serious and reminding us all here at what happened in 2021. both sides were well into negotiations until only two days ago are adamant and there seems to be no resolution as of now. delhi authority become a fortress in the last two days. what is also to be remembered is that this capital is a landlocked capital bordering 23 big states and the last time when the year—long process happened in and around the city at the borders, all borders came from the borders, all borders came from the borders, all borders came from the border cites neighbouring at the capitol, and that is the situation the government is trying to avoid. but the farmer said are going to press for their demands, they say they feel betrayed, they say it has been two years since they were promised looking into their demands so the situation remains as serious

space weather and other phenomena on the lunar surface. the australian state of victoria is cleaning up and restoring services after two disasters. unpredictable fires, many sparked by lightning, are said to have destroyed dozens of homes in western victoria. several major blazes are still burning but favourable weather conditions are now helping firefighters. more than 200,000 victorians are still without electricity . it's almost five years since the spire on notre dame cathedral, in paris, collapsed during a devastating fire. since then, the cathedral has been obscured from view, covered in scaffolding as restoration work was undertaken. now a section of the spire is finally visible once again, as hugh scofield reports from paris. it's like the beginning of the end. for the first time in five years, the scaffolding on notre dame is not going up, but coming down — revealing, for now, just the very pinnacle of the new spire, surmounted by a cross

and a statuette of a golden cock, just like the one that disappeared in the blaze. translation: so it's five years since i saw the fire. _ it was a terrible thing for france. when i open the window in the morning now, i can see the spire. it's beautiful and much better than before. the spire is made of oak beams and, for the craftsmen and women, the last task before the scaffolding comes down is cladding the wood in lead — the soft metal malleable enough to show the beauty of what lies beneath. after this phase, it's the rest of the roof that will need to be covered with new safety mechanisms to cut the risk of another fire. when they said after the fire that they'd have the cathedral restored and operational again within five years, there was a great deal of scepticism. well, it's now 2024 and — fair�*s fair — everything does seem on course for the planned opening in december. they're very aware here that the eyes, notjust

of france but of the world, are on the cathedral. its resurrection a much—needed sign of hope. the president of the dominican republic has warned that neighbouring haiti is on the verge of civil war. luis abinader told the un security council that haiti's collapse as a result of gang violence could soon become irreversible, and the dominican republic would fight to avoid being dragged into the same abyss. he called for the immediate deployment of a promised multinational force to haiti. italian climate change activists have plastered images of flooding on the glass panel protecting a botticelli masterpiece. there was no damage to the 15th—century painting birth of venus at the uffizi museum, in florence. police arrested the pair, one of whom accused the italian authorities of preferring to toughen punishments for protestors than work to avert climate disaster. the latest protest comes after parliament increased penalties for anyone

damaging cultural monuments. the us defence secretary has left hospital, where he underwent a non—surgical bladder procedure on monday. the pentagon said lloyd austin would continue to recover at home and had fully resumed his duties. doctors said the issue wasn't related to his prostate cancer operation in december. the white house was kept fully informed of mr austin's treatment. hundreds of volunteers have been helping toads and other amphibians cross the road to get their breeding grounds in lakes and ponds after emerging from their winter hideaways. they follow the same route no matter what's in their way, and always return to where they were born. 0ne road near bath, in the west of england, has been closed by the council for six weeks so the migration can be managed. 0ur correspondent dan johnson reports. if you've got toads on your road, you need toad patrol, an after—dark volunteer protection force. they like it best when it's not too cold, so it's

over 7 degrees, and it's like this — raining. you really have to get your eye in and sort the leaves from the frogs and toads. the daily exercise is running down the road in front of cars and this one, fortunately, wasn't going too fast, so i rescued the toad. it's notjust toads. that's a frog and that's a toad. yeah. a wet evening brings all the amphibians to the pond. if we didn't do it, then i think there would be a lot of casualties down the lane. so we are doing our bit. we are helping these guys down to their lake. it is mating season, but the road poses a risk. it's a slippery one! until these hands help ensure a safe hop across. is it alive? yeah. it's very still. 0h! it's a frog. a dead frog. not everyone makes it, as sisters isadora and iris sadly found out. we're looking for frogs, toads, newts.

they're kind of migrating to where they were born to mate. because of this road here, they get run over. cause of death is clear, but species can be in question. we found a dead frog in the road. it was a toad, iris. i think it was a frog. no, it was definitely toad. no, it was a frog. no, it was definitely a toad. that was a frog. no, there was definitely a toad. it was big, warty and adorable. residents are still using this lane, so kids are discouraged from the nocturnalfrog hunt. they�* re pretty fortunate here because they can actually close the road for six weeks, but that's not possible everywhere. so there are other toad patrols out and about trying to save these guys from the traffic. last year, 115,000 toads and frogs and newts were saved. that's actually quite a lot, if you think about it — that they have individually been picked up and taken across the road by volunteers all around the country just thinking, we need to do something here, we can't have them getting

squashed on the road. so, in here, we've got four toads. before long, it's a deluge. they've had 500 in one night. i was going to put them outjust up the lane a little bit. thousands will be saved over these next few weeks just here alone. you can see him from above. oh, there we go. 0ne. yeah. you didn't want to go in the bucket, now you don't want to go out! another one's released, having made it to safety without croaking. staying in the animal kingdom, there's new evidence suggesting more human—like antics among great apes. scientists say they've compiled the first detailed proof that like to tease each other. video studies of bonobos, chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans showed behaviours injuveniles including elements of surprise and play. evidence of mostly one—sided teasing included hair—pulling, poking and offering an object before whisking it away at the last moment.

last november, sadiq khan was the target of a deepfake audio recording. i control the met police. they will do, as the mayor of london tells them and obey orders. it was deliberately made to give the impression that i'd said what i hadn't said, but it looked and sounded so authentic. you know, we did get concerned very quickly about what impression it may create. the timing explains why the clip went viral. whether or not a pro—palestinian march should take place on saturday, the 11th of november, armistice day, was a source of political tension. the march went ahead, but there were concerns the faked clip fanned tensions at a counter—protest. we almost had serious disorder at that weekend. as it was, were elements of the far right there, police officers were injured, arrests were made. butjust imagine in a different scenario where there's more toxicity or, for example, in a close election, close referenda, times where there's disharmony in a community, the impact a deepfake audio, an ai generated audio video could have. i hunted down the suspected creator of this deepfake, an account named hjb news.

the man behind the profile, henry, called me on the phone. he refused a recorded interview, but he did allow his words to be voiced up by an actor based on my notes. all of the evidence i've found on social media suggests you were the first person who posted it, and if you weren't the first, then at least you were one of the very first. no comment. i'm trying to report just real news. well, except for the fake clip of sadiq khan. well, yeah, but it's not all fake clips. it's not all fake clips. we post news that could be real with a sense of humour. other social media users who played a part in making the clip go viral did show remorse, though. foolishly, and to my. detriment, you know, and shame, i put it out. what was the reaction when you first shared it? well, within an hour, - 200,000 people had seen it. the metropolitan police, who initially said they were investigating the case, dropped it, stating that the faked audio does not constitute a criminal offense.

a clip like this one has both a personal impact and wider repercussions. you've got friends and family who see this stuff and it's deeply upsetting to you. i've got two, two daughters, i've got a wife. it's far too easy now for people to use technology to cause problems. and i criticise my profession for not evolving fast enough to address some of the challenges that this brings. the current laws we have around copyright, ip, the criminal law aren't fit for purpose. and that will be the worry of some politicians as elections unfold across the world this year. how ai technology can be easily manipulated to spread something you never even said. the british retail consortium says the number of violent attacks against uk shop workers rose by 50% last year.

the annual survey saw an average of 1300 incidents, including physical assaults and threats with weapons, recorded every day. it also found that incidents of shoplifting doubled from eight million to more than 16 million. when a child is diagnosed with cancer, it has a devastating impact on the whole family. for debs mitchell, after witnessing how the death of her 9—year—old son tom affected her two daughters, it prompted her to create a sibling tool—kit, with the aim of offering children extra support. alex dunlop has their story. oh, look at you! happy boy. 0n the eve of his sixth birthday, tom appears to be a happy, healthy boy. but two years later, he was diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour. during his gruelling treatment, one can barely imagine the trauma his family went through, not least for tom's young sisters, maddie and evie. we weren't emotionally available for them. we were traumatised by what we were going through. they spent a lot of time in hospital with tom and, you know,

their lives are turned upside down, actually — all siblings — and they're really quite forgotten in this whole journey because it's all about the child who has cancer. which is why the tom's trust charity, co—founded by debs, has just launched a 40—page toolkit to help siblings of children with cancer, who are often left feeling sad, angry and lonely. backed by cancer experts and psychologists, it helps them cope with the treatment and the trauma. around 600 children are diagnosed with a brain tumour every year in the uk. it kills one in three children. of those who survive, 62% are left with lifelong disabilities. camille has had countless rounds of chemo to manage her brain tumour. at home today, in suffolk, with her brotherjude and sister lucia. they support me along the way and they make sure that i'm not nervous and stuff. but it's tough.

you kind ofjust have to like cope in your own ways. there's no real time for being sad and stuff like that, because you have got to always be the child which is the fine one — you know, the grateful one, the one who's got to be ok all the time. if we'd have had this tool kit in place and would have been given the tools to help her, it would it would have changed the outcomes for potentially how lucia is coping now. i think that it would definitely help them understand more about the situation with the brother or sister and how to deal with it. seven months after his diagnosis, tom lost his fight for life. but, as the charity points out, from that place of devastation was born the trust that bears his name. and tom's mother, debs, is determined that the siblings who live in the shadow of this dreadful disease are looked after. there's a huge gap for sibling support, a massive gap.

they're simply the forgotten children in all of this diagnosis. our vision is to change the mental health provision in the uk for ever for them. breaking news at this hour, reports that the israeli military has ordered people to evacuate a hospital in gaza. the announcement shows a speaker attached to a drone and people leaving the area. the idf is not responded to the queries. you're watching bbc news. 40 years after their iconic bolero performance, jayne torvill and christopher dean have returned to sarajevo, the city where they won olympic gold, to announce they are hanging up their skates next spring. the pair will go on tour to perform together one final time before retirement, ss patrick gearey reports. they are four minutes away from olympic gold. valentine's day, 1984.

jayne torvill and christopher dean were about to embark on the dance of so many lifetimes. music: bolero. when we skated, i felt like we were in a bubble. it was like an out—of—body experience now. we just wanted to skate well and not make any mistakes. they did more than that. in sarajevo, torvill and dean was skating on the frontier. ice dancing had never seen this before. music and movement intertwined so gracefully. their sport and their lives would never be the same again. 40 years later, they're back at the scene of that famous four minutes, 28. we're in the place where we performed bolero, won the olympic gold medal, which was, you know, a launch pad for the next 40 years, basically. we didn't know that we'd still be talking about bolero all these years on and the fact that it still has lived on is why it's nice to hear the youngsters talking about it

and being aware of it. what they achieved that day was more precious than gold. they still inspire young skaters born a generation later. bolero echoes across the years and around the world. this is the working men's club in calverton, a former mining village where dean grew up. when he was about, i'm going to say four orfive year old, i can remember him with a pair of skates round his neck, yeah, with his mum. they are rewatching history here, as entranced as they were 40 years before. just waiting for it to be performed in nottingham so we could all see it live. it makes you proud that you live in nottingham, same as us. bolero and sarajevo made torvill and dean famous. ever since, the world has wanted to see them perform. but now we're approaching the final twist.

i think it's the right time for us to want to do our last celebration tour around the country. we just hope that people will come along and celebrate with us because the tour is a celebration of our careers, really. and it's the last time. and the last dance. so, next year, that famous music will finish. but if there's one thing torvill and dean are good at, it's a spectacular ending. tributes have been paid to one of britain's best—loved broadcasters, the bbc dj steve wright, who's died at the age of 69. he delighted listeners of radio 2, and before that, radio 1, for more than 40 years. his final programme, a special valentine's day edition of his love songs programme, was broadcast on sunday. david sillito looks back at his life. steve wright! # steve wright in the afternoon #. all right, now, just

after two o'clock. now, today, have we got a lot of stuff for you! steve wright in the afternoon, a programme that spanned more than 40 years of radio history. stand by, studios. action! it was only over a year ago that it came to an end, but radio 2 was the bearer of some sad news. it's really hard to know - what to say about the news of steve wright's passing, except we are all - absolutely devastated. it is a shock. it was only days ago listeners heard this sign—off from his sunday love songs. and i'm back for more love songs next sunday. is he really? are you a milkman? 0h, great! and for those who've worked with him over his years at radios 1 and 2, he was more than just another dj. from my personal experience, he was a very warm, genuine man who was concerned about the people he worked with. but an extraordinarily creative presenter. i mean, he was a real one—off. there was no—one else who sounded like steve wright.

a lot of us tried to be as good as steve wright, but no—one, no—one was that good. # steve wright!# that style, the posse, mr angry, voice—over man — it was zany, funny and, at its peak, it had 7 million listeners a day. and the bride is 107. all: yes, yes, yes! i think it was just because it was something different. it was slightly subversive. there was a little bit of satire in there and it wasn't like, "there you go, that's the great sound of..." behind the fun and laughter was a radio perfectionist. he wasn't necessarily the character you heard on the radio — _ full of life and effervescent - and this frantic, frenetic delivery. he was a quieter person. i would say almost - an introvert, quite shy. and that meant that when you felt you were friends with him, - it was very, very real. this cacophony of sound that was his show was so, so full of life. - i think that's why we're all finding it so hard, . because we can't believe that that

life has gone _ a feeling echoed by so many of her radio 2 colleagues, he did present top of the pops and a few tv shows, but his home and where he shone was behind the microphone. steve wright — professional, slick, funny and a master of the art of radio. hello again. for many of us today, a fairly cloudy and trying on and off. but north of scotland see something slightly different, here we have clearer skies and pressure conditions. forthe clearer skies and pressure conditions. for the rest of the uk, these weather fronts moving from the south northwards and eastwards. and between them, some brightness developing across north wales and the midlands into east anglia, but can also see where we've got the clearer skies and temperatures here between six and 8 degrees, mills are
