thousands in iran mourn the country's president, ebrahim raisi, and seven others who died in a helicopter crash. also coming up on the world today: # you think you can stop what we do? it's called the spark and has been declared the song of the summer — a viral sensation from a group of irish children, who filmed the video in a day. hello and welcome to the world today. a 73—year—old british man died and seven people were critically injured when a flight from london to singapore hit severe turbulence. passengers shot this video inside the plane —

it shows the debris and open overhead lockers as well as injured passengers being stretchered off the plane, while ambulances waited on the tarmac. one of the singapore airlines crew told a passenger it was the worst turbulence she'd experienced in her 30—year career. this was the scene on the tarmac with emergency services surrounding the plane. the singapore—bound aircraft was diverted to bangkok and landed at 3.16pm in the afternoon local time. it was carrying 211 passengers and 18 crew. our south east asia correspondent jonathan head has this report. ina in a moment, we will speak live with our correspondent live in singapore, but here is our southeast asia correspondentjonathan head with the very latest. shaken by their terrifying ordeal, the passengers were met by several ambulances as they landed in bangkok. they'd been eating their breakfast when the boeing airliner plunged without warning. jerry was travelling with six other family members to a wedding in australia. bit of turbulence, and then suddenly

the plane plunged...| don't know how far, but they said 6,000 feet. it didn't seem like 6,000 feet. but it was a long way. so sudden, there was no warning at all, and i ended up hitting my head on the ceiling, my wife did. some poor people who were walking around ended up doing somersaults. it was instantaneous. it really was. and horrible. the aircraft was over thailand, on the last stage of a 12—hour flight from london to singapore, when it dropped a staggering 6,000 feet, experts believe, throwing any passengers not wearing seat belts into the ceiling. the pilot then declared an emergency and asked to land at bangkok, the closest airport. translation: we currently have seven cases of critical injuries, _ 23 cases of medium injuries, including a flight attendant.

the rest are minor injuries. 0ccasional air turbulence is a risk people know comes with modern—day flying, but the singapore airlines crew told passengers that this was the worst turbulence they had ever experienced. it will take an investigation now to find out whether this was something that came out of the blue or whether there were other factors involved. images from inside the aircraft show just how powerful the forces were that the passengers were subjected to — a rare occurrence, certainly, but a frightening one too. jonathan head, bbc news, bangkok. joining me now is monica miller, our correspondent at the airport in singapore for us, and we know that the relatives of the victims of this have been arriving at the airport, and also the airlines and airport authorities are bringing barriers into triton separate the media as

well from what's happening? yeah, ou can well from what's happening? yeah, you can see — well from what's happening? yeah, you can see behind _ well from what's happening? yeah, you can see behind me, _ well from what's happening? yeah, you can see behind me, it- well from what's happening? yeah, you can see behind me, it is- well from what's happening? yeah, you can see behind me, it is quite l you can see behind me, it is quite the barrier, we are not getting anywhere close to these passengers that we are expected to get off of a plane in just a few hours. these are the people who are well enough to have gotten onto reach their final destination. but if you can imagine, the family members and friends to pick these people up couple was expected around 6pm our time here in singapore, it has been eight hours that they have waited to hear any information about their loved ones or whether they were actually going to make it here to singapore as we had just heard injonathan�*s report. several of them have been hospitalised in bangkok. where they have put these family members is in a heavily secured area about three floors up from where i am standing right now about way from the media, to give them some privacy, also to offer them services. we did see one family member who was visibly shaken by what had happened today, and

their mental health officials cupping them get through this process. again, we understand there is a flight that will carry the healthy passengers to singapore, we are expecting that hopefully to land sometime in the next few hours. find sometime in the next few hours. and 'ust sometime in the next few hours. and just bringing — sometime in the next few hours. and just bringing me a little bit more information, if you can, monica, about what singapore airlines has been saying about what is happened, are we getting any more details? yes, we have actually been getting details on social media through x, as well as facebook, and one of the things they did say in their latest statement was that they had sent a team over to bangkok to reinforce the crews that are on the ground, also i think getting any information to investigators as they start to piece together exactly what exactly happened. they have also said that they have been offering all kinds of assistance to the passengers as well

assistance to the passengers as well as the families, but beyond that, we are nowjust waiting for that as the families, but beyond that, we are now just waiting for that flight to arrive, and it's a bit unclear exactly what time that will be, but clearly you can see they are going to try to cordon us off from having access to them so that they can go on with their day. it has been a very long one stop what i can imagine, yes, absolutely. monica miller, thank you very much indeed, our correspondent in singapore. let's speak to tim atkinson, who is an aviation consultant and a former aircraft accident investigator. it's really interesting to talk to you, thanks so much forjoining us on the world today. monica mentioned there will be some kind of investigation. what form with that investigation. what form with that investigation take given the evidence we have? will investigators be looking at the cockpit recorder, to work out what the pilot knew beforehand, how will it all pan out? it will be down to the investor

getting authority —— investor getting authority —— investor getting authority —— investor getting authority to decide how exactly procedural but yes, investigating the flight deck crew, cabin crew, the recorded flight data, which usually provides an excellent, particulate with this aircraft, suite of data, informative unknot only what was happening but some indications as to why it was happening, if the cockpit voice recorder has been preserved and very often we find that it has not been, unfortunately, there were all kinds of things afoot to try to address that, frequent problem, but it can provide useful information as to why things have played out as they have. and those things will come together into a report which will address actually what happened and possibly make some recommendations to prevent a similar event in the future. we all know that _ a similar event in the future. we all know that turbulence is pretty common, but for a person to lose their life and for seven people to be critically injured and a further

20 or so to be injured, that is something pretty terrifying to have happened? something pretty terrifying to have ha ened? , ., something pretty terrifying to have hauened? , ., . ., , happened? yes, and particularly civen the happened? yes, and particularly given the aircraft _ happened? yes, and particularly given the aircraft involved - happened? yes, and particularly given the aircraft involved is - happened? yes, and particularly given the aircraft involved is a i given the aircraft involved is a very large aircraft. the effects of turbulence depend rather on the aircraft's sizeable small aircraft are more susceptible to severe turbulence encounters resulting in injuries or indeed death then large ones, and given that this is a triple seven, clearly whatever the event encountered was very significant full so we are seeing is climate change is occurring that turbulence is becoming more common, and more severe, and that's something which the aviation industry is trying to address at the moment. 50 industry is trying to address at the moment. , , .,, industry is trying to address at the moment. , , ., moment. so 'ust if people are watchin: moment. so just if people are watching this _ moment. so just if people are watching this and _ moment. so just if people are watching this and are - moment. so just if people are watching this and are worried | moment. so just if people are - watching this and are worried about turbulence and about how serious these things can be bought reassurance can you give to people? events like this are very rare indeed. there are various layers of defence against turbulence

encounters, starting with pre—fight briefing stage, where pilots have metre logical forecasts to indicate where turbines might be expected, then there getting reports from people up ahead chao those methods are not all robust all the time. the investigation will show what kind of turbulence this was. and whether it might have better been avoided. but unpredictable encounters nonetheless occur. my very best advice, which i've given on every welcome on board pa i have given it last 20 years or so, is that if you're in your seat, keep your seat belt fastened. that's your best protection against this kind of event. and i'm sure the investigation will focus in particular on whether the seat belt signs were... indeed possibly the outcomes for those passengers who were not strapped in versus those who were. . ~ were not strapped in versus those who were. ., ~ , ., ,

royal marine, he appeared in court last week and was due to appear at the old bailey on friday facing charges under the new national security act which was of course introduced last year to combat threats from states like russia, iran and china, sojust to reiterate, 37—year—old matthew trickett has been found dead in a park in maidenhead and also the police force are saying they referred themselves to the independent office or police conduct because it was in contact with mr trickett because he had to report directly to the police station because he was on bail from the court. we will bring you more on that story as it will be —— as and when we get it here on bbc news. the uk government has outlined what it's described as a comprehensive plan to compensate those affected by the nhs blood scandal. at least 30,000 people were given blood products infected with hiv and hepatitis c between the 19705 and early �*90s and 3,000 have died since. today, the government has said that

interim payments of £210,000 will be paid within 90 days for the most urgent cases before a wider compensation scheme is established. here's our health editor, hugh pym. hopeful anticipation, waiting for the government's statement, four boys and their loved ones who were at the special school treloar�*s in hampshire. i would like to make a statement following the final report of the infected blood inquiry. they're haemophiliacs who were subjected to trials without consent and were infected with hiv and hepatitis c. the whole community's bravery through immense suffering is what has enabled justice today. of the 122 haemophiliacs who attended the school, 75 have already died from their infections. with our firm commitment to compensate those touched by the scandal, the infected blood community knows that their cries forjustice have been heard.

in a moment of unity, the opposition benches agreed. and i repeat our commitment to work on a cross—party basis to help deliver the compensation scheme and get the money, the final money to victims, as soon as possible. so who will get compensation? there'll be payments to those infected or their estate if they've died, also to those affected partners, family and friends looking after a loved one. payments will be exempt from tax and not means—tested. the final payment will be made by the end of the year. there'll be interim payouts of 210,000 within 90 days to those infected. this follows a first interim payment in 2022. it'll be run by a new body led by sir robert francis, who's already drawn up compensation plans for the inquiry. so what did the treloar students think? very pleased to hear that sir robert francis will be chairing it, looking across this for us,

because, as they say, his report was everything we could have wanted and more. the devil's in the detail. it's all words at the moment. there's nothing concrete, is there? speed is of the essence to us. we were hoping for the commitment | that this would be done and dusted | before the next election. i think the best thing is that they've said that they're going to include everyone. so that's families, children, siblings. dina and her husband dave were at the commons to hear the statement. she contracted hepatitis c through a blood transfusion. she's reserving finaljudgment. it's a step forward, but i'm probably going to put it away to save until we know exactly what the full compensation package is going to be. still concerned, hopeful. at least there's some progress now. i mean, they've been stonewalling. now, for over 12 months, they've had the final report on compensation. it's emerged that some victims might get a total, including interim compensation,

of £2.5 million. but right now, they feel cautious and needing more reassurance about what will happen. hugh pym, bbc news. still to come on the world today: we hearfrom inside sudan, where there have been more reports of intense fighting. and the england training squad for the euros is announced. who are the big winners and losers? we will tell you the latest. around the world and across the uk, this is the world today on bbc news.

let's bring you some breaking news now coming into us, it's been reported that riggio pochettino, the chelsea manager, has agreed to leave the football team by mutual consent with reports now in the papers in the last few minutes —— mauricio. he has apparently left his position as

chelsea head coach by mutual consent after less than 11 months in charge of chelsea who of course came a disappointing sixth in the premier league this year. his resignation comes after one season in the job. he enjoyed a strong into the campaign for some but not strong enough for others and there were rumours during the season. he did not see eye to eye with the chelsea owners. mauricio pochettino has left chelsea by mutual consent, according to reports. we will bring you more on that story in our sports bulletin throughout the day. let's ta ke let's take you to iran now. funeral rites for iran's president have begun in the north—west of the country. ebrahim raisi was killed in a helicopter crash near the azerbijan border on sunday. his body is expected to be buried in his birthplace, mashhad, on thursday. this funeral procession in the city of tabriz was packed with mourners, but not all iranians supported the president and many have been celebrating his demise on social media.

iran's government has declared tomorrow a public holiday and a large funeral is expected to be held in the capital tehran, where the supreme leader ayatollah khamenei will lead prayers. 0ur diplomatic correspondent caroline hawley reports. i spoke to ramin parham, who is an author and iranian political analyst, and asked him how much instability this will bring to iran. quite a bit, maryam, quite a bit, because as you said, this regime is inherently unstable. and the reason is very simple. we have seen it in similar cases in the 20th century, because it's a so—called hybrid system. that is, by hybrid structures, i mean structures that are revolutionary and structures that are conventional governing bodies. and these two structures — since the very beginning — have been in a very difficult cohabitation with each other, because the revolutionary structures

have their stated mission to export the revolution at any cost. indeed, the cost is very high to export a revolution, whereas the conventional governing bodies within the same system, hybrid system, have as their stated mission to run the country — that is, to bring down inflation, provide jobs, social security and so on. the un has described the move by israel to shut down a live feed looking into gaza operated by the associated press as shocking. israeli officials used powers under a new foreign media law to seize a camera and broadcasting equipment. they said ap had been providing images to aljazeera, banned by israel earlier this month.

ap condemned the move as an abuse of israel's foreign media law. the white house called the decision concerning develop it and urged israel reverse it. medical workers in israel have told the bbc that palestinian detainees from gaza are routinely being kept shackled to hospital beds and forced to wear blindfolds and nappies. israel's army has said that restraints are only used when there's a security risk. this report from our middle east correspondent lucy williamson contains some details and images you may find distressing. sufian abu salah 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's 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. dr donchin 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.

here, the communities secretary, michael gove, has accused organisers of pro—palestinian marches of not doing enough to stop some demonstrators spreading anti—jewish messages. in a major speech on tuesday in london, the conservative mp and cabinet minister warned that rising anti—semitism threatened to cause a "profound breach in the west's collective defence". mr gove claimed that many pro—palesinian marches included chants calling for the "annihilation of israel". let's have a listen to some of what he had to say. now, of course, i know that many on these marches are compassionate people, driven by a desire for peace and an end to suffering. but they're side by side with those who are promoting hate. the organisers of these marches could do everything in their power to stop that, but many, the majority, don't. and we know now that it is genuinely dangerous for people to be openly, clearly, proudlyjewish

near these marches. at a time when we're all encouraged to be our whole authentic selves, to celebrate our identity, to be out and proud, there is only one group told that they and they alone can only be tolerated on terms set by others — jews. stay with us here on the world today with maryam moshiri. more in a moment. hello, thanks forjoining me. we had some wet weather today, but wednesday for some of us is going to be a wash—out. persistent rain, heavy at times, on the way, and it's starting this evening. now, here's the forecast. it's already been quite wet in east anglia and the south—east. the rain will spread into the midlands through the night. it'll nudge into the peak district and then spread into northern england by the early hours of wednesday morning. could reach eastern parts of wales too. but scotland and northern ireland, apart from a few showers here and there, actually looking generally dry.

so tomorrow's forecast, then. this is the morning, a widespread area of rain. we'll zoom in and see what's happening around 3pm or 4pm in the afternoon. now, by that stage, i think the heaviest of the rain will have cleared east anglia, the south—east, and along the southern counties, blustery winds and occasional showers. so here's that persistent rain from the midlands, wales, the north of england, pretty much almost everywhere. that rain's just nudging into southern scotland. more showery, though, across the highlands. but look at northern ireland — escapes most of the rain. if anything, that rain should reach you later in the afternoon, probablyjust into the east of northern ireland. now, this is an area of low pressure that's parked itself in the north sea, and that weather front will just spiral around the centre of the low. so in some areas, the rain will keep falling in the same place for a couple of days. so, really, a substantial amount of rainfall is possible. now, by thursday, the rain will be, well, not quite as heavy and it'll be more patchy, but i think a lot of cloud and at least the chance of encountering some

rain on thursday. best of the weather in the south, the south—east, as well as east anglia. infact, in norwich, london, portsmouth, plymouth, it could actually end up being a fairly bright, if not sunny, day, but cool. now, how much rain are we going to get? well, through wednesday and thursday, a lot. now, these teal colours here across the pennines and generally northern england could indicate as much as a0 to 50 millimetres of rain. but the met office is suggesting that in some spots, in the extreme case, we could have as much as 100 millimetres of rain or more, and that will lead to some flooding. now, here's the good news. as we head towards the end of the week and into the weekend, the weather will slowly settle down. and there are indications that as we go through the weekend into bank holiday monday, we are going to have primarily dry and bright weather with just a scattering of showers, so some good news for you there. bye— bye.

this is bbc news, the headlines. a 73 year old british man dies — and seven passengers — are critically injured on a flight from london to singapore. hit by severe turbulence — the singapore airlines plane reportedly dropped more than 6,000 feet in just a matter of minutes. the uk government outlines — what it describes as a comprehensive plan — to compensate those impacted by the infected blood scandal.

thousands in iran mourn the country's president, ebrahim raisi, and seven others, who died in a helicopter crash. also coming up on the world today: #do # do you think you can stop what we do, i doubt it. i? and it's called �*the spark�* and has been declared the song of the summer — a viral sensation from a group of irish children, who shot the video in a day. the neighbour of a woman who was mauled to death by two xl bully dogs feared the animal was dangerous and warned her child not to touch them. the attack happened at the house just behind me. just after one o'clock were officers were called about a woman in her 50s been sacked

by two dogs.
