in england and wales prepare to walk out on wednesday in a dispute over pay. jeremy clarkson says he is "horrified to have caused so much hurt" afterfacing a backlash over comments he made in a newspaper column about how he "hated" meghan markle, the duchess of sussex. and in sport — steve borthwick signs a five year deal to become england rugby's head coach — promising to "give it eveything." 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 judgment 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. a small per refugee demonstration marking the leg legal twists in the government's controversial plans to send asylum—seekers to rwanda. this morning possible adjustment handed down. thejudge said morning possible adjustment handed down. the judge said that... however the court ruled against the office when it came to the individual cases the home secretary has not properly considered...

while the home office will be pleased of thejudgment while the home office will be pleased of the judgment that their rwanda policy is lawful the policy's power as a deterrent is based on be able to ask with lists of the ruling that the home secretary did not properly consider 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 it will be allowed will be made till next month. ~ , ., ., , , month. we believe in our lawyers have told us _ month. we believe in our lawyers have told us that _ month. we believe in our lawyers have told us that we _ month. we believe in our lawyers have told us that we have - month. we believe in our lawyers| have told us that we have grounds month. we believe in our lawyers . have told us that we have grounds to carry on _ have told us that we have grounds to carry on fighting and we will carry on. carry on fighting and we will carry on this — carry on fighting and we will carry on this is — carry on fighting and we will carry

priorities. the home secretary has said it was her dream to see a flight to rwanda take off before christmas. that will not happen for many weeks or months yet. speaking in the commons in the past hour, the home secretary, suella braverman, vowed to begin sending migrants to rwanda, where their claims are intended to be processed, as soon as possible. thisjudgment this judgment thoroughly vindicates the rwanda partnership i spoke earlier— the rwanda partnership i spoke earlier today with my rwandan counterparts, the minister and we both confirmed ourjoint and steadfast resolve to deliver this partnership at scale as soon as possible — partnership at scale as soon as possible. it is what the overwhelming majority of the british people _ overwhelming majority of the british people want to see happen. the sooner— people want to see happen. the sooner it — people want to see happen. the sooner it is _ people want to see happen. the sooner it is up and running, the sooner— sooner it is up and running, the sooner we — sooner it is up and running, the sooner we will break the business

the home secretary describes today's courtjudgment as a vindication. i have to wonder whether she has read it, because it sets out evidence of serious problems in home office decision making, identify significant financial costs of this scheme, and also very limited numbers of people who will be covered. and certainly no evidence that this will act as a deterrent or address the serious problems that we face. the shadow home secretary. let's discuss today's ruling at the high court with professor catherine. she works at the refugee study centre at oxford university and at the school in berlin where she serves as co—director. thank you so much for joining us. your thoughts, first of all on this high court ruling today.

it is deeply disappointing mainly because the legal analysis is thin particularly, three key points of international law, principles that i think need deeper examination. the general risks to individuals if they are sent to rwanda, the question on penalisation, refugees should not be penalised for irregular entry or stays in countries in general. and questions about non—discrimination between different groups of refugees and that only certain refugees and up, in effect penalised or greatly disadvantaged for their mode of entry into the uk.— disadvantaged for their mode of entry into the uk. there were eight individual cases _ entry into the uk. there were eight individual cases that _ entry into the uk. there were eight individual cases that we _ entry into the uk. there were eight individual cases that we know - individual cases that we know the home secretary has been obliged to look at it again, so what is, how much do we know about what is going on with those eight cases? in the

on with those eight cases? in the ei . ht on with those eight cases? in the eight individual _ on with those eight cases? in the eight individual cases _ on with those eight cases? in the eight individual cases of- on with those eight cases? in the eight individual cases of course i on with those eight cases? in the | eight individual cases of course all of the home secretary's decisions were found to be unlawful or which is indicative of the wider systemic problems in the decision—making so it is difficult to read the ruling as a vindication. what it means for those individuals, or cases will half to be re—examined fully in the court emphasises is that any bully before any individual can be set to rwanda, deported against their wishes, their individual circumstances have to be examined question —— carefully. and there were errors in procedure and each of the cases and if that is indicative of overall problems and home office decision—making that it indicates the feasibility of anyone returning to rwanda will be in doubt. irate the feasibility of anyone returning to rwanda will be in doubt. we heard some of it from _ to rwanda will be in doubt. we heard some of it from suella _ to rwanda will be in doubt. we heard some of it from suella braverman - some of it from suella braverman there, one argument the government is making is that it is trying to

stop the crime of people smuggling. there are people we know who are benefiting financially sometimes from deaths in channel crossings. what is your take on the fact that the government says they want to stop that which is cruel and unnecessary and benefits criminal gangs? unnecessary and benefits criminal trans? , . unnecessary and benefits criminal iians? , . ., gangs? there is little evidence to su ort gangs? there is little evidence to sunport the _ gangs? there is little evidence to support the argument _ gangs? there is little evidence to support the argument that - gangs? there is little evidence to support the argument that a - gangs? there is little evidence to. support the argument that a policy like this which is very difficult to implement in any event will have any significant deterrent effect. even if that logic was acceptable, that would be logical saying we will treat one vulnerable group of people cruelly in order to deter others from making dangerousjuries. i think we know a lot these days about how refugee situations can be managed differently through mobility and safe access and the way that ukrainian refugees are being welcomes not only in the uk but across the eu is demonstrative

evidence that refugee mobility can be enabled. and then refugees don't need to have two requests smugglers. thank you very much, professor. a second woman who suffered injuries during the incident at the 02 brixton academy on thursday has sadly died. gabrielle hutchinson, who was aged 23, died in hospital in the early hours of today. she was working as one of the contracted security providers for the event that evening. let's speak to our reporter greg mckenzie who's at the 02 academy in brixton. such well—known venue, this has been a truly horrifying incident. remind people what has happened and what on earth we think the authorities went

on here. pm earth we think the authorities went on here. �* .., . on here. an iconic venue here in brixton, on here. an iconic venue here in brixton. many — on here. an iconic venue here in brixton, many artists _ on here. an iconic venue here in brixton, many artists have - on here. an iconic venue here in - brixton, many artists have performed your over the centuries and iconic venue for south—west london but on thursday night more than 4000 people attended here to an event. we were estimating more than a thousand were outside, some had tickets and some were believed to have fake ticket and were unable to get into the premises. that caused a bit of a crush and unfortunately a number of people were injured on thursday night, three people in total. three young women. sadly two of those have now died. the latest being confirmed as gabrielle hutchinson, a 23—year—old who was actually working as a security guard on thursday evening for that concert that was being staged by the attributes artist asake. she died in the early

hours of this morning and as for the first victim, she was named as 33—year—old rebecca ikumelo, a mother of two and she succumbed to her injuries on saturday morning. police are reporting witnesses and dedicated entire page on the website for people to upload video footage so they can try and determine exactly what and why this happened here outside of this iconic venue on thursday night. here outside of this iconic venue on thursday night-— thursday night. thank you, at 02 academy in _ thursday night. thank you, at 02 academy in brixton. _ 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. steve barclay has invited unions to talk this afternoon and we have learned that emergency cover will be discussed but there is no mention of pay on the agenda. this report is from 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 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. four boys who fell into an icy lake in the west midlands last week died from drowning, an inquest has heard. 10 year old jackjohnson died, along with finlay butler, who was 8, and his brother samuel who was 6; and their cousin ii year old thomas stewart. bob hockenhull was in court. today's inquest heard all four boys died from drowning, so no postmortem examinations have

been carried out to preserve their dignity. the hearing was told it was 2:34pm on sunday the 11th of 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 on how many children had fallen in. three of the boys were pulled out of babbs mill lake, onto the bank, 22 minutes after that first emergency call. the fourth boy was brought out of the water nine minutes later. detective inspectorjim edmunds told the inquest 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. its findings will be reported at the full inquest which is to take place onjuly the 6th, next year. birmingham and solihull 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. adjourning today's hearing, she said she hoped next year possibly as full inquest would help them to fully understand what had happened. 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 is going to be offered as a two—tier system. the tier 2 is the big venues, 800—plus capacity, where there may be more work done. they have the infrastructure, 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 minute's 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've got to be very conscious of some of these businesses and their financial position. some of the bigger spaces are already working towards ensuring they are compliant. we can't be completely compliant until we've got the full details. a 52—year—old man has appeared before magistrates charged with murdering a nurse and her two young children in kettering. saju chelavelel 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 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 broadcaster, jeremy clarkson, says he's "horrified" to have offended people with a column he wrote in the sun newspaper

about the duchess of sussex. in a tweet, mr clarkson insisted he was referencing the tv show, game of thrones, when he said he was dreaming of the day when meghan was publicly humiliated while people threw excrement at her. the press regulator has received more than 6—thousand game of thrones, when he said he was dreaming of the day when meghan was publicly humiliated while people threw excrement at her. the press regulator has received more than 6—thousand complaints about the column. let's get more on this with our arts and media correspondent david sillito. in his column he says he lies there grinding his teeth dreaming of the day she's made to pray naked while lumps of excrement are thrown at her, i think everyone my age thinks the same way. very clearly not. this morning 6000 and we are told rising costs will have an update of the

number of people who complained. in 2021 the total number of complaints received was 1400 so you get a sense of the reaction here. one notable person appalled by what has been said isjeremy clarkson's own daughter, emily who says she stands against everything her dad wrote about meghan markle and calling out misogyny and misogyny of women. nicola sturgeon who was also on jeremy clarkson's list of heated women was said clearly misogyny. we have had a statement from jeremy clarkson saying, oh dear i have rather put my foot in it, he said it is a clumsy reference to game of thrones, it has gone down badly, or if have cause so much hurt i shall be more careful in the future. in the future. an apology of sorts but the future. an apology of sorts but the world sorry does not appear which many people have been looking at today wondering, is this really an apology. the at today wondering, is this really an apology-— an apology. the words sorry not specifically _ an apology. the words sorry not specifically there. he _ an apology. the words sorry not| specifically there. he mentioned thousands of complaint to the

just in terms of this afternoon session, today's session what is that? what will be panning out today most likely? 50 that? what will be panning out today most likel ? ., g; :: ,�* most likely? so in about 30 minutes' time the house _ most likely? so in about 30 minutes' time the house committee _ most likely? so in about 30 minutes' time the house committee which - most likely? so in about 30 minutes' time the house committee which is l time the house committee which is made up of seven democrats and two republicans will have a meeting in which they would sit out exactly what should happen next following this comprehensive investigation that they have done into the capital of the riots. it's notjust about what happens on generally six but the events leading up to it. they believe they have shown enough evidence and testimony and footage that done his trump and his allies try to overturnjoe biden ins election victory and try to subvert democracy. there will be hoping to achieve their legal and political goals today. we expect that the reports are they are going to refer three criminal the part charges to

the department against the former president and his allies. insurrection charges included. these are rare and serious. basically, insurrection is when you try to revolt against the established government using violence and they believe they have evidence to prove that. it is important to emphasise even though they have legal goals they don't have the weight. or they can do is both on the charges to be referred to the just the department and it's up to thejustice department to take these on board. bearing in mind they have their own investigation as well. that bearing in mind they have their own investigation as well.— investigation as well. that could potentially _ investigation as well. that could potentially be — investigation as well. that could potentially be the _ investigation as well. that could potentially be the next - investigation as well. that could potentially be the next stage. i investigation as well. that could i potentially be the next stage. that means, politically, if it went that far, if it's that's phage it reaches and the government decides to press charges that those individuals would be in a criminal cookies and it be the end of their political career. would that be fair to say?

potentially, yes. it is up to the justice department whether they want to take on board once the committee comes up with it might be aspect of that investigation or witnesses that they take on board. it is also important to emphasise the aims of the committee as well. they want to set the narrative of what happened. this is aboutjudgements of history. this is aboutjudgements of history. this is aboutjudgements of history. this is about many years to come if this story and look back at this point investigators would say this is what we have found based on this evidence. one of the other political aims for the vice chair of these is aims for the vice chair of these is a listjaniejust aims for the vice chair of these is a listjanie just present aims for the vice chair of these is a list janie just present the american public, these hearings paid out on national tv like tv episodes to get americans interested. it is to get americans interested. it is to present his case that donald trump should never ever be allowed into the white case again. she has spread explicitly that his behaviour

on that day and his decisions that he made and didn't make, the way he denied the election results ofjoe biden proves he is not fit for office. trump has announced his run for presidency again and expects to get the republican nomination. it is “p get the republican nomination. it is up to the american public narrative that time to decide how much of the committee findings fits in or feed into their decision eventually. but thatis into their decision eventually. but that is also one of the key aims for the committee is to try and have that political goals. as i say, legally if those charges come to the fruition it is up to thejustice department to decide. fruition it is up to the justice department to decide. thank you so much purse — department to decide. thank you so much purse there _ department to decide. thank you so much purse there inside _ department to decide. thank you so much purse there inside the - department to decide. thank you so much purse there inside the capitol| much purse there inside the capitol building. just to tell you that those hearing that we're talking about from 6pm tonight in the next 20 minutes or so we will bring you coverage of that committee meeting. you can see special coverage of that you can watch it via the abc news

website as well or on the act. the margin was 15 percentage points. let's go live now to glasgow with our technology reporter alasdair keane. this is the owner of switzer asking people to vote on his own future? yes elon musk paid billions of pounds and puts out this question last night should he remain as the head of the company perhaps came as a surprise for some stop if he does go and he says he will abide by the results of the pole he was still on the company. so he was ultimately still be the head of the company he just won't be the ceo. he is under pressure to give up some responsibility. he has tesla as well

the car maker which has not been doing so well financially and there has been pressure from investors saying he needs to spend more time concentrating on it and improve tesla and that should be his focus. he has been looking for any bits of an out at twitter and this might be it. ., , , ., an out at twitter and this might be it. yet, as you say he might still on the company _ it. yet, as you say he might still on the company for _ it. yet, as you say he might still on the company for so _ it. yet, as you say he might still on the company for so when - it. yet, as you say he might still on the company for so when do | on the company for so when do we find out? are we waiting to hear more from him? what happens next? it's always a bit hard to tell with elon musk isn't it? yes it's always a bit hard to tell with elon musk isn't it?— it's always a bit hard to tell with elon musk isn't it? yes so far he hasn't said _ elon musk isn't it? yes so far he hasn't said anything. _ elon musk isn't it? yes so far he hasn't said anything. he - elon musk isn't it? yes so far he hasn't said anything. he is - elon musk isn't it? yes so far he - hasn't said anything. he is someone who likes it tweet at all times of the day and all times of the night and we know he was in qatar. we think he is travelling back from the world cup. we expected to get some sort of response from him as to what was going on. we haven't heard yet. we don't know who his successor will be. he intuited last night there

wasn't an obvious successor to him. so we watch very closely waiting for him to give something. and that could happen at any moment. mil could happen at any moment. all right alasdair keane thank you much. the time 17 minutes to six. had a cat who is following this at westminster. explain what is happening here and what the significance of this helen. this is the first time _ significance of this helen. this is the first time the _ significance of this helen. this is| the first time the government has taken a ppe contracted to court in this way. it had been a mediation previously with ppe med pro over the contract for medical grounds hundred and £22 million worth of awarded in june 2020. the grounds were delivered but never used and the

department for help is suing to try and get its money back plus costs. his excuse is accusing the company of ppe medical strongly rejects the claim. it accuses the government of having vasily over ruled it's on ppe and accusing the government of picking on the contracts on technicalities. it said it would demonstrate to the court it supplied it's gone so that government and with a competitive price. it was showed the utter incompetence of the department of health to procure ppe. during this period. and this is one of the contracts that was awarded through a vip lane at the start of the pandemic. so, more potential controversy there?— controversy there? yes, the high-priority _ controversy there? yes, the high-priority lien _ controversy there? yes, the high-priority lien as - controversy there? yes, the high-priority lien as it - controversy there? yes, the high-priority lien as it is - controversy there? yes, the i high-priority lien as it is known

high—priority lien as it is known which has become controversial. what you did was fast tracked companies which were identified by people who had political companies. in the terms of this covenant beneath it was financed there were this was regarded burness michelle bone she denies these allegations and say they have been unjustly attributed to her. in the past she has said she has no allegiance to this company. labour has been criticising the government for a while now about those contracts and particularly the vip lane system. this evening, the deputy leader has accused the government of hiding behind the mediation process and said ministers have finally been shamed into action

to recover taxpayers money. thank ou to recover taxpayers money. thank you helen- — the high court has ruled at 23—year—old woman has become the second person to die after being injured in a crush at a gig at london's brixton academy. the health secretary has invited three unions representing ambulance stopped to talk to tomorrow afternoon. that is before the planned walk out on wednesday in a dispute about pay.

as described the policy as i have measure after years of soaring fears. the policy has been ruled out in greater manchester. its mayor is andy burnham. he welcomed today's move but said more needs to be done to encourage people on support clip transport. 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. 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'. the film award season is under way and one early contenderfor some big prizes is called "tar". it's about a celebrated conductor —

played by cate blanchett — in the male—dominated world of classical music. our culture editor katie razzall has been speaking to cate blanchett, and to the film's director todd field. lydia tar is many things. tar is very much cate blanchett�*s movie. written specifically for her, the actor is being tipped for another oscar for her role as fictional conductor and composer lydia tar. it was such a joy to open the door to music again. ijust really lapped it up. the film is a portrait of a high achieving creative genius unravelling as she is accused of misconduct. oh, no! in this metoo story told from the perspective of the alleged perpetrator, the writer—director todd field asked questions about cancel culture and society's rush to judgment. ajudgment is something that is final and absolute and shut down and there's

no discussion possible. is there a way to step in someone else's shoes and walk around for a little bit and have a messier conversation? we may find something within that conversation that allows us to just change the way we thinkjust a tick. you understand a different perspective. yeah. we met at london's famous abbey road studios where the tar team were recording an album with the london symphony orchestra with musician and actress sophie cower playing elgar�*s cello concerto. it's got to be like one person singing their heart out. i asked blanchett if she saw her character as a predator? the word predator, even by the choice of that word, we're framing the conversation. i'm so excited for an audience to see it. will they gravitate towards the fact

that she is a woman leading one of the world's greatest orchestras? oh, ok, it's a movie about a woman in a patriarchal structure, or will they look at her past transgressions and realise in fact that you can't outrun yourself? it's not like you two are in a relationship. whether straight actors can play gay roles is a question for our times. in tar, blanchett�*s conductor is a lesbian. it's a texture of the movie, it's not what the film is about. i've played a psychic but i'm not a psychic. so i didn't think twice about that. but could there be conversation where people say i shouldn't be playing that role? there may well be, and i think that conversation is an important conversation to have. important too are the issues raised by this film. a challenging watch with a commanding performance at its heart. katie razzall, bbc news.

the roads have been a bit icy over the last few days but that was never going to be a problem for an event in liverpool which has become a festive tradition. over 100 tractors processed through the streets last night — decked out in lights, tinsel and the odd inflatable reindeer. katie barnfield was there to see it. horns they certainly brought the party. a convoy of christmas tractors driving through the streets of liverpool to bring some cheer to the children of alderhey hospital. very good. what did you think of the tractors? did you like the lights? yeah. kieran on his wheelchair with a big tractor on it. oh, so you love tractors? he loves tractors. did you see the green lights? yes, they were my favourite. that was your favourite. the convoy is the brainchild of farmer olly harrison. i visited alderhey hospital once

and there were some sick children in there at christmas and i thought it's rubbish and what can we do to make it better? i saw it done on the isle of man a few years ago and i thought we can do it bigger and better over here because there's more tractors and that's what we're doing. a lot of time has gone into it. this has got 4,000 lights on it. this is now the third year olly�*s organised the convoy and it takes weeks to plan the route and decorate the tractors. each year it raises tens of thousands in donations for alderhey and this time with more tractors than ever taking part, olly has set the biggest target yet. this year i want to raise 100,000 if possible. they want to build a new ward at the children's hospital, so it's to go towards that really and they need to raise three million so if we could raise 100,000, we're a little bit there, aren't we? farmers have come from all around the country to drive the tractors and it takes a bit of skill as i found out. oh my goodness! ooh, god! there are 110 of these tractors taking part this year and they are decked out with everything from fairy lights to snow machines and even air horns. horns honk.

we probably put about i don't know five hours on each tractor getting the lights ready. that inflatable, what is it? father christmas in a truck and i thought it looks like a tractor so, you know, close enough. we've got two big snow cannons on here. we've got a dj booth. we've got lights that are going up to the skies, skyscraper lights. we've got lights that shine off the building. it's a pretty impressive feat to get this all set up. yes, considering we only started last night at tea—time and my wife had a baby yesterday. did she really? yeah. we had to get going last night. lights on, giant snowmen inflated, it was time to set off. horns honk. and after an hour driving to liverpool, the arrival at alderhey met by some very excited spectators. it cheered them up from being in the ward all the time. it was a shock to see the way they were dancing and singing

but he wasjust happy. i didn't expect it. i did have plans to go back home to have christmas, i but that's not going to happen. they said we've got to be here for christmas. - i thought bring him down. because it is first christmas so we thought we'd do a good present for him and he loved it— and was giggling away smiling. so far they are on track to beat the £65,000 they raised last year to make a difference to the lives of these children, notjust at christmas, but all year round. katie barnfield, bbc news, liverpool. now we are edging up to the weather prospects but let me remind you at six o'clock care on bbc news you can see it live coverage of that committee hearing in washington, dc. we would have special coverage getting there from washington presented shortly by laura trevelyan
