this is bbc news with the headlines. a number of people are in critical condition after being pulled from a lake in freezing temperatures in solihull. a libyan man suspected of making the bomb that destroyed pan am flight 103 over the town of lockerbie in 1988 is in us custody — 270 people were killed in the attack. five people are now confirmed to have been killed in an explosion that destroyed a block of flats in st helier injersey yesterday. in a world first, a teenage girl from leicester has become the first person to be successfully treated for leukaemia with a new type of cell therapy.

orion splashes down, bringing a return to the moon one small step closer. hello and welcome to bbc world news. a search and rescue operation in under way in england's west midlands, after a number of people were pulled from a lake near solihull in freezing temperatures. police say those pulled from the water are in critical condition. west midlands fire service said reports suggested people had been playing on the ice at babbs mill park and fell through. the nature reserve has walking trails and fishing facilities and a river, as well as a lake. our correspondent jon donnison reports.

with night now fallen and temperatures around zero all day, emergency services remain at the scene. west midlands police have given few details but say a number of people have been pulled from the partially frozen lake and have been taken to hospital. they are believed to be in a critical condition. local reports suggest people had been playing on the ice and had fallen through, although that has not been confirmed by police. west midlands fire service say a search—and—rescue operation is ongoing. so presumably they are not certain that they have got everyone out of the water. you could just about make out in the pictures that the lake was at least partially frozen, obviously very, very cold today, and you can tell by the number of emergency services there that police, the ambulance service, the fire service regard this as a very, very serious incident. those people who have been taken to hospital, we don't know if they are adults or children or both, they are in critical condition.

days before the 34th anniversary of the lockerbie bombing, it's been revealed that a libyan man suspected of making the bomb is in us custody. 270 people died when a pan am flight exploded over lockerbie just before christmas 1988. it's been a long search forjustice for the victims�* families, as our diplomatic correspondent james landale reports. it was just after seven in the evening on 21st december 1988 when the town of lockerbie was engulfed in flame. pan am flight 103 had left heathrow for new york but in the skies above scotland a massive explosion ripped through its fuselage and down it came. most of the 259 passengers and crew were american. they all died. as did 11 others whose homes were struck by falling debris. it remains the worst act of terrorism in british history.

this is the man the us authorities accuse of making the bomb. abu agila masud, here in libya, where he had been tried and held for separate crimes. two years ago, the us attorney general formally charged masud with making the device which brought down flight 103, but he remained in libya, and only now have the us authorities been able to get access to him and take him into their custody in circumstances which remain unclear. this woman whose brother died at lockerbie hopes justice could now be done. to know now that one of those who was involved in the bombing is coming to the us to stand trial and face justice through our legal system, i think that it is something that we have been fighting for for over three decades. so i think there is a sense of finallyjustice for our loved ones. this is the only man to have been convicted of the lockerbie bombing,

abdelbaset al—megrahi, jailed in 2001, but later released and allowed to return home to libya because he was dying of cancer. his conviction was subject to several appeals, doubts that were echoed by some victims�* families, including john moseley whose daughter died. it fills my mind with questions, really. first of all, why has it taken so long? secondly, what's he doing in america? this was a crime committed on, or above, scottish soil but which came to land on scottish soil. therefore, it's the responsibility of the scottish legal system. so with the anniversary of the bombing only days away, the search for justice for those who died continues 3a years on. james landale, bbc news. 0ur north america editor sarah smith has the latest from washington.

we know that abu agila masud is in us custody and is being extradited to america to stand trial. we don't know exactly where he is now, but he is expected to appear in a federal court here in washington dc soon. the us authorities have been seeking him ever since 2017, when the fbi learned he had confessed in libya to his involvement in the bombing. and the authorities here have always also wanted to stress that the one trial in 2001 was not the end of this matter, that they have never given up seeking to bring more people tojustice for the lockerbie bombing, so to be able to put on trial here in america, a man accused of being central to that plot, will be considered a major success for law enforcement. and, of course, most of the victims of the lockerbie bombing were us citizens and their families have always wanted to see a trial happening here in america. 0ur scotland correspondent alexandra mackenzie is in lockerbie. i'm here at the garden of remembrance and many people in lockerbie will be remembering

that flight 3a years on. we come up to the 34th anniversary just days before christmas. many of the families who lost loved ones come to lockerbie, particularly at this time of year, to remember and reflect on what happened. some of the uk families have never believed, they don't believe that libya was involved in the bombing. so today's development, for them, is unlikely to bring any closure, and unlikely to bring answers to those questions that they have been asking now for almost 3a years. let's look at some of the day's other news. ukraine says 1.5 million people are without power in the region of 0desa after russian drone attacks. the military said ten iranian—made drones were shot down, but five hit critical infrastructure. south korea's opposition—dominated national assembly has passed a motion calling for the dismissal

of interior minister lee sang—min. the opposition accuses the government of mishandling its response to the halloween stampede in seoul that killed 158 people in october. france has won this year's junior eurovision song contest, held in yerevan, armenia. 13—year—old lissardo beat hosts armenia in second place, with georgia third and ireland fourth. a minute's silence will be observed in jersey tomorrow after a suspected gas explosion destroyed a block of flats, killing at least five people. it's feared that number will rise as more bodies are discovered. danjohnson reports from st helier. late last night, they accepted the reality that this rescue effort was over. the impact of this explosion was simply too devastating

for anyone to survive. on friday night, the fire service had responded to concerns about a gas leak here. eight hours later, this happened. how much faith can people here have in the emergency services when they've had a suspicion about gas, they've made that call, they've had somebody out, but still lives have been lost? it's awful. but islanders can have confidence in the emergency services. do you accept something must have gone wrong? not at this stage. well, something clearly has gone wrong because a building has exploded and collapsed, and horribly wrong as well, but we will co—operate fully and openly and transparently with every phase that happens. people are struggling to take in what happened here. it's just heartbreaking, honestly. i just... there's nothing there, you know, and seeing all the other houses with their windows blown out and doors and things makes it real, you know?

if you call out the services, - you just hope perhaps they should have been evacuated then. the difficult work goes on here. not in hope now but in search of answers for news of those who are missing, and for an explanation of what happened, and whether it could have been prevented. dan johnson, bbc news, jersey. let's cross over to solihull now, where police are giving an update on the search and rescue operation that's under way at babbs mill park. a number of people in critical condition after being pulled from a lake in reading temperatures within solihull. these are the emergency services at the scene at the moment. 0ur services at the scene at the moment. our understanding is they were

playing on a lake, a number of people, and fell into the lake, it was obviously frozen over. as we say, they have been pulled from the lake but are in critical condition. we are about to hear from west midlands police any moment now and they are going to update us on that operation, and how it is progressing. the difficulty they are reporting is they are not entirely sure if everybody has been pulled out of the lake. that is the latest, and we are looking forward to and update on them. this is west midlands police, just beginning a press to here in

regarding an incident on a lake where a number of people fell in and were pulled from the leg but remain in critical condition. we haven't had information on numbers or the condition of those pulled from the lake. 0r condition of those pulled from the lake. or if indeed everyone has been pulled out the lake. we hope this press conference will allow us a bit more insight this incident. they are looking to start at the moment there, just arranging microphones. who will notify me when we are starting to?

a bit ofa a bit of a delay here to this press conference from west midlands police. temperatures of court in many parts of the country are at freezing level. —— of course. naturally it would have been a very dangerous situation for people to be in this freezing lake, part of which as we understand it was frozen over. and a number of people have been removed to hospital. inaudible. so, this coming from west midlands police, looks like they are about to start this press conference.

the lake itself was in a park which had other activities, walking trails and so on, within the park. we saw the emergency services a few moments ago, really quite extensive emergency services there, pulling people out of the lake. no doubt attempting to stabilise them before their removal to hospital. very dark and freezing conditions. so... 50... my name is so. .. my name is richard stanton, area commander— so... my name is richard stanton, area commander with _ so... my name is richard stanton, area commander with west - so... my name is richard stanton, i area commander with west midlands fire service. i'd like to thank you all for being here this evening. before we start, i'd like to introduce my colleagues. to my left, cameron mcvittie, the tactical incident commanderfrom cameron mcvittie, the tactical incident commander from west

child and our specialist trained firefighters, including technical rescue, rescued three further children. the children were brought out of the water, where they received immediate life support care from firefighters and our ambulance colleagues. i would like to recognise the efforts of my emergency service colleagues and also members of the public on the scene. i will now hand over to rich for an update from west midlands police. ,., ., for an update from west midlands police. u, ., , ,., , police. good evening, everybody. superintendent _ police. good evening, everybody. superintendent richard _ police. good evening, everybody. superintendent richard harris - police. good evening, everybody. superintendent richard harris ofl superintendent richard harris of west_ superintendent richard harris of west midlands police, i'm going to outline _ west midlands police, i'm going to outline our— west midlands police, i'm going to outline our involvement in this incident — outline our involvement in this incident. at 2:34pm this afternoon, west_ incident. at 2:34pm this afternoon, west midlands police were called to babbs _ west midlands police were called to babbs mill park in kings hurst, a suburb_ babbs mill park in kings hurst, a suburb of— babbs mill park in kings hurst, a suburb of solihull, to reports children _ suburb of solihull, to reports children had fallen into the lake. officers — children had fallen into the lake. officers who were first on the scene have gone _ officers who were first on the scene have gone into the lake in an attempt _ have gone into the lake in an attempt to rescue them, supported by our colleagues from the fire service and west—

the lake. we will keep you updated on that story. england's footballers have arrived home after being knocked out of the world cup in a match against france watched on tv by more than 20 million people in the uk. members of the team have been saying it will take time to come to terms with the end of this world cup dream — and thanked fans for their support. our sports editor dan roan reports from doha. out of the tournament they believe they could win, the dejected england players left their hotel earlier than hoped, thejourney accompanied by all—too—familiar thoughts of what might have been. he’s by all-too-familiar thoughts of what might have been.— by all-too-familiar thoughts of what l might have been._ the might have been. he's missed it! the moment that — might have been. he's missed it! the moment that will _ might have been. he's missed it! the moment that will haunt _ might have been. he's missed it! the moment that will haunt harry - might have been. he's missed it! the moment that will haunt harry kane, i moment that will haunt harry kane, this penalty could have seen him become england's record goal—scorer and almost certainly take the showdown against france into extra time, but instead the coolest twist. today, he tweeted that he was absolutely gutted but that it's now about using the experience to be

course they would have got a bit of a shock with the temperatures, coming from the heat and the son of qatar to the freezing temperatures here in birmingham. we saw the players stepping off the plane into their cars, ready to make their journeys home around the country. clearly they don't have long now to get over the hurt of going out in the quarterfinals of the world cup, because in a couple of weeks, the premier league starts back up again. harry kane will be one of the first in action for his club, when tottenham hotspur late on boxing day. you have seen the range of emotions from the players on social media talking about how they are reacting to the defeat last night. a lot of disappointment, it is still lawful many of them that they were unable to beat france last night. —— it is still raw for many of them. the players put on a brave face for the fans who had gathered, 20 of them braved the cold to welcome the
