in other news, the us secretary of state warns of "real concerns" about russian activities at the border with ukraine. we don't know what president prudent�*s intentions are but we do know what is happened in the past. we do know the playbook. -- putin. record numbers of migrants crossing the english channel prompt a review by the british government. and hundreds of tesla drivers are locked out of their vehicles, after the carmaker�*s app stopped working. hello and welcome if you re watching in the uk or around the world. we begin in the netherlands — and a second night of violent

unrest over the dutch government's coronavirus measures. these are the latest pictures from the hague — where there is a heavy police presence and reports of rioters throwing stones and fireworks at officers. the police say four people are being treated in a rotterdam hospital after friday night's protest there. demonstrations have also been taking place in a number of other european countries against coronavirus restrictions and compulsory vaccinations. this report is from our europe correspondent anna holligan. rotterdam. the netherlands�* second city. scarred by a night of rage. riot police came from across the country to try to quell the uprising. they fired warning shots than live rounds in response to scenes condemned by rotterdam's mayor as an orgy of violence.

translation: on several. occasions police officers had to draw their weapons to defend themselves. some aimed shots were fired. at least seven were injured. restrictions in the netherlands began last saturday and will be in place for another two weeks at least. tonight, they are being extra vigilant here, checking ids and still looking for suspects. the streets here are peaceful right now but pockets of discontent exist around the country and the atmosphere remains volatile. the netherlands is among several european countries battling record infection rates and many governments are considering or implementing tougher measures targeting the unvaccinated. in austria today supporters of the far right freedom party marched against mandatory coronavirus vaccines. a 20—day lockdown will start next week, working from home will be ordered and only essential shops will stay open.

germany fears a national health care emergency. new measures are expected for those who haven't had theirjabs. a full lockdown is still on the cards. the uk isn't yet seeing such a dramatic surge in cases and these are some of the reasons why. many countries in europe were faced with delta a little bit later, so they are dealing with it now and some of them opened up slightly later than we did, so that's a factor. the second point is those differences in vaccines. you have high levels of non—vaccine uptake in some populations in some european countries. high infection rates have helped to build up immunity in the uk. now the push to encourage people to get their boosterjabs continues. the incentive for many, the avoidance of harsher rules like those enforced elsewhere. anna holligan, bbc news.

journalist stephanie van der berg is in the hague and told us more about what's driving these protests there. well, these protests there. the main point of the demonstration well, the main point of the demonstration is that they have recurrent lockdown with netherlands were public spaces are closed at eight p.m., but the government announced that if that doesn't work, bringing down the record numbers of infections we are seeing the netherlands, that they might have to look at a system were unvaccinated people no longer will be able to have a green check in the corona app and cannot act with that and so there will be restricted in their movements essentially going out and thatis movements essentially going out and that is what a lot of people are protesting about and unvaccinated, we have a caretaker government and

at a coalition party. one of the coalition parties are an orthodox christian party whose voters are also, a part of them that are not vaccinated because they believe it to be in gods hands and they already said they do not want separate rules for unvaccinated people and instead, theyjust for unvaccinated people and instead, they just want a system or everyone has to be tested to go somewhere to offer the unvaccinated people and so this is also about something that the government might not even decide to do butjust the idea that this could be in the future, something. i was stephanie speaking to us earlier. — that thousands of croatians have also

taken to the streets of the capital, zagreb, in the biggest gathering in the country against covid restrictions and mandatory vaccine certificates, since the beginning of the pandemic. from monday, only people with covid passports can enter government and public buildings in croatia. the world health organisation has called for an urgent tightening of measures across europe, to halt spiralling covid transmission rates. it's warning that half a million more deaths could be recorded by march, unless urgent action is taken. the un body says, at the moment, one person is dying from the virus in europe every is—to—20 minutes. dr hans kluge 7 the who' s regional director for europe — told us that while cases are high, the authorities know what action to take: we are definitely worried but the good news is that we know what to do. let's look at the positive side. portugal and spain, they are implementing with they call a vaccination plus path. their vaccinating and now boosted and also

implementing the basic measures like masks, average 48% of the european population is wearing a mask indoor. any percentage of that will have an immediate effect, much more attention to be paid for ventilation and finally, to new treatment protocols which have to be standardised. the us secretary of state antony blinken says his european allies share "real concerns" about unusual russian military activity on its border with ukraine. mr blinken�*s remarks came as american reinforcements for ukraine's navy sailed into the gateway to the black sea. kyiv has raised fears that russia may be preparing an attack. russia's president vladimir putin has accused the west of escalating tensions. our north america correspondent peter bowes explains more.

he is speaking on this again while visiting senegal, he spoke about it two weeks ago at the state department after meeting with ukrainian foreign minister when he also expressed concern, which we heard repeated by other leaders around europe that the russian authorities are building up their military hardware and troops around the border with ukraine, especially with 200 miles of the border and mister lincoln describing this as unusual and of great concern. and thatis unusual and of great concern. and that is the very reality of what is happening now, he also said he is concerned about the precedent of his history of what happened in 2014, the invasion by russian crimea and he refers to this as a playbook in other words, a routine that is been seen before, the accumulation of forces, troops, the hardware followed by an invasion and the reason they're being given

essentially russian, russian was threatened, it was a response and so they're saying they seen this before and that is why there is concern about it potentially happening again. there have been calls for calm in the united states after friday's court verdict that cleared a teenager of murder. eighteen year old kyle rittenhouse had argued he was acting in self—defence when he shot dead two men and injured a third during unrest last year over the police shooting of a black man. the not—guilty verdict has divided the country, as our north america correspondent nomia iqbal now reports. hundreds of people marched through new york and protest at the verdict. in the city of portland, a riot broke out after protesters smashed windows and threw rocks at police. but nothing on the scale of last year's unrest. what could've happened was white

after the verdict came out, what could've happened. after the verdict came out, he spoke to one of america's most conservative talk show host. tucker carlson. self—defense is not illegal. i believe they came to the correct verdict and i'm glad that everything went well and it has been a rough journey, but we've made it through it. we made it through the hard part. the case goes beyond that in this house in kenosha. for most republican politicians, kyle rittenhouse politicians, kyle rittenhouse is a brave patriot who was defending himself that night after being chased. but many democrats are worried that by not being held accountable for killing two men and injuring the third, it's it's a dangerous message. the vice president said the decision reflected poorly on the justice system.

the verdict speaks for itself and as many of you know, spend a majority of my career working to make the criminaljustice system more equitable and clearly, there's a lot more to be done. president biden says he understands the angry and concern by some but struck a more measured tone. i i stand by with what the jury has| concluded, the jury system works and we have to abide by it. this case has exposed so many divisions that already exist in america about gun laws, racism and left versus right. the story of this teenager will do almost nothing to bring the sides together. here in the uk, there's to be a review into how to prevent migrants crossing the english channel from france. it follows months of pressure on the government over record numbers of people making the journey. our uk political correspondent, iain watson, told us why this review is happening now. the government has got to be seen to be doing something, because so far this year there have been 24,000 crossings in the channel and that is three times

higher than last year, so there is some political pressure on the government. they pledged, of course, to take back control of the border but only yesterday the labour leader was tweeking borisjohnson�*s tale over this, saying that he was promising but he cannot deliver. obviously there has to be a new initiative, but i am told that the prime minister himself, of course, is frustrated by the continuing crisis and what he wants to see is a cross—departmental focus on this issue, just like there is on tackling covid and he has nominated steve barclay as his problem solver. that might seem to be a bit of a poisoned chalice, but he is set to get to work, i am told, in the next week or so and talk to different departments to see what they can do, but also come up with some potential policy recommendations, if any more are needed. that said, i am not entirely convinced that they will be able to do what some other big initiatives have failed to do so for. the £54 million deal with france, for example, that was meant to stop migrants from setting sail

in the first place and the government said it stopped many thousands of potential crossings, but of course, as you mentioned, we are still having record numbers the headlines on bbc news... a second night of violent demonstrations in the netherlands against covid restrictions, after the city of rotterdam was rocked on friday night. as coronavirus infection rates rise across europe, tens of thousands take to the streets in austria, in protest against a new lockdown and plans for mandatory vaccines. videos have emerged purporting to show missing chinese tennis star peng shuai out for dinner with her coach in beijing. peng shuai disappeared after making sexual assault allegations against a former chinese vice—premier, two weeks ago. the videos have been released by chinese state media which claims they were filmed today. it's the latest attempt

by china to prove the tennis star is safe and well. in the past few minutes, the british foreign office has called for china to provide �*verifiable evidence' that she is well. so how did we get to this point? on november 2nd, peng shuai accused a former vice premier of coercing her into sex on the social media site, weibo. her personal feed was then censored, and she was not seen or heard in public for two weeks. then, on the 17th of november, chinese state media attribute an email to the tennis player, in which she says she is safe, and the allegations are �*not true'. two days later pictures emerge on chinese state media appearing to show peng shuai with a caption saying �*happy weekend'. but doubts are cast on the validity of the photos and email, and women's tennis association says events in china next year will be

cancelled without proof that she's safe. and then today 2 short video clips emerged, also on chinese state media, purporting to show her out for dinner with her coach and friends. the wta says it's glad to see the videos, but that it remains �*unclear if she is free�*. cindy yu is broadcast editor at the weekly magazine the spectator and host of the chinese whispers podcast — she told me china had underestimated the concern this would raise internationally: pressure is growing and snowballing in a way that chinese censors when they first took down her statement on her account ever thought it would, nobody ever thought, on her account ever thought it would, nobody everthought, i on her account ever thought it would, nobody ever thought, i think that one supports woman�*s private life and the censorship that comes

grow into something like this. but clearly, they have completely miscalculated there and i don�*t think this thing is going to end any time soon shed thinking the next few days, we can expect more of these quite bizarre and suspicious things from chinese state media because they�*re starting to realise this is getting out of control. none that is going to stop the speculations until her allegations are properly looked into. ., . , ., her allegations are properly looked into. , ., ., , into. concerns for her welfare, why are there concerns _ into. concerns for her welfare, why are there concerns for _ into. concerns for her welfare, why are there concerns for her- into. concerns for her welfare, why j are there concerns for her welfare? what is happened in the past? obviously, the chinese state has form on this. it obviously, the chinese state has form on this.— form on this. it has high-profile --eole form on this. it has high-profile people disappearing _ form on this. it has high-profile people disappearing and - form on this. it has high-profile people disappearing and the - form on this. it has high-profile - people disappearing and the comeback may do some kind of scripted apology and we found that with the actress, jack mom and the billionaire has also taken a back—seat and back—seat it comments last year and there are

people who never really really reappear. she has not appeared for years and her husband has written a memoir about that this year and she resurfaced before that resurfaced to say that i am still alive, but she is still in state custody. nobody knows where people go when they disappear in for high—profile people, due to the comeback. it�*s just a lack of communication, the lack of any transparency on any of this that makes people very concerned. an allegation so serious that it concerned. an allegation so serious thatitis concerned. an allegation so serious that it is incredibly sensitive which he is saying and so, she occupies a particularly sensitive political spot right now. you mention communications with people who have been missing. in terms of the video we have seen released today, we are not showing this on the bbc news because we have not

been able to independently verify it. but you make of that? this chain of that? does china really think that people would be reassured to see that? . it that people would be reassured to see that? , , ., _, , , see that? , it is 'ust a completely different world, — see that? , it isjust a completely different world, i _ see that? , it isjust a completely different world, i think. - see that? , it isjust a completely different world, i think. when - see that? , it isjust a completely different world, i think. when we j different world, i think. when we first see that, it�*s like, what is going on here? this is suspicious. but it�*s the idea of plausible deniability for people were sympathetic for already sympathetic to the governments because, if you don�*t want to believe her, they don�*t want to believe her, they don�*t want to believe her, they don�*t want to believe her. and to have that counter the video itself is incredibly amateurish and as i pointed out on my twitter account, the clip starts with someone off—screen sink now is the perfect time, ok, now is perfect. and then there�*s a two second pause in the coach goes into this remark in which he hammers home that it�*s november

21 so he gets that date in comments sans incredibly scripted and other they did not cut out the directors cube, the whole thing is incredibly bizarre and creepy and sinister. a major rescue operation has been taking place in southern india, where flash floods triggered by heavy monsoon rains, have killed at least 30 people. in one incident, 3 buses were washed away. analysts say unpredictable and extreme weather across south asia is driven by climate change, exacerbated by damming and deforestation, along with excessive development. thousands of demonstrators have turned out in paris to demand an end to violence against women. slogans on banners carried by the protesters included "no means no" and "educate your sons". the demonstrators are also calling for more equality between men and women and stronger government measures to fight sexism. tesla drivers have reported

being locked out of their cars, after the electric carmaker�*s app went down. dozens of owners say an error message on the mobile app prevented them from connecting to their vehicles. it�*s used as a key by drivers to unlock and start their cars. tesla�*s chief executive, elon musk, apologised and said he would make sure the server error didn�*t happen again. our correspondent caroline davies has more — technology is obviously designed to try to make our lives easier and we all know the pain when it is not go to plan. hundreds of users were having difficulty using pencil is apple according to the outage tracking site. and they tweeted that they were checking the system and secondly later tweeted that the system should be back online again. and he said that will not happen again. it is very important to

emphasise it is notjust the app thatis emphasise it is notjust the app that is the only way you can open up their cars, you can also use a key card to get into them. however, what is quite an interesting thing, speaking as a tesla user, professor david, but he spoke to him earlier, tesla can sometimes be a victim of its own success and that it sees a very high—tech company and that it has cutting—edge technology and that is what many of the users appealed to and that�*s why they were to purchase a tesla car in the first place and they become very used to just relying on the technology and may be don�*t leave the house with their keys as well. here in the uk, regular trains are returning to the dartmoor line in devon, south—west england — for the first time in almost 50 years. it�*s part of a government scheme to restore abandoned railway lines. john maguire reports. when the railway arrived in okehampton, the town through a huge street party to celebrate. that was 150 years ago.

the next century saw crowds gather for other important occasions, to name trains and to send the town sun is off to war. to name trains and to send the towns sons off to war. and even the line�*s closure in 1972, part of the beeching cuts, was marked with some ceremony. today, the festivities continue as scheduled passenger services return, in the world for years of campaigning. back in the summer, we filmed the new tracks being laid. fantastic. this is the moment, isn�*t it, really, when the track gets put down, the new track and it is going to be shortly, hopefully, a trained exeter. hopefully, a train to exeter. how long have you been working on this? well, i arrived on okehampton in 1975 and i saw it going largely derelict

then and that was when i first became interested in it. the line is the very first to be open as part of the government�*s restoring your railway scheme but this week we have seen controversy and anger elsewhere with the scrapping of the hs2 link to leeds and the northern powerhouse line between leeds and manchester. the restoration of the dartmoor line was made easier by the fact that after closing to passenger services it continued to be used in transporting railway ballast from a nearby quarry. it also ran as a heritage railway but now it has been upgraded. it is not as easy as you think. it hasn't been in good condition- but there is a huge amount of work. we have done 11 miles of track. insulation in the past four weeks. it has actually been one - of the fastest track installations in network rail history. this is the new track construction machine, an impressive piece of kit, around a quarter a mile long. you can see what is happening is a grade on top one is back, grab the sleepers, brings it to the front of the train and then

lays them in a perfectly straight line on the bed with the two tracks on top. it will run at a rate of around 400 metres per hour. and in the belly of the beast it is ryan�*sjob to keep the machine, well, on track. my position is to ensure it is somewhere near and usually i am pretty good so you have to constantly monitor i am pretty good so you have to constantly monitor the height of your clamps so they don�*t hit your sleepers, the spacing of the rail behind you and obviously the line itself. so it is a concentration game? yeah, big time. after a week where the government has been accused of reneging on promised rail improvements in the north of england reopening this line may seem a small step but it is a giant leap for people here. the passengers who will use it in the community that will serve. and the community that will serve.

john maguire, bbc news, devon. just time to take you to the us where a highway was littered with cash. after a minor accident involving an armoured vehicle. bags of notes fell out of an open door near san diego, prompting chaotic scenes as drivers stopped to scoop up the banknotes. the authorities are appealing to those who picked up the money to hand it back. after the weather we�*ll take a look at tomorrow�*s front pages in the papers — our guestsjoining me are benjamin butterworth, late editor and senior reporter for the i and former pensions minister, conservative peer, baroness roz altmann. now, it�*s time for a look at the weather with nick miller. hello. will be a good deal bluer and it will change on saturday in scotland once the corridor air has moved on through and that is not spread south right towards the uk along with the sunshine, there�*s a chance of catching a shower and across eastern

areas of the uk. this court front is moving away and there will be behind the colder air, along with the clear skies across the uk but at quarter air has arrived and it will feel very different from everything we�*ve had so far, but it is not at all unusualfor had so far, but it is not at all unusual for the had so far, but it is not at all unusualfor the time of had so far, but it is not at all unusual for the time of year. but there will be a touch of frost and parts of scotland in northern england as the day begins and as i said earlier, plenty of sunshine around. with a scattering of showers in northern scotland, wintry hills, england becoming more widespread across the eastern side of england as we go on through the day. wanted or heavier ones in there as well. where is southwest scotland, northern ireland wells in the western side of england, isolated showers will be dry and sunny. chilly to average speeds around the north sea coast, 40 mph gusts and temperatures for the most part in the single figures, around some of the single figures, around some of the coast of wales and southwest england. pay preview showers in the

east and a few shape, with the cloud here, temperatures moving in with the wind along the north sea coast where as elsewhere, there will be a more widespread frost as monday begins. monday for england and wales would deliver quite a bit of sunshine, some cloud increasing in northern england with the chance of showers towards the north sea coast and parts of southeast england. cloudier skies for northern ireland and scotland and some patch he for northern scotland with that, the temperatures are edging up again, a few degrees. they rally for a few daysin few degrees. they rally for a few days in the week ahead before it later in the week, we have another portion of cold air spreading its way southwards. and likely to be a touch colder than the air we find ourselves in at the moment. quite a lot of dry weather around the sweet, just a few showers here and there in the showers as the colder air moves in by friday will be wintry in

places.

hello. i�*m lukwesa burak, this is bbc news. we�*ll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. a second night of violent demonstrations has broken out in the netherlands — protesting against covid restrictions after the city of rotterdam was rocked on friday night. as coronavirus infection rates rise across europe, tens of thousands take to the streets in austria, in protest against a new lockdown and plans for mandatory vaccines. the world health organisation says it is very worried about the rise in covid cases in europe, as the virus
