service personnel will be repatriated tomorrow, and joe biden will meet their coffins, and their deaths have put significant pressure on him to respond robustly to what happened. what we are learning is that that response will target iranians systems and individuals inside iraq and syria, but not iran itself, not targets inside iran, which some republicans have called for. the reason the administration is not doing that is to avoid escalation. they are also saying they will take account of the weather, but be clear that american missiles do not care about the weather, this is a way of trying to avoid civilian repercussions. we have had those attacks, of course, on sunday, we are now at thursday, they have been telegraphing this response for some time. that may be intentional, to give people a chance to get out of the way and get some

of their equipment out of the way. that of course opensjoe biden up to the accusation that he is bending over backwards not to cause too much death and injury, in the way that perhaps the militants who killed those soldiers did not.— perhaps the militants who killed those soldiers did not. gary, thank ou. iran—backed houthi fighters in yemen are continuing to launch attacks on commercial shipping in the red sea. last night, the united states launched further limited strikes on houthi positions there. bbc verify has been analysing the impact of these strikes. there have been 11 sets of strikes in yemen in the past six weeks, many of them limited, the most recent last night, focused on houthi military targets. the uk has been involved in two sets of strikes so far, but are they working? let's start back in november, in this area come off the coast of yemen. this is where houthis backed by iran have been launching attacks on ships. the first few mostly here and the red sea, many near this pinch point. here is an example when houthis seized a part israeli owned cargo

ship and released this footage. after the initial attacks, the us and uk launched air strikes on the houthis on the 11th of january. there were more joint strikes ii there were more joint strikes 11 days later too. the us has also launched several attacks of its own and intercepted this vessel, which it says was transporting iranian weapons to the houthis. all the while, though, the attacks continue. they are starting to move south into the gulf of aden. one example is this tanker with links to the uk, which was set on

labour has been setting out its plans for the economy if it wins the next election. speaking at an event for business leaders, the shadow chancellor, rachel reeves, pledged not to increase corporation tax as part of a drive to win business support ahead of the general election. she said she would cap the tax at 25% but could cut it to boost competitiveness. she was less clear about a commitment to spend 28 billion showers less clear about a commitment to spend money on green initiatives. our business editor is with me now. how did the plans go down? figs with me now. how did the plans go down? �* , with me now. how did the plans go down? . , ., , , , , down? as we get to the business end of this electoral _ down? as we get to the business end of this electoral cycle, _ down? as we get to the business end of this electoral cycle, she _ down? as we get to the business end of this electoral cycle, she was - of this electoral cycle, she was under a little bit of pressure on that pledge, how credible is it that she is going to spend £28 billion a year on green initiatives. will spend £28 billion a year on green initiatives. she has been criticised flip—flopping on those issues, including where the bankers' bonuses should be held, and policy announcements were about the tax rates and tax breaks introduced by

police have got the image of the man they are looking for after a corrosive substance was thrown at a woman and two children last night. this �*70s funk supergroup are making a comeback — coming up on bbc news — a debut for england's new spinner, shoaib bashir. the 20—year—old will make his debut for ben stokes in the second test against india tomorrow, with england 1—0 up in the series. plans to let the killer spent time outside his secure hospital. in what would be a shock move in the world of formula one, the bbc understands that the seven—time world champion sir lewis hamilton is poised to switch teams to drive for ferrari next year. for the past 12 years, the briton has been with mercedes, where he's won nearly all his titles. hamilton is widely considered one of the greatest drivers of all time, as our sports correspondent, natalie pirks, reports.

mercedes is a team where hamilton has enjoyed his greatest success. but now it seems he is ready for one more chapter, only this time in red. welcome to my first day at mercedes. hejoined mercedes in 2013 welcome to my first day at mercedes. he joined mercedes in 2013 and welcome to my first day at mercedes. hejoined mercedes in 2013 and has always said it has felt like home. so much so, he signed a new £100 million contract last year to stay until 2025. million contract last year to stay until2025. but million contract last year to stay until 2025. but it appears he will now only stay for one season before joining a team who have been long—term admirers, and it is no surprise why. there hamilton has won a joint record seven drivers' championship titles, an achievement he shares with michael schumacher. six of them have been with mercedes and all came inside an astonishing seven—year spell of dominance. hamilton also holds the records for the most wins and the most pole positions and the most podium finishes in this sport. as the longest serving formula one team,

ferrari holds allure and romance but they have not had a championship winning driver since 2007. it is like a dream — winning driver since 2007. it is like a dream come _ winning driver since 2007. it 3 like a dream come true for him because going to ferrari is everything. it is so romantic driving for them, the atmosphere, the fans in italy, they will embrace lewis. a fantastic opportunity to buy out with his eighth world title, it would be incredible.— it would be incredible. things did not no it would be incredible. things did not go brilliantly _ it would be incredible. things did not go brilliantly last _ it would be incredible. things did not go brilliantly last season. - it would be incredible. things did not go brilliantly last season. in. not go brilliantly last season. in fact, hamilton has not won a race since 2021. leaving the loving arms of the family at 40 years old one last shot at history as a script straight out of hollywood. one might call this his very own italian job. mps have passed legislation to implement a deal aimed at restoring power sharing in northern ireland. the plan, which was published on wednesday, will mean no routine checks on goods crossing from great britain to northern ireland.

eu leaders have unanimously agreed on a £43 billion aid package for ukraine — at a summit in brussels. there had been fears hungary's prime minister viktor orban, known for his ties to the russian president vladimir putin, would block the deal. ukraine says it's running short of funds and munitions. farmers from across the european union have taken their protest to brussels today — blockading roads and burning tyres as eu leaders met for a summit there. eu farmers have been protesting for weeks against "costly" regulation and cheaper imports — from countries like canada, morocco and ukraine. our paris correspondent andrew harding reports. from early this morning, farmers from across europe gathered in the belgian capital. their target — the european union's headquarters. the farmers are, as you can see, angry and increasingly united by concerns about cheaper imports, rising prices and new eu

regulations designed to help tackle climate change. without agriculture, without farmers, there is not life. we produce a food. the food is life. in france today, more signs of anger. motorways blocked by farmers insisting their way of life is becoming unviable. some here huddled around a television to hear the french prime minister promise more reforms to support local farmers. but would it be enough to prompt an end to these protests? the police here are treading very softly. they know that what these farmers are doing is overwhelmingly supported by the french public, that these protests reflect broader frustrations here with the rising cost of living. in a medieval town outside paris, this couple summed up the mood. "it's not just about farmers," said luis herzog, "it's about the fact

that we're all having problems right now." "we french like our food," alain added, "so we need to stand by those who make our wine, who produce our meat." across the nearby river, eve showed me his grain store. new eu environment rules mean he now has to set aside 4% of his land. he's not happy. "as a result," he says, "i lose 100 tonnes of wheat. that's the equivalent of 300,000 baguettes that never get made. it's the same for all my neighbours." this afternoon, though, a breakthrough. french farmers unions agreeing to halt their protests, at least for now. andrew harding, bbc news, paris.
