from northern ireland to the mainland with pats, and so on. it is easierfor mainland with pats, and so on. it is easier for medication to flow, but it still keeps the integrity of the european union where the redline that they have open, and most importantly for the europeans, this probably opens and also for the british economy, a way to come to more agreements on such important things as finance. let us not forget, london still is the most important financial centre in europe and we do need to come to agreements on finance, on migration, and all of those things.— of those things. what you're sa in: is of those things. what you're saying is this _ of those things. what you're saying is this northern - of those things. what you're i saying is this northern ireland the changes to this could lead to further closer ties between europe and the uk on other issues such as potential services, which as you say is pretty critical to the uk economy. but the politics is by

on the hand, it seems that labour will support the deal, so in many ways rishi sunak may get her apartment but it probably would be good for him if he got it through with the dup on board and with the majority of his parliamentarians on board. majority of his arliamentarians on board. , parliamentarians on board. yes, and we shall _ parliamentarians on board. yes, and we shall wait _ parliamentarians on board. yes, and we shall wait to _ parliamentarians on board. yes, and we shall wait to see - parliamentarians on board. yes, and we shall wait to see how- and we shall wait to see how that pans out. cornelia, thank you, cornelia meyerfrom bern with her reaction. we'll have more on the trade agreements, elemental businesses, etc, later in this programme. let's get some of the day's other news. nigeria's two main opposition parties have alleged fraud in saturday's presidential election. international election observers say there's been a lack of transparency amid technical problems in counting. with provisional results declared for nearly half the 36 states, the governing party's candidate, bola tinubu, is in the lead. mexico's govenment says it has received a formal request from the united states to extradite ovidio guzman, the son ofjoaquin

"el chapo" guzman. the 32—year—old, who's accused of carrying on operations for his father's drugs empire, one of the largest drug—trafficking organisations in the world, was captured by mexican forces injanuary. hong kong's chief executive has confirmed the covid mask mandate will end on wednesday, more than three years after strict rules were imposed. the requirement forfacial coverings both indoors and outdoors will be scrapped at the same time. hong kong's mask mandate came into effect in july 2020 and had been renewed every two weeks. neighbouring macau lifted its outdoor mask requirement on monday. the international community has called for calm after israeli settlers attacked palestinian villages in the north of the occupied west bank, setting fire to houses and cars and leaving one man dead.

the rioting came in response to the killing on sunday of two jewish settlers in a village near the city of nablus where 11 palestinians were killed in an israeli raid last week. our middle east correspondent, tom bateman, has travelled to the village of hawara and sent this report. a palestinian town torched. the wrecked aftermath of a rampage by israeli settlers. hundreds poured in, looking for revenge after two of their own were shot dead. this man shows me the charred remains of his lounge. he rushed back from work trying to protect his family. translation: the worst thing is what the kids experience. i the terror and panic they feel. afterwards they were trembling in fear and sheltering in my lap, begging me to stay beside them. palestinians accused the israeli army of failing to protect them. people here are still trying to work out how to sort out all of this damage. what you get a sense of here is how

long this attack lasted. look at the number of torched cars. the burnt—out building here, buildings like this stretching way up this street. it was one of the worst mass settler attacks in years. setting the west bank ablaze. a palestinian man was shot dead. dozens were injured. it began after settlers pledged to take revenge for the killing earlier of two jewish settlers, brothers shot dead by a palestinian gunman in the town. today israel's far—right police minister toured a settlement outpost. rights groups draw a link between the ultranationalists now in government and growing settler attacks. he told people not to take the law into their own hands but called for the force of the state. translation: the enemy must be crushed. - the heads of the instigators and the heads of the terrorist organisations must be taken down by targeted eliminations. israelis mourned the two killed before news emerged of another

shooting in the west bank today, killing a 27—year—old us citizen. the israeli army defended its handling of last night's violence as international calls for calm grow. but the west bank is burning. this feels like a moment of growing danger. tom bateman, bbc news, hawara, in the occupied west bank. the republican governor of florida, ron desantis, has taken control of a special tax district that includes the vast theme park walt disney world, which had been largely self—governing. last year disney criticised some of mr desantis's conservative policies. when he signed the bill, mr desantis said, "today the corporate kingdom finally comes to an end". our north america correspondent, peter bowes, gave me more details about the bill.

this is a law that essentially ends the special status of disney, the sprawling complex around orlando that gave it special rights to self—government, so in terms of some local utilities, it has its own firefighting tax issues in the control of disney. originally the theory was to take some of the tax burden off local communities when the complex was first devised and envisaged several decades ago. but what the governor has done now is essentially to impose a board that will overall this particular self—governance situation, so it is a board that will be appointed, and we know some of the appointees are republican supporters, now conservative supporters and clearly of mr desantis taking away the self—governing power from disney. away the self-governing power from disney-— away the self-governing power

from disney. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: not so northern lights. the dazzling display being seen further south than usual. 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.

it feels like the entire country is grinding to a halt. translation: i arrived late yesterday afternoon. - i am on my way from germany. it's urgent, but we stopped here, and we can't go on. translation: we slept - in the restaurant, on chairs. there is no free accommodation. everything is taken. head further east, and romania is also experiencing a miserable end to the winter. trains have been delayed, roads have been closed and tens of thousands of people have been left without power. heavy snow brought down trees, which damaged electricity lines, and romania is also having to cope with the consequences of melting snow. combined with heavy rain, that's led to flooding in the west of the country. in this town, locals say the waters rose by a metre in less than two hours. a local school had to be evacuated, and dozens of children were ta ken to safety. for people around here, winter still has quite a sting in its tail.

tim allman, bbc news. time now for all the sport. hello, i'm paul scott at the bbc sport centre. let's start with a glitzy and glamarous night in paris, let's start with a glitzy and glamorous night in paris, where lionel messi has been named the fifa best men's player of 2022, after helping argentina to world cup success last year. messi beat his paris saint—germain teammate, and fellow world cup finalist, kylian mbappe, to the award, with ballon d'or winner karim benzema the other contenderfor the prize. the 35—year—old scored two goals in the world cup final, which argentina won on penalties against france. meanwhile, barcelona and spain star alexia putellas was named the fifa best women's player of 2022, taking the award for the second year running. it comes despite her suffering an injury, which kept her out of the women's euros last summer.

and after guiding england to the european championship on home soil, sarina wiegmann was named as fifa best women's coach. the lionesses are unbeaten in 29 matches under the dutchwoman. we have heroes now, they are all in the room. little girls have their idols, they have inspirations, and the development of the game, so many people across the world have worked so hard to get the game where it is right now, and i would like to thank the people for that because that gives the fundament of the women's game. quarter—final places are up for grabs in england's fa cup on tuesday. fulham host leeds in an all premier league clash, while there are three ties that pit championship clubs against premier league opposition. brighton travel to stoke, leicester host blackburn, while manchester city make the trip to bristol city. pep guardiola's side are still fighting for three trophies this season, and come in to the match off the back of a a—i win at bournemouth last time out. but the spaniard knows it

it's a phenomenon that never fails to impress, and some people travel hundreds of miles just to see this wondrous site. the drama usually unfolds slowly, with flashes of neon colour here and there in the sky, but when they start dancing, they really are something else. classical classical music. the northern lights have been seen as far south as oxfordshire in the uk, and some people were lucky enough to see shooting stars at the very same time. the aurora borealis is caused by solar storms on the

surface of the sun, which send out electrically charged particles. most of these particles. most of these particles are deflected away but some collide with nitrogen and oxygen in the earth's atmosphere, and when those molecules recover from the collisions they release small bursts of energy in the form of late, which is the spectacular light show that we know as the aurora borealis or northern lights. the colour of the lights depends on which gas is affected and how much energy is exchanged. the two primary gasesin exchanged. the two primary gases in the earth's atmosphere are nitrogen and oxygen. nitrogen produces purple, blue or pink light, and oxygen produces the neon green and yellow that we so often see. in the last few days, the aurora borealis has delighted hundreds of people, who have uploaded photos and videos to social media platform so that the rest of us can enjoy their beauty too. when the bbc news. yes,

please send us your photos if you caught any. i will be back with a top business stories next. hello, there. strong solar activity brought spectacular sightings of the aurora borealis during sunday night into the early hours of monday morning. the strongest aurora was across scotland, but unusually, the aurora borealis could be seen as far south as wiltshire and oxfordshire, and one of the reasons being clear skies. in fact, temperatures really fell away quite sharply, as low as —8 in highland scotland, but even —6 in parts of oxfordshire. now, it does look likely that we are going to see more cloud, and so maybe the aurora not quite as prominent as we go through the next few hours. high pressure with us, but a north—easterly flow is drifting in a lot

of cloud off the north sea, so that'll prevent temperatures from falling too far, perhaps staying above freezing. but where we've got the clearest of the skies, we could see —5 in rural, sheltered areas of scotland — maybe a touch of the aurora is possible here. but first thing on tuesday morning, we'll continue to see cloud drifting in off the north sea and a scattering of showers to the east of the pennines quite likely. some of those showers could be frequent as well, and with that brisk north—easterly wind, it will feel quite cool. the best of the sunshine once again in sheltered western areas. we will see the cloud breaking up a little from time to time, with more persistent showers arriving in the far southeast, but you've got to factor in the strength and the direction of the wind. it will feel noticeably colder, particularly on exposed east coasts. now, those showers in the southeast will drift away

during the early hours of wednesday morning, and once again, the high pressure is still with us. there'll be little in the way of change to the story, as we go through the remainder of the week. you can see on wednesday quite a lot of cloud around. still the risk of some showers drifting in off the north sea. west is best, in terms of shelter, but sunshine is really going to be at a premium, i suspect. seven to nine degrees, our overall high. looking towards the end of the week, there's not going to be that much in the way of changes. you can see the high pressure does drift a little bit further north and west and the isobars open out of touch, which means, potentially, the winds will fall just that little bit lighter, and so that means we might see a little more in the way of sunshine coming through, but largely fine and dry for the rest of the working week.

this is bbc news. i'm sally bundock with the latest business headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. after years of negotiations and four prime ministers, rishi sunak and the eu's ursula von der leyen hammer out a fresh post—brexit deal for northern ireland. the plan is to do away with some big barriers to domestic trade hampering imports from the rest of the uk. businesses see this as very positive and some of the big issues they've been raising have now been addressed. celebration in the boardroom. the uk reaches a target three years early to have more women at executive level in ftse 350 companies. running dry.
