this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. a new martyr for myanmar — crowds pay their respects to mya thwe thwe kine, who was shot during protests against the military coup. a three—month extension for un inspectors to access iran's nuclear sites but there'll be no snap inspections. nigeria's authorities launch an investigation into why a military aircraft crashed at abuja international airport, killing all seven people on board. and, remembering the victims of the christchurch earthquake — new zealand prime minister jacinda ardern leads a memorial service in the city devastated a decade ago.

hello and welcome to audiences in the uk and around the world. we're covering all the latest coronavirus developments here in britain and globally. first in myanmar, thousands of people have lined the streets for the funeral of a young woman shot during protests against the recent military coup. mya tway tway khine died on friday. here's our south east asia correspondent, jonathan head. this was the funeral of an ordinary young woman transformed into a show of political defiance for these extraordinary times. mya thwe thwe khaing was one of countless thousands in myanamar who came out to challenge the military�*s seizure of power. and she was the first to lose her life in its heavy—handed response to the protests. scenes of grief which must

inflame public fury against the militaryjunta, but remind them, too, of the cost of resisting it. they had two more martyrs to mourn today. one, a teenage boy. both were struck by live rounds fired by the police in the city of mandalay. "we started this because we don't want a military dictatorship," said this woman, "and we'll fight to the end to make sure these lives weren't wasted." the plan now is to escalate this two—week—old protest movement into a nationwide general strike, which will cripple the government, but must inevitably hurt ordinary people, too, in an economy already shattered by the covid pandemic. they dream of international intervention to help their cause. this rally is outside the us embassy. still a symbol of hope, but a fading one in a world

which won't or can't act against generals who won't listen. jonathan head, bbc news, bangkok. the bbc burmese reporter nyein chan aye is in yangon and gave us this update from there. the funeral service was held in the capital, naypyidaw, for mya thwe thwe khaing, who was the first confirmed death from the anti—coup movement after she was shot in the head last week and died on friday. the funeral was, so far, peaceful, despite thousands of mourners and supporters turn up and show their solidarity. in the meanwhile, the military regime arrest more people, including a famous actor, called lu min, who was among the celebrities calling for all civil servants to take part in nationwide civil disobedience movement. he was charged with incitement against the regime. now, nearly 600 people have

been already arrested or charged, or sentenced under this regime, according to local rights groups. however, there is no sign of dying down in anti—coup movement, and protester called for nationwide strikes on monday. some of the largest retail outlets already declared a temporary shutdown tomorrow, and huge protests are expected again. this is nyein chan aye, bbc news, yangon. news from iran now: the head of the un nuclear watchdog says iran has agreed to extend for three months un inspectors�* access to its nuclear sites. the iranian parliament threatened to stop snap visits unless the us lifted sanctions on tehran. but rafael grossi of the international atomic energy

agency said, although the visits are being suspended from tuesday, a new bilateral agreement would come into effect so that verification activities can continue. we reached a temporary bilateral technical understanding, whereby the agency is going to continue its necessary verification and monitoring activities for a period of up to three months. the bbc�*s bethany bell is in vienna and gave us some context on the situation between the international community and iran's nuclear capabilities. well, there is a standoff at the moment in terms of how people are trying to get the iran nuclear deal back on its feet again. donald trump pulled out of that. presidentjoe biden has said he's willing to start negotiations as to possibly rejoining in it. iran says, though, that sanctions must be lifted first. and america says iran has to start complying with the deal first.

so it's a complicated question as to who blinks first. what was very key for the un nuclear inspectors is that they kept their presence there, and there will continue to be a very basic presence. but what had been agreed under the iran nuclear deal was an enhanced, very, very rigorous set of inspections by which the inspectors could go places at very, very short notice to look and see what was going on. some of that will continue now over the three weeks, but what we heard from mr grossi that this is something, a temporary solution that will work for now while the other negotiations continue. tehran is very, very keen to see the sanctions lifted. trita parsi is the executive vice president of the quincy institute for responsible statecraft and the author of �*losing an enemy: obama, iran, and the triumph of diplomacy�*. hejoins us from northern virginia. doctor, northern virginia. thank you so much for joining us. doctor, thank you so much for joining us. this i.e. a a

visit, just a holding pattern or anything significant, because i this is important because i this is important because if this hadn�*t been done by tuesday, the iranians would have further reduced some of their obligations and that would have created more of a problem in making sure that the united states came back into compliance with the agreement. it is important to keep in mind that the united states is outside of the deal and the mandate to lift sanctions is in orderfor the us to be in compliance with the deal. the us cannot have those sanctions on iran if it is part of the deal because the deal lifted those sanctions. what the iea has done is give more time for diplomacy to be resolved and this is absolutely resolvable, just has to happen behind the scenes. that is rather than through public state that unfortunately tends to just push the two sides further away from each other. so both sides owe a lot to the iea right now to make sure more time is given for diplomacy. to make sure more time is given for diplomacy-— for diplomacy. how is it resolvable? _ for diplomacy. how is it resolvable? well - for diplomacy. how is it resolvable? well what l for diplomacy. how is it - resolvable? well what could be done and should _ resolvable? well what could be done and should be _ resolvable? well what could be

according to article 36 of the agreement which says that fi side of the parties no longer performing, which is clearly the case with the us leaving the case with the us leaving the deal, and the other side can reduce its obligations. it is fundamentally different from what united states debt under the trump administration. a move that the biden administration has very critical of and that everyone is hoping and i think the biden demonstration is intent on doing, is quickly finding a way to reverse it was like doctor trita parsi, thank you so much. thank you for having me. let�*s get some of the day�*s other news. the israeli government is advising citizens to avoid all beaches on the mediterranean after much of the shoreline was covered with tar. the pollution has been described as one of the worst environmental disasters to hit israel in years. the cause is still unclear. thousands of volunteers have joined soldiers in efforts to clear the tar. in a change of policy, truck drivers in the uk who return to france will know longer need to have a coronavirus test if they have spent less than 48 hours in britain. france had demanded that

drivers must carry a negative test result to reduce the spread of a more infectious coronavirus variant detected in kent. in france, the mayor of nice is calling for a weekend lockdown to try and stop the flow of visitors to the mediterranean city amid a sharp spike in coronavirus infections. new weekly cases in nice are triple the national average in france. the mayor said tourists were still flocking to the area and this needed to be stopped but without damaging the local economy. an investigaton is underway after seven people died when a nigerian military aircraft crashed near the capital abuja. the plane was on a mission to support a rescue operation as paul hawkins reports. the remains of the nigerian raf light aircraft. all seven people on board were killed. officials say the reply to ported engine failure and was bringing the plane back to abuja international airport but christ just sort of the runway. i saw him going down, slowly to

been held in christchurch to mark the ten years anniversary of a powerful earthquake that left the city in ruins. prime ministerjacinda ardern was amongst those leading the service at the canterbury earthquake national memorial. the devastating seismic event killed 185 people with thousands others were injured. the natural disaster also left the city in ruins, with residents spending the last decade attempting to rebuild. the toll could not have been more significant and daily reminders made it harder. a fractured landscape, after—shocks, struggling friends and neighbours and children with deep and unseen scars. ten years on there will be people still living in their daily lives with the long shadow of that day. today, i want to take the opportunity to say to all those who may still

feel overwhelmed, who may still feel overwhelmed, who may still feel uncertain, sad, tired, anxious, you survived an event that by right should not occur in anyone�*s lifetime. i hope you find the space to be kind to yourself, as no doubt you have been to others who you knew were carrying the same burden. in addition to the loss of life, the distaster also left much of the city in ruins. while much has been rebuilt, one notable exception is christchurch�*s anglican cathedral. the seat of the diosece of christchurch collasped during the earthquake and 10 years later has yet to be restored to its former glory dr peter carrell is the current bishop of christchurch and has been taking part in today�*s rememberance events. bishop, thank you so much for joining us. a lot of us remember those images of the cathedral that became the symbol of the disaster. what is the state of the building now?

to open after that. the uk has introduced a new heart transplant technique for children, that restarts a donor heart outside the body. it can even repair any damage caused to the organ during death, and is giving new hope to young heart—transplant patients globally. our health correspondent anna collinson has this report. just a year ago, one of these sisters had a failing heart and was put on an urgent transplant list. freya heddington was warned she may have to wait up to two years. but thanks to a new programme it was just eight weeks. nice wave! iam i am ecstatic that i got such an amazing gift i am ecstatic that i got such an amazin- nift of i am ecstatic that i got such an amazing gift i am ecstatic that i got such an amazin- nift of a i am ecstatic that i got such an amazing gift i am ecstatic that i got such an amazin- nift of a heart. i am ecstatic that i got such an amazing gift i am ecstatic that i got such an amazin- nift of a heart. it an amazing gift of a heart. it is also hard to know that someone also died and i cannot help but think about it. a;

help but think about it. a donor family must be consented before surgery. until a year ago, almost all paediatric heart transplant came from patients who suffered brain death. the heart is stopped and retrieved. this new programme uses heart that would be allowed to cease beating on their own. as soon as this happens, the heart begins to deteriorate. by using this machine, they can effectively restarted and repair the damage. restarted and repair the damage-— restarted and repair the damaue. . ., , damage. once we have the blood circulating. _ damage. once we have the blood circulating. we — damage. once we have the blood circulating, we would _ damage. once we have the blood circulating, we would have - damage. once we have the blood circulating, we would have the i circulating, we would have the heart sitting with the connector at the top. these tubes give _ connector at the top. these tubes give surgeons - connector at the top. these tubes give surgeons more l connector at the top. these . tubes give surgeons more time to carry out checks and transported to other locations.

further coverage on the events in myanmar. we are on twitter. let me know what you are up to. stay with us. hello there. it�*s felt very mild over the weekend, almost springlike. and in fact, the temperatures are going to rise even more as we move through this new week, particularly tuesday and wednesday. this is the temperature anomaly map. you can see the temperatures well above the seasonal average, especially for parts of england and wales. but with this very mild air will come a lot of moisture, and it�*s going to pour down, in fact, across many western areas for tuesday and wednesday. some parts of western scotland, perhaps north—west england could see over 100 mm of rain, with a risk of localised flooding. eastern areas of the uk will actually be drier than average. for the start of the new week, though, it looks mainly dry with plenty of sunshine, but we still have some rain around thanks to this weather front

which will be affecting northern and western parts of england, eastern wales, to start the day. it will transfer towards the eastern side of england and tend to fizzle out, leaving a legacy of cloud here, with other areas brightening up. so, quite a fine afternoon for many. plenty of sunshine for scotland and northern ireland and mild, 10 to maybe iii degrees. that front clears away. underneath clear skies, it will turn a little bit cooler, in fact, but then this next area of low pressure will move in to bring wet and windy weather to northern and western areas. and those temperatures will range from around 2 or 3 across eastern areas, 7 or 8 in the west. now, this area of low pressure is here to stick around, i think, for much of tuesday and wednesday, and expecting to bring some very wet weather with this weather front, which will become almost stationary across the north and west of the country. lots of isobars on the charts, so it will be windy as well. dragging this air up, though, from the subtropical regions, which is why it�*s going to be extremely mild. so we start off dry. central, southern and eastern areas, it�*ll stay dry through the day, but lots of rain across scotland, northern ireland, perhaps north—west england, the north and west of wales, and gales up

the irish sea coasts and in towards western scotland. despite the wet and windy weather here, it�*s going to be mild. double figure values for all, but we could see 1a or 15 across the south and the east given some brightness. it�*ll stay very wet and windy across the north and the west on wednesday, extremely mild across the south east, 17 or 18 celsius. and then there�*s signs of it calming down a little bit as we end the week and head—on into the weekend, as high pressure builds in. so, for this upcoming week, it�*s going to be very mild fora time, but wet and windy across northern and western areas, with the risk of localised flooding, and then signs of it drying up for many of us by the end of the week.

this is bbc news, the headlines: huge crowds have gathered in myanmar�*s capital to attend the funeral of a young woman killed in protests against the military coup — mya thwe thwe khaing was shot in the head just before her 20th birthday. two other protesters were killed in mandalay on saturday when the security forces opened fire. iran has agreed to extend un inspectors�* access to its nuclear sites for three months but ends their right to make snap inspections. washington and tehran now have more time to seek a compromise — the us has not lifted sanctions imposed since the 2015 nuclear deal was abandoned. and, remembering the victims of the christchurch earthquake — new zealand prime minister jacinda ardern leads a memorial service in the city devastated ten years ago. 185 people lost their lives and thousands more were injured, the community spending the past decade rebuilding.
