this is bbc news — welcome if you're watching here in the uk or around the globe. our top stories. fire sweeps through a bangladesh refugee camp destroying shelters and leaving 12,000 rohingya people homeless. the greek prime minister has asked for forgiveness from the families of 57 people who died in the country's worst ever train crash last week following days of protests across greece. military spending in china will increase by more than 7% this year as premier li qiang said attempts to contain china were escalating. the uk prime minister pledges to deport all small boat arrivals by asylum seekers. after a decade of talks,

more than a hundred un member states agree on a treaty to protect the world's oceans. the ship has reached the shore. cheering and applause a huge fire has ripped through one of the rohingya refugee camps in cox's bazar in south—east bangladesh. the charity action aid said their initial assessment was that more than 2000 shelters had been gutted, leaving around 12,000 people homeless. hundreds of thousands of rohingya refugees, who escaped violence in neighbouring myanmar, have been living in crammed camps near the border in bangladesh.

earlier i spoke to our south asia correspondent anbarasan ethirajan who started off my telling me where the fire took place and gave me an update on what we know so far. it is a very sprawling camp where tens of thousands of people live in cramped conditions. and these huts are made up of bamboo and sometimes by polythene sheets or even tin roofs — and they are packed. there are tens of thousands of people living there. in the evenings, somehow the fire starts by accident. but officials say they managed to bring it under control. but thousands of people are now affected. they are now homeless, with the women and children as the aid worker was saying. it is a very terrible condition because they will be staying outside in the cold. but the aid agencies say they are providing all of the help. it is also a reminder of all the situation of rohingya refugees where nearly a million of them escaped violence from neighbouring myanmar.

these camps are situated very close to the border. many people feel, the rohingya community feel, they have been forgotten by the world communuity. joining me now is safwan chowdhury who is a officerfor bangladesh red crescent society who is in cox bazaarfor us now. could you just give us an update first of all. could you just give us an update first of all-— first of all. the fire broke out in the camp. _ first of all. the fire broke out in the camp. 2000 _ first of all. the fire broke out in the camp, 2000 shoulders - first of all. the fire broke out in | the camp, 2000 shoulders were initially damaged. were fairly burned down which... they managed to supply workers to put down the fire and it is now under control. the

ever train crash. he addressed the nation in a facebook post, following the days of protests. violent clashes have broken out between police and protesters outside the greek parliament in athens. the collision between passenger and freight trains, in which at least 57 people died, has caused nationwide outrage. 0fficers said 12,000 people had gathered in front of the parliament to demand accountability for the collision. the hellenic train company has told the bbc world news it will support the victims, in cooperation with the ministry of transport and all relevant authorities. it says it lost 9 employees in the tragedy. an historic agreement to protect the world's oceans has been approved, after ten years of talks. the high seas treaty aims to safeguard marine life in 30% of areas that don't belong to any single country, most

of which are currently unprotected. the deal, which was finalised at the united nations in new york, is being hailed as a �*significant step' by environmental campaigners, as our climate reporter esme stallard reports. the high seas are home to most of the world's marine life — some two million species which provide food, jobs and medicines needed for human survival. after two straight days of negotiations, countries have agreed for the first time to work together to protect these ocean regions. the ship has reached the shore. cheering and applause we will formally adopt the text in all six official languages of the united nations. the world's international waters — or high seas — aren't controlled by any nation. until now, all countries had a right to fish, ship and research in these areas, but it's left the animals and plants

living there vulnerable. 10% of monitored species are at risk of extinction. i think that this treaty that will lay the groundwork for creating 30% of the ocean into marine sanctuaries that cannot be fished in is so important. we have to save these creatures. talks were deadlocked for years — mostly over how genetic material from plants and animals found in the high seas should be shared between nations. several important drugs — including treatments for covid, hiv and cancer — were developed from marine life. the potential for profit is huge. now richer nations have promised to give a share of the proceeds from any products developed from the deep ocean to developing countries. the problem they still face is working out the value of the deep seas.

it's a little bit hard to even wrap our heads around how big and how distant these areas are. if you imagine, like, a big high—definition widescreen tv, and if only, like, three or four of the pixels on that giant screen are working, that's kind of our knowledge of the deep ocean. like, we don't know so much of what's going on. an agreement might have been reached, but that is just the first step. before it enters into force, 60 countries need to sign the treaty and incorporate it into their national legislation. it is hoped this will be finished within a few years. esme stallard, bbc news. china has announced a large increase in military spending and says it'll train more of its soldiers under combat conditions, at the country's once—a—year parliamentary session. but the annual congress has set a modest target for post—pandemic economic growth this year. as our china correspondent, stephen mcdonell reports from beijing, the gathering is also being used by xi jinping to further

consolidate his power. the message to this mass gathering was that the government here has a plan for post—pandemic recovery. after xi jinping's standing took a hit from the strict anti—covid measures which hurt many people's livelihoods. the premier defended the party's handling of covid. translation: we overcame difficulties. _ we succeeded in maintaining an overall stable economic performance. ditching zero—covid has brought the economy back to life, and a 5% growth target was announced for this year. analysts think this is conservative. people are flocking to the major cities in search of opportunities, and the rebound is... i will say better than expected originally. people told us they're definitely spending more. translation: we are going out| with friends, eating and drinking.

translation: the covid restrictions really affected business, _ and now we are back to normal. china's economy is already rebounding — but it is, after all, coming off a pretty low base following years of pandemic. now there are concerns that these key economic roles within government are all to be filled with xi jinping loyalists, who won't be giving him the frank and fearless advice he needs to be hearing about the trajectory of the country. the outgoing premier is a respected economist from a different power block to mr xi. the man expected to replace him was once xi jinping's chief of staff. it seems everyone now is from team xi. stephen mcdonell, bbc news, beijing. the british prime minister, rishi sunak, says he's committed to ensuring that people arriving here on small boats to claimed asylum will be sent back.

mr sunak says he wants to end the "immoral trade" of criminal gangs. in the coming week, the uk's government is expected to announce legislation that will push for people arriving in small boats to be removed to other countries, including rwanda. but charities say the proposals are "vindictive" and "extremely concerning". the northern ireland secretary, chris heaton—harris, told the bbc�*s laura kuenssberg that this was just one measure being considered to halt refugee arrivals in small boats crossing the english channel. it is part of a whole range of things, a whole gambit of things, to try and both keep people in home country or as close to home country as we possibly can, to try to make sure they are looked after in the first free country they might come to, try and stop illegal people trafficking, which is a huge part

in this and crack down on that, legislation at home to return people who come here illegally, a whole range of things. but where are you proposing people go if they arrive here? _ hopefully we will get to the point where they are arriving legally... but where should they go? it does not sound like what you have here is a practical proposal- for the many thousands who have been arriving in the uk _ i am not accepting your premise because i do not think there will be tens of thousands of people coming if we get this right, certainly illegally. we're accepting huge numbers of people legally to come to the uk, but i believe this plan, this complete plan, will do the job. let's go to our political correspondent helen catt at westminster. hello there. what's your reaction has there been to those comments

today. has there been to those comments toda . . , , has there been to those comments toda . ., , , ., ., today. there has been quite a range of reaction. — today. there has been quite a range of reaction. as _ today. there has been quite a range of reaction, as you _ today. there has been quite a range of reaction, as you said _ today. there has been quite a range of reaction, as you said rishi - today. there has been quite a range of reaction, as you said rishi sunak| of reaction, as you said rishi sunak has made this one of his priorities in government. 0ver has made this one of his priorities in government. over 115,000 people who cross the english channel in this way in small boats last year, there is an acknowledgement that this is a problem. but people smugglers are running these operations and that somehow it needs to be stopped. but there has been a range of reaction to the government's plan to stop it particularly this new legislation. there have been some concerns raised ljy there have been some concerns raised by refugee groups about the ethics of this. ethics of detaining people who arrive here seeking asylum. they have been concerns about how workable it is some calling it unworkable. the practicalities you hurt in that programme about where you you would actually put all of these people. there are already tensions within the uk about some of those people who have already come across the channel are staying and where they are beeping up in hotels or smaller towns for example. that is causing some tensions in the uk as well. so there are concerns about

the practicalities, ethics, also historically fairly low levels of people being returned. concerned about the number of people in return agreements with other countries. as we do not have the fine detail of this legislation, but we just have that brought a thrust of it. we should get that a bit later this week when the government actually puts this to parliament. then rishi sunak will meet the french president towards the end of the week as well towards the end of the week as well to talk expecting on further measures there. but certainly there is a sense of uk government that this is something that they want to stop. the prime minister said that illegal migration is not fair on british taxpayers and not fair on those come here legally and not write to the criminal gangs should be to continue their moral trade. —— in pakistan's former prime minister imran khan has accused the government of dragging him

to the courts by filing fake cases against him. mr khan made the remarks from his home in the city of lahore which was surrounded by his supporters. they were there to prevent the police arresting him on allegations that he wrongly declared presents from foreign leaders while he was in office. let's go live now to islamabad and speak to our correspondent farhat javed. great to see you there. just give us the latest on the story if you could. . , the latest on the story if you could. ., , , could. the latest is their regulatory _ could. the latest is their regulatory authority - could. the latest is their regulatory authority has | could. the latest is their - regulatory authority has proposed could. the latest is their _ regulatory authority has proposed a ban on broadcasting speeches and comments and press conferences of the former leave prime minister imran khan. he addressed supporters who gathered outside his residence and address them in setting that imran khan has been dragged to the courts by the government by filing these big cases. so there is literal authority today issued an order

saying that imran khan has been making these litigations against the state and has been spreading hate speech and also adjust today that the former army chief was helping the former army chief was helping the prime minister and government leaders by postponing in the accountability code. so these allegations we saw today from the former prime minister at the same time, this is important to mention that this was not the first time that this was not the first time that he has had such things. but initially the court settled the span and then later on in another such case the present government set aside this order by the revelatory authority. this is happened again today and his party is now saying that they would file a case again against of this new order and would go to court and get it set aside. at the same time, his party is also ready to file protective ——

provisions for protective bales to get him free from the situation that he was in today when police reached out to arrest him. where he had warrants against him. this is the situation right now. his supporters outside his residence in lahore and imran khan was not there as the plea said today. when they went to arrest him. . ~ said today. when they went to arrest him. ., ~ , ., said today. when they went to arrest him. ., ~' , ., , said today. when they went to arrest him. ., ~ , . said today. when they went to arrest him. ., ~ i. , . ., said today. when they went to arrest him. ., ~ , . ., ., large rallies have taken place across israel for the ninth consecutive week in protest at the government's plans to overhaul the judicial system. tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered in tel aviv, where police used water cannons to clear the crowds. there were also some clashes injerusalem. the government's proposed reforms would allow ministers to choose supreme courtjudges, and would limit the court's powers. critics describe it as an attack on democracy. 0ur reporter sofia bettiza reports.

for the ninth week in a row, tens of thousands of israelis took to the streets in the capital, jerusalem, and in tel aviv. they've been protesting against a controversial plan by prime minister benjamin netanyahu that would allow ministers to choose supreme courtjudges and would limit the court's powers. tonight, we came to express our democratic rights and to fight for what's right and to hope that there will be a constitution and the separation of authorities will remain as it is and will improve, without impulsive reforms and without crazy people in the parliament. parliament includes a number of nationalist religious parties that have made changes to the justice system

a key priority. they say that the supreme court needs to be reigned in from overreaching into the political sphere. but many fear that this will weaken the court and give the government too much influence when appointing judges. the separation of powers is very important and they want to cut the judicial independence and i think it's very dangerous. besides, what's very dangerous is the way this government is treating palestinians and the fact that it wants to annex big parts of the west bank. it's very extreme nationalist, racist, religious, even fascist government. these were the largest demonstrations so far against the government's judicial reforms. they were largely peaceful. but later in the night, things turned violent. some people broke down barricades... ..and blocked highways.

the police used water cannons to clear the crowds. and things are getting increasingly tense. earlier this week, police in tel aviv fired stun grenades at protesters. but with many people fearing that democracy in israel is under threat, those tensions are likely to get worse. sofia bettiza, bbc news. well for more i'm joined now by the head of the oceans team at the international union for conservation of nature, minna epps. thank you forjoining us here on bbc news. so what have we achieved a?

today. unfortunately we cannot hear you, i'm not sure if you are muted but i wonder if you can have a peek again. hello? can you hear me? i wonder if you could just say hello back. no. 0k. unfortunately we seem to have lost our columns there. we will go back to that when we can. it is a great story. now prince harry. prince harry has described writing his book �*spare' as an act of service — and says he hopes that sharing details of his life will help others. here's our royal correspondent daniela relph. for an hour and a half, they talked. it had the feel of a therapy session. prince harry on grief, family and trauma. i certainly don't see myself as a victim. i'm really grateful to be able to share my story.

i do not and i have never looked for sympathy in this. you had to buy a ticket to watch the online conversation. each one came with a copy of spare. harry described writing his book as an act of service and spoke of feeling trapped within the royal family. i always felt slightly different to the rest of my family. i felt strange being in this container. and i know that my mum felt the same. now, 38 years old, dad to a son and a daughter, he vowed not to repeat what he saw as past mistakes. i, as a father, feel a huge responsibility to ensure that i don't pass on any traumas that... or, i guess, any negative experiences that i've had as a kid or as a man growing up. harry was candid about his own mental health. the doctor even diagnosed him

as having attention deficit disorder, a condition that affects behaviour, and they spoke of using psychedelic medication. i started doing it recreationally and then started to realise how good it was for me. and i would say that it is one of the fundamental parts of my life that changed me and helped me deal with the traumas and the pains of the past. 0n serving in afghanistan, not all of us agreed with the war, he said, "but we did what we were trained to do." there was, though, nothing about his current relationship with the royal family. no questions on whether he would be at his father's coronation. and as for his wife, meghan, he described her as an exceptional human being to whom he was eternally grateful. daniela relph, bbc news.

weightlifter mirabai chanu has won the bbc indian sportswoman of the year award for 2022. the 28—year—old commonwealth champion also won in 2021 and now becomes the first person to take the honour twice. the award honours the achievements of indian female players and is part of the bbc�*s commitment in india to cover women in sports and news. a huge fire has ripped through one of the rohingya refugee camps in cox's bazar in south—east bangladesh. the charity action aid said their initial assessment was that more than 2,000 shelters had been gutted, leaving around 12,000 people homeless. hundreds of thousands of rohingya refugees, who escaped violence in neighbouring myanmar, have been living in crammed camps near the border in bangladesh. that is our top story at the moment

here on bbc news. more on that right here on bbc news. more on that right here on bbc news. more on that right here on the programme. hello. it's been a reasonably cool and fairly cloudy sort of weekend. we may well see a bit more sunshine over the next few days, but with it a real drop in temperature and some wintry weather on the way, too. through monday and tuesday, we're set to see a bit of snow and ice, particularly for the north and east of scotland and north—east england as well. so there could be some travel disruption. but what we'll all notice is that drop in temperature with a cold arctic air mass piling its way in from the north behind this weather front here. so as we head through tonight, a period of fairly heavy snow for a time across parts of eastern scotland, a few centimetres there, icy conditions developing and then more frequent wintry showers across many northern parts of scotland overnight. further south, some breaks in the cloud allowing temperatures to get down a few degrees below

freezing and a few splashes of light rain across england and wales first thing tomorrow. that cold front sinks its way south. so a little bit of light rain through central parts of the uk. to the south of that, sunny spells few drizzly showers, but 7 to 10 degrees. further north, though, that's where that cold air is streaming in from the north. so typically only about 2 to 6 with those snow showers continuing to accumulate for northern and eastern scotland and north—east england. heading through monday night into tuesday. now again, some snow and some ice expected across northern and eastern scotland and north—east england. so temperatures across the northern half of the uk below freezing but just about above freezing further south as that weather front continues to just push its way slowly southwards. tuesday morning, then we might well start with quite a bit of cloud and outbreaks of rain in the far south as that weather front slowly clears elsewhere, a return to sunnier skies, but a brisk northerly wind driving in more snow flurries, particularly for northern and eastern scotland, eastern england. but there could be a few for northern ireland, too. top temperatures typically only 2 to 7 degrees on tuesday. but when you add on the effect of that brisk northerly wind, it is going to feel subzero for many of us, particularly

for parts of eastern scotland and eastern england where we've got those snow flurries. so this is the zone through monday and tuesday, most likely to see some snowy weather, 5 to 10 centimetres across parts of north—east england and scotland, up to 20 centimetres of snow over the highest peaks. there could be some wintry weather away from this zone. and then as we head towards the middle of the week, a subtle change starts from the south—west as we see low pressure approaching. and then through wednesday into thursday, that low pressure piles this milder air in from the southwest that could well bring a period of rain, sleet and heavy snow. and then temperatures in the south will be on the rise. bye— bye.

you're watching bbc news... a huge fire has one of the range are refugee camps in bangladesh. the place has been brought under control. more than 2000 shelters have been gutted, affecting around 12,000 people. no casualties have been reported so far. saying it will help reverse marine biodiversity losses. also, military
