sport, and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's gavin. hi there. to the football first, and chelsea are hoping to move into the top half of the premier league table with a win struggling crystal palace. palace have literallyjust scored there so it is not going to well for chelsea. an absolute cracker for crystal palace who are up 1—0. palace fans have been protesting over the club's run of results. they lost 4—1 at brighton last weekend and came into the match five points off the relegation places. if it goes as planned, they could be a little further away from the relegation places, i should say. one match in la liga to bring you, too, as bottom side almeria, who are still in search of their first win this season, host top—four—chasing athletic bilbao. it's currently goalless there. bilbao would jump above atletico

madrid into the champions league positions with victory. almeria are rock bottom with just six points so far this season and are 1a points from safety. and juventus could close the gap to leaders inter in serie a by taking all three points against udinese. currently 1—0 udinese there. juventus looking to bounce back from defeat to the league leaders inter last week. udinese could do with a win. they're just a place above the bottom three. going well for them at the moment in that match there. three weeks ago, a shock 4—0 defeat to equatorial guinea left the hosts ivory coast on the brink of an early exit from the africa cup of nations. they even sacked their manager mid—tournament. on sunday, though, they were crowned champions after beating nigeria 2—1 in the final. and this is the reaction in abijan on monday. tens of thousands taking to the streets to celebrate ivory coast's first afcon title since 2015 and third in total. they're the first tournament hosts to win the nations cup since egypt lifted the trophy in 2006. ivory coast spent more than $1 billion on hosting the tournament, the governement saying it's

investing a similar amount on improving infrastructure in the country. ian williams sent this report from the celebrations earlier. these ivory coast players are of course now national heroes after last night's 2—1 victory over nigeria in the final. it means the elephants have now won three nations cup titles. they're the first hosts to win on home soil since 2006. of course, that has made a lot of people in this country very, very happy. ivory coast has spent over $1 billion on hosting, yes on new stadiums, but other infrastructure projects as well, such as roads, hospitals, things like that. people questioned whether it was worth it, but for a country that was torn apart by civil war in the first part of this century, perhaps another great example of the way that sport, and football in particular, can really bring a nation and a people together. we are so proud to celebrate our heroes.

i live in denver, and i decided to come here for the final. now i'm really excited i'm here cos that's the best decision of my life. the tournament was very difficult, but after- our players played very well and, today, we are very happy. - we have to do some parties! it's obligatory! tributes have been pouring in from the world of athletics following the sad news that kelvin kiptum, the marathon record—holder, has been killed in a car accident. the 24—year—old kenyan is said to have been with his coach, who also died in the crash, on a road in western kenya where there is a training base for long—distance runners. it comes just five days after the world governing body world athletics ratified kiptum's record time from his win at the chicago marathon last october. he smashed the world record by more than half a minute, running it in a time of two hours and 35 seconds. he also won the london

marathon last year. and that's all the sport for now. back with more later on, we will see you then. gavin, thanks for that. earlier on the programme, introduced a palestinian envoy who was introduced as ambassador of the state of palestine to the you ok, but we should have introduced him as the head of the palestinian mission to the uk. the german chancellor, olaf scholz, has called for a massive increase in the european production of armaments. speaking at a major new arms manufacturing plant, mr scholz said those who wanted peace had to be able to deter aggressors. his remarks follow donald trump's election campaign comment that he would encourage russia to attack any nato country that hadn't spent enough on defence. the firm mr scholz was visiting, rheinmetall, says it will invest more than $300 million in the new factory, but the chief executive said it would take a decade before europe was ready to defend itself.

it's two years this month since russia invaded ukraine. back then, ukrainians rushed to sign up, a whole nation was mobilised and western aid and weapons poured in. two years on, and there's blocked funding in the us, an ammunition shortage and problems recruiting soldiers. our eastern europe correspondent sarah rainsford reports on the struggle ukraine is having to find men for the front—line. these are the patrols many ukrainian men now dread. conscription officers like this man hunting for draft dodgers. ukraine needs a lot more soldiers, but they're not flooding to the front—lines any more. so some have to be caught and cajoled. pavlo lost his arm near bakhmut in a mortar attack, but he wanted to go on serving his country.

so now he looks for other men who can still fight. translation: there'sl a full-scale war, but it's still like people don't care. we need everyone to come together like they did on the first day. everyone was united then, like brothers. but when i ask about friends who've served with him, pavlo tells me there's almost no—one left from his company. translation: everyone's either injured like me or dead. - when the russians occupied lilia's town, her son was captured and tortured. when sergey escaped, he signed up to fight for ukraine. he's now been badly injured, but his mother is afraid he'll recover and go back to the front. sergey says his friends there need him. translation: while he's in hospital,

i can sleep calmly- — when he's on the front—line, i can't sleep. so i really shouldn't say this — i'm glad he's not there at the front. every ukrainian town now has cemeteries like this, filled with the soldiers honoured by their country as heroes and mourned deeply by their families. vladislav was killed by a mine near bakhmut. he was 22. ena hasn't put his photo on the grave yet because she can't quite accept her only son has gone, but she's proud of him. translation: i believe my son died doing the right thing. _ when i ask about those who avoid signing up, ena doesn'tjudge them. translation: do you think my son wasn't afraid? - i was afraid, too, when he went. everyone is afraid of dying.

but maybe being enslaved by russia is scarier. - she calls it a fight to protect ukraine's freedom, but the cost is growing. sarah rainsford, bbc news. police in delhi have banned all public gatherings ahead of a threatened march on india's capital on tuesday by thousands of protesting farmers. it's happening in the lead—up to national elections in which millions of farms form a powerful voting bloc. security forces have been deployed and concrete barricades erected on roads into delhi from neighbouring states. members of more than 200 farming unions are planning to converge on the capital demanding greater protections, including guaranteed minimum crop prices agreed by narendra modi's government after another protest in 2021. more now from nitin srivastava,

bbc india correspondent in delhi. india's capital is preparing again. preparing again for a massive farmers�* protest which might start on the 13th of february. this happened only two years back, when hundreds of thousands of farmers had laid siege to borders in delhi, bordering states of punjab were sealed, traffic was obstructed. the farmers were demanding the repeal of a farmers law passed by the government in 2020. now they plan to start protesting again from the 13th of february, asking what they left back then. and the demands are the same. the farmers want the government to guarantee a minimum support price for their annual yield of crops. they also want pensions to the farmers and 200 unions across the country also want better working conditions in the farms.

and better promotion of their crops in terms of foreign imports and exports. what's important to be remembered is the fact that after almost a year—long agitation, the government had repealed the laws back in 2021 after india's top court had intervened. but the farmers say nothing much has changed and the government is still not serious. while the government says it is going to be in negotiations with the farmer to avoid a confrontation. meanwhile, the capital, delhi, has banned all processions, weddings and funerals will need special permission from the government for at least one month, traffic advice has been issued while the government and administration is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that huge numbers of farmers do not manage to reach the protesting sites, which has been earmarked in case

the negotiations, the talks with the governments fail, the farmers are really adamant. now, citizens of delhi and the adjoining areas are really, really bothered as to what the next month is going to be like for them if that happens again. for more on this let's go to natasha behl, an associate professor at arizona state university. thank you very much for coming on the programme. thank you very much for coming on the programme-— thank you very much for coming on the programme. thank you for having me. how significant _ the programme. thank you for having me. how significant is _ the programme. thank you for having me. how significant is this _ the programme. thank you for having me. how significant is this if - the programme. thank you for having me. how significant is this if we - the programme. thank you for having me. how significant is this if we do i me. how significant is this if we do see larae me. how significant is this if we do see large numbers _ me. how significant is this if we do see large numbers of _ me. how significant is this if we do see large numbers of farmers - me. how significant is this if we do see large numbers of farmers on i see large numbers of farmers on the streets again? this see large numbers of farmers on the streets again?— streets again? this is very significant. _ streets again? this is very significant, and _ streets again? this is very significant, and what - streets again? this is very significant, and what it. streets again? this is very significant, and what it is| streets again? this is veryl significant, and what it is is streets again? this is very - significant, and what it is is in many— significant, and what it is is in many ways— significant, and what it is is in many ways a continuation of the farmers— many ways a continuation of the farmers protested 2020 when we saw sit ends _ farmers protested 2020 when we saw sit ends of _ farmers protested 2020 when we saw sit ends of about 300,000 supporters on the _ sit ends of about 300,000 supporters on the outskirts of delhi who were agitating _ on the outskirts of delhi who were agitating to repeal the farm loss. and successfully repealed them. and this is— and successfully repealed them. and this is one _ and successfully repealed them. and this is one of the few kind of

around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. after almost ten years as a cornerstone for the local lgbtq+ community, the glory has decided to move out of its home in haggerston. the developers, they want us to stay, but the building work schedule means that we can't operate in the same way that we'd need to. the profit margins aren't high. the cost of living crisis, coming out of the pandemic, the expense of goods because of brexit — it's a firestorm. the black cap in camden closed in 2015just days after it was declared an asset of community value to block attempts to develop the building into luxury flats. alex green and his fellow campaigners have been coming here every saturday since then, and they've just had some good news. the black cap will be reopening unless something terrible happens. night czar amy lame says city hall is working with camden council to reopen the venue and is committed to ensuring london's

night life thrives. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. days after el salvador�*s president, nayib bukele, was re—elected, the bbc has been granted rare access to a mega prison that has become a symbol of the president's controversial war against gang violence. the government says the facility, known as the centre for the confinement of terrorism, can hold up to 40,000 inmates and has no outside recreational space. a recent human rights watch report criticised widespread human rights violations, including mass arbitrary detention and ill treatment. bbc mundo's leire ventas reports. the moment president nayib bukele claimed victory. under his presidency, el salvador�*s murder rate has plummeted.

and he owes his success at the polls to his crackdown on crime. nothing symbolises the success and the controversy of bukele's security policy as this mega prison. days after his re—election, the bbc was invited on a carefully orchestrated guided tour to show us the faces of nayib bukele's war on gangs. our guide, the prison director, was happy to appear on camera, but asked us not to name him. prison workers are scanned on arrival. no family visitors are allowed. the guards have plenty of firepower. we are told not to speak to the inmates or even make eye contact with them. the government says these prisons

can hold up to 40,000 high—ranking gang members, whose actions, it says, have led to decades of bloodshed and terror in el salvador. the director picks out five inmates for us, two of them kidnapped, tortured and murdered four members of the armed forces. this is perhaps the most controversial part of nayib bukele's crackdown on gangs. a mega prison that holds thousands, of which human rights organisations have said is a black hole for prisoners' rights. last year, the bbc obtained documents that were shared with us anonymously by an engineer who was involved in the prison's construction. these documents show that if the prison was at full capacity, each inmate would have just 0.58 square metres of space, well below recommendations.

the banks are metal plates, and each cell has two toilets in the open. despite extensive criticism from human rights groups, bukele and his government claim the prison is an effective salvadoran answer to a salvadoran problem. leire ventas, bbc news, san salvador. as we heard in sport, one of the biggest nights on the sporting calender, the super bowl, has ended with the kansas city chiefs winning back—to—back titles, but the event was made even bigger this year by the attendance of pop superstar taylor swift, supporting her boyfriend, travis kelce, as his team lifted the trophy. the worlds of american sport and entertainment have collided this year with news of the relationship. now we go live to alex suskind, who is a senior editor at vulture, an entertainment news magazine. thank you very much for coming on

i'm just here for taylor swift and travis kelce, kind of acknowledging that it was a kind of big cultural moment it felt like, or am i getting ahead of myself? is it a bit too much? ., ~' ahead of myself? is it a bit too much? ., ~ . v ahead of myself? is it a bit too much? ., ,, ., �*, ., much? no, i think that's right. you can even tell— much? no, i think that's right. you can even tell about _ much? no, i think that's right. you can even tell about you _ much? no, i think that's right. you can even tell about you yourself i can even tell about you yourself asking me, someone who does not work in sportsjournalism, questions about the nfl. i think the fact that she was involved with travis and at each of his games really turned into a cultural, this cultural touchstone, excuse me, that it has not been in quite some time for a lot of casualfans not been in quite some time for a lot of casual fans will stop indeed, alex can muster but there is one to ask you about something else. somewhat overshadowed by taylor swift's attendence was the halftime show from pop star usher, who delivered a hit heavy halftime show at sunday's super bowl with help from will.i.am, alicia keys, ludacris and a pair of rollerskates. the performance taking advantage of the 45—year—old's dancing skills and sizable back catalogue.

but there was yet another superstar also stealing headlines, beyonce. she announced the keenly awaited part two of her renaissance project during a super bowl advertisement for us communications giant verizon. in the ad, beyonce was shown trying unsuccessfully to break the internet via a series of stunts before adding this line at the very end. music. wow, verizon didn't break. you ain't going to break me. still works. 0k, they ready. drop the new music. "drop the new music," beyonce says. so what does that all mean? immediately following, beyonce released two new country—style songs titled texas hold �*em and i6 carriages. alex suskind is still with me.

what do you make of this, with beyonce, this as a stunt, as an idea, as music, what do you make of it? ., .., idea, as music, what do you make of it? ., . ., idea, as music, what do you make of it? ., _ ., ., it? you can come by and all three. there is always _ it? you can come by and all three. there is always a _ it? you can come by and all three. there is always a bit _ it? you can come by and all three. there is always a bit of _ it? you can come by and all three. there is always a bit of a - it? you can come by and all three. there is always a bit of a stunt i there is always a bit of a stunt aspect to what beyonce does but that's not to say everything she does is not very well thought out. renaissance, the album she put out two years ago, it was already planned to be a three act album. it was rumoured that there might be a country version coming either on the second or third act, so fans were sort of already mentally prepped for something like that to unfold. i don't think folks were prepared for it to unfold during the super bowl. there was some rumblings that she might announce a residency at that sphere, the new las vegas venue in a course that did not come to pass. instead it was two new singles and an album announcement, and i guess the best way to describe it was a collective internet freak out among her fans and also collective internet freak out among herfans and also in our collective internet freak out among her fans and also in our newsroom. collective internet freak out among herfans and also in our newsroom. i her fans and also in our newsroom. i bet, and if you listen to the songs?

we're only going to be adding to those rainfall accumulations, too, as we head through this week. big changes on the way. it will be turning wetter and also milder from the south—west. so the cooler air still in place through the day on monday. temperatures close to the seasonal average, and then that milder air comes streaming through, displacing that colder air to the far north of scotland for still a few days to come. now, today, we've been seeing this little feature just run west to east, piling some showers into scotland. again, some of the showers wintry over the tops of the hills. and we'll still see some wintry showers over around 200 metres overnight tonight. again, a few showers just pushing into northern ireland and maybe through the pennines and into western wales as well. cloudier towards the south tonight, so here it's going to be a milder start to the day tomorrow, but still a frost possible from the north of england and northwards. quite a sharp frost, i think, across parts of scotland. now, as we head through tomorrow, we look out towards the south—west to see these weather fronts just push that milder air in. so temperatures will be rising throughout the day. there'll be brisk south—westerly

winds and quite a lot of thickening cloud as well. it's a warm front, some mist and murk. outbreaks of rain on and off, the odd heavy downpour at times. that rain eventually pushing into the south—east of england and east anglia as we head through the afternoon, the bright start to the day across northern ireland, but it will cloud over here. the rain will arrive, maybe some cloud into southern scotland, but it's across scotland where we'll see probably the day's best sunshine. still some wintry showers, though, over the tops of the hills. and then that warm front continues to push northwards into scotland as we head through the day on wednesday. a sharp frost to start the day across northern scotland and then some of this rain likely to turn to snow as it bumps into the colder air. further south, outbreaks of rain on and off. misty, murky out there, some hill fog, maybe a slice of sunshine through the midlands into east anglia and north wales there. but temperatures will start to rise on wednesday to 13—14 degrees in the south, and they could rise even further, perhaps, as we head through thursday. it's generally milder,

wetter for the rest of the week. bye— bye.

hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones. you're watching the context on bbc news. they are happy for being rescued. and i want to say that we, all the families, won't stop until all 134 hostages will be free. for mr netanyahu, the israeli prime minister,

this is something of a vindication for his point of view — which is, to get the hostages back, israel has to use force. it really, we think, _ is impossible to see how you can fight a war amongst these people. there's nowhere for them to go. and on our panel — amanda renteria, former aide to hilary clinton's campaign, and david gauke, former conservative minister. first, though, the latest on bbc news. the international criminal court has said it's "deeply concerned" by the bombardment and potential ground incursion by israeli forces in the southern gaza city of rafah, warning that anyone breaching international law would be held accountable. recent strikes were part of a rescue mission to free two hostages being held by hamas. it's thought around 1.5 million palestinians are currently

sheltering in rafah.
