a lot of silver linings. so it happened. but there are certainly a lot of silver linings. 50 better, nine. a lot of silver linings. so better, nine. ., ~' ,, a lot of silver linings. so better, nine. . ~ , . so let's take a look at some of the front pages. the telegraph starts with the story about craig mackinlay, i have lost my hands and feet to sepsis, says mp. the imf because of a three year rate cuts at the end of the year as inflation falls. and the guardian, alarm over big increase of those under a0 with diabetes. and the story about the singapore airlines flight, british passenger dies in severe plain turbulence. a brit is charged with spying for china, found deadin charged with spying for china, found dead in a maidenhead park. the mirror, turbulence tragedy, terror in the sky. british pensioner on dream holiday dies and doesn't hurt as plane is hit. the daily mail, that story, nightmare at 37,000 feet and a picture of mr kitchen, the grandfather who died. the times, make fewer arrests to help jails,
11:12 pm
police told. at the top, number 10 neglecting the prime minister's more popular colours laments the minister. —— more popular colleagues. that's all from us tonight. victoria breaking news from around the world 2a hours a day. this is bbc news. at the same time, as you see this morning, hundreds of people are willing to join with us and willing to fight against the burma army. so those are our friends. it's a slow and ferocious conflict.
11:13 pm
in shan state at this base, a counter—offensive against the kndf. mortars start landing around us. none of these fighters have body armour or helmets. and neither do we, so we head for the only available cover. there's another one. so that's, i think, three shells have come in in the last five minutes. and you really get the sense of what this conflict is about, because that is a professional, professional military over there, firing artillery, firing mortars. these men are irregulars. they're a strong alliance, a ragtag of rebel groups. and they've had a lot of success, but they've taken on a professional army. and that army is edging closer. beyond these banana trees, the military are crawling through the undergrowth. so you see now, it's not safe. 50 better we go back
11:14 pm
and later we can decide again and we can come back any time. all right, let's go. let's go fast. the kndf are used to sneak attacks, but this is unexpected. let's go, let's go. let's get out of range. go, go, go. so it looks like as we arrived here, a military squad was coming in and they've been training their guns on this area. the commander said it's not safe, we have to get out of here and head back to the second line, which hopefully is out of range of their weapons. go, go, go, go. directly ahead of us, a fresh mortar strike. they're narrowing in on the vehicles. bleep. that's another one just slightly behind us. just keep driving, philip, fast as you can.
11:15 pm
it seems like they're trained on the road. just checking to see if their other vehicles made it. behind us, more near—misses. 0h, bleep. bleep. you know, very quickly, they have a drone. so it's dangerous. they have drones following us. you don't have enough ammo to mount the assaults that you need to take these final bases. the military rulers in this country have everything. how are you going to defeat that advantage? they have the artillery, they have the aeroplanes, they have the mortars. we do have enough heart. we do have enough morale. we do have enough humanity. that's the way how we're
11:16 pm
going to defeat them. even though we don't have physical material and not enough, but this is enough. and now they have record volunteers. # i am a soldier and i'm pushing on. their ranks have never been stronger, their victories never greater. # i am a warrior and this is my song. the ballot box failed them. their peaceful protests were met with force. so they're taking the fight to the military. myanmar�*s new revolutionaries are on the march. # if that don't bring you fear, i swear you'll hear these marching feet... quentin somerville, bbc news, karenni state, myanmar. and you can see the second of our special reports from inside myanmar on thursday.
11:17 pm
around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.
11:18 pm
a former royal marines commando, charged with assisting the hong kong intelligence service, has been found dead in unexplained circumstances, in a park west of london. matthew trickett, who was 37, and a home office immigration officer, appeared in court last week, accused under the national security act. daniel sandford has more. matthew trickett was charged last monday, along with two other men — the allegation were that was that they were assisting the hong kong intelligence service, and they were doing that by agreeing to carry out surveillance, information—gathering, deception, and even breaking into a residential house on the 1st of may. he's a royal marine, as you said, and also recently been working for the home office as an immigration enforcement official. and on monday, when he appeared at westminster magistrates' court —
11:19 pm
monday last week — his lawyers argued for bail, and the prosecution opposed that on the grounds that he needed to be kept in custody for his own welfare, because he'd attempted to take his own life after he had been arrested. but, despite that, he was granted bail, he was due to appear at the old bailey for the first time this friday. but on sunday, a member of the public found him at around 5.15am in grenfell park, in maidenhead, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. thames valley police are describing it as an unexplained death and awaiting for a postmortem examination. matthew trickett�*s family said they were "mourning the loss of a much—loved son, brother and family member," and the police have reported themselves to the independent office for police conduct — that's a mandatory referral — because they're in regular contact with matthew trickett as part of his bail conditions. the british conservative mp craig mackinlay will return to parliament tomorrow, after losing his hands and feet to sepsis. he was given just a 5% chance of survival when he went to hospital in september,
11:20 pm
and put into an induced coma as his organs began to fail. now back home and using prosthetic limbs, he's been speaking to helen catt — and a warning, her report features images of mr mackinlay while gravely ill in hospital. what do you think, darling, have they been clever? craig mackinlay and his family have had to adjust to a lot of change in the last eight months. over the course of ia hours in september, he went from feeling slightly unwell to finding himself in hospital. within about half an hour, i went this very strange blue from top to bottom, ears, everything, blue. it's when you're having a very severe sort of septic event. they knew what it was and they pretty much immediately put me into an induced coma. and the next 16 days, i was in dreamland, really. my wife was told within a few hours, he is one of the illest people we have seen in this hospital, and prepare for the worst. but surviving was just the start.
11:21 pm
i can remember coming to, and all this discussion was happening about these arms and legs, because by then, they had turned black. they were like a plastic. you could almost knock them, and just looked dead. i probably shouldn't have survived this far. i've never seen anything like it in my life, but they say frostbite is a bit like that. but you get frostbite in a few fingers. i had frostbite that was effectively up to elbow and just below my knee. how do you cope with that psychologically? i was surprisingly stoic about it, actually. i don't know why i was. again, probably the cocktail of various drugs i was on. i wasn't upset about it, i was sort of... acceptance that these things are dead and they're going to come off at some time. craig's hands and feet were amputated on the 1st of december. this year brought more
11:22 pm
surgery and learning to use his prosthetic legs. i was never worried about the legs, always the hands. because you don't realise how much you do with your hands. that dexterity is just amazing. to use your phone, hold the hand of your child, touch your wife, do the gardening. it's all these things — cooking, i love cooking. i'm hoping with these amazing things, i'll get somewhere towards it. but it's never going to be the same, obviously. craig only got these hands this week and he had to go outside the nhs to get them this quickly. he plans to campaign for faster access to similar prosthetics for others and to raise awareness of sepsis. if i can get at least one person to recognise that and not end up like this, i would say that is a job that's well done. but also, having been now a multiple limb loss person, of which there are not many, no more than half a dozen a year around the country,
11:23 pm
the nhs hasn't really been properly geared up to look after people with multiple limb loss, particularly on the prosthetic front. can you open them? i can, and close them. i want to be the bionic mp. so i've got a unique position and i want my voice to be heard. israel has reversed its decision to confiscate broadcasting equipment belonging to newsagency associated press. israeli officials used powers under a new foreign media law to seize the belongings — a move the un described as "shocking". the camera provided a live feed looking from southern israel into gaza. israel had said ap had been providing images to aljazeera, which was this month banned by israel. ap condemned the move as an abuse of israel's foreign media law. funeral rites for iran's president have begun in the north—west of the country. ebrahim raisi was killed in a helicopter crash
11:24 pm
near the azerbaijan 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 on social media have been celebrating his demise. iran's government has declared wednesday a public holiday and a large funeral is expected to be held in the capital of tehran, where the supreme leader ayatollah khamenei will lead prayers. donald trump's defence team has rested its case in the former us president's hush money trial in new york. mr trump was not called by his lawyers to testify. next week, both sides will present their closing arguments. mr trump is accused of falsifying business records to hide payments made to the adult film star stormy daniels, in the run—up to the 2016 election. mr trump denies the charges. finally, in football — and mauricio pochettino has left english premier league club chelsea by mutual consent,
11:25 pm
after just one year. after a disappointing start to the season, pochettino led chelsea to sixth in the table, ensuring european football next season. he was chelsea's sixth permanent manager in five years. and so the managerial merry—go—round continues. that's all for now — stay with bbc news. 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.
11:26 pm
this is the morning, a widespread area of rain. we'll zoom in and see what's happening around 3pm or apm 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. 50, 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,
11:27 pm
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.
