meet the un security council says it will meet later to discuss the deadly incident in northern gaza where more than 100 people were killed whilst they surrounded an aid convoy. we look at the debate on assisted dying in the uk, as the implications of possible new laws are considered. sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre. hello from the bbc sport centre. the career of former manchester united midfielder paul pogba could be over, after he was banned for four years for a doping offence. the france international tested positive for testosterone in a drugs test after a match for his current clubjuventus. pogba intends to appeal. in a statement, he said, "i am sad, shocked and heartbroken that everything i have built in my professional playing career has been taken away from me". 0ur correspondent katie gornall has the background to the case. this all started back in august, at the beginning of the italian

football season when paul pogba was randomly selected for a drugs test following their game against udinese. now in september, he was provisionally suspended after elevated levels of testosterone were found, and that was confirmed in a b sample that was revealed in october. so the italian national anti—doping tribunal were the ones who confirmed that test. now it's understood that paul pogba believes if he did take a banned substance, he did so inadvertently and his agent, speaking at the time that this test was revealed, said that what is certain is that paul pogba never wanted to break a rule. everton manager sean dyche has been speaking publicly for the first time since their ten—point reduction for breaking financial rules was cut to six. he said the decision has given them a boost in their fight for premier league survival — and it's a positive for the game. i think we placed, we got something that, obviously. it's great to want

more, but i think it's, you know, the points that the club made are all ones we listen to, and we got the four points back. we'll take that and it brings clarity to the situation, it's good for us and the players, but it's good for us all, actually. there are signs the new formula 1 season is shaping up to be a little less predictable than last season — lewis hamilton led a mercedes 1—2 in second practice in bahrain. team—mate george russell was second with aston martin's fernando alonso third. max verstappen, who's aiming to win his fourth consecutive title, was down in sixth — nearly half a second off the pace. it's been an excellent day for two british tennis players. jack draper's booked his place in the quarterfinals of the mexico 0pen after beating yoshihito nishioka in straight sets, dropping just three games. and katie boulter is into herfirst wta 500 quarterfinal, after an impressive win against the second seed beatriz haddad maia. boulter came from a set down

to beat a player 36 places above her in the world rankings. the president of world athletics, lord coe, says the sport has to move with the times to keep fans entertained. athletes have criticised the plans to trial a "take—off zone" in the long jump, but lord coe says they must evolve. we do have to future proof the sport, we do have to make sure that young people sitting here over the next couple of days are attracted into our sport. we want them to go out and find athletics clubs, to go off and become coaches, teachers, and hopefully parents that encourage their kids into the sport. everybody�*s got slightly jumpy literally about the long jump take off, but it's one of a whole raft of innovations that we are looking at. and that's all the sport for now.

thank you very much. the government is being urged to take an active role, in the debate on assisted dying, withjersey and the isle of man, now considering its legalisation. campaigners for a change in the law, such as the broadcaster, dame esther rantzen, say people should have a choice about the way they want to end their lives. but opponents fear that could put older or vulnerable people at risk, of being pressured by others. here's fergus walsh. sophie blake was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. it has spread throughout her body and is incurable. she's travelling and enjoying life now, but wants the option of an assisted death if she experiences uncontrollable pain. i don't have a death wish. i love living. i love living life to the full. i've got no desire to to die. i'm not scared of dying, but i'm not ready to die yet. but if and when the time ever comes and if it's ever needed,

i don't want to suffer. i don't want to be in horrendous pain. today's report describes assisted dying as a difficult, sensitive, yet crucial subject which attracts passionate argument both for and against. more and more countries in europe have legalised assisted dying in some form in recent years, along with new zealand, australia, canada and now ten states in the us. the mps say they saw no evidence that palliative and end of life care had deteriorated as a result — and, in some instances, it had improved. while assisted dying remains illegal throughout the uk, the mps say it looks increasingly likely it will be allowed injersey or the isle of man, both crown dependencies. the report says ministers at westminster should be actively involved in discussions about what the implications of that might be.

i think the trend is very clear. i think maybe one of the devolved nations within the uk or one of the crown dependencies will enable assisted dying, assisted suicide within the next few years and that has implications for westminster. it doesn't mean that we therefore have to follow suit, but we, of course, have to adapt to that because it brings it nearer. mps overwhelmingly rejected assisted suicide in their last free vote. that was nearly a decade ago. campaigners opposed to a law change fear the signal it would send to the weak and vulnerable. laws send messages, and if we change the law saying that some people don't have the same protections as others, that actually sometimes it's right to take people's life or people can make that choice, i think that sends a very significant message to people who are vulnerable, who are disabled, who are perhaps depressed and suicidal. and part of suicide prevention is part of the role of medicine. chanting those in favour of assisted dying are pinning their hopes

on the new intake of mps at the next election. but expect more scenes like this, with campaigners for and against outside parliament, whenever this contentious matter returns. fergus walsh, bbc news. with me is nathan stilwell, assisted dying campaigner at humanists uk and at my death, my decision, which describes itself as a grassroots movement for assisted dying reform. welcome to the studio. as we saw in that report there, as fergus said, this is a difficult, sensitive subject. a couple of hours ago, i spoke to somebody who really opposes any

changes that make a change to legalise assisted dying. why do you think a law should change? i legalise assisted dying. why do you think a law should change?- think a law should change? i think i should change _ think a law should change? i think i should change because _ think a law should change? i think i should change because of - think a law should change? i think i should change because of stories i think a law should change? i think i | should change because of stories we just heard, there are too many in the uk who are suffering, and their suffering is unbearable. it's barbaric to tell them that they should go to switzerland, if they can afford it, or their only other option is to suffer. we are a compassionate society and we can have a compassionate assisted dying law. we have a compassionate assisted dying law. ~ ., ,., ., ., have a compassionate assisted dying law. we heard someone in that report s-ueakin of law. we heard someone in that report speaking of compassion, _ law. we heard someone in that report speaking of compassion, saying - speaking of compassion, saying that laws like that, that would legalise assisted dying, would send a strong message to people disabilities, and that wasn't the answer is popular i think the message it sends to all these people is think the message it sends to all these mapl— think the message it sends to all these pewt— think the message it sends to all these -eo-l- , . , these people is that "we trust you, ou these people is that "we trust you, you should — these people is that "we trust you, you should have _ these people is that "we trust you, you should have a _ these people is that "we trust you, you should have a voice _ these people is that "we trust you, you should have a voice and - you should have a voice and a choice." if you look at the people campaigning right now, but also those who have fought for a change in the law through the courts, so people like tony nicholson and debbie purdy, they were people at the end of their lives who were unbearably suffering, there are some people who might be called vulnerable, yet they were the ones

campaigning, leading the charge for the change. we should be listening to them and their voices, especially when we can see all over the globe that assisted dying is working, safe and compassionate. d0 that assisted dying is working, safe and compassionate.— that assisted dying is working, safe and compassionate. do you accept the arc ument and compassionate. do you accept the argument from — and compassionate. do you accept the argument from some _ and compassionate. do you accept the argument from some that _ and compassionate. do you accept the argument from some that this - and compassionate. do you accept the argument from some that this would l and compassionate. do you accept the j argument from some that this would - argument from some that this would — there would be a gray area and it could lead to people who are vulnerable, perhaps agreeing to ending their lives earlier because they are being taken advantage of? that's not how it works in countries with assisted dying. if you are vulnerable and you go to a medical professional whose received training and guidance, they are there to help you, not necessarily to quicken your death. they'll ask you questions about yourself, why you're choosing this, they'll be able to offer counselling and support. and what we have right now is this wild west system where people can refuse treatment, refuse food and drink, and people do starve themselves to death in really unfortunate ways. there's a better system available,

says the fines are needed to avoid "chaos" in schools. branwenjeffreys, has more details. at this little primary in grimsby, fewer children are missing days than last year. the staff work with parents to make school welcoming. but some families say they can only afford holidays in term time. the rules leave the school limited options. the thing that most supports our parents in understanding the children, the importance of the children being in school, is the relationships. so, yes, the fines are one thing, but that support and those relationships we offer our parents is the most important thing. fines for missing school without permission will change in england from september. at the moment, it's £60 per parent. next school year, it will be £80 per parent, going up to £160 if not paid, with a maximum two fines per parent every three years.

as a parent, your chance of being fined depends on where you live, and that's because different councils have been setting their own policies. these new guidelines say schools must consider a fine after five days of unauthorised absence. headteachers will still have some discretion, but this is a tougher approach and it is likely to lead to more fines. at a play centre in redcar, we asked parents what they thought about fines. i think it's shocking and i don't think anyone's going to listen to it because i...it won't stop me from taking my child out if i can only afford that time. i think it's a bit frustrating because, fair enough, education's important, but so's life experiences. at the grimsby school, the education secretary heard from children. so, if you're really ill, but if you've just got a sniffle and you're feeling... or a little cough. ..a cough or something, then you can come in. here, they have points and prizes

to encourage attendance. fines are a last resort for most schools, so why increase them? obviously, we want to support those parents and those children that are struggling to go in school, but if it's a deliberate decision to take your child out of school for unauthorised absence, then that's something that we don't want to encourage in the school system. something has shifted in communities since covid. the link between school and families more fragile and, still, many children are missing a lot of lessons. branwenjeffreys, bbc news, grimsby. did you know your water bottle has millions more bacteria than a toilet? fortunately it's not nearly as dangerous, but presenters of the podcast reliable saw stone have been going around the bbc to see how often bbc colleagues have 0r have 0ften bbc colleagues have 0r have not been washing their bottles.

in their latest series the "hairy bikers go west", dave and si visited the global village cafe, in lancaster. emma foster is a volunteer director of the cafe and we can speak to her now. thanks forjoining us on what is obviously a sad day for the tv world. what are your memories of dave? ~ ., ., world. what are your memories of dave? . . . . world. what are your memories of dave? ~ . ., ., ., world. what are your memories of dave? . ., ., ., world. what are your memories of dave? ~ . ., ., ., ., dave? we had a half of day of filmin: , dave? we had a half of day of filming. and _ dave? we had a half of day of filming, and i— dave? we had a half of day of filming, and i think _ dave? we had a half of day of filming, and i think in the - filming, and i think in the landscape of a life, that's just a tiny speck, isn't it? by the impact dave had on us was way bigger than that. there was a whole team of us and we didn't know what to expect with these famous chefs coming to meet us. and hejust had with these famous chefs coming to meet us. and he just had such a lovely way about him, and his dynamic with his partner and the rest of the team, his curiosity about everyone and who we were, what we were cooking — it was just

impossible not to be inspired by him. and, sad as it is today, on that day we all had such a lovely time together. fight! that day we all had such a lovely time together.— that day we all had such a lovely time together. that day we all had such a lovely time touether. �* ., . ., , ., time together. and how much have you looked at the — time together. and how much have you looked at the harry _ time together. and how much have you looked at the harry bikers _ time together. and how much have you looked at the harry bikers as _ looked at the harry bikers as inspiration? they were on tv but loved food and had such great chemistry together, as well. yes. chemistry together, as well. yes, absolutely. _ chemistry together, as well. yes, absolutely, and _ chemistry together, as well. yes, absolutely, and i _ chemistry together, as well. yes, absolutely, and i think— chemistry together, as well. yes, absolutely, and i think you - chemistry together, as well. ye: absolutely, and i think you can see when you watch them on the television that food is one of the ways which they showed their love for people, and bring people together, and their love for one another, actually. . you see it on television and you wonder, "is that real?" it's natural. and we found it was incredibly authentic and genuine, and that was very

inspiring. so yeah, i could then understand why they came in with such an open heart, and i don't know how david's feeling at the time, it didn't occur to me to think that perhaps he had dig really deep to show that sort of warmth and joy with all of us. and yet he just did it! it was brilliant. fight! with all of us. and yet he 'ust did it! it was brilliantfi with all of us. and yet he 'ust did it! it was brilliant. and what have --eole it! it was brilliant. and what have people who _ it! it was brilliant. and what have people who were _ it! it was brilliant. and what have people who were with _ it! it was brilliant. and what have people who were with you - it! it was brilliant. and what have i people who were with you that they said to you when they've heard today's news?— said to you when they've heard toda 's news? , , ~ ., today's news? everybody knew that he had had this illness _ today's news? everybody knew that he had had this illness and _ today's news? everybody knew that he had had this illness and was _ had had this illness and was receiving treatment — but it was still a big shock actually, so a lot of coming together this morning, conversations, people saying, "gosh, he was such a life presence when we

had that tiny brief opportunity to meet him," so it's just obviously sad for his wife and family, and for si and the rest of the team, you think, "gosh, what a loss for them." and i can't imagine exactly what it's like for them, we just want to send our heartfelt wishes to them. emma foster, thank you very much. thank you. emma foster, thank you very much. thank you-— emma foster, thank you very much. thank ou. ., , ., , thank you. two developments to bring ou relatin: thank you. two developments to bring you relating the _ thank you. two developments to bring you relating the ongoing _ thank you. two developments to bring you relating the ongoing situation - you relating the ongoing situation in gaza. the first is that the afp news agency is reporting the un chief has condemned that deadly cause aid delivery — the spokesperson saying we are reporting that the un security council will be meeting thursday, today, to discuss what happened after more than 100

people died while aid was being delivered in northern gaza. meanwhile, italy's foreign minister has called for an immediate cease—fire in gaza, calling on israel to protect the palestinian population as well after troops opened fire at an aid convoy. we will have more on that throughout the evening here, anna foster is up next if you are washing around the world on bbc one, it's the 6pm news. thanks for watching. hello there. well, the weather has been particularly grey and wet today across eastern areas of england. you might recognise this weather watcher picture, which shows the uk's tallest building, the shard, in london — or at least the bottom half of it, the top half sticking out into the cloud and the rain. now, the rain has been caused by this slow—moving weather front that really dragged its heels. but further northwest, we did manage something a bit brighter —

although we did have some strong winds bringing some large waves to lerwick harbour, in shetland. 0vernight tonight, those winds will fall light in scotland and northern england. with cooler spells here, we'll probably see some frost developing in the countryside. at the same time, a band of rain will start to encroach in wales and southwest england — the rain itself could be heavy enough to cause some localised surface—water flooding, given how wet the weather has been over recent weeks. for friday the low pressure is here to stay, and this occlusion brings with it the risk of some hill snow. now we are talking about the risk just across the high ground — 200 metres or above — with the main threat across north wales, the peaks, the pennines, and the high ground in northern ireland. the amount of snow we get will vary a lot from place to place — some places not getting very much, others could see five centimetres or more, bringing some localised disruption to high—level routes. but at lower elevations — which of course, is where the vast majority of us live — we're looking atjust cold outbreaks of rain. temperatures really struggling underneath that band of rain, probably 2—3 celsius for large parts of the day. otherwise we should get up to around 8—9.

but there'll be plenty of showers around for wales, the midlands, east anglia, and southern counties of england, as well. now, heading into the weekend's by the prospects, well, we continue to have the same area of low pressure withers, albeit it's weakening and drifting northwards through the course of the weekend. now, on saturday, it's a day of sunshine and showers. sunny spells may well be quite limited, but showers will be widespread — some of them will have hail and thunder mixed in, and it'll still be cold enough for a bit of snow over the tops of the scottish mountains and the hills in northern england — but really quite high up, so i'm not really expecting any weather impacts from that. it will continue to be quite cold — temperatures around 6—0 celsius, so those temperatures below average. by sunday, most of the showers will be across the northern half of the uk. in the south. something a bit drier for wales, the midlands, east anglia, and southern england — but even here, you could see an odd passing shower. temperatures continue to run a bit below average for the time of year — highs between 8—10 celsius. that's your latest weather, bye for now.

today at six: sarah everard's killer should never have been given a job as a police officer — the damning findings of an independent inquiry. red flags about wayne couzens' behaviour were repeatedly missed — by three police forces. wayne couzens was never fit to be a police officer. police leaders need to be sure

there isn't another couzens operating in plain sight. 0ur our other main story tonight. the scene from the skies of northern gaza, as people scramble for an aid delivery. scores of people were reportedly killed. and live in aberdeen where residents of hundreds of homes have been told they will have to move out due to concerns about raac concrete. the dramatic search for a five—year—old girl who'd wandered into a swamp, in florida. and we remember the tv chef dave myers, one half of the hairy bikers, who's died at the age of 66. and coming up on bbc news... sad, shocked and heartbroken — former manchester united play paul pogba reacts to being banned from football for four years for doping.
