in compensating those families. as our health editor hugh pym reports, interim payments of £210,000 will be paid within 90 days for the most urgent cases. 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. 0ne one of those directly affected is jill vincent. she had to test that showed a malfunctioning liver. two years later, she found out she had hepatitis c. blood in the transfusion she was given in 1988 after the birth of her daughter was infected. these are her thoughts on today �*s announcement. infected. these are her thoughts on today 's announcement.— infected. these are her thoughts on today 's announcement. when walked into the house _ today 's announcement. when walked into the house of— today 's announcement. when walked into the house of commons _ today 's announcement. when walked into the house of commons this - into the house of commons this morning ifelt into the house of commons this morning i felt really good stop i felt really good. we had a good day, the report give us everything that we wanted. rishi had made a heartfelt apology, and then itjust kind of went downhill really rapidly. i can't get life insurance,

health insurance. it is a struggle to live. it is a struggle to be, because you always have this knowledge that today could be the day that you get the liver cancer. i have seen so many people die. how many recommendations have been made over the years by different inquiries that still haven't been fulfilled? that is what we are up against now. this will be forgotten soon. it is news today. we won't, we want. i will live, soon. it is news today. we won't, we want. iwill live, because i'm not going to let this be forgotten. funeral ceremonies for the late president, ebrahim raisi, have been taking place in iran today. these are the pictures from tabriz in north—west iran — a city close to where the president's helicopter crashed on sunday.

this was the start of three days of events. there will be official ceremonies in the holy city of 0m — and the capital tehran. iran's supreme leader, ayatollah ali khamenei, will preside over the main ceremony. mr raisi was flying back from a visit to neighbouring, azerbaijan when the helicopter went down, in thick fog. iran's foreign minister was also killed. the cause of the crash has not yet been established. joining me now is rana rahimpour — iran analyst and former bbc presenter. always good to have you on the programme. let me show our viewers while we are talking some pictures from tehran tonight. this is the grand mosque. you see thousands of people gathered there to listen to clerics tonight. assumedly it will be a very big event tomorrow? definitely a big event. 0bviously populated by the supporters of the islamic republic, but don't forget that president raisi was very unpopular. he was elected in the

election that had the lowest turnout in the history of the islamic republic. the turnout in the 2021 elections was 49%. the first time ever that the participation was less than 50%. in those elections, 13% of ballots were spoiled ballots and protest balance. many people left ballot papers blank. so, he was very unpopular. and more unpopular in later years, especially since 2022 protests and the compulsory hijab protests and the compulsory hijab protests after a 22—year—old woman was killed in the custody of the so—called morality police. protesters went out on the streets, over 500 people were killed, and thousands were in prison. and the iranian economy, is continuing its own full stop so, even though we receive footage of thousands of people joining the morning receive footage of thousands of peoplejoining the morning ceremony of president raisi, it doesn't mean

that he was a popular character inside the country. fix, that he was a popular character inside the country.— inside the country. a lot of analysts — inside the country. a lot of analysts say _ inside the country. a lot of analysts say they - inside the country. a lot of analysts say they don't - inside the country. a lot of. analysts say they don't expect anything to change in terms of foreign policy or direction of the country, and already some names of conservative hardliners have been lined up to replace him, but how influential was he within the government, and also on that committee that will choose the ayatollah�*s successor? he committee that will choose the ayatollah's successor? he wasn't very influential. _ ayatollah's successor? he wasn't very influential. he _ ayatollah's successor? he wasn't very influential. he was - ayatollah's successor? he wasn't very influential. he was more - ayatollah's successor? he wasn't very influential. he was more of| ayatollah's successor? he wasn'tl very influential. he was more of a puppet of the iranian supreme leader, ayatollah company. iridium follows policy is —— iranian foreign policy is dictated by the spring leader. even if you could understand persian, you could see that he was not articulate at all. many of the things he said didn't make sense in persian. so, he didn't have much influence. his death is not going to

change much. he was a member of the 55 seat assembly of experts that is in charge of choosing the iranian supreme leader. she was just one member of this assembly of experts. there are 5a other members. so, in terms of choosing the next ringleader, he wasjust terms of choosing the next ringleader, he was just one of many. his death is going to create a bit of tension inside the islamic republic, especially because now they have to have an early presidential election, but apart from that, not much will change. it is interesting that lloyd austin, the defence sector of united states, was quick to say they had no part to play in this crash. there was some fear in washington, and i think also injerusalem, that tehran might quickly allege the transport have been sabotaged. why do you think they were so quick to talk about the weather and not point the finger? because they have done that in the

past. because they have done that in the ast. , ., because they have done that in the ast. , . ., , past. they have done in the past. it wasn'tjust — past. they have done in the past. it wasn't just the _ past. they have done in the past. it wasn't just the islamic _ past. they have done in the past. it wasn'tjust the islamic republic. . wasn'tjust the islamic republic. many iranian people were also suspecting that israel could have been taking part in an act of sabotage stop there are various reasons, because iran has a history of responding to these kind of movements from either israel and the united states, and as you remember, if you weeks ago, there is an escalation between iran and israel, and many countries in the region were worried that if any other countries were dragged into this, iran would have responded and we would have seen another escalation. but also, on the iranian side, i don't think there's any appetite to accuse any other countries or drag them into this, because if iran starts accusing other countries, they will have to retaliate and that is not something any country in the region are looking forward to. we will continue to watch those pictures closely from tehran. thank you very much for that.

let's talk about a story that is breaking in the uk this evening. a former royal marine accused of assisting the hong kong intelligence service has died in unexplained circumstances in a park in maidenhead. matthew trickett, an immigration enforcement officer and private investigator was accused of foreign interference and had already appeared at westminster magistrates�* court with two other people last week. thames valley police said trickett was found dead on sunday evening after a report from a member of the public. with me is our correspondent, ellie price. what of the police said about the circumstances surrounding his death? very keen to stress it is all unexplained at the moment. no postmortem examination on his body has taken place yet, so frankly, they don't know. as you say, his body was found on sunday any park. it appeared at court early last week and had been released on bail, and was due to appear at the old bailey

in london on friday, but as of yet we don't know exactly what happened. tell me about the appearance at the magistrates. 0r tell me about the appearance at the magistrates. or was he accused, and he was in the dock with him? he faced he was in the dock with him? he: faced two charges under the new national security law here in the uk. that is a law that was introduced to combat the threat from russia, iran, china, states like that. he was one of three men accused of to undertake information that we like to materially assist a foreign intelligence service, one of three men as i say facing that charge. it was also alleged that the trio forced entry into the british residents on the 1st of may, the beginning of this month. china, under which hong kong operates its special administrative, as a special administrative region, has denied those allegations, but obviously we are about to hear a bit more from him this friday.— him this friday. they were due to a- ear at him this friday. they were due to appear at the _ him this friday. they were due to appear at the old _ him this friday. they were due to appear at the old bailey, - him this friday. they were due to appear at the old bailey, right? i

him this friday. they were due to i appear at the old bailey, right? so, the investigation continues. any reaction from the family? understandably very upset. they have asked for privacy at this difficult time for them, and the lawyers for matthew trickett have said they are very saddened by his death. it comes obviously is a bigshot for them. —— a big shock for them. the dog is a high—profile name, given what he was charged with and what was about to happen at the old bailey, the central criminal court here in london, on friday. bud central criminal court here in london, on friday.— central criminal court here in london, on friday. and its mind at the moment. _ london, on friday. and its mind at the moment, we _ london, on friday. and its mind at the moment, we will— london, on friday. and its mind at the moment, we will continue - london, on friday. and its mind at the moment, we will continue to l the moment, we will continue to watch. —— unexplained at the moment. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

now, some breaking news about the conservative mp, craig mackinlay. you may or may not know he has been very ill and away from parliament for months, but will return to the house on wednesday after losing his hands and his feet to sepsis.

he was given only a 5% chance of survival when he was rushed to hospital from his home in kent last september. he was put into an induced coma as his organs began to fail. he is now back home and using these prosthetic limbs. he has been speaking to our political editor, helen catt, and that interview will be available in full on iplayerfrom 10pm tonight for those watching in the uk. but here is just a short clip from that interview. within about half an hour, i went this very, very strange blue, almost like your dress. yes, my whole body, top to bottom, everything blue. and that is, i can't remember the full name of it, but it's called a septic shock dic, is when you're having a a very severe sort of septic event. and they knew what it was and they pretty much immediately put me into an induced coma. what's the first thing you remember? yes, i remember coming to and there was discussions happening about these arms and legs, because by then they had turned black. they were like a plastic. you could almost knock them.

and it was like...it was like a like your mobile phone plastic. they looked like pharaoh's hand that had just been dug up or peat bog man. they were black, desecrating, clenched and just looked dead. they were black, dessicating, clenched and just looked dead. and when they looked dead, i wasn't really surprised that the potential outcome. these things are dead. your legs and arms are dead. joining me now is ceo and founder of the uk sepsis trust, dr ron daniels. doctor daniels, good to have you with us. how do we get sepsis? sepsis is the body's response to inspections. it is triggered by an infection, but in sepsis the body's immune system reacts very abnormally, and we don't stop it, that starts to cause damage to the body's own tissues and organs. you come u- body's own tissues and organs. you come up with _ body's own tissues and organs. you come up with an — body's own tissues and organs. you come up with an anagram that you have supplied to us which spells out the symptoms you should be looking

out for. maybe you can talk us through them?— out for. maybe you can talk us through them? out for. maybe you can talk us throu~h them? ~ ,,., , , ., through them? absolutely. these are the set of symptoms _ through them? absolutely. these are the set of symptoms that _ through them? absolutely. these are the set of symptoms that are - the set of symptoms that are important if you are very worried about ourselves or a loved one who seems to be deteriorating in front of verizon within —— in front of our eyes with an infection. as you can see, they spell the word sepsis. sorry speech confusion, extreme pain in thejoints, passing no sorry speech confusion, extreme pain in the joints, passing no you're sorry speech confusion, extreme pain in thejoints, passing no you're in or water in a day, severe breathlessness, a sense of it feels like i am going to die, people really do say that, and as we have heard from craig, skin that is mottled or bluish or very pale. any one of those symptoms in a context of infection symptoms, take yourself straight to a&e. every second counts. ., ~ ., , counts. indeed. i will talk about my own experience _ counts. indeed. i will talk about my own experience of _ counts. indeed. i will talk about my own experience of this _ counts. indeed. i will talk about my own experience of this in _ counts. indeed. i will talk about my own experience of this in a - counts. indeed. i will talk about my own experience of this in a second, j own experience of this in a second, but how many die from it each year? across the uk, we see about 245,000 people developing sepsis every year, with 48,000 people buying as a

result. for context, breast cancer, and i'm not diminishing her horrific breast cancer can be, my mum has just had breast cancer, that claims 11,000 lives a year give or take. this is four times as big a killer. and we don't talk about it. i have my own personal expense about this. we nearly lost climbing time, my daughter, who is two, and a big shout out to the doctors in rome who spotted it, but it was so serious we had a priest in the room, and she was going downhill very fast. ijust wouldn't want any parent to be in that position or to experience that. for parents of young children, and these tragic cases where parents don't spot it, what would your advice to then be?— don't spot it, what would your advice to then be? well, my advice to them is to _ advice to then be? well, my advice to them is to trust _ advice to then be? well, my advice to them is to trust your _ advice to then be? well, my advice to them is to trust your instincts. l to them is to trust your instincts. you know your child better than any health professional, as we have heard recently, with martha's being

put in place following the tragic death of martha mills, it is a very brave and foolhardy doctor who fails to listen to a very concerned parent. trust your instincts, be prepared to assert, be prepared to challenge the health care system, respectfully, and don't go until someone has reassured you why they think it isn't sepsis. that someone has reassured you why they think it isn't sepsis.— think it isn't sepsis. that was nearly our — think it isn't sepsis. that was nearly our mistake. - think it isn't sepsis. that was nearly our mistake. we - think it isn't sepsis. that was nearly our mistake. we were | think it isn't sepsis. that was - nearly our mistake. we were almost out of the gates, and a very kind nurse came running after us, literally grabbed climbing time and ran back off, and they'd seen the tests, and this was off the charts was up as you say, speed is of the essence. my advice, having been through it, is don't take any chances. are we getting better as a society, do you think, at recognising and treating sepsis? well, we have got a lot more public awareness around sepsis than we had, say, ten years ago. we have a lot more professional awareness and training around sepsis than we had 20 years ago. we welcome that nice

have just updated their guideline on sepsis for professional. i think it is not unfair to say that during and after the covid pandemic, we have taken several steps backwards. we failed to adequately address sepsis as we were doing prior to the pandemic, and people are likely to be coming to harm as a result. indeed. that is why it is so important when people like craig mackinlay speak out about it, go and have a look at some of the guidelines on the nhs website as well, because they are important to know. so many people suffer from sepsis and die from it. thank you very much, doctor ron daniels, for coming on the programme. thousands of people have been killed or displaced during this conflict in ukraine, and most nights on this programme we track the war, try to explain what is happening and where it is heading. but we rarely talk about the environment in ukraine and the animals that live in the vast steppes and plains that

span the country. but this week a new study was published which focused on the migration patterns of the greater spotted eagle, which suggests the birds have shifted their flight path to avoid areas most affected by the conflict. it means some birds are now taking far longer to reach their breeding grounds, which yes could impact the survival rates for their young. joining me now is phd student from the university of east anglia and co—author of the study, charlie russell. charlie, good to have you on. not just large detours, but also curtailed pit stops to rest and refuel. what sort of effect that have on breeding patterns? yes. refuel. what sort of effect that have on breeding patterns? yes, so when we think— have on breeding patterns? yes, so when we think about _ have on breeding patterns? yes, so when we think about the _ have on breeding patterns? yes, so when we think about the main - when we think about the main findings, having to find much further than in previous years and not being able to make these really important stopovers on the way to the breeding grounds, that is going to have much greater energy expenditure for the migration and impact their ability to recover that energy and their fitness, which when you go into the breeding period might have carry—over effects and

delay things like the onset of breathing, and impact parents�* ability to reach the physical condition they need to be in to successfully raise young. haifa condition they need to be in to successfully raise young. how do you track these birds, _ successfully raise young. how do you track these birds, and _ successfully raise young. how do you track these birds, and how— successfully raise young. how do you track these birds, and how many - successfully raise young. how do you track these birds, and how many are | track these birds, and how many are you tracking? we track these birds, and how many are you tracking?— you tracking? we started working with the greater _ you tracking? we started working with the greater spotted - you tracking? we started working with the greater spotted eagles i you tracking? we started working | with the greater spotted eagles in the region back in 2017, fitting gps tracking devices to the birds. that is kinda like a backpack that they were with a gps device, similar to what you find in your phones. it is powered by solar panel. from that, we get regular updates about their and what they are doing, and we never expect to be following through and active conflict zone, but it has allowed us to get some insight into how this conflict is impacting their behaviour. i'd like to get the impression that the detours are on the spur of the moment in reaction to sporadic the spur of the moment in reaction

might be more difficult for them to adapt and there might be longer term impacts as well. you adapt and there might be longer term impacts as well-— impacts as well. you presume that if this is the case _ impacts as well. you presume that if this is the case for _ impacts as well. you presume that if this is the case for the _ impacts as well. you presume that if this is the case for the greater - this is the case for the greater spotted eagle, beautiful bird as it is, it would follow that this is the case for other migratory birds as well? , , ., ., case for other migratory birds as well? , ., , , case for other migratory birds as well? , ., , i, well? yes, so our study is opening the windows _ well? yes, so our study is opening the windows to _ well? yes, so our study is opening the windows to some _ well? yes, so our study is opening the windows to some of— well? yes, so our study is opening the windows to some of the - well? yes, so our study is opening l the windows to some of the possible effects the conflict has on wildlife and the environment, and there's a lot we still don't know going on in these areas. flan lot we still don't know going on in these areas-— lot we still don't know going on in these areas. . , ., ., ~ ., , these areas. can you talk to me 'ust before i let — these areas. can you talk to me 'ust before i let you fl these areas. can you talk to me 'ust before i let you go i these areas. can you talk to me 'ust before i let you go about i these areas. can you talk to me 'ust before i let you go about the h these areas. can you talk to me justj before i let you go about the speeds of these birds? 0bviously bear hunters, they are pre—birds, but the male bird that you have been following, they are less, lower flight speeds that your mapping. why is that significant? locate flight speeds that your mapping. why is that significant?— is that significant? we see this different responses _ is that significant? we see this different responses in - is that significant? we see this different responses in males . is that significant? we see this l different responses in males and females in terms of slight speed, we think that is probably due to the

fact that they make very different migration is the females. the females in this population typically migrate around 2000 kilometres between the breeding grounds in belarus and the coastal wetlands in greece, where as the males make much longer migrations, around 5000 to 6000 kilometres in length to parts of east africa. the fact they have flown so much further before they were exposed to these conflict events in ukraine might have meant they were less able to respond to them. ~ ., ., ., them. we will have to leave it there. thank _ them. we will have to leave it there. thank you _ them. we will have to leave it there. thank you very - them. we will have to leave it there. thank you very much i them. we will have to leave it. there. thank you very much for coming on the programme. it is a really fascinating study. 0n the bbc website you will find plenty more on that. thank you. when it is quickly give you a line from the foreign and commonwealth and development office here in london, who are supporting the family of this man who has sadly died on the singapore flight that left heathrow today. they say we are supporting the family of a british man who died on a flight to bangkok.

we are in contact with the local authorities and ask you respect the privacy of the family at this time to stop as we have been reporting, the wife of that man is also in hospital. quite a number of them in quite a serious condition. we will continue to bring you news about as and when we get it. on the other side of the break, the panel will be with us. do stay with us. 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 40 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.

hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. sde teiman field hospital was set up after the hamas attacks. range of allegations, that pain relief on occasion was denied, patients in the hospital unit were routinely shackled to their beds. 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.

translation: they took me to a public hospital _ where the doctor gave me two options — my leg or my life. joining me tonight on my panel are stephanie murphy, former democratic us congresswoman and jack blanchard — the uk editor of politico. first, the latest headlines. 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. 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.
