the home office has won a legal challenge to its policy of sending some asylum seekers to rwanda. migrant charities and some of the people affected by the scheme had brought the claim, arguing that the east african nation wasn't safe. it was a mixed judgement for the government, as the home secretary suella braverman was ordered to re—examine eight individual cases. our home editor, mark easton, reports from the high court. refugees are welcome here! a small pro—refugee demonstration outside the high court marked the latest legal twist in the government's controversial plans to send asylum seekers to rwanda. this morning'sjudgment was handed down by lord justice lewis. he said... however, the court ruled against the home office when it came to the individual cases.

well, the home office will be pleased at the judgment there their rwanda policy is lawful, the policy's power as a deterrent is based on being to act swiftly, so the ruling that the home secretary did not properly considered any of the eight individual cases will be a concern for the government. in a statement, this morning, suella braverman said... it is expected there will be appeals following the judgment although a decision on whether they will be allowed won't be made until next month. we believe and our lawyers have told us that we probably do have grounds

to carry on fighting and we will carry on fighting. this is incredibly important. this is about our country's obligations to the most vulnerable people in the world. in april, then home secretary priti patel signed a deal with ruan dreyer in return for agreeing to take responsibility for some asylum seekers arriving in the uk, the east african country was given £120 million in aid money and the promise of extra cash for each migrant sent there. the first flight was scheduled forjune. 30 migrants were told they were being sent away but legal challenges saw the numbers dwindle to single figures and with an aircraft sitting on the tarmac ready for take—off, the european court of human rights made an interim ruling which led to the flight�*s cancellation. eight months after the deal, no one has yet been sent to ro under. last week's tragedy in the channel has reignited the public debate about how to deal with the issue of the small boats. more than 16,000 migrants have arrived this way this year

with the prime minister describing it as one of his top priorities. the home secretary said it was her dream to see a flight to rwanda take off before christmas but that won't happen for many weeks or months yet. a little earlier, we had this update from outside the high court. lawyers will now be going _ from outside the high court. lawyers will now be going through _ from outside the high court. lawyers will now be going through the - will now be going through the lengthyjudgment line by line to see if they can find grounds for appeal. that appeal decision won't be made until mid—january at the earliest. one can imagine this case will then go to the court of appeal. there will be another hearing there. and it is then possible at the end of that that there will be a further appeal to the supreme court. the idea that we are going to see flights to rwanda any time soon seems extremely unlikely and it may... i said at the end of my report, it could be weeks or months, it could be this time next year before we finally get a situation

where flights can leave for rwanda and take those migrants that the government wants to deport because the legal arguments will continue and not only about the general policy, but also about every individual that the home office tries to send that. the conservative mp for stoke—on—trent north told us that he was pleased with the ruling. obviously, i am was pleased with the ruling. obviously, iam pleased was pleased with the ruling. obviously, i am pleased with the court ruling because today it vindicates the vinification of people like myself, priti patel and the wider party, as well as the great british public, who overwhelmingly want us to take back control of our laws and our borders we are a compassionate country. we have seen that with ukraine, syria, afghanistan, hong kong and other nations around the world, but the influx of illegal migrants coming across the channel needs to end. it

is people putting their lives needlessly at risks. it is allowing people smugglers to make money off the back of human misery and it is unsustainable with the pressure on public services and i think this judgment will help bring it to an end, once we get flights to rwanda, a deterrent to people making that choice and to smash the operational model of these smuggling gangs will stop let's now speak to someone from a charity supporting refugees. thank ou to ou a charity supporting refugees. thank you to you for— a charity supporting refugees. thank you to you forjoining _ a charity supporting refugees. thank you to you forjoining us _ a charity supporting refugees. thank you to you forjoining us your- you to you forjoining us your response to the high court ruling. i think this is a dark moment for human rights in the uk. it is going to turn more parma —— families apart and put people who have already been through so much trauma, torture, put them in more danger, re—traumatise them, this is... our government is seeking to vilify some of the most vulnerable people in the world and i think it is really important that

truths are totally british public. in fact, these people, they are arriving here because they are seeking safety and sanctuary will stop there are no sacred legal routes, there has been a rolling back on safe routes around the world and that is why we have seen an increase was not if the government were to put energy into looking at how to improve those systems and create those systems, then we would be a completely different situation. i think the fact that... i'm sorry. you have made strong criticisms of the government, but the way things were, that was tested in court. and the core decided largely to say what the core decided largely to say what the government was doing, it said was ok. does this mean that you will have to change strategy, having lost the substance of a court decision? i think many cases change after an appeal and i know that our partners,

one of the organisations taking the case, and their lawyers will be looking carefully at the detailed judgment and they will be going through and seeing if there are grounds to appeal and i know they are absolutely committed to that and i think we will be continuing to fight in the legal way but also with the public and advocating for a system that prioritises human right. we are committed to fighting this. human right don'tjust exist on paper. they are something that we have to stand up for and we will continue to do that. find have to stand up for and we will continue to do that.— continue to do that. and others miaht continue to do that. and others might say _ continue to do that. and others might say they _ continue to do that. and others might say they are _ continue to do that. and others might say they are tested - continue to do that. and others might say they are tested in - continue to do that. and others i might say they are tested in court, as was tested today, and there was a ruling that on another subject, why is rwanda not a safe destination? to is rwanda not a safe destination? trr be honest, even if rwanda was not a country where people were being deported to, we would disagree with this as a scheme but there are

many... there are many things that were used in this appeal to say that rwanda is not a safe country, including their record on human right, including how people are treated when they arrive there, including job availability and the bottom line is there is absolutely nothing sensible about people being shipped to another country to have their asylum claim heard at the cost of the british public when that can be done here.— of the british public when that can be done here. thank you very much for “oininr be done here. thank you very much forjoining us- _ the health secretary has said unions must make sure there is enough cover to respond to life—threatening emergencies this week, when ambulance workers go out on strike. steve barclay said he was keen to continue dialogue — though the government has said it will be �*resolute' in dealing with pay demands. the leader of the country's largest health union has accused the government of being �*completely intransigent�* on the issue of pay. tomorrow nurses in some trusts in england, as well as in wales and northern ireland, are due take action for a second time. that's followed on wednesday by strikes by 10,000 ambulance and 999 staff in england

and wales — they're expected to strike again on 28th december. here's our political correspondent ben wright. if you call for an ambulance on wednesday, it may not come. paramedics will respond to life—threatening conditions but the walk—out by ambulance workers in england and wales will be the latest health service strike to impact patients. talks with the government are deadlocked. unions say ministers must move on pay. i can't even say how the talks have been going because there haven't been any talks and so i don't feel particularly optimistic. i am really sorry about it because i think this government is in serious danger of putting the public at risk by not doing what they should be doing to try to resolve the dispute. this morning, ministers met in westminster to discuss plans for handling the strike. they have said unions must ensure there is emergency cover and the military has already been

put on standby to help out. but there is no sign that government is ready to budge on the central question of pay. we have an independent process in terms of the pay review body. that is the right way we should look at these issues and that is what the government has done and we have accepted those recommendations in full. it is the trade unions that are not accepting the independent pay review process and not accepting those pay recommendations and i am keen that they do so so we can get the discussions on to the many other areas where we can work together. wednesday's strike by ambulance workers will follow a second walk—out by nurses tomorrow. what do we want? pay rise. how do we get it? strik. strike. unions have warned the dispute over pay and working conditions could stretch into next year if the government does not sit down and discuss pay. nurses want a settlement above inflation but ministers say that is unaffordable. the result? disruption to patients. it is worth remembering this is going to be an incredibly

challenging and disrupted week, not only because we have the ambulance service coming out on strike across nearly every region, as you said, but because we have the sequential strikes. these strikes reflect the strain and pressure is within the nhs. this morning, the mother of a child with cystic fibrosis made herfeelings clear to the minister in charge. these strikes reflect the strain and pressures within the nhs. this morning, the mother of a child with cystic fibrosis made herfeelings clear to the minister in charge. we were short of doctors, we were short of beds going into the pandemic so i think it is really wrong to blame it on the pandemic and actually, the damage that you are doing to families like myself is terrible. of all the strikes happening this winter, it is the disruption in the nhs putting most pressure on ministers and unions to find a fix. but so far, neither side seems ready to blink. ben wright, bbc news, westminster. the mother of a three—year—old girl with cystic fibrosis has rebuked steve barclay over nhs staff working conditions as he visited a london hospital. the health secretary was confronted by sarah pinnington—auld

when he met her and her daughter lucy during a visit to king's college university hospital in london earlier today. the level of care they provide is amazing that they are not being able to provide it in the way they want to provide it in the way they want to provided because the resourcing is not there. like i said, on monday, we were due to be in the number of peoples coming through the doors is too many and it is not fair to blame it on the pandemic because we have problems in the nhs before he went into the pandemic, we were short of doctors, we were short of beds, going into the pandemic, so i think it is really wrong to blame it on the pandemic and actually, the damage that you are doing to families like myself is terrible. because it was agony for us as a family, waiting for that call and preparing our children, for their sister, the hospital visit, for then it to be cancelled and there are

people waiting for care. and i think this problem with beds, a lot of it is the health and you have people who cannot get into health and they allocate —— taking up beds and until you prioritise that, we are not going to free up funds, we already have a limited number of beds and i want to reiterate the staff are absolute incredible. we are so lucky as a nation to have this nhs. in our 2012, olympic opening games, that is how proud we are of it, we are criticising it all the time and we are moving towards a privatised system like america, where the disparity in health service treats people as farce. and joining me now is our correspondent, sanchia berg. —— vast. there is great pressure on the amber and services at the

moment. the obvious one that we have seen reported many times is that people are having to wait far longer in ambulances to be handed over to the hospital and that is because of pressures within the hospital. when an ambulance crew might have been able to do many trips in a day, they find themselves sitting just doing two, three trips on a shift, as they are waiting for space to be cleared in the hospital. there are other pressures, for example while there is greater demand for amber lenses, thatis is greater demand for amber lenses, that is notjust in terms of numbers of calls, it is also the resources needed to attend to each call, that means people have more serious conditions when they are calling the ambiences and while there are more paramedics, and more of them are suffering sickness tablets —— absence because of the pressures of work, all of those are contributions to the pressures on the services. looking towards wednesday and i said just now, 10,000 ambulance workers may be going out on strike. what

kind of cover is being organised by the government. we will come to hospitals in a moment.— the government. we will come to hospitals in a moment. anyone who is -- whose life — hospitals in a moment. anyone who is -- whose life is _ hospitals in a moment. anyone who is -- whose life is at _ hospitals in a moment. anyone who is -- whose life is at immediate - hospitals in a moment. anyone who is -- whose life is at immediate threat l —— whose life is at immediate threat is considered category one and people in that condition should get an ambulance. but that is actually quite a limited group of people. for example, it covers a child having a life—threatening seizure, somebody having a heart attack but not necessary —— not a suspected heart attack. if it is very clear that somebody is a real mortal danger, then that is category one. if it is less clear, then it becomes category to and while there is a national agreement to cover all category one cases, there is not one for category two, in fact those are being negotiated trust by trust and we understand there is only one trust that has reached agreement so far, so we are facing a strike without at the moment those agreements in place because there is a lot of discussion

going on about what actually constitutes a category two. find constitutes a category two. and liven as constitutes a category two. and given as you — constitutes a category two. and given as you say _ constitutes a category two. and given as you say that the agreements are not in place in many areas, what is the sense of how hospitals are making preparations because two hospitals are trying to make preparations as best they can, for example making it easierfor preparations as best they can, for example making it easier for people to be handed over by emergency paramedics into the hospitals, so that the ambiences are not waiting so long, but they are worried for example, if people he disco to take a taxi or get themselves driven to the hospital, they are not going through the process of trying... nobody is able to assess them on the way. they arrive on the door... they are worried about the impact that might have as well, so we have to wait—and—see what happens and as i say, you can see that people are preparing, negotiations are under way, but it is only a couple of days away now. way, but it is only a couple of days away now-—

education in schools but also teacher training on what is anti—semitism and how to deal with it is needed and it should be no big deal to do. we are talking about very complex levels of training. just basic levels of understanding and getting that into the school system, that is an optional top priority. one thing that has not been done in this country that could have been done over the last decade. why is it not already in the school system? i why is it not already in the school s stem? ., �* ~' why is it not already in the school s stem? ., �* ,, , ., system? i don't think people have seen it, i have _ system? i don't think people have seen it, i have not _ system? i don't think people have seen it, i have not seen, - system? i don't think people have seen it, i have not seen, as- system? i don't think people have seen it, i have not seen, as an - seen it, i have not seen, as an issue before. it has not been reported as an issue before. in the last 12 months, far more reports of it. the work we have got from the academics highlighting it, i think that people have kept quiet in the past but now, they are more worried and they are speaking out but certainly, a lot of parents who have spoken to me had not reported or complained to the school or any other authority about it but they

are worried, but they did not want to draw attention to their child, maybe a 12—year—old child lets say in a secondary school, because of the potential additional negative impact that would create. education in schools, schools knowing how to do it, is needed. they should be straightforward. i am asking the government —— i am not asking for a load of money to do this, it is more changing what is being done, little bit of time and attention given to it but doing it methodically across the whole of the country in all our secondary schools.— the whole of the country in all our secondary schools. when you say that our time and — secondary schools. when you say that our time and attention, _ secondary schools. when you say that our time and attention, would - secondary schools. when you say that our time and attention, would that. our time and attention, would that be a special lesson question market might be a lesson.— be a special lesson question market might be a lesson. what we are doing is what i might be a lesson. what we are doing is what i have — might be a lesson. what we are doing is what i have initiated _ might be a lesson. what we are doing is what i have initiated in _ might be a lesson. what we are doing is what i have initiated in the - is what i have initiated in the north of england and with the institute of education at the national holocaust centre, we are looking at the next 12 months, we have started the work on what will succeed, how much time is needed, where it is needed. and the remit

that person could be major. the school needs an approach to it, as they would with any kind of intimidation or bullying or racism. individual pupils, small groups, need protection. schools need to know how to do it and what the experts at the institute of education found when they have been teaching teachers about the holocaust is an increasing number of teachers who were not sure what to do. that more than anything convinced me that we needed this kind of project that we now have under way but also that we have a system across the country. it is not happening... it has not happened. some teachers and schools deal with it very well but it is clear because they are telling us that not all teachers and schools do know how to deal with it and we need to ensure that there is something comprehensive so that wherever you are in the country, there is that protection and also, so this scourge of anti—semitism is not so trading

the night and much of the early hours of the morning belong to argentina. fans who travelled thousands of miles and spent thousands of miles and spent thousand more were rewarded with a priceless moment. qatar 2022 was also celebrated in style in the argentine summer sun, the capital buenos aires a sea of blue—and—white. so often, lionel messi has been prepared to his country's other iconic number ten. he has now matched diego maradona's exploits of 1986. when argentina was shocked by a defeat to saudi arabia in their opening game it's about the question, where is messi? we now have the answer, on top of the world. sticking with football. vivianne miedema says she's �*absolutely gutted' after rupturing an anterior cruciate ligament during arsenal women's champions league defeat to lyon on thursday. the gunner's top scorer will undergo

surgery in the coming days. she posted on social media about the injury and is expected to be out for a number of months. she's the latest arsenal player to be sidelined with a ruptured acl after england forward beth mead sustained the same injury in november. england are on the verge of victory in the third test against pakistan, after a fantastic five—wicket haul from 18 year old rehan ahmed. ahmed is making his debut as the youngest man to play a test for england and helped to bowl out pakistan for 216 in their second innings. in the chase ben duckett scored 50 not out from just 38 balls to continue his excellent tour. england will start day 4 needing just 55 to seal a historic series victory. that's all the sport for now. back to you. thank you so much.

let's return to that world cup final as lionel messi achieves his world cup dream with argentina's win in a historic penatly shootout. which i watched from behind my fingers. he can now add the world cup to seven ballons d'or, four champions leagues, one copa america, 10 la liga titles with barcelona and a ligue 1 crown in france with paris st—germain. and a partridge in a pear tree. let's speak to seba ongarelli, sport journalist currently in argentinian's capital buenos aires. thank you forjoining us. when you woke up, if you had some sleep. did you think, is that all a dream? goad you think, is that all a dream? good afternoon. you think, is that all a dream? good afternoon- it — you think, is that all a dream? good afternoon. it is _ you think, is that all a dream? good afternoon. it is a _ you think, is that all a dream? good afternoon. it is a dream _ you think, is that all a dream? good afternoon. it is a dream come - you think, is that all a dream?

in the sun that he loathed the duchess of sussex �*on a cellular level�*. writing on twitter he said that he would be more careful in the future. let�*s get more on this with our arts and media correspondent david sillito. what did he say on twitterjust now? oh dear, i have rather put my foot in it. he said, it was a clumsy reference to game of thrones, the tv series, it is gone down badly. he is horrified there is so much hurt, i will be more careful in the future. whether or not that sway just the response to the article. let�*s go back to what he actually wrote. this was about the duchess of sussex, meghan markle. he said he hated her on a cellular level. he said i lie there grinding my teeth, dreaming of there grinding my teeth, dreaming of the day that she has made to parade naked through the streets of every town in britain and lumps of excrement are thrown at her. 6000 people have complained to ips so,

the independent press regulator. to give you some context to how many letters. in 2021 the total number of complaints was just over 14,000, so you are seeing the level of response that there was. his own family, his daughter, emily clarkson said that she stands against everything my dad wrote about meghan markle. she said, i have been clear about everything when it comes to misogyny, bullying and the treatment of women by the media. of course, we have to put in the context of the harry and megan documentary. six hours on netflix, cataloguing the treatment that they have endured from the media, what they say it�*s unfair and often discriminatory and misogynistic. jeremy clarkson has now said that he was referring to game of thrones. that wasn�*t immediately obvious to me, not having watched a game of thrones. is there a very clear dividing line between incitement to hate speech into violence and

figurative speech online? the issue here is there _ figurative speech online? the issue here is there are _ figurative speech online? the issue here is there are two _ figurative speech online? the issue here is there are two problems, - figurative speech online? the issue l here is there are two problems, does it break guidelines? and that is very clearly about matters of accuracy, harassment. being a journalist being on your doorstep, not going away. and also discrimination. is it racially discriminatory? so there is an element there. but there is no clear adjudication saying, is this an unpopular opinion, is it an unpleasant opinion, are we going to fight against it? that is not in the editor�*s code. ipso could bring a fine if it has broken the editor�*s code but the number brought in its years of existence so far are zero. thank you so much forjoining us in the studio. there is some breaking news in the last few minutes it

comes from some copy delivered to me by a colleague. it says, the government is to sue ppe meant pro, a firm that supplied it with medical equipment. ppe medpro won contracts after being recommended by... more on that later. legislation is to be introduced to require public venues and local authorities to have plans in place to prevent terrorist attacks. the new rules will be called martyn�*s law — named after martyn hett, one of the 22 people killed in the manchester arena bombing. here�*s robin brant. 29—year—old martyn hett was among 22 people who were killed in the manchester arena attack. since then, his mum has campaigned for change. change to prevent more attacks, and change to make sure venues, business and local authorities are better prepared to deal with terrorism.

the legislation will be offered as a two tier system. where there may be warmer done. but they have the infrastructure there, they have the knowledge and the facilities to do that. and at the end of the day, that. and at the end of the day, that would then apply for over 650,000 small and medium—sized locations. me 650,000 small and medium-sized locations. ~ ., , , ., , locations. we will observe a minutes silence to remember _ locations. we will observe a minutes silence to remember those - locations. we will observe a minutes silence to remember those who - locations. we will observe a minutes| silence to remember those who were killed _ silence to remember those who were killed in_ silence to remember those who were killed in the — silence to remember those who were killed in the arena attack. the inquiry into the attack has exposed, in harrowing detail, the failings on that night. there were significant failings by a number of organisations in preparation and training for an emergency such as this and in their actions on the night of the attack. after a long, drawn—out process, the government has now confirmed a draught law will be published in the early spring. smaller venues holding fewer than 100 people will have to be better prepared, with training on simple measures like locking doors and first aid.

bigger venues holding more than 800 people, like the manchester arena, will need staff to be more vigilant, and systems to allow better consideration of security. industry bodies have welcomed the plan but have raised some concerns about extra cost and staffing. the cost inflation _ about extra cost and staffing. the cost inflation at _ about extra cost and staffing. iie: cost inflation at the about extra cost and staffing. tie: cost inflation at the moment, about extra cost and staffing. ti2 cost inflation at the moment, we have to be conscious about some of these businesses and their financial position. some of the bigger spaces are already working towards making sure they are compliant. as you can appreciate, we cannot be completely compliant until we have the full details. robin brant, bbc news. an inquest has heard that four boys who fell into an icy lake in kingshurst near solihull last week died from drowning. brothers finlay butler, who was eight, and six—year—old samuel, their 11—year—old cousin thomas stewart and jackjohnson, who was 10, fell into babb�*s mill lake last sunday. bob hockenhull was in court. today�*s inquest heard

that all four boys died from drowning, so no postmortem examinations had been carried out to preserve their dignity. the hearing was told it was 2:34pm on sunday 11th december when emergency services received the first call reporting that four children playing on the frozen lake had fallen into the water. there were further calls from the public with varying accounts as to how many children had fallen in. three of the boys were pulled out 22 minutes after the first call was received, the fourth boy was pulled out of the water nine minutes later. detective inspectorjim edmonds told the inquest that there were heroic efforts by the emergency services to resuscitate the boys at the scene. they all died in hospital. the tragedy is now the subject of a major police investigation, and that will report its findings at the full inquest, which is to take place

on july the 6th next year. birmingham and sollihull coroner louise hunt offered her sincere condolences to the families. she said, it was a devastating tragedy and difficult to comprehend the pain and grief they were feeling. she said she hoped next year�*s full inquest will help the families to understand exactly what had happened. a new deal to protect nature has been agreed as a biodiversity summit. the plan put 30% of the planet under protection by the end of the decade. there will also be plans to safeguard ecosystem such as rain forest and wetland. our correspondent reports as the deal was finalised in the early hours of the morning. this was the moment the world agreed the significant new deal to protect nature. translation: i do not see objection

it is agreed. the agreement included stopping the alarming decline of the natural world. they include protecting 30% of the land and oceans by 2030. targets to prevent the extinction of species and there is also an agreement on funding to help developing nations. the objective is to protect dire diversity —— biodiversity to protect the speeches that constitute the web of life on earth. the the speeches that constitute the web of life on earth.— of life on earth. the biggest creature that _ of life on earth. the biggest creature that exists - of life on earth. the biggest creature that exists on - of life on earth. the biggest creature that exists on the i of life on earth. the biggest - creature that exists on the planet. if you imagine a spider�*s web, the more strands that you have, the more connections you have, the more interplay. if you cut one of those strands the whole thing don�*t collapse, all of the strands support each other. and that is what people don�*t realise, when you start cutting those strands you don�*t really notice it and then suddenly they will collapse. the

really notice it and then suddenly they will collapse.— really notice it and then suddenly they will collapse. the problem is this that we _ they will collapse. the problem is this that we are _ they will collapse. the problem is this that we are destroying - they will collapse. the problem is this that we are destroying that i they will collapse. the problem is i this that we are destroying that web of life faster than ever before. this is one of the most famous victims of the rise of humanity a dodo here at the natural history museum. the last one died more than hundred and 50 years ago. but the un says more than1 million hundred and 50 years ago. but the un says more than 1 million species are at the risk of extension. just look at the risk of extension. just look at how global wildlife population have declined. down by more than two thirds since 1970. me have declined. down by more than two thirds since 1970.— thirds since 1970. we now have a beautiful nature _ thirds since 1970. we now have a beautiful nature that _ thirds since 1970. we now have a beautiful nature that has - thirds since 1970. we now have a beautiful nature that has a - thirds since 1970. we now have a i beautiful nature that has a mission to stop the loss of biodiversity by 2030. that is the exact mission that we need. we cannot lose any more nature we need to halt the loss of nature we need to halt the loss of nature by 2030.— nature we need to halt the loss of nature by 2030. critics say the deal could have been _ nature by 2030. critics say the deal could have been more _ nature by 2030. critics say the deal could have been more ambitious i nature by 2030. critics say the deal. could have been more ambitious and had clearer timelines for nations to deliver on the targets. but the consensus is, this agreement is far better than no deal at all.

family and friends are gathering in melrose today to celebrate the life of doddie weir. the former scotland international died last month at the age of 52, six years after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease. our sports news correspondent chris mclaughlin reports from melrose. you can probablyjust about hear the service being relayed to the towns in rugby club in front of me and hundreds gathered under a small stand. others huddled under umbrellas on a wet and windy day here in the scottish borders. not dull because everywhere you look, everyone is decked out in tartan. that was the request of doddie weir�*s family and there was a private family funeraljust over a week ago today and in the towel that love doddie weir in the town he called home and this was their chance to celebrate his life.

450 people in the church behind me, including the likes of scott and gavin hastings, scotland rugby legends of course and martinjohnson the former england captain in there as well, as well as the olympian sir chris hoy. all here to celebrate a man who meant so much to so many. £8 million already raised in the fight against motor neurone disease, the disease that ultimately took doddie weir�*s life last month. rob wainwright his former scotland team—mate cycled here from perth, determined he says to keep that charity legacy alive and he says that basically because even though doddie weir may not be here, his charity work will very much go on. chris mclaughlin reporting. more than 130 bus companies in england are to cap single adult fares at £2 — as part of a government—funded scheme to help with the cost of living.

national express and stagecoach will be among those to introduce the cap, which will apply outside the capital for the first three months of next year. labour has described the policy as a half measure after years of soaring fares. the policy has already been rolled out in greater manchester. it�*s mayor, andy burham, explained how the bus companies could afford to carry the £2 cap out in the long—term. obviously this is being done with government help and i would say that�*s exactly what should be done on a long—term basis because pretty much every country in the world provides subsidy for buses to make sure that they are affordable to people and if you look around the world, actually, people are bringing down the cost of public transport. in germany, they have introduced a 49 euro rail pass for a month where people can have unlimited regional rail travel and i think this reflects the fact that we need more people to use public transport from a climate perspective but also it helps from an economic perspective as well in terms of getting people back to work. it�*s a policy that makes sense on every level and i would just

like to see the government commit to doing it permanently. like many european countries, the netherlands has a history which involved both colonialism and slavery. more than 600,000 people — mostly from africa and asia — were trafficked by dutch merchants between the 17th and 19th centuries. the dutch prime minister will publicly apologize for what happened but some campaigners say that merely confronting the events of the past is an insufficient gesture for the descendants of slaves living in the netherlands today. anna holligan reports. generations have been waiting to hear this word, but the dutch government�*s approach to saying sorry for slavery has reignited a sense of exclusion and distrust. the question you have to talk about, slavery, with people from the destination and people here, and we don�*t

accept. 19 december. instead, many within the affected communities want an apology scheduled for 1 july next year, to tie in with what will be the 160th anniversary of the dutch emancipation act. within dutch society, support for a formal apology has been growing, with 38% of people now in favour. but almost half the population is still opposed. one far—right leader told me his party doesn�*t believe in such gestures. quincy gario argues it�*s essential to come together to understand the realities and impact of the past. even the cheesemonger on the street corner was getting paid with funds from colonial winnings. so everyone in our infrastructure and the way of living and our comfort here is directly linked to that abuse and extraction elsewhere.

how exactly do you heal and how do you repair the... not just the psychic terror of the past, but also the material inequalities that have come from that? words are fine, but what are actions? well, according to various leaks, the dutch government�*s apology for slavery won�*t result in immediate or individual reparations for the descendants of the enslaved people. instead, 200 million euros will be invested in awareness—raising projects and another 27 million dedicated to a new museum designed to highlight and explore this darker side of dutch history. it�*s been a busy time for linda nooitmeer. she has been involved in the negotiations with the government. slavery is a crime against humanity, and we acknowledge that people of african descent didn't get the chance to evolve themselves as they should. and from 20 december we can work together to fight against everything that is about racism,

and it gives me hope that we can do this in this country. formal apologies don�*t always lead to acceptance or acknowledgement, and in this already polarised society, there are fears of a backlash from those who wish to whitewash and glorify this history. with other countries currently considering their colonial pasts, an official apology from the dutch may encourage other nations to recognise and make efforts to remedy historic and contemporary inequalities in a meaningful way. anna holligan, bbc news, amsterdam. now it�*s time for a look at the weather with darren. hello there. the brisk south—westerly winds are brought a lot of cloud around today and some more rain as well, but very mild air. even in scotland, temperatures this evening are going to be in double figures,

12 or 13 further south and it�*s further south that will see some rain developing once again and pushing its way eastwards across england and wales to the north. we�*re going to find some clearer skies after the earlier rain before we see blustery showers arriving in the far northwest. so quite a range of temperatures tonight. could be a bit chilly where we have the clearer skies and lighter winds, but where we keep that rain across eastern england by the morning, temperatures still in double figures. that rain should move away, though, fairly quickly. and we�*ll see the cloud breaking and sunshine across more of the country tomorrow. a few showers coming in on that breeze. most of the showers in the northwest where it�*s going to be windy. the showers in northwest scotland, heavy and maybe even wintry over the high ground. still a mild day, just not quite as mild as it�*s been today out in the central belt of scotland, ten in the midlands. but those sort of temperatures and wet weather continues into wednesday.

jeremy clarkson says he is horrified to have caused so much hurt after facing a backlash over comments he made in a newspaper column about how he hated meghan markle, the duchess of sussex family and friends gathered in scotland to celebrate the life of rugby legend doddie weir. he died last month after a long diagnosis with motoneuron disease. and finally for argentina and lionel messi, a world cup victory after that nail—biting defeat of france in the world cup final. the first time they have lifted the famous trophy since maradona did so in 1986. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. the home office has won a legal

challenge to its policy of sending some asylum seekers to rwanda. migrant charities and some of the people affected by the scheme had brought the claim, arguing that the east african nation wasn�*t safe. it was a mixed judgement for the government, as the home secretary suella braverman was ordered to re—examine 8 individual cases. our home editor, mark easton, reports from the high court. refugees are welcome here! a small pro—refugee demonstration outside the high court marked the latest legal twist in the government�*s controversial plans to send asylum seekers to rwanda. this morning�*sjudgment was handed down by lord justice lewis. he said... however, the court ruled against the home office when it came to the individual cases.

well, the home office will be pleased at the judgment there their rwanda policy is lawful, the policy�*s power as a deterrent is based on being to act swiftly, so the ruling that the home secretary did not properly considered any of the eight individual cases will be a concern for the government. in a statement, this morning, suella braverman said... it is expected there will be appeals following the judgment although a decision on whether they will be allowed won�*t be made until next month. we believe and our lawyers have told us that we probably do have grounds to carry on fighting and we will carry on fighting.

this is incredibly important. it is expected there will be appeals following the judgment although a decision on whether they will be allowed this is about our country�*s obligations to the most vulnerable people in the world. this is about our country�*s obligations to the most vulnerable in april, then home secretary priti patel signed a deal with ruan dreyer in return for agreeing to take responsibility for some asylum seekers arriving in the uk, the east african country was given £120 million in aid money and the promise of extra cash for each migrant sent there. the first flight was scheduled forjune. 30 migrants were told they were being sent away but legal challenges saw the numbers dwindle to single figures and with an aircraft sitting on the tarmac ready for take—off, the european court of human rights made an interim ruling which led to the flight�*s cancellation. eight months after the deal, no one has yet been sent to rwanda. last week�*s tragedy in the channel has reignited the public debate about how to deal with the issue of the small boats. more than 45,000 migrants have arrived this way this year with the prime minister describing it as one of his top priorities. the home secretary said it was her dream to see a flight

to rwanda take off before christmas but that won�*t happen for many weeks or months yet. and mark easton gave this update from outside the high court a little earlier. lawyers will now be going through the lengthyjudgment line by line to see if they can find grounds for appeal. that appeal decision won�*t be made until mid—january at the earliest. one can imagine this case will then go to the court of appeal. there will be another hearing there. and it is then possible at the end of that that there will be a further appeal to the supreme court. the idea that we are going to see flights to rwanda any time soon seems extremely unlikely and it may... i said at the end of my report, it could be weeks or months, it could be this time next year before we finally get a situation where flights can leave for rwanda and take those migrants that the government wants to deport because

the legal arguments will continue and not only about the general policy, but also about every individual that the home office tries to send that. jonathan gullis, the conservative mp for stoke—on—trent north, told radio 4�*s world at one he�*s "pleased about today�*s court ruling" on the rwanda migrant policy. obviously, i am pleased with the court ruling because today it vindicates the vinification of people like myself, priti patel and the wider party, as well as the great british public, who overwhelmingly want us to take back control of our laws and our borders we are a compassionate country. we have seen that with ukraine, syria, afghanistan, hong kong and other nations around the world, but the

influx of illegal migrants coming across the channel needs to end. it is people putting their lives needlessly at risks. it is allowing people smugglers to make money off the back of human misery and it is unsustainable with the pressure on public services and i think this judgment will help bring it to an end, once we get flights to rwanda, a deterrent to people making that choice and to smash the operational model of these smuggling gangs. a little earlier, i spoke tojosie naughton from the charity choose love, which helps refugees. she gave me her response to the high court ruling. i think this is a dark moment for human rights in the uk. it is going to tear more families apart and put people who have already been through so much trauma, torture, put them in more danger, re—traumatise them, this is... our government is seeking to vilify some of the most vulnerable people in the world and i think it is really important that truths are told to the british public. in fact, these people, they are arriving here because they are seeking safety and sanctuary will stop there are no

sacred legal routes, there has been a rolling back on safe routes around the world and that is why we have seen an increase. if the government were to put energy into looking at how to improve those systems and create those systems, then we would be a completely different situation. i think the fact that... i�*m sorry. you have made strong criticisms of the government, but the way things were, that was tested in court. and the core decided largely to say what the government was doing, it said was ok. does this mean that you will have to change strategy, having lost the substance of a court decision? i think many cases change after an appeal and i know that our partners, one of the organisations taking the case, and their lawyers will be looking carefully at the detailed judgment and they will be going through and seeing if there are grounds to appeal and i know they are absolutely

committed to that and i think we will be continuing to fight in the legal way but also with the public and advocating for a system that prioritises human right. we are committed to fighting this. human rights don�*t just exist on paper. they are something that we have to stand up for and we will continue to do that. and others might say they are tested in court, as was tested today, and there was a ruling that on another subject, why is rwanda not a safe destination? to be honest, even if rwanda was not a country where people were being deported to, we would disagree with this as a scheme but there are many... there are many things that were used in this appeal to say that rwanda is not a safe country, including their record on human right, including how people are treated when they arrive there,

including job availability and the bottom line is there is absolutely nothing sensible about people being shipped to another country to have their asylum claim heard at the cost of the british public when that can be done here. the health secretary has said unions must make sure there is enough cover to respond to life—threatening emergencies this week, when ambulance workers go out on strike. steve barclay said he was keen to continue dialogue, though the government has said it will be �*resolute�* in dealing with pay demands. the leader of the country�*s largest health union has accused the government of being �*completely intransigent�* on the issue of pay. tomorrow nurses in some trusts in england, as well as in wales and northern ireland, are due take action for a second time. that�*s followed on wednesday with strikes by 10,000 ambulance and 999 staff in england and wales — they�*re expected to strike again on 28th december. here�*s our political

correspondent, ben wright. if you call for an ambulance on wednesday, it may not come. paramedics will respond to life—threatening conditions but the walk—out by ambulance workers in england and wales will be the latest health service strike to impact patients. talks with the government are deadlocked. unions say ministers must move on pay. i can�*t even say how the talks have been going because there haven�*t been any talks and so i don�*t feel particularly optimistic. i am really sorry about it because i think this government is in serious danger of putting the public at risk by not doing what they should be doing to try to resolve the dispute. this morning, ministers met in westminster to discuss plans for handling the strike. they have said unions must ensure there is emergency cover and the military has already been put on standby to help out. but there is no sign that government is ready to budge on the central question of pay.

we have an independent process in terms of the pay review body. that is the right way we should look at these issues and that is what the government has done and we have accepted those recommendations in full. it is the trade unions that are not accepting the independent pay review process and not accepting those pay recommendations and i am keen that they do so so we can get the discussions on to the many other areas where we can work together. wednesday�*s strike by ambulance workers will follow a second walk—out by nurses tomorrow. what do we want? pay rise. how do we get it? strike. unions have warned the dispute over pay and working conditions could stretch into next year if the government does not sit down and discuss pay. nurses want a settlement above inflation but ministers say that is unaffordable. the result? disruption to patients. it is worth remembering this is going to be an incredibly challenging and disrupted week, not only because we have the ambulance service coming out on strike across nearly every region, as you said, but because we have the sequential strikes.

these strikes reflect the strain and pressure is within the nhs. this morning, the mother of a child with cystic fibrosis made herfeelings clear to the minister in charge. these strikes reflect the strain and pressures within the nhs. this morning, the mother of a child with cystic fibrosis made herfeelings clear to the minister in charge. we were short of doctors, we were short of beds going into the pandemic so i think it is really wrong to blame it on the pandemic and actually, the damage that you are doing to families like myself is terrible. of all the strikes happening this winter, it is the disruption in the nhs putting most pressure on ministers and unions to find a fix. but so far, neither side seems ready to blink. ben wright, bbc news, westminster. the mother of a three—year—old girl with cystic fibrosis has rebuked steve barclay over nhs staff working conditions as he visited a london hospital. the health secretary was confronted by sarah pinnington—auld when he met her and her daughter lucy during a visit to king�*s college university hospital

in london earlier today. the level of care they have provided is amazing, but they are not being able to provide it in a way that they want to provide it because the resourcing is not there, you know. like i said, on monday, we were due to be in and the number of people coming through the door is too many and it is not fair to blame it on the pandemic any more, is it? because actually, we had problems in the nhs before we went into the pandemic. we were short of doctors. we were short of beds going into the pandemic. i think it is really wrong to blame it on the pandemic and actually, the damage you are doing to families like myself is terrible. because it was agony for us as a family, waiting for that call and preparing our children, for then it to be cancelled and people are waiting for care. and i think this problem with beds,

a lot of it is the whole health and social care thing, isn�*t it? we have people that cannot get into health and social care and are taking a beds and until you as a government prioritise health and social care, we are not going to free up the already limited number of beds. i want to reiterate, the staff are absolutely incredible. we are so lucky as a nation to have this nhs. in our 2012 olympic games opening ceremony, that is how proud we are of it and i feel like we are moving towards a privatised system like america, where the disparity in the health service between rich and poor is vast. earlier i spoke toour correspondent, sanchia berg, who explained how much pressure health services are under at the moment. there is great pressure on the

ambulance services at the moment. when an ambulance crew might have been able to do many trips in a day, they find themselves sitting, just doing two or three on a shift because they are waiting for space to be cleared up in the hospital but there are other pressures. for example, there is greater demand for ambulances but that is notjust in terms of the number of calls, it is also in the resources needed to attend to each: that means people have more serious condition when they are calling the ambiences and while there are more paramedics and more of them are suffering sickness absence because of the pressures they say they work. all of those are contributions to the pressures on the services. contributions to the pressures on the services-— contributions to the pressures on the services. and looking towards wednesday _ the services. and looking towards wednesday and _ the services. and looking towards wednesday and as _ the services. and looking towards wednesday and as i _ the services. and looking towards wednesday and as i said - the services. and looking towards wednesday and as i said just - the services. and looking towards| wednesday and as i said just now, 10,000 ambulance workers going out on strike, what kind of cover is being organised by the government?

anyone who is... whose life is at immediate threat is considered what is called category one. people in that condition should get an ambulance but that is actually quite ambulance but that is actually quite a limited group of people. for example, each others —— covers a child having a life—threatening seizure, it covers somebody having a heart attack but not a suspected heart attack but not a suspected heart attack, so if it is very clear that somebody is in real mortal danger, then that is category one, if it is less clear, then it becomes category two. and while there is a national agreement to cover all category one cases, there is not one for category two. in fact, those are being negotiated trust by trust and we understand there is only one trust that has reached agreement so far, so we are facing a strike without at the moment those agreements in place because there is agreements in place because there is a lot of discussion going on about what constitutes a category two. given that you say many agreements

are not in place in many areas, however hospital is making preparations?— however hospital is making preparations? however hospital is making --rearations? ., , ., preparations? hospitals we have heard are trying _ preparations? hospitals we have heard are trying to _ preparations? hospitals we have heard are trying to make - heard are trying to make preparations as best they can, for example making it easierfor preparations as best they can, for example making it easier for people to be handed over by emergency paramedics into the hospital, so that ambulances are not waiting so long, but they are worried for example if people heed this call to take a taxi or to get themselves driven to the hospital, they are not going through the process of triad that comes with an ambulance. nobody is able to assess them on the way. who can do it for you? they are worried about the impact that might have as well. we have to wait and see what happens and as i say, you can see that people are preparing, negotiations are under way but it is only a couple of days away now. an inquest has heard that four boys who fell into an icy lake in kingshurst near solihull last week died from drowning. brothers finlay butler,

who was eight, and six—year—old samuel, their 11 —year—old cousin thomas stewart and jackjohnson, who was 10, fell into babb�*s mill lake last sunday. bob hockenhull was in court. today�*s inquest heard that all four boys died from drowning, so no postmortem examinations had been carried out to preserve their dignity. the hearing was told it was 2:34pm on sunday 11th december when emergency services received the first call reporting that four children playing on the frozen lake had fallen into the water. there were further calls from the public with varying accounts as to how many children had fallen in. three of the boys were pulled out 22 minutes after the first call was received, the fourth boy was pulled out of the water nine minutes later. detective inspectorjim edmonds told the inquest that there were heroic efforts by the emergency services to resuscitate the boys at the scene. they all died in hospital. the tragedy is now the subject

of a major police investigation, and that will report its findings at the full inquest, which is to take place on july the 6th next year. birmingham and sollihull coroner louise hunt offered her sincere condolences to the families. she said, it was a devastating tragedy and difficult to comprehend the pain and grief they were feeling. she said she hoped next year�*s full inquest will help the families to understand exactly what had happened. a 52—year—old man has appeared before magistrates charged with murdering a nurse and her two young children in kettering. saju chelavale was remanded in custody. jon ironmonger was at the hearing in wellingborough. saju chelavale is accused of murdering anju asok,

an nhs nurse, who was 35 her son, jeeva saju, who was six, and her daughter, janvi saju, was four. they were found with serious injuries at an address at petherton court in kettering on thursday and died a short time afterwards. postmortem examinations that were carried out revealed they had died as a result of asphyxiation. saju chelavale was arrested at the scene and appeared before magistrates in wellingborough this morning. wearing spectacles and a grey custody tracksuit, he stood and confirmed his age, name and address. when asked if he had understood everything, he replied yes. the magistrate has remanded him into custody ahead of an appearance at the crown court in northampton on wednesday. the dutch prime minister mark rutte has apologised for the role that the netherlands had in slavery. mr rutte also said that slavery must be recognised in "the clearest terms" as "a crime against humanity". he said slavery caused — as he put it — �*untold suffering

for untold numbers of people, which continued in the lives of people today�*. our correspondent — anna holligan is in the hague. how important is this apology? it is hu:el how important is this apology? it 3 hugely symbolic, historic moment, and he went much further than many people had anticipated. he said the silence had gone on for too long, that the system was painful, ugly and downright embarrassing. he made this speech inside the national archives, he said you cannot ignore the facts and actually he went into some of those numbers, striking figures, by 1814, more than 600,000 people in africa had been enslaved, ship in deplorable conditions by dutch slave traders, wrenched from their families, dutch slave traders, wrenched from theirfamilies, he said was not in asia, after a million people were traded by the dutch east india company. unimaginable numbers. he

pointed out and really highlighted the cruelty of this slavery system for all of this mandated by the dutch state, which is why he has made this apology today. we played in an accident _ made this apology today. we played in an accident -- _ made this apology today. we played in an accident -- excellent - made this apology today. we played in an accident -- excellent report i in an accident —— excellent report of yours in the last hour but what did you find in your own investigation? i did you find in your own investigation?— did you find in your own investigation? did you find in your own investiration? ., , ., investigation? i found 'ust how sensitive and i investigation? i found 'ust how sensitive and howi investigation? i found 'ust how sensitive and how rawi investigation? i found just how sensitive and how raw this i investigation? i found just how. sensitive and how raw this issue investigation? i found just how- sensitive and how raw this issue is and how there is not really one veal, even within the affected communities, so i spoke to so many descendants of enslaved people, who live in the netherlands and even within the group of people i spoke to, one antiracism campaign —— activist says there is no point in an apology without meaningful actions and i havejust an apology without meaningful actions and i have just checked an apology without meaningful actions and i havejust checked on an apology without meaningful actions and i have just checked on a government website and 200 million euros will be dedicated to awareness raising projects. other people for example, a dj on one of the radio

stations in the netherlands, that went to court to try and stop this apology from going ahead on the 19th of december, because they said this is a random date, it does not mean anything to us was not they wanted it to be on the 1st ofjuly 2023, marking the 160th anniversary of the and —— emancipation act, when the shackles were released. and they said this has echoes of colonialism, the way this whole apology has been conducted, they have not listened to us and therefore, it does not mean anything to us. and there were others, a woman called linda, his —— her name was given to her by her as —— ancestors, and she says, to recognise the past, to recognise that these were crimes against humanity conducted by the dutch will help to redress the imbalance in society and create a more level playing field for the children of these enslaved people any children and that was actually something

acknowledged today, centuries of x —— oppression and expectation still have an effect today in racist stereotypes and to break those patterns, we have to face up to these realities of the past openly and honestly had actually, next year, 1st ofjuly 2023, the king will be present at those commemorations, so he may also offer an apology then, this is coming at a time when so many other countries are considering their colonial legacies and they may encourage other nations to take similar steps. thank you so much forjoining us. the owner of the social media platorm twitter elon musk could be stepping down as the company�*s chief executive. musk asked his 122 million twitter followers to vote on whether he should resign, saying he would respect the outcome. the poll closed this morning, and more than 57%

said he should leave. let�*s get more on this from kate duffy, who�*s a reporter at business insider. we have got the poll result but how does it work? if he leaves ad cout -- ceo, he does it work? if he leaves ad cout —— ceo, he is still the owner of the and would still be the final decision—maker, so would it matter? it has been seven and a half weeks since elon musk took over twitter and the poll yesterday already suggests that he might be planning to step down as ceo. he clarified early this morning that he does not have a successor if he does step down, he also said that it is important for twitter to find a leader who is able to keep twitter alive, so to speak. but there are no obvious candidate at the moment. there is also a limited number of twitter staff with the right level of experience who could take over this role because he has lost thousands of employees, including top executives through firings,

resignations and lay—offs. and that could present another issue. the big question is, who would be willing to take over elon musk if he decides to step down as head of twitter? what step down as head of twitter? what can ou step down as head of twitter? what can you deduce _ step down as head of twitter? what can you deduce is _ step down as head of twitter? what can you deduce is his _ step down as head of twitter? what can you deduce is his overall strategy for twitter, based on the evidence of the last seven weeks? we are evidence of the last seven weeks? - are not entirely sure. the whole goal of him taking over twitter was to potentially create an app called the everything app, it had —— his whole leadership has caused controversy over the past 53 days. as to whether he abides by this result is yet to be seen. he has already set a precedent with following through on his twitter polls, for example he recently polled about whether to bring in say donald trump on twitter and restored his account when the majority of

users voted yes. but we are yet to see if he will abide by this, there is the expectation he will follow through with this, but having said this, he has you turned on a number of decisions at the company since his takeover. we cannot be 100% sure that he will step down —— that down soon and we are not sure of the date of this either. soon and we are not sure of the date of this either-— of this either. how is his ownership of this either. how is his ownership of twitter and _ of this either. how is his ownership of twitter and what _ of this either. how is his ownership of twitter and what he _ of this either. how is his ownership of twitter and what he is _ of this either. how is his ownership of twitter and what he is doing i of this either. how is his ownership| of twitter and what he is doing with the company affecting the ownership and management of other companies he owns, including tesla? it is important _ owns, including tesla? it is important to _ owns, including tesla? it is important to remember- owns, including tesla? it 3 important to remember that he is also owning and running tesla, space x, the boring company and euro rolling and that has affected a lot of use from investors and they have... some of them have not been impressed with the way he has dealt with things at litter and his spontaneous tweets that he has put out there, it is not uncommon for him to be tweeting late at night,

early in the morning, in random places. we saw him at the world cup yesterday so we assume that was made last night was when he was in qatar. it is yet to be seen. some people are impressed, some people are not. it is a divided opinion at the moment. about 30 sailors are missing after their vessel sank off the southeastern coast of thailand. a warship with more than 100 crew on board capsized last night during a storm in the gulf of thailand — the vessel was flooded after it lost power. 75 people were rescued. the prime minister has pledged to deliver more military aid to ukraine. rishi sunak said more air defence systems, artillery and military armour would be provided. the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky, urged leaders to increase the supply of air defence systems. he said a complete air shield for ukraine would be one of the best ways to stop russian aggression.

now it�*s time for a look at the weather with darren. hello there. the brisk south—westerly winds are brought a lot of cloud around today and some more rain as well, but very mild air. even in scotland, temperatures this evening are going to be in double figures, 12 or 13 further south. and it�*s further south that will see some rain developing once again and pushing its way eastwards across england and wales. to the north, we�*re going to find some clearer skies after the earlier rain before we see blustery showers arriving in the far northwest. so quite a range of temperatures tonight could be a bit chilly where we have the clearer skies and lighter winds, but where we keep that rain across eastern england by the morning, temperatures still in double figures. that rain should move away, though, fairly quickly. and we�*ll see the cloud breaking and sunshine across more of the country tomorrow. a few showers coming in on that breeze. most of the showers in the northwest where it�*s going to be windy. the showers in northwest scotland, heavy and maybe even wintry over the high ground. still a mild day, just not quite

as mild as it�*s been today out in the central belt of scotland, ten in the midlands. but those sort of temperatures and wet weather continues into wednesday. hello this is bbc news. the headlines: the high court has ruled that the government�*s rwanda deportation scheme is lawful. number 10 has welcomed the ruling — saying it�*s committed to the scheme and wants to get flights restarted "as quickly as possible". more strikes as ambulance workers in england and wales prepare to walk out on wednesday in a dispute over pay. i am really disappointed to see that the unions are calling the strikes, particularly at christmas, particularly when it has such an impact on people�*s day—to—day lives. elon musk could be about to step down as chief executive of twitter after a poll of the website�*s users found a majority, 57%, wanted him to leave. the billionaire has vowed to abide by the result. jeremy clarkson says he is "horrified to have caused

it wasn�*t easy especially in argentina because we always expect to have the best players. but what he has done over the last year, especially years with the copa america and with the world cup yesterday it is incredible. we saw more of messi as a human being in this world cup. those who follow football a little bit, we saw him sometimes getting a little bit frustrated and then his genius on the pitch. have we learned more about who he is as a person? probably. i didn�*t know he was a human being because what he is doing is incredible. but yes, probably will know more about him. he is a different kind of player. this is something i have never seen in my life in terms of his personality, his way of playing football. the way that he led argentina in our country. and the rest of the country were supporting them this is incredible. you say he is a different kind of person.

i am old enough to say that in 1986, i saw diego maradona play, something i rememberfor the rest of my life. you have got two icons now, maradona and messi. do they now in history, in argentina live side by side? absolutely. a couple of years ago we stopped comparing them, we just tried to enjoyed them. especially this generation, mine that didn�*t see maradona play apart from videos on single story there are parents or grandparents told about him. but of course they are equal and they are argentines. what is it going to be like when the team comes back with the world cup trophy and parade through banna cyrus? it is going be crazy. they are going to be landing later on tonight in argentina, they are going to have a rest and then tomorrow is going to be

a massive party again like it was and it has been since yesterday. it is great to see you are in the argentina jersey. you will know more than me, thatjersey is now out of date. it is only got two stars on. you need to get the one with three stars. an argentinian sports journalist in buenos aires there. we do have some breaking news to bring you a comes from the metropolitan police. the police say that a second woman has died following the brixton academy incident on thursday. the metropolitan police say the following, 23 years old died in hospital in the early hours of monday. she was working as one of the contracted security providers for the event that evening. you will remember that there was a crash which is still being investigated by the police. we also know early on that was reported that rebecca, a

mother of two and a nursing graduate died in that crash. another woman who was aged 21 remains in hospital in a critical condition. police say that detectives are working hard to establish exactly what happened on thursday night. news the breaking of a second fatality, just 23 years old. onto another story now... jeremy clarkson has claimed he�*s "horrified" to have caused offence with a column he wrote in the sun newspaper about the duchess of sussex. the independent press standards organisation, ipso had received more than 6,000 complaints when he wrote in the sun that he loathed the duchess of sussex �*on a cellular level�*. writing on twitter he said that he would be more careful in the future. earlier i spoke to our media and arts correspondent david sillito who told me whatjeremy clarkson had tweeted. oh dear, i have rather

put my foot in it. he said, it was a clumsy reference to game of thrones, the tv series, it has gone down badly. he is horrified there is so much hurt, i will be more careful in the future. whether or not that sways just the response to the article. let�*s go back to what he actually wrote. this was about the duchess of sussex, meghan markle. he said he hated her on a cellular level. he said, i lie there grinding my teeth, dreaming of the day that she is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in britain and lumps of excrement are thrown at her. 6,000 people have complained to ipso, the independent press regulator. to give you some context to how many letters. in 2021 the total number of complaints was just over 14,000, so you are seeing the level of response that there was. his own family, his daughter, emily clarkson said that she stands against everything my dad wrote about meghan markle.

she said, i have been very clear about everything when it comes to misogyny, bullying and the treatment of women by the media. of course, we have to put in the context of the harry and meghan documentary. six hours on netflix, cataloguing the treatment that they have endured from the media, what they say is unfair and often discriminatory and misogynistic. jeremy clarkson has now said that he was referring to game of thrones. that wasn�*t immediately obvious to me, not having watched game of thrones. is there a very clear dividing line between incitement to hate speech into violence and figurative speech online? break ipso guidelines? the issue here is there are two areas, does it break ipso guidelines?

and that is very clearly about matters of accuracy, harassment. being a journalist being on your doorstep, not going away. and also discrimination. is it racially discriminatory? so there is an element there. but there is no clear adjudication saying, is this an unpopular opinion, is it an unpleasant opinion, are we going to fight against it? that is not in the editor�*s code. ipso could bring a fine if it has broken the editor�*s code but the number brought in its years of existence so far are zero. david sillitoe reporting. ijust want to repeat to the news that we broke a few moments ago that second woman has died in the crash, the woman has died in the crash, the woman has died in the crash, the woman has been named by the metropolitan police. she was 23 years old and working as a security provider we have a photo to show you. she was working as a security

provider and we also know prior to this that another woman died in the incident, rebecca who was 33, a mother and a nursing graduate. the police say they are working hard to establish what happened at that crush on thursday night. foti was has just been released of 23—year—old, gabrielle hutchinson who died at the incident. a report on anti—semitism in british society has concluded that secondary schools should be required to teach about anti—jewish hatred in the modern world. the government�*s anti—semitism adviser, lord mann — who wrote the report — says he�*s concerned about a worrying rise in incidents among young people — many of which go unreported. those that are reported for example by parents or by teachers in schools, but also perhaps a bigger number

that are not reported, where parents don�*t want to draw any attention to their child. they may be the only jewish child in the class and they don�*t want their child at the centre of attention. theyjust kind of get on with life. but tell people like me, and others, about it, because they are concerned about the impact this is having and about it happening again. and the institute of education, who do the holocaust training for most teachers across the country report an increasing number of teachers asking them what they need to do about anti—semitic incidents they have come across because teachers have not been sure. and in some cases have not been sure what an anti—semitic incident is and isn�*t.

so basic education in schools but also teacher training on what is anti—semitism and how to deal with it is needed and it should be no big deal to do. we are not talking about very complex levels of training. just basic levels of understanding and getting that into the school system, that is an absolute top priority. one thing that has not been done in this country that could have been done over the last decade. why is it not already in the school system? i don�*t think people have seen it, i have not seen, as an issue before. it has not been reported as an issue before. in the last 12 months, far more reports of it. the work we have got from the academics highlighting it, i think that people have kept quiet in the past but now, they are more worried and they are speaking out but certainly, a lot of parents who have spoken to me had not reported or complained to the school or any other authority about it but they are worried, but they did not want to draw attention to their child,

maybe a 12—year—old child lets say in a secondary school, because of the potential additional negative impact that would create. education in schools, schools knowing how to do it, is needed. they should be straightforward. i am asking the government, i am not asking for a load of money to do this, it is more changing what is being done, little bit of time and attention given to it but doing it methodically across the whole of the country in all our secondary schools. when you say a bit of time and attention, would that be a special lesson? it might be a lesson. what we are doing is what i have initiated in the north of england and with the institute of education at the national holocaust centre, we are looking at the next 12 months, we have started the work on what will succeed, how much time is needed, where it is needed. and the remit given to the group of experts doing that is not to add to the curriculum,

it is do do it within the existing curriculum, looking at how it can be slotted in very straightforwardly and where it will work best and what should be done and that has been professionally evaluated as part of this project. what i want when we report at the end of the year is that then is rolled out in the lessons across the whole of the country. i would imagine people watching this will be thinking of scenarios, so let�*s say there is a class of secondary school pupils and an anti—semitic remark is made, what happens next? what would you like to see happening at that moment? if the teenager makes a remark, should the teacher take charge? the teacher should take charge and know how to take charge but the impact if there is a... let�*s say there is onejewish student in that class, the impact on that person could be major. thatis that is the feedback i have had in the last year when it is happened.

the school needs an approach to it, as they would with any kind of intimidation or bullying or racism. individual pupils, small groups, need protection. schools need to know how to do it and what the experts at the institute of education found when they have been teaching teachers about the holocaust is an increasing number of teachers who were not sure what to do. that more than anything convinced me that we needed this kind of project that we now have under way but also that we have a system across the country. it is not happening. it has not happened. some teachers and schools deal with it very well but it is clear because they are telling us that not all teachers and schools do know how to deal with it and we need to ensure that there is something comprehensive so that wherever you are in the country, there is that protection and also, so this scourge of anti—semitism

is not filtrating through because it has not been challenged. a new deal to protect nature has been agreed at a un biodiversity summit in canada. the plan will put 30% of the planet under protection by the end of the decade — and there will also be targets for safeguarding ecosystems such as rainforests and wetlands. as our climate editor justin rowlatt reports, the agreement was finalised in the early hours of the morning. this is the moment the world agreed the significant new deal to protect nature. translation: i do not see objection it is agreed. the agreement included stopping the alarming decline of the natural world. they include protecting 30% of the land and oceans by 2030. targets to prevent the extinction of species and there is also an agreement on funding to help developing nations.

the objective is to protect biodiversity, protect the speeches that constitute the web of life on earth. the blue whale! the biggest creature that exists on the planet. if you imagine a spider�*s web, the more strands that you have, the more connections you have, the more interplay. if you cut one of those strands the whole thing don�*t collapse, all of the strands support each other. and that is what people don�*t realise, when you start cutting those strands you don�*t really notice it and then suddenly they will collapse. the problem is this that we are destroying that web of life faster than ever before. this is one of the most famous victims of the rise of humanity a dodo here at the natural history museum. the last one died more than 350 years ago. but the un says more than1 million species but the un says more than 1 million species than 1 million species are, like the dodo, at the risk of extension.

just look at how global wildlife population have declined. down by more than two thirds since 1970. we now have a beautiful nature that has a mission to stop the loss of biodiversity by 2030. that is the exactly the mission that we need. we cannot lose any more nature we need to halt nature we need to halt and reverse the loss of nature by 2030. critics say the deal could have been more ambitious and had clearer timelines for nations to deliver on the targets. but the consensus is, this agreement is far better than no deal at all. family and friends have gathered in melrose today to celebrate the life of doddie weir. the former scotland international died last month at the age of 52, six years after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease. our sports news correspondent chris mclaughlin reports from outside the service in melrose. you can probablyjust about hear the service being relayed

to the town�*s rugby club in front of me and hundreds gathered under a small stand. others huddled under umbrellas on a wet and windy day here in the scottish borders. not dull because everywhere you look, everyone is decked out in tartan. that was the request of doddie weir�*s family and there was a private family funeraljust over a week ago today here in the town that loved doddie weir in the town he called home and this was their chance to celebrate his life. 450 people in the church behind me, including the likes of scott and gavin hastings, scotland rugby legends of course and martinjohnson the former england captain in there as well, as well as the olympian sir chris hoy. all here to celebrate a man who meant so much to so many. £8 million already raised in the fight against motor neurone disease, the disease that ultimately took doddie weir�*s life last month.

rob wainwright his former scotland team—mate cycled here from perth, determined he says to keep that charity legacy alive and he says that basically because even though doddie weir may not be here, his charity work will very much go on. chris mclaughlin reporting there. to celebrate the life of doddie weir, who died at the age of 52. more than 130 bus companies in england are to cap single adult fares at £2 — as part of a government—funded scheme to help with the cost of living. national express and stagecoach will be among those to introduce the cap, which will apply outside the capital for the first three months of next year. labour has described the policy as a half measure after years of soaring fares. the policy has already been rolled out in greater manchester. its mayor, andy burham, has welcomed the move but said that more needs to be done to encourage

people onto public transport. well, obviously this is being done with government help and i would say that�*s exactly what should be done on a long—term basis because pretty much every country in the world provides subsidy for buses to make sure that they are affordable to people and if you look around the world, actually, people are bringing down the cost of public transport. in germany, they have introduced a 49 euro rail pass for a month where people can have unlimited regional rail travel and i think this reflects the fact that we need more people to use public transport from a climate perspective but also it helps from an economic perspective as well in terms of getting people back to work. it�*s a policy that makes sense on every level and i would just like to see the government commit to doing it permanently.

now it�*s time for a look at the weather. hello there. the really cold weather has come to an end for many parts of the country and temperatures are 12 degrees warmer today than yesterday. but with the mild weather we have seen rain and there are flood warnings in southern england and more rain to come and we saw snow melting of course. still has been a covering of snow across some parts of scotland, especially in the hills, but with a milder weather over the snow—covered ground it has been foggy. temperatures double figures into the evening across many parts of scotland and further south will be mild. still windy and a strong south and south westerly winds and may be gusting gale force in the irish sea coast and hills. those winds will tend to ease overnight and we will see clear spells developing across the northern half of the uk before showers arrive in the north—west. england and wales will have another spell of rain and it could be heavy for a while and it will push its way to eastern parts of england keeping temperatures of double figures. further north with clear skies it

will be colder with temperatures of 3 or 4 degrees. sunshine on the way for many of us tomorrow and we have the early rain across eastern england and it should clear away smartly and then we will see a few showers and most of those across northern ireland and the north—west of scotland where they could be heavy and potentially wintry over the highlands as well. still a mild day with temperatures in a degrees in glasgow but not as mild as today and 13 across south—east england and across east anglia. blustery showers in the north—west will continue overnight around that area of low pressure and further south across england and wales with more rain developing and this will stagger its way eastwards and again it will be followed by sunshine and showers will continue further north and the bulk of those will be across the north—west of scotland, frequent and heavy and it�*s just cold enough for wintry weather over the mountain tops. still temperatures 9—11 on wednesday so still mild. mild weather at this time of the year tends to be brought by south—westerly winds and those south—westerly winds contain a lot of moisture with cloud

in these weather fronts will bring spells of rain. around areas of low pressure which will strengthen the winds as well. we keep milder weather as we head towards christmas but there is talk of colder air across northern parts of scotland so there is the potential for snow in northern scotland on christmas eve and also on christmas day but further south it still mild and just as temperatures dropping away a little bit but still in double figures.

week when ambulance workers go on strike. steve barclay said he was dean —— keen to continue dialogue. the government has said it would be resolute in with pay demands. the leader of the largest health union has seen keep —— accuse the governor and being entrancing on the issue of day. tomorrow, nurses in some trusts are due to take action for a second time. that�*ll be followed on wednesday with strikes by around 10,000 ambulance and 999 staff in england and wales. they are expected to strike again on the 28th of december. within the last few minutes, we have heard steve barclay has invited three unions talks to be held tomorrow afternoon. emergency cover on strike days will also be discussed but no mention of pay on the agenda. if you call for an ambulance on wednesday, it may not come. paramedics will respond to life—threatening conditions, but the walk—out by ambulance workers in england and wales will be

the latest health service strike to impact patients. talks with the government are deadlocked. unions say ministers must move on pay. i can�*t even say how the talks have been going, because there haven�*t been any talks. and so i don�*t feel particularly optimistic. i am really sorry about it, because i think this government is in serious danger of putting the public at risk by not doing what they should be doing to try and resolve the dispute. this morning, ministers met in westminster to discuss plans for handling the strike. they have said unions must ensure there is emergency cover and the military has already been put on standby to help out. but there is no sign the government is ready to budge on the central question of pay. we have an independent process in terms of the pay review body. that is the right way we should look at these issues and that is what the government has done, and we have accepted those recommendations in full. it is the trade unions that are not accepting the independent pay review process and not accepting

those pay recommendations. and i am keen that they do so, so we can get the discussions on to the many other areas where we can work together. wednesday�*s strike by ambulance workers will follow a second walk—out by nurses tomorrow. what do we want? a pay rise. how do we get it? strike. unions have warned the dispute over pay and working conditions could stretch into next year if the government does not sit down and discuss pay. nurses want a settlement above inflation — but ministers say that is unaffordable. the result? disruption to patients. it�*s worth remembering this is going to be an incredibly challenging and disrupted week, not only because we have the ambulance service coming out on strike across nearly every region, as you said, but also because we�*ve got these sequential strikes. these strikes reflect the strain and pressures within the nhs. this morning, the mother of a child with cystic fibrosis made herfeelings clear to the minister in charge. we were short of doctors, we were short of beds going into the pandemic, so i think it is really wrong

to blame it on the pandemic. and actually, the damage that you are doing to families like myself is terrible. of all the strikes happening this winter, it�*s the disruption in the nhs putting most pressure on ministers and unions to find a fix. but so far, neither side seems ready to blink. ben wright, bbc news, westminster. thank you so much forjoining us. in a lot of our coverage, we have spoken about many issues behind pay but i want our viewers to have a look at what is going to happen on wednesday. if an older person. in their house and that older person over the age of eight years alone, and they call 99, what�*ll happen? fin and they call 99, what'll happen? on the

people coming here illegally. it is not legitimate to leave a safe country like france to seek asylum in the united kingdom. and we have to break the business model of the people smuggling gangs. their trade in human cargo is evil and lethal, as we were tragically reminded very recently. there is a global migration crisis and it requires international solutions. in april, my right honourable friend backed by my right honourable friend backed by my right honourable friend the memberfor uxbridge and my right honourable friend the member for uxbridge and south my right honourable friend the memberfor uxbridge and south rice lake signed a ground—breaking migration and economic development partnership with rowe under —— rwanda and they deserve enormous credit for their work on this. we agreed that people who come to the uk by a dangerous illegal and unnecessary means can be relocated

to rwanda to have their asylum claims considered there. those in need of protection will be given up to five years of support, including education and employment training, along with help with integration, accommodation and health care. being relocated to rwanda is not a punishment but an innovative way to address the problem of the imbalance between legal and illegal migration routes. it also ensure that those in genuine need of international protection are provided with it in rwanda. it is a humane and practical alternative for those who come here through dangerous illegal and unnecessary routes and by making it clear that they cannot expect to stay in the uk, we will deter more people from coming here and make such routes unviable. there has been

a great deal of misinformation about rwanda. i visited rwanda myself several years ago. she is a state party to the 1951 united nations refugee convention and it is a safe and dynamic country with a thriving economy. it has an excellent record of supporting refugees and vulnerable migrants. the united nations has used rwanda for the relocation of vulnerable migrants from libya and this was first funded by the european union. many migrants including refugees have already built excellent lives in rwanda and our partnership is a significant investment in that country and further strengthens our relationship. a method still possess that the home office permanent secretary oppose this agreement. for the record, he did not. nor did he assert that it is a definitely poor

value for money. he stated in his role as a counting officer that the policy is regular and feasible but there is not currently sufficient evidence to demonstrate that. as he would be the first to agree, it is for ministers to take decisions having received official advice. and once the partnership is abandoning, he will continue to monitor its efficacy, including value for money. injune, the first plane was ready to relocate people to rwanda. our domestic court, the high court, the court of appeal and the supreme court of appeal and the supreme court upheld our right to send the flight, however following an order by an out of hours judge flight, however following an order by an out of hoursjudge in flight, however following an order by an out of hours judge in the european court of human rights, the flight was cancelled. theory —— european court of human rights did not rule that the policy or rule —— relocations were unlawful but it prohibited the removal of specific people. this was without notice

order and the uk was not invited to make representations to oppose it. mr speaker, as a result, we have been unable to operate relocation flights pending ongoing legal proceedings, howeverwe flights pending ongoing legal proceedings, however we have continued to prepare by issuing notices of intent for those eligible for relocation. and my right honourable friend the prime minister recently outlined a comprehensive new approach to illegal migration. a judicial review was brought against the rwanda partnership in organisations and individual asylum seekers. the first part of proceedings considered a case that the partnership is unlawful. part two argued that uk domestic processes under the partnership were unfair. and part three that the policy is contrary to data protection laws. today, the high court in a judgment spanning over 130 pages, lord justice lewis and mr

justice sweeney held that it is indeed lawful for the government to make arrangements for relocating asylum seekers to rwanda and for their asylum claims to be determined in rwanda rather than in the united kingdom. the court held further that the relocation of asylum seekers to rwanda is consistent with the refugee convention and with the statutory and other legal obligations upon the government including obligations imposed by the human rights act. mr speaker, this judgment thoroughly vindicates the rwanda partnership. ispoke judgment thoroughly vindicates the rwanda partnership. i spoke earlier today with my counterpart in rwanda, and we both confirmed ourjoint and steadfast resolve to deliver this partnership at scale as soon is possible. it is what the

overwhelming majority of the british people want to see happen. the sooner it is up and running, the sooner it is up and running, the sooner we will break the business model of the evil gangs and bring an end to these illegal unnecessary and unsafe channel crossings. now that our ports have a —— affirmed its legality, i invite the opposition to get behind this plan. and i commend this statement to the house. i call the shadow _ this statement to the house. i call the shadow home _ this statement to the house. i call the shadow home secretary, yvette coopen _ the shadow home secretary, yvette coo -er. ., .. the shadow home secretary, yvette coo-er. ., ,, i. the shadow home secretary, yvette coo-er. ., ~' ,, ~ the shadow home secretary, yvette coo-er. ., ,, ~ .,~ cooper. thank you, mr speaker. the government — cooper. thank you, mr speaker. the government has _ cooper. thank you, mr speaker. the government has failed _ cooper. thank you, mr speaker. the government has failed to _ cooper. thank you, mr speaker. the government has failed to stop i government has failed to stop criminal— government has failed to stop criminal gangs— government has failed to stop criminal gangs putting - government has failed to stop criminal gangs putting lives i government has failed to stopj criminal gangs putting lives at government has failed to stop i criminal gangs putting lives at risk and proliferating _ criminal gangs putting lives at risk and proliferating a _ criminal gangs putting lives at risk and proliferating a long _ criminal gangs putting lives at risk and proliferating a long —— - criminal gangs putting lives at risk and proliferating a long —— along i and proliferating a long —— along our borders _ and proliferating a long —— along our borders. they— and proliferating a long —— along our borders. they failed - and proliferating a long —— along our borders. they failed to i our borders. they failed to prosecute _ our borders. they failed to prosecute a _ our borders. they failed to prosecute a convicted i our borders. they failed to| prosecute a convicted gang our borders. they failed to _ prosecute a convicted gang members and failed _ prosecute a convicted gang members and failed to — prosecute a convicted gang members and failed to take _ prosecute a convicted gang members and failed to take basic— prosecute a convicted gang members and failed to take basic asylum i and failed to take basic asylum decisions — and failed to take basic asylum decisions which _ and failed to take basic asylum decisions which are _ and failed to take basic asylum decisions which are down i and failed to take basic asylum decisions which are down by. and failed to take basic asylum i decisions which are down by 40% in the last— decisions which are down by 40% in the last six— decisions which are down by 40% in the last six years. _ decisions which are down by 40% in the last six years. and _ decisions which are down by 40% in the last six years. and instead i decisions which are down by 40% in the last six years. and instead of. the last six years. and instead of sorting _ the last six years. and instead of sorting those _ the last six years. and instead of sorting those problems - the last six years. and instead of sorting those problems out, - the last six years. and instead ofi sorting those problems out, they have _ sorting those problems out, they

and... or whether access to justice was respected for solid looked very closely at other public law grounds. and on all of those, the home office won. the court concluded it was lawful, that it is lawful for the government to make arrangements for relocating asylum seekers to rwanda and for their asylum claims to be determined in rwanda rather than the uk. and thatjudgment is a comprehensive analysis of the reasons why. the honourable member does ask about the eight individual cases and we accept the judgment of the court on those individual cases. we have already taken steps to strengthen the case working process, including by revising the information and guidance to individuals during their assessment for relocation but we have been clear throughout that no one will be relocated if it is unsafe for them

and support is offered to individuals throughout the process to ensure it is fair and robust. the simple truth is that labour have opposed every one of our efforts to deter illegal migration. they have opposed the nationality and borders act. they have opposed life sentences against people smugglers. they have opposed the removal of foreign national offenders, including drug dealers and rapists. all they offer is obstruction and criticism and performative politics of opposition. and magical thinking because what do they actually offer? they say return to the failed dublin scheme, no matter that it was ineffective, no matter that the european union does not want it. they want safe and legal routes as the answer, no matter that this government has done more than any other in recent history, offering sanctuary to over 450,000 people by

safe and legal routes. no matter that they cannot actually define what routes they would stand up themselves. no matter that our capacity is not unlimited, mr speaker, and there are over 100 million people displaced globally. would labour give them all a safe and legal routes of the uk? mr speaker, we cannot indulge infection. the fundamental reason that labour cannot articulated plan they cannot be honest with the british public about what they really want. the shadow home secretary could not even decide if she would repeal illegal entry, even though she voted against it. their solution would be to turn our crisis of illegal migration into a crisis of illegal migration into a crisis of illegal migration into a crisis of illegal migration, open borders by the back door. unlimited safe and legal routes is simply open borders and that —— masquerading as humanitarianism. last week the prime minister and i announced our plans to tackle small boats. today, the

court firmly —— the legality of the central piece in that plan and tomorrow, mr speaker, labourstill tomorrow, mr speaker, labour still won't tomorrow, mr speaker, labourstill won't have a plan. that tomorrow, mr speaker, labour still won't have a plan.— won't have a plan. that was suella braverman. _ won't have a plan. that was suella braverman, the _ won't have a plan. that was suella braverman, the home _ won't have a plan. that was suella braverman, the home secretary, l braverman, the home secretary, taking questions from yvette cooper. suella braverman was speaking in the wake of the fact that the home office has won a legal challenge to its policy of sending some asylum seekers to rwanda. in parliament just now, you will have heard suella braverman saying this judgment thoroughly vindicates the rwanda partnership but yvette cooper for labour said it was not a vindication of the scheme. let's bring in clare mosley. she works for a charity that supports migrants. thank you for joining us. the government largely won its case, there were eight individual that they have to look at again but on the substantive policy,

the government won, your response? we are of course very disappointed at this but this is only the first court to hear this case and we will be considering our position with regard to appeals. the decision on the individuals is encouraging, it shows just how many issues there are with this policy and it shows the position is not at all straightforward. the policy is not simple and it is not going to be straightforward for the government to deport people. any individual given a notice of intent to deport is going to have an opportunity to appeal it had to go to court, so there are going to be a lot of issues with implementation and i think that shows just how unworkable this policy is and i think we have to remember that this policy is not going to be a deterrent and we have so much evidence now since it was introduced that more people than ever before have crossed the channel

in small boats. there is no indication that anybody at all is going to be deterred by it. really i think we have to ask why are we still pursuing this policy with its many pitfalls? and especially when eight people drowned last week in the channel, it is urgent that we do something to save lives and this policyjust is not going to do that. the home secretaryjust now any house of commons described rwanda as a safe and dynamic country. is that how you sweet —— see it? it a safe and dynamic country. is that how you sweet -- see it?— how you sweet -- see it? it really is not. how you sweet -- see it? it really is not- we — how you sweet -- see it? it really is not. we heard _ how you sweet -- see it? it really is not. we heard an _ how you sweet -- see it? it really| is not. we heard an overwhelming amount of evidence about how rwanda simply is not going to be safe for refugees. it might be safer tourists but it is not safe for refugees and we also heard evidence from our own foreign secretary that they have concerns about the human right record of rwanda. we cannot guarantee the safety of refugees in rwanda and that is why we cannot send them there.— send them there. because the 'ud . ment send them there. because the judgment went _ send them there. because the judgment went on _ send them there. because the judgment went on the - send them there. because the -

judgment went on the government's side, does this mean that you now have to rethink the way you approach this? you lost essentially in court. we did and we will have to have discussions with our lawyers about it. it is a very quickjudgment and there is a —— very thickjudgment and there is a lot to work through. we have to have a discussion with legal teams but the decisions on individual cases are encouraging and it is the case it is a long way to go. it does not change the fundamental points of this policy, it is not a deterrent, it will not achieve anything, the people it is targeting, the people that we working with calais, we have had figures released from the government and show the very high acceptance rate for those people. people that we work with are coming from the most dangerous places in the world and they have suffered horrific things and they are coming to ask for our help and it is shocking that these people who have suffered such terrible things are now on the cusp of safety and getting to the uk and being threatened with the trauma of

another deportation halfway across the world. the horror of that first flight, i cannot over emphasise to you, we were talking to those people in the middle of the night when they were in detention and they were telling us, if i get sent to rwanda, i will kill myself. we were talking to their families, i will kill myself. we were talking to theirfamilies, their i will kill myself. we were talking to their families, their wives, children, their mothers, who were begging not to be sent to rwanda. children saying i will never see my father again if he is sent to rwanda. this is the real human cost of this policy. it is notjust about needle —— legal niceties. of this policy. it is notjust about needle -- legal niceties.- of this policy. it is notjust about needle -- legal niceties. thank you so much for — needle -- legal niceties. thank you so much forjoining _ needle -- legal niceties. thank you so much forjoining us. _ elon musk is own twitter for seven weeks and he quite likes twitter polls although the last form is quite unusual. he might have to step down as chief executive of his own firm after the poll found that 57% of voters found that he should

leave. he promised to abide by the results. he has faced heavy criticism since buying the social network. i'm joined now to discuss all of this. if he steps down as ceo he is still the owner and final decision still come from him so what would it matter if he step down?— world's bigger showman. he knows how to make a spectacle. he then fired the entire public relations team yet seven weeks and we are still talking about twitter. elon musk is already told a court in the us in delaware that he doesn't intend to run twitter long term and that he is going to move on from the company and he is going to find someone else to run it. now he is weaponised and turn that into a social media poll to get more attention. it is hard to say whether he knew he was what he

was doing. he did thisjust minutes after the final in qatar. then he tweeted this and the people have spoken. elon musk is a great believer in the people speaking. suggesting that he will follow these polls. i think you probably already planned to go, i think this gives them an exit now to leave. i am not entirely sure when he is going to head off but if you look at everything that is going on with tesla. one of the large investors in his car company has said there is now not an full—time ceo at tas than it needs one. he is trying to take man to mars so this is a bloke with a lot on his plate.— a lot on his plate. what is then, as far as you — a lot on his plate. what is then, as far as you can _ a lot on his plate. what is then, as far as you can tell, _ a lot on his plate. what is then, as far as you can tell, his _ a lot on his plate. what is then, as far as you can tell, his overall- far as you can tell, his overall strategy for twitter? would he ever contemplate selling it? i do strategy for twitter? would he ever contemplate selling it?— contemplate selling it? i do not know what _ contemplate selling it? i do not know what his _ contemplate selling it? i do not know what his strategy for - contemplate selling it? i do not i know what his strategy for twitter is an anybody who tells you that

they do does not know because i think it changes on a daily basis and elon musk�*s mind. talking about becoming the home of free speech, he stepped on that pretty quickly because he is decided it is free speech when he wants it to be. he may have wanted to get rid of some of what he considered the left wing elements, they have not gone anywhere. i am elements, they have not gone anywhere. lam not elements, they have not gone anywhere. i am not entirely sure what his ultimate aim is, it's losing money. it appears to be losing money. it appears to be losing even more money because more advertisers have left the platform and it is hard to know what happened. one thing this week, elon musk said it was going to be against twitter�*s rule to share his location. however, this is the same elon musk who wants to we as twitter users have to share their location with them because they want to use location —based advertisement. there are so many contradictions it is unbelievable.— are so many contradictions it is unbelievable. does it matter to, well used to _ unbelievable. does it matter to, well used to be _ unbelievable. does it matter to, well used to be the _ unbelievable. does it matter to,

he was dreaming of the day when meghan was "made to parade naked through the streets of every town in britain while the crowds chant �*shame!”'. the press regulator has received more than 6,000 complaints about the column. earlier i had from arts correspond he told us more about whatjeremy clarkson tweeted. 0h oh dear 0h dearl oh dear i rather put my foot in it. he said it was a clumsy reference to the game of thrones, a tv series. it has gone down badly, he is horrified that there is so much hurt and he shall be more careful in the future. whether or not that assuage is the response. let's go back to what he actually wrote. let's go this is about the duchess of sussex, he said he hated her on a cellular level, i lie there grinding my teeth dreaming of the day she is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in britain and in lumps of excrement thrown at her. 6000 people

have complained to ipso, to give you the context as to how me that is, in 2021 the total number of complaints for all newspaper articles was just over 14,000. for all newspaper articles was just over14,000. so for all newspaper articles was just over 14,000. 50 within the level of response that there was. his own family, his daughter, emily clarkson has said that she stands against everything my dad wrote about meghan markle. she said, i have been very clear about everything when it comes to misogyny, bullying and the treatment of women by the media. of course, we have got to put in the context of the harry and meghan documentary, six hours on netflix cataloguing the treatment that they have endured from the media. what they say it's unfair, often discriminatory and misogynistic. jeremy clarkson has now said, as you have just said, that he was referring to game of thrones, that wasn't immediately obvious to me, not having watched a game of thrones. is there a very clear line

between incitement to hate speech or to violence even an figurative speech online?— to violence even an figurative speech online? to violence even an figurative seech online? , , , speech online? the issue here is, there are two _ speech online? the issue here is, there are two areas, _ speech online? the issue here is, there are two areas, one - speech online? the issue here is, there are two areas, one is - speech online? the issue here is, there are two areas, one is of- there are two areas, one is of course, does it break the ipso guidelines? and of course you have the editor's code. and that is very clearly about matters of accuracy. harassment, a journalist being on your doorstep are not going away. and also discrimination, is it racially discriminatory? there is an element there. but there is no clear adjudication saying, is this an unpopular opinion? is there an unpleasant opinion? are we going to find against it? that is not in the editor's code. ipso could bring a fine if it does breach the editor's code. however, in its eight years in existence the number of magazines is levied a fine against zero. the

actress, amber _ levied a fine against zero. the actress, amber heard has decided to settle a defamation case against her husband johnny depp. the dutch prime minister is going to apologise for its role in slavery. earlier i spoke to our correspondent who said that this apology was both symbolic and historic. he made the speech in the national archives saying that he cannot ignore the facts. and actually he went into some of those numbers. the striking figures here by 1814. more than 6000 rent

from theirfamilies, in asia up to here by 1814. more than 6000 rent from their families, in asia up to a million people were traded by the dutch east indian company. unimaginable numbers that he pointed out and really highlighted the cruelty of the slavery or of course mandated by the dutch state, which is why he made this apology today. we played an axe a report of yours in the last hour which we are not running in the moment but what did you find in your own investigation? you know, ifound just how you find in your own investigation? you know, i found just how sensitive is and how raw this issue is. and how, there isn't really one view even with the affected community. i spoke to so many descendants of enslaved people who left her in the netherlands. even within the group of people i spoke to, one, an antiracism activist said there is no point in apology without meaningful

actions. it wasn't mentioned in that speech but 200 million euros will be dedicated to awareness raising projects. other people, a dejo at a radio station that went to court to try and stop this apology from going ahead on the 19th of december because they said this is a random dating doesn't mean anything to us instead they wanted it to be on the ist ofjuly 2023 which would mark the 160th anniversary of the emancipation acts when the shackles were released. he said this has echoes of colonialism the way this whole apology has been conducted, they haven't listened to us and therefore it doesn't mean anything to us. and there were others. someone whose name was given to her by her ancestors means never again in dutch and that was to reflect the idea that they would never be enslaved again. she said, to recognise the past and recognise that these were crimes against

humanity will help to address the imbalance in society now and create a more level playing field for the children of these enslaved people in the future. and that was something the future. and that was something the prime minister acknowledged too. he said that centuries of oppression still have effect today in ratio stereotypes and to break those patterns we need to have to face up to these realities of the past openly and honestly. and actually, next year, the ist ofjuly 2023, the king will be present at those commemorations. so he may also offer an apology then. and this is coming at a time and of course, so many other countries are considering their colonial legacies and may encourage other nations to take similar steps. more than 130 bus operators outside london will begin capping single adult fares at £2 next month as part of a government—funded scheme to help people save money.the cities of manchester, to help people save money. the cities of manchester, liverpool and west yorkshire —

have already introduced £2 caps as part of longer—term schemes. joining us now is tracy brabin, mayor of west yorkshire. thanks so much forjoining us. how is this game going where you are? well, we have always been pioneers in west yorkshire. 50 i am pleased that we have an idea that we have already rolled out last september, and that governments had picked up on our good practice. sadly, the most of the people in england, it is only going to be for three months. here in west yorkshire, we have committed to three years. it is in response to the cost of living crisis but also to get more people on the bus and to tackle the climate emergency. it is proving successful, obviously, there has been a shortfall because of covid but with young people in particular we are back to pre—covert levels. we are seeing that the mayers fair is having an impact. it shouldn't be a

short—term measure. haifa having an impact. it shouldn't be a short-term measure.— short-term measure. how are you -a in: for short-term measure. how are you paying for it — short-term measure. how are you paying for it in — short-term measure. how are you paying for it in west _ short-term measure. how are you paying for it in west yorkshire? i paying for it in west yorkshire? that comes from the bus improvement grants, we decided to use substantial amounts of money from that grant to make sure that we can get people back on the bus. and also, the rest of money will go to improving roads. we are in a difficult landscape, we have had the best recovery money that looks like it is coming to an end in march. and companies are saying that they are cutting routes. so what i would hope from government is to see more of a long—term plan to solve this problem about how we get more people using buses. and also, private companies, are we going to make sure that when they are running for profit they also can run the routes that are needed by our communities. if we're going to truly level up, you have to

give people opportunities to be connected to jobs and college so on in order to give them the opportunities that other people see across the country. you opportunities that other people see across the country.— across the country. you say more --eole across the country. you say more people on — across the country. you say more people on buses. — across the country. you say more people on buses, do _ across the country. you say more people on buses, do you - across the country. you say more people on buses, do you have - across the country. you say more - people on buses, do you have enough buses? ~ ., . ., buses? well, we do have enough buses. buses? well, we do have enough buses- we _ buses? well, we do have enough buses. we are _ buses? well, we do have enough buses. we are also _ buses? well, we do have enough buses. we are also going - buses? well, we do have enough buses. we are also going electricj buses. we are also going electric which i'm really pleased about. we will have 111 electric vehicles across west yorkshire very soon. we have three bus companies that we are working closely with in what is called an enhanced partnership that it is really difficult when we have the mayor's fares which are cheaper fares but then private companies cutting routes. so, i have been working with other mayors across the country to say to government, we can't be staggering. support from government, we need a more mature plan to how we are going to support buses across the country to make sure that we have a robust and

something the government can help us with. . ,, i. ., _, ., with. thank you for coming on the programme- _ a new deal to protect nature has been agreed, the plan would put 30% of the planet's biodiversity under protection and there would also be plans to protect ego systems as our climate added to reports. the agreement was finalised in the early hours of the morning. this is the moment the world agreed the significant new deal to protect nature. translation: i do not see objection it is agreed. the agreement included stopping the alarming decline of the natural world. they include protecting 30% of the land and oceans by 2030. targets to prevent the extinction of species and there is also an agreement on funding to help developing nations. the objective is to protect biodiversity, protect

the species that constitute the web of life on earth. the blue whale! the biggest creature that exists on the planet. the web of life is strong. if you imagine a spider's web, the more strands that you have, the more connections you have, the more interplay. if you cut one of those strands the whole thing don't collapse, all of the strands support each other. and that is what people don't realise, when you start cutting those biodiversity strands you don't really notice it and then suddenly they will collapse. the problem is this that we are destroying that web of life faster than ever before. this is one of the most famous victims of the rise of humanity, a dodo here at the natural history museum. the last one died more than 350 years ago. but the un says more than1 million species but the un says more than 1 million species than 1 million species are, like the dodo, at the risk of extension. just look at how global wildlife population have declined. down by more than two thirds since 1970. we now have a beautiful nature that

has a mission to stop the loss of biodiversity by 2030. that is the exactly the mission that we need. because we cannot lose any more nature we need to halt and reverse the loss of nature by 2030. critics say the deal could have been more ambitious and had clearer timelines for nations to deliver on the targets. but the consensus is, this agreement is far better than no deal at all. the chancellor is to set out his budget on the 15th of march next year. the office for budget responsibility is preparing an economic and fiscal forecast to go alongside the announcement. jamie hunt delivered his first budget as the government sought to restore the uk's economic credibility following

the budget under liz truss. legislation is to be introduced to require public venues and local authorities to have plans in place to prevent terrorist attacks. the new rules will be called martyn's law — named after martyn hett, one of the 22 people killed in the manchester arena bombing. here's robin brant. 29—year—old martyn hett was among 22 people who were killed in the manchester arena attack. since then, his mum has campaigned for change. change to prevent more attacks, and change to make sure venues, business and local authorities are better prepared to deal with terrorism. but they have the infrastructure there, they have the knowledge and the facilities to do that. and at the end of the day, that would then apply for over 650,000 small and medium—sized locations. we will observe a minutes silence

to remember those who were killed in the arena attack. the inquiry into the attack has exposed, in harrowing detail, the failings on that night. there were significant failings by a number of organisations in preparation and training for an emergency such as this and in their actions on the night of the attack. after a long, drawn—out process, the government has now confirmed a draught law will be published in the early spring. smaller venues holding fewer than 100 people will have to be better prepared, with training on simple measures like locking doors and first aid. bigger venues holding more than 800 people, like the manchester arena, will need staff to be more vigilant, and systems to allow better consideration of security. industry bodies have welcomed the plan but have raised some concerns about extra cost and staffing.

with cost inflation at the moment, we have to be conscious about some of these businesses and their financial position. some of the bigger spaces are already working towards making sure they are compliant. as you can appreciate, we cannot be completely compliant until we have the full details. robin brant, bbc news. the 52—year—old man has appeared in front of magistrates charged with murdering a mum and her two young children. this man is accused of murdering an nhs nurse who was 35. her son who was six and her daughter who was fourth. they were found with serious injuries at an address in kettering on thursday. and died a short time afterwards. a postmortem examination was carried out revealed they had died as a result of asphyxiation, he was arrested at the

and south westerly winds and may be gusting gale force in the irish sea coast and hills. those winds will tend to ease overnight and we will see clear spells developing across the northern half of the uk before showers arrive in the north—west. england and wales will have another spell of rain and it could be heavy for a while and it will push its way to eastern parts of england keeping temperatures of double figures. further north with clear skies it will be colder with temperatures of 3 or 4 degrees. sunshine on the way for many of us tomorrow and we have the early rain across eastern england and it should clear away smartly and then we will see a few showers and most of those across northern ireland and the north—west of scotland where they could be heavy and potentially wintry over the highlands as well. still a mild day with temperatures in a degrees in glasgow but not as mild as today and 13 across south—east england and across east anglia. blustery showers in the north—west will continue overnight around that area of low pressure and further south across england and wales with more rain developing and this will stagger its way eastwards and again it will be followed by sunshine and showers will continue further north

and the bulk of those will be across the north—west of scotland, frequent and heavy and it's just cold enough for wintry weather over the mountain tops. still temperatures 9—11 on wednesday so still mild. mild weather at this time of the year tends to be brought by south—westerly winds and those south—westerly winds contain a lot of moisture with cloud in these weather fronts will bring spells of rain. around areas of low pressure which will strengthen the winds as well. we keep milder weather as we head towards christmas but there is talk of colder air across northern parts of scotland so there is the potential for snow in northern scotland on christmas eve and also on christmas day but further south it's still mild and just as temperatures dropping away a little bit but still in double figures.
