so—called "russian aggression. they met for about ten minutes on the sidelines of this meeting. our us state department correspondent has more. we know what the american say was discussed with mr blinken said he raised three points, he made the point that the us and his allies would support ukraine until the end of the war. he asked the russians to restart the nuclear arms treaty, new start, which he has suspended. he asked for the release of an american detainee, he said it was less than a ten minute discussion, it was informal, it hadn't been arranged ahead of time but it was the first time the two men had met face to face since the war started. the click that moscow played down, they said mr blinken had asked for the contact and it wasn't a proper meeting, it it certainly wasn't a proper meeting. the 620 includes the worlds most wealthiest nation, plus the european union. foreign ministers from russia, us and china

and two are all in delhi for the summit. there is hope that delegates could find common ground in champion the global south at a time of deep global divisions. so development, humanitarian assistance were all on the agenda. let's hearfrom humanitarian assistance were all on the agenda. let's hear from the indian prime minister.— the agenda. let's hear from the indian prime minister. indeed your nature that — indian prime minister. indeed your nature that they _ indian prime minister. indeed your nature that they are _ indian prime minister. indeed your nature that they are affected - indian prime minister. indeed your nature that they are affected by i indian prime minister. indeed your| nature that they are affected by the geopolitical of the day. we all have our our allegiance and perspective on how this tension should be resolved. however, at the leading economies of the world we also have a responsibility towards those who are not in this room. that statement, _ are not in this room. that statement, a _ are not in this room. that statement, a call- are not in this room. that statement, a call for - are not in this room. that - statement, a call for common are not in this room. that statement, a call for common ground reflects india's position on the war. it wants click that walks a

diplomatic type rope china bounces ties with russia and the us that's because its own diplomatic position, and he has not been widely maintained both us or russia, which is russia's india's eight arms of fire. india along with china and many other nations is abstained from voting on western back unit including a vote held at the general assembly last week. delhi has also explained why its increased oil imports from russia say it has to look after more than a billion people. it also talked about the need for territorial integrity. let's get more knowledge and india's position from ourformer let's get more knowledge and india's position from our former indian diplomat. position from our former indian dilomat. f , position from our former indian dilomat. j, ., , position from our former indian dilomat. ., , ., diplomat. kelly's actions are helinu diplomat. kelly's actions are helping everybody _ diplomat. kelly's actions are helping everybody because l diplomat. kelly's actions are | helping everybody because if diplomat. kelly's actions are - helping everybody because if india doesn't speak to moscow, india will have no influence on moscow. as a former practitioner i say you have to talk to all sides and have some credibility with all sides to be able to play a role. india is also tried to speak on behalf of the global south and secretary blinken was on board for the we heard the 20

deep and sophisticated assistance by the us to the ukrainian military. our correspondent is in geneva and has more. in addition we have a conference on disarmament and vladimir putin hasjust conference on disarmament and vladimir putin has just pulled out from one of the last two treaties that was still kind of in force, aimed at controlling and reducing nuclear weapons. when his deputy foreign minister addressing a conference on disarmament this morning, western diplomats stood outside the room. one told me we're not going to listen to people telling putin lies. for more on all of this i spoke to her professor of global history and oxford university. it's always good to be good when diplomats get a chance to meet. i think what has to be realistic about the likely outcomes are going to be. i think having heard but the foreign ministers

messaging and outside china, it's important chinese don't look back doing what they're doing by the united states. the chinese have to work through what they think the likely outcome is going to be in russia and ukraine. what are the benefits that china does get from the war, which is cheaper levels of energy and a week in russia, which is probably in china's interest at least in the short—term. and then try to navigate, how does china come through to other side and what that might look like if and when this war ever comes to an end? i think when has to take a step back from the idea that china can tell moscow what to do. i don't think that putin looks like he's ever been willing to take instruction from anybody. whatever it is that the chinese might throw into russia's fort to try to leverage solution, i think it's not clear that we have an impact. i think that is known quite clearly in beijing too. the impact. i think that is known quite clearly in beijing too. clearly in bei'ing too. the coverage of this war clearly in beijing too. the coverage of this war of _ clearly in beijing too. the coverage of this war of the _ clearly in beijing too. the coverage of this war of the ukraine - clearly in beijing too. the coverage of this war of the ukraine war, - clearly in beijing too. the coverage of this war of the ukraine war, in i of this war of the ukraine war, in the west is very much from the

western perspective but it is striking that countries in asia, including in walk a different political tightrope. countries in africa and latin america, they do not see this war in the same way. i guess there are two obvious reasons for that, one is we spent the best part of our last ten years navel—gazing and thinking about relationships with each other. that's one of the prices we pay. i think we've not paid attention to other parts of the world. at the same time, the russians really have. lavrov has been foreign ministerfor basically two decades. and is extremely energetic and what she tells the world, cultivates local leaders and shows that russia is open for business was up it's a very different model to how we do things here in europe. the second thing is, lavrov and put are playing a very skilful diplomatic game of trying to light russia's interests with those

of others. the kind of language we've heard in last year around racism towards russia, russian phobia, the colonial wears and all sorts of different things being thrown around in president clinton's speech ten days ago. he talks about different ways in which people think about sexualities and lesbian rights in the west as opposed to other parts of the world for the poser very carefully chosen to say russia is upholding a rule of law that suits other nations. a year ago soon after the russian invasion of ukraine more than half of the countries in asia abstained from taking a position on whether russia's invasion should be condemned. 2a out of the 5a countries in africa did the same, either didn't vote or abstain. that's a product of thinking why should they take sides. that speaks to the putin game, he drew attention to the putin game, he drew attention to the putin game, he drew attention to the fact that the west is board about 26 billion, i hundred and $60 billion into the defence of ukraine and only 60 billion into the

developing world. and to pull the heartstrings and say, this is another wet streets africa, latin america, most parts of asia. those words are carefully chosen to undermine what it is the west stands for and that we're very selective in who we choose to defend and why. here the uk the inquiry into the manchester arena bombing has found that mis manchester arena bombing has found that mi5 missed a significant opportunity in the months running up to it that might�*ve prevented the attack. it happened on the 22nd of may 2017 after an area ground a concert killing 22 people. the final part of the inquiry which is been held in private as looked at what the intelligence service knew about the intelligence service knew about the bomber salman abedi. previous reports found security and the response from the emergency services failings. only 801 detonated the bomb which killed 22 people at

manchester arena but others bear responsibility. those who radicalise him, helped him make the device and the agencies who failed to stop them. the manchester arena inquiry report spells it out starkly. m15 let salman abedi slip through the net. i let salman abedi slip through the net. :, :, ., , .., net. i have found a significant missed opportunity _ net. i have found a significant missed opportunity to - net. i have found a significant missed opportunity to take i net. i have found a significant - missed opportunity to take action that might of prevented the attack. there was a realistic possibility that actionable intelligence could have been curtailed which might have led to action preventing the attack. the reason for this missed opportunity included a failure of other security services in my view to accept swiftly a na._ other security services in my view to accept swiftly a na. salman abedi set off a suicide _ to accept swiftly a na. salman abedi set off a suicide bomb _ to accept swiftly a na. salman abedi set off a suicide bomb in _ to accept swiftly a na. salman abedi set off a suicide bomb in the - set off a suicide bomb in the foyer of the end of an area underground a concert. teenagers were leaving, paid two parents are waiting for their children. the youngest to die withjust ten years their children. the youngest to die with just ten years old. for the

leaders were willfully blind to extremists on the terror for us. is chairman explained as an unreliable witness who downplayed the between the mosque, something he continued to die outside the court today. i can tell you here and now there is no place for radicalisation or politics or any evil acts. no one can be radicalise with a ten minute sermon. �* , , ., sermon. but this is about political meetinas sermon. but this is about political meetings and _ sermon. but this is about political meetings and other— sermon. but this is about political meetings and other activities - sermon. but this is about political meetings and other activities in i sermon. but this is about political. meetings and other activities in the mosque. i meetings and other activities in the most ue. :, , meetings and other activities in the mosuue. :,, ,, meetings and other activities in the mosuue. :,, i. ., meetings and other activities in the mosuue. ., :, mosque. i hope you have it on, there are no political— mosque. i hope you have it on, there are no political meetings, _ mosque. i hope you have it on, there are no political meetings, i— mosque. i hope you have it on, there are no political meetings, i do - mosque. i hope you have it on, there are no political meetings, i do not. are no political meetings, i do not care what people say. the inquiry said there were a political meetings of course the day, have they been to the mosque? they heard what they were told. :, , :, the mosque? they heard what they were told. :,, :, , were told. people would sometimes lie. we were told. people would sometimes he we heard _ were told. people would sometimes lie. we heard evidence _ were told. people would sometimes lie. we heard evidence who - were told. people would sometimes lie. we heard evidence who is - were told. people would sometimes lie. we heard evidence who is said l lie. we heard evidence who is said to be reliable. that lie. we heard evidence who is said to be reliable.— lie. we heard evidence who is said to be reliable. that mum and i stood in the court — to be reliable. that mum and i stood in the court and _ to be reliable. that mum and i stood in the court and i said _ to be reliable. that mum and i stood in the court and i said that _ to be reliable. that mum and i stood in the court and i said that a - to be reliable. that mum and i stood in the court and i said that a mum i in the court and i said that a mum isa liar. in the court and i said that a mum is a liar. many things he did were not correct. i do not care what he said but i will sell you, he lied. you did not turn a blind eye, you say? we did not turn a blind eye.

case to see a couple of glaring emissions. mi my5 knew that the bomber salman abedi had left the country. they knew there was a good chance —— m15. they didn't alert the police to put in a port stop, other words put alerting airports and ports that if he returned he needed to be pulled aside for questioning and search knows? he might even have had to switch to the bomb on him. nobody will ever know because that order was ever put in place. nobody followed him after he got back to the uk just four days after blowing himself up. if they had following to himself up. if they had following to him there's a good chance he would've lived. opportunities were missed was that he was on mis�*s radar, that's uk's domestic intelligence agency, they knew he was in contact with extremely dangerous radicalise a preacher who was in prison. and yet they didn't prioritise him sufficiently. they

are defenders in government and here in the uk would say, look, there were under enormous pressure at the time for that they were trying to monitor 3000 as ois, subjects of interest, terror suspects, conducting over 5000 investigations -- 500, conducting over 5000 investigations —— 500, and inevitably at risk of something would fall through the cracks. i don't think be good enough for the family of victims who expect more than that. there were two cases where intelligence wasn't added on correctly and swiftly enough. in one case it wasn't passed on to the police who could have acted on it. the other, a report was written much too late and needed to be written up the same day because there was an urgency they are over this guy. a lot of questions wasn't clearly the relatives are still and rightly so. what has m15 said? you saw a bit of it there. the director general of

mis it there. the director general of m15 has made a public apology. he wouldn't take any questions, he read out a statement that said look, gathering intelligence is incredibly difficult and i am profoundly sorry for this awful thing. he said it twice. he didn't take any questions. he did want to be trust dues pressed on the details with a view to say on the interest of national security a lot of this inquiry was held closed doors so that m15 intelligence officers and police officers could give counter and turned evidence in secret. you could say, great, this shows this is a working democracy that we can hold our forces to a count. but the sad fact remains that we have been down the track before or after 2005, the london bombings, over 50 people killed, there were a lot of recommendations, a lot of changes put in place and nobody said it could never happen again. but everybody said let's hope this never

happens again because we put in place a lot of changes. 2017 was a terrible year. isis at the time, the so—called islamic state had its caliphate at the time it was able to be very active in encouraging people to carry out attacks. one of the other things with m15 as they were concentrating much too much on syria, kind of the epicentre of isis. they underestimated the threat coming from libya where jihadist who had fought against qaddafi is regime back ten years earlier had now turned their attention to isis and were getting radicalise, which is what happened to salman abedi. thahk what happened to salman abedi. thank ou ve what happened to salman abedi. thank you very much- — what happened to salman abedi. thank you very much. let's _ what happened to salman abedi. thank you very much. let's turn _ what happened to salman abedi. thank you very much. let's turn to _ what happened to salman abedi. thank you very much. let's turn to iran where more than a dozen girls from 26 schools have reportedly been treated at hospitals for poisoning after a wave of toxic gas attacks on wednesday let's hear from some girls

we're in touch with some of the families, asking them what is exactly... try to find out what is happening. some eyewitnesses have described a smell like a tangerine kind of smell or rotten fish. some eyewitnesses told us they saw a bomb like objects being thrown into the school and after it exploded they smelled a funny kind of smell. we've heard from some of the users, social media users who have been witnessing or heard similar things as well. thank you very much indeed for giving us the background on pat. i just want to show you these pictures from california where millions of people are under a freeze warning with a state of emergency declared in 13 places after a brutal winter

storms. digging out mountainous regions that have been cut off. we're back with more in a few moments. don't go away. hello there. moving into march means that technically, meteorologically speaking, we have left the winter behind us. but it may not feel that way as we head into next week, with some colder weather on the way. cold enough for snow in some places. but right now it is not particularly cold out there. it is fairly cloudy in many spots. this is the earlier satellite picture. we have seen some sunshine, though, across southern areas. we'll continue to see some of that across southern england, parts of wales and the midlands as we head through the rest of the day. further north, there will be more cloud. and for northern england, northern ireland and scotland, that cloud will produce some showers at times. a little bit brighter in the north west of scotland

and temperatures of 6 to 10 degrees. that's about where they have been throughout this week. now through tonight, we will see more cloud rolling its way back in across england and wales. northern ireland quite cloudy as well. clearer skies likely to be in northwest scotland and perhaps for a time in west wales and the south west of england and where there are any clear skies overhead, a touch of frost to take us into tomorrow morning. tomorrow there'll be more cloud in the south england, wales, northern ireland seeing a fair amount of cloud, maybe the odd spot of rain. across the northern half of scotland, that's where we'll see some of the best of the sunshine, although the northern isles will see the odd shower, and it will be quite breezy. temperatures between seven and nine degrees. now into the weekend, we start the change to something colder. this cold front works its way into the picture on saturday. quite a weak affair, a band of clouds, some patchy rain moving its way into eastern parts of the uk. but even further west we'll tend to see increasing amounts of clouds. temperatures again around seven, eight or nine degrees. but it is going to feel just a little bit colder as we head into sunday. and if you look at the charts,

the showers that will be quite well scattered across the country will start to turn wintry in places, particularly over high ground at this stage. some slightly more persistent rain into northern scotland, and those temperatures just starting to drop back a little. but its as we head into next week that we see this surge of cold air from the north, and at times it will be quite windy. that will only accentuate the chilly feel and it will be cold enough for snow to fall. but the exact detail about where that snow might fall is still somewhat uncertain. we will keep you posted.

police fired tear gas after a cloud gathered in the train operator office, throwing stones the building. many expressed anger saying this is an inadequate investment in the lack of automation and the safety system. this is her protest is their fury outside the railway station and reports of petrol bombs thrown at a protest does this evening. the rail network is at a standstill today and as you see, it's one day striking of what is government neglect. the feeling of infrastructure just two weeks before the crash. is the transport correspondent of the times stubby but what is in shock waves across the country right now is the extent to which the system was simply blind that the taxpayers had paid for a security system which was never

installed. initial plans before the 2004 olympics and special security system to be installed and upgrade surveillance and this railway system and this system was never installed, meaning the way the stationmaster was communicating was how it was in the 18th century. was communicating was how it was in the 18th century-— the 18th century. vicki, we have seen the public _ the 18th century. vicki, we have seen the public anger _ the 18th century. vicki, we have seen the public anger and - the 18th century. vicki, we have seen the public anger and it's i the 18th century. vicki, we have i seen the public anger and it's still there on the streets and how much of this investment is to blame for underinvestment?— this investment is to blame for underinvestment? there is no doubt that the system _ underinvestment? there is no doubt that the system that _ underinvestment? there is no doubt that the system that is been - underinvestment? there is no doubt that the system that is been used i that the system that is been used for ages in greece is not fit for the 20th 20 may 21 century in the system does not seem to be working quite a lot of the time even communicating by using wi—fi between

the various drivers of the trains does not work and there is a serious problem of getting the messages incorrectly communicating to those who matter and i think will be seen in a lot of what we have seen is that there is also human error that is taken place and you have to be on top of the situation and it all depends on one person looking at where the train is gone and whether tjy where the train is gone and whether by accident they may have gone into the wrong track because it is double track all the way through more or less athens to the north. and that really should not have happened. send really should not have happened. and the public reaction, what do you see? b. the public reaction, what do you see? : . . the public reaction, what do you see? : :, :, :, the public reaction, what do you see? : :, :, ., ., ., the public reaction, what do you see? :, :, ., ., :, :, , see? a lot of anger and not doubt about it. see? a lot of anger and not doubt about it- and _ see? a lot of anger and not doubt about it. and the _ see? a lot of anger and not doubt about it. and the government i about it. and the government actually at the organisation which is supposed to be controlling the whole system may have a regulator,

the greek regulator on the train operator which the company rail operating site is been sold a few years ago during some deep years of the crisis where 6reece years ago during some deep years of the crisis where greece was in trouble. and they started and sold it to an italian company that was state owned this company which calls itself has been charged a few times failing to for keep to the proper system of safety but that isn't really the issue. the real issue is the framework and infrastructure just isn't there to make sure that the system is safe and so, the anger has been very much levelled at the government in the organisation which is supposed to be controlling the infrastructure and it hasn't been kept up to modern standards and without a doubt, that is may be

leading to political repercussions and we have elections in greece that are meant to be announced on march the 9th and they'll be taking place within a month and there is a possibility that this can be postponed and the autumn in the limit to how far those elections can be postponed to because there's so much that needs to be done and i would imagine that the government is right and i'm quite concerned about what the impact of this protest might be for them.— what the impact of this protest might be for them. thank you for our might be for them. thank you for your time- _ it's search for a missing baby and we are just securing from the crown prosecution service you're in the uk that constance martin and mark 6ordon have been charged with gross

negligence. 6 ross 6ross negligence, manslaughter after the remains of the debris were found in an area in brighton. that is in the southern part of england near the southern part of england near the coast of that news coming in from the crown prosecution service we cannot give you too much details because there is now a criminal charge attached to this case. so — as the war in ukraine takes centre stage at the 620 meeting — let's look at the latest that's happening on the ground. russian state media says a sabotage group — working for ukraine — infiltrated a border region, and took several people hostage. russia now claims its forced them back into ukrainian territory. that border region is bryansk — you can see it's right on russia's border with ukraine.

its 6overnor says saboteurs fired on a car, and two people were killed. ukraine responded. "the story about the ukrainian sabotage group in russia is a classic deliberate provocation," said mykhailo podolyak — who is an advisor to ukraine's president zelensky. ukraine says it's another, but president putin has also commented on this — he's called it a terrorist act. i'm joined by a russian editor and we, what can we actually verify on this? ~ ., we, what can we actually verify on this? : ., ., , , , we, what can we actually verify on this? . . . , , , , ., ., this? what happened is unusual and stranue. it this? what happened is unusual and strange- it is — this? what happened is unusual and strange. it is unusual— this? what happened is unusual and

strange. it is unusual because i strange. it is unusual because nothing like this happen before and it's strange for several reasons, all starting with a torrent of reports this morning by a pro—kremlin accounts of the total atrocity in the region. up to 50 ukrainian saboteurs on a rampage and russian villages, taking people hostage, firing at cars, even at a school bus, setting fire to houses and then, this narrative suddenly changed and russian media started saying that it was just one car i was shot at and one person died and then they said another person died as well. and then it transpired that allegedly, all these ukrainian saboteurs were able to escape back

to russia after their audacious raid and incredibly, still, about 12 hours after this attack was supposed to have happened, there been no photographs, no videos showing the actual attack or its aftermath. i was looking at russian media just now and they're just showing pictures of maps of the area or comments by officials and even the people who they present as eyewitnesses, they are not individual, there interviewed over the phone and so, it is a very strange incident.— the phone and so, it is a very strange incident. the phone and so, it is a very stranue incident. : :, , , strange incident. and others been in misinformation _ strange incident. and others been in misinformation and _ strange incident. and others been in misinformation and on _ strange incident. and others been in misinformation and on all— strange incident. and others been in misinformation and on all sides, i misinformation and on all sides, disinformation, how do we verify what happened here and what at

telus, potential escalations that would people are worried about? president putin is chairing the meeting tomorrow and will be important to see if russia uses this accident if it took place but whatever happened here, it can serve the objective of selling the ward to audiences of russia because there can be no doubt that this is what this would support ukrainian neo—nazis, especially calls them, this what they want to do. they want to attack russia, kill russia's children and burn houses and whatever happened there, it clearly serves a certain purpose that helps the kremlin media machine. t0 serves a certain purpose that helps the kremlin media machine. to stay with us because _ the kremlin media machine. to stay with us because we _ the kremlin media machine. to stay with us because we want _ the kremlin media machine. to stay with us because we want to - the kremlin media machine. to stay with us because we want to get i the kremlin media machine. to stay with us because we want to get an l with us because we want to get an update on the latest on the actual fighting in ukraine because it

continues. and the fighting continues around the eastern city of bakhmut. president zelensky says ukraine's biggest challenge right now is defending bakhmut. what is the latest that we know? russian forces are making slow but certain progress towards encircling and russian troops are on the outskirts of bakhmut and so, this battle has been going on for months and it's depleted both countries resources in a major way without so far reading to any significant movement of troops on the battlefield. stay with us on outside source — still to come.

how the great pyramid of 6iza continues to reveal extraordinary secrets. scientists discover a new hidden corridor. we'll bring you the first picture. the journalist who leaked more than 100 thousand whatsapp messages to and from the former health secretary matt hancock insists it was in public interest. isabel oakeshott, obtained the messages while she was working with matt hancock on a book last year and handed them to the daily telegraph. matt hancock has accused her of a "massive betrayal". our political editor chris mason has been speaking to her. in a window of this bunker in the corner of this news room, more than half a dozen daily telegraph journalists spent two months ploughing through two million words of messages.

who has a pro—lockdown agenda? is that a thing? i think that absolutely i want to get to the heart of whether the repeated lockdowns were the right and proportionate response to the pandemic. what about the argument that it isn't in the public interest, because it is partial and the proper forum for an analysis is a public inquiry, nota drip, drip. i love the idea of a public inquiry. sweden wrapped theirs up last year. yesn in an ideal word, that is the proper forum. the public inquiry has no deadline, people in this country deserve to know what really happened behind the scenes.

if that meant betraying matt hancock, that is fine? well, look, i take that seriously. of course i do. but the public interest was overwhelming. it isn't just about it isn'tjust about matt hancock, this is so much bigger. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is... a meeting of 620 foreign ministers has ended without agreement, amid terse exchanges over russia's war in ukraine. public anger is mounting in greece following tuesday's train crash, as the number of people confirmed dead rises to 57. jason was told he would need constant care and those with the tick of a research position at the

university of cambridge. i always felt it was a privilege to have a period of 11 years where maybe i couldn't speak and i couldn't converse while everyone else could, because it allowed me to see things in a different way. professorjason arday was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at the age of three. he couldn't speak until he was 11 and read or write until he was 18. throughout his early years, his parents continued to believe in him. at 18, my mum had got to a point where there was only so much she could do, and she was brilliant. even though she had this belief that, you know, he will do something ok, but she decided i need someone else to believe in him as much as i believe in him. therapists predicted he would need full—time assistance throughout his life. how wrong they were. you ok? it was this man, college tutor sandro sandri, who helped teach jason to read and write at 18. i'm just so happy for him, you know? i'm speechless, to be honest.

but i never doubted for a moment that he would achieve what he has. sandro would spend hours of his free time teaching jason. there's one thing you said to me which i neverforgot, and it was when i was 22 and i said to you i was thinking about doing a phd. and you said to me that it would be the greatest story in the world if the kid who didn't know how to read or write managed to get a phd. now to egypt where officials have revealed the discovery of long corridor inside the last of the seven wonders of the ancient world still standing, the great pyramid of 6iza. the pyramid — which is about 11 miles from the centre of cairo — is also known as khufu's pyramid for its builder, a pharaoh

who reigned during 2000 bc. this is the corridor — you can see it looks a bit like a chamber — was found by the scan pyramids project, an international programm that uses scans to look at unexplored sections of the ancient structure. looking through one of the openings underneath the entrance, this scan revealed the existence of a corridor. nine metres long and 2.2 metres wide. with this ceiling most likely, this corridor was built to relieve the weight of the pyramid. so, we're told this corridor was built to relieve the weight of the pyramid but at this point, its true function is unknown. but, corridors like these often lead to further archaeological discoveries, as egyptian archaeologist zahi hawass explains. this is protecting and we cannot see it as a corridor at all. there is no way that a corridor would be good

because another corridor, between the metres and today, it is something important and for the first time, it is still existing and this is what we could discover and thatis this is what we could discover and that is what i'm sure in the months of now, i can see from saying this is correct or not. but again, we are in the front of a very important one. i'm joined now by egyptologist dr kathleen martin—ez who previously led a search to find cleopatra's lost tomb. thank you for being with us and how exciting is this discovery? flit exciting is this discovery? of things on exciting is this discovery? oi things on the most exciting discoveries in this year and he can bring great, great news about many news of the pyramids that we do not know. : , : news of the pyramids that we do not know. :, , :, , news of the pyramids that we do not know. : , : it news of the pyramids that we do not know-— it will. - news of the pyramids that we do not know._ it will, it i

scientists and the ones that are leading this project to funnel this tunnel and for the discoveries for example, it could lead to a tomb, it could lead to hidden treasures and most important, it will help to understand from the construction of the pyramids which are not even clear today and the discovery of the corridors in the tunnel and side the great pyramid of 6iza is one of the greatest discoveries of this time. thank you so much for bearing with us and sorry about the sound problems but it is great to speak to you and they are magical structures and i'm sure everyone has seen, i still haven't managed to take my children but i hope to soon and one can imagine how those still studying those structures. stay with us and

i'm on twitter if you like to get in touch. hello there. moving into march means that technically, meteorologically speaking, we have left the winter behind us. but it may not feel that way as we head into next week, with some colder weather on the way. cold enough for snow in some places. but right now it is not particularly cold out there. it is fairly cloudy in many spots. this is the earlier satellite picture. we have seen some sunshine, though, across southern areas. we'll continue to see some of that across southern england, parts of wales and the midlands as we head through the rest of the day. further north, there will be more cloud. and for northern england, northern ireland and scotland, that cloud will produce some showers at times. a little bit brighter in the north west of scotland and temperatures of 6 to 10 degrees. that's about where they have been

throughout this week. now through tonight, we will see more cloud rolling its way back in across england and wales. northern ireland quite cloudy as well. clearer skies likely to be in northwest scotland and perhaps for a time in west wales and the south west of england and where there are any clear skies overhead, a touch of frost to take us into tomorrow morning. tomorrow there'll be more cloud in the south england, wales, northern ireland seeing a fair amount of cloud, maybe the odd spot of rain. across the northern half of scotland, that's where we'll see some of the best of the sunshine, although the northern isles will see the odd shower, and it will be quite breezy. temperatures between seven and nine degrees. now into the weekend, we start the change to something colder. this cold front works its way into the picture on saturday. quite a weak affair, a band of clouds, some patchy rain moving its way into eastern parts of the uk. but even further west we'll tend to see increasing amounts of clouds. temperatures again around seven, eight or nine degrees. but it is going to feel just a little bit colder as we head into sunday. and if you look at the charts, the showers that will be quite well scattered across the country will start to turn wintry in places, particularly over high ground at this stage. some slightly more persistent rain

into northern scotland, and those temperatures just starting to drop back a little. but its as we head into next week that we see this surge of cold air from the north, and at times it will be quite windy. that will only accentuate the chilly feel and it will be cold enough for snow to fall. but the exact detail about where that snow might fall that will only accentuate the chilly feel and it will be cold enough for snow to fall. but the exact detail about where that snow might fall is still somewhat uncertain. we will keep you posted.

hello, i'm 6eeta 6uru—murthy. this is outside source. a meeting of 620 foreign ministers concludes without a joint statement, as divisions deepen over russia's war in ukraine. i told the foreign minister what i and so many others said last week with the united nations and what so many 620 foreign ministers said today — end this war of aggression. the us and russian foreign ministers met at the summit for the first time since the ukraine invasion. also on the programme: the head of britain's m15 says he's profoundly sorry that the security services failed to prevent the manchester arena bombing. 22 people died in the 2017 attack. an inquiry finds m15 did miss

a significant chance to take action that might have prevented it. as the number of dead from 6reece's train crash rises to 57, public anger mounts over decades of under—investment and lax safety standards. and how the great pyramid of 6iza continues to reveal we begin in india, where the 620 meeting has taken place and where the us and russian foreign ministers met in public for first time since the invasion of ukraine, but their exchange has been tense. it's normal for a joint statement to be made at the 620. this time, no statement was made — the disagreements between western countries and russia made that impossible. earlier, we heard from the us secretary of state, antony blinken. i told the foreign minister what i and so many others said last week at the united nations and what so many 620 foreign ministers said today — end this war of aggression, engage in meaningful diplomacy

that can produce a just and endurable peace. so, strong words from antony blinken, and russia had its own response. its foreign minister sergei lavrov held a meeting his chinese counterpart oin 6ang. and russian officials said moscow and beijing had agreed to oppose what they called western blackmail and threats. this hasn't been confirmed by china. now, let's hear what mr lavrov had to say. translation: unfortunately, the declaration on behalf— unfortunately, the declaration on behalf of— unfortunately, the declaration on behalf of all 620 ministers could not be _ behalf of all 620 ministers could not be approved. our western colleagues, just as they did a year ago. _ colleagues, just as they did a year ago. tried — colleagues, just as they did a year ago, tried by all means using various— ago, tried by all means using various rhetorical statements to bring _ various rhetorical statements to bring to — various rhetorical statements to bring to the forward the situation around _ bring to the forward the situation around ukraine, which they hope for is present— around ukraine, which they hope for is present under the guise of so-called _ is present under the guise of so—called russian aggression. we know that antony blinken met sergei lavrov for about ten minutes on the sidelines

at this meeting. our us state department correspondent barbara plett usher has more. mr lincoln made the point that the us would support ukraine toward the end of the war —— mr blinken. also asked for the release of an american detainee, paulwhelen. he said it was less than a ten minute discussion, it had been arranged ahead of time, but it was the first time the two men met face—to—face since the war. moscow really played it down, saying that mr blinken asked for the contact and it wasn't asked for the contact and it wasn't a proper meeting. asked for the contact and it wasn't a proper meeting-— asked for the contact and it wasn't a proper meeting. i asked for the contact and it wasn't a proper meeting. the 620 includes the world's 19 wealthiest nations plus the european union. foreign ministers from russia,

the us and china are in delhi for the summit. the indian pm hoped delegates could find common ground, at a time of "deep global divisions". food security, development cooperation and humanitarian assistance were all on the agenda. let's hear now from the indian prime minister. by by the geopolitical tensions of the day. they— by the geopolitical tensions of the day. they all have... and how this tension _ day. they all have... and how this tension should be resolved. however, at the _ tension should be resolved. however, at the leading economic of the world, — at the leading economic of the world, we _ at the leading economic of the world, we also have a responsibility that those _ world, we also have a responsibility that those who are not in this room. that statement from narendra modi, a call for common ground, reflects india's position on this war. it's has walked a diplomatic tightrope over ukraine, trying to balance its ties with russia and the west. that's because of its diplomatic position. india has a long been non—aligned and has maintained links with both the usa and russia, which is india's largest supplier of arms.

india, along with china and many other nations, has abstained from voting on western—backed un resolutions censuring russia, including a vote held at the un general assembly last week. delhi has also explained why it's increased oil imports from russia, saying it has to look after the needs of more than1 billion people, but it's also talked about the need for territorial integrity. let's get more on india's position from former indian diplomat jitendra nath misra. these actions are helping everybody because _ these actions are helping everybody because of— these actions are helping everybody because of india _ these actions are helping everybody because of india doesn't _ these actions are helping everybody because of india doesn't speak- these actions are helping everybody because of india doesn't speak to i because of india doesn't speak to moscow. — because of india doesn't speak to moscow. india _ because of india doesn't speak to moscow, india will— because of india doesn't speak to moscow, india will have - because of india doesn't speak to moscow, india will have no - because of india doesn't speak to i moscow, india will have no influence on moscow — moscow, india will have no influence on moscow i— moscow, india will have no influence on moscow. i will _ moscow, india will have no influence on moscow. i will say _ moscow, india will have no influence on moscow. i will say that _ moscow, india will have no influence on moscow. i will say that you - moscow, india will have no influence on moscow. i will say that you have. on moscow. i will say that you have to talk— on moscow. i will say that you have to talk to all — on moscow. i will say that you have to talk to all sides _ on moscow. i will say that you have to talk to all sides to _ on moscow. i will say that you have to talk to all sides to have - on moscow. i will say that you have to talk to all sides to have some i to talk to all sides to have some credibility— to talk to all sides to have some credibility with _ to talk to all sides to have some credibility with all— to talk to all sides to have some credibility with all sides - to talk to all sides to have some credibility with all sides to i to talk to all sides to have some credibility with all sides to be i credibility with all sides to be able — credibility with all sides to be able to— credibility with all sides to be able to play— credibility with all sides to be able to play a _ credibility with all sides to be able to play a role. _ credibility with all sides to be able to play a role. india i credibility with all sides to be able to play a role. india is. credibility with all sides to be i able to play a role. india is also trying _ able to play a role. india is also trying to— able to play a role. india is also trying to speak _ able to play a role. india is also trying to speak on _ able to play a role. india is also trying to speak on behalf - able to play a role. india is also trying to speak on behalf of the global— trying to speak on behalf of the global south, _ trying to speak on behalf of the global south, and _ trying to speak on behalf of the global south, and secretary- trying to speak on behalf of the i global south, and secretary blinken was on _ global south, and secretary blinken was on board — for more on all of this, i spoke to peter frankopan, a professor of global history at the university of oxford.

i asked him if this was a sign of some success. it’s i asked him if this was a sign of some success.— i asked him if this was a sign of some success. �* , . , some success. it's always good when the net some success. it's always good when the let a some success. it's always good when they get a chance _ some success. it's always good when they get a chance to _ some success. it's always good when they get a chance to meet. _ one has to be pragmatic and realistic about what the likely outcome is going to be. i think having hurt for minister lavrov�*s i think having heard foreign minister lavrov�*s comments this morning, i don't look like russia is in the business of trying to make friendly noises, kind of cosiliation. in fact it looks like russia is banging the table quite hard with its fist. so, it has got to be good there is some dialogue, but i think it's trying to find a way to this it is going to allow a de—escalation of the situation and ukraine. i'm probably a bit more pessimistic about all of that. what do you think of the role china is at the moment and all of this? first, is always difficult to tell with china.

eyes and ears are very restricted. i think that the signals from beijing are that china's trying to walk quite a narrow path and it clearly doesn't want to antagonize the us and jeopardise its relationship which is already very strained and is being dealt with with a series of restrictions particularly around technology. at the same time, both for internal messaging but also outside china, it's important the chinese don't look like they're doing what they're told by the us. so, the chinese have to sort of work through what they think the likely outcome is going to be in it russia and ukraine in the first instance, second, what are the benefits that china does get from the war? which is cheaper levels of energy in it we can rush it was probably in china's interest at least in the short term. then try to navigate out does china come through to the other side of what that well might look like if and when this war ever comes to an end. but i think one has to also take a step back from the idea that china can tell moscow what to do.

i don't think that putin looks like he's ever did going to take instructions from anybody and so whatever it is the chinese might throw into russia's court delivered a solution, throw into russia's court for a solution, is not totally clear that would have an impact and i think that's known quite clearly in beijing, too. here in the uk, the inquiry into the manchester arena bombing has found that m15 missed a significant opportunity in the months running up to it that might have prevented the attack. the attack took place on the 22nd of may 2017 after an ariana 6rande concert, killing 22 people. the final part of the inquiry, which has been held in private, has looked at what the intelligence services knew about the bomber, salman abedi. previous reports found failings in both the security at the venue and the response from the emergency services. judith moritz reports. only salman abedi detonated the bomb which killed the people which killed 22 people

at manchester arena, but others bear responsibility and the agencies failed to stop him. the inquiry report spells it out. m15 let abedi through the net. i have found a significant missed opportunity to take action that might have prevented the attack. there was a realistic possibility that actionable intelligence could have been obtained which might have led to action preventing the attack. the reason for this missed opportunity included a failure by the security service, in my view, to act swiftly enough. abedi set off his suicide bomb in the foyer at the end of an ariana 6rande concert. teenagers were leaving, parents were waiting for their children. the youngest to die was just eight years old.

for the families of those who were murdered, the findings are hard to take. all we as families have asked for from day one is the truth, hopefully next time, there won't be as many families going through the utter heartbreak we have had to ensure for the last five years, nine months. _ for the last five years, nine months, one week and one day. forgiveness will never be an option for those that played any part in the murder of our children will never ever get forgiveness. from top to bottom, mi5 to the associates of the attacker, we will always believe you played a part in the murder of our children. m15 said it is sorry the security service did not prevent the attack. this is didsbury mosque, where the abedis worshipped. the report found leaders

were wilfully blind to extremism on the premise. the chairman was described as an unreliable witness. i can tell you here and now, i there is no place for radicalisation or politics or any evil acts. no—one can be radicalisedl with a ten—minute sermon. but this is about political meetings. i repeat and i hope you have it on, there are no political meetings. i ido i do not care what people say. the inquiry said there was meetings. have they been to the mosque? they heard what they were told. people with would sometimes lie. they heard evidence from one of your immams. i said he is a liar. many of the things he did were not correct. i i do not care what he said, but i tell you he lied. i you did not turn a blind eye? we did not turn a blind eye.

the report found salman abedi's father ramadam holds significant responsibility for radicalising his son. there was criticism of the eldest abedi brother, who fled the country in defiance of a court order to appear at the inquiry. the report found that m15 and counterterrorism police each failed to share intelligence. that's something that both organisations say has improved since, allowing our cameras in their joint operations centre to illustrate the way they work together. this is the first time that journalists have been allowed inside this building and the obviously tight security prevents us from filming much of what goes on here. but this place is being held up as an example of positive change. it was built in response to the manchester arena bombing and the other terror attacks that happened that year. in five years, since this incident happened, there's already been

an internal inquiry by m15 and 102 recommendations were put in place. the last two are being put in place as we speak. there are no doubt many more changes that will be needed from the report. i will make absolute sure they are put in place as well. the bombing was manchester's darkest day. tonight, its mayor said the country was not prepared for a terror attack like it to happen here and the findings must be used both to protect and respond better in future. judith moritz, bbc news, manchester. stay with us on outside source. how the great pyramid of 6iza still reveals secrets, we bring you the first picture. 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. i 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 lead story — a meeting of 620 foreign ministers has ended without agreement amid terse exchanges over russia's war in ukraine. but they didn't meet briefly on the sidelines for the first time publicly since the ukraine invasion. let's get the latest from greece now. as we just said, 57 people are now confirmed to have been killed in that train crash. the country's new transport minister has promised answers after his predecessor immediately resigned, describing the railway system as "not fit for the 20th century". first, let's hearfrom him. translation: the investigation into the cause will take place i in a way that will be transparent and utterly thorough, as the prime minister has instructed. today, an ad hoc committee of experts will be set up to examine the systemic causes which led to the tragedy we're living through and any anomalies orfailures over time, if they existed.

now, a reminder of how the head—on crash came about late on tuesday. it involved a passenger service from athens to thessaloniki and a freight service coming in the opposite direction on the same track, in the tempi district north of the city of larissa. this is the devastation the collision caused, with the front carriages of the passenger train largely destroyed as they came off the tracks and overturned, some catching fire. the force of the explosions were captured by a security camera. two fireballs ripping through the carriages. andreas alikaniotis was on the train, but managed to escape by breaking the window glass. he described the moment of impact. ifelt, some, like, glass, and when i hearthe bang, i was already in the air with my friend. i was bumping into the bulkheads, so it was just terrifying. it was just like a horror movie. this has been the scene today

in larissa, where hundreds of people queued in the rain to donate blood for those injured. many of the victims were university students returning home after a long holiday weekend. here's one young donor on why she's given blood. it was very emotional for me i because my brother go to the train yesterday and went to athens on the same train, _ but different hour. and this could be, you know... ..this could be avoided. the station master at larissa has appeared in court in the city over the disaster. this was a car carrying the 59—year—old as he arrived. he's accused of manslaughter by negligence but has denied any wrongdoing, blaming the crash on a technical fault. the greek prime minister, kyriakos mitsotakis, who visited the scene of the crash on wednesday, has said the disaster was due to a "tragic human error". but there were protests in a number of greek cities late on wednesday by people angry at what they see as systemic failures. this was athens, where police fired tear gas after a crowd gathered

outside the offices of the train operator hellenic train, some throwing stones at the building. many expressed anger at what they say is inadequate investment in the country's railways and the lack of automation in the safety system. this was thessaloniki, where protesters vented their fury outside the railway station. the rail network is at a standstill today, as you can see, as rail workers stage a one—day strike over what unions say is government neglect. it's emerged that greece was referred to the eu court ofjustice for failings in its railway infrastructure just two weeks before a crash. here's anthee carassava, 6reece correspondent at the times. what has sent shockwaves across the country right now is the extent to which this system was simply blind, that the taxpayers had in fact paid for a security system which was never installed. there were initial plans before the 2004 olympics in 2000 for a special security system to be

installed, to upgrade surveillance of this railway system. and the system was never installed, meaning that the way that the station masters were communicating was how they did in the early 20th century. i asked 6reek—born british economist vicky pryce how much under—investment in the railways is to blame for the crisis. well, this is a very emotional time, of course, for all the greeks saying what happened. there is no doubt that the system that has been used for ages in greece, really, is not fit for the 20th century. the signalling system doesn't seem to be working quite a lot of the time, even communicating by using wi—fi between the various station masters and also of course those drivers of the trains doesn't work. there is a serious problem of getting the messages correctly communicated to those who matter. i think a little bit of what we've seen, in fact

a lot of what we've seen, is that, but there is also human error i think that's taken place. but of course, you know, you have to be on top of the situation if it all depends on one person looking at where the train has gone and whether by accident they may have gone into the wrong track because it is double—track all the way from more or less athens to thessaloniki in the north. and that really shouldn't have happened. now to egypt, where officials have revealed the discovery of long a couple of been charged with gross negligence after remains of a baby were found in a wooded area in southern england. joining me is our news correspondent, john donis and. this news has come through the last hour or so. this news has come through the last hour orso. it's this news has come through the last hour or so. it's come from the crown prosecution services, saying that mark 6ordon prosecution services, saying that mark gordon and constance marten have been charged with gross negligence manslaughter and

perverting the course ofjustice. this comes a day after the remains of a baby were found in will the engineered breitling after a two—day search —— in the wood. they've also said they haven't been able to determine the sex of the child. 35—year—old marten and 38—year—old 6ordon were arrested on monday and are due to appear before court tomorrow. joit are due to appear before court tomorrow-— are due to appear before court tomorrow. , :, ,:, ., ,, , :, tomorrow. jon donnison, thank you ve much tomorrow. jon donnison, thank you very much indeed. _ now to egypt, where officials have revealed the discovery of long corridor inside the last of the seven wonders of the ancient world still standing — the great pyramid of 6iza. the pyramid, which is about 11 miles from the centre of cairo, is also known as khufu's pyramid for its builder, a pharaoh who reigned during 2000 bc. this is the corridor. you can see it looks a bit like a chamber. it was found by the scan pyramids

project, an international programm that uses scans to look at unexplored sections of the ancient structure. translation: looking through one of the openings underneath the entrance, this scan revealed the existence of a corridor. nine metres long and 2.2 metres wide. with a chevron ceiling, most likely, this corridor was built to relieve the weight of the pyramid. so, we're told this corridor was built to relieve the weight of the pyramid, but at this point, its true function is unknown. but corridors like these often lead to further archaeological discoveries, as egyptian archaeologist zahi hawass explains. this is protecting something, we cannot see it as a corridor at all. there is no way that

a corridor would be here because another corridor, between the metres and today, it is something important and for the first time, it is still existing and this is what we could discover and that is what i'm sure in the months of now, i can see from saying this is correct or not. but again, we are in the front of a very important one. earlier, i spoke to doctor kathleen martin is, and i asked her why this is so amazing —— martinez. i think it's one of the most exciting discoveries in this year, and it can bring great, great news about many things of the pyramids that we don't know. can you explain why? the tunnel itself, it is only very promising when we discover a tunnel. because it's a huge effort and it's not built for nothing, it has a reason.

it could be leading to a tomb, it could be built as a process of building the pyramids and we don't not know much about the construction of the pyramid and so, it could be built to hide treasures, so, a lot of promising discoveries connected to the discovery of this tunnel. how could it help reveal the burial chamber of king khufu still existing? king khufu is still existing? well, this is one first step, the discovery of the tunnel is leading to somewhere. and imagine what it would be for the world if we could discover the tomb of king khufu, it would be a wonderful and incredible discovery. kathleen martin is there. let me

just show you these pictures from california, where millions of people are under a freeze warning with the state of emergency declared in 13 places. rescue crews are working all hours to get out communities and mountainous regions. 75,000 thousands of businesses were without power as of thursday morning. amazing pictures. there's been a meeting of the 620 foreign ministers in india. the foreign ministers of russia and america and anthony blink and have met on the sidelines for about ten minutes. if the first time they have met face—to—face in public like this since the start of the ukrainian war. we've been given some details. of course, the tensions diplomatically still very much

obvious. thanks for watching. back very soon. hello. it hasn't being a particularly dramatic day weather—wise, and things will stay quite quiet over the next couple of days. but i want to draw your attention to what is on the way next week, something colder with the chance of some snow. more on that to come, but let's start with a look back at the satellite picture from a little earlier on today. you can see that cloud amounts did vary across the uk. quite a lot of sunshine across southern england, wales, the midlands. further north, there was more in the way of cloud. that cloud producing some showers, and actually through the night, i think we'll see more cloud rolling back into southern and central parts of england, getting across into east wales as well. northern ireland and southern scotland often quite cloudy. but with some clear spells, north—west scotland is likely to see a frost and there could be a touch of frost for a time in the far south—west of england and the far west of wales. but these areas could well

start tomorrow with some spells of sunshine. generally, there will be some quite large areas of cloud around through the day. around through the day — still capable of producing the odd spot of rain, the odd light shower. the skies perhaps brightening for northern england and east anglia through the afternoon, and across scotland, there should be some sunshine, although the northern isles will be quite showery and quite breezy as well. temperatures around 7, 8 or 9 degrees. and then as we head into the weekend, this frontal system starts to push its way in from the north. it is a cold front, and it will start to introduce some slightly colder air. not a dramatic change at this point, but the frontal system will bring a band of clouds and some splashes of rain into north—east scotland, eventually into eastern parts of england. further west, mainly dry, some sunny spells, but i think increasing amounts of cloud. temperatures 8—9 degrees for most of us, but three degrees there for lerwick, a sign of things to come. as we get into sunday,

the air turns a little bit colder, and so some of the showers will start to turn wintry, particularly over high ground. some more persistent rain with some sleet mixing in across the north of scotland, and temperature starting to come down just a little. now, as we move into next week, this is when we see a real surge of cold air pushing down from the north. with that, it will often be quite windy, so that will accentuate the chilly feel, and it is certainly going to be cold enough for snow to fall. although the detail of exactly where and when that might happen remains open to some uncertainty. of cold air pushing down from the north. with that, it will often be quite windy, so that we will keep you posted.

this is bbc news. he will have the headlines and all the main new stories for you at the top of the hour straight after this news programme. this week, we're walking on sunshine. yes, paul carter and the waves are catching some rays on the water. mark bangs the drums as he gets lost in the latest psvr2 headset. and zoe's walking on broken glass.

but don't worry, she's on the mend.
