proceedings are now live so we can't say what happened. needless to say it's been an extensive search, 200 officers involved in members of the public, as well. you heard there from detective superintendent bassford his thanks for the help they've had from the public notjust in the search button locating the couple who have been on the run since the first weeks of january. but clearly that's not the outcome anybody who's been following the story would've wanted, and our hearts go out to the extended family on that development from brighton this evening. we will of course continue to cover the breaking news from brighton, i'll hand you to outside source. multiple carriages came off the tracks, and intern caught fire. the extent of the destruction became clear in daylight.

the front carriages of the passenger train were mostly destroyed. many of the victims are thought to be university students. survivors describe panicked scenes as they tried to escape. let's hear from one. translation: we broke the windows with our backs- _ translation: we broke the windows with our backs. while _ translation: we broke the windows with our backs. while i _ translation: we broke the windows with our backs. while i personally - with our backs. while i personally remember is feeling a very strong break, and suddenly there were sparks and flames on the sides of the windows. then a sudden stop. that made us all panic, we just wanted to get out as soon as possible, so we tried to break the glass in the windows. what we saw in front of us was chaos. i didn't see anything else. we broke the windows and we got out. let's look at what we else know. more than 70 people are in hospital, six in a critical condition. police have arrested a local station master in charge of signalling. and in response to the tragedy, greece has begun three days of national mourning. greek peime minister kyriakos mitsotakis visited the site, where he was briefed on the rescue operation. —— the greek prime minister. he promised to get to the bottom of the tragedy.

them warm. you need to keep them awake. we phoned theirfamily to them warm. you need to keep them awake. we phoned their family to let them know that they were at least alive and injured, so they could come from their cities and go and find them later. and that's what was happening, we were calling people's mothers, sisters, siblings, waking people up from their beds just to inform them there's been a tragedy. more than 200 people who were unhurt or suffered minor injuries were taken by bus to thessaloniki, but some relatives still can't locate their loved ones. let's hear from a father trying to find his son and a friend. translation: we want to see if they are inside, that _ translation: we want to see if they are inside, that is _ translation: we want to see if they are inside, that is all _ translation: we want to see if they are inside, that is all we _ translation: we want to see if they are inside, that is all we ask. - translation: we want to see if they are inside, that is all we ask. and - are inside, that is all we ask. and of course. — are inside, that is all we ask. and of course, we want all those responsible to pay for this mess, this greek— responsible to pay for this mess, this greek mass. trains derailing in 2023? _ this greek mass. trains derailing in 2023? it's — this greek mass. trains derailing in 2023? it's insane. i'm joined now by alexia kalaitzi. she's a journalist who works for

the greek public broadcaster, ert. before we talk about what happened in terms of this tragedy in greece, just in terms of the numbers of people missing, can you bring us up—to—date with where we are? because we saw that father they are still looking for his son. i've got a feeling that we just dropped the line to alexia, a greekjournalist who's working for the greek public broadcaster ert. i'll see if we can get back to her, but i've got a feeling that at the moment, we can't — or potentially we can, technology is on our side. alexia, i hope you can hear me now. ijust wanted to start with you bringing us up—to—date in terms of whether we know everybody�*s accounted for now?

we know that there are reports of about 40 people dead from the accident, and there are a few families that have not yet found their loved ones. there are people, parents especially who are looking for their children. so parents especially who are looking for their children. 50 it parents especially who are looking for their children.— for their children. so it still --eole for their children. so it still people unaccounted - for their children. so it still people unaccounted for, i for their children. so it still. people unaccounted for, and for their children. so it still - people unaccounted for, and we for their children. so it still _ people unaccounted for, and we were hearing how a lot of the railway system is still manually operated, how phone calls, text messages are used between station masters and train drivers — how does this work? exactly, the labour unions have actually warned everybody about this failure months ago, saying that we have an obsolete train system. actually they said that there is a total lack of any smart systems

safeguarding the security of the greek railway, and they also said that they do not have personnel to operate this kind of system. so they are understaffed. so these are very serious allegations, and there are people confirming the actually, we do not have this kind of oxnard system, leaving no room for error. so the station manager is also a very smart way to cover the chronic deficiencies of our system. ijust deficiencies of our system. i 'ust wonder if you i deficiencies of our system. i 'ust wonder if you could i deficiencies of our system. i 'ust wonder if you could help i deficiencies of our system. i 'ust wonder if you could help us h deficiencies of our system. i just wonder if you could help us to i wonder if you could help us to understand why this is possible in the 21st century? how was the system never updated, why wasn't that potentially arguably a priority? bureaucracy, many organisations being involved in operating the railway — there are many, so there's no specific organisations to blame.

everything is quite complicated, and i think this will be the new target from the government to actually separate who does what, so there will be responsibilities, and finally we will modernise this system. actually the minister said that despite his efforts to modernise the railway system, he could not prevent this kind of tragedy. late could not prevent this kind of traced .~ ~' ., could not prevent this kind of traced .~ ~ ., , tragedy. we know the country has three da s tragedy. we know the country has three days of _ tragedy. we know the country has three days of national _ tragedy. we know the country has three days of national mourning, l three days of national mourning, just talk us through the feelings, the sense of shock in the country, because people are still looking for their loved ones amongst all this — their loved ones amongst all this — the country must be in a state of shock? it the country must be in a state of shock? . �*. the country must be in a state of shock? , �* , . , shock? it is, it's the deadliest train accident _ shock? it is, it's the deadliest train accident in _ shock? it is, it's the deadliest train accident in living - shock? it is, it's the deadliest i train accident in living memory. shock? it is, it's the deadliest - train accident in living memory. but the shock and sorrow is now becoming angen the shock and sorrow is now becoming anger. so we have the frustrations,

and people in athens are asking someone to take responsibility, they are asking for this system to change, for the railway to be more modernised again. so there are people who deeply believe that this was much more than a human error, there needs to be changes there. alexia from ert, thank you so much for talking us through this devastating period for greece. to nigeria now — where the electoral commission has declared the governing party candidate, bola tinubu, the winner of saturday's disputed presidential election. it means the former lagos governor achieves his life—long ambition of heading africa's most populous democracy and biggest oil exporter. but peter obi, the leader of opposition labour party who came third, says he will challenge

the result in court. mr tinubu was handed the official certificate formalising his election victory in a ceremony earlier. there, he called on his rivals and their supporters to "join hands" with him and begin the task of rebuilding the nation. the president—elect received 36.6% of the total number of votes, leaving him comfortably ahead of his main rival atiku abubakar, who polled 29%, and labour's peter obi with 25% of the vote. according to official results, voter turnout was 27%, one of the lowest since the end of military rule in 1999. the election results have not gone down well with everyone amid allegations of fraud. let's hear some of the reaction on the streets of the capital, abuja. i personally am not happy. ifeel

and allegations is the new electronic voting system, known as bvas introduced by the independent national electoral commission — or inec — which was supposed to make the manipulation of results more difficult and the polls more transparent. but reports of the widespread inability of electoral staff to upload results from the polling stations to inec�*s server has helped fuel allegations of a conspiracy allegations of a possible collusion by inec to fix the outcome. bolanle olukanni is a tv host and documentary—maker in nigeria. shejoins me live now from lagos. you've been very vocal on your social media feeds, saying you have concerns about the electoral process — just talk us through some of your concerns. - just talk us through some of your concerns. , , . ~ - just talk us through some of your concerns. , y . ~ , ., - just talk us through some of your concerns. , , . ~ , ., ., concerns. definitely, thank you for havin: concerns. definitely, thank you for having me- — concerns. definitely, thank you for having me- i— concerns. definitely, thank you for having me. ithink— concerns. definitely, thank you for having me. i think a _ concerns. definitely, thank you for having me. i think a lot _ concerns. definitely, thank you for having me. i think a lot of- concerns. definitely, thank you for having me. i think a lot of the - having me. i think a lot of the concerns which you kind of prayer

related to is the fact that inec, the body supposed to be doing our elections and conducting our elections, it seems like they are not accountable to us. they refused to explain to us why a lot of the results that were collated at the polling units are still not uploaded to the server which has all the results that we can each log into and see exactly what happened at the polling units. in addition to that, inec has not addressed the issue that there was violence in some polling units, so a lot of people were unable to vote — and when i mean a lot of people, i mean and that polling unit. people would say compared to the percentage of those who voted, it might not be enough. but what i say is, when it comes to a democracy, everyone is entitled to a democracy, everyone is entitled to a vote, and the places that have violence, those votes were cancelled, the elections there were cancelled. i asked one inec official, are you going to run elections in places where there was

violence? and she said no. so it inec needs to explain to us why they've not uploaded the results, what is the issue? why are they not communicating with us? the whole time we were complaining about this, theyjust kept on collating the result like nothing was happening, and it feels very disingenuous to us as nigerians. 50 and it feels very disingenuous to us as nigerians— as nigerians. so you're suggesting that the places _ as nigerians. so you're suggesting that the places there _ as nigerians. so you're suggesting that the places there was - as nigerians. so you're suggesting| that the places there was violence, there was no voting — but with that arguably account for why the turnout was so low?— was so low? when it comes to turnout. _ was so low? when it comes to turnout. the — was so low? when it comes to turnout, the turnout _ was so low? when it comes to - turnout, the turnout flabbergasted me because when you are reading the senses, i knew it was low and i've seen some of the stats on how low it is... but also, it's very possible that violence in certain parts did affect the turnout, but i don't know how much it would've affected the turnout based on how low the percentage is, because there wasn't violence in every... certainly in

certain pockets across the country. so in terms of mr tinubu urging people tojoin hands so in terms of mr tinubu urging people to join hands and accept the results — and for our viewers, every now and again we're just dropping out from your audio, we will persevere — in terms of him saying "accept the results," is it acceptable to the people on the streets? we are hearing very strong sentiment that people are concerned about this electoral result. from what i about this electoral result. from what i can _ about this electoral result. from what i can see, _ about this electoral result. from what i can see, what _ about this electoral result. from what i can see, what we - about this electoral result. from what i can see, what we are - about this electoral result. from i what i can see, what we are asking for is an explanation from inec as to why they did not follow the process —— due process. what inec is asking us to do, it's like someone saying, "i was going to give you bread," and instead they give you price, they promise to give you price, they promise to give you price — and you say, "where's my bread?" and they don't answer you. we need an exhalation from inec as to what happened with the server. we have another election coming up in two weeks and inec has not explained

what will be happening. the electorate said that inec would upload the result of the server and they did not. tell us why you do not. they said the server was not able to handle the number of people voting at the same time and the amount democrat amount uploaded... but you had for years to prepare for this, you knew exactly what happened on election day. why were you so ill prepared? inec has a budget of billions, and yet this is what they were able to deliver? this is questions that we as nigerians need answered. they need to explain how they came to this process instead of they came to this process instead of the process they were going to go through, which was electronically transmitted result systems. thank ou ve transmitted result systems. thank you very much _ transmitted result systems. thank you very much for _ transmitted result systems. thank you very much for putting - transmitted result systems. thank you very much for putting those i you very much for putting those questions out there, as always. now to israel — where protests have intensified against controversial government plans to shake up thejudiciary.

there have been clashes with police as demonstrators staged what they describe as a "day of disruption". this was the scene in central tel aviv, as police on horseback tried to stop demonstrators breaching barricades as trafficjams built up. stun grenades were fired and water cannon deployed. there were scuffles as police tried to drag away some protesters. and have a listen to this. chanting chants of "shame, shame" in hebrew, directed at the police. and as for the impact of roadblocks, this is drone footage of protesters with israeli flags blocking the main highway between tel aviv and jerusalem, causing a long tailback. let's hear from a couple of protesters on the rationale behind the "day of disruption."

all the actions were stopping the entire traffic in the entire country, in the hopes that the current government will understand that we are dead serious, and we will do everything in our power to change the current path that they are taking. i change the current path that they are takina. ., ., q; :: change the current path that they are takina. ., ., g; :: , . , are taking. i fought for 30 years in this country to _ are taking. i fought for 30 years in this country to save _ are taking. i fought for 30 years in this country to save this _ are taking. i fought for 30 years in this country to save this country i are taking. i fought for 30 years in this country to save this country - | this country to save this country — now i'm _ this country to save this country — now i'm fighting against the dictatorship that will happen. i won't — dictatorship that will happen. i won't let— dictatorship that will happen. i won't let it happen! so what is it that they oppose so strongly? they're against changes to the justice system, which are a cornerstone of israel's new nationalist religious coalition, led by prime minister benjamin netanyahu. they include giving the elected government decisive influence over the selection ofjudges. they also limit the ability of the supreme court to rule against the executive or strike down legislation. critics say the reforms will undermine judicial independence and threaten democracy. tens of thousands of people have

turned out for weekly mass rallies against the new legislation in recent weeks. israeli's far—right national security minister, itamar ben gvir, has backed the police actions today, saying the force "must use all the means at its disposal to maintain public order and the daily routine of israeli citizens". prime minister benjamin netanyahu has blamed today's protests on the opposition leader, yair lapid. translation: the law should be resected. translation: the law should be respected- lt _ translation: the law should be respected. it is _ translation: the law should be respected. it is forbidden - translation: the law should be respected. it is forbidden to - translation: the law should be respected. it is forbidden to hit . respected. it is forbidden to hit police or disrupt life in the country by blocking main roads. i understand there is someone directing protesters into anarchy — his name is guy your love bead, he doesn't want an agreement and doesn't want an agreement and doesn't respond to our calls for discussions which have been put out again and again. he wants to bring about a constitutional crisis, and therefore new elections. this is mr lapid's response. writing on twitter, he says...

he goes on to say... our middle east correspondent yolande knell told us today's events highlight the deep divisions in israel. you have mr netanyahu's coalition, who has a clear majority in parliament, but it is still a fairly met democrat narrow majority and a lot of people feel the government does not resent them and their views. when it comes to judicial reform, polls suggest that the changes being made are unpopular with a majority of israelis who would like to see more compromise being reached. and you have israel's president, who serves in this more figurehead role who's been calling for dialogue to take place, to try to get the opposition parties to sit down and talk to those in the

government who are making the changes. at the members of the opposition say they won't do that while legislation is still going through parliament, they want that to be frozen. so at the moment we end up with something of a political stalemate, and opposition members who boycotted the vote earlier in that key parliamentary committee now say they willjoin that key parliamentary committee now say they will join the protests. here, fresh questions have been raised about the judgment of the former health secretary matt hancock during the covid pandemic after a collection of his whatsapp messages were released. the messages dating back to april 2020 published by the daily telegraph cover issues such as care homes, schools and testing. here's our political editor, chris mason. matt hancock's phone is revealing an insight into the private conversations in government as covid swept the country — and the then—health secretary was centre stage. after the pandemic mr hancock worked with this journalist, isabel oakeshott, to write a book about it, and gave her his text messages.

she has now given them to the daily telegraph. the paper says on the morning of 14 april, 2020, matt hancock messaged his advisers... but that evening one of mr hancock's aides wrote... the health secretary responded...

in a statement today, a spokesman for matt hancock said... he said a meeting that they had advised it... and therefore he concluded... the government followed the expert public health advice. in the commons today, a health minister then and now facing questions from labour referred to evidence the daily telegraph didn't have about other internal discussions. there is an e—mail following exactly this exchange that she is referring to that says, "we can press straightaway with hospitals testing patients who are going into care homes, and we should

aspire to, as soon as capacity allows and when we have worked out operationally were delivering this is, the everybody going into care from the community can be tested." around the same time by the end of april 2020, hancock was desperate to hit a target, 100,000 covid test a day. he called in a favour from his former colleague george osborne — by now the editor of the london evening standard — and the paper gave him space to encourage people to get tested. we shall enjoy the nice weather we have today — the daily telegraph also reports this man, jacob rees mogg, then a minister, had a covid test couriered to one of his homes for one of his children after the initial test had been lost. at prime minister's questions, there was this exchange between rishi sunak and the labour leader. families across the country will look at this and the sight of politicians writing books, portraying themselves as heroes or selectively leaking messages, will be an insulting and ghoulish spectacle for them. rather than comment on piecemeal bits of information, i am sure the honourable gentleman will agree the right way for these things to be looked

at is the covid inquiry. the battle to learn lessons and defend reputations over covid was always going to be intense. the stakes so high, the death toll so grim. the expectation had been that would happen primarily in the public inquiry — but the political truth now is the court of opinion is open and hearing evidence, and there are more revelations to come. lost liberties, businesses, education and loved ones — a pandemic no—one will forget. so many questions, and perhaps now, at least some answers. chris mason, bbc news, westminster. don't forget, you can get in touch with me and some of the team on twitter — i'm @kasiamadera. it would be very good to hear from you, stay with us on outside source,

lots of news coming up in the next few moments. hello there. it's been a chilly and quite cloudy start to the new month, the start of meteorological spring, even seeing more cloud across some western parts of the uk, normally sheltered from that northeasterly breeze. and that northeasterly breezes bring bringing not just a lot of cloud, but a lot of showers today in england, wales and eastern scotland. but if we're looking to continental europe, the air is clearer here — we've got clearer skies, and with an easterly breeze, we'll see some of that clearer weather heading our way. so the cloud will be breaking across east anglia, the southeast, later in the night, across the midlands, as well. where we do keep the cloud, there'll still be some showers around, but i think we'll find clearer skies arriving in northern scotland — temperatures here below freezing, and temperatures across east anglia in the southeast by the end of the night won't be far away

from freezing either, but there will be some sunshine on the way tomorrow. now there'll still be some cloud around, still some showers, as well, more especially across southeast scotland, northeast england, and perhaps into northern ireland. the cloud may increase in the afternoon across east anglia, but across southern england, the midlands, mid and south wales, there should be much more sunshine than today. and we've got some sunshine across northern parts of scotland, as well, after that chilly start. temperatures not really changing very much, as we've seen over the past few days, we'll be around 7—9 celsius. the winds will be lighter for tomorrow, and they'll stay light, i think, as we head into friday. high pressure still sitting close by, we'll be chasing cloud around. slight change in the wind direction this time could mean more cloud coming back in across england and wales, maybe bringing i—2 light showers, and we've got more cloud for northern ireland. probably a frosty start, though, friday morning in scotland — and that's where we'll see the best of the sunshine, although northern areas this time will see more cloud through the afternoon. and again, those temperatures at the moment still around 7—9 celsius, so a bit chilly, as i say, for this time of the year. now we'll find, over the weekend, the centre of the high drifting

or retreating back towards iceland, allowing that weather front to push southwards, bringing with it some thicker cloud. saturday may well be dry, but rather cloudy. and we'll find, on sunday, the cloud will be thicker, more chance of seeing some showers, and temperatures will be a bit lower on sunday, as well. but there's colder weather to come as we head into next week — and that's because we'll find a northerly wind picking up, bringing colder air from the arctic. there's even the chance of some snow next week — at this stage, uncertain how much snow there'll be or where exactly it'll fall.

now let's turn to the us to get the latest on the political debate around tiktok. the house foreign affairs committee has voted to give presidentjoe biden the power to ban tiktok nationwide. the social media app is owned by a chinese is owned by a chinese firm, called bytedance. democratic lawmakers in the committee did not vote for the bill, but the republican majority did. the committee chairman, michael mccaul said: "make no mistake tiktok is a security threat." china says that's not true. and tiktok responded to this saying it was "disappointed to see this rushed piece of legislation move forward". this all comes after the us government banned tiktok from government phones, a move also taken by canada and the european union. we can cross live to san francisco and our technology correspondent james clayton.

it is not a polite tennis match. this is an existential struggle over what life would look like in the zist what life would look like in the 21st century. and the most fundamental freedoms are at stake. so relations between the us and china are tense right now. not only over tiktok. there's also another spat going on. this one is about the china covid lab leak theory. nearly three years on since the start of the pandemic, it's back in the news, with new allegations from the us, and pushback from china. that theory is that coronavirus may have escaped, accidentally or otherwise, from here, the wuhan institute of virology in the chinese city where the virus was first recorded. but there is no scientific evidence of that, as we will look at shortly. first, let's look at what the director of the fbi christopher wray has told fox news: the fbi has for quite some time now assessed

this was china's response. the united states troops of the la porte _ the united states troops of the la porte torrey legal theory which would — porte torrey legal theory which would not discredit china but will further _ would not discredit china but will further lower its own credibility. we urge — further lower its own credibility. we urge the us to respect science and facts — we urge the us to respect science and facts. to stop politicising the origin— and facts. to stop politicising the origin tracing of the coronavirus. the united states once again stirs up the laboratory leak so, china says this theory is categorically not true. but this subject is already a point of tension this week, after an article which appeared in us media last sunday. the wall streetjournal reported: that cited a classified intelligence report. but here's the important bit. the us deparment of energy said they could only reach that conclusion with in their words "low confidence". the white house, meanwhile, says there's no

consensus. this was on monday. the work is still ongoing. there hasn't been the final conclusion arrived at here and not everyone in the intelligence community across the intelligence community across the government necessarily has come to a consensus view here. overall it started. so, us government agencies have different conclusions. and we're not hearing much detail on why the fbi and the us energy department made these assertions. that's added to the confusion as cbs news�* jared hill explains. and not really giving clear or definitive — and not really giving clear or definitive language - and not really giving clear or definitive language here - and not really giving clear or definitive language here in i definitive language here in rehearing the fbi director singh most likely your potential lab incident the department of energy saying that they have low confidence and some of this information in there only two out of the nine united states organisations that are been looking into this that have reached this conclusion and so, it's still a? on the side of the ocean

here to figure out exactly what happened there. it's important to say here, there is no evidence that it leaked from a lab. so let's look at why this theory emerged. this place wuhan's huanan seafood and wildlife market was at the centre of the coronavirus outbreak. and if you look at this map you can see the market is near the wuhan institute of virology a lab which conducts research into viruses like coronaviruses. the theory is it could have leaked from the lab and spread to the wet market. in 2021, experts from the world health organization went to wuhan to carry out a joint investigation with china. they said the lab leak theory was "extremely unlikely". but that investigation has been criticised. our correspondent in beijing, steven mcdonell explains.

we followed them around and came up with, no solid conclusions really about the origins of covid—i9 and the who was supposed to have a further inquiry in supposed to be a new team coming to china and i don't know whatever i'm to the team being put together and there was a report in the scientific journal put together and there was a report in the scientificjournal saying that the who had effectively shelved this and since then, without the who saying no, we have not given up on the origins of covid—i9 but where is the origins of covid—i9 but where is the team, the new team of scientists looking into this? so questions over that investigation but still no scientific evidence pointing to a lab leak. which brings us to the other theory that scientists say is more likely. the natural origin theory that covid originated from a natural spill—over from infected animals. supporters of that theory say covid emerged in bats, thenjumped to humans, most likely through another animal.

as we've reported: "some studies suggest covid made the leap from animals to humans in wuhan possibly at the city's seafood and wildlife market. " i'm joined now by our science correspondent, victoria gill. victoria, you covered a study that came to this conclusion back injuly tell us about its findings. victoria you covered a study that came to this conclusion back injuly tell us about it so what evidence is there for the lab leak so is this all politics? tracking back through time to look at those earliest cases in covid—i9 that we saw the cluster of cases in wuhan and some of those cases knowing about covid—i9 would be very mild and the initial outbreak and sometimes have a fatal and triggered a warning signs in this global

outbreaks turning the world upside down and now we know we have missing pieces of the puzzle and a few things that science and its look at all of those cases nothing mapped out around the city and they essentially are pointed to a clustered around that seafood and wildlife marketed and even where people were hospitalised, cases of people were hospitalised, cases of people that they know were very mild cases, their home addresses were near that seafood market. it's all pointing to come or the scientists i spoke to the university of sydney said it was kind of like that was the rock in the middle of the poor who are pulling out any could see these cases. the other thing was studying and scrutinising some of the first samples swabs that came from the market and they seem to cluster in the southwest corner of the market with a photographed live

animals that we now know can be susceptible to covid—i9. like racoon dogsin susceptible to covid—i9. like racoon dogs in particular, mammals that can get this disease and that's where they were being sold. a of this evidence together with hindsight but that real biological and it all pointed to the market. and that real biological and it all pointed to the market. and going to the lab legal— pointed to the market. and going to the lab legal theory, _ pointed to the market. and going to the lab legaltheory, can _ pointed to the market. and going to the lab legal theory, can we - pointed to the market. and going to the lab legal theory, can we just i the lab legal theory, can we just say what evidence there is to the last week theory there? you cited that there is _ last week theory there? you cited that there is no _ last week theory there? you cited that there is no firm _ last week theory there? you cited that there is no firm conclusion i that there is no firm conclusion about how this started. we talked about how this started. we talked about throughout covering this story the one hypothesis about natural spill and one hypothesis about the lab legal theory is either one of the other. the actual fact is china investigation carry it out the very

best investigation in 2021, they looked at in listing the numerous hypotheses where this could come from whether it's a direct spill—over by another animal that could be infected and really focuses on the market and gives the suggestion that it can be brought in by another animal that was susceptible to covid—i9. or, that it could of been with frozen food, different hypotheses and none of them have been eradicated. no scientist would say it did not leak from a lab because they cannot prove that. it's very difficult to prove a negative. but this outbreak is building on all of the knowledge that we have about this virus and the critical work in biological body of evidence that we have is in the information contained in the virus

and other areas of work that been carried out is looking for related viruses that will give us clues as to where this might�*ve come from. a lot of work is been carried out and elsewhere in china and beyond, researchers have found very similarly viruses not the smoking gun yet but very closely willing to viruses that are circulating in that area and another thing we know about this virus is how it changes and transforms and this is really pretty arm to be able to get into this and getting to ourselves. and everyone i've spoken to points towards this natural spill—over and we don't have the final conclusion yet. to

natural spill-over and we don't have the final conclusion yet.— the final conclusion yet. to the clari , the final conclusion yet. to the clarity. a _ the final conclusion yet. to the clarity, a science _ the final conclusion yet. to the i clarity, a science correspondent. thank you. confirmed that the remains, the couple were arrested on monday and this is after a seven week search for them in their car was found on fire by the sight of the motorway. announcing a short while ago that it was news that they knew that the public did not want to hear. so, let's hear from the detective from the metropolitan police. it let's hear from the detective from the metropolitan police.— let's hear from the detective from the metropolitan police. it was my ve sad the metropolitan police. it was my very sad duty _ the metropolitan police. it was my very sad duty to — the metropolitan police. it was my very sad duty to report _ the metropolitan police. it was my very sad duty to report that - the metropolitan police. it was my very sad duty to report that this i very sad duty to report that this afternoon, please searching a wooden area close to where constance and mark gordon were arrested, a baby was found. a crime scene is in place

to protect young people. an official complaint has been lodged with the information commissioner's officer, in what's thought to be the first test of the ico children's code, introduced in 2020. our technology editor, zoe kleinman, reports. what are our children watching online? and who knows about it? 89% of 3—to—i7—year—olds watch youtube, according to the regulator ofcom, despite it being aimed at children aged 13 and above. youtube gathers data about what its users are watching so that it can show them more videos they might like. it also looks at where they're watching and what they're watching on. children are supposed to be part of this, but lots of them let me see your recommendations. campaigner and father of three duncan mccann says he believes youtube is breaching industry standards by doing this, as neither the children nor their parents have consented to it. and he's taken his complaints to the information commissioner's office. it has a children's internet code, designed to protect children's data privacy. my preferred reform that youtube should make is that actually when you enter youtube, they don't collect any unnecessary and process any unnecessary information.

in a statement, youtube said it had made investments to protect kids and families, including more protective default settings, a dedicated kids�* app and a supervised experience which requires parental consent. the information commissioner's office told the bbc, "we will consider this complaint carefully." many tech firms make a lot of money from compiling data about their users and then using it to sell them ads, but children are supposed to be protected from this. action in the us led to youtube paying a £140 billion fine and changing its practices. so, it assumed that anyone watching children's content would be potentially under the age of 13 and so it collects far less data on that type of content and also doesn't send personalised ads it shows that big tech can make big changes when it needs to. zoe kleinman, bbc news. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is?

you don't have to be a runner or play sport to feel the benefits of exercise. new uk analysis suggests that fitting a brisk walk into your day is good enough. the research by experts at cambridge university found that if everyone did as little as 11 minutes of daily activity, one in ten premature deaths could be prevented. that equates to 75 minutes of exercise a week. that's half what's recommended by the nhs it recommends everyone does a 150 to 300 minutes of exercise a week. i spoke to nutritionist and writer sally duffin. i think, the main message is even small pockets of exercise in your day this city was looking at 11 minutes a day can have a significant effect on your health and reduce the risk of developing serious chronic diseases. 11 risk of developing serious chronic diseases.

hello, i'm kasia madera. this is outside source. the greek transport minister resigns after one of the country's deadliest rail accidents in history. translation: of course, - we want all those responsible to pay for this mess, this greek mess. trains derailing in 2023? it's insane. bola tinubu, nigeria's ruling party, candidate is declared the winner of the presidential election. the opposition say it was rigged. and protest in israel's tel aviv against the government's controversialjudicial reform.

welcome. we begin in greece, where the transport minister has resigned after at least 38 people died in a train crash, one of the worst such disasters in the country's history. the minister kostas karamanlis said he was taking responsibility for the failures of the greek state. before we hearfrom him, let's look at what happened. the crash was in the tempi district, north of the city of larissa. one of the trains was a passenger service from athens to thessalon eeki with 350 people on board. that train hit a freight train head—on at high speed — as you can see, multiple carriages came off the tracks and overturned, some catching fire. the extent of the destruction became clear in daylight. the front carriages of the passenger train were mostly destroyed. many of the victims are thought to be university students. survivors describe panicked scenes as they tried to escape.

let's hear from one. translation: we broke i the windows with our backs. all i personally remember is feeling a very strong break, and suddenly there were sparks and flames on the sides of the windows. then a sudden stop. that made us all panic. we just wanted to get out as soon as possible, so we tried to break the glass in the windows. what we saw in front of us was chaos. i didn't see anything else. we broke the windows and we got out. let's go through what we know about this. more than 70 people are in hospital, six in a critical condition. police have arrested a local station master in charge of signalling. and in response to the tragedy, greece has begun three days of national mourning. greek prime minister kyriakos mitsotakis visited the site, where he was briefed on the rescue operation. he promised to get to the bottom of the tragedy.

translation: our thoughts | are with the victims' relatives. 0ur duty is to treat the injured, and then to identify the bodies. i can guarantee only one thing — we will find out what caused this tragedy, and we will do whatever we can to avoid anything similar in the future. and the greek prime minister has addressed the nation, saying... this is the transport minister, kostas karamanlis, walking with the prime minsiter at the scene. he says there will be an investigation. translation: we will investigate with absolute graveness _ and transparency the cause of this tragic accident. i but whatever we say now, it will be premature i and i would advise that by doing so, it would dishonour- those who are missing. so i would like all. of us to calm down. and to stick to what i previously said — i that we will do everything to investigate the cause i and leave nothing unanswered. our europe corrrespondent nick beake has more.

that same transport minister has said he does not believe the greek rail network is fit for this century. the trade unions have been stressing to us that the biggest part of this main line, where the accident took place, is still manual, it's not operated by computers, so drivers are still relying on phone calls and text messages before they proceed. fire and rescue authorities are expected to work into the night, and they've been using cranes to move large pieces of the train. people are also helping in different ways. dozens of people lined up to donate blood outside this hospital. let's hear from another survivor, who told us what happened in the aftermath of the crash. jackets and anything the people were cold, and we had to give them jackets and anything

we could to keep them warm. you need to keep them awake. we phoned their family to let them know that they �*re at least alive and injured, so they can come from their cities and go to larissa to find them later. and that's what was happening — we were calling people's mothers, sisters, siblings, waking people up from their beds, just to inform them there's been a tragedy. more than 200 people who were unhurt or suffered minor injuries were taken by bus to thessaloniki, but some relatives still can't locate their loved ones. let's hear from a father trying to find his son and a friend. translation: we want to see if they are inside. _ that is all we ask. and of course, we want all those responsible to pay for this mess, this greek mess. trains derailing in 2023? it's insane. alexia kalaitzi, a journalist who works for the greek

public broadcaster ert, gave us an update. there are reports of about 40 people dead from the accident, and there are a few families that have not yet found their loved ones. there are people, parents especially, who are looking for their children. so, still people unaccounted for, and we were hearing how a lot of the railway system is still manually operated, how phone calls, text messages are used between station masters and train drivers. how does this work? exactly. the labour unions have actually warned everybody about this failure months ago, saying that we have an obsolete train system. actually, they said that there is a total lack of any smart system safeguarding the security of the greek railway,

and they also said that they do not have personnel to operate this kind of system, so they are understaffed. so these are very serious allegations, and there are people confirming that, actually, we do not have this kind of smart system, leaving no room for human error, so blaming one station manager is also a very smart way to somehow cover the chronic deficiencies of our system. ijust wonder if you could help us to understand why this is possible in the 21st century, how was the system never updated? why wasn't that potentially, arguably, a priority? bureaucracy, many organisations being involved in operating the railway — there are many, many, so there are no specific organisations to blame. everything is quite complicated, and i think this will be the new target from the government,

to actually separate who does what, so there will be responsibilities, and finally we will update, we will modernise this system. actually, the minister said that despite his efforts to modernise the railway system, he could not prevent this kind of tragedy. to nigeria now, where the electoral commission has declared the governing party candidate, bola tinubu, the winner of saturday's disputed presidential election. it means the former lagos governor achieves his life—long ambition of heading africa's most populous democracy and biggest oil exporter. but peter obi, the leader of opposition labour party, who came third, says he will challenge the result in court. mr tinubu was handed the official certificate formalising his election victory in a ceremony earlier.

there, he called on his rivals and their supporters to "join hands" with him and begin the task of rebuilding the nation. the president—elect received 36.6% of the total number of votes, leaving him comfortably ahead of his main rival atiku abubakar, who polled 29%, and labour's peter obi with 25% of the vote. according to official results, voter turnout was 27%, one of the lowest since the end of military rule in 1999. the election results have not gone down well with everyone amid allegations of fraud. let's hear some of the reaction on the streets of the capital, abuja. i personally am not happy. i feel that i lost my father and my mother, because there's no hope for us again. what they were saying before, it is

true. he's very nice, very successful. i believe he's a very good one. we know what we went through. it wasn't easy, we had over 3,000 registered voters. for my area alone. most of them are disenfranchised, most voted in the _ middle of the night. so it wasn't free, it wasn't fair. anyone telling you he or she is happy about the result of the election, that person is lying. every nigerian, everybody — because we are tired of what you've been seeing. at the heart of thos dispute and allegations is the new at the heart of thois dispute and allegations is the new electronic voting system, introduced by the independent national electoral commission — or inec — which was supposed to make the manipulation of results more difficult and the polls more transparent.

but reports of the widespread inability of electoral staff to upload results from the polling stations to inec�*s server has helped fuel allegations of a conspiracy allegations of a possible collusion —— fuel allegations of a conspiracy, allegations of a possible collusion by inec to fix the outcome. bolanle olukanni is a tv host and documentary—maker in nigeria. she's been very vocal on her social about her concerns for the electronic and voting system. inec, the body supposed to be doing our elections, conducting our elections, it seems like they are not accountable to us. they refused to explain to us why a lot of the results that were collated at the polling units are still not uploaded to the server, which has all the results that we can each log into and see exactly what happened at the polling units. in addition to that, inec has not addressed the issue that there was violence in some polling units, so a lot of people were unable to vote — and when i mean a lot of people, i mean in that polling unit. people would say compared

to the percentage of those who voted, it might not be enough. but what i say is, when it comes to a democracy, everyone is entitled to a vote, and the places that have violence, —— everyone is entitled to a vote, and the places that had violence, those votes were cancelled, the elections there were cancelled. i asked one inec official, are you going to run elections in places where there was violence? and she said no. so these are the things we need to address. inec needs to explain to us why they've not uploaded the results, what is the issue? why are they not communicating with us? the whole time we were complaining about this, theyjust carried on collating the result like nothing was happening, and it feels very disingenuous to a lot of us as nigerians. so you're suggesting that the places there was violence, there was no voting — would that arguably account for why the turnout was so low? it's very possible that the violence in certain parts did affect the

turnout. but i don't know how much it would've affected the turnout based on how low the percentage is. so in terms of mr tinubu urging people tojoin hands and accept the results — — in terms of him saying "accept the results" — is it acceptable to the people on the streets? we are hearing very strong sentiment that people are concerned about this electoral result. from what i can see, what we are asking for is an explanation from inec as to why they did not follow due process. what inec is asking us to do, it's like someone saying, "i was going to give you bread," and instead they give you price, they promise to give you price — and you say, "where's my bread?" and they don't answer you. now to israel — protests have intensified against controversial government plans to shake up thejudiciary. there have been clashes with police as demonstrators staged what they describe as a "day of disruption". this was the scene in central

tel aviv, as police on horseback tried to stop demonstrators breaching barricades as trafficjams built up. stun grenades were fired and water cannon deployed. there were scuffles as police tried to drag away some protesters. listen to this. chanting chants of "shame, shame" in hebrew, directed at the police. and as for the impact of roadblocks, this is drone footage of protesters with israeli flags blocking the main highway between tel aviv and jerusalem, causing a long tailback. let's hear from a couple of protesters on the rationale behind the "day of disruption." we are blocking the intersections. we are at stopping the traffic in the entire country. in the hopes that the current government will understand that we are dead serious, and we will do everything

in our power to change the current path that they are taking. i fought for 30 years in this country to save this country — now i'm fighting against the dictatorship that's going to happen. i won't let it happen! we are going to go through now what these protests are opposing. they're against changes to the justice system, which are a cornerstone of israel's new nationalist religious coalition, led by prime minister benjamin netanyahu. they include giving the elected government decisive influence over the selection ofjudges. they also limit the ability of the supreme court to rule against the executive or strike down legislation. critics say the reforms will undermine judicial independence and threaten democracy. tens of thousands of people have turned out for weekly mass rallies against the new legislation in recent weeks. israeli's far—right national security minister, itamar ben gvir, has backed the police actions today, saying the force "must use all the means at its disposal to maintain public order and the daily routine of israeli citizens".

prime minister benjamin netanyahu has blamed today's protests on the opposition leader, yair lapid. translation: the law should be respected. i it is forbidden to hit police or disrupt life in the country by blocking main roads. i understand there is someone directing protesters into anarchy — his name is yair lapid. he doesn't want agreement and doesn't respond to our calls for discussions, which have been put out again and again and are genuine. he wants to bring about a constitutional crisis, and therefore new elections. this is mr lapid's response. writing on twitter, he says... he went on to say...

this reflects political divisions in israel, as my colleague yolande kneu israel, as my colleague yolande knell explains. you have mr netanyahu's coalition, who has a clear majority in parliament, but it is still a fairly met narrow majority and a lot of people feel the government does not represent them and their views. when it comes to judicial reform, polls suggest that the changes being made are unpopular with a majority of israelis, who would like to see more compromise being reached. and you have israel's president, who serves in this more figurehead role, who's been calling for dialogue to take place, to try to get the opposition parties to sit down and talk to those in the government who are making the changes. but the members of the opposition say they won't do that while legislation is still going through parliament. they want that to be frozen. so at the moment, we end up with something of a political stalemate, and opposition members who boycotted the vote earlier in that key parliamentary committee now say they will join the protests.

your reporting. —— yolanda their reporting. stay with us on outside source. still to come: a new study says just 11 minutes of daily activity can prevent an early death. 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 i marches 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 controversy — i know you don't want to say too much about it — but does it worry you that it's going to boil up? oh, it worries me, yes, but i hope everything'll be all right at the end of the day. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our main story: the greek transport minister resigns after one of the country's deadliest rail accidents in history. we're now going to talk about the china covid lab leak theory. nearly three years on since the start of the pandemic, it's back in the news, with new allegations from the us and pushback from china. that theory is that coronavirus may have escaped,

accidentally or otherwise, from here, the wuhan institute of virology, in the chinese city where the virus was first recorded. but there is no scientific evidence of that, as we will look at shortly. lam iamjust i am just going to stress this. first, let's look at what the director of the fbi, christopher wray, has told fox news... this was china's response. translation: the united states one down at once — translation: the united states one down at once against _ translation: the united states one down at once against theirs _ translation: the united states one down at once against theirs at i translation: the united states one down at once against theirs at the i down at once against theirs at the laboratory leak theory which will not discredit china but which will further lower its own credibility. we urge the us to respect science and facts, to stop politicising the origin tracing of the coronavirus. china saying categorically this theory is not

true. but this subject is already a point of tension this week, after an article which appeared in us media last sunday. the wall streetjournal reported... that cited a classified intelligence report. but here's the important bit. the us deparment of energy said they could only reach that conclusion with — in their words — "low confidence". the white house, meanwhile, says there's no consensus. this was on monday. the work is still ongoing. there has not been a final conclusion arrived at here, and not everyone in the intelligence community or cross the government necessarily has come to a consensus view here on how it started. so, us government agencies have different conclusions. and we're not hearing much detail on why the fbi and the us energy department made these assertions. that�*s added to the confusion as cbs news�* jared hill explains.

they are not really getting very clear or definitive language here. we hearing the fbi director say things like, most likely, a potential lab incident. the department of energy said they have low confidence in some of this information. and they are only two out of the nine us organisations that have reached this conclusion, so the big question mark on this of the ocean here, to figure out exactly what happened. it�*s important to say here, there is no evidence that it leaked from a lab. so let�*s look at why this theory emerged. this place — wuhan�*s huanan seafood and wildlife market — was at the centre of the coronavirus outbreak. and if you look at this map, you can see the market is near the wuhan institute of virology, a lab which conducts research into viruses like coronaviruses. the theory is it could have leaked from the lab and spread to the wet market.

in 2021, experts from the world health organization went to wuhan to carry out a joint investigation with china. they said the lab leak theory was "extremely unlikely". but that investigation has been criticised. our correspondent in beijing, steven mcdonell, explains. we followed them around, and they sort of came up with with, no solid conclusions, really, as to the origins of the origins of covid and the who was supposed of the further inquiry, they�*re supposed to be a new team coming to china. i do not know whatever happened to that team being put together. there was a report scientific journal nature, saying the who had effectively shelved this. since then, we have had the who saying, no, no, we have not been up on the origins of covid, but where is the team, the new team of scientists looking into this?

pointing to a lab leak... ..which brings us to the other theory that scientists say is more likely. the natural origin theory that covid originated from a natural spill—over from infected animals. supporters of that theory say covid emerged in bats, thenjumped to humans, most likely through another animal. as we�*ve reported... here�*s victoria gill. in the initial outbreak, when there was a cluster of pneumonias that were sometimes sadly fatal, that trickled down back triggered our warning signs of a global outbreak —— triggered. we were looking for people who are very sick. now we have the missing pieces of that puzzle. there were two key things that scientists did in this study, it was essentially looking at how those cases mapped out around the

city, and they essentially all pointed to a cluster around that seafood and wildlife market, so even where people were not hospitalised, the cases of people that they now know were very early mild cases, their home addresses where near that seafood market, so they were all pointing to... i think one of the scientists i spoke to work on this study, said it was kind of like that was the rock in the middle of the pool and it was rippling out. you can see these cases. the other thing was, studying and scrutinising some of the first samples, swabs, they came from that market, and they seemed to cluster in this southwest corner of the market where they had photographs of live animals that we now know can be susceptible to covid—19, like racoon in particular. that is where they would be sold. it drew all of this evidence together, with a lot of hindsight but that real kind of biological evidence,

and it all pointed, the researchers say, to the market. ads, and it all pointed, the researchers say, to the market.— say, to the market. a lot to get throu~h say, to the market. a lot to get through there. _ say, to the market. a lot to get through there. what _ say, to the market. a lot to get through there. what are i through there. what are your thoughts? share them with me on twitter. hello there. it�*s been a chilly and quite cloudy start to the new month, the start of meteorological spring, even seeing more cloud across some western parts of the uk, normally sheltered from that northeasterly breeze. and that northeasterly breeze has been bringing not just a lot of cloud, but a lot of showers today in england, wales, and eastern scotland. but if we�*re looking to continental europe, the air is clearer here — we�*ve got clearer skies, and with an easterly breeze, we�*ll see some of that clearer weather heading our way. so the cloud will be breaking across east anglia and the southeast, later in the night, across the midlands, as well. where we do keep the cloud, there�*ll still be some showers around, but i think we�*ll find clearer skies arriving in northern scotland — temperatures here below freezing, and temperatures across east anglia in the southeast by the end of the night won�*t be far away from freezing either, but there will be some sunshine on the way tomorrow. now there�*ll still be some cloud around, still

some showers, as well — more especially across southeast scotland, northeast england, and perhaps into northern ireland. the cloud may increase in the afternoon across east anglia, but across southern england, the midlands, mid and south wales, there should be much more sunshine than today. and we�*ve got some sunshine across northern parts of scotland, as well, after that chilly start. temperatures not really changing very much, as we�*ve seen over the past few days, we�*ll be around 7—9 celsius. the winds will be lighter for tomorrow, and they�*ll stay light, i think, as we head into friday. high pressure still sitting close by, we�*ll be chasing cloud around. slight change in the wind direction this time could mean more cloud coming back in across england and wales, maybe bringing 1—2 light showers, and we�*ve got more cloud for northern ireland. probably a frosty start, though, friday morning in scotland — and that�*s where we�*ll see the best of the sunshine, although northern areas this time will see more cloud through the afternoon. and again, those temperatures at the moment still around 7—9 celsius, so a bit chilly, as i say, for this time of the year. now we�*ll find, over the weekend, the centre of the high drifting or retreating back towards iceland,

allowing that weather front to push southwards, bringing with it some thicker cloud. saturday may well be dry, but rather cloudy. and we�*ll find, on sunday, the cloud will be thicker, more chance of seeing some showers, and temperatures will be a bit lower on sunday, as well. but there�*s colder weather to come as we head into next week — and that�*s because we�*ll find a northerly wind picking up, bringing colder air from the arctic. there�*s even the chance of some snow next week — at this stage, uncertain how much snow there�*ll be or where exactly it�*ll fall.
