this is bbc news. a massive fire in a high—rise apartment building in valencia kills at least four people. 1a more are still missing. the united states returns to the moon for the first time in more than 50 years. the uk's energy regulator, ofgem, announces it's lowering the cap on household gas and electicity prices. and the v&a museum has a blank space in its work force — and it's looking to fill it with a swiftie! hello, i'm lucy grey, welcome to the programme. the emergency services in the spanish city of valencia say at least four people have been killed in a massive fire in a high—rise apartment building. 1a other people are believed to be missing. the blaze spread rapidly, stoked by highly—inflammable cladding. vincent mcaviney reports.

firefighters in valencia were first alerted at around 5.30pm yesterday after a blaze broke out on one of the building's lower floors. it quickly spread, with eyewitnesses saying it engulfed the entire iii—storey structure in a matter of minutes. residents fled to their balconies with firefighters making dramatic rescues. others waited in the smoke for their turn. translation: it's shocking. i don't know what to make of it. it's sad, very sad. translation: i told my daughter and mother-in-law to leave. - other people stayed inside. the residential block in valencia's campanar neighbourhood contains 138 flats, thought to be home to around a50 residents. more than 20 fire crews continued to tackle the blaze through the night, as strong winds

fanned the flames, helping them to spread to an adjoining building. there are fears for those who may have been trapped inside. a makeshift hospital was set up nearby to treat the injured. local authorities have set up a helpline to assist those searching for loved ones who lived in the apartments. one expert, who previously inspected the building, has told the spanish press, the block's exterior featured a polyurethane material, which is no longer in wide use because of fears over flammability. with the speed of the fire spread, questions are now being asked in spain notjust about how this fire started, but about how quickly the materials used in the building's construction allowed it to take hold. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. let's speak to our correspondent guy hedgecoe, who's monitoring events from madrid.

watmore have the authority said about this? we watmore have the authority said about this?— about this? we heard 'ust a few moments ago h about this? we heard 'ust a few moments ago the _ about this? we heard just a few moments ago the spanish - about this? we heard just a few- moments ago the spanish government representative in the region of valencia saying that m people were unaccounted for but that is a slightly different figure to what we heard from the mayor of valencia who said that there were between 9—15 people missing now. that disparity and slight confusion over the number missing might be down to the fact that a number of those missing may be foreign and may not have family in valencia or spain who can be contacted. four people confirmed dead, another 15 injured. several of those are still injured. several of those are still in hospital, and several of those are firefighters. we do not have a theory yet as to how this fire started but eyewitnesses have spoken

about the winning of a balcony which they saw burning early on in the fire, —— the awning, and some eyewitnesses say that might have started the blaze.— started the blaze. view is able be reminded of _ started the blaze. view is able be reminded of the _ started the blaze. view is able be reminded of the grenfell- started the blaze. view is able be reminded of the grenfell fire - reminded of the grenfell fire disaster, and the huge debate there has been about cladding ever since. as we heard in that report, there is concern that there may have been, the cladding may have been responsible for it spreading so quickly. what can you tell us about that? ~ ., �* ., quickly. what can you tell us about that? a ., �* a, a, , ., that? we don't have anything from sanish that? we don't have anything from spanish officials _ that? we don't have anything from spanish officials regarding - that? we don't have anything from spanish officials regarding the - spanish officials regarding the cladding, what role it may have played in all of this, but inevitably there has been a lot of talk about it, and there have been experts, technical engineers, talking about this kind of polyurethane cladding, and on this building, we are told that it had an

aluminium cover over it but there was an area of ventilation between the cladding and the aluminium covering, which allowed air to go through it, and some experts have said that could create a chimney effect, encouraging the spread of fire. so there has been a lot of talk about that cladding but also, when you add to that, the fact that there were very high winds in valencia yesterday, helping the fire to spread, helping it spread to an adjoining building as well. thank ou ve adjoining building as well. thank you very much _ adjoining building as well. thank you very much for _ adjoining building as well. thank you very much for that, - adjoining building as well. thank you very much for that, guy - you very much for that, guy hedgecoe, monitoring that from madrid. it's one small step for man — one giant leap for private enterprise. the united states has returned to the moon for the first time in more than 50 years — but on this occasion it wasn't the american taxpayer footing the bill. the odysseus lander touched down on the lunar surface a few hours ago — the first time a privately—owned spacecraft has achieved that feat.

we've reached the expected time of landing, but now is the process of waiting for comms and we are in standby mode. a tense time at intuitive machines mission control, as the team waits for their lunar lander to call home. we are checking our antenna reception. still nothing as the minutes pass but then, finally, a faint signal. we can confirm, without a doubt, our equipment is on the surface of the moon and we are transmitting. so congratulations, im team. we'll see how much more we can get from that. applause congratulations to everyone involved in this great and daring quest at intuitive machines, space x and right here at nasa. what a triumph! this feat is a giant leap forward for all of humanity. the intuitive machines team now

needs to check the condition of the spacecraft and the status of what's on board. nasa has paid the company to carry six of its scientific instruments. it's the first ever commercial lander to reach the lunar surface and marks a return there for america. it's been more than 50 years since the united states landed on the moon. the last time was in 1972, and this is where apollo 17 set down. before that, there were five other apollo missions that made it down to the lunar surface, and they were all around the moon's equator. but now the united states is heading down to the south pole. and this is the landing site of the new intuitive machines mission. it's the furthest south a spacecraft has ever been, and it's paving the way for nasa's artemis astronauts, who will be exploring this same polar region in a few years' time. so why go here? the area is covered in deep craters, some permanently in shadow,

and scientists think frozen water could be inside. if we can actually take advantage of that ice on the surface of the moon, that's less materials we have to bring with us. we could use that ice to convert it to water, drinkable drinking water. we can extract oxygen and hydrogen for fuel and for breathing for the astronauts. so it really helps us in human exploration. now the spacecraft is down, the team will carefully analyse any data and wait for the first images to arrive. they'll be hoping that the lunar exploration can then begin. rebecca morelle, bbc news. here in the uk, the energy regulator ofgem has announced it's lowering the cap on household gas and electicity prices by 12.3%. the new pricing level means the average household bill will be about £1,690 a yearfrom april. this is the lowest level for two years. let's speak to our cost of living correspondent, kevin peachey.

some good news, then, kevin. little bit of relief for people. energy prices, the cost of heating and lighting homes has been one of the chief reasons for this cost of living difficulties people have been facing, that and food prices as well. along with many other essential bills. but there has been some good news today. the regulator for the energy sector in the uk, ofgem, said that in england, wales and scotland the cost of energy would come down in april. it sets a cap every three months. this will be for a further three months from april. it sets a cap on the unit price of gas and electricity. that means the cost of each unit of energy, not the total bill that it puts a limit on, so if you use more energy, you pay more, but the good

news for people is that for somebody who uses a typical amount of gas and electric, the annual bill should be down about £230, £238, for the year, and that will take the bill to around £1690 a year, and that is the lowest it has been forjust over two years. giving some relief to people. but campaigners say that this has come after two years of great difficulties, with more than £3 billion of debt that has been built up billion of debt that has been built up for people unable to pay their suppliers, so there is that going on to bills as well.— to bills as well. some of the su ort to bills as well. some of the support has _ to bills as well. some of the support has finished - to bills as well. some of the support has finished for - to bills as well. some of the i support has finished for people struggling with their bills. is there any indication of an announcement in the budget next month about new support for people? you are right to say that that government direct financial support has been wound down. those

cost—of—living payments are just finishing. last winter there was quite a big intervention which meant that it put a lid on people's bills, they had been up at £2500 a year, with a £400 discount as well, so there was quite a lot of government intervention and direct financial support. we have had no news of anything that will continue on that. they will be looking at tariffs, they have said this morning but we will have to see what happens in the budget stop clearly, the chancellor will be looking at the economy and people's finances, in the round, and deciding what to do, but campaigners say that there still needs to be government support for those who are most in need, because they are still really struggling, the bills are still higher than before the pandemic, and people have built up some debt as well, so it is still a tough time for people, and campaigners say that that support

should wither out, —— shouldn't wither out and not be seen again. israel is sending a delegation to talks in paris on a ceasefire in gaza. the us is pushing hard for a deal before the start of ramadan in a little over two weeks' time. israel and hamas are still thought to be far apart on a number of issues, including how many palestinian prisoners might be released in exchange for the remaining israeli hostages. it comes as the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, is reported to have presented his security cabinet plans for the post—war governance of gaza. meanwhile, the united nations agency for palestinian refugees has warned that it has reached breaking point as it struggles to cope with the war in gaza. in a letter to the un general assembly, unrwa's chief philippe lazzarini said the agency's ability to fulfil its mandate was seriously threatened. let's speak to our correspondent, jenny hill, injerusalem. let's talk about those talks most of all, jenny. there have been vaguely

positive noises coming from israel in recent days, after that resolute rejection of the hamas proposal of a couple of weeks ago, calling them "delusional", there is some slight positivity. "delusional", there is some slight ositivi . , ., , ~ positivity. yes, a minister in mr netanyahu's — positivity. yes, a minister in mr netanyahu's war— positivity. yes, a minister in mr netanyahu's war cabinet - positivity. yes, a minister in mr. netanyahu's war cabinet sounded positivity. yes, a minister in mr- netanyahu's war cabinet sounded an extremely cautious note of optimism when he said that preliminary signs were that there was the possibility of progress towards this deal, so, as cautious as you can get. some might read into the fact that israel is sending a delegation to paris, it suggests that at least they believe thatis suggests that at least they believe that is something to talk about. hamas officials a couple of days ago met egyptian officials in cairo, and washington has sent its senior middle east envoy first egypt and then to israel. where he held talks

last night, we are told, with benjamin netanyahu. so, there is a sense of movement, but extreme caution about what that means. we know the us was keen to get a deal in place before the beginning of the muslim holy month of ramadan, which starts on march ten. there is that other pressure coming from the fact that israel has repeatedly insisted that israel has repeatedly insisted that if its hostages are not released by then, it will proceed with plans for a major ground offensive on the southern city of rafah, where well over1 million displaced palestinian civilians are seeking shelter. in addition to that, there is growing international pressure about the humanitarian conditions inside gaza, with many foreign governments keen to see a resolution to this conflict, to save the suffering of civilians, about which we have heard so much from various aid agencies in recent days.

thank you, jenny hill, injerusalem. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. the uk is to sign a new arrangement with the eu's border agency as part of its efforts to stop small boats crossing the channel. the deal will see the uk border force co—operate more closely with its european counterparts — exchanging intelligence and collaborating on training, new technology and operations. last year, nearly 30,000 migrants crossed the channel to the uk from france — down a third on 2022. the scout association could be investigated by police over whether it tried to pervert the course ofjustice after a teenager died on a hike. 16—year—old ben leonard was among a group visiting north wales in 2018 when he fell from a cliff. an inquest found a scout leader and his assistant responsible for unlawful killing, adding that neglect by the scout association a government—commissioned review into tackling political violence is to recommend that the police should be able to shut down

protests outside mps' offices, council buildings and the houses of parliament. the issue of mps' safety was used by the commons speaker, sir lindsay hoyle, to justify his controversial handling of a debate you're live with bbc news. the number of mps calling for commons speaker sir lindsay hoyle to resign has risen to 67. dozens of snp and conservative mps have called for a vote on his future, after sir lindsay allowed a labour amendment to a vote on gaza, going against parliamentary convention. he said he did it partly to ensure the safety of mps. our political correspondent leila nathoojoins us now. we have hurt us apologies from the speaker, but this is not going away. there is no doubt that his authority has been weakened as a result of this. dozens of mps signing this

no—confidence motion in him. there is no formal mechanism to get rid of him. he would have to resign off his own bat, after pressure. but there is no sign of that yet. he repeated his apology to mps yesterday, saying he had made the wrong decision in allowing that labour motion to go ahead. but then as justification for allowing the motions from the snp, labour and conservatives to go ahead was he wanted mps to vote on the widest possible range of options to express their views on the war on gaza, saying that he was mindful of the pressure that mps had been under from constituents over their stance on gaza, he wanted them to be able to say that i had voted for this position, this is my party's position, this is my party's position, though this has become a wider debate about the safety of mps and he described some of the things he had heard about the safety of mps from examples of things that had happened to them, threats that they

had faced either in person or online, so it is a serious, real issue. there have been a number of high—profile incidents, one tory mp had protesters turning up outside of his house, that has been a focus of discussions, whether that should be allowed or not. lots of tory mps are standing down, and one had his office subject to an arson attack at the end of last year. it is a serious situation. one proposal being put forward by the government adviser on political violence saying that police should be able to disperse protesters outside mps' houses, outside parliament, outside council buildings, all these sites critical to the democratic process, but clearly there is some concern about going too far, so the balance between protecting mps' safety whilst protecting the democratic right of voters and constituents to engage with mps, to connect, express views and scrutinise their mps as well as being able to demonstrate in

public places. thanks very much for that, that is leila nathoo in westminster for us. tomorrow marks two years since the start of the war in ukraine. the conflict has seen more than 200,000 ukrainians leave their homes, taking sanctuary in towns and cities across the uk. one centre in norfolk has become a vital community hub for localfamilies. our reporterjohn maguire is live there for us now. the mac this is the drop in centre in dereham in norfolk. there is furniture here because people have left their homes in ukraine, trying to set up homes here if they have been lucky enough to find a place after leaving their house home. they can just come in and pick that furniture up. a classroom setup in the corner, english lessons, they also do counselling as well, well being is an important part of what they do. lots of places for people

to meet up and enjoy tea or coffee. they can talk in the mother tongue of ukrainian, it's important for them to be do that, but also to be learning english which is essential here. hello to you all. yin, this has been going on for two years now. perhaps we didn't think we would be here —— ian. what do you do for people, i know that people appreciate the service that you offer. in appreciate the service that you offer. . , appreciate the service that you offer. ., , ._ , offer. in the early days when families were _ offer. in the early days when families were coming - offer. in the early days when families were coming over. offer. in the early days when i families were coming over they offer. in the early days when - families were coming over they had literally— families were coming over they had literallyjust a backpack with some clothing _ literallyjust a backpack with some clothing so we would issue essential items_ clothing so we would issue essential items like _ clothing so we would issue essential items like clothing, toiletries, bedding. _ items like clothing, toiletries, bedding, and set them up with universai— bedding, and set them up with universal credit, help them with education — universal credit, help them with education and employment but as things— education and employment but as things have moved on and progress, people _ things have moved on and progress, pe0pie are _ things have moved on and progress, people are working, the hosting situation — people are working, the hosting situation is coming to an end so as families_ situation is coming to an end so as families move into their own accommodation we look to help supply them with— accommodation we look to help supply them with furniture, to source manager—

there will not be a third anniversary, but there will still be people accent is similar to this across the uk, prepared to help those people very much most in need. back to the studio. studio: thank you, john maguire in dereham in norfolk. let's speak to sarah brown. she is the chair of �*theirworld' — a global children's charity committed to bringing education to the most disadvantaged children. welcome to the programme. you have been doing a lot of work with ukraine. what is the greatest need for children?— for children? keeping children safe and housed — for children? keeping children safe and housed and _ for children? keeping children safe and housed and fed _ for children? keeping children safe and housed and fed but _ for children? keeping children safe and housed and fed but after- for children? keeping children safe and housed and fed but after that. and housed and fed but after that education, so that children can resume their normal learning, as ukrainian children have either rode you losing learning through the pandemic and then in the conflict many have had to flee from their homes either within ukraine or to host countries like the uk and other countries like poland and moldova,

so we have focused on how we can deliver education to children displaced from their local schools. you have a big announcement about the museum. tell us about that. irate the museum. tell us about that. - distributed tens of thousands of laptops to continue learning, and we met president zelensky face2face last year, and we heard from him what he considered a priority, and it was maths and science, so we are launching support for the museum of mathematics in kyiv, which will be a new centre, also a lot of touring projects taking things out. there is a real worry that the children who lost their learning during a pandemic have continued to lose it as the conflict has rolled on, will not have the maths and science skills, and these are people determined to go back and rebuild the country and maths and science will be important for that. interesting that you are doing this well the war still raging on, would

you have imagined it would go on for two years now? we are at the two—year anniversary. you see an end in sight, with the international agenda being dominated by other events, it is perhaps slip down as a priority, there is debate in the us about how much do you help ukraine. did you see an end in sight? irate did you see an end in sight? we cannot see _ did you see an end in sight? - cannot see an end in sight but we have to be hurtful, and people are incredibly hopeful and resilient that this time next year we will not be in quite the same situation with such a high level of conflict, added damage that is being brought to that country is going on and on and families are suffering losses, but also suffering being displaced from their homes, and schools being bombed. �* . . , their homes, and schools being bombed. a ., , ., , bombed. actually “oining us, we appreciateh bombed. actually “oining us, we appreciate your_ bombed. actually joining us, we appreciate your time. _ bombed. actually joining us, we appreciate your time. that i bombed. actually joining us, we appreciate your time. that is i bombed. actually joining us, we i appreciate your time. that is sarah brown from theirworld. thank you for being with us on bbc news.

good morning. it was a chilly start. first thing, frost across parts of scotland and that's because we've changed our air mass here in the uk. the atlantic has departed. now it's across scandinavia, that deep area of low pressure. and instead we've got this chillier air with us over the next couple of days. really, to put that in context for the best part of a week and a half now, we've had temperatures into the teens yesterday, saw them dip back down closer to the february average. and that's what is with us for the next couple of days. feeling chilly because of the brisk wind today, which is bringing a lot of showers to northern western scotland, northern ireland, western parts of england along with wales, wintry over the hills, the best of the sunshine, the drier weather further east, but nowhere exempt from the showers because of that brisk wind. and as you can see, we're back down to the seasonal average today. itjust feels colder because it has been so mild recently. now the showers continue this evening but tend to fade away in central

and eastern parts overnight. so i think as the windfalls light as well, we're going to have a problem with fog tomorrow morning, but also frost more widely. we had it in scotland this morning. it'll be across many parts, rural parts as we get towards tomorrow morning. so scraping the ice off the windscreens, if you're heading out early, and the visibility really will be a problem, particularly i think for midlands, central and eastern parts of england where the ground so saturated, we've had so much rain, in fact, we've still got numerous flood warnings out at the moment following yesterday's rain. but as you can see, more showers on saturday. lots of dry weather, though, stilljust nines and tens and temperatures limited where we have that fog lingering, but it does look predominantly dry. for the rugby matches, the six nations, as you can see, under way tomorrow in ireland and scotland. but come sunday, we're watching this next area of low pressure developing and it's giving us a little bit of a headache as to exactly where it's going to track. looks set to give some more wet and windy weather across france. but increasingly, the computer models seem to be taking some of that wetter,

windier weather across the southern half of the uk, which means that it should stay mostly dry in that cooler air further north. so another cold—ish feeling day, another issue with frost and fog first thing sunday. but then it's how much of that windy, wet weather we see crossing england and wales. we don't need any more rain. still numerous flood warnings in force after recent rain. you can find out the details on the website.

this is bbc news, the headlines... a massive fire in a high—rise apartment building in valencia kills at least four people. 14 more are still missing. the united states returns to the moon for the first time in more than 50 years. and the v&a museum has a �*blank space' in its workforce — and it's looking to fill it with a swiftie. the united states has returned to the moon for the first time in more than 50 years. the odysseus lander touched down on the lunar surface a few hours ago — the first time a privately—owned spacecraft has achieved that feat. former nasa astronaut leroy chiao told us about the significance of this mission. this is the first time the us has sent a probe of any kind back to the moon in over 50 years, and it's very much the first time that a commercial enterprise has successfully soft landed on the moon. recently there have been a few attempts that have failed,

even some nations have failed, and so this is a big, big deal.
