at the age of 73. he opened his first boutique in paris in the 1970s and became widely known for designs with broad shoulders and sharp tailoring, which drew on 1940s and �*50s glamour. one of his best—known creations was the black dress worn by demi moore in the 1993 film, indecent proposal. gunfire has been heard near the presidential palace in the capital of burkina faso, ouagadougou, amid reports of a coup. unconfirmed social media posts say president roch kabore has been arrested and been replaced by an infantry officer — colonel paul—henri sandaogo damiba, but this has not been confirmed. with me is the bbc�*s gareth barlow. what is the latest? like you sa , what is the latest? like you say. the _ what is the latest? like you say, the middle _ what is the latest? like you say, the middle of - what is the latest? like you say, the middle of the - what is the latest? like you | say, the middle of the night, this all took place seemingly a coup, although unconfirmed. it all started on sunday morning.

a mutiny that took place in several barracks across the country. soldiers in burkina faso who were unhappy with how the government's handling is limits militant threat and insurgency in parts of the country and they called for various heads of the army to step down and called for more support for the military and for theirfamilies as support for the military and for their families as well. the government in response to this alleged mutiny it had clamped down and got everything under control it was notable that members of the public took to the streets and parts of the country especially in the capital where they set up some roadblocks. they were eventually ta ken roadblocks. they were eventually taken down by the police and in response to that an overnight curfew was put in place in the capital, ouagadougou. however, in the darkness of light —— night, ings escalated with heavy and sporadic gunfire heard around the presidential palace and also a helicopter reportedly with its lights off offering above the compound there. like you say, what we're hearing now, that the president, roch kabore, has been replaced by an

world of sex—trafficking from romania to the uk. the shuttle challenger exploded soon after liftoff. there were seven astronauts on board, one of them a woman school teacher. all of them are believed to have been killed. by the evening, tahrir square, the heart of official cairo, was in the hands of the demonstrators. they were using the word 'revolution'. the earthquake singled out buildings and brought them down in seconds. tonight, the search for any survivors has an increasing desperation about it

as the hours pass. the new government is firmly in control of the entirely republic of uganda. survivors of the auschwitz concentration camp - have been commemorating the 40th anniversary - of their liberation. they toured the huts, - gas chambers and crematoria and relived their- horrifying experiences. this is bbc news. the latest headlines: the united states has ordered the families of its diplomats in the ukrainian capital, kyiv, to leave the country. intense gunfire has been heard in the capital of burkina faso amid unconfirmed reports of a coup. a bbc investigation has found that children as young as 10, are being groomed in romania, to be trafficked to the uk for sex. on arrival, they're kept as slaves, available for clients. british police say sex—trafficking is now so rife, they're struggling to bring those responsible to justice, with more suspected victims coming from romania last year than any other country.

a warning, some details injean mackenzie's report you may find distressing. this country carries a dark shame. young girls are preyed on, taken from their families and sold for sex. daniela is hiding at this safe house in a remote corner of romania. she and all the children here have been tricked into prostitution by traffickers pretending to be their boyfriends. this sinister method of recruitment is called the lover boy. i have a 13—year—old girl right here who's desperately trying to get back to her 52—year—old lover boy. when she runs away, she tells the police, "i love him". that's a photo of her with her trafficker?

yeah. she calls him iubi. "iubira" means love. the girls are groomed for export. many are brought to the uk, where the big money is. elena was rescued from a flat in the west midlands after being left for dead by her trafficker. how many men used to come each day? police! in birmingham, police are on a rescue mission. inside, they find four romanian women who they think have been trafficked. 2a missed calls.

yeah, that'll be their punters. but the women say they're here voluntarily, meaning officers have no choice but to leave them here. this is happening in every corner of the country. sex trafficking is rife in the uk. i don't think we've got anywhere near the true picture of how many victims there are there. we don't know where to go to, we don't know where to visit. the houses, it'sjust a normal house in a normal street. people will have neighbours who are victims of sex trafficking. getting the women on side is colin's best chance of catching the traffickers. hey, you ok? we're police officers. but it rarely works. cases hardly ever make it to court. it's ok, it's ok, don't worry, don't be scared. the girls�* distrust of police starts long before they reach the uk. back in romania, we found sometimes, when they disappear, police don't investigate.

this family has a remarkable story. they've just been to rescue their daughter from traffickers by themselves after the police, they say, refused to help them, something police deny. andrea was taken when she was just 12 years old. but there are many who never return. while romania is making an effort to train more police officers, this is doing little to disrupt the trade. romania's shame has now landed on britain's doorstep.

southwards on monday but coming into that high pressure, it's a weak affair. but there's still quite a bit of cloud around but where we had the cloud breaks through the night, there's patchy frost and some patchy fog as well to watch out for, some poor visibilities, but again, not widespread, but it will take its time to clear at this time of year. and then, there'll be some brightness and sunshine — notably, we think, eastern scotland, perhaps parts of north—east england, but some thinner cloud elsewhere. perhaps quite gloomy, though, in some areas and cold as we had on sunday — four or five degrees at best. our weather front towards the north as well weakens as it heads towards the moray firth, some sunshine then developing to the north of it, but it's a fairly weak affair for the most part. it then starts to push northwards again through monday night and into tuesday, so through the coming night as well, it's going to be pretty chilly where we get the cloud breaks but on the whole, there'll be a lot of cloud. some pockets of fog again on tuesday, slow to clear away but where they do, then we'll see some sunshine coming through but again, it's fairly limited — there will be a lot of cloud around and it will feel cold under that cloud, even without much breeze. that breeze still bringing in some cloudier skies and some patchy rain to the

north and the west. the high pressure, as you can see, is still close by for tuesday, as i mentioned, but by mid week, we've got this area of low pressure rolling in and that's when we see some rainfall coming in to scotland, in particular, but parts of northern ireland as well as that weather front starts to trail southwards. but again, ahead of it, perhaps a little bit of brightness but it's the south—westerly wind, the atlantic breeze, that starts to pick the temperatures up and perhaps turn some of that cloud over and allow some sunshine to come through. so perhaps a little bit brighter midweek but then, the high pressure builds towards the south once again. there's more online.

this is bbc news, with the latest business headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. america's top diplomat says it's too soon to impose sanctions against russia, but warns of a significant response if moscow invades ukraine. get the jab or lose yourjob — we hear from us workers who've opted to lose theirjobs rather than get the covid—19 vaccine. and france bans the unvaccinated from visiting bars and restaurants and even using intercity trains, but the move has divided the country. and we keep being told it's the next big thing, but what exactly is the metaverse? we look at how it could change everything from the way we work to how we socialise.
