harry and meghan�*s tell—all documentary goes to air in a few hours — we'll look at what secrets it might spill about the british royal family. and a sculptor who began her life in the caribbean wins the uk's prestigious turner prize — with her works inspired by her childhood. the secrets it might spill over every cycle. making use of things around you. i have always been, use what you have. hello and welcome to the programme: an aristocrat, an ex—paratrooper and a former politician are among 25 people who've been arrested in germany on suspicion of plotting to overthrow the government. the authorities say

the far—right group were preparing an armed attack on the reichstag building. the police raids are being described as one of the biggest anti—extremism operations in modern german history. let's get more details from our berlin correspondent, jenny hill. before first light, a plot uncovered. officers interrupting what investigators believe was a terror cell preparing to overthrow the german government. its members, they say, were prepared to kill to achieve their aim. translation: according to our findings, the association - has set itself the goal of eliminating the existing state order in germany. the free, democratic, basic order — using force and military means. this german aristocrat is believed to be one of the ringleaders. it is thought heinrich xiii, prince reuss, planned to install himself as head of a new german government,

and had even chosen a cabinet of ministers. the plot was reportedly hatched here at his hunting lodge. it sounds extraordinary — fantastical. but prosecutors say the group were serious, and extremely dangerous. they had set up a military arm, attempting to recruit from the german police force and army. most of those arrested today are believed to be part of the so—called reichsburger movement. the citizens of the reich is a loose grouping of conspiracy theorists who refuse to recognise the modern german state and reject the authority of its government. it's believed there are 21,000 of them scattered across the country, and estimate that 10% are potentially violent. the reichsburger have protested alongside covid—deniers, anti—vaxxers and followers of qanon. they were there two years ago when a mob tried to storm the german parliament. politicians here were already worried. conspiracy theories — including those espoused by the reichsburger — have proliferated here

in recent years, particularly during the pandemic. that's already led to violence. today, driving home once again just how potentially dangerous such disinformation can be. people here used to dismiss, deride the reichsburger. germany is learning they are far from harmless. jenny hill, bbc news, berlin. the bbc�*s damien mcguinness in berlin gave us more details. the idea of a 71—year—old minor aristocrat trying to overthrow the modern german state and become its new monarch might seem outlandish but in fact, that has sparked the largest anti—terror operation and modern germany has ever seen. that is because the people behind this plot are seen as a real threat and capable of committing serious violence. 25 people have been arrested including the former mp and the

federal parliament was serving as a judge until her arrest and as a judge until her arrest and a number of serving and former army personnel and that is the real worry. that these people were well connected or trying to recruit other security services army police personnel in order to stage of violent coup. this is all part of what is known as the reichsbuerger movement. these guys are known as citizens of the right and they have been around for decades since the 80s. but until recently, there have been viewed as relatively harmless, rather eccentric, they did not believe in the modern german state and they wanted to go back to a pre—world war i germany. and until recently, they have just been seen as people who refuse to pay taxes. but we have seen over the past few years as they coalesce together with other conspiracy theorists, such as auntie faxes are covid—i9 deniers and these people are coming together in saying they do not believe that

the modern german state is legitimate and in this latest plot, they are prepared to stage violence in order to overthrow modern germany. peru has been plunged into a new political crisis. the president, pedro castillo, was detained by security forces after congress voted to impeach him. earlier the left—wing president declared a state of emergency in an attempt to try to avoid getting impeached. he made a televised address to the nation, in which he announced that he was dissolving congress and would rule by decree. translation: i am temporarily dissolving congress _ and establishing an emergency government, i will call for new elections as soon as possible for a new congress with constitutional powers to draught a new constitution with constitutional powers to draft a new constitution within a period of no more than nine months. meanwhile, president castillo's former vice president, dina bolute has been sworn in as the country's new president. she is the first

woman to lead peru. addressing congress, ms boluarte called for a political truce to form a government of national unity and she said she would govern untiljuly 2026, which is when mr castillo's presidency would have come to an end. has the political disturbance in peru settled or can there be another unrest — here is the analyses from the localjournalist siomen tegel who has been following the story on the ground. with a dramatic day but things have calmed down quite a bit in the constitutional order is been re—established after pedro castillo attempted to break it. with this completely unconstitutional attempt to dissolve congress, which he had no constitutional authority but also no political support. he is now in custody and has been arrested. i think he is going to be facing a very long list of charges. even before today, he was facing the possibility

of being impeached for corruption. he is alleged to have taken bribes and school jobs in the public bureaucracy. and we now have a constitutional president once again, dina boluarte, the vice president was been sworn in by congress. figs president was been sworn in by concress. �* , ,, president was been sworn in by concress. a i. president was been sworn in by concress. a , president was been sworn in by congres— congress. as you say, this was the third impeachment - congress. as you say, this was the third impeachment since . congress. as you say, this was| the third impeachment since he came to office injuly 2020. but it is fair to say that it is been going through a rocky political period.— political period. yes, that's ri . ht. political period. yes, that's right- peru _ political period. yes, that's right. peru has _ political period. yes, that's right. peru has been - political period. yes, that's right. peru has been going| right. peru has been going through some severe political turbulence will be going back to 2016 but climaxed in 2020 and again now, there's a real problem, a structural problem with peruvian politics that the system that we have here and the parties are not representing ordinary peruvians and their needs. peru has the highest covid—19 mortality rate in the world, for example. the politicians not addressing that are fixing the health care system and pedro's vaccination

rate is declined in the top peruvians are suffering from food and security event this constant political bickering between congress and the president and most critics or commentators, independent commentators, independent commentators refer to both congress and pedro castillo as being quite corrupt and really not addressing the basic needs that many peruvians have. let me bring you some live pages now from the streets of lima — protesters both for and against the new government have been gathering outside parliament for the last few hours — they have been peaceful — but in the last few minutes we have seen some instances of clashes with the police. let's take a look at some

of the stories in the headlines in the uk and around the world. the british mpjulian knight has been suspended as a conservative member of parlaiment after a complaint was made to the metropolitan police. he represents the solihull constituency in the west midlands, but will now sit as an independent. a party spokeswoman did not comment on the nature of the complaint as it under investigation. vladimir putin has admitted that russia's involvement in ukraine will be a "long process", while speaking at russia's human rights council on wednesday. mr putin said he would use all means necessary to protect russia's interests. the mayor of kyiv has warned that ukraine's capital could face what he called an "apocalyptic" scenario, if russian air strikes continue. the city is already facing severe power cuts because of the attacks on energy infrastructure, but vitali klitschko said it could reach the point where no heating at all was available. temperatures in kyiv

regularly fall to fifteen degrees below zero. a new zealand court has temporarily taken custody of a baby after his anti—vax parents prevented him from undergoing life—saving surgery. the mother and father had sought a ruling that their child should only receive blood transfusions from donors who were unvaccinated against covid. a un conference on biodiversity — billed as the "last best chance" to save the planet's ecosystems — is taking place in canada. delegates at the cop—15 summit, are hoping to agree a new deal to save the earth's forests and oceans from irreversible human destruction. scientists say a million species are currently at risk of dying out. our climate editor, justin rowlatt reports.

this summitand this summit and montreal is about protecting biodiversity. the vast range of species that together constitutes the web of life on earth. the blue whale! is the biggest creature that exists on the planet! if you can imagine, for more strands, you if you can imagine, the more strands, you have more connections. you have more interplay, just get one of the strengths of the whole thing doesn't move. all the strength support each other in that is the trouble that people do not realise when you start cutting all these biodiversity strands, effectively, suddenly the web collapses. we are destroying that web of life faster than ever before. you this is my most famous victims of the rise of humanity, a dodo here at the national history museum, the last one died within 350 years ago. at the un says more

than a million species are now like the dodo and at risk of extinction just look at how global wildlife populations have declined down by more than two thirds since 1970. humanity has become a weapon of mass extinction. we are treating a nature like a toilet. and ultimately, we are committing suicide by proxy. the ultimate aim of this conference of this conference is to try and ensure humanity can live in harmony with nature. protecting 30% of land and sea by 2030, said targets by 2030, set targets to prevent extinctions and provide funding to developed nations. the uk government believes an ambitious deal is possible. up until now, nature i has been the cinderella and that's more and more prominent in recognition that without preserving all these. aspects of biodiversity, - actually, people treasure this and the animals actually rely on all of these plants - and other elements that we have

in order to make sure that we - have a sustainable planet. there could hardly be more at stake. biodiversity is the foundation that supports all life on earth. negotiations in canada will last almost two weeks. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme. they've promised an unprecedented look into the way the british royal family works — we'll ask what we can expect from harry and meghan�*s tell—all documetary. saddam hussein is finished because he killed our people. our women, because he killed our people. ourwomen, our children. because he killed our people. our women, our children. the signatures _ our women, our children. the signatures took— ourwomen, our children. the signatures took only a few minutes but they brought a formal end to three and a half

a warning this report from our royal correspondent sarah campbell has flash photography. arriving at this glitzy awards ceremony in new york... "do you have a message for your family?", harry was asked. not last night. on stage, the chat was light—hearted. i actually thought we were going on date night so i found it quite weird that we're sharing the room with 1500 people! we don't get out much because our kids are so small and young... with them, kerry kennedy, who presented them with a human rights award named after her father, robert f kennedy. you know, we're so proud of their work on racialjustice and on mental health parity and awareness, and the multitude of things that they have done. what they have done, since meeting six years ago, is now the subject of a netflix series. i realised they're never going to protect you. . it is hotly anticipated, and most people will have an opinion. i didn't want history to repeat itself. self—styled reality tv queen gemma collins does know the ups and downs

of telling your truth on camera. they've got their story to tell. for some reason, they feel very wronged, which i'm looking forward to finding out why. the series will be pored over, dissected and commented on, just as these trailers have been, with the context in which some of these images have been used open to question. from a pr perspective, there are risks. as much as someone might want to go and tell their story and their truth, someone else might have a different recollection and a different perspective on what happened. and people will then start questioning your truth, picking holes in it, and if there is evidence to the contrary, suddenly the narrative can switch. there is a hierarchy of the family. this producer likens the series to the reality tv she has won numerous awards for. a bit like big brother, it's sort of, who wins? you decide. you will watch that series and think, "the royal family need looking after, they've come out of it better." or you will be on the side of harry and meghan and think, "wow, they had to put up with a lot and i'm on their side." but this isn't reality tv — it's real life.

today, the king celebrated best business practice in westminster. tomorrow, he knows his family may well be a global story once again. at what point, if at all, do they decide to answer back? sarah campbell, bbc news. in liverpool — the sculptor veronica ryan — who made the uk's first permanent public artwork — to honour the windrush generation — has been awarded this year's turner prize. thejudges praised her 'poetic and evocative' work. the prize is awarded to a british artist — for an outstanding exhibition or other presentation of their work — in the preceding year. our arts editor katy razzall was at the awards ceremony. the winner... ..veronica ryan. applause. veronica ryan is the oldest ever turner winner. power! visibility! the prize for innovation in contemporary art, awarded to a sculptor born

in 1956 in montserrat in the caribbean who moved to the uk as a toddler. it is tremendous as an older artist to win a turner prize and be visible, and to send a message to young artists. you have to make your work because it is important to you. her sculptures often make reference to her caribbean childhood, mysterious works focused on seeds, fruit pits, pods, sometimes held in thread pouches crocheted by the artist. thejudges praised her for poetic works, transforming items that are often lost or thrown away. has it been a struggle to get to 66 before the proper recognition started to come? yeah, i mean, it has been an incredible struggle. there were 20 years almost where no one was paying attention to my work. but i think because i grew up in a family where recycled and you made use of things around you, i have always

been, i think you just use what you have. before this prize, ryan was best known for the first permanent work in the uk honouring the windrush generation — her sculptures of caribbean fruit unveiled in east london last year. she beat three other artists to this year's prize. heather phillipson explored our relationship with nature in an eerie, apocalyptic world. nonbinary artist sin wai kin looked at issues of identity through a boy band in which the artist played all four members. and ingrid pollard examined racism in the uk, in part by looking at pubs named the black boy. artists are undervalued, i think, so this is a chance to get out there, to have a look at what artists are doing now, to bring it to public attention and to really try to engage the public in debate about their response to the work. liverpool played host to the turner prize tonight

for the first time in 15 years, a celebration of contemporary art in a city at the of british cultural life. katie razzall, bbc news, liverpool. the last boeing 7li7 has rolled off the production line at the factory in washington state. it will join the fleet of atlas air early next year. the first nj was built in 1967 and more than 1500 have been produced over the past 5 decades. this one is destined to be a cargo plane and is large enough to transport more than 10 and a half thousand solid—gold bars or approximately 19 million ping—pong balls or golf balls that's all for now — stay with bbc world news.

hello. we're already seeing the snow piling up across some parts of northern scotland here, for example, aberdeenshire. so, no wonder there are snow warnings out, notjust for northern scotland, but snow showers elsewhere. but with the widespread frost, of course, ice is a real concern, particularly where the showers have been, but not exclusively. and this cold air sitting upon us at the moment is here to stay. you can trace its origin right the way back up to the arctic, and it will, in fact, engulf many parts of northern europe. so although the chance of snow is low inland, it's certainly not without the realms of possibility, because most of the showers that fall — as we head through the rest of the week — could fall as snow, most likely in western and eastern areas, and particularly across northern and northern scotland, where that snow will continue

to blow around in the strong wind, as much as ten centimetres forecast here. but perhaps a few more of those showers drifting southwards during the day on thursday. a few more showers as well for wales, the southwest, northern ireland. and it will be a cold start this thursday morning. widely frosty, which means that where we have got some dampness around and particularly the showers, it is going to be icy. that's one of the main hazards this morning as well as some locally freezing fog around. but we've got that snow risk as well for the north continuing, perhaps a few more wintry flurries coming down across scotland to the north eastern areas through the day. as i've already mentioned, a few more showers for northern ireland, wales and the southwest and sunshine in between. a lot of dry weather elsewhere, but it's cold —

colder than it was yesterday and feeling colder still when you add on the strength of that wind. and that wind will continue to blow those showers further south through this evening and overnight. so perhaps a few wintry flurries notjust in the southwest, but also pushing across the midlands, east anglia towards the south and east, not amounting to a great deal, but potentially our first wintry flurries, sleet and snow flurries of the season. and certainly another cold night on the cards this coming night as well as this morning. so scraping the ice off the cars, once again at real risk of ice again on friday. and wintry showers around, temperatures about 2—5 celsius, perhaps not quite as cold as those during the day ahead, but it gets colder still over the weekend because we start to see patchy, freezing fog lingering. so in that case, temperatures won't get above freezing for much of the day and over the snowfields. now, if you do want to stay across what's happening regionally and temperature by day and night, the apps a great place to get that info —
