affecting the health service on consecutive days this week. today, thousands of nurses in england, wales and northern ireland have gone out on their second day of a 12—hour strike, in a protest over pay. some services, such as urgent cancer care, have continued. and tomorrow, ambulance staff in england and wales will walk out too, a move that's prompted a health minister to advise people not to undertake "risky activity" such as contact sport to avoid requiring emergency care. in a moment, we'll be looking at who will be affected and how during the ambulance strike, but first here's our health editor hugh pym. calling in the military, service personnel were being trained to handle patients in support of ambulance services while strikes are held tomorrow. you ambulance services while strikes are held tomorrow. you get ambulance services while strikes are held tomorrow. ., ., ambulance services while strikes are held tomorrow. ., ., held tomorrow. you get round there. 600 in total— held tomorrow. you get round there. 600 in total stepping _ held tomorrow. you get round there. 600 in total stepping in _ held tomorrow. you get round there. 600 in total stepping in to _ held tomorrow. you get round there. 600 in total stepping in to help, - 600 in total stepping in to help, including driving vehicles with paramedics and doctors. they are

for example strokes. category three is classed as urgent, and includes the late stages of labour. and category four is for less urgent calls, for example vomiting we contacted each ambulance trust striking tomorrow to ask which of these calls union members will respond to. not all of them replied, and some didn't give specific details. but here are a few examples from those who did. east midlands ambulance service told us that their striking union members would respond to all immediately life—threatening category one calls. in some circumstances they would also respond to the most serious category two calls: some strokes, gynaecology emergencies where a mother or baby is at risk, road traffic collisions where a patient is trapped, and children aged five and under who are unwell. the welsh ambulance service has a similar categorisation of calls to those in england. they told us their union members would be responding to all immediately life—threatening "red" calls.

and selected "amber 1" calls for "particular complaints", which they describe as those calling with chest pains, strokes and gynaecology emergencies. they will also respond to road traffic accidents. and in the north east of england it depends which union staff are from — gmb members will only respond to life threatening calls, unison members will also respond to some category two calls. let's speak now to our political correspondent iain watson who's at westminister for us. we saw a real hodgepodge of provision for people across the country. is there any sign that ministers might adjust their stance over pay? in ministers might ad'ust their stance over -a ? ., ., ., over pay? in a word, no. the prime minister was _ over pay? in a word, no. the prime minister was speaking _ over pay? in a word, no. the prime minister was speaking to _ over pay? in a word, no. the prime minister was speaking to a - over pay? in a word, no. the prime minister was speaking to a senior i minister was speaking to a senior committee of mps here at westminster this afternoon and he said that pei had already been set by what he called an independent pay review body, taking into account inflation, which is a very polite way of

telling the unions to clear off. the question is, can this be politically sustainable on the eve of these ambulance strikes? 0pinion polls are suggesting there is support for the nhs strikes amongst the public. a whole range of conservative former ministers have come out and called for the prime minister to rethink. but they are by no means representative of the entire conservative party. i have spoken to people who are in no mood for compromise. 0ne people who are in no mood for compromise. one for a very senior conservative minister said that rishi sunak has to stand firm, otherwise it is, quote, game over for him. so is there a way through this at all? it seems to be that insofar as there is a strategy, it is one of the classic carrot and stick approaches. the carrot in this case would be the fact that discussions are about to get under way on next year's pay award and there are heavy hints being dropped that if the unions engage with that process, the award might be more generous. the stick if you like, new

trade union laws are coming in in january and i have been told they may be extended to specify the level of emergency cover that you were talking about earlier in the nhs in the event of a future strike. but let's remember that none of this is going to solve the disputes right before us now. ministers are saying the action will have a very big impact and it is highly likely, in fact all but certain, that new strike dates will be announced. ion strike dates will be announced. ian watson reporting from westminster. thank you very much. and you can find more information on the kinds of emergencies that ambulances will be responding to by going to the bbc news website. train drivers are to stage another strike in the new year in their dispute over pay. members of the aslef union at 15 rail companies will take industrial action on january 5th. their action comes on top of strikes

planned by members of the rmt katie austen is at euston. we have got a full calendar of strike action, is thisjust got a full calendar of strike action, is this just the latest? yes, there is continuous disruption for the next few weeks and many passengers will have already noticed the impact of the rmt�*s overtime ban which began on sunday and lasts until the 2nd of january. which began on sunday and lasts until the 2nd ofjanuary. that until the 2nd of january. that means reduced services and cancellations in some places even when there is no strike on. members of the rmt union who work at network rail will begin a fresh strike at 6pm on christmas eve and that will last until early on the 27th of december. the big impact there is that services will wind down or stop for the day a lot earlier than normal on christmas eve, so do check those last train times if you do have to travel on the 24th. then when we go into the new year there are 248 our walk—outs

planned by members of the rmt union who work at 14 train companies and network rail, both in that first week of january. that is in the ongoing dispute over pay and jobs and working conditions. then it has just been announced today that thousands of train drivers who are members of another union, aslef, which represents most train drivers, they will walk out at 15 train companies on thursday the 5th of january. that is sandwiched in between those two rmt strikes, meaning five solid days of strike action in a row and that whole week, that whole first week of january, will see extensive disruption across the rail network. i have no news to bring you of any updates, any developments, towards these disputes being resolved. but for now we are heading into a new year, but it looks like there is no respite in store for rail passengers. thank you very much. — store for rail passengers. thank you very much, katie. _ a 97—year—old german woman

who worked as a secretary in a nazi concentration camp has been convicted for her role in the murder of more than 10,000 people. irmgard furchner was given a two—year suspended sentence for charges which included aiding and abetting murder in what could be one of the last trials for crimes committed during the nazi era. here's caroline hawley. wheeled in to hear the verdict against her in what could be one of the very last holocaust trials, irmgard furchner, herface blurred by order of the court, a blanket over her lap. almost eight decades ago she was a typist in the camp, a secretary to the commandant. but thejudge rejected her lawyer's argument that she didn't know about the killings and ruled she was complicit in the murder of more than 10,000 people. translation: it is easy to say she was just a secretary, but the secretary had an important role in the bureaucracy of a concentration camp. in all, over the course of the second world war an estimated 65,000 prisoners died in the stuthoff camp in nazi occupied poland in horrific circumstances. they were killed in its gas chamber, hanged and shot or succumbed

to starvation and disease. irmgard furchner was only 18 and 19 at the time. she was tried in a special juvenile court which, together with her age now, presumably accounts for the leniency of the sentence. manfred said he was held in a concentration camp and he would not want an elderly woman to go to jail. a two—year suspended sentence is what you would expect for shoplifting or an amateur burglar who didn't commit any serious offence, but not for someone who was found to be complicit in the murder of more than 10,000 inmates. it sounds incredibly insufficient. the now 97—year—old had tried to evade justice, calling a cab from her care home at the start of the trial and going on the run before she was arrested.

international lawyers say her case sends a signal to anyone who commits war crimes anywhere. you sends a signal to anyone who commits war crimes anywhere.— war crimes anywhere. you need to be aware that forever, _ war crimes anywhere. you need to be aware that forever, for _ war crimes anywhere. you need to be aware that forever, for the _ war crimes anywhere. you need to be aware that forever, for the rest - war crimes anywhere. you need to be aware that forever, for the rest of - aware that forever, for the rest of your natural life, there is a possibility that there could be a tap on the shoulder, an investigation and prosecution and that applies equally in relation to the crimes that are plainly being committed today on the territory of ukraine. the young soldiers involved in that and the decision—makers know that for the rest of their lives they are exposed to the risk of a tap on the shoulder. modern germany is still grappling with the darkness of its past. the public prosecutor said this was a trial of outstanding historical importance, which serves as a record. it comes at a time when holocaust denial is on the rise. caroline hawley, bbc news. argentina's victorious world cup team has arrived back on home soil. they were greeted by thousands of fans who had waited up all night

to witness their return. the argentinian government has declared today a public holiday. 0ur south america correspondent katy watson is in the capital buenos aires. i don't think anybody was in any doubt how keen argentina was to bring the trophy home but the level of excitement and emotion is just unbelievable. people here have travelled from far across the country and the whole of argentina is revelling in the fact that their footballers are the best in the world. cheering. argentina's champions are home to much fanfare and excitement. thousands waited up to greet them in the early hours, not wanting to miss this chance to see the megastars. argentina has never seen anything like it, an estimated 4 million people came out onto the streets of the capital, the country's biggest party in its history. in true argentinian style the steaks and sausages were slapped on the barbecue from

early in the morning. people dressed in lionel messi's number ten shirt. this world cup has made him a national hero, standing alongside diego maradona, and argent in of argentine footballing fame. in it's amazing, it's amazing. i don't think any country has lived through what we are living now. nobody is partying like we are right now. it's nice to have a little happiness, there are so many bad things happening in our country, it was special to have this moment from the world cup team. they gave us hope. it's amazing, it's something that i will talk with my sons and grandsons forever. the team making their way towards the centre slowly, a route made harder by the sheer number of fans. the celebrations after the final on sunday were massive, but today it is even bigger.

it's an outpouring of pride that i don't think even the authorities were prepared for. messi was an inspiration but the whole team is being celebrated. he is proud of the brighton & hove albion player coming home with the trophy. translation: , ., , ., , translation: he started playing here at the a . e translation: he started playing here at the are of translation: he started playing here at the age of six. _ translation: he started playing here at the age of six. today _ translation: he started playing here at the age of six. today english - at the age of six. today english football is the greatest in the world where the best players are and thankfully clubs that have been coming for argentinian footballers which is wonderful because it opens the doorfor other which is wonderful because it opens the door for other players. back to the party of extraordinary proportions. the country battered by economic crisis, this has been a world cup to remember, allowing argentinians to park their worries and really celebrate success. katie watson, bbc news, one 0siris.

our top story this evening... nurses stage their second 12—hour strike as health leaders warn they cannot guarantee patient safety during more strikes this week. coming up... england beat pakistan to inflict a rare test series defeat on pakistan's home turf. coming up in sportsday on the bbc news channel... golfers who have defected to the controversial liv series will be allowed to play at the masters next april after organisers at augusta decided not to change their rules. among the millions of people who escaped from ukraine after the russian invasion were children and young people with disabilities, some of them profound. now the government of ukraine has come under criticism from the united nations for insisting that they remain in institutions in their country of refuge instead of with theirfamilies.

over the summer, a bbc news team exposed a care system in ukraine that neglected and abused thousands of disabled people. they found disabled adults living in cots, and children tethered to benches in its network of orphanages. 0ur correspondent danjohnson reports now from poland, where some disabled ukrainian refugees are now living in better conditions, despite not being at home. when i first saw them, it was a huge shock for me cos they were in terrible condition. these are the young disabled ukrainians of kharkiv as they arrived in poland soon after the start of the war — evacuated from an institutional care home in the east of the country. they were so malnourished, two didn't survive. they were really skinny at the beginning. i didn't think it was because of the war, because they came to poland

at the end of february, so it was just the beginning of the war, so it couldn't be that. now they have new opportunities for better care and proper therapy, one—on—one support that just wasn't available in ukraine. which means ivan's world is expanding. he's been lifted from his bed for the first time at the age of 20. and look at lily, on herfeet and taking her first steps aged 11. and 0ksana is interacting more and finally being heard. they speak to me more, they smile more, they like to hold my hands, which is awesome. i love that. are you worried, then, that if they went back to ukraine, some of that might be lost? of course, of course, i'm afraid of that. this is what they would be returning to, a system of abuse and neglect which we exposed six months ago, a network of care homes

where disabled children are locked away and even tied down. and despite reaching poland, these young people can't escape the ukrainian system. their own government insists, even in other countries, they are held together like this. the united nations is concerned an outdated system is spreading. these kids have not got the emotional attachment that is needed, they experience high levels of anxiety. in fact, it is contrary to all international children's rights. we must take the necessary steps to change this policy. polish officials had to reopen this abandoned psychiatric hospital to house the refugees. this one here is for sort ofa girlabout 12. lee and chris have made life better here, bringing donations from the uk.

lee filmed this on his first visit in april. since then, he's seen this place slowly improve and these young people develop. the sensory room they fitted out has really helped. you can see the difference? oh, 100%, from what it was to what they are now, it is positively changed for these children's lives. it is better than it was, better than what they left behind, but this is still restricting. if these young people stay here longer term, do you think they would ever be able to have an independent life? 0k, we are doing a greatjob, but what kid doesn't want to have family? and whatever strides they are making, ukraine still holds these children back, denying them a chance of the love and freedom of family life. danjohnson, bbc news, poland.

now a look at some other stories making the news today. severe weather conditions in iceland have left passengers stranded at the international airport. among them are more than 1000 british travellers trying to return to the uk. there were no outbound flights yesterday and at one stage the road connecting the airport to the capital was impossible. authorities say it is uncertain whether people will get home on time for christmas. afghanistan's education ministry says women will be suspended from universities until further notice. the move is due to take effect immediately, further restricting women's access to formal education. girls are already excluded from secondary schools. ukraine's president, volodymyr zelensky, has made an unannounced visit to the eastern city of bakhmut, which has seen intense fighting against russian forces. he met troops and handed out awards to soldierxs —— he met troops and handed

out awards to soldiers. jeremy clarkson's newspaper column in the sun in which he declared the duchess of sussex should be paraded naked and have excrement thrown at her has prompted the highest number of complaints ever received by the industry's regulator. the independent press standards 0rganisation said there had been more than 17,500 complaints, more than the totalfor the more than 17,500 complaints, more than the total for the whole of last year. terry hall — one of the defining voices of british pop music in the 19705 and 80s with his band the specials, has died after a brief illness at the age of 63. the band were at the forefront of the ska revival which swept the uk, achieving seven consecutive top 10 singles including too much too young and ghost town. terry hall left the specials in 1981 to form fun boy three, before going on to collaborate with other artists. 0ur music correspondent mark savage looks back at his life. the specials emerged

from coventry at the end of the 19705, bringing black and white musicians together at a time of racial tension. # why must you record my phone calls?# fronted by terry hall, their music was upbeat but socially conscious, and their first seven singles made the top ten, culminating in this. # this place is coming like a ghost town # bands won't play no more # too much fighting on the dance floor # ghost town, released in 1981 as riots spread and unemployment soared across the uk, and terry hall's downbeat delivery captured the despondency. # this town is coming like a ghost town # why must the youth fight against themselves?# after ghost town, hall formed another band, fun boy three. # you can try hard don't mean a thing # their songs were often lighter, but hall didn't shy away from more difficult topics, one song dealt with his abduction and sexual abuse at the age of 12. and that's when my mental health problems appeared. and in that period, the only thing that i could do was take valium at 14.

although the episode left hall with lifelong depression, music was a solace. he rejoined the specials in 2008, and a decade later, the band scored theirfirst ever number one album. hall said it was a long time coming. in a statement on monday night, the band said hall had died after a brief illness. neville staple, who sang with him in both the specials and fun boy three, said the news was a shock. it's really hit me hard. we fronted the specials and fun boy three together, making history. i send my condolences to his wife and family. # you've done too much, much too young # missed he will be, but his legacy from a golden age of political pop will never be forgotten. # you've done too much, much too young # and now you're married with a son # when you should

be having fun with me # the musician, terry hall, who's died at the age of 63. england's cricketers have become the first touring side to win three matches in a test series in pakistan. they completed a clean sweep, winning the final game by 8 wickets in karachi. in fact, they've won more matches in pakistan in the past three weeks, than they've managed in history. joe wilson has the details. the final steps, the concluding runs of england's extraordinary year. here it was again, the invention and the confidence, which was too much for pakistan in this series. all led by ben stokes, always positive, always pushing. 38 minutes of tuesday morning, that is all england needed to reach the target. 82 not out for ben duckett, just one of england's successes on this tour, there with his captain. and here is the context. pakistan had never lost a series 3—0 on home soil before. they have now. the way in which we speak and i have spoken, obviously, since i've done this role it's almost just not worrying about the result and just going out and playing and expressing ourselves as a team and trying to get ourselves the best chance of winning

and always thinking like that. so i guess winning 3—0 it proves that it can work on the odd occasion. well, it's almost every occasion. this trophy is substantial. the change in england's team is phenomenal. they began this year in australia, remember? absolutely humbled in defeat. they finished the year with nine test victories since the change in captain, coach and mentality. that is 18—year—old rehman ahmed in the centre of this team. winners represent the present and with genuine ambition for the future. time for a look at the weather. here's stav. we had a brief respite in the rain across southern and eastern parts of the country. it was quite a nice day. next few days, low pressure

dominates, we will continue to see quite a bit of rain, particularly across the south and it'll stay mild. the pressure chart over the next few days, low pressure to the north—west currently, further areas of low pressure, this one moving on wednesday, thursday, this one is friday's pressure, more substantial bringing heavy rainfall at times. 0ur air source bringing heavy rainfall at times. 0urairsource coming in bringing heavy rainfall at times. 0ur air source coming in from the south—west hence the milder theme. heading through tonight, dry for a while for england and wales, then an area of rain will cushion from the south—western areas. no pressure sitting to the north—west mean scotland and northern ireland will stay blustery with frequent showers. temperatures from three to seven celsius, which is milder than we expect this time of year. for wednesday, that rain across the south—east and east anglia, that clears away the not a bad day for england and wales, just a few showers pushing into the south—west in the afternoon. northern ireland and scotland, close to low pressure, so another blustery one with sunny spells and scattered showers. temperature similar to today, around

nine to 12 celsius.
