8:06 pm
start building a new life and where they can feel safe away from persecution and danger. we punish them, we treat them like luggage. we are shifting them like cargo to another country 4000 miles away where they haven't heard of it, of what they have heard about this country is recent memories of walls in their natural cities. qm. country is recent memories of walls in their natural cities.— in their natural cities. ok, let's follow that _ in their natural cities. ok, let's follow that exact _ in their natural cities. ok, let's follow that exact point, - in their natural cities. ok, let's follow that exact point, what . in their natural cities. ok, let's follow that exact point, what is wrong with rwanda?- follow that exact point, what is wrong with rwanda? nothing wrong with rwanda. _ wrong with rwanda? nothing wrong with rwanda, with _ wrong with rwanda? nothing wrong with rwanda, with due _ wrong with rwanda? nothing wrong with rwanda, with due respect. - wrong with rwanda? nothing wrong with rwanda, with due respect. it i wrong with rwanda? nothing wrongj with rwanda, with due respect. it is a country that is coming out of years of war and atrocities and trying to build their future and good luck to them. rwanda is one of the poorest 25 countries in the world. they host five times as many asylum seekers as the uk per capita. we cannot see the point, people come to the uk, one of the richest countries in the world, it is not an
8:07 pm
excuse we cannot hold asylum seekers but a country like rwanda can. people come to the uk because they have connections, many of them have families here or other strong connections. and people are coming to us for protection, they are seeking our protection and we have a moral and legal duty to offer them protection, not deterrence and not to punish them and banish them around the planet. iline to punish them and banish them around the planet.— around the planet. one of the british government's - around the planet. one of the i british government's arguments around the planet. one of the - british government's arguments is, some of the asylum seekers coming to the uk are illegal, or they are not genuine asylum seekers. how do you go about identifying an asylum seeker versus an economic migrant? we know the vast majority of people for example who are making the channel crossing are coming from the top ten most troubled countries around the world, sedan, eritrea,
8:08 pm
afghanistan and syria. they are not coming from peaceful countries and we know most of those people, once they come to the uk and claim asylum, most of them are successful, if not the first time, on appeal they are succeeding. there is a very high success rate of those applications. this is not really an excuse. i think people take a risk because there are no legal roots to come to the uk. legal roots are very limited, very restrictive and very small. they are not offered to everyone. there is no way for any person free a prosecution to claim asylum in the uk from outside of the uk, you have to be physically in the uk, you have to be physically in the uk to claim asylum and this is not possible for many people, this option is not available so people risk their lives in order to save them. ~ ., ., risk their lives in order to save them. ~ . ., , them. what are you hoping will be them. what are you hoping will be the outcome _ them. what are you hoping will be the outcome on _ them. what are you hoping will be the outcome on monday? - them. what are you hoping will be the outcome on monday? are - them. what are you hoping will be the outcome on monday? are you | the outcome on monday? are you involved in any of the appeal

one of the britons sentenced to death for fighting russian forces in ukraine have released a statement. shaun pinner is on the right of this image. the statement says: "as a ukrainian resident for overfour years — and contracted serving marine in the 36th brigade — of which he is very proud — shaun should be accorded all the rights of a prisoner of war according to the geneva convention — including full independent legal representation." the statement went on to call on all parties to ensure the safe release or exchange of shaun. 0n the ground, ukrainian officials say their forces urgently need more supplies of ammunition. the us and nato are in the process of sending western heavy armaments, but say they need to be supplied at a pace that ukraine's forces can absorb safely. the battle for control of the key town of severodonetsk is shaping the war — with reports of
8:14 pm
street—to—street fighting. much of the city has been reduced to rubble. 0ur correspondent in kyiv, joe inwood, has the latest. so, it seems the heavy fighting is continuing in severodonetsk. street fighting, street by street the russians pushing forward. we understand the ukrainians are still resisting, but they are being pushed back into a smaller pocket of the city. the russians are employing their usual tactic, we understand, very heavy artillery barrages, pounding the ukrainian positions, making life very difficult and inflicting heavy casualties. we hear reports of 100—200 men a day losing their life for the ukrainians in the donbas. we have also heard suggestion from the deputy intelligence chief of the ukrainians today that they are running out of artillery, that their artillery pieces are outnumbered 10, 15 to 1 by the russians, and they are running short of ammunition. now, of course, this is because they need more, they want more from the west. they have had it promised, but it is not getting there yet. as it stands, a really difficult fight for the ukrainians in the donbas, specifically in severodonetsk, and one that they are really
8:15 pm
taking casualties on. the president of the european commission, ursula von der leyen, is visiting kyiv today, for talks on ukraine's proposal tojoin the european union — and alongside president zelensky, she gave an update on how those talks are progressing. the discussions today will enable us to finalise our assessment by the end of next week. the path is known, it is a merit based path forward. it is a path where, i must say, i highly appreciate the enormous efforts and the determination of ukraine in this process. the people of ukraine have proven incredible strength and motivation and stamina, so i am deeply convinced that we will together, you will overcome this horrible, atrocious war, we will and you will rebuild this beautiful country and modernise ukraine, and i just want to say we stand by your side.

slava ukraini. the family of a 15—year—old boy who died in manchester after suffering fatal stab wounds have paid tribute to their "funny and cheeky boy". jakubjumanski was taken to hospital on thursday night where he died an hour later. his mother, a woman in her 40s pictured next to him, was also treated at the scene for serious stab wounds but remains in a stable condition in hospital. a 44—year—old man from manchester was arrested in kent last night on suspicion of murder. three people have been charged with the murder of a man whose body was found in woodland in buckinghamshire in 2019. mohammed shah subhani had been reported missing eight months earlier. demonstrations are taking place across the united states calling for tougher gun control. it follows the recent mass shooting at an elementary school in uvalde in texas,
8:17 pm
where 19 children and two teachers were killed. 0ur correspondent barbara plett usher was at a protest in washington. the theme of these rallies is this time it will be different, this time there will be action on gun control. but i have to say it, didn't feel like it was different at all. people around me started to run in panic. it's not clear why, it seems maybe somebody pulled a stunt, pretending to carry out some kind of attack. whatever the case, it shows you how much fear people live with, how much this is a reality for them and that is why they imagine, not only here in washington but around the country, demanding congress act to have restrictions around gun ownership despite opposition from the gun lobby and despite opposition from republican politicians. the series of mass shootings in recent weeks has refocused national attention on this and there is a small effort in congress, senators

8:19 pm
and sugar in processed foods. 0ur political reporter tony bonsignore has more details. the environmental impact of intensive farming methods, and the role of processed foods in contributing to obesity have all become hot political topics in recent years. in 2018, the government commissioned a major review into the whole food chain. the subsequent report recommended a tax on sugar and salt, reducing meat and dairy consumption and expanding free school meals. but a leaked copy of the government's long—awaited response suggests many of those recommendations won't be accepted. the white paper instead talks more generally about initiatives to boost health sustainability and accessibility of diets, and on food prices, the government simply says it will engage closely with the food industry to understand price impacts. one of the few new practical
8:20 pm
suggestions as to increase the use of responsibly sourced wild venison. the government is expected to say its plans will promote healthier diets. many conservative mps are likely to welcome the decision to drop the idea of taxing sugar and salt, particularly given the cost of living crisis. the campaigners who want tougher measures on obesity and sustainability are disappointed. there was no government intervention on diets, they are just accepting the status quo on unsustainable dietary patterns which need to change. dietary patterns which need to chance. ., , , change. labour is accusing the government — change. labour is accusing the government of _ change. labour is accusing the government of dither - change. labour is accusing the government of dither and - change. labour is accusing the | government of dither and delay change. labour is accusing the - government of dither and delay and a former deputy leader who lost eight stone after cutting out sugar and processed food says ministers should act now despite the cost of living crisis. i act now despite the cost of living crisis. at, , act now despite the cost of living crisis. u, , . ., . crisis. i can see the concern, an one crisis. i can see the concern, anyone would _ crisis. i can see the concern, anyone would be _ crisis. i can see the concern, anyone would be concernedl crisis. i can see the concern, - anyone would be concerned about the cost of living crisis but given the products with high sugar make us more unhealthy and are not good for

8:22 pm
0rganisers confirmed that the father and son from crewe had passed away with their deepest sorrow and passed on condolences to family, loved ones and friends. now, a family member has since paid tribute to them both on social media, saying heartbroken doesn't even begin to describe how the family are feeling right now to lose not one but two loved ones at the same time. they said it was their absolute passion to be racing, and it was their dream to be racing together at the tt. and their eighth place earlier this week was a very proud moment for them all. these two latest deaths to bring the total number of people that have died during this tt�*s event to five. well those who played football with bradley paid tribute to him. never give up, he just never give up, hejust never give up with anything. brad was only a smallish person and he would not fear anyone. smallish person and he would not fearanyone. he smallish person and he would not fear anyone. he was always on the go

8:24 pm
experts say the rise comes after a steady decline over the past two months. how worried should we be? i think the most important thing is, when you start to see numbers rise, the infection rates rise, is to be prepared for that, and vaccination, and getting up—to—date with your vaccination is probably the best thing that you can do right now. forearmed, forewarned. but there is no sign of a return to the restrictions of the past. it has not gone away, but it is not the 2000 people in hospital, the huge numbers of deaths that we were seeing in earlier waves, and that is thanks to science, that is thanks to the vaccines and anti—virals that we give to those who are particularly vulnerable to the disease. so there is no indication at this stage that we are going to have to do anything more dramatic than reinforce the advice. and there are mixed feelings amongst members of the public about the rising numbers. i myself am concerned, as a medical professional. numerous patients are having to cancel appointments, we are having to cancel appointments
8:25 pm
after screening them. it would make sense to worry about it, but i would like to think that everybody is getting theirjags, and, like, i would like to think that people are taking certain precautions and stuff like that. i worked in a pharmacy, - so i kind of worked all through it, so i am kind of... i feel like it is old news to me. i feel like just kind - of get on with it, really. well, i have already had it. and you have still got to live, so, i mean, you can't be frightened. england and northern ireland also saw a small increase in numbers in the past week, but here in scotland the virus is still more prevalent than elsewhere in the uk. joanne macauley, bbc news. a pub part—owned by the england cricketer stuart broad has been badly damaged by a fire. the roof and first floor of the tap and run near nottingham have been detroyed. the managers of a pub, say they are "heartbroken" after the incident — and that no—one was injured. the fire service said

the cause was believed to have been accidental. the singerjustin bieber has revealed he is suffering from facial paralysis after cancelling shows on his world tour earlier this week. in an instagram video the pop star said he had ramsay hunt syndrome, which is caused when a virus, like shingles, affects the facial nerve near a person's ears. he said he doesn't know how long it will take to recover. as you can see, this eye is not blinking. i can't smile on this side of my face. this nostril will not move. so there is full paralysis on the side of my face. so for those who are frustrated by my cancellations of the next shows, i am just physically obviously not capable of doing them. i will be using this time to just rest and relax and get back to 100% so that i can do what i was born to do. in the meantime, this ain't it.
8:27 pm
joining me now is catriona neville, who's a member of the medical advisory board for facial palsy uk — a charity that supports people affected by facial paralysis. thank you forjoining us on bbc news. i wonder if you could clarify something first? a moment ago when i was speaking to the dealers, i said it is caused when a virus like shingles affects the nerves? it is the shingles virus, it is the chickenpox virus, isn't it? absolutely, it is. it is the same virus that causes chickenpox and shingles. it attacks the facial nerve and causes the muscles of the face to become paralysed, amongst other symptoms and in ramsay hunt

8:29 pm
bell's palsy and ramsay hunt syndrome patients will both present with paralysis of half of their face. but the difference in ramsay hunt syndrome is that patients will also have severe pain in theirface over the ear, or their head. they have a rash or blisters within their ear, on theirface or in their mouth. they might have dizziness or vertigo and they can have reduced hearing over to knitters. patients with any of those symptoms really need to be seeking medical help immediately because they need to get these anti—virals and steroids within the first 72 hours or they may not make a full recovery. what may not make a full recovery. what are the long — may not make a full recovery. what are the long term _ may not make a full recovery. what are the long term complications if you don't get there in time? luckily if --eole you don't get there in time? luckily if people get _ you don't get there in time? luckily if people get the — you don't get there in time? luckily if people get the medication - you don't get there in time? luckily if people get the medication then . if people get the medication then 70% of them will make a full recovery. but for the remaining 30%, unfortunately there can be long—term complications and those include

something when the facial nerves become overactive and patients can get linked to movements in theirface. for example, when they are chewing, there i might be closing at the same time, it is very debilitating. patients can get extreme tightness in their face as a result of this overactivity, which can be very, very painful and their face will not move properly as a result of this overactivity and stiffness. all of this can have a huge detrimental effect on a patient�*s psychological health as well. i effect on a patient's psychological health as well.— health as well. i suppose justin bieber being — health as well. i suppose justin bieber being so _ health as well. i suppose justin bieber being so open _ health as well. i suppose justin bieber being so open about i health as well. i suppose justin | bieber being so open about this health as well. i suppose justin i bieber being so open about this will raise awareness of the condition and the symptoms?— the symptoms? absolutely, it is so im ortant the symptoms? absolutely, it is so important that— the symptoms? absolutely, it is so important that people _ the symptoms? absolutely, it is so important that people understand i the symptoms? absolutely, it is so i important that people understand the condition, the symptoms so it doesn't get misdiagnosed in the future. we know from a survey we did with the facial palsy uk charity,
