more rain for northern ireland before dark, and it will feel chilly out and about despite that hazy sunshine, and overnight that rain will make its way across most parts of the uk, again another 15, 20 millimetres possible in places, so, as a result of the wind strengthening without rain and the cloud, it won't be quite as chilly as it was last night, but it will be another wet start for some eastern areas before that clearance out of the way, and then it's a day of sunny spells and scattered heavy showers, the odd rumble of thunder, and, again, feeling a tad chilly.

hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... rishi sunak is in kyiv meeting

ukrainian president zelensky for the first as prime minister — and pledges to continue the uk's support. the president of fifa has expressed support for the lgbtq community and migrant workers — but hits back at western critics of the country's human rights record, accusing them of hypocrisy. i think for what we europeans have been doing in the last 3,000 years, around the world, we should be apologising for the next 3,000 years before starting to give moral lessons to people. at cop27 — the un climate agency publishes a draft proposal for a deal to tackle the issue of "loss and damage" that included creating a new fund to help countries cope with the cost of climate change. now on bbc news, we are england: education, from conflict to classroom.

what's your favourite subject today? 3d design. yeah, i agree. i really feel empowered, i can do something, i have the power of education. if you have a pen, that is the power. without pen, there is no power.

honey. 0h, where is the honey?

sophia, how much? 750. litres or millilitres? millilitres! well done. show me on your hands. here is my greater- than or less than so on. which way will it be? i've got 200 millilitres, 100 millilitres. - we realised there were going to be a few ukrainians coming _ to live in our local. village, in rowledge. so it was always a possibility that some were going tojoin us. - but really, you can't prepare until you meet the child. - until theyjoin us, you do not

know their emotional- state after everything | they've been through. how much english they have, or their ability. _ my name is sofiia. i am eight years old. i live in kharkiv. i have ten friends, and i have two teachers. it's miss wilson and miss willcott. there's a lot more i than the classroom. it's the friendship groups - and having dinner around people's houses after school.

which all help her to feel safe - and happy and that she does belong. you know, it's not easy having i somebody come into your class overnight who you're not expecting. but it's an absolute pleasure to try and make herfeel... _ getting emotional... to make her feel happy here is my pleasure. i my name is salma, i'm 23 years old and i'm from afghanistan. i currently study at brunel university and my degree is bio—medical sciences. currently, my status

in uk is as refugee. so i arrived in the uk when i was 16 years old. it was a very kind of mix of feelings. at the same time, i was nervous because i entered into a new world that was very, very different from afghanistan. the culture, the language, the people. it was really difficult situation. but still i knew deep inside me this is where i wanted to be, so i have to adjust myself into the society. these images are my childhood with war, but i only try to keep the good memories with me. it's just that you miss the country where you used to live and where you were born. in afghanistan, you can't go outside, especially alone. as a woman, you need to have a male

with you to go out anywhere, even going to school. i know my family was allowing me to go to school, but not alone on my own like i'm walking now, like i came today alone. school was the first step for me, like a baby step, getting into british life and british society. so i was really nervous. it'sjust the language was a huge barrierfor me,

then i found out that, being an asylum seeker, i'm not eligible for student finance. and obviously i did not have any money on me to do my own personal education. and at that time i thought, ok, i think that's the end of my education life. i can't go any further. i applied to different scholarships, and my scholarships got rejected from many universities and i was getting rejection, rejection, rejection.

i was brought up in an orthodox jewish family and the practices and the community and the rituals are very important to me. and if you look atjewish history, it's basically a timeline of expulsion and persecution. and so i had really no choice but to commit my life to supporting refugees. jews have been using immersion, or mikvah, as a ritualistic practice for hundreds of years. there is a lot of difficulty in the world and when one immerses, puts their entire body under the water, they find a purity, they find a renewal. it's really at the heart of being able to do this work,

especially working with people who've experienced terrible things. and immersing myself helps renew my energy and focuses my mind and my body on the task at hand. asylum seekers don't have the right to student finance. so we coordinate various scholarships which asylum seekers and people with different immigration statuses can apply for and can use to bypass the need for student finance.

hey, how's it going? i'm great, thanks. thank you for coming in. i'm really pleased to see you. thank you so much for coming in. shall we go to the mentoring room? we have a large mentoring program, which matches young refugees who need a bit of help with volunteers that give up their time to support them. without important adults in their lives, without someone to make mistakes in front of, young refugees can turn in on themselves. she worked when she was in high school so couldn't able to concentrate on her studies. there are ways of making your story livelier. when i was in sri lanka i studied like a levels. but i couldn't finish, so i would like to continue here, because i would like to finish something, to get some degree for my future. because i want to be a social worker in the future. using punctuation consistently

throughout your story. english is her second language, just like me, and she's made great progress. i'm very grateful to live in this country. and how do i repay that? by making sure migrants, regardless of if they're economic migrants or refugees, they step up, assimilate the culture and be part of the community, not living on the fringes. everything was ok before the war. i woke up at five in the morning in kyiv and my mum said to me that the war was started. i couldn't even say anything, because i didn't understand that it's real, it's not a dream.

of course it's a shock to be a refugee, because i didn't think that i will move abroad.

we will be able to look— at a management style that fits in. there is a more - traditional view that the issue is about command and controll and decision making, almost military and autocratic, this must be done. good opportunity to use leadership like that — english teenagers and ukrainian teenagers are different. here people are, i think, more talkative. more friendly. are you liking it? yeah! is it a big difference to your old school? yeah. what's your favourite subject this week? i 3d design. iagree. they don't want to disturb me or to remind me about the situation. but i never forget

about it, of course. oh, my gosh, england's amazing. we re were not very good as a country using — were not very good as a country using our— were not very good as a country using our tech. _ hi, it's moses from screenshare. great, thanks. when we give devices, laptops, phones, tablets to young refugees, it can be transformational. you want to contact your solicitor,

you want to enrol at university or college, you want to apply for a job, you want to have a skype call, or whatever, with yourfamily, you can't do that without a device. so i spend some of my time trying to convince individuals and businesses to give me their used technology. we then refurbish it as tech—heads and then pass it on to someone who's going to make the most of it. if i change my identity, i change who i am. and i do not want that. i am part of uk, but still deep inside me i am afghan. it doesn't mean that i have forgotten my own religion or my own culture. but i'm being part of something new, which i'm loving it, definitely.

we're of course here to celebrate you, all of our wonderful students who consciously chose to give up the very little spare time you have to take part in non—academic studies. the current situation in afghanistan really saddens me and it's making me feel more, like, proud and happy to know that i'm here today getting this award and getting myself involved in such activities that i knew i would never get the opportunity in afghanistan.

and being a woman, from pashtun background, it's a huge proud for myself to know that i am standing here today. it's an amazing feeling. this is a london waterloo, chain chair— this is a london waterloo, chain chair for— this is a london waterloo, chain chair for services... _ i understand that i will be in england for a year, maybe for a couple of years. so, yeah, ifeel good and i feel bad. bad part because i understand that

now i am free but lots of people in ukraine are not free today and they struggle to be free. and i can't help them. that's welcome. silence. can we please, in our order, with our shields, line up at the door?

welcome to class assembly. i'm very happy, because sofiia goes to school in england. she's strong girl, she's happy all day when go to school. "mother, come on! come on!

i don't eat, i do to school!" children amazing, teachers very kind for sofiia. so sweet school. like home. we had some fog around this morning. it was a frosty start. the coldest night since last spring in parts of northern ireland and wales. but further east, still severe

flood warnings in force meaning a threat to life. and it's because we've had a month and a half worth of rain in some parts of east and north—east scotland in the last three days, and also parts of eastern england have been quite wet. for the next 2a hours, you can still see some rain in eastern areas, and then more comes in from the west. so, once again, we are going to see 15—20 millimetres of rain in the next 2a hours. this weather front, though, in the east, might well be creeping a little further westwards but it's tending to peter out. the rain coming into northern ireland becomes the main player, so the sunshine turning hazy, the wind picking up here and rain before the end of the day. but some hazy sunshine in between. it's a rather grey picture. still some drizzly rain further east. but it does look dry for today's rugby league world cup finals at least. and with some brightness around early afternoon, before darkness falls, and then as we head through the latter part of the evening, that rain from northern ireland pushes across western scotland, western fringes of england and wales.

and it will make its way across much of the mainland through the night. so with more cloud, wind and rain around, it doesn't look quite as chilly. just bear in mind again, through today and tonight, still blowing a gale across the northern isles. that's been relentless, those gale force winds, in the last three or four days. very rough conditions indeed here. now, we've got that rain first thing in the morning, a wet start in the east again. but it should clear through, unlike the rain we've had. then it's the day of sunny spells and scattered heavy showers, one or two rumbles of thunder as well. something wintry over the hills, even with the rain moving through actually during the coming night. it is that chilly, the air. as we go towards monday, we've got the next low pressure systems coming in, which looks set to give gales potentially across southern areas, through the channel — we need to keep an eye on that. plus the amount of rain for england and wales in particular, perhaps northern ireland and southern scotland. it may not reach northern and eastern areas for a time. but again, feeling quite chilly, particularly given there could be some wintriness again over the hills

in the north. it's a really unsettled looking weather picture as you can see, as we move right the way through next week. and as ever, we'll keep you up to date.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines. rishi sunak is in kyiv meeting ukrainian president zelensky for the first as prime minister — and pledges to continue the uk's support. i'm here today to say that the united kingdom will continue to stand with you. we will stand with you until ukraine has won the peace and security it needs and deserves, and then we will stand with you as you rebuild your great country. the head of the housing association responsible for the mouldy flat blamed for the death of two—year—old awaab ishak has been sacked. this week a coroner ruled poor ventilation in the home caused the respiratory illness which killed the toddler in 2020. the president of fifa has expressed support for the lgbtq community
