star matthew the death of friends star matthew perry have charged five people, including two doctors and a suspected dealer dubbed the ketamine queen. welcome to bbc news now, three hours of fast—moving news, interviews and reaction. thailand's king is shortly expected to endorse the country's latest prime minister, paetongtarn shinawatra, who at 37, becomes thailand's youngest leader. her election by parliament marks the return of the shinawatra dynasty to power. she's the daughter of the billionaire tycoon and former leader thaksin shinawatra and says she is "very honoured and happy" to take up the post. her predecessor, srettha thavisin, was dismissed earlier this week by the constitutional court. thailand's king is shortly expected to endorse the country's latest prime minister, paetongtarn shinawatra, shortly after the announcement,

ms shinawatra said she felt it was time for her to serve. i talked to my family and a lot of people from my party and i decided that it is about time to do something for the country and for the party as well. and ijust hope that i can do my best to, you know, make the country go forward, that is what i tried to do. right now, of course, today i feel very honoured and i feel very happy. paetongtarn shinawatra's election sees the return of the powerful and divisive shinawatra dynasty. herfather, thaksin shinawatra, was prime minister from 2001 to 2006. he was deposed in a military coup and lived in self—imposed exile for 15 years, during which he was convicted of corruption. he returned to thailand last year. mr thaksin�*s brother—in—law, somchai wongsawat, led the nation for less than three months in 2008.

an anti—corruption body found him guilty of neglecting his duties while working in the justice department eight years earlier. mr thaksin�*s sister, yingluck shinawatra, was in powerfor three years. she was removed from office by the constitutional court. following the 2014 coup, she was arrested, but she left the country and continues to live in exile. which brings us to friday, and mr thaksin�*s daughter, paetongtarn shinawatra, elected as prime minister by parliament, despite never having held public office. 0ur south east asia correspondent, jonathan head, told me support for paetongtarn shinawatra would depend on which side of the political divide people sit.

he's now working with the people who impose that in 2006, remember that period well, she had to be accompanied by bodyguards and there was a military coup in september 2006 that deposed thaksin shinawatra, there was a lot of polarisation. so we have, along way, full—circle, notjust him and his sister but now his daughter. after all these years, 18 years, she is the prime minister. but you can say that now thaksin shinawatra is in the shadows, the daughter is prime minister, but it is very different because she now represents a coalition that works with the establishment that overthrew not only her father but her aunt and uncle in law. but we also have someone else, it was mentioned earlier that she is the youngest

prime minister thailand, yes, but there's also the youngest opposition of thailand. the big conflict was about his populism, he was becoming very popular with the people. that became a contest, a threat to the royalist establishment because people were turning to him. but now there is a structural reform agenda represented by the move or a party which was dissolved, led by someone the same age, 37, we will see the youngest opposition leader represent the future of thailand and the prime minister representing thailand's past. minister representing thailand's ast. ., minister representing thailand's ast, ., ., , , , minister representing thailand's ast. ., ., ,, , past. how does she set about tacklin: past. how does she set about tackling thailand's _ past. how does she set about tackling thailand's economicl tackling thailand's economic problems while at the same time avoiding the gaze of the military andindeed avoiding the gaze of the military and indeed the intervention of the constitutional court? if is

of happiness lately. to the middle east now, and gaza ceasefire talks are due to continue in qatar, after what a us official described as a �*constructive' first day of discussions. israeli representatives are attending but hamas has formally stayed away, accusing israel of changing its terms since previous rounds of talks. qatari mediators are expected to relay messages to hamas, who have a presence in doha. an official from hamas also reiterated that "any agreement must achieve a comprehensive ceasefire, a complete israeli withdrawal from gaza and the return of the displaced." on thursday, the hamas—run health ministry said the number of palestinians killed in gaza had passed 40,000. and families of the israeli hostages still held in gaza since hamas' october the 7th attacks have again demanded a deal to secure their release, with several thousand marching in tel aviv. israeli political leaders —

the molotov cocktails thrown at cars, of the widespread rampage and chasing of people from their homes, is apparent. and i condemn it in the strongest of terms. prime minister netanyahu has said that there will be a swift investigation. i hope that that investigation can ensure that that investigation can ensure that those who have engaged in this settlement violence over the course of the last 24—hour are brought to justice. and i raised a few weeks ago, when i was on the west bank, that both the violence and the expansion that we have seen over recent times is unacceptable, it

doctors gathered from across government hospitals in mumbai and they are angry, here to protest against the lack of safety at work places in most government hospitals. remember these are the junior doctors that handle the real patient loads and squalid hospitals, they were all ours, are underpaid, and mostly are at the forefront of any violence inflicted on health care staff. 0ne violence inflicted on health care staff. one of the biggest demands that they have is of a central law that they have is of a central law thatis that they have is of a central law that is to curb violence against health care staff. a lot of the anger is directed towards the political establishment and the government who the protesters say have not done enough to bring safety and workplace for women. there are laws but they are not effective on ground. but now these proteas are going nationwide and they have also got support from the private doctors association and across the country

the spread of a deadly new strain of mpox from parts of africa — china has announced heightened screening for goods and people coming from areas where the new highly contagious strain has been detected. and the first case of the strain has been confirmed in sweden. the world health organization — which declared a global public health emergency on wednesday — says more cases of the dangerous variant are likely to be detected in europe — and the continent's health agency has urged countries to increase their preparedness. simonjones reports. in the democratic republic of congo, the country hardest hit, public health campaigns are under way to warn people of the dangers of m pox. originally known as monkeypox, it is transmitted through close contact such as sex, skin to skin contact or breathing too close to another person. it causes flu—like symptoms and skin lesions. they often clear up within a few weeks but mpox can be fatal for people

with weakened immune systems. translation: three of my children and i were infected. _ one was treated here and the other two were taken to a hospital. after two weeks they were discharged. a week later my wife was infected. now a case of a more dangerous case of mpox has been recorded in sweden. the authorities say the person became infected during a stay in an area of africa where there is currently a major outbreak. it is very probable that we will see more cases in europe in the near time. so it's important for all countries to be aware that this can happen. there have been a50 deaths in the democratic republic of the congo following an outbreak of the new strain. it's also been detected in neighbouring countries including the central african republic, uganda, kenya, rwanda and burundi. doctor meera chan from the uk

health security agency has said the risk to the uk population is currently considered low, however planning is under way to prepare for any cases that we might see in the uk — this includes ensuring clinicians are well able to recognise cases promptly. —— aware and able. outbreaks can be controlled by preventing infections with vaccines. the uk government says it has stockpiles as part of its preparedness plans. the world health organization says a coordinated an international response is now vital. simon jones, bbc news. the european centre for disease prevention and control has updated its recommendations in response to the outbreak of this new strain, saying travellers should continue getting vaccinated against mpox if they are visiting affected areas in africa. also the world health organization says it fears the lessons from the covid pandemic will be applied to the spread of the new mpox strain, it has buried

wealthy countries will hold their vaccine stockpiles. —— it is worried. an inquest into death of a 13—year—old girl with a dairy allergy who died after hot chocolate has concluded there was a failure to follow the processes in place to discuss allergies. the teenager died within hours of taking the drink in february last year. the coroner also said there had been a failure of communication between the coffee shop staff and the mother of hannah jacobs and that on the day of her death, neither hannah nor her mother were carrying the epipen that had been prescribed. the family lawyer spoke outside the court. we been prescribed. the family lawyer spoke outside the court.— spoke outside the court. we are devastated _ spoke outside the court. we are devastated to _ spoke outside the court. we are devastated to be _ spoke outside the court. we are devastated to be standing - spoke outside the court. we are devastated to be standing here | spoke outside the court. we are - devastated to be standing here today representing yet another family whose lives have been apart by losing the death of a loved one due to food —induced anaphylaxis. no mother should have to bury their child and no further life should be lost due to food —induced

anaphylaxis. there are still many lessons to be learned. while we welcome the information provided by costa that their training has changed since hannah's dead, we still believe more can be done. robust training for those in the food service industry is essential and it must be rigorously tested to ensure it is fully understood and consistently implemented. this must be industrywide. abby and herfamily want meaningful changes to prevent any further deaths, including the following. first, food businesses need to come together to provide an extra safeguard by implementing a process for the order details to be printed and stock the coffee cups. second, we welcome the coroner's decision to write to the department for education to consider the practicalities of children with allergies carrying adrenaline when travelling to and from school. third, the department of health to provide further education on

managing allergic reactions which require adrenaline. and last, but not least, abbie supports a call by the allergy research foundation for a dedicated person in government to ensure people with allergies receive proper support and joined up health care to prevent avoidable deaths and ill—health. ilil" care to prevent avoidable deaths and ill-health. _, , ,., , care to prevent avoidable deaths and ill-health. , ., ill-health. our correspondent is at east london _ ill-health. our correspondent is at east london coroner's _ ill-health. our correspondent is at east london coroner's court. - ill-health. our correspondent is atj east london coroner's court. what more can you tell us? the east london coroner's court. what more can you tell us?— more can you tell us? the coroner did say that _ more can you tell us? the coroner did say that the _ more can you tell us? the coroner did say that the root _ more can you tell us? the coroner did say that the root cause - more can you tell us? the coroner did say that the root cause of- did say that the root cause of hannah's death was the failure for the process to be in place when it comes to discussing allergies, because hannah's mother had told the barrister that her daughter had a severe dairy allergy but the barrister didn't understand and miss communicated that and still serve them to hot chocolates with cows milk. as a result of the coroner's inquiry the coroner said she was

going to write to the department for education so that there was better information given to schools to understand that they may need to change their policy to allow children to carry epipens to and from school because hannah's school's policy was that they didn't want children to bring epipens into the school. the coroner said she was going to write to the department of health so that better training could be put into place for medical professionals to better understand the severity of anaphylactic shock. and to understand better that they need to be quicker when it comes to treatment. hannah's mother, as you said, had lost her child and she wants to try and prevent this from happening in the future any other family. happening in the future any other famil . ., ~' ,, more coming up, now. stay with us here on bbc news.

hello there. we're moving into a quieter couple of days of weather, which is good news because the weekend is just around the corner. there'll be one or two showers coming into northwestern areas, but on the whole it's going to be a dry weekend for us with some sunshine at times, and we're seeing more sunshine across the southern half of the uk today. and it's not as windy here as it was yesterday. we saw this weather front take cloud and rain southwards overnight. if we look to the north, more weather fronts arriving. the winds are picking up and this is where we're seeing more cloud and a few showers as well. and that's going to limit the temperatures in the north west of scotland. highest temperatures again reaching the mid 20s across southeastern parts of england. it's windy in the north west of scotland into the evening as well, but the winds do ease down a bit overnight and the showers that we've got here do become fewer, and for many places it's going to turn dry with

some clearer skies. quite a bit cooler than it was last night across southern parts of the uk. could be as low as 7 or 8 degrees here. it won't be as cold as last night, though, in the north east of scotland. starting tomorrow with some sunshine for many of us, we will tend to find the cloud building up a little bit like today, brings the risk of1 or 2 showers into northern and western scotland, northern ireland, perhaps into the northwest of england. the sunnier skies lingering in east anglia in the southeast. and that's where we'll get the highest temperatures again. but it could be quite warm in the sunshine in the northeast of scotland. now through the weekend, we've got high pressure over towards the azores, low pressure up towards iceland. and it leaves us with this run of westerly winds. the winds could be a little bit stronger during the second half of the weekend, particularly for southern areas. but again, we'll find after a sunny start, clouds will build up a little bit. brings the risk of1 or 2 showers, mainly in the north west of scotland, and there'll be some spells of sunshine around as well. and those temperatures not changing too much, perhaps 18—19 at best for scotland and northern ireland.

highs of the mid 20s again in the southeast of england. as we head into monday, the weather starts to change a bit, particularly in western areas. pressure is going to be falling here. there are some weather fronts to come in from the atlantic, but we're going to start dry and sunny in most areas on monday morning. it's out to the west where the winds pick up, especially in the southwest and through the irish sea. the cloud moves in and we get some rain and it gets wet in northern ireland and western scotland during the afternoon. but ahead of that, the midlands and eastern england should have a dry and quite warm day with some sunshine.
