this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. fire sweeps through a bangladesh refugee camp destroying shelters and leaving 12 thousand rohingya people homeless. china will increase its military spending by more than seven percent this year as premier li—cur—chi—ang than seven percent this year as premier said attempts to contain china were escalating. clashes between greek police and protesters angry at the train crash, as the prime minister asks for forgiveness.

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 for years 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. china is attempting an economic bounceback after 3 years of covid restrictions — and its citizens are enjoying the freedom to go out and spend after the government abandoned its zero covid policy. economic growth has been one of the key themes at the country's once—a—year parliamentary session. but its annual congress has also been used by president xi jinping to further consolidate his power. 0ur china correspondent stephen mcdonell reports. the message to this mass gathering was that the government has a plan for post—pandemic recovery, especially after president xi jinping's standing took a hit from strict anti—covid measures.

people's livelihoods were hurt by three years of restrictions on their movements. yet 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. people told us they're definitely spending more. translation: we're going out l with friends, eating and drinking. translation: the covid restrictions really affected business and now - we are back to normal. the government's written report also mentioned world trade losing steam, foreign attempts to contain this country, and had a call for more combat training in china. 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 bloc 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 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 days of protests. the collision between passenger and freight trains last week, in which at least 57 people died, has caused nationwide outrage as protestors 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 adress to the country. were you able to speak to families that were there? what happened, what did you see? it that were there? what happened, what did ou see? ., , that were there? what happened, what did ou see? . , ., , ., ., did you see? it was devastating to see. we did you see? it was devastating to see- we saw _ did you see? it was devastating to see. we saw you, _ did you see? it was devastating to see. we saw you, me _ did you see? it was devastating to see. we saw you, me and - did you see? it was devastating to see. we saw you, me and my- see. we saw you, me and my colleagues sai a father coming there to the site and searching for belongings of his missing son, anything. he was trying to search for his 0rthodox cross. it was

scenes that you really cannot describe with words. and i think that's why the greek society is building its anger because at first apprenticed or tried to blame this on a single human error while the great public —— greek public considers otherwise. great public -- greek public considers otherwise.- great public -- greek public considers otherwise. when he says human error. _ considers otherwise. when he says human error, what _ considers otherwise. when he says human error, what was _ considers otherwise. when he says human error, what was he - considers otherwise. when he says human error, what was he trying i considers otherwise. when he says| human error, what was he trying to point to? to human error, what was he trying to oint to? ., , ., ., .,, ., point to? to the station master, of course. point to? to the station master, of course- but — point to? to the station master, of course. but it's _ point to? to the station master, of course. but it's there _ point to? to the station master, of course. but it's there was - point to? to the station master, of course. but it's there was a - point to? to the station master, of course. but it's there was a whole l course. but it's there was a whole lots of safety measures that were not working, traffic lights, remote traffic control system that was either not in place or not operational on that day, so a single human error led to dozens of people dying. we really don't know what that human error was. it might be

the refugee council condemned the proposals, saying people would be �*treated as criminals simply for seeking refuge.�* 0ur political correspondent helen catt has the story. just one of the many small boats bringing new arrivals into the uk. last year, more than 16,000 migrants crossed the channel. the prime minister says stopping the boats is one of his top priorities. part of his plan, new laws to prevent people who arrived this way from claiming asylum. the detail is under wraps but it is also expected to ban from returning to the uk. i don't think there will be tens of thousands of people coming if we get this right we are accepting huge numbers of people legally to come to the uk, but i believe this plan, this complete plan will do the job. people who arrive in small boats

are expected to be subject to removal to rwanda or a safe third country, with a duty set to be put on the home secretary to do so quickly, but legal challenges have stalled the government plan to use rwanda and the number of people being deported or leaving voluntarily has fallen in the last decade, from more than 10,00 in 2010 to around 1500 in 2021. this plan is unworkable and it means people will be held for long periods in detention as though they are criminals, destitute, with no means to support themselves, treated in effect like terrorists, and it will cause huge human suffering to them, people who have fled the taliban, fled persecution in iran, who are genuine refugees. the government passed a new law last year to tackle small boats. labour says this is a rehash. we have seen and even bigger increase in the number of dangerous boats crossing the channel

and a huge growth in the backlogs because of home office decision—making has collapsed. the test of this legislation is whether it tackles those problems rather thanjust recycling the same problems again. the government also wants more cooperation with france and rishi sunak will beat emanuel mccraw on friday ——sunak will meet the french president on friday the top of the stakes for the prime minister are high, he has made stopping the boats his personal pledge. regulated railfares — which are those controlled by the government — go up by 5.9% today in england and wales. that's the biggest increase in more than 10 years — but is far lower than the rate of inflation. the government says it's necessary to support crucial investment, and that it's intervened to keep fares as low as possible. here's our transport correspondent katy austin.

all aboard for another fare increase. 5.9%. oh, god. a monthly ticket is somewhere around £600. for the service that you get, because obviously there's always train strikes or there's something going on with the trains, the tracks and everything, it's not really worth it, because half the time you're late to work. struggling to afford it, i spend a lot of money on rail, so it's a big dent to my income. trying to be green, trying not- to use your car so much is actually costing more and more. if the increment is going to make it reliable, then it's ok. the 5.9% cap covers nearly half of fares in england and wales, including most season tickets. a decision hasn't yet been made in scotland. to give a few examples... an annual season ticket from brighton to london has gone from £4,480 to more than £4,700. the equivalent from wilmslow to manchester has risen by nearly £100 to £1,740 and an annual season from swansea to cardiff central

has gone up to £2,068. the government says it has made sure the rise is well below the rate of inflation it would normally be based on. but this year's is the biggest increase in 11 years and it comes as people are facing a host of cost—of—living pressures. passengers have also endured a period of worsening reliability with record cancellation rates and a series of strikes. well, even before this current fare rise, passengers on the whole did not see train travel as great value for money. what customers, passengers, really want, yes, they want an affordable railway, but value for money is about having a reliable, punctual railway as well, and for several months now, that's not been good enough. train companies' representatives said the industry was working hard to make the network more reliable. it's a time of challenges and change on the railway, more working from home means less commuting and season ticket sales

are at less than a third of what they were before the pandemic. flexible alternatives have already come in, and trials of things like scrapping return tickets are coming down the track. with fares going up and up, passengers want to see service levels going that way, too. katy austin, bbc news. staying 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 three thousand 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. present and former staff at twitter have told bbc�*s panorama that the company is no longer able to protect users from online abuse, following mass sackings and changes under owner elon musk. exclusive academic research, and testimony from twitter users,

supports their claims, suggesting abuse is thriving under musk�*s leadership. 0ur social media and disinformation correspondent marianna spring reports. with more than 350 million users, twitter�*s often described as the town square of the internet. but since elon musk took over last october, the company's been in chaos. the personal abuse i receive on twitter has tripled. so i headed to san francisco to look for answers. twitter used to have around 7,500 employees. now at least half of them have been fired or chosen to leave, including lisa jennings young. she worked on features designed to protect users like me from online hate. thanks so much for having us. it was not at all perfect, but we were trying and we were making things better. one of these protective measures was a nudge function, to scan tweets and ask users if they wanted to reconsider posting something potentially abusive.

twitter�*s own research, seen by the bbc, appears to show the nudge and other safety tools being effective. so overall, 60% of users deleted or edited their reply when given a chance via the nudge. is it still happening? is there anyone working on it? no. there's no one there to work on that at this time. the nudge does still exist. but when lisa and i tried it out, it appeared to be working less consistently. no nudge. 0ne engineer still working at twitter agreed to speak anonymously about what's been unfolding on the inside. it's like a building where all the pieces are on fire. when you look at it from the outside, the facade looks fine, but i can see that nothing is working. like others i spoke to, he said it's been difficult to maintain features intended to protect twitter users from trolling and harassment. people like ellie wilson. while at university in glasgow, she was raped. she started sharing her

experience as a survivor on social media last summer. but when she tweeted about her attacker injanuary — after the takeover — she received dozens of abusive replies. the trolls' accounts targeting her had become more active since the takeover. some were newly created, or appeared to have been reinstated after musk�*s amnesty on previously—banned accounts. what would you say to elon musk if you had the opportunity? i would ask, why are these accounts that are bullying and harassing - people still allowed on the platform? i i would like him to read some - of the messages that i've been sent and tell me why those accounts l are still allowed to be on twitter. musk has used votes on twitter to make decisions about its future. these polls have no statistical value, but having contacted him every way possible, i used one to try to catch his attention. over 40,000 twitter users voted and 89% of them said they'd like elon musk to do an interview with me.

neither twitter nor musk have responded to the points raised in this investigation. twitter says defending and respecting the users' voice remains one of its core values. but the users i've spoken to are left with questions. marianna spring, bbc news. and you can see marianna's full report on tomorrow evening's panorama on bbc1 at 8pm and on the bbc iplayer a statement from duke and duchess of sussex suggests they will be invited to the king's coronation in may. it follows speculation about whether harry and meghan, who are based in the us, would receive an invitation. their spokesperson said they would not yet disclose their decision. here's our royal correspondent, daniela relph. at church today on the sandringham estate in norfolk with just under two months to go, plans for the king's coronation are moving forward.

invitations are posted next month. the guests have now had save the e—mails and they include the duke and duchess of sussex. in a statement, a spokesperson for harry and meghan said, since they were last in the uk, harry was in her memoir has been published, a very of fractured family relationships. last night, there was more. well, i certainly don't see myself as a victim. yeah. an online conversation where family breakdown came up more. could go back to the point of trauma so i can live a truly authentic life and be genuinely happy and be a better dad for my kids. at the same time, i am feeling

more and more distant with my loved ones and my family. westminster abbey will host the correlation on the 6th of may, the coranation on the 6th of may, likely to have the first time we see harry and meghan in the royal fold this year. there is no doubt the relationships are strained but could the coronation be a moment of family unity? it will neatly and get upset to be put aside if all the royal family are to celebrate this historic event together. an historic agreement to protect the world's oceans has been approved — after more than a decade of international wrangling over funding and fishing rights. it will greatly extend environmental safeguards which are currently confined to just over 1% of international waters. the deal was finalised at the united nations in new york and is being hailed

as a �*significant step�* by campaigners. 0ur science correspondent pallab ghosh reports. two thirds of the world�*s oceans are international waters, also known as the high seas. all countries have a right to fish, ship and do research there. this means that all marine life, some two million species, are at risk. this morning, the un agreed that 30% of the oceans should be protected areas. the ship has reached the shore. cheering and applause we will formally adopt the text. 0verfishing, mining and shipping traffic has reduced the biodiversity of marine life, with nearly 10% 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 should be shared between nations. several important drugs, including treatments for covid, hiv and cancer, were developed from marine life. and campaigners say 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 sea bed in the high seas. and this treaty was going to be our first attempt, is our first 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? under the new treaty, the environmental impact of activities, such as mining, exploration for fossil fuels

and fishing will have to be assessed in protected areas. it�*s taken a decade to reach the agreement, and there are many more negotiations ahead to work out how the new treaty will operate. 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. earlier our correspondent — divya arya — gave us the latest from the ceremony. well, mirabai did have a tough fight. she was facing other 0lympic fight. she was facing other olympic medal winners. and other women

wrestlers and a boxing champion as well, but she came out as the winner. she comes from really humble beginnings from a small village in the northeastern state of... a daughter of a tea cellar and famously hitchhiked with truck drivers at 4am to make it to a training centre which was far away from the village. along with her, there were other categories that also were honoured, including the lifetime achievement award which went to a former indian hi captain. then there was also an emerging player of the year award right at the other end of the spectrum, a young woman, as she begins her career in boxing, and then we had the power sports women of the year to make sure that the awards acknowledge all women in sports. that award went to... the first indian woman to win a silver medal at the paralympics for table tennis. as divya mentioned — the first winner of the para

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.

good evening, welcome. here�*s your latest sports news from the bbc sports centre. we�*ll start with that astonishing game at anfield where liverpool blew manchester united away. it finished 7—0 with six of the goals coming in the second half as united simply disintegrated. it�*s liverpool biggest win over their great rivals and for united, that equals their record defeat. joe lynskey reports. with these two great clubs, superiority is often shifting. 11 months ago, liverpool won this game 4—0, now united came here ten points clear of them in the league.

at anfield, they know this match can change the mood, it is the home
