jan rachinsky told the audience that moscow's propaganda sought to twist russian citizens�* memory of their own country�*s past by swapping the concepts of fascism and anti—fascism. this year�*s other laureates are another human rights organisation, ukraine�*s center for civil liberties , and the jailed belarusian rights activist, ales bialiatski. we can hear from we can hearfrom some of we can hear from some of the acceptance speech. taste we can hear from some of the acceptance speech.— acceptance speech. we are particularly — acceptance speech. we are particularly grateful i acceptance speech. we are particularly grateful to i acceptance speech. we are particularly grateful to the | acceptance speech. we are i particularly grateful to the noble committee for sharing this great honour with the ukrainian centre for civil freedoms and with the brave belarus in human rights defender. this decision of the committee has great symbolic meaning for us. it underlines that state borders cannot and should not divide civil society. the fact that they are our co—recipients as a matter of pride for us. for us, the high severity is the individual human being, lives, freedom and dignity. we reject the formula, man is nothing, the state is everything. ourfocus is not a momentous historical events, and

questions of big politics, although one must examine them in order to examine the context of human destiny. more important was the name and fates of individuals who have accounted for criminal state policy, past and present. three people are known to have died after an explosion flattened a three storey block of flats onjersey — and rescue teams are searching for people who are still missing. the blast happened about 4 o�*clock this morning in the capital, st helier. police have described the scene as one of "utter devastation". in a news conference earlier this evening, it was confirmed that the fire brigade attended the area yesterday evening, after some residents had reported smelling gas. a warning: that this report from our correspondent robert hall contains footage of the explosion. it sounded like a roll of thunder, according to eyewitnesses, a huge explosion in a residential area overlooking st helier�*s harbour. a security camera on a cafe half a mile away captured the blast

and the subsequent fire. emergency services were on the scene within a few minutes, they found one three—storey block of flats virtually demolished, with adjoining buildings on fire or badly damaged. the explosion had hurled debris and glass over an area several hundred yards across. we heard an explosion about 4am this morning, 3.30, liam, we got up and we found in ourflat all the windows had been put in, the staircase had been damaged, and there was fire everywhere. every available emergency vehicle was sent to the scene, as island authorities declared a major incident and the hospital�*s emergency department closed to non—urgent cases. it is, as i described this morning, a scene of utter devastation. i mean, the building has completely collapsed. it is — it doesn�*t even look like a building was. the collapsed building poses huge challenges for a search operation. although gas and water have been cut off, there

were still pockets of fire this afternoon and the debris pile remains unstable. the primary challenge is, one, it is dangerous to operate in and around the area. and secondly, anything that we do or don't do in the wrong way might then jeopardise the chances of survival for somebody who might yet be able to be rescued. meanwhile, dozens of people have been evacuated to st helier�*s town hall and provided with clothing, food and warmth, while efforts are under way to rehouse them as temperatures continue to fall. for the people in the run—up to christmas, effectively being told they cannot be at home, that is clearly going to be an enormous disruption to them. but i am sure will do all we can to make sure they have a good christmas. this is the second tragedy to hit jersey in the past few days. the island is still grieving the loss of three local fishermen following a collision between their vessel and a ferry. a recovery operation of the wreck site is due tomorrow. the cause of last night�*s explosion is still unconfirmed, but police

are following up information that fire crews were called to the flats in the hours before the blast, following residence�*s concerns about a smell of gas. the search for further victims is expected to last several days. danjohnson is in st helierfor us... dan, can you just update us? what was very apparent from that report is just the number of people involved in this. isjust the number of people involved in this.— isjust the number of people involved in this. yes, it is a large area that has _ involved in this. yes, it is a large area that has been _ involved in this. yes, it is a large area that has been affected i involved in this. yes, it is a large area that has been affected by i involved in this. yes, it is a large i area that has been affected by this explosion. the explosion itself is completely destroyed the block of flats that was affected but there is a large cordoning place which means there are hundreds of people out of their homes tonight taking shelter. some of them in the town hall, some of them have already been rehomed. this is the parish church in st helier where lots of people have been coming today. a really peaceful

a sixteenth child has died with a suspected infection of the invasive strain of strep a. the child was a secondary school pupil in east sussex. public health officials in brighton and hove says they're working with the school to inform parents and explain what to do if a child develops symptoms. most strep a infections are mild, and severe or complicated cases remain rare. services have resumed at manchester airport after dozens of flights were disrupted by snow. both runways were closed for a time this morning disrupting around 2a flights. in a statement the airport operation company said... "we are advising all passengers to check the status of their flight "with their airline." the "reichsburger" movement in germany was catapulted into the headlines this week, after 25 members and their aristocrat leader were arrested in co—ordinated raids by anti—terror police. accused of plotting to overthrow the government with violence, they're part of a small, but growing number of people

in germany who refuse to accept the country's post—war government as legitimate. jenny hill went to visit one such group, whose self—declared independent kingdom in the east of germany even has its own currency. deep in the german countryside, an invisible border. we're stepping into the self—proclaimed kingdom of germany, and i've come to meet the king. a sign on the door tells us we're now temporarily his subjects. peter i, as he likes to be known, has minted his own currency, made his own laws and recruited around 5,000 citizens. why? translation: the german system is fascism and satanism. _ people who are corrupt, criminal or willing to be used thrive in it, and those with an honest heart

who want to change the world for the better, for the common good, don't have a chance. the kingdom is expanding — buying up land, building outposts. we visited one of its newest colonies. we're told about 30 people live here. they don't pay german taxes, won't send their children to school, plan their own healthcare system — and they don't observe german law. benjamin, who speaks for the community, lives here with his young family. translation: if someone lives on german territory, _ of course he is subject to its laws. that's fine. but if someone has practically no connection to germany and spends his life in the kingdom, then our laws apply. the people we've been speaking to are known as reichsburger, "citizens of the reich". the name may sound familiar. just a few days ago, several reichsburger were arrested

for allegedly planning the violent overthrow of the german government. the people we have met in the kingdom of germany say they have no violent intentions. nevertheless, the country's intelligence agencies say they do represent a threat, because they peddle conspiracy theory and extremist ideology. not true, says the king. but he's found a new audience — those who deny covid, reject the vaccine. and he's planning a tv channel. many dismissed reichsburger — the kingdom of germany was a bit of a joke. germany's learning to take them seriously. jenny hill, bbc news, eibenstock. the actress ruth madoc has died, at the age of 79. she found fame playing gladys pugh in the hit tv comedy hi—de—hi in the 1980s. she also appeared in the second series of 'little britain',

to the marine world. marine species are facing unsustainable fishing and by—catch, poaching, criminal networks, pollution, climate change, disease. the pillar coral that's found throughout the caribbean is now deemed critically endangered, threatened by pollution and warming seas. many other species feed and live on these corals. the dugong, a large grazing marine mammal is now on the brink of extinction, with trawling and pollution wrecking its habitat. what is happening here in montreal aims to turn this around by agreeing a global deal to protect nature. indigenous people, many of whom live in some of the most biodiverse places on earth, are here to remind all of those countries that their rights are a fundamental part of that. where we are able to protect our territories and practice our traditional livelihoods, that is where nature remains and biodiversity remains.

so these are hot spots that are left. the most biodiverse areas are indigenous people - and local communities' areas. places where they live. not places where guards are wearing uniforms - and guns to guard, no. it's where people live, i because then they know the value of this biodiversity, and that is why they live - in harmony with it. there are almost two weeks left of these negotiations, but there are already some concerns that there is a lot of division remaining between all of the countries, particularly on how to pay for the protection of biodiversity. with a million species now facing extinction according to the un, this is being called a last chance for the natural world. victoria gill reporting. a quick update on that england france match at the world cup qatar — where it's now 1—0 to france almost 30 minutes in. the winner will face morocco in the semi—finals.
