good evening. a community vigil has been taking place this evening in solihull following the deaths of three boys aged eight, ten and 11, who had fallen through the ice on the surface of a lake. they were rescued by specialist fire officers and rushed to birmingham children's hospital and heartlands hospital but police said they couldn't be revived. a fourth boy who is six years old remains in a critical condition. west midlands fire and rescue described the deaths as "tragedy beyond words", adding that frozen water can look picturesque but can be lethal. they urged parents and young people to be extremely careful in the freezing weather. our midlands correspondent phil mackie has been following the events and reports from kingshurst. tonight, hundreds came to remember, a short distance from where the

tragedy unfolded. the children had been playing next to the partially frozen lake when they ventured on to the ice and it gave way. first one, then the others fell in. by the time darkness fell yesterday, the four boys had been pulled out. they had all suffered cardiac arrests. it was a massive response from the emergency services, as everyone did their very best to save their lives. the first call came at 2.31; in the afternoon. the first ambulance arrived within seven minutes, shortly after the police and firefighters. at 8.20, the four children were confirmed as being in a critical condition. today, the news broke that three of them had died. i would like to pass on our deepest sympathies at this time. the tragic circumstances yesterday afternoon, so close to christmas time, and our sympathies with the families who have lost loved ones in this incident. we have seen footage that police officers initially went

into the water to help pull the children out, were there members of the public as well, and just how brave were those people who did that? yes, police officers did go into the water. they were joined by other members of the other emergency services. one of my officers was trying to punch through the ice, to actually rescue the children themselves. that officer, as a result of that, had some mild hypothermia yesterday. i am pleased to say he has been released from hospital. the terrible task of searching through the freezing lake continued today. there were fears another child might have been missing. they no longer think that is the case. but they want to make sure the same thing doesn't happen again. we would ask arents thing doesn't happen again. we would ask parents and _ thing doesn't happen again. we would ask parents and carers _ thing doesn't happen again. we would ask parents and carers to _ thing doesn't happen again. we would ask parents and carers to remind - ask parents and carers to remind their children of the dangers of ice and why they should keep of it. please help us to avoid this from happening again. fix, please help us to avoid this from happening again-— please help us to avoid this from happening again. a short walk from where the tragedy _ happening again. a short walk from where the tragedy happened, - happening again. a short walk from where the tragedy happened, the i where the tragedy happened, the children's primary school was closed today. comfort was among many

even with the light snow falling, the temperature is below freezing, we still have people here tonight, lighting candles, paying their respects to those children who died. there are messages notjust from firefighters but west midlands police, the nhs, the mayor of the west midlands, the leaders of birmingham and solihull city councils as well as the local football team, marston green, and also messages from other primary schools, giving that lesson, warning children not to go out on the ice, as those three children did and of course, the fourth, who is still in critical condition in hospital. phil mackie, there, thank you from kingshurst, where that vigil is being observed. they �*s other others may news now. —— the day's other main news. after the latest talks to avert strike action by nurses, the head of the royal college of nursing has accused

the health secretary steve barclay of showing disrespect to the profession, and of turning down an opportunity to get an agreement before the strike takes place. this week sees a new wave of strikes in many sectors. train strikes are to go ahead from tomorrow, after members of the rmt, the uk's largest rail union, rejected a pay offerfrom network rail. the rmt is also involved in a battle with the rail delivery group, where it represents about 20,000 workers at 14 train companies. one look at the calendar for december highlights the extent of the strike action. we have marked the action and for more. if you look at rail, two strikes going ahead this week and then another two on friday and saturday. it is a long—running dispute over pay and working practices, as we know. if we look at

another part of the calendar, nurses take action on thursday and next week on tuesday, and by the way, it is england, wales and northern ireland. this is the first time in history that nurses have taken strike action. they're part of this tide of industrial action involving other groups, going into the new year. it involves driving examiners, royal mail workers, it involves driving examiners, royal mailworkers, borderforce, highway mail workers, border force, highway workers mailworkers, borderforce, highway workers and baggage handlers, the list goes on. ministers held an emergency meeting this afternoon to discuss contingency plans. 0ur political editor chris mason has the details. # so hurry down the chminey tonight...# music on, hoods up, flags out. and remember your gloves and a whistle. # santa baby...# this is what a strike in the health

service looks like. nurses and social workers, among others, walking out in northern ireland today, including in antrim. at westminster, the health secretary steve barclay met a union leader tonight ahead of the nurses�* strike in england, wales and northern ireland on thursday. he did not want to talk about pay but they did, so if steve barclay was wondering on his way in what the royal college of nursing might say on their way out, he didn�*t have to wait long. i did nursing might say on their way out, he didn't have to wait long.- he didn't have to wait long. i did a lot of talking _ he didn't have to wait long. i did a lot of talking in _ he didn't have to wait long. i did a lot of talking in the _ he didn't have to wait long. i did a lot of talking in the meeting - he didn't have to wait long. i did a lot of talking in the meeting and l lot of talking in the meeting and there was very little coming from there was very little coming from the other side of the house. in fact, i�*m extremely disappointed at the belligerence that was shown. they closed their books and walked away from the nursing profession this afternoon. in away from the nursing profession this afternoon.— this afternoon. in scotland, two ma'or this afternoon. in scotland, two major unions — this afternoon. in scotland, two major unions have _ this afternoon. in scotland, two major unions have called - this afternoon. in scotland, two major unions have called off - major unions have called off strikes, although the royal college of nursing are still asking its members what they want to do. from the health service to transport, the rmt have rejected the latest offer from network rail, so those strikes

and the impact of the action is clear when we look at the calendar again. in fact, today is the last day of normal service until monday january 9th. the red days are strike days. the orange days are when a reduced service is being run. that is the entire month affected from today and it is not back to anything resembling normality until monday, the 9th of january. pay is a very big issue in this dispute but also, propose changes to working practices is another big obstacle to agreement. 0ur transport correspondent katy austin is in york. what is the latest you have for us? well, the festive season may be upon

us but there�*s precious little joy in store for rail passengers. tomorrow, wednesday, friday and saturday, only about 20% of britain�*s usual train services will run. they will start late and finish earlier than normal. some places will have absolutely no trains at all. passengers are being told only to travel by train if absolutely necessary. there will be a knock—on impact to the morning after those 48—hour strikes as well so on thursday and sunday morning. and we are now going into what is pretty much a month of disruption on the railways. there is an overtime ban at 14 railways. there is an overtime ban at ia train companies, due to start on sunday. that is expected to lead to reduced services in some places and then we have further strikes over christmas and into january as well. what chances of this all being solved quickly? the rmt has already rejected proposals from the group

representing train companies and today, its members voted against what network rail has described as its best and final offer. the tssa union is also voting on that offer and one small group in the unite union has already accepted a deal but after all these months in the dispute between the rmt and the rail employers, there is still no settlement in sight. thanks, katy austin, there, _ settlement in sight. thanks, katy austin, there, in _ settlement in sight. thanks, katy austin, there, in york. _ settlement in sight. thanks, katy austin, there, in york. let's i settlement in sight. thanks, katy austin, there, in york. let's look| austin, there, in york. let�*s look at the health service now. as we�*ve already heard, talks between the royal college of nursing and the health secretary steve barclay ended this evening with no sign of a breakthrough. the head of the rcn expressed deep disappointment at what she described as the belligerence of the government and accused ministers of having little to say. nurses are planning to walk out this thursday 15th, and also on december 20th. and ambulance staff have said they will strike on the 21st and 28th december.

0ur health editor hugh pym joins me now from st mary�*s, paddington, one of the hospitals set to be affected if the strikes go ahead. talk to us about the extent of the action and the likely impact. weill. action and the likely impact. well, most but not _ action and the likely impact. well, most but not all _ action and the likely impact. well, most but not all areas _ action and the likely impact. well, most but not all areas will - action and the likely impact. well, most but not all areas will be i most but not all areas will be affected. thursday when the royal nursing stage their first strikes it will be about a quarter of english health trusts which will be affected. in wales it will be all but one health board and all of the trust in northern ireland covered by the walk—outs. it looks as if they will go ahead with the failure of talks this evening. the key issue remains pay. the royal nursing are claiming for inflation plus 5%. at the time of the ballots that added up the time of the ballots that added up to i7%. it has gone higher because inflation has moved up but

the rcn say that they are ready to negotiate. west mr government made a pay award averaging a.75% for a of health workers saying they were following an independent review body recommendation. wales and northern ireland followed that. what about care? emergency care, the unions say, will continue as normal but there are local talks ongoing on how that walk. when it comes to planned appointments, there will be a lot of disruption with many postponements this thursday and thereafter. maw; this thursday and thereafter. many thanks, hugh _ this thursday and thereafter. many thanks. hugh pym- _ the chancellorjeremy hunt has warned the economic situation will get worse before it gets better, as official figures show the uk economy has slowed in all main sectors between august and october, shrinking by 0.3%. but the office for national

statistics says there was growth of 0.5% in the month of october, following the extra bank holiday for the state funeral of the late queen. 0ur economics editor faisal islam has more details. an edinburgh toy shop less than a fortnight before christmas. it�*s a window on families and an entire economy feeling the squeeze. most people are struggling. they have seen the costs go up, interest costs, fuel costs, food costs, and yet the wages haven�*t kept up, so everything is getting squeezed. i think although they will still buy a toy for a birthday or christmas, they might buy maybe a smaller toy. the cost of living is horendous. it is christmas, nobody wants kids to go without for christmas and the pressure is horrendous. it should be the peak period for consumer buying of the latest trend purchases, and even the chancellor acknowledges that inflation and the economy are for now heading in the wrong direction.

i don�*t know whether inflation has peaked or not, but i think it is likely to get worse before it gets better, this is a very very challenging situation. the story in the official numbers and from the chancellor of the exchequer is that this recessionary chill may get worse. and that will come as no surprise to those impacted by record energy prices, and facing further rises in interest rates later this week. and on top of that, there is this unprecedented wave of industrial unrest. and if that is to calm, the money will have to be found, here at the treasury. there is a genuine dilemma. 0n the one hand people are finding it very difficult not to have pay rises that match inflation. 0n the other hand, the government knows, we know as a country, if we are going to tackle inflation, we mustn�*t do anything that locks in high inflation rates for years to come. do you accept, though, that for a public sector worker

facing 10% rates of inflation, it is not militant to ask merely for their pay to match the current extraordinary rates of inflation? i accept it is a totally sincerely held position, and i think what we have to ask is what is the root cause of the anger that they feel. 0ur number one priority as the government is to tackle that high inflation that is causing this industrial unrest, that is causing the recession that we are talking about this morning. it is all happening at the same time — chill winds from the energy market, striking public sector workers, from squeezed consumers and now from the arctic too. it may be a wait until the freeze in the economy thaws. faisal islam, bbc news. 0ur political editor chris mason is at westminster. with this tidal wave of industrial action, where do ministers stand in their efforts to try and sort things

appetite to strike and that brings us to the most important people in this, ordinary people caught up with the impact of this. an operation cancelled, a nurse unavailable, a train not running. how public opinion is shaped by what is to come may yet determine how this is resolved. ., ~ may yet determine how this is resolved. ., ,, , ., , injersey, nine people are feared dead and a criminal investigation could be launched after a suspected gas explosion destroyed a block of flats in the capital st helier. police have released the names of seven of the victims, all aged between 63 and 73. an inquiry is under way into the actions of the fire service after residents apparently reported a gas leak less than eight hours before the blast. 0ur correspondent danjohnson reports from st helier. this morning, jersey stood in silence. to remember. to reflect.

there�*s so much for this island community to learn and to mourn. dan johnson, bbc news, jersey. netflix has released clips from the second half of the series on harry and meghan, in which meghan says she was "fed to the wolves" after she�*d joined the royal family. harry suggests his brother william was protected whereas he and meghan were never given that protection. to see this institutional gaslighting. .. i wasn't being thrown to the wolves, i was being fed to the wolves. they were actively recruiting people to disseminate disinformation. i they were happy to lie to protect my brother. they were never willing to tell the truth to protect us. 0ur royal correspondent nicholas witchell is here. these are just these arejust snippets. these are just snippets. is there any suggestion here that this second half of the series will be more controversial or more hard—hitting

to be and how determined he is to get his truth out there. in germany, parliamentarians have been holding private sessions to discuss whether gun laws need tightening to bolster national security. it follows the arrest of a group of far—right figures last week, accused of plotting to replace the german government. ministers said the group posed a "very real" danger, and that their plans were far—reaching. 0ur europe editor katya adler reports from bad lobenstein in eastern germany, where the plot was hatched. hidden in germany�*s rural east, this aristocratic hunting lodge was at the heart of a plot to storm the german parliament and take over the country. all before christmas. there it is, in the trees. ghostly silence, now. this was the scene here on wednesday. 0ne silence, now. this was the scene here on wednesday. one of the biggest security operations in
