shamima begum — who went to syria tojoin islamic state — loses her latest appeal against the removal of her british citizenship. a massive fire in a high—rise apartment building in valencia kills at least four people. 1a more are still missing. a private spacecraft called odysseus makes the first us moon landing in more than 50 years. hello, i'm lucy grey. in the last hour shamima begum has lost her latest appeal over the removal of her british citizenship. ms begum travelled to syria to join the islamic state group in 2015 when she was 15. her citizenship was revoked on national security grounds shortly after she was found in a syrian refugee camp in february 2019. she had argued the decision

was unlawful because she was a victim of trafficking. it means she remains in syria, with no chance of returning to the uk. here's dame sue carr, the lady chiefjustice of england and wales, delivering the ruling in the court of appeal. in conclusion, for these reasons, we unanimously dismiss the appeal. it could be argued that the decision in ms begum's case was harsh. it could also be argued that ms begum is the author of her own misfortune. but it is not for this court to agree or disagree with either point of view. our only task is to assess whether the deprivation decision was unlawful. we have concluded it was not and the appeal is dismissed.

graham satchell is at the court of appeal in central london. they have rejected her appeal. can you talk us through the reasoning that she leave date earlier today? this was our devastating judgment this morning in the court of appeal and a huge victory for the home secretary and the british government. it does leave shamima begum stuck in a camp in syria. the judgment took 20 minutes. it was long and technical. the lawyers of shamima begum gave five grounds for appeal. things like, she was a child and she went to syria, just 15, that she had been trafficked, groomed, sexually exploited, let down by parts of the british state. the

chiefjustices said that was not a material consideration, that those were breaches that may have happened but had not been proved to happen, and even if they had happened, that was four years before her citizenship was removed, and there are other considerations like, had she been left stateless because they had removed her citizenship. the high court said that in 2019 there was nothing unlawful that the home secretary did. 0n was nothing unlawful that the home secretary did. on and on and on. as i say, a devastating judgment for shamima begum and a huge victory for the home secretary. this has been a very long legal battle. people from reprieve earlier saying they expect to take this to the supreme court. this does not end here necessarily, does it?

i think that is interesting, because it will be difficult as things stand now to see what grounds there are four appeal to the supreme court. it is sort of a slam dunk. every single thing that the legal team of shamima begum put to the court, they rejected. we did speak to a lawyer of shamima begum outside court a few moments ago. her legal team say they are considering what to do next, but actually they have made a direct appeal to the home secretary to bring shamima begum home, and they say britain should do what other countries around the world do, which is repatriate their citizens who joined is, put them on trial in their own countries, deal with them like that. it is difficult to say what the british government will do.

the emergency services in the spanish city of valencia have confirmed that at least four people have died in a massive fire in a high—rise apartment building. the government says 1a people are still unaccounted for. these are live pictures from where the firefighters are still working. the blaze spread rapidly, stoked by highly—inflammable cladding. vincent mcaviney reports. firefighters in valencia were first alerted at around 5:30 yesterday afternoon after a blaze broke out on one of the building's lower floors. it quickly spread, with eyewitnesses saying it engulfed the entire 14—storey structure in a matter of minutes. residents fled to their balconies with firefighters making dramatic rescues. 0thers waited in the smoke for their turn. translation: it's shocking. i 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. just a few moments ago the spanish government representative in the region of valencia seeing that 1a people were unaccounted for. that is a different figure is what we heard shortly before that from the mayor of valencia who said they were between nine and 15 people missing. that disparity and slight confusion over a number of people missing may be down, we are told, to the fact that a number of people missing may be foreign nationals, and they may not have family in valencia or in spain who can be contacted. we also heard that four people have been confirmed dead. another 15 were

injured. several of those are still injured. several of those are still in hospital. and several of those are firefighters. we don't have a theory yet as to how this fire started but eyewitnesses have spoken about the awning of a balcony which they saw burning early on in the fire. some eyewitnesses were saying they thought that might have started they thought that might have started the blaze. anybody watching here in the uk will be reminded of the grenfell tower fire here which was such a huge disaster, and a huge amount of debate that has been about cladding ever since. and as a hearing in that report before we came to you, there is concern that the cladding may have been responsible for it spreading so quickly. what can you tell as about that? we don't have anything from spanish officials regarding the cladding or what role the cladding may have played in all of this. but perhaps

inevitably that in a lot of talk about it and there have been experts and technical engineers talking about this type of poly urethane cladding. and on this building we are told it had an aluminium cover over it, but there was an area of ventilation between the cladding itself and the aluminium covering which allowed her to go through it, and some experts have said that could create a chimney effect, so it could encourage the spread of fire. there has a lot of talk about that cladding. also when you add to that the fact that there were very high winds in valencia yesterday, which were helping the fire spread and helped it spread to an adjoining building as well. 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. our correspondentjenny hill told me more about the discussions around a ceasefire deal. a minister in mr netanyahu's war cabinet struck our cautious note of optimism when he said preliminary signs of possibility of progress towards this deal. as cautious as you can get. some might read on to the fact that israel is sending a delegation to paris suggests that at least they believe that there is something to talk about. hamas officials a couple of days ago were meeting egyptian officials in cairo. and washington have sent its senior

middle east envoy first to egypt and then to israel where he held talks last night, we are told, with benjamin netanyahu. there is a sense of movement, that extreme caution about that. we know that the us was keen to get a deal in place before the beginning of the muslim holy month of ramadan which starts on march the 10th. there was that other pressure also 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 well over 1 offensive on the southern city of rafah well over1 million displaced palestinian civilians are currently seeking shelter. in addition to that there is growing international pressure about the humanitarian conditions inside gaza, with many foreign governments very 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. 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 on thursday night — the first time a privately—owned spacecraft has achieved that feat. our science editor — rebecca morelle — reports. 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.

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 air 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 and 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 windfall�*s 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 grounds 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 coldish 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.
