we'll head up to the bbc sport centre. hi sarah. we start with a huge day at the bottom of the premier league 7 where nottingham forest say they're extremely disappointed with the decision of an independent commission to impose the sanction of four points for breaching the division's profit and sustainability rules. the punishment means forest drop into the relegation zone with luton now sitting just outside the bottom three. in a statement, forest added that there were �*dismayed by the tone a very strong statement from nottingham forest, they are extremely disappointed with the sanction because it's drops them into the relegation zone beneath luton town. but they also are very critical of how the premier league

have behaved in all of this, they say they are dismayed by the tone and content of the premier league's submission which they say has harmed the trust and confidence in the league. they say the eight points deduction that was sought by the premier league was utterly disproportionate, they say the premier league gave no consideration to the unique circumstances and mitigation was put forward by forest. and they make the point about other clubs that are coming up from the championship, aspiring ambitious clubs who want to notjust survive in the premier league but thrive in the premier league against those big established clubs. they do say this does harm to that possibility of clubs doing well when they have these rules in place. and central to this whole case is the losses that they've accrued but particularly since they were promoted to the premier league, the spending spree that they went on but

also the sale of brennanjohnson to tottenham hotspur, that happened in the middle of a transfer window. they essentially said they held out to get more money for him, and that has meant they have now fallen foul of the rules and they basically say that doesn't make sense for an ambitious club to be hit with this deduction as a result of that. fenerbahce say they will consider pulling out of the turkish league after some of their players were attacked by trabzonspor supporters following their win on sunday. there was a pitch invasion at full—time in trabzon and some players were forced to defend themselves. they were given a heroes�* welcome on their return to istanbul after the victory that saw them move two points behind leaders galatassary. but the club now say that they will hold an extraordinary general meeting on april two, when they will consider what action to take and that incudes withdrawing from the super lig. inter milan defender francesco acerbi has

been sent from italy's national team training camp following an allegation he racially abused napoli's juan jesus in sunday's serie a match. in close—up television images, juanjesus appeared to be telling the referee that acerbi used a racist slur. juanjesus also pointed at his shirt sleeve which had a �*keep racism out�* badge as part of the league 5 anti—racism campaign. acerbi has denied using any racial vocabulary. britain�*s most successful female olympian, dame laura kenny says the time was right for her to step away from cycling. the 31—year—old — who has won five olympic golds and seven world championship titles — announced her retirement earlier today — ruling her out of a fourth olympic appearance in paris this summer. with the big qualification coming around, you have to be qualified, the last opportunity is the end of april. i would have had to compete by then and the pressure of that was making me be like, i don�*t want to do this. so i don�*t think there

was a specific day. it has only been about ten days actually completely decided. it has been in my head for a little while, thinking, at the this is the right time for me. that�*s it for me for the moment. latest on israel gaza war. israel has killed the third most senior hammers commander in gaza, so my one... usjoe biden has held the first phone call in a month with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. us has a strong message to israel about going into rafah take a listen. the proposition is that hamas should not be allowed a safe haven in rafah

or anywhere else, but a major ground operation there would be a mistake. it would lead to more innocent civilian deaths, worsen the already dire humanitarian crisis, deepen the anarchy in gaza, and further isolate israel internationally. the eu�*s foreign policy chief, josep borrell, says israel is provoking and using starvation as a weapon of war. a new un backed report has warned that 1.1 million people in gaza, around half the population, are experiencing "catastrophic" shortages of food. israel denies its hampering the delivery of aid. overnight, its troops raided the largest hospital in gaza, al shifa, for the fourth time, as orla guerin, our senior international correspondent, now reports. sheer desperation in gaza city today and a tiny window of hope. this crush is to get a few kilograms of flour. most don�*t manage it. "there is nothing to eat

or drink," says om—omar. "children are dying. there are massacres when planes drop aid and people die." the eu says israel is provoking famine and has turned gaza into a killing ground. gaza was before the war the greatest open—air prison. today, it is the greatest open—air graveyard, a graveyard for tens of thousands of people and also a graveyard for many of the most important principles of humanitarian law. gunshots. in another district of gaza city, the sounds of battle. this is the area around al—shifa, gaza�*s largest hospital. inside their own homes nearby, civilians at risk from israel�*s fourth raid on the hospital.

here is the army�*s heavily edited video of the assault. it appears to show troops coming under fire as they approach the hospital complex. they shoot their way in. doctors told the bbc three patients died because the electricity was cut. the idf is conducting a high precision operation in limited areas of shifa hospital. we know that senior hamas terrorists have regrouped inside the shifa hospital and are using it to command attacks against israel. once again, families have been forced to flee the area. war weary and now with fresh trauma. this young boy says, "we were sleeping when they started bombing.

they shelled our home and there was shooting. afterwards they let us out. they undressed the man and took them to the tanks." for gazans, no escape from the danger. if they don�*t die of israel�*s bombardment, they may soon die of hunger. orla guerin, bbc news, jerusalem. let�*s speak to harpinder collacott, executive director for mercy corps europe thank you so much for coming on the programme. what�*s your experience of the situation right there right now? just as your earlier report has shown, the situation in regards to the population either being affected by shelling, or disease, and no

hunger is incredibly prolific. the only way to describe it is it�*s a catastrophic situation and for urgent action is not taken, we will see death bigger than we�*ve already seen at the moment. find see death bigger than we've already seen at the moment.— seen at the moment. and by urgent action, seen at the moment. and by urgent action. what you — seen at the moment. and by urgent action, what you mean by _ seen at the moment. and by urgent action, what you mean by that, - action, what you mean by that, what has to happen?— action, what you mean by that, what has to happen? we need to be able to net has to happen? we need to be able to get substantial — has to happen? we need to be able to get substantial food _ has to happen? we need to be able to get substantial food into _ has to happen? we need to be able to get substantial food into gaza, - has to happen? we need to be able to get substantial food into gaza, and . get substantial food into gaza, and this is not an easy feat. it�*s 2.3 million people that need to be fed. this is the size of the city such as the city of manchester that need urgent food until, unless that food is delivered we will see a famine, particularly in northern gaza at the moment. so the key thing that needs to happen here is a cease—fire, first of all, needs to be in place. because it�*s impossible to deliver aid while there is an ongoing conflict going on. min; aid while there is an ongoing conflict going on.— aid while there is an ongoing conflict going on. why can't more aid be getting _ conflict going on. why can't more aid be getting in _ conflict going on. why can't more aid be getting in right _ conflict going on. why can't more aid be getting in right now, - conflict going on. why can't more i aid be getting in right now, though? people will obviously understand that it

2.3 million people are on the brink of starvation, many of them particularly in northern gaza, it�*s only a matter of time before we see more and more deaths as a result of hunger. so first of all, it is a matter of opening up those crossings and making sure trucks can leave at and making sure trucks can leave at a faster pace than they are at the moment. unfortunately, the security checks that have been put in place are actually preventing aid from moving into gaza.— are actually preventing aid from moving into gaza. thank you very much for coming _ moving into gaza. thank you very much for coming on _ moving into gaza. thank you very much for coming on the - moving into gaza. thank you very . much for coming on the programme, thank you. much for coming on the programme, thank ou. ., ~ ,, the united nations has accused iran of �*crimes against humanity�* in its treatment of women and girls. the fact—finding mission was sparked by the death of 22—year—old mahsa amini while in custody for not wearing the hijab properly — which triggered mass protests and a crackdown on protesters. torture, rape and extra—judicial executions were among the violations found in iran.

bbc�*s persian�*s kasra naji spoke to sara hossain — chair of the un mission. it�*s been a long journey and we started it looking into the alleged human rights violations that occurred during the course of the protest that started on 16th september 2022. and in the course of our investigations, what we found has led us to conclude that there haven�*t only been violations of international human rights law, but there�*ve also been violations of international criminal law. and that�*s why we�*ve been compelled to make these findings of crimes against humanity. and the reason we�*ve come to that conclusion is that we found the ingredients of crimes against humanity, which is a widespread and systematic attack. like what? like violent, brutalfiring on protesters in demonstrations, largely peaceful protesters, in many places across the country, and also large numbers of people in different places. we found cases of killings, extrajudicial killings, cases of torture and ill—treatment, cases of rape, all happening across those patterns and against a civilian population. so we found all of the ingredients there.

we�*ve also made a finding of the crime against humanity of gender persecution, intersecting with persecution on grounds of ethnicity and religion. so in particular, violation of human rights and gender—based laws against women? it�*s specific, actually, it�*s one of the specific acts that�*s part of the crime against humanity, which is gender persecution. and we found that in the way in which a structured system of discrimination is applied against women, women and other minority groups, in fact, in the country at large. let�*s speak to gissou nia, who is director of the strategic litigation project at the atlantic council. thank you for coming on the programme. thanks for having me. what stood out to you from this

fact—finding mission today. the fact-finding mission today. the presentation _ fact-finding mission today. the presentation of _ fact—finding mission today. tue: presentation of the fact—finding mission today. tte: presentation of the mission's fact—finding mission today. t'te: presentation of the mission's report presentation of the mission�*s report was today, and what is very important is this finding against crimes against humanity. this is a finding that points to international criminal law, and what that means is that prosecutors around the world can use these findings to support possibly investigating islamic republic of iran officials that come into their borders, where they have laws that support that. and so for me that is very important, and the fact—finding mission actually made a recommendation in its report for the use of universaljurisdiction which is this idea that domestic prosecutors can prosecute international crimes that occur elsewhere by perpetrators elsewhere, and against victims elsewhere. but if they have the laws to support that, so very much in the same way that, so very much in the same way that we see a bunch of trials related to the syrian conflict that are happening in courts in germany.

interesting, because people often, well not accused but they hear the details gathered in reports like this, and then the worry is that report sits on a shelf and no—one is ever held accountable and nothing ever held accountable and nothing ever happens. so is it potentially that if anyone potentially involved travels, then that could instigate proceedings, and then also you talked about otherjurisdictions, how does that work if people don�*t travel and don�*t leave iran? t�*iiii travel and don't leave iran? i'll cive ou travel and don't leave iran? t�*ll give you one concrete example. right now in canada, there are nine islamic republic of iran officials or individuals linked to the regime that our present in canada. the canadian government is looking to deport those individuals instead of prosecute them even though one of the individuals currently up for depredation is somebody that committed crimes against humanity in protest violence and iran in

november 2019. protest violence and iran in november2019. so protest violence and iran in november 2019. so there are authorities that we can use in countries but there has to be the political will and there has to be the evidence. so these individuals do travel and it�*s something that we should be encouraging states to undertake when they find these individuals in their borders. thank ou so individuals in their borders. thank you so much _ individuals in their borders. thank you so much for— individuals in their borders. thank you so much for coming _ individuals in their borders. thank you so much for coming on - individuals in their borders. thank you so much for coming on the . you so much for coming on the programme, thank you. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

the environmental group greenpeace could be thrown out of the un group that oversees deep sea mining for minerals. greenpeace has been accused of disrupting a research expedition in the pacific, in a row over access to billions of dollars worth of minerals on the seabed. greenpeace says mining has a negative impact on marine life, but mining companies say it�*s crucial for the transition to renewable energy. our climate editor,

justin rowlatt reports. a research vessel is assessing the impact of mining on the sea bed. protesters from greenpeace board the vessel, hampering the research, says the company. just another conflict between industry and activists? not in this case. the miners, like the greens, claim to be acting in the best interests of the planet. they say the metallic nodules they are after are crucial to the green transition and say hoovering them up is far less damaging than mining on land. this is what the miners are after, this is a polymetallic nodule. they take millions of years to form and they contain cobalt, nickel, copper, manganese, all metals used in renewable technologies. the problem is getting hold of these destroys the creatures that live among them. there isn�*t much life in the deep oceans but what scientists are learning is what there is far more diverse than was expected. but the deep ocean covers

40% of the surface of the earth, land is just 29%. the miners say they only want access to a tiny proportion. i understand why the greens are cautious, but on this occasion, they have got it wrong. and let�*s go back to first principles. we should be carrying out extractive industries in parts of the planet where there is the least life, not the most life. mr barron says greenpeace�*s approach is anti—science. the activist group says protest isjustified because his company aims to press ahead with mining before regulations have been agreed. there is so much science out there already which is urging extreme caution. 800 scientists, more than, have said we should not be transitioning right now to actually mining. we don't want to see licences coming forward... but they are not transitioning to mining, they are collecting evidence, right? you said yourself, we need more science. and then greenpeace is blocking the effort to get that science is done, aren�*t you?

i think there is a big difference between tick box science by a company that has a clear commercial interest in the outcomes of that research, and independent scientific research which is helping us understand the complexity and fragility of deep ocean environments. a decision about greenpeace�*s future with the international seabed authority will be made at the meeting injamaica. the un body says it aims to agree rules for mining by 2025. justin rowlatt, bbc news. the first flying taxi could take off in the uk by 2026. that�*s according to the uk government�*s future of flight action plan which will see drones and other flying vehicles becoming more autonomous. by 2030, it is predicted that the first pilotless flying taxi will take off but experts say hurdles such as infrastructure and public acceptance need to be overcome first. let�*s speak to nadjim horri. he�*s a lecturer in aerospace control at the university of

but like intercity flights, etc, those will also become a reality eventually, according to the plan. while we wait and see, fascinating and exciting. thank you very much for coming on the programme. thank ou, thank for coming on the programme. thank you. thank you _ for coming on the programme. thank you. thank you very _ for coming on the programme. thank you, thank you very much. _ it�*s not that impressive close—up, but it all makes sense when you see it with the tree. when banksy comes to town so does everyone else. a treat for the locals who just happened to be passing. i think it�*s amazing, honestly. i�*ve always known about banksy�*s artwork and i didn�*t actually know there was going to be one so close to home so, yeah, really nice to see. i think it's incredible. we were just out on a little morning walk and just happened to stumble across it and i think it's wonderful. i came inside the house and i started calling - the children, "wake up, - something is going on out there." even by this morning the artwork

had already attracted international interest. they had heard about it watching telly in the hotel. so we just took the bus, we are living two hours, but we just came here to see it. locals told us that the wall got its makeover in the early hours of yesterday morning and here is another thing they noticed. the green of the leaves is the same colour as islington council�*s signage. experts reckon banksy�*s message is an obvious environmental one. this is a particularly big thing because of its scale and because of the clarity of the message and the fact that it exists in this built environment in a really clever and smart way. also pleased it exists here is the local mp who came to see it as soon as he heard. already it has put us on the map. finsbury park has got a banksy. the wall clearly needed repainting anyway so banksy is just helping out. banksy kept fans waiting for more than a day before claiming this work. confirmation it is the real deal will only attract more visitors

to finsbury park�*s greenest tree. just a quick reminder now, just want to take you to the israel shot, this is a night—time shot there. tt�*s is a night-time shot there. it's from israel _ is a night—time shot there. it's from israel looking out toward gaza, and just a reminder of the line we were reporting, third most senior hammers commander reported to be killed. i�*m lewis vaughanjones, this is bbc news. hello there. it�*s felt quite warm out there for many of us today, particularly where we�*ve had the blue skies and the sunshine, but the weather is changing again and changes are happening out to the west because this cloud is coming in from the atlantic. the winds are picking up. we�*re going to see some rain arriving as well. ahead of that, we�*ve got some mild air. it could make 15 degrees around the moray firth and 16 is quite likely in the south—east of england. we do see that rain coming in,

together with stronger winds into northern ireland and we�*ll see one band of rain pushing eastwards overnight, followed by a second band of rain that�*s developing. that one could be quite heavy rain with gusty winds, gales likely in the far north of scotland. it will be a pretty mild night out there, milder than it was last night. temperatures no lower than 9 or 10 degrees. those two bands of rain that we start with in england and wales willjust tend to fade away and it will brighten up in many places, leaving just a few showers. a few showers will continue in northern ireland, but the earlier, heavier showers in scotland will move away, sunshine will come out and the winds will ease as well. temperatures still reaching 12 or 13 degrees in scotland and northern ireland, but again peaking at 16 in the south—east of england. we could see a bit of rain developing in the south—west of england by the end of the day. that weather front is going to move back northwards again overnight and into wednesday, taking rain northwards too. some of that rain for a while affecting northern ireland, perhaps some southern and eastern parts of scotland. most of the rain more likely

from the south—west into wales, through the midlands and across northern england. scotland and northern ireland turning drier and brighter through the day. across the south—east of england it may stay dry, as well. here it is still quite mild — 16 or 17 degrees — but behind the rain, to the north, things are cooling off a little bit now. we�*re all going to see some rain over this week ahead, but there may not be too much rain across the north—east of scotland and we�*re probably going to miss most of the rain in the south—east of england. it�*s going to be wetter in the west, particularly across western parts of scotland. as we head into thursday, we will see the winds picking up across northern areas and these weather fronts bringing more rain into scotland and northern ireland in particular. as we move into the end of the week and into the weekend, it�*s staying windy, but the wind direction is changing, eventually coming to the north—west or the north. that will bring colder weather and lots of showers.

hello, i�*m lewis vaughanjones. you�*re watching the context on bbc news. translation: this is happening | thanks to you, citizens of russia. crowd chanting he had closed the political space, had locked up political opponents, some of his political opponents had tragically died, and so there was nothing free or fair about this election and the outcome was preordained.

the kremlin couldn�*t care less what the west thinks. it paints a picture of a president who enjoys overwhelming support of his people. in our panel leanne caldwell and will bejoining someone in our panel leanne caldwell and will be joining someone from the washington post live. we will get the latest from russia in the moment but first the headlines. the white house says israel has killed the third most senior commander in gaza and the spokesperson says the president biden had told the israeli prime minister that a ground offensive in rafa with more than a million palestinians would be a mistake.
