this is bbc news. i'm sally bundock, with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the british prime minister prepares to meet the president of the european commission — on the verge of agreeing a new brexit deal for northern ireland. almost 60 people have drowned trying to reach europe, after their boat sank in rough seas, off the coat of southern italy. after their boat sank in rough seas, off the coast of southern italy. translation: we can't be abandoned by the rest of europe. this type of tragedy should have been avoided, not lived how we're having to live it today. israeli settlers in the occupied west bank set fire to palestinian homes and businesses — killing one man, after two israelis are shot dead in their car.

after k—pop and k—drama, k—reality becomes the latest south korean cultural export to win a huge global fanbase. if these kind of shows can travel outside of korea, that means more funding coming in for that show, that gives them more funding to produce a bigger show. and in hollywood, everything everywhere all at once is the big winner at this year's screen actors guild awards. a very warm welcome to the programme. and we begin here in the uk. the uk prime minister, rishi sunak, will meet the president of the european commission later for what's being described as "final talks" on a new brexit deal for northern ireland. mr sunak and ursula von der

leyen will be trying to resolve the "range of complex challenges" around the protocol during the meeting. our political editor chris mason has more. here stands the ultimate prize in all of these negotiations. this is stormont, in belfast, the home of the northern ireland assembly. getting it and an executive here up and running again would be quite a moment. doing a deal with brussels does not guarantee that, but there are other potential prizes — improving internal uk trade and resetting relations with the european union. if we can get it over the line, we're on the cusp, we've made great progress, we're not there yet, but it would be a really important deal. and just critically, a deal that — with all the best will in the world, and for all the progress that others have made — that no prime minister before had been able to secure. and senior voices in the eu are sounding upbeat too. i believe there's been very significant progress made, and what was the purpose of it all? _ to respond to the issues that have been raised. so, what can we expect in this proposed new deal?

a plan to make trade easier between england, scotland and wales, and northern ireland. it looks like goods that are staying in northern ireland will be able to pass through a green or express lane, and those things going on into the republic of ireland, in the eu, will have to be checked via a red lane. it's also expected that there'll be a new arrangement about tax. northern ireland follows some eu rules on this and, in particular, around vat, and that is a real frustration to some. then there is how the rules are enforced. this involves the european court ofjustice, and critics of the protocol want to get rid of the role of the eu's court. that seems unlikely, but we can perhaps expect some sort of promise to talk up other ways of sorting out disagreements first. and then there is also the issue of northern ireland having a say on ongoing rule changes that the eu makes, something i expect the leaders will talk about tomorrow

and the deputy prime minister talked about today. if there are any new rules that would apply in relation to northern ireland, it must be right that there's a northern irish democratic check on that. and again, that would mark a significant shift. are you going - to resign over it? and hand your- passport in as well? this prominent brexiteer, steve baker, now a minister, is giving it the thumbs—up. others are rather less positive. we're not stupid. what we want is a situation where eu law is expunged from northern ireland, so it is treated on the same basis as england, scotland and wales. politically, it's vital for downing street there aren't too many conservative mps who share that view once a deal is done, even though labour say they'll back the prime minister. if he's able to pull off a deal, we will support it, because we think it will be an improvement on what we've got at the moment.

let's look at the detail in the coming days, but all credit to rishi sunak if he does that. tomorrow is shaping up to be quite the day. some are excited, others are nervous. the democratic unionists are quiet. this isn't the end of the story. is our political reporter chris mason, when he talks about today, it is actually later today. nearly 60 people trying to reach europe are known to have drowned after their boat sank in rough seas off southern italy. at least 12 were children, including a baby and young twins.

)it�*s thought the boat, which left izmir in eastern turkey three days ago, was said to be overloaded with close to 150 people. vincent mcaviney has more. on saturday night, another tragedy in the mediterranean. by dawn, this debris was all that was left of a migrant boat that broke up in rough seas just off the calabrian coast. it's thought the vessel left izmir, in eastern turkey, three days prior, with as many as 150 crowded aboard, but only around 80 survivors washed up ashore near the town of crotone. rescue workers struggled in the conditions to rescue bodies from the waves. dozens, including a baby, are known to have drowned. the regional governor visited the scene. translation: calabria is - a region that welcomes people. last year, we welcomed 18,000 migrants, but we can't be abandoned by the rest of europe. this type of tragedy should have been avoided, not lived how we're having to live it today and how we will live it again in the future. reacting to the weekend's loss of life, the head

of the eu commission, ursula von der leyen, said: "eu countries must redouble their efforts to tackle the migration crisis in the central mediterranean." among passengers were migrants from iran, pakistan and afghanistan. despite the dangers, italy is one of the main landing points for people trying to reach europe in small boats. almost 12,000 migrants have already arrived by sea in italy this year. in 2022, more than 105,000 successfully made the crossing, with over 1,300 dead or missing. although high, those numbers are down on the 2016 peak, when there were over 180,000 arrivals by sea. the government blames people traffickers and has pledged to stop the boats. promised safe passage to a better life, the victims of these gangs now lie beneath these sheets. for the survivors, like hundreds of thousands before them, they face an uncertain future. vincent mcaviney, bbc news.

let's get some of the day's other news. the first results have been announced from nigeria's tightest election since the end of military rule in 1999. more results are not expected until later today. the election went more smoothly than previous polls, but delays and attacks on some polling stations meant voting was postponed until sunday in parts of the country. organisers of protests in mexico against reform of the electoral agency say half a million people have taken to the streets across the country. they say plans to slash the institute's funding are an attack on democracy. the uk's energy regulator, ofgem, will announce a new price cap today — to take effect from april. analysts are expecting a drop of around one thousand pounds, but also believe households could see bills rise by 20% because of changes to support provided by the government.

again we will have more detail on that story in 20 minutes, in our business coverage. israeli settlers in the occupied west bank have torched palestinian buildings, killing one palestinian man. the rampage followed the shooting dead of two israelis in a village near nablus. residents alleged that israeli soldiers helped the settlers carry out the revenge attack. aaron miller — a seniorfellow at the carnegie endowment for international peace — said this latest unrest follows a rare meeting between israeli and palestinian security chiefs injordan. a good, positive first step. it's given additional traction by the fact that it's now anchored by both thejordanians and the egyptians. and the americans, who clearly, i think, were in favour of the idea and may well have pushed it. the question really is, will it hold? and the politics on both sides, i think, suggests that if it

holds, it will only be a temporary respite, perhaps to get the parties through their very sensitive ramadan/passover season that is coming next month. i just don't think that the palestinian authority has the credibility, or the will, or the capacity to deal with israeli security requirements. and the government of israel are the most extreme and fundamentalist in the nation's history, it's committed to annexation in all but name of the west bank, and binding jerusalem permanently to israel proper. so without a political horizon and a set of mutually reinforcing commitments, monitored by an external party, i think the chances that this will hold are very slim. a new act raising the legal age for marriage in england and wales has come into force today. it means that 16 and 17 year olds will no longer be allowed to marry or enter a civil partnership, even if they have parental consent.

let's talk more about this now with our news reporter stephanie prentice. what has changed? from today, it will be a criminal offence for children to get married and, as you said, the consent age will now be set at 18 in england and wales. this is a devolved matter so the laws will stay the same in northern ireland and scotland, they are currently set at 16, and previously here, we had 16 as well and you could get married as long as you said you had parental consent. so as long as you said you had parental consent.— as long as you said you had parental consent. so why have they made _ parental consent. so why have they made this _ parental consent. so why have they made this change? - parental consent. so why have they made this change? the i they made this change? the government _ they made this change? the government have _ they made this change? tie: government have said this is part of their ongoing commitment to tackle violence against women and girls. they say it will help prevent forced child marriages. they have poor outcomes in terms of their data for girls in particular, there are links to things like domestic abuse, leaving education systems early and having poor mental and physical health outcomes. 50 having poor mental and physical health outcomes.— health outcomes. so what happens _ health outcomes. so what happens in _ health outcomes. so what happens in england - health outcomes. so what happens in england and i health outcomes. so what - happens in england and where is from today if you ignore this? well, it is now a criminal act to help or assist in a child

marriage and the government says that is whether the marriages. not on whether the participants are willing or not. anyone doing so could face up not. anyone doing so could face up to seven years in prison. so the people who could be looking at seven years of prison are those who enable young people to get married. so it is not just parents who could be pushing them into this, it is the people who conduct the wedding as well.— the people who conduct the wedding as well. yes, anyone who can be — wedding as well. yes, anyone who can be seen _ wedding as well. yes, anyone who can be seen to _ wedding as well. yes, anyone who can be seen to be - wedding as well. yes, anyone | who can be seen to be helping facilitate this occurring. stephanie, interesting, thank you very much indeed. you are with bbc news. still to come. a british reality tv star takes on an american youtube and wins one of the most hyped up matches in the history of boxing. first, the plates slid gently off the restaurant tables. then suddenly, the tables, the chairs and people crashed sideways and downwards. it was just a matter

of seconds, as the ferry lurched onto her side. the hydrogen bomb. on a remote pacific atoll, the americans had successfully tested a weapon whose explosive force dwarfed that of the bomb dropped on hiroshima. i had heard the news earlier, and so, my heart went bang, bang, bang! the constitutional - rights of these marchers are their rights as citizens of the united states, - and they should be protected| even in the right to test them out, so that they don't get their heads broken and are sent to hospital. this religious controvery, i know you don't want to say too much about it, but does it worry you that it's going to boil up when you get to the states? well, it worries me, yes, but i hope everything will be all right in the end of the day. this is bbc news. the latest headlines:

question. brendan has been very emotional, it has been very compelling, even if in some ways disturbing. austin butler has already won in a way, of the woods he has won until now including bafta, but he has charm to this hollywood community, he has done everything just right and to me, his performance is sensational, but that is not to take anything away from brendan. so it sort of upset the predictions, let's say. it's going to keep us guessing, always a pleasure to talk to you, thank you so much for your reaction to those awards and of course, the oscars are not far away at all. but now, let's bring you the latest sports news. i'm paul scott at the bbc sport centre. manchester united have won the first english domestic trophy of the season beating newcastle united 2—0 at wembley in the league cup final. brazilian midfielder casa mio scored the first, heading home

reporter kal sajad says it was a very popular event. it was probably the most high—profile eight—round contest in boxing history. these two have had a twitter back and forth, social media spats for the last two years. you've gotjake paul, who's a youtuber with a huge social media following, 22 million followers on instagram. you've got tommy fury, brother of tyson fury, of love island fame. so these are two big social media celebrities, but they can also box a little. fury coming from a fighting family and jake paul, he started boxing two years ago, but he can, he knows the fundamentals of the sport and he's showcased that so far. so it was a big fight in the world of two people from the worlds of entertainment, but they could also box a little. a lot going on in business, we mentioned the northern ireland protocol, could there be a brexit breakthrough today? and electricity bills, could they

be about to change as well? and a rescue package for a gig a factory in the north of finland. all that to come here next on bbc news. —— the north of england. hello. we've had reports of spectacular views of the aurora borealis across many parts of the uk, from northern scotland all the way to southern wales and even southern england. and here's another beautiful picture from the weekend. this time, of cornwall, a beautiful horizon of those aqua colours. 0k, how about the weather for the week ahead? mainly dry, some sunshine and night frosts. pretty much what we've had for quite a few days now. with that high pressure firmly in charge of our weather. it's here on monday and it's here to stay. so, let's look at the forecast, then, for the early hours of monday — clearing skies across scotland and also southwestern parts of england. so, early on monday morning, there will be a frost here. but elsewhere, where we have that thicker cloud —

certainly northern and central england — in most towns and cities, it should be frost—free. for example, four degrees in liverpool and about that in norwich as well. now, the cloud cover will vary during the course of monday. the best of the sunshine will be across some western parts of scotland, maybe the south coast of england too. but also, one or two showers are possible anywhere from lincolnshire through the midlands. possibly wales. now, the temperatures will be between around eight and 10 celsius. but it is a noticeable wind, it's a dry wind too. so it will feel a little colder than that — closer to around 5 degrees, i think, across many parts of the uk. so, that's monday. how about tuesday? little change, the high pressure still very close to central scotland. just subtle changes in the wind direction, and actually the possibility of a few showers, perhaps more persistent ones, at least for a time, across southeastern parts of england. they won't last for very long, though.

and you can see them here carried by that breeze out of the northeast. again, very similar temperatures, eight in glasgow and around nine expected in plymouth. and it will feel a little colder than that. so, here's the weather map for wednesday and for thursday. that high pressure is not expected to budge. so, lots of dry weather and more of the same to come. let's have a look at the outlook, then, as we head into the weekend and even into next week. yes, there's a possibility of some rain maybe heading our way. it's a long way off still and the chances are the forecast next monday will change. that's it from me. bye.
