum seek. but 0bada insisted he knew no—one in europe. the family was determined to be reunited in england.

and so to calais. this was filmed hours before he drowned. 0bada's long journey nearly over. back in syria, his parents reacted to his death, telling us they wanted to see 0bada's body before he's buried. it was left to 0bada's brother in london to acknowledge the family's own role in what happened. he was very young... yes. ..to be making such a long, dangerous trip. yes. do you feel guilty? yes... in calais, some of those who'd been with 0bada at the end are still waiting for another chance to cross to england. adults judging the risks. not a child who died doing as he'd been asked.

and andrew harding joins me now... how unusual is that a story? not that unusual. _ how unusual is that a story? not that unusual. we _ how unusual is that a story? iirrt that unusual. we know thousands of children, including unaccompanied children, including unaccompanied children, make the crossing notjust across the channel but across the mediterranean, too. it's worth pointing out that people watching that report may legitimately ask why don't people stop in spain, in italy, in france, and germany once they have crossed from africa, from they have crossed from africa, from the middle east? the fact is that the middle east? the fact is that the vast majority of people do. they stay in those countries. 30,000 people last year who crossed in small boats normally do so for two reasons, very much like 0bada and his brother, they do so for work and family. work because they believe, and there is some evidence to back this up, it is easy to get work here in britain when you don't have the

necessary id and registration documents that employers tend to ask for on the continent. and family, of course. as we have seen with the 0bada and his brother, they already have relatives here. that is the pull factor of england, they want to join them and also the push factor that you often see with families who are left behind in syria, elsewhere, who are hoping that by sending their children, their youngsters, to somewhere safer, that they may then be able to follow that same pathway. hence the pressure on these children, why they are in a position where they will take these enormous risks. �* . . ~ where they will take these enormous risks. �* . ., ~ , ., the prime minister has set out plans to ban disposable vapes to try to protect children's health. the new law would also stop vapes being marketed to children using different flavours and packaging. there's been a sharp rise in the number of under 18s using vapes in the last three years — despite it being illegal to sell them to children. 0ur health editor hugh pym has the details. this is all about children's health, preventing future harm, trying to stop the supply of vapes

to under 18s. yeah, they look like they're sweets. today, the prime minister met pupils at horton academy in darlington. so, will be measures be in place before the election? this is not about politics and elections, this is about what i believe to be right for the long term of the country. this is something that... although some people want it implemented very quickly. yeah, i think this is something that, whenever it comes in, will have benefits for years and decades to come, so it's not about an election. it's about doing what's right for the long term of the country, for our nhs, for our children. rogue retailers are selling to under—18s and imported vapes, some containing toxic chemicals, are getting onto the streets. trading standards have called for more resources. 30 billion for enforcement was announced in october, and trading standards still haven't received their share, what's the delay? well, this is going out notjust to trading standards to our other enforcement agencies like border force because we want to tackle this at every aspect of this. there's a coherent and comprehensive approach to this. don't trading standards

need it really urgently? yeah, and they are getting it, but it's notjust about money, it's also about power. it's also about powers. so, when i've spoken to trading standards officers, the thing that they've also said to me is they want it to be easier for them to levy fines on retailers if they see something happening that isn't right. some of the peoples who met the pm gave me their views. some of the pupils who met the pm gave me their views. they promote these vapes that have these colours and lights and they're quite appealing to young people because they are sort of like toys. disposable ones you often see outside of schools and stuff. and they've been smashed up by the side of the road and it| really damages the environment. do you think they should have acted sooner? yeah. yes, definitely. now it'sjust become reality, i it's just like when you see them doing it, you're like, "all right, 0k". - last year, matthew carpenter, a head teacher in kidderminster showed us vape sensors in his school and revealed his concerns about confiscated vapes. how does he see the new plan? the announcement talks about protecting children's lives, so i think taking steps around the use of vapes and disposable vapes to protect children is a really big step.

child health experts have welcomed the crackdown. as a children's doctor and as a parent of two children myself, i'm absolutely delighted with the news today. vaping has tripled in the last three years amongst children and young people and most of them tell us that the main way in which they get hold of their vapes and the way they use it is through disposable vapes. but the industry says vaping has an important part to play. the key is to enable smokers| to access the materially safer product, which is vaping, . whilst also stopping youths to access these products - that they were never designed for. labour says it will support the measures, though it argues they should have been introduced two years ago. what follows now will be consultation on the detail of how to restrict flavours and packaging. hugh pym, bbc news, darlington. the body of a baby girl has been found in a pub toilet in west yorkshire. officers were called to the three horseshoes in 0ulton, near rothwell, yesterday afternoon. police believe the baby was stillborn. they have appealed to

the mother to come forward and get medical attention. the family of the students and the caretaker killed in the attacks in nottingham last year have called for a public inquiry into their deaths. i9—year—olds barnaby webber and grace 0'malley—kumar and 65—year—old ian coates were all stabbed to death injune. last week, the man who killed them — valdo calocane — was given a hospital order, rather than being jailed for their deaths. navtej johal reports. from feeling powerless to the corridors of power. the families of barnaby webber, grace 0'malley—kumar and ian coates feel let down. today they had the chance to tell those in charge about how they can make amends and tonight they have been meeting with the prime minister and secretaries of state at downing street. ~ . ., ., street. we are grateful for their time and we _ street. we are grateful for their time and we had _ street. we are grateful for their time and we had a _ street. we are grateful for their time and we had a decent - street. we are grateful for their l time and we had a decent amount street. we are grateful for their - time and we had a decent amount of time and we had a decent amount of

king charles has left hospital after spending three nights there being treated for an enlarged prostate. the princess of wales also left the same hospital this morning after undergoing abdominal surgery. the king waved to members of the public as he left the private london clinic this afternoon alongside the queen. buckingham palace said he would now have a period of "private recuperation". let's speak with our royal correspondent daniela relph. king charles and catherine out of the same hospital on the same day that very different departures. yes from the that very different departures. is; from the king that public departure. walking out, waving at the crud crowd, the queen at his side. buckingham palace said the king wanted to thank medical staff. it was different for the princess of wales. she left away from the public eye and was driven from here back to windsor. her spokesperson said she

was making good progress and wanted to thank the medical team and the dedicated team of nurses who looked after her. there is a period of recuperation for both. we are not expecting to see the king carry out any engagements for a month. it will be longerfor the any engagements for a month. it will be longer for the princess of wales. we don't expect to see her until after easter. our top story this evening: and could oscars history be made? coming up on bbc news. the fa lost investigation after trouble erupted at the country derby. after violence broke out in the stands.

two more people have been arrested in connection with the deaths of two teenagers in bristol at the weekend. 16—year—old max dixon and 15—year—old mason rist were attacked on saturday in knowle west. officers say two men aged 20 and 22 are being questioned along with a 44—year—old man and 15—year—old boy who were already in custody. from bristol, danjohnson reports. this is one family dealing with the worst possible impact of knife crime. a mum and sisters seeing the love this community has shown their 16—year—old, max dixon who was stabbed here late on saturday night alongside his friend, mason rist, was just 15. who was just 15. someonejump in the car, the car has sped off... julia lives a few doors down. he just went flat down on his face. with that, ijust grabbed my dressing gown and ran out.

i just sat with him and tried to reassure him he was going to be all right. what did you say to him? we've got help coming now and the police will be here and the ambulance is coming, just stay with us. rubbing his face. at the community centre where residents met to share their worries today, the bleed kit — hints at the violence on this estate. and it is young people who face the threat. i'm so shocked that these postcodes walls have come to this, where two innocent little boys to lose their lives. over the years, it's got much worse than it used to be when i was - younger. yeah. you used to be able to walk from here too, like i said, i over there without a care in - the world and now you're constantly looking over your shoulder. people here also talk about services that have been cut, funding that's been withdrawn, and a sense that this community is being neglected. but the police are denying that void is being filled by gang

rivalries and violence. people have pride in the _ neighbourhoods they come from and that is part of their identityj but i don't believe that this is rooted in a gang war, as you say. he - people want to know why these two young lives were lost. danjohnson, bbc news, bristol. thousands of french farmers have blocked motorways around paris and other parts of france in an ongoing protest at government and european union policies which they say mean they are struggling to make a living. they are unhappy about a reduction in diesel fuel subsidies for their tractors and a range of other green policies which they claim make farming uncompetitive. bethany bell has more. bales of hay block a motorway outside paris. behind, stretches a long line of tractors. farmers are angry about low food prices. they say the recent push by the

government to bring down costs for consumers has left them struggling to cope. they also complain about too much red tape. translation: we are all in favour— too much red tape. translation: we are all in favour of— too much red tape. translation: we are all in favour of changing _ too much red tape. translation: we are all in favour of changing our- are all in favour of changing our environmental practices. but there needs to be a levelling playing field with other country. they can't force extreme policies on us and then allow imported products that don't meet the same standards. we have been driving with farmers in this convoy which has halted on one of the main motor ways outside paris. there is a lot of anger here and people say they are going to stay as long as it takes. france's prime minister has made a first offer of concessions, keeping the subsidies on fuel for farm vehicles. but it is not enough for the unions.

the government are concerned the farmers' anger could translate into the far right. this man said he was joining the protest on behalf of his son—in—law who runs a large stables near by. we need to be able to live from our work he said, the next time i vote it will be for the extremist. many say the future of european farming is at stake. if you try to search for anything to do with the pop star taylor swift on twitter — now called x — you'll find nothing at all. it has all been blocked after fake explicit images of her spread across the social media site — with one image apparently being viewed more than 47 million times before it was taken down. it's thought artificial intelligence was used to create the pictures of her — they are called deep fake images —

they're usually pornographic and they are almost always of women, as our technology editor zoe kleinman reports. taylor swift, global megastar, award—winning songwriter, billionaire. she's used to the spotlight, but this time it's fake images of her which have gone viral. the images don't come up in google search. and you can't search for taylor swift at all on x, formerly twitter, at the moment. the platform's blocked her name in a bid to stop more people from finding the pictures. taylor's fans called out the abuse online. but what do you do if you don't have the enormous platform of a superstar? screenshot absolutely everything. the names of the accounts that you see that are spreading this particular, like, non—consensual deepfake. all the websites, if you can get the date in the image, or if you have a smartphone, you should be able to record the date, this is going to be really, really important for you. if you feel it's too much i do really seriously recommend

reaching out to someone that can help you manage this. it can become a full time investigative job keeping an eye on this kind of content. and you really need to protect yourself before you take all this information to the authorities. how easy is it to make a convincing fake? well, none of these are real. i created them in a few minutes using a free service and simple prompts like american cheerleader and boy with balloon. many of these products won't let you make images of actual people, but it isn't impossible. we use the term deepfake to describe ai—generated images, video, and audio that make it look like someone real is doing something they haven't and wouldn't. and it's traumatic for their victims. a lot of the ai—generated images often have a kind of plasticky, kind of hyper—real, sort of feel to them that looks a bit uncanny still. textures are maybe smoothed too much, certain angles look a bit strange and also certain kind of body parts — although it's got much better, hands are still areas that these models struggle to generate convincingly. there's no law against deepfakes in the us. in the uk, the sharing of deepfake porn became illegal last year under the new online safety act. zoe kleinman, bbc news.

the actor turned politician laurence fox has lost a libel case after describing two men as paedophiles on social media. he was sued by a former trustee of stonewall, simon blake, and a drag artist, colin seymour, over a dispute on twitter in october 2020. a high courtjudge the comments were seriously harmful, defamatory and baseless . damages will be determined at a later date. the russian figure skater kamila valieva, who helped her country win olympic gold, has been banned for four years by the sport's court of arbitration. the court ruled in favour of an appeal by the world anti—doping agency and her suspension is backed dated to december 2021 when she tested positive for a banned substance. that means russia is likely to be stripped of its gold medal in the team event in the beijing winter olympics. very little is known about how great

white sharks reproduce. however, one youtuber and drone operator may have taken a video of something never seen before. it's thought this could be the youngest great white shark ever recorded. the observation has been published today in the journal of environmental biology of fishes. our reporter in california james clayton, has more. this is victoria. what she doesn't know is that she's swimming at a beach with four great white sharks in the water. we only know this because carlos has been flying his drone here for the last few hours. he's out, look at that thing, you can see it good. carlos is a youtuber and shark fanatic who is frankly amazing at finding sharks with his drone. it's dusk — not a good time to be swimming near great white sharks. so we just warn her now before she goes back in? it's likely that victoria would have been fine swimming without our intervention. but when carlos thinks it's a bad idea to go in the water, it's probably best to get out.

amazing! so from here, you'd have no idea there was a great white shark out there, because it's almost impossible to see it. that's why drones are so important, because you have to be almost on top of it to actually see them. you're basically viewing the sharks through a magnifying glass that they don't know who is watching them. one local marine biologist was with carlos when they stumbled across something they never seen before. the female just was acting erratically. i she dove, disappeared, and guess what came up from underneath? l this little bitty white, _ almost albino looking white shark/ almost albino looking white shark. so it's called a white shark, you know, that's the species, it's the white shark, but this shark was actually completely white in colour. the fins, they're differently shaped. they�* re more rounded. i'm like, "that's not that's not an older white shark, that's a very young white shark, this could be a newborn." i'm like, "oh, my gosh, oh, my goodness, this could be a newborn." other experts accept this could be a historic discovery, but they need more evidence.

the problem that i have as a scientist is it's what we call a sample size of one. and a lot of people ask, "well, what would it take to convince you that that this is a pupping area? and i would say i would need to see babies coming out of a female. but what everyone can agree on is that drones are playing a huge role in our understanding of these animals. james clayton, bbc news, california. lily gladstone could make oscars history if she wins best actress at the academy awards — she would be the the first native american woman to do so. she starred in martin scorsese's epic western saga killers of the flower moon, which has picked up ten nominations in all. our culture editor katie razzall has been talking with her. killers of the flower moon tells the true story of the systematic murder over years of dozens of members of the osage tribe.

that's how you are. its lead, lily gladstone, has already won a golden globe and is the first native american ever nominated for a best actress oscar. 96 years of oscars. i'm grateful. it's about time. when i accepted the golden globe, that's the other thing that came to mind immediately is it's circumstantial that i was the first one to win that in the category, but it doesn't belong to me. i'm standing on so many shoulders. more than a century ago, the osage got rich after oil was struck on their land. lily's father recounted that history of vast wealth as she was growing up on the blackfeet reservation. i do remember him telling me about osages running out of gas and going and buying another rolls royce and, you know, just buying a new car. we're still warriors. but those riches brought a reign of terror. lily plays mollie burkhart, a real osage, whose mother and three sisters were murdered. he's not in good shape. she won't last. her husband, ernest, played by leonardo dicaprio, colluded

with his powerful uncle here, robert de niro, to funnel the family's oil riches their way. this was supposed to l a suicide, you dumbell. martin scorsese originally had an fbi investigator as the main character, but they realised his epic must come from the osage perspective. every aspect of the whole script changed because of osage contribution to it and was made the better for it. i've never seen a film like this before, and marty said recently several times he feels like this is the most important film he's ever made. lily was five when she decided she wanted to act. not seeing herself represented on screen, it was all down to the ewoks in return of thejedi and these words from her parents when an ewok was killed. "oh, it's ok, honey, it's not real, it's an actor." and i wasjust like, "oh, oh, so if i want to be an ewok, i need to become an actor!" maybe one reason i resonated with ewok so much, because that's like a story of indigenous resistance and survival. voted most likely to win an oscar

while at high school, next month 5hat could come true. katie razzall, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. very warm in scotland yesterday? yes. a big change today in the highlands. yet the temperature reached 20 degrees. and then there was a frost last night and today even with a bit of sunshine, temperatures were nearer six. the highest temperatures today were in cambridgeshire, where the sunshine broke through and we got iii celsius. between those, we have had an area of rain affecting wales, northern england and southern scotland. some heavy rain over the hills and maybe some snow over the tops of the northern pennines could lead to icy conditions. most of the wet weather moving away by the end of the night. a lot of cloud and temperatures up in england and wales. a different story in scotland ashes wide sprez

—— widespread frost. tomorrow a cloudy start for england and wales. still some rain. sunnier skies for scotland and northern ireland and that sunshine will move south. keep some cloud in the south—east and temperatures may get into double figures. but eight or nine will be nearer the mark. there could be the odd sure sure in the north—west of scotland. wetter and windier weather in scotland on wednesday. this front coming in, widespread gales into wednesday for scotland. gusts of 80mph in the north of scotland and squally on that band of rain and that weather will sweep into northern ireland and northern england. after a chilly start in the south, the winds are lighter and temperatures may make 11 degrees. the front bringing that

rain will move south.
