a greek court drops all charges against nine men accused of causing the deaths of hundreds of migrants at sea. iran stages the first funeral procession for the late president — ebrahim raisi — who died in a helicopter crash on sunday. victims of the infected blood scandal — the biggest treatment disaster in nhs history — will hear this lunchtime the government's plans for compensation. hello, i'm annita mcveigh, welcome to bbc news now, three hours of fast—moving news, interviews and reaction. one passenger has been killed and more than 30 others others injured on a singapore airlines flight from london to singapore hit by severe turbulence.

the singapore—bound boeing plane was diverted to bangkok and landed at 15:45 local time. the aircraft was carrying a total of 211 passengers and 18 crew. the airline said in a statement... "singapore airlines offers its deepest condolences "to the family of the deceased. "our priority is to provide all possible assistance "to all passengers and crew on board the aircraft." joining us now on the line is our south east asia correspondent, jonathan head. katie austin joins us first. this strikes me as incredibly unusual news, to hear of the death apparently during this episode of turbulence. , . , apparently during this episode of turbulence-— turbulence. yes, a very sad incident — turbulence. yes, a very sad incident. turbulence - turbulence. yes, a very sad incident. turbulence itself. turbulence. yes, a very sad | incident. turbulence itself is turbulence. yes, a very sad - incident. turbulence itself is not particular unusual, but yes, we don't often hear of somebody actually dying as a result. so this was something that has affected a flight from london heathrow to

singapore that departed, we think, at about 10:30pm last night. singapore airlines has confirmed it did hit severe turbulence and diverted to bangkok, landing there at about 3115 local time. as you say, more than 200 passengers were on board, 18 crew. we don't have details at the moment of who exactly it was that has sadly died, or their nationality. not even whether it was a passenger or a member of crew. we are lacking in detail at the moment of the exact circumstances, the exact nature of how they sadly came to die. singapore airlines has offered its deepest condolences to the family of the deceased, and experts have been saying to us today that turbulence is something that planes are built to try to withstand. the crew are trained to deal with it but sometimes it can be difficult to deal with and it is not always easy to predict. people try to predict as best they can, but

sometimes, you know, you are the first plane to fly through turbulence and it can be hard to deal with. �* turbulence and it can be hard to deal with-— turbulence and it can be hard to dealwith. �* , ., ., deal with. and the protocol if the weather is _ deal with. and the protocol if the weather is to _ deal with. and the protocol if the weather is to be _ deal with. and the protocol if the weather is to be bumpy - deal with. and the protocol if the weather is to be bumpy is - deal with. and the protocol if the weather is to be bumpy is for - weather is to be bumpy is for everyone to wear their seat belts and for the crew to be seated. yes. and for the crew to be seated. yes, it is not for— and for the crew to be seated. yes, it is not for nothing _ and for the crew to be seated. yes, it is not for nothing that _ and for the crew to be seated. yes it is not for nothing that people are advised to wear their seat belt in turbulence. there are few details here and we are still to learn about whether the person... we simply don't know exactly what happened. turbulence is not uncommon and people are generally advised to wear their seat belts in that circumstance. the point of that is safety and to make sure that people don't get hurt but in this case a number of people have been hurt and somebody has sadly lost their life. a lot more detail to emerge, but for the moment, thank you. ihe middle east, medical workers in israel have told the bbc graphic allegations

about the treatment of palestinian detainees. staff at the sde teiman military hospital say detainees are routinely kept shackled to hospital beds, blindfolded, sometimes naked, and forced to wear nappies — a practice one medic said amounted to torture. in response, the israeli army said that handcuffing of detainees in the sde teiman military hospital was carried out in cases where the security risk requires it and that nappies were used only for those who have undergone medical procedures. let's speak to our middle east correspondent, lucy williamson who carried out the bbc�*s investigation — lucy take us through yourfindings. well, we spoke to three doctors who worked at the sde teiman military hospital, two of them who worked in the early weeks after the hamas attacks in october and one, a senior doctor, was still working there. we also spoke to many other people with good knowledge of the issues. a

palestinian man who was to detained by israel and human rights groups. many of the people who spoke to us directly about what they sought within the facility wanted to remain anonymous because this is such a sensitive issue. but they made a range of allegations, that pain relief on occasion was denied, that patients in the hospital unit were routinely shackled to their beds, and that request for medical treatment sometimes went ignored. sufian abu saleh survived months of war unscathed. he left military detention in israel permanently disabled. a taxi driver from khan younis, released without charge after weeks of interrogation. his return soured by sadness. translation: my leg got infected and turned blue l and soft as a sponge. after seven days they took me to the military hospital. they operated twice to clean the wound but it didn't work. afterwards they took me to a public

hospital where the doctor gave me two options — my leg or my life. neither israel's army nor health ministry has responded to these allegations. there is growing concern over the medical care of gazan detainees in israel. classed as unlawful combatants even before interrogation, doctors say they are kept shackled and blindfolded, including during hospital treatment. allegations have centred on a new field hospital at the sde teiman military base. one senior medic there says patients are kept blindfolded and in nappies, with all four limbs handcuffed to the bed. the army, not me, they create the patient to be depending 100% on you like a baby.

you are cuffed, you are with diaper, you need the water, you need everything. it is the dehumanisation of them. the army told us that the need to handcuff detainees in the medical facility was examined individually and daily and that cuffing was done when the security risk required it. diapers — or nappies — it said, were only for those patients with limited movement. the doctor told us these measures were applied to all patients without assessment, even those who couldn't walk. if they can't stand on their legs why are they shackled? i can't answer this, this is stupid. the hamas attacks on the 7th of october left israel's hospital staff treating captured fighters alongside their israeli victims. many current detainees are released without charge but the complex feelings of some medics remain.

two medics told us painkillers had been withheld, causing what one described as an unacceptable amount of pain. this man, who we are calling yoni, described a case he said took place in a public, civilian hospital. his words have been voiced by an actor. i have knowledge of one case where the painkillers were used selectively during the procedure. if you put together that someone is undergoing an invasive procedure which involves even incisions and the patient doesn't know about that and is blindfolded, then the line between treatment and assault thins out. treating gazan captives on military sites was meant to resolve doctors' ethical dilemmas, but those dilemmas remain. the moment our hospital at sde teiman closes, one told me, we will celebrate. lucy williamson,

bbc news, jerusalem. lucy, telling me about any other impressions you have of that military hospital facility? military hospitalfacility? well, i think it is important _ military hospitalfacility? well, i think it is important to - military hospitalfacility? well, i think it is important to say - military hospitalfacility? well, i think it is important to say that l think it is important to say that the doctors we spoke to said they had been some small improvements, and the doctor we heard from in our report there said that he had encouraged the guards to loosen the handcuffs and to use different kinds of handcuffs, and that when he was in the operating theatre he made sure that the shackles were removed during operations, during those serious procedures. but the ethical complexity around this issue remains. the sde teiman field hospital was set up after the hamas attacks to take the pressure off, the dilemmas away from the public health system. we have heard from several doctors hear about how complicated that was in the days after the attack, when doctors and nurses in the public hospitals here

found themselves treating suspected hamas fighters who had been captured in israeli territory, sometimes in the same emergency departments as they were treating their victims. that has left a really complex legacy. this sde teiman hospital was an attempt by the government to take that burden away, but again, speaking to the doctor who was talking in our report there, he says he is under enormous pressure now from both sides. there are some of his colleagues, he says, who tell him that he should not be operating in this environment, where people are shackled, patients are shackled to their bed. other colleagues tell him he should not be there at all to treat these gals and detainees. luca; treat these gals and detainees. lucy williamson. — treat these gals and detainees. lucy williamson, thank _ treat these gals and detainees. lucy williamson, thank you. —— gaza. funeral processions for iranian president ebrahim raisi have begun after his body was recovered on monday from the wreckage of a helicopter crash. other ceremonies will take place across the country before he's buried on thursday with iran's supreme leader, ayatollah ali khamenei, will preside over the main ceremony.

rescue teams found no survivors from the crash, which happened on sunday as mr raisi was flying back from a trip to iran's northern neighbour, azerbaijan. the iranian foreign minister was also killed. the cause of the crash hasn't yet been established. with me is bbc persian�*s baran abbasi. huge crowds out on the street for this first ceremony.— huge crowds out on the street for this first ceremony. yes. the crowds are estimated _ this first ceremony. yes. the crowds are estimated at _ this first ceremony. yes. the crowds are estimated at around _ this first ceremony. yes. the crowds are estimated at around tens - this first ceremony. yes. the crowds are estimated at around tens of- are estimated at around tens of thousands. it was the first day of the ceremony that will last until thursday, and the bodies will be transferred through a number of cities before ebrahim raisi is buried in his home town. but the crowds don't represent the entire iranian population and it does not mean that hamas was a popular person amongst iranians. he was a very divisive figure —— ebrahim raisi.

when he took power it was largely uncontested and many of his rivals, including reformers, and also in 2022 his presidency was overshadowed by protests and he was believed to have had a hand in the killing of hundreds of protesters. a lot of people are expressing happiness at his death. find people are expressing happiness at his death. �* . , people are expressing happiness at his death. �* .,, i. , his death. and as you say, these ictures his death. and as you say, these pictures are _ his death. and as you say, these pictures are clearly _ his death. and as you say, these pictures are clearly not - his death. and as you say, these pictures are clearly not the - his death. and as you say, these pictures are clearly not the full l pictures are clearly not the full pictures are clearly not the full picture in terms of reaction in iran. i was reading that senior prosecutors are saying that they will try to arrest anyone behind online accounts who are criticising ebrahim raisi and saying they are cloud that this has happened. exactly. we already have reports that some people have been arrested because they indirectly expressed some kind of happiness or

satisfaction over his death. we had a lot of posts yesterday of people who had lost loved ones during the protest, people who had suffered life changing injuries during protests, and they were posting pictures of themselves dancing and being happy and celebrating. if they are in iran, there is a risk that they will be arrested or be imprisoned.— they will be arrested or be imprisoned. they will be arrested or be imrisoned. ., ~ i. , . ., imprisoned. thank you very much. you are watching — imprisoned. thank you very much. you are watching bbc _ imprisoned. thank you very much. you are watching bbc news. _ let's speak to negar mortazavi, an iranianjournalist and host of the iran podcast. hejoins us from he joins us from washington. thank you for your time today. we are seeing these pictures today, as we have just been discussing, of the first of the funeral processions for ebrahim raisi. behind this very public display, what is the level of

political turmoil in iran right now, in your opinion?— in your opinion? well, as your colleague _ in your opinion? well, as your colleague was _ in your opinion? well, as your colleague was also _ in your opinion? well, as your colleague was also saying, - in your opinion? well, as your| colleague was also saying, iran in your opinion? well, as your i colleague was also saying, iran is coming out of two years of massive anti—government protests, and a freedom movement but also a deadly crackdown of this. so the government is dealing with a series legitimacy crisis. a young generation particularly opposed with their radical political slogans that they have chanted during the protest. so i would call it a very polarised society situation. you have mourners, of course, on the street. you will also have funeral processions, but to the other extreme people are actually celebrating and expressing joy at the death of the president. so it is

legitimacy crisis that has been building up because of the grievances that have not been addressed by the state, by the central government over the years, and it has manifested itself in the form of street protests again again. what are women in iran are saying about ebrahim raisi �*s death and what happens next, and are those views generational?— views generational? yes, so the discontent. _ views generational? yes, so the discontent, the _ views generational? yes, so the discontent, the opposition - views generational? yes, so the discontent, the opposition and l views generational? yes, so the i discontent, the opposition and the protests, really the spark of it was the death in custody, the killing of the death in custody, the killing of the young woman who was a feminist, there was an uprising of youngsters. but also allies, intersectional communities of the society who have their own political, social and economic grievances against the country. but particularly women. this freedom movement because they are at the centre of this policy, the government �*s the policing of their lifestyle, of their attire, what they wear every day that they

go out in public, in the form of the morality police, this force that has really become a force of harassment. public harassment and violence against women. that was the core, the start of the freedom movement. ebrahim raisi was an ultraconservative religious clergy and he came from that background where he promised actually that form of crackdown, and we see that culminating in the formation of this women life freedom of movement. thank you forjoining us. as you can see, pictures coming life to us from tehran. the funeral processions for ebrahim raisi, but also for other victims of this helicopter crash.

five days of mourning taking place in iran, head of the burial on thursday of president ebrahim raisi. here in the uk, the covenant is expected to outline plans for a compensation scheme for victims of the nhs a contaminated blood scandal. it comes after a report, released on monday, outlined how there were years of deceptions and cover ups by doctors and successive governments — preventing people who were infected, and theirfamilies, from knowing what had happened. more than 30,000 people were infected with diseases like hiv and hepatitis c between the 19705 and 1990s. 3,000 have already died. rishi sunak said the episode brought

shame upon the british state. i'm joined now by cara mcgoogan, a journalist who's been investigating this story and wrote a book called �*the poison line — life and death in the infected blood scandal. i'm also joined by stephen smith who contracted hepatitis c from a contaminated blood transfusion. thank you both very much forjoining us today on bbc news. stephen first of all, i want to ask how you are doing today after what was clearly a very emotional day yesterday for everyone affected.— everyone affected. yes, exactly that. extremely _ everyone affected. yes, exactly that. extremely emotional. - everyone affected. yes, exactly that. extremely emotional. the everyone affected. yes, exactly - that. extremely emotional. the blood family. _ that. extremely emotional. the blood family. as _ that. extremely emotional. the blood family, as we like to call ourselves, we were there in force yesterday — ourselves, we were there in force yesterday and it was an extremely emotional— yesterday and it was an extremely emotional day. a long day for all. i travelled _ emotional day. a long day for all. i travelled from cornwall to london, that added extra mileage for me, but

risks with how they were making a medical treatment, a product that was meant to help people, not harm them. that, for me, was huge. also how sluggish we were in responding to hepatitis and aids when it came through. sir bryan said we should have reacted to aids in 1992 and by january 93 at the latest. —— 1983. but we were continuing to treat people into 1985 with this treatment. so that was big for me. and also the acknowledgement of the cover—up. this culture of defensiveness in the department of health, and the nhs, that has pervaded the a0 years. bind health, and the nhs, that has pervaded the 40 years. and do you think, briefly. _ pervaded the 40 years. and do you think, briefly, that _ pervaded the 40 years. and do you think, briefly, that as _ pervaded the 40 years. and do you think, briefly, that as you - pervaded the 40 years. and do you think, briefly, that as you call- pervaded the 40 years. and do you think, briefly, that as you call it. think, briefly, that as you call it the sluggishness of the response here was significantly slower than in other places?— in other places? yes. in america they reacted _ in other places? yes. in america they reacted quicker _ in other places? yes. in america they reacted quicker at - in other places? yes. in america they reacted quicker at the - in other places? yes. in america. they reacted quicker at the source of all of this. in america they stopped using an heat—treated factor eight, the dangerous version in

198a, when a heat—treated version was available and that killed the virus in it. canada had an inquiry in the 90s and it found that its slow response to the aids crisis had put it far behind america and led to many infections of hiv and hepatitis. around the world with so many different responses. the uk was one of the slowest. in a shocking example of what these pharmaceutical companies were capable of, they were continuing to dump their dangerous older products abroad, until countryside we are not taking out any more. so in 1985, they were shipping to taiwan, hong kong, argentina, singapore, israel, and there are documents that i have got in my book which say "let's keep selling this, we can't afford to lose the money if we just have to bend this product". at this point they know that it contains hiv and hepatitis. they know that it contains hiv and he atitis. . , they know that it contains hiv and he atitis. ,, , ~ ., , ., they know that it contains hiv and heatitis. ,, , ,, ., hepatitis. stephen, i know you say all of this has _ hepatitis. stephen, i know you say all of this has robbed _ hepatitis. stephen, i know you say all of this has robbed you - hepatitis. stephen, i know you say all of this has robbed you of- hepatitis. stephen, i know you say all of this has robbed you of the i all of this has robbed you of the best years of your life and you fear

the victims of the contaminated blood scandal. of course, we will bring you the main headlines of that through the afternoon. that is the house of commons life now and that statement is expected in the next few minutes. do stay with us here on bbc news. hello again. we've still got some low cloud, mist and murk across the north sea coastline and some of that will linger for much of the day. but generally speaking, today, it's going to be cloudier and cooler than yesterday with scattered showers, some of which will be heavy and thundery. and we'll see some more rain as we go through the course of wednesday and thursday. in fact, if we take this rainfall accumulation chart right the way through to friday, look at the dark blues and these greens — up to 70 millimetres of rainfall and around. lothian we're looking at even more than that potentially.

so it could lead to some issues. so we've got the low cloud, mist and murk clinging to some parts of the north sea coastline. it is quite extensive. we've got the showers in scotland, northern ireland, wales, in the southwest and some heavier rain coming in across the southeast. any of that combination could well prove to be thundery. lots of cloud developing through the day with one or two breaks. you could catch a shower in northern england and also parts of northern and eastern scotland, but it's once again north west scotland where we're going to see more sunshine and highs up to 22, possibly 23. through this evening and overnight, the rain in the southeast pushes northwards again. some of that will be heavy and thundery. to the north and south of that, cloudy with a few showers and overnight lows, nine to about 13 degrees. so we pick up that band of rain tomorrow. it's wrapped around this area of low pressure. now, this is the direction and track we expect the low pressure to take, but there's still a level of uncertainty about it. the track and the timing

of this rain could change. however, this is what we think, that it's going to be pretty wet across northern england, wales and in through southern central and then northern scotland. one or two showers getting into northern ireland, drier as we push further south with one or two showers. it's a breezier day than today and it will be a little bit cooler. our highs, 1a to 19. depending on what happens on wednesday will have an impact on thursday. but it looks like the northern half of the country is going to be wet and for northern ireland, wales and southern england, we are looking at a bit more cloud. you could catch a shower from this as well, and it's going to be a windier day and a cooler one. temperatures 11 to 17. as we head into the weekend, low pressure is close to the north. so for scotland and northern ireland at times it'll be cloudy and wet further south, drier. but bank holiday monday is looking pretty good at the moment.

the government is expected to announce the details of compensation for victims of the infected blood scandal in a statement on the house of commons in the next few minutes. ministers have reportedly earmarked around £10 million for a package of compensation. a report on the scandal released yesterday found that the nhs and successive governments had tried to cover up the scandal. this is the scene in the house of commons while we wait for that statement to be made by the paymaster general. our political respondent is standing by and watching all the developments. let's just pick up on what happened yesterday, which was a vindication for the thousands of people, 30,000 victims and their families, but todayis victims and their families, but today is equally important because they will finally find out how much compensation they will be given, and

when. ., �* , compensation they will be given, and when. . �*, , ., when. that's right. yesterday was a sombre and — when. that's right. yesterday was a sombre and bleak _ when. that's right. yesterday was a sombre and bleak and _ when. that's right. yesterday was a sombre and bleak and self- when. that's right. yesterday was a | sombre and bleak and self reflective moment for rishi sunak and for parliament more generally, where he acknowledged and apologised for decades of failure from governments of both parties, to comprehend and deal with this scandal. today, in contrast, is a day for technicalities. it is a day where the government will make clear how it plans precisely to redress what they now acknowledge was one of the great scandals of our time, of recent times. sirjohn glenn, a cabinet minister, paymaster general, is going to announce shortly precisely how this compensation scheme that the government is going to set up will work. as you said there, the report is that the government is looking at a figure of around £10 billion of compensation to go to notjust those who were infected with these contaminated blood products, but also the family

members and relatives who were affected by having a loved one whose life was changed and in many cases ended by being treated with these contaminated blood products. i don't know if we will get a precise figure for the overall bill because it will depend on how many people come forward, and still it is not quite clear how many people were affected by this appalling scandal. henry, possibly not a full figure today. do you think we will get a timeline because thousands have been waiting for the 19705, decade5 timeline because thousands have been waiting for the 19705, decades for this day? i waiting for the 1970s, decades for this da ? ~' ., , this day? i think the government is under pressure _ this day? i think the government is under pressure to _ this day? i think the government is under pressure to be _ this day? i think the government is under pressure to be quite - this day? i think the government is under pressure to be quite precise | under pressure to be quite precise about the timeline. it is notjust many people have been waiting decades, it is also people affected die, as campaigners point out. the

figure was that one
