around 12,000 people have been left homeless after a huge fire ripped through one of the rohingya refugee camps in south—east bangladesh. officials say the fire gutted around 2000 shelters in cox's bazar district. hundreds of thousands of rohingya refugees, who escaped violence in neighbouring myanmar, have been living in crammed camps near the border in bangladesh. anbarasan ethirajan reports. the bamboo shelters of rohingya refugees in cox's bazar district are no match for the raging blaze. residents ran from the huts with their meagre belongings

as the fire spread quickly. it's yet another blow for the rohingya refugees who had to flee their homes from neighbouring myanmar. thousands have become homeless in a matter of few hours. it will be a challenge for the authorities to rehome those affected. nearly a million rohingya refugees live in squalid conditions and camps scattered in cox's bazar district. the latest incident will put pressure on the ongoing aid efforts. the resources that we now need is to rebuild the infrastructures, and it takes a little time to do that. and as you know, the funding has been depleting. in fact, the world food programme had to cut down $2 from their existing package, which has also had repercussions on the rohingya refugees, particularly women and girls. the fire has been put out in a few hours and the damage is being assessed.

there have been a number of fire incidents in the camps in the past few years, and some are thought to be arson attacks. for the rohingyas, life is precarious, sometimes the camps are inundated with floodwaters, and in the dry season, the risk of fire. a stark reminder on the living condition of rohingya refugees. anbarasan ethirajan, bbc news. the greek prime minister has asked for forgiveness from the families of victims of the country's worst ever train crash. he adressed 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 thousand people had gathered in front of the parliament to demand accountability for the collision. the hellenic train company has told bbc world news it will support the victims, in cooperation with the ministry of transport and all relevant authorities. it says it lost nine employees in the tragedy. earlier i spoke to the greek journalist savvas karmaniolas in athens — and he told me the locals expect the change in the government policy. so right after the crash the prime minister addressed the greek people and refer to a fatal human error. the greek society since then started protesting in anger was building every day. today, he finally apologised to the people and there was a protest outside of the parliament which ended in tear gas and clashes. it was a fairly big one. what are protesters saying?

what is it about? is it about a deteriorating railway system, the way that things have been handled, what are they exactly saying? the protesters don't consider this to be a simple accident. they usually use the term crime for that. they don't seem to except the prime minister's first they may be a shift in government policy. address to the people. 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.

however, we arejoined by professor rana mitter, professor of chinese politics and history at oxford university. thank and history at oxford university. you forjoining us news. thank you forjoining us here on bbc news. what was your assessment of what was set at the congress meeting today? i what was set at the congress meeting toda ? ~' ., what was set at the congress meeting toda ? ~ ., _, ., . , today? i think on the economic side, it was fairly — today? i think on the economic side, it was fairly predictable _ today? i think on the economic side, it was fairly predictable that - today? i think on the economic side, it was fairly predictable that they - it was fairly predictable that they would have a fairly low growth figure, 5% is been put forward and we have to remember that that was from a relatively low base, during the pandemic of the chinese economy suffered very badly, areas such as retail, travel and so forth we are really very badly hit, so giving back more than 5% from that may be a little easier when china was in its previous or go, go economic phrase. the military side is also interesting. it suggests that china wants to road turned that it's got a whole variety of areas where if it doesn't get peaceful results, it may be prepared to use its military strength, the most obvious is taiwan, what happened in aspiration

for many decades to unify the island with the mainland, although it is not stated explicitly, that may be part of the purpose of this military increase in spending. h0??? part of the purpose of this military increase in spending.— increase in spending. how are announcements _ increase in spending. how are announcements like _ increase in spending. how are announcements like this - increase in spending. how are . announcements like this received increase in spending. how are - announcements like this received by the chinese? do they take things to heart? a lot of this is also to do with foreign policy, and you can't always say that china is as open as many other democratic countries are. i think it is right to say that overall, part of the audience for this is domestic. the international world is going to pay attention, but it's the domestic audience that really does need to be on board, because when china's government wants is a feeling of national endeavour, in other words, the idea that military spending from economic growth will benefit the wider population as a whole. the middle class in china, the people who live in cities, like shanghai, beijing, they have been feeling bruised the last few years because of the effects of covid lockdowns, problems

of the economy have really affected them, so i think this is partly a message to tell them that actually the government is looking to try to reverse those particular difficulties. i think part of the aim is to try to get a wider feeling of national pride from the idea that china has an army that can stand up to the united states, generally seen as the great rival, but let's also be frank, there are different views within a country of more than a billion people, some people are probably more nationalistic, more welcome this military spending, this will be more concerned to say let's get the economy going and not worry so much about actually thinking about conflict and war.— so much about actually thinking about conflict and war. let's close our discussion _ about conflict and war. let's close our discussion on _ about conflict and war. let's close our discussion on conflict - about conflict and war. let's close our discussion on conflict and - about conflict and war. let's close our discussion on conflict and war| our discussion on conflict and war because china is having to walk a very delicate balance at the moment showing some form of allegiance with russia and yet having to keep the eu on side because there are a lot of trade deals there. how would you describe that dichotomy at the moment? i describe that dichotomy at the moment? ~ ., describe that dichotomy at the moment? ~' ., ., , moment? i think right now, china is auoin to moment? i think right now, china is going to maintain _ moment? i think right now, china is

going to maintain and _ moment? i think right now, china is going to maintain and the _ moment? i think right now, china is going to maintain and the united i going to maintain and the united nations and with the eu and other activities and officially neutral position about the ukraine war. it is going to say, look, we're not going to take sides, but they've also made it clear that their only answer their partnership with russia continues to be a very important part of the international stance. they welcome senior russian officials to moscow recently there were probably a presidential level meeting and the idea of that is that whatever else they think about the russians were in ukraine, there is no intention of letting washington, dc have the last word. both beijing and moscow consider it that ultimately it is washington who is their main opponent, not each other. 0k, fascinating. thank you very much indeed. 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 2 million species, which provide food, jobs and medicines needed for human survival. after a final 36—hour marathon negotiation, countries agreed last night how to protect these ocean regions. the ship has reached the shore. applause and cheering. we will formally adopt the text. the high seas are the world's international waters that aren't controlled by any nation. until now, all countries had a right to fish, ship and research in these areas. but it has 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, and there could be many more discoveries out there. marine genetic resources are the genetic resources of things like deep—sea sponges, that you might find out there on the seabed in the high seas, and this treaty was going to be our first attempt, is ourfirst attempt, to actually work out what happens if you discover that those genetic

resources are very valuable. for example, is it the new aspirin, the new drug on the market? now, richer nations have promised to share the proceeds from any products developed from the deep sea. as part of the treaty, all countries have also agreed that any future activity in these protected areas including mining, fossil fuel exploration and fishing, will have to be assessed for their environmental impact. 60 countries need to sign the treaty before it can take effect. it is hoped this will be achieved in a couple of years. esme stallard, bbc news. the british prime minister, rishi sunak, says he's committed to ensuring that people arriving here on small boats to claim 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".

0ur political correspondent helen catt has more from westminster. rishi sunak has made this one of his priorities in government. over 16,000 people who cross the english channel in this way in small boats last year, there is an acknowledgement that this is a problem. that 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 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 being put 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. concerns about the number of return agreements with other countries. as we do not have the fine detail of this legislation, but we just have that broad 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 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 right to the criminal gangs should not be allowed to continue their immoral trade. still in england, strikes by ambulance workers from the unite union — due to take place tomorrow and on wednesday — have been called off. the union which represents 3,000 ambulance workers says it will enter into pay talks with the government. 0ther unions representing ambulance

staff, the gmb and unison, announced similar decisions in recent days. 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. a senior member of mr khan's party formerfederal minister fawad chaudhry has told us that a application they made to the supreme court to dismiss the arrest has been successful. earlier our correspondent farhat javed spoke to us live from islamad to give the latest update. the latest is their regulatory authority has proposed a ban on broadcasting speeches

and comments and press conferences of the former prime minister imran khan. it came after 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 regulatory authority today issued an order saying that imran khan has been making these baseless allegations against the state and has been spreading hate speech and also adjust today that 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 he has had such things. but initially the court settled the ban 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 petetions for for protective bales to get him free from the situation that he was in today when police reached out to arrest him. a spokesperson for the duke and duchess of sussex has confirmed that they have received email correspondence from his majesty's office regarding the coronation. buckingham palace had declined to comment on reports that prince harry and meghan have been invited to the king's coronation in may. the spokesperson for prince harry and meghan said "an immediate decision on whether the duke and duchess will attend will not be disclosed by us at this time."|t follow suggestions that the couple have been contacted by email

about attending official events sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre. good evening. only one place to start — anfield. manchester united arrived there ten points ahead in the premier league, having won their first trophy under erik ten hag last weekend. liverpool in contrast have struggled — but on sunday they found their best football again. 7—0 it finished tojurgen klopp's side, their biggest ever win over their rivals. six of the goals at anfield came in the second half, two from mohammed salah who's become the club's record goalscorer in the league. 2 goals each too for cody gakpo and darwin nunez. roberto firmino with the seventh. liverpool are now three points off tottenham in fourth with a game in hand, and seven points behind united who remain 14 points off the leaders arsenal. it sounds like a day from another season, it doesn't really fit in the season so far. it is even better, because it is incredibly important for us, we need results and performances,

and tonight we got both. a super performance from the start. but we know the result is a freak, but the performance was outstanding, and that is what i'll take. it was not us, it was not our standards. we didn't play as a team. the repairs on the pitch that were not talking, and when you look at this, it's unprofessional. we have to take this. it's a strong message that we have gotten, and what happened exactly, take lessons at. everton are still in the relegation zone after drawing 2—all at nottingham forest. they led twice but brennanjohnson scored both forest goals to earn them a point. that keeps forest 4 points above the bottom three. everton had led 2—1 at the break thanks to a demari gray penalty

max verstappen made the perfect start to the defence of his formula one title, with a dominant victory at the bahrain grand prix. the dutchman started from pole and quickly built up a lead. he took the chequered flag almost 12 seconds ahead of his red bull team mate sergio perez. fernando alonso was the big surprise of the race, claiming the final spot on the podium on his first appearance for aston martin. lewis hamilton was fifth. australian alex de minaur has won the biggest title of his career. the atp 500 mexico open in acapulco. the 2a year old came from a set down to beat the american tommy paul. it feels great. it feels amazing. i know the hard work that has been put into be here and, you know, it is good to see the result. it is not always that you win a tournament and you get to finish a week. so i will definitely cherish this going into the world in miami.

that's all the sport for now. lovely, thank you. judy heumann, a renowned activist for the rights of disabled people in the united states, has died at the age of 75. judy heumann was an internationally recognised leader of the disability rights movement, whose activism led to the implementation of major legislation in the united states. she also served in both the clinton and 0bama administrations. on twitter, former us president barack 0bama said he was fortunate to work with her, and paid tribute to her life—long dedication to the fight for civil rights. joining us now is marcie roth — ceo of the world institute on disability, and a long—time associate ofjudy heumann. the thank you very much forjoining us here on bbc news. your reaction

of 75. she fought a lifelong battle for the rights of disabled people, remember —— and remembered by barack 0bama. 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—10 celsius. further north, though, that's where that cold air is streaming in from the north. so typically only about 2—6 celsius 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—7 celsius 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 pea ks. there could, though, 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 south—west 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.
